I have a pair of Jabra Elite Active 65t Bluetooth earbuds. I had no problem connecting them to my Huawei Mate 20 X L-29 and they auto-connect each time I put them in my ears, but I have an odd problem. When I put them in my ears they say "connected" and play a little tune and I can then receive and make phone calls, call up and use Google Assistant, etc., and the voice audio through the earbuds works fine. But if I try to play any type of music, whether it is streaming through YouTube or Spotify, or even playing a downloaded .mp3 file through the Google Play Music app, I just get the sound of hissing and stuttering in my earbuds, no music. If I go into settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth off and then back on, voila, the music plays fine and continues to do so until I power my phone off and on and then the problem repeats itself, again solved by turning Bluetooth off and back on. These same Bluetooth earbuds auto-connect and play music fine with my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 and with my wife's Huawei Mate 8. The problem is therefore with this phone, not the earbuds. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I'm not experiencing this issue. Music/calls/youtube all play fine over bluetooth. I have the China version.
My Mate 20 X (China version, EMUI 9.0.0.137) are intermittent playing music through my bluetooth speaker, even the phone and speaker are next to each other. The speaker is fine playing music with my other Galaxy S8. The songs are stored in my phone, so the internet speed is not a concern.
Hey,
I think this very much depends on the pair of headphones. I have the Chinese Mate 20 X, and I own 2 pairs of BT headphones.
My skullcandy crushers work fine. Crisp, loud, in sync. No problems.
My Jaybird Run earbuds will only work for 1 or maybe 2 songs on spotify before losing connection or turning off. They are basically unusable. I'm not sure if it's the phone's fault or whether its more generally a bluetooth 5.0 problem?
I've tested my Jaybird Run earbuds on my old phone and I have no problem.
There are so many factors, its hard to say what's causing this and whether its the fault of the phone, bluetooth 5, or the headphones.
Same with p20pro ( same bt buds) to the point i just go to bt and disconnect and reconnect everytime beforeci start listening .
I m pretty sure its only happening with thid headset since i had a cheap bt headset before and it was fine .

Which buds are you using?
The P20 Pro is using Bluetooth 4.2
So I've done a bit more testing and have now paired my Jabra Active Elite 65t 5.0 Bluetooth earbuds with several other phones, running Android operating systems 7, 8, and 9. They pair and connect seamlessly on both calls and media. But on the Huawei Mate 20 x they connect immediately for calls, but they don't always connect for media playback. Like the chap above mentioned, this happens whether I am streaming music to the earbuds or playing music downloaded to my phone, so it is not a wifi issue. If I can't hear music going to my earbuds when the phone's settings say that I'm connected to them, I have to do one of two things. The first is to toggle Bluetooth off and then back on - in which case they music plays and will continue to do so until I've powered down and reconnected the earbuds. The second way to hear the music is to go into settings/developer options and change the default AAC Bluetooth codec to SBC, in which case I instantly hear music. I can then immediately switch back to the AAC codec (which my earbuds work with) and the music continues to play. There is no way, however, to change the 'default' codec to SBC, as each time you exit developer options it reverts to AAC. Perhaps Huawei could fix this in a subsequent firmware update and that may solve the problem. I'm receiving two more Huawei Mate 20 x phones this afternoon and I'll test it with them as well to see if the problem is isolated to the one phone or if it is a problem with all the Mate 20 x phones.

Your earbuds are using Bluetooth 5.0? That defeats my bluetooth theory.
I really hope Huawei fixes this with an update because it would be nice to use my earbuds with my main phone.
I'm having some bluetooth speak issues - BOSE speakers. However, I don't current;y have the time to find out what or why - Pairs but just doesn't seem to connect properly. I might try to investigate in December

My model is L29
To set the Jabra Service to run in the background (or any app for that matter) go to Settings / Battery / App launch, scroll down to Jabra Service and de-select "manage automatically". That will force it to run in the background all the time. It only uses a tiny amount of memory. You will know when you've done it correctly when you put your Jabra's in your ears (which turns them on and autoconnects them) and you see the little "Jabra Service" icon displayed on the top left hand side of the phone.
The L29 I ordered for my wife's Christmas present arrived today and the Bluetooth media connection problem occurs on it just like it does on my L29. I've tried the Jabra's on five or six other phones now and the problem playing media audio only occurs on the Mate 20 x. Must be a firmware glitch.

I do face the hissing and stuttering during play every time when I am near any electronic stores. This issue has been following me from my previous IPhone 8 Plus before getting this Huawei mate 20x.
After pairing up with huawei mate 20x, I still have similar issues like the description above. But it serves me well when I go for my run and gym. I still use wired earpiece while commute to avoid suspicious look talking to myself. Jabra elite active 65t, is my sports companion only.

Thanks. I've just bought thenm and I'm facing stuttering and interruption while watching prime video while in the subway. I previously had zolo liberty and had zero issues while in the subway. To be fair I always have two devices connected to the Jabra. I'm wondering whether that's the problem...but reading your answer I guess they don't seem to have a rock solid connection anyway.

I have a pair of LG-TONE HBS-730 earphones and also a FM transmitter in my car. Last night and this morning I had a similar problem as yours, and I had to restart the phone so I could hear music and calls through the bluetooth devices. A couple of hours ago, I tried again and everything worked very well, BUT after disconnecting them, the phone went like it was on Silent Mode. No sound at all, no ringtone, no music, even the alarm didn't emit any sound, so I had to restart the phone and sound got back to normal. At this moment I am doing some tests connecting and disconnecting the BT earphones, but the problem is gone, so I don't know what's going on.

On my s3 it paired automatically! on the s4 i had to do this.....
With the Power off, press the CALL button and move the power switch to the ‘ON’ side at the same time for 4 seconds to manually place the headset in pairing mode
I hope this helps!
Use BT all the time on my gs2 ill try this out tomorrow and see if there is anything out of the ordinary.
Needing to pair the bt device to the phone is very normal for the very first use - especially if its been paired with another device in its history. Ive found bt devices (headsets like the jabara bt3030/street2) often cant really have more than 1 or two pairs total or they dont connect / dont stay connected properly.
Also the samsung bt stack has had lots of issues with BT devices over the galaxy generations. hopefully its not back.
I've used a Moto S10 & S11 HD stereo BT and 2 different Jawbones without issue.
None of you guys have any issues with streaming audio music/pandora/google music on your phone to the car? My problem is getting worst and I cant stand it any longer. The music would skip constantly every few seconds making it unbearable. I checked google and few people has problems with it on androidcentral, im surprised no thread for it on here?
No issues here since device came out. Have a uconnect setup in my car and stream everything from my phones BT to the vehicle's BT. My old device did that often, had an older version of BT though I think? I've yet to have issues, sure maybe 1-2 times every week a song might skip a beat but not at all on the regular. If it's a regular occuranxe it could be a bad connection. I would then delete the profile and link from scratch the vehicle and phone's BT.
Also while listening and if it gets bad. Stop the BT connection, then reconnect. Sometimes a reconnection is better than your previous and skips go away. I just turn BT off on my device, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on and let the 2 connect. Try this and the above, those 2 methods should work if not one or the other.

I get static issues if someone calls me while I am listening to bluetooth audio, and then switch back to music. Usually switching to the radio and then back to bluetooth audio resolves this. Try making sure your settings in pairing options are set to allow data transfer between the device and your car. I initially could not even connect my device until I checked off that option.
I used to have the issue with HTC One M7 and Galaxy S4 in my Renault Medianav, but no such issues with the One M8,.
I can semi- validate this issue. I have three Bluetooth devices. My headset for phone calls will get some static if my M8 is also connected to my HTC Stereoclip, but goes away as soon as I'm out of range of the Stereoclip. Because of this, and the fact my Stereoclip runs on battery and often fails to disconnect after I leave car mode, I tried switching out my Stereoclip for the RocketFish Bluetooth Music Receiver.
Now, I don't get the static, but when streaming music through the RocketFish, it skips every 20-40 seconds. I've swapped out the RocketFish twice and have had the same issue each time.
Based on queries on the Android Revolution HD thread, the developers are saying it's a base issue and needs to be fixed by HTC.
I just find it odd that the Stereoclip will steam media without skipping, but third party hardware like the RocketFish does skip. Also, my headset doesn't get the aforementioned static issues with the RocketFish.
Also worth noting I have not had both the Stereoclip and RocketFish paired to my phone at the same time.

Just wanted to second this. Mine isn't that bad, but every so often (3-5 minutes) the music skips about 0.5 seconds. Have tried stopping my navigation app, putting the phone to sleep, and unplugging the charger. Nothing works so far.
Pretty sure it is not a pairing issue since this started the first time I paired my phone to the car stereo.
Needless to say, not happening when listening with headphones or speakers.
Any insight or updates would be very helpful. Thanks.

I have the same problem using a Sony Bluetooth Speaker BTX300.
It's really annoying. It happens with Deezer, Spotify or internal mp3. It does not happen on voice calls.
Maybe it's something related to the Bluetooth bitrate not handled correctly by device ?
Only happens to me in stock radio over bluetooth with the mylink system in the new chevys. No problem with my Kenwood head unit in my Cherokee though

On stock Bell ROM, pre camera/EPSM update, happened every minute in my 2011 Subaru WRX as well as my Motorola Buds. I flashed InsertCoin 2.4.0 and ElementX 0.10 today... no more skipping. Not sure which it was.
I'd had this issue before on my m7 with Pandora. Are you guys using adaway? If so, disable it and try again, it should go away

Hi guys,
Resurrecting this thread. I am having skipping/stuttering issues with my phone when streaming using Spotify over bluetooth A2DP.
I've tested this on 3 different bluetooth devices (Volvo, Belkin and another bluetooth speaker).
The problem is very annoying, once the screen goes off, music would slightly pause every 20-30 seconds.
This happens when using Spotify and TuneIn Radio.. so I'm pretty sure it's not an application problem.
Anyone else having the same problem? I'm running 4.4.3 - 2.07.980.2..
Also, I'm pretty sure this only started happening after the latest update from HTC.

I'm using an app that starts playing music as soon as I connect to my cars Bluetooth. Luckily this app also provides "wifi off on connect"
Gonna give this a try. Really hope this fixes the audio drops. Hate it.

So from one day with Wifi off I can definitely tell it doesn't drop audio on Bluetooth streaming anymore.
So turn your Wifi off to fix the m8 ?

Glad it works for you as well, this has fixed the problem for me most of the time. I use the Trigger app to turn off wifi when bluetooth connects.
On another issue which I don't think is related to the above, on my Volvo at random times, I still have severe stuttering issues to the point that you almost can't tell what music is playing. I've been having this since day 1 with the M8 and not from recent fw upgrade as above. I'm not sure whether this is Spotify or the bluetooth stack tho.
Nevertheless, any of the blueooth issues were something I never experienced with Samsung Galaxy S3, Xperia Z or any other phones. HTC!!, are you listening!?!
rBlink
I have the same problems connecting to my Arcam rBlink at home with my M8. Music dropouts every 20-30 secs. Streaming from my sons M7 is flawlessly.
Stopping Wifi makes it slightly better but is no option since I want to use spotify over wifi.
Could it be a problem with a low bit rate for bluetooth audio?
Arcam gives the advice to increase it for OS X as high as 58.
I am also getting this issue as of late....
I'm using an unrooted Sprint M8 HK phone.
My problem is audio drop out (0.5 sec) constantly. Doesn't make a difference over BlueTooth or the speakers.
It appears that it is related to the phone accessing something during playback which causes the dropout.
It does it when streaming over wif or data... it even does it with audio that I have downloaded to my SD card...
I have uninstalled everything back to when I thought the issues started with no luck.
Anyone with any ideas? I see where some have had this issue and even a hard reset (wipe) didn't solve it.
This doesn't occur on my Verizon M8 which has almost the identical app's installed.

I have an international version M8, bluetooth skips randomly when streaming on car bluetooth and to my sony srs X9 speaker. It seems to happen only with continuos feeds. Mi cousin told me the problem could be that bt device is searching at all times for other devices but since there is no option to stop search i can't be sure.

I am also having problems I have a Scala headset on my crash helmet it doesn't matter if WiFi is on or not when streaming music, It seems to be better with the play music app the car app is annoying because it comes part of htc and I don't know how to disable it without rooting the phone. Has anyone come up with a solution yet? It sounds like an old LP playing with the stylus jumping like a good en.
**** FIXED - it is a software problem with my tracks. GPS and Bluetooth work great through other GPS apps ****
I have a pair of bluebuds x and Jabra rox headphones and I get serious audio skipping and Bluetooth dropouts when streaming audio in offline mode. It happens at different spots on the same songs, but different again by headphone so I think it is the smartwatch.
Anyone else experiencing this? I took them running with the watch for two 5 mile jogs and it's worse when moving than when standing still. Also seems worse with my tracks watch GPS running without phone.
I did the resets, repairing headsets, etc...
Hopefully it's a firmware fix as they sound fine directly connected to my moto x. Anyone else try this?
- sent from tablet, so apologize for typos
bad news...
My question is about your running session. Did you use any app without the phone to track it? Is Google fit or My Tracks good enough for the GPS thing?, at least to wait for full proper running apps (without the need of the phone).
Using Google tracks without the phone.... Do you have issues too?
Not, just curious. My sw 3 will arrive next week.

Update...I swapped out my watch for a new one and still the same issue, so it must be the unit. I get Bluetooth drops when playing offline when
- screen goes from active to stanby mode
- When my tracks is running in active mode (works in mute mode), so something between the apps is causing problems
Next test would be different bluetooh headphones.... or just wait for more reports from other users.
I tried three pairs of headphones! Jabr Rox, Bluebuds X and Plantronics.

and 2 watches, right?
So we are now sure the crappy support for bluetooth at the moment. While we wait for future updates, can you try to select the lowest quality for offline playback in Google play music?
Perhaps high bitrate mp3 are not well managed by the watch... Just guessing.

You cant change the offline bitrate on google music...it is predetermined. Lets hope android wear 2.0 supposed to be ready this week fixes this and much more!
Ok. Let's hope a fix is coming, but I would not think about wear 2.0. Google only said features like gps and music would be the next step and that is already here. The other watches got the update a couple of weeks ago... So I think we're already in "2.0".

I've got the Bluetooth music stuttering too, but only with my tracks (gps) and offline music playing. No problem with offline music play without my tracks. I think too this must be a problem with the Bluetooth and gps combo. Since the main reason I bought the Smartwatch 3 was as a fitness wearable for running. The only thing that sets this device apart is the phone free music with gps, Bluetooth, and wifi radios. I hope they can fix it through a update. Otherwise I won't be keeping it and can't recommend it.
I can report no stuttering with Plantronics Backbeat GO 2 with offline music play. Didn't try it in conjunction with GPS though.
Well ive tried it every which way with the Sony ws-610s and no skipping at all! Not sure what bluetooth they use, ill have a look tomorrow.
I got my SW3 today
I can confirm the stuttering when the screen goes to standby and when you start applications, etc.
I started the gps (from the developer menu) and did not get any stuttering.
I'm thinking that this is more of a software problem (at kernel level) and not a hardware problem so it might be fixed (at least I hope so) with a firmware update.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm using the Sony SBH20 bluetooth headset
I guess we should file a bug for this.
I was afraid of getting the skip issue from this thread, however, today was the first day that I was able to try the offline features of the watch. I have no skipping issues at all and that was running both the GPS and the Headset for music with the screen turning off during my run. I am running the new Sony MDR-AS800BT headset. So far this headset is definitely one of the better ones that I have owned for sport use! It does not fall out whatsoever.
I wonder if it has something to do with the Bluetooth version. My headset is BT 3.0. I guess the MDR-AS800BT is BT 4.0 or later.
I keep thinking this is a problem of resources... the kernel is putting the cores in the processor in a economy state that is not powerful enough to encode to the BT headset and simultaniously handle the my tracks app and the GPS flow. Android 4.3 had a bug like that and they did fix it.
Maybe the difference in user experiences depends on whether music is in 128kbps or 320kbps or more. Can anyone with stuttering try with maybe the same song with different mp3 bitrates?
I'm looking to buy this thing, but after my terrible experience with Samsung Gear Fit, I am waiting to see the user experiences and problems.
GPS erratic differences may be as a result of some users not waiting long enough to get decent GPS fix, which takes a while with standalone devices and no network.
I tried the jabra rox, which were bt 4.0 and then bluebuds x which were 2.1 and the rox were actually worse. No Sony headphones to test here in NY at the major retailers.
I think it's software too or perhaps the tracks app is bad with resources
The MDR-AS800BT is bluetooth 3.0, as for the sound quality I was using 320kbps files in my run. No issues whatsoever. Anyone tried lossless files? I wanted to try tidal on the wear for offline playback. I hope they get the walkman soon to use with the wear.
I cannot fully connect Bluetooth so the phone part works with my 2016 Mazda cx9. I can only get the audio. All boxes are checked on the Bluetooth side but the screen on the car says cannot connect with phone. Any other settings I could try or maybe missing?

Getting same thing on my Lexus Gs and my fiat 500
I'm also having a Bluetooth issue with my car, though it's a bit different. It pairs no problem and it will play music through the car speakers but then it randomly starts playing through the phone speakers. I go into Bluetooth on the phone and it says it's still connected to the car but it plays through the phone. It's happened 3 times now. Two times turning Bluetooth off and on again fixed it, the other time I couldn't get it to play through he car speakers again.
The sound has also been very choppy through one of my Bluetooth speakers. I'm hoping this is software related, not something wrong with the hardware.
I have an issue w/ BT in my car as well, but in my case the phone connects but doesn't STAY connected. It pairs just fine to the car (Cadillac SRX), but drops within seconds. When I first paired it, the connection dropped before I could even add the smart lock device. I repeated multiple times, and even turning BT off/on it literally disconnects within 5 seconds. So I can't even make calls in the car. But it connects and stays connected just fine to my Soundfreak BT speaker in the house..
No BT issues to report here. Phone and audio work perfectly in my 2016 Infiniti Q60.
Same here. 2013 Genesis Coupe BT wokring great no issues....
mine says in correct pin, lol but both Pins are the same on the car and phone, idk
Anyone have updates on this or has onePlus acknowledged it? It looks like they have tons of a2dp problems on their forums with the oneplus X and have yet to resolve them, just leaving the people with a phone that doesn't work with tons of different systems, which work with about 99% of other phones.
To update my situation, in my 2014 Lexus it will not display any song information or play music properly.
In my 2016 fiat, it makes the car completely useless as it sends the fiats head unit into a boot loop upon connecting.

I'm now having an exciting new problem. If I'm listening to music over Bluetooth and I stop somewhere, to get coffee this morning for example, when I get back in the car it'll start playing back on the car speakers but extremely quietly. I have to turn the car volume up to max to barely hear it. I have to toggle Bluetooth like 5 times or more to get it working again.

Have exact same issue with my Escalade
Seems to be a default bug with Oneplus phones and yet my cheap Cubot at a 1/6 of the price of the OP3 connects fine to my car.
2015 Fiat Ducato works well.

Bluetooth connectivity does not drop on my VW Golf VI, however no song information is displayed, it just shows 'Bluetooth Audio'.

Really driving me mad.

Got problems with my Kenwood car stereo as well. Sometimes, if I'm trying to connect, it just says that the PIN is incorrect (even though I don't enter one). And if I'm lucky enough and it opens the prompt to enter the PIN, it won't do anything after I enter it.
Had a similar problem on my HTC m7 or Nexus 4 (can't remember) with a faulty custom ROM. Changed to another one and it worked again.
But I don't wanna leave stock on my Opo3 yet :S
I have the Renault Kadjar and using the stock rom i can only use the music side of the bluetooth. I spoke with Oneplus and they tried to help but they did not know what is wrong. I ended up rooting the phone and using a Custom Rom, at the moment i am using resurrection rom and i have no problems with the bluetooth.
Just tried it with my other car which has a pioneer radio. No problems with that one.
Still a no go on with the MediaNav

So I had been on the beta version since it was released and participated a few times in the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/android-o-beta-issues-t3609335 and others were having the same issue.
The issue is no song/artist information being displayed on my touchscreen stereo, and I cannot use the stereo to pause/skip to the next track (I have to do it through my phone). Ive tried a local audio player, Google Music, and Pandora all to no avail. The deck is a Pioneer double-din AVH-P8400BH.
In my daily car, my phone bluetooth name appears and I can change song ect thru the deck. It is not a touchscreen and it probably 10 years old.
Ive gone into the bluetooth settings and have tried changing the AVRCP from 1.4 to 1.6 (neither work), and audio codec from default to enable optional (neither worked).
Anything else I should try out?
TIA

I had the same issue, but a simple unpair and forget from both devices then repair fixed my problem

Ill have to give this a shot!
mine has awful streaming. It has so many skips...snags...audio blanks...whatever term you want to call it....its not "uninterrupted".
I was hoping google IMPROVED Bluetooth. I don't understand why they have this struggle to be honest. Its 2017....Bluetooth is not new technology.
Maybe they should stop expanding their department to provide data to the government to spy on private citizens using smart devices, and they would use those resources to fix bluetooth
Pioneer brand head units in particular I have seen Bluetooth streaming issues when paired to flagship model phones for years...even back as far as my LG G3. I got a Kenwood head unit instead, never had an issue.
As far a the Pixel XL and BT streaming...I have only had issues with dropouts zap sounds or pops, when i am out mowing my back property with my tractor...phone in pocket and BT headphones on. But my previous phones did this...most certainly due to the railroad nearby and high rise high voltage power lines and towers that are above me in that area.

Pioneer uses a cheaper bluetooth and never updates the firmware of the chips to fully support the available Bluetooth profiles even when they are developing their units and new profile updates are available. I have had a very long and annoying history with them to the point where I was in direct contact with their build team after all my complaining. That was back in 2012. Never used another of their products again. :good:
I have the same issue on my Chevy Colorado 2017. Everything works fine on Spotify on my Huawei Mate 9, and iPhone 7. It also worked fine on 7.1.2. Spotify works and music comes through but no info is displayed. I unpaired both things with no success. Frustraring.
I tried unpairing mine as well, no luck either

Have you tried unticking "media" in the profile hitting ok, going back in and ticking media again?

I have not. Ill give it a shot today.
No idea if this problem is related or not but might be worth a check if you have time. First time I put Oreo on my phone it was fine. Then I screwed something up and just ADB flashed the image again. Everything was fine until I tried bluetooth a few days later. It wouldn't connect until ticking that media box many times. Then I flashed the image again and it worked fine again.
So I just got the 8.0 OTA (not on beta). I see in the dev options that it shows what BT codec it is using.
I have noticed that only the option "Bluetooth AVRCP Version:" is the only value that changin it does it stick. The other setting appear to be on auto and revert to auto depending on what device u pair supports.
My first test on my Kenwood KDC-BT762HD it paired fine and it said it was using AptX. Streamed for a few min fine. Then after I got back in the car and it auto paired, music started skipping every several seconds. I turned radio off then on to repair it and it started streaming fine again....but was using SBC according to Dev options.
When I changed AVRCP version to 1.6.....it connects and uses AptX fine. However, the radio display no longer displays the BT media metadata(title/artist), but the controls on the radio still work. I change to AVRCP ver 1.4 and that restores metadata, but then it uses SBC again. (using ver 1.5 results in SBC and no metadata).
I don't really care about the song info not being displayed on my radio....but definitely seems to be something fishy with BT in this new update.
EDIT Update: so now I am noticing it auto re-connecting and using SBC all the time now. WOnt use aptX unless i delete the device and re-pair it. then it works for a few reconnects, but then drops to sbc cagin.
Thanks for posting, I won't be updating. The Bluetooth has never been right and now seems to have regressed.

i agree and although i dont get the proper song listing on my car stereo it seems everything else is better. on nougat my BT headset i use for work all day (moto buds) would often stop connecting properly and i would make a call and have to select "phone" then "headset" again to get audio back on headset and om Oreo it happens less frequently

If you switch to a rom that uses the CAF based bluetooth (all lineageos based ones should, crDroid does for sure as that is what I use) implementation this won't happen. Still haven't been able to track down exactly why, but for now I'm sticking with CAF based ROMs to avoid this.
Do any of you guys having this issue have an Android wear watch? I've had heaps of issues with Bluetooth streaming being all "jittery" and just skipping since the update. However, I found this is basically completely fixed when I turn my android wear (LG urbane) off, or at least the Bluetooth on it.
Tried all the developer options for BT but hasn't made a difference. At the moment, my solution is turning off BT on my watch when I'm listening to music. Bit crap but it works.
I have factory reset the watch and cleared BT cache on pixel.
Any other ideas?
Is anyone else still having problems with Bluetooth on Oreo? I was hoping the official 8.1 release would help me, but I'm seeing no change. I have a Kenwood BT952HD, and experience issues similar to what the OP describes. Audio is plays fine, no unreasonable stuttering. But I get no song info, and can't skip tracks. Also, the pairing isn't as automatic. Every time I turn on the car, I have to wake the phone up, and wait for the pairing to complete, which takes longer than usual.
I've tried playing with the AVRCP settings, along with clearing registrations at both ends and repairing, with no luck. Is anyone else still seeing similar issues?
8.1 working fine with my Kenwood BT762HD. I use PowerAmp v2 alpha build 704 app.
