I just wanted to share something that I found the hard way.

The Mute is NOT working if you are using Bluetooth with a CM7 based ROM.

I actually am using EB 2.4 ROM and I was listening to a conference call with my Bluetooth headset with the Mute selected on the phone when I got an e-mail from a colleague telling me to mute my phone :( :( :(

This issue is already listed in the cyanogenmod project page as issue# 4439.

I just wanted to let people know of this bug and hopefully be saved from some embarrassing moments.

UPDATE:
The issue happens in all CM based ROMs that I have tested so far, including the beta ICS CM9 ROMs

Interestingly enough it does not work in CM9 either. Tried the build, love it but hate the missing mute function.

That's too bad. I was hoping it would've been fixed on CM9.

Oh well. Just need to keep being careful and using the mute feature of the conference itself, instead of the phone.

BTW if you don't have an issue downgrading you can go to 2.3.3 and the problem goes away.

A BT connect problem may arise (as for me) but still worth a shot.

I think I remember something about the CM team saying bluetooth will never fully work, they had to do a workaround just to get bluetooth headsets working in the first place. Also, you should update your Eaglesblood build, 2.8 has some nice new things.

That's too bad. I was hoping to hop on the ics as soon as this issue got fixed :(.

Ping... CM7 issue #4439 is marked as fixed. If you have the bandwidth please try and spread the word if fixed.

I've seen the new status, I've not tested yet because I'm not sure if I need the new baseband with CM7.2 or not....

I'm affraid of trying to install the new baseband and mess up my current ROMs.

Thanks for following this issue.

Mute when on Bluetooth still not working

I am a very new and mostly very happy CM7 user with an LG G2X that was in desperate need of getting off of the stock ROM. I did the installation last night and just found out the hard way that my mute button does not work when I'm on my bluetooth headset. I came across this thread when searching for a remedy.

I'm not sure if my exhibiting the bug confirms that it still exists, or if there are other files/etc. that I need to upgrade or swap out. (i.e. radio, etc.) that did not come with my download last night.

My details:
Android 2.3.7
Baseband M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [JUL 15 2011 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
Kernel 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected]) )
Mod version CyanogenMod-7.2.0-p999
Build date Fri Jun 15 19:45:03 PDT 2012
Build number GWK74

Any advice/assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ive never seen anywhere where it stated tht bluetooth did work correctly on CM7 roms.
On a BT note, I'm typing this with an Apple BT Keyboard paired to my G2x, go figure...lol
What works and what don't!

Actually just found out that blueant Bluetooth headsets can be muted by holding vol+ and vol- for 3 seconds... go figure.

You may want to check your headset manual too.
