I just got AirPods for my OnePlus One and while everything has been great, the only thing missing is pause/resume when taking them out of your ears. I've read conflicting reports about that feature working on Android, thus was wondering if any other 1+1 user has them?
Here is my experience so far:
- The microphone works in some apps, but not all, and not always.
- Pairing is like any other bluetooth earphone, BUT, you can also pair them to your Apple stuff and switching between Android/Apple is super easy (no need to re-pair)
- They turn on / connect as soon as you remove one bud from the case, which is super nice. This does not start playback so you don't have to hurry and put them in your ears.
- Listening to only one works (with the other in the case). Sometimes there will be a bug where the remaining bud will not register 2x taps to pause, but that does not happen often.
- 2x tap = pause/resume, even if you set it to Siri on Apple.
- 2x tap works 95% of the time (5% it doesn't register). That is true on Apple stuff as well though.
- Removing buds / putting them back does NOT pause/resume, at least not on my Android 6 OnePlus One.
- You can pair them to an Apple device once, then you can always connect them to that apple device from the airplay button or the control center thing.
- If you do that, it will auto-disconnect from the paired Android device.
- When you want it back on Android, you DON'T have to pair again, simply go into bluetooth settings and click on AirPods, they will connect back to your Android.
- This is MAJOR: even when you have the AirPods working on Android, the battery % shows up on your iOS device!! I still don't get how that works, but it does, and it is bloody fantastic.
It sounds like it's just software related as I've seen form posts regarding ear detection automatically switching from Spotify to apple music when the bud is reinserted. Maybe it's just a simple mod on the waiting (also the x2 tap doesn't work when the bud is out of ear which is evidence that the sensor is working)

Hey everyone - first post here (hi!). My Nexus 6P is experiencing a major issue with three separate pairs of headphones with inline controls - basically, it seems to stop registering double-click-to-skip-track after the device enters 'sleep.' The functionality works perfectly when the device is awake, or (I think) kept awake by something running in the background (like a download - not sure about this part). However, I can perfectly reproduce an issue where, while the device is locked and the screen is off, the Nexus will stop registering double-click-to-skip-track on an inline remote after a certain interval. I CAN press the button once to pause/play, which I'm thinking is making the device 'wake up' in the background -- after that, it will begin registering double-click-to-skip-track actions again for a little bit. This is incredibly aggravating to me, since I'm a chronic song-skipper and prefer not using bluetooth headphones.
The headphones I've tested are:
- Sony 'Extra Bass' earbuds
- Official Project Fi 'branching' earbuds
- A store brand pair I'm surprised still works
... all of which worked perfectly with the Nexus 6. I've seen similar reports on /r/Nexus6P and on XDA about people having big issues with headphone and inline remote recognition, but this case in particular is interesting to me because it seems to span across headphone models.
So I'm curious, two questions really --
(1) Is anyone else able to reproduce this issue?
(2) Most importantly, if you're using a pair of in-ear headphones that absolutely do not experience this issue, what are they?!
Just saw your post. Same issue here, but have you had any luck with any headphones?
Just got my RMA in and tried a couple more pairs of headphones (including Beats) with both phones. No dice. I think it's a software issue - if there ARE headphones that work, they're not common...
my headphones do not work either. My xiaomi pistons made for Android will not even play audio on them. Worked fine on my nexus 5. My amazon premium earbuds however can play audio, but vol down button does not work. The vol up and pause seems to work though.
edit:
the amazon ones work if my screen is off, and only when its off.
Just a heads up, neither Google nor Huawei support are aware of any issues with inline buttons not working. I had to struggle to convince either party that there was an issue, and they continued to press me into (another) RMA. Definitely call and let them know.
I had a problem with Apple and Samsung headphones in-line remote.
And Im gathering as much info as I can into one centralized area. If you have experienced something that isn't already on the list, please feel fee to chime in here or on reddit . I'll be copying and pasting links from here to the report as well. I was gonna submit tomorrow but since I'm late to the party here, I'll send it Thursday evening. Thanks a lot everyone!

It seems like I can't remove the Hotspot quick settings tile. I remove it and then it's back again.
Bug reports
I find the keyboard misses a few vibrations on tapping letters, around 2 out of 10 taps.
Casting a movie to my TV stalls and stutters after about 10 minutes every time I try to watch a movie.

That shouldn't matter with the phone. I find that odd. Casting is nothing more than a web browser, more or less. The phone sends a URL to the Chromecast, then the Chromecast plays that URL and the phone is completely disconnected from what happens next other than the playback controls. Phone isn't playing anything, isn't transmitting data, etc. unless you're mirroring your screen or the app is actually streaming from the phone. I'd try a different app, use a speed test app on the chromecast, and do some other troubleshooting there.
Okay thanks. Will try a different app.

Change the vibration back to system default and that issue is remediated

Yep.
You are right. Fixed, thanks ?
My Bose QC25 headphones seem to be incompatible with the USB-C/3.5mm adapter.
It seems like the volume down button is constantly being held down. As soon as I plug it in, ringer volume goes to vibrate.
In-line mic does not work.
Any in-line button press seems to reduce ringer volume and occasionally calls up google assistant.

Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones for Apple devices?
If they use the Apple remote function, they are not compatible with Android.

I am using the Android cable. They work fine on other phones with 3.5mm jack.
However, on my previous Zenfone3 with USB-C, I used the Essential adapter and get the same results. It has to do with the adapter.
This will be going out to essential today at around 7pm pst so if there's anything I missed or anything you all wanna add, do yo thang
I have a problem with Bluetooth audio streaming to my car. I cannot rewind or fast forward. If I try to switch to the next/prior track the sound goes away, but it looks like my Google play music app is still playing. If I re-pair or switch inputs and go back to streaming, the audio plays again.
I can't replicate this problem with either my Google pixel or my wife's iPhone.

I have this issue as well, Also, what you said about the changing tracks, that happens to me as soon as a song ends, and not just with google play music, but with amazon music as well. And while my LG V10 and Moto G4 will send track names and album art to my radio, the PH-1 does not.
Sorry for the late response but everything has been added to the bug report and sent off to Essential. They got back to me with a response, "The whole Essential team monitors /r/Essential pretty religiously, and I know the SW team is looking at the thread. We love that you guys compile stuff like this, as it really does help us make a better product..."
Fingerprint reader gone to sleep
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/help/fingerprint-reader-day-t3679908
Hi guys. I exchanged my Essential Phone yesterday (hardware defect) and now on my second device I still get this random fingerprint reader bug. Once in a while I take my phone out of my pocket and the fingerprint reader doesn't work. I have to press the power button to wake it up.

Fingerprint sensor
I have used all 5 instances of the fingerprint scanner for the same finger in multiple positions while holding the phone. Works fine once or twice but then all of a sudden won't recognize my fingerprint, have to use the pattern to unlock and even then I usually have to reboot the phone in order for the sensor to recognize my fingerprint and after a few times it goes back to not recognizing the fingerprint again. Essential phone ph-1
And yes I have cleaned my hands and fingers and cleaned the sensor multiple times with no change to effectiveness.

This isn't an Essential issue, this a Google dialer issue.
I'm on the latest P beta but this has happened on all versions even O. Whenever I'm connected to a Bluetooth audio device, I get no notification sounds out of the phone. How do I fix this?
Bump
same problem but only since Android 9.0 Beta .
Cant believe only 2 of us has this problem.
Bump
How is no one annoyed with this
You are not the only one bothered by this....it's about to drive me bonkers. I am glad to see it isn't just my device. The way things are acting, it looks like notifications are tied to media volume. I hope this is a bug, and not the way things are going to be going forward. Not a bad deal if you keep your earbuds in all the time, but I, for one, wear mine draped around my neck until I'm ready to listen to media or make a call. I have posted on the google help pages too, with no response.
No sound notification at all when connected to Car Bluetooth. Not on device or Bluetooth speakers since upgrading to Android P
Pixel 2 XL
Same thing here on Pixel 2XL after Pie update. No notification sound in Plantronics Bluetooth headset. I have a custom notification sound file. At first I also had no notification sound on the phone speakers, but after I changed the notification sound back to a factory selection and then back to custom file I do now have the sound notification on the phone but still not over Bluetooth.
I'm having the same issue, has anyone figured out a fix for this.
shocking that Google cant sort out **** on their own flagship device. Android is fast becoming a tangled, complicated, gloopy mess.
Seriously nothing?
I have the same problem since upgrading to 9.0. Running on an original Pixel. I also have video playback issues where, if the app supports PIP (like YouTube) it will just automatically set the app to PIP on its own. If the app doesn't support PIP (Facebook, Chrome) and video is playing, it just goes to the home screen. It resumes when I reopen the app, but it's really annoying.
Same here, while connected to my Bluetooth headset all sound and notification goes to the headset. Definitely annoying, the only thing I could do was send Google feedback.
It seems I'm having the less common issue of the sound of the notifications just being flat out low volume when connected via bluetooth. LG headset. Pixel 2 XL. Same configuration since day 1 of phone release. After Pie update, when headset is paired, I often miss any notification sounds. Like they are set to 1% or something. Calls ring loud and fine. Music, video, podcast volume playback fine. I've adjusted all sound volumes to max paired and unpaired, developer options, forgot device and re-paired to no avail.
I ONLY get the notifications when setting the car audio to media (when streaming BBC radio, Google Music or PowerAmp)
This is a real problem for me, enough to switch phone as soon as I see a deal...
Will hop on.
Bluetooth is completely fcked in Android 9. It was working 100% in 7, then with 8 it killed connection to my car, and now with 9 I started to get bugs with headset as well. Every single day in the middle of the night my Bluetooth disconnects and YouTube starts to play at full volume through the speaker.....it's been crazy
That's on top of wifi issues. Pixel constantly crashes my router and automatic wifi turn on is broken in Android 9, was working fine in 8
No one?
???????
Seriously, this is incredibly annoying. I've been having this issue occasionally, but now I have it nearly permanently because I bought a Fitbit that uses BTLE to connect to my phone. If it's connected, I get no notifications at all. This is absurd. BT is so jacked up in Android 9 now, I'm almost tempted to---shudder---switch to an iPhone. This type of crap is incredibly frustrating.
Hi all, been rocking my flip 3 and loving it BUT, my Buds Live while I can hear music and calls and control volume up and down, they dont double tap to go to next track, dont triple tap to go back a track and does not pause on single tap. I removed them from the system, re added them, reset them but no go. Works perfectly on my Note 20 and tab s7+.
My OG samsung buds work just fine.
Interesting.
My Buds+ have similar issues on my 10+. Got tired of tapping my head and just use direct input now. I have Poweramp so thought it may be interacting.
Now I wonder after hearing of your issues. I just pushed it aside, will play with it again.
In your case make sure no power management is active as it will cause all manner of erratic behavior. Try clearing the system cache too.
Look over all settings.
A factory reset will only waste your time...
It could be a compatibility issue that needs a firmware / kernel update to resolve. The Note 20 Ultra and Tab S7+ were bluetooth 5.0 (same as the Galaxy Buds Live) and this one is bluetooth 5.1 (even though 5.2 is the newest). The original Galaxy Buds are 5.0 LE, which may have better backward compatibility with the current drivers.
works fine for me with same setup, using YouTube Music.
Now it's happening with my OG buds. Only workaround that seems to help is to briefly turn bluetooth off then on. I use PowerAmp for music playback as everything else just sucks in comparison. You would think Samsung buds would work perfectly with a Samsung device, but nope. This is why I will always be an advocate for a headphone jack and decent wired headphones!

Have you contacted Samsung about it? It's starting to sound like a failing hardware

Do a network reset.
Clear system cache.
Disable ALL power management as this is the most likely cause!
Developer options > standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. Go to Device Care> battery, only fast charging should be toggled on.
If those fail...
It's better to leave A2DP hardware offload off but in your case try turning it on.
Pic below is it disabled...
Don't waste your time wiping the imaginary cache.
A better alternative (based on THIS phone) would be to boot into recovery and select the repair apps option. It will simulate the rebuild that happens when installing OTAs.

Thanks, I will try these options and report back!
hmm, I noticed same thing with my Bose NC 700, can adjust volume but nothing more.
edit: seems to be working now.
UPDATE:
One of the last 2 carrier updates fixed this issue. Also fixed the issue of HBOMax not logging in. All working now. Camera still sucks tho.
I'm using an Onn ATV box, and I love having my bt headphones connected because I have terrible hearing,and this way others don't get blasted away by the absurdly loud volume. The problem is I can't just switch off the headphones without unpairing them altogether, and I can't turn off bluetooth without losing my ATV remote. Is there any simple device toggle app out there that would let me only disable/enable one/many device at a time granularly?
Bonus points for one with permission to display over another app so I don't even have to exit the video I'm watching to switch bt devices!!
