I recently purchased a pair of Iogear wireless Bluetooth headphones to use with my Fuze. I went through the process of pairing them, and managed to get them to connect. But when I tried to use them with listening to music or making a call, they would not work.
Anyone else have a problem or a clue as to why they won't work?
The phone supports both A2DP and AVRCP.
Hope this is in the correct section.
I'm unsure on why it won't work. I have some Plantronics Pulsar 590A and they are top notch. I use it with my 8525 (Hermes) and the sound quality is great. Also, Plantronics does a great job on their warranty.
I have noticed that sometimes when I connect my bluetooth headphones, that if I had the media player already launched that it would not play through the bluetooth headphones but though the built in speaker still. Once I shut down the media player and launched again after bluetooth was enabled and headphones connected, it would work.
When you paired the headphones, did you make sure that in the bluetooth settings for your bluetooth headphones (under settings, connections, bluettooth find and tap on your headphones and check there) that wireless stereo and handsfree was checked.
Sometimes also, my device for some reason just chooses not to connect anymore to my headphones and I have to do a soft reset to get it to connect. Does not happen very often - once per month. I use my bluetooth headphones and the Motorola T505 in my car for streaming music wirelessly to my car stereo every day.

You know this happens with me with Core Player. I have to set up the A2DP before I start a movie or song in the program or else it won't work.
Instead of doing a soft reset I just turn bluetooth off and then back on. That usually solves the problem of the mystery disconnect.

Yeah, that was one of the first things I had done before even trying to use them. I checked the settings. But still to no avail. Even tried soft resetting.
It worked instantly with my Tilt though. But I bought them to use with the Fuze lol.

Yes I do this to for this particular problem. The soft reset required problem is something different - Not sure yet what causes it - I think that it is an app that I run every now and then that causes some kind of conflict even after it has been shut down. Still have to figure it out

Have you been successful in connecting other bluetooth headsets to your device which worked?

Oh yeah. My bluetooth headset, Plantronics umm forgot the number works with the Fuze. This is a mystery to me
Have you tried your new bluetooth headphones with different media players such as S2P or Mortplayer, TCPMP, Core Player, WM Player, HTC audio Manager should all support but perhaps what you are using does not. I don't have a Fuze so don't know how the built in audio manager media player works but have seen several posts with people having problems. Try another media player 3rd party such as S2P, Mortplayer, TCPMP (all free) or Core Player (not free)

Okay, I'll do that, but it doesn't even work with using them to make a call.
There's a built-in mic on them, so it should work with that as well. It says it's connected, but the lil headphone icon never shows up when I turn them on.
Are these the ones you have
http://www.iogear.com/product/GBMH211W6/
It says your device must support Headset or Hands-Free Profile. try unchecking wireless stereo and only check one of these profiles and see if it works

If this doesn't work you may wanna RMA yours and get a new pair. If that doesn't work, then you may wanna step up to a more expensive pair.

Yeah, those are the ones I have.
And it does support both of those.
Maybe I'll do what addicus said and send them back.
I was really hoping these would work too! Darn.
-------------
After trying them again, when I tried to make a call, I heard it make a sound as if it was turning off, and still did not work properly.
I'll be returning these most likely.

Damn you shortay! Since I wrote in this thread my Plantronics have been tripping when I make a phone call and not syncing up. I figured it out. It's that new Yota dialer I put in the other day. Sometimes I can't use the bluetooth on a phone call unless the A2DP is hooked up. Weird.

Lol, sorry! I wonder if I hard reset my phone will it fix it.
I messed around with a new cab earlier today, and had to restore
my phone, and i think it's be tripping afterwards anyway. Last try before I sent them back...that's after the iogear support people reply to me. Appreciated all the help.
Okay, so the email I got from the support basically told me how to set up the bluetooth headphones. WOW... some help they are. Other than giving me a number to call if I needed "further assistance". I thought that's what I was asking for in the first place.
Anywho, after randomly deciding to hard reset my phone, I tried the headphones again, and wah lah...they work!
I guess some setting in my phone wasn't set right. Go figure. Anyway.. Thanks to those who helped.
I'll be keepings these.

Glad they are working now for you.
okay, so I may need you guy's advice. It seems as though they only work once and then i have to delete them from the phone, then discover them again. Could it be a defect in the particular headphones I have, or the model not working with my Fuze? Maybe I should RMA these anyway?
Maybe you should head on into the shop you purchased your Fuze and describe the problem to them. Perhaps they will allow you to connect various different bluetooth headphones (that they have at the shop) to your device to see if it is a problem with your device or with your headphones.

This is a great idea! If you find out the problem is with the headset - RMA them. If not, dig deep in that Fuze forum and see if you guys can figure out a fix.
I've used many ROMs (Viper, Bonsai, Nebula, currently ACS Syndicate) and I've had this problem on all of them. I've even ODIN'd back to stock before and it still didn't fix my problem.
After disconnecting my Epic from my Jawbone Icon headset, the sound often gets stuck inside the earpiece. Music, movies, games, ringtones will all play from the earpiece instead of the speaker behind the phone.
Is there some software fix to correct this? Can any of the devs point me in the right direction as to how I might troubleshoot this (maybe at the kernel level)?
Thanks in advance!
This doesn't really go in Development, and I suspect it will be moved soon.
I can tell you, though, that I've experienced similar problems, intermittantly, and here's what I've observed.
If I'm listening to music through bluetooth, before I disconnect, I'll stop the music. Then I'll turn the bluetooth device off. Then I'll turn bluetooth off on the phone. If I do it in that order, I don't seem to get the bug.
If you do still get the bug, rebooting fixes it.
Hope that helps!
This is a known issue. It's a bug that has to do with being connected to a device for both media and phone calls. If you use only one or the other it doesn't happen.

It's very annoying for me as well.
The other bug that I noticed is after taking a call over BT, when I end the call, the earpiece on the phone starts randomly popping. rebooting fixes it but it still really irks me.
I think the OP is wondering if there's a way to dig around in the BT stack and fix it ?

This stuff has been going on since DK28 and before. I believe Rodderick was looking into fixing it from the kernel side, but I'm not sure how much progress has been made. I know it's not as bad as it was on DK28, but still very annoying. It used to happen to me all the time (audio going through earpiece instead of speaker after disconnecting Bluetooth) when I would turn my car off and it would disconnect the Bluetooth to my car stereo. Now that I have the Samsung Car Dock, I just connect Bluetooth for phone only, and use the audio out on the Car Dock for Navigation and Media.
Moved to Q&A.
i am having a simular issue but mine is that when i connect to bluetooth headset i have to have media playing before i get a call or i will not hear the other person in the call.
it seems to me that ANY bluetooth headset with A2DP is doing this and i have tried 3 diffrent headsets. Jabra Stone, Jawbone Icon, and the Blueant T1.
all 3 of these headsets do this. does anyone have any solution yet?
Even if there isn't a fix, I wish there was an app to reset the sound settings post facto. Anyone know of one?
I just want to add my name to the list of those who are affected by this. Glad it's not just me, though. Hopefully it can be debugged easily.
For the record, a Quickboot Hot Reboot (reboot of Android only, not phone) does NOT solve the issue. Only a full reboot works for me. Seems like it may not be a software issue but something hardware-related.

Just want to add this happened to me the first time just now. I'm on rooted EC05. I was scared for a bit that the speaker had blown. Then when I discovered it all coming from the earpiece, I remembered this thread. A reboot did make it go away.
I wonder if it has any relation to the issue I see once in a while since the upgrade where my BT devices need re-pairing and ask for a passcode, when they really shouldn't.
I Also Have This Issue
I have had this exact issue since DI18.
After I hang up a Bluetooth call, I have popping sounds coming out of the earpiece. Turning off Bluetooth doesn't fix it. Turning Bluetooth back on after turning off doesn't fix it. In addition, after this happens, all devices sounds (phone ranging, notifications) all come through the earpiece and *not* the main speaker.
I've had all of the stock ROMs up until EC05 loaded on this Epic and have had the same issue throughout. I am now running midNIGHT ROM, which has cured most problems I’ve had with my device, except this issue.
I was just poking around trying to find some sort of tool or the name of the service(s) that I need to restart to fix this issue.
Same issue for me. Quite annoying as I listen to audible over bluetooth quite a bit, and then pretty much know I have to reboot when I turn bluetooth off.
SRF users have reported Bluetooth issues being cleared vs. stock builds. I can't say exactly why, but it does seem to work.
What are SRF users?
Nope...
Syndicate Rom Frozen...
Well, I'm on SRF 1.1.1 and I've got the same incredebly annoying audio issue.
Please, someone, come up with a fix!
Hi, I have been searching and can't seem to find anything on this. My wife's and my epics pair, and work, great with with our car stereos (clarion). but, when we get out of the car, and the phone unpairs, we have no more system sounds. we miss calls and texts because we never hear them. the sounds now only come out the ear piece. Only a reset corrects it and then we hear sounds from specker again. Of coarse until we get in the car, and it all starts over again.
any ideas? I'm stumped.
thanks!
have you tried turning bluetooth off entirely when u leave the car?
also are you using any applications to send media with bluetooth such as BTmono?
I have the same problem -- as does my wife. I'm using a Motorola BT in the car, but it seems to be a problem with any BT connection as she primarily connects to our BT phone connection in the house. I saw this problem mentioned in a couple other threads, but no real solutions other than things like turning off BT on the phone before disconnecting, etc. Frankly, that's a hassle and I never remember to do it. I was hoping the latest version of Syndicate ROM might fix it, but just had it happen again this morning. So, I can confirm it's a problem on both Froyo stock and Syndicate ROMS. At least it seems like rebooting is a bit faster on Syndicate, so that's my solution for now as soon as I realize sounds aren't coming through. Just gotta remember to check before I miss a call!

thanks for the replies. I am not using anything that starts to stream to the car stereo. Music player use to, but I removed it. I did notice today that the specker sound loss only happens if i make/receive a call. Today I drove to store and while in store away from car sound was fine. got back to car, called wife, and then when I was at home sound was gone. I will try to toggle off BT before phone is unpaired. what a pain.
Wouldn't ya know I found a thread about this after I post this.

This post has worked for me: thanks mattallica76. I had to be in car paired to do this.

This problem is a bug that exists while using Bluetooth on a device for both ad2p and phone calls. The only workaround (until Sammy or one of our great devs comes up with a fix) is to use the BT device for one or the other. This will prevent the audio from being routed to the phones earpiece after BT disconnects. To do this, go into the phones BT settings. Then long press the device that you are having trouble with. Next uncheck "Media Audio" or "Phone Audio", depending on which purpose you want for the device.
-when listen music either on HTC music widget or PowerAmp
- got Gap and silent when using Bluetooth headset
- works fine if direct connect to the ONE X
any idea and fix ???
I've yet to see if this works for bluetooth but had a look at the ROMeOS rom and saw this in the build.prop as monx seams to have fixed the stutter: lpa.decode=true
I've set this in my build.prop and will try through the car bluetooth tomorrow.
To edit build.prop in the system folder you will need root access
thanks , buddy , let me know the result.
Unfortunately made no difference for me, will keep digging though as this is annoying when I have a 40 min commute to work each morning and again back.
Anyone have any idea's?
Edit: this doesn't just happen on the beats setting, turning it off makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas on any fixes yet?

Have the same stutter issue even after 1.28 update connected with my bluetooth MW600.
Seems the problem is device switching to power conserve core. When i play music in background while running GPS in foreground, iam not getting the stutter.

I have the same bluetooth headset, the MW600 and the stutter makes it unusable. I'm on 1.29 stock now and I got to the point that I don't use my MW600 for listening to music anymore, but just wired Sennheisers.

I was also planning on buying that Sony thing, but then I found my Nokia BH 214 back. It is now charging and when I'm back home I will test it. If it also stutters, I'm not going to buy a new headset, because it's likely to have the same problems, although that Sony is Bluetooth 3.0, which could make a difference.
I'll let you know the results with the Nokia.
I have stutter problem with sennheiser Bluetooth headphones. Am on stock 1.28, and disabling beats doesn't help (although did help on older version)

I'm running 1.28 & have the same issue with my car kit which is a works supplied Nokia car kit that allows A2DP connections. I'm definitely going to try running the GPS at the same time on my way home from work to see it that fixes it as suggested. I have a usb charger that I plug in so won't be using any extra juice. I'll post back my results.

Sorry for the very late reply, I completely forgot it. Just yet I tested the Nokia BH 214. First my One X couldn't find it, tried for almost 10 minutes. Then I disabled WiFi, just to try, and yes the headset was found. Then I put WiFi back on, but it refused to communicate. Wifi off again, communicating worked. So to say pairing was easy: far from that.
Now the next phase: listening to music. Completely unusable. Very very bad. There's something wrong with output, vocals are washed away and sound like the singer is 100 miles away. While quality isn't an issue with the MW600. But also the gaps. What is also very strange is when the phone is on my desk in line of sight with my headset, the are only a few gaps. But as soon as I put the phone in my pocket, the gaps increase exponentially.
So I think in my case the only thing left is to send the phone back. There must be something wrong with it, my WiFi reception is also very bad. Bluetooth also sucks, so since WiFi and Bluetooth are handled by the same chip, there must be something wrong with it. I really like the phone and sending it back means it's away for 2/3/? weeks, but first I hoped it was something with the software but that hope is fading away.
--------edit: just pissed of by all this. Called HTC and I'm sending it back for repair. Nice phone, but basics like WiFi and Bluetooth must work and they don't. They said it will be back in 7-10 working days. Hope they can keep that promise. --------
Have the same problem with my Jabra Freeway, really annoying to get thos silent gaps when listening to podcasts and music in the car. Tried to run navigation on my way to work today to see if that made any difference but it didn't :-(

Thanks for info.
Seems the problem is more related to Bluetooth version & buffering.
I'm planning to buy Sony wireless headset pro with bt v3.
I'll update once I get it hopefully by end of June...

I just tried using my Moto S10-HD after reading this, and thought I would tell you my experience. I have alot of music on my phone, and I just hooked up my BT with Wifi on and no issues, so I started to play music and so far 3 songs and no gaps stutter or anything like that. One thing that does happen which prior phones didnt happen is that when the screen goes to stand by after not touching it, there is a .5 second interruption in the song, but thats it I am currently on my forth song and the phone is in "standby" mode and it plays perfectly.
I have the WWE version of the phone using 1.29.401.11 ROM BL unlocked, rooted, and custom stock rom.
Not sure that it helps you but to share my experience; I have occasional stuttering on bluetooth using my Sennheisers if the phone is in my pocket. I found that I can replicate the stuttering if I completely cover the top of the phone with a hand on either side and cupped together at the top - in fact I can cut off bluetooth playback altogether.
This isn't a normal way of holding the phone obviously - but it does count if the phone is in your pocket, there is already some 'resistance/interference' from the surroundings. Other than that, I have great wifi reception, best of any phone I have had.
Could this be a hardware fault? Maybe they just need to boost the bluetooth signal / improve buffering?
I only got my HOX this week, aside from this issue it is great, no other issues - touch wood
Mine seemed to studder when it was in my pocket while I walked my dog. I sent it in for other issues and we'll see if the new one has similar issues.
Same problem here ! Kinda disapointed !
Same problem SonyEricsson HBH-IS800
I also have a lot of stuttering. It appears to be a very weak signal because it works better (though still not flawless) when I have the phone close to the headset.
Putting the phone in my pocket is already far enough for playback to completely stop working.
So I had been on the beta version since it was released and participated a few times in the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/android-o-beta-issues-t3609335 and others were having the same issue.
The issue is no song/artist information being displayed on my touchscreen stereo, and I cannot use the stereo to pause/skip to the next track (I have to do it through my phone). Ive tried a local audio player, Google Music, and Pandora all to no avail. The deck is a Pioneer double-din AVH-P8400BH.
In my daily car, my phone bluetooth name appears and I can change song ect thru the deck. It is not a touchscreen and it probably 10 years old.
Ive gone into the bluetooth settings and have tried changing the AVRCP from 1.4 to 1.6 (neither work), and audio codec from default to enable optional (neither worked).
Anything else I should try out?
TIA

mine has awful streaming. It has so many skips...snags...audio blanks...whatever term you want to call it....its not "uninterrupted".
I was hoping google IMPROVED Bluetooth. I don't understand why they have this struggle to be honest. Its 2017....Bluetooth is not new technology.
Maybe they should stop expanding their department to provide data to the government to spy on private citizens using smart devices, and they would use those resources to fix bluetooth
Pioneer brand head units in particular I have seen Bluetooth streaming issues when paired to flagship model phones for years...even back as far as my LG G3. I got a Kenwood head unit instead, never had an issue.
As far a the Pixel XL and BT streaming...I have only had issues with dropouts zap sounds or pops, when i am out mowing my back property with my tractor...phone in pocket and BT headphones on. But my previous phones did this...most certainly due to the railroad nearby and high rise high voltage power lines and towers that are above me in that area.

Pioneer uses a cheaper bluetooth and never updates the firmware of the chips to fully support the available Bluetooth profiles even when they are developing their units and new profile updates are available. I have had a very long and annoying history with them to the point where I was in direct contact with their build team after all my complaining. That was back in 2012. Never used another of their products again. :good:
I have the same issue on my Chevy Colorado 2017. Everything works fine on Spotify on my Huawei Mate 9, and iPhone 7. It also worked fine on 7.1.2. Spotify works and music comes through but no info is displayed. I unpaired both things with no success. Frustraring.
I tried unpairing mine as well, no luck either

Have you tried unticking "media" in the profile hitting ok, going back in and ticking media again?

I have not. Ill give it a shot today.
No idea if this problem is related or not but might be worth a check if you have time. First time I put Oreo on my phone it was fine. Then I screwed something up and just ADB flashed the image again. Everything was fine until I tried bluetooth a few days later. It wouldn't connect until ticking that media box many times. Then I flashed the image again and it worked fine again.
So I just got the 8.0 OTA (not on beta). I see in the dev options that it shows what BT codec it is using.
I have noticed that only the option "Bluetooth AVRCP Version:" is the only value that changin it does it stick. The other setting appear to be on auto and revert to auto depending on what device u pair supports.
My first test on my Kenwood KDC-BT762HD it paired fine and it said it was using AptX. Streamed for a few min fine. Then after I got back in the car and it auto paired, music started skipping every several seconds. I turned radio off then on to repair it and it started streaming fine again....but was using SBC according to Dev options.
When I changed AVRCP version to 1.6.....it connects and uses AptX fine. However, the radio display no longer displays the BT media metadata(title/artist), but the controls on the radio still work. I change to AVRCP ver 1.4 and that restores metadata, but then it uses SBC again. (using ver 1.5 results in SBC and no metadata).
I don't really care about the song info not being displayed on my radio....but definitely seems to be something fishy with BT in this new update.
EDIT Update: so now I am noticing it auto re-connecting and using SBC all the time now. WOnt use aptX unless i delete the device and re-pair it. then it works for a few reconnects, but then drops to sbc cagin.
Thanks for posting, I won't be updating. The Bluetooth has never been right and now seems to have regressed.

i agree and although i dont get the proper song listing on my car stereo it seems everything else is better. on nougat my BT headset i use for work all day (moto buds) would often stop connecting properly and i would make a call and have to select "phone" then "headset" again to get audio back on headset and om Oreo it happens less frequently

If you switch to a rom that uses the CAF based bluetooth (all lineageos based ones should, crDroid does for sure as that is what I use) implementation this won't happen. Still haven't been able to track down exactly why, but for now I'm sticking with CAF based ROMs to avoid this.
Do any of you guys having this issue have an Android wear watch? I've had heaps of issues with Bluetooth streaming being all "jittery" and just skipping since the update. However, I found this is basically completely fixed when I turn my android wear (LG urbane) off, or at least the Bluetooth on it.
Tried all the developer options for BT but hasn't made a difference. At the moment, my solution is turning off BT on my watch when I'm listening to music. Bit crap but it works.
I have factory reset the watch and cleared BT cache on pixel.
Any other ideas?
Is anyone else still having problems with Bluetooth on Oreo? I was hoping the official 8.1 release would help me, but I'm seeing no change. I have a Kenwood BT952HD, and experience issues similar to what the OP describes. Audio is plays fine, no unreasonable stuttering. But I get no song info, and can't skip tracks. Also, the pairing isn't as automatic. Every time I turn on the car, I have to wake the phone up, and wait for the pairing to complete, which takes longer than usual.
I've tried playing with the AVRCP settings, along with clearing registrations at both ends and repairing, with no luck. Is anyone else still seeing similar issues?
8.1 working fine with my Kenwood BT762HD. I use PowerAmp v2 alpha build 704 app.
