Bluetooth music streaming problem - LG V20 Questions & Answers

I'm seeming to have an issue when it comes to my car and listening to Spotify with my new V20. My phone will connect to the bluetooth which I want it to do but if its connected it wont play music through the headphones. I have to turn off bluetooth. Is there a way not have bluetooth override the headphone audio?

If you go into settings -> Bluetooth and click the gear icon next to your car in paired devices, you should see both a "Call audio" and "Media Audio" profile enabled.
Try disabling "Media audio" and see if that fixes the problem.

Blueooth wireless stereo during phone call

Is there any way to stream phone calls using the wireless stereo profile? Whenever a call comes in I have to used the speaker on the handset instead of just using the actual bluetooth speakers that I have music streaming to. So what I would like to do is have is have audio from my phone call stream to the speakers will using the speaker phone. Possible??
ok, let me understand this...
you have BT stereo headset, correct?
Which ones?
I use the Moto S9 stereo headset and when a call comes in, the music stops, and I get BT audio over the headset just as if it was a normal BT mono headset

No I have a insignia bluetooth adapter for ipod dock. I have my ipod hooked up in my car and it streams audio from my phone but when a call comes in it switches back to the phone's speaker. I want it to continue stream all audio even if it has to mute the music to let the audio for the call come through. I want to here the person calling me streaming through my car speakers.

probably because the BT adapter doesn't have the "Handsfree" profile, it most likely only has "Wireless Stereo" profile. On your phone, go into settings > connections > bluetooth and find the device on the lilst, click-n-hold the device name to bring up the menu, select edit. What profiles are listed?

there's you problem...
BT has several profiles, Handsfree, Wireless Stereo, PAN, File Sharing, etc...
Each device must be able to handle the different types of profiles to do the specific task. The problem is, the manufactuirer of the device only puts in the profiles that are needed for that type of device. So in your case, it was never designed to be used in that manner, hence they never bulit in the "Handsfree" profile.
My S9 Bluetooth stereo headset was designed to be able to produce stereo audio AND be able to recieve calls, therefore it has both "Wireless Stereo" and "Handsfree" profiles.
The Insignia NS-BTHDP stereo bluetooth headset has music and phone calls in stereo and its cheaper than the s9.

I read both threads and the wiki....got nothing from it. Am I missing something? The only thing that shows up in my bluetooth menu is the wireless stereo profile. I'm trying to get both music and phone calls to stream while using the microphone on the phone. If I'm mising some please let me know
Me too
I've a Motorola Q and a "Stereo Headset" device that allows me to listen to media audio, dialing and tones on my car stereo. However, I cannot get the audio of a phone call to go through this device.
I also would like to choose what microphone and what speaker is being used when on a call, especially for the hour-long teleconferences I participate in at least twice a week during rush hour traffic.

[Q] How do you change "media audio" profile

I recently connected my Nexus 7 to a bluetooth module connected to my stereo but when turned off the bluetooth I could no longer figure out how to get the sound to come back to the tablet speakers. I can see a check box in the bluetooth settings for "media audio" but when I uncheck this it still doesn't work.
I am able to use my headphones. When I unplug them in the sound automatically returns to the bluetooth. Does anyone have any ideas?
Is nobody smart enough? Lol, all joking aside any ideas? I tuned it off and back on and the speakers are now on.

Bluetooth A2DP problem -- not playing through headset

Hi folks, I've been having this very frustrating problem with A2DP that I can't seem to find anywhere else on the forums.
My bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-905i) connects to my nexus 4 just fine, and I've been using it to listen to music since I get my nexus in january. But recently, every time I connect my headset, and I go to play any music or other sounds that play through the media channel, it comes out the speaker on the phone. In addition, when I use the volume slider I get the "speaker" icon instead of the "bluetooth" icon that I used to get.
My bluetooth headset has worked fine since the OTA update, it's just very recently (last week or two) that this issue has been happening.
The first time it happened, a simple reboot would fix it, now I can reboot and re-pair the headset all I want, it just won't work.
Has anyone else had this issue?
PS. I will also add that the next/previous track buttons still work, but the play/pause button DOES NOT! Very strange!!!
Am I seriously the only one with this problem?

What music player app are you using? That could be the problem right there. I sometimes have this problem with my JVC Arsenal head unit, but usually disabling and re-enabling bluetooth does the trick. Don't have to unpair or reboot, just toggle BT on and off.
Anyone know how to get the track info to transmit? It used to work with Apollo and Pandora, but it won't work with Spotify or anything else. In fact, it doesn't work at all on the N4
I use DSub, but I've tried google music, and also any other "media" sounds don't go through the headset as well ie: Youtube, games, etc.

have you checked the device profiles in the bluetooth menu? there is an option for phone audio, and an option for media audio, check them both
Yes I'm sure, I've also toggled them multiple times to try and get it working...
I also have this same problem. I'm using CM 10.1 nightlies
For some reason I able to pair my phone but not the audio.
In the Bluetooth settings though I only have the option for phone audio and not media audio. After checking on a couple of forums, it shows that my radio does support Bluetooth streaming through a2dp, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on my phone...
Edit:
It seems as though A2DP is broken in CM 10.1 as in stock android roms. I'm not 100% about this, but thats what it looks like.
Hi,
I do use AD2P audio a lot, and never had this issue (Sony MW1).
I m using exclusively AOSP or AOKP based roms (never use stock CM 10.1 because of how silly big is the navbar), but I can give it a shot during my next flashing session for testing
I don't have any problem pairing the audio. The checkbox goes and the headset actually beeps. It's connected, android just isn't sending the audio to the headset.

I've got the same issue.
I have tried with both jawbone and jabra headsets, no joy.
If I toggle bt on/off/on, connect the headset and then try playing music immediately I get ~1 second of audio over bluetooth before it goes silent.
I'm currently on PA 3.15 with moles kernel, but am going to try some other kernel/rom combos.
if anyone knows which logs i should be looking at i'm happy to upload them
Not quite the same problem, my music plays out of the phone speaker. Also I'm running stock rom.

If i wait more than 1 or 2 seconds after connecting my headset it comes out of the speaker also, as the bt media connection dies. I only get the little bit of audio if i hit play right after I connect the headset
I managed to find a very strange work around...
I installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5tYXhpc3Rhci5tb25vYmx1ZXRvb3RoZnJlZSJd
I turned on the app, and I could listen to music over mono mode (which sounds AWFUL). I then turned the app off, and when I changed the volume with the volume buttons I noticed the volume bar was displaying the bluetooth icon instead of the speaker icon.
My app was playing music, I didn't hear anything, but my headset was still outputting the characteristic 'hiss' of being in mono mode. So I went into the bluetooth settings and turned off mono mode, and now it is playing music through A2DP finally... We'll see if this problem occurs again and I'll see if the same process fixes it again. I'm just glad it's finally working again without resetting my phone.
I just wanted to update my post for anyone else who might have this problem in the future. I've performed this fix once before my last post and I haven't had to do it again, I've also uninstalled that app and everything is still working great.
It worked for me too!
Thanks to PickleHead and his workaround I'm listening again.
Thanks!!!
Media audio VS. Call Audio
Hi,
I have Samsung galaxy S3 with android 4.1.2 connected to my fordAudio BT device.
I am playing music using the original media player that came with the Android.
The BT connects quickly, but I can't hear the media I'm playing.
Recently I have discovered a "workaround":
When I disable the "call audio" (using the BT menu in settings) and leaves only the "media audio" checked, I am able to hear the media play.
If I re-enables the "call audio", the sound mutes immediately.
Does this helps to understand the issue?

I'm having exactly the problem described here, but this solution doesn't work for me. I have a Galaxy S4 and the bluetooth media audio sometimes works when I boot the phone up, but later it doesn't work. I tried this MonoBluetooth app and it doesn't seem to help. When I tell it to turn on the the mono signal, it says the media is disconnected even though the bluetooth module says it is connected to the AD2P device with media audio. On cases where it does connect, it seems to work, but in that case the bluetooth works with out this app fine.
I'm running 4.2.2 and see this on both the MDK and ME7 code base. I'm looking for a good soluton. I tried the Bluetooth Fix Repair on Google Play, but it can't seem to find my bluetooth configuration folders.

I have had exactly this problem for a couple of days with my S4 connected to my Jabra Freeway car speaker. Also in my case, disabling call audio makes the music pass through, but then I can't use the phone via the speaker which is sort of the whole purpose of the thing!
But I just found a simple workaround: I simply called my phone from another phone to check that phone audio passed through with both options enabled. It did. But it also cured the problem: After the call, media audio worked again - with both options checked.

I'd be interested to know if this fixes the problem for any length of time. Occasionally, and usually after a reboot, I can use the media audio, but then it fails when I try it again. Fiddling with the connections and apps sometimes makes it come back on, but usually only for a short while. While it is connected, it seems to stay connected.

Multiple Bluetooth Audio Devices

Phone connects to my car via bluetooth for calls only as headunit doesn't do audio.
I want to add a bluetooth receiver to the car for audio (belkin bluetooth caraudio connect) while still be able to use my headunit for calls.
Is this possible? Or will the phone only allow one audio device at a time?
I would only be using one audio device at a time, but they would both need to be constantly connected
Did you double check that audio is enabled for your car bluetooth? In the N4's settings.
And after trying, I can't get 2 BT devices to connect at the same time.
I have 2 bluetooth devices currently connected to my N4, jabra wave headset for phone audio and jambox for media audio, works perfectly. Just have to go into the bluetooth profiles for each and disable the audio you don't want (ie phone audio for headunit, and media audio for belkin) Not 100% sure it will work with your devices, but certainly can be done with some.

[Q] Can you change Bluetooth profiles?

Hello, I have a pair of bluetooth speakers that I've paired with my s4 and it plays music fine. Now, i also have a headset (turtle beach px4) that is also bluetooth, however when i pair it with my s4, it says under "profile" ; "connected to phone audio" and will not play music. How can i change the profile so that my headset will play music?
