ok, this has been plaguing me and preventing me from switching permanently to 2.2 since the camera has been fixed.
the problem:
you pair your bluetooth device and connect. media works fine. then disconnect and turn off bluetooth and the bt device. turn everything back on, and media won't play through the bluetooth device.
the cause:
well, i have been using the same jabra sp700 for a few years now. worked great on all my devices (iphone 2g, iphone 3g, dream, various nokias and my x10 up to 2.1). well, apparently 2.2+ android requires a bluetooth device that supports avrcp or the avrcp handling of 2.2+ roms require avrcp to work on the bluetooth device. however, my sp700 (and i would imagine other older bt devices) either do not have this or it doesn't work as android wants it to.
the solution (tested multiple times, works sometimes, not others):
pair and connect, go into settings and disable "phone audio" for the bluetooth device.
kind of sucks since this is my car speaker phone, but i use it for media more than i use it for phone. but i have connected/disconnected several times and media is still playing through the bt and not the phone speaker.
so those who have bt media problems with 2.2+ roms, try this, it may work for you.
will this fix the problem? http://www.foogod.com/android/ ?
it is the same with MW600 headset on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 0.54 ROM.
what happens for me:
both devices were paired in the past and remember each other. I turn on BT on the phone and power on the headset. press play in the music player - nothing plays, it hangs and come back to paused state.
when I press play for second time music comes from headphone speaker.
what helps:
stop the playback at this point. turn the headset off and on again. press play and the music should play through it. with both music headset and phone audio profiles active.
this is how I have to do it every single time. headset works normaly afterwards until you turn the BT off on the phone again. it's just a little inconvenience.
what troubles me more are the short gaps in the playback you get about every minute and when you turn the screen off.

does not work
what about the method I wrote about? I think it is the same problem.
power off/on your headset again when the music starts playing from the headphone speaker used normally for calls. every single time this happens it fixes this for me.

that was working on and off for me. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
i made some modifications to the bluetooth audio.conf, will test those on my way home tonight.
no problems here with my bluetooth and i'm using wolfbreaks' 2.2 rom. i'm using a sony dr-bt50 headphones.
I've been having this problem with my headset too (hbh is800) and I'll try once I get back from home. Hopefully it works. I've tried the foogod link before and it never helped. I've been experiencing the bluetooth problem with my watch too (mbw 150) it connects and later it disconnects. and the cycle keeps repeating.
I have the same problem with dante-fu. I use Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v0.54 ROM and MW600 headset. But turn on/off headset doesn`t help me sometimes and I have to re-pair devices.
I'm too having some problems with my mw600 head set.
Sometimes it does not play through the Bluetooth headset but through the speaker of the phone (it happens rarely)
But the most annoying thing is after a call, my headset just freezes & nothing works expect for the power button. Only solution is to turn the device of & turning on it again.
Using Wolf's 2.2 CM ROM
well, this sucks, i've tried changing all the media configs and nothing.
only solution i can think of is porting the bluetooth stack from 2.1 to 2.2.
back to 2.1 since my bt speaker is the only option for music in my car since my kid decided to deposit $.42 into my cd player.
Blutooth Media streaming problem
Hello,
Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue?
It's starting to drive me crazy. Bluetooth phone calls work perfectly but media streaming works intermittently.
Is there an easy way to replace downgrade the blutooth stack?
I am running CM 6.13
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?
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.
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.
Does anyone noticed that the AI makes phone to act unexpected?
For example my bt earbuds, speaker gets connected/disconnected for no reason sometimes .. for example I go to smoke at work, bt speaker stays at workplace, coming back, connecting my phone to speaker, starting to work and suddenly after some time music just stops. I see I'm connected to a speaker in Bluetooth settings, but once I start music again, music is playing thru the phone speaker instead. And I have to reconnect to a speaker again.. and it continues like that till I reboot my phone..
If I plug in fabric earphones which comes with phone, sometimes automatically music is started, sometimes after couple minutes, sometimes never.
Call recording apps/and overall all apps are killed without a reason even excluded from all battery optimations/savers.
Also never knew that I have so many different songs after trying different music player, have anyone noticed that also?
In my case I have about 200 songs in my library, but with default music player, it seemed that I have like 20songs only.. always listening on shuffle mode.
