"Media audio" not automatically turned on when connected to car - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

Soundfly View w/ Optimus V

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.

[Q] Force phone audio to phone earpiece when connected to Bluetooth device.

Hi, I recently flashed my phone (Galaxy Note 3) with CM 11 and my Galaxy Gear with null_23.
I connected the two of them via Bluetooth and everything seemed to work perfectly, until someone called me...
That was when I noticed that my phone forwards my audio to my gear speakers as it counts equivalently to any bluetooth earpiece. I tried unchecking Phone audio profile in bluetoth device settings but that completely disconnects my gear. (I should probably also mention the reason I want them connected is cause I'm using Bluetooth tethering for internet access on my gear).
I tried using an app I found called SoundAbout that forced audio device but it did so by (unchecking phone audio profile?) disconnecting the gear entirely.. which is not preferable.
I have been trying to search around for any info on how to do this, but all I've ever found has been to do the opposite, force bluetooth over other outputs.
Currently I have to change the output manually every time I answer/call someone, which takes a few sec where the other party wonders why I'm not responding..
I thought I would be able to change default phone audio output in my phone app or something, but no, no such setting is available.. its frustrating to be stuck with so little customisation even after invreasing it with a custom ROM... dang..
Thanks for any help!

Bluetooth audio streaming skips logcat included

Hi all. So I'm having an issue with my S6 running cleanrom lite. My bluetooth audio skips when playing on any BT speaker. The skip is similar to a cd skipping and is not the volume just lowering for another app. BT audio used to work flawlessly, here is what I have done so far. And This issue exists with multiple BT speakers, with multiple music apps, local music with default music app, spotify, spotify in offline mode, Amazon music.
1. Reboot phone
2. Toggle bluetooth
3. Unpair car BT device from phone
4. Delete phone pair from car BT headunit
5. Rollback any app updates
6. Unselected "Use Nuplayer" in development options. Then rebooted
7. Took a logcat. Everytime BT audio skips I get an event like this
"08-26 17:34:18.501 E/bt-btif (6930): btif_get_num_aa_frame() - Limiting frames to be sent from 43 to 10"
Anyone have any ideas as to anything else I can try? Or what could be causing this?

That is exactly what plagues me since upgrading my i9100G to Lollipop with Omnirom 5 - Has anyone tracked it down already and knows a fix? Interestingly first time after boot bluetooth streaming works fine for me. Rebooting all the time is of course not good....

Question Bluetooth in my car only switches on for calls not audio

I upgraded to s22 ultra from s21. When I get into my car my Bluetooth pairs with my phone for CALLS automatically, however not for AUDIO (both connect on its own once in a while) . I have to manually go into Bluetooth settings and switch on manually. This is annoying since I have a job where I'm in and out of my car. This was never an issue with my previous phone (S21)
Things I have tried but no luck.
In Bluetooth app settings clear data.
In Bluetooth app setting unpair and delete every device in memory.
In Bluetooth agent setting - change battery saving mode to unrestricted from optimized
Hmmm that seems strange.. Maybe try making sure auto is checked in the bluetooth seetings. I have the same phone and I'm not experiencing audio issues.
maybe try running a routine for the bluetooth
There is definitely something wrong with BT in the latest firmware. I occasionally get volume drops and those are huge drops. This bug happened in one or two previous firmware too, got sorted out, but in the latest there is it again. I hope it will be fixed ASAP.
Is it a Ford ?
You have to manually select the phone in Source to play audio or anything else.
Calls take priority over any setting, so they work always without an issue.

It's an aftermarket Bluetooth added to an old Honda via peripheral plugged into the stock cd player unit. I am going to try and disconnecting the battery terminals for 30 mins so I can reset the Bluetooth unit itself.
When I have my car bluetooth device connected as "audio" only, then I have to manually connect to it from my phone.
When I have my car bluetooth device connected as "audio & calls" , then the s22 ultra connects automatically
I recall reading that audio+calls connects automatically
Audio only requires manual connection
I drive a 2017 Ford F150 but I think its not a Ford issue
