Bluetooth issues in car

Hello everyone, I am borrowing a oneplus 2 from a friend while my phone is in for repair, I have had it for about 12 hours now and have found an issue with the Bluetooth, when connected to my car (its a JVC aftermarket stereo) it loses connection every 30 seconds. I have tested the JVC with my girlfriends Sony xperia m2 aqua and it works flawlessly, has anyone else had this issue?? And if so, how did you fix this?
Thanks

Yeah I dont have connectivity issues but I don't get any audio controls through my car or song info. I think it is all software related issues.

I can report that the oneplus 2 have problems connecting to MB car audio system. Phonecalls work but music from the phone to the car don't work. It is a new MB c-class 250.

I also have BT problems with my car. My car has BT for phone calls only, so I also use a BT to 3.5mm adapter to my aux input. When I connect to both, it keeps pausing my music every 5 seconds. Once I disconnect from the car BT, then the music plays fine. Very annoying. No problems with any of my other phones.

@Mackis Haven't tested music on mine, but I have a 3 month old MB A180 special edition. Voice working 100% I use the usb port in the car and play music from the usb drive. Much better than bluetooth, you can change folders etc, were you cant on bluetooth!

I'm experiencing the same issues. I'm an authorized dealer for Volkswagen and Škoda and cross-tested several radios this morning. Very annoying.

I have a Clarion fz709 and the OPT works great with it on BT. The radio is old as dirt too. Works for calls and music.

Several issues on BT here, too. The connection to an Audi MMI and phoning working properly, but no audio controls or Phonebook synchronization. In a german board the app Bluetooth Phonebook is reported to solve the problem with the synchronization. Will check that later on today.

hi, i've bluetooth problems too. audio and calls are perfect, but my contacts are not transferred in the radio... this is so uncomfortable! anyone have same problem?

With my Ford Focus everything works fine!

These are two different issues with BT and car radio:
case 1: can not or not correctly sync contacts (in my case all numbers where labled 'mobile' and some where missing).
case 2: no support for audio control while playing or no playing at all
possible solution for case 1:

There may be a solution for case 2 but I do not know of any nor can I test it because the Parrot Asteroid (Android Car Radio) works without a problem for case 2.

thanks so much! with app everything is ok! thank you!

Hi,
with my Renault Megane 2010, the RadioSat, now, Works fine, after the update to 2.1 OxygenOs.
My Bluetooth problems gone away.
Now I have full functional hands free system. Tanks Oneplus.
Regards

Yes! I also can confirm my posting from Sunday, that the App Bluetooth Phonebook solves the issue of not transferring the phonebook (at least for my Audi MMI).

Problems with Volkswagen Discover Media Pro too:
- address book not syncing
- cannot play audio
- not able to make calls
however:
- i can see text messages (SMS)
- i can see the call list/history (obviously i only see telephone numbers, not the contact names, since the address book is not syncing)

My new Skoda Octavia isn't working with Oxygen OS 2.1.0. Connection works for 5 seconds and then the whole thing hangs. Good-news is that this is indeed software related as CM12.1 CustomRom from Garak works with Contacts/Spotify/Telephony

This will fix all your problems guys!

Indeed: different rom (SlimLP for me) works flawless. Calling, text messages, play music, everything.
Now let's see how stable it is and how the battery lasts.
I wonder if the build.prop fix mentioned above works. Hope we can get some confirmation about that. That would be a good alternative.

Phonebook sync doesnt work for me either, but music and controls do - no song infos, but my car never showed those. Kia ceed 2015.

Have you tried going to Bluetooth settings and making sure it is selected for music

Yes Gizmoe. Under settings it only has the following under "use for": Phone audio, Contact Sharing. Music is not an option. I also updated the BMW software to the latest code as well.
6P is rooted and running 6.0.0 currently!

Are you running on stock or on a custom rom? Have you tried stock 6.0.1 to see if it works? Could just be a limitation of the BMW software.

Looks like other phones are working just fine with it. I will try My iPhone and S5 later to see if they work. I know BMW has been finicky in the past with certain devices. Ill also update to 6.0.1 to see if that helps as i know some bluetooth changes were made in that update!
Ill report back once i do these checks.
Edit: Running Stock.

Bluetooth connectivity with car crashes Dialer/Bluetooth on phone call (AOSP)

Hey guys,
I recently picked up an Axon 7, wanting a device that can run AOSP ROMs. Everything is great, except for one major issue I'm having:
When I pair my car stereo to my phone via Bluetooth, it doesn't show any phone info (battery, signal), and when I make a phone call, it goes through the phone itself, the dialer freezes/crashes, and Bluetooth gets stuck until I force reboot. Media audio plays fine. When I go into Bluetooth, it switches between "Connected (no phone audio)" and "Connected", even though phone audio is turned on.
However, using my BT headset (LG HBS750/Tone Pro), I have absolutely no issues. I can make phone calls and play media just fine.
I tested this out on both LineageOS and AOSCP. My car is a 2016 Nissan Versa SV (with a stock Nissan stereo, supports bluetooth streaming audio). I know this isn't a problem with the stereo, it worked just fine with my Samsung Galaxy S6.
Any help is appreciated!

I'm so confused.
I just even tried completely factory resetting my stereo to default settings, and it's still not working. When I try to hit the handsfree phone button, it just says "Attempting to connect to your phone, please wait" followed by "No phone found". ...then it goes back to playing bluetooth media through the phone that it can't find.
EDIT: I'm also seeing that people on other phones with LineageOS 14.1 are having issues like this. Maybe it's an AOSP issue?

Maybe a los problem, but aosp problem not... I dont have the problem with an aosp rom.
Do you have phone audio enabled in bluetooth settings?

Sadly, haven't really found any solution to this yet. I've noticed that people with different phones on LineageOS started mentioning issues that sound like this one, so I'm going to try to see if I can file a bug report.

I "fixed" this by switching to Pure Nexus.

I have the same issue on LOS and RR, Stock B04 works fine
This is in basically every current model BMW

Try Pure Nexus or another AOSP-based (not LineageOS-based) ROM. I've been running Pure Nexus for a little over 2 weeks now with no car connectivity issues -- all works as it should. A lot of people running LineageOS on other devices are also reporting this issue.

Honda is making my bluetooth crash

I have an LG G6 US997 (unlocked) phone. The bluetooth works nearly flawlessly on my fairly low end stereo. But we bought a 2016 Honda Odyssey last year and now whenever I try to connect to bluetooth on that minivan it works for a few seconds and then my phone says something like, "Bluetooth service has stopped." Whenever I try to reconnect that just keeps happening. Is this a problem with my phone or a known issue with Honda Hands Free Link stuff? I want to say it used to work fine, but this just started a month or two ago.

Do you use Google Play Music? That's what causing the crash. Disable or uninstall the app.

Are you being serious? I do use Google Play Music. Is that actually a known issue/bug when combined with Honda?

It's a bug between the G6 and Google Play Music. I use YouTube Music for now. I'm hoping it'll be fixed by Oreo.

I've been using my US997 G6 via bluetooth with my 2017 Honda Ridgeline flawlessly for long periods during the past 3 months, so doesn't appear to be a hondalink issue.
But i don't use Google play music. I'll try to check that out tomorrow and report back.

I see, thanks for the info. I appreciate knowing where it's coming from, but that's disappointing on Google's part. I'll try removing Google Play and seeing if that helps the issue. Thanks again for the response, I never would have guessed that's the issue.

Hold on a second. This doesn't completely jive with my experience. I have a cheap aftermarket stereo in my Subaru (a Pioneer DEH-X7800BHS) and Google Play Music works just fine on my LG G6 US997 over bluetooth. So there is something about the combination with the Honda Hands Free Link system that is doing this, right?

Different devices will have different bluetooth stacks.
So it is completely possible that the low end device works fine but the Honda does not.

Well, I tried Google Play Music for about 10 minutes today in my Honda, and had no problems. Worked as nicely as Amazon Prime Music and Pocket Casts, the apps I use extensively via bluetooth in the vehicle.
Sorry if this just muddies the water.

That's awesome. Maybe Honda upgraded their Bluetooth for 2017.
I have crashing issues with my 2015 Odyssey and 2016 Acura RDX. Works great with YouTube Music, Spotify and Pandora.
I have no problem with Essential phone, S8 or Nexus 5X.

Today I uninstalled the updates for Google Play Music (it seems to be one I can't truly uninstall) and tried Spotify with the 2016 Honda Odyssey. It worked like a charm. It looks like Google Play Music + LG G6 + Honda (<2017?) is the "winning" combination.

Hi !
7 month later I face the exact same problem .. trying to listen to google play music on my G6 through my honda civic tourer bluetooth system crashes the phones bluetooth ..
Strangely enough one month ago with my LG Q8 I had absolutely no problem.
Now that's weird ..

On the plus side it sounds like Google will be phasing out Google Play Music and moving to YouTube Music instead, although it'll take a year or so to complete the transition.

Today I tried to uninstall google play music updates and reverted back to stock version that came with my phone. No problem since then .. keeping fingers crossed.
Seems related to some google update ..
Edit: it worked fine for a few days then for no reason it started to crash again. Clueless.

Tried spotify, it did not work neither. If I unselect "audio media" in the bluetooth settings, the G6 will connect and not fail, and I can use the phone over bluetooth.
I created a btsnoop_hci.log but it would need an expert to analyse this file ! I opened it with wireshark but I don't know anything about bluetooth protocol ....

Xiaomi Mi A1 Bluetooth not displaying status of the music

When I pair my Mi A1 with my car via Bluetooth and play music, my car won't display status information of the music (title, artist, album ...). This is definitely Mi A1's problem because my Nexus 5X has no issues at all with the same music APP. And I've tried different music APPs on Mi A1 and they behaved all the same.
After some google and I found that it requires the Bluetooth to support AVRCP profile (version 1.3 and above) in order to show the music information. And some old Bluetooth chips do not support it, like Qualcomm CSR8610 for example.
And I was wondering if this is a common problem? If so, is this a software bug that we can hope Xiaomi could fix it in the future patches, or that the hardware simply doesn't support it and I should give up the hope.
------------Update---------------
Just upgraded to Android 8 and the problem is solved!!

It works perfectly with my pioneer head unit. Shows all the artist, song, etc info.

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue with my VW Scirocco from 2011.
It was working perfectly with with MI5.
Is there any official way to submit those kind of issues to XIAOMI ?

XIAOMI does have an official forum, but I don't how responsive it is. I have used the phone's built-in feedback app to submit the issue.
