From the screenshot which you have posted, I can see that bluetooth is ON and not only that, it can be seen that it is connected to a bluetooth headset. (You might have selected Audio Source as Headset)

Bluetooth Query

Hi There,
Can anyone tell me if Blue Angel will be up to handling more that one simultaneous bluetooth connection (i.e. Headset and GPS together)
Many thanks

Annoying stereo bluetooth notification

Every time I connect my Plantronics 590 headset to it (in A2DP mode), I get a message saying "The connected Bluetooth headset does not support volume adjustment on the device. Adjust the volume on the headset itself". First of all, I thought all BT headsets don't adjust the system volume on the headset. The more annoying problem is that I get this message at other times, most notably while playing back video with CorePlayer and randomly when changing music tracks with TF3D.
Is there any way to disable this notification?
have you tried this topic here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524655
it is under - Remove BT Notification on Connect/Disconnect of headset / car kit thanks to Wensing
Hallo,
i think this is only for the connect/disconnect message not for the volume message or im wrong ?

OK, installed the cab, but then it says to change the notification setting under 'sounds /notifications'. I don't have Bluetooth listed under this screen.
Has anyone got this to work? What did you do after installing the cab?
Cheers,
good question. Same prob here... anyone?

In my case [ROM 1.19.401.0 (51489) WWE, 05/16/09; Bluetooth version 2.1/2.1+EDR] the "Bluetooth warning" option does appear, under/as---> Start\Settings\All Settings\Personal\Sounds and Notifications\Notifications\Event\Bluetooth Warning.
Hope that helps...
That is very odd. I don't have this on my TP2 with Dutch rom. Why HTC? Please oh please tell us why you punish us this way. Are we Dutch people not good enough for your effort?

I have the same issue. I've installed the cab but this has nothing to do with this message. As said above the cab only concerns the initial connection between the phone and the BT device.
More over, I have tried to use Cyberon Voice Commander and when the phone is linked via BT with the headset, it generates a message every time I launch the recognition of a command (the BT kit has not volume control...). This message also makes the Voice Commander stop the recognition which makes the BT headset and Voice Commander incompatible on Touch Pro 2.
The same configuration worked perfectly on my TYTN II.
I made sure the notifaction was off, but i still get this..
The connected Bluetooth headset does not support volume adjustment from the device. Adjust the volume on the headset itself

Which is kinda BS cause i can adjust the volume from the TP2 and the bluetooth dongle. Tho i guess it means the control on the dongle doesnt adjust the volume on the device itself.
I also get
Your Bluetooth headset has been disconnected. Please place the phone to your ear.

Either way.. the cab seemed to do nothing.

annoying issue with navigation and Bluetooth audio

Why is there no way to change the audio path? When I'm navigating, I like to hear the voice from my phone. As long as my moto 360 is connected to my phone, the audio is routed to the watch which has no speaker so I hear nothing. This is kinda ridiculous to me that I can't change this like on other Bluetooth devices. I have to disconnect my watch to navigate bc of it.
Am I missing something or can this be fixed in a future update?
EDIT: Fixed! This issue has been fixed by someone. Maybe it was an update to Google maps? I used navigation yesterday and audio came through my phone as all as notifications on my watch. Very cool!
You don't get a voice but should feel a vibration when turn approaches.

Yeah I do, I just prefer to hear the voice and how many lanes turn and all that additional information the voice gives. I can look at the phone and it will tell me but I just prefer the voice. I also found out it will still work if I connect to my car stereo and the audio will come out of the stereo while it does the directions on the watch, so that's my best work around at the moment
Had the same issue yesterday. It was a major disappointment to say the least. Totally disconnected it from the phone which makes the watch almost useless to me
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app
So, while navigating there's no turn-by-turn voice?
That's not good!

Did you also got voice through the stereo with no 360?...
Let's say, only with navigation from your cell...

Ya, I use navigation all the time when I'm out of my normal areas of driving. Always comes through my car stereo via bluetooth.
To get the voice to come through on the phone make sure Car Mode is disabled. If it is enabled it will try and send audio through whatever bluetooth connection it has. ...I think
I don't have my watch yet, but try going to the bluetooth settings on the phone and select the watch. If you have a "Media audio" profile with a check mark, try unchecking that. That should reroute that audio to the phone.
Will know for sure Tuesday when I get my 360!

Hey guys, I dunno if someone important at moto or google saw this thread or its just complete coincidence but this issue appears to have been fixed! I used navigation yesterday and the voice came through on my phone as well as my watch buzzing me with the notifications as well! Very cool

Of course. With music streaming, the music would get quiet and the nav would be loud. I've used nav on my phone for ages.

Headphone solution?

Is there a solution for the headphone jack issue, where any slight bump to the headphone jack will change the track/paus or start voice mate when using headphones without a microphone?
Not solutions;
- Use a headphone with microphone
- Buy cables or other extra hardware
I've recently started having this issue as well. It's *very* annoying.

Smartkey for Sony?
I also have this bug and it's very annoying
It's on every phone and is clearly intended as a feature but has clearly gone very wrong.
Make sure you have the headphone symbol and not the headset symbol when you plug it in. Otherwise just keep plugging it in until you get headphone symbol.
Ideally we should be able to override the setting and change the auto detection.
Glad to see the LG G3 has the same awful problem as my old HTC 3D Evo
It was happening to me too. I used titanium backup and froze the voicemate app. No more random start ups! ?

Unable to Pause/Change Tracks using Bluetooth Headphone buttons after Pie Update

Hi everyone,
So I'm quite happy with the Pie update except for one issue I just found. I am no longer able to control my music player using bluetooth headphones. I have a Bose QC25 and a Jaybird Freedom and am not able to change tracks using either of them! Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried to enable the "Disable absolute volume" -setting in the developer options?
I think this will help you

Mhmm, try to clear the Data of all Bluetooth-connections or go to the settings and clear the Data of every app which has "Bluetooth" in its name

This happens on my device too. But instead with wired headphones. Has anyone found a fix, or does anyone face the same issue? I'm on Pie too.
