is there a way that i can listen to my music thru my mono bluetooth earpiece. I am currently using a motorola h270. thanks
ive done it with my lg shine(yes a shine) dont see why not
Well I have been looking into this as I come from windows mobile I loved this feature. Since super BT mono does not work I have found a work around but its not the Best. So basically you call a number that has a long automated message like a movie theater for movie times or something else and put the phone on hold then just play music or video, I was testing it with slingbox and it worked great. However the samsung video player does not let you play when the phone is on. If someone can think of a number that gives us a long message that would be great.
So no matter what application I'm using on my Radar and how I exit the app, i.e., just pause, back all the way out, etc. the music starts playing again when I turn off my BT headset. I've tried looking through settings to no avail.

That's odd. Music should automatically stop playing when your bluetooth device is shutoff.
It should not automatically start.
Please describe every detail of what you are doing, connected to, etc. Order and timing might be important.

Starting with phone idle
Turn on Bluetooth headset
Verify it is connected in Settings
Back out and go to a streaming app (has occurred in slacker and metroradio)
Stream music for any given amount of time
Either pause music, pause and back all the way out, just back all the way out, etc.
Shut screen/put in pocket
Turn off bluetooth headset
Music starts playing from phone speaker
Bump - happened again tonight. This time I paused from the lock screen just to test. Paused -> Screen Off -> BT off -> 10 seconds later, music starts
does it happen if you shut bluetooth off before shutting screen off?
Does it happen with Zune as music player ? Also does these apps have any settings for this kind of situation.

I don't use Zune. The only setting in Slacker is if I want Radio to resume automatically when Bluetooth is connected and that is turned off. Metro has nothing.

You need the app "Stop the Music!
I had the same problem on my Lumia 800 today.. so awkward.....
I was at work and use a Logitech bluetooth docking station, playing music was fine, no problem at all.. I work a shoppingmall and while on my break I went in the another store just next to mine. A really hot girl works there and this lyrics came on highest volume:
"I'm fat, I'm Single, I'm ready to mingle"
here's a youtube link... Never been so embarrassed in my life, I managed to save my ass but only just! A fix would be superb!

I've had the same issue with the background audio from Podcasts! Pro. It doesn't do this with Zune. I'm guessing its an issue with the way the background api is being implemented.
Another thing i've noticed, when it switches to or from BT, the audio picks up from the last point before BT is connected. Example, if I'm listening to an hour long podcast, and I get 23 minutes into it before switching to BT, even when I listen to another 20 minutes of the podcast, it will revert back to the 23min point once BT is disconnected.
Same issue here
Hi,
I'm having the same issue here with a Mercedes B180 built in Handsfree and Lumia 800.
It happens with Wimp, not Spotify.
As a matter of fact music Streaming is not working at all from any app to this HF.
However: BT with my combination is ok for Contact Transfer and Phone functions so it's not a catastrophy, but....
One other thing: When turning ignition off, ongoing calls are disrupted and not returned to the handset...
Nokia Support said that this is a issue caused by them using the Microsoft BT Stack for Music Streaming while probably Mercedes is using some other (Widcomm, Toshiba...)
BTW: I've used iPhone in this scenario and it works fine with all functions.
I remember reading a while back that Google Music had added gapless playback support, but it's not working for me (either on my phone or computer, actually). All the digging I've done says if you enable the equalizer it will be fixed, but I can't figure out how to do that at all. Can anyone tell me?

It's also started playing music when it connects to my car stereo much less reliably. I used to get in and a few seconds later I was streaming music. Now, BT connects and a lot of the time it never plays a song at all, other times it will automatically take one but take as long as 5 minutes, and occasionally it will immediately start playing. What's going on here and how do I make it work the way it should?
The M7 seemed to work fine though I did not use it much. The M8 though has issues. Most of the time it says it can’t connect or that it has and then never starts playing the song. The two music apps that came with the phone, “Music” and “Play Music” do mostly the same thing. One seems to say its connected and not play anything while the other can’t connect. Sometimes it will connect and the Onkyo receiver shows HTC – Unknown Artist. Other times it will play part of a song maybe even the next song then it will stop. The dlna connection from the PC to the Onkyo receiver work as it should, music always starts right away and lists the artists and track titles.
I’ve tried restarting the phone and receiver and seems more likely to connect but never plays more than a song or two before getting stuck.
Using a OPO and when I stream music over Bluetooth, eventually, the music player, any music player, apollo, jetaudio, orpheus all freeze up when a track changes at some random point and the whole app hangs and locks up the phone as well.
Eventually the phone kills the app and restarts it but by then I've already run over several pedestrians and driven my car into a ditch trying to figure out why my music stopped.
This has happened on both my sony soundbar and pioneer car reciever. As such I can safely say its not relegated to one Bluetooth enabled player.
I use to use a Kinivo BTC450 and never had this issue for a long while on Android 4, but after the switch to 5 the issue popped up on my sound bar and when i put the pioneer in my car it showed up there as well.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
===NOTE===
Stock OPO 64
Never Rooted or modified
Syncs 30+ gigs of music
factory reset once since purchased, that was last month. Problem was happening before that. Factory reset did nothing.
(I am posting this because I searched for a while and found nothing related)
SOLUTION FOUND
So after a lot of trial and error, Android does not play nice with .wma files and .m4a files even though the media player is advertised to be compatible with it.
So onto the solution, batch transcoded every wma and m4a file to mp3. Easy CD.DA Extractor had a lovely little feature that made this a hassle free jaunt. It can replace any song converted, with its converted version and delete the old one, so i didnt need to manually replace every song maually. And a quick find and replace function, looking for wma and replacing with mp3 saved me from having to redo all my playlists.
Happy day
