Here's my issue... I have a kensington bluetooth headset that pairs as both phone and media headset. If I'm playing mp3s and receive a call, it'll pause the player and answer the call. After I hung up, the music player will continue to play the music, but I stop hearing anything from the headset, even when the phone still shows that it's paired and functioning.
I've tried different music players and they all had the same problem.
I tried dialing a number out in the middle and hang up before anyone answers, and that works as the music will pick up after. The problem seems to only occur if a successful phone connection is made.
I don't think it's a problem with the headset because it used to work fine when I had my iphone 3G. And the music player will continue to play if I don't pair it with my headset.
Could someone else test this and report your findings?
I have the saame problem when connecting via bluetooth to my car stereo... I have to shut the bluetooth off on the stereo and turn it back on before it will work again... the control from the stereo will work but no audio comes from the phone or stereo

Same here, player keeps going but I don't get any sound out of my headphones. Have to toggle bluetooth off/on in order for it to work again.
Anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

I found that it has to do with the stock rom. I flashed the Desire Z rom and it resumes fine... Odd they didn't correct this in a OTA.

Cm6.1 breaks bluetooth...

I'm now on CM RC2, and yesterday I received a call while driving on bluetooth and the music resumed after the call... so I guess it's fixed!

There was an app that i saw in the market now i can't find it
The only one I have found is Super BT Mono Froyo. There is a free version limited to 5 days and a $5.99 version.
It also has the added benefit of using your bluetooth headset to record audio for videos.
You'll want to press "Turn off Super" and then kill it with a task manager or force stop before disconnecting your headset/disabling bluetooth. Or else your phone will reset.
Also, sometimes the audio will revert back to the phone's speaker after a call. Just open the app again, turn it off and then back on.
Wish there was a better app out there that did this.
Trying it out tomorrow thanks

Mine just does it....
I think you need a BT headset with A2DP support, then when you connect to the phone, it will say "Connected to phone and media audio."
Mine will play music, ringtones, text-to-speech, through my headset, all stock.
I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.
With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.
Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.
Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.
I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.
Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?
This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.
Hey guys,
I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem, but when I am listening to music on my phone using bluetooth headphones I occasionally have the sound cut out, transfer to my phones speaker for a second, and then either pause the music or resume playing the music on my headphones. Every now and then when I am listening to music, the music cuts out but my music player (either stock HTC Music app, Doubletwist, or Winamp) will still show that it is trying to play the music, but no audio will be coming from my headphones. When i try to pause/play the the music again, the music player freezes and eventually everything on my phone locks up and the "HTC quietly brilliant" splash screen will pop up as the phone spontaneously reboots itself.
After the reboot finishes, my Bluetooth connection will show as "Turning on..." but it never officially does, and music still doesn't play through my headphones. My headphones will still beep at me, indicating that they have established a connection at some point.
Anyone else experience this problem? It only seemed to pop up after the ICS update. If it comes up. I am running the stock Sense ROM, non rooted.
you are only the 3rd person I have seen with this problem myself included,thing is mine only happens when I listen to Pandora.I was told it was more than likely the bluetooth module is bad,not so sure about that
Bluetooth problems
Yeah I'm getting the same problem. It's got sooo bad now, bluetooth isn't even loading after a reboot - getting 'stuck' at "bluetooth is turning on". Pain in the wotsit as I can't use the phone across bluetooth in the car. Occasionally loads then crashes a few minutes later. Several reboots and it MIGHT work for a short period,, but nearly always crashes. Anyone know of a way to reset the pairings - maybe that's the problem?
Mines a standard non -rooted Sensation on O2

Same problem
I also have same problem. Unpredictable Bluetooth headset function off-and-on and short period (a few minutes) working.
Some day it works well and some bad day it's gone. What happen to my phone !!!
I'm not sure, it's hardware or software problem. I flashed to a few ROMs (Vipers, Virtous Inquisition, Megadroid), this same problem still occurs.
I've looked at a few threads about a Bluetooth issue, but I'm not having that. I can pair a bluetooth headset and listen to music all day long. I do when I work out in the mornings as well.
The problem is when I get in my vehicle (I've tested it with regular headphones as well) and hook up a 3.5mm cable, it only sends system sounds. I cannot listen to iHeartRadio, music player, or Pandora. I'm sure any similar programs would yield the same result.
Rooted and with a custom ROM (currently Bean's but it also happened when running Synergy). Has anyone found this a little finicky?
Interesting...I assume you're using stereo Bluetooth, which works fine by most accounts.
That sounds like your hardware is just totally defective. Have you tried turning Bluetooth off and using the headphones? It may be as simple as it still sending the media stream to your Bluetooth device, which is normal behavior. As we have found out the hard way, you can't use both at the same time.
This issue mainly affects those of us without car A2DP Bluetooth that allows streaming all audio so we need to use the aux jack for media audio. When we do that we cannot use Bluetooth for calls unless we disconnect the stereo cable.

Yes it was stereo bluetooth. As far as defective hardware goes, I actually think it's a firmware/software issue. This is due to the fact that when I first installed Bean's Rom it worked again for a day. I probably went to the gym in between the days and then noticed the problem. The bluetooth is off when I'm not using my headphones.
I just placed an order on Amazon for a double din Clarion deck with just about every bluetooth profile offered (exaggeration... have you ever wiki'd bluetooth profiles?).
Thanks for chiming in! Always nice to get a reply.
Has anyone successfully managed to get the phone to stream music via Bluetooth. I've tried my sound bar, Moto S11's, cars, trucks, SUVs with no luck. I can take calls on all, but no music via bluetooth streaming.
Do it everyday, with both my car stereo for calls and music and also in house with small bt speaker in my kitchen.
Never had an issue with connection once

I do it everyday as well. Listen to music and podcasts over LG Tone+, and it works in my car with Ford Sync too. The volume is jacked when using it with a stereo headset but that's another issue.

Used it in my car several times. Under the Bluetooth settings for the device your connected to, make sure its checked to use a media device.
Do this everyday as well. I connect to my Mazda 3's stereo as well as Bluetooth speakers at home without a single hitch.
Connecting is not the problem. Phone connects fine. All my cars recognize the connection because I can make calls from my cars. I get my calls too. I just can't stream music to my head units. Works fine with my HTC One call and streaming. Just can't get the streaming to work.
I have a budget JVC head unit for my car, and it always drops the signal. (Has done it with the One, GNex, iPhone...)
While the phone is "connected" toggle the source on the Bluetooth receiver, meaning - switch it to AUX, then leave it for a couple seconds, switch it back to Bluetooth and see if that helps. Also when there is music playing, crank up the volume on the phone (volume rocker) because there is a separate volume level for Bluetooth sound versus ringtone volume.
Hope this helps in some way

Ahhhh, your car may not support the media profile, just phone.

Nope. They all support it. My HTC One streams music no problem. I've resetted the phone multiple times and now my Bluetooth file exchange is not working. I'm going to have to RMA it. Which sucks.

In the Bluetooth settings for your car, so you have the box ticked for streaming music? There are two boxes for mine in the seeing profile for my car ... handle voice calls and music stream.
I have switched off voice calls for my Bluetooth speaker in house using the profile settings for that device
