Bad speaking quality via Bluetooth - BQ Aquaris X Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have the problem that the speech quality of the Bluetooth hands-free kit in my car (BMW 1) and my BQ Aquaris x pro with Lineageos 15.1 (have never tested the original OS) is quite bad. On my side, it's not great, but I can understand the other person well (very tinny). However, the people on the other end can barely understand me (high level of background noise, very tinny).
It doesn't make a difference, if I call or get called.
With my previous Samsung S5 with Lineageos 13.1 and Nokia 301, I don't have any problems. In a rental car (Jeep) the speech quality was also bad.
If I just talk on the phone without hands-free, the quality is OK. Therefore, I assume that the problems are due to a bad Bluetooth speaker connection (Bluetooth audio connection e.g. Spotify is also OK).
Has anyone the same issue? Are there any settings I can change or apps in order to improve the current situation?
Thanks for any help,
Schrotti

No one else has this issue? I tried also with a BT speaker with free speech function (JBL Flip4) and the other person on the phone couldn't understand me at all.

This should have been fixed with 2.7.0 firmware update. If not, LineageOS might be a good option for you.

Update - WBS was not enabled and a few audio config issues were fixed, latest LOS 16 has it, just update to that.

Media audio - routing to bt headset

Hello all,
I have been using android on my hd2 for some time. There is 1 thing that I am unable to do which is frustrating.
Under winmo, I could listen to audio books via the Bluetooth headset, is this not possible on android?
Any help gratefully received.

It is quite difficult to do it in Android at the moment. There are a few builds where this is possible, like forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740963 (shubcraft) and forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736545. However, these builds are not 'perfect' IMHO.
There are builds where you can listen to audio via bluetooth but if you get a call, it may reboot, like forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026.
There is no build I have found yet, that has Hotmail ActiveSync support, complete Bluetooth audio (to sync with Ford a2dp), no SOD and good battery life!
I can listen thru my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS headset just fine on following builds and phone calls also :
HyperDroid
Bangster's
mdeejay
...rest I do not run regularly but I suspect will work fine
Is the media-routing Problem similar to my Problem ?
I dont know if this issue is known, so i post it here in hope, that it will be fixed =)
I have in all Android apps wich had something to do with the sound-input/output problems. I had no sound there.
I tested FritzApp! ( a App wich allows you to use your Androidphone as an normal DECT/IP Phone with the Fritzbox!)
Either my communicationpartner hears my voice nor I hear him. Dialing works perfectly just the sound doesnt
And with MicDroid ( Something like LaDiDa for Iphone). ( Records just "Rauschen")
Can you confirm this kind of issue or am I the only Person, plz post your problems.
Or is this problem known ?
kind regards

I would say that it is similar because even my BT system (on some builds) recognizes the phone, connects, plays music, dials calls, but there is no audio (in/out) once the call is connected. This is confusing because there is no issue in connecting as an audio device, the problem is in the phone device.

Blutetooth Problems in Cyanogenmod 9 For I9100G

HI Wizards
I must inform you for the following
I have installed the latest I9100G nightly - cm-9-20120730-NIGHTLY-i9100g.zip
2 problems are repeat themselves all releases
1. In PC - 'Device Manager' can't recognize device's Bluetooth properly - it says that drives cannot be found (a specific one)
2. In Car - I have a Bluetooth Speaker installed in my car. (Nokia CK-100, if required)
When I make an outgoing call everything works properly both sides are speaking and hearing each other
BUT
When I receive an incoming call device isn't recognize as BT connectivity and I can NOT hear or speak via car's microphone. I must use it as handset.
It is a known issue - I saw much of CM9 for I9100G users that complained this problems
Are there any suggestions to fix it??? Does someone know the source of this problems??????
Police might be caught me speaking without BT speaker and then I will get a report....
Trust'n you... tnx
When receive or dial out, my Nokia BH-102 mono bluetooth v2 works for CM9/CM10, but not Jabra Easycall v3 bluetooth. However music streaming works for Jabra mono headset.

[Q] Xperia (U/P/Go) bluetooth headset distorton

I have a strange problem with Xperia Go phone and bluetooth headset. My voice is distorted in the direction to person whom I'm speking and I can not use the headset as daily use.
It seems like the microphone gain is set full-time maximum. If I talk quietly the sound is clear, but if I raise my voice it get distorted.
And this is not just me, some of Xperia (Go/U/P) phone owners report same problem in Sony Xperia™ support forum. For some strange reason, some users do not seem to have any problems?
I've tried three different Xperia phone and five different bluetooth headset device, all have the same problem. Other brand phones with headsets working as it should.
The same problem occurs with a stock ICS / JB and CM9.
How the headset microphone gain is adjusted, is there some mechanism for feedback from the phone? Does anyone here have the same problem?
I had this problem a while ago, Xperia U with Jabra CLIPPER, after using the "repair my phone" functionality in PCC, so contacted the customer support in Jabra and they told me to wait until the battery dies, then recharge, also to use it with Wi-Fi disabled, does not really make sense to me but noticed some improvements, finally sold it, and used a wired headset instead... sad but true...
I have also tried everything to fix the problem: wlan off, charging, screen off, repair phone and hf software, isolated phone to another room (to see if internal mic is active same time with bluetooth mic), tried every settings in audio.conf etc.
I have noticed that the "distortion threshold" depends on bluetooth device - the more expensive device (more sensitive microphone?) - more distortion.
Also, Jelly Bean brought little improvement in the situation, but it does not fix it completely.
Does anyone have an interest / skills to investigate the problem more? Is it possible to monitor messages on phone and the bluetooth device to see if the phone tells bluetooth device to set mic gain at maximum?
seems like my xperia go also having the same problem.. when using bluetooth headset, people cant hear my voice clearly, the mic too sensitive causing my voice distorted, and this problem only happen when using bluettooth headset. tried with a few different bluetooth headset and the problem still there.. any solution for so far? can this problem solve by sending phone to sony service center?

[LineageOS] Fix Left-Channel Only Speaker Problem!

In lineage OS, go into settings, accessibility, and check "mono audio".
Now both channels will play through the TOP AND BOTTOM speakers.
Combined with the "Eliminate Media Audio Distortion" guide, the speaker problem on LineageOS for the Axon 7 has effectively been solved. (95%)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-zte-axon-7-cm13-los14-1-eliminate-t3548598
The problem is: if you enable mono-downmixing, it is also enabled for the headphone output, isnt it? It would be necessary to automatically enable it when the speakers are used and disabled when you plug in your headphones...
Is it possible to do (without energy consumption)?
Or is there any other way?
EDIT: With V4A it's already possible: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ax...-eliminate-t3548598/post71252830#post71252830
As you can see on the poll, this method is a loose band-aid at best.
Having to listen to Mono Audio is a hotfix at best. Viper4Arise does the same. Limiting the gain does not fix the calibration issues.
Someone on the ZTE forums hooked up a scope on the AUX output and read some hefty interference and heavy distortion with LOS.
Remember that when you switch to headphones, you have to revert to stereo output. For people who bought this phone mainly for the capable DAC/Amp combo, LOS is simply not an option currently. Not to worry since you have a couple of stock alternatives.
While being a lengthy process (actually going through an official R&D associate etc.), I'm sure that LOS will be tuned eventually so we can get great sound on alternative ROMS
Just my 2 cents, this fix can be helpful for some people

Update 9.1.0.326 Bluetooth sound quality degraded

Hey everyone
A couple of days ago EMUI prompted that a new update with some system settings changed arrived and required a reboot. After that, mysterious things started to happen...
For whatever reason, SOME sound apps (audible, google podcasts) are now having a terrible sound through bluetooth - it has a metallic echo which resembles an empty room effect. While OTHER apps (probably that play music, such as yandex music) do not experience that. I've tried my car audio and Bose QC35 with the exact same result =( I'm baffled as to what is going on and how to fix it. I've tried switchin between codecs in realtime but that didn't change anything.
I would appreciate any ideas, really don't want to do hard reset....
Build number: 9.1.0.326(C10E3R1P13patch01)

Just to update here: my issue has been resolved with 9.1.0.350
