Phone turns bluetooth microphone and speaker off, bt stays on

[perrisiam]

Hello Everyone.

A recent problem, no new software, no updates, I've done a search, both here and on the internet, no solution I can find;

zte zmax, z970 metro pcs, 4.4.4 no root

Started a few days ago, when using bluetooth to make a call, the call goes through, bluetooth stays on, but the phone defaults to phone mic and speaker

I know bluetooth is still on as I can still end the call through bluetooth

To get the bluetooth re-engaged while on the call, I have to toggle in the phone applet, bluetooth icon to speaker on, and then back to bluetooth.

I think this started with a google update, but I did go back to the stock app and it didn't solve the problem

When I go into safe mode bluetooth works as it should.

I've uninstalled the only program that accesses bluetooth settings, (which was torque).

It just feels like this is a phone setting and not a glitch, I can hear the phone actually turn off the microphone. I've cleared the cache of all data, and I tried clearing the cache of bluetooth.

Hope someone can steer me in the right direction, thanks in advance

surprised how little support this forum now gives, I see other blue tooth problems without one post in response.

Anyway, I figured if my post was anything like most people with problems, I wouldn't get anyone offering ideas so I did a factory reset.

For anyone else, if you come up with a solution, go ahead and post for other peeps, this is a common problem around the internet but nobody has an answer yet
