I am using my HTC One M9 phone (5.1 Lollipop) with my 2014 BMW sound system. The phone connection works fine, but when streaming audio via bluetooth (i.e. phone as media source), it will play for a few seconds and then stop. Both the car display and the phone show audio has stopped. Pressing play on the phone causes it to play for a few more seconds and then stop again.
This seems to be a new problem, perhaps associated with an upgrade of Android from 5.0 to 5.1.
Has anyone else seen this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone.
I was hoping I could get some guidance as to what to do about a problem I'm having with streaming audio over bluetooth.
I have my Incredible with the (latest?) radio version 2.15.00.07.28, running CyanogenMod 6.00-R3.
The problem I'm experiencing goes like this:
I have an audio track (I've tried many).
I can play the track normally through the phone speaker or headphones using the default music player, MixZing, or any other music application.
Then I connect to my Motorola T505 Bluetooth car adapter.
Upon starting the track, it will only play about one second of the track at a time, before pausing for about a second. The track timer pauses as well. It feels like lag of some sort, as if the application is slowing down because of the bluetooth connection.
If I disconnect from the T505, it resumes normally.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I've searched but have yet to find anyone with a similar problem.
If there is any further information you need, let me know.
Thanks for your help!
This may not apply to you on CM6, but on my stock Dinc turning wifi off fixed the BT stuttering.
Is anyone having problems with their bluetooth locking up? I am getting various issues that all seem to be related to the bluetooth. I routinely connect to a Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth speakerphone in my car and stream music, mostly Pandora but sometimes google music or other players.
This morning I turned on the speakerphone and immediately watchdog told me that bluetoothd and pandora services were both stuck at 40% each. I hadn't even launched pandora since the last reboot. Had to restart the phone.
Other times I will go to turn on the speakerphone and it will not connect. I try to turn bluetooth on and off. It shuts off fine but hangs turning on. Usually about 30 seconds later the entire phone becomes unresponsive and I have to restart it by holding power. Putting it in and out of flight mode does the same thing.
Still other times I will shut the speakerphone off or walk out of range and the bluetooth icon on the phone continues to show connected. Sound may or may not come out of the phone and the volume control says bluetooth audio. Again restarting bluetooth locks up the phone and requires a restart.
Lastly sometimes bluetoothd and/or pandora will randomly go haywire and hang with high CPU utilization.
Anybody else seeing any or all of these symptoms or have any ideas. I am rooted and have the 2.3.6 update. Pretty sure the problems were occuring before the update, not sure about before the root.
Thanks...
Yes I am having similar problems when using bluetooth to connect to my home based panasonic DECT phone system. A reboot of the phone does repair the issue. It seems to occur every 24-72 hours, if the phone is not rebooted. My blackberry connects via bluetooth to the same panasonic phone system without issue. I suppose it could be a problem between multiple bluetooth devices. I suspect it is a SW bug though, because a simple reboot has always resolved the problem for me.
Do you have pandora installed? I uninstalled it yesterday and haven't had the problem yet. Did plenty of streaming with Google Music.
One thing I forgot to add. When the device says that is connected and sending out audio over the bluetooth, such as music, but it is really not, I get a moment of audio out of the built in speakers before it turns off.

Yes....we do have pandora installed...and now that you mention it; I believe it is quite possible that we only have the problem when we run pandora after a reboot. Because for the past few days there has been no issue. And I believe during this time I have not been using pandora. If it is Pandora...hopefully a future pandora bug fix will repair the issue.
Since I uninstalled Pandora I have not had a single lockup in almost two weeks. I guess I'll message Pandora and see if they'll fix it.
Edit - Looks like they may have fixed it. Crossing fingers.
What's New
What's in this version:
The Search hard key now takes you to the Pandora station search screen
"Now Playing": next track information is shown much sooner
"Now Playing": album art is now always scaled correctly
Fix crash when toggling Bluetooth on/off
Fix display of genre station lists on Android 2.3.4 and above
Many low level bug fixes and stability enhancements fixing crashes and application hangs
Hello everyone,
I have a stock LG G3 (D852/Fido) with the OTA update to Android 5.01 installed (I had the phone for a week before they pushed the OTA).
I have a Subaru Forester with the Clarion CF625UM radio. My phone connects with Bluetooth every time. The music plays perfectly, and the phone audio the callers/called hear is perfect. The problem is with the in car phone audio. So much chuffing that I cannot hear the callers. I have tried the phone on other CF625UM radios with the same result. Someone tried an iPhone 6 on my radio, worked perfectly so I'm guessing it's my phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
V

I have this problem when playing music through my speakers on my car. What I do every time I get in the car is connect and begin to play music. Then I got to my recents tab and clear everything. This will kill the music and the phone will still be connected via bluetooth. Now everything works fine -- for me.
Seems to me that if you don't kill all the apps the bluetooth gets overloaded and has a hard time pushing information through. I got to this conclusion after scanning for another bluetooth device. While is was scanning the music was skipping non-stop. I concluded that when it skips, it's overloaded -- so I kill every app so only my music is being transmitted (and phone on standby).

Thanks for the reply.
I tried your method, unfortunately it did not work for me. I guess I'll have to wait for 5.1 to be pushed to my phone and hope for the best.

Works fine,in my Mercedes, i can play music, videos without any problems, speed camera messages even come through clear and interrupt whatever is playing. Using ChupaCups 4.2 ROM
Hi, as my title says, sometimes the music doesn't stop playing when I disconnect my auxiliary cable from the audio port. When this happens the music continues playing from speakers even the telephone detected that the cable is not connected. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen always it's a random issue. The problem occurs with Poweramp and Spotify.
With Bluetooth this doesn't happen. I think it's a software bug as the phone detects without problems when the cable is connected or not.
Anyone noticed this?
Yup it happens to me in my car infrequently. I've noticed it with Google play music and I think YouTube.
I don't know about this HTC 10 anymore, there are just some very minor annoyances that I've never had to deal with on previous phones.
I opened a return request, and I think I'm going to just follow through on it.

Today it happened with Bluetooth. I was listening music and to stop the music I simply turned off Bluetooth. When that happened the music continued playing using the smartphone's speakers.
I think that the service that is responsible to stop music when headphones or Bluetooth are disconnected is buggy.
Anyone with a similar behavior? I'm trying MacroDroid to see if this resolves the issue.
Happens to me too. Not always but often.
I'm rooted but Stock Rom.
Maybe a Tasker task can help.
I will try out later.
No luck with tasker as the process is running somehow in the background.
Hey Guys,
everytime i connect my fire phone (slim kat) to a bluetooth speaker, i dont get any sound out of it.
What i tried so far:
-used multiple bluetooth devices (car; mobile speaker; tv sound bar) with no success. Everyone showed the same problem.
- removed all devices from the pairing list
- visible to all devices
- wiped cache
- tried spotify and poweramp
-moved from cm11 to slim kat: the problem was solved for like 15 min. The sound then suddenly stopped without me touching the display (no sound then, but the music player continued to play)
Any ideas? I uploaded a video showing the problem. all i get from the speaker is a silent buzz, which i tried to capture in the video at 01:20.
Also notice the weird volume button at 00:57...it switches from the normal audio speaker to the bluethooth speaker every time i change the volume.

I hope someone can help me.
I had a similar problem on stock, turned out to be my wearables apps. Microsoft Health and Pebble time, kept disconnecting me from everything else. May be completely unrelated, but worth a try. I uninstalled those apps and it started working fine.
Thanks for reply, but i dont have any wearable apps installed on the phone
Cmon guys, please help me. I know a lot of you guys are really into this topic...
