Bluetooth headset - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

When I connect my headset I don't get notifications sounds from phone speaker only on the Bluetooth... Has anyone else noticed this bug. Rooted 9.0 with ex kernel and using Textra app

That's not a bug that's how it's supposed to work if you have notifications over Bluetooth enabled.

Coming from my nexus 6 it's both headset and phone speaker... Headset options is phone and media (music) there isn't a option to turn notifications on or off that I have seen.

When I disabled media... Notifications sounds come through phone speaker (and music).. There should be away for it to work the normal way.

Yep, same for me. Didn't do it in my past 3 android devices, does it on this. Not that annoying as my watch usually
pings when it happens. Must be an early "pie" thing.

Hopefully some 9.0 custom roms will fix this issue... It's a easy fix however, they must have overlooked in testing.

Another bug present is the audio is not sync while watching a video or a game.

[Q] Poweramp stops playing

I don't know what's wrong but poweramp just automatically stops playing after a while with headset connected. I've tried to change some settings to no avail. Anyone can help me with this?

It's probably a bad configured task killer. Try configuring it or just uninstall it already, 2.1+ doesn't need that
Sent from my A953
I'm not using any task killer. To be precise, poweramp icon still appears on the notification bar, but I can't hear anything from the headset

Had the same problem. Try killing the native music app. That should help

I frozen connected music player, but it still doesn't work. I also notice that poweramp stops playing only when the screen is off
Sent from my MotoA953 using Tapatalk
I think a lot of people are having this problem. Does anyone have a solution please? It has probably something to do with the custom ROMs. I'm running JellyBAM on my s3, and whenever I turn the screen on it mutes. And when I put it back off again the sound turns back on. Really annoying.
I had this problem, and it was caused by the stock task manager, it was killing the app when the screen turned off.
i had this problem and the reason...headphones cable was broken and sometimes when i move it is just stop playing.

Headphone Problem after notification

Hi All
Used my Jays headphones for the first time today.
Problem i am having is after any notification email, txt, Tapatalk update while listening to music the left channel cuts out. Replacing the headphones sorts the issue until the next notification.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix?
TIA

I think I have the same problem. Sounds reduces in volume and then goes loud.
Wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.

Is it just me or is Bluetooth on this phone completely borked?

I've had horrendous issues with Bluetooth -- getting it paired, placing calls, etc. Haven't seen many places reporting on this, but seems to be 6.0 related. Can we please draw some attention to this and make sure it gets fixed in 6.0.1? If not, I'm probably going to have to return the phone when I'd really rather not

I havent had any issues with bluetooth, on my sonata hooks right up no skips or hickups, on my bluebuds X no issues either. sorry :-x
I have M on this phone and my Nexus 6 and have no issues with my Nissan, Ford or BT head set.
I only have 1 bt device I connect to, my car, and it's worked fine every time. Pairs automatically and quickly, played a lot of audio over bt and made a couple phone calls and all working ok.
I have also had issues with bluetooth. Mainly when connected to my Chevy truck. Sometimes calls will not play through the bluetooth system and I have to pick up the phone and switch to speaker or handset. Very annoying. Has happened about 5 times over the last week. Other times it works perfectly though. No idea what the problem is.

No issues with my vehicle dongle nor the punk bt speaker.
I actually just asked about a different Bluetooth problem I'm having in a different thread. The answers here have me wondering if it's possibly that some phones have defective hardware. Maybe I'll RMA mine and see if I have the same problem.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yeah, I only really use Bluetooth with my Mazda 3 and I've had no problems pairing it there. Haven't taken any calls on it, but playing music the same as always.
There's some high battery drain related to Bluetooth being on that some folks are reporting, which appears to be more software related to 6.0.

what year Sonata, if you don't mind me asking? Perhaps this is more of an issue with newer or older vehicles?

This is exactly what was happening with my phone -- although I have now unpaired it and deleted the phone from my vehicle, I'm not able to get it re-paired. And it has been doing this for every call, so it's not been intermittent at all.

I would be curious. Trying to figure out how widespread this is, and if it's an RMA issue or a return issue.

2013 sonata se basic radio with Bluetooth
Pioneer 8500bhs, beats over ear wireless, Motorola Keylink, and waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker all work great for my 6p over BT.
The only strange thing I noticed is this, it paired fine, connects fine, shows the music I'm playing on play music fine, but unless I adjust volume down one click off max I get no audio. Lol
Since it seems like some are having issues and some aren't, I'm thinking this may be some sort of problem with different BT radio hardware

I used my UE Boom speakers with it and had no issues. Mind you, my UE Booms are linked together, so the phone was only truly paired to one, but the odd issues with one channel of audio dropping in and out that I have with my Fire Phone was not present with the 6P.
LOL @ Beats...
Works fine for me with generic head unit.
For people that aren't having issues, have you applied the November security update? There appears to be some type of Bluetooth security fix in there, perhaps that is also fixing the connection issues that some of us are experiencing? I'm willing to flash it later tonight and test if there is any evidence it will help

I have a question for you about the Bluetooth headphones you use. If you pause what you are listening to with the button on the headphones and keep the phone in your pocket for 15 minutes, will pressing play on the headphones resume what you were listening to? Mine won't. Many times even after just 3 or 4 minutes.
I'm still trying to figure out if it's hardware or software problem. If it does resume consistently could you let me know what build you are on? Thanks.

I'll try it here in a few minutes at my desk. Is your music app staying open? On my 6, Pandora or gpm would close and play wouldn't work anymore in my truck until I reopened the app.

The app is staying open. I'm using this exactly how I used my N6. Same apps and same pairs of Bluetooth headphones. I didn't have this problem on the N6.

Bluetooth audio stutter

Who else is facing audio stutter when listening to music over bluetooth?
I thought it was an issue with my headset (Sony SBH80) but it seems to be happening on all devices, its very bad when using stock music player. Its totally unusable.
I have intermittent music over Bluetooth in my car sometimes... When I shut all the apps it's fine..
Sent from my SO-03H using Tapatalk
When I used it with my last headunit in my car (sony-device) it worked fine! But since we switched to another car (mazda) it stutters frequently without any logical reason. I also didn't manage to recreate the issue as it, sometimes, play just fine.

I was using Samsung before z5 and I think Samsung Bluetooth and WiFi is much superior then Xperia... My Samsung could connect to my Asus ac router beyond 300 meter Xperia sometimes can't get connected while I am at home..

I have to live with multiple issues on Z5p, it heats up and the UI stutters when its hot . Battery life is not as good as my Z3...Wish Sony will address all of this in Xperia X performance at least.
But the bluetooth issue made me completely pissed, never have experienced this in any of my previous phones, even basic phones with no smart features have a decent bluetooth radio!
Same here. Got the bt stuttering on a regular basis. Phone restart helps for a limited amount of time. Super sucky problem indeed!
This problem has been addressed in the Sony Mobile Forum. Apparently the FM Radio app is causing the issue(even if you don't use it). To fix this, the FM Radio was removed in the next update, and added back again in the subsequent update after the issue has been fixed. So until the updates are released, we have to live with it.
I've got it too. Z5 premium dual sim 6.0.1 build 32.2.A.0.224.
Sometimes it's clean, other times audio breaks out intermittently.
It seems to be less when I turn on stamina mode (very bad compared to the old stamina mode and the notification is ugly) on the latest marshmallow update. Others please confirm if its the same case for you.

Same here I've isolated it to Wi-Fi. The occurrence is reproduced during periods when Wi-Fi button is on!
Will try with wifi off on the way home.
My target is Kia head unit which works fine against
HTC one m7
Xperia z1
Nexus 5
Sgs6 edge
Only z5 premium giving issues.
My ear tells me that there is a buffer under run occurring... some bucket is running empty and the audio stream cuts out.
I occasionally have connections where I don't have stuttering but my experience is not consistent
It's irritating.
I've been getting this recently, not all the time but it's getting worse as time goes on.

Restart the phone.. Helps

I have a Sony SRS-X33 and it plays everything without any hiccup using high quality profile.
I have a Samsung sound dock DA E750 top of the line. I never had sound shuddering with Nokia, Samsung, iPhone. Unfortunately Xperia z5 I get it often...
Sent from my SO-03H using Tapatalk
So the last update does fix a bit, no stuttering when turning up or down the volume. It does however still stutter here and there which is too damn annoying.
What I do not understand is... What the hell changed from Lollipop to Marshmallow? It never stuttered in Lollipop...
I honestly don't believe it's happening because of the radio, otherwise it would have happened in Lollipop as well.
i also suffer this bluettoth issue but the stange thin is that not in all paired device i had that.
whit all standard bluetooth speaker it goes well no issue but i had that when i try to connect to my beoplay a2. i think it's relataded to the connection on aptx device ,cose on my boombox and vibe thor i had no problem
i see in music option, if you're connected to an aptx device, that the phone use the sony personal ldac protocol not the aptx.
maybe this is the problem

Before marshmallow everything was fine for me. Only after the MM update this issue surfaced...
Sent from my SO-03H using Tapatalk
Same thing happening to me - the only solution I found so far is to restart the phone in Safe Mode (hold the power button, then hold the finger on the Shut Down button on screen and chose Reboot in Safe Mode option), then restarting again - after this it's fine for some time - sometimes it's few days, sometimes it's just few hours, hit and miss.
Before Marshmallow Update all was good.

Anyone having problems with music apps like Spotify not staying paused...

Coming from the Note 7 and the Note 4, whenever you unplugged the headphone jack or turned off your car with bluetooth if I was listening to music through Spotify or other apps, it would pause and not play through the phone speakers.
On the V20 it pauses long enough to transition to the phone speakers and keeps playing. It also does not pause when taking or making a phone call at least on bluetooth in my car. It lowers the volume and sounds mono when placing or taking a call, but the audio does not pause.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
same...thought it was just me.
I think it's an issue with Spotify and 7.0.
nope. My spotify is working perfectly.
Same issue here (AT&T version)... also my bluetooth has been stuttering/skipping in my car when playing music
Same issue here my Spotify keeps on playing when I make or receive calls.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
Same issue here, and half the time the music controls on both the lockscreen and notification panel dont show
It is just Spotify and it is after their last update. Downgrade to the previous version by sideloading the 6.2 version and you will be fine.
Remember to uncheck auto-update for Spotify until they fix. I'm trying out their betas currently to see if they fix it.

I'm having an issue with iHeartradio randomly stopping the feed
same here. After I disconnect from my car bluetooth it doesn't stop like most apps, it keeps going until I get away from the car and the phone loses bluetooth connection then it starts coming out of the speaker at full volume!
This is a issue with Spotify 6.3, since spotify developers are not acknowledging this or at least taking their time to fix it I highly suggest you downgrade to the more stable and bug free 6.2.
Note: You will not lose your playlists but you will have to redownload music if you download.
- uninstall Spotify
- make sure auto update in playstore is disabled or it'll automatically update you back to 6.3
- enable the ability to install apps outside of the playstore (I suggest disabling this setting once you've installed 6.2)
- go to http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/spotify-ltd/spotify/spotify-6-2-0-1028-release/
- download the apk for ARM architecture and install it
This fixes several issues including:
- bluetooth controls not working
- music still playing when answering the phone
- lock screen controls missing
- notification controls not working
Pretty clear to me that spotify didnt even bother with the most basic QC checks when they released this buggy pos.

On that same site the most recent Beta they have to download (which is version 6.5) fixes the issue permanently as well. I'm running the beta at the moment.

I tried the beta there are reports of the beta eventually having the same issue. I personally downgraded because the performance was poor on my phone (v10). Plus I can't imagine how many bugs are in their beta builds since their gm builds suck.
