[Q] headset not working with razr maxx? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi everyone,
I've been using cm on my razr for a few months. The problem has not shown up until recently, when i moved into cm10.1 by hashcode and his friends about 10 days ago.
Basically, i found my wired headset not working any more. It's a pair of stereo earphones with a microphone on it. I'm sure it works with several different devices (so it's compatible) including other moto cellphones and ipad, and also with my razr when it was running on cm10. But after upgrading things go weird: when i plug it in the phone jack, no notification appears, which should act like older cm10 telling me i'm using a wired headset. And, of course, sounds don't go into the headset, but still the phone's speaker.
I've tried searching the web, and googled a post (but i forgot the keywords so i couldn't find it anymore....); in the post the guy said his samsung, too, doesn't work with headset, and when he put the volume to the highest, he can hear some scraches in the headset. I followed his idea, but installed an app at first, which re-routes the sound into headset manually. Then, the speaker became silence as expected, but i could only find "scraches in the headset" as that guy did in his post. And i can hear large clicks & pops when plugging the earphone into & out of the jack.
Does anyone have some ideas on it? seems no previous discussion i cound find.... Thanks in advance.
ps. none of the previously working apps works, including skype, some media players, the integrated music player apollo too. The phone calls can be heard using Bluetooth headset, but no again with Wired headset.

[Q] Headset not recognized in CM7 based ROMS?

I noticed in CM7 and more recently HACK3DAO5P ROMS, when I install PowerAmp and plug in my headset, two things happen:
1. The device only recognizes that it's headphones, not a headset with a mic for making calls
2. I can't skip tracks and control the music app with the inline button on the mic. The settings in PowerAmp are set for using the headset control, and it's set to prioritize headset control usage. No other music app will respond, either.
Is there something I'm missing?
Apologies ahead of time if mentioned elsewhere, I searched for almost an hour with many combinations in my search terms.

bluetooth stereo headset, correct? i have a motorola one like that and I havent tried making calls on it lately (it did work at least a few versions ago of cm7), but it works okay for music. I haven't tried the buttons on it yet, since I normally just use the volume buttons to switch tracks, but I'll see if they work. I would try searching the thread for CM7 here and rootzwiki for bluetooth as well.
Thanks for the reply. I'm using a regular plug-in headset, SkullCandy 50/50s at the moment. I have many different pairs I use, and when plugged in they don't register as having a mic. Sucks because I tend to listen to music and use the headset while I'm out an about. Also, these ROMs have the best battery life, so I tend to use them more often.
I checked the CM7 threads, I'll try again and rootzwiki also..

Bluetooth headset connects but can't stream audio

My Motorola H17 pairs and connects to my TP but there's no sound when playing music or audio. It works fine with my Optimus V phone using the BT-Mono app to redirect the sound out to the headset. I've tried BT-Mono which appears to function correctly (no errors etc), but when I switch it over no audio through the H17 although the tablet speaker is muted as it should be.
Is there something else I need to do on the Prime to switch the sound over, is it an incompatibility issue with this headset, or is there another app that would work? I've searched a bit and apparently others with BT headsets get them working with TP, but also found very little on the subject. Perhaps it's the lack of phone functionality with some headsets? I'd try another brand/model if I was sure it would work.
Thanks for any help.
Get audio manager from the market, there is both pay and free, pay attention to incall volume. It worked for me, seems incall volume is defaulted to zero at least in my case.

[Q] Anyone have or resolved any issues with Bluetooth headsets and ATP?

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!
Bluetooth headset connects but can't stream audio
[Q] Bluetooth not working (not bad connection, it connects just doesnt do anything)?
Bluetooth Disappointment
Bluetooth headset and Transformer Prime (ICS)
inline mic or bt headset
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:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stere...WK5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330989035&sr=8-1
However if you want a bluetooth that is easy to use while driving I would suggest the:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Black..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1330989270&sr=1-2
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??

Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth Speaker Problem - No Output

Hello All,
I have just purchased the Jawbone Jambox. Very nice bit of kit and the sound is great.
When I pair with my laptop, it works no problem outputting the sound from Spotify or Movies etc.
When I try and play music from my handset, it just comes out the handsets speakers even though it is paired. The same for games and video.
I have an HTC Desire with Cyanogen 7 installed.
The Jambox has a built in mic and works fine when paired as a hands free setup. I hear the phone ringing from the speakers so that proves it is working.
The Question????????????
I have done a bit of reading and have found some posts talking about on the iPhone, you can set what the phone outputs the sound to. ie. The Jambox rather than the builtin speaker.
I have not been able to find anything like that for the ROM I am using or even mention of it for other Android handsets.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Am I stuck with plugging it in or will another ROM solve the issue.
Thanks for your help in advance.....
Have you tried looking under the settings of the Jawbone Jambox? It should be located under the Bluetooth settings, then options of the Jambox. There should be two types of audio that can be directed. One is Phone audio, and the other is Media audio. Make sure the Media audio box is checked. I own one myself and have had no issues connecting. If all else fails, you might have to try another ROM.
Good luck.

Problem answering calls with headphone plugged in

Hello,
I've had Mate 2 for about 6 months. I've had 5 other android phones and feel pretty comfortable with rooting, flashing roms, recoveries and ADB.
When I first purchased the Mate 2 I tried the stock 5.1 EMUI on the Mate2, but I could stand the setup after using CM 12 and 13 on past devices. We use Mightytext for text messaging in our office and for some reason it did not like the stock EMUI messaging app and would not work with a 3rd party app like Textra.
When I tried CM 12 and 13, everything seems to work, particularly Mightytext, except if I'm listening to music or an audiobook with headphones (with and without an integrated Mic.) When someone calls with the headphones in and I remove them and then answer the call, I can't hear the other person and they cannot hear me, but the call definitely connects. If I'm in the car and connected via bluetooth and listening to music, it is not a problem.
Another issue for me is the external speaker does not work with an alarm if the head phones are plugged in. I use Alarm Clock Xtreme which has a setting to play to the speaker even if head phones are plugged in, but that does not work on the Mate 2 (with stock or custom roms.)
While normally not insurmountable, both these issues are enough to really frustrate me. Any ideas? I flashed back to EMUI 5.1 and the headphones and mic work fine so I don't think it is a hardware issue.
Thanks for any help!

While I don't have any answers or ideas, I think I have the same problem as you on the latest CM13.0 snapshot. No audio on calls when headphone jack (I have a small headphone jack button) plugged in. In CM12.1 it was working fine for me though and was possible to use an app called HF Button Widget to change the audio routing to the phone's speaker (while keeping button plugged into headphone jack). Maybe the phone acts like it is hitting mute or silences the audio when the jack is plugged or unplugged? I've had to remove my button and keep my headphone jack empty as a workaround until this is solved or a newer version solves it. Also another workaround might be bluetooth headphones I haven't tried that yet.
