Unable to seek music while playing over Bluetooth - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. When I play music from my phone over a connected Bluetooth device such as a headset or car hands free system, I am unable to seek/skip forward or back in a track using that device's seek/skip controls. For example, if I wanted to skip 10-20 seconds into the song that was playing I am unable to do so. This does not seem to work with the the Oneplus 6 no matter which music app I use. I tried to do the same thing on my LG G6 on the same Bluetooth devices and they all work as expected. The music app I use is Google play music, however I have also tested other music app and the issue is the same one the Oneplus 6. I am unable to seek/skip forward while connected to any Bluetooth device using that device controls.

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.

[Q] Connecting two android devices for media control? Help

Hey guys, so I've been using my nexus 7 hooked up to my home speakers to play music for a while now. I've been trying to figure out a way that I can control my my nexus using my one x phone, either by bluetooth or wifi. There is an app called tablet remote that lets me do the exact thing I want, but I cant scroll through my library and choose another song, I can only use the next track, stop and play buttons. So I'm wondering if there is a way to pair the tablet and the smartphone together so that I can choose what song to play and what not. Thanks!

Bluetooth (AD2P) issue with Nougat

Hello,
I updated my P9 few days ago.
Everythings looks good except my bluetooth connection between my phone and my car.
Before this major upgrade, my phone and my car (VW) were well apaired.
Now i have some issues... AD2P connection failed most of time.
Google Music didn't launch directly, no auto-play music by the way....
I DON'T HAVE any problems with the phone connection, i can call and receive calls but can't play my music (via Google Music or Spotify).
Do you have any ideas or tips to help me ?
Thanks

Bluetooth Car Connection Spotify problem

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.

Song id over Bluetooth not showing

When I connect to my car (Volvo) with this phone and play music it just says 'streaming' on my car's display.
Usually it showed track number artist time etc..
Any idea why or how to fix?
Tried to switch to 1.3 instead of 1.4 in the settings but no luck.
I don't have phone but I use BT with music, podcast, audiobooks etc streaming to my car. Have you tried a different music player?

I got the phone two days ago, and also have a Volvo, so I know how convenient it is to see the track title and artist in the car display when using Bluetooth to stream audio. I'll see what mine does later today and let you know how that goes. Hope to get it working!
EDIT 3/9: Paired the phone to my Volvo and it took a while, but connected just fine. Went to media and played music in Youtube - it displays the youtube name in the Volvo screen. Used VLC to play some music from the device, got the artist and track name in the Volvo display also, so no problems here so far. Haven't tested it with other media players yet (I like to use blackplayer). So if you don't see the media info, what player are you using?
I use 'youtube music' and the screen just says 'streaming' oh and the name of.my phone
What happens when you use other apps? Have you tried deleting the device from the bluetooth paired list on the Volvo and pairing it again?
All apps just say 'streaming'.
I tried now to put bluetooth profile on 1.6.
But I can't test it I'm on holidays now..
