Question Strange Bluetooth crash on BMW - Google Pixel 6 Pro

This only happens when I'm paired and listening to media audio (like youtube or Spotify) on my BMW f10 2012's Bluetooth connection. While listening to the audio I get a super high-pitched sound for about half a second and then the Bluetooth on my Pixel 6 pro crashes and starts up again. After a minute I can reconnect with my car and continue listening to audio. It can happen once or several times during a driving session. No indication as to what causes it.
Speaking of Bluetooth anomalies I also sometimes get into a situation where my car's "next/previous track" doesn't seem to pass the message to the Pixel to change the track. It chooses when to work. I never had an issue with my previous Samsung Note 9 or S8 phone and my partner has a OnePlus 8 Pro and has no issues. It's definitely Pixel-related. I have no problems with the Bluetooth on the Pixel with any other device (headphones, Windows PC, smart speakers etc)

Try lowering the AVRCP version: head to developer settings and search for AVRCP Version. Default is 1.5, try 1.3 or 1.4 and see if it works. Older headunits may need older versions.

A2DP Blueooth Car Stereo won't reconnect to mobile

A2DP Blueooth Car Stereo won't reconnect to mobile
I have the Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Bluetooth Head Unit in my car, which supports stereo BT music streaming from any A2DP device.
I also have the HTC TyTN II Mobile which supports the same.
I have paired the two devices, and on the initial pairing successfully played music from the HTC through the Pioneer. When that worked, the BT Audio icon appears in the title bar of the mobile (headphones with a musical note in the middle).
However, after switching off the car and later returning, I have 2 issues:
1) It is impossible to reconnect the BT stereo music playback, unless I delete the Pioneer device from the list of BT devices within the mobile phone, then pair them again. Nothing else seems to work. Simply, I just want all music to be routed through the Pioneer whenever it is in range of the mobile.
2) I have set the mobile phone as "Phone 1" in the Pioneer, and have enabled "Auto Connect", yet it does not auto connect. Every time I get in the car I have to manually scroll to Telephone>Function>Connect Phone>Phone 1. You can imagine what a laborious pain that is compared to my previous 5 year old Nokia Bluetooth Car Kit which just auto-connects whenever my mobile is in range.
Are you able to solve either problem?
Im having the same problems with my sony DR-BT10CX and Moto HT820 whenever i turned either devices off. But whenever i turned them back on, i usually uncheck and recheck the headset whenever i want to use A2DP. It's a pain but i never had to re-pair my device with my tilt.
Try unchecking/checking the bluetooth device instead of re-pairing them (although in your case, its a PITA).
Have you tried updating the firmware on the Pioneer (if its possible anyways).
I have an ATT Tilt w/ the my customized HTC rom. But my JVC BT1 never has any problem to reconnect to my phone.
1) I found a program called A2DPToggle which provides an on/off button on the home page to solve this
2) I found I have to leave the phone in 'visible' Bluetooth mode for auto-connect to work. Less secure, but solves the problem
While this may not help, while messing with my Audio linking between my pda and pc , The PC BT adaptor would freeze if I tried to stream an AAC file or a non mp3 file. It would play it for 10-15 seconds then freeze. I imagine not all mp3
s are created equal for BT purposes either.

Issues with bluetooth in car

Hello,
I recently got the P2. Awesome phone, even better battery.
I only have one issue with it. I always listen to music in my car with my phone, but for some reason it always has problems with bluetooth syncing.
When I get in the car, I check the settings and it looks like the phone is paired, but only the phone part (to make calls), but not multimedia. Music will still be playing on my phone speakers. I have to manually try and pair it 2-3 times for it to connect.
My previous phones were the Nexus 6 and Nexus 5X and they would not have problems pairing, they would usually pair within 5 sec of getting into the car and the music would transfer to my car speakers.
Does anybody else have this problem? I'm running the latest standard lenovo ROM, 7.0.

Bluetooth issues

Hi. Wondering if anybody could help. When I connect my oneplus 5T to my car I have problems. When it starts to call it disconnects the bluetooth from the car completely. However the call continues on the phone which is a complete pain as you cant use it through the hands free. Car is a BMW 630CI with pro nav if that helps.
Many Thanks
i first had problems to connect to my audi A3 bluetooth ... it simply didnĀ“t find it
after trying again and changing the bluetooth audio codec it suddenly worked ...
Idk if it will work for you, but you can try changing the codec and se if it helps
Hi. Ive tried all 3. It connects fine and I can see my contacts but as soon as I hit dial it disconnects from the car.
Very strange.
Thanks for the suggestion tho
with mine in my car it every now and then gives me this a crackling sound.. Kind of irritating, I'm hoping a software update down the road fixes this.. I've tried all 3 codecs
Having issues with Bluetooth connection on my Prius Prime as well. It always disconnects, I had to disable Bluetooth on the phone and re-able it for it to work.
I experience the same with my Boss QC35. First connection, audio breaks with lots of noise and had to disable it and re-enable it.
Still found no solution. Hope the next update sorts it out as the bluetooth seems a mess.
So after looking around, there are issues with certain codecs and devices connecting being posted in the OP community forums. My Sony WH1000xm2 headphones stutter when using AptX HD. My JBL Everest 750NC's - if you turn the volume up too high, they disconnect from the phone. In my Cadillac ATS, whenever you place a call it'll stay connected, but you won't hear anything, and the other user can't hear you either.
I think they've acknowledged the issues and are working on them, but after putting Oreo on my Moto G5 Plus and Oreo's ability to change between all codec's on the fly (including native LDAC support!) I'm anxiously awaiting Oreo to be 'officially' released.
I'd say just be patient.. I'm sticking with this phone because I think it'll be worth it in the end. Wish I had better news!
so I resolved my Bluetooth issues by flashing FreedomOS. Now there is no intermittent crackling sound now and there is no issues at all ymmv, this was just my experience.
Thanks. Will wait for Oreo and then try different roms if it continues.
on FreedomOS before, it was giving me headache re-connecting to my Subaru car bluetooth, like after you shutoff engine, go somewhere and come back, unless you manually force connecting to the car, it barely auto reconnect back.
And also takes so long to get data sync from my Fitbit chargeHR to the app.
I don't think this kind of bluetooth issue related to what rom we have but the kernel and more specifically BT firmware.
-----edit-------
My friend also got BT issue when he tried to connect to BT headset. Hope Oneplus get something fixed on new oreo or updates
Just an update. Since upgrading to the official Oreo rom my problems have disappeared and my phone now works fine with the car Bluetooth.

I still have problems. Pause and unpause, and the track restarts. After ending a phone call the track restarts. 2018 RAM, Uconnect
With stock ROM 4.7.2 bluetooth connected only for a few seconds with my Audi A6. With every following stock ROM version it didn't even connect.
I tried every single Audio-Codec and the different settings in developer options - nothing helped. Once I cleared data & cache from the bluetooth system apps followed with a soft brick
Hi all,
Had same issues with my Hyundai ix35 and oneplus 5t (Nougat), tracks skipping, distorted audio in calls, etc... Tried emptying bluetooth cache, switching audio codecs without success. Now I just received the OTA update to Oreo (8.0), Oxygen rom 5.0.3 and it solved the issues!!! Yeay, no more auxilary cable hanging around !

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I started from scratch but the issue persists.
I am having the same issue in my car. It no longer displays track information and the connection is not very stable. I will try switching the codec and report back.
i don.t have any volume control from the phone basically when i connect it to my car stereo
i can control the volume for the first 4-5 clicks ... and then the slider moves but there is no difference in the volume
i have to turn the volume from the stereo almost to the max
whit my old samsung tablet works great ... i have maybe 50% more volume then with my phone
tried all codecs ...

Bluetooth problem after update to 8.0

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?

Audio dropouts in Mxplayer caused by blitzer.de app

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, but since I presume the problem to be with the blitzer.de app (which is a radar warner) I figured I'd put it in the car section. Sorry if I figured wrong.
My phone (galaxy s8 unrooted stock rom) connects to my car's head unit via bluetooth for hfp and to another bluetooth device connected to the head unit's aux via aptx (hd or ll not sure right now).
The phone automatically starts the radar warner (blitzer.de) as soon as it connects to the hfp bluetooth (a built in feature of the app). However the radar warner itself is configured to use the phone's speakers. This setup works pretty nicely in most cases.
On my commute to work I like playing videos in the background using mxplayer (pro version) (audio output via bluetooth aptx, as described above). Somehow here and there the audio of the show I'm "watching" goes mute for about five to ten seconds sometimes. It does not make a difference, if the video is in the background or not. These issues usually do not coincide with announcements from the blitzer.de app. I'm only drawing this connection since this behavior only occurs in my car. Other apps like Poweramp and Spotify aren't affected as far as I can tell.
This has been driving me mad for months, so I thought I'd ask the pros
Any help is appreciated.
I have to redeem the Blitzer.de app. The problem occurs when it is not running aswell. I would change the title, but I couldn't figure out how to.
I think I found the culprit. I had Bluetooth Volume Control installed in order for the phone to remember the volume for different bt devices. Since I uninstalled it, the issue is gone. And since this feature is now integrated into Android Pie, i don't need the app to begin with.
The issue occured again today. So it was not caused by the Bluetooth Volume Control app either.
