Bluetooth connection problems in car

My Note connects to my car (2014 Nissan Altima) but it does not work properly.
My Galaxy S3 worked perfectly fine. The music played, titles of songs showed, calling and phone book features worked, and connected every time automatically. Now it is a completely different story with the Note 4. At first the only problem was that the titles or any information about the song did not show up on the dash. But now I can't even make a call. Even if I manually go into my phone and call someone I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The only thing that works is the music plays through the speakers.
Is anyone else having this problem or, most importantly, know a solution?

I posted about this too, I have the exact same problem in 3 different cars from 2008 all the way to 2015 and everyone says to try and update the cars firmware for the new bluetooth but that did not help. The funny thing is, I had it working fine for a bit then out of the blue it just stopped and now the phone acts like my stereo is a bluetooth headset.

I am having the same issue with my Note 4. My truck has the Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth. With my Note 2 and my wife's S5 i can make a receive calls with no problem. With my Note 4 I can play music over bluetooth, but if I try to make or receive a call I can't hear the person on the other end and they cannot hear me. With one exception. I have found that if I was listening to music over bluetooth then I can make/receive calls with no issues, as long as I let the phone app stop the music playback.
It is driving me crazy.

Note 4 bluetooth issues
I am having issues with the bluetooth on my Porsche PCM when on calls it sounds like there is a bunch of paddles prattling for a few seconds every 10 t0 20 seconds and then the call will sometimes drop. Any ideas?

Hopefully some new firmware in the future can fix these silly problems

So I think I may have found a work around. This morning I went into the bluetooth settings on my phone and I unchecked the Call Audio box and the Media Audio box for my truck. I exited settings. Then went back to settings and checked the boxes. After that my bluetooth worked perfectly for calls and media.

Suckage...

Mine worked with this work around one time. Then back to the old situation. I have a Note 4 and am driving a 2014 Nissan Altima. I'm hoping that with the new Lollipop 5.0 update coming out to the Note 4 that it will be resolved. We shall see. It's very annoying. My old S4 worked flawlessly in my car.

I have constant pairing issues with my 2012 elantra.

I have the same pairing issues in my 2011 Kia Soul - it will pair fine and work - until I shut the car. Then it is a constant pairing failed. If I stop and unpair and re-pair it works again - until I shut the car.

Check under Bluetooth for your car, hit the settings icon next to it, is call and media checked?

Exactly the same issue here. Maybe there is a firmware issue that can be addressed by the dealership.

Easy fix for car Bluetooth issues.
Iny car I would repeatedly get pairing failed issues and would have to unpaid/pair every time I got in the car....
I disabled smart remote and have not had one issue since.

have had the same problem intermittently on my Ford Edge with My Sync connects fine once then the next time connects but wont answer calls or volume drops, only solution i have found is to unpair the device forget it and start over (this happened with my S5 on android 4.4.4 as well)

To disable it... Just long press the icon (in the app tray) and drag it to the top... There is an option I believe 3rd from left that allows you to disable it....I disable all the bloatware I don't use.... I didn't disable smart remote thinking I would use it....
How did I figure out that would work.... I have no clue... But I was having the pairing failed every single time I got in the car... Had to unpair and remove device every time.... After disabling... Haven't had an issue once...

new Ford Edge and same thing paired and worked once using this fix then back to same ol' crap.

I too tried this method of disabling the smart remote but did not have any favorable results. I have tried to sync my phone to two different vehicles and will not even sync one time. Tried on a Ford Sync system and on a 2013 Altima with no success. This is the oh problem I have had with this phone and it is driving me nuts! If any good fixes are found please post for those of us who are having this vehicle Bluetooth problems. Take care.

I also disabled smart remote. After a couple of days it started giving me issues. I have a 2012 Hyundai elantra.

Nissan 370Z, no bluetooth connection issues with me. Every once in a while after start up, the initial song title doesnt show on the screen, but once it goes to the next track it's fine. Note 3 never had that issue.

[Pixel 2 XL] Bluetooth microphone issues

Has anyone tested the microphone on their bluetooth sets yet with the Pixel 2 XL?
I'm scared I might have a defective phone. My bluetooth headset connects to my phone just fine, and even plays audio just fine, however, the microphone is not picking anything up. This means I can't use hands free calling, or hands free Google assistant.
I know it's not my bluetooth device because it works fine when connected to my older phone (Nexus 6P)
Has anyone else had trouble with doing microphone over bluetooth? I'm not sure if I need a replacement or just a software patch.
For reference, I use the LG HBS-1100 bluetooth headset.
http://www.lg.com/us/bluetooth-headsets-headphones/lg-HBS-1100-Silver-tone-platinum
Later today, I will try a different bluetooth device.
EDIT: I tried with my older pair, the LG HBS-750, same issue.

I've got a soundbuds tag headset, the connection speed is faster and my phone calls seem ok. I've only made like 2 calls so far though.

@Traceguy I've had several lg headsets and they all sucked. No could hear me or I was breaking up all over the place. Switched to the jaybird x3 and it's been perfect ever since.
Disclaimer: I'm on a Nexus 6. Waiting patiently for the 2XL to arrive next week...

I've talked with Google support, they helped troubleshoot, but nothing could be found out of the ordinary, and it's now being elevated to the next level support team. They have my phone number and will call me back when they find anything.
My Bluetooth version is up-to-date, but there is a update pending for my Pixel 2 XL, which hasn't made it to my phone yet. That may or may not help. IDK
I will get a friend later today to connect his bluetooth to my Phone and test the mic. Maybe it's a total LG issue.

I'm gonna say it's an LG issue. I went through 4 pair of the infinium headsets. All had issues with ppl hearing me. Even when paired to different phones.

I don't know much about how Bluetooth works, do Bluetooth devices use drivers similar to USB devices? Maybe the Pixel 2 XL is missing the necessary drivers for the LG HBS sets. That is something that can be fixed with a software update.

It's not an LG issue. It's happening with my car's head unit and others are reporting it in the Pixel User Community. This is one of a few strings that include it. https://productforums.google.com/fo...pPfDGvkNw;context-place=forum/phone-by-google

I'll just wait patiently to see what happens. I'm hopeful it's not a hardware defect with the bluetooth chip in my phone. I never use bluetooth car's head unit, for whatever reason it drops every few seconds or minutes. I'm driving a 2013 Charger, so I'd expect better results. I use aux, and thanks to the USB-C Dongle, I am not stuck without a way to play my music in the car, though without the microphone input from my headset, I can no longer tell Google which song to play.

I just came here to check.
I can place calls and be hear over bluetooth both on the car and my Sol Republic headphones.
Assistant can not hear over either. Assistant does work over a wired headset.
Support had me boot into safe mode, spoiler: Assistant won't even launch in safe mode, and factory reset which did not fix the issue.
They have no resolution at this time, but are looking into it and wanted me badly to leave feedback on the problem. I'd suggest anyone with the problem leave feedback as well.
At least I'm not the only one. They said I'm the first to call. ut then again they also said it coud be a hardware issue which I just can't see.

Mine, too. I have a Pioneer head unit. Playing is fine, Assistant is fine when not connected to Bluetooth, but Assistant just will not work over Bluetooth. I use this all the time so it's already driving me crazy and it's only been one day. (Same head unit worked fine with previous phones... Pixel 1, Nexus 6p, and OnePlus One.)

I'll add myself here as a +1... Same symptoms. Seems like microphone over BT doesn't work.

I have a Plantronics v5200 and it works for calls. But not for assistant. Sucks......it will activate assistant on a long press. But registers no sound. Works perfect on my original xl. So it's not the headset.

Also confirmed that it WILL work just fine if I launch it with "OK Google" instead of a squeeze or button. So it can work... Starting to seem like a bug in Assistant, which makes me hopeful for a decent fix.

@Anaelith Yes, but did you enable bluetooth Mic input from settings? If not, saying "Okay Google" will use the internal microphone in the phone instead of using bluetooth.
Go to Google Now settings > Voice > Enable "Bluetooth headset". This option "Records audio through Bluetooth headset if available"
That aside. I have tried bluetooth mic in a phone call and it works. I also tried Bluetooth audio with my Car's head unit and have not received a single drop. So the drop problem was related to my Nexus 6p.
Seeing as the mic works for phone calls, the problem seems to truly be software related.

Using a Jabra Eclipse, all settings correctly enabled. Not only does the Google Assistant not work, but neither does voice texting.
Worked fine on my original XL, so I know the earpiece is good.
Guess they better look into this...

Works fine on calls, won't work on assistant.
Man, I'm just gonna get my phones six months after release. It sucks to have to debug all this stuff for Google.
[UPDATE] I wrote here and I have a smaller pixel 2, but I have this issue too.

I'm another one. None of my Bluetooth microphones work on the pixel 2 XL, but do on my 6P

Hi everybody I think I may have found a possible fix/workaround
Settings\search\voice\Ok Google detection
Turn on ok Google anytime turn on trusted voice
(May have to do voice training)
Now when I press the call button and say "OK Google" then the command I hear it in my headset and it works. If I don't say ok google it doesn't work. It may be that it's actually my phone picking it up and not the Bluetooth mic but I hear the audio in my headset and can use it to search Google and play music. And it also picks up my audio in calls
I am on a regular pixel 2

I am facing the same issue. When connected to my BT headset or car BT, it's like my mic mutes after the hot word. Also, some phone calls can't hear me at all. Have to hang up and call back, then no issues. I've also contacted support and sent in feedback with system info to create a ticket.
I was having different issues as well, so I wiped my device and manually put all of my stuff back on (vs doing a restore), just to see if this fixes anything. Haven't retried BT yet, but will this evening. Other issues appear to be gone and the phone feels a lot smoother since doing this though. I think my restore from my OG Pixel didn't go so well.

Bluetooth Disconnects/Stutters

Hello all,
I know there are a few threads already about bluetooth issues but mine may be unique in a sense.
When my Pixel 2 XL is connected to my JBL speaker or car, the bluetooth stutters a lot (sometimes cutting off sound for 2 seconds at a time) and after a while it just disconnects completely. Restarting my phone might temporarily fix it and I'm not sure what causes it to happen. One thing to note is that the first time this happened is when I set up Android Auto and I could not even use it because it would just disconnect every two seconds.
I'm not sure if Android Auto is causing the issues, I will uninstall it today and see if my problems still happen. In the meantime, any ideas about why this might be happening? Anyone else have some of the same issues?
Some more troubleshooting information:
*My phone is only paired with three devices (watch, speaker, car).
*I keep bluetooth on all day.
*Disconnecting bluetooth and reconnecting it doesn't fix the problem, only restarting seems to make it stop.
*When the issue is happening, no information about the song is showing up on my car's display like it usually does. And none of the car controls can change the song or pause it like usual.

Have the same issue too.

I have the same error with my Pixel 2 XL.
It stutters when I use my Bose quietcomfort 35 bluetooth headphones, and is annoying enough to be unusable. These headphones work fine with a couple different iPhones I tried it with.
The bluetooth on the phone works fine with my monster superstar bluetooth speaker.
I spoke with a google representative, and while on the phone with her I the music played through the headphones without skipping. As soon as the call ended, the music started skipping again. The rep was not able to help me.
It seems the Pixel 2 XL has a problem with some devices and is ok with others.

I have the same headphone never had an issue with the QC35's and the Pixel 2 XL, also my car audio does drop for about half a second or less every now and again. But generally it has been solid

Also had the problem with a headphones Airy of the brand Teufel here in Germany. After Oreo update to 8.1 I don't have this anymore. Excuse my not perfect english.

I have the same problem. If I am driving I turn my wifi off and the Bluetooth issue stops.

Seems like a trend. I noticed the same since March update

Bluetooth issues on official android Pie

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 ..

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.

Anyone having Bluetooth issues?

Like I get disconnects from my car. The phone audio won't come through ones I turn on media audio. It's a mess. Anyone experiencing this? Is there a way to clear the Bluetooth cache? I googled and see how to do it on earlier versions but not pie. Tia

@DrUnkeN_TiGeR My car only supports telephone/contacts, not audio. I had to buy a cheap BT audio receiver and now everything works fine. What is the year/make/model of your car? Was it working with your previous phone and which one was that? You can find network reset in settings to reset bt.

I had an issues popup the last few days of playing music via BT to a BT Speaker.. after I stopped playing music, the volume rocker/popup would randomly show up, I was still connected to the BT Speaker but not playing anything and quit out of Spotify. I turned off BT and it stopped. Also, when I was playing music connected to BT, I randomly quit playing through the speaker. I had to turn off BT and turn it back on to resume play. Just sharing my issues.

Before the December update, all was perfect with one exception, the audio information would not show in my car while using certain music apps. After the December patch, audio now cuts out every once in a while. Like the pixel 2xl did the entire year I had it... Google seems to have issues making their bluetooth work like it should. Hopefully the January patch will fix things (not holding my breath).

Glad to hear not just me thanks guys

This exact thing has happened to me. I think it has only occurred with Play Music but I don't know if that's the cause. Didn't occur before December update.
More details. It seems to happen when I've advanced a song but that could be coincidence. I get no audio. I have a Subaru and I can see on the even display BT disconnected. Then it starts to cycle between connected and disconnected until I just turn on BT on my phone. Even though it briefly reconnects it doesn't actually function. No audio
