Hi guys! I've recently noticed that when my headphones are plugged in and when I'm listening to music on my phone google voice randomly activates and stops my music from playing. Sometimes my music pauses or skips tracks randomly without activating google voice. Even my phone started dialing last called contact while my headphones were plugged in and I didn't even touch anything nor I was listening to music. It is very annoying to have google voice activated out of nowhere or to have your phone randomly skips or play/pauses music while headphones are plugged in. That problem is not just appearing while I listen to music but it can appear when I watch videos on youtube. When I take out headphones my phone works great but when I put headphones back in, my music plays randomly or google voice search activates.
First I thought it was a rom bug and I flashed another rom but problem was still there. I even tried different headphones and it didn't help. Google voice was still activating and music was played and paused without me touching anything.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? It's very annoying.
EDIT: I've found solution in this thread.

this is a major annoyance... I've had a Samsung i760 for a couple months now and have found it seems to have a serious design flaw.
I like to listen to music at work, through my phone using a wired headset (two way headset with mic). I work in a quiet office environment. I always set my ring to silent/vibrate while at work. If I'm listening to music, and happen to receive a call, the music will stop playing through the headset and will start playing through the built in speaker of the phone for all my coworkers and supervisor to hear.
The music would continue to play like this even after answering the call... I have to bring up the player and stop it manually. I was able to partially alleviate this by disabling the 'play in background' setting. With that, the music will still play through the external speaker briefly, roughly 3 seconds, before the player pauses the song. Which is still unacceptable.
I have tried TCPMP and Windows Media and had the same result.
Also, if I have the phone set to ring audibly, the ring is forced through the speaker as well, and the music I was listening to AND the ringtone will play at the same time for those 3 or so seconds.
what I'm hoping someone can help me with is a) a way to make ringtones play through the wired headset if possible, or b) at least keep the sound from being forced through the external speaker when the wired headset is connected and I recieve a call. As it stands, I either can't listen to music at work (a big part of why I bought the phone), or I have to turn the phone receiver off and risk missing calls. Either option sucks and is making consider another phone... though I don't know if this is a WM6 issue or an issue with this specfic phone.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump* anyone?
any way thru the registry to disable the built in speaker alltogether while leaving the headphones operational?
On Acer s200, you can change the value of registry key HKLM\Software\Acer\Scenario\HeadsetIn to 1...
Maybe that can help...
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?

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.
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.
As the title states, I've been having BT issues since day one with this phone. I have the phone paired to my 2012 Toyota Camry, but the car interface simply shows 'STREAMING AUDIO' as soon as the phone is connected via BT. problem with that is that the interface only shows streaming audio when something is actually being played. That isn't the case with the 1+1. I am not playing any audio, or making any calls, yet the car interface will show 'STREAMING AUDIO', with no sound being output whatsoever.
Intermittently, however, the phone will start Google Play Music as soon as BT connectivity is established, and play an Unknown Track, even though I have no music or audio files on the phone. This doesn't happen all the time, however. I've tried closing all Google Play processes to see if that will help, but I've had no luck.
I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing its an OS problem.
Bumping this thread. Still looking for a solution to this problem.
Bump, with an update.
I finally got around to purchasing some music thru Google Play, and it seems as if the Bluetooth will stream audio only played thru Google Play Music. YouTube et al still do not work, however.
The weird part here is that I've been using the app "YouListen", which allows me to play YouTube audio while in the background. I noticed that whenever I am playing simultaneously through YouListen and Google Play Music, I will get audio from both streams. Shutting off Google Play Music will shut all audio off.
I read around, and there seems to be an issue with specific models in which Google Play Music gets first dibs on streaming audio, and so there is an option in Google Play Music to shut this off in order to play audio through other apps. However, the 1+1 doesn't have such an option, so I'm not sure the problem lies there.
Again, any help would be appreciated.

Ive been having the same types of issues plus when im making a phone call through my car somtimes BT randomly disconnects!
****Update : I ended up doing a fresh COS 13.1.2 install and it resolved the problem. Still no idea what caused it in the first place, but it seems to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue.*****
I have a stock OPO on the latest 13.1.2 Cyanogen build and OTA updates. I use it to stream music via Bluetooth from Google Play in my Ford F150 with Microsoft Sync. I do a lot of deliveries in the truck, so I use Google Maps/Navigation quite a bit, playing the navigation directions over the truck stereo speakers. The two have always worked well together, with the music dropping to a low volume level when the voice from Maps announces the next navigation point. Then the music goes back to the original volume.
About a month or so ago, I noticed that I wasn’t hearing the the driving directions anymore. The streaming music would drop the volume, but there was no voice announcement playing over it. And then it would go back to normal music volume. It is like it is trying to play the voice, but I’m hearing nothing.
The Ford stereo has a pause button that will stop the streaming music from playing, and when I press it I can then hear the driving directions again. But press the button again to start the music, and the voice is gone.
If I play the music and navigation over the phone’s speakers it works fine. If I get a phone call in the car I hear the navigation voice and my phone conversation over the car’s speakers at the same time.
I’ve tried Waze instead of Google Maps and it does the same thing. I’ve re-installed all the suspect apps to no avail.
I have no idea if there was a firmware/software/app update that happened around the time this behavior started. I already checked the settings in Google Maps to play voice over Bluetooth and during phone calls. Anyone have any insights? Thanks!
