[Q] Use bluetooth headphones microphone in calls and apps

I'm using a ROM based on Android 5.0, not rooted, but rooting is doable. I have a set of Bluetooth headphones (JBL Mini Reflect BT) and no audio input is taken from their microphone (not in calls, but neither in apps like Recorder or Skype) and the phone's internal microphone is used instead. Would it be possible to use the BT headphones' microphone in the same way as a wired headset's microphone is used when connected (meaning it would override the internal microphone by default and be used in both calls and apps)? If yes, how should this be done (which apps/which settings)? At the moment I cannot use BT microphone in any of the apps/calls.

headphones weird sound

Hello XDA,

my earphones are making a weird buzzing sound. i know its a software e fault with the microphone because my stereo works fine. so i want to make a hard reset with my p8000. but how can i do that?
on my earphones in can only hear the music. the voices has a echo effect. also with enigeermode i wasn't able to fix it. anybody suggestions?

Which headphones are recommended for the HTC 10?

I was lucky and got an HTC 10 with high res earbuds but now my other headphones suck except the beyerdynamic DT 770 pro but they are not for everyday use :p

What do you guys use?

Btw. Are the Apple Earpods working for you? Mine are not recognized by the phone...

My headphone's mic randomly stopped working on my Edge 6. What could the issue be?

So, I was on call and mid call the headphones stopped working. I am 90% certain that because how the phone's screen comes on during call at times, the settings have been changed. I just don't know what they are.

This is what i have tried to troubleshoot the problem.

1) test my headphones on my laptop. (the mic works)
2) tested my friend's iphone headphones on my phone (the mic works)
3) restarted my phone multiple times (the mic doesnt work)
4) changed the TTY setting to "TTY-VCO" (it barely fixed the mic problem. but then the speaker phone stopped working.
5) looked for "noise reduction" setting as per few posts. i couldn't find it.
6) i used an app to see the phone is picking up any noise. (the app couldn't pickup anything when my headphones were plugged.

I am really trying to avoid the reboot or factory re-set option that few have suggested in other posts.

Does anyone know what could be the issue? how do i change this?

Samsung Galaxy SIII - HeadPhones Mic - Noise record ... no problem in calls

Hi,

Great Forum,

I have an Samsung Galaxy SIII - Europe - Kitkat 4.4.2 - no root

With internal Mic (near USB), I make call and record memos ... and no noises, glitch, nothing :D

With Headphones - Samsung (came with the phone - originals)
- Calls ... no noise ... nothing :D

- record with the original "Record App" and many from app store lots of Noise
and other strange noises.

Wipe Cache, Safe mode ... no difference:crying:

Thank you for your Sug. :laugh:

Best Regards,

Ruy
