So the bluetooth ROM leak issue is definitely fixed. I can reboot the phone and it is still paired with my car, and I am able to make & receive calls perfectly.
However, when I try to play music or podcasts via the bluetooth speakers, absolutely nothing is heard. The music app/podcast player (BeyondPod) both show that they are playing, but nothing is heard. When I turn bluetooth off, both apps play their respective files perfectly through the phone speaker.
Whats REALLY weird is that when trying to play through bluetooth, they both are playing super fast i.e. for every second that passes in reality, the player says that it has played about 4 seconds (almost like its in fast forward).
Although its great that bluetooth can now pair perfectly and stay paired, Im now completely unable to play any media.
Would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this and/or has any ideas.
This is the ONLY issue I now have with the Hero and Im determined to get it sorted...
Thanks for all the help/comments

I have two CDMA Heros in my household, one rooted and one not. The unrooted phone went through the OTA update without problem and it played music over bluetooth speakers without any problem, just as it did before the OTA update.
I think it's an app setting of some sort. Some apps allow you to turn BT audio on and off. Try another app, like ACast or something.

Fresh ROM Bluetooth Issue Confirmed - Prevents Media Being played throgh B/T Speakers
OK, so Ive just confirmed that the Fresh 0.4 ROM has an issue with playing media through bluetooth speakers, and Sprint/HTC are 100% NOT responsible for it.
Originally, I restored back to my original Sprint ROM, updated to Fresh 0.4, and all worked perfectly; except for the fact that I was unable to play any media whatsoever through bluetooth speakers (making and receiving phone calls worked fine and all bluetooth ROM leak issues were fixed). What was weird was that the music app and podcast app i was using (BeyondPod) showed that they were playing, but they looked as if they were playing in fast forward i.e. for every second that past, 4 seconds of the song/podcast were played according to the app. NB: The phone and the speakers showed that the link was established perfectly (for whatever thats worth)
I then decided to go back to when I first got the Hero i.e. use the Sprint RUU to unroot and got back to original ROM. Then did the OTA MR.
Playing media through the speakers worked 100% perfectly.
So bottom line, something has been changed/removed in the Fresh ROM that messes up media via bluetooth.
I havent come across anyone else talking about this, but any additional info would be great.
All the best.
I have done a fresh clean (started with Sprint RUU) to a fresh 0.4 update (not from modaco) and i also have this issue. I also tried the above check and i got the same results. Please if you have this issue, contact the makers of fresh rom and let them know of the issue if they do not already know.
Hello,
I have read some posts about that, but I cannot find them right now...
I have problems sometime when playing music (with headset). As long as the screen is on, no problem. When the phone is in sleep mode (screen off), I have some short break... Or the player just stop. It seems the issues is just like if I remove the headset cable.
I have tried Soft and Hard Reset, I have tried two different Headset, I have tried with TouchFlo player Tab, Windows Media Player and Core Player... Some time it works for one hour with no problem, sometime it just play ugly one song and just stop.
Did any one has the same issue? Find a way to suppress this? Maybe just a registry tweak to disable the "Pause on cable off" ?
I have same issue and make ticket to HTC - but they answer is to perform Soft Reset. They can't reproduce this problem.
I'm having the same problem; short random breaks in the music. Did eith er of you install SRSwow by any chance? I may try uninstalling that and see if the issue continues.
Having exactly the same problem, short breaks in the music, and if i lock the screen, the music stops at the end of the song and doesnt go onto the next track

I don't installed SRSwow. My last try was a Hard-Reset, and just after first start, I played music... And get the problem. My next try will be to use the #### headset I got with my Leo. But I have to go back home for this.
I had the problem using the Leo headset
All of you have a lock screen with "password"? (I have one due to my exchange policies). I tested a trick yesterday: I manually lock the phone before putting it into sleepmode... and no problem (two times).
My problem hasn't re-occurred since i did a soft reset
Maybe the short breaks have something to do with the update function of the music player? Once in a while, don't know when, but definitely when you use the music player the first couple of times, the player does some heavy working in the background. (indicated by the little merry-go-round in the left upper corner).
Anyway the player isn't any good when you have 100+ albums. Browsing through that many albums is a disaster (no scroll bar, no search function). Also the artist are grouped by "performing artist" and not by "album artist", a tear-breaker when you have many compilation albums. Also, and every player for the WM platform (in contrast to the ipod players) have this weird functionality, albums are sorted by album tiltle and not by artist. Who in heavens name knows all his/her album titles by heart? When a album pops in mind you want to play, you think in terms of .... (that wonderfull) album by Fleetwood Mac for example and /not/ in terms of that album, called "Rumours", by ...... (that crazy rockgroup... what's its name).
But that's "appelflap" talking.
I believe this is a very old problem witch occurs on allot of HTC phones.
I've had this problem on one of my 3 previous HTC phones, cant remember witch one, because I bought a decent mp3 player a long time ago
It's a damn shame really that HTC can't fix this thing.
I have this problem too, but also with the audio cable running to my car stereo. As long as the screen is on, there is no problem. If I turn it off, the music starts breaking up once in a while.
use Nitrogen people! been using that on my HD2 and have had zero music playing pauses / breaks / etc, even with screen off, regardless of whether headset is on or not.
Have a similar problem with another winmo phone. The problem was with listening music on microsdhc (i.e. larger than 2gb microsd card) card.
It seems the device just shut down card reader on standby (Screen Off), so when your buffer is empty (end of the song, as a rule) there is no music to play and it just stops.
And no, I dunno the reason for such behavior. And there was no problem with 2gb or less microsd cards.
P.S. I'll test my leo with 16gb card tonight (just bout it), to see, if there a similar problem.
I have the problem problem with my 8Gb card. I could try with the 2Gb too. This should be the reason for the "stop playing at the end of the track".
But for the playing "short break", I have another thinking: Nitrogen don't have the problem. The most important differences between Nitrogen and WMP/TF3D player is the rule that make the music to pause when removing the headset. And this really "sounds" like a problem of headset, as if the phone "loose" the headset connection. Try to remove and quickly re-plug your phone; you'll se the same issue.
Back to my first question: is there a way to disable the pause on unplug head-set? Maybe in the registry?
I still don't have HD2, but I have these problems on X1.
Nitrogen did not help, in fact it can't play some MP3 at all. It either skips it or crashes completely. But otherwise it is the best player I know.
What does work however, is to use Core player and set 'higher priority during music playback'. Also I tried to change priority to higher using task manager for Nitrogen and it seemed to help, but I did not test it that much to be sure.
I sent this to nitrogen bug tracker (suggestion that it should allow higher priority) but after month there is no reaction.
I fixed my issues by just cleaning up my music and making sure I didn't have more than 30 songs per folder(had ~1000 in one and it made the music player lag like crazy).
i've the problem, but only when receiving or doing a call. after that the lags start ... this is annoying -.-
Having issues as well with HTC music player, it stutters, there are sound artifacts where the song skips, and sometimes a song will stop playing after 2 seconds.
This is so annoying im prepared to send it back. I reformated my 8gb class 6 card, but it´s still the same.
Using another player is fine, no issues. This is classical HTC issues, they need to get the crap together and fix issues like this before the release. Had the same issues with my diamond until they fixed it.
hi everybody! I had the same problem but not in the sleep mode. My htc music will have little break when my Opera loading something.
It is had any way to fix it? thank you
In the settings for the display light there is also an option for "turn off my device if inactive in:" - I disabled that option and my music player (Pocket Player) is now running without problems.
Hi all, I'm new to the forums so don't be too harsh on me, and sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere (skipped through like 15 pages)
I have a, in my eyes, huge problem with the HTC Music player, sometimes it just skips songs or fast forward through them, then it takes a while before it stops and I can listen to music again, and sometimes it won't stop and I have to turn my phone off and on for it to work again. This is really annoying and happens 4 or 5 times in my 1 hour trip to school.
As I said, it does occur randomly, but on some songs more often then others. I put them on my phone with Windows Media Player. I also keep it upside down in my pocket if that's a problem. I also tried other ear-phones but that didn't solve anything.
Thanks in advance and I hope there's a solution to this ^^ also, are there more people with this problem, I have searched the internet quite a bit but found no information whatsoever.
yes, I have same problem and its only when using not htc's headphones, so it must be a problem with headphones connector on HD2.
Friend of mine is having same problem.
Yeah, it works fine with HTC's crappy headphones. Doesnt work with my Shure's.It does work with my portable speakers though.
HTC Music skipping and stopping
My problem is that when i turn on HTC Music it works fine with headphones other than the HTC ones until i lock the screen. Then it cuts the music out once or twice then cuts off completely, all within 60 seconds of locking the screen.
Thinking this was a problem with the headphone's connection jack, as they are from an old Sony minidisc player, i went back to the crappy HTC headphones and the same thing happened!
Any ideas for a cure would be greatly appreciated as i get around by cycling and it defeats the purpose it i have to stop every 2 mins just to restart the player or answer the phone.
HTC HD2
OS Version5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Version 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
ROM Date 01/11/10
Radio Version 2.06.51.07
Protocol Version 15.30.50.07U
whenever there is incoming call while i am listening to music..... it will happen right after screen is off.
i called HTC support about this, but they said no such case reported and tested...
Now my solution is to press the Play button on Headphone or do not lock the screen.
Any permanent solution ?!
thanks alot !!
ive been having a problem when i hook it up to my dd monitor in my car, it goes wacky and changes songs and fast forwards, rewinds. its only when i hook up to the 3.5 jack from my deck, headphones is no issue...im stumped
Has anyone come up with a solution?I have the same problem when I hook up my Sensation to car radio through 3.5mm.Starts fast forwarding and skipping through songs.
the stock earphones come with 4 metal pieces in the jack, while the others have 3.. my theory is that non-stock headphones sometime mimic a press of one of the buttons. as this also happens to me sometimes while removing the stock headphones from the device.
if you're good with welding stuff, buy a 4piece jack and connect the new headphones to it
Found a fix was hoping for sometype of patch but this works to.Do a search for, "headset blocker" in the market.
Hi im having issues with music playback on my SGS. its running 2.3.4 and is CW Rooted. my phone was working fine until my power button got sticky and would not work. so i sent the phone away and it came back fixed with factory Droid 2.2 a week or so later. i took it home and updated rom to same one above and rooted it.
it was not until i put my music on it and started playing through my stock SGS head phones that i noticed that the sound was faint and kinda muddy. like the sound you get when the audio jack is not plugged in.
i checked the plug and its very firm and makes a click. i rebooted phone, checked setting of the music player and its all fine. i tried winamp app to see if it was an issue with app and playback is the same. i even went into the service mode and changed diamond settings. playback is muddy and its driving me nuts. i have a Galaxy Tab i have same songs and used the same phones and playback is fine. matched the setting in the music player and its fine? i have looked at forums for the last 2 hours
so im kinda out of ideas the only 2 things i can think of is that the Easy Phone Tunes program i synced my phone with has somehow messed the songs up or maybe 3.5mm imput jack is faulty? has anyone had the same issue? or have any ideas what it could be? and if its the jack is there a way to clean the jack and test before i take it back to get it sent away?
I have some really weird and annoying issues with bluetooth audio on my Note 3:
1 - Basically whenever the screen turns on or off, the blutooth audio will cut off for few seconds then come back.
2 - When I use it for google map turn by turn navigation, the first seconds of the voices always get cut off, so if the direction is long, I'll hear the end. And if it's short, I won't hear anything.
Anyone else has similar issues? If so any solutions? It's driving me nuts and I'm not even sure if it's the Note 3 issue or Android 4.3. My Note 2 has been working flawlessly with the same setup for the past year. My note 3 is running AT&T stock ROM, rooted and unlocked, froze some bloatware with TB, my bluetooth headset is Jaybird Bluebuds X. thanks for any suggestions!
I had this with my old HTC EVO 3D and my pluggin BT FM Radio device. I thought it was that but my Note 3 works perfect. Nothing like what you described for me.

Which version of the note 3 are you using? is it rooted with custom rom or everything stock?
I just deleted all system & user app cache from Titanium Backup, this seems to have solved the first issue. But I still miss first few seconds of spoken direction from google navigation with my bluetooth headset. I'm tempted to do a factory reset now...
UPDATE: I did more testing and have found out more. it seems to only occur during audio stream switching. If no music or audiobook(I use different apps for them) is playing, there is no sound cut off. but if either the music or audiobook is playing, first few seconds of audio from any notification or google voice navigation is cut off.

Well, that's better than the Bluetooth on my Note 3 LoL. On my Note the voice on the other end is muted every now and then when calling with a Mercedes carkit. (Comander). And... when streaming music to a high end apt-x dongle (HTC car A100) I get some gaps in the music
Never ever had any problems with the same configuration with a gazillion other Android phones
Firmware: international J7
For my note too, MJ7 rom , I have BT- streaming music and sometimes is starts jitterining and cut outs some times, it note my bt car radio that was problem, cause my friends xperja j work flawlessly. Shame with mi6 rom too before it got updated.
This is very annoying for the most expensive and best phone available!
Same on you samsung!
please if you find a solution contact me!
Thanks for this info. I'm choosing between the Note 2 and Note 3 and will go APTX exclusively. Worrying that it cuts out like that.
When it works, what about the actual audio quality with APTX? Have you listened to high resolution FLAC files, and can you tell a difference with the Note3 and APTX on?
having the same problem, really sucks

I've tried both custom & stock rom based on several variant of the 4.3 roms, they all have this issue so eventually i just gave up.
The good news is that I'm running on Kitkat 4.4.2 now, both rooted and stock seem to have fixed the issue, bluetooth audio switching is extremely fast(along with everything else) and no cut off.
hope the new kitkat will fix it
hope the new kitkat will fix it, i'm waiting for the t-mobile to release it, hopefully soon, also i tested on the samsung mega 4.2, it works perfectly, so it just 4.3 version , thanks for the information.
