Is anyone facing issues getting sound to play from their bluetooth headset when paired with the Asus Transformer Prime? Have you been able to resolve it? I have been able to pair it without a problem but the sound doesn't stream. I'm on TW_9.4.2.15
So far, I've seen a few threads but no answers that have been confirmed. Any thoughts? Also, confirmation that this problem still exists would be helpful, thanks!

I am now on Virtuous Prime, but also had this working previously on stock .15. I have Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones working. I have also gotten music audio to stream to my Plantronics m155, so it does work, but can be a little fiddly.
Process that works for me is as follows (and I know there is no particular reason for any of this, but it is what works so I do it this way).
1. Start Google Music, hit play so music starts, then pause the music.
2. Turn on the headphones and let them pair to Bluetooth.
3. Settings->Bluetooth, go to the headphones and and make sure you have both the Phone Audio and Media audio profiles checked (this is where MOST times the issue is on my TFP)
4. Press play on your headphones.
Again, no rhyme or reason why, but it does work for me this way.
Cheers,
Peter
I have the Samsung HS3500 and HS3000 and both work fine for streaming audio out of the Prime.
In general I just have to turn on the Prime's bluetooth, then turn on the headset I want to use (they look for connections when turned on, so if the tablet's bluetooth isn't already on they won't connect) and it connects after a few seconds and works perfectly.
I don't know if I am just getting lucky with the Prime's bluetooth but I haven't had any problems streaming content from the internet such as Netflix and listening to it with my bluetooth headsets.
If you are looking to just listen to music and video on your Prime you could give the HS300 a try, it isn't expensive:

However if you want a bluetooth that is easy to use while driving I would suggest the:

Both can be used to listen through headphones (the 3500 requires you to use the included headphones, or listen through the included adapter). The HS3000 can also be used for calls, since there is a mic next to where the headphone plugs in, however the 3500 is easier to use while driving.
Thanks for the suggestions! pbrauer I tried your workaround, and it didn't work out, but I learned something... I have no media audio profile, only the phone profile. I have been doing more research on the matter and it looks like it could be incompatibility between mono earpiece/headsets and android in general.
My headset is an i.Tech Clip II mini 606 mono headset, and it doesn't appear to have a2dp technology. Looking at what's posted on other android forums unrelated to the Transformer Prime, some have tried software such as BTmono and SuperMonoFroyo to reroute the audio feed. Unfortunately, no dice... I'll keep researching to see if I can find any solution - if I find a solution elsewhere, I'll make sure to post back here so it can help others.
Almightywhacko, I'm going to try and struggle with this for a bit longer since I just got out of university and would prefer to stay away from getting further in debt, at least until I get a job. But once I get a job, and if this issue persists, I might go for one of those, thanks!
I have Transformer TF300T and I have problems with my two stereo bluetooth headsets (Dell and Jabra). Headphones pair with no problems, but then there is no sound. Sometimes reset (turning off/on) helps, I also tried to hard reset the tablet - this helped too, but only temporarily. After some time of listening, sound disappears. And these are my BT headsets that I use all the time with my mobile phone, without any problems.
I have also noticed, that when there is a problem with a Bluetooth headset sound, and I try to display film (using MX Player), film stops for a while every one second. It looks like there is a heavy process in the background, that makes the film perform bad. When I turn off the Bluetooth (or I have a luck, and there IS sound in my BT headset), film is displayed perfectly well.
TF300T has Bluetooth 3.0 on board, my headsets are BT 2.x. Could this be a problem? (o.k., I do know, that BT 3.0 is compatible with 2.x, but still, this is life, and who knows ?)

SO GLAD to hear I'm not the only one with this problem! To date the best answer anyone can give me is: "not all brands of Bluetooth Headsets work on the Transformer Prime"- what???
My Jawbone Icon didn't work & I had it a year before I bought the TP. Somehow I lost the Icon so I bought the newer Jawbone Era, and it doesn't work either. It pairs just fine & I can hear sound but when using Google Voice /Talk, I can't speak into the BT mid and be heard.
Really sucks! My 2 year old Droid 2 phone has no problem with either BT headset. Very frustrating not to know why they don't work??
Hi,
I've the Prime with 9.4.2.21.
Two days I got a bluetooth speaker (creative d3x) which works pretty fine with the prime. The pairing works fine and the playback as well. But after a few app switches (for example spotify, to youtube, to vimeo app or something like this) Audio stops playing via Bluetooth. If I reconnect again successfully I don't get any sound to the speaker...bluetooth speaker and internal speaker stay silent, although I've the volume turned up. If I connect then with my nexus to the speaker everything it's fine - so it must be an issue with the prime.
Is this any common issue which might get fixed with the upcoming issue? It's really annoying since even turning bluetooth off and on or re-pairing doesn't help. I always have to reboot the prime to get bluetooth audio output working again.

Droid RAZR Maxx, stock ROM, rooted.
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.
Hi there,
I like to stream music through my headphone jack to my car when I'm driving, but still use my bluetooth headset. So I've setup the bluetooth settings to disable media through bluetooth but to allow phone. Problem is, every time my bluetooth reconnects to my phone, it resets those settings and it starts streaming music through my headset...
Is anyone else having these issues? Is there a solution?
Thanks
I've noticed the exact same behavior; would it be considered a bug? If so, does HTC have an avenue to receive bug reports?
On other Android phones I have/had, when you disable a particular Bluetooth profile for a device, it seems to remember that upon reconnection.
Get "Bluetooth auto connect " on play store. By Jacob Klos. GREAT APP!!! Used 2+years. Sets profiles and more. Also has tasker plugin and frequent updates. Free app
Hope this helps. Hit thanks if you wish. Cheers

Anyone experience this? connected to the car bluetooth, but when i off the infotaintment and stop the car, the music continue playing using the phone speaker. H'mmm not a bit issue but very troublesome to stop what is playing every time
I read in a review that there's a setting you can change which lets you have music continue playing after removing headphones or have it automatically pause, I believe this setting will also affect bluetooth audio as well, perhaps this will help? I can't say if it is this though, I haven't got mine yet but it will be good for me to know too as I connect my phone to my car's stereo via bluetooth and will do the same with the Z2.
