BT Sound? - Epic 4G General

When I first got my Epic, my Blueant Q1 headset worked great and when enabled, ALL sounds, even movies, games, music, even basic system sounds would play through the bt headset. Somehow, something got whacked and now all the headset is good for is phone calls. Nothing else will go through, even with the headset turned on first and all, they still go out the speaker. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thx.

Hmmm
I had this problem with my hero. My headphones would connect and be good wit everything, and then randomly nly be good for calls.
Jut keep fiddling with it...eventually it would fix itself in my hero if I kept disconncting/reconnecting/reseting

Not ringing through speaker while headphones are connected?

I encountered a problem: When the head phones are connected and I get called, the ringtone is played only in the headphones. This an annoying problem, because I got used to my old phone ringing via the headphones and the speaker at the same time.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Is there any fix?
Oh, and please don`t give any "advices" like "unplug the headphones while you`re not using them" because it`s silly to plug/unplug your headphones every time you take your earbuds out of your ears (maybe i`m not even listening to music, but I want to talk using the hands free device).
"It's not a bug, its a feature!" ;-)
But to be seriously, that's the way it's meant to be.
Well, mine doesn't have this problem and both the earphones and speaker sound the ringtone.. are you using the original HTC earphones that came with your phone?

Interesting, the problem appears even when I use the HTC headphones, not only my other headphones.
Maybe i`ll try a hard reset next weekend.
I say good, handsfree private calling should be through headphones or carkit ala nokia operation.
After turning off and back on again, it seems that the problem has disappeared.
I don`t know why, but it works as intended now.
Thanks for the help, guys!

Bluetooth music skips on high bitrate songs

Any workaround for this besides downconverting those songs I have a motorola T505 bluetooth fm transmitter. I'm sure its probably just a hardware issue on my T505 but skipping songs is as annoying as converting all those songs. Thank you

This seems to be happening with all my music, but most of/not all the time and not for a long period until recently. Which leads me to believe it's a performance issue somewhere and thinking I either need to try a different music player besides stock...or do something like logcat and try to discover what it is. I've tried many other variables for things which steal memory/CPU and nothing helps. Any tips appreciated! I run rooted stock EC05.
ETA: this happens on both my stereo BT devices, but is worse with the headphones (Sony Ericsson AW600) than the Blackberry Stereo Gateway. I get a skip every few minutes of about 1/2 a second at its most regular. Last time it appeared "fixed" was when I cleared all system caches and rebooted after a batt pull, but it returned again. :-(
Skips happen regardless of bitrate or player with my 2010 Mazda built-in Bluetooth as well. Quite annoying; I haven't narrowed down to whether it is the car or the phone though.
Of course, I get skips and pops using regular wired headphones. I hope we get better audio drivers with the GB update.
On the same boot today as yesterday, problem is temporarily gone. Only thing notable I've done was disabling and restarting BT and I don't know if that actually has any effect. It also never seems to happen while streaming audio or playing with no BT, only while playing it from the memory card using BT. Weird.
Thiss has been happening since I had a moment and I had the same music library and the same songs skip it never happens with tune in either

Just thought I'd chime in on some random recent bluetooth experience. I jog and typically hold my phone in my left hand (I use a Motorola S9 headset). The playback is fine (I use MortPlayer Music). If I move my phone to my right hand I get skips. I swear.... it's weird yet reproducible. ha.
When using my in car T505 I get no skips using any audio app.
I use a T605 in my car as well as T305 earphones. I would rarely hear a pop or skip. Now with ec05, i hear them all the time. really bums me out :'(

I have the same issue. Only happened since i asurion'd my original phone wen it was stolen... used to run eb13without issue, but with ec05 skips all the while

this seems to be a very BIG issue for anyone using bluetooth for music. can anyone confirm if this is present in any of the CM7 alpha builds because that is my only hope left for the epic

Call's people whilst an AUX jack is in.

I've checked high and low on the forums for something similar or a solution to my problem, but alas I can't find anything so I'm starting a thread.
As the title state's my phone rings people whenever an AUX jack is in, listening to music, or hooked up to a stereo. I've tried restoring to factory setting's also I've tried different headphones and stereo's but still no joy.

HTC HD Desire HD.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hmm, maybe I've got a similar probelm, I use normal 3.5mm in-ear headphones with my Desire HD and they are able to make strange things, if I gently move the jack, sometimes my phones starts a call to the latest called person, sometimes it skips to the next song, sometimes the music is paused.
I think that has something to to with the default headset funcionality, but it would be great if there was a way to lock any function other than playing music if no multi-functional headset is plugged in.
You're going to think I'm nuts but I've tried everything.
It seems to go berserk when you do a screwing motion with the 3.5mm jack. It doesn't make any difference what headphones I use whether they've got any calling buttons on them or not they just go absolutely mental.
I will admit to doing the calling bug that increases the music volume when you hang up straight after making the call.
But I still can't get around it and it's VERY frustrating, especially in the car.
The same problem
Hey, i have the same problem. This morning i was listening to music on my way to school. And all of the sudden it went berserk, started calling, skipping. What to do?
That happens if the AUX wire passes a current (many times stray) back to the phone. The phone just reacts in the way it would if a button was pressed on one of those headphones having an in-line mic/button.
A lot of times this stray current comes because of static build-up. I'm sure you guys know how to get rid of that. If it's not because of static, it might be because of faulty wiring on the audio enhancement (not usually the case), or if the audio enhancement and the phone function at hugely different potential differences (also, usually not the case).
As far as mine is concerned, freeing it of static usually helps.
One way to quickly judge if it's static that's the problem is if the call/skip/whatever usually takes place the minute you plug it in.

Search for an app on the market called "headset blocker"
NO luck
The above post helps,
However im testing the new ICS rom by Lord Clockan and twistedumbrella and there is no compatability for ICS. Wondering is anyone knows what part of the phone controls headset controls so i can mak an app to block it on 4.0?
Its a real pain as i cant play music at all,
random apps start playing music over other apps and music stops in others, skips tracks etc. SO frustrating.
Take out headphones
Blow into the jack hole
Plug back in headphones
Sorted till the next time crap builds up in there.

I have the same problem. And its realy anoyeing me . Cant listen to music at all anymore on my desire HD...
I have that problem for a while now. The blwoing inside technik did work for a while, but doesent anymore.
That headset blocker would be amazing if it would be working on ICS. Im on the LordMod Beta to.
@geinome would be amazing if you could make an app to fix that. But honestly i have no idea were in the sistem that headset control is located. Hope you can find it.
Found a Fix. Hope it helps you guys to.
I found an other App, that did solfe the problem for me eaven on ICS. The App Headset Interceptor is meant to let you choos, which Music App should receve the signal coming from the remote on the headset. But if you dont choose any from the Apps to get the signal, none dose and so none is cousing problems
Would love to post you guys the link to the market, but cant couse i dont have anouth post yet. But im sure i can sind it yourself
I hope this is solving the problem with the unwanted calls to. Couse i never had that problem, i cant test that.
you dont need any apps
you just need a needle to clean up the pocket lint inside the 3.55 jack.
for me it's usually enough to unplug the jack and plug it in again and all works well for the next month or so.

[Q]Crackling sound

Has anyone else noticed crackly audio with the M? Mine has crackly sound when playing music through the phone speaker, bluetooth connected to my car, or wired to a portable speaker. It does it with Pandora, YouTube and Slacker. With it effecting pretty much anything anytime, anywhere, and at any volume level (I thought it might have just been turned up too high), I am lead to believe it is the phone and not an app or peripheral issue. Is there a fix for this? I would hate to have to return this great device for such a small issue, but Pandora is my most used app and I am very annoyed by this problem. Thanks in advance!
I have no problem with sound on my phone even at loudest setting on speaker have you tried messing with the equalizer settings to see if it helps.

I don't have any issues with music, but I do have crackling the last few days on voice calls. I have not yet confirmed whether signal strength is a factor.

Earpiece stops working?!?

Anyone had the earpiece just stop working? This is my 2nd day of owning the G2 and so far it has performed awesomely. I did use audio a lot today. I drove my usual route to work with Waze in the background and I listed to an hour long Podcast. Got to work and didn't use my phone at all until lunch. Went to the gym and streamed music from DI.FM for about an hour and a half. Went back to work. Then I tried to make some phone calls and the earpiece didn't work, I couldn't get any sound out of it. I made sure bluetooth was off in case it was still connected to something, and even hitting the speaker in call I still had no sound, although I could get sounds in other apps.
Finally I just did a full reboot and sound came back to the earpiece with no problems till then. It seems like a software issue, not hardware issue. Anyone else have this?
If you haven't gotten the ota it should fix this...if you have maybe worry maybe a fluke
