Losing Bluetooth headset controls after playing music for a while - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I play music with Google Play Music for a while via a Bluetooth headset, I am losing the headset controls, meaning skip, pause, volume have no effect anymore.
I can fix this by turning on the display and manually pause and resume the music. Then the headset controls do work again.
Anyone else seeing this?

music stops when headset disconnects

is there an app/tweak out there that stops music playback when headphones are disconnected? like your listening to music, and u pull the cord - and the music automatically pauses or stops.
Ooh, I would love a tweak like that!
S2P with SU2U got this functionality

Bluetooth notifications/ringtones

I'm sure this is a general Android issue. I don't remember this happening with my Hero, but I rarely had it hooked up to Bluetooth.
I have noticed on the EVO that when paired with my Parrot in the car, the phone will cause the bluetooth kit to mute the audio in the car and play any notification that comes in: text, new e-mail, app notifications, etc. It mutes the audio, plays the ringtone, and unmutes. It also plays the ringtone through the phone's speaker.
This also reminds me of the way the phone plays the notifications when listening to music, it mutes the audio on the phone briefly to play the sound and then resumes the audio.
My blackberry would play the sounds along with whatever music was playing, and would not play the notification sounds through the bluetooth kit in the car. I find this behavior to be better in my opinion.
Anyone know if there might be a way to fix this?

[Q] A2DP Bluetooth problem

Whenever I connect my wildfire to my car kit, it works for both music and calls. My car kit has controls for play/pause, stop, and next track.
If I press the play button on the car kit, then nothing happens. However, if I press play on the phone then the music plays fine. If I then press play or next track, or previous track, then the first few seconds of the track will play and then will stop, and the car kit shows no device connected. Yet if I press play on the phone, the music will start playing again.
It's as though the a2dp controls are resetting the bluetooth, or causing a disconnection (I guess thats why the music stops, as the wildfire stops playback when headset is disconnected).
Does anybody else have this problem? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I have tried the kit with a few other phones and it seems to work fine, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with my wildfire, or android itself.
I have stock froyo.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Bundled wired headset question

I have a question about the headphones with controls that are bundled with the Note 3. They have 3 buttons for volume up, down, and pause.
The thing is, I use Poweramp as my primary music player, and whenever I double click the pause button to go to the next song it takes my phone off vibrate and turns on its system audio. This is a pain in the ass for when I don't want my notification/ringtone sounds on, but am listening to music and want to skip songs using the headset controls.
Any thoughts or solutions for this issue? Are there any headset settings in the menus that I'm missing?

No Bluetooth after call....?

Wierd issue. Use to work but not now. When I'm on Bluetooth and take or make a phone call on Bluetooth... And then after the call try and play media through Bluetooth, it won't have sound. Max volume. Shows as playing. But nothing. Not even through phone speaker. It's as if the dialer app didn't release the Bluetooth control after the call.
Only way to fix is to turn off Bluetooth and back on.
Anyway to fix?
I had this happen once or twice, but not recently. I use bluetooth in my car but my factory radio in my car only has BT for calls, not music. I have a small A2DP device that plays music through the AUX in on the radio. A few times if I took a call via BT for the car, when the call ended the music wouldn't resume. I'd go to Spotify and it showed as playing but no sound came out. I never tried resetting bluetooth because when I'm driving it's easier to just hold power until the phone reboots, then it works fine.
mine does it when I'm using the amazon music player, doesn't matter if I'm on a call or not. Every now and then it just stops sending audio to the radio. If I turn the phone on, the lockscreen shows that the song is playing, but zero audio.
If I pause / play / pause on the lockscreen it usually resumes playing. Very odd issue. Still better than the problems I was having with my note4.
I've seen this issue on android for years. I'll have the same issue if I say Okay Google and Google doesn't recognize what I say.
