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.

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.
Hi All,
I recently bought a 2014 Civic Si and I've been getting strange disconnects from the Bluetooth Hondalink. Initially the phone would disconnect every 30 seconds or so and I realized it was because I had to allow the phone to share the phone book. That seemed to solve the constant, repetitive disconnects. Since then, when I start the car, the phone will connect, but then disconnects as soon as the phone functionality or the media functionality is accessed by the car the first time. If I then manually reconect the phone via Bluetooth it will stay connected just fine. After manually reconnecting I can stream audio or take/make phone calls no problem.
As an example, I start the car, the phone and Hondalink connect, Pandora will automatically start playing through the car audio. After about 10 seconds, it disconnects and then I hear Pandora from the phone speakers. I manually reconnect the phone to Hondalink and it stays connected, all works good after that.
Any ideas what might be happening on the initial connection?
My M8 is a carrier unlocked version ordered from HTC. I use it on AT&T.
Thanks for any ideas,
Lenny

I would delete it out of your phone, and delete the phone out of your car, start over the procedure and see if that helps.
I'm having Bluetooth problems in my civic 2012..
Bluetooth streaming works fine, but calls disconnect and reconnect to the cars Bluetooth.
I've deleted the devices both from the car and phone, but it still disconnects and reconnects. Has anyone found a fix for this?
I know this doesn't help you at all, but I have a 2015 Civic and I have this exact same problem. HTC One M8, starts up fine and then disconnects. I have to manually choose a device to connect to and then I'm good to go for the rest of the time.
Annoying.

My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
Any and all suggestions would be great. Also right now I am on rooted stock 5.0.1
PS: I will try and post some photos to help when I get the chance to get to my car.
I've been start for a solution to this since the phone came out as well. I have the same Bluetooth issues with my phone in my car. Nothing more annoying than having to turn Bluetooth on and off for 10-15 minutes of your drive before you can use the damn thing. Oh wait, more annoying would be when it's been working for a solid 45 minutes or so and then suddenly, with no warning, the Bluetooth connection ends for no reason and your cars stereo comes on instead of what you were streaming only the volume on the cars radio is far louder and it scares the ever living crap out of you

Odd....I dont seem to have that issue. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music.
In the car I don't get a lot of skipping. But when connected to my BT speakers audio does skip a lot and starts playing in ffw then disconnects completely. It's driving me nuts. I've tried all the usual trouble shooting also. No help. Wtf Samsung/Google
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.
I am having a really strange and annoying issue with my Bluetooth audio. When I connect to a headset (TWE, HS3000, etc.) or my Spark Amp, media audio works just fine, no issues at all. On every car stereo (cheap Alpine, Kenwood deck w/Apt-X, Sena motorcycle headset) that I connect to, 95% of the time, the media audio does not work. I can take and make calls, receive notifications, but music audio doesn't come through (shows that it is playing, though), and navigation audio doesn't come through. It doesn't matter what app I use (tried VLC, Amazon Music, PowerAmp, YouTube, etc.). Sometimes I hear a pop or click. The only way to get it to work is to disconnect the bluetooth, then reconnect it and then it works. I suspect it has something to do with the hands-free profile, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work reliably. It is very tedious to have to disconnect and reconnect every time I start my car (especially if I am out running errands at multiple shops). This has been going on since the day I bought the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas?
