I have an XDA II with a Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset for the last 7 months.
I've just returned one of these headsets as faulty because I kept losing 85% volume in the ear pierce ocassionally when I received an incomming call. I then bought another one and guess what? same problem, so the fault has to be with the XDA phone itself. The problem is I only seem to get this problem with incoming calls, can't remember getting this problem when making a call. When the volume drops I can just about hear the caller but its extremely faint.
The only other Bluetooth device I use is my TomTom navigation unit and although I have had some problems with both devices working together I'm not getting regular problems, just things like the TomTom can't alway connect to the sat box or my headset doesn't always work when the phone rings.
Anyone else had this problem and more importantly the solution???
Thanks
Paul.
I had that problem and I was advised to turn off device, remove battery for 20 secs or so (ensure backup fully charged!!!) and then reinstall battery, reset device (soft) then finally re-install headset ans establish new BT pairing to headset.
fiddly but it did work
good luck
Pete
I did that as advised by Logitech but the problem still occurrs on occassions. Is it a problem with headset or XDA?
Hi everyone,
I've been using bluetooth devices with my captivate ever since I got it without any problems. But after updating to 2.2 last week, i noticed that the phone speaker stops working after you use your bluetooth headset once.
What happens is the following. After you use your bluetooth headset to talk on the phone for example, after that you cannot get any kind of sound to come out of the phone. There are no notifications, no ringing when someone calls you, not even music or sound from youtube videos, simply no sound at all.
The only way to fix it is to restart the phone, then everything goes back to normal until you use your bluetooth device again.
What I mean when I say using bluetooth device is, is actually using it for a phone call. The act of connecting the bluetooth device doesn't affect the speaker. The problem only occurs after using the bluetooth device.
This happens with both BT headset, BlueAnt Q2 and the BT built into my car.
I called AT&T last week with this problem and they gave me a refurbished Captivate and the same problem is happening on the replacement.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Since upgrading I've lost my sound a few times. The only way to get it back is to reboot. I do use a bluetooth.
The other thing I've discovered is that while the bluetooth is connected when I get a notification, the sound that comes through the phone speaker is very choppy. If I turn off bluetooth the notification sound clears up.
We waited so long for such garbage.

At least the sound comes back for you. On my phone it does not, until I reboot the phone.
I have to long-press device, options and uncheck and check use media audio to connect. Anyone else run into this problem or have a solution? Is this a Froyo thing? Or a G2X thing?
My apologies if this has been asked/answered before.

I am seeing the same thing. Sony Xplod bt radio. I did not have this issue on my N1 when it was on froyo. The phone seems half finished. Hopefully our CM7 guys fix it up...or back to the Costco!
Same exact thing here on Sony exploded by unit. The phone auto connects fine but the media doesn't work for me.

Did you get an option to enter a passcode when pairing the device? I did not. I will delete the relationship and then re-pair later today. Will update on the results.
Ananth. You using a sont BT radio?
I have no issues at all connecting to bluetooth headphones. Media connects about a second after phone audio just by turning on the headphones. Don't even touch the phone
Just updating, removing and re-pairing the device do not allow media streaming to connect back in. Still need to un check and re-check

I am using a Volkswagen RCD-510 head unit. Yes, I did get a "pair" message and 0000 went through fine. It connects fine to phone audio, but not media audio. Once connected it all works good, though.
PS: I haven't tried AVRCP (because my head unit doesn't support it over bluetooth)
OK, so I had no issue with one set of headphones, but had this issue with another. Not sure what is different between the 2 though.
Works fine on my Pioneer head unit.
Same issue here - Kenwood DNX-8120 head unit. Worked fine with the N1, have to disconnect and reconnect (sometimes several times) from phone to get media audio to connect.
Hoping it's a Froyo thing... Very annoying.
Got my wife a TF-300 for her birthday back in May and just bought an LG HBS-700 stereo bluetooth headset for her from Amazon.com last week. Opened the headsets box, read the quick instructions and noted all I had to do was turn them on for the initial pairing. Turned BT on in the settings of the TF-300, turned on the headset, and it paired & connected fine. Tried music player & streaming TuneIn radio. All worked great. All audio apps seem to work perfectly. She used it all day Tuesday.
Then came Wednesday.
Woke up the tablet, turned on the headphones, started the streaming audio, and nothing. Checked BT connections and it showed connected. Adjusting the volume shows the BT icon, but no audio out through BT at all. Turn BT off and it plays through the speaker or external jack just fine. Turn on BT and it's gone again.
Tried everything I could think of. Un-paired and re-paired the headset several times. No help. Did a manual re-pairing, still no good. Tried the headset with 2 different cell phones and they work great. Turned WiFi off and still couldn't get any audio out through BT. Even tried playing local music and still no go.
I read the earlier models of the Transformers had numerous BT problems, but I thought they were all fixed in the 300.
Any suggestions at all?
Have you try to reset the tablet ?

Usre Nokia BT 'phones here regularly with no issues. When you say testedwith cell phones is this in call mode (mono) or HQ Audio? try deleting the device before re pairing.
Got a computer you can pair up with and try? Eliminates the headset as the problem if it works. :thumbup:
Still Charged Up

Do you mean a "Factory data reset" in the settings menu? Won't that wipe out all the apps & data I have on the tablet?
I hoped I wouldn't have to resort to that just to get BT working, especially if it's not a sure fix.

I tested the headsets on my Epic 4G and my wife's Evo 4G both in phone and HQ audio modes. Both worked great.
I tried to "delete" the headset listing by unpairing the headset then turning BT off then on. The listing disappears, but I'm not sure some of that data isn't cached somewhere. I then put the headset in pairing mode, but nothing is searched for by the pad until I turn BT off then on again. When I do it finds it and I can pair it and connect fine, but still no audio.
The play/pause/fwd/back buttons work on the headset to control the playback, just no audio out at all from the TF-300.
Really starting to bug me now.
My moto stereo headset has the same issue with the tablet. Its a bluetooth issue.
Sometimes the tablet shows connected but won't show bt icon on volume changes. I also lose audio like the op.
Only rebooting the tablet fixes it, hold power button down.
I had a TF100 that did the same thing. So I doubt its hardware, its software related. The headset worked fine when I had a iPhone.

Hard Reset This cleans system caches, but does not delete any user data.
Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off. Press and hold the VOL DOWN and then POWER button at the same time for at least 10-12 seconds until after the start-up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top of the screen, then let them both go. If the TF booted the way it always does, you have not accomplished the task, try again until you have seen the 2 icons in the screen.
After a few seconds you should see a couple of icons in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". The right "Android" will have a green highlight fading in and out. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Booting Linux" appears in the list near the top of the screens and let it reboot. If you own a keyboard dock be sure you do this with the dock connected.
This process applies to all TF models, however, if your Prime or tf300 is locked up, there is a reset available using the hole just below the microSD slot, this is NOT the same as a hard reset.
I got this info from transformers forum.
The is also the factory reset but you loose all your data.

Huge thanks. The hard reset seems to have fixed it for now. We'll see how it handles it after a few on/off connections with the headset. If it turns out to be a constant problem my wife will definitely not be using the headsets as she has no patience for rebooting the tablet every time it won't connect. Hopefully it will work right from now on.
Thanks again.
Glad that i was able to help :good:
The Hard reset procedure helped me, too. I have had exactly the same problem as OP with my TF300T. I checked two my bluetooth headsets - they were both not working.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
Greg O: let me know, if the problem appears to be fixed constantly, or not.
Edit: O.K., unfortunately, this helped me temporarily. After some time of listening, sound disappeared again
is the bluetooth audio bit enabled and connected when this happens?
as in not just the device being connected, but when its connected tap the little equaliser icon next to it, and check that it says connected to media.
I have "Media audio" and "Phone audio" both enabled.
Update about my problem: Yesterday I got the Jelly Bean update OTA (Android 4.1.1) and it seems that "no sound on Bluetooth" problem was solved. I have been listening to the music for some time now and everything works fine (there is a small delay between voice and video on films, but I can live with this).
Happy now.

good to hear its working now - just in case it happens again, what i mean is to check again those settings when the sound doesn't work and make sure it says connected to media. But hopefully won't happen anyway!

I loaded the CM10.1 rom and everything works fine except with my Bluetooth device Sony SBH-50. I was able to pair the Bluetooth device but can't play the music or get the notifications from the "sony extras (gmail, sms, missed call log, calendar notification etc)" software. When i press the "play" button, my song came out from the speaker instead of my earphones.
Are there any ways you guys can help to fix the problem cause i love the rom to the max!

Hi, thanks of your help. I had downloaded and installed the software but still cant solve the problem. When i press the play button on my bluetooth, the music come out from my phone's speaker. Any idea what is happening? I wish to post on the developer page for his attention, but nt enough post..
Try to reset the bluetooth. I had the same problem. At first it was working ok but since i`ve paired it with two devices your problem appeared. After restarting the settings of SBH50 it`s ok.
I have a quick question with regards to sbh50 how big is distance range of this headset 10 meter or around 100. In spec is 10m however I have got wm600 and they have 10 as well but it works up to 100 meter. Reg, margap
Im also get the same bug.. But im using Nokia BH-214 bluetooth headset.. As he mention, the device completely paired and connect.. But when push play button at the bluetooth device, the music come from phone speaker instead of bluetooth earpieces.. Please help us..
