Hi,
i have a problem with the notifications when headphones are plugged in. When i receive an email/message etc the headphones go quiet, i've always found this normal because my music is dimmed to let me hear the notification sound.
today i came to realise that the music is not actually dimmed. it actually stops output via headphones and uses the loudspeaker instead. this is probably annoying for other passengers on the tube.
anyway to change that so it stays on headphones? or do i have to wait for an update?
can others check if they have the same problem please?
thanks.

This horrible bug has impacted the stock firmware since the gs3 was released. CM sort of fixes it so it definitely isn't a hardware issue. I called Samsung to complain and they told me it was a feature. Funny, because all it ever does is cause problems. My HTC devices work fine with headphone notifications... Also you may notice that if you have your headphone connector plugged into your aux input in your car, AND Bluetooth hands free, that stock firmware will require you to unplug the cable while driving to hear the sound over Bluetooth. Another thing that HTC got right and Samsung failed on.
Samsung failed big time on this. I discovered this stupid bug when I had just received my S3 and had the headset plugged into it while working in the office. Every fcking time I got a message/email/notification the phone speaker would go off and after 4th time or so of the notification sound going off, colleagues at work got pissed and told me to shut the sound.
I had no idea why it did that, when I have the headphones plugged in I expect the phone to be completely silent. Apparently Samsung disagrees
Anyways, I found a fix and it's called SoundAbout, available in the playstore. You can set it up so ANY sound comes exclusively out of the headphones when they're plugged in. I ultimately switched to an AOSP rom because the app requires a service running in the background, which takes some ram. my i9300 was already at it's limits with free ram so this was a trade off, but with the i9305 this shouldn't be a problem at all.
Really don't understand why they don't fix or opt to make this a feature. Also, all the samsung based custom roms here also seem to incorporate that bug/"feature"
I have the Smartwatch and Smart wireless headset pro paired to my Xperia Z. I have noticed a couple of issues.
Smartwatch:
Disconnects quite a bit and requires me to swipe up on the watch screen to make it reconnect. I would say today it happened 30-40 times in a 10 hour period. Haven't had any issue with the watch like that on any of my other devices. Anyone else had this happen? Smartwatch is running the latest firmware.
Smart wireless headset pro:
It paired fine to the XZ and seems to work without issue. The thing I have noticed though is the Throw icon will pop up in the notification area and allow me to toggle between phone and the headset, or at least appears that way. If I change it to the headset via the throw function nothing changes. Sound continues based on how I have it setup in the bluetooth headset settings. Even stranger is if I disconnect the headset by turning it off the Throw icon will still be there. When I open it the headset will disappear from the options and when I go back to the home screen the throw icon is gone from the notification area but will return some time later again showing the headset even though it has been off that whole time.
Not sure why the throw options would show up if they won't change how the audio is handled or why it keeps showing up after I have disconnected the device. Anyone else with either of these accessories having any issues?
It could be a jellybean issue.
Those of us in the Nexus 7 forum had issues with bluetooth with jellybean, audio lag, skip & disconnects.
Seems to be much better after the latest jellybean update.

Didn't have the issue with my TL running the LT30p JB update though.
And tonight I unpaired the headset from the phone completely and turned the headset off. The phone still popped up the throw notification and had the headset listed there. This was after a reboot too.

My Smart watch randomly disconnects to, sometimes it works for hours no issues other time disconnects every 2-3 mins, again both running the latest firmware.
Also when i restart the phone liveware/ (Smart Connect?) FC`s a couple of times before it settles.
The smartwatch works perfectly with my note 2, thought it would work just as good or better with the xz seeing as there both sonys. Strange

Hi all
I have been trying to sort out this problem for a few days now and cant seem to come right.
When I make a call from my Phone, it defaults to BT headset and send the audio to the Gear.
Normally this would happen if the call originated from the Gear but is happening with every call made, from Gear or Note3.
Is there a setting on the Note that I am missing, that defaults bluetooth headset, because I cant find it.
Can anyone help me. It only started happening once I flashed null_21, and now I am on null_22 using a stock Note 3.
Even when I answer the call on my phone it defaults to Headset, wtf. This is driving me insane
Might end up going back to stock if I cant sort this out. At least it worked then and battery wasn't draining so fast!
EDIT: Okay finally figured it out. It was Voxer causing the problem. The bluetooth setting in Voxer was enabled and this caused it to default to bluetooth in the phone.
FINALLY SORTED!!!!!!!1
Something I noticed today while driving was my Bluetooth audio would cutout every few minutes. It only happened on my Nexus 5 with an alpha ROM, but was fixed later. Anyone else notice this?

On the new moto x? No, I just had a couple hour car ride with zero issues listening to Play Music and Slacker Radio. Made a few calls, no issues either.
This happened to me on a 20 mile bike ride. Horrible having choppy audio for almost a few hours
I just noticed this too. I do have a Moto 360 as well so maybe that is messing with the blueooth? I have gone a couple car rides and it's perfect, and others it's really choppy.
This does seem to be a problem with me too. Sometimes perfect and sometimes not. When connected to Bluetooth I notice that Google maps speaker goes in and out as well as moto voice while driving
I can confirm that if you have a 360 this is the cause. You can verify this by disconnecting the 360 through wear and the problem going away. For now what I have due is set up an IFTT to disconnect wear when by car's Bluetooth is connected.
I actually don't have anything else connected via Bluetooth and it still happens to me.
I figured it out. I was driving and I turned off Bluetooth completely and the voice worked perfectly. As soon as I connected back to Bluetooth the voice got choppy again...
I looked over in the Note 3 forums, and users were experiencing the same thing. Someone said to listen to music with the screen on to fix it. Today I listened to music with the screen left on and sure enough my music didn't stutter once the whole car ride.
This leads me to think either the processor is getting clocked too low for playing music through A2DP when the screen is off, or perhaps active display makes it stutter whenever it activates. I will look into it further today.
In the mean time, does anyone know of a processor control app that will change the minimum processor clock if bluetooth is connected? Perhaps there is one with a tasker plugin.
I'm experiencing the same issue, really sucks.... I'll try disconnecting the Moto360 on my drive today and see if that fixes it - although I swear I've had the issue before while it wasn't connected.

SetCPU could possibly do this. You can definitely set the minimum CPU clock, but I'm not a 100% whether you can get it to do this WHEN a bluetooth device is connected. SetCPU has a profiles where you can define certain parameters based on conditions.
Of course, before you can get SetCPU working you'll need to root your phone and I have a suspicion that all other CPU clock apps will need root access too.
Has anyone had any luck resolving this?

I'm hoping that either an OTA or Android L will fix this. My Moto X is fine when I'm using my Motorola S11-HD headset, but when connected to my car it goes in and out every few seconds.
So it isn't the processor. So far i have it down to either Wi-Fi or active display. Will report more when i find it.
Turning Wi-Fi off while connected to my car Bluetooth has fixed the issue for me. At least, so far it has.
I'm using PowerAMP for playing music and when I enabled the "high priority" setting in the headphone/bluetooth settings it seems to have resolved the problem until today. This morning on the way from work it started to cut out every few seconds. grrrr...
I have 2 bluetooth adapters in my car, one which takes only phone audio and one which takes phone and media audio, the latter one continously drops and reconnects phone audio (even after forgetting the other device), which makes me believe it is some hardware compatibility issue
I have posted on the official Motorola Forums but I though I should re-post here as well becuase well....XDA fixes things.
So I just purchased a Moto X 2nd Gen Pure Edition as an upgrade to My 1st Gen Moto G. Both phones have the same problem with the Bluetooth Audio sounding like a scratched CD skipping and studdering and it seems to be way worse a problem on the Moto X than I ever had on the Moto G. It's not buffering it happens with music on the phone. It doesn't happen every time I'm in the car but I'd say 50% of the time.
I would think it's the car but before the Moto G I owned a Galaxy Nexus and never had the problem as far as I remember. I'm sure I would remember it's really really annoying. I have even tested with a friends HTC M8 over a long road trip and there seemed to be no issue there. In my car (2011 Subaru Impreza) with the G or X after a time it eventually starts skipping even if it takes a couple hours.
So I did some research before and have tried various things.
I have disabled the Wifi while connecting to BT as Motorola has recommended to owners of other phones. That didn't help them it doesn't help me.
I have removed all other BT devices from the phone while connected. Nope
I have removed the Phone in the profile so my car doesn't try to use it as a phone as well at the same time. Nothing
I have done all of the above at the same time stopped every other program other than Google Music and added the phone to my car fresh and I still have this issue.
During my research about my car the only complaints similar I found seem to come from someone else with Moto phones. I dont' know what they do special with their Bluetooth but it's not helping me out.
You could try to upgrade your car's firmware. Some dealers do this for free, with some cars it is easy to do yourself

This is what fixed the audio in my Mustang with Sync. The Ford dealership did not charge me anything for them to do it.

I haven't seen an app like this so I don't think it exists. Today I left my house and forgot my phone, I didn't realize it until I was several miles away. I know the Gear 2 Neo beeps when it loses bluetooth connection but I didn't hear it. I'd like an app/feature that causes the Neo to alarm when bluetooth is lost between phone and Neo. It would alarm until turned off. Anyone no of an app like this? Doen't it make sense or is it just me. Thanks.
I need an app like this.
I Drive a truck and I often find myself leaving my phone behind and I have to go back I would love an app that would alarm on my Samsung gear to watch to let me know that I have left my phone behind
Mine Gear vibrates (and displays a message) when BT is connected or disconnected as a standard setup.
