Bluetooth phone works, media doesn't - General Questions and Answers

When I first got my Note, the bluetooth worked perfectly. On my car stereo and my bt headphones. I could take calls and play music. Then, with no updates on anything different, if the phone was enabled, the music wouldn't play. The phone says phone and media connected, but I get no music. If i disable phone then music will start playing.
I then went to the lightning rom, and it's been working again, until a couple days ago, same problem. What gives? Are there bluetooth drivers to replace the one I have?
Phone is Rooted, CWM

nothing?

Bluetooth Fix

Is there anyway to fix the Bluetooth streaming? I hoped maybe another audio app would be more streamlined than the one that comes preloaded with the phone, but they don't allow me to stream music through bluetooth. Right now my phone sucks at streaming music, even when I close every other app open. My last phone never had any problems at all with A2DP, but I can't get this one to play music at the same level which is a major buzz kill. If no fixes are known, is it reasonable to think that this situation might be alleviated with the Froyo update?
I'm having the same problem, and it's a deal breaker for me. I need the bluetooth A2DP to work. This same headset worked on my Fuze for over a year. When I use the headset on the Captivate, the sound starts and after a minute it fades out to nothing. I've tried Dogg Catcher and the default player.
I dont know...I got a blueant Q1 when I bought the phone and I've no issues using mortplayer, default video player, pandora and radiotime over it.
I did have one problem, when i first connected it, my bluetooth was connected as a single bluetooth. I disconnected and unpaired, then repaired and instead of the phone icon next to my bluetooth device in settings I now have a headset icon. So any sound whatsoever that comes over the phone from 'tap' sounds to games to music comes over my blueant....
Main thing I had to do was unpair and repair to make sure I had headphones icon next to my bluetooth device in Settings-wireless and network-bluetooth settings
I am hoping we can get better sound quality with Froyo. My Old Tilt sounded better than this.
I figured it out. My headset is a Jabra 8010. Factory default on the headset fixed it. First I unpaired it from the phone, just for good measure. Turned off the media player, turned off the bluetooth signal and headset. Turned the headset, defaulted it, then turned on the phone's bluetooth, then the player. Not sure if all that was needed but, it's working.
And the sound is much 'richer' than when it was paired with my Fuze.

Bluetooth Issue

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.

[Q] Bluetooth cutting 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.

All Media Except Pandora Play Through Bluetooth

Running Codename Android
I set up my phone to play through a Bluetooth stereo dock and at first BeyondPod wasn't playing through it but Google Play music was. BeyondPod Started playing through the speakerphone instead. When I realized Play Music was working I opened up Pandora and it also played through the Bluetooth.... until the first song ended and it switched over to the speaker phone. Oddly enough, BeyondPod then started playing through bluetooth. I rebooted the phone and now Pandora is permanently playing through speaker phone only. I downloaded and used BT mono, which caused Pandora to play through Bluetooth with a 15 second delay, but when I shut it off it played through Bluetooth perfectly! I rebooted my phone and it is back to speaker phone only. Now BT mono does not affect it at all.
Summary of what I have tried:
Two separate Bluetooth devices, same behavior
BT mono app, worked at first (crappily) but now has no effect.
Multiple reboots, cleared data and reinstalled Pandora, no effect.
Unchecked and recheck BT setting in Pandora, no effect.
The Bluetooth devices are set to "media" in the bluetooth setting, and one of them was set to "media" and "Phone"
Is this a ROM issue? I love this rom... Any other ideas? I don't think it is a problem with the bluetooth devices considering every other app works fine.
Ok so to add to the mystery, I just tried Double Twist, and it did exactly what pandora did. It played the first song through Bluetooth, and when it cycled to the next track it went to speaker phone. Now I can't get Double Twist back to Bluetooth.
IF anyone is following this, I have found that if I enable BT Mono, the sound stops playing from the speaker, and when I disable BT mono it start playing through Bluetooth.
So just a toggle on and off and it randomly works, sometimes it does nothing though. It's incredibly inconsistent.
Could this be a kernel issue?
Appears to be a general CM10 issue. Sorry.
Not sure what the issue is but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the same issues. I'm trying to find a fix but nobody knows what is going on. I saw on other forums someone referencing the AVRCP version with new builds. Not sure if this is it or not. But I have a 2011 Toyota Camry it will not pair with for Pandora, YouTube, etc... Google Music works but that's it. And I can replicate your issue. If music is playing, I can hear notifications but if it isn't I don't hear anything.
Not sure if this will work for you but it worked for my HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.

MotoG keeps switching between Headset and Speakers

Hello, my name is Zineron, more known as Zinnye. I just fixed a MotoG for me, it works normally, except the audio. The phone keeps Switching between Wired Headset and Speakers, I only noticed that after i went to watch some videos at youtube, and the sound kept failing, because of that bug. The thing is: I can still watch videos, listen to music, play games, but only when the headset is connected. If the Headset is not connected, it keeps switching between Speakers and Wired Headset.
I've been searching around the internet a while, and i found a lot of people with the same problem, but with them, the bug only happens when the headset is connected, so they couldn't help me.
My phone is a MotoG, running android 5.0.2(Lollipop), and it's not rooted or anything.
