Hey guys,
So okay, I am having an issue and have not been abe to solve it for a week now. Allow me to start...
I have the sony MDR-1RBT headphones. I've had them since last February and have used them without any problems. Connection, set up, and usage has always been a breeze. Until recently.
I started my day and connected my headphones like usual and it said they were connected. Cool. Went to play music and it played through my phone. Not sure why. Tried to make a call, audio went through bluetooth device. So they say they are connected and playing through the bluetooth device but is clearly is not.
Things I have tried to fix it:
power cycling phone and headphones
disconnecting and reconnecting bluetooth connection
gone into device settings and made sure media was checked for my bluetooth device
researched through the internet
followed what the person on this link suggested: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...r-playing-note-2-music-but-does-do-calls.html
The last step, when I tried it it connected! Yay! Then I turned the headphones and bluetooth off and went to turn em on again and it went back to not working. Tried the same method and it didnt work.
I am running on an LG G2 Rooted but not ROM'd. I know the issue is not with my headphones because I tried to connect the device to my Jawbone Jambox and it did not work on that either. I am not sure why it is not working.
I consider myself pretty tech-savvy and I am pretty upset that I haven't been able to figure it out. Let me know what you guys think.
When you go to your phone bluetooth setting with a list of paired devices, do you see 1RBT listed in there as "connected to phone and media audio"? This is very important because it sounds like it's only connected to phone but not media audio.
Do you have any other bt devices you paired up with your phone? Like wireless speaker or another set of headphones? Quite often if you have a few with power, there will be a race condition which one gets connected as media. But since you said music was playing through your phone speaker, I assume there is not conflict with another device. But nevertheless, just delete all your previously paired up devices in Bluetooth list to make sure there is no conflict. Remove 1RBT as well. After you remove everything, reboot the phone, and do a fresh pair up with 1RBT. See if that helps?
Also, try to pair up these headphones with another device, either phone or a tablet to make sure there is no issues with bluetooth radio on your phone. If you have access to another bluetooth device, try to pair it up with your phone to make sure everything is working as expected.
Let me know the results, and we will go from there.

my device is rooted. i did a factory reset but the problem remains unfixed. please help. i have installed g3 tweaksbox but i dont see any mods that is related to music apps. i dont know what to do. i have considered unrooting and flashing stock rom.
I was having the same problem until I realized the volume on my jawbone itself was turned down.
Vectron's Suggestion Worked For My Bluetooth Headphones
I was heaving the same issue as the OP all morning. My Beats66 Bluetooth headphones were working just fine since I got my Alcatel Idol 4, with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) phone through wireless provider CricKet, just 2 days ago. I primarily purchased the headphones for placing phone calls, just because most Bluetooth headsets I have purchased, and Android phones in general, are too low volume for my impaired hearing to make out. However, I do listen to music on them as well.
This morning as I am exiting a taxi, I hear music coming from my backpack. Somehow, something launched one of my music apps, probably the buttons and screen were activated while items in the backpack pressed against them. The settings said Media and Phone were connected to Beats66, and the phone did come through the headphones only, but the music would only play on the phone's external speakers.
I found this thread from a Google search, and Vector's post was helpful for me. I went to Bluetooth settings and highlighted Beats 66 headphones, then selected "Forget." I rebooted the phone, paired the headphones, and all my music apps play through the headphones now. Lets see how long it lasts right? Since this is a brand new out of the box phone, I did install numerous Apps, all of which want user authentication, permissions, and countless settings and permissions to interact with other Apps and phone hardware. Hopefully with everything getting set up the way I like my phone, (I'm particular about everything, or I just find the phone annoying rather than a tool), I won't make anymore changes that will alter the operating status of the headphones.
Thank you
I am experiencing the exact same issue on my LG G3 with my Skull Candy Wireless headphones. The headphones pair and phone audio works, but Pandora, Google Music and any other streaming audio app plays over the phone speaker. I noticed that I received a Carrier OTA software update on Jan 17, 2017 and am wondering if that is when it may have charged. The only way to resolve it so far has been to clear the BT cache. This is temporary fix as when you attempt to pair again it is back to only phone audio and no music audio.
My headset is not working with music until you turn off the phone audio just to play music. My phone is Lenovo A2010-a and my headset is Nia X2. Please help

Ever get this resolved? Still having this issue and so far only fix for me has been using Ti Backup to nuke all the bluetooth data, rebooting and then it'll connect fine. I also have Skullcandy BT headphones. Trying my car's BT too to no avail. Same problem. I think this is the same issue: https: //forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/bluetooth-calls-media-audio-t2837471/page4
I ended up buying an Amazon Moto G4 as it is slated to get Android 7.0. I honestly believe it had something to do with the last security update LG pushed out. Since the G3 is not updating I will attempt to root and rom at some point though recent search seem to show the LG G3 can't be rooted.

I rooted mine fine with Kingroot. Get Kingroot, root, install twrp and flash supersu then delete Kingroot. Worked for me at least.
As far as this BT bug with the G3 I don't have anything better than the data wipe workaround so far, so good luck with the Moto.
Thanks guys. I also had the same problem but i restarted my phone and my music is just playing. Yah!!!!!!!!!!
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

Tried every setting I can think of.
The Bluetooth headphones are Motorola S11 HD

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
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.
Hi all,
Hope you can help me..
I've been having issues with BT headset(s) since my Honor 7x was upgraded to Oreo BND-L21 8.0.0.330(C432).
The behavior is the following..
I pair the BT headset with 7X and everything goes smoothly. When i check info section on the paired device i see that both, phone and media audio are enabled. If i play the music - everything is OK.
The issue starts when I trigger a call via 3rd party app like Whatsapp, Viber, Hangouts etc..
What happens is that the other person can hear me but I can hear them. It seems like the communication is going only one way.
If in the middle of the call i switch to phone microphone (inside app) - everything goes back to normal.
I tried with two different BT headsets and behavior is the same (both headsets work properly on another phone).One other thing to mention is that all these apps also work properly with a wired headset.
So far i tried to disable Volte, disable Wifi and perform calls via mobile network, wipe cache partition, clear data/cache for BT app, enable/disable google assistant, change permission, unpaired all devices.. But so far nothing worked...
The only thing that is left is to perform a hard reset but I would really leave this as a last resort.
Has anyone had this issue ?
Thanks!!
Having the same issue with my anker soundbuds flow headset.

Don´t bother with the hard reset, it won´t help.
In fact i´ve even replaced the phone, and on the new phone the story was the same: After the upgrade to 8.0, when a phonecall is made via App (Skype or Whatsapp) there is no sound in the BLuetooth headset, while microphone works perfectly. However is a normal phonecall is made, the headset works two ways.
The problem is reproducible on my several headsets (LG HBS-730 that uses BT 3.0 and Anker SoundBuds Life that use 4.1). The anker soundbuds flow, that were mentioned above, are also BT v4.1. Nevertheless, if i connect my Anker Soundcore 2 speaker (that uses BT v4.2) the two way communication works perfectly. Also it works on my EasyAcc speaker BT075 (BT v4.0) and Taotronics TT-BH12 headset (also BTv4.0).
So I´d assume that the update was tested only on 4.0 and 4.2 BT devices, but not on older or 4.1
So as for the solutions, i hope this problem will be addressed in the next update (hopefully soon) or consider trying the headset with BT 4.2 or later.
Update: It also does not work on speaker Aukey SK-M8 (which also reports to have BTv4.0) - strange. Maybe it is not really 4.0 or my theory with BT versions is wrong.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
In the meantime i did some more testing with both bluetooth headsets and managed to get one working.
The headset i managed to "fix" is Plantronics voyager legend.
What i did was: downloaded "plantronics hub" app and in the settings I disabled "HD sound". By doing that everything started working correctly.
The only downside is the sound quality - it is so bad that I just decided to use a wired headset.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update :crying:

Those are Bluetooth v3.0 headset. Obviously the problem is with the applied profiles.
I think it would be nice to report this problem to Huawei/Honor. I really don't know whether they check this forum, more reports they get - more chances of a fix.

This morning I received an update to 331 - BND-L21 8.0.0.331 (C432).
I retested all of my BT headsets (including moving Plantronics back to "HD audio") and - everything works like a charm !!!
In the release doc it states that this update contains only a July 2018 google security patch but i guess they also fixed the BT issue.
Anyhow, I am happy again !
Cheers!
So, somewhere in May I received the automatic update to Oreo 8.0. Hurray! Sadly though, that's when my bluetooth problems started:
It connects to my car, as normal. And I can make and receive calls, as always. But during the call my bluetooth connection with my car would just drop. If the person on the other end of the line is patient enough, I can just reconnect while driving and continue. But it will drop once each minute. It's very frustrating. This worked flawlessly before the update.
Funny thing is there are no issues at all when playing music of a portable speaker. I can even play spotify through my car's speakers without problems. The problem only presents itself during calls on the carkit. To make sure it's not the car, I tried some other phones. My wife's samsung, also with 8.0, worked perfectly. So does my daughters Iphone with IOS. My car is a Volvo C30 from 2012. It has built-in phone connectivity.
What I tried:
- Unpairing and pairing again.
- Hard reset. In combination with re-pairing.
- Using the developer options to use Bluetooth AVRCP 1.4. In combination with unpairing and re-pairing.
- Using the developer options to use Bluetooth AVRCP 1.5. In combination with unpairing and re-pairing.
- Disabling automatic bluetooth/wifi scanning in the location settings.
- It even went to the repair center for a different issue (unresponsive touch-screen) and the repair notes stated that they also installed the newest software. So I had hopes that this would resolve my carkit issue, but it didn't.
Do you guys know any more tricks for me to try?
I have an XA1 ultra with Oreo 8 as well (build 48.1.A.2.21) and I'm experiencing the same problems, but adding that mine disconnects also when streaming music. Other problem I'm experiencing after the Oreo update is that,when using my watch (LG G Watch R) paired with the phone, the sound streaming is just crap, with lots of jumps and bad audio quality. This is so frustrating that I'm seriously considering buying a new phone ( not from Sony, of course)
:crying:
Anyone?
Hi all...need some help with Bluetooth issues on my pixel 2 XL. I updated to the official Android pie today and noticed that my jbl Bluetooth earphones are having issues with calls. I cannot hear anything thing from the other side and the person on the other side can only hear some weird distortion. However I tried playing music on it and it works fine. Issue is only with calls. Anyone else facing this? I tried unpairing and pairing it again, restarted the phone, tried safe mode too but no luck.
Also I had sound echo issues with wired earphones (connected through dongle) on Oreo so I bought the jbl Bluetooth earphones and the echo was gone...and now after updating to Android pie my Bluetooth earphones don't work
Please help!

I have no issues wtih LG HBS730 BT headphones on calls or music with Pie. I've had four calls total, incoming and outgoing. I listened to music for about five hours too, no glitches.
I've had issues with the anker brand ones.
I have the same issue
Having issues connectingy to my car Bluetooth which has always worked before updating. Also experiencing WiFi drops.
Edit: went to stock Pie unrooted, and not as many wifi disconnects but my phone doesn't even see my car's Bluetooth connection . Fitbit connects just fine though. Weird..
Android Bluetooth is flakey as hell. Everyone gets a turn with incompatibility. P fixed my car with the first Dev preview. On O it was crud. There is a massive ongoing thread about it.

I had the same issue on my pixel XL on dp4 and dp5. Bluetooth worked fine for music but only crackled a little bit for phone calls. Both headsets and car were affected. Troubleshot it with Google rep and they told me my phone was broken. I also had multiple sensors stop working so auto brightness was broken and auto rotate was also broken (And a few other features like tap to wake screen). I ended up buying a pixel 2 xl and sending the other to Google as a trade in yesterday. Now I'm wondering if it wasn't just the software. I actually reset the phone and everything worked for a day or so before it failed again. I then exited the beta and everything worked on 8.1 Oreo for about a day before it all broke again. At that point I concluded it must be the phone. Hopefully the software didn't burn something up. I'm going to be ticked if this phone starts giving me trouble.
Are there any troubleshooting steps I can follow to see if solves the issue? Because it only happens on calls but music seems to be fine.
You can try rebooting in safe mode (long press the power off icon when you press the power button). I will restart with only minimal apps to see if it's being caused by a non Google app.

I tried this on my device but even in safe mode i faced the same issue
Ever since upgrading to PIE, I can no longer connect my my pioneer appradio head unit.
Phone works, but media Spotify or Pandora does not
Having the same issue, also, my "disable absolute volume" in developer settings doesn't work. I guess this is what to expect for early adopters.
I have had no issues with connectivity to my bluetooth headphones or to my car's bluetooth
However I have noticed that twice when I had phone call before entering the car and I connect to the car's bluetooth and the call is transferred to the car's audio, I get disconnected for a couple of seconds (after initially connecting correctly) and then it automatically reconnects and call continues normally ..
Android pie broke bluetooth for calls

Stock Pixel XL: All bluetooth devices worked for all purposes on Oreo. After updating to Pie none of my bluetooth headsets will connect for phone calls. Bluetooth music broadcasting to speakers is unaffected. I'm going to call them about it tomorrow.

Are you having any other issues. My original pixel XL had the same issue show up on the beta but it also affected some of my other sensors as noted in previous post. I now have a pixel 2 xl with no issues whatsoever.

Well, they seem to think that the problem is an app from the play store that doesn't play nice with Pie. Frustratingly, the problem corrects itself sometimes (but not all the time) after a reboot. They had me reboot into safe mode and this time it worked. After 20 minutes our support call was over. 30 minutes later one of my three headsets (with the oldest bluetooth version) didn't work, but two of the three did.
The tech (Jen, who was super nice but sounded like she was overseas and had to repeat herself a few times for clarity) said they only have 2 support options for this issue: 1) boot into safe mode and blame one of the apps from the play store or 2) FACTORY RESET THE PHONE! Once I explained that the phone was my google authenticator she suggested that to further troubleshoot I should turn off two factor for my google account (Ummm, no thanks. And that is why you should always PRINT OUT the QR code and put it in a fire-proof box in case you need to recover it)
I'll post back if it breaks again, but right now at least I can live with it.
Only "issue" for me is my wife's ILX doesn't seem to update the music information anymore. With the betas it did for a fee songs then seemed to stop. Now it's nothing at all but will double check today since I only drive it on occasion. Other than that, playback on our cars, Bluetooth speakers and headphones has been just fine. Love that it remembers the volume set per each device. No super low or super loud volumes on the start of playback.

I also have Bluetooth issues with Pie when connecting to my car (2017 Audi A4 with MMI+) I never use Android Auto by the way:
- Music playback is flaky: I have to start Play Music before connecting to the car, otherwise it cannot stream anything. Sometimes even this doesn't work and I have to repair again. This sucks, you always have to spend some time to check if everything works!
- My Radar trap warning app blitzer.de only works when streaming Audio from the phone to the car, even though I set Audio to HFP. With Oreo, the app started a phone call, it looked exactly like an incoming call. Now it only adds the warning to the phone's Audio Stream, so when listening to radio or streaming from a HDD I get no warnings.
- Phone calls work flawlessly, though
Try removing or 'forgetting' paired device and add it back again. It worked with my AirPods.
