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
Hey guys, little background story:
Im owning a galaxy s6 edge plus and a Mi Band 2.
Whenever the Mi Band is connected with my phone and im playing audio over bluetooth, the sound gets all noisy, there is a little crackling at high frequencies and it doesnt sound good at all.
When the Mi Band is disconnected, it is all right. Same with my Moto 360.
The annoying part is, that, whenever i want to listen to music over bluetooth, i need to unpair my Mi Band with the Mi Fit app and need to repair it afterwards. This is quite time comsuming and simply annoying so my question is:
Is there any app or xposed module or whatever it needs, to simply disconnect from Bluetooth Low Energy devices, since they dont show up in the bluetooth settings?
Thanks in advance
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.
I have this little problem with my new Huawei.
(I have a Mate 10 Pro, couldn't find a section for that specific model)
Whenever I connect it to my car or Bluetooth headphones, the audio from my phone will randomly switch from my car speakers or my headphones to the phone speakers. The only way to get it outputting audio through the Bluetooth device again, is by reseting my Bluetooth connection. However, it does this every time and its driving me insane.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
Hello
Try to remove all bluetooth devices associated on your phone.
Then associate Bluetooth with your car
Do not try to associate other devices for the moment.
Then try to listen music from your car to speakers of your car
If it's ok, then associate other devices and try again to watch if all is allright
This is a known bug that has been around since release, there is nothing you could do to fix it.
This is by far worst Bluetooth implementation I ever saw in android
On top of Your problem mine stops sending call logs to the car randomly and restart or re pair are only option to mend it
So strange ! I'have never had problems with bluetooth audio with my car !
Except if decide to receive the conversations sound on my Bluetooth smartwach.
Android don't like to have 2 bluetooth devices connected for sound at the same time
All the top cell phones are having blue tooth issues...just google it. It is not unique to this phone.
I have the same phone and issue and this is still not fixed ! Has someone found a workaround?
My mate 10 Pro works fine in my car, no issues at all. It works fine on Android Auto too. Yet in my parents' car, Android Auto won't work at all; I just get a black screen.
I guess these problems are often between two specific pieces of hardware rather than a general fault with the phone, so quite difficult for manufacturers like Huawei to fix everything. But if I had my parents' car, I'd be pretty pissed!
This is a known issue with EMUI and it has to do with EMUI killing processes in the background in the name of battery optimization. If your music player is in the background or your screen is turned off, EMUI will situationally kill or freeze bluetooth/audio related processes.
If rooted, use either Titanium Backup or Service Disabler to freeze/disable the Power Genius app. This app is responsible for EMUI's battery optimization measures (but the battery life on my Mediapad improved when I disabled it). If not rooted, you might or might not be able to do this via adb.
Other solutions include plugging in a charger, or leaving your screen on.
(edit - you have to reboot after disabling Power Genius, merely disabling it will not immediately change anything)
Hello xda forum,
I have bought bluetooth earbuds few days ago (JBL Free X) and I have tried connect it to my Mi A3. Generally sound weren't that bad, but while listening quiet sounds, I was able to hear noises. To check which device is faulty, I have tried connect them to iPhone 7, my PC (using CSR BT 4.0 dongle) and even to my Gear S2. The first two devices hadn't any problem with giving better audio experience than Mi A3. I was unable to change bt settings in dev settings section.
Any ideas or tips?

There is an option to solve it without magisk? I don't really want to void warranty.
We are on the same boat but no we gotta wait for the fix. Hopefully android 10 update will.
Since Bluetooth degrades WiFi performance, I wonder if the reverse is also happening. Disable WiFi and location service and play audio from storage and see if that improves Bluetooth.

I think it could be an software issue, I have similar problem with pulseaudio service on my x220 with Pop_OS!. There are a lot of things refers to that OS can't (or just don't want to) set higher bitrate in selected codecs.

I have written solution here

I found a temporary solution about bluetooth audio devices. With spotify, yt music or another app. Go into any app's equalizer settings and activate it. Than you should select fx booster. It fixed my all problems while listening music.
Any solution if you aren't rooted? All of the 'boost' apps distort the audio quite badly.
Seems a software issue to me since bluetooth max volume depends on the wireless earphones and not the phone I would assume?
Just to inform: I changed the bluetooth codec in developer settings and set all volumes on max volume level and did a restart. Rebooting and 'Forgetting' the wireless ears in the bleutooth menu and reconnecting, fixed the issue!
