Hey guys,
I have recently started to experience some weird bluetooth problems. I have a Softbank HTC Desire (I live in Japan) and a LBT-AR200C2 bluetooth receiver. I had absolutely no problems whatsoever the first two weeks.
Yesterday, the bluetooth receiver would connect but no audio would play through the headphones. When playing a track from the player it would just skip over in 2-3 second increments and no audio was present (not even from the phone speakers). Not even reboot helped.
So, I decided to unpair and pair again to try and eliminate the problem. Everything is working now ... except for one big problem - the bluetooth disconnects every 3-4 mins. So, I start listening to a track, the screen goes to sleep and 2 mins later the music stops and Bluetooth disconnects. I unlock the phone and the Bluetooth reconnects immediately.
Besides the HTC Music Player i Have 3 and Museek installed. Could that be a problem?
Update: Listening to music without the Bluetooth receiver is ok - the music does not stop.
I seem to be getting exactly the same problem with my car kit.
I can pair it up, both car kit and Desire recognise that they are paired yet after approx 2 / 3 minutes it disconnects yet as the above poster indicates - it worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks.
I have deleted all the pairings, reset both the car kit and the desire back to Factory defaults but the problem happens straight away.
Googling desire and bluetooth seems to throw up a number of potential issues so was wondering if anybody out there had similar problems and whether anybody actually has a work around
cheers

Same issue with my Motorola HT820 headphones. Drop calls back to the handset and get silent periods when listening to music.
I was able to pair the Note 2 with no problem. The MP3s played ok through bluetooth. I could not hear Pandora and the hands free calling owuld not work. I then turned the car off and then back on and it started working. I then went inside for a while..came back out and it now doesnt work. It shows that the head unit is connected, but nothing but MP3 will work. I have an Alpine 133BT. My old Iphone 4 worked flawlessly. Anybodt having issues or know what it could be?
Car bluetooth is often very flaky. If its an oem radio sometimes the dealer can update the firmware on newer vehicles to fix bugs. Many, many people have problems connecting to their different cars because each implementation is different. Try these and see if it helps with the disconnects.

Same issue
I'm having the same issue. It pairs just fine and plays over my stereo so long as I control everything using the phone. I can't start/stop bluetooth using the stereo or my headphones, though.
With my iPhone I could go from headphones to my car without ever taking the phone out of my pocket or losing my place in my audiobook. I tested with a Nexus 7 and it works also...neither the Nexus 7 or Note 2 display track information, though.
If anyone has another Bluetooth device connected while using the moto 360, it causes the other Bluetooth device device to act very odd. My example was tested on 3 phones and 2 different cars and that while my phone is connected to the moto 360 and cars Bluetooth, the sound is all choppy and horrible from my phone. (not Bluetooth audio from my car) You can't even get directions from Google maps or Here because the moto 360 causes the volume from the phone to become all choppy. Even when the phone rings the volumes are choppy from the phone. Once I unpair my moto 360 everything is back to normal. Looks like others are having odd behavior as well when connecting Bluetooth speakers and using the moto 360 at the same time but I have not tested Bluetooth speakers.
Please help Motorola cause this watch is awesome
Maybe you shall email their support group to give the issue report. I plan to get moto hint.in furture but this issue may stop me.
That's a Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy problem. I had the same issue ever since I started using a fitbit with my LG G2, which syncs via BT LE. The 360 compounded it. I recall someone suspected it had to do with the ble implementation in the android bt stack, but I don't recall the specifics
Using the 360, fitbit and uconnect car bluetooth all day yesterday with no issues.
Google play music streaming.
CBS streaming radio
On device music.
No issues.
Try doing that again but using Google now or Google maps and report back
Using LG G flex, Motorola DECK BT speaker and moto360 and wasn't having any audio issues either. Played music for hours at work.

Every morning I drive to work with my Nexus 5 connected to three devices and stream music without issue.
Audi BT for Phone
Griffin BlueTrip for BT Audio
Moto 360
On the way home, I stream MLB games (well, up until last week). I check traffic via Google Maps to see the fastest route and I never lose Audio.
In following these threads, there have been a few other things to keep an eye on:
The #1 culprit seems to be custom ROMS and Kernels.
Others have mentioned leaving wifi on. Android tries to connect to open wifi networks, even while driving, and that can cut out signal.
Not one issue with Bluetooth on my end,and I'm paired to my LG tone all day everyday.
S4, cm11, play audio through speakers w/o issue. Most likely an issue with phone/ROM/kernel/car system rather than the 360. I've had three different 360s so far (various RMAs) all work/worked fine with car Bluetooth audio.
No issues here with BT connectivity. I have M360 connected to my phone, and my phone connected to my car BT audio.
Stream music via Amazon Prime Music app, audio came out great
Navigate using Google maps and the direction was spoken via car audio clearly while M360 does prompt and vibrate for direction as well.
I have no issues. Nexus 5 connected to my Moto360 and factory head unit (2011 Camaro). I stream Pandora, Google Play, and have spoken notifications.
I had my 360 for 3 weeks every day I connect my HTC m8 to my car radio via blue tooth. At work I connect to Bluetooth headphones and listen to music for about 4 hours a day. I have not had a single issue like the one you describe.

I have the issue, but not playing music. Mine is with phone calls. This is with the watch paired to a stock LG G3. The phone calls start out okay but a minute or two in it gets all garbled on both ends.
No problems here with my Sprint note 3. Actually navigated a few days ago with maps and it was fine
Can't Bluetooth-tether my tablet to my phone while the watch is connected. Also, if I walk out of Bluetooth range of my phone, the watch either doesn't reconnect when I come back in range, or takes a very long time to do so.
Same issue..
I do have the same type of issue with intermittent audio over bluetooth while in my car. It's find if my moto 360 is turned off, but when it turns on it causes issues. I had the problem on the old Moto X and the newest Moto X. I found other threads reporting the same issue.

I connect to my cars bt to and from work every day and have not experienced any issues. I'm using a stock 2013 Moto X 4.4.4 no root/mods.
Is anyone else having issues with their 5x connecting to their car's bluetooth automatically (I drive a 2015 Subaru Forester)?
My Nexus 5 would always just automatically connect, but since I switched to the 5x I have to either connect to the car from the phone or vice versa.
I'm sure I could work something out with tasker or whatnot, but that feels to me as though it should not be necessary?
I have yet to get back in my car after pairing to my bluetooth adapter (I just paired this morning) but I will check later.
Do you have a list of saved or prioritized devices in the car? I wonder if the Forester bluetooth is trying to connect to your first device (Nexus 5) unsuccessfully.
I have a 2014 Ford Focus. The bluetooth will connect automatically, but I have noticed weirdness when placing calls. The car will take a while to initiate the call and then display an error saying "call cannot be completed". Then, 2 seconds later the call audio (ringing) will occur.
I am hoping that these are just some initial bluetooth issues that will be ironed out.
I had deleted my old device from the car's memory.
Another thing I am experiencing is that even if my phone IS connected, the calls are going through the device, and not my speakers.
It still pauses the music...
It could be either my car or the device. I've heard of other Subaru owners having issues with multiple devices in their car, just wasn't sure if it was a little of Column A and B. It seems likely enough it's a little bit of both.
No issues at all. I have a 2012 Dodge charger with the 8.4 Uconnect. This phone actually connects quicker than my S6 edge did and the sound is louder at max volume (on the phone) than the S6E. The only thing that doesn't work is the text messaging from the Uconnect, but overall I am very pleased.

My in-laws own a 2015 Forester so perhaps next time I see them I'll try to pair my 5X. May be a while before that happens though so don't hold your breath
2013 Honda Civic here (so cool, I know). I'm getting mixed results on it automatically connecting. Sometimes yes, but other times I need to connect manually. Yesterday, Bluetooth audio got really choppy in the car, and I had to restart in order to stabilize that again. Have not seen the choppiness issue with my other Bluetooth devices.

I had no problem with my Mazda 5 connecting to my Moto E on 4.4.4, but since the upgrade to 5.1 I now have to turn bluetooth off then back on every time I get in the car for it to connect. Also, the connection can drop. I tried deleting existing connection data from both car and phone, setting up from scratch, but it hasn't made any difference. Wish I could downgrade by phone's OS back to 4.4.4.
Might depend on the sound system. Reconnects to my 2013 VW Passat every time.

No issues in my Audi or aftermarket radio in the Subie... It sounds like you may not have calls being routed through the phone (based on your comment), maybe that is causing the connection issue? Something like only a phone connection is automatically connected (and the audio comes with it), but an audio connection is not?
I have a 2011 Mitsubishi Ralliart and i don't have any issues with my 5X auto connecting to the factory bluetooth system, my problem is the factory bluetooth is garbage since any time someone calls there is too much interference i can't hear what the other person is saying.

Exact same issue here but with a Kia. As soon as the phone "reacts" to a call being started on the headunit, the headunit says "call was hung up". As soon as the call is answered, it offers to be used for handsfree. It's as if the phone's "CallStatus" messages over bluetooth aren't correct
Subject crosstrek 2014, BlackBerry z10 never had an issue whatsoever, but since I got my 5x, I get half a connection (Bluetooth connects with no audio), with 6.0.1, no automatic connect... Blackberry's reputation may be downhill, but I sincerely miss its reliability and the hub...
Nexus 5X and 6P Uconnect 8.4 Grand Cherokee 2014
I recently started experiencing a similar issue.
I use my 6p for music and audio only, and my 5x for phone calls and sms.
About a week ago, they would stay connected as long as nothing was being streamed. However, as soon as I received a call on the 5X, the phone would lose BT connection to the system, and then connect back after about 30 seconds. It would do that throughout all of the calls, regardless of the length of each call. After the first 2 calls, I started streaming music from Google Play Music on my 6p, and the same thing would happen.
I removed Uconnect from both phones, and both phones from Uconnect. Paired them back again, and it is still doing the same thing.
I will try resetting the Uconnect to factory default later today and see if it has any positive effect, and will post my findings here.
If anyone else has a uconnect system with the same issue, please post it here, and we can try looking for a solution together.
Thank you,
Hi all,
Has anyone experienced any weird Bluetooth issues after installing the latest May OTA update (OPM1.171019.011-RZR-180509.5038)? I've realized that the BT controls on my 2015 Nissan Sentra no longer work properly. It doesn't automatically connect to BT anymore and no track information shows on the head-unit. The weird thing is that I CAN get music to play, at least.
I just wanted to know if I happened to be losing my mind after numerous reboots and re-pairing between the car and the phone.
Same for me. I can delete it. Pair it again and it works. Next time I get in the car it won't reconnect.. worked fine before the update at the weekend.

It's a fire an miss actually. Sometimes it reconnects automatically with the car's unit (alpine aftermarket) and sometimes it doesn't. I had noticed that if I get in the car for the 1st time today (for ex), it won't reconnect back and i have to cycle around the input in order to "kickstart" the reconnecting process. If I make a stop along the way, stop the car, get out (thus interrupting the connection) and getting back after a while, it will reconnect automatically without any issues. I'm not even taking it out of my pocket. But this scenario is happening since day one, not necessarily from the last update.
On the other hand, I got a smartband (coincidentally after the last update) and now, while the smartband is connected via BT, when I turn on my BT wireless headphone adapter, it won't re-connect anymore (simultaneously with the smartband) and if it does, it's without media playback. As a workaround, I have to 1st turn off the smartband, clear the BT of any active connection (And also any other device with media playback capabilities), turn on the BT adapter so it will connect full, then turn the smartband back on. And not always works like this.
So, I do have on an off issues with the BT stability and connections with various devices, not just car unit.
Strangely though my smart watch connects no problem and the stereo in my motorhome was connecting at the weekend. It's just the car ( a Vauxhall Astra) that refuses to connect unless I delete and re pair....

I can't get music to play with Spotify or YouTube. The phone connects fine, shows song info but just won't play no matter what I try.
The weird thing is that calls work perfectly. Sound through car speakers and mic works. Just doesn't want to play music.
I've tried unpairing, re-pairing, deleting, even factory reset on both phone and stereo. Worked fine before the 8.1 Oreo update. (I'm on 3 UK handset).
Im having issues as well, it will connect the first time when I manually connect the phone and stereo to MyLink. It will say connected but (No Media) so i try to pair the media and it disconnects my phone from BT and then i have to delete device and re connect device manually. As well if i leave the vehicle or turn it off then it will disconnect. Not just my vehicle but the other showroom vehicles do that as well. Can someone let me know if there is a bluetooth upgrade or a firmware upgrade that can fix this problem? is there anything that we can do for this let me know. Thanks!!
I am having the same issue in my bmw.
I can delete the phone and re-pair... But it sucks having to do that every thing.
also having issues as well. It connects to my headphones and the after market HU in my truck but it will not connect at all to the factory HU in Genesis Coupe. I have tried to delete and re pair and still nothing.
So currently it all works for me with the latest update. It definitely takes a little bit longer than normal though. Not sure how long some of you waited, but compared to my old phones it feels like an eternity during the time it doesn't connect. I also use a smartwatch and it is always connected to that. If you guys need or want any files, let me know. I'm currently waiting for a usb-c to usb-a cable in the mail, so once that is here I can try to help.
I think this is all more of an Android issue. I was having most of the exact same issues mentioned here on my LG V20 on Oreo.
I just for a Razer Phone 1 off eBay this week. I did the Pie update and within a day, the bluetooth issues have returned. Sometimes phone won't connect to car stereo - sometimes reboot stereo, sometimes toggle phone bluetooth off/on, or sometimes just wait 10-30 seconds. Doing the same showing info on car stereo display, but no audio transmitted. I also had similar issues using a OnePlus 3 with both Dirty Unicorns and Resurrection Remix Pie ROMs. I was beginning to think it was my car stereo until I read the comments on this thread. Seeing so many others having the exact same issues on factory and aftermarket stereos (mine is an aftermarket), and knowing it's happening on different devices and both Oreo and Pie , I'm thinking it's an Android 8 and 9 issue.
