Hi all,
Will explain best I can.
I listen to music in my car using the stereo bluetooth hands free, but when I press play the phone doesn't play. I have to pick up the phone and physically press a button to 'wake' the phone. And then instantly the previous click registers and it starts playing the song. This is also the same if the phone is in standby and I want to make a call, I have to press a button to wake the phone and it will instantly start dialling via hands free.
Any help would be appreciated.
Galaxy S4, Android 4.3.
If in doubt, reset everything unpair everything and try again.
Not sure what happened but all is working now. Please close.

Hi guys
Been facing a problem for the past 2 weeks..
I usually listen to music using Audio Manager.
After starting it, i use a software called Screen Switch to switch off teh screen, yet keep Audio Manager running/playing.
This combination was working fine till recently.
Now, after say 5-6 minutes of listening to music, my HTC hangs and theres no music output. if i just let it be, the Gene restarts.
If i press the volume buttons and the on/off switch, 5 minutes later it comes back to life.
Someone please help me!!!
Hi there,
Can anyone help me solve this problem:
Ik have a Sony car radio with a BT hands free function (MEX-BT2500) in my car. When I make a call, the radio stops and I can speak hands free, hearing the conversation on the car-speakers. All nice, like it should be.
Problem is when I receive a call. The radio stops and I hear a ringtone (not my phone-tone though ). When I awnser the call, the caller can hear me, but I can't hear him, unless I take the phone in my hand and put it on my ear. The sound doesn't come through the car-speakers. So an incoming call can't be awnsered handsfree.
With my former phone (nokia 6230), it was no problem. Anyone knows how to solve this?
If it was the same as my problem, turn up the volume on the phone
My phone was the exact same, for some reason when it connected it was turning the volume right down!
Hope yours as as simple

Unfortunately my problem is not that simple. I got an incoming call yesterday when I was driving, but again no sound. When I called back, there were no problems. Does anyone else have a solution?
Well, I don't have the Sony-stereo, but I've got a Pioneer with BT. I have bumped into several issues with it, and the solution is the same every time:
-first, if you have a settings-option called something like "reset BT-memory", try that one, and pair phone again.
-If that doesn't work, next step is full reset of the stereo, meaning you pull it out and disconnect the power. Then plug it back in, and re-pair phone.
This at least did the trick for me, now voice-dial works perfectly, and I even have "BT Audio", meaning I can play my Topaz' music on my carstereo without hassle.
Could also be something else simple, you are using the stereo to answer and not the handset?
If I answer using the phone with my stereo then I get the same issue as you, answer using the stereo and all is well
Hi any ones knows who to prevent HD2 to unlock the screen when you answer a phone call from the Bluetooth?
Just saying because it's really annoying when you are listening to a podcast while you are walking work/home then wife call you and your answer the call from your nice Bluetooth Stereo headphone having the £500 phone in your pocket then press play to resume the podcast UI change to the music tab and since the phone screen is unlock any small touch will change the the track.
What a lack of testing this is!!!!!!!!!
+1 Same problem every time when I use my Nokia BH-503. Sometimes after call the phone back to music player and start to play 5-10 sec. of every track and skip to the next one. Only way to start normal playback is to stop and start playback again and lock the phone manualy... It will be nice to find solution for this problem...
I am having the same problem with my HD2 and my cars blue tooth system. I answer a call in the car and fter I hang up my phone starts making calls on its own. I'm on T-Mobile in the US.
I can't believe that they didn't find this after 6 months of use in Europe.
Same issue here. Whenever i answer a call with my bluetooth earpiece, the phone unlocks. This is annoying since it would it would open all sorts of apps and change settings without me knowing.
So there is no way to prevent android to unclock screen himself? It is very annoying thing.
Hey there,
I have seen connectivity issues, but not this particular issue so...here goes:
This problem has been sporadic for me, but recently lasted for the past week.
I can connect my bluetooth earpiece to my HD2 just fine.
If someone calls I can hear it through the phone and pick up.
I can have a conversation through it.
What I cannot do at this time (and could a few days back) is press the button on my earpiece, hear the "blip" which prompts me to speak, say call [insert name], hear the name repeated back to me, I confirm and away we go!
If I am looking at the phone while I am doing this the microphone symbol will show up when I press the button.
If I then say, "Call home" it will show the contact page for "home."
If I then say "yes" it will dial "home."
All of this is done with no sound confirmation.
This is obviously not good for hands-free driving!
I have changed no settings and yes, it has been working with all ROMs, but as I noted, I have had this problem sporadically and now it is going on a week since I had this functionality.
Yes, I have done several soft resets, turning bluetooth on and off as well as unpairing and redetecting the device.
Any thoughts?
OK...it just worked for me.
Like I said...sporadic.
The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that I turned on bluetooth then turned off the phone (just clicked the power key, did not power down) then put on my bluetooth and once paired I tried the function and it worked.
The last few times I had not clicked the power key as I was waiting for the pairing and then attempting to use the function immediately thereafter.
hmmmm...
I don't know if this counts as a "fix" yet.
Okay guys so I have a Moto X and an HTC Stereoclip.
Upon first pairing everything is fine and dandy. Volume levels are as expected. Once I disconnect when I get to the parking lot at work and reconnect when I get inside work the volume is SUUUUUUPER LOW!!! The only way to fix this is to go to my bluetooth settings on my phone and "forget" the HTC Stereoclip. On the initial pairing everything is okay again. There is no way I'm going to keep re-pairing it the long way each time I want to use the stereoclip.
The problem is with the phone though. As I have a Galaxy Note 3 that I use with the stereoclip as well but it has no volume issues pairing and re-pairing.
Do I have a bad unit?
I've noticed on mine, occasionally, the volume will be super low when I get back in my car. As soon as the song changes, or any other notification sound happens, the volume immediately jumps back to where it was (full). I haven't figured out exactly how to reproduce the issue, but since it only happens very rarely, I haven't spent much time on it.
Had the same thing sometimes on my Note 2. I'm guessing it's a bug, but I'm not sure what causes it, nor have I ever been in a position to really troubleshoot it when it happens. By the time I could troubleshoot, I forget about it.
