When Contacting BT to my Car I have less capabilities than I was with a STOCK android (on the same device)
Here are a few issues:
1. Can't answer via car wheel or audio Touch Panel buttons.
2. Can't dial from JVC (although contacts do sync)
3. "OK Google" not able to unlock the device.
I have the feeling that all issues are more relevant to permission or security blocks than BT itself, but I couldn't find any reference and do try to disable the Permission Manger. (The problems still exist)
Last important thing - These issues exist in the stable ROM as well (both EU and GLOBAL versions)
Thanks,

I picked up my new car yesterday (Seat Ibiza) only to find that my N1 will not pair with the installed bluetooth handsfree system. I can find the kit when searching for bluetooth devices (picks up as Seat_BT with a headphones symbol alongside) however selecting the 'pair & connect' option results in a messagebox stating "There was a problem pairing with Seat_BT" - no PIN code is requested.
I've tested the car with other devices (laptop, other phone) and the pairing is successful.
I've checked the compatibility listing with Seat and they list (from Dec 2009) the Hero and Magic as compatible (as at Android v1.5). I've also seen posts in Seat forums indicating that the HTC Desire pairs successfully with the Ibiza handsfree option.
My N1 is stock, unbranded running 2.2.1.
Can anyone here give me some insight into the differences in the bluetooth stacks / known issues with N1 bluetooth that may help me resolve this?
Is there a way of logging bluetooth pairing requests that will help me find the root cause of this issue?
TIA

I've resolved my own problem, so here's the approach for anyone else..
To pair the Seat kit with a Nexus One you need to do the following:
1. Find an app on the Android Market called "Bluetooth File Transfer" by Medieval Software
2. Install
3. Using the app (on the 'Remote Devices tab) initiate the pairing with the car
4. You will get the PIN prompt - enter the 1234 PIN
5. Once paired the app will begin transfering something (I think it's call history but not sure).
It will then report an error - don't worry about that.
6. Shutdown the app and uninstall it (it is no longer required).
7. Reboot the N1 (to clear out any remaining dregs of the app).
8. Phone should then connect and disconnect using the standard bluetooth functionality.
Not sure why this works, perhaps the app extends the default bluetooth stack, resolving the issue that prevents the prompt for the pair passkey.
I've not fully checked the level of functionality available, but I can definitely initiate a call to the last dialled number and answer incoming calls.
Hello guys,
This will be my first post on XDA. I have been reading the forum for quite a while even though I am currently using an Apple device. I have used both Android and iOS devices, and acknowledge their pros and cons.
I have always liked to mod my devices (this goes as far back to my Sony Ericsson K550i). This includes jailbreaking iOS and fiddling with Cydia tweaks and Android rooting, flashing custom roms etc. I am posting this in the OnePlus 3T forum (because I am considering to buy it) but it applies generally to all Android devices. So my question is:
-Does the OnePlus 3T sync volume with bluetooth devices the way iOS devices do (the phone controls the volume on the device and the device can control back the volume of the phone)?
I am asking because I am using bluetooth devices all the time (bluetooth headphones and speakers) and the Android devices that I have tested so far do not support that feature. It usually goes like that: you have to set up the volume of the phone and the bluetooth device separately and with many devices this causes not only inconvenience, but also worse performance (i.e. if you set the device all the way up there is an audible hiss, or the DSP is not working properly depending on the volume level). If it isn't a built in feature, can it be added somehow (fiddling with system files, flashing something, installing something additional)?
So far this is one of the major things that is holding me back onto my old jailbroken 5c (iOS 8.4) . I really hope there is a nice solution
Most Android devices on Android 6.0 and above should natively supported Bluetooth volume syncing. Though I find that this only applies to reasonably modern Bluetooth devices. While my Bluetooth headphones (~3 years old on BT4.0) can control my phone's volume fine, my 4 year old Bluetooth speaker cannot (5 yo, BT2 or 3?).

I read that they introduced the feature in 6.0.1 but then removed it in some version of Nougat + introduced volume reset (to 50%) when you connect to a known device. I tried my roommate's Galaxy A5 (running 6.0.1) with my Sony XB3 and it wasn't syncing the volume. Now I have replaced the XB3 for JBL Charge 3 and will check it out as well but I feel that the bluetooth implementation is a bit hit and miss. I mostly care about the JBL Charge 3 (Bluetooth v4.1) and Jabra Revo Wireless (Bluetooth v3.0) volume sync.
I use an app called Trigger (much weaker version of Tasker) to change the Bluetooth volume to the ideal level for each Bluetooth device I connect.
On two occasions now, my headset's volume fell out of sync. I'm not sure what caused it, but re-pairing fixed the issue.

I did further research on the topic. It appears that the problem lies in AVRCP and more specifically the version that Google uses in Android (1.3). It hasn't been updated for years and it is still the same
even in the latest Nougat. This is a topic that I managed to find out: code google com/p/android/issues/detail?id=186433 (insert dots because I cannot post links before reaching 10 posts)
It is really a shame that Apple devices have been supporting the newer revisions for so many years and that Google doesn't give a damn about it. Since this is XDA Developers can someone come up
with a solution for the problem that can be implemented on different Android devices? Please
My Jaybird X3 adjusts the volume in sync on my 3T running OOS Nougat, but on my Moto X Pure running Marshmallow, I have to adjust the phone and Bluetooth volume separately, which was annoying.
I never tested it on OOS Marshmallow though.
Okay, so first things first:
My device is running OOS 3.5.4 and is rooted.
The issue I'm facing is that when I connect my 3T to my car (Hyundai Verna 2016 if it's necessary) via Bluetooth, the phone starts spazzing out and lagging like crazy until I switch off the Bluetooth. Also, when I try to play music from Spotify, it plays but no audio is heard from the car's system. I am 100% sure it's not my car's fault because my other phone (Asus Zenfone 5) connected just fine and played music from Spotify with ease. I'm extremely clueless as in what could cause this issue. Can my fellow XDA buddies help me out on this one? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Comment to resurface this post.
why aren't you running the latest version of oxygen os? 4.1.3?
You say you are using OxygenOS 3.5.4 and you are rooted. This makes me believe you are doing it because 6.0 is more "mod friendly", and you are probably using Xposed and/or Viper.
VIPER4ANDROID is known to cause the exact same behavior that you mentioned. Probably easiest to flash a custom ROM with it already built in like Freedom OS or Audax.
Update your ROM
You need to be running an updated version of OOS. There have been many fixes and improvements to Bluetooth connection and reliability and I haven't had any of the issues you describe. Below is the list of Bluetooth connections I make on a weekly basis and I haven't had any problems running OOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.3:
1. VW car stereo (phone and audio streaming)
2. Nissan car stereo (phone only)
3. Panasonic home phone system
4. Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset
5. Dell laptop computer (data transfer)
6. Sony portable speaker
XZ1 Compact (Android 8.0) in Bluetooth connection with 2017 Subaru Forester
All apps that play audio tracks show elapsed time, but remaining time is shown as -0:00.
Tried all sorts of permutations through the Developer Options, but none seemed to make a difference.
All previous Android phones, same setup, running Android 6.x through 7.x, don't have this problem.
Is this a known bug?
Thanks
I have the same issue with my phone (not the same car, just bluetooth media info not working on any device), and I think it has something to do with android 8.0, because google's Pixel also has this problem when updated to 8.0
yeah, not working great on my Hyundai i40 (with Navi unit) (dont see any song names or song duration & intermittent working of FF and Rev)
I changed the version of BT to 1.4 in the developer settings and it helped a bit

The SPP Bluetooth profile doesn't seem to be supported in Android 8.0 running on the XZ1, XZ1C (and apparently the Pixel?).
The others, HFP,OPP,PBAP,AZDP,AVRCP,MAP are all present, according to my external BT devices.
Then again, this may have nothing to do with the BT bug we're discussing here.
Got the new update this morning and still Bluetooth bug, that SPP profile doesnt have anything to do with the music, but its good to know.
One appreciated improvement in the most recent (...12.34) firmware is that the long-standing Bluetooth bug, where connected BT devices do not show the remaining playing time of a media file, is fixed.
I just upgraded to MIUI Global 11.0.6 and since then my airpods won't work correctly
In the bluetooth setting it says Connected (no phone) | Active Media
The play music fine yet do not show up while making a phone call !

I do not own those.
However, I remember reading that each headphone need to be synced individually. I can assure that the latest Xiaomi.EU rom has no issues with BT
