Just purchased Mate 10 Pro and so far loving the hardware, but the software is letting itself down a bit, but I'm trying to cope.
My one main issue is when connected to Bluetooth audio and receiving a notification of any sort, it lowers the BT volume really low. It takes about 10 seconds for the audio to return to its normal level, whilst missing all the media playback during that time. Is there any way to remedy this?
Is there a shortcut to disable all notifications altogether during media playback (except for google maps)?
im not sure it is a bug at all. that is just the way it performs. mine does the same.

Now I came across a strange issue.
1) While playing Jewel3 (see marketplace) I noticed that during the game the sound levels slowly decrease, sometimes these at once return to the starting volume level, and slowly decrease later on. This happens in minutes, and slowly, so may go by on non attentive listeners.
2) Also I noted at another time when viewing a video fullscreen with the video player, that when the battery warning came on the volume of the notification was higher than the volume of the video playing. Afterwards the volume of the video had increased.
Has anyone else issues like these? It is hard to reproduce but it occurs regularly.
If you are playing music using Nokia music through the external speakers at full volume and get an email notification, the music keeps playing but at a much lower volume. I noticed this today and was hoping someone else noticed this bug. Can you recreate it? Thing is to get the music back to full volume I had to open a few programs and restart Nokia music. I wonder if it can be fixed or if this is related to the poor speaker volume overall.

yes, that i notice too. and if, the message volume was higher than the level set of the playing back audio, the audio will after the message audio continue at the message volume level. thus volume levels seem adjusted by messages and maybe other internal settings.
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.
Bluetooth call & media audio seem to conflict, call always work, media not so much
Hello,
I'm on the Z5 Compact (6.0.1) and using the Jabra Stealth as my headset. Automatically both Call and Media Audio are always turned on, but sometimes, only the Call Audio works. And for it to work, I need to disable the Call Audio. But this means that next time I'll connect the device, only Media Audio will be turned on, rendering my BT device useless next time I get a call.
Now, I think I found a work around with Bluetooth Auto Connect, which appears to reset the profile to Call + Media at each connection. But I still need to disable Call Audio everytime Media doesn't work.
So, questions:
What the **** is this all about? No thread seem to be able to answer that question.
Would Tasker be able to do the following: If device connects outside of incoming call, activate Media Audio Only, if else activate Call + Media?
Would there be any other app that could solve my problem?
I personally despise Tasker, I found much simpler solutions with MacroDroid. But Tasker does have potential.
I looked around and found that this problem was recurrent amongst users, despite of brand or version.
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
