I just bought a new car, 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid, that the cool kids refer to as HAH, anyways.....
Bluetooth output is sketchy at best.
Sometimes I get the side info like artist names and title songs.
Most of the time the sound has been playing from my phone speakers insteead of the car stereo.
Car indicates that the phone is connected but I cant get the output to function correctly.
Past ROMS and some apps have an output option but i cant seem to find any in youtube or play music.
Old 2012 Honda had no such issues.
thoughts or advice?
thanks
Maybe try to go back to stock and see what happens? What rom are you on?
Make sure you don't have any other Bluetooth devices outputting also like a smartwatch, it will interrupt your phone connection

If you go to System Settings | Bluetooth and then click the gear icon on your current Bluetooth connection, it'll give you options to select media and phone.
Did you verify both were selected? If media is not selected then music won't play on your car stereo.
So I have a 2016 Accord EX-L...The Bluetooth connection is sketchy for me as well. To get it to work I sometimes I have to toggle the Bluetooth on and off on my phone...Sometimes I have to change to a different source on the car head unit and then back to Bluetooth for it to output correctly...Sometimes it shows it is connected but only outputs sound through the phone. Additional, phone calls never worked through Bluetooth in the car. All of this was improved for me through the February security patch. I connect more often automatically like it should and my phone calls work now. However, time to time I have the same issues. I've done some research since I got the phone and it seems to be an issue on 2016 accords and now looks like 2017 have them too. I am holding out that the 7.1.2 update will resolve this problem but I have not found a solution yet.

Yes at the time of occurrence I verified that all the boxes were checked.
It was my first thought too, thanks

Sounds exactly like my experience.
Bluetooth issues are now getting a lot of press on the usual Android blogs and sites. Google acknowledges that they are working on it. So there is hope.

Yep! http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-random-bluetooth-disconnects-pixel-pixel-xl/
Last update screwed up bluetooth for sure. Literally bought a new SUV a couple days before I got the update. The phone worked like a dream with the 12 speaker Sony head unit before and now can be a nightmare at times.
Looks like google has a fix, but no ETA on release.
http://phandroid.com/2017/02/24/google-identifies-bluetooth-issue-pixel/
At least Google admits something is wrong and a fix is in the works. I'm glad I don't have any issues on Resurrection Remix ROM with my 2013 toyota rav4.
Has anyone had any luck on getting their pixel to consistently connect to their Honda Accord? If I restart my phone it will be fine for the day but continue with the issue after that. Sometimes if I toggle "media audio" on and off it will connect normally. Other than that I have the same old issue. Has anyone solved this through rooting?
I have to toggle media on every time I connect to my Kia pixel kind of sucks

Hey all,
So I got the OTA Oreo update a few days ago and my Bluetooth seems to be working better so far. It connects to my car consistently and fully (I can control it from the head unit and the song info displays).
Only once has it had an issue like it use to before the update where it shows it connects but plays music through the phone.
Hopefully the update solves some of the issues we have been having to deal with!
Anyone else having issues with the quality of their Bluetooth connection? Never had issues in my car before but now every call I make or receive using Bluetooth in my car has terrible quality, static, disconnecting, can't make out what the other person is saying etc... music connection has been fine so far only other issue now is certain playlists don't sync from my library to my phone on play music. Did not have any of these issues with my s7 very annoying. On latest Verizon firmware and software for my car 2013 s4.

I'm paired to a $10 Bluetooth receiver in my car, and the connection and clarity have been great. I'm on the latest firmware too.

Weird issue, it's just always static. Music plays fine though. I dont know just reset my phone and Bluetooth in the car, we'll see if that fixes it or not *shrugs* apparently a bunch of people are having the issue though

I've had a few issues with what seems to be the Bluetooth not connecting in the full AD2P mode, which puts the audio in a very low bitrate mode that makes the audio sound like it's coming through a walkie talkie. Turning the device off and on usually fixes it. This issue goes way back across android versions, basically all my phones have had this issue from time to time. Resetting it will usually put it into the proper mode.

I had not had any issues but have not connected to my car yet. I do use my Samsung Level U bluetooth headphones and they are great.
Just an update, ended up doing a full factory reset and repaired with the car and now connection is improved! Still get some static but nothing like before!

Good afternoon all,
I absolutely love my Pixel 2 XL especially after getting the update to choose saturated display mode! One issue that I really have been having is that my Pixel will not remain connected to my car Bluetooth audio. I have an Infiniti Q50 that supports both android and iPhone. My note 8 stays connected no problem. What happens is, the phone connects to car and will start playing music but after about 30 seconds, the phone fully disconnects.
Any suggestions?
Zach
Have you tried going into the bluetooth settings then deleting and re-pairing your car receiver? I had an issue with the volume over bluetooth and that solved it.
I had bad bluetooth audio issues after the November update; it resolved after I cleared the data from the system bluetooth app, so you might try that.
Hi all...need some help with Bluetooth issues on my pixel 2 XL. I updated to the official Android pie today and noticed that my jbl Bluetooth earphones are having issues with calls. I cannot hear anything thing from the other side and the person on the other side can only hear some weird distortion. However I tried playing music on it and it works fine. Issue is only with calls. Anyone else facing this? I tried unpairing and pairing it again, restarted the phone, tried safe mode too but no luck.
Also I had sound echo issues with wired earphones (connected through dongle) on Oreo so I bought the jbl Bluetooth earphones and the echo was gone...and now after updating to Android pie my Bluetooth earphones don't work
Please help!

I have no issues wtih LG HBS730 BT headphones on calls or music with Pie. I've had four calls total, incoming and outgoing. I listened to music for about five hours too, no glitches.
I've had issues with the anker brand ones.
I have the same issue
Having issues connectingy to my car Bluetooth which has always worked before updating. Also experiencing WiFi drops.
Edit: went to stock Pie unrooted, and not as many wifi disconnects but my phone doesn't even see my car's Bluetooth connection . Fitbit connects just fine though. Weird..
Android Bluetooth is flakey as hell. Everyone gets a turn with incompatibility. P fixed my car with the first Dev preview. On O it was crud. There is a massive ongoing thread about it.

I had the same issue on my pixel XL on dp4 and dp5. Bluetooth worked fine for music but only crackled a little bit for phone calls. Both headsets and car were affected. Troubleshot it with Google rep and they told me my phone was broken. I also had multiple sensors stop working so auto brightness was broken and auto rotate was also broken (And a few other features like tap to wake screen). I ended up buying a pixel 2 xl and sending the other to Google as a trade in yesterday. Now I'm wondering if it wasn't just the software. I actually reset the phone and everything worked for a day or so before it failed again. I then exited the beta and everything worked on 8.1 Oreo for about a day before it all broke again. At that point I concluded it must be the phone. Hopefully the software didn't burn something up. I'm going to be ticked if this phone starts giving me trouble.
Are there any troubleshooting steps I can follow to see if solves the issue? Because it only happens on calls but music seems to be fine.
You can try rebooting in safe mode (long press the power off icon when you press the power button). I will restart with only minimal apps to see if it's being caused by a non Google app.

I tried this on my device but even in safe mode i faced the same issue
Ever since upgrading to PIE, I can no longer connect my my pioneer appradio head unit.
Phone works, but media Spotify or Pandora does not
Having the same issue, also, my "disable absolute volume" in developer settings doesn't work. I guess this is what to expect for early adopters.
I have had no issues with connectivity to my bluetooth headphones or to my car's bluetooth
However I have noticed that twice when I had phone call before entering the car and I connect to the car's bluetooth and the call is transferred to the car's audio, I get disconnected for a couple of seconds (after initially connecting correctly) and then it automatically reconnects and call continues normally ..
Android pie broke bluetooth for calls

Stock Pixel XL: All bluetooth devices worked for all purposes on Oreo. After updating to Pie none of my bluetooth headsets will connect for phone calls. Bluetooth music broadcasting to speakers is unaffected. I'm going to call them about it tomorrow.

Are you having any other issues. My original pixel XL had the same issue show up on the beta but it also affected some of my other sensors as noted in previous post. I now have a pixel 2 xl with no issues whatsoever.

Well, they seem to think that the problem is an app from the play store that doesn't play nice with Pie. Frustratingly, the problem corrects itself sometimes (but not all the time) after a reboot. They had me reboot into safe mode and this time it worked. After 20 minutes our support call was over. 30 minutes later one of my three headsets (with the oldest bluetooth version) didn't work, but two of the three did.
The tech (Jen, who was super nice but sounded like she was overseas and had to repeat herself a few times for clarity) said they only have 2 support options for this issue: 1) boot into safe mode and blame one of the apps from the play store or 2) FACTORY RESET THE PHONE! Once I explained that the phone was my google authenticator she suggested that to further troubleshoot I should turn off two factor for my google account (Ummm, no thanks. And that is why you should always PRINT OUT the QR code and put it in a fire-proof box in case you need to recover it)
I'll post back if it breaks again, but right now at least I can live with it.
Only "issue" for me is my wife's ILX doesn't seem to update the music information anymore. With the betas it did for a fee songs then seemed to stop. Now it's nothing at all but will double check today since I only drive it on occasion. Other than that, playback on our cars, Bluetooth speakers and headphones has been just fine. Love that it remembers the volume set per each device. No super low or super loud volumes on the start of playback.

I also have Bluetooth issues with Pie when connecting to my car (2017 Audi A4 with MMI+) I never use Android Auto by the way:
- Music playback is flaky: I have to start Play Music before connecting to the car, otherwise it cannot stream anything. Sometimes even this doesn't work and I have to repair again. This sucks, you always have to spend some time to check if everything works!
- My Radar trap warning app blitzer.de only works when streaming Audio from the phone to the car, even though I set Audio to HFP. With Oreo, the app started a phone call, it looked exactly like an incoming call. Now it only adds the warning to the phone's Audio Stream, so when listening to radio or streaming from a HDD I get no warnings.
- Phone calls work flawlessly, though
Try removing or 'forgetting' paired device and add it back again. It worked with my AirPods.
With all my phones until now, if I had my Bluetooth headset connected (and the Bluetooth symbol indicating that), the sound always was sent to the Bluetooth device. On my previous phone, I could switch the output if wanted to, but it never changed by itself (unless another device was connected).
With my Pixel 3a XL, it seems after a while (without any sound) the output switches/defaults to the internal speaker/earpiece.
Anyone else has this issue? I tried googling it and I am getting results of people that want to actively switch the output device.
Does anyone know how to make the phone to not switch output devices by itself (unless a new device is connected)? or to always default to Bluetooth?
For me, this is the only annoying "feature" of this phone. Otherwise, I am loving it.
That's not really a thing. I've been using TWE buds for the better half of a week now and haven't experienced this issue once.
Could it perhaps be that your headphones/buds sleep after a while and get disconnected from the device? If that's the case I can see why the device would switch back to regular speaker output.

They are still connected and this is with at least two different devices.

I got this issue only with my deck in my truck. I have countless other devices that have zero issues playing music thru it except this phone. Thank jebus it's cheap and I won't feel bad if I throw the thing in the garbage
Same problem here,i have to turn off and on Bluetooth on the phone every time i connect head unit in my car, it's very annoying, it works fine with my earbuds,i often regret buying this phone
I have a 2014 Honda CR-V.
No Bluetooth issues here.
Stock Android 10.
I seem to have fixed my issue. I'm rooted and I had Android auto frozen for whatever reason, unfreeze and everything works as it should

Thanks, I'm going to try this, i always freeze Android auto since i never use it
Sorry for the late reply. After further investigation, it seems that my issue is mostly happening when I get in and out of my car: the phone switches from my headset to the car and when I am out of the car to the phone and not to the headset even though it was still connected. I can deal with that.
Some other time, not sure why, only one app will use the phone instead of the selected headset. I had to disconnect and reconnect the headset for it to work since toggling the sound output didn't help. This only happened once.
