Hello,
I recently bought an Atoto S8 Pro to replace my head unit for my 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT because my factory head unit was killing my battery. So I had to replace my HVAC, hazard button, and head unit to be able to control my HVAC and have a radio. So after a good amount of research, I decided to go with S8 Pro and I love the features but I am having issues with intermittent sound. The only app that has sound all the time is my radio app. Any other app has sound intermittently that includes Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Pandora. Please offer me a solution to make all of my apps have sound all of the time like my radio app.

I have just got my P20 Pro, it seems like a great phone so far, but I have one nagging issue.
When I connect my phone to my car's (2015 BMW 3 Series) Bluetooth the now playing metadata of the audio being played is not being passed correctly. So if I play audio from Google Play Music or Pocketcasts the head unit on my car will show either Unknown Track or the track data of the first item on the album or the playlist. The audio itself sounds fine and I am able to skip tracks, select new albums from the car's controls, so it seems some information is being passed correctly, it is just that the info of the track that is currently playing seems to not be working.
Has anyone else encountered this?
At this point I have to assume it is the phone, as my Galaxy S6, S7 & S8's all worked, but I guess it is technically possible that could have been a workaround put in by BMW as they were such popular phones. Hopefully Huawei will sort this out, it may be an underlying Oreo issue as threads like this suggest that Bluetooth issues were around when 8.0 launched https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/E9Q2lyFYRgI
I have done some more digging on this issue and I suspect that is might be something to do with the Bluetooth AVRCP version that the phone is using. Normally in Android (since 8.0) you could adjust the AVRCP version from within Developer Options, but for some reason this is not available on this phone. My Galaxy S8 was using AVRCP 1.4, so I suspect that this phone is using 1.5 or 1.6 and my car does not like it.
I have emailed Huawei to ask for clarification. At this point it is the only real issue I have with the phone, but it will annoy me if it isn't resolved quickly. I'm going to pester BMW too to see what versions of AVRCP they officially support.
Don't have these issues in the car, head display current track etc via Bluetooth ... Use this in a Nissan
Everything works as it should with my Pioneer headunit using Spotify
I just posted something related (possibly) in the RAM/Battery Management thread - I have issues with the Audi MMI Connect app, losing connectivity and so on.....does seem that the P20 Pro handles Bluetooth (no rsap?) and background process management quite differently to my previous phone (Galaxy S8+)....also hoping quick resolution, as love the phone!
Search facility not working in car
Hi
I've just put music onto my P20 pro and it plays fine on the device and the car, however, I can't use the search facility on the car (BMW, 3 series, 2017) to change track. I can do this on the phone. Any suggestions? I put the music onto the 'Music' app (dragged and dropped from my iTunes folder- don't know if this is relevant. Any help would be greatly appreciated as without being able to use the car's search facility and come in and out of albums/ artists is useless. Should I have put the music into somewhere else?

P20 PRO and BMW - bluetooth issue
Bojanglez, did you find a solution? I got the same issue with P20 PRO and BMW X4... so it seems a problem linked to that phone connected to the BMW multimedia system.
With my previous phone, an ASUS Zenfone, everything was fine.
It may be a BMW issue to, maby P20 pro isn't compatible with BMW or Audi. I know that some manufacturers put all in to be compatible with ios and some larger manufacturers of phones. It could be that car manufacturers don't test Huawei phones and don't support them.

No Huawei Garbage bloatware issue, my is random something is normal, most times it plays music but gets stuck on providing music playing info.
Same issue here with my 2016 Toyota rav4. It plays the first track and shows the metadata but then as the tracks keep playing the metada remains the one of the first song. Definitely an issue with Huawei. Their music player works just fine. I think it has to do with the poor Google integration and their need to force that half baked apple wanna be emui down our throats. It should be Oreo but looks and feels like gingerbread.
Hi all, I have an update. I have resolved the issue, but not quite sure which of the following specifically fixed it.
Huawei software update
Renamed by phone in Bluetooth settings
Updated to the latest BMW firmware (from their site)
Messed with some of the Bluetooth settings in Developer Options on the phone
Unfortunately I did all these at pretty much the same time so I can't say for certain which one fixed it, I think it was the Huawei software update as after I updated my BMW firmware I still had the same issue and also in other BMWs I tried. I also noticed that the Bluetooth was dropping constantly in my wife's Puegeot 3008 so that's why I played with the Developer Options. For anyone interested I havethe following now set:
Codec: SBC
sample rate: 44.1khz
channel mode: Stereo
LDAC playback quality: 990kbps/909kbps (optimised for connectivity quality)
HWA playback quality: Best effort (400KB Optimised for connectivity)
HWA Latency: 50-100ms
So I now have track information and basic controls using Google Play Music and Pocketcasts. It does not seem to like letting me browse my library though, but it is at least functional.
Also I changed my car, this was not because the BT didn't work It worked in my 2015 3 series before I changed it. I now have a 2018 4 series and the behaviour is the same, track listing and skip functionality but no browsing.
I have installed the most recent firmware update on my 2 Series 2017, I see two fundamental issues. One is, by using your phone normally, no issues should arise most of the time but still random sync issues with metadata can occur. The second issue is, no matter how good your phone behave and how well synchronized the metadata is, once you open Android Auto app, everything goes to hell and you are back in square one.
To fix it, you should deactivate auto start when connected in the app (or not using it at all), erase your car from devices in bluetooth config within your phone. Erase your phone from the list in your car. Change the phone name. Start over with the synching process. Check for correct metadata in the car. If not working repeat. That should fix the problem eventually.
If you like very Android Auto very much, get used to see the songs information in your phone screen rather than the car.
I am also having the same problem, Huawei P20 Pro and Sony XAV-601BT head unit. I've tried enabling all the permissions in Spotify, cycling the connections, renaming the phone.
i have Pixel 3xl with Android 10, - Bluetooth connects fine there is no metadata - song info. this problem started with 8.1 Android version and I have not been able to get it to work. I really cant believe google cant fix this issue or even aware of it. plenty of threads on google. I think they all use Iphone, i am guessing ...this is very annoying. I have change the avrcp version from 1.4 to 1.6. no luck, also I read that turn off battery optimization on Bluetooth. no luck. anyone else here having similar issue??
Hi All,
I was trying to find a solution already although I couldn't find a similar topic just yet and I thought I might ask the almighty xda community about it :highfive:
Here's my stuff I'm experiencing the issue with:
- Samsung Galaxty Note 9 (Exynos, 128GB ROM, 6GB RAM)
- Bose QC35 II
- Thinkpad 470 (I think this is irrelevant though)
Here's the issue I'm experiencing:
I'm working in an office listening to music via the headphones and I'm simultaneously connected to both the Note 9 and the Thinkpad via BT. Phone is on Silent mode, although when I'm listening to Spotify on the Thinkpad and I get a notification on the Note for the duration of the notification, the music quality drops to about 96kbs or even lower making it sound worse than a casette player.
Any chance to adjust or set the phone not to try to send a signal to the headphones when it's set to silent?
Thank you guys.:fingers-crossed:
I think your best bet will be using Silent Mode Pro from the market

Hi,
I'm currently using my P30 Pro and it seems that there's no way to watch a youtube clip without stuttering. My colleague has got the same problem on his phone.
When using my Bose Soundsport Free , YouTube keeps lagging (only the picture, not the sound). I already tried to reset my phone, delete all data of the app, and changed the codec.
The problem also appears when connecting to my car (youtube stutters). Please note : that was only for testing.
The bose Soundsport free did work without any problems on my Galaxy S9+. I'm also using the newest update.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I think there was a similar issue with instagram also on the previous build. Are you sure you are on the latest build ?
I updated a few days after the release of the phone to EMU 9.1.0.124.
My colleague's phone was using the previous one.
I'm having same problem with Bluetooth audio streaming, I'm on latest firmware...
Huawei phones are (in)famous for aggressive battery management.
I had the music stuttering issue with MX Player on P20 Pro & it only went away if I suspended power management for the MX Player app.
I have had issues with Bluetooth stuttering as well, on Samsung, Skullcandy & other noname knockoffs, but only in public transport where tons of other bluetooth devices are live in close vicinity.
However, on he recent software version on the P20 Pro & now the P30 Pro, I'm seeing the stutters less & less.
Not a solution for your issue, just my observations.
YMMV
This is happening on my p20 recently and it's super aggravating. It will work if I shut the screen of but if Im trying to watch a video I'm pretty much SOL
Hi I found the solution! Go in developer settings and change your Bluetooth code from AAC to SBS. AAC seems to be cpu intensive, therefore causes choppy video. Good luck!
For those facing this issue on Android TV youtube app, using bluetooth headsets, go to settings -- Device Preferences -- Sound -- Under Digital Audio Format, select Auto...restart.
This solved my issue
Gentlemen, and ladies.
I have a Huawei P30 Pro VOG-L29 (Build 10.0.0.173(C431E19R2P5)).
I got a new bluetooth headset for Christmas. I have previously used both solid JBL bluetooths, played in cars, and had ****ty china BT headsets. They have all worked fine.
This new BT headset can't play a song even, without major stuttering and what really sounds like reception issues, like when you exit your car and walk too far away, or just audiodistorted skipping.
The reason I mention it has worked before, and today worked in the car, is so you know most things do work.
However I can't for the life of me fix this new one. I've tried going into Developer settings and changing frequencies, codecs, you name it. However ALL other options than the ones currently in use (SBC, 44.1 kHz, 16bit/sample, stereo) are currently greyed out.
I am at a loss, I really don't want to return this headset to the shop, because ergonomically, it's the boss.
I have tried the headset with my SurfacePro 4, and a backup iPhone and it worked fine.
Please advise, gent's. I've never enountered an Android problem XDA can't fix.
Do you have a Smartwatch or another BT device attached to the phone at the same time?
Yes and no. Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Sapphire.
BUT I did try it with the Garmin unpaired and all software uninstalled as well. So it's not the watch.
I just gave up and exchanged them for a pair of JBL after trying LITERALLY everything. Tried an old backup iPhone and they were fine. Tested them on my wife's Huawei Y9 2019, same problem. A company Y6, same problem. With my SurfacePro 4 they worked fine. Then the same problem with a Samsung tablet.
I googled, searched and tested around for 4 days.
But in the end it was not worth the hassle, so I threw in the towel and changed it at the shop. A real shame, because they sat like glued in my ears, which is rare, huge ears and oily skin, and just felt fantastic.
But now I got a pair of JBL T110BT. They have some audio artifacts, and sometimes when a call is recieved the sound can be distorted and they have to be reconnected(Common problem according to google), but end of the day they are great for what I mainly do, which is listen to Spotify, and use them when I am the caller.
Hi , i have recently got a S21 Ultra. Since ive got it im struggling to get the bluetooth controls on my car's stereo to skip track when using spotify. It used to work with my old phone Oneplus 5T.
