ok, this has been plaguing me and preventing me from switching permanently to 2.2 since the camera has been fixed.
the problem:
you pair your bluetooth device and connect. media works fine. then disconnect and turn off bluetooth and the bt device. turn everything back on, and media won't play through the bluetooth device.
the cause:
well, i have been using the same jabra sp700 for a few years now. worked great on all my devices (iphone 2g, iphone 3g, dream, various nokias and my x10 up to 2.1). well, apparently 2.2+ android requires a bluetooth device that supports avrcp or the avrcp handling of 2.2+ roms require avrcp to work on the bluetooth device. however, my sp700 (and i would imagine other older bt devices) either do not have this or it doesn't work as android wants it to.
the solution (tested multiple times, works sometimes, not others):
pair and connect, go into settings and disable "phone audio" for the bluetooth device.
kind of sucks since this is my car speaker phone, but i use it for media more than i use it for phone. but i have connected/disconnected several times and media is still playing through the bt and not the phone speaker.
so those who have bt media problems with 2.2+ roms, try this, it may work for you.
will this fix the problem? http://www.foogod.com/android/ ?
it is the same with MW600 headset on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 0.54 ROM.
what happens for me:
both devices were paired in the past and remember each other. I turn on BT on the phone and power on the headset. press play in the music player - nothing plays, it hangs and come back to paused state.
when I press play for second time music comes from headphone speaker.
what helps:
stop the playback at this point. turn the headset off and on again. press play and the music should play through it. with both music headset and phone audio profiles active.
this is how I have to do it every single time. headset works normaly afterwards until you turn the BT off on the phone again. it's just a little inconvenience.
what troubles me more are the short gaps in the playback you get about every minute and when you turn the screen off.

does not work
what about the method I wrote about? I think it is the same problem.
power off/on your headset again when the music starts playing from the headphone speaker used normally for calls. every single time this happens it fixes this for me.

that was working on and off for me. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
i made some modifications to the bluetooth audio.conf, will test those on my way home tonight.
no problems here with my bluetooth and i'm using wolfbreaks' 2.2 rom. i'm using a sony dr-bt50 headphones.
I've been having this problem with my headset too (hbh is800) and I'll try once I get back from home. Hopefully it works. I've tried the foogod link before and it never helped. I've been experiencing the bluetooth problem with my watch too (mbw 150) it connects and later it disconnects. and the cycle keeps repeating.
I have the same problem with dante-fu. I use Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v0.54 ROM and MW600 headset. But turn on/off headset doesn`t help me sometimes and I have to re-pair devices.
I'm too having some problems with my mw600 head set.
Sometimes it does not play through the Bluetooth headset but through the speaker of the phone (it happens rarely)
But the most annoying thing is after a call, my headset just freezes & nothing works expect for the power button. Only solution is to turn the device of & turning on it again.
Using Wolf's 2.2 CM ROM
well, this sucks, i've tried changing all the media configs and nothing.
only solution i can think of is porting the bluetooth stack from 2.1 to 2.2.
back to 2.1 since my bt speaker is the only option for music in my car since my kid decided to deposit $.42 into my cd player.
Blutooth Media streaming problem
Hello,
Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue?
It's starting to drive me crazy. Bluetooth phone calls work perfectly but media streaming works intermittently.
Is there an easy way to replace downgrade the blutooth stack?
I am running CM 6.13
Just wondering if they have fixed Bluetooth Audio yet? Seems to be that in my car it connects to the phone part fine, but when it connects to audio it comes up "BT Audio Device Error" then I have to wait another couple of minutes before it connects fully. One of the only reasons I stopped using MIUI, since I always listen to my phone's music in the car. Only been happening since ICS versions. Or does anyone know of an Alternate MIUI without this problem? Asnet, Etc....
Phone connects with my car fine and also does audio streaming fine. However, sometimes when I make calls from my phone it pauses the music from my car stereo but the call doesn't get transferred over to the cars hands free. I notice when that happens, the bluetooth icon in the phone app changes to a phone with wifi marks instead of a bluetooth logo.
Anyone else experiencing this? I have this issue even with the latest .475
I've spent a lot of time on this, and it's driving me nuts.
I've got a Verizon LG G3, stock ROM (6.0 Marshmallow), up to date.
I'm pairing it to my 2017 Honda Civic with display audio. I'm pretty sure that end isn't the issue, because it works with all other Bluetooth devices.
I can pair to the car just fine. It'll work across start/stopping the car, etc. However, any time I toggle Bluetooth on my phone (turn it off, turn it back on), the media audio sync will stop working entirely. The call audio continues to pair and work, but they won't pair with the media audio profile. The phone only shows "Call Audio" as an option in the Bluetooth settings for the car device, and the car shows that the phone only has call audio.
The only thing I've found that works is to unpair completely (both car and phone), turn off Bluetooth on the phone, go into Application Manager -> Bluetooth, and clear all data and the cache. Then I turn on Bluetooth, and can pair with my car perfectly fine until the next time I turn off Bluetooth.
Oddly enough, this worked fine for a couple of weeks - I had an app (Sony Smart Connect) that would toggle Bluetooth on when connected to power, and off when disconnected. That way, I didn't have to drain my phone battery by having BT on all the time. I've since uninstalled that app while troubleshooting, but it'd be really awesome to be able to use it again.
So, what could be causing this? Are there other troubleshooting steps I can try? I'm definitely willing to spend some time messing around. If I can't figure out anything else, my next step is to wipe and restore the phone. (Obviously, I'd like to avoid that if possible).
Any thoughts?
I'm having a couple bluetooth issues and wondering if anyone else has seen something similar.
1. Bluetooth disconnects completely from car. I can then reconnect just fine, but it happens frequently
2. Bluetooth stays connected, but the audio starts coming out of the phone instead of my car speakers. While this is happening, I can still control the tracks from my car.
I already tried a factory restore, no luck.
