I've got a set of Audiofly Bluetooth headphones that work fine but I note that when I go to the choose headphones type under sound settings I can't seem to choose anything, they are all greyed out. Any ideas how to fix?

This may have been talked about before but my search didnt come up with anything so i thought i'd ask
i have a sony bluetooth headset and when i make and recieve calls it works fine
when i listen to music it comes out of the speaker on the phone
i guess this is a known 'problem' .. is there a setting somewhere i need to set
thanks in advance guys
To get standard audio thru the headset it has to support Wireless Stereo otherwise it will only work as a voice command/phone unit.
If you have a BT headset such as the Promate PM-2006 (which looks like a small pair of headphones with a mike) when paired to the phone it will show two profiles, 'Hands Free' and 'Wireless Stereo'
To set up audio thru this headset you go to 'Settings' 'Bluetooth' 'Devices', hold the stylus on the paired device you want to use and select 'Set as Wireless Stereo from the small drop down menu.
yeah i have both wireless stereo AND hands free selected .. thats what was confusing
Just to be sure...
You need to select both profiles when you first pair it.
But every time you want to listen to audio through it you need to go and select it for 'Wireless Stereo'. The phone then connects to the headset for that purpose.
Hope that's clear.
cheers .. i'll take a look at that ..
seems a bit crap tho eh??
Same on all windows devices, you have to tell them to play the audio through BT whereas a phone is listening for a headset.
True, a quick connect button would be much more help and I am sure if you search around you can find one.
ive got a paitr of motorola ht820's they just automatically pair up and sort out the myusic and calls when i turn bluetooth on however, they dont play nice when wifi is turned on
I just got myself a new bluetooth headset (Jabra 8040). This model allow stereo music streaming as well. The problem i face is that once i pair the bluetooth, the ring tone and sms tones goes direct to my headset and does not ring on the pda as it normally would.
My question....is there a software that allows me to decide if i want it for handfree or for listening to music. I know i can do this via the settings in bluetooth but that is just too many steps.
I'm not sure if what i ask above is understandable cos i honestly cannot figure out how else to ask this question. Any pointers would be great. Thanks
When you pair you should get the option for headset and audio streaming.
Just select audio stream and it shouldn't send the phone calls to the headset.
Cheers

That's the thing....when i select audio streaming, both music and ringtone & sms tone goes to the headset. If i select handsfree, then it works like a normal bluetooth handsfree but i don't have the option to use it for audio anymore.
I'm hoping to have a program or something to select or enable audio when i want to listen to music & then disable it and use it for handsfree when i don't want music.
If you go to Settings > Connnections > Bluetooth you should see the profile for the device. Click on it to edit and you will see two options, One for "Wireless Stereo" and one for "Headset". Make sure only the "Wireless Stereo" is checked and then click Save. This should do what you want, but I have never actually tried it myself. If it does not work, it may be the device you are pairing (some seem to work better then others). May someone who has tried this with another model can confirm it works correctly.
The part I am not sure about is where the sounds will go. So in the mode, music should go to the headphones, but what about alarm reminders, or along the same lines, the ringtone. I am not sure. I think there will still be some sounds that go to the phone speaker and I think the BT Audio CAB in the Latest CABS sticky can be used to toggle this, but there is little info about it in the post. If you are interested in using it, you may want to search and see if you can find more info.

Totally correct, adding to this, when you select 'Wireless stereo' It routes all sounds that would normally come out of the main speaker to the headphones (rings and notifications) audio in a call is either internal or external earpiece under 'Hands Free'. It does this so that when just listening to music, you do not miss a call or message!
If you only want music, put the phone into flight mode (nothing at all) or go to sounds and notifications and have all your incoming (calls & messages) set to vibrate only.
Hope this helps also.

How above the performance of Jabra 8040? Any sound skipping?
Thanx for the reply guys. That is what i want. Currently YES i'm able to toggle between using the bluetooth as a handsfree or for music via the settings->edit. I'm just wondering if there is a simple way like via a software which i can just tick and untick to either enable handsfree or music?
The Jabra 8040 is good. I like it and no i don't get any sort of skipping while listening to music. I would recommend this unless of course u are a hardcore music person. I'm not....it's only for once in a while sort of thing.
First time I have used a bluetooth headset with any device and here is my problem .
Paired the headset to the kaiser everything ok and getting great sound with music and calls , but the problem is if i turn the headset off and back on sound is re routed to the speaker until i go into the bluetooth settings and re select the " set as wireless stereo " option
is there a way to make this connection happen automatically once the headset is turned on ?
I've got a Verizon tab and am trying to connect to a Bluetooth headset so I can make video calls with Fring or something else with a little more privacy than using the speakerphone.
I can't get the tab to find the headset!
I have successfully paired with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and the Jawbone Jambox. While the audio out on the Jambox works fine, the built in mic does not work for speakerphone calls with the tab either.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Refer to the headset menu to perform a hard reset on it (on a nokia headset this done by simultaneously pressing power and action buttons till it alternates its LED between red and green). Activate the bluetooth on the tab and make it discoverable. In bluetooth setting scan for devices till the headset appears.
Same Issue

I have a TMobile tab with the same problem. It connects to my btooth antenna, but not my two btooth headsets.
My headset bluetooth also facing the same problem. I read the manual and it say i have to press the answer button for more than 8 second as a hard reset to the headset. Later my tab can detect the headset.
You should read the manual and try to do hard reset to your headset
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Can't seem to find out how to reset the headset. Nothing in the manual or Google (it's a Samsung HM1100).
It's weird - the Astro Bluetooth network shows the headset in its Bluetooth explorer but the GT will not even see the device to pair to.
Firstly you open bluetooth under setting, wireless & network. Press scan for bluetooth. Result, it will not show any bluetooth found. Press back button once only. And again open bluetooth setting. Then you will see all bluetooth devices already detected.
This is a bug. I happen all the time to me.
Please try it

Still No Luck.
Hi XDA-ers!
I have a lovely Moto G5S Plus phone (XT1805 -- the dual SIM model), which is pretty darn good. However, one issue I am having is that it no longer connects properly to my UE Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker, and so wont play music via that speaker I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, and is able to offer suggestion on how to fix this?
This is what I've tried:
1) "Hard resetting" the Boom 2 speaker, by holding down the power button and the volume down button until it makes a funny beeping noise. This resets the speaker back to its factory state
2) Doing a "Network settings reset" on my Moto G5S Plus, via Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Network settings reset. This, apparently, clears stuff to do with Wi-Fi, Mobile data and Bluetooth. Indeed, I do need to "re-pair" my Bluetooth speaker (and re-enter my Wi-Fi password, etc.) once I've done this.
3) Turning off "Bluetooth location scanning", via Settings > Location > (...) > Scanning > Bluetooth scanning. This, apparently, also does something to help with getting the Bluetooth stack working OK.
Having done the above, I re-pair my phone to my UE Boom 2 speaker. The pairing is only "partially" successful, in that the devices do pair, and the phone shows a checkbox to confirm whether the speaker should have access to my contacts, but it doesn't show a checkbox to allow the speaker to be used for "Media audio". It seems as though the phone simply isn't recognising the speaker as an A2DP sink.
I have successfully paired my phone to another A2DP sink -- a Bose Mini SoundLink -- and that works fine. I have also paired other devices (an HTC One M8 phone, and a Dell XPS 15 laptop) to the UE Boom 2 Speaker, and these can play music via the UE Boom 2 speaker. I just can't get my Moto G5S Plus to play music with my UE Boom 2 speaker
Would doing something such as capturing the Bluetooth HCI snoop log, via the Developer options do anything to help?
I'm more than open to hearing your suggestions.
Many thanks,
Jon
