Motorola HT820 bluetooth stereo headset problems.

I've recently acquired one of these headsets and have managed 2 pair it with my O2 XDA II mini. However, i am unable to stream music to the headset but am able to answer calls and make them too. Does anyone know how i could stream music from my phone to my headset?

if you check in the forum for your pda, i believe you will find you have to upgrade your bluetooth software?
then you will find new menu's in the bluetooth settings including audio/audio streaming.
have the headphones, and am very pleased

already have da software
Hey, i already have the software but the thing is nothing appears in the box labelled "default headset" even after i have paired the device with my XDA. And whenever i try 2 stream music, it initially says connecting but eventually the connection fails and the music does not stream to my headset. Does anyone know how i can get the headset to appear in the default headset drop down box?

when you paired the h/set & phone, what choices did you get?

When I turn my headphones on, my handsfree part pairs but my stereo part won't pair automatically, usually. I just connect it manually, but sometimes it won't just connect so I have to disconnect the handsfree part before I connect the stereo part then reconnect the handsfree part. Occassionally, I have to repeat more than once.

Pair it to the device you want stereo from, start the default "Headset" system for normal talking, press the left multifunction to terminate the connection to the "headset" profile, then press the right multifunction button to trigger the "stereo headset" profile to start.
Or, try to force it after pairing and then press the rightmultifunction to accept the connection and have the device bind that call to that function, enabling and disabling the stereo data.
I had to do the first part with my new HP iPAQ hx2495 to get the stereo headset profile going when i installed the headset as both stereo and regular.

I finally got my HT820 working
I have a T-mobile US MDA.
I first upgraded to ROM 2.24 which supports A2DP, which is what the headset uses for sound other than the phone. (When you flash your ROM it intalls all new boot up software so it changes your hard-reset process, and you lose your support.) Then I paired. You should see the services the headset offers, handsfree and stereo. There's also a menu available when you hold-slelect the name of the BT device in the device list that's handy.
I did discover that it is a headset problem if the sound skips out irratically averaging about 20 seconds. There was a bad batch sent out to/from Hong Kong. Motorola is replacing mine, but I had to pay to ship it to them.
Hope this helps!

I don't want to hijack your thread but I don't know where else to turn. I have requested help elswhere on this forum for my problem but I can't seem to get any help.
I have a ht820 and a cingular 8125. I've been able to pair the headset with my phone but, when I try to play a mp3, the voice speed dial comes up, the mp3 plays for about 3 seconds, then the mp3 audio reverts back to the phone.
Do I have to flash to a different rom, do I have to tweak registry settings? I don't really have a clue what I should do. Please help.

Edit: I've solved my problem. See this thread for my fix.

Thanks

Actually what it sounds like is the phone is only connecting to the headset for that time under the premise of a voice dial with the headset profile. I think you're lucky enough that you can get it to play for those 3 seconds. I have a Sony Ericcson w810i and I can't even get any audio from it to the headset at all without using the w810i's 3.5mm adapter to the patch cable on the headphones which just looks weird. But you might want to do a search for your model phone like this, "Cingular 8125 Motorola HT820" and see what kinda results you get.

[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

Bluetooth issues

I just bought a z2 about a week ago. Been a great phone so far. It updated to Oreo as soon as I turned it on.
There is one issue. Bluetooth. When I originally connected it to my Alpine cd-hd148bt, it would stream music, but the phone profiles would not load. So I updated the bt firmware on the headunit. Now if I restart the headunit, it will connect with all the appropriate icons for audio and phone. If I start an audio app, it says playing, the head says playing, but there is no sound. After a couple of minutes, the entire phone will disconnect from the deck. It won't come back until I pull the faceplate and reboot the headunit. Even turning off the car and powering off won't get the bt to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? I love listening to Pandora, and my city has a hand free law, so I would love to have the phone working also.
PLEASE HELP!! I will owe you a cookie.
Thanks
Edit: unlocked bootloader and magisk 15.2.

im also having issues with bluetooth, since headset will disconnect from time to time and while streaming music to a bluetooth speakers (bose, harman, jbl, chinese, etc) audio will cut from time to time, until bluetooth connection drops an will have to restart phone in order to connect again

I am also having Bluetooth issues, keeps disconnecting from my headphones, or connects and doesn't stream. Supposedly with Oreo Bluetooth had been updated to version 5.

Car Bluetooth

Hey guys, i got a question.
I would like to purchase the watch but i am doubting something. If my watch would be connected to my phone and i step into my car and normally my phone auto-connect over bluetooth to my car audio system. Would it still do that? And i'm i able to pick music on my watch in the car, example Spotify library, to play on my car audio.

The Bluetooth should work just fine. I don't have it with a car Bluetooth but when using the Bluetooth headphones it doesn't have any issue at all because both link directly to the phone.
The music controls are another thing, you can use it as a remote to play, pause, skip or go back through the tracks but it doesn't let you select whatever you want directly from the phone(selecting playlists or songs from them).
If you download playlists on the watch because you have premium you can go through them and select the songs just fine, but then you wouldn't be using the phone to play the music, so you should check if the car would let you have two devices connected at the same time if you want the phone linked for something else.
Tldr: Remote or standalone Bluetooth music yes, total control of the phone app no.

Ive been having issues with that as well. Do you have android auto in your car? If so, you need to go into AA options on your phone and go to quick connect and only have your phone connect.

I can confirm that you can still use BT on your car and have it connect at the same time with your watch. If you are having issue connecting just go to your car's BT settings and force the connection and it should connect to your phone for media. I use my watch when I'm driving to change a song without having to move my hand from the steering wheel.

Let me add to this that, at least for me, it is *not* possible to have the watch connected as a handsfree device to the phone together with the car kit. So the watch is connected, but I can't answer calls with it if I want the phone to connect to the carkit. It (the phone) simply rejects that request if the watch is connected.

This is why I don't want a smart watch. Only because when I sit in my car it will not connect to car and disable on watch.
