HI all,
I can't post in the Dev section yet so I will ask here. I installed this ROM last night and it all went well except for today in the car while testing bluetooth I have no audio unless I switch the source away from Bluetooth and back (say, set it to Speaker then back to BT). I did a full wipe again and re-loaded the ROM and still have the same problem. I am using the .19 radio if that makes a difference and my car has the older (2008) Ford Sync system (2.1).
Is anyone else having a similar issue?

This seems to happen quite a bit. It's a semi known issue from a number of cusom ROMs. Have never seen a solid fix for it except what you just described. Some people have this problem and need to competely turn it off and back on to get it to work! If it truely is a dealbreaker for you (it shouldn't be...not that big of a glitch), best bet is to stick to a ROM closer to the original tbolt software.
Its not that its a dealbreaker but it kind of defeats the purpose of using handsfree in the car when I would have to pick the phone up and switch BT inputs to get it working. I had a low Bluetooth volume problem with a rom before which was fixed with, I think, a different radio but I never had this one before. I noticed someone else posted the problem in the official thread so hopefully comes out if it. Thanks.
So this happens every time u get a call, or only every time you connect to the car?
I haven't received any calls yet while connected to BT but it happened when making calls and it seems once I do the toggle to get things working then it "sticks" and works thereafter. I haven't tried reconnecting while in the car to see if the fix would stick afterwards but this morning when I got into my car I tried making a call and it worked great first time and I know I rebooted the phone multiple times last night with doing backups of the rom, etc. Maybe it somehow worked itself out or maybe it's just an intermittent thing. I didn't change anything since the install.
i have flashed back to 10B several times, updated to 23b three times and every time i have my bluetooth skipping, while listening to Pandora or any music really in my truck. Just want to know if i am alone on this one or is anyone else experiencing it. If i pause the music for a few seconds, its plays, then stops, like its buffering. Any help is appreciated.

I believe I've seen other people mention bluetooth issues in another thread in these sections, but I don't remember exactly where. Search for bluetooth and maybe you'll find it, hopefully easily.

After doing a little troubleshooting, I've narrowed it down to just the radio in my truck..every other Bluetooth radio I have works fine. I'll wait till we get a final OTA I guess..

You Know i am also wondering if the issue may be coming from what version of bluetooth those other devices use i know that my alpine in my car uses v3.0 of bluetooth and it has the issue but the i home speaker i have no skips at all.
I have the same problem with my Pioneer AVH 4500Bt in my MDX. What is funny is when my wife and I were in NYC yesterday, I had her sync her IPhone 6 to my radio and the problem continued. I played my phone with a pair of Bluetooth headphones today with no skips. This problem is weird.

The radio in my truck is a Pioneer FH-x700BT...plays my M8 on lollipop fine, but something with this version on the G3 doesn't agree. Hopefully the next OTA fixes something

Finding this post has finally convinced me to sign up and participate. Long time lurker...
I have the same problem and have been working on hunting this down.
I have a pioneer deh-80ors receiver with the vs985.
On 12b and previous bluetooth works great but everything after that introduces the problem.
The audio plays normally for 15-45 seconds regardless of the app used, then drops for a second, plays for a second in a hurried mess and repeats until the receiver is restarted or bluetooth is disabled on the phone and reconnected.
I have tried a handful of roms for lollipop without success (I do like skydragon though - nice and lean with the termal mod).
If I flash back to OEM 12b using kdz everything works great. If I load an old rom like jasmine 4 it works great. I have tried enabling and disabling all settings from the hidden menu for bt_test with no results other than it occasionally not working at all.
I have read reports of people turning off the call audio from the bluetooth pairing with mixed results, using an app from the manufacturer of the deck (which doesn't work here since pioneer connect was released like two years ago), disabling driving mode (for the S2 and S3), and all kinds of other snake oil. Based on the fact it works fine with the OEM revision up to the one before lollipop leads me to believe it's some problem with lollipop directly. I'm confident it's not the bluetooth drivers or firmware as flashing between major releases resulted in the modem being broken (intermittent LTE) but the same bluetooth issues. That is, unless the BT drivers are built into the release and are specific to each one in which case replacing the new drivers in a more modern ROM with the old ones may work.
The worst part is that most decks don't work with droid devices nearly as well as apple anyway, if we could just plug them in over usb I would be ok with that. Unfortunately the receiver doesn't even see the thing and no manner of apps or settings changes I could do ever got that working either. If anyone has gotten a usb audio connection working (preferably without USB Audio Pro App which is the one that most people like) I would love some input.
Does anyone else have a 2014 Chevy silverado that they can test this on, or maybe any recent Chevrolet with the Mylink software/screen, whenever I connect my LG V10(Verizon variant) via blue tooth to my truck, the mylink touchscreen goes completely black, basically crashing it completely, it finally comes back on about 10 seconds later and says connected, but I get absolutely no volume out of my media, the phone volume is fine for phone calls, but I can't play any music, it shows it playing, there's just no sound, never had this problem before with my Note3 or my wife's S5 or her iPhone 6s
I have a 2015 Silverado and have the same problem. It will connect fine when the truck starts, but the screen does what you describe and the phone dissconnects, then reconnects a couple of times. Might do that indefinitely, but I switched back to the radio when the screen came up. There's another post in this forum that describes what I'm seeing, but in a Honda, so I'm guessing it's a phone thing rather than stereo related, but I could be wrong.
I've also noticed that I can access my contacts through my main screen, but they don't show up on the smaller screen on the instrument panel.
Mine is also a Verizon phone. I hope it's a simple software bug that can be fixed in an update.
ETA: The other poster said he had the same issue with the G4 and a Hundai whn that phone was new. But they patched it, so that's a good sign.

Thanks for the reply, yeah, I've tested it on another 2014 Silverado and also a 2015 Silverado, the same thing happens with them as well, really hope LG fixes this, I can't NOT have blue tooth audio when I'm driving around
Same thing on my zion xb

2015 CHEVY SS with mylink... No issue other than once where no audio would play through the speakers even though the track info was accurate. Restarting the car got it to work. Hasn't happened since.
Oh boy, I didn't see this thread, I've replied in 2 others. I'm having the same problem in my 2015 GMC Sierra. I have the newer "Intellilink" software, but the same EXACT problem with the head unit turning black and restarting. My truck is actually in service right now to see if they can update the software in the head unit. I love this phone, but I can't NOT have bluetooth audio. I'll keep you posted as to what they say. My note 4 and wife's iPhone 6 and 6s all worked with my truck, and with her car.

Do it.. You won't regret it
Other phones are having this problem as well. It's not just LG. The common theme is the new chevy my link system.
OK, update... I just picked the truck up from the dealership. They said they DID have an update for the "human interface" system, whatever that means, however the problem with the black screen / rebooting is still there :/
I might try exchanging the phone for a new one and see if it fixes it, otherwise, I'll have to get a stupid Turbo 2 (gross) or a Nexus 6p
LGv10 Chevy Colorado 2015
I'm having the same exact issue as mentioned above on a 2015 Chevy Colorado...black screen, rebooting and makes and received calls with no issues. Just will not play media audio. I hope LG fixes soon.

Got the SS [emoji1]. Everything works fine except that whenever I start the car it un-pauses Poweramp even when BT is not selected as source. I have the option tuned off in the player setting but still not luck.
Any suggestions?

Hmm.. you are correct. I've seen it do that sometimes with poweramp but I use google play music and it doesn't seem to have that issue. There are some utilities like Bluetooth Auto Connect (or similar) on the play store that control player behavior on BT connect/disconnect.. Maybe try one of those out? Or use tasker to pause music after x number of seconds?

I've got a 2015 Chevy Silverado. It does the EXACT same thing when I pair my V10 with it. Screen goes black then comes back on. I get call audio but no media audio. I see it playing but no sound. I've connected 4 other devices via bluetooth with no problem.

I also have a 2015 Colorado. My screen in the truck doesn't turn black/reboot. But I do have the issue where it says a track is playing but I either have no audio or the audio is playing through my phone rather than the speakers in the truck. I have found that if I wait until the phone is connected and I switch my source to FM and back to bluetooth it forces the audio through the vehicle speakers. It's an inconvience but at least it works. Hopefully there is a fix soon.
Android update fixed
I just did whatever update came down the pipe on my V10 and suddenly this problem seems to have resolved itself. So if you're still experiencing this problem and you have a pending android update. The Android update might fix it!
I have had the same problem the music looks like it's playing but not!, this happened on my lg v10 after the tmobil 6.0 update I love the phone but I can't have the audio music not play I would hate to have to change phones cause the trucks staying
I have a 2015 Silverado but I don't have that problem. But then again I have a different phone (HTC One M8). The only problem I have is that when the phone pairs, sometimes the phone will re-prompt me that MyLink is trying to access contacts/messages. Even though I have the checkbox checked to "don't prompt me again", it still prompts me often. It only started doing this when my phone got the Marshmallow update.
Oh well! At least it is a minor annoyance.
It's an LG thing more than a Chevy thing. I switch between Moto X Pure and the V10 and the MXP works fast and flawlessly. The V10 doesn't. I wanted the V10 to work so badly, I even bought an unlocked international version (in addition to the ATT stock version) to see if that would help. Nope.
EDIT: I have a 2015 Silverado
So I bought 26 LG G4 h810 to organise VR Field Trips using Google Expeditions.
At first I managed to connect only 4 of them. I thought it's perhaps a router. This app relies on WiFi P2P btw. So I changed TP-LINK router worth like 60$ to Asus RT-AC 5300 which is quite high-end. Not much changed as yesterday I had trouble connecting even 2 devices together.
This morning I realised that G4s with Android 6.0 //I received 5 of such// are actually stable and work like a charm together. So I thought I finally have a solution - I'll upgrade the rest - flash with kdz through LG UP and I'm good to go. Well I'm not. The 3 upgraded phones act just the same as they did on 5.1.
It's a funny thing really, to see - 7 phones connected - 2 of them on v5.1,
I connect to this wi fi (5ghz btw) another 5.1 device one after the other, and some of the phones disconnect just one of the other 5.1 device in the network, some of them kick out all the 7 phones. As soon as I turn the wifi off on the newly connected 5.1 phone, all the rest connects back on together.
By kick I mean Expeditions app is reconnecting. Sometimes it goes as far as disconnecting wifi completely, but usually it's more like internet becomes unavailable. And that's btw a funny thing, cause Expeditions doesn't rely on internet connection - the router theoretically can be offline - however when the phones get to fight over wifi (when there are 3 android 5.1 LG G4 trying to connect), notification comes up "internet is unavailable" and with that Expeditions connections are lost aswell.
I spend whole days on it since like a week and am slowly getting frustrated so decided to write to ya not only read.
Yesterday I rooted 3 of the 5.1 phones to get rid of AT&T bloatware and unlock hotspots - it didn't change anything.
I think it's some sort of direction, the fact that 6.0 devices work as expected and 5.1 ones not, but the problem is so specific, that I can't really find relevant information online.
I also compared the working and not working phones today with antutu and antutu officer and it seems they are legit. Had doubt as I bought them refurbished from Aliexpress.
The wifi works perfectly on each of them seperately as I updated apps on them and experienced no issues... As long as I updated max 2 devices at the time.
Am thinking of interference of some sort, or like device id conflict or something... Will probably also try to rename the devices maybe something like confuses the router, I don't know. Please help.
