Just wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with Slacker Radio's audio quality streaming over Bluetooth after updating to Froyo? I have my N1 paired to a Clarion CZ500 and have had no previous issues with audio quality before 2.2 if anything the audio quality was superior. Funny thing is though, the music player plays media crystal clear, and everything else audio wise is coming through the speakers very clear. Is it possible that the audio from Slacker is getting sent over the HFP (hands free phone) instead of A2DP? I don't know much about Bluetooth stack stuff.
Also, the music player starts automatically as soon as A2DP is connected, really annoying as when I put my phone in the car dock, I have it set to launch Slacker, so it plays Slacker and the music player. Also, audio controls from the head unit seem to only control the music app instead of Slacker (never did this till Froyo)
Any help or tips would be appreciated, thanks!
I'm hearing the sane thing with my setup. I use Pandora and before froyo, it was clear but after updating, it sounds muffled. A buy worse than radio quality
My slacker is misbehaving now too. It won't open or respond sometimes after the froyo update. On a side note after the update I have noticed severely decreased audio volume from the dock speaker and audio jack output. The audio volume decreases when I put it into the dock. I estimate by 10 - 15%.
Hi having problems playing spotify audio through my cars Bluetooth connection. Using phone thru Bluetooth and playing music through stock player both work fine but spotify just shows itself playing track on the phone while the car shows track is paused. Weirdly reinstalling spotify worked briefly but then original problem came back. Any ideas, and I love my spotify tunes & really miss playing them in the car. Thanks for any help/suggestions
I recently went with an HTC One and while I'm loving the device I've gotten quite spoiled with the car integration of the iphone. My phone is connected via bluetooth to my car audio system. Makes and receives calls fine. Plays out of the "Music" app fine.
But getting beyond that is incredibly annoying. The Music app just wants to play whenever i go to the bluetooth input and getting it to play something else is sometimes impossible. Starting spotify sometimes gets me spotify audio, and sometimes I get stuck in a loop where my car's audio is "paused" and spotify is playing on my phone. I tried to use my phone to stream slingbox audio over bluetooth today and simply couldn't accomplish this, every time i went to bluetooth the music app would start and the slingbox feed would get disconnected. Same behavior with WatchESPN.
On an iphone, the audio is all piped through the same thing and multiple audio feeds can't play, so this would be as simple to fix as double tapping the home screen and going to the airplay like icon and selecting the right output if for some reason it wasn't playing a particular app's audio over bluetooth.
Is there an app or any change I can make that will allow me to control which application is sending the audio over bluetooth? Can I disable the music app just taking over whenever I connect my car? Any other ideas I haven't thought of?
Are you using the car mode system? Go into the car app, go to settings (tap on the bottom middle), and make sure to turn off all the auto-music and such.
No, would I be able to control sling player in that mode?
Similar Issue! Bluetooth works only with Google Music App
I have a similar issue. Bluetooth pairs well with my stereo, and if I use the Google Music App all is great. I get great sound and track information. On all other apps (pandora, spotify, tunein Radio) the app shows that my music is playing but there is no sound coming from the car audio. The strange part is...when I play on Google music, then hit play on Spotify, spotify will play my track for a few seconds before the sound goes away. The track is still playing in the app though. Has anyone else encountered this?

Has definitely happened to me on more than one occasion. I've really only "fixed" it by restarting phone and car and hoping for the best.
iPhone market penetration and awareness has driven ICE integration to the exclusion of other brands.
Lack of similar joined up Android integration is the only thing stopping me going mechless in the car.
Until then, CD.

Yes I've encountered this in my 2011 Sienna. Yep I'm one of those spoiled by how well iOS handled audio through Bluetooth. I haven't tried Spotify, but I did try pandor and tunein and got the exact same results as you, with Google Music being the only player that works. I just transferred some music from my iTunes library and will try playing music through the native music app.
This won't be a dealbreaker for me but man do I miss how seamlessley iOS handled this. At least the steering wheel controls seem to work with Google Music, allowing me to jump to the next track.

So bluetooth streaming works fine for the native music player and I can go back and forth between Google Music and the native player and it streams fine via bluetooth. Still doesn't work with Pandora.

I am experiencing the same. Google music and google play stream perfectly. Maps(Navigation), Spotify, TED, Youtube have no speaker output, car speakers or otherwise.
In the same car I've previously been using a Galaxy S2 with all the above apps streaming via bluetooth just fine.
Anyone any ideas...?
Edit. I've tried everything but looks like this is a known issue with 4.1.2 jellybean. 4.2 update on its way within a month I hear.
Here's the workaround that I discovered in androidforums. I can confirm that it works with my AT&T HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.
Just got an OTA update but no 4.2 yet. Bluetooth is still broken (unless you use Google music)

I have a 2013 Honda Pilot and whenever I stream music from my HTC One via Bluetooth, it will "pause" the music player. This happens all the time. It might go a few songs before it happens or will pause multiple times during a song.
Reg. Bluetooth Audio -
I am having an issue, likely not related to Malladus, but could be. I use my phone in my car for bluetooth phone AND Audio. Audio being the key here.
Phone is working fine. Audio, will not work with anything except the stock "Music" app. I enjoy using DoubleTwist audio player, but nothing works to get it to play through the stereo. When I bring up the music app, it works fine, when I try to play through DoubleTwist, nothing happens. The stock toyota stereo shows my phone connected, audio enabled, the phone shows a track playing, but no audio is coming through. But if I load up the default music app, it starts working fine.
This has worked fine on AOSP roms before due to the fact that there is no "default" bluetooth stack player. I've read around, and the ROM is prioritizing the stock Music app. So I went and remove the Music app with root, now no audio will play except phone calls.
I am SURE someone has run into this. Is there a fix I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can play music fine from the stock KK leak to my Motorola T605 with Google Music and Dsub. Try a different rom and rule out if it's a Malladus problem or not.
Hello everyone, I noticed a problem with my car and stock music player.
With previous phones I could easily see the played song on the car display, play, pause, skip. Now with this phone I can't do anything, it plays music when I start it from the phone, but I can't control it from the car.
Is it a problem of the stock sony music player? On Oreo it was the same as now on Pie.
EDIT: Solved. Probably what did the trick was changing the bluetooth streaming mode in dev option, it was 1.6
