I just purchased a hands free bluetooth kit for my car and it works perfectly until I receive a call. The call works great, but once I hang up, the music that I had playing is no longer playing. Well, it technically is, it is just no longer coming over the speakers. Is there something I am missing here? A special setting that will fix this? I use Google Play All Access.

can anyone recommend a bluetooth receiver that works well with this phone?
I am looking for something I can plug my own headphones into... has its own mic... and controls that will work to skip tracks when listening to music.
A friend recommended me this
http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=152
which is about 2 years old now... just wondering if anyone else uses anything else?
or even a wired one that controls the music and has a mic, but lets you use your own headphones.
Thanks
Hi
I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones, which also has a built in mic and music control keys. I was getting backgroud hiss issues with my Vario II, but I can confirm that these headphones work flawlessly with my Touch Dual.

hmmm was hoping for something i could use my own earphones with...
thanks though
The S9s are good and sound quality (at least on my old N73) was absolutely fantastic.
However, I couldn't recommend the Motos to anyone. I've had 3 of them, and they've all failed with exactly the same problem - all the controls have failed. They're supposed to be waterproof, and having used them down the gym whilst running, they couldn't cope with a small amount of sweat.
You could go for :

ahh... thats the one i ended up going for... hopefully arrive soon...
we must think alike haha
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220
I ordered a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220 from Ebay about a month ago and paid 60 USD - works really well for music, has full controls including call functions - even pauses music when you have an incoming call and you get to use your own headphones if you prefer - which is why I chose this set?
Here's the link - hope this helps?

just received my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 today...
I have to say I am disappointed.
In the description on the mobilefun website I think it said music browsing... I was expecting to be able to twist the thing (like on my old md players, etc) to be able to skip forward or backward.
I was also expecting a volume control, but there is none.
Other things that bug me...
- when phone is on standby mode, when you press play on the ds200 the phone turns on. I am not sure if this is because of my ROM (t-mobile uk) or because of the ds200. A mate of mine back in oz has the touch dual with the motorola mentioned above, and the screen doesnt switch on. Pretty annoying.
- when someone rings me... I thought that I would just hear the ring in my earphones... but my phone rings.
- when listening to music... it seems to cut out momentarily (half a sec) every once in a while. Not sure if most bluetooth audio things do this, since this is my first one.
On the positive side of things... when listening to music and you decide to call someone... it switches automatically and the mic seems to work alright with the earphones. But I guess this is something that I expect anyway.
Also it is a good size.
Lbt-hp210c2bk
any one had try or tested this new logitec LBT-HP210C2BK??
I'm generally disappointed with the music playback on the Dual, either with the supplied headphones, or with my Jabra BT620s.
Pressing play on the Jabras doesn't always make the Dual start playing. Sometimes pressing play on the Dual, playback commences through the phone instead.
The momentary pause in the music seems to be a "feature" of the Dual though It does it both via wired and A2DP headsets.
Also, see what happens with incoming calls when you've got the bluetooth headset connected. Mine routes incoming calls through the phone, not the headphones.
And for those considering the S9HD - consider the price difference, and look at installing the SRS WOW HD software onto the Dual - probably does a similar job.

I have a DS220 and am generally satisfied with the sound quality for music playback but I do have one (rather major) problem: after phone calls (both incoming and outgoing) the phone drops the connection to my headset and I have to switch the headset off and then back on to reconnect. This is really irritating!

As I've said before, mine won't route incoming calls through the headset, makes it VERY dangerous whilst driving.

my dual occasionally, without notifying me, turns off bluetooth.. found out yet again today when i got a call in-car.
i can find no reason for this, but i sympathise...
Hey all,
I just picked up a shiny new set of Sony DR-BT10CX A2DP headphones, because I was sick of the huge Diamond headphone adapter.
I was hoping that the clever folks of xda-developers could clear up a few things for me, though.
Does A2DP support calling (microphone, etc), or should the phone switch the HFP/HSP when a call is made (or comes in)?
I ask because I'm getting bizarre behaviour...
If I'm listening to music and I make a call, the music mutes and I get my friend's voice through the headphones, but I have to speak through the phone.
If I'm listening to music and I receive a call, the music still mutes, but I have to use the phone to hear and speak.
Also, voice commands don't work through the microphone.
If the phone is supposed to switch into HFP from A2DP to deal with calling, this all makes sense (sort of...), but it doesn't explain why the profile switching doesn't happen.
I know there are already a bunch of topics about the Diamond and A2DP, but nothing that fits my situation. Since I'm using the Telus CDMA Diamond, I imagine that the other problems with A2DP were fixed (since I never have the problem of the phone playing music through the speaker instead of the headphones after a call), but it's still not perfect.
I have a MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth headset, and a G1 (Duh) with the latest Cyanogen Mod (4.1.999). I use the phone for my music as well as all the other smart phone stuff.
Now the issue I'm having is when I'm listen to music or a podcast with Google listen. the audio will cut out for a few seconds over an over and it's making it imposable to listen to music. Is there any way of fixing this issue just a side note I'm using the default music app.

What radio version do you have?
Raido-2.22.19.26i
so this is a bluetooth related or app related your taling about? can you listen to mp3 over bluetooth if its a bluetooth problem?
I can listen to music or whatever over blue tooth but it's cuting out all the time.
I believe this is a common problem for cyans latest rom, but im not sure. you can check on his google code page and see if anyone has a fix because i know a lot of people reported the problem ( i personally dont use bluetooth, so i cant really help there)
did you also try turning off wifi and seeing if it work? bluetooth is kinda like wifi with much less power. maybe turning off wifi could fix it
I recently purchased a Sony bluetooth PS3 headset which also pairs fine with my Note. Calls are working great but the headset doesn't support the streaming of any other sounds apparently.
There're a few apps (BTMono and Mono Bluetooth Router for example) that are supposed to 'fix' this issue but they don't work on my Note. I'm using Slimrom 4.2.2 build 8. I don't get any error messages from the apps, they seem to activate correctly but no audio is being played through the headset.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I would just like to hear my gps navigation through my bluetooth because I have a very loud car and can't hear the nav when my phone is mounted on my dashboard.
Thanks in advance.
I've had a similar issue with a bluetooth headset at work - I imagine fixing this would involve diverting TTS/Music/whatever audio stream to the phone call audio stream. I've tried looking at Tasker, and frustratingly you can tell it to play a single file over the call stream, but can't set a perminant "divert notifications to call" or similar setting. Not as far as i can see.
I'm listening to google music over bluetooth headset and receive a notification (via enhanced caller ID app) that's supposed to use the TTS engine. The music is dimmed but no voice is output. I tried to test the text to speech in settings, and nothing happens if music is playing (not even a dimming of sound). However, as soon as I pause the music, the TTS test works (I hear the voice).
Is there any way to force google music (lollipop?) play the speech/notification sound during music playback? I've tried various sound mixers and settings in lollipop, but can't get this to work.
Wow, I have a very similar situation.

I'm listening to Pandora through a Bluetooth audio system in my car, A notification comes in, (via enhanced SMS and caller ID app) and Pandora shuts down as it should and Enhanced asks me if I would like it to read the message, when I respond with yes, An error comes up on the screen that say something like this, Bluetooth Sharing has stopped. When Pandora comes back on it no longer plays through audio system just the phone speakers, even though bluetooth radio says they are still connected. When I turn Bluetooth off and on again, it still will only play through phone speakers. The only fix I have found is to shut down the Nexus and allow it to boot fresh, then everything is fine until the next notification arrives, the problem begins all over. Wrote ED a letter about this, He's the creator of Enhanced Caller ID and has always responded to me. So I'm waiting to see what he says, but I have used this program on my last four phones without any issues. I think it is yet another Lollipop issue. Not happy about it and hope the next update may address it. My money says that it has something to do with the screen being off, so tomorrow I'm going to have someone send me texts while I'm paired with car and keep the screen on while streaming Pandora and see if I get different results. Somehow I think it is related to the NFC security feature that will not let you use NFC unless screen is on and unlocked. Just a guess on my part, but I bet that is where the problem lies.
Found my issue. Using viper4android in compatible mode causes issues when two sources attempt to play together. Turned off viper and sounds over music playing worked again.
