Hi,
I have the following problem:
Everytime I pair my Samsung Galaxy SII I9000 with my car (Renault Fluence 2012) and its built in bluetooth System, it says that it's correctly paired (and honestly it doesnt even take a minute to pair correctly), but it plays no music. It just has no sound (even when the song is playing correctly on the phone) but everything else just works perfect. I mean, i can control the music (songs, playlists, etc) from my car, but the sound just wont come out. The only way to make it work is to 'unlock' the sound by calling someone. So when the call starts, then the audio starts working. That is, so far, the only way to make it work. And i have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME that i turn on the car or that the device stops being paired with my car.
It does EXACTLY the same thing with my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S305), so I realized it was my phone. I have tried other phones with my car and they work just fine. I have tried other things with my headphones too (like my Psvita) and they work smoothly.
The weird thing about it, is that my phone used to work perfectly fine with both things, and just a random day it decided not to work anymore.
I used kies and re-installed android from 0, and that solved the problem for a few days and then it all started again. I have tried cleaning all the bluetooth devices that my phone is paired with. Going back to factory settings in my car, removing the battery on the phone, resetting the phone, taking everything out (including the sim card( everything. And nothing seems to work.
Please, help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII with Android 2.3.6 (it came with 2.3.3 and i upgrade it twice through kies) I have never rooted my phone or done anything to it, except for upgrading Android through Kies.
Thanks so much!!!

Wow... That's very strange. First off, I'd be looking at compatibility issues. Do you have the BT specs for the car? Maybe they're the same as the headset and not quite 100% compatible with the phone.
Another possibility (although remote) is that the headset and the car are fighting over which gets to talk to your phone because phone services are much different than A2DP (Audio).
You might just have a flaky BT antenna in your device, or a bad (stock) modem/baseband.
I'd try rooting and see if a different modem/baseband clears up the issue. Then at least you'll know what the deal is.
Hey, I also found this on the Renault web site... http://www.renault.co.uk/bluetooth/default.aspx
>> Why does my telephone not reconnect to the system when the vehicle is started?
- In order for your telephone to automatically connect when the vehicle is started, it may be necessary to activate the automatic Bluetooth connection function on your telephone with the hands-free kit. For details on how to do this, please refer to the instructions manual for your telephone.
- Upon reconnection and if there are several telephones paired within the hands-free kit reception area, it is the one that was paired last that will be connected even if it is outside of the vehicle.
So it looks like it might actually be a Renault AND a Motorola problem.
There's also a list of compatibility files at the bottom of that page based on the system you have.
First of all, thanks so much for your help.
The problem with whats going on with my phone, is that it used to work just fine before, with those 2 things (my car and my headphones) Its not like they never worked, they used to work completely fine with my phone.
And i never use them together, like my headphones have never even come close to my car. And since i thought that it could have been a problem with they 'fighting' with each other, even if they werent close, i erased all the cache on my bluetooth settings and unpaired all devices that were ever set with my phone.
So its like if i had never used bluetooth. That obviously didnt work either
It turns out that your car likely keeps up to 5 phones in memory... Is there a way to clear the phone list in the car as well? Then re-pair from scratch on both sides?
well either the blueth is defect or ur doing some wrong settings,root ur device there r plenty of bt apps tht work more powerfull than the default...y possible ur car mus hav a reset buttun for bt so delete all pairs frm phone an reset ur car bt,,,,then start fresh.....hope it helps
I restored my car's settings and deleted every phone paired. That didnt work either... I also tried with a friends phone (iphone 4) and that worked completely fine...

Time for a warranty replacement I think.
Jeez... thats exactly what i was trying to avoid, because my cellphone company will have me waiting for like a month without my phone and will give me in return the ****tiest phone ever while they try to fix it and then realize they cant.

thanks anyway for your help!
Hello ladies and gents,
I've had the LG G3 for a while now, and I'm loving it, but last week something weird happened - music no longer plays through the bluetooth device. Instead it plays through the speaker of the G3. I haven't tried calls since then, but I HAVE:
Unpaired, and repaired the device
Paired a different BT device, audio still plays through phone speaker
Verified that the phone is set to play media over BT
Tried toggling phone and media options on the G3 while conected to the device
Tried toggling phone and media options while unconnected (but paired)
Tried pairing from the device side
Tried pairing from the phone side
Tried soft resetting the phone
Tried hard resetting the phone (battery yank)
The only thing I haven't tried doing is factory resetting the device, I just wanted to check if any of you had ideas before I do that.
Update: Factory reset did solve the problem, but a simpler solution would have been to uninstall the conflicting app (Cisco Jabber in my case).
Are you on stock or using a rom? If rooted and using a rom, which rom/kernel are you using? Using my backup of skydragon rom and his 2.9.4 kernel my bt plays all media through the earpiece.... Its also playing fine on my test rom I'm playing with. Could be the rom or kernel your using. If you're stock then It's possible its something else.
I'm running stock OS, I rooted and later unrooted it, but that was a while ago... It was about two weeks after the last Verizon OTA update I think.
In that case I'd try factory reset or even try downgrading to the previous firmware and see if that makes a difference.
Ugh... Embarrassing... Cisco Jabber is what breaks BT in my case. As soon as I run it, all BT starts malfunctioning. Factory reset gone to waste.
It was TeamSpeak for me. Too bad I needed that one.
I updated and paired with my Xperia-z3V, and was extremely pleased that I could call with it.
I unpaired and paired with my other Xperia z3v and calls wouldn't go through the watch speaker. It simply dials through the phone itself.
To unpair you have to factory reset. The 2ND phone has all the same apps of the other one.
I powered everything down, powered back up, did the factory reset again, still not ankle to make and take calls with the watch.
Wondering if this isn't a simple fix I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated.
Open the Phone app on the watch itself and grant permission to make phone calls.
Every permission is granted. Power cycling, even another reset. Still the same. Acts like it did before the update. I can dial with it, but my phone comes on and all sound goes through it. The speaker works when I set the sound on the watch settings. Very frustrating.
Use the phone app on the watch to initiate the call.

Yes, of course I am.
This seems to be a Bluetooth issue. I repaired it to my other phone and it works, but I can't find any settings on the phones that are different.
What makes me think it's a Bluetooth issue is that, while paired to the second phone, when I try to call from the watch, the outgoing call screen pops up on the phone and the "Speaker" option flickers between speaker and Bluetooth device for a second. It always reverts to the phone, but just to the regular phone ear speaker.
It's actually paired and functioning properly with my work phone, which is what I need it for. But it's just frustrating not understanding what's wrong.
On the watch... go to settings/Bluetooth and toggle on 'play phone audio on watch'.

Yes, this is checked on both Sony Xperia Z3v phones. Now Nisbet phone works properly to make and take calls. It'll do the command, but voice still defaults to the phone. Often when I receive a call I'll simply grab the phone and answer, but the watch will continue to ring.
Look on your phone side (Xperia z3v), go into your settings and then Bluetooth. This should list all devices paired with your phone. Look at the entry for your Asus Zenwatch. Does it show connected for call audio? Compare what the Bluetooth settings say on your working z3v verses the on that doesn't work. Good luck.
I'm having the same problem. In the bluetooth settings of my iphone 6splus it shows Asus Zenwatch 2 connected when I click it just has option to forget device nothing else.
Having the same problem. Watch's only bluetooth option in settings is scan for nearby devices (which finds none) or unpair device. On the phone's side (Nexus 6P) in my BT settings, it only shows "use for contact sharing." Watch doesn't tell me there's a phone call. Pretty useless IMO. I'm a week over returning it too
Hi guys, Does anybody know why I got a message "unfortunately message+ has stopped" while trying to setup calling feature. Any ideas?
No audio on watch only on phone

I found another bluetooth device that had "Call Audio - on". I selected "off" on this device and "on" for the Zenwatch2 and now I get audio on watch and can make and receive calls thru the watch.
Still no success. Anybody found a solution?

I previously had a Zenwatch 1 and now a 2. Trying to make and take calls. I did all above but still could not get the watch to make calls. It just make the call on the phone. Anybody found a solution. "Phone Audio" is enabled in Bluetooth settings and Phone Audio enabled in watch too.

EDIT: NVM, not it worked, i check everything in the settings of BT and everything was ok, i unticked and tick to see, and did a restart. Tried a few attempts to make a call from the watch and nothing, switch the sound off and on, and now is working thru the speaker of the watch with the option of phone in the watch. I just hope for google to implement a button to switch from the watch speaker to the headphones or wireless headsets
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
I have an Amazfit Verge international model A1811 running ROM 3.2.3.0.
The watch was working perfectly until yesterday when I realised that I wasn't hearing any notification sounds. I checked the sound & volume settings & nothing was muted. To confirm I had my wife call me & during the call she could hear me but I couldn't hear a single sound from the watch's speaker. The watch has never gotten wet in the circa one month I've owned it.
Apart from this the watch is a perfect replacement for my PACE & is fulfilling the purpose I bought it for ie fitness tracking.
Can any one help me figure out what is wrong with the watch before I try and see if Xiaomi Pakistan will honour the warranty of Xiaomi UAE?

When i calling to someone straight from watch i can heard it as normal call, if someone calling to me and i answering - i can't heard it, in caller phone at this moment is still ringing sound. This is probably update 3.2.3.0 issue/bug. Amazfit reported about it. As i saw Amazfit enough fast fixing problems, when was problem with double tap on screen probably update out very fast about 2 week later. So wait patience before you will do something extreme with yours watch like brining to authorized services Also try restart yours smartphone and see is any problem with Amazfit Watch app, version 2.7.2 after reboot of smartphone force closing, in screen is warning about that. Sometime restarting notifications permission and ect. Need to add it again. I already updated this app to 2.9.0 which you can find in https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huami...ase/amazfit-watch-2-9-0-android-apk-download/ and all problems with that gone. I am sure it's issue/bug of software, so if you can straight from Amazft Watch app (i using android) report Amazfit about this problem too, coz if will be more report about this problem, Amazfit faster maybe will fix it
if all of your tests are not working, try to factory reset the watch first
Did a hard reset as soon as I noticed the problem.

This is Amazfit update issue/bug. Amazfit must to fix that with future updates
the sound bug was fixed in the latest OTA of the Verge, the cracking/distorted sound
Turned out to be an unrepairable hardware issue with the speaker. Received a replacement today & so far so good.

Probably yours problem was different as mine. I can listen music, to talk when i calling from watch to caller and others sounds is available, just when calling to me and i answering from watch i can't heard caller which still heard ringing sound. That's happen after update.
