I've got a strange bluetooth issue that started after the latest update. It happens with the sync in my wife's car and the HomeSpot bluetooth receiver in my car. It is mostly random, but I can count on it to happen every day immediately when I leave for work.
The phone will connect to bluetooth just fine and start playing music from google play. Then sudden the audio stream will switch from bluetooth to coming out of the phone speakers. When this happens the phone is still connected to bluetooth, just not sending the audio any longer. To fix it I have to disconnect from the bluetooth device and reconnect. It is starting to get real annoying, and I've already tried clearing my cache to no avail. I also tried turning off bluetooth in the location scanning settings and that didn't help either. Anybody have any clue?
Just had the same thing happen with my BT headset. Weird, I read this thread and said I never have issues, and then it happens...
Agree.. Also I am receiving a 'screech' noise sometimes while the music is playing..
So it looks like this is related to cast changes. When the audio starts coming through the phone instead of the car stereo the phone is still connected via bluetooth. If in google play music I stop casting and then select to start casting on my BT device again it starts working without me having to turn BT off and back on.
This is really annoying and I've sent google feedback via the play music app.
I'm also having weird Bluetooth issue. It sometimes doesn't turns off from notification screen. I've to manually go to Bluetooth settings and turn it off from there.

Hi,
Has anyone noticed the sound on A2DP dropping out? i.e. the player continues to play, and the bluetooth device is still connected - but the sound is nill.
Sometimes turning off/on bluetooth and connecting to the device is enough, but other times I've had to restart the phone.
Same issue on 3 different devices too...
No problem here using HBH-DS980.
I have the At&t Xperia Play, still completely stock, haven't had bootloader unlocked or installed any custom roms. Not sure if anyone else has been having these issues, I'm trying to figure out if my phone is defective or if the xperia plays have crappy bluetooth or maybe just the stock bluetooth is crap.
Anyways, I use my bluetooth to connect to the car stereo and stream music. The bluetooth on this phone never connects automatically. Sometimes it will connect for phone audio but not for media audio, I always have to go in and adjust it, or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on to get it to connect. Sometimes it just refuses to connect for anything until I turn bluetooth off and back on. My old Samsung Vibrant worked perfect, connected instantly no issues at all, even the Iphone 3gs had no issues and connected instantly. Another thing if/when the phone does connect, it takes awhile to connect, usually at least 30sec to a min before it connects.
Anyone have any suggestions or think the bluetooth radio on the phone may just be defective?
I have this issue when I'm using a music app like Spotify, & I stop it and turn it off, and turn Bluetooth off cuz I'm not listening to it anymore. And then when I turn bluetooth on again and a Bluetooth device connects to my phone it automatically starts up Spotify and start playing again even though I don't want it to. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there any way to prevent it from starting up and automatically playing the last app that was using bluetooth?
Hello,
I have noticed that since the security update I am having issues with my bluetooth. It will not automatically reconnect to paired devices like my car and headphones. Sometimes it will connect but the option to transmit phone/media audio is unselectable. When this happens, it appears to be connected, but the music will come from the phone, not bluetooth connection. The only solution I have found is to reboot my phone. Is anyone else having trouble with this? Totally stock.

I have been having the exact same issue and the only fix has been a reboot.

You're not alone. Seems there is a workaround.
I'm experiencing the same issue with any BT audio device it won't stay connected to my Android Wear.
What version? I'm on 25.211.1 reflashed modem and Bluetooth package things are fine so far.
Hi all
I'm having this strange (but really frustrating) Bluetooth bug on my Motorola Moto X Style (XT1572) with Android 6.0. I already tried restoring the Phone to factory settings and without any extra apps but the issue persists. It just suddenly started happening (about a month ago).
Nothing has changed in the bluetooth devices that I use with my Phone. I connect my car using Bluetooth and if I'm not in my car, I use a Bluetooth hands free kit to make and receive my Phone calls.
About a month ago my bluetooth started acting weird. When I'm in my car and want to make a Phone call, it starts the call on my Phone but then my car says that something went wrong and the call couldn't be initiated, although the call is continued on my phone. I do receive my text messages on my car and can also sent them but I'm unable to make/receive Phone calls.
When I receive Phone calls, they don't come up on my cars media. However, my Phone says its using Bluetooth for the call and the bluetooth connection is up. When I'm having this issue, I can not disconnect the Bluetooth connection with my car on my phone. It refuses to disconnect and I can not switch to any other Bluetooth device. The same goes when I'm having the issue while connected to my other Bluetooth hands free kit. In the advanced bluetooth settings of the bluetooth connection on my Phone, I also noticed that when the issue occurs all Bluetooth functionality is checked (eg. 'Media audio'), except 'Phone audio'. 'Phone audio' is not checked and it refuses to check it (however it's not greyed out). When I tap on 'Phone audio' in order to enable it, you see it getting checked for like a few microseconds and then it instantly gets unchecked again.
The only remedy I found is to power off and start my Phone again. Very frustrating if you want to make a quick Phone call and that you have to wait 5 minutes each time or if someone is trying to reach you but they can't hear you and they keep calling back while you try to press the power off button and drive your car . Why do I even have Bluetooth .
I've noticed that when I keep my Phone powered on at night and let it charge, the issue is present. If I recharge my Phone while it's powered of, pull out the power plug and then power on the Phone, there is no issue.
It seems to me that it has something to do with the update process...
Any idea how I can solve this issue?
Previously I did had other bluetooth issues like sudden switches between the phone's speaker and the bluetooth hands free (without any clear reason), it would just switch the bluetooth audio off and on again. So imagine, I'm calling someone with my hands free kit and suddenly the sound is gone. I grab my Phone and hear the other person talking, I continue the conversation using my phone's sound, then the sound is gone again and I need to continue with my handsfree. Other times when the phone said it was using bluetooth audio, it actually wasn't and I had to select 'Phone speaker' and then bluetooth audio again to get audio via bluetooth.
I don't think it has got anything to do with my car's bluetooth or my handsfree because the handsfree works flawlessly with my laptop and the car's bluetooth also works perfect with my partners Phone.
I have the same problem as you and i've never found a solution someone could help us please
Anyone?

So basically since the December security update that was released in February? Yeah, we know... some people seems to have issues with Bluetooth since then, but some people don't, not sure exactly why. In the Lenovo support forums there is even some mention of Bluetooth issues (although they come short of admitting there is a problem) on the latest update.
If a factory reset doesn't cure it, then you just have to wait... we don't have the factory firmware images for the latest release to reflash and downgrading is a questionable solution at best. Hopefully the factory images become available or the Nougat update actually gets released and one of those fixes it.
Sorry, that's the best I have for you... which is basically nothing.
