Bluetooth Connected - No Sound - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hey everyone,
I've seen a few mentions of this issue but would like to have a thread to specifically discuss it and maybe find a resolution.
After pairing a bluetooth music device for the first time it will play just fine.
Come back some time later, the device reconnects automatically but no sound will play (even though your music app shows that the track is playing).
Turn off bluetooth, or just disable media streaming for the device, turn back on/reenable and sound comes back.
This is an extremely annoying issue that wasn't present on my last Android 5.x.x device. I'll forget about it until I'm driving and then have to wait until I stop to safely restart bluetooth.
Please let's keep this topic reserved for this specific bluetooth issue. If you have a different issue please start another thread.
My device: Spring LG G5 (LS992) on 6.0.1
Notes so far:
Simply restarting the phone doesn't fix it.
Unconfirmed - Happens only after switching bluetooth devices (going from your car, to your home stereo, and then back out in the car). I switch vehicles a lot for my job.
Suggestion here is to clear app data for Google Connectivity Services. Will try today.

Like mentioned in the other topic I might have the same issue on my Nexus 5 (2013) with Android 6.0.1 and parrot carkit. How is your Bluetooth volume on the phone when you start playing music? To me it seemed to be worse when Bluetooth volume was muted actually.

I have the same problem. Came from a G4, which worked fine playing pandora in my car. On my G5, I start pandora on the dash app, it opens on the phone in accessory mode as normal. Everything looks like it's playing ...dash shows what's playing and all, but no sound. I haven't tried the restarting bluetooth/media audio on the bluetooth device settings, but I'll try that after work to confirm it's the exact same problem.

I have been experiencing this issue on my LG G5. I have phone audio, but no media audio. The car display shows whatever is playing on the phone, including the time code as a song advances for instance, but no sound. I have checked in bluetooth settings to ensure both phone and audio are on. I've disconnected and reconnected. It did work 1 time, but that's it. I've had the phone for a little over 2 weeks and its fully updated.

I have the Same issue in my car, everytime i need to disable/Enable Bluetooth to get Sound working.

Bluetooth has been the one problem I have with this phone. I lose connectivity to my Moto 360, my headphones need to be unpaired before I can use them again, it's seriously driving me nuts.

I am having momentary phone audio cut out when using my car BT. The radio will come back on for several seconds and the the phone will come back. I am wondering if the VoLTE function might have something to do with this. I have disabled VoLTE so I can test it although I really have no clue if it is related.

I believe this has to do with having 2 devices connected. The 1st will act as phone connection and the 2nd as audio only. The phone might think for some reason you still are connected to both or you actually have a lot of range in one of them and remains on.

Disabling VoLTE resolved my problem.

First of all let me say that folks are reporting different issues with Bluetooth. Mine was that when connected in my car I would lose phone audio for 10 or 20 seconds repeatedly. The radio audio would come back on and after a while the phone audio would come back.
VoLTE, as I understand it, allows voice and data simultaneouly. I disabled it on my G5 under settings/call/VoLTE. Once you disable it you will no longer see "HD" displayed in you dialer links. My problem resolved completely. I called T-mo this morning and cancelled my replacement handset.

If you disable that, you lose Band 12 in America on T-Mobile, which I need since I drive through some pretty backwoods places where Band 12 is my only way not to switch to Edge.

VoLTE may not even be your related to your problem. I would try disabling it just to troubleshoot.

FYI still having to turn bluetooth off and on very often.
It does only seem to happen when I connect from one device to another i.e. I listen in my car and later that night I use my bluetooth speaker. Phone thinks music is playing on the speaker but no sound from speaker. Turning bluetooth off and back on fixes immediately (after reconnect)

I have Sony xperia z3 and only use Bluetooth with one device and have the same issues. Only started with 6.0 upgrade

I have the same problem on my H850:
When I turn on my headset, it will show "connected to call audio" in Bluetooth settings (my bluetooth is always on due to my Pebble smartwatch). No matter how many times I turn on and off my headset, it will always only connect to call audio, despite the option "use for media audio" being activated. If I unpair it and pair it, it connects to both for this one time, before going back to the previous behavior. If I turn bBluetooth off and on again, it will connect to both call and media audio again for this one time before returning to the previous behavior.
Since it's the intl version, there is no VoLTE option.
Is there a way (settings or using an app) to fix this and force the phone to connect media audio every time?

I have the exact same issue, except that I have an android wear watch.
My only solution so far is disabling call audio for the G5 in the Bluetooth definition, but that really sucks.
Have you found any solution?

This is a known issue with LG G5 and the sad thing is that LG doesn't have a clue. Unpairing and repairing is the only solution until Android 7 upgrade. I went as far as resetting to factory defaults, T-Mobile even replaced my device..same issue. **** SOLVED WITH ANDROID 7 ****

I still have the same issue with it showing as playing with no sound and it continues happening even after the Android 7 upgrade. Issue is intermittent, restarting phone or headset or disabling and reenabling BT are only solutions I've found so far. I confirmed the vol is on high on both device and receiver.
Happens on my Kia Soul, Sony SBH50 and SBH52. The only BT devices I don't seem to have the issue with is my old MW600s, so it may be related to BT version on the headsets. May be related to switching devices sometimes, but I've had it occur when using only one device, but having made a call, or left range with the headset away from my G5. Calls still have audio but Stereo/Media BT profile doesn't operate, even though both ends make it seem as if it does.
Thanks,
Peter

MW600 connection problems

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, MW600 was working as expected. But at the moment, I've got connection problems. Is anyone experiencing anything similar, or do you have any tips?
I have tried restarting both the phone and the MW. The radio function works perfectly. I have tried renaming my phone.
Here's what I'm doing:
* Turn on MW
* Turn on bluetooth on phone
* Search for units -> pair the two units using code 0000 (starting from scratch, just in case)
* Phone states that MW is connected to phone and media sound
* If mediascape is playing, I hear ~1 second of media sound
* After 1-3 seconds, MW makes a sound (5 descending tones) -> the phone briefly states that MW is connected to media sound only -> the phone goes back to stating that the two units are paired (no connection)
What do you think?
Mine doesn't do that, so it's quite odd.. Do a full reset of the MW600 (manual here: turn off, press and hold down power until pairing indication appears, press power and call buttons simultaneously until headset turns off), delete it form the phone and try again. There's no reason for it to do that.
I found the battery life to be a bit short....10 minutes of streaming music and it shut off, all this after overnight charging.....I have repeat this 'issue' Friday night, Saturday and Sunday only to have MW600 dead at the office now
My runs 12-15 hours! Without any Problems.
Same, I can use mine for at least 4 days (about one and a half hours a day) before it needs recharging - are you using the right charger?

You press the buttons on the MW600 itself, not on the phone. Read the manual that I linked to, it's all in there.
hmm anyone else have problem with the ringtone playing thru the mw600? when the phone rings. i can hear it ring on the bt headset. but it's like play a bit.. then i hear a beep.. then it plays a bit more.. and beep it's like intermittent
The beep means, that the headset is changing from the mediamode to the telephonemode.
Update... The problem above came back. If seems related to using bluetooth and wifi simultaneously. Whenever I'm using BT and enable wifi, BT gets a lot of problems and usually shuts down. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also, in the past I could use the buttons on the headset to change songs etc. That doesn't work anymore, even after resetting the headset etc. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Update... Problem keeps coming back. My supplier suggested that BT and wifi might interfere. I'd be very surprised if a "smartphone" cannot play music over bluetooth and surf using wifi at the same time. My supplier promised to check it out and get back to me... That was ~2 weeks ago.
Is ANYONE else experiencing the same problem? Can you listen to music over BT, then enable wifi, connect to a network, and keep listening to music over BT?

I have wifi on 24h/day and most of the time i don't have any problems but sometime they get disconnected and i have to turn off/on BT and everything runs fine after.
I will have to try without wifi
Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WiFi) both uses the same frequency space (~2.5 GHz)
Most of the times Bluetooth should be smart enough to adjust the frequency to co-exist with WiFi devices.
If your area are crowded with other Bluetooth devices and WiFi access-points, the Bluetooth set might having trouble settle on one quiet frequency, and might just sit there trying to switch frequency all the time, never finding a good frequency to settle on.
To help those poor Bluetooth devices along the way, try to change the WiFi access-points channels to create a free channel where the Bluetooth devices can settle on.
Also check if your WiFi access-points have a "Co-exist with Bluetooth" option, and enable it. It will however reduce the frequency-width and therefore the bandwidth slightly on the WiFi, but Bluetooth devices should work with less interruptions.
Connection problem with s60
Hello!
I have an MW600 as well - using with an s60 symbian nokia (6650 fold).
It works corectly when using in bt mode and listening music from the phone, but it alwways lost connection when turm the handsfree to radio. When listening radio, zthere is no connection, no way to get the calls or answer.
Do somebady have the same problem or somebody know how to solve it?
I did reset on mw600 and paired again, but i have the same problem.
á
i haven't had any problems with my MW. i always stream music from my pc via wifi to my X10, then to my MW via BT, witch is connected to a Reciver for party.
have you tryed restarting your MW after pairing.
My problem with this headset is that it doesn't:
1) caller name not displayed on incoming calls
2) Music/Mp3 tags not displayed on lcd (using Poweramp)
3) why does the phones itself rings not the headset just some beeps. Embarrassing when phone rings and then answer on headset.
Resetted but not solved any problems.
Wildfire running Wildpuzzle 0.8 with kernel 4.1 overclocked
Ok I m using mw600 stereo bluetooth headset with CM 6.1.3 V4.4 rom for 2 days now. The pairing is easy but the issues that I am facing are;
* phone has crashed/rebooted couple of times while pairing/ unpairing.
* besides first fact, it pairs without any problems and very easily.
* I have used it with mixzing and doubletwist media players. In both cases the music lags and sometimes the lag/pause is about 2-3 seconds long.
* incoming call shows phone number only, no contact name.
* voice dialing works.
* when I m listening to music or not listening to music on incoming call the headset converts to phone mode fine but after the call is finished, the headset doesnt reverts back to media mode that is, the music doesn't plays again and I tried connecting and disconnecting again but only way to make it work again is restart the headset.
* battery is so far ok for the headset. Infact I runned out of my phone battery while I was trapped in underground and listening to music.lol
* even the headset is connected, if I play youtube video, the sound comes from the phone speaker. In order for it to come from headset I have to play some music from using my headset controls and then play the video and then pause the track. This also happens with music app aswell sometimes. Like the headset is connected and if I play the song using my phone, it will play through phone speaker and I have to pause it and play it using my headset controls in order to listen through my headset.
So far its oki but its annoying the laggy music thing. It only occours in music playback, I spoke to my mate on phone for couple of hours using this headset and both ends could listen loud and clear.
i also paired it with my inspiron duo tablet and its working flawlessly....so anyone have any work around of the above mentioned problems? anyone facing the same problems? is it because i am using custom ROM? i am ok with the headset not showing song tags and stuff but music being laggy is not acceptable...because thats what i bought it for!
Any help would be much appreciated?
thanks

Z2 D6503 Bluetooth Connection Dropping

Hi all,
Having some issues with my z2 bluetooth dropping. Very strange.
I can connect my bluetooth on the z2 to any device without issue ( namely my 2013 Hilux), however, after 40s, my bluetooth will drop, and reconnect withing about 2-3 seconds, and start the cycle again, on and on forever. I am not sure why it does this? It happens when i just leave it connected and do nothing with it, or when i play music too.
The interesting thing is, if i receive a call, i will be able to speak with someone for the first 40s, then the bluetooth will disconnect and reconnect (all in about 2-3) seconds, and after that i will not experience any more bluetooth drops for the entirety of my journey, either through leaving it there connected not doing anything or playing music. Very strange.
Ive tried turning, stamina off, wifi off, nfc off, etc but nothing seems to change it.
Does anyone have any insight on this? Its like the bluetooth on the z2 is requesting something from my other devices, and when it doesnt receive it, shuts off, then as my bluetooth is on and recognizes my paired device is nearby, reconnects straight away. If i get a call as ive mentioned, its like whatever the z2 is looking for it just ignores it and keeps the connection regardless.
Happens to me in my 2014 MB. It's definitely something sony is doing wrong with their Bluetooth. I never had that issue with other phone brands (Samsung, HTC, Moto).

Ahh so not an isolated case!
I have no issue with my Note 3 or my older HTC One. Its strange. I remember reading something about Bluetooth 4.0 requesting a device descriptor or something descriptor (my bluetooth knowledge is a bit lacking), could it be that thats what its not receiving and hence dropping out? Surely there must be someone on XDA who knows a workaround for this issue.
I have the same issue with 2011 C-Class and Z2 drop out constantly and turn it self off.
The Xperia Z fix seems to have fixed the issue and will auto reconnect, but it is still annoying with the temporary connection drop.
Anyone know if this will be fixed in firmware update?
Ive found that 4.4.2 has alot of base module issues
You will have wait for sony to update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 or 5.0

Any idea when the update will be out?
Extremely annoying, even with the Xperia bluetooth fix, the BT fix app will constantly come up with connecting/reconnecting messages.
Almost unusable in the Mercedes...

I turned off the Bluetooth media functions and enable only the telephony features, seems to have stabilized...
I have BT music streaming problem too. Z2 connects to pioneer deh-x9600bt car radio, but the songs keep skipping every now and then. I have tried every possible settings, changed memory card, tested spotify and deezer and problem still exists. HTC phones working without issues in my car, so must be something to do with Sony.
edit: running 4.4.4 existenz currently, but problem has been from the start
any update to this issue? Just bought my Z2 and I am also experiencing this Bluetooth "skipping, jumping, dropouts" every minute or so while listening to my Chevy Volt bluetooth audio. I am on 4.4.4 but am considering downgrading it to 4.4.2, root, and check out other roms to see if problem still persists.
fixed!
found a fix!
1) install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.xperiabluetoothmediafix&hl=en
2) open app, check the BT connection that have stuttering / dropouts
3) restart phone
4) wait for message box to appear momentarily to say "BT XXX reconnected" or something to that effect
5) test it out and....???profit!
update: perhaps I spoke too soon. A week of using the app this BT connection dropouts still appears at random. Rebooting the phone is what usually fixes it. I wonder if the bluetooth stack would fix it...can it be replaced in the phone kernel?
well I did more experiment with it this morning. Little background info: My car has bluetooth audio for phone, stereo, and message. The phone is C6503 with .167 firmware. These are the result to see if it fixes the stuttering:
1) toggleing bluetooth on/off: no
2) toggleing throw (audio cast) on/off: no
3) disable auto throw in throw setting: no
4) restarting phone: yes (but AVRCP would stop working; i.e. can't skip track from car. Also notices option to read text message was gone)
5) delete MAP profile in bluetooth setting: yes (seems to work for the rest of the ride...stay tune)
So if you don't mind not able to have the car read your text, this is the fix.

Bluetooth Speaker Popping

Loving the phone so far, but I'm sad to say while connected to my Sony x-7s wireless speaker, I hear a Popping sound about every 15-20 seconds.
I jumped over to my old Note 3 and played the exact same file and the distortion vanished, so I know it's the phone.
Anyone else getting this or know of a workaround? Hopefully it can be fixed by an update.

I'm having the same problem with my V10. Tried it on a Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth speaker. On WiFi and cellular. Problem does not go away.
same here, only difference is that it happens to certain speaker and not the others.
I've tried on 4 different bluetooth speakers that I have, and on one of them it would sound absolutely horrible and distorted. Tested the same speaker with Note 4 and boom beautiful sound.
I'm lucky that the adapter that I use in the car isn't affected.
Bluetooth audio reminds me of the original OG Pro, which sounded like an over compressed files being broadcast over AM Radio. That problem persisted until it got the KitKat update.
I suspect it has something to do with LG overlooking the need to differentiate compression/bitrates for aptX vs non aptX devices. Its definitely a major letdown, but one likely to be fixed.

streaming on my aptx receiver in the car is perfect, it actually sounded a lot better than my note 4. But yeah, on the cheap portable bluetooth speaker...not so much.
I have the Verizon LG V10 and occasionally hear the popping when connected to my Bose Soundlink III, and cheap BT speaker at work and in my truck (2013 Ford F-150). But what is even worse, it randomly "stutters" on all three as well all the time! I noticed today in my truck that every time it stuttered, the "play" and "pause" buttons flashed on the touch screen--kinda like the phone was telling it to pause and then play very quickly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this? Any ideas to fix? Other than this pretty major issue, I am lovin' this phone! Thanks for any help!

The stutter is killing me as well. I have yet to pin point the exact cause to it, but this is quite unacceptable for a hexacore device.
I use poweramp btway, and I've tried increasing the buffer etc to no avail. At first I thought it was only struggling when google map is running in the background, or when the list of apps are full. But I've tried clearing all recent apps, even without anything in the background it still stutters.
I hope someone figures out what's wrong. Coming from note 4, I'm a little disappointed with all of these random quirks that frankly is unacceptable for a flagship device.

My problem occurs with Google Play music streaming as well as downloaded playlists; the stock LG app with the LG that came with the phone and streaming Pandora. And occurs whether connected to my Bose SLIII, my truck or SoundPal speaker at work... I've tried clearing all recent apps, restarting the music app and restarting the phone... none of that works... Very disappointing and sure hope a fix comes out from somewhere soon!

so I finally rooted and hard reset last night. Two things that I've changed now:
-Unchecked the NuPlayer option under developer mode
-Installed Viper4android
so far...no skipping yet!
So maybe you can try unchecking the Nuplayer option to see if it helps. Also, I suspected it could be some other app like AdGuard that I installed before I rooted. I don't have that anymore since I'm back to Xposed.

I'm on Verizon so rooting is not an option... yet... I'll try selecting the AwesomePlayer instead of NuPlayer and see if that makes any difference. Thanks!
I just switched to awesomeplayer and it seems to be working better, but it's still being a little weird.

I spoke too soon, the issues are coming back again now.
I noticed that the audio will start popping when data is flowing. e.g. when a notification is coming in, a text, an incoming whatsapp chat, a movement in map, etc.
this is frustrating.
Google Now Voice Settings
So I had this problem appear about a week ago, and then I tracked down what I changed. Try disabling Bluetooth Headset in the Google now voice settings. I turned it on hoping it would make OK Google detection better with my head unit. It didn't, it just made the audio pop every 3 seconds.
TL;Dr turn off Bluetooth Headset in Google now - voice settings.

Yeah, turns out it only reduced the issue, not removed it. I don't understand why it would suddenly appear for me. Worked fine for 6 months, had the Marshmallow update for a while now. Suddenly one day it starts sounding like crap.

I usually reboot when it gets really bad, then it'll be good for some time before it starts popping like crazy again.
Again, this is not a new issue for LG. It's been reported since the day of G2.
I am having the same issue ATT LG V10 not rooted, Google voice Bluetooth headset settings is off. I have the problem when listening with my jaybird headset or 2016 Honda fit, mostly with Google music and beyond pod whether audio is downloaded or streaming. As a Samsung Note user for many years this is disappointing and debilitating!
I cleared the cache for all apps, and the skipping went away. I'm going to see how long it takes before it comes back.
Yeah, had this issue with my LG G3 and now with this phone. Not sure how LG can continually use poor Bluetooth chips. Other devices work fine but this one pops so often, it's painful using my Bluetooth headphones or speakers. It's sad cause I love the amp on it when listening wired.
Fixed (so far) my Bluetooth problems by disabling (check the box) battery optimization on system apps. My solution post http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/marshmallow-blue-tooth-problems-solved-t3409943/page1

Bluetooth streaming Audio - car stereo

Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

tried that, still no joy
I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in the first song. ?
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10. when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.

Bluetooth Audio issue

Asked a question a while back about the issue with Bluetooth audio cutting back to the phone speaker, is there a fix out for it yet? If not, do Huawei know about the bug?
Thanks

I have this little problem with my new Huawei.
(I have a Mate 10 Pro, couldn't find a section for that specific model)
Whenever I connect it to my car or Bluetooth headphones, the audio from my phone will randomly switch from my car speakers or my headphones to the phone speakers. The only way to get it outputting audio through the Bluetooth device again, is by reseting my Bluetooth connection. However, it does this every time and its driving me insane.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Can't help with a solution I'm afraid but I get the same on BLA-L09 C782, firmware 131. It sometimes refuses to connect to anything until I switch into airplane mode and back.
Other times it will connect fine then switch to loudspeaker almost immediately - even though bluetooth still says it's connected (and the play/pause button works on the device). It seems fairly random and reconnecting a few times gets it to work for a while, but it's annoying when it happens while driving.
My guess is that it's an audio routing issue, so most likely a software glitch.
Has anyone switched to a treble rom and still finding the problem? Or has anyone noticed it has gone with a later firmware update?
