Hey guys,
So okay, I am having an issue and have not been abe to solve it for a week now. Allow me to start...
I have the sony MDR-1RBT headphones. I've had them since last February and have used them without any problems. Connection, set up, and usage has always been a breeze. Until recently.
I started my day and connected my headphones like usual and it said they were connected. Cool. Went to play music and it played through my phone. Not sure why. Tried to make a call, audio went through bluetooth device. So they say they are connected and playing through the bluetooth device but is clearly is not.
Things I have tried to fix it:
power cycling phone and headphones
disconnecting and reconnecting bluetooth connection
gone into device settings and made sure media was checked for my bluetooth device
researched through the internet
followed what the person on this link suggested: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...r-playing-note-2-music-but-does-do-calls.html
The last step, when I tried it it connected! Yay! Then I turned the headphones and bluetooth off and went to turn em on again and it went back to not working. Tried the same method and it didnt work.
I am running on an LG G2 Rooted but not ROM'd. I know the issue is not with my headphones because I tried to connect the device to my Jawbone Jambox and it did not work on that either. I am not sure why it is not working.
I consider myself pretty tech-savvy and I am pretty upset that I haven't been able to figure it out. Let me know what you guys think.
When you go to your phone bluetooth setting with a list of paired devices, do you see 1RBT listed in there as "connected to phone and media audio"? This is very important because it sounds like it's only connected to phone but not media audio.
Do you have any other bt devices you paired up with your phone? Like wireless speaker or another set of headphones? Quite often if you have a few with power, there will be a race condition which one gets connected as media. But since you said music was playing through your phone speaker, I assume there is not conflict with another device. But nevertheless, just delete all your previously paired up devices in Bluetooth list to make sure there is no conflict. Remove 1RBT as well. After you remove everything, reboot the phone, and do a fresh pair up with 1RBT. See if that helps?
Also, try to pair up these headphones with another device, either phone or a tablet to make sure there is no issues with bluetooth radio on your phone. If you have access to another bluetooth device, try to pair it up with your phone to make sure everything is working as expected.
Let me know the results, and we will go from there.

my device is rooted. i did a factory reset but the problem remains unfixed. please help. i have installed g3 tweaksbox but i dont see any mods that is related to music apps. i dont know what to do. i have considered unrooting and flashing stock rom.
I was having the same problem until I realized the volume on my jawbone itself was turned down.
Vectron's Suggestion Worked For My Bluetooth Headphones
I was heaving the same issue as the OP all morning. My Beats66 Bluetooth headphones were working just fine since I got my Alcatel Idol 4, with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) phone through wireless provider CricKet, just 2 days ago. I primarily purchased the headphones for placing phone calls, just because most Bluetooth headsets I have purchased, and Android phones in general, are too low volume for my impaired hearing to make out. However, I do listen to music on them as well.
This morning as I am exiting a taxi, I hear music coming from my backpack. Somehow, something launched one of my music apps, probably the buttons and screen were activated while items in the backpack pressed against them. The settings said Media and Phone were connected to Beats66, and the phone did come through the headphones only, but the music would only play on the phone's external speakers.
I found this thread from a Google search, and Vector's post was helpful for me. I went to Bluetooth settings and highlighted Beats 66 headphones, then selected "Forget." I rebooted the phone, paired the headphones, and all my music apps play through the headphones now. Lets see how long it lasts right? Since this is a brand new out of the box phone, I did install numerous Apps, all of which want user authentication, permissions, and countless settings and permissions to interact with other Apps and phone hardware. Hopefully with everything getting set up the way I like my phone, (I'm particular about everything, or I just find the phone annoying rather than a tool), I won't make anymore changes that will alter the operating status of the headphones.
Thank you
I am experiencing the exact same issue on my LG G3 with my Skull Candy Wireless headphones. The headphones pair and phone audio works, but Pandora, Google Music and any other streaming audio app plays over the phone speaker. I noticed that I received a Carrier OTA software update on Jan 17, 2017 and am wondering if that is when it may have charged. The only way to resolve it so far has been to clear the BT cache. This is temporary fix as when you attempt to pair again it is back to only phone audio and no music audio.
My headset is not working with music until you turn off the phone audio just to play music. My phone is Lenovo A2010-a and my headset is Nia X2. Please help

Ever get this resolved? Still having this issue and so far only fix for me has been using Ti Backup to nuke all the bluetooth data, rebooting and then it'll connect fine. I also have Skullcandy BT headphones. Trying my car's BT too to no avail. Same problem. I think this is the same issue: https: //forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/bluetooth-calls-media-audio-t2837471/page4
I ended up buying an Amazon​ Moto G4 as it is slated to get Android 7.0. I honestly believe it had something to do with the last security update LG pushed out. Since the G3 is not updating I will attempt to root and rom at some point though recent search seem to show the LG G3 can't be rooted.

I rooted mine fine with Kingroot. Get Kingroot, root, install twrp and flash supersu then delete Kingroot. Worked for me at least.
As far as this BT bug with the G3 I don't have anything better than the data wipe workaround so far, so good luck with the Moto.
Thanks guys. I also had the same problem but i restarted my phone and my music is just playing. Yah!!!!!!!!!!
I have looked through 16 pages and have not found a solution.

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.

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.
I had the HTC One M8 before this phone and when I played a song via bluetooth in my car, the song info would show on my car display. Now, when I play a song using my Note, it doesn't show any data anymore. Is there a setting I need to activate to show bluetooth metadata or does the Note just not support that? I'm using Spotify btw.
I have the Sony Bluetooth adapter for my headphones and it shows the metadata just fine.
I'm not getting metadata displayed on the Pioneer Z150 in my car, but when I paired it up in my sister in law's Buick Enclave, it works. I can't find any settings in the phone, and Poweramp, my media player, has all of its settings correct.
Mine works fine. Show all it's data. Pandora, even shows the album cover
Yesterday I paired with a Kia rental I was using while my truck was being serviced. The phone displayed a message that Kia wanted to access information on my device when I paired the two. I declined the request and no data displayed. I imagine the data would have displayed had I accepted the request.
Unpair the phone and try again. If the information request pops up, accept it. Maybe that will solve your issue.

I have a q50 and had the same issue. it was hell... I have gotten so spoiled by seeing the info on dash. Anyway, I spent some time playing with the settings and found these work in poweramp.
I'm not sure if album art works with this configuration... I could never get it working on note 3, either...I think it's a limitation of the q...
Edit: These settings are in power amp under bluetooth. I believe the sony 3 setting is the one that fixed it, however It did NOT immediately fix it. Skipping forward/back from device or head unit didn't make any difference. There's no real details on the page of how they work All i know is I ran through the settings, got to 3, it didn't work... got into and out of the car a few times through regular use...and it worked... its been working all weekend.

I'll be giving this a shot... but I can't imagine that I should have to do this. I'm not getting tag data from any Bluetooth streaming source... Sonza, Pandora, Samsung music player or Poweramp.
I highly doubt those settings will fix anything except poweramp... For me this is a complete fix, as I use it exclusively

I see allot of people with the metadata not showing issue as well as my self with the Note 4. Had no problem with my Note 3. I have a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. Hoping for a fix.
The Note4 has a newer Bluetooth stack, 4.1, which has an updated AVRCP profile. (Audio Video Remote Control Protocol). My the steering wheel controls on my 2013 car worked fine in PocketCasts to skip tracks, Pause/FF/Rewind on the Note3, but now nothing works with the Note4.
I've done a bit of searching around on it, and it seems maybe a firmware update for the car's audio system (Mark Levinson) could resolve, I have an email into my service rep....
Following up from my previous fix... It worked solid for a week or two... Then decided to stop working right... Now it works for a couple days, and doesn't work for a couple days
I use Google Music to stream music in my car (2013 Nissan Altima), but this issue is occurring regardless of what streaming service I use. I upgraded from an LG G3, and when streaming, my car's stereo would display track information. After switching to the G4, it will still stream the music perfectly fine, but it is not displaying the track info. To verify it wasn't an issue with either just my phone, or the car stereo, yesterday I connected a friends G4, and it wouldn't display the info. But when connecting another friends G3, it would display it fine. The G4's are of course on 5.1, and both my friends G3 and my old one were on 5.0. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Same issue here too. Coming from Samsung S5 running 4.2. Worked flawlessly. After switching to the LG G4, Android 5.1 track information will not display when connected to car radio via bluetooth. Music still plays just fine, though.
I only tried with tunein and I did get info displayed.

My G4 won't automatically connect to my '14 Subaru WRX. The only way to get it to connect for me is to manually go into Bluetooth settings and select it. Even then, sometimes it takes 2-3 times for it to actually connect. Once I get it connected, it streams music fine, but doesn't display any track info. It's pretty annoying.
I did some research on this and found out people with the note 4 were having similar issues. Some suggesting it could be the difference in BT version between our phones and cars?
I have a pioneer fh-x700bt head unit and I'm having the same issue. Phone works like it should. All my call information is there, audio sounds great. Media also sounds great. Just not getting track info. I use Amazon music and iHeartRadio. Never had a problem with my htc one m7.

Mine is displaying track information, but seems to randomly freeze on a song, and then stop updating. Music plays fine, but the track info gets stuck. Mostly using Poweramp.
Never had any issues with my Note 3.

For the not re-connecting after upgrading to a G4, try adding the BT device (car) to the Smart Lock trusted devices list. Also, might also be good to try unparing the devices, re-paring and adding to the Smart Lock trusted devices list.
As far as BT streaming goes, I'm having sound quality issues with my G4. Regardless of what music app I use, BT streaming audio is distorted. Gain seems to be set very high. Posted it here.
Seems as though no one has figured out the song information display issue.
I hope this will get fixed, it's pretty annoying.

It really is. As silly as it may sound, the native bluetooth support on the stock stereo played a part in my decision when I decided to buy my car. My old car, I used a bluetooth receiver plugged into the aux port, but I really liked that I could use the steering wheel to change tracks (which I still can), and that it displayed song info with my new car.
I made a post on the Google support forums, but didn't get a response
Maybe we can make some noise about this to LG? It's not just a particular G4 model that isn't working. It's across the board.

Hey guys ,
So iam having a problem with the bluetooth and its just making me crazy.
I have a BT system in my car (Seat leon) , the phone should auto connect to it and it does , but it only connects to the phone option , not the music streaming option.
IN the phone BT menu both calling and music is marked as active , and yet it wont connect to the music thing , only if i manually disable BT and enable it again.
Please note that none other phone had this problem , my iphone 6+ never had this nor the note 4.
Please help.
I have this exact problem with the H815, and the same car!
Strangely, the very first time I paired it the music audio worked fine, but every time I've tried since I've hit this issue. I even tried re-pairing and it still hit this issue. It seems like the car half thinks the music profile is connected, as BT appears in the "media" input options, and it even comes up with the track name that I was last playing (although this might just be the car remembering it). But sounds doesn't come through, and audio controls don't work.
I didn't see this precise issue mentioned elsewhere (although did see various other complaints about this phone and car BT audio), so I'm wondering if it's specific to the Leon or that's just a huge coincidence?
Well i dont know if its a car specific however , i did try several other phones and so far only the G4 has this problem.
Honestly iam considering replacing it since i always listen to music from my phone , and i have a 1 hour drive to and from work every day...
Such a small thing and such a big impact , unbelievable.
Works perfectly with the H815L on my car. I can hear music, television sound, recorded files,
radio station from tunein radio and everything else... It's not a problem with the device but rather with your
car system or you don't know how to operate it correctly...
dilgit ,
Did you even read what i asked ? , every thing is working when i connect it manually , but when i enter the car and it should connect automatically it connect only to the BT phone function rather then both phone and media options.
When talking with carkit it always cuts voice after 1-2 minutes ,I must press Bluetooth icon on call screen to reconnect again
Hi chundrik,
Have you solved this yet? I am disappointed that theres still no software update to fix this (version 10b for H815 didnt help). I mailed LG who say they think its a hardware fault but seems unlikely to me?

Fixed it! Turned out the leon needed a bluetooth firmware update. Not the phone's fault after all!

Just curious, how do you go about updating Bluetooth module in your car? I've never seen an option to do that in any of the cars I've had..

This. I'm having the same issue with my sonata. Never had this problem with 4 previous android devices

I just googled it. Turned out you can download new firmware and stick it on a usb drive or cd and the car loads it automatically!

Same issue with TaoTronics TT-BR03
If have exactly the same issue with TaoTronics TT-BR03 (bluetooth hifi car adapter) . First connection is good, reconnecting fails or only connection for phone calls is established. If I press play/pause on the bluetooth adapter then the sound starts and stops from the phone speaker!
I suspect there won't be an update for TaoTronics...
