Changing audio output? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello, I need help with something...
I remember earlier on my S8, whenever a bluetooth device or a dex station is connected, there is a notification about switching audio (from phone or from media devices)...
If my devices isn't connected to dex station, it is located above (IIRC, below the brightness slider).
I just bought a headphone just now, and just realized the options had gone (and from my dex as well)...
Anybody knows how to turn those options on again?

Did you install any other apps recently? I mean any app that uses Bluetooth or audio?

No, I don't think so...
Do you still have those notifications bar? I'm on the verge of telling myself that this is caused by a software update from Samsung..
EDIT:
It finally shows up again!!
I uninstalled my samsung connect app and re-update it from the galaxy store version.
The samsung connect notifications comes up again!

Bluetooth MAP profile

The galaxy S3 has Bluetooth 4.0 , so it should have Bluetooth MAP right? My messaging is not working at all on my 2012 charger UConnect 8.4nav system (beats). I have heard that CM 7 has implemented it. What are the chances the SGS3 could get that put in by Samsung if it's not already there? If the SGS3 does have Bluetooth MAP how do I get it to work?

move this post to the new questions thread please.
Hopefully a Dev can add this to one of their roms but this unadresses issue will never get seen if this is not moved to the active section.

This isn't terribly helpful, but...
The Galaxy S III runs a Bluetooth MAP service and a message notification service. It also asked me for permission to access these services when I first paired (but I have not yet tested the MAP functionality).
It should work, and I would start by re-pairing and paying attention to the window prompts that come up.
messaging access profile not requested.
I tried pairing again looking for a popup that mentions messaging. the popup only asks for permissions for contacts and music. Messaging is never mentioned.
o I deleted the phone on the car stereo.
o I unpaired the stereo on the phone.
o I attempted to pair from the stereo but the stereo
automatically gives a pass code and tells you to
continue on the phone.
I'm using the standard messaging app, Are you using the AT&T messaging app?
What stereo are you getting it to work with?

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing Every Time I Use it

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but every time I turn on my bluetooth headset, I need to pair it. Have never had this issue with any of my other phones. Any ideas? My phone is stock, rooted with tethering hacked. I have disabled some bloatware, but nothing related to bluetooth or connectivity. Is it possible bluetooth is somehow connected to some stock LG Bloatware I am not aware of? thanks all!
I too experiened the same problem a while back till I installed "bluetooth auto connect" (free from google play store).
Hope this info is helpful to you.

Help paring will not connect to audio just phone works.
My LG G2 will not stream music to my car. The phone Bluetooth works just fine. When I move to connect to the media streaming the car say no Bluetooth audio device connected. The car is a Mercedes E 350 2010. I had a nexus 4 also an LG phone and I had no issues streaming. I am aware of the menu that you can get to check the boxes for phone audio and media audio. I have tried every option I can think of with no luck yet. So far I unpaired the device, I factory rest the phone all to no avail. When I attempt to pair just the Bluetooth media to the car the car asks me to up in the pass code and I do then the phone asks for the same code. This lets me know that the 2 devices are communicating. Once I have entered the pass code the car says connecting….. then is says connection to Bluetooth media device unsuccessful called LG T-Mobile and Mercedes and not one of them has any idea that was helpful or I had not tried yet. . I am rooted but running stock. Have 2 headsets that both work fine streaming music. Any ideas would help.

Tried resetting the car radio? My alpine will only store info for 3 devices then it will ask for that code and won't connect until at least one spot is cleared.

Not a bad idea. It is a stock system so I will look up how to reset if that's an option.

If you can't figure out how to reset radio, disconnect your car battery for a minute then hook it back up, should clear its memory

Problem solved. Both my Ipad and LG G2 needed the set up to be requested from the car. You must use the cars external authorization set up process not the normal way you sync your phone to make calls.

[Q] Help with Bluetooth

Hi Guys,
i recently upgraded my S4 to a S5
My S4 connected to my car stereo as phone and as multimedia device, but my new s5 just wont connect as multimedia device.
It functions fine as telephone, but i cant get the multimedia option checked.
Is there some hidden option somewhere i'm missing ?.
I didn't have to do anything special for my S4 to connect as multimedia device.

Unfortunately you didn't give us any details of how you tried to pair your stereo to your phone. So we have nothing to work with, no way to point out a missed step or error.
Did you choose the appropriate pairing mode in your stereo menu? If you have continued difficulties, you should tell us what model your stereo is, your S5 firmware version and a detailed description of the steps you tried.

Unless your car stereo is A2DP compliant your phone wont use it for multimedia. Check that out.
This is driving me crazy.
I've spend a couple of hours now in the car trying everything i can think of.
A google search learned that I'm not the only one with this problem.
Clearing the Bluetooth cache didn't help, i installed this app but that didn't work also.
I popped my sim back into my old s4 and it connects perfectly as both phone and multimedia device, allowing me to play music from my phone on the car stereo system.
The car is a Toyota Prius 2012.
I've attached the specs of my new S5.
The S5 only connects as phone and not as multimedia device.
I also experienced BT trouble with S5 in my wife's Prius 2012. My iPhone connects with no problems, phone, multimedia, internet.
I tried to share S5's Internet but after asking/reading here found out that a vital file is missing, /system/bin/pand.
The reason why you don't get MM connection could be similar.

I copied a pand file (and the libbluetoothd.so) from a cyanogenmod image. it didn't help.
doing a logcat |grep bluetooth i noticed the following:
whenever i try to activate a mm connection from the phone to the car i get this line twice in the log file:
V/BluetoothEventManager(12390): Recieved android.bluetooth.a2dp.profile.action.CONNECTION_STATE_CHANGED
Since it's always twice, i think that it activates and immediately deactivates the a2dp connection to the car. looks like a programming error where you cant have 2 active bluetooth connections at the same time.
Hope they fix this really soon.
Not much help to you but I can get my UK S5 to connect fine to my factory car kit. I can connect for hands free, mp3 playback and as a modem for Internet all at once.

I contacted Toyota, there is an update available.
Going to the dealer on Friday, hope it fixes the problem.

You were able to share Internet via Bluetooth?
Yep. You have to enable tethering to get it to work with Command Online through.

Can you explain how in more detail?
Turn on the tethering option (search tethering in settings). Your car will connect to the phone for online access. This is how the 2013 model works.
I have the same problem with my S5 Duos. My Car is a Skoda Yeti. My Android Version is 5.0 Lollipop.
I also spent a couple of hours. Has anyone solved the problem.

LG G6 with Bluetooth Issues

Problem: Intermittent Bluetooth connection with my Prius C. Found two Bluetooth apps in system apps.
When I go into the bluetooth app to clear cache and data, I noticed TWO Bluetooth apps! One is version 8.0 which is appropriate since I've upgraded to Oreo. And, the second Bluetooth app is version 6.20.18. After trying everything I could think of to fix my connectivity issue, I'm at the point of a factory reset and rebuilding my device with hopes of resolution. But first, I wanted to ask if anyone else is seeing TWO bluetooth apps on their phones? Settings/Apps & Notifications/ Apps, then expand menu to show system apps.
Again, is anybody else seeing two bluetooth apps? Wouldn't this create a conflict with anything trying to connect? How can I delete the old app since they are both system apps? TIA
I've also got two apps. Enable Developer options and try to change Bluetooth - AVRCP version to AVRCP 1.4 (Default). After that my TomTom watch could connect to G6 without problems. Maybe it will be also a solution for your problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done as suggested with mixed results. I unpaired my G6 from my Prius, deleted the G6 profile from the Prius and still got the BT connecting and then disconnecting. I didn't have time to reboot so I wonder if that may be my issue (cache memory?). I'll try that at lunch. However, after a minute or so, I was able to stream uninterrupted. Thanks for the suggestion and solution, hopefully
I'm having a similar issue with my G6 and a 2016 Subaru Outback. Keeps dropping the connection and connecting. Sometimes it is ok for a while. Sometimes it keeps doing it from the time I start the car. Worked great until 8.0 update. See thread here: https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-2019/501767-bluetooth-connection-issues-lg-g6.html#post5728313
Update: Still having mixed results (when connecting to my Prius). so, after some connection back and forth, I have been successful with streaming Pandora and Amazon Prime for more than 20 minutes w/o interruption.
I've tried Google Play in the car and it's as if the connection is possessed. It's so unstable that it makes me believe Google Play is somehow responsible. Yet, my BT headphones connect and play without issue for over 1hr while mulching leaves.
I still don't fully understand how their can be 2 Bluetooth apps on my phone without any type of conflict, especially since they are different versions. I'm thinking that when my phone updated to Oreo, the old Bluetooth app/file didn't get removed.
@TheGs - Have you done a factory reset? If so, how many bluethooth files/versions on phone after reset? I was hoping a reset would fix this puppy. I too am on TMo/H872.
I still have two apps after a factory reset. (I'm just here because I've had bluetooth crashing after the latest OTA from T-mobile.)
UPDATE: having followed the suggestion from @adamz667 above, I changed the AVRCP to 1.3 and so far so good. Bluetooth just connects with no interruptions what so ever. Maybe this will help if you are having simiilar issue.
@lovecomplex - thanks for replying on the number of bluetooth apps you have after reset. Now that I seemingly have resolved my issue I see no need to reset at this point, Good Luck!
got a brand new G6. Bluetooth is broken out of the box. I can't stream anything to any bluetooth devices. Changing it to AVRCP 1.3 under Developer Options made streaming possible but it is choppy. I am on Nov 1 android security patch.
WTF LG? It is brand new, brand new!

Bluetooth Activity Tracker Won't Pair Since Installing Pie

Hi all,
I've got a Withings Pulse Ox (Bluetooth activity tracker, like a fitbit) that I've had for the life of my OP5. It's always worked on OOS 4 and 5, however since upgrading to Android Pie (OOS 9.0.1) it refuses to pair with the phone. It is discoverable, and will attempt to pair but never succeeds. My other devices (headphones, and car audio) continue to work just as they did previously.
I've tried the usual array of rebooting phone, tracker, uninstalling and re-installing the Withings app - but never works (trying another phone, running an earlier version of Android pairs immediately). I'm talking to Withings Support, but they are being typically useless so far.
Phone is rooted, with Magisk, but the only modules I've got installed are related to the camera.
Has anyone had any experience of trackers not working since upgrading to Pie / have any suggestions for what else I could try?
After installing Pie i had connectivity issues with my Anker Soundsync Drive hands-free kit. I unpaired , cleared storage and cache of the Bluetooth and Bluetooth MIDI service app in "Settings --- Apps&Notifications --- See all xxx apps --- Show system --- Bluetooth / Bluetooth MIDI service --- Storage". After a reboot it connected flawlessly.
I hope this helps
V.
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried this but unfortunately still not pairing and syncing.
Hello,
1.Open the Fitbit app and start the sync process. It will say “looking…”
2.While it is looking for your device, quickly go to Android Bluetooth settings, choose Pair New Device, and select the tracker as if to pair it for the first time. (remember to remove it from your Bluetooth devices first)
3.Switch back to the app and the sync process should complete.
That's work for me.
OnePlus 5 - Android 9
Same problem for me. Still not fixed with 9.0.3.
SolykZ, have you got the same issue specifically with a Withings Pulse Ox device?

I own a Withings Pulse 0x and I had absolutely no problems with my previous phones and my current OP5t before the Pie update. I even full-wiped the phone "just in case" with no luck. Any other phone will pair without any issue. I can't try with another Pie phone since this one is my only one Pie-powered device, sadly.
Hi,
Any update about this?
Regards,
Chris.
Withings swapped my pulse for a Steel, as they couldn't work out what was going wrong (or they knew they messed up but didn't want to fix an old device).
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll contact them asap. Hopefully the french support (I'm from Belgium) will be that convenient with my own problem.
