This is doing my head in, it happens with Both the Jabra BT3030 and the SE MW 600.
When playing music all of a sudden the music starts to judder then stops completely. I will switch of the Bluetooth device and the phone and then start both again and 9 times out of 10 it won't work, then randomly it will. I have tried different music players (Poweramp, the stock one) and still the same. I have A2DP Volume installed and disabled that and other combinations and nothing works, yet I can still receive calls through the BT even when I have no music.
Any ideas what's going on and more importantly a solution would be apprecaited

Well I've got the Omnia 7 and love it, although I do have an issue with it regarding the use of bluetooth headphones.
Anybody else experienced issues with the handset not sending the sound to the headset when switching from movies to music and back again.
I can get the phone to pair with my headphones almost instantly (A big improvement from my blackstone) and if I listen to music straight away the music streams perfectly. If I then goto watch a movie, I get zero sound. I go back to the music and press play ... nothing again. Even with bluetooth off.
I have to restart the phone in order to properly re-establish the connection to hear sounds over the headset.
It appears to me that due to the fact that you can't properly exit out of zune, whatever your doing gets paused and "keeps" the link for itself.
SO my question is - Has anyone else come across this and how do you properly exit from zune?
I have the same thing on my HTC 7 Trophy. Music plays just fine on the headset, but video is always played over the handsets speaker. Switching back to music seems to work fine for me though.
Anyone know why this is? Is this a shortcoming of the first release of these phones or is there a setting we forgot to tweak?
also, if you headset/headphones have a play/pause button, the music can play at the same time as the video, kinda weird sometimes

Thats a little different from what is happening to me. As I stated in my thread I have no sound through bluetooth for video files at all. After trying to watch a video I can go back to music and it will play through my bluetooth headphones just fine. Video sound comes out of the main speakers always.
Is anyone having problems with their bluetooth locking up? I am getting various issues that all seem to be related to the bluetooth. I routinely connect to a Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth speakerphone in my car and stream music, mostly Pandora but sometimes google music or other players.
This morning I turned on the speakerphone and immediately watchdog told me that bluetoothd and pandora services were both stuck at 40% each. I hadn't even launched pandora since the last reboot. Had to restart the phone.
Other times I will go to turn on the speakerphone and it will not connect. I try to turn bluetooth on and off. It shuts off fine but hangs turning on. Usually about 30 seconds later the entire phone becomes unresponsive and I have to restart it by holding power. Putting it in and out of flight mode does the same thing.
Still other times I will shut the speakerphone off or walk out of range and the bluetooth icon on the phone continues to show connected. Sound may or may not come out of the phone and the volume control says bluetooth audio. Again restarting bluetooth locks up the phone and requires a restart.
Lastly sometimes bluetoothd and/or pandora will randomly go haywire and hang with high CPU utilization.
Anybody else seeing any or all of these symptoms or have any ideas. I am rooted and have the 2.3.6 update. Pretty sure the problems were occuring before the update, not sure about before the root.
Thanks...
Yes I am having similar problems when using bluetooth to connect to my home based panasonic DECT phone system. A reboot of the phone does repair the issue. It seems to occur every 24-72 hours, if the phone is not rebooted. My blackberry connects via bluetooth to the same panasonic phone system without issue. I suppose it could be a problem between multiple bluetooth devices. I suspect it is a SW bug though, because a simple reboot has always resolved the problem for me.
Do you have pandora installed? I uninstalled it yesterday and haven't had the problem yet. Did plenty of streaming with Google Music.
One thing I forgot to add. When the device says that is connected and sending out audio over the bluetooth, such as music, but it is really not, I get a moment of audio out of the built in speakers before it turns off.

Yes....we do have pandora installed...and now that you mention it; I believe it is quite possible that we only have the problem when we run pandora after a reboot. Because for the past few days there has been no issue. And I believe during this time I have not been using pandora. If it is Pandora...hopefully a future pandora bug fix will repair the issue.
Since I uninstalled Pandora I have not had a single lockup in almost two weeks. I guess I'll message Pandora and see if they'll fix it.
Edit - Looks like they may have fixed it. Crossing fingers.

Really annoyed at myself for taking the upgrade to 4.3 as now I have an issue with bluetooth that I cannot figure out. Bluetooth audio to my reciever was perfect before but now it has the same problem no matter what app i use (tune in, xiilive, standard media player etc)
Basically the phone sends the audio but the speed varies. Like a song will play normal speed, then maybe speed up for a second, then the audio cuts out for half a second and its back to normal again. This will stream fine for maybe 5 seconds and again, any audio will speed up a bit, and cut out. Its only happened since 4.3. Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?
Well a bit of an update on this. It turns out it doesnt skip with music thats on the phone. So the stock media player and mp3s etc stream totally fine. Its just with audio that is streamed via apps like winamp, Xiilive, Tune in. They all have exactly the same problem as described above. However, the only way I can get it to stop skipping and run normally is if the screen is on and I am in the Wifi networks setting page. Its fine then, until the screen goes off, then it starts to skip again. This is so annoying now. Is it an android issue? Not connected to bluetooth through normal headphones or the Note 2 speaker, all these apps are perfect.
My Sony Smartwatch 3 pairs with bluetooth devices without problems. I've got a Sony Ericsson BT headset (MW600) that it connects to. When I play songs from google Play Music the title of the song appears in the display on the headphones, and everything looks alright. Nothing is muted. But there is no sound, at all. Just silence. The song is playing (says both the watch and the headset) and the volume is cranked up. But nothing. I've tried pairing the watch with my Bose bluetooth speaker, and the same thing happens... Any ideas?
Happens to me sometimes. Usually rebooting the watch fixes it.

.. When it happens on mine I pause and then resume and it starts working
I am having the same issue. I can connect no problem but I just can't hear anything. I have tried rebooting the watch and when I select google play it asks me if I want to play it on the phone or the device, I select device and click play but nothing happens. I have also tried to pause then play again and still no luck. Does anyone have any other suggestions? TIA
Fix for Sony Smart watch 3 not playing music a cross bluetooth
Hi. I had the exact same problem. I finally sorted it out, even went jogging without my phone and had music playing over my bluetooth headsets.
Your needing to convert the songs to .mp3 and re upload and sync the songs. You'll most likely need to remove all songs of the watch and then re select the songs you want on, making sure those are the converted .mp3 songs.
Hi all
Since Android 11 update my bluetooth sound stops every 15 minutes For example I watch long youtube movie and on exactly 15min point sound stops in my headset and continues on device. Headset is still connected to the bluetooth and if I simply pause/unpause video, sond continues through headset next 15min then everything repeats. If I watch playlist of short videos the 15min barier issue does not appear, only if one movie is longer than 15 minutes. The same thing happens when I listen to audio books on any appication and independant if screen is active or not. I tried a few different headsets, the same issue happens. Also tried bluetooth speaker, the same. I did factory reset, didnt help. Spotify also limited to 15 min. H
How to fix it?
It's most likely kernel related problem.
Try flashing custom kernel if your phone is rooted.
Giving Bluetooth module from Magisk a try is fine too.
