I use bluetooth streaming in my car and whenever I change track or pause/resume music, my phone screen wakes. This is really annoying as it is a waste of battery (my main power sucker) - the whole point is that I don't have to touch/look at my phone while driving. I cannot understand why this would be done and surely people who use bluetooth headphones know what I mean.
Anyone have any idea on a fix, I cannot find a useful reply anywhere!
In case anyone cares, I have found a way that is better than nothing using the app 'tasker'. If my phone is connected to my head unit and the screen wakes up without sensing anything on the proximity sensor - the phone immediately re-locks. This means it will only flash on and I don't have to manually lock it again (or wait for my long timeout). If I want to use my phone I just put a finger over the sensor when waking the screen and it allows me to unlock like normal.
BT wakes display
On my Z3 Compact, after phone connects to car bluetooth /BMW professional/ it everytine turn on screen. My previous phone Z1Compact did not. After connected to car, the screen remained off. Is there any fix for this waking screen caused by connection between phone and car BT? Thank You for any answer

Anyone else experience this? I have had it on FM radio, Music player and Google Listen, they just randomly stop for no reason. I had a similar issue on a Desire S so might be a 2.3 issue
Yeah if you have motion turned on, the FM radio and other music functions will turn off when you turn the phone over. Simply go into Settings, choose Motion and make sure the option called Turn Over is unchecked if you don't like the feature. I personally don't like it myself as my phone moves around a lot while listening. If that function is not checked, then you may have a problem with your phone. My guess is that its turned on though. I turn off all motion as I find it may chew the battery a little more plus I never use any of the tilt or panning features
Has anyone had any issues when using both the cardock and a headset? I received both for Christmas and the behavior of the phone seems inconsistent. Once I have paired my phone and put it into the dock, I have inconsistent issues with
1) Using the "Calling" button to make calls
2) Long-press on my headset (Jawbone Icon) doesn't actually pull up the voice commands prompt
3) Voice search won't enable.
Also, when I take my phone out of the dock, sometimes I have to really work at getting back to my default homescreen and out of the Car Dock. Numerous back, home, screen offs, to get it to go back.
I've never used either the dock or a headset before, so I might be missing something basic. Any help is appreciated.
I have the dock and connect to my Stereo via BT with no issues. yea, sometimes it takes a few seconds for the phone to realize it is no longer in the dock and go back to my home screen, but I find that if I just dont touch anything once pulling it out it switches on its own faster.
as to your bt issues... never had them. by bt's only flaw is that every once in a while it unconnects from my stereo and I have to reconnect.
also what ROM are you using? Locked or unlocked?
I just purchased a bluetooth headset (LG HBS700) and now Im having a stuttering issue when notifications come in.
I never had this until i connected the headset. If the screen is on the notification is fine and plays normally, but when i have the phone in my pocket with the screen off it happens. I have tried switching notification tones as well as switching to a different ROM and the problem is still there.
Has anyone else had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it?
I had a similar issue with TuneIn radio. Listening over WiFi was fine while the screen was on, but the music stuttered when the screen shut off. Seems like it limits the amount of power received to that particular radio but not sure. I don't have my phone on me but are there any power saving features for Bluetooth that can be altered?
Thanks for the response. I think you misunderstood tho.
Its NOT the sound coming from the bluetooth device that is the problem, it is the notifications coming from the phone. ie when i get a txt msg or an email, when my phone is alerting me.
I searched but couldn't find any advice, so apologize if it's been covered. When I go to bed and put my watch on my charging pedestal, I get this damned "Ding!" sound that most of the time wakes up and pisses off my wife. Does anyone have a way of disabling this without blanking out the audio file?
I remember this was done before previously on another device where the sound file was tracked down and you just had to overwrite the file with a silent audio file of the same name and format. Unfortunately if that requires rooting the device, I haven't done so yet and trying to avoid it ( i have no problems doing this on my phone as all my phones have always been rooted).
Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading.
As the charger seems to always not want to connect, I prefer to have the ding sound to indicate it connects. Before the marshmallow update, it would vibrate which was fine.
You can mute the ding sound by turning the media volume down in the settings on your watch.
You can download a watch face that allows Tasker (Or AutoWear) and then use Tasker to set a profile to mute the media volume during specified hours. No need to root the watch and you should be good to go.
Putting the watch into theatre mode will mute the ding, just double tap the crown button, plug it in, and if you want it lit up overnight just hit the button again ?

Hi, I have found a problem when my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth handsfree system and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions because I've tried everything I can think of.
Basically, when I initiate a call from the car the phone screen will light up and display the wake screen but the phone will not wake up and so the call is not made. If I manually wake the phone up first and then initiate the call from the car the call is made with no problems. Rather more bizarrely, if I initiate a call the screen lights up but the phone does not wake up or make the call. However, If I then immediately make the call again while the wake screen is still displayed then the call is made and everything is good.
It is almost as though it is not waiting long enough for the phone to fully wake up before giving up. My previous phone which was a Jiayu S3 did not have this problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this.
