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

I had the same issue, but a simple unpair and forget from both devices then repair fixed my problem

Ill have to give this a shot!
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

Have you tried unticking "media" in the profile hitting ok, going back in and ticking media again?

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.
Bluetooth was working fine until today. Out of nowhere, the phone wouldn't connect to my car that it was connected to prior.
Tried toggling BT off and on, didn't work. Tried rebooting the phone, still won't connect. Tried deleting the phone from the car and re-syncing it, didn't work. Other phones still connect, so it isn't an issue with the car.
Anyone have any ideas for me?

I've read of BT issues and Oreo in general. My phone connected to my car, but I cannot use it for hands-free phone, music/media only.
Jaybird Freedom F5 headphones, fwd/back, vol up/down worked fine, but start/stop for reasons unknown did not work without kicking on/off Assistant first. That was yesterday. Today all fine. no idea why.
Problematic in
Cloud Player
Spotify
Smart Audiobook Player
I have Button Mapper to enable squeeze to launch flashlight, and even after setting up headphone button to start/stop yesterday, after several reboots it still didn't work properly. Today, however, all behaving NORMAL.
I haven't been able to have my phone connect to my car since I've gotten this. Looks like it connects then when my car asks for me to name it, it says pairing failed. Going to check and see if I can connect it to my sound bar tomorrow morning. Hopefully they push an update that fixes it
I have two pixel 2 XLs one would connect to my Bose SoundLink mini for a few seconds and disconnect repeatedly. The other one, is perfect and have no issues.
I have the same bluetooth issue. My 2XL paired with my car without any problems but won't stay connected. If I connect and make a call it stays connected for the call but disconnects when I hang up the call. My S5 always connected automatically when I turned on the car.

I also am having exact same issue on my P2XL. Paired and connected fine first time, played a ton of Spotify, haven't been able to get it to reconnect ever since. Need to check another phone in car as well as check P2XL with another BT device. Will report back but I may just exchange it as I am within in 14 days. It very well could be software related but don't want to risk them giving me a refurb once I am outside 14 days. Rather get the brand new one and if issue persists, hope that it is resolved in software update.
Report back soon.
EDIT: My phone pairs with everything BT very very quickly; however, it will never connect. I still have several days left on my exchange for brand new device period (they extended it from 15 to 21 days per the Google rep I just spoke with). I am inclined to just exchange and get a brand new one versus waiting until outside of that period and exchanging for a potential refurb; however, I noticed that Google now provides what we are getting in our updates before they come and the November update is full of Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL bluetooth fixes so I think I might hold out to see if that fixes our issues, most of them seem specific to our issues of connectivity.

Hi all,
Just downloaded the November release and can confirm that Fast Pair works now and BT is fully functional. I forgot the device on my car and on my phone upon reboot after installing the update. Turned my car on, turned BT on and it really paired and connected within seconds. Tested with 3 more speakers and even went back to car to test again. All good to go. There were a ton of patches listed for BT specific to P2 and P2XL, glad they fixed this so quickly.

Where do you get the November release? I just checked system updates and nada.
Regardless, I fixed my BT issue with Google support's help... press and hold home button. Press blue icon in upper right. Press three dots, then settings. Tap phone, then scroll down to other voice settings. Make sure Bluetooth headset is enabled. Also, reset your network settings. Delete the pairing on your car, then pair again. Mine worked like a charm.

I just went into System Updates and checked and it was available. It started rolling out today, I am sure you get it soon. I tried support's help, made sure BT headset was enabled, deserted network settings and deleted pairing on car and phone multiple times to no avail. With the new update I can swap between 2 different BT speakers almost instantly. The update includes many other fixes/improvements. Some to do with screen, most of that though coming in December patch I believe.
EDIT: added screenshot of About Phone screen to show November 5th patch. Hope you get yours soon!

Not sure if there is a November patch for the dev version just yet, I'm sure there will be but might not be on the 5th/6th like we are used to seeing. Could be wrong though. I do know they started rolling it out today so it might just take a bit to get to you, I didn't see it this afternoon around 2 pm but did around 5 pm. Hope this helps.

NP, glad you could understand me--I just realized the typos I had in my original post, so I edited it...
Is the Bluetooth power level changing for anyone since the November patch? I've been running Jaybird X2 since early this morning and there is no way I'm still at 100% four hours later. I paired them after the patch. Turned them off and on, Bluetooth off and on. I'll try rebooting next, but it's strange all the same.
edited: still 100% (4hrs use)
edited2: now 60% (6hrs use)
These typically have 8-10 hours use per charge.
edited3: now 10% (9hrs?)
I didn't see when it changed or what the increments were.
"Battery Low" warning at 20 minutes power left.
Anyhow, just my experience.

I noticed this too, not a huge issue for me as most, if not all, of my BT devices have battery indicators on them. I don't typically go into BT settings to check battery of BT devices but that's just mw

pixel 3 xl is not playing well with my BMW 323i 2010 bluetooth call system.
When i get a call the ringtone comes through the car speakers. Then when i accept the call there is no more audio through the car audio system.
i tried unpair and reparing and same issue.
my original pixel xl works fine.
any idea? any1 having similar issue?
I have a 2013 328i, and this is the first phone I've had since the Nexus 6 that actually works well with it for music. I always had problems with the Bluetooth freezing.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
sometimes telling the assistant to play music will get it to play nice if it is still paired just not sending audio. but for phone calls, thats weird
Did some troubleshooting today.
So after connecting the call if I manually select phone on the pixel3 and then switch to car audio Bluetooth then it starts working.
But it doesnt start automatically when the call connects.
I will log it with Google and hope for a fix.
Thanks guys.
Try resetting the cache for the Bluetooth app in the app manager in settings (You have to tun on system apps to see it)
2013 BMW 328i, never had an issue with any other phone, seems at random call audio will stop working over Bluetooth in the car and the only remedy is to reboot the phone. Have tried everything with no solution.

yep, my issue still not fixed and making me crazy.
1 thing i am gonna try today is that disconnecting p3xl from my samsung gear s3 and see how it works while only connected to bmw's audio. if that does not work then i will send this phone back.
it is insane how many software issue this phone has.
Argh, same thing with my 2011 128i. NEVER had a single problem with my Pixel 1 XL, got the 3 XL a few days ago. Today I need to make a call in the car, pair the phone and... no audio. In fact I think it was still playing music, even though it showed "Connected". I have the "Professional" audio system; ie: the simple one. Not with the big display etc, iDrive I think it is.
Could you let me know the bug ID you logged and I'll star it and participate in it with logs etc as they request them? I don't make a lot of calls in the car but I often drive into work listening to conference calls so this is seriously annoying.
My two bluetooth headsets work fine, so it doesn't appear to be a overall issue with bluetooth headset audio etc. I might try it in my wifes car just to see if it works there, for more datapoints too.
Very, very odd... I read a suggestion to boot into safe mode and connect the phone to the car and that worked, everything is fine now. What's stranger, to me anyway, is that it continues to work fine! But as odd as it sounds, this is something to try.
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.

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

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 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.
Anyone else having issues with connecting the 7T to their car and getting audio going out of it? My OG Pixel didn't have a problem, but I have to toggle off/toggle on Bluetooth and then manually tap the car's bluetooth listing to get it to actually 'connect' the audio portion.
Rather annoying, considering I'm only in the car for a few minutes at a time, this either eats into the time entirely, or makes me sit in my car for a couple minutes before even driving to fiddle with the bluetooth settings.
Car has stock headunit, 2015 Evo X. Like I said, original Pixel XL had no issues, but this is annoying. I've tried changing bluetooth versions to no avail. I can see it connecting and dropping the bluetooth connection fairly frequently while staring at it and trying to 'get it going'. But once it connects, it stays there.
My bluetooth headphones (Some knock off cheap Chinese ones for $20) don't seem to have an issue.
My connection to my aftermarket stereo is fine. Just seems a little quieter than my last phone. Connecting is kind of slow too when I start my car but it is automatic.
I don't have any issues with connecting to all 3 cars (2014 Honda Accord, 2009 Pontiac G8 Gt and a 2018 Honda Fit) but I do agree that the volume seems a little lower than my previous phone (Galaxy S8).

Hmm. Weird. Is there anyway I can check for logs to find out what exactly is happening? I haven't rooted, just don't know if it's something I can naturally pull from Android as a whole.
I had the same issue, but when I made the phone discoverable and initiated bt from the car stereo it seemed to work.
I also set a custom pin , not the default 0000
My bluetooth is quiet, but its also static-y. I never had any issues with my G6 and now I get static clipping every 10 or so seconds. Its unbearable.

I'm not really having an issue pairing it, but it's just connecting after pairing is the problem.
I have changed the default pin. I can see it popping up and down the car stereo a few times in the bluetooth settings before it just gives up.
As for the other issues, I'm not having a problem at all with audio volume, nor popping/static when it finally does connect.
My volume is super low when connected to Android Auto and streaming music. Have to turn the radio up to max. However, I'm assuming that's an AA issue or Android issue, as it seems many others are having the same problem with different phones. Been thinking of adding an aftermarket amp to the car. Maybe I should pull the trigger. Lol

Be careful that a bugfix doesn't come and blow your eardrums out, lol.

My OnePlus 7t connects fine and phone works for calls on 2014 cts. The sound comes out of phone can change song on head unit but I can't get audio to play through car. Anyone else get this?
Yeah music stutters with car player... Only calls work. Music works on headphones etc. I couldn't find solution, did network reset, cleared cache. Nothing works.
Seriously!
I've wasted at least two hours already trying all the recommended steps: from flicking icons on and off to a full phone reset.
Still no connection to my Suzuki S-cross car. Multiple previous phones have connected effortlessly.
Even the $50 temporary five year old borrowed phone could handle it.
Anyone got any other suggestions? Yes, tried the AVRCP setting change from 1.4 to 1.6. That didn't work either...
Barebones system reset from scratch running O2 OS 10.0.6HD65AA
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I need to be able to talk and drive!
Reset the car radio and clear all pairing data if you can. Then try again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried that.
Tried one other car - no problems.
Tried a tablet and a very old phone with the car and suprise - the car's bluetooth seems to be the problem.
I will try and find out if I can fix the car!
UPDATE: Morale of the story - read the car manual very very carefully and go though each tedious step = SUCCESS

Yep most have lots of tedious steps that are different model to model and if not followed exactly will cause this problem on occasion..
In my case music starts to be scrambled after 10 minutes or so of listening. When I take the phone (so the watch pops up) or turn on the screen it immediately works fine again, but when being put aside and the screen turns off, the issue starts again ..
Also in the early days of my previous 5t I had the same issues but some fix was delivered together with oxygen os update. And now the same story again
I have a different issue with Bluetooth:
- OP7T connects to car Bluetooth fine
- I can make/answer calls
- Bluetooth media works fine
The problem is with Google Assistant & car audio:
- it was working as intended until the latest update - 10.0.15 - I was pressing the button on the steering wheel the google assistant was answering questions through the car bluetooth, no need to switch to bluetooth media.
- after the latest update, when I press the button on the steering wheel, Google assistant pops on the phone , starts to answer question, but cuts off after 5 seconds. the command still goes through and Assistant still runs, but does not come up on the car audio.
- it looks like the Assistant is not connecting to the car as a hands free, but as to a bluetooth handsets.
Anyone experiencing this?
