Hi, I'm having issues with my brand new, just bought today Motorola S9HD bluetooth headphones. I am having three issues so far:
First Issue: The headphones seem to work with the Google Music player (stock, but newest version via market), but I cannot use seek controls, play/pause.
FIRST ISSUE SOLVED BY REMOVING WP7 MUSIC PLAYER AND ONLY HAVING STOCK ON THE DEVICE.
Second Issue: While I'm listening to music, I sometimes want to make a quick call. I assume with these I should be able to hit the call button, which goes to voice commands, then I say who I want to call, and boom, done. BUT! whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to music, then click the call button, it gives me three or so beeps but never quits playing music and never goes to voice commands. THE ANNOYING SOLUTION THAT I FOUND: When I turn on the screen, I am able to click the call button and go into voice commands, call whoever, etc.
SECOND ISSUE NOT SOLVED EVEN AFTER SWITCHING TO STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER.
Third Issue: For some reason, I will get a random space (0.5 seconds to 1 second) randomly of no music, then it resumes. BUT sometimes it just all together stops playing music. I have left it for a couple minutes to see if it'll resume, but it doesn't. Then I look at the phone and it says it's still working, and the only way to make it play music through the headphones again is to restart bluetooth via the phone.
THIRD ISSUE POSSIBLY SOLVED BY USING STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER INSTEAD OF WP7 MUSIC PLAYER. BUT SUGGESTIONS ARE STILL WELCOME.
Thanks for all your help!
2nd issue: did you tell it the first time what voice control you want to use? Like Vlingo, google voice, google search, etc.
3rd issue: no clue, mine does that too and it is annoying. I notice it gets worse if the battery is 2 or so hours without a charge.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try assigning the voice commands app.

muy issue with my Moto S(HD is that I continually have to re-pair every time I try to use them. anyone know why?
Regarding item #3, I think this is more related to the bluetooth stack on the Atrix crashing than it is related to the S9HDs. I don't have that problem with my S9HDs, but I routinely get it when paired to my car stereo. Probably happens once a week with my car stereo, whereas I've only seen it once in several months with my S9HDs. I'm hoping the bluetooth stack has been improved when we get gingerbread shortly.
I've a nokia BH503 BT headset ATM and never had those issues. It works with EVERY app on the phone, even the emulators, games and notifications sounds through the bluetooth headphones. I luv it.
Before my motorola atrix I used a Blackberry Storm + motorola S9HD BT headphones, and had exactly the same issues u report...
I have the S9HDs and I get pauses too. The thing that frustrates me is that it depends on where I have my phone. I have a jacket in wear when I bike ride that has a pocket on the inside. If I put the phone in there it constantly pauses. If I put my phone in my pants pocket it doesn't pause at all.
It seems like an easy solution, keep the phone in my pants pocket, but I wear workout type pants when riding and they are not deep pockets so I'm afraid the phone will fall out. It just doesn't make sense that the farther I put the phone from the headphones the better it works.

I use these, and play music with PlayerPro............have no issues. Don't call often with the headphones, but have not had problems with them there either.
I routinely have my phone in my pants pocket while I walk around the office listening to music, and never lose my connection.
Not much help I know, but there are I guess some of us who don't experience bluetooth issues.
I installed playerpro, and I'm liking it so far.

S9 HD's reception is really bad. And I tell you cuz I had those. I mean, u can´t use the phone on your pants' pocket without lil skips... Nokias' reception rocks, and the battery last longer.
The problem with the s9 hd cutting out is reception. I have been using this headset for about 2 years while riding my motorcycle, with three different phones. They all had the same problem. With phone in my front pants pocket the problem persists. With phone in my shirt pocket, or in a backpack behind me, it never cuts out.

Greetings. Im hoping someone might be able to help me with a very annoying problem im having.
I have somewhere around 2000 music tracks, all of which are uploaded to Google Music. Ive had GMusic since they first announced the beta and i love the fact that my entire library is everywhere I go. I also love that i can download the tracks directly on my phone, from my phone.
However using the app to play music is horrible. In the past i used poweramp, which is a wonderful player. My main problem with Google Music is it audibly cuts the power from the headphone jack in between tracks, so when i have it hooked up to my car stereo i hear a pop when the track changes... which annoys me to utter hell. On top of that it behaves weirdly some times, for example i had it set to shuffle all the other day, and it would stop on every song, and i would have to hit play manually to go to the next song.
What i would like to do is go back to using PowerAmp, but be able to manage my music as easily as i do with GMusic. Problem is that, PowerAmp doesnt see the music i download from the GMusic app and the one time it did, all the meta-data wasnt there. So all poweramp said was "Unknown track 1".
The other side of the problem is managing it on my computer. Since i bought music from Itunes and Google Music, keeping everything organized has become a nightmare(i have a number of compilations, and when you download the music from google music, it organizes it by artist not by the album). Which is why i dont want to have to manually move files to my phone. Ive tried WinAmp and Double Twist, and both have their annoyances. I was wondering what other people do, maybe someone can make my life easier.
subsonic, streams from your PC, no need to upload it to the cloud and it the UI is not bad either. it can also cache your streams for offline play
I've been using this headset/heaphones for a while now, previously with my Galaxy Nexus on 4.2.2 and 4.3, and I totally love them -- I wear them almost 24/7 as I use them a lot for making calls and listening to music while at work, as well as for music while working out, and I even pair them up with my HTPC in the bedroom for when i want to watch something while the g/f is sleeping.
But ever since getting my Nexus 5 I've had a couple issues with them, which probably is because of android 4.4. The main issue is that when I press the skip buttons to go to the next song the screen comes on, which it didnt use to do before, and that can be annoying. Also, i often have to press the buttons multiple times to get it to actually skip the songs, whereas before it would reliably change the tracts with a single press. Pressing the play button also doesnt reliably launch and start playing in Play Music like it would before. And when i press the call button on the left side, before it would launch Voice Dialer but now it usually launches google now, although a couple times it did randomly launch voice dialer.
Does anyone else have these same problems or is it just me? I'd like to find a way to make it so the screen doesnt turn on and the button presses are registered more consistently. I also would very much like to set what app pressing the call button will launch.
Feel free to also suggest any apps that you use with the headset to be even more convenient/productive. I wear it a lot while driving and wanted to have it handle reading and voice-inputting text messages while driving, but the LG app for this sucks and others I've tried havent really done what i wanted well enough.
For some stupid reason, both my note 7 units and the loaner s7 edge have this same stupid bug/feature.
I like to turn the audio off on games and listen to music via a music app while on the bus/train. But these newer phones have this behavior that means when I launch a game it put the music app on pause so I have to (via my watch or pull down menu) Press Play while in the game to keep listening.
My 6p never did this... I've tested with black player, power amp, Samsung music and a couple of others.
Any suggestions how I can make the bloody phone do what I want? It's driving me nuts!
Ugh this is really annoying me. Even if I pop out the music player and have it open in a popped out window, when I launch a game it pauses the bloody music!!!
Why must Samsung constantly take two steps forward then one back?
Let the music Play you arsehats!
both 'Stellio' and 'Poweramp' will keep playing. Check the settings. I believe it's called audio focus.
Oh you legend!
Thanks so much... Stellio did it, had to turn off long focus.
I've never used the voice activation stuff on a phone before, but I'm getting more interested in using it for navigation, playing songs, podcasts etc. when I'm driving. Works fine if I hold the home button and speak but I want more...
So I've been trying to set up voice match. In the Google app I toggle the switch to switch voice match on and follow the screens until I get to the point when it tells me to Say... 'Ok Google', where it doesn't seem to listen and just sits on that screen. It hasn't crashed; I can back out of it etc.
Am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong somewhere?
