OK, so I've noticed since I bought my phone that while I'm driving to work, with the bluetooth on on my headset, and when I plug in the Aux 3.5mm cable into the phone, the music transfers to the Car Audio system like it's supposed to. Keep in mind I just bought my Nexus 5 last week. While into my drive (10 to 15 minutes), all of a sudden the music stops playing in the car and switches automatically back to the headset. What's causing this? Anyone experience the same issue? I know I can turn off my bluetooth headset, but if I get a call, I want to able to answer it quickly. I'm currently using the A2DP Plantronics M50.
Another issue not in the subject because I was cut off from the character limit:
How come when I have bluetooth turned on and answer the phone physically on the phone by swiping the call answer icon to the right, the audio automatically defaults to the bluetooth headset. Why? It should route the audio to the phones earpiece, not the bluetooth. If I wanted to answer with bluetooth, I would press the bluetooth answer button. This happened on my Nexus 4 as well.
Anyone with info please?
I have the same issue. Oh wait, i'm the OP...

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
Yesterday morning i got my Tilt (Hyperdragon III ROM) off the charger and noticed that the bluetooth icon on the start bar was different. It had a headphone icon around it, instead of the headphone icon with a music note inside it. (I looked for pictures on the intertubes, but couldnt find an example).
Anyway, I'd seen the icon before, but only when I had a meeting reminder going off or if I accidentally activated voice tags. I thought it was odd, so I put my Plantronics 220 headset on and tried to play some music just to see what would happen.
For an hour, I was able to listen to music through my headset! When I got into my car to go to work, the icon went back to a normal bluetooth icon and my music switched to the phone's speaker. I think the reason it did that is because the phone automatically connected to the BT Speakerphone in my car. I've not been able to listen to music through my headset since.
I've tried and tried to make this happen again, and the only thing I can do is get 3-4 seconds of audio through the headset if I activate voice tags. I've read about a third party app that toggles audio output between the headset and the speaker, but I didnt have any interaction with any app when this happened yesterday.
Any idea how I was able to do that?
could be it hands-set vs. wireless stereo bluetooth connection ?
That's how mine delineates between the two...
No. If I go into the properties for my headset, the only profile is "Hands Free"
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.
