Music won't play over Bluetooth? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I paired my car with my N5 and when I go and try to play my music it says paused on my cars screen and it won't play. Any ideas ? Should I delete and repair? Or is this an issue other people are having?

I have not had any problems with Pandora or GPM when paired with my Sony head unit. I would try repairing, and if that does not work, factory reset the system in your car. I had a Ford with Sync and had to do this several times due to random, weird behavior.

I will try later on and get back to you

I had no issues pairing my phone with my car through Bluetooth. Music plays automatically when I turn on car. Using poweramp. Sometimes you just need to turn off your car, wait a minute and turn it back on before it starts playing

[Q] Nexus S bluetooth problems

Hey guys
Strange issue here. I paired my phone with my car through Bluetooth to make and receive calls using the car audio system. It works well.
However, if I fire Google Navigation, I can't here the spoken instructions through either the phone speaker or the car speakers.
I was not expecting navigation audio to be routed through Bluetooth audio, but I did expect the navigation instructions to come out of the phone speaker, as it does on the nexus one or the vibrant both running Android 2.2.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks

did you flash a new kernel or anything because the kernel in the dev thread is known to break bluetooth
if it does this stock out of the box try doing a system restore and then take it back if its still acting up because bluetooth should turn on
yea i used the pkg one that had SU etc on it. Suppose Ill have to flash back to stock arg.
just so peeps know with the bt issue flashing this fixed

Bluetooth doesn't stream audio to car - what's your experience
I've got a Ford Edge with the new Ford MyTouch/Sync system.
The Nexus S connects to the Bluetooth just fine; makes and receives calls perfectly. It will also connect to the Bluetooth Audio Stream for music playback, but won't play the audio over the car's speakers. Also, sometimes it connects, holds the connection for just a few seconds and then disconnects. My SGS and Nexus One work as expected, as does the iPhone, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the car.
Seems like a bug in the NS to me.
I'm curious if others are streaming audio/music to their auto's BT system without issues?
It would be especially nice to know what anyone else with a new Ford/Lincoln is experiencing, but I'd also like to compile a list of what cars work and what don't.
I'm going to have to find some other BT device that I can test the stream on to see if my phone works with it or not. Maybe my Nexus One dock? I've never used that to stream audio even with the Nexus One.
In terms of troubleshooting my problem, I've already rebooted the phone and the car, un-paired and re-paired the phone with the car.
I've got a Mazda RX8 R3 and the NS will pair with the in-built car BT but drops the connection after a few minutes. It then refuses to connect again unless I re-pair, then a few minutes later it drops and we're back to square one.
The car's in-built BT worked fine with my HTC Desire, Hero, iPhone 3G and Blackberry 9700 so I'm guessing the Nexus S has a Bluetooth issue.
Mine works fine on my aftermarket Sony receiver.
having issues with bluetooth audio too, stream keeps breaking every now and then. Any fixes?
I've only streamed to the car stereo and had no issues. The phone is only about 10cms away.
Haven't tried my BT headphones yet, maybe range is the issue.
*On original ROM.

tried placing the phone right next the the BT reciever and same problem. Only tried this once, maybe I'll try rebooting the phone.
no problem here
using Bionix 1.2
You're lucky, I can't even get BT music streaming to work with my car. No other BT devices to check with besides my Nexus One dock, which has no speakers.
BT works great for the phone, though, to make and receive calls.
Problem with Bluetooth
I cant get to work bluetooth on Nexus S.
When i enable it and try to send something from SGS to Nexus S it says me "This tranfer was canceled by the user" (Nexus S)
SGS says "Remote device rejected your request"
When i try send something from Nexus S, but use not function Send, i use function Bluetooth - it says me "The application Bluetooth Share (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I tried factory reset, wipe cache, tried flash any other roms, but got NOTHING helpt me. I have this problem on 2 phones (2xNS).
Can someone give me files of BlueTooth share? (com.android.bluetooth)
That's an interesting problem you have. Mine did the same thing transfering from my computer to my NS. I just tried it again when I read your post (to make completely sure what the error was) and it has automagically fixed its self.
Well, seems i need a file \system\app\bluetooth.apk

Music starting when I turn off bluetooth

So no matter what application I'm using on my Radar and how I exit the app, i.e., just pause, back all the way out, etc. the music starts playing again when I turn off my BT headset. I've tried looking through settings to no avail.
bump........

That's odd. Music should automatically stop playing when your bluetooth device is shutoff.
It should not automatically start.
Please describe every detail of what you are doing, connected to, etc. Order and timing might be important.

Starting with phone idle
Turn on Bluetooth headset
Verify it is connected in Settings
Back out and go to a streaming app (has occurred in slacker and metroradio)
Stream music for any given amount of time
Either pause music, pause and back all the way out, just back all the way out, etc.
Shut screen/put in pocket
Turn off bluetooth headset
Music starts playing from phone speaker
Bump - happened again tonight. This time I paused from the lock screen just to test. Paused -> Screen Off -> BT off -> 10 seconds later, music starts
does it happen if you shut bluetooth off before shutting screen off?
Does it happen with Zune as music player ? Also does these apps have any settings for this kind of situation.

I don't use Zune. The only setting in Slacker is if I want Radio to resume automatically when Bluetooth is connected and that is turned off. Metro has nothing.
BUMP.........
You need the app "Stop the Music!
I had the same problem on my Lumia 800 today.. so awkward.....
I was at work and use a Logitech bluetooth docking station, playing music was fine, no problem at all.. I work a shoppingmall and while on my break I went in the another store just next to mine. A really hot girl works there and this lyrics came on highest volume:
"I'm fat, I'm Single, I'm ready to mingle"
here's a youtube link... Never been so embarrassed in my life, I managed to save my ass but only just! A fix would be superb!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpJooV7RrMk
I've had the same issue with the background audio from Podcasts! Pro. It doesn't do this with Zune. I'm guessing its an issue with the way the background api is being implemented.
Another thing i've noticed, when it switches to or from BT, the audio picks up from the last point before BT is connected. Example, if I'm listening to an hour long podcast, and I get 23 minutes into it before switching to BT, even when I listen to another 20 minutes of the podcast, it will revert back to the 23min point once BT is disconnected.
Same issue here
Hi,
I'm having the same issue here with a Mercedes B180 built in Handsfree and Lumia 800.
It happens with Wimp, not Spotify.
As a matter of fact music Streaming is not working at all from any app to this HF.
However: BT with my combination is ok for Contact Transfer and Phone functions so it's not a catastrophy, but....
One other thing: When turning ignition off, ongoing calls are disrupted and not returned to the handset...
Nokia Support said that this is a issue caused by them using the Microsoft BT Stack for Music Streaming while probably Mercedes is using some other (Widcomm, Toshiba...)
BTW: I've used iPhone in this scenario and it works fine with all functions.

Bluetooth stuttering

My Nexus 5 has problems with audio skipping and stuttering in the car over bluetooth. It also sometimes fails to connect until I toggle bluetooth on and off. Googling the problem indicates that it's a common problem on Nexus 4 and 7 with no real solutions.
This happens in an '11 Subaru and a '13 Hyundai, so I'm thinking it's the phone. Our other phones stream perfectly. I have tried unpairing and re-pairing many times. Any suggestions? Should I RMA the phone?
I am also experiencing Bluetooth issues, it will randomly disconnect or just not connect until I turn it off and back on again. I had no issues with my Nexus 4. 2012 Kia Forte Koup.
I'm seeing this also between my Nexus 5 and my PC, both the poor audio and problems connecting
it seems that attenuation is a factor, at least for the poor audio, when holding the phone around the middle/upper portion of the back causes it to happen while it never happens when I set the phone down.
also did not see either issue with my nexus 4
I'm not certain if it's purely hardware or software but I'd contact Google about it regardless
did anyone come up with a solution to this?
I have the same problem in my 2013 Honda Accord EX-L. I don't remember having the issue on stock though. I feel like it just started happening after installing one of the Cyanogenmod variants.
It only seems to skip if i use my phone while music is playing.. its really annoying because the song will just skip for a few seconds pretty much every time i use my phone.

Wow, mines been skipping like twice every song but when I hold the phone like you described it will completely stop and disconnect.... weird.
No issues at all with bluetooth from my Nexus 5. Works great in my Explorer.
One problem with Ford Focus. When I use Google voice search while using Bluetooth audio, I get media processes error and cannot play file. Track starts back from beginning upon resuming play.

[Q] Nexus 5 Bluthtooth Honda Pairing Issue

I just would like to quickly check if anyone has the car Bluetooth pairing issue for Nexus 5 and anyone has a solution for that? Thanks.
My wife and I both received the latest Nexus 5 from Google 1 week ago. I have rooted and installed the DroidKang v14 Xmas Edition and Google APK package and also installed the Mod fixing the volume issue. Everything looks fine until we try to pair the nexus 5 to my 2013 honda Accord LX.
the Honda HandsFreeLink Stereo found my Nexus. It connected. However, the stereo disconnects and reconnects repeatedly, with the phone displaying the message, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.bluetooth has stopped." I tried to reboot the phone and also play around the Bluetooth function, the error still come out. It looks like that the error will happen every time when the car Bluetooth tryes to import or read call history or contact info from the phone. So I changed Car Bluetooth setting and disable syncing info from phone. Now the connection does not drop and I could hear the music in car from phone. However, I lose the most function for Car Bluetooth because I cannot see call history directly on car system.
Even the Bluetooth connection stables after we disable syncing function. The bluetooth connection will fail again when we walk back from retailer store to the car. the reconnection will disconnect and reconnect again and again. it is so crazy and unusable.
I do not know if this issue is related to the phone hardware or the CM ROM. I have not tried other ROM but at least I know my old HTC phone and samsung phone seamlessly connected to this Honda Car Bluetooth system. There is no any issue. So I think the issue is related to Nexus 5 or this ROM.
I will try to do more research on this. in the meantime, if anyone has the same experience or a solution for that, please let me know. Thanks.

Definitely the CM ROM. I have a Nexus 4, and since upgrading from CM 10.2 to 11, I've been experiencing intermittent BT dropouts with my Pioneer car stereo that I've never experienced before.

i have the same issue with my Mercedes A bluetooth connection. it's very annoying. I am running CM11 nightly of yesterday....so far only 1 cm nightly worked....I think is was 14-12-2013.....I wish there was a way to revert to this only with the bluetooth part.....so far...no solution
I have a Honda with Honda link. I have that problem when I have the read sms feature on the car enabled. If I turn it off then it works fine. I use it daily for a 50 minute drive each way to work.
I don't ever use the call history on the car, but the voice call works fine. And of course streaming music, which is mostly what I do with it.

I'm on kangakat BT to stereo audio call and text with no issues -dodge truck. Worked fine on stock as well so I would try a different ROM and see how it acts.

[Q] Intermittent music playback using A2DP on bluetooth

Hi folks,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core I8260 for Latin-America with stock ROM and Kernel (I8260LUBAMG2).
When I'm playing music using A2DP Bluetooth to my car stereo the phone begins to play intermittently, the sound goes mute and playback stops, then resumes after a second or two. I have tried with lots of music playing apps. Problem persists. :crying:
This happens always and a lot of times during any song I'm playing over A2DP, which is very annoying because it's like pressing pause and play over and over again.
My guess is that the phone can't process all the files and signals without lagging, but even my old blackberry can play music on A2DP without this issues.
Can you please help to fix this problem? Thank you
Anyone?
Come on guys, just let me know if you have this problem on your Galaxy Core too or is it just me?
I'm wondering if I have a defective unit or what's happening.
Go to service centre and repair your phone, its defected model, or change the car stereo perhaps. :?
