I have a pair of Creative WP-350 Bluetooth headphones, and they worked perfectly with my older phone (HTC Legend with Cyanogen Cm7.1), but not so well with my XPeria Arc S with the latest 4.0.2.A.42 firmware.
I can pair them up, play music, and the controls sort of work, but not 100%. I can skip forward back without problem, the pause I have to push and hold for a while for it to work (the manual says it should be an instantanious press, and that's how it used to work with my HTC), and I can't play/resume from the headset controls at all.
I think it's a bug in the Xperia music player, as when I install Winamp, the controls work as expected. However Winamp is quite buggy in other areas (like when the phone is locked, the controls seem to not work.
Anyone got this working correctly, or having similar problems?

Hello,
i have a small problem - i have bluetooth stereo headphones (nokia bh-503) which has remote controls on them (playback, next/prev track). The problem is, that whenever i press the play button (only the play, next/prev works fine), the device turns itself on... first i thought its caused by media player (conduits pocket player), but i noticed it does even when using wmp and so on :/
also i tried it in several roms (default one, xperience by itje, jack's v2 lite)
does someone has a suggestion what to do to prevent this? i've tried every setting available in system, but no result :/ i guess there'll be some app or reg tweak i couldnt find thx
hmm, no answer at all? dont tell me no one uses bt headphones these days
I'm running the R2 version of the official firmware, and if someone with an A2DP car stereo could confirm this bug with sony media manager i'll try and find out how to report it to sony...
1) pair phone with car (obviously)
2) get car to connect as handsfree
3) Get car to connect as a2dp
4) play music using media manager (through car)
5) Turn off engine (and so the stereo)
6) Phone tries to play through car still (this is to be expected)
7) press pause on media manager (it will look like it paused)
8) some time sortly after the phone realises the handsree isn't there and the supposedly paused music comes on loudspeaker.
9) it is now impossible to stop the music and media manager thinks it's paused...
10) Usually I restart the phone at this point...
confirmed, i even have to leave the panel as just pausing still locks up the phone. Anybody knows if this is fixed in R2? (I'm on VF DE and theres no update yet)
Haven't run into this issue myself, I use stereo headphones, not car stereo. I usually exit back to today screen when I'm done with music anyway so I wouldn't have run into this issue. I'll test this more on my phone to see if I can recreate the problem.
Sony's media panel has other BT issues as well, such as not supporting button presses on my headphones to switch tracks or fast forward.
I can confirm this also on my UK R1A.
Connect Sony HBH-IS800 head phone and play music via media panel.
While playing, turn off bluetooth via comm manager or in bluetooth setting.
Now the media panel plays via the on hardware speaker.
Play and Pause icon toggles when pushed by music keeps playing.
Nothing I can do other then soft-reset.

(not fixed.)
Thanks for the confirmation guys,
@turnstar: it's related to bluetooth, so if you use wired headsets you won't experience the problem.
Now then, how do we officially tell sony it needs fixing?

Report this to your X1 Support in your country. Its in the X1 Support card in your box, or find this in the SE website.
i'am very shocked that X1 having poor audio streaming when using HBH-IS800. it happens when i typing text messages and put x1 lil bit far to the left side of my body, the audio streaming will drops frequently. FYI, im using R2AA010 Generic UK.
FYI
I had problems with lots of drop outs on my HBH-IS800s paired with my C905. I assumed the problem was with the headset as it works fine with another SE bluetooth headset I have. I returned the headset.

Got the mini last week and am generally loving it
However, a couple of niggles. When I'm driving to work I have the mini playing music via a bluetooth audio device (that transmits FM to the car radio) and when I get to work I listen to same audio through a JayBird stereo bluetooth headset.
My previous two phones (both htc and windows mobiles) have coped admirably with this. However, with the mini, when I get to work, connect the JayBird and then start playing music the audio profile disconnects. I then have to keep reconnecting and eventually it seems to work but is a bit laborious. There doesn't seem to be a repeatable process to guarantee it working.
Not sure if it is possible to revert to the standard Windows Mobile bluetooth management - like I said things seemed to work with previous phones/custom roms etc.
The other thing is that the htc audio manager's shuffle doesn't seem quite so random as media player's! If I've got multiple songs with the same title it tends to play them all together... weird!
I bought a bluetooth car kit to play music with. When I first paired the device to my phone, all 3 the media buttons worked (play/pause, forward, and back). The next time I used the kit only the play/pause button worked.
Knowing Samsung sucks at everything, I didn't waste my time disconnecting/reconnecting. I plugged the phone into the ADB interface and watched the system log in DDMS. What I found was really confusing.
I plugged the bluetooth kit into a 12v source and connected the 2 devices. I played some music off my phone and watched the log as I presses some buttons. In the log, the button presses were actually showing up in the log with the right scan numbers but the media player just doesn't respond to anything other than play/pause.
If I try different combinations of connecting/disconnecting I can get the media buttons to work but 90% of the time they wont. WTF is happening T_T
I have not had that trouble with my bluetooth head unit. I have been using Pandora and Mixzing. I only have issues with audio dropout and it seems to disappear (stop dropping) after the connection has been used for maybe 10-15 minutes.
It worked perfectly with my Samsung Omnia.
I found out that the bluetooth controls only work when the media app is in the foreground. If I'm on the home screen the controls will be ignored. If I have pandora open on the screen, pandora will be controlled.
This is annoying and I wonder why nobody else is having this problem.
I understand your frustration. And if I may, I would like to add this question:
Does anyone have a handle on the interrelationship between the Epic 4G, wireless headsets, and AVRCP music players?
My rooted Samsung Epic 4G is running 2.1 and has the stock ROM.
I’m looking for a compatible MP3/Wireless headset combination using either the Motorola S9-DH or S10-DH, or the Rocketfish RF-MAB2. So far, I am unable to do everything the headsets say I should be able to do, that is, answering a call and having the player resume (both headsets get this far) and also controlling the MP3 player, i.e., allowing for track skipping, pausing, etc.
In short, I do not have control over an MP3 player’s basic functions from a wireless headset.
I have tried both the Motorola and the Rocketfish. While the Motorola does not see an MP3 player at all, the Rocketfish does control an MP3 player’s volume level.
The following MP3 players were tried: stock Epic player, Winamp, PowerAMP and MortPlayer Audio.
I am open to suggestions. I am not wed to the Motorola or Rocketfish, but I am comfortable with the way they sound and fit.
OR...would you buy the headset you like, work the MP3 player manually (not a good idea while driving) and tough it out until Froyo addresses the issue of Bluetooth connectivity?
Thank you.
So a a week or so ago I installed that leaked new Android music player on my Desire Z which works well enough but does not have a lock screen widget. On my HTC headset the play, forward, back buttons worked with this player, they also worked with the original Stock HTC Sense player. I uninstalled the Android player and now the headset controls no longer work. Anyone know how to get it working again? In the Application settings there does not appear to be a 'default' setting, its greyed out.
Hi,
I have experienced other media players taking over the media control buttons on my MW600.
For instance if I have used Google Listen and then exit the program and try and use the HTC Music player, the media controls no longer work with the HTC player. When i use the media buttons it launches Google Listen.
I find if I do a full reboot of the phone and try the media buttons again then they work again with the HTC Player.
I have a Desire Z (Euro Sim Free) with the 1.72 update.
So I guess what i'm saying is have you tried doing a full reboot?
Cheers,
Ash
I turned the phone off/on which did not work. However a "restart" did work.
Thanks!
I would be interested to know what's going on in the background, and how we can directly control how this works and which app has ontrol over the headset.
My headset music controls didn't work out of the box when i got the phone @ last Christmas. So i got PowerAmp witch works fine whit controls, tough i don't even use htc:s headpones anymore. Got razer moray, they are great, but no buttons :/, mic works.
