Notifications over Bluetooth?

Why don't notifications go over bluetooth? 2.1, cyanogem 5.0.6, 5.0.7, and now 2.2, and they always go to the speaker instead of my bluetooth headset? why is that.

Just a bump in hopes of an answer or resolution. Running stock here.
I frequently listen to music over bluetooth headphones. Notifications go through the speaker, so I frequently miss texts and emails. If a headset is plugged in, music is interrupted. Any apps to fix this? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks for any and all help.

Hmmm, OK, maybe it's the music player then?? I'm using MixZing Pro. Which app are you using for your music? I'm more than willing to try that as a solution.

Not the headset, that's for sure. The phone shouldn't care what it's connected to; it either sends notifications over bluetooth or it doesn't.
I'll test the stock music player, but I'm willing to be yours works because of the custom ROM, and not the stock music player.
ETA: Stock music player made no difference.

i use it in stock rom, and cm and both have the same result in fact i have better use of BT on cm
in stock before root, the BT stop listen when i get a call, and i have to reconnect again. or if my device was sleeping for while and try listen music the player seems like playing buty i hear nothing on BT and i need reconnected again in CM this not happening im not regreeting atm for root my nexus one

I don't have an issue with calls. It's missing texts and emails because the notifications from them don't go over bluetooth in a completely stock N1.

Unfortunately that doesn't do me any good if I don't want to run a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the information. With 2.2 on the way (even if a few weeks out) I'd rather wait for the official OTA than flash a custom ROM, especially since I'm on AT&T. Glad you found a solution that you like, though.

[Q] Bluetooth still playing music while phone calls come in

Has anyone who possess the HTC One encounter an issue with bluetooth headset/car bluetooth unit which the music does not stop while a phone call is coming in and you are answering it?
If so, how do you fix that issue?
Thanks.

I listen to music on and off all day and haven't had a problem. Have you tried restarting the phone? What rom are you using? Which music app?

Restarting the phone does not help. I have this problem with both stock rom and custom roms. I use Poweramp and Stitcher and they both have problems.

Try the stock music app just to test the functionality...

A2DP snicking and distortion driving me crazy!

Hi all, I have tried searching around and haven't managed to to find anything even remotely similar (if such a thread exists, I apologise and I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction), So i'm posting as a last resort, I really hope somebody is able to help me.
I am experiencing a lot of random "snicking" and clicking over btaudio A2DP between my xperia Z and my 2010 camry hybrid. The snicking is not present in bt calls, just bt audio playback. I have not experienced this problem with any of my older phones in the same car (iphone 4, 4s, sgs, sgs2, sgs3 have all been without issue).
The snicking is most noticeable in quiet or silent parts of a song, although lately from time to time it will progress from quiet snicking into full terrible distortion on every beat requiring me to pull over, unpair the phone, powercycle both the car and the phone and re-pair everything to get it back to something that is listenable.
I am using poweramp, but have tried several different music players to rule out the possibility of it being the player.
Has anybody encountered this, or able to help me troubleshoot it?
I am using a completely stock xperia Z, no mods whatsoever.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Thank you for your reply, I have tried with poweramp, and the standard walkman app, both have the same problem. I tried my wifes xz on the car and it was much much worse (dropping out, freezing etc) So I can only assume sony (or telstra) have screwed up the a2dp as it works completely fine in calls.
I might try dropping something non branded on it and see how it all goes.
Thank you for your time.

[Q] Bluetooth audio distortion and skipping

When connected to my TuneLink in my car, I get intermittent background staticky distortion and slight freezes in audio playback every few seconds. Anyone else experiencing this? I tried the "Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix" on the Play store, but it didn't help. My Nexus 5 and numerous iphones pair and play on the device flawlessly. Any ideas? Thanks

Using it with Bluetooth 5 days a week for about 40-50min each day, never noticed anything of the sort.
What player are you using? (Walkman here)

Thanks for the reply. I'm using Google Play Music, but it also happens when I've used the "listen" feature on the Pocket app for text-to-voice reading of articles. Could this have something to do with Sony Throw? I know nothing about this function. Thanks

I had the distortion with a new Z3 Compact in a new Mini. I got a new device - but the problem was the same. No solution. I am not using the Z3 Compact anymore. I also have no problem with iPhone, Nexus etc.

i just started getting this problem recently too. but i think it has to do with the smart connect/tasker. as i wasn't using it before, and after i started to, then it started doing it in the walkman. however, when i close/reopen the app, the problem goes away. it only happens when you first connect it and the player starts.

Have this issue as well. Only happens with my bluetooth headset. Moto SD-11. Works
fine for about 30 minutes, then it starts skipping badly. I have to move the phone around on my belt to temporarily get it to stop.

Noticed as well that bluetooth audio link is less robust than with my other devices. Could this be due to the fact that the antenna is smaller?

Anyone have/had similar bluetooth issues with other Sony devices? Can we hope for a firmware or other update that could correct it, or is it more likely a hardware issue?

Did you leave the device for this reason? I've been happy with it so far otherwise.

well it looks like my issue is directly related to tasker/smart connect. i haven't had any trouble since i've stopped using them to automate the music player. either way, i still think it's a fault in the music player since i can just close it and reopen it and it works perfectly fine.

bad bluetooth

so i just got the Z3... my previous phone was the one m8 and it streamed music to my cars stereo ( dodge UConnect) via bluetooth flawlessly, now i have this Xperia Z3 and it makes listening to music completely impossible ... aside from the fact that it slows down every song ever so slightly it skips every few seconds..... i dont think its the phone bc it streams to jbl speakers just fine, but once i get into the car im forced to use aux .... i checked with dodge and they have no clue and there are no updates for my uconnect system..... wtf guys?! normally this would be a game changer and id just send back the phone and get another one m8 but the camera in this is way superior and remote play is sick..... any suggestions?

Anyone here using Jaybird bluebuds?

I've been having this frustrating problem with my headset and it keeps skipping, cutting in and out when I play music.
Anyone else encounter this?
Thanks.

I have been rocking the bluebuds since my Note 3 and now the Note 4 with no issues until last week. I have purchased the Gear S and the Moto 360 and notice that their is interruption, skipping, cutting when the watches are not connected and the Note4 is trying to sync automatically.
The music stops if the phone does not detect the watches specially the Gear S and I have to click the play or volume button on the jaybird. other than that it works great.
Do you have a smart watch?

Using any other Bluetooth device like a smart watch?
When my moto 360 is out of range it gets funky when it try to reconnect...
Disabling it resolved the issue
