As the title states, I've been having BT issues since day one with this phone. I have the phone paired to my 2012 Toyota Camry, but the car interface simply shows 'STREAMING AUDIO' as soon as the phone is connected via BT. problem with that is that the interface only shows streaming audio when something is actually being played. That isn't the case with the 1+1. I am not playing any audio, or making any calls, yet the car interface will show 'STREAMING AUDIO', with no sound being output whatsoever.
Intermittently, however, the phone will start Google Play Music as soon as BT connectivity is established, and play an Unknown Track, even though I have no music or audio files on the phone. This doesn't happen all the time, however. I've tried closing all Google Play processes to see if that will help, but I've had no luck.
I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing its an OS problem.
Bumping this thread. Still looking for a solution to this problem.
Bump, with an update.
I finally got around to purchasing some music thru Google Play, and it seems as if the Bluetooth will stream audio only played thru Google Play Music. YouTube et al still do not work, however.
The weird part here is that I've been using the app "YouListen", which allows me to play YouTube audio while in the background. I noticed that whenever I am playing simultaneously through YouListen and Google Play Music, I will get audio from both streams. Shutting off Google Play Music will shut all audio off.
I read around, and there seems to be an issue with specific models in which Google Play Music gets first dibs on streaming audio, and so there is an option in Google Play Music to shut this off in order to play audio through other apps. However, the 1+1 doesn't have such an option, so I'm not sure the problem lies there.
Again, any help would be appreciated.

I've been having an issue with the media audio streaming to Bluetooth on the Blaze, which I did not have on my previous phone (Optimus). I pair with a Soundfly View in my car, and use the app BeyondPod to listed to podcasts. On a "fresh" Blaze, the audio will begin to play/stream for a split second, and then stop (though the podcast will continue to "play" or advance on the phone). I can occasionally get it to do it again by clicking play, but never for more than that split second.
Through experimenting, I noticed that phone audio seems to be fine, as well as audio on the Music player. What I've found, consistently, when this happens, if I start the Music player, start playing some audio then pause it, then go back to BeyondPod, it streams fine. At least for a time, though I've yet to figure out exactly what "resets" this workaround. But when I'm unable to play, I have to redo this Music player trick to play the podcasts.
Any clue what is going on here, and any permanent fix?
Bluetooth streaming... I have been doing this for a few years using a slightly different method that I'll share here in hopes it might help. I know this is kinda unrelated to your app, but this might be a fix.
Connect any bluetooth headset (I use my PS3 headset)
Download an app called BTmono (its free and a very simple interface, on/off)
Press the on button
Now any sound you would of heard out of your phone speaker you hear on your headset. This lets you listen to music, audio books, videos, or whatever on your headset. When you are tired of it, make sure to press the off button on BTmono to go back to normal. Hopefully this will help or at least provide a temp fix for now. My boss just thinks I like to wear mine all the time, he has no clue I am jamming dubstep and listening to audio books all night
Well, even should that work, it's really the same solution...using another app to force the streaming which should be happening automatically if you're connected with the right BT profile.
I did forget to mention that I do use A2DP volume, which launches an app (BeyondPod) and adjusts the volume when BT is connected. I also used it on my old phone, so I doubt it's related, but...
Nobody else has any problems with Bluetooth from other apps? It's just me???
Running Codename Android
I set up my phone to play through a Bluetooth stereo dock and at first BeyondPod wasn't playing through it but Google Play music was. BeyondPod Started playing through the speakerphone instead. When I realized Play Music was working I opened up Pandora and it also played through the Bluetooth.... until the first song ended and it switched over to the speaker phone. Oddly enough, BeyondPod then started playing through bluetooth. I rebooted the phone and now Pandora is permanently playing through speaker phone only. I downloaded and used BT mono, which caused Pandora to play through Bluetooth with a 15 second delay, but when I shut it off it played through Bluetooth perfectly! I rebooted my phone and it is back to speaker phone only. Now BT mono does not affect it at all.
Summary of what I have tried:
Two separate Bluetooth devices, same behavior
BT mono app, worked at first (crappily) but now has no effect.
Multiple reboots, cleared data and reinstalled Pandora, no effect.
Unchecked and recheck BT setting in Pandora, no effect.
The Bluetooth devices are set to "media" in the bluetooth setting, and one of them was set to "media" and "Phone"
Is this a ROM issue? I love this rom... Any other ideas? I don't think it is a problem with the bluetooth devices considering every other app works fine.
Ok so to add to the mystery, I just tried Double Twist, and it did exactly what pandora did. It played the first song through Bluetooth, and when it cycled to the next track it went to speaker phone. Now I can't get Double Twist back to Bluetooth.
IF anyone is following this, I have found that if I enable BT Mono, the sound stops playing from the speaker, and when I disable BT mono it start playing through Bluetooth.
So just a toggle on and off and it randomly works, sometimes it does nothing though. It's incredibly inconsistent.
Could this be a kernel issue?
Appears to be a general CM10 issue. Sorry.
Not sure what the issue is but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the same issues. I'm trying to find a fix but nobody knows what is going on. I saw on other forums someone referencing the AVRCP version with new builds. Not sure if this is it or not. But I have a 2011 Toyota Camry it will not pair with for Pandora, YouTube, etc... Google Music works but that's it. And I can replicate your issue. If music is playing, I can hear notifications but if it isn't I don't hear anything.
Not sure if this will work for you but it worked for my HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.
So I just installed CM10.1 RC1. My Spotify works fine, but Apollo will pay music out of only one side of my speakers. And Google Music can't even play my local music as it gives me an error.
Any suggestions for a fix?
I noticed the exact same thing only with the Now Playing app. But some songs played through both earphones and some played in stereo. I tried the youtube app while connected and it was in stereo as well. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Hi All,
not sure if this is the right section but seeing how I think it is not rom/android specific but rather a setting I am forgetting somewhere in my bluetooth/chromecast/google play music I decided to put it here.
I recently bought a Logitech bluetooth adapter to stream my music (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/bluetooth-audio-adapter?crid=47) and everything worked well on my Nexus tablet.
But today I decided to pair my phone, which works perfect but when I went out my Google Play music doesn't play any audio anymore (bsplayer or the stock music player work, as do the notifications).
I noticed that the streaming only works when the chromecast notification is visible (ie Google Play music has to be closed when opening the bluetooth connection).
Does anyone know how to get Google Play music work again with my headphones?
Many thanks!
I just got my OnePlus One and I love it so far....except for one thing.
I loaded up my songs on Google Play Music and stream it to my car via bluetooth. There is this annoying buzz getting broadcast with my song whenever there is powerful, low bass. This does not happen on my Verizon Samsung S4. The buzz is not present with headphones. I have to test this out on another bluetooth speaker. AudioFX is disabled for bluetooth.
I already tried: redownloading my songs on Google Play Music, rebooting my phone, and repairing my phone to my car.
I have a clip of the buzz http://youtu.be/KrmaiMO3TH8
