(Android, Note 5) - This has been the case with multiple earpieces and bluetooth devices.
Basically pushing the media button on my earpiece when something is playing will pause it every time. If I very quickly, it will (sometimes) unpause itself. If I wait more than a few seconds, it will never unpause itself.
Any idea what is up with this?
Is there any solution within tasker to circumvent this problem?

Using the earphones that come with the SGS2, I can play and pause with the headset button fine while the screen is on, but if it's off and I pause a song and wait more than 5 seconds to resume, I have to click like 5-10 times to get the song to play again. I think it has something to do with the phone going idle and no longer receiving the controls, but it doesn't explain why the song does resume eventually if you press the button often enough.
Anyone else have this problem?
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?
Maybe this was discussed before but I'm having quite a lot of issues with bluetooth streaming music on all ICS distributions (GSM) I've tried.
Bluetooth pairing is ok most of the time, no problems with that. Double pressing the play/pause button starts the speech assistant with only a slight delay.
Issues:
- single pressing after pairing does usually not start the playback. I either have to start playback manually or enter the music app and press BT play button and it might work. Or it might work upon several presses with >500ms delay in between them
- single pressing the pause BT button while in sleep and playback only pauses some times. Other times it wakes up the phone and another press later it pauses. Other times it does not pause at all.
- same issue with resuming while playback is paused
- sometimes the playlist is not automatically advancing, I have to press BT next button to start playing the next track
I don't even know where to start with this since all of these issues are sporadic. It seems they happen much rarer while the display is on and the phone is unlocked so I assume it has something to do with sleep/deep sleep and the automatic [Android] task killer.
I'm using the stock Google music player and mostly stock ICS.
I own a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I picked up the official car dock yesterday, and I've noticed that it doesn't have an elegant method for pausing currently playing media when a disconnect is detected, like how when you unplug a headset and supported media apps will pause (e.g. Pandora or Google Music).
EDIT: Originally I was using Tasker's built-in media button functionality for pausing music, but that actually was triggering a global play/pause toggle which would toggle all apps at the same time, resulting in unwanted resumed playback from Pandora and Google Music. I managed to resolve the issue by using the Locale Headphone Button Plugin instead. With it I can issue a non-toggle pause event that only pauses tracks that are currently playing. There is absolutely no need to simulate a headset event.
I'm trying this as well, but in my car. so basically my task profile is when i have Power (any) and Bluetooth running. I plug the phone in via usb to the headunit and it auto-connects bluetooth to the unit. What i'm trying to simulate is when i turn the car off (aka....bluetooth loses connection, and in theory so does power), that any music would become paused. The simplest way is to simulate unplugging headphones since most every major music app pauses when you do that.
I downloaded Locale Headphone Button Plugin and the "Play/Pause" options works just fine in testing using the tasker in-program-test-play feature.
The issue I run into is that if I cut off the car, bluetooth dies (as it should), but as long as my USB power cord remains plugged into the phone (i.e. i haven't yet removed my phone from the glove box), the Locale Headphone Button Plugin "Play/Pause" command seems to not execute.
any ideas?
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
