I have the Tmobile Variant.
My setup is Plantronics Voyager 5200 (call audio only)
Logitech UE Megaboom (media only)
What? After making a call the music doesn't play on the BT speaker but plays on phone.
How? I have Pandora playing, I received a phone call or make a phone call and sometimes getting a notification from Hangouts too, somehow drops the MEDIA ability of the speaker and it reverts to my phones speaker. Even though I still see that the BT speaker is connected. I had SoundAbout on, so I disabled that, it still happened. Outloud as well.
Can anyone confirm that this is happening to them as well.
Its easy replicated. Just get a headset and a speaker. have one for media and one for phone calls and it should mess up like it does for me

I just tried it, and it worked as expected. It was a bit more difficult to get the phone to believe I wanted the split setup than I recall from the Note 2. I am to be able to end up variously with multiple devices connected for either call or media audio, and sometimes the media audio disappearing into the ether. However, once connected correctly, I had Pandora playing on an Exogear speaker, and took a phone call on Motorola P311 headset. Once the call ended, Pandora resumed on the speaker. I don't have Outloud or SoundAbout.

ugh, so I tred again..and somehow it isn't effecting me.
Freaking weird..I'll update teh post if I can recreate, cause apparently I can't...
Ok, So apparently its an app doing it, related to SoundAbout actually
I even installed SoundAbout and OutLoud and did multiple calls. No problem. On the other hand, both look like good apps, and I'm enjoying some Pandora which I usually don't turn on at the office.

I have Nokia bluetooth stereo headset BH-503.
I'm using it fine for calls but lately I cannot seem to get music audio through them. I suspect it may have happened when Tmobile sent the OTA update out (my phone was in the first batch, now on 1.15.110.11). Note - im not sure exactly when this started so may not be the update.....could be a dodgy app?
I was using spotify and the htc music player with the headset fine when I first got the Desire.
Both 'phone' and 'media' settings are ticked in the bluetooth options and obv tried disconnecting then repairing the two but still no joy.
Has anyone else noticed this? any other media bluetooth problems?
I can be listening to Spotify or HTC music player thru the phone loudspeaker and when a call comes thru the phone correctly diverts the call to the bluetooth headset then resumes music to the loud speaker once the call has finished.
It's as if the bluetooth media audio capability has been disabled!? Any help would be appreciated, it's driving my nuts!!
hmm seems to be fixed. I did one thing differently this time.....
Instead of activating bluetooth via the widget or settings>wireless&networks> bluetooth where you can check the bluetooth box to turn it on, i went into:
settings>wireless&networks> bluetooth settings and activated bluetooth from there.
When it connects to device it now says 'connected to phone and media audio' and plays fine now even when switching on via the widget.
V odd. Oh well happy chappy again
I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.

All,
On my note 1 I always used my apple headphones. I am able to play pause song/ next track and answer calls but not hang up calls or alter volume.
Now on my note 2, I can do all the above but when I make a call, it doesnt work and the call ends however I can recieve a call with the headphones. This is such a weird situation.. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
You can only use Android specific headphones for volume controls and playing none of the headset with three buttons will work except u can recieve calls.Android headphones are klipsch s4a and s4a2

Ok I have found the issue. When the music app is open, and I go to make a call the phone just loses recognition that my headphones are in however if i exit the music app and make a call then it recognises it. Its like the phone can only use them as one but not both, although if i am listening to music and recieve a call i can succesfully pick up a call.
weird?
In addition, when I initiate a call and end it, my headphones need to be plugged in and out again to get them to recognise them again.

hmm weird.. I fixed it by changing headphone output to surround instead of stereo..

Sounds like you have a problem with the headset button priority. It looks like your music player is taking priority over the phone app, which is causing the bad behavior. Try Headset Interceptor on the play store (free app) to make sure the button press is directed to the proper app.
I've been having issues with bad static/noise in voice calls when connected to my car's Bluetooth. Music streaming over Bluetooth is fine, however. Does anyone else experience this issue. I used to have an S6 paired to my car and it was perfect for both voice calls and music.
My audio for like music is fine but tried making a car handsfree the other day for the first time and couldn't hear the other person who said they didn't hear me either. I had to click on the dialer app to switch out it to phone speaker and then back to Bluetooth then it worked.
It's been like this since I first got the phone...it's almost unusable for phone calls in the car. I wonder if this is a software or hardware defect and if it will be corrected in a future update. I don't want to have to RMA this phone if I don't have to.
I'll try your workaround, acheney...thanks for the tip
Pixel XL connects via Bluetooth to both of my cars without problems. And call audio is fine both ways.
I have had zero issues with music streaming or phone calls. 2014 Infiniti q50
I'm having this issue too. Music and video play fine, but when someone calls i can hardly understand what they are saying due the static. Was hoping the update would fix the issue. I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Same issue. Audio over BT is fine. GPS navigation over audio was playing up, but now appears to be ok. The moment I call someone (or they call me) the call is all garbled and I have to switch to speakerphone.
My Bluetooth earpiece however works fine. Not sure if headunit issue or phone bt stack.
i have this same issue. so annoying. so far there's no solution?

None that i have found. Flashed AptX codec and still have same issue. Don't think it is hardware because the phone works fine when paired with other Bluetooth items like speakers, headphones, my watch, and other car stereos. Just doesn't like my factory pioneer unit in my Tc for some reason.
Audio issues for me have always been carrier issues.
Redialing the number usually fixed the call
I ended up finding if I mounted my phone far away from the head unit (near the door/drivers window for example) and tilted the phone in a weird way, the calls were fine.
I don't quite understand it, but seems like there is interference from the head unit when using BT to make calls, which for some reason isn't a problem when you play music (or GPS navigation is on).
Either the Pixel needs better shielding or there's something borked with the Bluetooth chipset.
I would like to use wireless headphones, but the in-channel headphones with a large battery and with good sound have not yet been invented
Yes!
I've only made a few calls over my cars bluetooth, but yesterday I ran into this:
Conversation was fine for several minutes, and then every word the other person said came through as static. When they paused between words or stopped talking, it was quiet. But as soon as they said a word again, it was static.
I toggled the call back to handset and it was fine. So I switched back to bluetooth, and it was fine for a minute or two, and then it became static voice again. I switched back and forth again and it was back to normal voice and remained that way.
Like I get disconnects from my car. The phone audio won't come through ones I turn on media audio. It's a mess. Anyone experiencing this? Is there a way to clear the Bluetooth cache? I googled and see how to do it on earlier versions but not pie. Tia

@DrUnkeN_TiGeR My car only supports telephone/contacts, not audio. I had to buy a cheap BT audio receiver and now everything works fine. What is the year/make/model of your car? Was it working with your previous phone and which one was that? You can find network reset in settings to reset bt.
I had an issues popup the last few days of playing music via BT to a BT Speaker.. after I stopped playing music, the volume rocker/popup would randomly show up, I was still connected to the BT Speaker but not playing anything and quit out of Spotify. I turned off BT and it stopped. Also, when I was playing music connected to BT, I randomly quit playing through the speaker. I had to turn off BT and turn it back on to resume play. Just sharing my issues.
Before the December update, all was perfect with one exception, the audio information would not show in my car while using certain music apps. After the December patch, audio now cuts out every once in a while. Like the pixel 2xl did the entire year I had it... Google seems to have issues making their bluetooth work like it should. Hopefully the January patch will fix things (not holding my breath).
Glad to hear not just me thanks guys

This exact thing has happened to me. I think it has only occurred with Play Music but I don't know if that's the cause. Didn't occur before December update.
More details. It seems to happen when I've advanced a song but that could be coincidence. I get no audio. I have a Subaru and I can see on the even display BT disconnected. Then it starts to cycle between connected and disconnected until I just turn on BT on my phone. Even though it briefly reconnects it doesn't actually function. No audio
