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 there a way to stop media player from automatically playing a song when bluetooth audio connects?
I thought there was a setting on my old Epic 4G Touch to stop autoplay on connection, but I couldn't find it on the Note 2.
Basically when I run Pandora in the car, as soon as it starts up and connects to the BT, the media player starts playing, so I have to pause it, then go back into Pandora to have it play again, meanwhile, the media player shows a pause notification at the top the entire time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've been using Media Button Router on my last couple of phones. You can limit what apps it will interact with, and can just let it time out and no audio will play.
Excellent, I just downloaded it. Thanks!
Hi there. First off I'm wondering if anyone else sees this as a problem. I have Bluetooth stereo headphones with A2DP (pause/play, next, previous buttons). When I leave my house I tend to grab my headphones, throw them around my head and switch them on. Unless a music player (like the stock Google one) is already running in the background, pressing play on the headphones doesn't do anything until I actually open a music player app. This is rather frustrating especially if I've got gloves on already or if I've thrown my Note II into my pack.
Is there anything I can do to basically make sure that a music player is already running or will start up on and A2DP connection and/or A2DP button press? I've searched for music player apps that simply stay backgrounded but haven't found anything that actually works. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you tried poweramp music app? Its always work for me when I push play button on my lg bluetooth headset. I don't use stock music app.
On previous phones, when the phone was attached to my car radio via bluetooth, and I switched my car radio (pioneer AVIC8100) to bluetooth mode, a music player (usually the last one used) would start running on the phone and start playing a track.
With this note 5, this isn't happening. BT connects fine, but the music player doesn't start at all.
If I run the music player myself (tapping on the screen) then everything works normally - therefore the problem isn't in the pairing or that "media player" isn't selected. (I know XDA users.. 50 people are still going to suggest that I make sure that I have "media audio" turned on in the BT settings even AFTER reading that media playing works fine if I spawn it manually.)
Anyone have any ideas?
(Please resist the urge to reply sarcastically. This issue is really starting to annoy me and my sense of humor in regards to it is GONE.)
I would love to DISABLE this feature.. as I hate it myself.
My Note 5 does start playing automatically as soon as it connects to my car's Bluetooth.
Hate it.

Hi folks,
New D851 running 20G stock (but rooted).
I paired it with my car (late model Toyota) and as soon as it connects every time I get in and start the car, it starts playing music. Something about LG Life is Good themes. They are in the default Music app.
I don't use my phone to play music, and had never opened the music app before this started. I use the paired audio for streaming apps (This American Life, in the current situation). Anyway, I manually stopped the music and got my TAL streaming. As I was driving along, I got a text message. The car read me the text message (my son found his homework, yea), then reconnected the audio player, and started playing the MUSIC again, not my This American Life.
It has done this repeatedly, even after a reboot.
My prior phone (running stock android 5.1.1) didn't have this problem... it would pick up in whatever app it left off, and wouldn't START playing something if nothing was running already.
How do I stop this aberrant behavior?
FWIW, I deleted all those stock LG songs and the problem "went away" but I'm sure if I put other music in there it will start up again with automatic play.
I haven't tweaked anything in the phone to cause this, and it's the stock ROM, so someone else has got to have seen it... Anybody?

What folder was the music in that you deleted? I have a major issue with bluetooth pairing with my 16 Honda Accord. Bluetooth has stopped occurs over and over when phone and car are trying to connect to eachother. Seems to connect then phone bluetooth drops. Only time it seems to work is when the music app starts automatically. That on happens once in a while, maybe twice in the week that I have had the car. It's really frustrating, but think it has something to do with the automatic start of music.

I believe the music I deleted was simply in the "music" folder ... it was the stock music LG puts there as part of the stock ROM. I don't store music on the phone; my Bluetooth pairing is for phone and streaming various radio shows, so I never put any music into that folder. I'm quite certain if I put my own music there, it would auto-play as well.
I usually leave Bluetooth on (on the phone) all the time, and when I turn on my 2015 Toyota, the phone and audio player (or whatever it's called) pair as soon as the car is finished booting up. (that sounds weird, describing a car as booting). If my car is in Bluetooth audio mode (instead of FM radio for example), nothing much happens now that I've deleted those song. I simply go into my streaming app, start it, and it works.
What I have found, is that that if I get a text while I'm driving and streaming something, if I press the button on the car dash to read the text to me (in the car's soothing feminine voice), after it's done reading it aloud, I have to mess with stuff to get the streaming to pick up again, which sort of defeats the purpose of "hands free." So I pull over, mess around, and get back on the road.
It's possible that the car's defaults are conflicting with the phone's defaults, in a way my prior phone/rom didn't trip over. I will try to sort it out, and report back here.
Would you be willing to start a thread over in the LG G3 main forum (not this T-Mobile one)? I hesitate to cross-post, but maybe a wider audience would help us. I doubt this is a T-mo specific problem.

Downgraded from lollipop to kit kat and bluetooth is no longer dropping. However I did have music start automatically playing as you posted here. I will follow the same steps you outlined to stop that from occurring.
i get it where if i've changed the battery(i use the free charger and extra battery) and get in the car, it'll play my ringtones i downloaded from zedge, unless i've started/paused the music before hand...one thing that's irritating to me is that it'll start track that was playing when i got out of the car over when i get back into the car...so if i'm making a bunch of little trips, i hear the same song, over and over and over and over again, unless i skip to the next track each time
