I got myself a bluetooth headset recently. It's Plantronics 855, and I had one with my old phone until I lost it. Never had a problem with it. However, with my Shift, it's started this funny thing where the phone will say the headset is paired but not connected. I'll click it to connect, and it will say "Connected to Media Audio," but it never connects to phone audio. The only solution that I have found is to restart the phone.
Anyone know anything about this, or experience anything similar? Better yet, know a solution?
FWIW, I'm running MikShifted-G.
I'm not sure if this is a headset issue, or Rom issue. Try deleting the headset out of the phone. Power down the phone, then restart the phone. Then try pairing the headset back up, and see if that solves the issue. If not, do you have another cell phone you can pair the headset up with? To check if the issue follows the headset. Then maybe try pairing up another headset to the phone.
I'll give all of that a shot. I do have another phone I can pair with - a Blackberry. I had the headset connected to it for a while, but not long enough to see if this problem happened.
I have the same issue
I have an android, thunderbolt phone, and a jabra drive handsfree car speaker and the same thing happens to me.
Sometimes turning bluetooth off and on works other times rebooting the phone works and sometimes nothing works and then a day later it pairs.
I hate blue tooth. A wire always works.
It's a headset AND phone issue. But never had an earpiece connect to the wrong one.

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.

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.
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!
I've tried posting something similar to this without any responses, so please don't bump this thread.
I need to see if anyone has this problem. My n4 did not have this issue.
Shouldn't the 3.5mm line out take precedence over a Bluetooth headset? When I have my bt headset turned on and connected, sometimes I want to play something at home or in my car that requires the line out. Once I plug the 3.5mm jack into the phone, the music starts playing in the cars aux radio even with Bluetooth on. I can be listening to music in my headset but once that cable is plugged in, it auto switches to line out.
The problem is that after anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, the music will re route back to the headset taking over the line out while line out was still playing.
Sometimes I will reconnect the 3.5 cable and it will re route to that but like I said it will eventually route back to the bt headset, so the music stops playing in the car radio, but I'll pick up my bt headset and hear it routed back to that again. Driving me crazy!!
Can anyone please replicate this? It doesn't need to be the line out going to another receiver, so u can even try plugging in headphones but make sure you are paired to an a2dp Bluetooth headset first. Within a few minutes, as long as there isn't anything wrong with my phone, you should get the same problem.
So what I've been doing is turning off the bt on my headset while using line out but it's annoying when I get another call because I have to quickly turn on the headset, wait for it to connect, and then answer the call. Like I said the nexus 4 did not have this problem.
Please help.

So, this is a weird one, and chances are none of you will ever experience it, but maybe you might know how to fix it.
I use a Moto Hint "earset" to listen to podcasts with Pocket Casts and audiobooks with Audible. When I get into the car, the car tries to pair with the phone, but since my car only has phone bluetooth and not audio bluetooth support, I don't bother disconnecting the Hint and plugging in an audio cable unless I'm going further than a few minutes.
But whenever the car tries to connect to the phone, the audio stops. ONLY if I'm using Pocket Casts! And ONLY with the Moto Hint! Audible works fine. My Plantronics headset works fine. Waze works fine.
I've contacted Pocket Casts as well, but I don't expect them to treat this as a red ball
