My Sony Smartwatch 3 pairs with bluetooth devices without problems. I've got a Sony Ericsson BT headset (MW600) that it connects to. When I play songs from google Play Music the title of the song appears in the display on the headphones, and everything looks alright. Nothing is muted. But there is no sound, at all. Just silence. The song is playing (says both the watch and the headset) and the volume is cranked up. But nothing. I've tried pairing the watch with my Bose bluetooth speaker, and the same thing happens... Any ideas?
Happens to me sometimes. Usually rebooting the watch fixes it.

.. When it happens on mine I pause and then resume and it starts working
I am having the same issue. I can connect no problem but I just can't hear anything. I have tried rebooting the watch and when I select google play it asks me if I want to play it on the phone or the device, I select device and click play but nothing happens. I have also tried to pause then play again and still no luck. Does anyone have any other suggestions? TIA
Fix for Sony Smart watch 3 not playing music a cross bluetooth
Hi. I had the exact same problem. I finally sorted it out, even went jogging without my phone and had music playing over my bluetooth headsets.
Your needing to convert the songs to .mp3 and re upload and sync the songs. You'll most likely need to remove all songs of the watch and then re select the songs you want on, making sure those are the converted .mp3 songs.

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.
This is doing my head in, it happens with Both the Jabra BT3030 and the SE MW 600.
When playing music all of a sudden the music starts to judder then stops completely. I will switch of the Bluetooth device and the phone and then start both again and 9 times out of 10 it won't work, then randomly it will. I have tried different music players (Poweramp, the stock one) and still the same. I have A2DP Volume installed and disabled that and other combinations and nothing works, yet I can still receive calls through the BT even when I have no music.
Any ideas what's going on and more importantly a solution would be apprecaited
I recently discovered what a treat it is to play audiobooks while I drive.
And allegedly, my G2 and Acura TL Bluetooth Audio (2011 Acura TL w/ Tech package) makes that a snap, right?
Well, here's my experience.
1. I turn on my Android phone's Bluetooth (T-Mobile G2) and get in the car. The car immediately recognizes the phone. Great!
2. As soon as I switch the car's radio/audio button over to Bluetooth audio, my phone instantly pulls up an MP3 player and begins playing a song.
3. But I don't want a song! In fact, there seems to be nothing I can do to stop my Acura from ordering my Android to play something every single time I switch the radio to Bluetooth audio. Or is the phone itself that wants to automatically play something? Who knows. It's annoying. I thought maybe the problem was an app, because it was always DoubleTwist that would automatically start playing. So I deleted DoubleTwist. Now it's WinAmp that starts playing. So it must be something about the phone interacting with the car. For whatever reason, I now have to dial the Acura Bluetooth menu over to Pause/Resume to stop it.
4. Finally--after all that--I can pull up my audiobook player and start to listen via Bluetooth audio. Bliss.
5. Oops, there's my phone ringing, which my Acura Bluetooth phone function quickly answers. It's my wife.
Wife: "Hi, I just wanted to see if you're driving your car."
Me: "Why, yes. Yes, I am driving my car. Thanks so much for asking."
Wife: "OK, goodbye!"
Me: "Goodbye. Thanks so much for calling."
6. When the phone hangs up, ALL Bluetooth audio ceases. I think the connection remains, because any player app I have will show the seconds ticking off if you ask it play something, but you can't hear anything, neither on the phone speaker nor on the car audio. It's as if the phone is transmitting it to the car but the car has its Bluetooth audio turned completely down? Who knows? But it's a bummer.
7. No button-pushing on the car seems to fix things, so I turn the Bluetooth radio on my phone off, then on.
8. Now, we're all reset. Whoops! There's that annoying song again. Got to turn that off. Then back to the audiobook player. Then back to the book.
9. Five more minutes of bliss until the next call.
10. I dunno. Shouldn't this be easier? Hopefully, I've pulled off the road several times while all this was going on. If I try to deal with it while I'm driving I'm certain to wrap my car around a telephone pole, which is embarrasing no matter who you are.
I'll probably have to cross-post this to both the Acura genius's board and the G2 genius's board since I'm not sure where the issue lies. Let me know if you have any clues.
Thank you!
Okay! I got a little schooled by the Acura guys. I really shouldn't consider it a bug that something starts playing on my phone when I click the car radio dial to Bluetooth Audio. That would be like expecting the FM receiver to stay silent until I've selected a channel. As soon as I select Bluetooth Audio, it sends out the Bluetooth Play command and away my G2 goes. Not a bug. Feature. Got it.
Here's the part where I need Android geniuses to weigh in.
I use the Ambling Bookplayer app. For some reason, even if Ambling is already playing when I select Bluetooth Audio on my radio, my phone will still launch a standard media player (such as DoubleTwist or WinAmp) and begin playing a music .MP3.
At that point then, I have both the audiobook .MP3 and the music .MP3 playing through my car's Bluetooth Audio.
What is behind that behavior?
The only thing I can think of that might be a clue is I've noticed that the same media player always launches despite the fact that I have several on my phone.
For example, it was always DoubleTwist. I deleted that app while troubleshooting this problem and now it's always WinAmp. I wonder if there's some kind of hierarchy in determining which player responds to the car's "Bluetooth Play" command? If I had a music .MP3 playing on the stock music player, would the car still launch WinAmp?
And if there's a way to determine who goes first, can I figure out how to make it the Ambling player?
Anyone who has some insight into the relationship between Bluetooth and Android or G2 media players, I'd certainly appreciate some input.
Thank you!

So it occurred to me that since my car is always asking for the same player, there may be a "default player" setting somewhere I can change. Perhaps it's the "default .MP3 player"? I discover that the audiobook player I've been using isn't even listed in the menu of available media apps that appears when you click an .MP3 file.
So I downloaded about every audiobook player app and it turns only ONE of them does (MortPlayer Audiobook).
So I click the box to make this the default player whenever an .MP3 file is selected. Maybe that'll work.
I go back to the car and select Bluetooth Audio. Nuts. WinAmp again.
So that suggest to me that the default player setting I'm looking for is a Bluetooth default media player? Is that the answer I've been looking for? Is there such a setting? If so, how do I change that?
I've worked through most of the problems above, but I'm bumping this because of one unresolved question:
Doesn't anyone here know exactly how the G2 responds when it receives a "bluetooth play" command?
That is, why does it select the player it selects and is that something we can modify?
Thanks for all enlightenment!
While listening to google play music, the sound randomly drops out. The track is still playing but there's no sound. If I hit next song it's fine, but will do it again the next time it changes tracks. I can reproduce this with headphones, phone speakers, wifi, mobile network, etc... the only condition where I don't have this problem is listening via bluetooth on my car stereo.
Also this is a new issue since coming to PA. Before I've ran stock, and ViperOne on my AT&T HTC One M8, and haven't had this problem.
Any suggestions, or anybody else having this problem?
Hi all.
For some reason, when playing music via bluetooth in my car, the song information doesn't appear on screen anymore. I tried deleting and re-pairing, disabling and re-enabling Google Music, tried it with Amazon Music, etc. It only shows the first song's information, then it gets stuck on that and eventually displays "no title".
The music plays flawlessly though. Just no song title, artist name, album name, etc.
It worked perfectly before the Marshmallow update, so I'm hoping I'm not the only one with this problem and that someone knows a workaround.
Thanks.

No issues here with BT. Connects perfectly to my car. Pandora shows all the title info etc. for all music. Could BT connectivity specific to your car? Don't know. Mine, Chevy 2016 Malibu 2.0T using the built in Pandora app on the 8" touchscreen. Plus no issues paring for telephone calls etc

Ah mine is a 2013 accord with HondaLink. There's no other BT issue. Songs play perfectly, calls are fine, texts are fine, connectivity is fine. Just the dang song info. It's really a nuisance.
