I have a 2016 nissan Qashqai and when I used my Moto x with marshmallow, I have no issues with the handsfree. Calls answer fine, i can swith back and forth between songs no issue.
When I used my ZTE Axon 7 or my Sony Xperia XZs i get the exact same issue, song track do not switch when I use the controls on the stereo. There is a delay from a few seconds to mins to hours or i have to unlock the phone and switch the song there and then every time i pressed the track skip button will register all at once.
I am thinking this is a Nougat issue and not a Sony issue. Has anyone had this issue with Nougat phones or the Sony Xperia XZs specifically?

Hi, recently I bought an in-ear headset from Razer: Hammerhead pro. It's specification said that it is compatible with any android devices. Therefore when I plugged it into my Xperia M2, everything worked fine except the answer call button ( from the headset): such button didn't response to any interaction ( play/pause music or pick up/hang up incoming phone calls). I installed SmartKey app to have a re-check but the problem is still there. I tried to plug the headset to another smart phones from other branches and it still works normally.
I wonder if this problem came from my M2 or not? Please help!
Sony Xperia ™ XZ and X Performance 7.0 Nougat is a serious Bluetooth issue in the update Sony has been confirmed by developers.
According to this, XZ and XP 7.1.1, Z5 series 7.0 update is delayed until the Bluetooth problem is solved
XZ and XP owners have a Bluetooth problem?

Yes. Me 2. Bluetooth pairing with a Sony Bluetooth Speaker is horrible. Interpreter in the songs. Some lags at with Apps and Home Screen and I think battery life is not so good as MM.
Awkward :S Have updated to 7.0 no Problems at all feels a lot smoother than MM and no problems with Bluetooth. Battery life is the same if not better (didnt check it since i can use it without problems for atleast a day)
I use my XZ Dual with bluetooth speakers and have no problems at all.

I have different problem,
when using bluetooth headphones (Sony brand) WiFi is disconnecting
I tried Youtube service, need to disconnect and then again connect WiFi every minute, that is how it works :/
Pairing with a bluetooth device wether headsets,headphones or speakers has mispairing issue or it takes several attempts till it discover the bluetooth device.
So I got the honor 8 as my new phone since I wasn't satisfied with my previous LG V10's battery live and didn't wanted to spend 600+ € again.
Two drawbacks I found on my H8 after setting everything up are related to the device's Bluetooth:
1 - although introduced in android 6.0.1 again, the H8 is not able to control Bluetooth volume correctly. I can only control the device's media volume and have to manually set the volume on my Bluetooth device, too. Expected behaviour is to control Bluetooth volume on the phone (this works perfectly on my Xperia Z3 Compact)
2 - you simply can't have to hands free devices connected at the same time over Bluetooth. In my car I have a build in hands free in my car's audio system and I'm using TomTom 620 for navigation and to display incoming calls or initiate calls. This worked perfectly on the LG V10 where all connected devices would ring at the same time and the one I used to answer the call would than do the audio while TomTom would display active call information. Unfortunately LG seams to use a more advance Bluetooth hardware as this also doesn't work on my Xperia Z3 Compact simultaneously, nor on my brand new H8.
What's your experience with that?
For the bluetooth headphone issue, you can head into developer settings and enable "Disable absolute volume" to go back to the old way Bluetooth headphones used to work!
Problem: For a few days my Bluetooth headset hasn't been with BAV(the buttons on the headset didn't control the phone volume).
Solution: Powering off the bluetooth headset completely through plugging in the charger(if yours support that). Then go into blueooth settings>forget device>turn off bt>power on the bt headset in pairing mode>turn on bt on the phone>pair them. This solved my issue and may solve your too although not guaranteed.
Devices:
- Moto G4 Plus XT1642 with android 7.0 and elemenalX 1.04 and root
- Sony Bluetooth Headset 60 (SBH)
if anyone is wondering this DOES NOT work for the s7 edge on verizon
Google is the one to blame! Nougat release is totally broke bluetooth absolute volume.

This worked for me.
Device : OnePlus 5 - OxygenOS Open Beta 7 Android 8.1 and Motorola Verve Rider+
So, I've found a way to get BT absolute volume work on Nougat
Actually BAV activates when BT device is connecting, but for some reason gets deactivated after few seconds.
So, I've found a way to get BT absolute volume work on Nougat:
Each time you connect your device, quickly press volume buttons on your bluetooth device (headphones, or speakers, or your car) until you see a VOLUME SLIDER on your phone, then IMMEDIATELY touch it and MOVE. It should keep BAV active.
Method is valid for my Xperia Z5 Compact and JBL Charge 2+. If this works for you, please share your success story.
I'm wondering if anyone has problems with their car kit and xz premium.
I had a nexus 5X which always worked flawlessly regardless of android version or rom.
My car only allows headset connectivity, no stereo audio for music, just calls.
So here's the problem, since having the Sony I can make calls fine but incoming calls are troublesome.
I have to answer the call (car or phone controls) then switch from bluetooth to speaker (car keeps ringing) then answer again using the car controls, then swap speaker to Bluetooth on the handset. Then it stops ringing (car not handset) and the audio is routed correctly.
Any one have the same or found a fix?
I have never had any issue with the XZP for handling BT calls, switching music or any other apps in the Car. The only issue, though minor, is once in a while the Song info doesn't come in my car display.
Bluetooth music did not work in latest BMW 530i and Sony xz premium.
Sony xz worked good in the same car.
there is definitely something going on with Bluetooth and XZ premium
I haven't had any issues, I have been using it for both calls and music in my car and with various headsets without a problem. My wife has the phone too and hasn't had any problems with Bluetooth, connecting to either of our cars for calls and music.
My Mercedes BT media interface will freeze BT searching in XZP and stream doesn't work at all.

On my Kenwood unit, after pairing and allowing contacts share, some show up ok but I also have the majority showing name as blank and (No Number).
Not sure but going to try disconnecting and pairing again.

I have tried a factory reset of the Kenwood unit in the car but the issue remains.
Anyone got any ideas please? [emoji3]

There are some Bluetooth issues and it seems to be the phone. Had mine a week and a few times its not auto paired and on a few other occasions when playing music the track names are not updating on the car display. Never happened on my S6 with Nougat.
Bluetooth looks massively updated in Android O, hope Sony gets us the update quickly.

This is the problem I have. Got the latest 420d and the phone section works appart from no phone book access. No incoming call Ringtones. No connected drive app support and you cant play music from the phone using Bluetooth
Bluetooth issues have been bothering me since I upgraded from Xperia Z3 to XZ Premium. I have an android car head unit and the Z3 worked flawlessly for calls and media audio but the XZP will only give me media audio no matter what I try.

Bloody annoying or what?
I have the issue with my (both new) xz premium & renault megane. Phone connects to media settings, but not the phone settings then approx 3 mins later disconnects everything. It also won't show any album artwork/artist info. I hope Sony fix this soon as I'm about to scream.
Do the issues persist after the last updates? I plan to buy a XZP but I need bluetooth in my car so it will definitely guide my choice!
Hi. My XZP has updated to android 8 and now the Bluetooth works as expected ?
Oreo did not bring any change the problems persist

This did the trick for me: changed to BT AVRCP Ver 1.5
Spotify BT integration: Xperia XZ Premium G8141 (8.0.0 build 47.1.A.12.75) - BMW330e 2017
1. Enable developer mode:
system - about phone - build number - tap 7 times at "build number"
2. Set Bluetooth AVRCP to ver 1.5:
system - developer options - Bluetooth AVRCP Version - select "AVRCP 1.5"
3. Delete existing BT pairing and make a new one
Done!
