A2DP Headset problem

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.

and me, funnily enough I have a Samsung MP3 player and the headset works perectly with that - good old HTC

[Q] Trouble with media audio playing through speakerphone while phone is ringing

I am having trouble with my Razr Maxx.
Whenever I listening to audio on my phone, and I receive an incoming call, instead of the ringtone playing I hear whatever I am listening to over my speakerphone. I thought this may have just been an issue with my Bluetooth stereo headset, but it happens when my wired headphones are in as well.
The issue is not the ringtone itself either because I changed the ringtone to SILENT, and it did the same thing when I got a call.
This has been happening for a few weeks now.
I tried clearing data\cache from the stock call app, same issue.
My phone is rooted but there is no custom rom installed.
Audio source doesn't matter either, it happens when im listening to Google Music or a BeyondPod or watching a downloaded video.
This is a little annoying since I work in a cubicle and out of the sound of thousands of keystrokes being typed Dan Patrick's voice is blasted through my speakerphone because I received an incoming call.
I had Blacklist installed so I uninstalled it but this did not fix the issue.
I want to try everything else before a full restore, any suggestions?

[Q] Audio at phone even though Bluetooth headset

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!

Bluetooth Audio

How is the Bluetooth audio quality on the S6? I use many wireless headphones and speakers so this is an important factor for me. Is it true that the Bluetooth audio randomly stops sometimes?

Mine randomly starts to skip and pop after some time playing. Turning the BT off/on fixes it for a while.
The problem is worse when paired with my Bēm speaker, rare when paired with my JBL speaker, and nonexistent when paired with my Sony soundbar.
All of these speakers work fine with my other devices.

I only use bluetooth with my truck's stock stereo, but this is the first Android device I've had paired with it that doesn't skip over BT. I've used it with S6, Note 3, Note 4, S5 Active, S4 Active and iPhone 6+. iP6+ was the only other one that didn't skip.
S5 Active and Note 3 also skip with a Jensen BT Nav headunit in a different vehicle.

An update to my previous comment..
I went for an hour-long drive and experienced no skipping or popping while paired to my car's stereo.
It seems the issues are only with specific Bluetooth receivers/speakers.

I can get on-board with this. I have a few different bluetooth devices, all of which have no trouble, ever, but then sometimes (and ONLY sometimes) my BT headphones will skip and stutter to the point that I just turn them off. The other devices work fine 100% of the time.

I'm at my wit's end with the bluetooth on this device. It skips and stutters more times than not. It's embarrassing when friends are over and we're trying to have some background music playing.

No BT problems here. Maybe you have a defective phone. Take it back to the store and try to exchange it. There is no excuse for crappy BT on a $700+ device.

My wife has an S6 also, with the same issues.

I have FINALLY noticed an issue with the BT on my phone. When connected to my truck and listening to music, I go to a call (incoming or outgoing doesn't matter), when the call ends and goes back to the music, the volume "flutters". It goes low/high/low/high alternating twice a second. It's a very slight change, but it's enough to notice that it sounds "weird".
Exiting and restarting PowerAMP, or switching to a different input then back to the BT audio stream will fix it, so I haven't figured out if it's the phone or my truck.

Strange bluetooth problem

I have a strange problem when connecting my Mix 2s with my car system through bt.
I can listen to the music just fine, but when i skip to the next track, i must pause it and restore it again to hear the sound.
Unless i do that, the track plays but with no sound. Can it be that the phone cannot stream fast enough, so when pausing and starting again, it restores the sound? I cannot change the bt settings in developer options, seems it's a bug of MIUI 9.

Something similar is happening to me, when connected to any bluetooth device the audio goes through the device and the bt device.

Installing MIUI 10 solved my problem.

For me bluetooth is working fine, except that my car will not show my contacts. It is clearly not a problem with my car, as my mi5 with lineageOS 15 showed all my contacts. But when someone calls it shows the name. Are there any contact sync issues known in miui?
