I'm having an issue with my bluetooth audio all of the sudden not working. I've paired to bluetooth devices in my car and Bluetooth headphones and everything was working fine up until this weekend, now I don't get any music audio unless I disable the phone audio in bluetooth settings. I'm running stock Marshmallow and I've went in and disabled permissions for phone and microphone for any app that wouldn't logically need. I booted into Safe Mode and things worked normally but I can't figure out how to isolate a particular app that might be causing it, if that is the problem. I also tried reseting Network Settings in Backup and Restore but that force closes everytime. I Uninstalled all the apps that updated over the weekend thinking an update might have caused it but it's still there. Can't seem to find this particular issue documented anywhere else. Any ideas?
Sorry, should have posted this in Help and Troubleshooting. Don't know if there's a way to move it...
First off do you have the app "gasbuddy" installed by chance? if so try freezing or uninstalling it.
Otherwise you might have to just go through and use something like titanium backup to freeze a bunch of apps you think might be the culprit, if freezing those doesn't do anything then start freezing one by one until it starts working to find it. (This is the way I figured out gasbuddy was causing a giant wakelock for bluetooth on my phone :/)
Also yea this probably does belong in Q&A.
voxer? There's a setting in voxer that breaks BT audio
Try unpairing and re-pairing your phone. My friend had this issue with his N5 and Toyota Highlander.

Does anyone else have a problem with eclipse and bluetooth? I use a bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music and after a few minutes it cuts out and I have to reboot.
I use Bluetooth in my car and it works well. Not sure if its the same for headphones though.
Eclipse 2.0.2
I just sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and installed eclipse 1.3. going to see if that corrects it
I have a bluetooth stereo and I have disconnect issues as well on gbp7...not sure what the deal is, but I think it's the stereo cause the phone shows still connected and the audio doesn't get rerouted back to phone. You don't have to reboot, just toggle bt off then on. Plus the problem is random.
I never modified anything with the bt is why I think it's the stereo, but I ciudad be wrong. Ima try to get a log and see what the deal is.

So far music hasn't cut out...I believe it has something to do with v2.02 or the 2.3.5 update
2.03 is out now...
Maybe that will help ur issues?

Not to bust this, but on my end at least, I know I didn't mess up updating the device.
and the Eclipse 2.0.3 update does not change anything to bluetooth..
But I found the Problem.
By chance do you use Google Music as your default music app?
Anyway, I do and the problem is with that app(or maybe its in another setting which I doubt cause the problem persists on GBP7.)
Explanation:
I use a Bluetooth cd player in my car and I use google music to stream to my stereo. Every now and then I lose sound output on my CD Player(although both show connected). The problem would arise whether it was playing local music or streaming from google music. At first thought it was my phone, then I flashed Eclipse to test it out for a lil bit and the problem persisted. So I moved on to thinking it was the Stereo. Well, this morning I was at work(still am..) and I was listening to my music via ear plugs. I ended up getting a random "stop" although the music progress bar was still moving... I changed songs and still had no output. HERES THE KICKER!! I turned the volume up with the keypad and BAM! the sound started to produce out of my precious ear plugs....
I haven't had time to test this with the bluetooth stereo yet, but the problems had IDENTICAL symptoms, so I'm assuming this will work.
The random MUTE of the app is odd, and very random. Sometimes it wont do it for HOURS and then sometimes it will do it every 2 minutes or so. But for now, try to increase the volume(you can do this while screen is off if using Google Music, not sure about others) and see if it solves the issue for now. I will look into it and test with another music app(probably winamp) and see if the problem arises. If so, then I'll look into the system configuration and see if the problem is there. I know I didn't change any bluetooth settings in my ROM, and I haven't noticed any changes by Nitro in Eclipse. So this leads me to think its an APP problem.
I use juice defender and other custom settings for battery life, but I know for a fact those aren't the problems, so if anyone reading this looks into the issue, the problem is either Google Music or in the system configuration. So don't go looking into Juice Defender or other apps to be the problem.
Disregard...I am blind
Like stated.... It's not another app interfering.... Dsp manager is not on gbp7...

So, I'm having a strange issue with my new Note that I can't quite determine where the root cause may be, or if it's a known issue.
If I register my Note with my car as both a phone and an audio device (how the Infiniti nav/stereo works) I can use the Note as a phone fine UNLESS I start an audio app, such as Pandora. Once a2dp audio starts the Note will no longer connect as a phone device, but it works fine for audio.
I had the phone paired with the stock ATT rom but only used it as a phone, so unfortunately, without a restore to stock, I can't tell if the problem exists with the stock rom.
I flashed to flappjaxxx's rom (which I love) the same day I setup the phone to run Pandora via Bluetooth and that's when I started seeing the problem.
I also see some random connect/reconnects that seem a bit more than usual.
So, I can't say there's a correlation, or if this is a known ICS beta issue or what, but I'm hoping it is and that it's not a design flaw
Way I see it it's either:
1. Flashing to any ICS beta rom has the problem, currently?
2. It's in flappjaxxx's build (doubtful)
3. It's user error...(possible )
4. It's an app issue (ie. Pandora is causing the problem?)
Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or insights? I've done some searching but haven't found this exact issue yet on any posts.
Thanks!
I have a Kenwood DNX9960 in my Avalanche. It connects also for phone and for streaming media. I can be streaming media from either the stock music player or an internet site like pandora or TuneIn and my calls will automatically come through. When the call ends it goes right back to streaming.
It autoconnects to both as long as my phone is in range when I turn on the kenwood. I did have an issue at first where it would not autoconnect. I deleted the pairing from both my phone and headunit. Then when I repaired I paid close attention to check any boxes to "Always" allow connection and I haven't had any issues since.
I understand the normal pairing process, I've had several phones before that worked fine prior to the Note. So, I'm thinking that it is probably a corrupt bluetooth db... I'm going to be reflashing to Flaps new rom and we'll see how that does
Is there a way to delete the pairing from the nav? I would try that

There is. I've tried it all, on both sides of the pairing.
I've reflashed the phone to the B6 from FJ, still no joy. The pairing db was new (so no chance of corruption on the phone) and the pairing deleted on the device.
It seems to be a problem with the phone switching between a2dp and phone bt. When a call comes in (while playing say Pandora over bt) the audio cuts out and then the car shows "disconnected" and then "connection failed" if trying to reconnect to the Note as a phone (ie hitting the phone button in the car).
I'm hoping it's the current ICS build. Just have no way to really know. Hoping some other folks will have seen the same issue.
Going to run some tests with different audio sources and see if the behavior is the same.
Well things seem to be working now, for no obvious reason I'll have to assume that the reflash resolved the issue, I just can't tell for sure why it didn't work immediately after. I think it's due to deleting the old pairing on the car and not shutting down the vehicle.
Cheers.
BT connections
I have similar problem connecting to van audio system (vauxhall). After some experimentation it appears to be an ICS problem, if I reflash my note with gingerbread I have seamless connections for both audio and phone. As soon as I upgrade even with offical ICS bluetooth connections become problematic, I can pair but not autoconnect. Tried samsung and they just "fob off" with it's an incompatable device. Until a bug fix is issued it appears as though it's a choic of staying with gingerbread and have a working system or ICS and no handsfree.
I've been having problems with my car's parrot (mki9100) bluetooth. My Redmi Note 2 seems to pair fine with it, but then it just keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds. It doesn't share contacts, it doesn't work for calls and it doesn't work for a2dp. I've disabled permission management but the issue persists. I don't seem to be an isolated case as there are people complaining about this on MIUI's forums. I'm running 6.7.5 from en.miui.com.
I've tried the usual stuff, clearing cache/dalvik, even reinstalling the rom; nothing helped.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

I was just about to start a thread myself then I saw your post.
Sadly I'm having trouble too. In my case stereo Bluetooth A2DP is awful. I'm constantly having skips and stutters on both devices I have tested so far (a Samsung HS3000 and a Logitech Boombox). I'm currently using the MIUI dev ROM from September 11th. If you're using MIUI 6 then clearly the problem spans numerous ROMs. Poop.
My problems happen regardless of whether or not I'm doing anything else on the device. It also doesn't seem to matter whether or not WiFi or data are enabled.
As a kind of aside, I also can't get my Moga Pro to connect in Mode A. It appears to pair OK but then just won't connect. Searching around for answers, this also something that at least the MiPad suffers from too (since last year!). Looks like Xiaomi has Bluetooth issues full stop.
I like this device, but some of its quirks of both hardware and software are making it more and more likely to end up on an auction site.
I can't wait for a more stock-like rom to be out.
This might be of help to someone: Someone suggested replacing the bluetooth app from /system/data with an older one (needs root).
I wasn't successful in replacing the app. Instructions here:

Thanks for the link.
I tried it too on the developer ROM. It doesn't work (it breaks Bluetooth completely).
A2DP doesn't seem to stutter with music for me after the 17th/18th update. I've only tried a few songs. It's possible that the actual bitrate has decreased though. Apart from the stutters I'm sure it sounded better before. Maybe I'm imagining it.
Briefly tested 6.7.7 and it seems to work! Contacts synced for the first time, A2DP and calls worked. I'll let you know on the audio quality as soon as I have the chance to listen for a longer period of time.
Hi guys,
Found another thread discussing this, but I am confident this isn't the same issue.
Just got an S9+ Snapdragon (SM-G965WZAAXAC) last week.
I ran the debloat from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bloatware-youd-recommend-to-rid-off-t3759500
The next day a Samsung update was presented (R16NW.G965WVLU2ARF7) and installed (this is important since I do not know if the update has caused this issue!).
The issue is the following: Whenever I am playing music via bluetooth in the car (Play music), the audio will stutter every 5-20secs. Restarting the phone or simply turning bluetooth on/off will resolve the issue temporarily, but after a bit it will do it again!
What I noticed was that putting a load on the phone or toying in the settings (performance mode for example) will restart the problem (I tried to see if it changing the performance mode would resolve this).
I looked into the battery saving crap from Samsung and disabled "optimize battery usage" for Play Music, Audio Connection services, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Midi Service and Bluetooth test.
I think the culprit would be a battery saving features, or something in the kernel (governor??) that "reduces" the priority of handling BT communications.
Does anyone else have this issue? Or does anyone have any idea of how to resolve this issue?
I will be doing a full reset within the next few days, but hopefully can avoid it if someone has the answer! Factory resets suck balls when you don't have root (Titanium Backup ftw!)!
Thanks
Hi,
Whenever my phone connects to my car's bluetooth, it will automatically start playing the last media I played. The problem, is that I will go DAYS without ever using media on my phone so I will resume a podcast from last week despite the fact that the podcast app is closed. I notice that even when I force stop the app, I can go into the Menu, go to Media, and still see it sitting there with no way to close it. Also, if I pause the media...after a while my car will disconnect from the bluetooth and then reconnect...which then resumes the media again. Oh, and if I get a notification about something like an email...you guessed it, the media will resume again. This is beyond frustrating because I often like to go on quiet car rides...and again this happens even when I force close the app (podcast, spotify, whatever).
This was also an issue with my S10, but not my Pixels. This has to be a OneUI or Galaxy specific issue. I have seen mentions of this bt/media issue in other boards when searching but the only thing I have seen to semi fix the problem is by setting up Tasker.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue and has resolved it. I am also wondering if there is a way to switch to a vanilla android os ROM so I don't have to use OneUI anymore. To clarify, I have been using Nova, but that doesn't change how the phone handles media.
Thank you for your help.
