Any idea how to stop the phone from muting media/bluetooth volume when it's disconnected from bluetooth? I'm running AOKP build 35
When I go to reconnect I have to remember to turn the volume back up or I sit there wondering why it's not playing.
Strange, mine doesn't do this on AOKP M5. Volume stays right where i left it, even if BT disconnects while music is playing.

I seem to be having the same issue, but my phone is an HTC One X...
EDIT: Played around with it a bit more and discovered that my phone just doesn't remember the bluetooth volume. When bluetooth is disconnected it reverts back to what the volume was before it was connected. It seems to me that either the volume should be persistent or the phone should remember where the bluetooth media volume was left at, but at least for now I know what the problem is/was...
Well, the next day I discovered that that was NOT the problem...so...still having the issue...ugh...
UPDATE: Found another forum thread that lists Turntable.fm as the culprit, and I think the problems started right around the time that I downloaded Turntable.fm, so I'll try to remove that to see if that fixes the issue.
So the problem WAS with Turntable.fm. Bluetooth media volume behavior is back to normal after uninstalling the app.
I have looked through 16 pages and have not found a solution.
My day old verizon G3 works with phone calls, but thats it. Audio wont play with videos or music when paired with bluetooth headphones

I use mine everyday to stream music via bluetooth. Are you sure the media option under the bluetooth connection is enabled? What are you connecting to?
Similar issue
I too own a Verizon LG G3 that I purchased recently. I also have a pair of LG Tone Ultras that I am having trouble with. I mainly use them for music and the occasional call. I've found that when I turned off phone audio under Settings > Bluetooth, I'm able to listen to music, which is nice, but the control buttons on the Bluetooth headset don't work, which is a mediocre workaround. Since I've tried a hard reset with no luck, I'll be contacting lg because at the very least, their own peripheral should work with their phone.

Bump same issue here

Didn't have any issues until a couple days ago, then the phone stopped playing music through bluetooth. Phone is set to allow media through blutooth for my car connection, my cat says the phone is connected as a phone and as an audio device. I dunno what went wrong. Occasionally I am able to get it to work again by resetting, but it stops working again after a while.
I've noticed this same behavior.
I found that if I go into the Bluetooth settings I can uncheck the "media" option for the device, then check it again, and it will work until the next time I connect. Not a graceful solution by any means, but it keeps me listening until something more useful comes up.

Simple Solution for Me, LG G3 Audio Streaming
Well I had this problem. I could make calls and they worked fine, voice and sound.
I could not get streaming media to play but I could see that the songs were registering on my car display.
I tried everything, the settings on the phone, re-pairing. etc. Nothing worked.
I just found out that it was a more simple problem. Somehow the bluetooth volume got turned down and all I did was turn it up while testing the problem on another car stereo. Maybe it'll work for you, just turn up the volume while attempting to stream music to your stereo on your LG G3. There are various volume settings on the phone for different things. I have no idea how the volume could have been turned down, that low. It takes holding it a few seconds of holding for the volume to go back up. I have not adjusted the volume on the phone in some time....so maybe it is bug, dunno. Maybe its just an easy accidental thing, turning down the volume. I never adjust the volume on the phone with the back buttons, too hard to get to. That is how I turned up the volume in this case, back button on the LG G3
This is not the solution I read about where you can call someone, turn up the volume then the media stream works. I guess these could be related but not what I did.
Same problem (not fixed)
I've got the same problem with my lg g3 and mpow Thor headphones, I need quick help please
It must be the phone cause it has the same problems with a JBL charge 3
yeah, same issue here. Bluetooth connects for call audio only. Running Marshmello 6.0.1

Everything works fine here, so it's not a general phone issue.
Does it properly recognise the bluetooth device as headphones/speakers?
Also I see a lot of you talk about car bluetooth. There are a lot of cars that don't actually support streaming media over Bluetooth (just voice calls since they are much lower quality).
There was a thread on the main XDA page a few says ago.
Hi Engmia,
When I initially get into the vehicle the car does recognize the device with headphones/mic symbol however if I go into my bluetooth settings and look at the profiles that are connected, only the "Call audio" profile is available. If I unpair the device and restart my phone, then re-pair the device it will eventually connect and using "call audio" and "media audio" profiles. I believe this is a Marshmellow issue as it's happening in both of my cars.
Thanks,
Aakash

Hello,
If you car actually has A2DP (the Bluetooth media standard for streaming media over bluetooth) which is supported by having the option enabled when reconnecting then it's a bug either in the car protocols or the phone software.
I can't help further unfortunately but recommend you to use the current workaround you've found and submit a proper bug report.
I think the rebooting of phone is an unnecessary step, try just unpairing the device or even better, just resetting the connection to see if it will work and save some time.
You can also try updating to 7.1.1, to see if the issue is resolved there.
Personally I've never experienced issues on neither 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 with my bluetooth headphones. In dact I was always pleasently surprises by how well the pairing worked.
Thanks for the reply engmia. I know both vehicles support A2DP, and I do not have issues with a different device. Are the 7.1.1 roms all AOSP? Would they be okay to use as a daily driver?
Thanks!

Yeah, you are looking for a custom AOSP rom for 7.0 since LG isn't planning to release the update.
It's absolutely lovely for a daily driver, works great and is quite good stability wise. Sometimes a new weekly (LineageOS) will have an unexpected bug, but that's why you just keep the previous version or a backup to keep everything running smoothly.
Going back to stock would be a pain for me at this point, both function and performance wise. I don't think you'll be missing anything from the stock rom, and most importantly, double tap to wake works.
problem seems to be syncing to multiple devices
Ran into this problem this morning.. I have an LG HBS900 headset paired to my LG G3 and my PC.. It looks like the PC's bluetooth set it up as a media device and the phone would only connect it for voice calls, no options for media showed up in the bluetooth settings on the phone..
To fix the problem:
I paired the headset to my PC and and then unpaired it and shut off bluetooth on my PC.
I also unpaired the headset from my phone, cleared the caches and rebooted.
After reboot I paired the headset to the phone and media options were available again..
Hope this helps
Just had this happen to me now ... Couple of restarts, syncing my headphones to a computer and back to my phone fixed it for some reason.
Same issue with the LG V20 Smartphone
SmartPhone: LG V20
Service Provider: AT&T
Android 7.0 (not rooted)
Kernel 3.18.31
Bluetooth Headset model: LG HBS730
Pairing is not a problem. It pairs quickly and connects both phone and media controls, however the media controls do not work. The buttons themselves are connected and working because when I press and hold any of the media buttons, I'll hear a quick double-beep. The buttons that do not work are the "play/pause" toggle, the "play next" and "play previous" buttons. The buttons that do work are the "volume up/down", the "answer/hangup" buttons.
I've tried some of the previously mentioned suggestions, like disable then re-enable controls and pretty much have done that will all the media controls in settings and within the applications.
The LG HBS730 worked perfectly for over a year with my previous phone, the Samsung G5 Active and works perfectly with my 2 Android tablets. The headset works fine.
The LG V20 bluetooth media controls also fail in the identical ways when the phone is connected to my Toyota Highlander's Bluetooth. The phone answers and hangs up properly, but the music will not pause or play until I hit the button on the phone. The controls do not function from the Highlanders audio controls on my console. This is also true with my Honda Link Bluetooth. Same exact symptoms. I have to use the phone to control the audio.
I have logging enabled on my phone if anyone knows how to get the logs off this LG, I would be happy to donate them to the cause of getting this fixed.

Sorry logs don't help me since I'm not a developer. I don't experience any issues on my d855 running LineageOS 7.1.1 and AKG Y45BT headset.
Pairing, controls, music playback all work perfectly fine.
I suggest you try contacting LG if the headset's controls are working on other devices.
Even though I understand that I'm part of the P beta. Has anyone else experienced a no reaction to an unlock screen or poor bluetooth hookup.
Unlock- unresponsive from the blank lock screen. In this case I push the power button and then the unlock works
Bluetooth- A longer than usual time to connect plus says it's connected but it's not. Turning BT on and off seems to recycle it
Could this be just part of the Beta items to fix?
Thanks
Only Bluetooth issue I had was back with DP2, connection with a 2016 ILX wasn't exactly fully connected. Media still came out of my phone. I would have to uncheck media in the settings then check it again to get the sound going through the car speakers. That didn't happen with a 2013 Passat and is now fine with DP3.

Hi all, having issues with Android Auto - connected via USB. It's been hit and miss re playing music - sometimes plays at normal volume and can be controlled using my car stereo volume controls, sometimes it connects and plays at a low volume that can't be adjusted on either the phone itself or the car controls. Have researched this a lot and none of the suggested fixes have worked. Anyone experiencing similar or got any fixes from experience? TIA

I'm on global (I think, in the UK) and I don't even have Android auto as an app. It's installed but I believe it's an issue with dual apps on MIUI. How did you get it to show?
Yes, it's inbuilt now and not a separate app any longer... when you connect it to android auto you can press the circle bottom right of car screen to open the interface on your phone and adjust settings that way, or download the separate phone companion. Either way, adjusting things didn't fix the issue.

A little bit annoying as in one of my cars as its older I don't have Android Auto so used to use the app alone and hang it from a holder
I guess if you download the phone screen companion you could still do that.
My P6P no longer connects to my Bose Mini II SoundLink. This is a new issue. The speaker shows up in my list of previously connected devices. It won't connect when I try to use it. I have forgotten the device and re-paired it to no effect. It pairs momentarily then stops my music player and won't connect. It's not an issue with the Bose speaker as it pairs and connects to my Surface laptop. Up until the last week or so I never had any issues, I regularly played music and podcasts on my phone through the Bose. Any suggestions?
Have you tried resetting your Bose speaker? They have an internal max list of devices that they can handle, maybe you maxed yours out.

Try pressing 10 seconds on the power button, if that doesn't work try pressing 10 seconds on power button AND either volume up or volume down, that's about all the button combinations manufacturers usually use.

Thanks, I reset the speaker and re-paired with my Pixel, but still doesn't work. It connects momentarily, never plays any sound, then stops the music player and shows as not connected.

Did all that and restarted my phone and now it works. Thanks
Thought I had an issue like this with my phone two days ago. Seemed my speaker was connected to both my phone and my laptop. Whenever any sound from my laptop came through the speaker, it would stop the music that was playing from my phone. Took me about 30 mins to diagnose the problem, all the while I was wondering how my new phone's bluetooth just stopped working every now and then.
