Headset Mode - General Topics

Hi guys,
I've got a lot of problem with my Xperia X1.
First I had camera problems, than vibration, they house cracking, mini mouse stuck and now my headset plugin.
I was outside and listened to music. When I came to home battery was empty so I charged it. When I turned on and headset wasn't plugged in I got it still in Headset Mode which makes me stuck right now.
I've tried to update rom, but didn't helped.
I've tried to plug in and out toooo many times, but still not worked.
I've turned my mobile off and plugged my headset out and turned mobile on, but still not fixed. And I saw I'm not the only one which has this problem.
Any other fixes are always welcome.
Thanks anyways.

cruise+Nokia bh-501 a2dp bluetooth headset

Hi guys....
have you got any info or experience with this "couple" devices ???
Yesterday I got the nokia bh-501 and I paired it with my cruise.
It worked fine the very first time I connect it and paired it with the cruise.
when I turned the nokia off and turn it back on, the little headset symbol that showed up the very first time, DOES NOT show up again and ofcourse sound does not get rerouted and it doesn work....
So I removed the pairing on my cruise and restarted it again.
Well also this time it worked, but if I turn both off and then on again, the cruise does not see the nokia anymore...
GRRRR
Please...do you have any idea what's going on ?
Please help
Rick
I got one yesterday and it works fine. Are you sure you pressed the multifunction button again after releasing it after turning it on the 2nd time? You have to press and hold to turn on, then press again once to connect.

Bluetooth headsets no audio on 2nd day

Got my wife a TF-300 for her birthday back in May and just bought an LG HBS-700 stereo bluetooth headset for her from Amazon.com last week. Opened the headsets box, read the quick instructions and noted all I had to do was turn them on for the initial pairing. Turned BT on in the settings of the TF-300, turned on the headset, and it paired & connected fine. Tried music player & streaming TuneIn radio. All worked great. All audio apps seem to work perfectly. She used it all day Tuesday.
Then came Wednesday.
Woke up the tablet, turned on the headphones, started the streaming audio, and nothing. Checked BT connections and it showed connected. Adjusting the volume shows the BT icon, but no audio out through BT at all. Turn BT off and it plays through the speaker or external jack just fine. Turn on BT and it's gone again.
Tried everything I could think of. Un-paired and re-paired the headset several times. No help. Did a manual re-pairing, still no good. Tried the headset with 2 different cell phones and they work great. Turned WiFi off and still couldn't get any audio out through BT. Even tried playing local music and still no go.
I read the earlier models of the Transformers had numerous BT problems, but I thought they were all fixed in the 300.
Any suggestions at all?
Have you try to reset the tablet ?

Usre Nokia BT 'phones here regularly with no issues. When you say testedwith cell phones is this in call mode (mono) or HQ Audio? try deleting the device before re pairing.
Got a computer you can pair up with and try? Eliminates the headset as the problem if it works. :thumbup:
Still Charged Up

Do you mean a "Factory data reset" in the settings menu? Won't that wipe out all the apps & data I have on the tablet?
I hoped I wouldn't have to resort to that just to get BT working, especially if it's not a sure fix.

I tested the headsets on my Epic 4G and my wife's Evo 4G both in phone and HQ audio modes. Both worked great.
I tried to "delete" the headset listing by unpairing the headset then turning BT off then on. The listing disappears, but I'm not sure some of that data isn't cached somewhere. I then put the headset in pairing mode, but nothing is searched for by the pad until I turn BT off then on again. When I do it finds it and I can pair it and connect fine, but still no audio.
The play/pause/fwd/back buttons work on the headset to control the playback, just no audio out at all from the TF-300.
Really starting to bug me now.
My moto stereo headset has the same issue with the tablet. Its a bluetooth issue.
Sometimes the tablet shows connected but won't show bt icon on volume changes. I also lose audio like the op.
Only rebooting the tablet fixes it, hold power button down.
I had a TF100 that did the same thing. So I doubt its hardware, its software related. The headset worked fine when I had a iPhone.

Hard Reset This cleans system caches, but does not delete any user data.
Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off. Press and hold the VOL DOWN and then POWER button at the same time for at least 10-12 seconds until after the start-up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top of the screen, then let them both go. If the TF booted the way it always does, you have not accomplished the task, try again until you have seen the 2 icons in the screen.
After a few seconds you should see a couple of icons in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". The right "Android" will have a green highlight fading in and out. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Booting Linux" appears in the list near the top of the screens and let it reboot. If you own a keyboard dock be sure you do this with the dock connected.
This process applies to all TF models, however, if your Prime or tf300 is locked up, there is a reset available using the hole just below the microSD slot, this is NOT the same as a hard reset.
I got this info from transformers forum.
The is also the factory reset but you loose all your data.

Huge thanks. The hard reset seems to have fixed it for now. We'll see how it handles it after a few on/off connections with the headset. If it turns out to be a constant problem my wife will definitely not be using the headsets as she has no patience for rebooting the tablet every time it won't connect. Hopefully it will work right from now on.
Thanks again.
Glad that i was able to help :good:
The Hard reset procedure helped me, too. I have had exactly the same problem as OP with my TF300T. I checked two my bluetooth headsets - they were both not working.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
Greg O: let me know, if the problem appears to be fixed constantly, or not.
Edit: O.K., unfortunately, this helped me temporarily. After some time of listening, sound disappeared again
is the bluetooth audio bit enabled and connected when this happens?
as in not just the device being connected, but when its connected tap the little equaliser icon next to it, and check that it says connected to media.
I have "Media audio" and "Phone audio" both enabled.
Update about my problem: Yesterday I got the Jelly Bean update OTA (Android 4.1.1) and it seems that "no sound on Bluetooth" problem was solved. I have been listening to the music for some time now and everything works fine (there is a small delay between voice and video on films, but I can live with this).
Happy now.

good to hear its working now - just in case it happens again, what i mean is to check again those settings when the sound doesn't work and make sure it says connected to media. But hopefully won't happen anyway!

Hi There,
I Have an Asus Transformer (something with 300) and a bluetooth headset.
I Have downlaoded two apps, to route the music to the headset:
1. Bluetooth Manager ICS
2. BTmono
first one works fine for me, until i made an firmware update.
now nothing works. settings says, the headset is connectet, buttons works fine, but no sound
the apss says all is fine, but no sound
the headset works normal on handy, and pc.
i have tried hard reset, but nothing. it wont work
i only wont to hear music on the go.. can it be so difficult to du that with a bluetooth headset?!?

Inconsistent Bluetooth autoconnect since ICS

This is driving me batty. Ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone will not consistently reconnect to my Soundfly View that I use in my car.
Sometimes it connects automatically, sometimes not. I did completely remove the pairing from both devices and repaired, but to no difference.
Most maddeningly, today, it wasn't connected, so I woke the phone (by pressing power) and unlocked it, then it connected. Almost like it was "asleep" or something???
Anybody else have this issue? Is there any fix?
I don't have a suggestion for you, just saying that my experience has been the opposite. I use two completely different stereo bluetooth headset devices to listen to music all day at work (neither one of them has a long enough battery life to last throughout the day so I have to switch)
I use a sony mw600 and a samsung hs3000. I'm sure they are different than your car thing, but I'm sure they do the same thing. Ie, phone and media sounds go through the headset instead of the phone.
Autoconnect has always worked well. For what it's worth I use poweramp as a media player and in the settings there is an option for a persistent service to always start auto playing when the phone pairs to either device, and to stop playing upon a device disconnect. All I have to do is turn on the power, or turn off the power, the service automates the rest.
So if your intended point of the car thingamabob is to get songs to play from the phone through your car speakers, and to use the car speakers to talk on a phone call, maybe consider a media player that has a similar option to what I'm talking about. I'm sure poweramp is not the only one that does.
Thanks for the reply (and sorry for the late reply...busy, and been experimenting).
I've been using the app A2DP Volume which sort of does what you suggest, to launch any app upon BT connect. It's been working fairly well...but I still have this problem.
After some experimentation, I really believe the phone is going into some kind of deep sleep if I haven't used it in a while (even though it is on). My clues: one, this Bluetooth issue, where it will not connect. However, I've gotten to the point of just hitting the power button (even through the case) when it does not connect, and it will then immediately connect and play just fine. Also, I've noticed that in the mornings I have started to hit the power and swipe, and it doesn't show that I have any new email. So I hit power and put it away, and it will ding in a few minutes with my new mail. So at some point in the evenings, it quits checking email.
Is that plausible? I've looked everywhere for some kind of setting, but don't see any.
Well, I blew that theory...
Left work yesterday, it connected fine, first time. Stopped to get gas, got back in, didn't connect, until I pressed power. So, it could not be a sleep problem, over just a few minutes.
I don't get it. So many use BT in their car, but it's always been a pain for me.

[Q] Nexus 5 unresponsive when bluetooth paired.

Hello,
I have my nexus 5 for a good week now. I use Unified Remote a lot as a bluetooth remote control. I noticed when my phone is paired with my PC (and the unified remote server), my phone becomes 'lazy' and unresponsive. First, i tried to unlock my phone, but the screen stayed black. I was thinking of the worst. After trying to unlock it for a while, very calmly, the screen popped up. It was like my phone waked up from a very deep sleep. I could not relate these issues to the bluetooth, altough it was paired. I thought it could be the charger, my HTC One X acted weird on certain chargers... Later, i get a message, and I noticed it was only vibrating, while I was sure the volume was turned up. So I try to turn up the volume.. No response.. After turning off the bluetooth, I try again: flawless phone, no issues at all. When pairing again: Same issues. Anyone has a clue how to fix this? I'm using Windows 8.1 btw. I searched on google, but found nothing useful.
Should I RMA this phone? Is this soft- or hardware related? What can I do? Anyone has experience with RMA'ing a phone bought from google play?
Okay, So i can relate the lazyness when changing the volume. It was because in my bluetooth settings, my pc was set as sound output, for the cell phone. Sorry for my faulty english by the way. Ticked off the checkmark under the bluetooth settings that said that my PC has to serve as audio output. Phone is good and responsive now. Now I hope that this is also the reason my screen staid black for a while, while trying to 'unlock' it. I will wait and sit this out. Some opinions on this?

Bluetooth issues on 38R?

I've noticed that ever since I upgraded to 38R I keep getting disconnected from my bluetooth car stereo. When it disconnects the Bluetooth icon on the OPO goes grey. It looks like the Bluetooth module is crashing and then getting reset by the OS. I just got done with a 30 minute drive and it happened 3 times. Has anybody else noticed anything funky with the Bluetooth stack?
I've also had the phone itself hard crash several times. Not sure if 38R is ready for prime time.
I'm not running anything custom, just pure 38r on a rooted/twrp device. No exposed or other mods.
I updated manually last night and this morning on the drive in, I had it suddenly switch from my Ford's Sync system to the internal speaker. The dash display showed the phone was attached and when I switched from Pocket Casts to Play Music, it reflected what was playing, but the sound came out of the phone, not the car stereo. I went into the settings and toggled music off and on, switched Bluetooth off and on, then switch the stereo to AM radio then back to Bluetooth and it behaved properly.
I was using Waze which keeps the screen on and things were fine until I got off the freeway and shut down Waze. The screen shut off after a minute as normal, but when I double-tapped the screen to wake the display up, the audio dropped from the stereo and started playing from the phone. Hmmmm. I unpaired Sync and deleted the OPO from the car's side and I re-paired the phone.
It seemed OK until my drive home just now when once again, tapping the screen to wake it up cause the audio to drop back to the speaker. Since I don't use nav apps all the time, this is clearly an unacceptable bug that makes me wonder HTF they're beta-testing. It's nice that the GPS doesn't seem totally broken and the touchscreen goofiness is gone, but being unable to maintain Bluetooth connectivity for media is a huge gaffe.
Ok, I'm still trying to figure out what is going on here. I restored my TWRP backup from 33R and I had two bluetooth crashes on the way home today. Could there be a firmware update that is causing this that would not have been rolled back as part of the restore? I've read online that there is no new radio in 38R? Is there something else causing it?
I ran the full 33r factory image and it fixed the Bluetooth issues. I ran that way for a couple of days and had no BT problems even on a 2+ hour drive. I did a clean 33r to 38r OTA and within the first 30 minutes in the car had a BT freeze and disconnect. Its pretty clear, at least with my device, that there is something wrong with the BT stack on 38r.
I have little different but seems to related with BT.
When BT is enabled, my wifi performance drops significantly. I tried to remove all paired devices and reset BT config, but nothing really fixed the issue. I need to turn off BT completely, if my wifi speed goes down. I'm running 38R. I don't think I noticed any issue on 33R.

I'm having this exact same issue since upgrading to 38r. Bluetooth audio works fine until screen goes off and I turn it on again. Then audio comes out of the phone, but Bluetooth icon is still lit up and otherwise still connected to the car. VERY annoying.

Yeah... Right now when I get into the car, audio plays though the speaker (despite bluetooth connection) unless I open Play Music specifically. Somehow that does something that also fixes other apps (Slacker, book readers, etc).

I'm on 44S, and have a similar issue. Had the issue since 38R though. Bluetooth stays connected to my car fine if I'm not using the OPO or if I'm just streaming music. But in phone calls, it drops the bluetooth all the time. Really really annoying.

I'm having same problem. Disconnects but just on calls and this happens with my BT headset. This doesn't actually happen on my stock Nexus 5. I'm thinking CM must be using different BT drivers? It's been the same on 33 and 44. I'm betting it carries to 5.0. If I don't find a workaround I may be forced to go to a different ROM. Just have no idea which one may be unaffected?
any fix for this?
