Hi,
After several months using AA in a Golf MY16 with two different smarphones with Android 5.0 & 5.1, using different AA releases, then I have found one "use case" when the AA "fails" (=disconnects from the HU):
* When you're driving inside a tunnel and the car's GPS losses the signal, in this case the AA *always* disconnects from the Head Unit.
Did you have a similar experience?
Hi,
No one with similar behaviour? :silly:
No problem with my 2016 Jetta. Google Maps says me that GPS signal was lost but there is no error. Are you sure it's using the car GPS ? I find it is not very accurate at some places.. Which phones do you use ? I found Marshallow more stable than Lollipop with Android Auto. I had connection drops with 5..1.1 but it was random and not related to GPS signal lost. No problem at all with 6.0.

Thank you for the report! I'm using Lollipop 5.0 & 5.1 in two different smartphones. I'll check with some spare MM 6.0 when I have time.
:good:
you are welcome.
It seems that Android Auto is using the phone GPS (at keast with the VW head unit) Just try to disable the phone GPS before connecting the phone to the car and start Maps : you will be asked to enable the GPS. Really sad.
Hi,
If it's true that AA is using internal (phone) GPS instead of car GPS (almost in a Golf MY16), then the problem can be when the PHONE losses the GPS data... Even, I feel the real problem is: the phone likes to say "GPS disconnected" and the disconnection ocurs because some trouble exists with the audio output.
I also detected that sometimes when a WhatsApp is received, also the AA is disconnected. I hope Google can fix this trouble with the "AUDIO OUTPUT".
You have a similar problem?

Yes I got something similar when trying to run Waze in the background. Waze audio notification made the connection drop. It was with 5.1..1. I can have a try with Marshallow.
UPDATE : no problem at all with Marshallow (CM13) : I was able to run Maps and Waze at the same time. Got Waze audio notifications. No USB connection drop. The only issue is my Nexus 4 did a shutdown because it was overheating but it's a common issue with the Nexus.

Thanks for the info! :good:
I suspect the problem is then related to the audio route inside Android 5.x
Hi,
More info:
Using Android 5.x, VW Golf MY2016 with CAR GPS, and last AndroidAuto App, the GPS signal is comming... FROM THE PHONE! So, yes, VW is not sending GPS signal to the AA process. In this case, when the phone losses the GPS signal, the AA process crashes. This is then the problem in my system: when GPS signal is lost inside a tunnel, then the HeadUnit disconnects with the AA process.
I hope Google fixes soon this problem. Also, I hope VW can upgrade the MIB software for sending ALL car data (including GPS position and ORIENTATION) to the AA process.
Regards.
And hope a droid will accept that data.

Yes I'm afraid AA is too much complicated. It crashes for many phones. Manufacturers doesn't implement all the features but imagine you have to build a head unit with GPS, Car Play, Android Auto, MIrrorlink... and all these subsystems (that does the same job : screen mirroring) have to send car and gps data to phones. using all the protocols. That's just crazy. And when it works you get frustrated because of usage limitations.

I've had my Nexus 6 since Jan. 1, upgrading from an HTC One M7 GPE running 5.0 Lollipop. I experienced Bluetooth connectivity issues with the HTC One after upgrading to 5.0L from 4.4KK, and I knew they were 5.0 related, so I expected somewhat of the same when getting the N6. My problem is, even after upgrading my N6 to 5.01 and then 5.1, most of my Bluetooth issues still exist. I'm trying to figure out if they are indeed software related, or if maybe I have a defective BT radio. I'm rooted, running stock 5.1 LMY47M, with ElementalX Kernel and Nova Launcher. Here is a list of the issues I'm having with my N6 and Bluetooth:
1. Constant dropped connection to my car's bluetooth. Will connect when car is first powered on, then drops connection after about 20 seconds only to reconnect 30 seconds after that, then drop again within 30 seconds. Sometimes it will connect and stay connected for hours. This issue didn't exist with my HTC One running 4.4KK, but did happen intermittently after upgrading it to 5.0L. This issue also doesn't seem to exist when connecting my wife's N5 running 5.1 LMY47D.
2. Problem #1 also seems to exist when connecting my N6 to my Nvidia Shield Tablet running 5.0L, but not as persistent as with Car BT.
3. When my N6 does connect to my Nvidia Shield Tablet, I can send messages using joaoapps' AutoRemote over Bluetooth from my N6 to my Tablet, but not from my Tablet to my N6. Both phone and tablet are configured correctly. This one has me completely stumped and I've spent hours troubleshooting it before just giving up.
3. Audio stuttering when connected to my BT headphones. Again no issue when using said headphones with HTC One 4.4KK or wife's N5 5.1 LMY47D.
3. Bluetooth seems to turn off randomly. At first I thought it was one of my Tasker profiles, but problem still exists even after uninstalling Tasker.
4. My N6 will not connect to my BT OBDII adapter. N6 pairs with adapter, but adapter does not work with Torque or any other ODBII app. HTC One 4.4KK, wife's N5 5.1 LMY47D, and my Nvidia Shield tablet running 5.0L all connect with no issue.
I have tried every suggestion on threads (Reboot, clear Bluetooth Share cache, clear Bluetooth Share Data, forget all connections and re-pair, Bluetooth Auto Connect app) with no luck. I love my N6, but I've hated these BT issues since day one and I've crossed my fingers with every Lollipop update that they would be resolved, to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone (or everyone) is experiencing similar issues with BT, or is it just my N6, and I should return it for a new one before warranty expires. Thanks.
I only use my N6 Bluetooth with my car (ford sync) and occasionally my home phone. I haven't had any issues. Use it everyday on my commute to and from work.
Since you're experiencing this with multiple devices id assume its you phone too. Maybe contact google for warranty replacement?
Are you by any chance wearing a smartwatch? I had similar problem with my OnePlus One and narrowed the problem down to my Moto 360 smartwatch connection. If I didn't have my smartwatch on while in the car, my auto connection worked fine.
Recently, I switched to a Nexus 6 and find bluetooth to be even worse with this phone. Seems as if the signal being broadcast is too weak. Headset audio will start to breakup, with a clear LOS, after just 10-12 ft. Also, just putting my phone in my pocket will case choppiness. With this phone, however, I have yet to determine whether it is my smartwatch that is causing the problems as well or not.

No, not using a smartwatch yet. Holding off on purchasing one until I can get this bluetooth mess figured out. I did another factory wipe and rolled back to 5.01, this time staying encrypted (used no force before). Seems to be a little more stable this time, although I have no way of telling if it's because of encryption or just luck. I think it's just coincidental, I don't see how encryption would have any effect either way. I applied the 5.1 update to LMY47M and so far much more stable than before. Again, I don't know why. I can say I am rather disappointed with Google and the Nexus 6. My wife's Nexus 5 is far more stable and I can't believe Google would allow a 'flagship' device to remain this buggy. I never had any of these issues with my HTC One. I traded up to the Nexus 6 for the Google experience, no bloatware, fast updates, etc., thinking that meant more stability. It seems that trading bloatware for the Nexus experience has an unexpected consequence of being a beta-tester for Google.
Bluetooth is different on the Nexus 6 for sure.

I also use Ford Sync system. For years it has been reliable and worked flawlessly. But starting with the Nexus 6, some of the common applications I use when mobile started crashing the bluetooth stack and giving the error, "Bluetooth Sharing as stopped working."
Before the Nexus 6 which is the first device I've owned with Lollipop, this never happened. The developer of the SMS texting app that is the main one affected by this, has tried everything to resolve the issue but he and I are now beginning to believe it is something baked either into the phone or lollipop, but before this device I never had any problems with bluetooth. I even went as far as to replace my HU in the car with the new pioneer that supports Android Auto, but to my chagrin, it still crashes on that head unit whenever the SMS reader trys to log off and switch back the stream to media. And unfortunately Android Auto currently does not support Pandora which is a must have for me. Pandora runs perfect on the new HU as it did on the Ford Sync as well, but the SMS reader causes BT sharing to error on both devices since the Nexus 6 and Lollipop, so there is something going on with the bluetooth stack and unfortunately no one I can find has any information about what has changed. Hoping Android Auto will soon add Pandora, but Pandora has not given any time estimation about when that will happen.

Funny that you mention that. Previously used my Nexus 6 in the car with no issues. Only thing that changed is that I started pairing with a smartwatch in addition, and now my Nexus 6 crashes a few minutes into using Spotify over bluetooth. Complete automatic reboot.
EDIT: Yep, can definitely confirm the combination of the smartwatch and bluetooth audio device kills my phone. Had no trouble without the smartwatch.
EDIT 2: Turns out Google just sucks at bluetooth. Phone can crash regardless, it's just more likely with the smartwatch.
EDIT 3: RMA'd the phone and the new one works perfectly. Turns out it wasn't the software after all, or maybe the watch update helped.
I don't know if this is the same issue or not, but....
Ever since I got my Nexus 6 I have had bluetooth issues with both my cars. One has a Pioneer headunit (2014 model, not Android Auto), the other is a 2014 Subaru Forester with stock head unit.
In both cases there are days when it works perfectly. Then there are other times when it's a nightmare.
With the Pioneer headunit, bluetooth audio will be playing for a brief period (maybe 30 seconds?) and then something will happen and the headunit will play a repeated beep (bing bing bing bing bing bing) till I turn off bluetooth on the phone, wait a minute or two and reconnect.
With the Forester's headunit, similar situation - i'll be playing audio and it will just drop out. Maybe 60 seconds later it may come back (sometimes). Same applies to telephone calls via the headunit with bluetooth.
The same 'issue' appears with both headunits with one playing a beep when it happens the other dead silence, but both dropping in and out whether it's bluetooth audio or a call.
N6 running latest firmware. Problem has existed since I got it last year. Recently unlocked and rooted, but hasn't made a difference.
I don't know if this is the same as my problem, but it is the closest thread I could find, so I'll post here.
I've had my Nexus 6 about a week. Running 5.1.1, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I've been using a bluetooth headset for phone audio and media audio. It had been working, though I have experienced some audio dropout and stuttering with media audio. I had not been able to determine if that was a bluetooth problem or an app problem, but now I am leaning towards thinking it was a bluetooth problem because of what is now happening.
Today, media audio just stopped playing through my headset. Phone audio is working. I've tried rebooting, I've tried forgetting and re-pairing, I've tried a different headset and I cannot get media audio to play over bluetooth.
I am having the same problem with Nexus6 I have tried two different Plantronics voyager bt headsets and a Motorola Sliver. Motorola said it may be a bluetooth antenna problem
Did a resit on phone and Motorola Bluetooth
I really need bluetooth connectivity so I am stuck
Only other option is either find someone to open up the phone and check the antenna or do it myself maybe replace it myself or look for another phone and use this one as a backup
What would you all suggest?
Thanks
This phone (stock, non rooted) was working with BT fine under 5.01and Kit Kat before it for mostly calls. I know it is the phone because I have tested it now in three different cars, my 2014 Prius, a new Chrysler and Ford. It exhibits the same behavior. Pairing is not a problem. If the screen in on when I enter the car the connection is made. When the screen dims (sleeps) the connection drops shortly thereafter. If I swipe and get the screen back on I can manually re-connect through the car's radio. If I enter the car with the phone in my holster, likely asleep, it will not connect.
Keeping the screen from sleeping appears to "remedy" this issue but that is hardly an option in terms of battery life. Normally I keep the phone in a holster and never had this issue. I have tried every remedy on the Internet. I am using safe lock and have the radio as a trusted device. I have removed safe lock and the same issue ensues. I have unpaired, cleared cache, re-paired etc.
last night I hooked up the phone to my Garmin Nuvi via BT. No disconnect issues.
Any suggestions on further troubleshooting? Any advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..
Work around found
I found an app called Bluetooth keepalive. It appears to have solved my problem for now. Since installing it the connection has not disconnected. The app uses very little battery power

what kind of car do you have? you might wanna look into updating software in your car or at least try it with another phone (preferably the same) just to rule it out
Mine stutters when connected to my car's headunit. It's especially bad when in a call. Wasn't a problem with my Note 3 and doesn't happen on other bluetooth devices.
I haven't had any Bluetooth issues other than the fact it eats a lot of my battery throughout the day but that's a usage issue than anything else. I also use Bluetooth in my car while commuting around the city. If the audio stutters, that often means the connection isn't stable therefore move closer or remove anything in between.
Does playing a track before the Bluetooth connection is established make a difference?

Not really. It cuts off for a second every minute or so. The phone is right in front of the headunit so i dont think distance os the problem. The case is plastic so that shouldn't be causing interference also.

I'm having the same issue with Bluetooth not connecting/cutting out when it does.
OnePlus 3T
Android: 7.0
OOS: 4.0.2
Car is a 2016 BMW 328i
Not a problem on my Optima. I actually had to tune it with an equalizer app because stock equalizer raises the Treble louder then the bass. All normal now but not cutting. Had problem connecting phone automatically for a few days but went away

Use my device with a set off speakers and to connect to my in car audio system and I don't experience the problems you have, sometimes I need to stop and start my music a couple of times whilst it reconnects again if I move between devices but after that it stays connected and working.
my phone has trust issues with my car. it always requires a re-pairing whenever I try to establish a connection (means, whenever I enter the car, and try to connect, it requires me to pair the same phone again)
Working perfectly with my car. Maybe updating car stereo firmware could help?
I will try to see if there is an update for the car master today (their site seems to be down atm). I have had it work at times but it usually has issues connecting and will stop/pause sometimes out of nowhere. It's really difficult because I need a Bluetooth connection when driving but it gets to the point that I need to forget and repair my phone everytime I drive....
I just got my my OP 3T . I had issues with it connecting to my VW Passat. Then I read the following at the car's BT manufacturer's FAQ
Some versions of Android use a deviate pairing method. This can cause the problem of a failing connection. The solution is the free tool Bluetooth File Transfer (Android) for a better Bluetooth connection. It is available at Google Play. Establish the pairing once with this app and from then, everything should work as normal.
So after this app connected for the first time to the car's unit, the phones own BT software also started connecting without problems when I turned the car off and on subsequent times.
Might be worth a try.
Hello I am on the latest e update from T-Mobile and have noticed in my cars Bluetooth when I stream music it seems to have popping noises that seems to be like it's having a hard time keeping up with the stream. I also noticed with audio from videos played through my car has an aweful sync delay. I have a 2017 Ford with Sync3. I have no issues with my older Nexus 6p or GS 7.
Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if I have a defective unit.

I have the same problem with the new update connecting to my 2017 Ford Escape. I found a work around, though. If I disconnect and then reconnect to the car's Bluetooth, the skipping goes away. No idea why this would happen, but hopefully the next update fixes it. I don't want to do this every time I get in my car!
Edit: Also, I'm 90% sure I didn't have this problem before the update.
I hope so too. I have factory reset and turned battery optimization off all Bluetooth apps too. Also I had all the new play store updates. And when I factory reset I lost them all. Seems like the updates tab and filter options were on then gone after reset. ?

Which version of Bluetooth are your devices/car bluetooth connections utilizing? Just curious.
My stereo headphones use 4.0 (Jabra Move), but I haven't noticed any issue yet with high CPU usage, battery drain, quality issues, etc. I've had it on when out in case a call comes in.

Bluetooth Issues
Hi, I have been having bluetooth issues with this phone since day one. It does not happen with all bluetooth devices but it definitely happens with my Pioneer Head unit in the car. Sometimes it also depends on the application used. The strange this is that it does not happen all the time, but when it does it happens frequently. I also noticed that the headunit will get stuck in voice command mode after using voice command, also the phone will answer calls by itself even though this feature is turned off in the settings. The message is "Bluetooth device has stopped working". This obviously did not happen with my G4. I have cleared Cache and all bluetooth devices, and have also cleared them on th Head Unit. I do have another Pioneer head unit in another vehicle, different model and it does the same thing. I have seen many people reporting issues with car units in other vehicles.
Hoping for a quick update, I know weird things are bound to happen with new phones. I really like the phone, this is the only real anoying issue.
I think the issue is more so bluetooth than anything else. Bluetooth never was, and likely never will be, a truly reliable data transfer protocol.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
I think the issue has to do with device incompatibilities. Every phone I have had, I see reports of BT problems that I just don't experience. Hooks up to the car in a flash. Works with both my bt headphones and soundbar for my tv.
My car is a nissan maxima.
I have had g2, g3, g4, nexus 6p , g5 and now g6. The nexus was the worst for my devices. It worked, but getting connected took longer.
Possibly The Music App Being Used
I don't have a ford like allot of you guys replying in the thread, however I have noticed that specifically "Google Play Music" will have an issue on any bluetooth device; where if you have a widget of the player on the phone, and you have listened to music using the app BEFORE you connected to the vehicle, when trying to play from where you were in the song, it will pop and skip around. The only way to fix this easily is to pause the song, clear the app out of recents and re open the app and play. Hope this helps some of you.
I have also noticed this with my G6. I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu and use Google Play Music, streaming through T-Mobile. I have no issues streaming music to the same car with GPM through my Samsung GS7. I noticed someone mention disconnecting then reconnecting bluetooth, so I will give that a shot. Still frustrating, and I am hoping that LG will be able to come up with a software fix.
My G6 Bluetooth crashes every time its connected to my car "Bluetooth crash". It doesn't matter which app I use, it disconnects every 5 seconds. The rest of my phones connect without a problem to my Honda Accord. Even my fiance's G6 connects without an issue. I believe I got a bad unit, will return for another one and see what happens.
There were a ton of Bluetooth issues in 7.0. I had them on my Pixel XL. It really sucks that LG didn't ship the G6 with 7.1. Hopefully they implement the Bluetooth patches in 7.1. I can't get my Dodge truck to display Google Play Music metadata with my G6. My Pixel XL displays the metadata just fine. The G6 does display Google Play Music metadata in my Ford Explorer though.
I'm getting noticeable static when using Pandora via Bluetooth with my 2016 Subaru, but it's an improvement over my OnePlus 3T that wouldn't even allow media playback via Bluetooth with my car.

Hi Yes I am having a similar issue with my lg g6. I am also on tmobile. The sound randomly about 1-2 times during the song just starts to sound terrible (like FM quality). It does have a bit of a static/popping nosie, this happens for a few seconds for me and then goes back to sounding normal.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately it didn't work.
I tried wiping my phone clean but it seems that after the LG Android Updates it starting acting worse. GPM does not help either.
I've tried everything, reset network, clearing all Bluetooth data, safe mode, even restarted my car's audio system. Brand new LG G6, not a day old and it doesn't connect to car, only call audio connects but not the media. Works fine with portable speakers but keeps disconnecting every ten seconds in car.

Are you using google music? I have found Slacker Radio and Spotify both work for me using bluetooth but Google Music just crashes continually.
Recently (no change in hardware or software) navigation in AA starts losing GPS signal, mostly at the beginning of te ride, sometimes also during driving. I was not able to find any trigger of this behavior, also no solution, sometimes finds GPS signal again.
My setup is Amigo or Gmap, postmarkt Headunit, Samsung S22+, wireless connection.
When I use GPS without AA I never have this issue.
Anybody else with similar experience and/or a solution to this problem?
Maybe a silly questions, but do you have your phone somewhere it can get a good GPS signal?
Some cars/windshields are notorious for blocking GPS signals depending on the position of the sensor.
I noticed also some GPS drop outs during bad weather (epecially when it is cloudy, rainy or foggy).

It could be, however, phone is lying on the very same spot (saddle between the front seats, on a wireless charger) as the years before.
That's why I suspect the culprit lies somewhere else than GPS signal strenght..

Some navigation apps, within AA, should and will use the car's GPS, if present: Google Maps does I think, so too does Sygic, that I use; Waze doesn't though, I think. I'm using wireless AA on an Android Head unit, through Headunit Reloaded/Motorola MA1 and that app has an option too, to specify the car's GPS. The phone's GPS will most likely be weaker, especially behind certain kinds of windscreens, whereas a properly implemented car GPS will be connected to the external shark fin antenna, giving a much more robust signal.
I've experienced the same issues, and I noticed that on the phone, the geolocation icon starts blinking too fast. I opened Maps on the phone, and the icon stopped blinking, and AA maps showed the correct GPS location.
So, I think it's AA-related, not an antenna issue.

Recently (no change in hardware or software) navigation in AA starts losing GPS signal, mostly at the beginning of te ride, sometimes also during driving. I was not able to find any trigger of this behavior, also no solution, sometimes finds GPS signal again.
My setup is Amigo or Gmap, postmarkt Headunit, Samsung S22+, wireless connection.
When I use GPS without AA I never have this issue.
Anybody else with similar experience and/or a solution to this problem?

I switched the geolocation permission to "always" for Maps app on the phone.
The issue seems to be disappeared.
This works! Thanks!!
