Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone has had any problems with audio being streamed through Ford Sync? After about a half hour or so of streaming or playing audio my phone freezes and reboots. I have tried 4 or 5 different roms and every single one of them has this problem. Thanks for your help!

I stream BT audio using Rdio service with my Sync (Ford MyTouch). I can't say that I've ever had that problem after using it for a while. I am using the xXx ROM.
Never had a problem.

No problems with my CM9 builds streaming to my 2010 Ford Focus, the audio quality is good and the steering wheel controls work.
Havent had a problem with streaming to Ford sync. Does it just do it when streaming to your Sync, or does it lock up doing anything else, ie playing thru headphones, or speaker.
Ford sync is buggy, could try rebooting your sync, you can do that yourself by pulling the fuse for it for a few mins.
It doesn't do it with headphones or a usb cable. It only does it when I am streaming audio through the Sync. It wouldn't freeze and reboot when I was on gingerbread, only on ICS.

2009 Ford Focus - AT&T Skyrocket ICS 4.0.4
I can't seem to pair my phone to my Focus since updating with the official AT&T released ICS 4.0.4 version. It worked fine before... I will try pulling the fuse soon and trying again.
Mine will pair, I have an F150 and Expedition. Both will pair, but no longer connect automatically. I can manually force them to connect, but not automatic. I have reset the car (pull positve cable from battery for 30 seconds) and then paired the phone again. Still nothing. My wife has a Galaxy S2 on 4.0.2 and it works just fine. Something goofy with the Note and 4.0.3 bluetooth drivers.
I can pair it just fine, the phone freezes up about a half hour into my audio playback. I can stop it from freezing if I stop the audio before it hits the 30 to 35 minute mark and hit play again.

So after testing my Bluetooth audio with cm9, the phone never froze or rebooted. Makes me wonder if the Bluetooth drivers for the stock roms are bad? Would anyone know how to get updated or better drivers? Thanks again!

I have this issue when I am streaming audiobooks, podcasts, or even a long youtube thing when streaming to my After market Sony stereo. It happens pretty much every 38 minutes like clockwork. After the 2nd freeze, I lose data connectivity until I do a full reboot. When it freezes, it seems like it doesn't do a full reboot for me, as I never see any booting animations. Just a frozen screen, a few seconds of black then back to the lock screen.
This *does not* happen when streaming Google Music. It seems like it's only when I'm playing the same audio piece for over a half hour. This is using Audible and BeyondPod. I can't recall which kernal I'm using, but I do remember it is the same one the last 2 roms where I've had this issue, so I have no idea if it even can be kernal related or not.
Yeah that is the problem that I am having as well. If I stop the audio before it hits the 38 minute mark then it won't reboot. cm9 so far hasn't made my phone freeze. I wonder if people are having the same problem on the att official update?

I have exactly the same problem on rooted stock Telus 4.0.4 rom. My bluetooth device is JVC car radio. Can someone fix the title of the thread to remove "Ford Sync" reference? It looks like the problem is more generic.
I never had an issue connecting to my 2011 Escape until ICS. If i manually did a connect, it was fine, but no automatic connect with ICS. After I did an unpair, delete the connect from phone and car, then performed a new pair, it was fine.

Hi all,
Having some issues with my z2 bluetooth dropping. Very strange.
I can connect my bluetooth on the z2 to any device without issue ( namely my 2013 Hilux), however, after 40s, my bluetooth will drop, and reconnect withing about 2-3 seconds, and start the cycle again, on and on forever. I am not sure why it does this? It happens when i just leave it connected and do nothing with it, or when i play music too.
The interesting thing is, if i receive a call, i will be able to speak with someone for the first 40s, then the bluetooth will disconnect and reconnect (all in about 2-3) seconds, and after that i will not experience any more bluetooth drops for the entirety of my journey, either through leaving it there connected not doing anything or playing music. Very strange.
Ive tried turning, stamina off, wifi off, nfc off, etc but nothing seems to change it.
Does anyone have any insight on this? Its like the bluetooth on the z2 is requesting something from my other devices, and when it doesnt receive it, shuts off, then as my bluetooth is on and recognizes my paired device is nearby, reconnects straight away. If i get a call as ive mentioned, its like whatever the z2 is looking for it just ignores it and keeps the connection regardless.
Happens to me in my 2014 MB. It's definitely something sony is doing wrong with their Bluetooth. I never had that issue with other phone brands (Samsung, HTC, Moto).

Ahh so not an isolated case!
I have no issue with my Note 3 or my older HTC One. Its strange. I remember reading something about Bluetooth 4.0 requesting a device descriptor or something descriptor (my bluetooth knowledge is a bit lacking), could it be that thats what its not receiving and hence dropping out? Surely there must be someone on XDA who knows a workaround for this issue.
I have the same issue with 2011 C-Class and Z2 drop out constantly and turn it self off.
The Xperia Z fix seems to have fixed the issue and will auto reconnect, but it is still annoying with the temporary connection drop.
Anyone know if this will be fixed in firmware update?
Ive found that 4.4.2 has alot of base module issues
You will have wait for sony to update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 or 5.0

Any idea when the update will be out?
Extremely annoying, even with the Xperia bluetooth fix, the BT fix app will constantly come up with connecting/reconnecting messages.
Almost unusable in the Mercedes...

I turned off the Bluetooth media functions and enable only the telephony features, seems to have stabilized...
I have BT music streaming problem too. Z2 connects to pioneer deh-x9600bt car radio, but the songs keep skipping every now and then. I have tried every possible settings, changed memory card, tested spotify and deezer and problem still exists. HTC phones working without issues in my car, so must be something to do with Sony.
edit: running 4.4.4 existenz currently, but problem has been from the start
any update to this issue? Just bought my Z2 and I am also experiencing this Bluetooth "skipping, jumping, dropouts" every minute or so while listening to my Chevy Volt bluetooth audio. I am on 4.4.4 but am considering downgrading it to 4.4.2, root, and check out other roms to see if problem still persists.
fixed!
found a fix!
1) install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.xperiabluetoothmediafix&hl=en
2) open app, check the BT connection that have stuttering / dropouts
3) restart phone
4) wait for message box to appear momentarily to say "BT XXX reconnected" or something to that effect
5) test it out and....???profit!
update: perhaps I spoke too soon. A week of using the app this BT connection dropouts still appears at random. Rebooting the phone is what usually fixes it. I wonder if the bluetooth stack would fix it...can it be replaced in the phone kernel?
well I did more experiment with it this morning. Little background info: My car has bluetooth audio for phone, stereo, and message. The phone is C6503 with .167 firmware. These are the result to see if it fixes the stuttering:
1) toggleing bluetooth on/off: no
2) toggleing throw (audio cast) on/off: no
3) disable auto throw in throw setting: no
4) restarting phone: yes (but AVRCP would stop working; i.e. can't skip track from car. Also notices option to read text message was gone)
5) delete MAP profile in bluetooth setting: yes (seems to work for the rest of the ride...stay tune)
So if you don't mind not able to have the car read your text, this is the fix.
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
Hello,
My car is a Mini Clubman that is using "BMW iDrive" Entertainment System, my phone is a Oneplus 3.
When I connect my phone using Bluetooth to my car, I can do calls without problems, but listening to music is nearly impossible.
It connects (A2DP), but the display of my car keeps showing "untitled" as trackinfo although I pressed play button in Spotify app (same with deezer). I don't hear anything either
Sometimes I can control the music using the buttons of my car, but the music is playing on my phone.
When restarting the radio and the phone completely, it works in one of 5 tries.
I know other people with BMW system have the same problems, but does anybody have a solution? The software of my iDrive is the most recent.
Thanks and best regards
Same issues with my Car and same phone. I'm using Spotify, Dezzer and Sony Music Player.
Maybe could be a OP3 Nougat issue.
Never had problems with MM Rom.

Did lots of different rom testing... in the end I have switched to a CM13 rom (marshmallow) and its connecting each and every time like clockwork!
My guess is that Bluetooth implementation by oneplus is not so good
Hope that helps

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 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.

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.
