After swapping from PixelOS (Android 12) to Pixel Extended (Android 13) I've had some hickups that I've fixed (Google Wallet didn't let me add cards, Instagram call audio didn't seem to be working amongst other bugs) however I can't fix the bluetooth audio problem for the life of me. I use Sony's WF-1000XM4 earbuds and ever since swapping to Pixel Extended I haven't been able to use them. Even though the headphones connect normally (first I hear the "bluetooth connected" audio queue then they are detected both in the Bluetooth settings and in Sony's Headphones app) and the sound output is set to them, the phone either plays the sound through the speakers or doesn't play any sound at all. This problem happens with all audio (Youtube, Spotify, downloaded music and Tidal) and I've tried everything I can (resetting Bluetooth settings, resetting and uninstalling the Headphones app, resetting the headphones back to factory settings, clearing cache and dalvik cache from the recovery mode) and thus far the problem persists with my headphones (haven't gotten the chance to try any other bluetooth headphones but cabled headphones work normally. Has anyone experienced this problem anywhere else or knows a fix?
Found the fix:
1) Go through the Headphones app and reinitialize the headphones to factory settings (this will completely remove it from paired devices)
2) Uninstall the Headphones app
3) Reboot to Recovery Mode and wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache
4) Reboot to System
5) Set the WF-1000XM4s to pairing mode and then pair (ignore the popup that comes out if you haven't set them to pairing mode)
6) Go to the settings and pair with the WF-1000XM4s there
7) Play some audio to verify it works
8) If audio plays normally install the Headphones app
From my understanding Pixel OS' popup comes out as soon as Bluetooth detects the device and because the earbuds aren't set to pairing mode it can screw things up with Android (that's why it detected the earbuds and connected to them normally but didn't play any audio).

i want to report an issue/bug that i've encountered yesterday when i purchased jabra bt620s bluetooth headset for listening music and making phone calls with my magic with ION rom.
when i connect the paired headset with the bluetooth enabled from before, the device only connects for a few seconds in MEDIA AUDIO mode, then remains only in phone audio mode, i have to disable and reenable the bluetooth on the magic to full connect the headset. annoying.
inf instead i enable the bluetooth on the device after that i've powered the headset on, the connection is full from the beginning....
result: i cannot let the bluetooth on in my magic.. because it's useless... i have to go then in preferences, wireless, bluetooth settings, ecc, ecc anyway =(
anyone with this problem?!?!
do you thik this is an ION ROM problem or bug?!?
try holding down the tap on the device in bt settings. then select to connect to media only. this works with my G1.
Hi XDA-ers!
I have a lovely Moto G5S Plus phone (XT1805 -- the dual SIM model), which is pretty darn good. However, one issue I am having is that it no longer connects properly to my UE Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker, and so wont play music via that speaker I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, and is able to offer suggestion on how to fix this?
This is what I've tried:
1) "Hard resetting" the Boom 2 speaker, by holding down the power button and the volume down button until it makes a funny beeping noise. This resets the speaker back to its factory state
2) Doing a "Network settings reset" on my Moto G5S Plus, via Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Network settings reset. This, apparently, clears stuff to do with Wi-Fi, Mobile data and Bluetooth. Indeed, I do need to "re-pair" my Bluetooth speaker (and re-enter my Wi-Fi password, etc.) once I've done this.
3) Turning off "Bluetooth location scanning", via Settings > Location > (...) > Scanning > Bluetooth scanning. This, apparently, also does something to help with getting the Bluetooth stack working OK.
Having done the above, I re-pair my phone to my UE Boom 2 speaker. The pairing is only "partially" successful, in that the devices do pair, and the phone shows a checkbox to confirm whether the speaker should have access to my contacts, but it doesn't show a checkbox to allow the speaker to be used for "Media audio". It seems as though the phone simply isn't recognising the speaker as an A2DP sink.
I have successfully paired my phone to another A2DP sink -- a Bose Mini SoundLink -- and that works fine. I have also paired other devices (an HTC One M8 phone, and a Dell XPS 15 laptop) to the UE Boom 2 Speaker, and these can play music via the UE Boom 2 speaker. I just can't get my Moto G5S Plus to play music with my UE Boom 2 speaker
Would doing something such as capturing the Bluetooth HCI snoop log, via the Developer options do anything to help?
I'm more than open to hearing your suggestions.
Many thanks,
Jon
Hello,
As title says suddenly I can't hear anything through my car BT (Audi) or BT headphones. It was working fine till around a week ago.
I can hear media\music just fine (for example Spotify) in both headphones and car speakers.
Bluetooth is connected correctly as usual, but I can't hear people in calls and they can't hear me too.
In car I can normally start a call with steering wheel buttons, just I don't hear anything. If I change audio output on phone to speaker or phone I ear them, if I rechange to BT silent again.
I tried another phone in my car and it's working fine.
I tried my phone in another car and same problem occurs, so it's some setting in my phone (even if I don't remember changing anything since it was working).
I'm on stock OOS 9.0.5 + Magisk.
Things I've tried by googling A LOT of forums:
1) Resetting network\BT data from Settings>Reset
2) Clearing storage and cache for the Bluetooth system app
3) Manually deleting paired devices from both my car and my phone and re-add them.
4) Played with the BT audio codec\bitrate\version\etc options in developers menu without luck.
5) Tried disabling google now, ok google feature.
6) Tried disabling device discovery for Bluetooth.
Things I take as last chance: changing kernel, clean flash.
Any suggestions?
Purchased Xiaomi Note 9 (not pro or any other varient) which is running the MIUI 12 (12.0.3 stable global version). I immediately encountered an issue with the Bluetooth: I own a Sennheiser PXC 550 (original first version) headset. it connects and plays music and audio without issues until I try to make a call. when I try to call I get the following behavior: when the active noise cancelation is off' the call screen displays the audio source on the call screen as the Bluetooth but no sound or mic comes through. when the noise cancelation is set to active on the headset, the call screen shows the phone rapidly switching between audio sources from the speaker back to the headset. sometimes something goes wrong and the headset stops playing audio after the call and won't play youtube videos until I turn off the headset. I suspect its a software issue. maybe has something to do with how the phone connects to the headset mic or interacts with it. the headset is working with my older Mi Mix 2, Mi 9 (running MIUI 12.0.2), other phones, and devices including smart TVs, etc. other headsets do work.
Things I tried: enabling developer options and changing
1) A2DP to off
2) changing the AVRCP settings
3) rebooting
4) updating the firmware from 11 to 12 (automatically)
5) factory reset
6) Bluetooth cash wipe
7) connection data wipe and reset
8) other call apps
9) changing other Bluetooth settings like codecs etc
10) the problem still excited before the update from MIUI 11 to 12
11) I did make sure that in Bluetooth settings the options to control calls and media were turned on and all permissions granted.
Note, the phone wont allow to turn off A2DP hardware acceleration. the slider jumps back to on and prompts a restart.
talking to Xiaomi support didn't solve the issue. sometimes the headset loses media controls like forword' pause etc.
any ideashow to solve the issue?
Does it works with another Bluetooth Headphones?

unfortunately no, it seems it has something to do with the hardware. i have another set of headphones Jabra 65T and they do work. also the original pair works (PXC 550) but only for media controls and even then sometimes youtube won't respond. the only way I see ut of this is to change the phone or headphones.
Whenever I am playing any audio on any bluetooth device, be it BT headphones or car, the sound is coming out from the phone's speaker and the bluetooth device both, simultaneously. I have tried formating the device and reinstalling the android but the issue came up again. Please Help.

I tried this but didn't work. Multiple sound was already disabled. I even tried re-enabling and disabling it again, just in case..!
