I have had this problem ever since i got the Sensation and it doesn't matter what ROM i use, it's the same on every ROM. I have a samsung home surround sound system that i can connect to my phone through Bluetooth to enable me to play songs through the system. It works perfectly until the WIFI connection is being used on my phone. For example i could be streaming my music through BT and the WIFI is on, if the WIFI starts to be used for data like a Facebook notification or me opening my phones browser, then the song will start skipping and jumping. Normally it's not an issue but I've downloaded the Google Music App so that i can store all my songs online and that way i don't have to use my phone/cards storage space but as i want to play the music through my surround sound, i will have to be connected to both WIFI and BT.
Any suggestions why this does this?
As the title states, I've been having BT issues since day one with this phone. I have the phone paired to my 2012 Toyota Camry, but the car interface simply shows 'STREAMING AUDIO' as soon as the phone is connected via BT. problem with that is that the interface only shows streaming audio when something is actually being played. That isn't the case with the 1+1. I am not playing any audio, or making any calls, yet the car interface will show 'STREAMING AUDIO', with no sound being output whatsoever.
Intermittently, however, the phone will start Google Play Music as soon as BT connectivity is established, and play an Unknown Track, even though I have no music or audio files on the phone. This doesn't happen all the time, however. I've tried closing all Google Play processes to see if that will help, but I've had no luck.
I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing its an OS problem.
Bumping this thread. Still looking for a solution to this problem.
Bump, with an update.
I finally got around to purchasing some music thru Google Play, and it seems as if the Bluetooth will stream audio only played thru Google Play Music. YouTube et al still do not work, however.
The weird part here is that I've been using the app "YouListen", which allows me to play YouTube audio while in the background. I noticed that whenever I am playing simultaneously through YouListen and Google Play Music, I will get audio from both streams. Shutting off Google Play Music will shut all audio off.
I read around, and there seems to be an issue with specific models in which Google Play Music gets first dibs on streaming audio, and so there is an option in Google Play Music to shut this off in order to play audio through other apps. However, the 1+1 doesn't have such an option, so I'm not sure the problem lies there.
Again, any help would be appreciated.

Ive been having the same types of issues plus when im making a phone call through my car somtimes BT randomly disconnects!
Hi All,
not sure if this is the right section but seeing how I think it is not rom/android specific but rather a setting I am forgetting somewhere in my bluetooth/chromecast/google play music I decided to put it here.
I recently bought a Logitech bluetooth adapter to stream my music (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/bluetooth-audio-adapter?crid=47) and everything worked well on my Nexus tablet.
But today I decided to pair my phone, which works perfect but when I went out my Google Play music doesn't play any audio anymore (bsplayer or the stock music player work, as do the notifications).
I noticed that the streaming only works when the chromecast notification is visible (ie Google Play music has to be closed when opening the bluetooth connection).
Does anyone know how to get Google Play music work again with my headphones?
Many thanks!
Can Pixel play streaming, not stored, music via USB? If it does, how do I make it work?
When I had iPhone I often streaming from Google Play Music while trickle charging. It also sounded better than playing via BT.
I've been using Amazon Music on the U11 and noticed that it stutters when playing downloaded offline prime music (drm .m4a, not purchased) when connected to a car audio bluetooth (Jeep & BMW). When connected to car bluetooth, streaming via network (wifi/cellular) is no problem but it will always stutter when playing the offline music. Playing from internal memory or sd card didn't make a difference and I've tried it on the most recent OTA with the same result. Also tried disabling the battery optimizer for Amazon Music.
After starting Amazon Music, the first song always plays without stutter but as soon as you change tracks, it will stutter even when returning to the first non-stuttering song. I don't have this issue while connected to plain bluetooth speakers or playing through the phone's speaker or using headphones. No issues with other phones (M9 or S7) or playing local mp3 files using Subsonic . Can anyone else verify this behavior with Amazon Music and playing offline music in your car?
