Do you mean so you can have the Kia read your texts to you? Cuz I don't know anyone with a Kia who has managed to get that to work. As for the video, not sure what you're talking about. My bluetooth works for phone calls, syncing contacts, playing music, and turn by turn directions. That's it. BTW I have the UVO non nav system.

My Kia is a 2013. I don't use Hangouts so I have no advice for you. sorry.
So I just reinstalled a stock rom back on my nexus 6p just to get the samsung pay working again and started tinkering with Spotify (I have the premium version) app. now I can't seem to get it to connect to my phone. blue tooth model. All searches really doesn't provide any result or not any real ones. anyone out there know of a solution? was there an update that just blew this up?
US location.
blue tooth works on everything else. just not spotify apparently.
TIA
Re-install spotify on the gear... happened to me as well.

I have this problem too kind of.. When I open the Spotify app on the Gear, it keeps telling me to connect bluetooth or something like that.
The thing is.. when I play music on my phone through Spotify, if I turn the dial on the Gear to the stock music player, it actually shows the Spotify information, and I'm able to control the Spotify music from there (play, pause, next, previous, etc...).
Hopefully you will have some success!

this doesn't work for offline music. anyone?
The way I got Spotify to work was to connect to WiFi manually. It seems to want to stream over WiFi but send commands over BlueTooth.
Hi folks,
I got this new phone and I have a question regarding Bluetooth and Spotify. With my old smartphones(ZUK Z2 Pro or Samsung S7) connecting Spotify through Bluetooth, I can change songs/volumes on my car dash entertainment system. But with this smartphone I can not. Only thing shown is "Sony XZ Premium", which is the name of the device.
Do I need special configurations for this phone to get it work with the dash system?
Yours
I laso tested other apps like vlc etc. and none of them are controlable with the wheel controls or the car system. Seems to be a bug....
I don't have an issue with music control via my car to Deezer.
There is an general issue with bluetooth in Android 7.1.1 version. I have a problem with song information not being updated, however my car controls works, for most of the time. It seems like this problem is not present in newer cars/radios.
Yeah, I tried today also other apps like VLC/Deezer/Music app and all of them have this bug. I hope there is a fix soon. It is really annoying while driving that I can not change a song I don't want to listen to. I contaced also Sony Xperia Care, but they wanted to tell me it the car which is defective and not the smartphone...
sorry to go off on a tangent, but have you got deezer to work? I cannot for the life of me get deezer to work for me. Can you let me know what settings you are using, eg cache, etc... I have a support call open with deezer, even trying their beta but app just does not work - does not play anything...
Yeah I'm having this issue with Google Play music. Guessing it's a Bluetooth 5 codec.
Reported on Sony's forums as well,
Fingers crossed for a fix

I have the same problem, Spotify will not update the track information on what's playing. I hope there is a fix for it soon, kinda annoying. That and the wifi issues. Lucky I have unlimited data.
Mine just connected like normal. Seems like it sounds better than my last phone also. I did have a problem where it kinda froze the Bluetooth on my receiver and had to restart that. My receiver is pretty old though. Spotify working fine with it but with your same issue
Same issue with a mini cooper s 2017. I'm able to connect to the car for phone calls and contact sharing but unable to play any music via bluetooth. It seems that the phone shows as connected but the car just says as connecting. I really hope this issue is fixed soon.

Well Minis are technically BMWs so I guess the bluetooth interface is the same.
I managed to stream audio to my friend's Chevy Cruize but without the streering wheel controls (skip, vol up/down).=
Try pairing again and update your iDrive system (ask your dealership for more info about that)

Spoke to Sony who refuse to believe their device is a fault.. No plans to release any software tweaks till Android P apparently.

After messing around with settings and bluetooth I was able to achieve a connection to media audio. If you have Google Play Music installed, that is part of the bluetooth culprit.
1. Force stop Google Play Music under app settings.
2. Turn off bluetooth.
3. Toggle bluetooth back on, and under BMW/Mini go to the media menu and select your phone, after a few seconds you should be able to achieve a bluetooth media connection and you can run Google Play Music again.
I'm not sure if this can fix the spotify issue, but I was able to get my Google Play Music to work via bluetooth on my Mini, it is kind of annoying having to do all those steps anytime I get off the car, but then again, my drives are usually pretty long so I don't mind doing it at least a couple times a day.
Let me know if that worked for you.
Hello,
After the Oreo I had issues with my bluetooth syncing properly to my car. I drive a 2017 Corolla iM and never had issues with my music bt audio syncing before. My phone calls with my b.t works just fine . But music apps like Spotify / Google music doesn't work. I found a workaround using my aha radio app that came with the car and played my music with b.t through there just fine. So I know it's not the music apps problem . My girlfriend iPhone 7 bluetooth with Spotify works just fine, and it syncs into my car. But I don't know why mine stopped working.
Thanks,
N9900229
You're not alone. I too am having the problem. I hope Google fixes this soon. If not, sad to say I am probably never buying another Pixel because this is ridiculous.

Hey, I found a workaround. Basically using my old nexus 7 tablet with Spotify and my pixel with hotspot for my tablet and then listening onto the n7 device. both bluetooth are turned on with n7 for music and my pixel for phone in my car options.You can use any other devices as long as it's not Oreo.
Would flashing a custom ROM fix this?
It's very annoying. My Volkswagen Golf (with RNS 510 Version S) will connect automatically with calls, but to get bluetooth audio streaming working, I have to manually disable bluetooth and then reenable before it will be seen by the car.
Prior to 8.0 this worked automatically.
At the moment, I have A Sena 20S for my motorcycle and an Plantronics headset, and if I activate Google with either one, using the buttons or just hitting the google MIC button, no audio is heard by the phone over the Mic.
really causes and issue for me. Any idea if there is a fix, I also made sure that Bluetooth Headset is set to on. No go. Frustrating, I ahve 30 days, if this is not fixed, i will need to send it back ..
IM sure its just a patch, but when?
When I got the phone, it was 5.1.5 and it worked perfectly. After 5.1.6 - it's a mess.
Issue:
When you have a smartwatch that can act as a Bluetooth phone (make and receive calls through the phone, as a BT headset would),
for example, my Huawei Watch,
and then you get into a car with a BT car kit or just activate a BT headset,
it connects as "Connected (no phone) , and you cannot use it as a phone.
Alone, the car kit or headset work fine.
Long story short:
Watch - works
BT headset - works
Watch + BT headset = fail
Disable one or the other, and the other works fine.
This has been an issue with Pixel phones since 7.0.2 OS update and to this day. So it's a Google issue.
This has never been an issue with Samsung phones - they know how to fix Google coding incompetence.
This was not an issue with 5.1.5, but was introduced in 5.1.6+.
Is this fixable in future updates... please?

I know you have 5.1.6(+) listed, but have you installed 5.1.8 yet? Just curious. I don't have this issue nor can I test it, because my LG Watch Urbane can't receive calls on the watch

Yes, I have 5.1.8 and it's broken still. I think the issue is having two devices connecting that can do Bluetooth phone functions - the second one fails with "Connected (no phone)." I had this working fine on S6, Note 7, then Pixel XL had it working but broke with an update - never worked on P Xl again. Then I checked it on S9, and it was working. Then this phone with 5.1.5 was fine too. Then 5.1.7 update happened (skipped 5.1.6) and it broke again.
The workaround is to go to BT settings, click on the watch and disable radio button for phone audio. So you can never receive calls on the watch or initiate calls on the watch and use the watch to talk (the audio goes to the phone.)
This kinda works but also sucks, because you know how it used to work so much better.
