Just wondering whether anyone else has connected their phone (I have a HD7) to a car kit or similar?
Here's my experience with Parrot Mki9100.
Using the parrot controls:
Most things work. Play and pause work, voice control works either by syncing your contacts to the parrot or by not syncing and then using the phones voice control.
For some reason if you pause the music you cant press play on the parrot kit again, you have to go back into the phone to press play.
Forward and back for tracks works, the skip forward and back doesnt.
Of course you can control from the phone however you want. I'm sad that the promised voice control of the zune interface didnt come through.
But the biggest problem is a slight crackle with the music. It's not a massive problem and I've not used any other devices so it might be that I'm expecting too much of bluetooth a2dp and i'm happy using it like this. But at certain types during songs which have lots of guitar going on you get a crackle.
I was trying to work out if it was the phone or parrot, so i've connected my phone to my laptop, playing music now and the same lovely crackle. Anyone else experienced the same?
Thanks and hope this was helpful to someone
I just connected mine to my car for A2DP as well (Samsung Focus). It streams music fine but my play/pause/skip controls don't work (they did on my WM 6.1 device). I also have the same issue of having to use the phone to resume after a call.
I get the slight distortion as well at HF (just from tweeters). I believe this is b/c A2DP includes compression in the protocol (its not full 20-20k bandwidth). Its only on a few songs for me and something I can live with.
I am experiencing the same thing. However, the bluetooth stack on wp7 is way...way better and works with parrot better than any of the previous wm versions.
Hey everyone. Gotta say, i love this phone its the android device i always wanted. However, im having issues with my car bluetooth which i have not experienced before... namely, that random phonecalls sound completely digitized.
Ive come from an htc desire and htc sensation on the same car without issue and am worried i got a bad BT antenna-or its software...
Anyone out there experiencing the same thing? Any advice (other than buying a new car)?
I am having the same issues on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus V4.02. If I turn bluetooth off mid-call the earpiece sounds fine. The static only happens during voice calls, streaming A2DP sounds fine. There are bluetooth improvements listed in the 4.03 changelog, hopefully this will be resolved.
I had some problems with my BT speaker phone. I turned off the key press sounds and the screen off sounds and that pretty much fixed it.
I have an off topic question for you guys that use bluetooth streaming. Can start the car and press play from the HU to start music? I can with my old D2, but not my TB. I have to actually start the music player on the thunderbolt, then I can control it from my HU. I would like to upgrade, but I don't see a huge advantage in upgrading if I still can't start my music without having to actually take the phone out of my pocket. (Yes, I know it's stupid, but I'm lazy.)
I have this same issue in one of my cars. I ran a number of tests and the issue only occurs on my vehicle when the phone is connected to both for telephony and a2dp music. The static occurs whether or not a2dp is actually being used to stream music or not. This particular vehicle has two separate devices for music and telephony. If I unpair or disconnect the music device, then telephony works without the audio distortion. As soon as I reconnect the music device, the static is re-introduced.

I am experiencing this issue as well and have not been able to resolve it. I've tried disabling the touch sounds, screen off sounds, etc. but to no avail.
It pretty much makes handsfree unusable while driving. What have you guys done in the meantime? Have you been able to resolve the issue yet?
Here's my specific details:
Phone: Verizion LTE Galaxy Nexus v4.02 stock/unrooted
Handsfree Car System (phone audio): Stock 2007 Audi A4
Separate A2DP Module (media audio): Dension Gateway Five connected to factory Stereo
All of my previous phones (Thunderbolt, Droid X, Incredible, OG Droid) have fully supported this setup with no issues whatsoever.
On a sidenote, my A2DP streaming is also unreliable. It first has trouble connecting to the device. If/when it does, audio constantly cuts out when streaming Pandora, Slacker Radio, Google Music... pretty much any streaming over network connection. I have not tried locally stored music yet as I don't have any currently stored on my device. Are you guys experiencing this A2DP issue as well?
I wonder how widespread this is and if it warrants opening an official issue with Google.
I used to have a Blackberry Torch, and I have a Ford Mustang. When I would connect the BT to it, if the Wifi was on, it would "interfere" with the signal. Turning wifi off, fixed the issue. This was a widely known issue with the Torch. Granted that shouldn't have to be a fix, but can any of you verify whether your wifi is on? (regardless of if its connected to anything or not). I'm wondering if the Nexus is using the same BT/WIFI chip that the Torch used.

I appreciate the suggestion but unfortunately, I have the issue even if WiFi is off (I never use WiFi).
I'm going to try and toggle a few of the sound and haptic feedback settings a little more to see if it's pertinent to a certain on/off configuration. It's a shot in the dark but I'll try anything at this point.
ok it was worth a shot. Maybe on a whim turn off 3g/data so basically its airplane mode except BT is on? Just to eliminate any RF interference. Other than that I dont know
Spent quite a bit of time in the car today to try and pinpoint a cause and I have had no luck.
Phone audio will sound great and then all of the sudden turn digitized and distorted for a random period of time, then revert back to sounding great. One thing to note is that the distortion is both ways - the person I'm talking to also hears it when I speak and cannot understand what I'm saying. It's very frustrating not being able to use this feature.
I am on my 2nd replacement phone and ALL of them have had this issue (returned two others to VZW due to this issue and the speaker clicking issue). I am still wondering if it is software/OS releated or if it's due to poor hardware.
Quick Update (kind of):
I messed around with more settings last night. I am happy to report that after I disabled NFC last night, I made several handsfree calls in my car with perfect clarity and no issues. Also, A2DP streaming Pandora worked flawlessly! I was happy that I thought I pinpointed the issue - NFC interference.
BUT this morning, I made a handfree call and it was immediately distorted. Frownie face! A2DP Streaming Pandora still worked great. I am now trying to determine if my success last night was a fluke or if something is different with the phone this morning. The only difference from last night to this morning, that I have been able to identify so far, is I now have the extended battery in the phone. Last night's success had the standard battery. I'll switch them back at lunch and re-test.

I've got the same issue. Even with NFC disabled. Makes listening to Pandora in the car unbearable. I've gone through the same steps as you, but hasn't exchanged the phone yet. I've had previous Androids and it was a hit/miss with the distortion, but with an iPhone or BB never had this issue. Go figure.
thanks to all the replies, will update to 4.0.3 and try out some more options.
- unplugging my music dongle had no effect on call quality
- NFC on or off had no effect
I also find that the music adapter never auto-connects and needs me to go in to the BT settings page and manually select it.
thanks all.
Hello again. So I have an update that adds to the flakiness ...
Updated to the Bugless Beast ROM and Franco's kernel. My intent was to completely reset the phone and hopefully get a new Bluetooth stack in the process.
Initially everything paired OK, but after a while my audio randomly disconnects after about 20minutes and then reconnects depending on its mood.
My phone connection is more controllable now: if the BT is enabled on my phone when I turn on the car, the sound quality is entirely digitized and unusable. If I turn on the car and THEN enable my phone, the sound quality is flawless every time.
Still not ideal, but manageable. For the music audio part, I lay the blame entirely on the Audi Music Interface BT adapter: the thing is crap and always in pair mode even with the car turned off! The telephone BT in the car head unit has seen several phones pair with it without any issues (I do mobile development so I get to play with many phones) so in that case, I can't blame anything but the Nexus.
I really hope someone at Google or Samsung reads these threads since it would be tough to troubleshoot, but there's no doubt an issue exists with general BT compatibility.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Anyone have an update on this issue? Does anyone know of a ROM with a different Bluetooth stack than AOKP? I love everything else about AOKP. I have had the same garbled bluetooth audio from stock - 4.03 with franco and faux kernels with the same result. I had similar problems with Cyanogen 7 ROM I was using on my Incredible the week before I bought the Nexus.
Update - I experimented with a couple of additional devices, and the multiple connections problem with my Nexus is limited to A2DP only devices.
I am now using a Garmin BlueTrip with "phone audio" deselected in bluetooth options. As long as the additional bluetooth device is handsfree profile capable, the A2DP functions perfectly, calls are clear, and the device reconnects after a power cycle consistently. I'm glad this appears to be a software issue and not something we will have to live with for the life of the phone. I'm sure a future update will correct this issue.
I'm also having a problem with Bluetooth calls sounding very digitized and/or choppy. It is bad enough that it can be extremely difficult to make out what the caller is saying. A2DP, on the other hand, has performed pretty flawlessly and the device consistently reconnects each time I get in the car (although it can take up to 30 seconds or so).
I'll have to do a little experimenting with some of the settings mentioned in this thread to see if they have any affect.
On a related note, I feel like sometimes calls made/recieved on the handset can sound digitized as well (although not nearly as bad as over bluetooth). Has anyone else experienced this?
My hardware is:
Verizon GNex (4.0.2)
Parrot MKi9000
I have looked through 16 pages and have not found a solution.
My day old verizon G3 works with phone calls, but thats it. Audio wont play with videos or music when paired with bluetooth headphones
I have tried google play music and power amp.
I have rebooted the phone several times.
switched from dalvik and ART.
I have paired and Unpaired.
Tried every setting I can think of.
The Bluetooth headphones are Motorola S11 HD
They work fine on my computer, tablet, G2, note 3
any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

I use mine everyday to stream music via bluetooth. Are you sure the media option under the bluetooth connection is enabled? What are you connecting to?
Similar issue
I too own a Verizon LG G3 that I purchased recently. I also have a pair of LG Tone Ultras that I am having trouble with. I mainly use them for music and the occasional call. I've found that when I turned off phone audio under Settings > Bluetooth, I'm able to listen to music, which is nice, but the control buttons on the Bluetooth headset don't work, which is a mediocre workaround. Since I've tried a hard reset with no luck, I'll be contacting lg because at the very least, their own peripheral should work with their phone.

my device is rooted. i did a factory reset but the problem remains unfixed. please help.
Bump same issue here
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Didn't have any issues until a couple days ago, then the phone stopped playing music through bluetooth. Phone is set to allow media through blutooth for my car connection, my cat says the phone is connected as a phone and as an audio device. I dunno what went wrong. Occasionally I am able to get it to work again by resetting, but it stops working again after a while.
I've noticed this same behavior.
I found that if I go into the Bluetooth settings I can uncheck the "media" option for the device, then check it again, and it will work until the next time I connect. Not a graceful solution by any means, but it keeps me listening until something more useful comes up.

Simple Solution for Me, LG G3 Audio Streaming
Well I had this problem. I could make calls and they worked fine, voice and sound.
I could not get streaming media to play but I could see that the songs were registering on my car display.
I tried everything, the settings on the phone, re-pairing. etc. Nothing worked.
I just found out that it was a more simple problem. Somehow the bluetooth volume got turned down and all I did was turn it up while testing the problem on another car stereo. Maybe it'll work for you, just turn up the volume while attempting to stream music to your stereo on your LG G3. There are various volume settings on the phone for different things. I have no idea how the volume could have been turned down, that low. It takes holding it a few seconds of holding for the volume to go back up. I have not adjusted the volume on the phone in some time....so maybe it is bug, dunno. Maybe its just an easy accidental thing, turning down the volume. I never adjust the volume on the phone with the back buttons, too hard to get to. That is how I turned up the volume in this case, back button on the LG G3
This is not the solution I read about where you can call someone, turn up the volume then the media stream works. I guess these could be related but not what I did.
Same problem (not fixed)
I've got the same problem with my lg g3 and mpow Thor headphones, I need quick help please
It must be the phone cause it has the same problems with a JBL charge 3
yeah, same issue here. Bluetooth connects for call audio only. Running Marshmello 6.0.1

Everything works fine here, so it's not a general phone issue.
Does it properly recognise the bluetooth device as headphones/speakers?
Also I see a lot of you talk about car bluetooth. There are a lot of cars that don't actually support streaming media over Bluetooth (just voice calls since they are much lower quality).
There was a thread on the main XDA page a few says ago.
Hi Engmia,
When I initially get into the vehicle the car does recognize the device with headphones/mic symbol however if I go into my bluetooth settings and look at the profiles that are connected, only the "Call audio" profile is available. If I unpair the device and restart my phone, then re-pair the device it will eventually connect and using "call audio" and "media audio" profiles. I believe this is a Marshmellow issue as it's happening in both of my cars.
Thanks,
Aakash

Hello,
If you car actually has A2DP (the Bluetooth media standard for streaming media over bluetooth) which is supported by having the option enabled when reconnecting then it's a bug either in the car protocols or the phone software.
I can't help further unfortunately but recommend you to use the current workaround you've found and submit a proper bug report.
I think the rebooting of phone is an unnecessary step, try just unpairing the device or even better, just resetting the connection to see if it will work and save some time.
You can also try updating to 7.1.1, to see if the issue is resolved there.
Personally I've never experienced issues on neither 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 with my bluetooth headphones. In dact I was always pleasently surprises by how well the pairing worked.
Thanks for the reply engmia. I know both vehicles support A2DP, and I do not have issues with a different device. Are the 7.1.1 roms all AOSP? Would they be okay to use as a daily driver?
Thanks!

Yeah, you are looking for a custom AOSP rom for 7.0 since LG isn't planning to release the update.
It's absolutely lovely for a daily driver, works great and is quite good stability wise. Sometimes a new weekly (LineageOS) will have an unexpected bug, but that's why you just keep the previous version or a backup to keep everything running smoothly.
Going back to stock would be a pain for me at this point, both function and performance wise. I don't think you'll be missing anything from the stock rom, and most importantly, double tap to wake works.
problem seems to be syncing to multiple devices
Ran into this problem this morning.. I have an LG HBS900 headset paired to my LG G3 and my PC.. It looks like the PC's bluetooth set it up as a media device and the phone would only connect it for voice calls, no options for media showed up in the bluetooth settings on the phone..
To fix the problem:
I paired the headset to my PC and and then unpaired it and shut off bluetooth on my PC.
I also unpaired the headset from my phone, cleared the caches and rebooted.
After reboot I paired the headset to the phone and media options were available again..
Hope this helps
Just had this happen to me now ... Couple of restarts, syncing my headphones to a computer and back to my phone fixed it for some reason.
Same issue with the LG V20 Smartphone
SmartPhone: LG V20
Service Provider: AT&T
Android 7.0 (not rooted)
Kernel 3.18.31
Bluetooth Headset model: LG HBS730
Pairing is not a problem. It pairs quickly and connects both phone and media controls, however the media controls do not work. The buttons themselves are connected and working because when I press and hold any of the media buttons, I'll hear a quick double-beep. The buttons that do not work are the "play/pause" toggle, the "play next" and "play previous" buttons. The buttons that do work are the "volume up/down", the "answer/hangup" buttons.
I've tried some of the previously mentioned suggestions, like disable then re-enable controls and pretty much have done that will all the media controls in settings and within the applications.
The LG HBS730 worked perfectly for over a year with my previous phone, the Samsung G5 Active and works perfectly with my 2 Android tablets. The headset works fine.
The LG V20 bluetooth media controls also fail in the identical ways when the phone is connected to my Toyota Highlander's Bluetooth. The phone answers and hangs up properly, but the music will not pause or play until I hit the button on the phone. The controls do not function from the Highlanders audio controls on my console. This is also true with my Honda Link Bluetooth. Same exact symptoms. I have to use the phone to control the audio.
I have logging enabled on my phone if anyone knows how to get the logs off this LG, I would be happy to donate them to the cause of getting this fixed.

Sorry logs don't help me since I'm not a developer. I don't experience any issues on my d855 running LineageOS 7.1.1 and AKG Y45BT headset.
Pairing, controls, music playback all work perfectly fine.
I suggest you try contacting LG if the headset's controls are working on other devices.
I have a Verizon G3 but figure this forum gets more eyeballs, and perhaps this is a universal Bluetooth issue.
I use the LG Tone+ HBS-730 headset with my phone. If I go into a music app and start playing music through my headphones with the app, no problem. But, let's say I pause music for a while, or turn the headphones off for a bit. I turn the headphones back on, press the play button on the right side, and nothing happens. The headset is still on - I can long-press a button and get the double-beep, but my music won't play. Sometimes it does, but most of the time, it doesn't. I switched from the stock Music player to Rocket Player, which has proven to be a little more successful.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, or is this a common BT occurrence? Control is through the AVRCP BT profile, I believe. I know on my G2 I'd sometimes lose control sync with my phone, where I couldn't skip or pause the track through my headphones. This new problem seems like a magnification of that problem.
Overall, I do find the BT performance a little worse than the G2. I get more audio drops when the phone is in my pocket, but this is when I'm outside and BT is not great outside in general.
Thanks everyone - I have five days to decide if I want to return this phone, between this and some signal problems.
bluetooth connects. calls ok. media plays on device.

Also interested in this, as I have the same issue but my car.
Op, did you ever find a fix, or work around?
OP
Do you have any other BT programs loaded? I had something similar when I had the Sony app and a Garmin app loaded. Both use BT to connect to their devices and they were interfering. I removed the Garmin one and my play/pause button started working again
Alan
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

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.

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.
