Wired headset issues: sound not playing through it.

My wired headset has never worked like in Windows Mobile. Polaris just refuses to play music through it. I think developers are working on this, but some users have found workarounds that work.
I created this topic to keep track of this issue in order to give it the importance I think it has. I hope you think the same.

I also agree that this issue deserves more attention from the developers, especially because, at least for me, is the main inconvenience with Froyo at the moment (this and the related issue with usb mounting and adb).
I can confirm that one workaround is to plug either the headset or usb in recovery mode and then quitting into android, after that it works as normal until the next reboot, in the sense that if you unplug and replug the headset / usb it will recognize it. I don't know if it will be hard to fix, but it seems that android cannot communicate with the usb port after fully booting.

Same problem here. The recovery mode workaround does recognize USB but it would not recognize my wired headset.

The working around for the wired headset RC W100
The headset is working with Incubus RLS12 only when you unplug the headset it isn't directly play on the phone speaker.
You have to stop playing (pause) and turn off (end key) the screen. Unlock the screen and start playing with the music on the phone speaker.
It isn't necessary to reboot with the headset connected to enable it.

Hi!
I can't get my wired headset to play music through it. Unless I've not understand the workaround it does not work for me. Here is what I've done:
- stopped the music player (while playing through phone speaker);
- switched off the display;
- connected the wired headset;
- start playin' again but it plays always through phone speaker;
Thank u.

I can confirm this issue.
I really love the work done with Android, but I can't use it as an MP3 player, because my wired headset doesn't work.
Is this known with the developers, and being looked in to?

Nothing new on this issue so far?

Up!
I am still ionterested in this issue!

Keep Losing Bluetooth Pairings

Anyone else seeing some odd behavior with bluetooth pairings? I keep on having to re-pair with my laptop (Win 7 64x) and my car (Audi S4). Complete pain.

I use it with my computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my Motorola bluetooth headset, no problems since I first paired each (sometime in July).

I have the same issue at times....quite frustrating and I have found no way to stop it from happening....

Yep. I get this too. My only fix has been to turn off my plantronics earpiece and when turned back on it connects.

It used to work fine for me with stock build. Now on JH3 I have the issue...

I am JH3 as well, FWIW. Dunno if JF6 gave me the same problem. I now have 3 of the same device in my Win7 BT folder. I also remember seeing the BT settings reverting to old ones.

Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.

I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.

More Info
While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.
In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.
For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.
If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.
Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.

My rom is stock.
The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.
There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.
I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...

I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.
Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.

[Q] Bluetooth Question

So I am running Vegan 5.1(Which I love), and I just got a new Bluetooth headset which I tried to connect to my tablet so i can play music to my headset during class, however to connect you need to set up with a "0000" pin, which my tablet never asks for. It just says "paired, not connected" and will never connect cause it cant without sending the security pin, is there a way to enable this in vegan 5.1?

Well it depends on the bluetooth you bought because some don't need the pairing code if your in pairing mode hopefully it is A2DP compatible because that's the only way to get music to the headset

My motorola s9 headset said paired but not connected then I long pressed it and I got some other options including connect. The next time it paired automatically but my tab is crashing (and it did) so the very next time after that I had to actually type the pair key 0000 after the long press.
I need to wipe and reinstall everything but I am just waiting till it is totally unusable.

I've done long press and i only have 3 options: Connect, Unpair, Options. Options just has Connect and use device for audio options, but neither let teh device connect nor give the option to enter the pin. Any ideas?

I am running vegan mod, so when you click connect it doesn't? That seems odd... removed dumb question.

I realize this thread is a couple of weeks old but I am having a similar problem and wondered if you ever figured it out.
I am able to connect to my headset and use it to listen. However I have a Creative D100 bluetooth speaker that won't work. It will connect but as soon as I close settings and then start playing music or videos it drops the connection.

or you can use supermono pro
it sends any sound through bluetooth.
i use it for my music and pandora on my phone.
unfortunely my headset wont connect either. what i did to get it to connect is this:
make discoverable
unpair
long press on device and press connect and pair
i can get the pin this way but mine still wont connect. just paired ;(

It is an A2DP speaker. Works great with my Iphone but would love to be able to use it with my gtab for watching Netflix and Hulu through Playon.
It connects fine the connection indicator on the speaker even comes on but as soon as I try to play any type of media the connection drops.

Figured it out. It works fine if I am connected via wifi. If I'm tethered to my phones ad hoc network The bluetooth speaker drops the connection. Guess bluetooth doesn't like ad hoc networks

[Q] Nexus S bluetooth problems

Hey guys
Strange issue here. I paired my phone with my car through Bluetooth to make and receive calls using the car audio system. It works well.
However, if I fire Google Navigation, I can't here the spoken instructions through either the phone speaker or the car speakers.
I was not expecting navigation audio to be routed through Bluetooth audio, but I did expect the navigation instructions to come out of the phone speaker, as it does on the nexus one or the vibrant both running Android 2.2.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks

did you flash a new kernel or anything because the kernel in the dev thread is known to break bluetooth
if it does this stock out of the box try doing a system restore and then take it back if its still acting up because bluetooth should turn on

yea i used the pkg one that had SU etc on it. Suppose Ill have to flash back to stock arg.

just so peeps know with the bt issue flashing this fixed

Bluetooth doesn't stream audio to car - what's your experience
I've got a Ford Edge with the new Ford MyTouch/Sync system.
The Nexus S connects to the Bluetooth just fine; makes and receives calls perfectly. It will also connect to the Bluetooth Audio Stream for music playback, but won't play the audio over the car's speakers. Also, sometimes it connects, holds the connection for just a few seconds and then disconnects. My SGS and Nexus One work as expected, as does the iPhone, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the car.
Seems like a bug in the NS to me.
I'm curious if others are streaming audio/music to their auto's BT system without issues?
It would be especially nice to know what anyone else with a new Ford/Lincoln is experiencing, but I'd also like to compile a list of what cars work and what don't.
I'm going to have to find some other BT device that I can test the stream on to see if my phone works with it or not. Maybe my Nexus One dock? I've never used that to stream audio even with the Nexus One.
In terms of troubleshooting my problem, I've already rebooted the phone and the car, un-paired and re-paired the phone with the car.

I've got a Mazda RX8 R3 and the NS will pair with the in-built car BT but drops the connection after a few minutes. It then refuses to connect again unless I re-pair, then a few minutes later it drops and we're back to square one.
The car's in-built BT worked fine with my HTC Desire, Hero, iPhone 3G and Blackberry 9700 so I'm guessing the Nexus S has a Bluetooth issue.

Mine works fine on my aftermarket Sony receiver.

having issues with bluetooth audio too, stream keeps breaking every now and then. Any fixes?

I've only streamed to the car stereo and had no issues. The phone is only about 10cms away.
Haven't tried my BT headphones yet, maybe range is the issue.
*On original ROM.

tried placing the phone right next the the BT reciever and same problem. Only tried this once, maybe I'll try rebooting the phone.

no problem here
using Bionix 1.2

You're lucky, I can't even get BT music streaming to work with my car. No other BT devices to check with besides my Nexus One dock, which has no speakers.
BT works great for the phone, though, to make and receive calls.

Problem with Bluetooth
I cant get to work bluetooth on Nexus S.
When i enable it and try to send something from SGS to Nexus S it says me "This tranfer was canceled by the user" (Nexus S)
SGS says "Remote device rejected your request"
When i try send something from Nexus S, but use not function Send, i use function Bluetooth - it says me "The application Bluetooth Share (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I tried factory reset, wipe cache, tried flash any other roms, but got NOTHING helpt me. I have this problem on 2 phones (2xNS).
Can someone give me files of BlueTooth share? (com.android.bluetooth)

That's an interesting problem you have. Mine did the same thing transfering from my computer to my NS. I just tried it again when I read your post (to make completely sure what the error was) and it has automagically fixed its self.

Well, seems i need a file \system\app\bluetooth.apk

[Q] bluetooth pairing issue, how to solve?

Hello, so i bougth this great phone, but bluetooth pairing(+autoconnect) is not working at all.
So to the proplem. My opo IS paired with my alpine car stereo, but everytime i go to my car opo asks IF i want to pair it...and obviously it should just connect automatically since i have paired it earlier but no.
Is this some known issue with opo or my device just making me headtache?
IF anyone have had same proplems i would love to hear how you managed to fix it.
PS. All my old phones automatically connected to car stereo after pairing once, so its most definatly opo issue and not the alpine stereo.

Okey, i got this solved by doing 2 things, but because im stupid and didnt test it between these actions i cqnt say which one did the job or was both needed.
1. I cleared "paired devices memory" from my alpine stereo.
2. I cleared paired device list from my handset(opo)
Hope this will help someone else in future who got proplems with alpine receiver and opo.

Problem solved! bluetooth pairing and buffering issues
Hey problem solved
I had bluetooth pairing and buffering problems and now everything works perfectly. what I did was flash OPO_OxygenOS_1_0-modem-flashable.zip (you can find it somewhere in google docs..don't remember the link)
anyway after doing that everything works perfectly.
I am running cyanogen 12.1 nightly build from 20150601
then I flashed the modem.

Technical solution...too much ?

Hello All,
I too was facing issue with the Bluetooth connectivity. My headphone "Jabra Halo Smart" worked perfectly fine with other android devices but my OnePlus One. Issue i faced was that my at times my headphone would get detected but the headphone controls wont work. It was really irritating as i could not use the functionality of my headphones.
What i did was went into the Bluetooth options. Clicked on the setting icon beside my headphone and unchecked and rechecked the options.
Another action i performed was un-pairing the Bluetooth headphones from my device and resetting my headphones paired setting.
Third option was resetting the Jabra app that i installed on my mobile.
Fourth action is restarting your OnePlus device.
The above actions i performed in different orders. So one of them should surely help.
Suggestion provided by OnePlus Call Center: (which i did not need to try )
--> switch off the device
--> Press power+vol down button simultaneously
--> Select English language
--> wipe cache partition
--> wipe cache
--> reboot device
Advice while using Bluetooth headphones or speakers (especially Bluetooth devices having the functionality to connect multiple devices)...switch off the Bluetooth device and then switch off the Bluetooth of the host device (mobile, laptop, etc) and then connect the Bluetooth device to the other host device
Do not keep two host devices Bluetooth on...at times it causes to store the connection setting in the cache causing the Bluetooth device to act strangely. :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops:
