OnePlus Nord CE3 refuses to use the mic on Bluetooth devices (lemmy.world)

I've been scratching my head with this one for close to a year now.

About a year ago my OnePlus Nord CE3 (Android 14, now Android 15) suddenly stopped recognizing the mic on any Bluetooth devices -- even when a device is connected, it stubbornly uses the mic on the phone itself, never the one on the device.

I've tried this with two pairs of TWS earphones and a Bluetooth speaker, all running either Bluetooth v5.2 or v5.3. All three of these devices work perfectly when connected to my Windows laptop.

Help? This used to work, I can't for the life of me figure why it stopped.

Did Android pause the microphone permissions for your audio apps? I had to turn that annoying feature off on my OnePlus 8 recently.

Also enable developer mode and go into developer options. Scroll down to the audio section and try a different profile or codec while you have your headset connected to your phone.

Nah these are apps (WhatsApp, Signal, phone calls) that I use pretty much every day so it's definitely not due to permissions. I also messed around with codecs in the developer settings and that didn't work either (and also it resets to default anyway when I unpair and pair). It's beyond infuriating -- even oneplus's own TWS buds don't work with this
