[Q] BT headset mutes after 5min - HTC Sensation

I'm using my HTC Sensation (ROM 1.45.401.2) with a Nokia BT headset (BH-903)
http://europe.nokia.com/find-produc...ies/headsets/bluetooth-stereo-headsets/bh-903
It happens that most of the times during a call (but not always), the headset mutes after about 5min or a bit earlier.
I do not listen others and the others do not listen me, but the headset does not switch off.
Then I need to switch it off a on again. It reconnects automatically and then the call can continue indefinitely without problems...
As I guess I can't upgrade firmware to my headset, I wonder if some of you ever experienced similar problem with this headset or any other, on have some suggestion on how to address this issue.
As this BH-903 is a very convenient BT colar headset, I'm really looking for a solution as I do not see in the market any other suitable replacement.
Many thanks in advance for your support!

Now using the latest ROM (ROM 1.45.401.3) but it still hangs the headset after 5min.
It look it will be difficult to find a solution for this.

A2DP Headset problem

I have a Sony Ericsson A2DP Headset. It connects fine for both calls and for listening to music. There is however one small annoying issue.
If I'm listening to music (generally I have to have the volume up quite high) and a phonecall comes in and I take the call; something weird happens when the call ends.
The bluetooth connection is dropped and basically everyone in the vicinity gets and earful of whatever music I was playing before the call. This can be pretty bad if I'm sitting at one of our quiet, open plan offices. If I press the play buttin on my headset it reconnects and audio comes in over the headset again but it's not good to have to do this after every call.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Whenever I encounter a quirky bluetooth problem, deleting the pair relationship and repairing sometimes helps.
Works fine for me... Could be headset specific, as I use Motorola S9's and Plantronics 855's without the issue you're having.
It does it for me too. After the phone call the music is played through the phone's speaker for just a couple of seconds, then gets transferred to the headset in mono for a couple of seconds before reverting back to normal.
I can see this would be annoying if you were in a quiet place.
Sony Headset
and me, funnily enough I have a Samsung MP3 player and the headset works perectly with that - good old HTC

Bluetooth HF disconnecting during a call, although BT stays on

Please help! I tried to search for an answer to my problem, but while it seems there have been issues aplenty with WM and BT, I couldn't find a similar case.
So, how it goes: I have my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 Bluetooth stereo headset connected to my TP, when I receive a call. I pick up the call with the headset, and everything goes smoothly for a couple of minutes, but then suddenly I can't hear anything from the earplugs. I check the phone, and it shows that BT is on, but doesn't have the icon indicating that a headset is connected. I check my headset, and it's powered up. The call has been transferred to the phone. I restart my headset, and the TP discovers the headset, after which I can redirect the call to the headset. After a few minutes it all happens again!
It's extremely frustrating! Can anyone help, please?
I'm using standard 1.90.401.1 WWE ROM.

Bluetooth issues since OTA upgrade to 2.1

Moderator: Please move to Eris general discussion. Thank you.
I have done two factory resets to attempt to solve this with no luck.
I have two BT headsets and my car hands free paired with my Eris. My headsets seem to drop the connection to the phone for no apparent reason. Also, before the upgrade, if I walked out of range of my phone, it would reconnect automatically when I got back in range. This no longer happens.
Also, when I get in my car with my headset connected to my phone, it disconnects the headset and connects the car's hands free system. I want the headset to stay connected in that circumstance. Before the upgrade my headset would stay connected.
Also, when listening to audio (music) on one of my BT headsets, I connect to the aux jack in my car, the BT audio is supposed to disconnect, but that doesn't happen. The audio continues to play through the headset and nothing comes from the aux on the car.
Anyone got any ideas on how to solve these issues?
Get a new phone.
Let me clarify - get a non-Sense phone.
HTC neutered BT in Eclair Sense because it was causing "compatibility issues" or some BS like that with Sense. We discovered this when owners of the Incredible started to complain about it.
It's not a problem, it's a feature!!
Seriously, though, if you root your phone and install an AOSP ROM (like CELB or KaosFroyo) your BT will work exactly right again. That's what worked for me anyway.
The feature comment was funny and right on. Thanks for your help.
One other the thought. The car BT uses the handsfree profile. The Plantronics Pro headset I use is capable of both the headset profile and the handsfree profile. However, when it pairs with the Eris you don't have a choice to use handsfree profile so it pairs under headset profile. I think handsfree profile has priority on the Eris. If I could figure that out, I probably would be better off.

[Q] Audio at phone even though Bluetooth headset

I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth headset which I use with the Nexus 5.
(Almost) every time I make a call, the headset first blips and you can see in the dialer that Bluetooth is chosen for sound output.
But just after dialing, the audio is back at the phone (handset earpiece). So I have to switch to Bluetooth again. Then during calls, sometimes the audio is routed back to the phone again.
It always works when you move it back to the Bluetooth headset again but it is very annoying.
Phone has stock 4.4.2-latest.
Any other threads about this? Bugs @ Google? Couldn't find anything..
I guess it depends on the Bluetooth device you're using. My nokia bluetooth headphones work perfectly where as I face similar problems like you when I'm using it in my car.
Maybe try the app soundabout from the playstore. Seem to work (sometimes) on my N4 when I had phone audio problems.
Easy solution to my problem: Unpaired the headset and paired it again, now it works as expected!

How to better manage bluetooth?

I am having issues figuring out how to best manage bluetooth on my device.
I use a bluetooth headset, and separate bluetooth headphones.
I am having the following problems:
1. If I am on a call and my headphones are on lying on my desk from an earlier music session, when I answer the call it goes to headphones. Thats OK, but sometimes I just want to speak on the phone. So I hit the bluetooth icon on my call screen to just speak into the handset. This works but after a few seconds it automatically keeps connecting unless I turn off the headphones. Is there any way to keep this from happening other than switching it off (which sometimes is a pain since it may be packed away in a bag, etc.)
2. Similar problem except between bluetooth devices. The call may get answered by my headset, and then during the call it ends up switching to the headphones. Is there any way to prioritize between two different bluetooth audio devices that are both connected in terms of which one you prefer to handle the phone calls?
Thanks.
