[Q] Can't Disable Bluetooth Media Audio - Motorola Droid 4

Hi,
I want to try and disable the A2DP connection (Media Audio) on my BT car stereo so only the Phone Audio is connected (so I can hear Navigation instructions through the phone speaker).
Although the option to "uncheck" the Media Audio on the bluetooth connection is there, it doesn't seem to work (despite warning that it will switch off the Media Audio), as it just reconnects anyway, even when the option is unchecked.
Does anybody know of a fix or workaround for this behaviour? There are plenty of apps to auto-connect A2DP, but I can't find any to disconnect.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hey Steve.
I have a Nexus 4 and I'm running CM10.1. Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem and I haven't found a fix for it yet. Have you had any luck yet?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Bluetooth Tools/Help Needed

Greetings,
I need some help with Bluetooth. I am using 6.5 21222 from DaG's Kitchen. I have tried every 6.1 and 6.5 variant produced thus far and cannot get consistency with my Bluetooth problem.
My car stereo (Pioneer p-980BT) has the ability to connect using bluetooth for hands free calling as well as audio streaming. The hands free calling always works fine, but I cannot get the audio connection to work. I have tried everything I can think of. I disabled the Handsfree profile but it still connects to hands free. With a hard reset on both the phone and car stereo, I can connect the audio on the first try. However, if I turn either one off, it will not connect the audio again. Handsfree works like a champ no matter what I do.
I have googled and spent several hours looking through the forum, but have not been able to find anything.
Is anyone aware of a tool or registry setting that might help give my audio connection some priority?
Thanks for any advice.
Doug M.
I had the same problem with my Pioneer Avic D3. handsfree works but the Audio stream doesnt work until I found A2DP toggle this enables the Audio streaming .

Thanks a ton for your help. I have spent untold hours fiddling with this trying to get it to work. Installing A2DP Toggle made it work right away.
Thanks again for the help.

Car stereo hijacks bluetooth media connection

I have a Pioneer car stereo with built in Parrot bluetooth and media connection. I had this issue with my previous phone so it must be either an Android issue or problem with my car stereo bluetooth. Every time I connect bluetooth to the car stereo the phone enables media connectivity and I have to manually go in and turn it off again. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off again as it says it's connected even though it isn't (tick box is ticked but if I untick it it connects and I have to untick it again and OK it to verify). Also if I disconnect it then cycle through the sources on the car stereo as soon as I get to bluetooth it enables it again.
I don't want it on because I want to hear media audio through the phone speakers and phone calls through the car stereo.
Android 4.1.2 at present.

I think the answer lies in the question here,, Parrot Bluetooth Media Connection.
The stereo isn't 'smart' enough to determine that what is connecting to it is a Phone/MP3 and as such you wont be able to split the audio to have the phone play music and the Stereo take calls, it'll end up being one over the other.
One way around this would be to test with a completely different Bluetooth Headset to see if this allows music to be played on the Device and Calls to come through on the Headset,, failing that its going to have to be a potential dev jobby to split how the device sends its audio and to what specific device,,, if that lies with HTC and Android/Us or Pioneer/Parrot themselves,, might be worth asking whats the official standpoint on this with the Manufacturer and see if they are getting this same issue from multiple folks

I have the same problem with my HTC One across four different ROMs, two GE and two Sense.
It's NOT an issue with my car stereo (uConnect system) as it works flawlessly on my Nexus 7 and VZW Galaxy Nexus. I prefer to have media (music, Ingress etc...) play over the phone. Only thing I want to play over the uConnect is the actual phone. No matter how many times I unselect media in the bluetooth settings it selects it again.
I see this is an old thread, anyone have any ideas?
Nope. It does not always do it though. I found that if I leave bluetooth on it seems to be OK just as long as I don't switch through from aux to radio to CD and back to USB again on the Pioneer. If I use the automatic bluetooth app to save battery it connects but then connects with the media option enabled. Bummer.

I've just installed Bluetooth Auto Connect have to go run some errands in a little while, I'll let you know if it helps out managing profiles or not.
If it works let me know what settings you used as I don't understand all the options lol.
bluetooth problem
Hi developers: Thanks Team Venom for a great ROM. I have only one problem. Rom 2.7 no problem with Bluetooth in the car. 3.1 Installation of clean and dirty disables bluetooth. Ten seconds connected and then disconnected. Again, connects and disconnects. So it all over again. It is in version 3.6 ... any change BT software? You can install the software separately BT? Or any other advice? Thank you very much
edit: I deleted the original settings in the car. Again the connection and still the same problem.

[Q] Stream ALL audio through bluetooth headset

I recently purchased a Sony bluetooth PS3 headset which also pairs fine with my Note. Calls are working great but the headset doesn't support the streaming of any other sounds apparently.
There're a few apps (BTMono and Mono Bluetooth Router for example) that are supposed to 'fix' this issue but they don't work on my Note. I'm using Slimrom 4.2.2 build 8. I don't get any error messages from the apps, they seem to activate correctly but no audio is being played through the headset.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I would just like to hear my gps navigation through my bluetooth because I have a very loud car and can't hear the nav when my phone is mounted on my dashboard.
Thanks in advance.
I've had a similar issue with a bluetooth headset at work - I imagine fixing this would involve diverting TTS/Music/whatever audio stream to the phone call audio stream. I've tried looking at Tasker, and frustratingly you can tell it to play a single file over the call stream, but can't set a perminant "divert notifications to call" or similar setting. Not as far as i can see.

Help - No sound with Bluetooth headsets

I use the app called Mono Bluetooth Router to hear music through BT headsets. Works fine with other phones, but does not work with this.
I am on 4.1.2 stock rom. The phone connects with the BT headset, but when I activate Mono Bluetooth Router, it connects to the phone but no sound is transferred. It has to be a software issue or a Bluetooth setting, but I can not see any way to access to advanced BT settings.
Any help would be very appreciated. If you are using another app different than mono Bluetooth Router and if it is working, please advise.
I answer myself

Use bluetooth audio while connected to AA

Hi, when I connect to AA it disabled my bluetooth audio so I cant play any audio books over it.
Is there any workaround for this?

In the Bluetooth Settings, go to the setting related to car blutooth, Enable Media Audio. you have to enable similar setting in car bluetooth Settings.

These settings are disabled when connected to AA. Even worth is that even phone audio doesnt work anymore.
Thats seems like an odd limitation.

I have been wanting to put my head through a window for this exact issue. I recently moved from an iPhone to a oneplus 6t and I am really starting to miss carplay. I have an AVIAN USA head unit in my BMW and I need to use Bluetooth so my audio and searing wheel controls work but every time I plug my phone in I lose audio. It seems like controls still work though as I can change songs but I get no audio. I've tried disabling audio routing over USB in dev settings and repairing my bt while android auto is running. I've also tested this with a note 9 and had the same issues. I have tried to put in a help ticket with google but not heard back.
