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.
Hi, I just recently acquired the Mi6 after 2 years with an iPhone and I'm just glad I went back to Android. But after trying the ROM that the phone came with and Xiaomi.eu ROM I can't control the volume of bluetooth devices like iPhones do. After a short search on google it seems it has to do with the AD2P bluetooth protocol and I can't seem to find a solution. I have come across several apps that set the volume level, like profiles for any given bluetooth device but it's not what I need, the thing is if I want to change the volume I would need to set the full volume on speaker everytime I use it, which is kind of annoying. I tried disbaling the "Absolute Volume" option in the Developer Setting on both ROMs but neither worked. So I came here looking for suggestions.
apparently we are the only 2 people on earth who care about this. unfortunately i have no answer for you and am still struggling with this on my s7edge. i do find it funny that there are far more threads about people having issues DISABLING absoulte volume control when it's already not working and is disabled lol.
I've been trying to find a solution for about 3 years now without any success on the MIUI ROM. Other custom ROMs do not have this issue and the media and Bluetooth volume is linked. So I guess the only solution right now is a custom ROM.
Connect, change device name to start with ABS-DO-ENABLE, don't play anything, reboot everything, connect, done
So for the last 2 days, when connected via Bluetooth to my 2018 ford f150 with latest Sync 3, my s9 keeps dropping the Bluetooth connection to the truck and reconnecting.
I get a message on the dash saying that it is reconnecting to the phone, and on the phone, I get a warning that "maximum volume could damage ears"
The phone defaults to max volume when connected via Bluetooth.
I saw in a samsung Tech forum thread someone said to disable volume syncing within the phones Bluetooth settings, but mine is already off saying the connected device doesn't support it.
Anyone have any similar issues ?
Phone is an international version with the Exonys chipset and was purchased on Sunday.
I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra that's constantly having issues with Bluetooth with my S9 Exynos as well. Funny thing is, it seems to only disconnect/reconnect whenever nothing is playing through Bluetooth streaming audio. If I have music playing, no disconnects whatsoever. If I pause the music, it'll eventually disconnect. One of my friends with a 2014 Ford Fiesta has the same problem, and his S9 is a Snapdragon variant.
I'm thinking it's a bug with Samsung's ROM.
There are a few Bluetooth options you can change in Developer Options
If you don't know how to enable it:
Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap on "Build Number" a few times until it says "You are now a developer"
Go back to main settings screen > developer options should be available at the bottom
I did some more testing and I have a suspicion that it's something to do with the volume warning. The volume iis maxed out by default and can't be turned down while connected to the sync3 system.

Did you disable the "Absolute volume" in Dev options?

MY phone is constantly connected to my Ford Sync and I've never gotten that warning, but I never have my media volume maxed. If you reduce the volume before syncing, does it still drop the connection? After reading again I see that you said max volume is enabled by default and I guess I never noticed that, but I still haven't seen mine disconnect.
I am having this issue in my 2016 F150 with the latest SYNC 3. Did anyone find a solution?

youll find that when problems are discussed and possible solutions offered by folks like detection here that threads often go cold as the solution offered often worked and the person who got their answer doesnt come back and report it. Not saying that this is what happened here, but its possible. Go into developer options and disable the absolute volume warning. I always disable that anyways because i like my music loud, i know the dangers and i dont need my phone telling me how loud to listen to music lol i mean, who the hell does my phone think it is anyways??? (kidding on that last part, of course)
Hi all,
I'm kind of hoping someone has run into this issue and might be able to offer assistance. When I first got my LG G8, I was able to pair it to the Ford SYNC on the first try. The only problem is that the volume control was terrible. When the phone was at full volume I could barely hear it through the car speakers. I had to push it up to 20 to get decent sound, where with my previous phone, the max required was 14. When I tried searching for a solution online, the suggestion was to un-pair the SYNC from my phone and then re-pair it again. The problem is that now the phone doesn't see SYNC at all - I only come up with a bunch of Misc connections, and not a single one of them are for my car. If anyone has experience or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.

I had a similar problem with my new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The solution was to remove the phone from the Bluetooth listing on the car.. Then turn off the entertainment system by shutting off the ignition and opening the door. Reboot the phone. Then try again.
Yes, the Bluetooth connection does not seem to offer as powerful an audio signal, as does a direct hookup. In my Chrysler unit I found a menu option to boost the BT audio volume. Don't know if Ford has that. If your car supports "Android Auto" or "Apple Carplay" , the better option is to load the appropriate app on your phone and use that system.
