[Q] Bluetooth Media & Phone between LG G3 & Pioneer FH-P8000BT

So I asked this question last week under the VZW LG G3 Q&A and never got any feedback so hopefully I can get some sort of response here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/bluetooth-media-phone-lg-g3-pioneer-fh-t2920008
I recently got my LG G3 a few days ago and I've been having trouble getting media to play through my aftermarket head unit (Pioneer FH-P8000BT).
I had used it via Bluetooth with my HTC Incredible, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 all with (for the most part) no issues streaming Pandora, Google Play Music, etc. The only time Bluetooth gave me trouble is on my S3 whenever i loaded an ASOP ROM, it would have a hard time connecting but it would be intermittent. Any TouchWiz roms, no issues (the Galaxy Nexus never had any problems no matter the ROM).
With the G3 I just got I had first performed a factory reset so it's 100% stock (rooted). I had also cleared the memory on my Pioneer unit.
When first connecting, it goes through without any problems and I'm able to stream media. The moment I shut my car off then turn it back on, it's unable to connect media audio (phone still works). And it had the same issue regardless of if the app is closed out or open and even restarted the phone.
I got the unit back in 2008 so I realize it's using an older version of Bluetooth and it looks like Pioneer dropped support as there are 0 firmware updates since it's been released. I saw another post (different forum) about someone having similar issues connecting their G2 to the same HU however they responded LG had released an update and they've been working since.
I'm almost tempted to upgrade the unit but would rather wait for Android Auto to come out. Hoping anyone in the forums knows a fix and can help out.
Thank you!

I've tried and retried all the steps I've taken already with no success. I'd like to be able to use streaming music in my car again so I'd appreciate if anyone could help out.

Bluetooth issue on Lollipop

when I had kitkat on my Note 3 I had my phone paired via Bluetooth to my car radio. When playing music it would show the song name, artist, album etc and I could play, pause etc the song. I got the lollipop update, and it deleted all of my Bluetooth connections. So I paired my phone back up to my radio and now it doesn't show anything, no song, artist, album etc and I can't control the music anymore. I have done all of the troubleshooting steps I have been told to do and nothing has worked. Are other people experiencing the same issue? Is there a fix? Please help! Thanks in advanc!!

Have you tried clearing the data for bluetooth apps and reconnecting to the car? Is under settings, applications.

I have cleared the data and cache from the Bluetooth app. Impaired the radio from the phone and vice versa. Still hasn't fixed it. It will play music through the radio. Just no info or metadata as people call it.

That means your Bluetooth radio is not compatible with lollipop... Simple features that are universal like calls and pairing will work but that's it. ..It's got nothing to do with your phone and you can't do anything to fix that. ..

Thank you for the help! Would have never guessing that! Guess I need to get a new radio now.

How did you update to lollipop?
Kies?
OTA?
Odin?
Have you tried a reflash?

Yeah I had a Pioneer from 3 years ago 7 inch screen top of the line and the same thing happened, so last week I went and bought the new Pioneer same type just a newer version and everything works again so it's definitely the radio... Unless they have updates for the radio, the updates for your phone will supersede the radio because they didn't have lollipop in mind when they made the radio and there are things that have changed in the software... I hope that helps

These functions are bluetooth standard functions, not something that is lollipop or kitkat specific. If that were the case, all of your accessories (BT headsets, etc.) would lose the ability to control music as well.
OP: What is your baseband version, and your actual ROM version? It's possible that when you got your update, your baseband didn't update, and thus the BT interaction via the SDK in the os isn't passing the data to the BT radio correctly.

Not true I've been in car stereo for 25 years and I'm MECP certified... There's Bluetooth 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and now 4.0... Lollipop is 4.0 and it is different and they will have different effects on other versions of Bluetooth... You can say I'm wrong, but I'm not and you will never get it to work no matter what your baseband phone or anything like that is... Lots of manufacturers have updates to make their Bluetooth compatible if you don't update your Bluetooth device it will become obsolete and only the basic features will still work

Ohhhhkay. Lol.

I have both a Note 4 that has upgraded to Lollipop and a new S6 (obviously with Lollipop), and both pair and connect find to 2 different cars, but I have lost music controls with apps such as Slacker and Pandora. Interestingly enough, music controls are okay with Google Play Music. I can't even control the music with Android Wear. I don't think wiping cache or factory resetting will affect any of this since it's happening with the S6, which is brand new. This has to be a Samsung Lollipop thing, because the HTC One M9 has no issues like this.

It's probably more of a Google / Samsung thing, I like controlling all my music apps especially pandora from my Kenwood DDX719 which doesn't play well with my Note 3 on lollipop.
So far using my S4 still running kitkat but have a S6 edge on my radar for June, hope there's a workaround by June.

Omg I've been in car stereo for 25 years and I'm trying to tell you guys has nothing to do with the phone, older radio will not be compatible with lollipop no matter what you do so stop wasting your time get a new radio or deal with it please this guessing is is killing me... You must check your manufacturer of your radio to see if its compatible with lollipop, doing something to your phone is not going to make it work... I really hope this helps all of you

The only thing to do is to revert back to kitkat, as far as the phone is concerned or new stereo hu.
I'm good with that.
Until I get the S6 edge, then it's curtains for the Kenwood I have, just hope Kenwood comes out with something that's lollipop friendly.

Try the pioneer nex line. I just got the 4100 and it has android auto and it's great made only for lollipop...

I'm going to wait for Kenwood to take the next step concerning Android functionality and move in that direction.
Been buying and using Kenwood for over 30 yrs, can't see myself buying pioneer.

OnePlus 3 Problems with Car Bluetooth connection

Hi all,
Since the last few firmware versions (OS 4.02 and above) I´ve been experiencing some issues exclusively with the Bluetooth connection of my car (Jaguar XE). I couldn’t fixed the problem even with the last firmware version rolled out via OTA (4.1.0).
In the last two months the connection of my Jaguar has not been stable at all. Most of the times I am able to pair my phone with the car, upload my contacts and so. However, once I start to transfer music of Spotify via Bluetooth, it keeps failing the "multimedia audio" and the connection is interrupted the whole time. I also lose the connection with the “phone audio”. I seems that my phone disables both connections intermittently. My guess is that Android Nougat is a "control freak" of permissions and this leads to issues with some car stero units.
In the previous versions of the firmware (4.01 and below) I didn´t experienced such problem. In the past I did have perfect connection to play spotify in my car with my same Oneplus Unit. I am very confident that there is nothing wrong with my car stereo unit since the Bluetooth still working fine with my wife´s phone. I haven´t upgraded my Jaguar´s firmware lately…so that shouldn´t be the source of my problem.
Despite of all this, the Bluetooth of my Oneplus unit works perfectly fine with any other Bluetooth devices . In fact I am able to enjoy full connection playing music with my External Speaker (UE BOOM 2) and my Xiaomi roidmi 2s –used in my other car that lacks of Bluetooth technology -.
I´ve tried everything. A couple of days ago I even performed a factory reset using the last version of firmware (4.1.0). Of Course I reset system settings, wiped cache and all data (music, pics…etc)…but still experiencing the same issue. I am desperate.
Any instruction will be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,

So there was another thread on these boards, cant find it for right now... but in my experience the problems were only present on OOS rom's.
Perhaps not the best solution, but have you tried a CAF or Lineage OS based rom? All my problems went away after I made the switch
Good luck

Thank you Gomezie, I´ve read all the threads but I dont seem to find the solution.
I stick to stock os. Never changed my stock rom.
The funny thing is that OP stated in its last changelog that they have fixed bluetooth problems....
Kind regards,

Hi, my one plus 3 has the same problem. Done all the required resets and clearing of cache and it still would randomly connect and disconnect. Problem only surface after the recent 4.1.0 update.
My kids phone and wife's phone all have no issues.
My op3 connects with all other Bluetooth devices without any problems.
Mine is a f-pace .

Same problem in Mazda 6
Hi, I've been experiencing similar problem in Mazda 6 after software update. Everything was working perfect in previous versions. I my case problem is with using Spotify. Phone connects to the headunit, just after engine starts with no isuess, but the music won't start to play. Only way to start playback is to disconnect the phone manually and reconnect every single time. Re-pairing the phone with car doesn't help.

I sent an email to customer service a couple days ago. i haven't got any reply yet. I will let you know.
Regards.

I finally did receive a reply from OP customer service: The only solution they offer me is trying a downgrade to OS Oxygen version 3.2.8. This is the link suggested by the technical agent to do so:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.8/
I haven´t done it yet since I am not eager to this idea.
On the other hand, in the meantime, OP rolled out new OTA 4.1.1. I made the upgrade to the latest firmware version. It seemed to work at first. However right now I am having the same problems with bluetooth disconnecting the whole time.
Any other experiences?? Have anyone solved this issue with new OTA???
Kind regards,

Bluetooth and 4.1.1
It's worse now on 4.1.1. definitely not the car, Samsung works ok

Hi,
I've experienced the same problems starting on OpenBeta 12 and continuing through to OOS 4.1.1. I've posted in the Open Beta 12 thread on the Oneplus forums, and have been contaced by Oneplus regarding the issue. For the Open Beta I have provided log files for them, but due to work and private life getting in the way have not been able to do the same for OOS 4.1.0 or OOS 4.1.1. Also, I did not clean flash, but dirty flash - because I'm really lazy and stuff. It needs too much time, to be honest
Maybe if everyone who has the problem here contacts the guys at OP or the OP forums, respectively, providing logs etc. the problem can be solved faster.
I did some googling around and found a few articles that hinted in the direction of Android 7.1.1 being the culprit, which would mean that Google needs to fix it. In these articles, it said Nexus devices, and a fix coming up...don't know...
Best regards,
Chris

My phone audio always works fine but the media audio on both my nissan and ford sync system works randomly or not at all on both stock and Lineage based roms. My wife's iPhone 6s works perfectly every time on both cars. Fortunately for me it's not a big deal since both cars have usb inputs and I keep all my music on thumb drives...My old Galaxy S6 Edge works fine on both cars too so I am not sure why the OP3 is so spotty.

Ask your question in the proper place. This is a thread regarding bluetooth connectivity.

Reflashed ROM to Galaxy Tab SM-T310 but stock Video app no longer works

Hello,
My mother bought me and herself a black Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T310 in 2014. Naturally it slowed down and over the last several months, she stopped using it completely. Not exactly tech-savvy but was very interested in boosting the audio like I successfully did with mine through the default_gain.conf. She looked up some YouTube instructions,downloaded Odin etc to root the device. but long story-short...she flashed the wrong ROM either for a different country or for a phone and it became soft bricked coming up with the message.
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please reselect recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Thankfully, I restored it by downloading a UK Stock ROM and flashing it with Odin (It's originally a tablet bought in Republic of Ireland).
Everything seems fine with the exception of clicking the stock Video app and having no video play. When I download alternative video players with the PlayStore like VLC, all the videos on the tablet play fine. It just seems to be a problem with the app itself. Unfortunately, I sold my old tablet so I don't think I could flash the app with Titanium Backup even though I rooted her newly recovered device.
Thanks for any help. Could someone also if possible give the loudest possible values for the default_gain.conf file? Mother doesn't likes loud music but not in her ears

Galaxy A50 WiFi issue and downgrading

Hey so I've been having this issue with my Galaxy A50 where the wifi would keep hiccuping in a constant pattern, this is very noticeable when I try to stream games using either Steam Link or Moonlight, the wifi would cut for like a split second each 5 ish seconds. I did however find a workaround, and that it so enable and disable airplane mode, it would completely fix the hiccups.
So today, I regretted updating my phone so much (7th of July update), because now, the hiccups are back and they are more constant than ever. The trick I'd use to make the wifi stable no longer works, I need to keep airplane mode enabled at all times to avoid these hiccups.
I would like one of either solutions: can I fix this issue once and for all, because it's supper annoying, I tried removing my sim cards and all but the issue persists, if there is no fix for this, then I'd like to revert to the previous version I had, I have already downloaded the files from Sammobile, but I'm worried that it would brick my phone or even refuse to install period, here's the ROM that I'd like to install:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505FN/SER/download/A505FNPUS5BTF1/347209/
I've explained this issue a bit better on the steam forums, so I'm gonna copy what I typed there;
Thank you very much in advance.
Okay so, recently I got a brand new Galaxy A50 phone, and whenever I'd try to stream games (over local network using WiFi) I'd get frequent and consistent hiccups that last about a split second each 3 seconds ~, I suspected that the issue could be from my phone being faulty or whatever, but I tried my brother's phone which is the same as mine, but the issue persisted.
On very rare occasions, the hiccups would not occur and the stream would be absolutely perfect, so I know for sure it might not be a hardware issue and that a stutter free experience is possible for sure, however I have no clue how to keep it consistent.
Mind you I have tried many other devices, my old Galaxy S5 and S6, even tried a Huawei phone and an Oppo phone and they all seem to work just fine, I even tried different streaming services like Parsec, TeamViewer, Moonlight etc... So the issue is certainly not my network as it is working just fine with other devices.
The A50 is a pretty popular mid-range phone so I'd expect at least someone to use Steam link (or similar apps) on it and experience this problem, yet I haven't found a single post about this issue online, the only thread that pops up is another one of mine related to this issue (on Reddit).
Can anybody help me come up with a solution? I tried quite literally everything I can, including updating my OS and all of my apps.
Thank you in advance
