So I can connect a various number of bluetooth devices to my tablet. It connects just fine and says it is connected for both phone and media. However, when I play media....I get nothing. There is no sound at all. Nothing! Any suggestions on what to do? Here's what I've tried:
Unpairing and repairing the bluetooth device
Clearing bluetooth cache
Turn something on without bluetooth connected, then, while it's playing, connect bluetooth device. Sound stops playing even though the video continues.
Thanks.

Hello guys,
I just got a Sony bluetooth headset and I am trying to use it with my HTC TYTN II. At first I paired the phone and the headset and I was able to listen to music and talk through the headset, all perfect. When I was listening to music, the bluetooth icon on my phone represented a music note and a headset over it.
When I turn the headset off once and then on again, it connects automatically with the phone but in some other mode. The bluetooth icon now represents the bluetooth sign with a headset over it. Now when I listen to some music, it comes from the speaker of the phone, not from the bluetooth headset. Talking through it is not a problem.
If I pair the phone and the headset again, it works just fine (showing again the music note) but once I turn the headset off and on again, I lose the music mode.
Does anyone know how to fix that? Thanks in advance.
I fixed the issue by installing AutoA2DP (found in this forum).
I've had a similar problem on my Tilt. I originally posted the following on the ROM thread. Since then, I have found that the AutoA2DP has not fixed the problem. I still have this issue about 70% of the time, and sometimes I can't get the bluetooth to work at all, not even after a soft reset. Sometimes it seems as if the bluetooth has no power, the phone can't communicate with the headset except when within a few inches of one another. Then it magically seems to resolve itself. Anyway here's my original post from the ROM thread.
The other day I installed an app on my phone called Schaps Network Plugin, which allows you to map network drives to the phone the same way you can do with a desktop. It allows me to access the home network directly via my wifi. It was something I needed and it seemed to work great, for a day. The next day my bluetooth headset would not connect. Long story only slightly shorter, it seems the problem was with the headset connecting via A2DP and doing so automatically. This always worked just fine in the past. Suddenly it wouldn't work. I tried a ton of things including a "fresh" install of everything and formatting my memory card to start with nothing on it. I flashed the original rom and then flashed this rom. I did hard resets each time. Did this twice. Even tried the bluetooth in the oem rom to see if I still got the problem. I did, and it is still with me. I can manually get the headset to connect via A2DP using the bluetooth settings, though even then it may take reconnecting several times to get it to work. However, when I turn the headset off and then on again, the A2DP does not reconnect, just the hands free. But the sound is not routed through the phone's speaker either, at that point. In fact you often get no sound at all, nothing via the headset or the speaker. OTOH, if you activate Voice Command, the headset does work while Voice command is running. After it shuts off, you are back to no sound. It seems as if the hands free works fine, but the audio gets partly routed to A2DP but does not connect to the headset. If I reset the phone, the headset connects correctly and efverything works until I turn the headset off again. Also if I pair the headset again, everything works correctly until I turn the headset off. Though pairing is not as trouble free as it used to be either. Sometimes it will not pair up wihtout repeated attempts. I did find this program, AutoA2DP which has patched the problem. It detects when a paired bluetooth device connects, and forces a connection via A2DP as well. But I never had this issue in the past, and my wife's phone still has no problem. I am not sure the Schaps Network plugin had anything to do with it, other than the timing. Seems odd to me that the bluetooth stack would suddenly develop issues that persist even after two fresh flashes of the rom. Any ideas, suggesitons, etc.? This is really bugging me, and although the patch seems to be working, the phone is still not acting "right." In the past, and on my wife's phone, if a bluetooth headset is turned on, it automatically connects, and all sounds, including the system sounds, are routed through the headset. Now, sometimes they are, and sometimes they aren't.
Running stock Android 4.4.2
I have bluetooth headphones. After disconnecting the headphones, everything on the phone looks like there isn't an active bluetooth connection. If I play a song without headphones connected, it plays through the speaker. But when I make phone calls there is no audio and when I hit the volume rocker, the bluetooth logo appears as if its adjusting the volume for a bluetooth connection. It's random but always seems to happen at the worse times.
I've also noticed that occasionally the "connected as media device" notification stays after I've disconnected the USB cable.
What can I do to figure out what the is going on?
Did you start over clean after updating? If not, it sounds to me like some data from your previous build might be either corrupted somehow or partially incompatible.
Try wiping data for Bluetooth Share, MTP Application, Media Storage and USB Settings. Then reboot. (It may seem to be working a bit extra when rebuilding the Media Storage data. Might be best to leave it alone for 10 minutes after rebooting, and maybe reboot again in an hour.)
If none of that seems to help you might need to factory reset.
I have a problem where I pair my bluetooth headphones and I get no audio when I try to listen to music. In fact I get no audio for anything when they are connected. They worked fine until today and I haven't installed any apps so I don't know what has caused it. I have unpaired, reconnected, rebooted and have cleared the data from bluetooth share, all to no avail. Does anyone have any idea's? I am on 5.1 GPE.
I just bought a z2 about a week ago. Been a great phone so far. It updated to Oreo as soon as I turned it on.
There is one issue. Bluetooth. When I originally connected it to my Alpine cd-hd148bt, it would stream music, but the phone profiles would not load. So I updated the bt firmware on the headunit. Now if I restart the headunit, it will connect with all the appropriate icons for audio and phone. If I start an audio app, it says playing, the head says playing, but there is no sound. After a couple of minutes, the entire phone will disconnect from the deck. It won't come back until I pull the faceplate and reboot the headunit. Even turning off the car and powering off won't get the bt to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? I love listening to Pandora, and my city has a hand free law, so I would love to have the phone working also.
PLEASE HELP!! I will owe you a cookie.
Thanks
Edit: unlocked bootloader and magisk 15.2.
im also having issues with bluetooth, since headset will disconnect from time to time and while streaming music to a bluetooth speakers (bose, harman, jbl, chinese, etc) audio will cut from time to time, until bluetooth connection drops an will have to restart phone in order to connect again
I am also having Bluetooth issues, keeps disconnecting from my headphones, or connects and doesn't stream. Supposedly with Oreo Bluetooth had been updated to version 5.
I tried everything but there's no connection to my car system only s Media Player my Galaxy watch has been detected I did a reset changed and erased everything etc.
Normally my car detects every smartphone but the watch is still a problem maybe there is a workaround
Thank you for all your help
