Android 12 no auto start music after wired or bluetooth headphones connect - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Hi ppl
Since upgrading to OOS12 I can't get music (Spotify) to start after any kind of headphones connection. Car bluetooth, Cardo Freecom (helmet), wired earphones, bluetooth headphones, nothing. Sometimes I get lucky to start music pressing Next on connected device, more often I have to start Spotify manually and start playback.
Did factory reset (complete) twice, same situation.
I can't find switch to autostart player anywhere. It used to be in Sounds->earphones.
Any help?

Wait for the next updates of OOS12 which can probably fix this or revert to OOS11 where this feature worked.

stereo bluetooth problem

I've search for over two hours but it seems ive learned alot but i still cant find my problem the problem is that every time i connect to my car kit windows media starts working but then after i turn off my car and then turn it back on the music comes out of phone. So how can i make it play again on my stereo without reconnecting. i have elite rc3 rom and it has a2dp included.
I don't have the same exact problem you do, but I have a stereo bluetooth headset (Jabra BT8010 [awesome headset btw]) and if you don't wait for your bt to connect to your phone first before you fire up WMP OR connect while WMP is playing, it will freak out and do wierd stuff. For me it would either ignore my connection and play out the phone's speaker or play in my headset in mono mode in horrifyingly bad quality.
I hope that helps

How to pause music when the power of a2dp/avrcp device is turned off

My situation is when my 586w is paired with the car stereo (Dual XHD 7714), whenever I turn off the car engine in music streaming mode, the music playing will then switch to the phone. However if I press the pause key on the head unit before I turn off the engine, the music playing will then pause accordingly.
That's kind of annoying because I have to manually pause the music on the phone if I forget pressing a key on the head unit first before I shut the car engine down.
I've tried flashing the 6.1 & 6.5 rom from guohuageng & Gregorys but both gave me the same result.
I've also tried paring the bluetooth stereo headset to the phone and also gave me the same result.
At last I tried to connect the iphone and a sony ericsson phone with the car stereo and both devices pause the music beautifully when I turn off the car engine in the music streaming mode.
I've search through the forum and it seems no one mentions there is a problem here.
It seems to me that it is the rom problem. Do I have to registry edit or switch to another rom to solve the problem? Any help would be appreciated.
oh well, What I understand,
You want to make phone pause the music accordingly when u turn off the engine (while not pressing the pbutton on headset)
This isnt rom's problem, tis kinda problem exists with every rom coz u havent pressed any pause key on phone rather on headset. (just like in case of wired headset where if u disconnect ur wired headset and didnt pause, ur music will shift to phone speaker)
The same characteristic applies to A2DP as well
Well, it's strange. I've already tested the iphone 3G and sony ericsson phone paired with the car stereo, both phones would pause the music when I turn off the engine. But it is true that I haven't tested the other A2DP devices with those phone. Let me tested them out in the weekend and see what's happen. Thanks for your reply.

Bluetooth Fix

Is there anyway to fix the Bluetooth streaming? I hoped maybe another audio app would be more streamlined than the one that comes preloaded with the phone, but they don't allow me to stream music through bluetooth. Right now my phone sucks at streaming music, even when I close every other app open. My last phone never had any problems at all with A2DP, but I can't get this one to play music at the same level which is a major buzz kill. If no fixes are known, is it reasonable to think that this situation might be alleviated with the Froyo update?
I'm having the same problem, and it's a deal breaker for me. I need the bluetooth A2DP to work. This same headset worked on my Fuze for over a year. When I use the headset on the Captivate, the sound starts and after a minute it fades out to nothing. I've tried Dogg Catcher and the default player.
I dont know...I got a blueant Q1 when I bought the phone and I've no issues using mortplayer, default video player, pandora and radiotime over it.
I did have one problem, when i first connected it, my bluetooth was connected as a single bluetooth. I disconnected and unpaired, then repaired and instead of the phone icon next to my bluetooth device in settings I now have a headset icon. So any sound whatsoever that comes over the phone from 'tap' sounds to games to music comes over my blueant....
Main thing I had to do was unpair and repair to make sure I had headphones icon next to my bluetooth device in Settings-wireless and network-bluetooth settings
I am hoping we can get better sound quality with Froyo. My Old Tilt sounded better than this.
I figured it out. My headset is a Jabra 8010. Factory default on the headset fixed it. First I unpaired it from the phone, just for good measure. Turned off the media player, turned off the bluetooth signal and headset. Turned the headset, defaulted it, then turned on the phone's bluetooth, then the player. Not sure if all that was needed but, it's working.
And the sound is much 'richer' than when it was paired with my Fuze.

Bluetooth Issue

I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.
With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.
Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.
Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.
I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.
Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?
This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.

After 8.1 update can pause but cannot unpause audio via LG Tone bluetooth headset

Both my wife and I have the Pixel 2 (non-XL) and both have LG Tone bluetooth headsets. I have the 810 model and she has the 820.
After receiving the 8.1 update, both of us can pause whatever audio is playing over the headsets using the headsets play/pause controls but both cannot unpause the audio from the headset.
This is pretty frustrating for both of us as we both tend to listen to a lot of audio books and it is a very common thing to do throughout a day to pause the audio then unpause.
What's interesting though is in my car (Honda Accord) I can pause and unpause without issue from the controls and in my wife's vehicle (Nissan Rouge) it works as well.
This would point to something specific with the LG's or they type of headsets or perhaps using a combo play/pause is the issue? In my car I have a separate button to play and to pause. In my wife's Rouge, it's on-screen touch controls, not a physical button.
Has anyone else run into this issue after receiving 8.1? Has anyone found any solutions to make it work again?
I have fully removed the headset and re-added it. I did a factory reset on my headset. Rebooted the phones a number of times. It will never unpause only but will pause the audio without issue.
Edit: I tried doing a "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth" just to see if that helped and it did not reset any of my Bluetooth settings! I rebooted and tried again and it resets my Wi-Fi saved networks but my Bluetooth devices that have been or are paired persist. Has anyone else run into this?
I made a post over at Reddit about this as well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...t_network_settings_pixel_2_nonxl_81_does_not/
Edit: I did a full factory image reinstall from the downloaded image via fastboot/adb and still have the same result.
I seem to be getting further by trying different combinations in the developer menu for the bluetooth settings. Now if the last used audio app is closed and I push play on the headset it will reopen that app. Prior to 8.1 it would do that and also start playing the audio from the last used app. It's a step in the right direction. I did find a workaround for my most used audio app which is Smart Audiobook Player under the troubleshooting settings to force pause/unpause which seems to work for just that app at least. I still cannot unpause music from the Play Music app or the Audible app though.
