[Q] pandora keeps skipping to next song only over bluetooth

im using hellkat the 2/23/14 build (I have t-mobile galaxy s2)...its a great ROM everything seems to be working fine except for streaming pandora via bluetooth.
When i start pandora (using version 5)...the music plays fine no issues. But when I turn on BT to stream to car or any other device the music just keeps skipping to next track (skips after attempting to play the current selection for about 10 secs....i say attempting because it stays on the current track attempts to play it but i dont hear anything and neither the progress_bar for song nor timer move).
Before Hellkat I was using BeanStalk 4.4.2 and pandora was streaming fine over BT.
Things I have tried to fix this none of these worked:
1. Turning off wifi then streaming
2. Went in to bluetooth setting > 'Visibility Timeout' > set to 'never'
3. Tried un-installing pandora and reinstalling.
4. Went into recovery mode, wiped cache/ delvik cache
I believe this is not a bluetooth issue because I can stream youtube audio over BT from my phone to external speakers/laptop/car and that works fine.
Is there a fix for this issue that I just can not find or is this known 'issue'? Any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks

Same problem here. I decided to switch over to Dirty Unicorn and everything works fine. Better battery life too. Unfortunately I could not post in the developer's thread to inform them of the problem.

similar behavior from other streaming audio apps
Have similar behavior on other streaming apps:
Spotify:
as soon as BT is turned on and connection is established there is no sound from phone or device the music is being streamed to. But the track does not keep skipping to next one like in pandora...its just silence.
if i turn BT off (on other device) while the song is 'playing' seems like the song status changes to 'pause' after a minute or so and if i press play ...music resumes with sound only from the phone.
Grooveshark:
If song already playing then establishing BT connection then nothing changes sound still comes from phone.
But if BT is established already then there is no sound from phone or other device. Until you break connection then press play on another selectin then sound resumes from the phone. I did a double check to make sure the volume was not turned down.
Rdio:
If BT is already established we get 'Media Player Error for {song}'
If we turn off BT and wait there is still not sound but it eventually causes reboot once it loops through a certain number of songs.
If you start rdio with BT off (turned off on remote device) then song starts with sound from phone.
If we turn on BT while a song is playing, connection is established but sound still comes from phone. But if you try to skip to next song, get Media player error again.

Having the same issue on Samsung exhilarate and cm 11 nightlies. It worked at one point in cm 11, but I can't pinpoint when it went awry...

Did anyone find the resolution to this problem? I switched to Dirty Unicorn and it works on and off. Sometimes it even turned off my bluetooth and I would have to reboot my phone to turn it back on.

Music Player does likewise
I have been using Avatar Rom for the last year or so and as most roms, it has its issues now and again. I am currently running the latest version based on CM11 and since I can't post on the developer thread I thought I would add my 2 cents here.
I have a set of bluetooth headphones and they work just fine except for recenlty on the latest kitkat verson of Avatar rom. It connects fine to the headphones. I can even start and stop the music from playing using the headset buttons, but when I hit play, the music progress bar goes full scale and hangs there for a time after which it advances to the next track and does the same thing. During all this there is no sound from the headphones. When I disconnect bluetooth it will then, after a time, begin to play the music from the phone speaker. I restored an earlier version of Avatar and tried it and it worked fine. I think it was a later version of Jelly Bean.
At any rate, it appears there is an issue with the CM11 KitKat. It may be KitKat all together. Since I haven't the posting history to post on the developer forum I decided to do it here. There was one post from someone on the develper thread that is having the same issue. Unfortunately the Avatar developement thread has very little activity and little or none from the developer. They are, however, still updating. At least they have a week or so ago.
Edit: Since there doesn't seem to be any immediate fixes for this issue I have reverted back to an earlier version of Avatar which uses CM 3.0.101 dated Jan 25th. This is working for now with the bluetooth headphones. I'll continue to use this one until such time as the issue is resolved or I find a ROM I like better.

I'm starting to think that the problem is with KitKat and not any specific custom ROM. I recently flashed The Collective and everything is working pretty good. The con to this is that the functions like "volume wake" is not implemented in this version
I also ran a search for "bluetooth" on each of the posts regarding new and active ROMs and it seems that their are very little mentioning of any fixes to this problem. It is as if there are little testing done regarding pairing the phone's bluetooth with the car's system. I would love to have this problem address but it seems that I don't have the correct amount of post to raise up the problem in the developer's thread. I hope this post catches developer's attention regarding this matter.
At the end of the day, I still love all these developers' work because without them, the S2 would've been dead a long time ago. :good:

Same issue.
Phone= Note 3 running TW kitkat on Tmobile
Connecting device: Ca-Fi Android head unit
Thinking its a Kit Kat issue. My head unit works fine when connected to another wifi source. Pandora never starts playing music. Just skips through songs.
I try streaming from phone to headunit over blutooth and pandora on phone keeps not responding. i have done factory resets, different phone roms, dns edits, congestion mods, network tweaks. same behavior regardless.

Fixed by turning off voice over LTE

Bluetooth problems

I recently switch from Iphone to LG G3. Really liking it. Rooted and still on OEM Rom.
When I was using Iphone the bluetooth system had a feature that would interrupt whatever was playing similar to a phone call coming in. This could be used for nav directions, text notifications, etc. My G3 does not have this feature and the only way to hear the prompts is if I am actively on Bluetooth source. From what I have been able to find Android does not have this feature either. Does anyone know of anything similar or a workaround that would offer this feature?
Thank you

Can you be more specific? My G3, along with my past android devices, will pause or turn down the music for a notification sound /navigation to play. Some apps have more control as to how they interrupt or are interrupted.

Google Play 'on watch' shows 'watch is disconnected' but it *is* connected

I have a Moto360 that until last week, played music on the watch via Google Play. However, about a week ago, playing music on the watch failed (error below) and the storage appeared to be clear
THE ERROR: When I choose Google Play music and 'Play on watch', a green circle spins a while, then watch displays a message "Phone is disconnected. Reconnect to download tracks."
This while the watch shows 'Connected' in the Android Wear watch app on the phone, there is no little 'cloud' symbol on the watch face and *all other watch functions operate perfectly.* For instance I can control music and my podcast app on my phone form the watch, it can send SMS messages etc.
I have done a factory re-set on the watch and no change.
Storage shows 2.5 GB clear. Yes, I have downloaded songs on my phone (it worked for quite a while after all).
Anyone come across this message before?
Watch Software: Android wear v. 1.3.0.2166028 and Android version 5.1.1
HTC One M9 Android 5.1 - up to date on AT&T

I am also having this exact issue.
I've tried rolling back the music app, toggling the wear settings inside of the music app, hard resetting the watch.
LG G4
Moto 360

Same issue. Seems to occurred when Google Play and Play Services updated last month. Note: Both have had several updates do not know which one screwed it up on my watch.

same here - very frustrating!

Sony SBH54 with MI 6 issues.

Hi,
Its hardly 2 days, while I'm using Sony SBH54 with Xiaomi Mi6, and up till now, it worked very well, except for two major issues:
1. I can't receive notifications from any app, despite of giving full permissions on phone to its assistant app, and apps sending notifications.
2. I can't dial the number from call logs, although call logs are displaying and I can navigate them.
One minor issue is, if I play music from Pulsar music app, SBH54 can't display the track details, it only shows MI6 playing. But if I shutdown its assistant app from Mi6, while Pulsar is still playing, device starts displaying the music track information. However, when I changed my music player to Media Monkey along with its assistant app running, device worked fine and displayed the music track information. So it looks like, its assistant app is not cooperative with every music player.
However when I used it with LG Nexus 6, SBH54 was able to receive and display notifications. I tried with Google+ and Google Play.
So, I guess, it might be some issue with Mi6.
Can someone please through a light on these issues with Mi6?
Note: I used both phones simultaneously connected...
I will update if I find anything else...
Thanks

Question [solved]Has anybod run into this Bluetooth issue, which is not device related

Hi all,
I am not very sure whether to post here.
Everything is fine with my Bluetooth except for one issue, which might not be device related.
It seemed that since Android 11, for a fresh system, Pixel 3 Bluetooth works well with my car, but after using several days, the media playing and automatically audio switch is well, but the screen in the car does not switch automatically. I have to pause the playing then resume the playing, then the screen comes back with corresponding media info.
After I upgraded to Pixel 6, a similar issue also appears.
This is really annoying but for iPhone, no similar issue shows up.
The media player in my car is an Android device.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Under developer option
Change Bluetooth AVRCP version from 1.6 to 1.3
Now fixed the track ID syncing issue

delete, op fixed the issue
