I've run into an issue with BT, I think.
I have a BT based home phone setup from Panasonic. My cell connects to the home phone system via BT, and when I get a call on the cell the home phones ring, and I can answer it either from the cell phone or the home phone handset. Very convenient.
I also have BT in my car. When I get in the car and turn it on, the car requests a BT connection, and the phone connects to the car, but only for a fraction of a second. Then it immediately drops that connection, and reconnects to the home phone. My Samsung doesn't do that. Once it connects to the car, it stays connected to the car.
So with my old phone, I could walk out of the house, start the car, and be connected to the car's BT system. With the LG, I end up not connected to the car. Had I noticed this problem sooner, I think I would have returned the phone. Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this?
I really do like this phone, but there sure are a lot of little bugs in the software that LG doesn't seem to be doing anything about.

Hi All,
I recently bought a 2014 Civic Si and I've been getting strange disconnects from the Bluetooth Hondalink. Initially the phone would disconnect every 30 seconds or so and I realized it was because I had to allow the phone to share the phone book. That seemed to solve the constant, repetitive disconnects. Since then, when I start the car, the phone will connect, but then disconnects as soon as the phone functionality or the media functionality is accessed by the car the first time. If I then manually reconect the phone via Bluetooth it will stay connected just fine. After manually reconnecting I can stream audio or take/make phone calls no problem.
As an example, I start the car, the phone and Hondalink connect, Pandora will automatically start playing through the car audio. After about 10 seconds, it disconnects and then I hear Pandora from the phone speakers. I manually reconnect the phone to Hondalink and it stays connected, all works good after that.
Any ideas what might be happening on the initial connection?
My M8 is a carrier unlocked version ordered from HTC. I use it on AT&T.
Thanks for any ideas,
Lenny

I would delete it out of your phone, and delete the phone out of your car, start over the procedure and see if that helps.
I'm having Bluetooth problems in my civic 2012..
Bluetooth streaming works fine, but calls disconnect and reconnect to the cars Bluetooth.
I've deleted the devices both from the car and phone, but it still disconnects and reconnects. Has anyone found a fix for this?
I know this doesn't help you at all, but I have a 2015 Civic and I have this exact same problem. HTC One M8, starts up fine and then disconnects. I have to manually choose a device to connect to and then I'm good to go for the rest of the time.
Annoying.

My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
Any and all suggestions would be great. Also right now I am on rooted stock 5.0.1
PS: I will try and post some photos to help when I get the chance to get to my car.
I've been start for a solution to this since the phone came out as well. I have the same Bluetooth issues with my phone in my car. Nothing more annoying than having to turn Bluetooth on and off for 10-15 minutes of your drive before you can use the damn thing. Oh wait, more annoying would be when it's been working for a solid 45 minutes or so and then suddenly, with no warning, the Bluetooth connection ends for no reason and your cars stereo comes on instead of what you were streaming only the volume on the cars radio is far louder and it scares the ever living crap out of you

Odd....I dont seem to have that issue. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music.
In the car I don't get a lot of skipping. But when connected to my BT speakers audio does skip a lot and starts playing in ffw then disconnects completely. It's driving me nuts. I've tried all the usual trouble shooting also. No help. Wtf Samsung/Google
Does anyone know a way to tell the phone to connect to the car bluetooth for calls rather than the watch when I get in the car? Then also switch back to watch bluetooth calls when I leave the car?
thanks
Does the car connect to the phone at all when you get in, or does being connected to the watch block this?
I'm wondering if you place the call/answer the call with the car's menu system/steering wheel controls what happens, or if you are unable to even get this far.
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Carkit does connect (you can see in settings) but it says "(no phone calls)".
Watch is alsoo connected and says "(phone calls)
When i use voice control or the buttons on the dash to start a call it says no phone connected.
So my phone says that it is connected to carkit (no phone calls notification however), but if i look in settings from carkit it does'nt show phone connected...
The phone doesn't even connect to the car - I have to go into bluetooth settings on the phone and manually swap between the two when I get in and out of the car. I only connect to the cars on phone, not media audio.
I use the phone in 2 different cars, so ideally want to be able to automatically prioritise which bluetooth it connects to. I know there are apps like tasker which can do this but they are so complicated (or I'm too blonde!).
other thread
Found another thread already covering the subject...
Hope this helps...

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced any weird Bluetooth issues after installing the latest May OTA update (OPM1.171019.011-RZR-180509.5038)? I've realized that the BT controls on my 2015 Nissan Sentra no longer work properly. It doesn't automatically connect to BT anymore and no track information shows on the head-unit. The weird thing is that I CAN get music to play, at least.
I just wanted to know if I happened to be losing my mind after numerous reboots and re-pairing between the car and the phone.
Same for me. I can delete it. Pair it again and it works. Next time I get in the car it won't reconnect.. worked fine before the update at the weekend.

It's a fire an miss actually. Sometimes it reconnects automatically with the car's unit (alpine aftermarket) and sometimes it doesn't. I had noticed that if I get in the car for the 1st time today (for ex), it won't reconnect back and i have to cycle around the input in order to "kickstart" the reconnecting process. If I make a stop along the way, stop the car, get out (thus interrupting the connection) and getting back after a while, it will reconnect automatically without any issues. I'm not even taking it out of my pocket. But this scenario is happening since day one, not necessarily from the last update.
On the other hand, I got a smartband (coincidentally after the last update) and now, while the smartband is connected via BT, when I turn on my BT wireless headphone adapter, it won't re-connect anymore (simultaneously with the smartband) and if it does, it's without media playback. As a workaround, I have to 1st turn off the smartband, clear the BT of any active connection (And also any other device with media playback capabilities), turn on the BT adapter so it will connect full, then turn the smartband back on. And not always works like this.
So, I do have on an off issues with the BT stability and connections with various devices, not just car unit.
Strangely though my smart watch connects no problem and the stereo in my motorhome was connecting at the weekend. It's just the car ( a Vauxhall Astra) that refuses to connect unless I delete and re pair....

I can't get music to play with Spotify or YouTube. The phone connects fine, shows song info but just won't play no matter what I try.
The weird thing is that calls work perfectly. Sound through car speakers and mic works. Just doesn't want to play music.
I've tried unpairing, re-pairing, deleting, even factory reset on both phone and stereo. Worked fine before the 8.1 Oreo update. (I'm on 3 UK handset).
Im having issues as well, it will connect the first time when I manually connect the phone and stereo to MyLink. It will say connected but (No Media) so i try to pair the media and it disconnects my phone from BT and then i have to delete device and re connect device manually. As well if i leave the vehicle or turn it off then it will disconnect. Not just my vehicle but the other showroom vehicles do that as well. Can someone let me know if there is a bluetooth upgrade or a firmware upgrade that can fix this problem? is there anything that we can do for this let me know. Thanks!!
I am having the same issue in my bmw.
I can delete the phone and re-pair... But it sucks having to do that every thing.
also having issues as well. It connects to my headphones and the after market HU in my truck but it will not connect at all to the factory HU in Genesis Coupe. I have tried to delete and re pair and still nothing.
So currently it all works for me with the latest update. It definitely takes a little bit longer than normal though. Not sure how long some of you waited, but compared to my old phones it feels like an eternity during the time it doesn't connect. I also use a smartwatch and it is always connected to that. If you guys need or want any files, let me know. I'm currently waiting for a usb-c to usb-a cable in the mail, so once that is here I can try to help.
I think this is all more of an Android issue. I was having most of the exact same issues mentioned here on my LG V20 on Oreo.
I just for a Razer Phone 1 off eBay this week. I did the Pie update and within a day, the bluetooth issues have returned. Sometimes phone won't connect to car stereo - sometimes reboot stereo, sometimes toggle phone bluetooth off/on, or sometimes just wait 10-30 seconds. Doing the same showing info on car stereo display, but no audio transmitted. I also had similar issues using a OnePlus 3 with both Dirty Unicorns and Resurrection Remix Pie ROMs. I was beginning to think it was my car stereo until I read the comments on this thread. Seeing so many others having the exact same issues on factory and aftermarket stereos (mine is an aftermarket), and knowing it's happening on different devices and both Oreo and Pie , I'm thinking it's an Android 8 and 9 issue.
Hello since I made the last update I have noticed that there are problems with the Bluetooth. I always keep it active to keep it connected to the smartwatch. I have found that often the phone no longer recognizes it and there is no way until I restart the phone. The problems are accentuated when using the wifi hotspot.
Yep the whole coms system on the 6 is poor. I have disconnection issues with headphones and wahoo cycling computer. Just no fix despite resets .

Yep, my 6 Pro Bluetooth connection to my car has gone backwards in quality in the latest 12.1 stable build
Mine will be fine for an hour and then suddenly disconnects all devices. Then it reconnects on its own. It's not fun when you are on a call or virtual meeting.
Mine is staying connected to my watch without any issues, and when connected to either my car or earbuds I don't get any drop outs at all.
This is on the March update, but I don't use it with a hotspot on the phone though.
I am hearing impaired and have my 6 Pro paired with hearing aids, my car, and my smartwatch. When the phone rings, it is anybody's guess where the phone's sound is going to go. It is so frustrating. In my OnePlus 7 pressing the volume up or down would let you pick where to direct the audio but the pixel doesn't see that as necessary. Boy is it ever!
No issues with the connection to either car, but here's an odd one.
I have a connection to my Samsung Galaxy Watch4 & my Plantronics 5200 headset.
From time to time, if my phone rings, I put on the headset & turn it on, it will connect,'
answer the call, then anywhere from 20-45 seconds later, disconnect the headset and
put the connection back on the phone. Doesn't do it all the time.
Everything is up to date, stock, not rooted.
