[Q] problem with Bluetooth Audio

Hi,
While I am streaming music via Bluetooth to my car and using Google Navigation, a problem occurs. When the Navigator tells me what to do next, I can't hear anything (no music as well).
So, so far, I have found 2 MAJOR PROBLEMS with the Note 3 :
1- You won't be able to play music after making/receiving a phone call. Error message: Unable to play during phone call. If you use another music player app other than the stock one, such as Winamp ... you can play the music, but the sound does not come out from the speaker at the bottom, but the speaker on the top.
2- This Bluetooth issue.

Were you able to find out the fix for these issues? I am having the same problem.

Until now, I have not found a way to fix this annoying problem yet.

i have the same issue
Normally, i stream music with bluetooth to my car. sometimes i use waze at the same time. whenever a directional prompt or police warning comes on, it used to pause the music and the lady speaks the direction. The music then resumes and everything was fine.
Now, when the prompts come on, the music cuts off (but doesn’t pause, because when it comes back on its at a later part). Sometimes the voice prompt makes it thru but is choppy/garbled, or sometimes no voice at all. This behavior is the same for waze and google maps navigation.
I tried the setting to make it use the phone speaker instead, but it’s the same thing.
I noticed that this first happened after I installed the Themer app. I didn’t find the themes interesting enough and uninstalled it. I’ve had this issue ever since. I’m tempted to factory reset the phone, or better yet, root with RDLV since I’m still on MI9 as I understand RDLV wipes the phone anyways…

Are you having the same problem with streaming music via bluetooth not working ?
When you turn on your bluetooth to connect with the car, the phone will be put in "call mode" which doesn't allow you to play music at all? And even if you turn your bluetooth off, the phone will continue assuming that youre on a phone call, and doesn't let you play music.
At least right now, I and one other person in this forum are having the same issue.
It really drives me crazy.I think its because of the update to MJ5, I never had this problem when I bought the phone, only after update. . But now I can get back to stock, since their is no stock firmware for it yet.

my problem is with navigation prompts (either waze or google map) not working with I am streaming music thru bluetooth. when not streaming music the directional prompts come thru just fine. i can stream music to the car with no problems about being in call mode

[Q] AT&T Galaxy S4 Active - Bluetooth device kills audio during phone calls

Hello everyone! I have been trying to track down a problem with my Galaxy S4 Active that has been driving me nuts for a while. I figured that making a new thread would probably be best because I did not find my particular issue listed.
Basically, what happens is that I will make a call over Bluetooth and everything will be fine. Once this call has ended, all audio related to phone calls dies. The phone still behaves as if it is making and receiving calls, but nobody can hear me and I cannot hear them. Not over Bluetooth, through the earpiece, nor over the loudspeaker. It’s all dead. I also cannot hear it ringing if I dial out, but the phone itself still rings.
I have tried turning the Bluetooth device on and off, disabling Bluetooth and turning it back on, going into Airplane mode and back out again, turning speakerphone on and off, muting and unmuting the call, and muting and unmuting the phone itself. The only thing that fixes this situation is restarting the phone.
I recall this situation first started presenting itself after updating to the ML2 firmware, but it didn’t happen all the time. It became much more apparent after updating to the NE3 firmware. At that point I spent some more time looking into it and became able to readily duplicate the issue.
I have gone so far as to reflash the NE3 firmware with Odin 3.07 to see if the issue remained. Interestingly enough, this appeared to correct the issue until I started updating and reinstalling a few apps. So now I’m trying to track down exactly what did it.
I suspect that it may be the “OK Google” hotword scanning from Google Search because I had it set to detect “From any screen” as well as “From lock screen”. Although I did not have the “Bluetooth headset” setting enabled because I wanted to take that out of the equation. Once I turned off “From any screen”, the Bluetooth appears to be working normally.
Another possibility is that I had frozen S-Voice because it got in the way of the normal voice dialer. This has been restored. I also have to mention that the voice dialer appears to be more stable after disabling “From any screen” as well.
I also can’t say for sure, but it also seems to happen more frequently when charging. Although that may just be a coincidence as I normally do charge my phone when I connect it to Bluetooth. Also I have duplicated the issue when not charging and gotten it to work fine while on the charger. So it is probably just a coincidence.
Here is what I’m working with:
AT&T Galaxy S4 Active (SGH-i537) reflashed back to I537UCUCNE3 Android 4.4.2 stock firmware.
Jabra SP700 - Main device I’m testing with. Old Bluetooth 1.1 speakerphone that clips on a visor. Supports A2DP for an FM transmitter to stream music, but I have Media disabled on it. I tested with and without this setting and it made no difference. It worked great back when I was on MF3, but started having problems since I upgraded to ML2 that are easily replicated now on NE3.
Jabra BT620s - Secondary device that I tested with that also demonstrated the same problems. Although I haven’t tested as much as the SP700. This is a pair of stereo headphones that uses Bluetooth 1.2 and A2DP for streaming music. Also worked better with older firmwares, but I haven’t used it much lately save for testing this problem.

I also tested it quite a bit right before and after rooting it and it was working fine at the time, so I don’t believe that it’s related to root.
I would like to know if anyone else has encountered similar issues or can duplicate what I’m seeing?
Thanks!

After spending some more time testing it, I can verify that it IS in fact the “OK Google” hotword scanning from Google Search 3.6.14.1337016.arm. When it is set to detect “From any screen” and well as “From lock screen”, the audio will die after the first call over Bluetooth. Once I turned off “From any screen”, the Bluetooth works normally.
Now that I've finally found it and can easily replicate it, I'm still curious if other people can replicate it or if this is something isolated to my phone and/or Bluetooth devices. Would anyone be interested in testing this with me?
I'm planning on writing up some feedback on it once I have a better idea of how big an issue it is. I think it would also help anyone else that runs into this problem. I've been fighting with this off and on for over a month because it seemed so random.
Thanks.

I am having the exact same issue with the 2 s4's that I own. I suspected it was either svoice or Ok google, I will try to turn off the from any screen setting and see if it fixes the issue on mine as well. That is a shame because I really like using the ok google feature from any screen.

I've been having the same issue, but did not realize it was ok google from any screen. I've turned it off now, let's see if it works. Thanks for the heads up.

It looks like a recent Google Search update re-enabled the "From any screen" OK Google hotword detection setting. This still is not fixed and it killed all call audio while I was trying to lead another vehicle. I didn't find out until I parked that it was turned back on.
I have sent feedback to Google on the Search app and recommend that everyone else who has had this problem do the same. If this continues to happen, I will resort to negative reviews if I must. Please help get the word out if you are having the same issue. Thanks!
EDIT:
There are apparently several other people having the same problem on other Samsung devices (particularly Galaxy S4's):

[Q] Post 5.1 Bluetooth Issues/bugs

5.1 did not fix the bluetooth issues I had...it actually added another bug.
New with 5.1:
-When playing music with Google Play Music, whenever I switch tracks, the screen turns on. Why?
Still a problem after 5.1:
-Sometimes Bluetooth plays but without sound - it takes some weird opening/closing/pausing/starting maneuvering to hopefully get it working
-Pause during notifications does not work properly - I've tried this with Google Maps and a few different podcast apps. With Google Maps Navigation on and a podcast playing...when Google Maps wants to talk, it pauses the podcast (as the setting says) but the Google Maps notification is muted. It's just silence until it is done and then the podcast resumes.
Is anyone else having these sort of issues?
Nexus 6, 5.1D, stock, rooted ,twrp, with my 2013 Cadillac ATS

Yes it is happening to others myself included. why? I have no idea. But you are certainly not alone.
Sent from my Google N6 on VZ

I just posted this in the General section ....
OTA'd the 5.1 update on 3/26/15.
Since then, contact addresses fail to appear on vehicle displays over Bluetooth.
Rebooted phone / Forgot and paired phone to vehicle, no fix.
Phone is paired to 2 vehicles with the same results.
Can anyone confirm this?

Having the same issue. If you disable ambient display, the screen will stay off when selecting tracks with Bluetooth. My issue with Bluetooth is that every few days I have to reboot the phone to get the BT to work. I can't even toggle Bluetooth. When I do, it says Bluetooth turning off, it toggles back on by itself. Tried force closing all running apps but dosent help.

When it comes to bluetooth problems, especially with cars and this phone you will find very few helpful answers. Sad but true, not many Nexus 6 people seem to use hands free automobile applications on their device. I had to buy a new head unit for my car along with all the other bullcrap to make it look nice in my car to get some of these puzzling problems to disappear. Android Auto works great if you have the supporting gear in your car and follow the instructions about how to pair phone with car and use the right USB port and wire in your Nexus. After that, everything works as expected. Unfortunately you do have to spend some cash and time to do this but it is the future and if you plan and use your phone in car more than anywhere else, it is worth the investment and will improve with time. The only good take away from all this is, so far only nexus devices running lollipop work with Android Auto supporting head units.

It wasn't perfect, but my Bluetooth was just fine pre 5.1...I can deal with the quirks and avoid spending $$ on Android Auto (for now at least)...but these major bugs need to be fixed ASAP.

Do we know if this is fixed?
Is this fixed in 5.1.1? Is there an issue logged with google? Anyone?

I have my nexus 6 rooted with 5.1.1 stock and the bluetooth doesn't work. I cannot see any device but the other devices can see it.
I have tried to fix it clearing cache and data (only bluetooth) but the problem is still there.
Do you have any idea guys?

This morning I remembered my experiments with my old gt-9100 and I have decided to do wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache.
And now... bluetooth is alive!!!

Android Auto suddenly stopped working on my Chevy MyLink

I have a ZTE Max Pro with T-Mobile and a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LT. I have been using Android auto flawlessly for about 1 month and then suddenly it just stopped pairing. There was a brief period where it was mal-functioning. A few days ago using google maps and I received absolutely no audio from google maps and google play music kept pausing for no apparent reason. I was able to hear the music on google play music but no audio from google maps and I made sure it wasn't muted. After that, when I plug my phone into my car, I get NOTHING. It charges and thats it. The car doesnt even TRY to load Android Auto and the phone doesn't do anything. Its like they don't see eachother. I made sure its on MTP mode and USB Debugging is enabled as well.
I remember it working right before Waze became an option, after that it went Ka-Put. I completely factory reset my phone and it STILL did not help. I tried another phone and it loads up fine on my car.
Any ideas?

This was an old post, however I'm having the same issue in the same car. Swapped cables, phones, reverified settings on both the phones and mylink head unit. Frustrating as this was working fine for months, then stopped. Short of a trip to the dealer I'm not sure what else to try.

Compatibility with Android Auto

Is there someone who could test the compatibility of the P20 Pro extensively with Android Auto? I suspect the general incompatibility (waze, Google music, in call screen,...) of the Mate 10 Pro is still not solved and till now not one review pays attention to this glaring issue. Curious if Huawei has solved this problem with this new phone.
More info on https://www.facebook.com/huaweinotcompatiblewithandroidauto

Interesting. I'll listen here before buying, because I use Android Auto quite a bit, so if it doesn't work it's a no go for me.

Unfortunately the first feedback reports the same incompatibility as with the Mate 10 Pro.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=204982796762460&id=187291041864969

I'm having issues connecting the phone to the head unit now with the android 8.1. It is telling me that there is a error code of communication error 6

This is diabolical, for such a basic functionality!!!

I am awaiting delivery of my P20 Pro, and was literally 5 minutes away from ordering an Android Auto headunit!
You have just saved me a lot of money... thanks!
Hopefully more people on here will be able to test.

For me, the only thing that doesn't work is Play Music. The progress bar moves but there's no sound. BBC iPlayer Radio and TuneIn Radio both work fine. No problems with Maps and phone.

It's poor at best, if you get it working leave it and don't touch anything.
Had a trip in partners Ford Focus - Sync 3 head unit, works fine with Pixel 2XL/XZ1 Compact but this just either didn't want to play anything or when attempting to read a message would give the error "voice commands not available at the moment" same when attempting to use voice commands as well. Once I did get it playing music and maps I just left it as I didn't want to break anything but still no voice commands available.

Looks like Google will be making Android Auto fully compatible with the P20 Pro. Looks like our phone is a big enough launch from Huawei to attract attention from them.

I'm using a P20 Pro. I have been using android auto in my golf now and everything seems to work fine. The only issues I am having are that I can make calls, but I can't see the phone call on the screen which means I have to use the steering wheel to hangup. When someone rings me I can't see it on my. Infotainment screen. Also can't see all of my contacts. Only my most recent. Hopefully there is a fix coming for this

Just received my P20 Pro yesterday, and just like my all previous Huawei phones (P9, P10, Mate 10 Pro) - it works with AA fine enough (only issue - call screen is not being shown).

It's barely usable...
Well it's my first Huawei phone (coming from an S8) and I'm a big fan of AA probably because of Waze...
Here are my remarks:
- Google Maps works from time to time
- Waze doesn't work at all, I have a black screen
- and for the audio it's impossible to switch between the apps and there's no audio
So unless you're using Google Maps extensively, I don't see why you'd use the P20 Pro with AA.
For those who are thinking how it was with an S8, well it was kind of a all or nothing experience. I've had periods where the phone wouldn't connect to AA and suddenly start working again.
I have also noticed that the cable quality is very important.

Android auto working fine for me. Only issue is the phone charges very slowly when connected. My one plus used to charge much quicker when connected to car head unit

Hello I've P20 and vw sportvan, no map (waze or Google maps)... I've black screen. No sound when I want to use Google music... I hope Huawei make something to solve this....

I have AA in a Pioneer headunit, working with a P20 Pro, I get audio issues with Google Play Music, waze works fine...

Got a P20 Pro and Android auto is working perfect in my Volkswagen Passat GTE. Been using it daily and everything works fine for me including Waze and Spotify
Skickat från min CLT-L29 via Tapatalk

Doesnt Work
Pioneer X8800BT headunit worked flawlessly with Sony Xperia Z5 Premium so it's not the headunit.
Waze worked for a hour or so with audio then this became a black screen. Google play music "plays" but no sound comes out. In the end I had to unplug the phone from headunit (which I paid good money for) and use the unit as a dumb bluetooth speaker while using Waze directly off the phone...
I think I'll be returning it and getting a Pixel 2 XL unless someone can give me hope that there is work being done to solve this? I don't want to root it just yet because my credit card / banking apps stop working.
Shame as it's an otherwise excellent phone - but this is a deal breaker for me.

From my point of view is essential to have a quality USB cable. Everything (Waze, Google maps, call screen) works seemly with original cable delivered with charger. With another cable work call screen only, Waze and Google maps shows black screen. With cheap USB cabel my mobil phone (Huawei P20 PRO) doesnt connect to car (Hyundai i30 2018).

yesterday an AA update hit the play store. anyone tried after that?
