Bluetooth headset randomly disconnects - Desire General

Hi, noob here. I've searched both here and in MoDaCo and it seems like this happens to more people, but I haven't seen a solution so far.
I've got a Sennheiser MM200 headset paired with my Desire. It works fine, but sometimes the headset randomly disconnects. I've paired the headset before with other phones and this has never happened before, so I'm sure the problem lies in the Desire. I'm not sure, but I think that it only happens when WiFi is on; however I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the problem yet. Does this happens to anyone else? Is there a workaround or a fix for it?
Since we're at it, I can't seem to be able to stop or skip songs with the headset when using the stock music player. Spotify works fine, though. I make sure to shut down Spotify to use the music player or else the bluetooth controls default to Spotify and I can't control the audio app.

Bluetooth media audio not working anymore

I have Nokia bluetooth stereo headset BH-503.
I'm using it fine for calls but lately I cannot seem to get music audio through them. I suspect it may have happened when Tmobile sent the OTA update out (my phone was in the first batch, now on 1.15.110.11). Note - im not sure exactly when this started so may not be the update.....could be a dodgy app?
I was using spotify and the htc music player with the headset fine when I first got the Desire.
Both 'phone' and 'media' settings are ticked in the bluetooth options and obv tried disconnecting then repairing the two but still no joy.
Has anyone else noticed this? any other media bluetooth problems?
I can be listening to Spotify or HTC music player thru the phone loudspeaker and when a call comes thru the phone correctly diverts the call to the bluetooth headset then resumes music to the loud speaker once the call has finished.
It's as if the bluetooth media audio capability has been disabled!? Any help would be appreciated, it's driving my nuts!!
hmm seems to be fixed. I did one thing differently this time.....
Instead of activating bluetooth via the widget or settings>wireless&networks> bluetooth where you can check the bluetooth box to turn it on, i went into:
settings>wireless&networks> bluetooth settings and activated bluetooth from there.
When it connects to device it now says 'connected to phone and media audio' and plays fine now even when switching on via the widget.
V odd. Oh well happy chappy again

[Q] After I flashed 4.1, notification sounds are played in speaker other than headset

I used to listen to music with my bluetooth headset.
Everything just works as fine as it should when my phone is still running Android 2.3
After I flashed a 4.1 ROM, I found that:
1. When I am listening to music with my bluetooth headset, the notification sounds played on my speaker.
2. After I disconnected the bluetooth headset, the volume of notification and ringtone become really low. I nearly hear nothing when text and email are arrived.
I have searched with Google for a long time, but I found nothing that can solve my problem.
Do anyone know how I can solve these problems? For example, editing some system file, or installing some app?
Thank you very much.

[Q] cfX headphone problem

I seem to be encountering very odd behavior whenever I plug my headphones (Razer Timat 2.2) into my DHD running cfX version cfX_ace-4.2.2-20130213 (using this version as it works with GPS + Autorotate with no problems)
When I connect the audio plug my of Razer Timat 2.2 headphones, at first my device works fine, but after some time it will randomly open up google voice search or start playing music though Apollo music player while I am doing something else entirely.
However when I plug in my Razer moray+ earphones, the device behaves normally without the random apps opening.
This problem seems to keep happening with any headphones/earphones I have that except those with combined audio/microphone jack like my razer Moray+ do.
Has anyone else encountered the same or similar problem and know any workarounds or fixes?

[Q] Bluetooth headset buttons not responding

I have a Verizon G3 but figure this forum gets more eyeballs, and perhaps this is a universal Bluetooth issue.
I use the LG Tone+ HBS-730 headset with my phone. If I go into a music app and start playing music through my headphones with the app, no problem. But, let's say I pause music for a while, or turn the headphones off for a bit. I turn the headphones back on, press the play button on the right side, and nothing happens. The headset is still on - I can long-press a button and get the double-beep, but my music won't play. Sometimes it does, but most of the time, it doesn't. I switched from the stock Music player to Rocket Player, which has proven to be a little more successful.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, or is this a common BT occurrence? Control is through the AVRCP BT profile, I believe. I know on my G2 I'd sometimes lose control sync with my phone, where I couldn't skip or pause the track through my headphones. This new problem seems like a magnification of that problem.
Overall, I do find the BT performance a little worse than the G2. I get more audio drops when the phone is in my pocket, but this is when I'm outside and BT is not great outside in general.
Thanks everyone - I have five days to decide if I want to return this phone, between this and some signal problems.
bluetooth connects. calls ok. media plays on device.

I come from the philippines and i have the g3 also. my bluetooth connection was fine it connected to my car and headset but now it only receives calls but does not play music through my bluetooth headphones. when i press the play button on my headset it plays on the device itself. checked under bluetooth setting and call and media and audio was checked.
my device is rooted. i did a factory reset but the problem remains unfixed. please help. i have installed g3 tweaksbox but i dont see any mods that is related to music apps. i dont know what to do. i have considered unrooting and flashing stock rom.
Also interested in this, as I have the same issue but my car.
Op, did you ever find a fix, or work around?
OP
Do you have any other BT programs loaded? I had something similar when I had the Sony app and a Garmin app loaded. Both use BT to connect to their devices and they were interfering. I removed the Garmin one and my play/pause button started working again

Anyone having Bluetooth issues?

Like I get disconnects from my car. The phone audio won't come through ones I turn on media audio. It's a mess. Anyone experiencing this? Is there a way to clear the Bluetooth cache? I googled and see how to do it on earlier versions but not pie. Tia

@DrUnkeN_TiGeR My car only supports telephone/contacts, not audio. I had to buy a cheap BT audio receiver and now everything works fine. What is the year/make/model of your car? Was it working with your previous phone and which one was that? You can find network reset in settings to reset bt.
I had an issues popup the last few days of playing music via BT to a BT Speaker.. after I stopped playing music, the volume rocker/popup would randomly show up, I was still connected to the BT Speaker but not playing anything and quit out of Spotify. I turned off BT and it stopped. Also, when I was playing music connected to BT, I randomly quit playing through the speaker. I had to turn off BT and turn it back on to resume play. Just sharing my issues.
Before the December update, all was perfect with one exception, the audio information would not show in my car while using certain music apps. After the December patch, audio now cuts out every once in a while. Like the pixel 2xl did the entire year I had it... Google seems to have issues making their bluetooth work like it should. Hopefully the January patch will fix things (not holding my breath).
Glad to hear not just me thanks guys

This exact thing has happened to me. I think it has only occurred with Play Music but I don't know if that's the cause. Didn't occur before December update.
More details. It seems to happen when I've advanced a song but that could be coincidence. I get no audio. I have a Subaru and I can see on the even display BT disconnected. Then it starts to cycle between connected and disconnected until I just turn on BT on my phone. Even though it briefly reconnects it doesn't actually function. No audio
