[Q] Waking Note 4 Makes Bluetooth play out of phone's speaker? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't be the only one experiencing this. So here's the issue, I connect my phone to any Bluetooth speaker and it plays fine. After some time of course the screen locks. I go to wake my phone and it stops playing on the speakers and instead starts playing on the phone instead. Meanwhile, radio in the car still shows it's connected. Even pushing next on the player moves to the next track. JBL Flip, wake up phone audio stops on speaker continues on phone. Motorola Bluetooth headset, same thing, wake up phone audio comes out of phone.
Why in the world would it do that?! Didn't do that with the Note 3.

Music Stops when power button pressed?

Anyone have any info on this?
My old Orbit2 used to continue to play music through HTC Audio Player as well as Windows Media Player however now if I tap the power button to put device into sleep mode the music pauses.
Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure of Orbit as I do not own one.
But all the WinMo device I have are behaving the way you describe in TD2.
There is apps inside or 3rd party which you can just switch the display off (not the power off), So the device is not off but the display off can save you a lot of battery.
Yeah, I got an app touchlock pro that turns the display off.
Just a bit annoying that I had the problem on the orbit 1, was fixed on the orbit 2 and now the problem is back on the topaz.
Still its a minor thing I suppose - Rest of the functionality seems great so far
Just a little update on this if anyone was interested.
Upon further experimentation I have discovered that i using my bluetooth headset for music playback i can now lock the phone by holding down the end call key and then press the power button to turn the display off whilst maintaing music playback.
Not sure if this works when using a wired headset but it did not seem to work just playing out of the speaker minus the headset.
My D2 continues to play music with the screen off using both coreplayer and windows media player.
EDIT: I thought I would double check - strange, today it stops the music! I know for a fact the other night I was listening to music and the screen was (almost) definitely off. I will investigate further.
EDIT2: I thought further and I know it was playing music with the screen off. I know this because I was happy that the volume buttons still worked.
I just did some checking.
When the headphones are plugged in the music continues playing when you turn off the screen and the volume buttons continue to adjust the volume.
Without the headphones plugged in the music stops when you turn off the screen.
Thanks for that, not actually used the wired headset before but what you have said is correct. it is a shame the same method for bluetooth stereo wasnt implemented or perhaps its just my bluetooth headset. looks like might have to get the wired headset out for a bit.
Hey, is there a way to skip songs with the headset we got?
i never noticed this until today.... how annoying, i just finished loading up my new microSD.
If anyone has a fix for this, please post
Thanks!
Mine appears to be fixed now when using my bluetooth headset or the wired headset But still stops if playing through the phone speaker.
I use a Jabra BT8010 bluetooth headset, and the music continues to play after pressing the power button. The music is shut off if playing through the phones speaker....this is the same as my previous phone (htc TYTN II)

[Q] Headphone and Bluetooth Audio Weirdness

I'm wondering if anyone else is having strange behavior either with Bluetooth audio or headphones. The phone is AT&T stock rooted 1.26.502.10 with unlocked bootloader and CWM. Here's a brief summary of what I am seeing:
When listening to audio books using headphone (Audio Book Player app) when I place the phone in my pocket in a locked state, it will wake up and dial the last number. It seems like there is a pocket sensor that is tripped and initiates a call. This can repeat itself several times. The dialing attempt tends to terminate itself if I don't intervene in time. I have not been able to reliably repeat the behavior in a predictable manner.
For bluetooth audio music (paired with an up-to-latest Ford Sync system) there is inconsistent behavior when using Google Play Music. Sometimes everything is fine. Sometimes on-screen (car side) audio controls will not work. Sometimes it will skip to the next song after possibly 10 seconds on the current song.
This is driving me crazy. If I don't figure it out, I'll throw on a custom ROM this weekend,
Thanks!
I have not had any of those issues so unfortunately I cant be of much help. The one problem I have had is that I have a bluetooth headset that also does media playback, which I always disable when in the car because my car does not do bluetooth and I want the audio to go out the headphone jack. Everytime I disconnect the headset it rechecks the "media" option on the headset and my audio plays from my headset and I have to go back to the bluetooth options and uncheck it. Very annoying.
Looks like it is a hardware issue. I can replicate by turning or wiggling the headphone. Problem appears to be in the headphone jack.

I have experienced the song skip as well. I can't successfully recreate it, but it always occurs when I'm on my motorcycle. At first I thought it was the headphone control being depressed, but I have eliminated that. So I think it does have to do with vibration/movement of the phone somehow.

Try putting pressure from various angles on the headphone plug as well as pressing on the case in the corner where the headphone is inserted. Much weirdness ensues in a very repeatable manner.

Hmmm...nothing happening when I do any of that.
I found that the wind across the microphone is somehow triggering the skip, for me anyways. I use the headphones that came with my One and I simply placed a piece of tape over the microphone. No more song skips.
Very strange as nothing is activating the voice control in the first place.

[Q] Bluetooth issue when switching apps

I am having an issue with bluetooth when I switch from one app using bluetooth to another. Basically, when I am either listening to music or podcasts and then take a call the bluetooth drops out for about 2-3 seconds and the phone goes into speaker mode. This doesn't necessarily happen when going from the music or podcast app to the phone call, but after the phone call, the bluetooth drops out and I can hear the music or podcast playing on the phone's speaker for about 2-3 seconds before my headphones pick up the signal again.
I don't believe it is the headphones since I have used them extensively with 2 other smart phones with no issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Anyone else with this issue?

Bluetooth music streaming problems

Hello, I have a foxl bluetooth speaker and when connected through bluetooth, music plays fine for almost exactly 5 minutes. Then, the sound cuts off. On the phone, it still shows that the song is playing and that the bluetooth connection is live, but there is no sound. Sometimes changing the track brings the sound back but not often. I have also turned off power saving features and turn off teh WiFi and it still does the same thing. Please any help!? I have a nice speaker, but cant use it.

Bluetooth audio bug.

I've been having a weird bug with my bluetooth
My nexus is stock unrooted. I have the bluetooth paired to multiple devices but I notice it when connected to my Scion xB (2012)
When I get in my car, the phone auto connects and starts playing my music from google play, or my audio book from Smart Audio Book Player. Every once in a while, the phone will be playing the media file but I will get no sound until I tap the volume button on the phone and then it magically works.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have weird problems sometimes where my physical volume keys wont change Bluetooth audio at all.
ill hit volume down, and it will pop up on the screen and ill turn it all the way down, but audio volume doesnt change. Ive had small BT problems on every android phone ive ever owned.
this is one of those things where apple is crapping on us.
