Question Pixel 7 Pro Bluetooth Issues | Spotify | AirPods Pro2 and more - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Hello everyone,
I can't establish a persistent Bluetooth connection with my Pixel 7 Pro and other devices like my car or AirPods Pro 2. The connection always breaks after around 60 seconds when a) listening to music with AirPods Pro 2 and b) listening to music in the car (Mercedes GLE 2022 with MBUX). Devices were already resetted, connections were re-established and all other steps from the Google instructions were followed.
Interesting: if the display stays on and the app is open, it works perfectly. Does anyone here have an idea?
More issues sind I have Pixel 7 Pro (with OnePlus it all worked):
Album cover for spotify songs are no more visible in the car
Update: "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" helped at least for AirPods Pro 2. Now I need to get Spotify running with all metadata and art cover.

Here are two screenshots with Spotify open (you can see cover) and Spotify closed (you cant see cover).

Sounds like it could be a Spotify issue. I use USB Audio Player in my Jeep, Work vehicle(Ford Escape) and Audio Technics AZ60 earbuds. I listen to music for hours uninterrupted in all 3 situations.

Try changing the bluetooth avrcp version to 1.6 in developer settings, restart, and see if there are still metadata issues

It works with 4 other phones & Spotify. I don't think this is the issue.

I tried that and 1.4 but it was all still the same. Maybe do I need to do something additional? I also disconnected bluetooth and established a new connection.
The look changes when you have Spotify open and screen turned on and when you turn it off. It is so strange... Same goes for youtube music and other media apps.

It may be a Spotify issue. BT connection on my Pixel Buds Pro, Liberty Air 2 Pro, car, etc is solid.
I have yet to experience any issues

Glad to hear it works fine for you However, why should Spotify not work on Pixel 7 Pro but work on all our other smartphones?

I'm having some Bluetooth issues with my Pixel 7 Pro connection with MBUX.
A lot of times when I'm getting incoming calls, I can't answer them by pressing Accept on my MBUX screen. I see that that phone is connected otherwise the person calling name would not show up on my cars screen.
On MBUX I try to reconnect my Pixel 7Pro but it says connection failed on my car.
Anyone else having this issue with the Pixel 7?

No problems here so far with Bluetooth and Pixel 7 Pro. I'm using it together with Samsung Galaxy Buds and the Navigationsystem of my Hyundai.
Maybe check whether there is an Update available for your Mercedes Benz Navigationsystem?
In the past I had problems with my old OPPO Find X3 Pro and the Hyundai Navigationsystem. It was solved by a combination of updating the Navigationsystems Firmware and updating the firmware of the OPPO Device.
Good Luck.

No issues here....I have a 2020 Honda CR-V .
Spotify covers always show for me.
Airpods pro, sony BT buds work fine all day..

"The problem is that sometimes we are already listening to audio in the device's speakers, and then suddenly we want to switch the output to our a2dp headsets - this is sometimes problematic, as the First audio driver changes from "Audio Output" to "Bluetooth Adv. Audio Output" and the applications currently playing audio need to be restarted.
For such issues, I have provided a tool, as freeware, that will install as a today plugin and offer the user the possibility of instantly switching the audio between Device Speaker and A2DP Stereo Headset.
It is designed for WM6.0, Microsoft Bluetooth stack, please download it and let me know how it works for you. There are some more modifications that will be done, so this is only Beta-1 "

New in this release (as many users requested):
-bluetooth link signal indicator (it actually shows the signal strength of the device-headset connection)
-3 modes for headset: OK, Off, Err
-settings panel added
-Handle Bluetooth option
-Execute File after start option
-applet added in start->settings->system to start settings

thank you too, radhoo for keeping us updated
@ radhoo:
The play button doesn't work on my MIO A700. I have checked the "Handle Bluetooth" option and when I press the play button a message appairs and says: "First pair blabla ... "
Do you have a solution for me??

You first have to pair the headset before you can play anything. That's why the play button isn't working.

There was a little problem in identifying an A2DP device among other BT devices.
The previous post is updated with the new RC-2 version. Please re-download the CABs and reinstall this new version.
Those of you who had problems before will have them fixed with this release.
EDIT: it's too hard to upload new versions in each post, download the CABs from here:

Radhoo, thanks again for the update.
Need to start BT manually before pushing Start/Play
@radhoo,
Thanks for this tool, been using it since you released previous version here, works great and saves having to go into Bluetooth>Settings>Devices (although I use a shortcut) every time to connect A2DP properly.
v1.0 RC-2 is cool, now I don't have to start up the player after connecting my headphones but the Handle Bluetooth Automatically option doesn't appear to be working how it is mean to.
After installing RC-2 I re-paired the headphones but when BT is turned off the A2DP device shows Off. This means pushing Start/Play only turns on BT and have to push Start/Play again to connect the device. Is this how it is meant to work?
I would have thought once the device is paired and in the BT>Settings>Devices list the A2DP status would remain On.
Keep up the good work, be cool to be able to turn on BT, pair device and start palyer with one touch!
However my Artemis needs to find to it a A2DP DEVICEs can, like that it somewhat longer would be beautiful to examine either whether A2DP was successful, or however a WAIT COMMAND with x seconds to insert.
Thx

The teksoft website appears to have been replaced (hijacked?), none of the links are working.
I'm really keen to test out this app as I've been looking everywhere for just this, is there any chance someone could post up the .cab file? The zip file posted by radhoo only include a PDF instruction file, not the actual app itself.
Much appreciated

Thanks for that but it's not really what I'm after. That product offers routing for the system audio to mono bluetooth headsets that don't support a2dp.
My phone and headset support stereo a2dp, and I've got the audio working well so I can listen to music from my bluetooth headset. All I was after was a small program (a2dp toggle) that gives me a shortcut on the today screen so i can easily switch a2dp onto wireless stereo, without going through the menu system everytime I connect.
A2DP Toggle appeared to do exactly that, but now I just can't find it anywhere as the links to teksoftco.com aren't working.

Thanks very much mate, that's fantastic, just what I was looking for.
this plugin is killing my battery. i only used it for testing when i originally installed it and i never kept the plugin on my today screen. last night i was playing with it and decide to leave the plugin on the today screen. i woke up today and 50% of my battery was drained. i simply charged it up again tested it and noticed 6% drain in 1hr. disabled the plugin and after 1 hr i was still at 100%. i did this twice with the same results. its a shame cause it works flawlessly.
I have also problems with battery drain but only about 1% per hour in suspend. What seems to help is to turn bluetooth off and on. Anyway that would kill the purpose of this great app: to simplify using bluetooth.
I'm also having a battery drain problem on my Tytn-II
I also noticed something else that is perhaps a bug. I have two bluetooth devices that support the A2DP Wireless Stereo service. When I use A2DPConnect, it does properly connect to my headphones and stream audio however on the today screen plug-in it shows that there is no signal and that the stereo headphones are off. I wonder if this is related to the fact that I have two A2DP devices paired with my Tytn-II?

[Q] Jawbone Prime & Sensation 4G problems

I had no problem pairing my Jawbone Prime bluetooth headset with my old Nokia 5800. All the functions worked perfectly.
Since I moved to HTC Sensation 4G, I noticed these problems:
1. Every time I disconnect & reconnect the BT, the volume goes to minimum. It doesn't keep the previous volume setting.
2. When I play a music/video, the sound goes through phone speaker right away. I couldn't find the setting to make it goes to my BT instead.
3. The voice dial feature from BT is no longer available. Is it because now they use Google voice search? This is inconvenient because before I can activate voice dial just by holding my Jawbone's volume button. Now I have to get my phone and unlock screen, input security code, press voice search..etc.
Is anyone having similar problems or other problems?
If yes, is there a way to fix these?
Thank you,

I have a Jawbone 2 so it's not quite the same I guess but I'll try to answer some of it...
1) I don't have this problem. keeps my volume setting.
2) same issue. I also have this problem with turn by turn navigation. it goes to my speaker on the phone even though I have the bluetooth setup.
I've read other people with different headsets working fine, though in nav, it cuts off first part of the direction... so I guess it's a blessing in disguise?
anyway, I'm beginning to think it's a Jawbone issue?
3) there is a work around this...
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-SENSATION-4G/Bluetooh-Voice-Dialing-FIX/m-p/894213#M4273
only thing is you need to find the apk for choice dialer as it's not available for our phone on the market...
kind of a pain but it works.
anyway, hope that helps you out a little.

As the issue no.1, finally I got it fixed by disconnecting the Jawbone (unpair from phone) and pair it back. Apparently that solve the volume issue.
For No.2, I called Jawbone and they don't know what to do either. I'm going to try another BT from Jabra and see if the problem persist. If not that means something is wrong with Jawbone.
Thanks for the info for issue no.3
Yes, it seems I need to find out where that apk for Choice Dialer. It's not in android market yet.

I just checked the specs of the jawbone prime at jawbones website. You need to have A2DP ( Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) feature on your earpiece in order to listen to music/tv/gps navigation (anything other than phone calls), and the prime does not have that feature. If you were getting media through your nokia wiith the prime then consider yourself lucky lol, you shouldn't have been able to. Just make sure your next BT has A2DP and you're all set. They do make apps that will send media through youre BT but the sound quality is pretty poor IMO. Search Bluetooth in the market if you want to try one.

[Q] How to display Bluetooth track info?

Other Android phones are able to display track info "Artist, Song" on my car's stereo. The S6 connects but doesn't display any track info, even when using the same apps and mp3s as before. It will accept music controls (skip track, volume).
Anyone know how to go about troubleshooting this? Or is there a secret setting to make sure track data is displayed? I don't know where to start. AFAIK 4.3 added AVRCP support, so in theory 5.0 should have it too.
So far I've cleared all and re-added only the S6 to the car stereo.
Skimmed the bluetooth log in /Android/data
Checked the files in /etc/bluetooth
This is what I was searching for as well. With my Nexus 5 I had no problem displaying music information on my car's head unit, but this one doesn't for whatever reason. Stock Android has this feature so why would Samsung remove it? Blows my mind.
Either Samsung broke it or they are not using AVRCP properly for BT streaming.
I lost it too coming from the M8 and N5 on my Acura TL.
Mine displays music info. Track and artist. Just connected like normal. May be because my head unit is a aftermarket pioneer.

I think it's an underlying Samsung issue cause if a player fixes it, then it will only work for the music tracks already on the phone.
My Songza streaming info doesn't display anymore since I got the S6 as well.
@boomer8403 if you're game, would you give Player Pro a try to compare? Like @Elisha said I don't *think* it comes down to the app, but I don't actually know. That head unit it supports AVRCP 1.3, which I think is the minimum version that supports sending the track info. Supposedly AVRCP 1.3 was included beginning with Android 4.3.
Does anyone know how to test or check what version AVRCP is actually on the S6?
I've been trying to find apps or even enter the service menu to figure out if it is using ACRCP 1.3/1.5 or another BT protocol like HPF since Friday but so far nothing.
Although I have to say that some head units are also pickier than other.
My 2012 Outlander XLS/GT can display track info from my iPod Tough 4G but it won't on my 2012 Acura TL.
But like I mentioned before, the N5, OPO and M8 all displayed track info for MP3s as well as Songza without issues!
So hopefully Samsung fixes it.
I recall reading somewhere that Samsung broke it with a version of JB but fixed it with a subsequent update later on.
Same problem here connecting the S6 edge to a BMW 5 series. No track info on Google Play, only sometimes with the internal player and no song duration. Further very erratic behavior such as disconnects, no last caller lists etc. Very poor and dangerous when driving. Apparently hardly tested by Samsung. Connecting my HTC M7, M8 and even 120 eur Moto G Works flawless. I am afraid I will have to return my edge because of this.
From Note 4 forums if I understood well, samsung is now using avrcp 1.4 so units with avrcp 1.3 lose the remote controls.
Please can you check if your head units are avrcp 1.3?

The newer AVRCP is supposed to be backwards compatible. That's what's broken. No more backward compatibility. In my case, its not like Acura is gonna release a firmware update for my car just so that the S6 will work so its up to Samsung to fix compatibility!

Can you check in the playstore if there is any app for the car stereo brand?
If not you will have to root your S6 and try some third party music apps that could have their own BT modules, or wait for custom kernels

It's a 1 DIN or 2 DIN size?
It will sound crazy but worst case scenario you can change your head unit with adapter for controls on wheel.
If it's a 2 DIN you can get a 7'' mirror link Pioneer, clarion...you will feel liek having a new car inside.
The thing is that since samsung udated their BT modules to 4.1 it broke AVRCP, HTC M8 works ok but even M9 is now 4.1 and I have no clue if they have the same problems.
It could be an Android + BT 4.1 bug that needs a fix from google
Its the built in ELS system with 8" Navi. Not replacing it over a phone!
My M8 worked fine so does my OPO and my N5.
Its not the BT version itself, cause my iPod touch stopped working after an iOS update.
Its the protocol. Some vehicles are pickier than others. My Mitsubishi with Nav can still display the iPod metadata but the Acura can't anymore.
This issue is present on the LG G3, Nexus 6, Note 4 and S6.
Fortunately, I read it was completely fixed on the Nexus 6 once it was upgraded to 5.1.
Once we get 5.1, it should work fine again.

My favorite feature

Using the secondary display as and application switcher. I really hope LG expands on this.

The 4 way DAC, with a semi-decent connected headphone and listening to a local FLAC, at least 24\96, has made me grateful we evolved with 2 ears. Led Zeppelin (the 45 RPM version )with the V-Moda wireless (though connected with it's included braided cable) has opened music, that I know very well, in a wonderful manner.
I had the Sony MDR7506 at 63 ohms and it made the hair stand up. I've returned it and ordered the BeyerDynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohms Studio Headphones. High Definition music, and a headphone that triggers the DAC, will make every other phone, you have listened to, into a Hodor. My mobile phone music player history goes back to the Seimens SX66 (from 2004) and 20 or so other phones that could play locally stored music. This thing is a beast.
Good stuff!

When I was considering the V20 I was like, ok it has good audio, but whatever. I focused more on the removable battery, screen size, second screen and overall specs.
After trying the DAC with my Audio Technica noise cancelling headphones I am like WOW! And that's with no special music, just regular mp3s. Is like that every instrument and voice is in the room next to you when the DAC is activated! I am glad that LG took the effort to develop a high quality feature. Now I don't mind that I paid the early adopter fee (usually after few months phones like these are much cheaper on eBay) of paying regular price.
My other favorite and more practical feature is the second screen. I was used to the LED of my Nexus 5 and was a little bit concerned about getting used to the second screen. That said I usually look at my phone from 1-2 feet anyway when I want to check for new notifications and in this context the second is much better because I can see the notification icons.
The second screen can be used to control your music as well!

The only annoying thing about music player on second screen is that when playing music on lockscreen it doesn't stay on music player (it keeps going back to default screen). I have to keep swiping it back to music screen everytime I want to change a song.
This evening I went to a small recital to try and record in 24\192 again. My 2 previous shows had been disappointments with the result. It was mostly my fault but I took steps to correct my methods. Wow! I don't what the 2 auto modes are for but when I managed the gain and clipping in the manual mode, I got HD tracks that are worthy of commercial releases. One I got my fat fingers out of the way, and started sampling the results, between songs, this is my next favorite feature.
I also love the removable battery and SD card slot but I have had 3 LG phones before and trusted the engineering.

If your headphones have controls (specifically an answer/disconnect button) you can double tap the answer button to skip to the next song.

Bluetooth problem with AirPods

Hello everyone. I have installed the february update on my A51, lots of bugs fixed, but when I tried to use Spotify with Apple AirPods the music keeps breaking.
I was afraid that it was a problem in the phone, but when I connected a BT speaker, it worked perfectly. I don't have another pair of BT headphones to test if it was a problem of the Airpods, I use them with Windows on my laptop and they work great, also tested a Galaxy A30 and they also worked fine, but on my A51 they seem to fail.
Anyone else with problems with Bluetooth, or with Airpods specifically?

Hi. I can confirm the issues with Apple Airpods 2. Shure 215 BT work fine and the Airpods stutter and seem to disconnect from time to time. They are not usable with the Galaxy A51. It gets better if I turn off wireless but that is not an option.

Without case it works. But the case shouldn't be a problem. Its weird
With a thin case it is good but with a thick case it is not.

I think its a problem D: but support advice to bring phone to a service to reinstall software
I reveal the secret. must first be paired without a case for the codec to switch to ACC. Because SBC will stay.

1. I need first unpair it
2. Remove case and pair again
3. After that leave acc codec? And it should works?
I do the same things and reset bt cash and data just changing acc to sbc helps
Remove the case from the phone. Pair the Airpods. The bluetooth codec automatically switches from SBC codec to AAC codec.

Maybe it has another optimization switch that can help to give better performance for aac?
I don't have this problem with Airpods 2. I reset the phone back to the factory after the upgrade.
