Bluetooth streaming. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I recently switched to a Note 4 from my old Moto X and one problem that I have ran into is that when my phone is synced to car I have always been able to stream audio, make and receive calls with my headphones still plugged into my device but with the Note 4 it will only work if I disconnect them. Does anyone know of an option to fix this or is this working as intended? Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Optimus 7 bluetooth issue

I finally got my Optimus 7 phone form Telus. I have to say, best phone I have every had. It recognized my bluetooth stereo headset right away, so no problems there. I here music AMAZINGLY over the headset.
Then I go to play video, and it will not play over the blue tooth. I have no idea why. I checked all the settings everythign I can think of and I am getting nowhere. Anyone no how to get the video audio to work over bluetooth.
Thanks.
That's because AFAIK Windows Phone 7 does not support any kind of streaming or file transfer over bluetooth at thise moment in time, it can only be used to pair with headsets etc.
Actually, the Audio over Bluetooth for Videos is a limitation of WP7, which may or may not be addressed in the next update. Microsoft is aware of it though.

SM-N910C - Call over bluetooth problem

Hello to all, let me explain my problem. I have a Note 4, C version, Sony A400BT car audio with bluetooth. Since two days, i managed to connect at car audio different phones, like S3, S3 Neo, Allview, Note 4 F, all works. Nokia 700 with Symbian works too, Lumia 520 with Windows phone works too.
On my Note 4 C, when somebody call me, or i call somebody, nobody cant hear me. I hear all sounds/voices/ from phone call, or sounds from media. My problems is nobody hear me. Is like microphone is set on Mute. It not activate car audio microphone, and phone mic too.
On my Note 4 C, i have a Gear 2 watch connected 24/24. No problems to connect at laptop or other devices.
What solution do you have? It is a bluetooth hardware issue? (but since all is ok with Gear 2 ...)
Nobody?!?
..........
You phone goes in Privacy mode. This has something to do with "Voice Privacy" that google seem to have made standard on android 6.0.1. Was working fine on Android 5.1.1 in my car

Gear fit 2 Causing Bluetooth audio distortion

Does anyone have this issue when you connect to a smart watch, the Bluetooth Audio device will start to have audio problem and fine without the 2nd Bluetooth device paired
Thanks in advance
I'm having BT audio skipping/stuttering issues with my v20 and my 2016 Mustangs Ford Sync. I also use a moto 360 watch. Wonder if having 2 devices is causing the issue? didn't have any BT problems with my s7 Edge.
edit:
not the moto360 causing issues for me, same problems even without the watch on. Maybe it's the app I'm using not ready for Nougat (DI.FM). Going to try .pls files in VLC player to see if that works better.
Yeah , I didn't have this issue with my Note 7. Hopefully someone have a fix

I have not experienced any issues and I do have great fit 2. I sync to my car and two different sets of headphones without issue.
I have a rooted h918 with gear fit 2 and sometimes my jabra revo bt or my Ford sync no issues

Anyone else having issues w/ bluetooth not providing media audio option?

Have this issue w/ the S7, note7 and now this s8+. The S5, S6 works, note5, etc. Exact same results with the phones that do not work.
In my other cars it works fine so I know its my Kia but I don't have any idea how I can rectify this. Called the tech at Kia and he said they've not tested the note 7 and may never as the car is a few years old so It looks like I'm on my own here. On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora (Streaming audio, NOT pandora app radio) but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone speaker. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3, note 5 and S6 work just fine. Very disappointing. My wife is running android 6.x on her s6 and it works so it is not that.
I had a ticket into google on this for my note7 but they blamed samsung saying the ROM is fully customized by samsung. Samsung says it's googles issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggested fixes?
Yes, I had this issue! When I got my S8 yesterday it would connect for phone and the third(?) option, but not for the media option. Your car might be the issue though, if none of those phones work. Mine did show three options: phone, media en another one.
Well: during the car ride I noticed there was an update for 'Samsung Connect' so I downloaded that. After that update still no joy. I then proceeded into work, obviously disconnecting the bluetooth connection. Once I got back in my car at the end of the day the connection magically worked. So it might be one of a few things:
1. Update Samsung Connect (if you can)
2. Disable bluetooth
3. Remove bluetooth paired device
4. Turn off car and restart phone
5. Try again
I`m about to head out for work again so I`ll see whether mine still works or not.

Yeah so there's prolly something else wrong, as mine did show the media option. Sorry
Yeah it occurs on all 2011-2013 kia/hyundais w/ navigation and i'm sure other cars as well. Nobody wants to fix it and basically it keeps me from even using this phone.

I have the same issue. I have a 2012 of the same car, Navigation with Infinity speakers. This is not the UVO head unit. I can connect for phone calls and contacts, but all media plays through the phone. I can see the first item from the music app, and can only skip to next song (I haven't tried previous song as I am only streaming). It does not pause though. All audio keeps coming through the phone no matter what.
I've enabled/disabled streaming on the car. I've reset the radio/head unit. I've reset the Bluetooth on the car. I've unpaired from the car side and phone side. I've tried various combinations of these things. None has fixed it. I've mentioned the problem in forums here:

Try the bluetooth app called bluetooth auto connect. I can not connect w/ my car on my s8 and s7.

I think it is samsung software. I paired it with a pioneer avic head unit for a trip 8 hours away to deliver the car to my friend. When first paired, it worked fine. Most of the time no issues. But for some reason after one of the rest stops (turned car off) I ran into that issue. When you go into BT settings in the phone, the media option was grayed out.
Only way to fix it was to forget the device, and repair it. It happened a few times on the way over.
Now that my friend has the car, he has no issues and streams with his Moto Z.
I have another issue with my car. The phone connects to Bluetooth but I can't navigate thought my music folder within the car system. Previously I had no issue with S7 edge and iPhone 7 plus. This is driving me crazy considering that Android auto just sucks with music playback. Most of the time audio apps I use (Spotify / Google play music) seems to do not work properly.

I need to toggle off and on the bluetooth 2-3 times for it to connect to media audio. Call audio goes on every time, it is a pain to connect this way every time. It worked perfectly until the first Nougat update.
That certainly isn't the case for kia/hyundais and a few other cars produced around 2011-2014. What make/model is your car?
Did you resolve this? I think I might have seen your post in the samsung forums. I have a 2013 Optima with Nav and having the exact same issue. I've done everything in the samsung forums to no effect. TIA.

Yes, bluetooth auto connect
I have the same issue with a Civic. With S2, it paired fine, but contacts only synced like 200 of them. Music info displayed.
With S8, imports all contacts fine, syncs music fine, but no music metadata. I would like to see artist name, track and album on screen.
All apps I have tried do not work
My issue with the S8+ is that I cannot get my AppRadio 3 microphone to issue voice commands despite having all the correct settings for Google as near as I can figure. The head unit works fine on my LG G3. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. It's destroying the phone's usability.
Old thread but I was having the same issue and found a fix that's been working pretty reliably for me so I wanted to reply in case I can help anyone here.
I was having the problem with my g6 and Hyundai. Phone connects to call audio fine but media audio won't play through the car, I can see the song that's playing and even use steering wheel controls to change it but sound comes out of phone.
What I did. Disconnect from the car, connect to another Bluetooth speaker and play music through it. Connect to the cars Bluetooth and you should get a notification asking what device you want to play audio on, pick the car. Should work for about two weeks and then you'll have to repeat the process.
Hope this works for you guys as well.

I think Google has some things to fix with BT. Hopefully it is fixed in Oreo and above.

Bluetooth Issue

Hi,
I have started using C9 Pro device since last 10 days. Since day one the I am facing issue with Bluetooth connection with my car audio.
The phone does not recognize the Bluetooth connection as music player (no response for FF, REV, Play/pause keys from audio player- AVRCP). I can able to make / receive calls over Bluetooth from car audio; however it works only for few days. After a week the phone / car audio player shows device is connected; however neither it works for making / receiving calls but also music player does not work.
I have contacted Samsung India; they told me to try safe mode, factory reset; however new device starts trouble on day one. They have even replaced my device without any respite.
My old device GT-I9300I (android 4.1) it was working as expected.
do any one had come across such trouble, your help will be much appreciated.
