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!
My Nokia 920 is paired w/ 2010 toyota camry. I can't seem to play more than one song in the music player while in bluetooth paired mode. I have about 900 songs in the phone and whether I am playing randomly or from a playlist, the first song plays over bluetooth just fine, and then it gets stuck. On the phone, the next song is diplayed but the timer doesn't go anywhere (stuck at 0:00). On the car display, it seems to count up to 4-5 seconds (silence in the background) and then resets to 0 and this happens repeatedly. I can't play another song and the only way seems to be resetting bluetooth. This is definitely a bluetooth problem because w/ a headset the music plays jst fine. Any solutions?
I have had similar issues with Sync in my mustang. Do you have any cloud songs showing or just the ones on the phone? I think I have had fewer issues with My Nokia music playlist than the Xbox music playlist.
I have restarted car, phone. bluetooth. On mine if radio is off it can still connect with bluetooth to phone and receive calls. So have to turn off on phone. It will show connecting as two things. First is phone then music. When song stops hitting next doesn't work. So i go to phone and try another song. Is hit or miss then since there is a delay if the song is in the cloud.
I have a Volvo V50. Bluetooth issues are known for the pre-portico update.
If that is important. Try and upgrade the phone. This made the connection to the Volvo stable and usable.
However.. A big warning is due tough. The portico update made my phone incredibly unstable. So I would not recommend it.

Bluetooth issues like this is still happening on portico 920. It's quite annoying to have to keep pushing pause and then play after every song to hear the next one. If anyone's got a fix, I would give them an e high five.:highfive:
Any fix for this yet?

I have paired my L920 to a multitude of A2DP capable bluetooth devices, none show this issue. Here's a small list of devices I paired it with:
1. Plantronics M155 Headset
2. Digitus DA-30114 Headset
3. Alpine KCE-400BT Bluetooth receiver for my Alpine Headunit (car)
4. Skoda built in Bluetooth (car)
5. Volvo built in bluetooth (not sure which model it was, it was a friends car, pretty recent though, maybe 2 years old)
6+7. Two different random bluetooth receivers from ebay
8+9. Two different random bluetooth speakers from ebay
OS Version 8.0.10211.204
Firmware 1232.5957.1308.0004
Hardware rev. 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.0.202093.3
Chip SOC 8960
I'm using a Blueant Commute and a Jabra Drive, both do it.
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
Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in the first song. ?
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10. when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.
EDIT: I just had this issue with a Jaybird X3 wireless earbuds. So it's not the BMW's issue. Any new ideas?
Hi! Wonder if anyone's encountered this issue and have any idea how to fix it.
Whenever I make or receive a phone call while in the car, the audio will ALWAYS come out of the phone's speaker instead of through the car's bluetooth. I can see the "in-call" screen on the phone and it says that output is BT. I have to push the BT icon to turn that off and on again and the audio will now go to the car. Every single time.
Tried un-pairing and pairing again, tried rebooting the phone. Nothing. Only does this with the car (BMW 3-series, 2017), all my other BT headsets and my wife's car work perfectly fine.
Any ideas?
P.S. I'm very aware that this may be BMW's fault, since they're dicks and suck at software development. Still, if anyone has an idea, it'd be very welcome!!
Hmm, I do not have this issue on my F32 and S9+ Snapdragon. Have you tried factory resetting the phone and iDrive to clear out any other pairings or non-default settings? It is a pain to set everything up again but will be the quickest way to determine if this is an issue with the iDrive. Next would be trying an iDrive update.
How do you reset iDrive? because I'm noticing that it's not syncing all the contacts on the phone... prefer this to doing a factory reset on the phone (paaaainful!)
Bumping because new information added
Haven't gotten any calls while using my Jaybird, but in my Corvette call audio comes through the car speakers, not the phone. Same in my wife's Honda.
Something to look at: When I'm connected to the car BT, there's a notification from Samsung's Smartthings app that I can tap and choose whether audio goes to the car, or to the phone. Might be worth checking that.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to remember your selection from one session to the next.
Hola
I use a X3 daily for both work and my workouts. When I drive to work or so I connect to my Toyota Highlander ('17) and thus far absolutely no issues with phone calls. Mind you I make A LOT of calls all the time so I would be peeved no hell if I had such issues. Like mentioned above, resetting your phone might be required. Please keep us informed if resetting does help. Thanks.
No issue with my BMW and I have jaybird as well but only uses it for songs
Well, crap. Will have to reset phone and report back.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE: Factory reset worked!!!
My guess is that when I moved from the S7 to the S9+, I used the "Smart Switch" app. Something must have transferred over that the new phone didn't like. Took me 2+ hours and it is a pain in the ass, but now I can use my car's BT and the X3 earphones to make calls!
