The absolute Bluetooth volume feature does not turn on on my phone. Have tried toggling the “disable absolute volume” toggle in Dev mode on and off.
This is an android specific issue as my iOS and Windows devices are able to directly control the Bluetooth volume of my speakers.
Had the same issue with my MI A1. Any suggestions?

Bluetooth settings - AVCRP 1.4 - Aptx.
Same issue here..

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,

Car Audio - JVC KM-V
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.
Today I used Google Maps on my 2018 Acura MDX with Android Auto support. While using turn by turn directions with audio notifications enabled and listening to the vehicle's FM radio or Sirius XM, I noticed the vehicle switch audio input back to Android Auto after turn by turn directions were spoken. If the directions were short such as "turn left" the unit would resume the audio source that was in use. If the direction instructions were a bit longer the audio source switched to Android Auto. I was forced to manually switch back to the previous source. Pretty annoying. This happened consistently during my drive.
Anyone come across this issue?

when open google maps the Navigation sound/Alert are silent till i select the BT Audio on my car audio device [KIA Sportage 2017] ,,means that i`m not allowed to listen to radio or even music on the USB stick in case i need to use the navigation ,this was not the situation when i used iPhone 6 Plus on the same car audio device . Anyone faced this issue before . i`m sure that Huawei should handle this incompatibilities in a better manner .
Currently on Android 11 with Android Auto v 7.0.614134 and V4A v 2.7.1.6. When connected via bluetooth music is processed via V4A and sounds fantastic. When connected with Android Auto via USB, music does not get processed via V4A even though there is a USB setting in V4A. Music also does not get processed via the Speaker tab, which it defaults to when plugged in with Android Auto. I have researched this extensively and found it's a limitation for whatever reason. Also odd that I can't find any recent topics on it. The newest discussions are from 2019 to mid 2020.
I have tried disabling USB audio routing in Developer Settings to no avail. My solution is to use the EQ settings on Rocket Player to compensate, and it helps...but it's not the same as V4A.
However, I read somewhere that Android 12 "fixed" this issue. Or perhaps I misunderstood what I read. Any any case, can anyone on Android 12 using V4A and Android Auto confirm if audio is processed with V4A while connected to AA? FWIW, I have a PIxel 4a 5G and have been putting off the upgrade to 12 (hate setting up phones) but if A12 will "fix" this issue I will bite the bullet.
Thanks!
I accidentally stumbled for a solution to this just a few days ago.
If you check the "disable bluetooth auto connect" from AA AIO tweaker, v4a works with android auto too. Atleast in my case, i use AAwireless but i dont think it has anything to do with it.
Im on Android 10 and rooted stock oneplus 7 pro, and v4a wont work without the aa aio

Thanks! I tried AA AIO Tweaker but, unfortunately, it did not work for/with V4A. I did use it to tweak other aspects of AA though, so it is still a useful app.
Part 1
I have gotten v4a to work with Android Auto. In settings I toggled on BOTH "Attach audio effects (All sessions but 0)" and "Compatibility mode". The sound enhancements, unfortunately, come thru the "Speaker" settings...but it's better than nothing.
Part 2
I have experimented more with v4a and Android Auto. On the phone in Developer Settings I toggled on "Disable USB audio routing". I kept v4a settings toggled on for "Attach audio effects" & "Compatibility mode". I then connected to Android Auto and voila...v4a was processing through the bluetooth settings. I was able to tweak settings and could hear the differences. It was definitely processed via bluetooth settings. This worked for Spotify & Musicolet. When I tried Muzecast , v4a didn't process any audio tweaks. Nor does it work for TuneIn Radio or Audacy.
What's weird though, is now Spotify and Musicolet have reverted back to processing thru the "Speaker" settings - not bluetooth anymore. Even after rebooting the phone and re-starting the car.
Not sure why the bluetooth settings don't process any longer when connected to Android Auto, and why some apps don't work while others do. Very weird.
FWIW - v4a does process bluetooth settings for all apps when connected solely to the car's bluetooth WITHOUT Android Auto, but I have to disable v4a setting "Attach audio effects".
Just to give a final update...
I re-read the post by Limpperi and re-checked "Disable Bluetooth Auto Connect". The v4a settings I mentioned above remain the same. Now after I connect to Android Auto I need to manually turn on bluetooth from the phone, but I have been successfully getting music processed through v4a bluetooth settings. Spotify and Musicolet work perfectly this way. Muzecast does not process thru v4a until I disable "Attach audio effects". Audacy and TuneIn Radio do not process thru v4a no matter what settings I try...but I don't use those much in the car. They're more like a back-up for if I travel out of state and want to listen to my local stations.
I still don't know why some apps work this way and other don't. They all work as intended when I simply connect to a bluetooth speaker or ear-buds but not Android Auto.
If you don't have AA AIO Tweaker installed you MAY be able to achieve the same results by simply going into the Android Auto app on the phone and disabling "Use Bluetooth". However, I have not experimented with that so it may or may not work as intended...but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Hope this helps someone.
