Hello guys
Today I discovered a bug with the sound when it passes through the Bluetooth or the jack 3.5inch. I am using a car radio/CDplayer with AUX input. For bluetooth, i tried with HBH-IS800 headphones.
When I am guided by Google Navigation and listen to music (tested with PowerAmp, Winamp and Deezer), the automatic shutdown of the music is good and the instructions are said but the sound is very very low. I can hardly hear the instructions.
If I press the Pause button on the music player, the sound of instructions is
perfect.
I did not have this problem with 2.3.2, it appears with the 2.3.3 (.145).
And the problem does not appears with the Stock Player, or Spotify or when the sound comes from the speaker.
Tried with Samsung Galaxy S in 2.3.4 and no problem.
Maybe a SE problem or a 2.3.3 bug.
Am I the only one to experience this problem and is there a fix?
Find it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16051692 . It's a 2.3.3 bug.
Thanks
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) is not working on any app. i tried it with my headphones to play/pause and skip a song and nothing. same thing on my car. so its definitely the phone causing the problem. anyone else?
Same here - tried two different devices. No play / pause.
OK, it looks like Google Music has a strangle hold on AVRCP. It works in that app (which I don't use) and nowhere else.
This is one of the reasons I ditched Google Music on my last device. The minute you install it, no other app works with AVRCP.
I tried disabling it in Applications (I am running stock w/o unlock or root ATM), but that does no good. Also tried re-enabling and FC, but again, no joy.
Hopefully someone more skilled that I has a suggestion...
EDIT - there don't appear to be any settings in Google Music to turn off their control. Tried a couple apps in the market like Headset Interceptor, but they did not help.
no google music isnt the problem. it doesnt work on any app. plus on my old phone google music didnt cause any problems and worked just fine.

Hmm... I guess we have two different problems.
On my GNEX, AVRCP (I only care about playing and pausing via BT) works on Google Music, and nothing else.
On my old DINC, I had AVRCP working until I installed Google Music (only change I made), at which point all my other apps' AVRCP capabilities stopped working (Audible, Subsonic, etc.). I then uninstalled Google Music (again, the only change I made), and my AVRCP started working again.
To me, that experience makes it pretty clear that Google Music was causing me grief on my old device, and is mysteriously the only thing that works with this feature on my new device.
Like I said, maybe you have something else going on.
so noone else has this problem?
Try Power Amp
The Power Amp player seems to work on my Senheisser MM450 BT Headphones
I have the same issue.
AVRCP on my bluetooth headset (Plantronics BackBeat 903+) stopped working when I started using Galaxy Nexus.
On my old phone I was using BeyondPod and Player Pro with my headset and play/pause worked from the headset. Now, I cannot stop or play music in those apps.
I can confirm that this has something to do with Google Music.
I found that if I start Google Music then AVRCP works with the headset. If then I go and start Player Pro, the AVRCP stops working, and pushing play/pause button does nothing. Then, when I go back to Goolge Music, everything works fine once again.
So existence of Google Music somehow hampers the ability of other apps to claim bluetooth headset remote control fully. They claim it partially, because Google Music is not starting music on pushing play button, but the player does not start music as well.
Spotify on Nexus S stopped responding to BT Play/Pause after ICS update
I am encountering the same issue after updating my Nexus S to Ice Cream Sandwich via an OTA update.
Using Seinnheser MM450s, I was previously able to fully control Spotify (Play/Pause/Next/Previous). However since updating to ICS, only Next/Previous work. The main button (Play/Pause) has no effect.
However, when I launch the factory Music app, it responds to all controls.
To try and 'debug' the issue, I downloaded a trial of "Headset Droid" app, and used its BlueTooth command monitor debugging facility. As expected, it correctly intercepted and confirmed the Next/Previous button pushes, however failed to acknowledge the Play/Pause functionality.
Has a bug report been filed regarding this issue? Can anyone suggest a workaround?
Thanks - Anj
I have the same issue. Previously - my Nexus One running stock/unrooted 2.3.6 worked perfectly for play/pause/next/previous/start|end call on cheap Chinese Bluetooth headphones. Been using them for weeks with Subsonic, flawlessly.
Moved to Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.1 (apparently .2 hasn't rolled for my geography yet) - same headphones, only next/previous/start|end call work. Play/Pause does nothing in either state, whether I am in Subsonic or not. Haven't tried Music yet as I never use it (lets face it, its of limited value outside the US!).
But I did notice that if I press and hold for quite a while, the play/pause button, it seems to stop the music in some way that isn't quite pause, but nothing else works after that, you have to manually restart it from the app.
(anecdotally, I have the unsubstantiated feeling that some/all system sounds are not piped to the headphones as effectively as Gingerbread. But I haven't tested this yet)
Finally, I note I have occasionally used these headphones on my Honeycomb tablet - Asus Transformer, 3.2.1(?) and it behaves the same as the Nexus One, not the Galaxy Nexus so this is definitely an ICS issue.
I have reported this fault on code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23172 - please add to the comments so that it gathers momentum as an important issue.
I hate to post a me-too, but me too :-(
I'm using doggcatcher on a rooted verizon galaxy nexus on the stock 4.0.2 firmware. My headphones are a sony MW600. Play/pause/ffw/rew don't work in doggcatcher.
I started up google music and went through the setup wizard. the AVRCP buttons work for google music only. Enabling/disabling doggcatcher's "bind to headset forcefully" option has no effect.
I used Titanium Backup to make a backup of Google Music, and then uninstall it. Now Doggcatcher responds to AVRCP button-presses. Anyone else want to give it a try?
Thanks daoist,
Can you confirm that you have to be root to use that particular functionality of Titanium Backup?
Thanks again - Anj
Interesting. Now it seems like google music and Pandora both respond to it. But google listen does not.

I'm having the same issues with my Galaxy Nexus as well. I starred the link mentioned above. I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Pro HD and none of my music controls work. I also can't tap the call button to engage a voice search or anything. I hope Google fixes this sometime soon...This makes my headset quite a bit less useful...
I can confirm the issue on my Gnex LTE running 4.0.2. Google Music works fine. I don't know why, but Doggcatcher is also working fine (Play/Pause works). I noticed that there is a setting in Doggcatcher for "bind to headset" and "start application" - both of which are checked on mine, so maybe that's why it's working.
However, both Pandora and Mog are not working with Play/Pause and there are no headset options in the app settings. So either 1) apps just need to be updated for ICS, or 2) something is amiss in ICS that prevents other apps from using the headset controls. Most likely the latter...
Apparently the developers of Media Button Router have "fixed" this issue.

I can confirm that after installing Media Button Router and configuring to send all BT commands to Spotify - I no longer have the Play/Pause problem.

that works but EVERY time i hit the play/pause button on my mw600 the prompt comes up, freaking annoying, can we have the app that just does the play pause, i dont wnat it to come up asking me what to play pause.
Sorry to revive but i've got an in-car bluetooth and the AVRCP doesn't seem to work with ICS either.. the first time I click play and the first time I click "next track" on the car after the phone connects, the phone will respond correctly, but will not respond to any subsequent buttons until I press the power button on my phone... It's almost like ICS is sitting on all the commands sent to it's AVRCP like a stack, and when I power the phone (either on or into standby), the next click is executed (without any clicks on the car at the time)..
eg: if I hit "Next" twice and "Rew" once on my car, then every time I tap the power button (between on and sleep), it would execute Next, Next and Rew in that order. I have a lock pattern on my phone too, not sure if that's hampering the AVRCP commands either... only way to get out of this is to turn the BT off on the GNEX then on again.. but it does the same thing after the first succesful AVRCP command again.
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.
Hi!, I had a serious nerve racking problem with Samsung Galaxy W since I flashed it with another official stock ROM in which I got much more languages including the french one. But the problem is that when the earphone is plugged in to listen to my music, it starts switching the soundtrack I am playing to another one that I wasn't playing, it even stops playing :'( . And it's the same **** everytime I want to play my music from the default music player or the one installed like Poweramp. So please help me to fix this!. Even when I wanna listen to my FM radio it shuts down by itself and I could hear some weird beeps from my earphone. The Autostarts apps won't solve at all my problem! :'(
[Q] My phone plays and stops music by itself when the earphone is plugged in, but once removed from it everything works fine! :'(

I am not sure about the default music player, but poweramp has a feature like the one you described. When you plug in the headphone, it resumes playing. (An autostart musicplayer feature). Check the settings under poweramp player and hopefully you will see that option somewhere. I am not using poweramp so I can't tell you where exactly that option would be.
The other issues you desribe, I don't know. It may have something to do with the conflict between poweramp and FM radio... Maybe. I am not sure. See what happens when you disable the option I described above.
The stock rom don't have a FM radio app, so use Spirit FM, search the apk and download it.
And this problem happens with me too, but only sometimes. When I'm using a Bluetooth headset, no problems, but when I use a normal earphone, some lags occur.

Okay thanks for your help but now the problem is solved after disabling the "media button pressed" event's from the pre installed music player and many other apps running on your Android's system. It requires root access to be allowed "Autostarts.apk". Anybody else having the issue could use this app to fix it!
I'm normally the problem solver type and will Google the crap out of anything before asking for help. This is one of those times where I haven't found a solution.
I have a unrooted Note 2 with stock 4.3. Before the upgrade from 4.1.2, I didn't experience these issues. They're minor issues but enough of an annoyance that I'd like some help.
Issue 1. (this issue began after 4.3) When connecting a headset for music, if I attempt to use the headset buttons to control playback, they ONLY work on the stock Samsung music player. If I try to use them on any other player, they will simply start the music player. I've attempted to disable the stock player and that option is greyed out. OCCASIONALLY the headset controls will work with music player I'm using (Rocket Player) so I'm figuring there HAS to be a way to make it consistent. What am I missing?
Issue 2. When I connect to a Bluetooth speaker, the bluetooth controls only occasionally work in controlling playback. Sometimes when I connect the controls work beautifully, other times, not at all. (this is with the stock music player as the controls only work on that when they do work) This issue only started after a factory reset post upgrading to 4.3
Any ideas?
