How to use phone microphone with Bluetooth FM transmitter? (lemdro.id)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have a car Bluetooth FM transmitter that connects to my Android phone. The problem is that the transmitter’s microphone is very bad and people can hardly hear me when I make calls or use Google Assistant. I want to use my phone’s microphone instead of the transmitter’s microphone, but still use the transmitter’s speaker. Is there any way to do that? I tried looking for a setting to choose which microphone to use, but I couldn’t find any. My transmitter model is Car FM Transmitter W 2.4A USB Charger, Nulaxy™ 2015 Newest Wireless Bluetooth FM Transmitter Car Kit for All Smartphones, Tablets, MP3 Players. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a stock Android feature or Samsung specific, but I have the ability to disable using my cheap Bluetooth adapter for calls under Bluetooth settings for the device

For the call setting under Bluetooth audio devices, I really wish they would break out or separate the settings for using the audio device as a source or sink for call audio. Sort of like how you can disable HSP/HSF Bluetooth profiles for audio devices in Linux or Windows.

This is what I thought of doing as well but didn't works for me. Did you try it yourself?

Hm, yeah it works fine for me. I could never use the built-in mic on one of those cheap adapters

I tried this feature but it didn't work. Did you manage to make a call while switching off the "Calls" in the Samsung phone setting?
