I have the Soundfly View (BT FM Transmitter) that I want to use with my Optimus V. According to both the phone and the Soundfly, it pairs and connects fine. I can also do calls with it fine.
However, it won't allow me to play music using the Soundfly menu. It always says "BT Not Connected". If I start playing using the phone, I don't get the audio through the Soundfly/FM either.
Any ideas?
After some experimentation, when I pair with the phone, then connect, the phone states "connected to phone and media audio". Afterwards, I can play music via the BT. However, when it disconnects and reconnects (automatically), it only says "connected to phone" and I can no longer play audio. That is, even though within the BT options it has both phone and media audio checked.
Net result - I can play audio, but I have to repair the phone every time.
If anyone knows how to make it reconnect to both automatically, I'd be glad to hear it.

So I of course love my Thunderbolt, but I have one issue I can't seem to fix. My phone connects to my trucks headunit over Bluetooth for talk and audio. Once I start Pandora or the native music app, about 20 seconds later the phone says "Bluetooth Headset Disconnected" and thats that. Anyone else having this issue and are there any known fixes yet?
this just started happening to me after using BT successfully for months. i have tried pairing and repairing. initial pair connects headset and media, but after a few seconds i see the message headset disconnected.... the media profile is still paired but not headset.
any ideas?
thanks,
eric
i have this issue as well, but i'm running bamf 1.6.2... i wasn't going to say anything itll i was on CM again (it did work when i was on CM previously)
Try unpairing, then repairing - this time deny any requests to let your car access the TB's phonebook via bluetooth. That solved it for me.
happens to me every once in a while.

no root.
i have to turn bt off and then back on and it reconnects without issue.
Hello!
I have a Bell Canada Sensation 4G, running Android Revolution 6.5.
I have a work laptop (Toughbook CF-52). I got given a brand new 2012 Ford F-150 yesterday, it has Ford SYNC. I successfully stream music from my Sensation to the Ford stereo over bluetooth, no issues. Works with Tune-In radio and XM radio apps.
Now, I want to do the same, keep my phone in a drawer, and play XM to my laptop via bluetooth. I have paired the device with laptop, connection works, even tethering.
I went into bluetooth options on laptop and made sure "Audio Sink Service" is enabled. Now I'm not sure what else I need to do to get the audio to play on the laptop. It's a company laptop that is locked down hard, limited admin rights, and only access to Windows Media Player. Any thoughts on how to get this going? I would just play XM through IE browser, but we are locked out of the site. I want to also avoid constantly plugging/unplugging speakers to my phone, hence why I want to BT the audio to the laptop.
Thanks a bunch! (additional info below)
Additional info from my searching...
I long click on my BT device like this guy did, but I dont get any options come up for bluetooth. I find zero way to get any extra options in BT settings on the phone that has anything to do with media, or audio, etc.

I had the same problem - I got music, but phone audio didn't work.
I went into Settings>Wireless & Networks>Bluetooth Settings, long-pressed on the bluetooth device I was using, selected options, unchecked both "Phone" and "Media", then re-checked them both.
After that, I got both A2DP media audio, as well as phone headset functionality.

The M7 seemed to work fine though I did not use it much. The M8 though has issues. Most of the time it says it can’t connect or that it has and then never starts playing the song. The two music apps that came with the phone, “Music” and “Play Music” do mostly the same thing. One seems to say its connected and not play anything while the other can’t connect. Sometimes it will connect and the Onkyo receiver shows HTC – Unknown Artist. Other times it will play part of a song maybe even the next song then it will stop. The dlna connection from the PC to the Onkyo receiver work as it should, music always starts right away and lists the artists and track titles.
I’ve tried restarting the phone and receiver and seems more likely to connect but never plays more than a song or two before getting stuck.
This is almost unbelievable.
I want to simply open "Music" on my phone (where I have 32G of music stored), and have it play on my Android TV box device through my Home Theater, so that I can lounge with phone in hand, and change the track, etc.
In my car, I have an FM Transmitter (no Aux input on the radio) which connects to my phone via Bluetooth, and my music plays perfectly on my radio.
Why isn't there this basic solution for doing the same for:
Phone to Android TV Box
Phone to Phone
I can pair my phone to my TV Box, and even send files over Bluetooth, but they wont connect when I try in Settings, Bluetooth-- I suspect because no software is making the "gesture" from the TV Box to the phone (like I assume what happens in my car with the FM Transmitter).
Same thing for Phone to Phone..
Any free solution to what I want to achieve?

Have you tried connecting via the Wi-Fi Direct settings from your phone?
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
Never seen that before. Not sure what to do with that.
How do I utilize that?
It's under your advanced Wi-Fi settings. Once you get there you can search for connectable devices.

That might just work if the tv supports wifi direct.
well, I got it to connect to the "MBox" in Settings, Wifi, Wifi-Direct...
..but, what's unclear is what app(s) would I install/utilize to now stream audio from my phone to my "MBox"? (as an aside, the "Mbox" was already connected to my LAN via wired Ethernet, so now it's also direct connected via its' wireless to the phone)
I already tried to open Miracast on the "Mbox" but it says "Waiting for user to connect", or some such thing, and I can't see what I'd do on the phone to complete that.
The phone is running LS KitKat and there is a section in Settings, Display called "Cast Screen" but all that says is "No nearby devices were found"
?
Hi,
my Mate 9 connects fine with my car, "contact sharing" works as well as " message access" and "phone audio"- so basically the phone functions are working as they should.
However I do have problems with my "media audio". This doesn't get activated in most of the times (like 90%). Which means I have to go into the Bluetooth settings, click on my connected car and switch the "media audio" on in order to listen to my cell phone audio player.
At first I thought it was my car, but it works perfectly with my other two Samsungs (S6 and S5) - media audio is getting activated automatically and music is playing. So it has to do with my Mate 9.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do here? At this (frustrating) point I'm even willing to use a third party app or widget which allows me to quickly activate media audio without going through all the Bluetooth setting menus.
Help?
I haven't got a solution but I am having the same issue

Having the same problem with not just my car but also my Creative Soundblaster Roar. Everytime I try to play music from my phone when I am in the car, it plays from the phone instead, but the song title does show in the car display screen. I need to restart my phone and reconnect before I can play it through the car sound system
Bluetooth Auto Connect has always been helpful for me and works fine on my p10
Same problem here (p20 pro) except that it is "phone audio" that doesn't turn on automatically. Have to turn it on manually each time. Very irritating.
I've got the same problem, has anyone found a fix yet?
