Hey everyone!
I've began using my car's Bluetooth to stream music as oppose to the usual auxiliary cable. One big issue I've notice is that Pandora won't pause the music after the BT gets disconnected. The audio just gets redirected back into the phone's speaker... I thought Pandora would pause the music like it normally does when you unplug your headphones... I tried using tasker to perform a "kill" app command when BT gets disconnected, but that doesn't work. I even tried doing a Media Pause when BT gets disconnected, but that didn't work either... Kinda stumped on what else to try.
Does anyone know a work around for this besides pressing pause before turning off the car?
If anyone knows some method to doing this please let me know. Thanks!!!
This seems to have been broken in Pandora starting at least with version 1.5.13. I found version 1.5.12 in this thread:

and it works well, pauses about 5 seconds after bluetooth disconnect so you still get a little bit of that annoyance, but it is tolerable. This version doesn't always show the album art (not sure what is up with that,) but that doesn't bother me.

Hello everyone.
I was hoping I could get some guidance as to what to do about a problem I'm having with streaming audio over bluetooth.
I have my Incredible with the (latest?) radio version 2.15.00.07.28, running CyanogenMod 6.00-R3.
The problem I'm experiencing goes like this:
I have an audio track (I've tried many).
I can play the track normally through the phone speaker or headphones using the default music player, MixZing, or any other music application.
Then I connect to my Motorola T505 Bluetooth car adapter.
Upon starting the track, it will only play about one second of the track at a time, before pausing for about a second. The track timer pauses as well. It feels like lag of some sort, as if the application is slowing down because of the bluetooth connection.
If I disconnect from the T505, it resumes normally.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I've searched but have yet to find anyone with a similar problem.
If there is any further information you need, let me know.
Thanks for your help!
This may not apply to you on CM6, but on my stock Dinc turning wifi off fixed the BT stuttering.
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.
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.
So the issue is very weird and I can't think of a good explanation for it. Occasionally, when my bluetooth automatically connects to my car stereo, Walkman will start automatically and start playing music. Other times, it connects to bluetooth automatically, but the music never turns on. I see a Walkman Bluetooth service in the task manager, but it still won't connect. Sometimes it will connect when I turn the car stereo back on after it was previously connected, other times it won't work. Sometimes I will kill the Walkman service entirely and it will turn on automatically, other times it won't. When it doesn't turn on automatically, I can always start it up with no problem manually, but as you can guess while driving this isn't a great idea.
Has anybody experienced this or know what might be wrong? I haven't had this issue on any previous phone; they always started the music automatically. I'm using the latest build of SlimKit, but this has happened with previous ROMs.

I have a Highline stereo in my car and have similar problems with sometimes failing on first connect. As I have never had this issue with any other of my Bluetooth devices I put it down to the car stereo rather than the phone.
There is a bluetooth config file that needs to match up with what the car stereo is expecting, which would explain why it works on some roms and not on others. If you find a rom that it works on, copy and paste it into a rom where it doesn't .
I used to have to do that with my galaxyS2 to get it to talk to the car. I believe its in system/etc/bluetooth main.conf or audio.conf
Also, I'm not sure the Walkman app is so good and might be the source of the problem. I have noticed that it struggles to play mix albums and can be a bit flakey if it doesn't have a working internet connection when you first turn it on.
Poweramp has a 'resume on Bluetooth' option and plays mixes seamlessly, always starting to play as soon as there is a connection.
This probably wasn't the answer you wanted
EDIT: Lots of people have complained about 'Thow' and how useless it is, and how it stops a device connecting sometimes, try freezing the throw app with Titanium, might be the culprit.
Thanks for your input! I tried using Power Amp to see if there was any difference, and without opening it at all, it connected to Bluetooth immediately. This looks like a good sign.
I will also try freezing Throw and using Walkman, as I would like a free option as well. Thanks so much!
I am interested to know, did freezing 'throw' fix your problem?
Tried Power Amp with the start on Bluetooth option checked, same thing started happening. I don't have the Pro Titanium Backup, so I just backed it up first then un-installed it. I'll be able to test if it worked in a little while, and will post back here!
So I was able to uninstall Throw and started using Google Play music, but it still doesn't autoplay sometimes. It seems more consistent, although that could be a placebo effect since I hadn't tested it a whole lot before. I can't think of what else might be wrong, except maybe it's my stereo.
Hi, as my title says, sometimes the music doesn't stop playing when I disconnect my auxiliary cable from the audio port. When this happens the music continues playing from speakers even the telephone detected that the cable is not connected. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen always it's a random issue. The problem occurs with Poweramp and Spotify.
With Bluetooth this doesn't happen. I think it's a software bug as the phone detects without problems when the cable is connected or not.
Anyone noticed this?
Yup it happens to me in my car infrequently. I've noticed it with Google play music and I think YouTube.
I don't know about this HTC 10 anymore, there are just some very minor annoyances that I've never had to deal with on previous phones.
I opened a return request, and I think I'm going to just follow through on it.

Today it happened with Bluetooth. I was listening music and to stop the music I simply turned off Bluetooth. When that happened the music continued playing using the smartphone's speakers.
I think that the service that is responsible to stop music when headphones or Bluetooth are disconnected is buggy.
Anyone with a similar behavior? I'm trying MacroDroid to see if this resolves the issue.
Happens to me too. Not always but often.
I'm rooted but Stock Rom.
Maybe a Tasker task can help.
I will try out later.
No luck with tasker as the process is running somehow in the background.
