heylo everyone,
experiencing a issue which had become a pain !
i have a ford figo with OEM stero (India) which is an awesome one. i had a SE ARC before i moved to HTC One X and with Arc, once paired, there was absoultely no problem ever to pair it again, all i had to do was to switch the bluetooth on and it used to connect.
with HOX, i have a major issue, the first time, it connected flawlessly, was able to make calls, play music from phone thru bluetooth on the stero system. but then comes the problem! it doesnt work the next time, i tried to delete the pairing on both car and phone but with no joy.. i did a factory reset and it again worked once.. next time, it says its connected, but when i play music, it plays on the phone's speakers, i went to music player settings and tried to select the player as bluetooth but doesnt make any difference... i read couple of people having similar but not same problem, some have crackling issue, some are unable to connect, but this is strange, able to connect but only once.. i havent formatted the phone again for this and its a little cumbersome as all my music is on phone and i always used to use the phone to play music.
any help will be much appericiated
I have the same with an after market Sony.
Really erratic pairing. Always pair's phone but not media.
Have to randomly switch it on and off for a while til I get lucky.

It works the same as my SGS2 on my Infiniti (Nissan) nav system both for phone and media. The One X has BT 4.0 which I'm assuming is backwards compatible but it might be a challenge with some systems/devices.

Barry, Possibly yes, but i beleive new technology is always backward compatible ..
anyone had a fix ? i read about some bluetooth stack fixes, but looks like it was for a previous HTC device and not HOX..
I can fairly pin the issue down to your car audio not playing nice with Bluetooth 4.0. Yes, its backwards compatible, but, that's not always a guarantee. Get some other Bluetooth 4.0 devices to check.

My HTC one x with pair perfectly with my Mazda 6 Bluetooth. only thing is the steering wheel controls won't skip music. quite annoying if the wife's tracks come on!
have you tried restarting the phone when this happens? I happens to me now on the HOX and did happen on my old desire. If I restart the phone all connects fine and can phone and listen to music.... although the music stutters. using an aftermarket sony.

This same problem here with after market Sony MEX-BT3800U.
Before I use to have Desire HD, which was fine, now it's a nightmare.
Maybe somebody have more luck with different after market model which works perfectly with HOX ?
Mine is a Sony unit too... Possibly that one off the top of my head. It's annoying as sound quality via aux in is awful due to the low volume

Got the same problem in my Mitsubishi Outlander navigation system.Don't know why.Must be the version of the bluetoot that you'r car isn't recognizing it.You can try to do a factory reset of you'r car stereo,i did that the other day and now seems that it's working well,don't know the reason why.I think that it's the cars fault because the bluetooth headset that i use doesn't seem to have any problems working or connecting to my HTC.Even if you have open "slots" in your car to connect you'r phone,the car doesn't whipe the data of the last phones you used on it,that is why i am saying to do a factory reset.I don't know if you can do it yourself,i went with my car at the Mitsubishi Service,they conected the computer,reseted the navigation system,connected my phone and now works.
I find it ridiculous that a £150 Sony head unit has issues, wheras I have a £20 Nokia cheap bluetooth headset that works flawless, thats a good few years old.
Solved ! Bluetooth Issue when connecting with OEM Car music system
Finally this is solved for me after the 1.28.720.10 Update it now connects flawlessly and works like charm everytime anyone else who had problems tried this ?
Mine works fine with my Ford OEM headunit.

I havent had the update yet so will have to wait for that to try i guess
Mine takes agaes to pair to car BT and then doesnt connect when in range
Same problem here with a Sony head unit.
Phone profile connects flawlessly every time
Media profile seems random (though I have better luck if I leave the head unit on and switch bluetooth off and on again on the phone)
My software version is 1.28.401.9 so I guess I'll sit tight for an update and hope it cures it. I get nothing new if I try to trigger an update, so it's probably a case of waiting for HTC to pull their fingers out
Mine works great with my Sony head unit and am on 1.26.206.2 (o2) I even stream my music flawlessly phone calls work can you not take ur handset back and say its not working and exchange it for another 1

i have a mazda 3 and i have the same issue! i checked the heck out of these forums and havent seen anyone reporting the same issue i have, i was beginning to wonder if it was just me.....
has anyone else had issues with track advancing etc? not just with cars but with other devices like headphones or bt boomboxes? i wonder if the issue persists across devices.
has anyone gotten this to work with the HOX?
I also have weird experiences about the bluetooth-car connection.
On my desire, when i just get in my car, without doing anything else the phone/car would recognize each other and the music on my desire would start playing in the car instantly.
Now on the HOX, phone part always gets connected, no exceptions, media part gets sometimes connected sometimes not, if it gets connected it sometimes starts playing automatically it sometimes does not, and regardless of it plays automatically or not, i sometimes can use the controls on the steering wheel to skip songs and such, but sometimes i cannot.
Any ideas to what is causing these "sometimes"es?
Im on version 1.28.061.9 and mine doesnt connect at all. When pairing it stays on "pairing" for quite a long time and eventually it pairs but then doesnt connect
Tried a second HOX and its the same with that
Hoping that there will be a future update to fix this
This on the OEM bluetooth on a fiat Panda
[SOLUTION IN THIS POST]
There seems to be a compatibility issue with the new Bluetooth 4.0 of my HOX when pairing with some devices that have BT 3.0 version.
My own issue is with the Car Audio System of my 2008 C350 Mercedes Benz. The Bluetooth telephony worked perfectly with my DHD.
Now, I can pair my HOX with the system, but when I receive a call I can hear the other party only for 2 seconds then the voice is gone. As if we've both muted the call.
On the other hand, when I call someone, the phone call goes through just fine.
I've been reading a lot concerning this subject, and it seems that people are having the same problem with their SGIII.
A software update of the SGIII that was released for some carriers seems to have fixed the issue.
Also, my sister's iPhone 4S works fine with the system, even though it has BT 4.0.
So I believe this issue can be fixed, but it needs one of the Gurus on XDA to come up with a fix
My issue was slightly different (phone would pair but not connect) and I got onto my car kit manufacturer (in this case was a parrot system used in a mitsubishi) and found out I could update that. Since updating my car kit have had no problems at all.
That's good to hear. I read somewhere that updating the car system could be a solution.
But I'm hoping a solution could be made on the phone's side.

there might be nothing wrong on the phones side, have you checked to see if you can update your devices that are having problems as suggested?
i've had no issues running even bt2.1 stuff
Updating did not fix the issue.
Other phones (with older versions than BT 4.0) work perfectly.
I don't have access to updating my car's audio system atm, so I'm hoping something could be done on the phone's side.
But since this isn't a very wide spread problem among XDA users, I'm thinking it's not going to be an easy task.
Update:
Today, I tried something. After answering a call, the same thing happened (after 2 seconds I could no longer hear the other party but the call didn't drop)
On my HOX I chose Speaker and I was able to hear the other person talking; switched it back to BT handsfree (my car's audio system) and it worked.
Even though this is not a solution, but at least now I can answer a call when I'm driving. I just have to switch to Speaker then BT... Still better than nothing
Having a similar problem with mine, it pairs fine, I can access the phonebook etc but as soon as you try to make a call the bluetooth disconnects. However, i've found that if you turn the bluetooth off and back on again and re-pair it, it seems to work properly.
Would be nice if it just worked first time though.

After reading about this subject extensively, it seems that updating your car audio system is the best solution.
I suggest you take an appointment with the BMW service station and have them update your system.
yeah, i'm going to look into it. did you get yours sorted?
Bmw bluetooth 4.0
Same problem here on first connect every thing works fine but the next time the connection is lost with the first call.
Bmw doesn't have a update yet.
Would be cool if someone on xda could fix this for us.

No I haven't yet. But I guess I'll try to get an appointment for next week.
For the time being, the workaround I came up with (switching to speaker phone then back to BT during a call), is working for me.

Does the call drop completely? or you simply stop hearing the other party?
I noticed something new today.
During a phone call (connected to Car Audio System), and I receive an SMS, the same thing happens (but the workaround still works).

Have you tried a custom kernel? I recommend Faux
SOLVED
Even though this is an old thread, I wanted to let you know that this issue has been fixed.
By updating my Hboot to 1.31 and using a jelly bean ROM, I no longer have a problem with Handsfree over Bluetooth.
For those of you who are still facing this issue, I hope this helps.
NOTE: Before updating to new Hboot, you need to make sure your CID allows it. Check here.
Also you need to flash a jelly bean ROM afterwards, I use ARHD and it's pretty good!

Cheers!
I just bought a new car, 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid, that the cool kids refer to as HAH, anyways.....
Bluetooth output is sketchy at best.
Sometimes I get the side info like artist names and title songs.
Most of the time the sound has been playing from my phone speakers insteead of the car stereo.
Car indicates that the phone is connected but I cant get the output to function correctly.
Past ROMS and some apps have an output option but i cant seem to find any in youtube or play music.
Old 2012 Honda had no such issues.
thoughts or advice?
thanks
Maybe try to go back to stock and see what happens? What rom are you on?
Make sure you don't have any other Bluetooth devices outputting also like a smartwatch, it will interrupt your phone connection

If you go to System Settings | Bluetooth and then click the gear icon on your current Bluetooth connection, it'll give you options to select media and phone.
Did you verify both were selected? If media is not selected then music won't play on your car stereo.
So I have a 2016 Accord EX-L...The Bluetooth connection is sketchy for me as well. To get it to work I sometimes I have to toggle the Bluetooth on and off on my phone...Sometimes I have to change to a different source on the car head unit and then back to Bluetooth for it to output correctly...Sometimes it shows it is connected but only outputs sound through the phone. Additional, phone calls never worked through Bluetooth in the car. All of this was improved for me through the February security patch. I connect more often automatically like it should and my phone calls work now. However, time to time I have the same issues. I've done some research since I got the phone and it seems to be an issue on 2016 accords and now looks like 2017 have them too. I am holding out that the 7.1.2 update will resolve this problem but I have not found a solution yet.

Bluetooth issues are now getting a lot of press on the usual Android blogs and sites. Google acknowledges that they are working on it. So there is hope.

Yep! http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-random-bluetooth-disconnects-pixel-pixel-xl/
Last update screwed up bluetooth for sure. Literally bought a new SUV a couple days before I got the update. The phone worked like a dream with the 12 speaker Sony head unit before and now can be a nightmare at times.
Looks like google has a fix, but no ETA on release.
http://phandroid.com/2017/02/24/google-identifies-bluetooth-issue-pixel/
At least Google admits something is wrong and a fix is in the works. I'm glad I don't have any issues on Resurrection Remix ROM with my 2013 toyota rav4.
Has anyone had any luck on getting their pixel to consistently connect to their Honda Accord? If I restart my phone it will be fine for the day but continue with the issue after that. Sometimes if I toggle "media audio" on and off it will connect normally. Other than that I have the same old issue. Has anyone solved this through rooting?
I have to toggle media on every time I connect to my Kia pixel kind of sucks

Hey all,
So I got the OTA Oreo update a few days ago and my Bluetooth seems to be working better so far. It connects to my car consistently and fully (I can control it from the head unit and the song info displays).
Only once has it had an issue like it use to before the update where it shows it connects but plays music through the phone.
Hopefully the update solves some of the issues we have been having to deal with!
So I had been on the beta version since it was released and participated a few times in the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/android-o-beta-issues-t3609335 and others were having the same issue.
The issue is no song/artist information being displayed on my touchscreen stereo, and I cannot use the stereo to pause/skip to the next track (I have to do it through my phone). Ive tried a local audio player, Google Music, and Pandora all to no avail. The deck is a Pioneer double-din AVH-P8400BH.
In my daily car, my phone bluetooth name appears and I can change song ect thru the deck. It is not a touchscreen and it probably 10 years old.
Ive gone into the bluetooth settings and have tried changing the AVRCP from 1.4 to 1.6 (neither work), and audio codec from default to enable optional (neither worked).
Anything else I should try out?
TIA

mine has awful streaming. It has so many skips...snags...audio blanks...whatever term you want to call it....its not "uninterrupted".
I was hoping google IMPROVED Bluetooth. I don't understand why they have this struggle to be honest. Its 2017....Bluetooth is not new technology.
Maybe they should stop expanding their department to provide data to the government to spy on private citizens using smart devices, and they would use those resources to fix bluetooth
Pioneer brand head units in particular I have seen Bluetooth streaming issues when paired to flagship model phones for years...even back as far as my LG G3. I got a Kenwood head unit instead, never had an issue.
As far a the Pixel XL and BT streaming...I have only had issues with dropouts zap sounds or pops, when i am out mowing my back property with my tractor...phone in pocket and BT headphones on. But my previous phones did this...most certainly due to the railroad nearby and high rise high voltage power lines and towers that are above me in that area.

Pioneer uses a cheaper bluetooth and never updates the firmware of the chips to fully support the available Bluetooth profiles even when they are developing their units and new profile updates are available. I have had a very long and annoying history with them to the point where I was in direct contact with their build team after all my complaining. That was back in 2012. Never used another of their products again. :good:
I have the same issue on my Chevy Colorado 2017. Everything works fine on Spotify on my Huawei Mate 9, and iPhone 7. It also worked fine on 7.1.2. Spotify works and music comes through but no info is displayed. I unpaired both things with no success. Frustraring.
I tried unpairing mine as well, no luck either

I have not. Ill give it a shot today.
No idea if this problem is related or not but might be worth a check if you have time. First time I put Oreo on my phone it was fine. Then I screwed something up and just ADB flashed the image again. Everything was fine until I tried bluetooth a few days later. It wouldn't connect until ticking that media box many times. Then I flashed the image again and it worked fine again.
So I just got the 8.0 OTA (not on beta). I see in the dev options that it shows what BT codec it is using.
I have noticed that only the option "Bluetooth AVRCP Version:" is the only value that changin it does it stick. The other setting appear to be on auto and revert to auto depending on what device u pair supports.
My first test on my Kenwood KDC-BT762HD it paired fine and it said it was using AptX. Streamed for a few min fine. Then after I got back in the car and it auto paired, music started skipping every several seconds. I turned radio off then on to repair it and it started streaming fine again....but was using SBC according to Dev options.
When I changed AVRCP version to 1.6.....it connects and uses AptX fine. However, the radio display no longer displays the BT media metadata(title/artist), but the controls on the radio still work. I change to AVRCP ver 1.4 and that restores metadata, but then it uses SBC again. (using ver 1.5 results in SBC and no metadata).
I don't really care about the song info not being displayed on my radio....but definitely seems to be something fishy with BT in this new update.
EDIT Update: so now I am noticing it auto re-connecting and using SBC all the time now. WOnt use aptX unless i delete the device and re-pair it. then it works for a few reconnects, but then drops to sbc cagin.
Thanks for posting, I won't be updating. The Bluetooth has never been right and now seems to have regressed.

i agree and although i dont get the proper song listing on my car stereo it seems everything else is better. on nougat my BT headset i use for work all day (moto buds) would often stop connecting properly and i would make a call and have to select "phone" then "headset" again to get audio back on headset and om Oreo it happens less frequently

If you switch to a rom that uses the CAF based bluetooth (all lineageos based ones should, crDroid does for sure as that is what I use) implementation this won't happen. Still haven't been able to track down exactly why, but for now I'm sticking with CAF based ROMs to avoid this.
Do any of you guys having this issue have an Android wear watch? I've had heaps of issues with Bluetooth streaming being all "jittery" and just skipping since the update. However, I found this is basically completely fixed when I turn my android wear (LG urbane) off, or at least the Bluetooth on it.
Tried all the developer options for BT but hasn't made a difference. At the moment, my solution is turning off BT on my watch when I'm listening to music. Bit crap but it works.
I have factory reset the watch and cleared BT cache on pixel.
Any other ideas?
Is anyone else still having problems with Bluetooth on Oreo? I was hoping the official 8.1 release would help me, but I'm seeing no change. I have a Kenwood BT952HD, and experience issues similar to what the OP describes. Audio is plays fine, no unreasonable stuttering. But I get no song info, and can't skip tracks. Also, the pairing isn't as automatic. Every time I turn on the car, I have to wake the phone up, and wait for the pairing to complete, which takes longer than usual.
I've tried playing with the AVRCP settings, along with clearing registrations at both ends and repairing, with no luck. Is anyone else still seeing similar issues?
8.1 working fine with my Kenwood BT762HD. I use PowerAmp v2 alpha build 704 app.
So, since I got my 3xl in October, the audio information would not show in my truck. A person on here showed me the dev settings to make this work back in like December or January (out of the box settings do NOT work though, which is ridiculous). And it did, at least until the February patch. Now it works sometimes, others it either doesn't show, or shows the info from the first song indefinitely. Also, when I first got it, there was no skipping (like my 2xl did the entire time I had it), after the November update, it skips... Is anyone else having any of these issues? I've messed around with the Bluetooth settings in dev options, and nothing seems to work for long. This is super annoying. I have an hour round trip commute, and I drive a lot otherwise, so, being able to see what's playing is important.
How does Google mess up Bluetooth so bad anyway? I've had like 6 other Android phones, and NONE of them ever had stupid issues. Seems like Google needs to hire some better engineers for dealing with it.
I'm sorry to hear you're having this experience. I've never had a single Bluetooth problem.
I have not so good experience with Bluetooth as well. Sometimes my Samsung gear S3 doesn't auto connect. I need to go into settings.
Bluetooth is crap on this phone totally agree otherwise good phone but disappointed in bt performance
I actually did a factory reset when the January patch came out even. Didn't fix it at all.
What developer settings are you talking about? I haven't had any real bluetooth issues, BUT, almost all of my recent flagships have had audio delay issues through bluetooth. It's not a lot, but it's annoying watching Youtube with about a second delay.

Bluetooth AVRCP version. You can change which version it uses. It's kind of a trial and error but sometimes you get lucky and find that a different version works better with some of your Bluetooth devices.

Hm, I'll have to try that tomorrow with the car and see if I still have a delay, that would be awesome to fix. It is a 2013 so it's using old tech
What kind of head unit are you talking about in your car? Some specs there might be helpful to determine if this is a phone specific issue or has to do with your car's stereo itself. Reason I say this is my old Kenwood KDX-897 receiver in my truck started acting up with Bluetooth and I was able to confirm it's the receiver itself that's having issues not my phone. Not surprising considering the unit is probably about 5 years old now from when I bought it new. You may want to look into updating your receivers firmware which may solve this issue (if possible) or looking at a new head unit. Just some food for thought.

How does Google mess up Bluetooth so bad anyway? I've had like 6 other Android phones, and NONE of them ever had stupid issues. Seems like Google needs to hire some better engineers for dealing with it.

Do you have any issues with headphones or other bluetooth speakers?

What kind of head unit are you talking about in your car? Some specs there might be helpful to determine if this is a phone specific issue or has to do with your car's stereo itself. Reason I say this is my old Kenwood KDX-897 receiver in my truck started acting up with Bluetooth and I was able to confirm it's the receiver itself that's having issues not my phone. Not surprising considering the unit is probably about 5 years old now from when I bought it new. You may want to look into updating your receivers firmware which may solve this issue (if possible) or looking at a new head unit. Just some food for thought.

It's the stock 2018 Nissan Pathfinder head unit. I did not have the info not showing problem with my 2xl with the same SUV. I'll check if there's an update when I have it in the shop in a couple weeks. It DID work fine though before the Feb. update. I did have to change the dev settings though, as I said, out of the box did not work... The cutting out seems to have gone away, at least for now, so, that's an improvement. Hopefully, the March patch fixes the other issue.
Also, there is not cutting out that I've heard ever on my Bluetooth speaker. Obviously, it does not show audio info.

I have the same issue on my 2011 Mazda 3, though my OnePlus 6 works with it fine. Of course, the OP6 can't connect to by earbuds, so there is that. Audio does seem to be working fine, no drop outs or anything, but that track info seems to be gone for good. None of the AVCRP options worked for me beyond 1-2 songs either. Though, in my case, it's been that way since Marshmallow - I've always kind of assumed it was the updated BTs, they're backwards compatible for the audio, but not for the track info it seems. Once we hit 4.0 it dropped out (again except the OP6).

I should also add, my wife's Moto Z2 Force has ZERO issues with my Pathfinder. It shows info always, no cutouts, nothing at all, and out of box Bluetooth settings. I really doubt it's my SUV's head unit. It also has Bluetooth 5.
the weirdest things happen to me with bluetooth.. even on the latest update.. i'll be streaming to my wireless jabra's and all of a sudden music stops. it's not disconnected. music didn't pause but it isn't playing either, i have to start the track over, doesn't happen otherwise .
PS it happens the same to my bluetooth speaker
almost same here with latest updates.

it's so annoying, i yelled out at my phone in frustration yesterday when it did it 9 times while at home playing music via bt speaker
I can definitely confirm the Feb. update didn't fix my problem. I even removed the phone from my car and vice versa, nada. I just cleared data from YouTube music then reinstalled. I'm going to see what that does. If nothing, I give up. This is seriously going to become a deal breaker if they can't make their sh$t work right... Music is what I use this phone the most for.

Sooo, I cleared the data and reinstalled YouTube music. It seemed to work, even so I was able to put Bluetooth on the out of box settings (codec). Or, so I thought... It worked for two days then out of nowhere it won't show the info at all again, no matter what I change the settings to... I've reconnected and reinstalled again. Nothing. This is effing ridiculous. $950 phone and Bluetooth, which has been out since the mid 2000's, won't work right. This is really starting to sway me towards looking for a different phone. If I can find a stock Android one that releases updates within 30 days or so anyway. Ugh

I have a 2018 Pathfinder work a pixel 3 xl too. I do have strange Bluetooth issues too. However I blame the Pathfinder because when I use my Jabra Bluetooth receiver and my motion66 Bluetooth earphones the Pathfinder is the only way that is wonky.
The worst thing with the Pathfinder is the delay. I think it buffers the audio for me so everything is delayed. I push play/pause on the Pathfinder and there is a several second delay. Additionally when streaming YouTube and audio through Pathfinder there is a delay.

Mine seems to work with my Plantronics headphones and my Anker speaker fine also. Thing is though, this was not a problem with my 2xl. It cut out a bit, but always showed the info and no delay. My 3xl stopped cutting out with the Feb update, but the audio info is all over the place. It's currently back. It'll start being crazy again I'm sure. I'm not sure I can blame my Pathfinder though? I will try with my wife's Mazda 3 (2016) to see what happens there. My wife's Moto Z2 Force works perfectly with my Pathfinder BTW.
