Question Recent Bluetooth strangeness - OnePlus 9 Pro

Helloe
As of recently, something weird is happening with my Bluetooth connection with my car's audio.
After connecting, I try to play music but I cannot hear it in the car despite turning up rhe volume on the car and phone.
A setting within the BT's advanced settings is greyed out, and I ask if that is the culprit. See pic.
If so, how do I change that?
It worked fine 2 weeks ago.
My daughter's phone plays fine, so BT works fine in the car's audio.
Thank you

Problem with Windows Mobile and Bluetooth Headset Playing Audio

Hello guys,
I just got a Sony bluetooth headset and I am trying to use it with my HTC TYTN II. At first I paired the phone and the headset and I was able to listen to music and talk through the headset, all perfect. When I was listening to music, the bluetooth icon on my phone represented a music note and a headset over it.
When I turn the headset off once and then on again, it connects automatically with the phone but in some other mode. The bluetooth icon now represents the bluetooth sign with a headset over it. Now when I listen to some music, it comes from the speaker of the phone, not from the bluetooth headset. Talking through it is not a problem.
If I pair the phone and the headset again, it works just fine (showing again the music note) but once I turn the headset off and on again, I lose the music mode.
Does anyone know how to fix that? Thanks in advance.
I fixed the issue by installing AutoA2DP (found in this forum).
I've had a similar problem on my Tilt. I originally posted the following on the ROM thread. Since then, I have found that the AutoA2DP has not fixed the problem. I still have this issue about 70% of the time, and sometimes I can't get the bluetooth to work at all, not even after a soft reset. Sometimes it seems as if the bluetooth has no power, the phone can't communicate with the headset except when within a few inches of one another. Then it magically seems to resolve itself. Anyway here's my original post from the ROM thread.
The other day I installed an app on my phone called Schaps Network Plugin, which allows you to map network drives to the phone the same way you can do with a desktop. It allows me to access the home network directly via my wifi. It was something I needed and it seemed to work great, for a day. The next day my bluetooth headset would not connect. Long story only slightly shorter, it seems the problem was with the headset connecting via A2DP and doing so automatically. This always worked just fine in the past. Suddenly it wouldn't work. I tried a ton of things including a "fresh" install of everything and formatting my memory card to start with nothing on it. I flashed the original rom and then flashed this rom. I did hard resets each time. Did this twice. Even tried the bluetooth in the oem rom to see if I still got the problem. I did, and it is still with me. I can manually get the headset to connect via A2DP using the bluetooth settings, though even then it may take reconnecting several times to get it to work. However, when I turn the headset off and then on again, the A2DP does not reconnect, just the hands free. But the sound is not routed through the phone's speaker either, at that point. In fact you often get no sound at all, nothing via the headset or the speaker. OTOH, if you activate Voice Command, the headset does work while Voice command is running. After it shuts off, you are back to no sound. It seems as if the hands free works fine, but the audio gets partly routed to A2DP but does not connect to the headset. If I reset the phone, the headset connects correctly and efverything works until I turn the headset off again. Also if I pair the headset again, everything works correctly until I turn the headset off. Though pairing is not as trouble free as it used to be either. Sometimes it will not pair up wihtout repeated attempts. I did find this program, AutoA2DP which has patched the problem. It detects when a paired bluetooth device connects, and forces a connection via A2DP as well. But I never had this issue in the past, and my wife's phone still has no problem. I am not sure the Schaps Network plugin had anything to do with it, other than the timing. Seems odd to me that the bluetooth stack would suddenly develop issues that persist even after two fresh flashes of the rom. Any ideas, suggesitons, etc.? This is really bugging me, and although the patch seems to be working, the phone is still not acting "right." In the past, and on my wife's phone, if a bluetooth headset is turned on, it automatically connects, and all sounds, including the system sounds, are routed through the headset. Now, sometimes they are, and sometimes they aren't.

no sound after bluetooth unpairing

Hi, I have been searching and can't seem to find anything on this. My wife's and my epics pair, and work, great with with our car stereos (clarion). but, when we get out of the car, and the phone unpairs, we have no more system sounds. we miss calls and texts because we never hear them. the sounds now only come out the ear piece. Only a reset corrects it and then we hear sounds from specker again. Of coarse until we get in the car, and it all starts over again.
any ideas? I'm stumped.
thanks!
have you tried turning bluetooth off entirely when u leave the car?
also are you using any applications to send media with bluetooth such as BTmono?
I have the same problem -- as does my wife. I'm using a Motorola BT in the car, but it seems to be a problem with any BT connection as she primarily connects to our BT phone connection in the house. I saw this problem mentioned in a couple other threads, but no real solutions other than things like turning off BT on the phone before disconnecting, etc. Frankly, that's a hassle and I never remember to do it. I was hoping the latest version of Syndicate ROM might fix it, but just had it happen again this morning. So, I can confirm it's a problem on both Froyo stock and Syndicate ROMS. At least it seems like rebooting is a bit faster on Syndicate, so that's my solution for now as soon as I realize sounds aren't coming through. Just gotta remember to check before I miss a call!

thanks for the replies. I am not using anything that starts to stream to the car stereo. Music player use to, but I removed it. I did notice today that the specker sound loss only happens if i make/receive a call. Today I drove to store and while in store away from car sound was fine. got back to car, called wife, and then when I was at home sound was gone. I will try to toggle off BT before phone is unpaired. what a pain.
Wouldn't ya know I found a thread about this after I post this.

This post has worked for me: thanks mattallica76. I had to be in car paired to do this.

This problem is a bug that exists while using Bluetooth on a device for both ad2p and phone calls. The only workaround (until Sammy or one of our great devs comes up with a fix) is to use the BT device for one or the other. This will prevent the audio from being routed to the phones earpiece after BT disconnects. To do this, go into the phones BT settings. Then long press the device that you are having trouble with. Next uncheck "Media Audio" or "Phone Audio", depending on which purpose you want for the device.

[Q] Car Bluetooth Audio Problem

I have a LG Nitro HD running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.5. The bluetooth phone part works as I can make and receive calls with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010), but the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
It's been about a month and still no solution. Has anyone else come across this problem?
I do not have this problem. I have a Pioneer X930BT headunit in my car and my Nitro streams audio over bluetooth (A2DP) to it perfectly as well as phone calls.
Have you tried streaming Sirius or spotify over bluetooth? I found that the only app on the phone that streams audio to my car correctly is the pre-installed audio app that comes with the phone.
I can confirm google music and napster stream great over bluetooth. I have not used spotify or sirius for android.
Are you sure your car supports audio profile?
I stream spotify, tunein radio every day through bluetooth.
Spotify actually pauses when bluetooth connection is lost which is great for getting out of the car. I wish TuneIn would do it.

I have had the same problem with my nitro, it will automatically connect the phone but the media (A2DP) seems to drop automatically after connection. I've found if I manually re-connect to the receiver both will stay connected.
(settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth settings > *tap device name*)
I, like you, use it every time I'm in the car so it's annoying but it's a fix until there is a valid solution like a update or properly built rom.
In your case I would delete all the phone profiles from the car memory and re pair them. A lot of cars have a seperate a2dp profile for streaming music and if you pair them seperately the car stereo thinks that it needs to be paired only with the cell phone while the phone says that is paired with phone and audio.
It is not a LG Nitro 4g issue. Updates/firmware would not fix it.

That seems to be your problem JoTomlin and Kaiser. Before I installed my new headunit in my subaru I had tons of issues with my captivate playing music over bluetooth because the car had seperate profiles for A2DP and handsfree. When I got my new headunit which has a single profile containing both A2DP and handsfree it all worked without headache on the captivate and now the nitro. This is a problem with your car stereo. If its anything like my subarus, it would prefer to connect to handsfree and it would have to physically disconnect handsfree to connect A2DP (I would have to manually connect via the bluetooth menu). I solved it by getting a tunelink bluetooth audio receiver so handsfree would connect to the stereo and to the tunelink at the same time. Eventually I got tired of that and bought a new headunit.
Apparently a lot of people have swapped out their factory Kizashi factory head units for something better. But again, you'll want to bug Suzuki about something like this.
FWIW, I can stream Pandora just fine over a VW headunit with factory bluetooth. I do have to sometimes to a reconnect/pair though.
Has anyone figured out this issue? I stopped using my Nitro for about 5 months and then just recently updated it with 4.0.4, but still have the audio issue. My Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have this issue. It's frustrating because I really like the Nitro. The Bluetooth audio is a huge issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Did you factory reset after updating?

Pixel XL Car Bluetooth Calls Static/Noise

I've been having issues with bad static/noise in voice calls when connected to my car's Bluetooth. Music streaming over Bluetooth is fine, however. Does anyone else experience this issue. I used to have an S6 paired to my car and it was perfect for both voice calls and music.
My audio for like music is fine but tried making a car handsfree the other day for the first time and couldn't hear the other person who said they didn't hear me either. I had to click on the dialer app to switch out it to phone speaker and then back to Bluetooth then it worked.
It's been like this since I first got the phone...it's almost unusable for phone calls in the car. I wonder if this is a software or hardware defect and if it will be corrected in a future update. I don't want to have to RMA this phone if I don't have to.
I'll try your workaround, acheney...thanks for the tip
Pixel XL connects via Bluetooth to both of my cars without problems. And call audio is fine both ways.
I have had zero issues with music streaming or phone calls. 2014 Infiniti q50
I'm having this issue too. Music and video play fine, but when someone calls i can hardly understand what they are saying due the static. Was hoping the update would fix the issue. I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Same issue. Audio over BT is fine. GPS navigation over audio was playing up, but now appears to be ok. The moment I call someone (or they call me) the call is all garbled and I have to switch to speakerphone.
My Bluetooth earpiece however works fine. Not sure if headunit issue or phone bt stack.
i have this same issue. so annoying. so far there's no solution?

None that i have found. Flashed AptX codec and still have same issue. Don't think it is hardware because the phone works fine when paired with other Bluetooth items like speakers, headphones, my watch, and other car stereos. Just doesn't like my factory pioneer unit in my Tc for some reason.
Audio issues for me have always been carrier issues.
Redialing the number usually fixed the call
I ended up finding if I mounted my phone far away from the head unit (near the door/drivers window for example) and tilted the phone in a weird way, the calls were fine.
I don't quite understand it, but seems like there is interference from the head unit when using BT to make calls, which for some reason isn't a problem when you play music (or GPS navigation is on).
Either the Pixel needs better shielding or there's something borked with the Bluetooth chipset.
I would like to use wireless headphones, but the in-channel headphones with a large battery and with good sound have not yet been invented
Yes!
I've only made a few calls over my cars bluetooth, but yesterday I ran into this:
Conversation was fine for several minutes, and then every word the other person said came through as static. When they paused between words or stopped talking, it was quiet. But as soon as they said a word again, it was static.
I toggled the call back to handset and it was fine. So I switched back to bluetooth, and it was fine for a minute or two, and then it became static voice again. I switched back and forth again and it was back to normal voice and remained that way.

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
