I'm running the latest version of bliss and Spotify will not stay in the foreground when connected to my car through bluetooth. when using headphones everything works great, but when connected to the bluetooth in my car the music will play, but the spotify controls will not stay in the task bar, and the widget on my home screen goes blank. I also can't control the music from the controls on my car when it does this. Everything worked fine while I was on stock yesterday. the issue didn't appear until I switched to bliss last night. I'm assuming there is a setting I need to change somewhere, but i'm not sure.
any help would be appreciated.
I guess it was just the app being stupid all morning. I just tried again and now it works. the problem solved itself.

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.
I've been using my Epic to connect to my car bluetooth for both the phone and audio streaming for months now. All the roms I've flashed always worked and I've never had an issue. I just recently flashed to the official MIUI rom a couple weeks ago and I'm starting to have issues. At first, everything worked like normal when I synced it to my car. But, now my Epic only connects to the bluetooth when the screen is on. As soon as the screen turns off, the phone disconnects from the car completely. If I am playing music from my phone through the car, the music plays normally until the phone screen turns off, then the music stops playing. Has anyone heard of this issue before or does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thank you in advance.
Sounds like an miui problem... is battery an issue? If not download Screen On from the market place and have it not let your screen go off for the music app or whatever your trying to use. Just a temporary fix.

Bluetooth works great for me in my car for the most part. I am running the m build rooted and unlocked with a keyboard hiding tool and dpi changer all from the play Store. Bluetooth will connect with no issue, display correctly on my car display and play music but all other sounds stop, system, notifications and so on but calls do make noise. Once I disconnect from Bluetooth this issue persist and if I try to play music I hear nothing from the speaker, if I press the volume control it pops up top with the Bluetooth symbol even though I'm disconnected. If I leave Bluetooth off and restart the phone everything works perfectly and as soon as I connect to Bluetooth its right back to the issue. I can't quite figure this one out.
I was able to reproduce the issue 3 times yesterday, as well as now being aware why my sound was missing the day before. Oddly though today it didn't happen.
When i first paired it it work without issue, suddenly yesterday it quit, powered off device, radio, nothing. Unpaired, nothing.
If i uninstall pandora and reinstall it works until i turn the car off and on.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Hello, new to forum. I tried searching but I have several questions that I can’t quite pinpoint so decided to just ask.
Recently purchased a cheap Android head unit off eBay for my suburban. Immediately after install I was disappointed and frustrated trying to figure everything out, but now I’m thinking it’s not user error but more of a software issue or a settings issue I’m not familiar with.
I’ll get straight to it.
Once installed I had no sound through Bluetooth, usb, or any installed app (YouTube, Apple Music, etc).
I found that the radio app did work, and after tinkering with some settings I got Bluetooth working (not sure what I did, think I was in the equalizer car settings). Well the next day I drove it for the first time and after a few minutes sound went out again. Switched to radio and works fine. So I did a full factory reset, and now it’s really screwy.
Now, Bluetooth only plays if I open the radio app. Radio does not work at all, the app opens and acts frozen, but if I hit play on my phone I get my music. If I open the Bluetooth app, sound cuts off. Music still shows playing on my phone, and when i reopen the radio app it pauses on the phone, I hit play and sound comes back. Still no sound through YouTube or any other music source, BUT voice turn by turn works through google maps.
I’ve tried doing a factory reset multiple times now (yes the full reset).
I tried downloading a new launcher, started with the carwebguru which resulted for some reason music only playing when the radio app was open, if I went back to the home screen or changed apps sound cut out. So I deleted it and downloaded FCC and it’s back to the way it was, Bluetooth plays through the radio app, and I can now switch back to other apps and music continues playing until I reopen another app that plays sound.
So, does this sound like this is a settings issue, hardware issue, or app issue? If it’s an app issue, what are some good apps to replace them with? I see a ton of fm radio apps but not sure if they’ll work, not really any Bluetooth apps, and I use Apple Music on my iPhone and have it downloaded on the stereo (although it doesn’t have sound, either).
Thanks!
Update. After playing around with some settings, I’m feel like I’m getting somewhere but not fixing the issue.
I went under the factory settings from car settings. Radio settings were set to NXP6851 and I changed it to FM Inside.
After doing so, the radio app works flawless but Bluetooth no longer plays through the radio app. Still no sound from YouTube or Apple Music.
So I set it back to the NXP6851 and sure enough, radio app is frozen and Bluetooth plays from my phone through the radio app.
I made a test phone call and Bluetooth works, but only through the radio app. If I open the Bluetooth app all sounds shut off.
Now, after playing around with it, I found that I can get the internal apps to play sound if I do the following: open radio, play music through my phone, back to home screen and open an app (Apple Music is what I used) and hit the play button. It stopped the music from my phone and started playing through the app!
I was excited as all hell, but it only played for maybe 5 minutes then the sound shut off again. Cleared all apps and sure enough, again the same process let me play music through the apps but only produce sound for a few minutes (not even one song).
Still messing with it. Anybody have any advice?
Thanks!
Figured it out. Not sure why but there’s an app called “mode” with two arrows in a circle. Hit it once and now everything works as it should. If i hit it again it goes back to just the radio working.
