'Play phone audio' option not working/choosable - Connected Car

Since a couple of weeks my phone does not play audio through any carkit I tried. The Bluetooth settings had the play media audio checked on, but not the play telephone audio option. When I want to choose that option I simply can't. It is immediately unchecked again.
Tried reset cache, new pairing, unknown carkit, change phonename, factory reset, several Bluetooth managers but I am out of options. Does somebody else have?

i've got this too. i recently updated a whole bunch of google stuff and i can't check the 'phone audio checkbox' in android 6.0 in multiple bluetooth devices--car, speaker, and hands-free kit. i'm pretty sure it was caused by a google update of some kind. i miss my windows phone so much right now.

ok, i just uninstalled android pay and the bluetooth phone audio works. i need to test it more to see if that was the issue.

Bluetooth - how it handles calls / media

Hi all
I have the following setup:
Desire
Aux Input (for music)
SuperTooth One BlueTooth Hands Free
When I drive, I use the HTC Desire to play the sat nav instructions and music out of the Aux to the stereo however, if I enable Bluetooth, all music and commands are sent through the Bluetooth receiver instead.
On the iPhone, you have the option to route audio through headphones socket or through the BT device - but cannot find out how to do it on the Desire.
Are there any applications that make it possible to route calls out via BT and everything else out over the Aux?
I would really like this functionality too.
One option for you, is to long press the Supertooth in your Desire's bluetooth device list, and edit the options so that it's not a media bluetooth device but only a phone bluetooth device.
Thanks - didnt know about that option!
Does this option actually work for anyone?
I'm connecting to the bluetooth in my Mazda and every time I uncheck Media, it just re-checks it every time I reconnect.

I don't have a Mazda, but have the Verizon M8 and have no issues pairing my phone for both calls and audio, regardless of whatever ROM I've tried. Your car is three years old, so I suspect the problem is there. I would take it into Mazda and see if there is a software update for their entertainment/bluetooth. Also, if you've paired up your phone to anything else previously (headphones, speaker, etc.) you might want to delete those pairings before trying to set it up again. If none of those things work, then you might be out of luck unless you want to upgrade your car stereo. There are many instances where certain devices/cars just don't work well together, but the M8 has the latest bluetooth release available. Good luck.
Thanks for the support and for helping find the Solution!

Think you for your fast response, so I called up my dealership and they said they don't have any updates for my stereo.
But I did find a solution YAY!
1. keep one of the failed pairs in your phone
2. download "Bluetooth Connect and Play"
3. Here are the settings you want:
Bluetooth Receiver is [ON]
when this bluetooth device connects...
[*] Mazda
4. Click the 3 dots in the corner and click "Tweaks"
5. Heres what you want:
When trigger player
(*) Start player on basic bluetooth connect only
Seconds to wait 0
everything else unchecked
6. Make sure all other connections are deleted from your car and then set the car to pair while the code 0000 is on the screen go to your bluetooth settings and delete "Mazda" then click "Mazda" when it comes up enter 0000 and then bluetooth connect and play will come up and music will start playing
7. music will stop and it will ask you to name the device.. cool
8. enjoy wireless music

Lollipop Update Bluetooth issues

I updated to Lollipop and now my Bluetooth will not stay connected in my car. I'll drop bluetooth after about 15 minutes on the deck, but my phone will say it's still connected. I have toggled bluetooth and it will reconnect, but no audio. I have to restart my phone to get audio back for another 15 minutes. I've repaired the phone to the car, done a factory reset, cleared the cache. I'm at a lose, does anyone have any words of advice?

I have the same problem after updating to lollipop. With kitkat I had never an issue. Have been searching for solutions during last couple of months. We only can wait until the next update I think. Or revert back to Kitkat. You should make your car audio as trusted bluetooth device. But that didn t help for me either, still had the same connection issues.
Before the update to Lollipop my device connected to my vehicle using Bluetooth (music, hand free calling/reads messages etc). And now after the update it STILL works the same.
Same here!
I have a Parrot MKi9100 and Note 4. Prior to the update it worked perfect, routing all audio from my phone through my truck. I updated to lollipop and only the calls would route (after clicking between speaker and bluetooth a few times). So then I updated the MKi to the latest version and now when it connects it thinks audio is constantly routing when nothing is! I had to delete the pairing so I can use my radio!
I sent a request to Parrot, but thought this would be an even better arena to escalate issues!
If you have power saving enabled. Switch it off and see if that helps. Just an idea.

I was having a problem with Bluetooth also. What I done was went to settings/Application Manager/All/go to Bluetooth and Bluetooth test/clear data then repair phone

I'm going to try this tomorrow.
I listen to music via bluetooth in both my truck and through my headphones.
On Kitkat, everything worked perfectly, but on Lollipop, the music "pops" or "skips" every so often. Completely random, but 3-6 times per song. It's really annoying.
Fix what resolved the issue for me (ATT Note 4 Lollipop)
1. Unpair both devices (remove the car from the phone; vice versa)
2. Make sure you turned off your bluetooth
3. Go to: Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager -> All
4. Clear Cache first then Clear Data: "Bluetooth", "Bluetooth Test"
5. Enable bluetooth & pair again with your car
6. IMMEDIATELY disconnect (you can do it from either way; car or bluetooth).. but keep the bluetooth turned ON
7. Download latest "Bluetooth File Transfer" application from Google Play
8. Open it and switch to the second tab ("bluetooth icon")
9. Select your car and do the following three things one by one (until they complete!!!): File Transfer Profile (FTP), Object Push Profile (OPP), Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP)
PLEASE NOTE: each of these steps may take 5-10 minutes and will FAIL for sure (a "STOP" sign will pop up in the application after it completed the action partially. Be patience and wait until that. If you did all three steps you can close the "Bluetooth File Transfer" app and move on Step 10.)
10. Go to Settings -> Security -> Trust agents -> Smart Lock (Google): ON
11. (you may need to leave and re-enter to Settings to see it) Smart Lock -> Trusted devices -> Bluetooth -> your car
Your phone should work again fine w/ the car. I've tried with my AT&T Note 4 after having the same issues.. 2 days perfect (even after few restarts). Also my friend followed these step on Verizon Note 4, also resolved the problem.

Worked great for me with the NOKIA CK-1W. Thank You!
I couldn't connect it with any device with lolipop system.
So it's a lolipop bug...
I tried this on my Samsung Note 4 and it appears I now have working Bluetooth Stack with my Lexus hands free. IMO when one deletes a Bluetooth profile any remnants in the Profile should be deleted. It seems silly one needs to go through these steps to repair the profile's Bluetooth stack. Hopefully Marshmellow will fix what is critically lacking in Lollipop.
Great post! Thanks for sharing this!
This issue with the BluetoothPbapService has been driving me nuts for the past months. An initial solution for me to force stop the BluetoothPbapService in the Bluetooth Share process under Settings -> Apps -> Running, but the service gets restarted each time you click on the Bluetooth option.
@jake_net's suggestion has inspired a workaround fix for me.
If you have a rooted Android, download this app from WangQi called Disable Service (from the PlayStore). Click on the System tab, select Bluetooth Share. Uncheck the BluetoothPbapService.
My Bluetooth connection with my car's handsfree has been flawless ever since.

I take it that you aren't from this forum, because we can't root our phones on Lollipop... and some of us are a little sore about it.

Sadly even after the 5.1.1 updated I'm still experiencing bluetooth issue's when my screen is off. When my screen is off, I experience skipping quite often, yet with my screen on bluetooth works fine.
I believe I've exhausted all means of troubleshooting this =/

Bluetooth Connection Dropping in Galaxy Note 4
I have the same problem after automatic updating my Note 4 from the original Android 5.0.2 to Android 5.1.1. This problem happens to my Headphone Sony MDR-10RBT that was working properly before, now after 1 to 3 minutes of playing music the BT connection just drops. My Bluetooth is working properly with the BT Keyboard with my car system BT for calls and audio, transfer files over BT, so the problem is selective......that is to say a huge BUG in the software. This Headphone is still working fine with my other Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0.1. I have tried every thing possible.... Soft Reset, Hard Reset, Cleaning Cache Partition, cleaning cache e data do BT app e BT test app.......... nothing solve the problem with the Sony Headphone. I have contacted Samsung and they told me to take my phone for the technical assistance?????? What for?! BT is functional. HUGE........ HUGE BUG. One other thing that stopped working in my Note 4 is the NFC???????? Shame on Samsung.... For me that is the end of it no more Samsung I have left Nokia for similar reasons, now head on to IPhone...

I dont know what to do when I get to the "Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP)" step. Can someone help?
When I select FTP or OPP, there is a distinct progress bar that tries to send data and fails.
When I select PBAP, I am presented with a bunch of files and folder but no option to transfer. I can long-press any file but really no way to upload them.
So what should I be doing here?
Thanks in advance.

Semi-stock 5.1.1 and bluetooth media sound problem

Dear all,
I'm running DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM that is based on Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop.
I have a problem with bluetooth and my handfree carkit (Parrot Mki9000).
It used to work fine with KitKat.
Now, when my z1c auto-connect to this, the "Media sound" is disabled. I have to manually check its checkbox and the media sound connect & works (like music streaming or navigation voice).
The strange thing is that this happens only with my bluetooth carkit. When I use any other bluetooth device, "Media sound" is active at connection.
As I wrote above, it used to work a few days ago when I was running KitKat. I already tried to remove the device from the bluetooth menu and reconnect.
I would like to avoid any other 3rd party app from the google play (except Tasker, that unfortunately could not help here).
Is this some sort of know problem? Is there a permanent fix?
Thanks for any hints.
MJ

Bluetooth "media audio" issue

Hello
I've had a problem with my 5T for several months now and can't find a solution.
I have Oxygen 9.0.9, when I connect my 5T to the car radio, the "media audio" stream is always enabled.
Even when deselected (before connecting), it remains active.
The only way to exclude the stream is to activate and deactivate manually the "audio media" option whenever the connection between the car radio and my 5T occurs.
I have already done factory reset and cache wipe ... but even after the factory reset this issue remains.
What can I do?
Thanks
