Just recently, my S4 decided to stop streaming music/media through my sony BT deck even though its connected via media audio
In fact, I can pause and skip songs using the deck, but it still plays through the phone speaker! when i enable/disable media, it pauses like its going to connect but it doesnt.
Ive tried: reboots, repairings, uninstalled google play music updates (seemed to happen when i updated the new music app)
Im about to go plug in earbuds and see if it debugs it.
update: plugged in headphones and music still coming through phone speaker! anyone familiar with this kind of bug. im pretty stumped
Anyone else having weird issues with their Bluetooth? More specifically, when you play music, the metadata adds some weird 01 or 000 digits in front of the track titles? Confirmed with PowerAmp as well as Spotify. Also having static and hiccup issues with it as well. Thought it was my head unit in my car, but it is in fact the phone since it does the same thing with other cars I've tested this in.
I've been having some issues using it with my car too.
I have a aftermarket radio, but this is the only phone that does this.
When a call comes in the music is suppose to stop. It doesn't i'm getting sounds from calls and music at the same time. I would have to manually pause the music on my phone.
Another thing is, when i turn off the car. Normally the phone will automatically pause or shut down the music app when connect is lost. Not with this phone. it just keeps playing the music after loosing connection with the host.
Hoping there is a update to fix this bug. It's not a big thing but it's starting to get annoying...
Mine works fine except the app will randomly close sometimes. Pandora never shuts off. Only gmusic and spotify does. I actually love how much faster this phone connects compared to my note 4.

I haven't notice any issues yet and I use bluetooth 3-4 hrs a day. I use iheart, Poweramp, PlayerPro.
I'll start looking for problems now
I have own my Galaxy S5 since Nov 2014... and I have own my car ('14 Camry) since Dec 2014. The whole time since I own my car, my phone has been paired via Bluetooth with my car. I haven't had any issues until maybe starting a month ago.
Every time my phone connect to my car's bluetooth, Google Play Music starts playing music from my phone (music and ringtones) on my car. This haven't happened before and I haven't changed any settings on my phone or car.
I have tried googling to find a solution to not have my phone play music every time it connects to my car, but I haven't found anything besides "Check the BT settings in both devices". I have looked through the settings both on my car and within google play music and under bluetooth and I don't see anything that indicates playing/stopping music upon connection.
So I am wondering if anyone on XDA have a solution? Unsure if it matters, but I am on kitkat and I am rooted.
So I have a Ford Edge with a bluetooth receiver where I can play music, as well as some headphones, and I'm having intermittent issues when using this type of playback. The issue doesn't occur with my partner's Note 5, does anybody have any issues with stereo bluetooth? I'm close to writing to LG about it so they can log with (possibly) other reports for the same issue.

Just today i had issues with mine, i have one the parrot devices on my car and it picks up my iphone right away but i tried for about 2 minutes to play music from my v10 and it wouldn't connect to it, someones it connect right away its very off and on. I didn't try to unpair it and re-pair it though.
Am I reading that right, are both BT devices trying to connect at the same time? If so I had sorta the same problem in my Audi. I sometimes had to toggle Bluetooth on and off to get it to reconnect. But what I did was go into the Bluetooth settings for each device and specifically select the profile I want to use for that device. So for Audi MMI, which handles the phone calls, I selected the profile "Call Audio" only. Then for my headphones I selected the "Media Audio" profile only. I just figured that if two BT devices are fighting for the same profile only one is going to win it. And it seemed like it was a toss up which one got the call or media profile first.

No, you are not . However, allow me to clarify that the devices I mentioned are having issues on their own when using the V10. One incident is with my car's stereo, if I'm lucky, the audio will hold or it will decide to be a douche and start getting choppy with 1 second gaps.
Also, I'm noticing with the WiFi that my signal is horrible, but my partner's Note5 is perfect and super quick. I really really like this phone, but these issues are a bit annoying.
I have problems with my car stereo too. When I get in the car, it will connect automatically and start playing like normal but only for a minute or two. Then bluetooth will disconnect. So, I turn bluetooth off and on and, it will stay connected after that.
I also have a bose bluetooth speaker which doesnt have any problems.
I just found this thread after posting to the rom thread I am using...
I am having a minor annoyance with Bluetooth and media streaming.
When the phone auto pairs to my cars stereo head unit (Kenwood KDC-BT762HD), system sounds/calls etc come through the car fine, but not Media like music, videos etc.
Phones says it is paired to Media and the head unit does show the song info and I can control the app via hardware buttons on the unit, the phone acts as if it is playing, but no sound is heard. I have to turn bluetooth off then on or re-pair and then it works fine. I thought it was just the music app I use, but its any apps that play media like music or videos, including Pandora and Youtube.
I have 4 varying bluetooth headphones and they auto- reconnect to the phone just fine with no issues.
Anyone else having a an issue like this with any of their car stereos? My G3 never did this.
Known issue

This is a fairly known issue to specific cars.

Also, I have a gmc canyon 2015. I have the same issue. I stopped using my car's bluetooth , I now only use aux cable. Amazing in 2016 and I still have to use aux cable. I am looking to moving to one plus 3 because of this issue. marshmallow also brought gps bugs on top of the bluetooth one.

I don't think its a MM issue or a vehicle specific issue (and i have an aftermarket stereo head unit) I have not had this issue with any of my other MM (or LP)devices I have tried with the radio. I have a spare LG G3 and a Moto X Pure that is running MM that is running MM and many of the mods and same apps I use on my G3 and now V10, again, no BT issues.
I am not having any disconnect or not pairing issues at all....just the odd thing that the media sounds don't work unless i disconnect/then connect the phone to the head unit when I get back into the car and power up and it auto pairs.
My folks have a much more serious issue with their 2015 Ford Escape and Ford Sync and their Samsung S4's they both have. Phone pairs and works fine once, but then the mic acts like its muted, no one can hear u, even if u un-pair the phone from the car, the phone itslef no longer outputs sound at all. You have to reboot the phone in order to get it to work again. It did it when the phones were on Android L and still after the MM update. Web search finds many folks with same issues in regards to that issue. (which is not the issue i am having at all, infact, their phones work fine on my car).
I found a work around for my issue. Since i simply just needed to disconnect and reconnect the BT to my car's head unit, found a widget that does just that. A2DP Connect2. Car auto pairs, i tap widget once, disconnects, wait a few sec, tap again, connects, my media streaming now works fine.
Still a annoyance, but much better than having to navigate menus and such.
BT issues fixed with update to 20j.
I can confirm that the annoying Bluetooth media stream issue in 20e, where you had to re-connect the phone or no media stream....is fixed in 20j. Auto connect works perfectly every time now on my Kenwood head unit.
Hi,
Bit of a strange problem here - I upgraded to Marshmallow yesterday (using the voda rom) and then did a full factory reset (inc data), and everything has gone well so far as the upgrade. Set up as a brand new phone and started installing apps.
When i try and play audio over bluetooth to my car though, I can only make it work using the built in/stock Samsung music player. Aside from the fact this app is terrible, this means that I can't listen to podcasts (via Pocket Cast, or Pocket Bean) or play anything with Poweramp/amazon.
The Samsung player however works fine - when my phone connects to the car it starts playing the Samsung themetune (default track loaded on to the phone) and I can skip through to any other local media. I've done a bit of testing...
If I have the Samsung player playing, and then press play in pocket casts - it will pause the Samsung player, but I get no sound at all. If I then press play again on the Samsung player, it will pause pocket cast, play about 2 seconds of the podcast over bluetooth, and then immediately switches back to the Samsung themetune.
I've tried Pocket Cast, PowerAmp, Pocket Bean and the "Big finish audio player" and they all have the same issue. It's driving me mad - in the meantime I have resorted to downloading the MP3 versions of the podcasts so I can listen to them on the way to work, but its far from ideal.
Any ideas? This all worked fine in lollipop. Considering trying to downgrade as a result
I use Bluetooth headphones and PowerAmp exclusively, so this would definitely stop me upgrading to MM.
Can anyone else confirm?
To add a bit of further information (and maybe reassurance CitizenLee) - This only appears to be an issue with in-car bluetooth (tested with the Jaguar InControl system I have, and also a colleagues BMW IDrive). When I test with his Plantronics BackBeats, or my AV Receiver's bluetooth it seems to work fine.
I wonder if its related to the specific bluetooth profile being used, not really sure. Worth noting that I also have an Android wear device connected but I have tested with/without my watch and get the same issue.
