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.

Bump same issue here

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.
Running a bone stock OP3, non-rooted, no mods, on the Community Build. Since the latest update, my BT audio is weird.
I pair my phone to my motorcycle helmet. Its a Shoei GT Air with a Sena 20S Comm system installed. It's a very nice unit.
So what happens is that when I push the button on the comm to activate Google Now, so that I can speak to my phone and tell it to dial, get directions, play music, etc... No matter what volume level I set my phone to, or the headset, the "beep" and "Ok" that Google Now speaks when you activate it, blows out my eardrums. It is like WAY high volume, 5x as loud as the music or anything else. I have gone through the comm system settings and there is nothing in there to mess with. I also notice that the volume of Google Now only goes that high when the screen of the phone is off. If the screen is on, then the tone is the same level as whatever music is playing, etc...
If I turn the screen off and the music is at a normal listening level and I hit the button to make a call or fast forward to the next some, that damned Google Now tone is back to ear shattering levels...
I am convinced that it isn't the comm system, because a google search shows similar issues with Android phones and BT over the past few years...
Another weird thing, is that when I turn on and pair the comm system and I hit the button to activate Google Now, if I do it 5 or 6 times in a row, it will eventually revert to normal audio levels, the same as the music or navigation... But when I turn off the comm, then the next time I turn it on I have to do it all over again...
Very annoying but I an convinced that it isn't the comm system. It seems to have started last week when the new Open Beta came out and I installed it.
Now, I have unpaired, deleted and repaired the connection, I have wiped cache and stuff, but I can't seem to get this to work right.
Any ideas?
It has to do with how Bluetooth handles its datastream.
Bluetooth has very limited bandwidth, so it has to allocate based on the situation. When streaming music from your phone to the BT device, it can dedicate the entire bandwidth to the unidirectional stream. However, if you need to use the helmet's mic, then BT has to use the same limited bandwidth to stream data in both directions. This is why BT devices have notable audio quality degredation when used to make calls.
When your screen is on, Google Assistant/Now will acutally use your phone's mic to listen for commands rather than your BT's mic, which means that it does not have to change protocols and reduce audio output bandwidth.
To address your issue with Google Assistant/Now's increased volume, try to place a call while your helmet is connected to your phone and reduce the volume while in call with your phone's volume buttons. Hopefully, the volume change will stick when your helmet uses the same two-way protocol when using the voice assistant.
Try:
Developer options -> disable absolute volume
Tried that Developer Option, made no difference. It's clearly something else going on under the hood. Other Android phones have had it over the years when connecting to BT devices... I guess I will have to just live with it.
Hi,
I have a problem with Android Auto that I can't fix.
If I connect my phone to the car (Skoda Octavia with Android Auto support) then it connects fine, I can use apps and everything, navigate, listen to music etc.
What I can't do is use my voice to control it. If I say "OK Google" or press the button in the wheel, then the prompt shows up, but it doesn't hear my voice beyond that point. It simply doesn't react at all. With an older phone it worked, but my 5T completely refused to cooperate.
The app has permissions, it works fine with voice while not connected to the car, butcas soon as it's plugged in, it seems to go deaf.
Any ideas? I've tried some tips I found Online, but so far no success.
Hi Everyone!
I bought a cihnese head unit recently and all is working so far, but the navigation voice is controlled with the system sound settings, so if I turn de wolume down I also turn down the volume of the gps and I can not hear the voice of the lady / gentleman who tells me which way sould I go. I serached a lot, and found some very old (six years) solutions and new ones, but none of them work. I tried to volume up when the gps is speaking, I tried to switch Sygic to bluetooth then turn up the bt volume at the units factory settings. So as far as I know the gps navi sound and my system sound (which controlls the music loudness) is bind together and sadly the gps volume is too low. Maybe I missing something. I think this is an importatn feature, but my headunit does not have that. Can you guys give some new advices? It is an octacore android 8.0 if this matters.
Thank you in advance!
I have the same issue... Like Heptameron, I did not find any solution ! Can anyone help us with some advice?
Thanks !
Nobody ???
Same here, can't separate the two volumes.
Thought I had turned GPS voice up but then blew myself out of the window when I enabled the FM Tuner!
Spent hours on this.
"Latest" Chinese Android 10. head unit and IGO GPS. Not connected to my phone. Want it "simple" for now!
Anybody?
