I was playing around with Plantronics stereo BT headset, and the MBW-150 caller id watch. For some reason or another the reception on the stereo headset came and went intermittently. Ever since the speaker on the phone will not play music (it will ring however). I've gone through the profiles, audio settings etc, but I cannot identify the reason for the sound disappearing. I've turned the phone off and on. Time for a soft reset?

I just experienced a bug. I got in mij car, enabled bluetooth and stared the enging. I could hear the touch cruise connect to the parrot bluetooth carkit (usually it beeps twice, now it beeped 4-5 times).
I fired up my TomTom, instructions were given over the speakers of my car stereo (via carkit)!! I did some testing with other audio files, all worked over speakers.
Quality wasn''t sufficient for audio, but e-books and podcasts sounded good enough.
After a few minutes of playing arround I received a call, after hanging up the call the usual way on the carkit shut down the possibility to hear audio over the car speakers.
Anybody know a way to force audio over the car speakers through the handsfree??
Try this tool:
it sends all the audio signals to the headset (or BT Carkit)
Would it be possible to switch bluetooth audio on just when there is a sound to play, cause it seems a little bit useless to hear nothing when my navigation has nothing to say..
Hallo,
what can I do to have the following behaviour:
I need to hear an arriving phone call on the mobile device even if I have connectet it to a Headphone (bluetooth or cable). (I often carry the activated bluetooth headphone in my bag but than I don't hear anny call because its only ringing in my headphone)
can anybody help me?
Several options. The easiest is when you put your BT headphone in your bag, turn it off. Saves your headphone battery, too.
The 2nd option is to disable A2DP on the phone. There are several apps out there that make this easier than going into Settings. I use a Today screen plug-in called A2DP Toggle, www.teksoftco.com, free. But the version I have is buggy.
The 3rd option is to disable BT on the phone, again there are tools out there that make this easier. A2DP Toggle can be set to also disable BT when you turn off A2DP.
I have never heard of a tool that lets you direct specific notifications to the various outputs but it makes perfect sense. There should be lots of options that we just aren't given in WM, like keeping the phone from turning off the backlight during a phone call.

The problem on this way is, that it takes some time to turn the BT headphone on. So I sometimes lost a call, because I was to slowly...
My BT Headphone has a standby Time from more less 5 days! - so battery is no problem.
The way to disable A2DP brings that I can't use e.g. Voice Command over BT Headphone, isn't it?
So maybe there is no solution for my problem?
(The Athena cant "talk" quit... so I need the Headphone, when I get Calls - I don't like that everybody how is around me hear what the "caller" tells me...)
Over the weekend I had headphones plugged into my phone with music streaming (via TCPMP) and a call came in. It switched the audio over to the external speakers, then paused it, and played the ring tone over the external speakers.
Just what you wanted, right? I'm using the AP4 ROM, don't know if that is the difference or just using TCPMP.
Just had to share a surprising and accidental solution that occured. I have a TMOUS HD2 with the 3.14 ROM update and CHT 2.0.
I recently purchased a Monster ClarityHD bluetooth speaker so I could wirelessly stream music from my phone. After pairing it, the streaming and sound were quite impressive. After I turned off the speaker I noticed that the phone detected it but only as a headset and not stereo audio (as indicated by the icon on top, i.e., headset with bluetooth logo vs. headphones with music note). I had to go into the Comm Manager everytime to update the pairing so the A2DP would turn on.
I searched all over (including here) for an A2DP switch/toggle app but never found one that worked fo me. After talking to both T-Mobile and HTC tech support to no avail, I happened to reset my phone while it was paired with A2DP on, the bluettoh speaker speaker was on, and bluetooth discoverable was on (bluetooth logo with eye on top). After it rebooted it found the speaker and turned on stereo audio automatically.
I can't explain it but it's exactly what I was looking for it to do. If you try this I hope it works for you too.
i found a bug in .73;
sometimes if i listen to music with standard no mic stereo headphones (Sennheiser MX160), once i disconnect headphones and try to make a call the audio signal is not switched to the phone's speaker. so the call is mute, the other end can hear me but i can't hear the other end, if i connect the headphones and disconnect again the audio signal get routed correctly.
this doesn't happen if i connect, instead of Sehheiser headphones, the standard sony headphones or my "DIY" car stereo adapter...
I think it's an hardware bug, something looking for the impedence connected
I did notice an issue that's only occurred once, where audio wouldn't swap between headphones and speaker. I was watching a movie trailer at home on the loud speaker, then put my headset (aJays One+ with mic) in to listen to some music whilst on the move and it just didn't acknowledge the headphones. It took several restarts before the phone would correctly detect the headset and switch between the two. This was also on the .73 firmware.

I recently installed an Alpine CDE-HD137BT stereo in my car, which has quite a bit of bluetooth functionality. However, I do have quite a few issues connecting my Razr's BT with the Alpine.
-Sometimes the BT icon on the stereo will light up, and the BT icon on the RAZR will turn blue, indicating that they are paired. However, even though they showing as being paired and connected, it occassionally won't play any audio through the stereo (in fact, the audio will play through the RAZR's speaker). This some times happens with CALLS as well.
-Sometimes the two devices will connect fine, which then automatically causes my phone to start playing music from whatever music app was being used last; the music will play fine through the car stereo's speakers for maybe 20 seconds, followed by a shrill, loud, high frequency tone that only goes away by switching the source or by turning the radio off/on (by turning the car off/on).
-Sometimes the phone will pair perfectly to the stereo, and I make a call before listening to any music. The call is executed beautifully, but then following the call, audio will not stream through the stereo, nor will any subsequent calls work via bluetooth.
-(known problem) the specific Pandora fucntions on the stereo do not seem to work with this device.
Anyone else have the above issues? If so, what did you do to remedy them?
Thanks in advance!
never had those problems before but I now how pissy bluetooth between phones and radios can be, I had a pioneer AVIC D-3 with the BTB-200 bluetooth module. When I first got it I had to manually pair it each time and the problem was that when setting up the pairing I had to have the radio discover the phone instead of the phone discovering the radio or vice versa I can't remember but that solved almost all of the problems I had then, every once in a blue moon my current radio doesn't auto pair, but its not a huge deal as this one doesn't do A2DP audio streaming it only does the Hand Free Profile and text message alerts.
