Odd Bluetooth audio condition. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bluetooth works great for me in my car for the most part. I am running the m build rooted and unlocked with a keyboard hiding tool and dpi changer all from the play Store. Bluetooth will connect with no issue, display correctly on my car display and play music but all other sounds stop, system, notifications and so on but calls do make noise. Once I disconnect from Bluetooth this issue persist and if I try to play music I hear nothing from the speaker, if I press the volume control it pops up top with the Bluetooth symbol even though I'm disconnected. If I leave Bluetooth off and restart the phone everything works perfectly and as soon as I connect to Bluetooth its right back to the issue. I can't quite figure this one out.

I was able to reproduce the issue 3 times yesterday, as well as now being aware why my sound was missing the day before. Oddly though today it didn't happen.

Bluetooth skipping? Try this...temp fix for me! Weird...

So I noticed too that my bluetooth seemed extremely bork. I use a Vizio S4251W soundbar and my music has never skipped on any phone until this phone. It started fine then once lyrics popped in it started skipping. I was like wtf? Never happened so I restarted the sound bar. Still happened. Rebooted phone, same thing. Then I started jamming Rush's A Farewell to Kings album and it TOO skipped! I was trying to listen to music while I was cleaning dishes for the girly and then I stumbled upon something...
I accidentally turned the bluetooth media volume down and noticed it started skipping less. Then I turned it down another notch and it stopped skipping entirely...
I then turnes the SOUNDBAR volume up a little to compensate and noticed that the phone put at FULL volume on bluetooth then MINUS 5 down was the SAME "volume" through the soundbar as my Galaxy S3 at FULL bluetooth volume when I connected it right after.
Is the Nexus 6P bluetooth just pushing sound beyond the standard volume and causing it to break up? Its like pushing too many watts through a speaker that cant handle it. They pop. I also noticed my phone was warm while using bluetooth. My 6P has never gotten warm.
So again the steps are, connect to bluetooth "stereo whatever you have", start music, turn volume on phone allll the way up, then back it down 5 notches and see if it skips.
Let me know what happens!
My music is not skipping but my jabra Bluetooth unit keeps on turning off BT. Not sure if it's my jabra unit or the phone BT. I've used other Bluetooth devices with my phone but nothing else turns off. I'm hoping it's the jabra.

Have you got Google Now set up to be able to be called from any screen? This is known to cause similar issues.

After disconnecting Bluetooth, Audio won't play off speaker

So I'm miffed! My brand new baby is giving me a Bluetooth nightmare. After I use it with Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 headset and disconnect the Bluetooth (even if I switch off Bluetooth), phone audio won't come thru the regular speaker. However, if I switch on the speakerphone, then audio works.
A restart fixes the problem. But it is super annoying. Anyone else experience the issue? Do you guys have an idea of how to fix this?
Until this, I've been super happy with my white 128GB baby!
You aren't crazy, I've had some similar problems. if you notice, when this issue is active and you try to turn your volume up, it'll show BT volume being changed instead of regular. For me, I can usually toggle BT on and off again to get it back to normal.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This also works for me. Still annoying though.
I don't know the tech verbiage perhaps a developer is best equipped however:
1. Connecting Bluetooth seems to cause the system to act stupid. I had found a video through MyVidSter which took me to Pornhub while on the toilet I figured I'd let it download as I proceeded to brush my teeth and take a shower (fresh, beautiful, and clean)
2. Next I connect my Bluetooth headsets and go to playback my video and it stalls gives error can't play.
3. Turn off device restart
4. WHAM, it finally can play the same video it couldn't just a moment ago.
5.I then disconnected and noticed my sound wasn't there when I went to YouTube to listen to a Formation.
6. I tried PowerAmp and the strangest thing the file played the song at like 256x very sped up! I could see the scrub bar moving along very fast!! No sound or video would play on YouTube or my photo gallery
7. I finally go to setting power on Bluetooth toggle for a few seconds then turned it off and finally videos sound and music without would play again.
8. My daddy Alabama.. Momma Louisiana... You mix that Creole with that negro make a Texas baaaammaaa

Having the same issue with LG HBS-810 Headset. If I turn off the headphones before I turn off Bluetooth on my phone, it's OK. If I turn off Bluetooth on my phone first, then no sound. Also, If I turn on the headphones first, then Bluetooth on my phone, they will not connect until I turn off and back on my headphones.
I seem to have the same issue on my Nexus 7 (2013) with Android 6.0.1, so I think it's a 6.0.1 bug.

No Bluetooth after call....?

Wierd issue. Use to work but not now. When I'm on Bluetooth and take or make a phone call on Bluetooth... And then after the call try and play media through Bluetooth, it won't have sound. Max volume. Shows as playing. But nothing. Not even through phone speaker. It's as if the dialer app didn't release the Bluetooth control after the call.
Only way to fix is to turn off Bluetooth and back on.
Anyway to fix?
I had this happen once or twice, but not recently. I use bluetooth in my car but my factory radio in my car only has BT for calls, not music. I have a small A2DP device that plays music through the AUX in on the radio. A few times if I took a call via BT for the car, when the call ended the music wouldn't resume. I'd go to Spotify and it showed as playing but no sound came out. I never tried resetting bluetooth because when I'm driving it's easier to just hold power until the phone reboots, then it works fine.
mine does it when I'm using the amazon music player, doesn't matter if I'm on a call or not. Every now and then it just stops sending audio to the radio. If I turn the phone on, the lockscreen shows that the song is playing, but zero audio.
If I pause / play / pause on the lockscreen it usually resumes playing. Very odd issue. Still better than the problems I was having with my note4.
I've seen this issue on android for years. I'll have the same issue if I say Okay Google and Google doesn't recognize what I say.

Low audio volume after finished using bluetooth and turning it off

Did a search and didn't see this problem discussed...
My Moto X Pure has great audio volume by itself through its own speakers, until...
My problems arise after turning on bluetooth, connecting to something such as my car's radio or my Vizio bluetooth sound bar, listening to music a little bit or even a while and then turning off bluetooth and just using my phone normally. When I return to using my phone normally, my audio is so low. I can barely hear any notifications, lock/unlock sounds, music, etc. All volume sliders are still turned all the way up but still, low audio.
Again, this only happens after I've used bluetooth audio, stopped using it and returned to regular phone speaker operation.
The only fix I've found, and it's not a fix obviously, is to reboot the phone. Audio is back to normal, loud after the reboot. But then connect it via bluetooth to something and play music, stop, turn off bluetooth, the audio is once again verrrryyyyy low even though all volume sliders are all the way up.
Anyone else having this problem?
Android 6.0.0 here.

Nexus 6p Bluetooth Issues

TL;DR I LOVE my phone, these Bluetooth issues are going to make me smash it into a million pieces. Any custom rom's or fixes for the OEM rom that FIXES them once and for all? I had NONE of these issues on Android 5 on my old phone. A factory fresh phone with no added apps is STILL unstable.
Long read:
I pre-ordered the 6P and have had a mixed relationship with it the past 6 months, the thing pissing me off most is the Bluetooth on this thing.
I DID install MHC19I and it did not help, with anything.
Here's what's happening.
#1 I have a Moto 360 watch that drops bluetooth connection and when it restores, google voice search on the watch remains broken until I restart the phone. This was not an issue on my old phone.
#2 I also am having hell with headsets/speakers. I will be listening to a speaker, get a call, and the damn music doesn't pause and starts playing over the headset AFTER I answer the call, this isn't everytime, but it happens enough to piss me off.
#3 When I hang up the call, the sound does not always go back to the speaker, it says it is, but I hear nothing OR it says it is, and I hear the music coming from the phone. Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify. I have to go into bluetooth settings and force a reconnect. This is happening in my Car, in my house with my Yamaha BT receiver, with a Logitech BT adapter, and a jbl bluetooth speaker.
#4 Sometimes when I first reconnect to the speaker after being out of range, the sound stays at the phone even though it says the speaker is connected.
#5 Just can not keep a stable connection with my 2016 Acadia. The phone has locked up on multiple occasions when either making or receiving phone calls through the car. "Phone has stopped" or something like that.
I upgraded to Android N in an attempt to improve my situation in the least and I don't know what I expected. It's way worse.
Compound all the issues above with:
#1 Delayed notifications to my watch (it starts vibrating to notify me of a call AFTER my ringer has already been ringing 30 seconds)
#2 "mute phone calls on the phone" when connected to watch is broken (The ringer goes off no matter how many times I flip the setting on and off)
#3 It stops broadcasting the playing song information to the display via bluetooth to my car or receiver FREQUENTLY
#4 Answering a phone call via bluetooth occasionally locks up requiring a disconnection from the headset and then I can proceed with the call on the phone.
#5 It either doesn't send the audio to the headset and/or the bluetooth and watch controls lock up (can't change song or control volume, but the music continues playing fine.)
#6 The BIGGEST issue was my 2013, and now my 2016 GMC Acadia. I am going to crash it one of these days with all the dicking around I am doing with the phone when trying to listen to music or take a phone call.
Anyone? I am seriously contemplating giving up EVERYTHING I like about android and getting an iPhone JUST because of these Bluetooth issues (which DO NOT exist on the iPhone 6s).
I solved all my bluetooth issues by turning bluetooth volume all the way up, then turning it down 4 steps from full volume. No drop outs or disconnects from anything since!
I think you must have a defective phone. I have zero problems with Bluetooth on the 6p and I have 10+ Bluetooth devices I use at least 3 of them daily.
Sorry you're having trouble...
I completely factory reset my phone. NO third party apps. Running MHC19I. Music has been fine all day, phone calls are still a problem.
I dial a number, it say's dialing, but I never hear it ringing in my headset. Then the caller picks up and the call timer starts counting. I can clearly see it says it's sending audio via bluetooth and I hear NOTHING. Same on my car shows it's being sent to the radio, but the radio never get's the clue. It works when it wants too, and a restart of the phone always fixes it when it isn't working. It's very frustrating.
I think u might have a defective device BC I'm not experience any of these with my Bluetooth headset. And I'm Stock on MHC19i also .. Sorry u having these bad experiences.
