Bluetooth problem

[Galane]

Today I tried my Bluetooth headset for the first time since upgrading to Gingerbread. Something has it half broken.

Instead of it saying it's paired with a headset or hands free device, it says it's paired with phone audio and only the microphone works. I get no sound from the headset speaker. Sound comes from the phone speaker on the front. I tried the Bluetooth mic Tester app, can record through the headset mic but sound plays through the phone's speaker.

When I make a call with the headset on, I get no audio at all from anywhere. I can voice dial, which is a worthless joke because it always mis-understands the first three numbers. So I tried dialing a number from Contacts and got no audio.

How do I find out if it's my headset that's gone bad or if it's a software problem on the phone? When I re-paired with the phone, it just did it without asking for the usual 0000 code.

I should try charging my old LifeDrive and pairing the headset with it, then try it again with the phone.

What ROM are you on (if you're on CM7, bluetooth issues are known bugs)? Have you tried completely deleting the headset rather than just un-pairing/re-pairing it with the phone? Sounds like a bad initial handshake between the headset and the phone, so try completely deleting it and then re-connecting.

Same problem here, though not quite as bad. My bluetooth works fine for calls, but when I try to use it with super bt mono froyo to listen to music, I get terrible choppy playback. I know, I know, "super bt mono FROYO" and I'm on Gingerbread now of course, but it works fine when I try to listen to audio from a streaming video site. But get this, it only works when streaming over 3g, not when connected to Wifi. So what gives?

I'm rooted with the "mostly stock rom" that is stickied in the Epic 4g roms forum of this site.

I sure would like to figure this out, because I like to use my BT headset to listen to music. Even though it's just mono, I'm not some audiophile hipster, I just like to listen to the songs.

any other updates? I've loaded RandomRom 3.3, marcusant v1, acs v5.5, GBclean, Legendary RC2.2, and stock-ish MTD, and they all start off well with BT but by end of day pair doesn't work or connection or even seeing the headset.
