With the final Oreo final, is anyone still having the BT issues from DP4? I think the issues still exist for me (playing music over BT in the car) but so far, simply turning the bluetooth off and then back on seems to fix it; this was not the case during DP4.
Yes, lots of issues with BT audio in the car for me. Doesn't work at all.
BMW 2-series, 2017
I'm trying wiping the phone entirely to see if that'll fix it.
Yeah, it auto connects to my head unit but doesn't play audio. Opening up Bluetooth, it shows the name of the head unit and says "connected (no audio)".
I have to unpair from my head unit and re-pair. Then it works normally.
Still annoying.
@ dan_delaney - yep having problems on the same car!

May be an isolated issue related to the new audio codec. Everything is working the same for me in all my cars. I would dig around in Dev Settings and try toggling some of the BT audio settings. There are at least 6 BT settings and a BT logging tool there. For example, under BT Audio Codec there are MANY different codecs to choose from. Mine is using the default SBC now. I would start there. May be an easy fix. You may also RTFM (haha) and see which BT audio codec is preferred by this BMW head unit. @dan_delaney

my bluetooth will pair with phones and headsets but will not connect for file transfer
Might just be me (but I doubt it)...I haven't seen an Android build yet that had OBEX. Check the changelog and feature list for your particular upgrade and see if that was offered.
I have had issues with the bluetooth as well. I bought a Motorola s705 for streaming music/speakerphone in my car. For some reason, the sound quality is CRAP and it 'hiccups' every 30 seconds or so. I tried the same device with my wife's t-mobile shadow (htc juno) running WinMo... Worked beautifully.
I'm using the .26I radio, but seriously considering going back to the old radio to see if it improves performance.
I also just tried to pair and do file transfer with my friends Blackberry and failed as well. I think beartard is right... No OBEX.
I am having issues as well. My Pioneer car stereo supports A2DP, and all is well when the thing is paired, but next time I go to use it, I get connection "Error" when connecting either HFP or A2DP. Disabling stereo bluetooth on the stereo seemed to fix HFP, but I want my Stereo bluetooth.....
Have others had much luck with A2DP?
hey thanks for the replies guys but i was looking for some answers haha
AFAIK, only A2DP and AVRCP was added in Android 1.5, so no big wonder file transfer wont work...
A2DP works like a charm with my A2DP headset - haven't tried with other devices.

Stereo Bluetooth skipping issues
If streaming music via bluetooth is skipping, turn off your wifi and that will fix your problem. I was having major anxiety over this, but found the answer last night searching forums. I tried it out and my music has not skipped since. I stream music to my car stereo and it is excellent now that I've turned my wifi off.
Had issues with Froyo and streaming to my car's Parrot MK6100 handsfree. Audio would cut and then skip. I switched back to the older radio (and broke video recording ATM) but now streaming works great again. This was a real show stopper for me so now that it's fixed I'm happy again.
I opened a seperate thread so this does not get lost in the radio thread in case someone else can use this info.

That's interesting. I'm using FroYo, with the updated radio (4.06.00.12_7) and haven't had any of the issues that others have been having with the new radio . I use a Motorola S9-HD bluetooth headset and haven't had any issues with call quality or streaming music.
I haven't had any problems with my Pioneer head unit in my car, either. Works perfectly.

same with my sony unit, no problems at all
The new radio is much better for me with A2DP.. I could only get it to connect about 1 time in 3 with the old one (causing much frustrated switching on and off of bluetooth until it worked) and now it works 95% of the time.
Well, streaming to my BT headphones was OK with both radios so I guess it's some incompatibility between the N1 and the Parrot MK6100... It would seem to me as if their sampling rathe was incompatible, causing buffer overrun or underrun (it would happen at fixed intervals). Guess the MK6100 is to be blamed (last time I am buying Parrot products anyway).
Other than that - no issues with any of the radios.
Hey all,
I tried pairing my Xoom with my 2010 VW GTI, so I could play my music files through my stereo, but I couldnt get it to work. Under Bluetooth settings, it shows "Connected to media audio," but when I play music, I get nothing on my stereo. I've tried unpairing and re-connecting, rebooting my device, but no go. Has anyone else had issues with audio playing through bluetooth in their car?
not with the xoom but what i noticed is that your bluetooth software that is in the car would go flaky and in some cars wouldnt even work. not even simple contact list syncing.
i therefore tend to say that the software in the car is prolly causing the issues.
In the 2010 model, it doesn't sync the contact list, or show the currently playing artist/title on the display. It is basically just a BT headset. I tether my Incredible to the car all the time without issue (oh, and yes I made sure the Xoom was synched, not the INC).
Hey all,
Ever since opting into the Android O beta, my Nexus 6p has been working fine, except for connected to my car via BT. It connects, but just shows 'Unknown Artist' for any kind of track info, and if I switch playback apps (for instance, from Pocketcasts to Google Play Music), my phone disconnects from the car for a second or two, connects again, and still doesn't work. The car in question is a 2016 Mini Cooper S. Anyone else seeing issues like this? Works fine on 7.1.2.
ive got the same issue vw polo. audio plays via bluetooth but no artist info it just shows im connected to 6P and skip track controls dont work just mute and volume
Yeah, I don't even get audio. Nothing actually plays, car displays "unknown artist".
I have this as well on a 2017 toyota, calls etc work fine, just music dips out

Thanks for the setting tips, I'll try them out tomorrow and report back.
No luck, same issue persists. I even tried usb-c to usb-a, but my Mini doesn't recognize it as an audio device that way Time to get a new head unit possibly.
No luck, still 'unknown artist' and no audio, even though my phone thinks it's connected and playing.

Do you have this issue on 7.1.2 as well? Don't forget Android O is still in "beta" and I wouldn't be surprised if the BT is a little screwy still.

Everything works fine on 7.1.2, I had to decide what was more important: working car audio or a much faster OS experience. Hopefully this is something that's either fixed in the release of O, or something my car manufacturer can patch into their system.
Not sure if this will help but my car seems to have pretty good luck with this technique and BMW/Mini ICE systems are similar. I use the aac codec keeping everything else default. I've had the issue a well where it's playing on my phone but not the car; the info also doesn't show. Restarting the phone right before starting the car or soon after seems to be relatively effective as it would then connect after the restarts and actually play the music correctly and show the info.
Not the best solution but hopefully this ends after the final is released.
Hi! I hope this helps. It seem like changing the setting (unchecking) for AAC audio helps with the issue. This seems to be a new feature in Oreo, so go to Bluetooth settings and in the little gear next to device it will popup with a couple of options, uncheck AAC.
Hello everyone. I am enjoying my s10+. I don't have any issues with it except for one. I can't get Bluetooth audio to activate on my jvc double din in my car. The model is kw-340bt. On my pixel 3 xl it works with no problem. My s10+ can connect to the unit but it only lets me make phone calls. When I go to it in Bluetooth settings the audio option is off. When I try to turn it on it attempts to turn on then turns off. It will not come on. I have even reset my unit to factory settings and still the same thing happens. Does anyone have any other options I can try?
Yeah I'm having trouble myself with my ps4 controller, it connects but doesnt do anything! And even if I turn off the bluetooth it doesnt disconnect! What hell Samsung. It's so bad I have to force close / clear and data/ cache on bluetooth system app.
This happened to someone I knew when they used smart switch upgrading from their S5 to the S8+and moved over their settings. Unfortunately a factory reset was all they could find to fix it.
This may sound weird but I had problems getting my TV to connect. I had to go through the new Smartthings app, look for nearby devices. When I tapped on the TV it downloaded something and then I could connect.
Audio track data not updating on Bluetooth car audio head unit
Same. My previous phone (LG V20) was a breeze to connect via Bluetooth to car audio (Subaru Impreza MY15) & happily displayed the track information for my audio collection.
Fast forward to the new S10+ (exynos) & while it connects for audio, track information is only displayed for the first track & remains on-screen without change.
I've gone into developer options, and while I can change the Bluetooth AVRCP Versions from AVRCP 1.3, AVRCP 1.4 (default), AVRCP 1.5 & AVRCP 1.6, the Bluetooth Audio Codec Selection always defaults back to SBC.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Better yet, does anyone have a fix that I could apply???

Every phone that I have ever had always goes back to default with the audio options. I never understood why. They give you options but you can't use the options. Makes no sense.
