Hi xda community,
I've upgraded to B380 from B131, everything works fine with the exception of Audio streaming, haven't tried calls yet. So I basically can't connect my phone to cars, tried a 2011 BMW and a 2016 VW.
Pairing is working, when I want to stream music it works for two to three seconds, then bluetooth is magically disabled and needs to be reenabled for another 2-3 seconds of Music.
So far I've tried reverting back to stock B380 without TWRP or root.
Could somebody please point to to what I am doing wrong?
I've found several threads reguarding the issue but for none of them Bluetooth only seems to work for a couple of seconds.
Thanks a lot,
Ben
I have also big troubles with Bluetooth - even it shows, that it is enabled, it not work or work partially. For me, only one thing helps - reboot. Try it too, after you are disconnected, reboot phone and check BT status, if disabled, enable it manually.
b360 bluetooth than turning on it freezes the phone for a good 30 sec

Anyone else seeing some odd behavior with bluetooth pairings? I keep on having to re-pair with my laptop (Win 7 64x) and my car (Audi S4). Complete pain.
I use it with my computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my Motorola bluetooth headset, no problems since I first paired each (sometime in July).
I have the same issue at times....quite frustrating and I have found no way to stop it from happening....
Yep. I get this too. My only fix has been to turn off my plantronics earpiece and when turned back on it connects.

It used to work fine for me with stock build. Now on JH3 I have the issue...

I am JH3 as well, FWIW. Dunno if JF6 gave me the same problem. I now have 3 of the same device in my Win7 BT folder. I also remember seeing the BT settings reverting to old ones.
Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.

I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.
More Info
While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.
In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.
For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.
If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.
Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.
My rom is stock.
The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.
There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.
I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...
I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.
Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.
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.
stock
no root.
i have to turn bt off and then back on and it reconnects without issue.
I've noticed that ever since I upgraded to 38R I keep getting disconnected from my bluetooth car stereo. When it disconnects the Bluetooth icon on the OPO goes grey. It looks like the Bluetooth module is crashing and then getting reset by the OS. I just got done with a 30 minute drive and it happened 3 times. Has anybody else noticed anything funky with the Bluetooth stack?
I've also had the phone itself hard crash several times. Not sure if 38R is ready for prime time.
I'm not running anything custom, just pure 38r on a rooted/twrp device. No exposed or other mods.
I updated manually last night and this morning on the drive in, I had it suddenly switch from my Ford's Sync system to the internal speaker. The dash display showed the phone was attached and when I switched from Pocket Casts to Play Music, it reflected what was playing, but the sound came out of the phone, not the car stereo. I went into the settings and toggled music off and on, switched Bluetooth off and on, then switch the stereo to AM radio then back to Bluetooth and it behaved properly.
I was using Waze which keeps the screen on and things were fine until I got off the freeway and shut down Waze. The screen shut off after a minute as normal, but when I double-tapped the screen to wake the display up, the audio dropped from the stereo and started playing from the phone. Hmmmm. I unpaired Sync and deleted the OPO from the car's side and I re-paired the phone.
It seemed OK until my drive home just now when once again, tapping the screen to wake it up cause the audio to drop back to the speaker. Since I don't use nav apps all the time, this is clearly an unacceptable bug that makes me wonder HTF they're beta-testing. It's nice that the GPS doesn't seem totally broken and the touchscreen goofiness is gone, but being unable to maintain Bluetooth connectivity for media is a huge gaffe.
Ok, I'm still trying to figure out what is going on here. I restored my TWRP backup from 33R and I had two bluetooth crashes on the way home today. Could there be a firmware update that is causing this that would not have been rolled back as part of the restore? I've read online that there is no new radio in 38R? Is there something else causing it?
I ran the full 33r factory image and it fixed the Bluetooth issues. I ran that way for a couple of days and had no BT problems even on a 2+ hour drive. I did a clean 33r to 38r OTA and within the first 30 minutes in the car had a BT freeze and disconnect. Its pretty clear, at least with my device, that there is something wrong with the BT stack on 38r.
I have little different but seems to related with BT.
When BT is enabled, my wifi performance drops significantly. I tried to remove all paired devices and reset BT config, but nothing really fixed the issue. I need to turn off BT completely, if my wifi speed goes down. I'm running 38R. I don't think I noticed any issue on 33R.

I'm having this exact same issue since upgrading to 38r. Bluetooth audio works fine until screen goes off and I turn it on again. Then audio comes out of the phone, but Bluetooth icon is still lit up and otherwise still connected to the car. VERY annoying.

Yeah... Right now when I get into the car, audio plays though the speaker (despite bluetooth connection) unless I open Play Music specifically. Somehow that does something that also fixes other apps (Slacker, book readers, etc).

I'm on 44S, and have a similar issue. Had the issue since 38R though. Bluetooth stays connected to my car fine if I'm not using the OPO or if I'm just streaming music. But in phone calls, it drops the bluetooth all the time. Really really annoying.

I'm having same problem. Disconnects but just on calls and this happens with my BT headset. This doesn't actually happen on my stock Nexus 5. I'm thinking CM must be using different BT drivers? It's been the same on 33 and 44. I'm betting it carries to 5.0. If I don't find a workaround I may be forced to go to a different ROM. Just have no idea which one may be unaffected?
any fix for this?
Hi all,
Been reasonably happy with the z3 so far but I'm having problems with Bluetooth connectivity, specifically in my car. I'm used to an iphone, which works flawlessly, but the z3 only seems to be able retain a connection for 10 mins before slowly reconnecting. It's become frustrating as it restarts some of my tasker profiles(?).
Has anyone else had similar issues? Are there any known fixes for this?
I've tried turning off stamina, wifi, bluetooth timeout, display timeout, re-pairing my device - nothing has helped!
Cheers,
Russ

The normal Stamina mode (not ultra) won't disconnect any connection just limit background process.
This can be bug in firmware So try to repair it by PC companion
+ and a question; is this happen with another bluetooth devices or just with car?
cause if it happen with car it can be software compatibility & ...
Thanks for the reply. I thought I would update.
I did try checking for firmware updates but I found a different solution shortly after. I downloaded the 'Xperia Z1 Bluetooth Fix' from the google play store, installed it and selected the Tune2Air device (when it was in range). Since then I've had no reconnecting problems! I have no idea what the app has done but it has completely solved the issues I was having. I suggest giving it a go if you are having similar symptoms. :good:

I get this all the time, constant every couple of seconds when connected to my Mercedes Comand unit..
I will download this app and test it out, hopefully it sorts it.
I have Volvo V40 and when I step in my car with my bluetooth on, I see on my Z3 Bluetooth connect and then disconnect. This repeats all the time. When I then disable bluetooth and enable, the problem is gone. I don't know for sure, but what I have see on my car's phone menu, although I get these disconnects on my phone , the disconnects are not noticed by my car. But again, I didn't look into that yet. Do you have similar problems?
Hi all,
Great to know im not crazy bcuz im having the same issues in my toyota as the volvo. My phone automatically tries to pair & sometimes this works flawlessly, yet other times it connects, stalls, then spends an age tring to reconnect & all the while the cars head unit still perceives a connection. What i hav noticed is that i get great connections (fast & from where i left off) when i pause before switching off my car. If i dont pause then i need to manually connect even if the phone says its pairing with my car. Iv come from a nokia n8 which worked flawlessly however i could not control the volume from the phone which i can do from the z3 & i was wondering if the problem could be with either the phone or stereo having conflicting memory of what was last played, volume level , etc. As there must be data stored somewhere on either or both devices.
Look at this page for an explanation of Sony, seems to be a problem from the bluetooth version of the car:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...s-connecting-disconnecting/td-p/853609/page/2
I dont think its necessarily the car as the problem i outlined is resolved if i pause the playing music before cutting power. I should correct an earlier comment. My problem is with playing music from my phones harddrive via a player such as the native music player, vlc music player, music visualiser, etc rather than streaming music so im not sure what peolpe using cloud services or internet radio can do.
Does anyone know why pausing the music before leaving the car is necessary when in my experience using bluetooth 3.0 didnt require this?
I used to be able to hear calls and media whilst connected to bluetooth in my car. one day it just stopped working. media still works but when i make a call or receive one, there's no audio. calls ,audio, and contacts are all checked in bluetooth settings. i've forgotten devices, rebooted, reconnecting, and nothing helps.
bluetooth connects to everything fine, but no call sound over any accessory i try. got a new car and it won't work in there either. i'm on android 7.1.2 .
searched all over and plenty of people are having these issues but none of the posts i've read solve my problem. any help would be appreciated
Hey hey, I have a 128GB pixel with the same issue. I actually opened a case with Google support today about it. about 3 months back, only phone audio stopped working in my car. I was hoping the 8.0 update would fix it but it did not. I have a 2017 Honda Civic LX. I tried everything on my phone - even factory reset. Media audio works, I can play Spotify just fine but when i get a call, I can not hear the other person and they cannot hear me. The phone indicates it is connected via bluethooth... I'll try to update this post with what they find.

128G pixel here. This happens with every Bluetooth device I connect it to. 2 car stereos, 2 speakers, and a headset. All worked fine and suddenly one day... Didn't. I was hoping O Would fix it with all the Bluetooth bug fixes and changes they implemented.

Darn, so the issue is a bit different. Mine works fine on a couple of other speakers I have.
Did anyone ever solve this? I've got the same issue, but it effects *all* my Bluetooth devices, but only when I am switched to my secondary user profile.
I've reset the phone app but no dice.
My phone will say it is connected to the Bluetooth device for the phone call. If I switch to speaker or phone and then back to Bluetooth, it works. Anyone else have similar?

Hi!
After hours of Googling you are the first I found who has the same error.
I have a Lenovo TAB4 8+, my kid wants to use Zoom and his Bluetooth headset but only the speaker and mic on the tablet works. I tried fresh install, without luck:
There are 4 type of users:
- Owner (primary - this is the only profile which works for calls on bluetooth headset)
- Standard Users (secondary - bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Child (bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Guest
The bluetooth headset is working with other devices, but not with this one. Unfortunately I have no other android device which supports multi-user.
Moreover, there was an hour when bt call worked from secondary user, but couldn't find out what is the problem.
Can anybody help me on this?
Best regards,
Karoly
