I've been snooping around here for awhile and I have somewhat of a unique situation.
I ride a motorcycle, with an Autocom system installed. It's hooked up to the phone through the headset jack.
I use it to listen to music as well as to take phone calls on the go, so I'm looking for some sort of remote, prefereably wireless (bt i guess). Something that i can change tracks or accept a call with without taking more than a quick button flip.
My first idea was a 2.5mm lead with the same button as the headset, but that won't allow for music control, which is cool.
Right now I just select my tracks and put the phone on auto answer, but I bet I can do better.
I was looking in that autocom system for my bike. That was actually what stopped me from getting it. Almost all bluetooth hands-free devices have a control button, but theirs does not.
How does the speed sensitive volume work? That was what I was really interested in.
I recently purchased some Nokia BH-505 bluetooth headphones. I like them and I primarily use Pandora to listen to music. I'm having a periodic issue where the headphones sort of disconnect and quit playing music. This only happens when I choose to turn the screen off. If I keep the screen on, I never have any disconnect issue. Pandora is happily still streaming music though, and if I power off the headphones, the phone/pandora realizes that it's no longer connected and starts playing through the speaker of the phone (that's why I say "sort of" disconnecting). If I power the headphones on again, they connect, pandora pauses, then I can resume play and then a short time after the condition happens again (if I turn the screen off). I imagine it's some sort of memory related thing because it seems if I make sure I have no programs running in the background things seem to work as desired. I haven't found any sort of setting to tweak, and neither Pandora or any bluetooth like program is in an autoclose list.
Anyone have any ideas on any workarounds to this issue?
Hello all,
I am having a problem getting the phone part of my new DNA to work with blue-tooth in my car. The A2DP works great but after I answer or make a phone call with my Car Stereo (eclipse 3200) I cant hear anything and they cant hear me. If I use the dial-pad on the phone to make a call I hear the tones from the button pushes but nothing after the call is connected.
Thanks for any help or suggestions

I have a Sony bluetooth player in my car and it will not even recognize the device.
Edit: It was a user error on my part. I have successfully paired and it works flawless.

My car recognizes and pairs with the DNA, but it will only play the first 1-2 seconds of music, then the radio stops receiving any audio. Sometimes it works properly and will play songs completely, but the majority of the time, it will cut out. I can pause and unpause it, and I'll get 1-2 seconds of music, then it stops again.
Also, any high pitched sounds (ie. cymbals, percussion, etc.) are very distorted. I had this same issue on the Thunderbolt The Galaxy Nexus I had for the past year had no issues and sounded perfect over bluetooth.
I am disappoint.

I think the phone just has bluetooth problems in general, or BT4 is just not 100% backwards compatible. I have a Pioneer stereo, and never had any problems with any of my android devices (OG Droid, Droid X, inc2 and gNex) connecting, but when I connect my DNA, it actually crashes the phone process on the handset and it restarts (the process, not the handset). It still appears to be connected to the stereo after that, but I haven't tried making a call yet.
Stereo doesn't support BT streaming, so I can't test that. Has an SD slot, and that's all I ever use.
I'm having the same problem. My music will play for about 3 seconds, then goes silent. The car says I'm still connected, Google Music is still playing, but it mutes out. Was having fun while driving hitting the pause/play button to listen to a song 3 seconds at a time. Does anyone know if this is a OS problem, hardware problem or incompatibility, or other problem? I didn't see many posts about this elsewhere and haven't heard back from Verizon.

Working fine for me with my Kenwood. Music does skip occasionally, but my other phones (galaxy nexus, thunderbolt) have done that too.

For all of us who suffer a HTC Toyota combo and the dreaded bluetooth pause issue I believe I have found the issue and got a working solution !
From what I gather, the HTC music player sets the bluetooth player state to pause when leaving the music player and most other apps do not set it back to streaming. I found one which does, so a simple solution !
1. Start and stop a piece of music with the Fplay music player and it will reset the bluetooth player state to streaming. I put a widget on the home screen.
2. Start your other apps and enjoy streaming sound again.
3. Enjoy

I have a Verizon s4 running 4.3 (all ota updates, nothing custom), my bluetooth connectivity seems to have suddenly gone...awry. When I connect any bluetooth headset (I have tried with multiple) the phone will register it connecting to phone and media controls. I have it set to automatically start music playback when this occurs, and while this worked before, it spontaneously changed. Instead of playing through the headset, music now plays through the earpiece speaker and the volume buttons control phone audio rather than media (note, audio will still be transmitted out through a jack, but again the buttons will not control media volume). The headsets themselves are fully functional as they still control call functions and voice search, but no longer toggle audio, let alone control playback. This effect continues even after the headset disconnects until the phone is rebooted.
The only thing I can think of having caused this is that I recently downloaded the pebble companion app (I wanted to test it out to see what its like before I decided to buy the thing or not), and the issue started after that. I uninstalled the app and rebooted/removed battery, but still the same issue. Is there any way to fix this other than a full system reboot? I'd really rather avoid that if I can help it.
I appreciate any feedback on this issue, thanks in advance!
I have exactly the same problem, I thought I was crazy or did something stupid! I thought it had to do with my root modifications until I completely wiped it out with an odin restore and redid only the root and SuperSU and it still had the issue. I used to have it stream bluetooth audio to my car and for some reason it once I started playing music and I thought it was really quiet even for my phone speaker until I noticed it coming out of the earpiece as well. I've run out of ideas as far as fixing it at this point though I'm still trying things.
i've been having issues with my Mate 10 Pro, in combination with both my Bose QC30 and my Bose SoundSport. i heard from someone else who has the same problem, but with a set of Jaybird X3's.
I don't think the problem comes from the QC30 or SoundSport, as they work fine with my pc (desktop pc with bluetooth dongle)
Issue 1:
I pause my music, with the headset, use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my phone and use some app. I close the app, press the power button to turn off the display and press play again on my headset. Music will play for x seconds, mostly about 5 seconds or so and then stops.
Sometimes it will start playing again after some time, but when i unlock the screen with the fingerprint scanner, it start playing immediately
Remedy (most of the time) is switching headset off and on.
Issue 2:
Listening to music through bluetooth, suddenly sound switches to the speaker on my phone. In the status bar, it shows bluetooth is still connected and it actually is, as the controls on the headset still function. But somehow the media output has switched to speaker.
Remedy is same as issue 1.
Both issues happen occasionally, sometimes don't have them for an entire week, so it's pretty hard to reproduce.
I have tried:
-reinstalled Spotify
-unpairing the headset
-deinstall Bose+ app and pair headset manually
I'm using Spotify to listen to music, Spotify has been set to manual battery management, so has the Bose+ app.
Only other thing i could do is a factory reset, but i can't imagine that will fix the problem.
Anyone else experience any of these issues?
Remedy?
I wonder if the 8.1 update (when and if they release it) would solve these issues
