Ics broke bluetooth to auto for calls and audio playback

After upgrading to ICS (4.0.4) on my RAZR MAXX, I can no longer maintain a bluetooth session with my car and the audio playback is not working at all. The connection begins and drops after less than 1 minute. This cycle repeats. Calls and audio worked with the same car configuration in Android 2.3.4. After a long search on the net I learn that this is a common problem. Has anyone heard about a patch or work around? I tried disabling wifi - no joy.

I have the same problem with my DROID RAZR. I use a Plantronics Pro+ headset and regularly have hour long conference calls. I had no connection problems prior to ICS. When I upgraded to ICS, the Bluetooth connection started dropping. It will drop then reconnect, then drop, then reconnect, every couple minutes. I end up holding my phone to one ear with the Bluetooth on the other, the call rotates between them. VERY ANNOYING. UNACCEPTABLE. I tried a second Bluetooth headset (also Plantronics Pro+). it worked for about 2 days, then had the same problem.
From reading various postings, I believe this is a problem with ICS and the Bluetooth connection. Nothing to do with what type of headset, automobile, etc. It may be only those of us that had Android 2.3.4 and upgraded to ICS.

Using Iphone for calls and Wifi only for emails and safari

I have a new iphone which is uk based and have a pay as you go card inside
what i want is for it too only use pay as you go for calls and wifi (free in my house and office!) for collecting my emails and going online -
i have set - fetch new data to off but my pay as you go card took 5uk pounds in one day.
Now if i take my sim out is works perfect - they way i want it for now but I cannot be contacted on the phone!!! opps
Please assist this novice iphone owner

One of the problems you're up against is that the iphone is designed to always have a data connection. There is no way, currently, to completely eliminate that data connection & still use the iphone as a phone. OS 4.0, when released this summer, will add the capability to completely turn that connection off, but OS 4.0 has not been released yet. When the iphone goes into sleep mode, it will disconnect from WiFi(to save battery) and connect to the cellular data network for any application that might need data. Again, a design feature that cannot be currently overridden.

USB/Firewire Interface for MIDI and audio (Garage Band)

I want to connect a Roland Handsonic (electronic drum) and Shure microphone to a Mac Pro for recording in Garage Band. What is the best USB/firewire interface for MIDI and audio?

Stereo bluetooth headset works for calls but not for music

I have a Motorola S9-HD that I've been using to listen to music from my iPhone 3G while running for a while now. Today I discovered that I can't listen to music through the headset anymore. It still pairs normally, and it still works normally for calls. When I go to iPod, the phone just starts playing music through its external speaker. It acts as if there's no headset paired, but the bluetooth icon at the top still indicates that it is paired.
I also discovered that if I am in a call and I open the iPod application and start playing music, music is played on top of the call through the headset. The moment I press the End Call button, music switches back to the external speaker.
Anybody ever seen this before with a iPhone 3G? Am I doing something wrong? Did I change some mystery setting or something? Please help!

Thanks for the response. I think you're on the right track here. I discovered something new this morning. I brought my headset to work and tried again. Now it plays music normally. My theory now for what's happening at home is that the headset is establishing a HFP connection with my phone a A2DP connection with my computer at the same time. When I'm out of range with my computer, it establishes both connections with my phone. Does that make any sense and seem plausible? If that's the case, then I just need to figure out how to tell the headset with which device I want it to establish which connection. Is there a way to set priorities for it?

Iphone 6 (Verizon,64GB,space gray) microphone works for text dictation and Siri but stopped working for calls and voice memos.

My iphone 6 the micorphone has stoppped working unless I speak loudly right into it and its still not clear during calls and voice memos. But it works just fine for Siri and text dictation. I use the earbuds for work so not sure how long its been going on. Only change is I updated to iOS 8.1.3. Not sure if I should exchange my phone or if its a software glitch since the same mic seems to work for some things and not others. Any ideas would be apreciated.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

Renewing blocks on specific numbers for calls and messages

I need to renew existing blocks on specific numbers that show an expiration date of today (8/1/11) How do I do that? The numbers still show on the lines, but I have no way of verifying that the blocks are still in place or removed. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Cgriff,
The free Call and Message block that we offer lasts 90 days. However, please note that you are able to change this at any time. For example, the block can be removed before the 90 days is up. In your case, you mention that you want to renew the block. Youc an do so by going in and removing, then re-adding the block. This starts a new 90-day block. It is easier tis way, since you can change the information whenever you want. Below are the steps to follow, for your convenience.
Call and Message Blocking can be added/removed online by signing in to My Verizon using your Account Owner user ID and password and doing the following:
1.        Click on “Block Calls & Messages” icon located under “Plan” in the “I Want To” section at the bottom of your home page.
2.        Click on the “Call and Message Blocking” tab (next to Parental Controls.)
3.        Enter up to five 10-digit numbers under the Call and Message Block tab and click "Apply" once completed.
We also offer Usage Controls, which does so much more than Call and Message Blocking. You can find the information for Usage Controls here:

Thank you for your posting and have a good day!

IPhone 5 works fine with incoming calls and audio books but no one can hear me talk.

I have an add-on blue tooth system in my older Prius and it worked perfectly for a couple of years. I can still receive phone calls and listen to audio books through my radio speakers but all of a sudden my callers could no longer hear my voice so I have to switch the phone audio source to iPhone so they can hear me. This happened when I had the iPhone 4 and has continued with the iPhone 5. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi, Did you test to see if after 2 or 3 mins the phone started working correctly? mine does then it will work for a day or 2 on every call then I have to do the same thing again.

Does an audio splitter allow for power and audio out on the shuffle? (yet?)

(I saw there was a post about this from 2009, but checking again since it's 6 years later)
I want to use a shuffle to play music through an art piece in an exhibit for several months but realized I would need power AND audio. Would an audio splitter do the trick? I see the shuffle USB cable has three white bands and a splitter like the Belkin only has two:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA828ZM/A/belkin-audio-splitter-35mm-m2x35mm-f ?fnode=63582f9cd24290de2d1749b7e75ef4d31…
And if a splitter doesn't work, is there any other way to allow for audio and power now?
thx,
Sarah

Hi JamilMereck,
first of: you can edit previous posts in a time-frame of some minutes (haven't measured it ...).
After that they become non-editable.
I admit I have used microphones some years back with and without PCs (have switched to Macs 2.5 years ago).
But I always had the mics connected to a mixing desk, which provided Phantom Power.
Since I gave up my 'Singing Career' (wasn't good enough) I also abandoned the use of microphones.
To your questions:
It might be that PCs with specified Microphone-In ports are also providing power to them or the microphones themselves do not need any power.
And the 'compatible with...' refers to the usage on computers in general.
The iMic from Griffin works with OSX 10.5 (scroll down on the webpage to 'Product Compatibility' the left icon symbolizes OSX 10.5).
As said above, I am no longer up-to-date in usage of microphones, but when you want to use a microphone with the standard connector you have to get either a microphone preamp or a mixer.
If you use the mic only (really only) with your Mac Pro, you might wanna look for USB-connected mics from Samson or Audio Technica for example.
And don't get upset, I understand you fully and any kind of 'insult' is for the manufacturers and not for me

SSD: for OS and apps, or for samples and audio?

I'm thinking about adding a 256 gig solid state drive; I currently have two 1TB drives. I tend to use large sample-based instruments - Play, Ivory, Vienna, Kontakt, Omnisphere, etc. - but not particularly great track counts. If I used it as the startup disk, 256 gigs would be way more than enough (because audio and video files are on other disks.) As a sample disk it would hold my most demanding and most often used libraries.
What would be the most efficient use of that SSD speed - OS and apps, or streaming samples and audio?

Thanks for the recommendation on size. I found a great answer to my question about file locations at:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12293000#12293000
Using the advanced Options (control click the active admin account) in the accounts pane in System Preferences, one can specify a new location for the home folder. Very practical and way easier than trying to go into all the app's libraries to tell them where their files are.
Now I can just copy my home folder to the internal drive, and delete it on the SSD. After a restart, this new location will be recognized as the correct home folder.

Separate drives for samples and audio files..?

Hello all
I am moving to Macbook Pro (previous gen) with Logic Studio after years of PC (feel like I’m standing on the edge of a precipice staring anxiously down!). Will be looking to use it live in our 3-piece band to run existing MIDI Files and live triggered BFD drum samples
Have decided on getting an Echo AudioFire 8 to handle the necessary Audio outs and MIDI connections and will be replacing our rather dated Korg 05R/W General MIDI module with virtual instruments / samples libraries
I am thinking that once the Bass (probably Orange Tree CoreBass samples through Kontakt 3) and Orchestration (still wide open to suggestions on that!) are done, they’ll be exported as Audio files or perhaps ‘frozen’ in Logic to ease the load on real-time processing
Here’s the query then:
*Assuming that the internal drive will be for OS and programs only, will having the sample libraries and exported audio song files on separate physical drives from each other pay dividends – particularly when considering that the audio tracks (probably no more than two or three stereo files) will be streaming whilst BFD is triggering live samples via MIDI input..? I’m wondering if the samples and audio separate drives situation will be considerable beneficial, or given the intended application, would this approach be merely over-speccing things?*
If that is thought to be the best approach, what do you believe to be the best way of hooking these up? I plan on using the FW400 port for the Echo AudioFire 8 and have ordered a Sonnet Express eSATA Card to hook up an external drive. Should any additional drive look to use the FW800 port or should I simply tag into the spare eSATA port on the Sonnet Express Card..? My concern with the latter is that a bottleneck would occur in the Express port and defeat the whole object
I would really appreciate any thoughts on this
Many thanks
Clive

My opinions:
If you're really only talking about 2-3 audio tracks per song, having them on a separate drive is not going to make that much difference. I'd recommend just using one drive for both audio and samples for now, you can always add another hard drive later if you're getting disk errors, or if you start using more audio tracks.
If you're looking for a good orchestral library, I recommend Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition (about $500). VSL sounds great, and this particular set is much cheaper and still gives you a good amount of instruments/articulations.
If you do go with a third drive, use both eSATA ports. Even with a little bottlenecking, you should see substantially faster performance than with FW800. The data transfer rate of eSATA is over 3 times that of FW800.

Info please...control surface and mixer for fcp and audio recording

i'm looking for a control surface for final cut pro and also xlr/line inputs for recording guitar and vocals in cubase or audacity.
read all the info here after numerous searches. still some questions.
was looking at the tascam 1082 but not sure of the build quality...i saw one and it looked a bit cheaply built. the two demos at guitar center were falling apart. didn't look nearly as well built as the mackie. also i have been reading here and elsewhere about bugs/problems etc.
was looking at the m-audio...not sure about that one...$1250...
was also looking at mackie control surface...but no firewire...how do you hook it up to a mac? also no audio inputs. what would i need to buy to work in conjunction with that for recording audio? if i bought the mackie, i'd still have to buy an audio inpur device and that would end up costing as much as the m audio.
i know i could just buy a mixer for recording and forget the control surface...i already have a shuttle pro which works fine and i have gotten used to using the mixer in fcp...no problems. but the motorized faders on a control surface sure would be nice
so questions:
how does the mackie connect to a mac and what other device(s) would i need to record audio and how would they hook up...would they play nice together?
ppl who own the tascam...happy with it? used the mic and line preamps? are they noisy?
do i need an additional firewire bus reguardless of which control surface i get?
how does one route the audio for these when in fcp? i currently route my audio through my dsr 11 deck. will the control surface just go through firewire or would i have to actually jack into the control surface with additional cables and have to remove my present cables from my speakers everytime i want to use the control surface?
sorry so many questions. it's really tough to make an informed decision in buying something if you don't understand the mechanics of it.
btw, appreciate the info so far that i found doing my searches.
thanks
carl

I've got the Tascam FW1082 and I absolutely love it. I can't believe I ever edited without it. I'm considering upgrading to the 1884 in the future.
As for the mic preamps, they sound great. Nice and clean. There's no such thing as a line preamp, but the line inputs are clean as well.
For routing, I go to the 1082 via firewire until I turn on my external video monitor, at which point I send both video & audio to the deck and route the audio from the deck into a pair of the mixer's analog inputs. That way you avoid the delay of external monitoring. The 1082 allows you to listen to both the computer & the inputs at the same time, so switching back and forth is seamless.
As for durability, I've had it out on a few location recordings, but most of the time it's on my desk. It's still in mint condition. I'm sure if it was on a display where any 10 year old could come mess with it, it wouldn't be in as great of shape, but then again, a Neve console wouldn't look that great if every little brat that walked in the door could play with it. If you take care of your stuff, you'll have no issues with this mixer.

Syncing controls for video and audio, with Closed Caption

Hello,
First, I have Closed Caption and audio within my slide (no audio in video, because I couldn't use Closed Caption then) but now the audio can be turned on/off from project control bar while video continues to play. I tried to add a control bar to the video (hoping I would have control over both playing and audio) but now audio is controled by project slide control bar and video is controled by video control bar.
Is there any way to sync the 2 control bars? Or at least give control to the audio on the video control bar instead of the project control bar?
Thanks,
ROV Tech

Your theory is proven false.
On the contrary, the variable framerate is the cause of sync issues and you just confirmed it.
Similarly, would you say that FCP is completely useless for all practical purposes, because it can't create Blu Ray disks?

Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
-Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
-Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
-When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
-Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
-Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
-Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.
