I can pair my phone with my car but 90% of the time I cannot hear the other caller and get a lot of distortion and hear myself echoing. The caller can hear me but not too well. A couple of times it worked ok. It seemed to work better when I had lite'ning rom installed, but due to an issue with car mode popping up randomly I have played around with various different roms. Now though my phone whilst pairing fine will just not work audio wise with my car. It is a 2010 BMW z4. BMW site lists the phone as compatible. I have searched high and low but the only problem I can find tends to be contacts not showing up etc. For me this is fine I just can't hear anyone when I make a call.
Is there something I can do with the phone to make it work? I found a root related bluetooth apk file remnaming thing but it didn't work.
Please help as this is driving (literally) me nuts.
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Ok, I investigated more. I have a program called Total Recall installed. It can be set to record all calls. On previous ROM's I think it occasionally crashed or got stopped when I closed stuff with task manager. On this ROM it seems to work constantly. This may be why my car Bluetooth used to work on occasions and not others.
I froze it with MyBackup Pro and voilà my car worked properly with the phone.
So I guess my next question is does anyone know anything about this program and why it would mess up car Bluetooth? If I can't get it to work can anyone recommend an alternative?
EDIT: Seems I can set it not to try and record if BT connected. Shame as that would be useful.
I haven't seen anyone else post this yet so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a Bluetooth speaker in my car that works fine on stock or on kit Kat roms. But on every lollipop rom I've tried, the audio through the Bluetooth is slightly slowed down (resulting in everything sounded a little lower) and kind of choppy.
The audio plays fine through the phones speaker or through a headset, it's only on Bluetooth that this happens.
Any body else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Same issue here.
I think it may be the speaker I'm using, because I had the same issue when I connected my tablet to it that is also running lollipop. I need to find a different Bluetooth device and see if the problem persists.

I was doing a search on this issue myself, which brought me here. It's actually only one speaker I have that does this, and it's the newest BT device I have. It's the HDMX Rave portable BT speaker. It worked fine with the KK ROMs I was using at the time I got it, but ever since updating to LP, only that speaker of all the BT audio devices I own does that.
Weird...
Similar Issue
Hi,
I've also experienced this, although it seems my Bluetooth plays much worse than yours. It's slow for a bit, then choppy and breaks up, then it'll speed up the music to get back to where it should be. It renders Bluetooth music completely unusable.
I've found:
High CPU usage causes this in KK (skydragon) for me. The high-usage culprit is the netd module, not sure if that's relevant.
I've flashed Jasmine Lollipop (5.0.11) lots of different ways, with several different modems, and it still has this issue.
It doesn't seem to depend on the app, as it happens with the default music app and with Spotify (192 Kbps).
It happens on both of my Bluetooth devices, a cheapo portable speaker and my nicer car stereo. I don't know the BT versions they use.
Disabling WiFi helps a little, disabling data does nothing.
Anyone have any workarounds?
i had the same problem when connecting to my car speaker.
funny thing is some days it works great, and other days all of a sudden it just plays all slow. anyone got fix?
So I've been doing some more tinkering. Turning off WiFi will fix the issue for my "dumb" bluetooth speaker (it's a pair button and a power switch only), however it will only fix the issue for the first ~3 minutes on my Clarion car stereo (with all sw updates). I've disabled literally every Bluetooth service, activity, provider, and responder that isn't essential for A2DP connections. I'm able to access the hidden menu item for Bluetooth testing, but I don't really know how to use it. If someone has directions for that I'd gladly put my phone through the paces.
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
Asked a question a while back about the issue with Bluetooth audio cutting back to the phone speaker, is there a fix out for it yet? If not, do Huawei know about the bug?
Thanks
Original post text below.
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.

Can't help with a solution I'm afraid but I get the same on BLA-L09 C782, firmware 131. It sometimes refuses to connect to anything until I switch into airplane mode and back.
Other times it will connect fine then switch to loudspeaker almost immediately - even though bluetooth still says it's connected (and the play/pause button works on the device). It seems fairly random and reconnecting a few times gets it to work for a while, but it's annoying when it happens while driving.
My guess is that it's an audio routing issue, so most likely a software glitch.
Has anyone switched to a treble rom and still finding the problem? Or has anyone noticed it has gone with a later firmware update?
I have a Nokia 7.2 [Model: TA-1178], live in the states and use MetroPCS (T-mobile).
Curious if anyone has experienced voice call issues since the Android 10 roll out.
Problems I am having is sporadic but when answering calls I will have no audio.
Other scenario is when placing calls audio is like 'chirping'. This occurs sometimes when receiving calls also.
Looking online I have read other Nokia users (different devices) refer to same issue describing it as chipmunk or chirping sound.
At this time the fixes I have found are also the same identified by the other device users.
If no audio enable / disable speaker then everything works okay.
For the chirping/chipmunk noise you need to disable VoLTE and also disable Wi-Fi calling.
Like to know if anybody else having problems.
If you are I hope the suggestions help if you've not identified a better solution.
