Podcast playback keeps failing when bluetooth connected - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This might be a tricky one.
So I have a Oneplus 3, with the new OxygenOS android 7.0 beta installed (Although I had this problem on MM too!).
When I listen to podcasts, it often just either pauses or straight up fails every couple of minutes. This interval is seemingly random, but most times around every 2-20 minutes. This happens with all players I've tested, both BeyondPod and Pocket Casts. This does NOT happen with Spotify or Google play. It also only happens when I have a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphones connected.
I've tried to turn off all battery optimizations for the App, and I've even tried to completely wipe the device and install a new recovery. Nothing seems to work.

Bluetooth: no track info and external control if display is off

Sinced I'm switched from my Nexus 5 to the Elephone P9000 I'm having following issues with two different car audio systems and also with the Stock and Eragon ROM:
Connecting my phone with the car works fine and it also playing audio, but I don't receive any track info (artist, song, etc.) when I use Spotify at the car audio system and I'm only able to skip/pause/start songs from the car audio system if the display of the smartphone is on.
I tried to find any settings but nothing worked...
Does anyone having the same issues or solved it?
I have the same isssue with both Bluetooth devices and plugged in headphones. Buttons for song control only work when screen is turned on.
This seems to be an OS issue. Hopefully they get it fixed with Nougat
No Issues like yours, here. Just Stange behaviour at the beginning of a track, that is played faster (2-5 seconds).
For track Infos try the App "autoaudio" helped me with my G2 Back then.

Bluetooth streaming Audio - car stereo

Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

tried that, still no joy
I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in the first song. ?
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10. when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.

Huawei Mate 10 Lite sound problems

Hello! I've searched everywhere for answers and fixes about my problem, but unfortunetly I didn't find anything.
Problem 1: Since I installed the latest update to Oreo [RNE-L21I 8.0.0.332 (C432)] I have problem with the stock EQ, and others from the Play Store - when bass boost is turned on, the sound from headphones is awful. When bass boost is turned off this issue disappears, but is annoying since I really enjoyed the sound before installing this update. I tried different pairs of headphones, different EQ apps, restarting, Hard resseting, etc. no fix unless I turn off bass boost.
Problem 2: When I connect my phone via AUX cable to my car, home subwoofer or anything like that music play normally for 2-3 mins then somehow volume is turned down (and when I check is turned to the max, so it's not that the volume is turned down to protect the hearing) and the only fix is to get out the cable and insert it again. This is also really annoying, because I can't listen to one song normally. Yes, I tried different cable (like I already said it happens to different devices), hard resseting and etc. And yes, the problem is still on when I use the stock music app, YouTube and other apps, so it's not an issue with the app. I also found out that my dad has the same issue with his Huawei Y5 II.
I really look forward to any fix since I really enjoy this phone, it's been only a month since I bought it and yes, it is in warranty but I want to try anything that I can do to fix this before I send it.

Bluetooth music works for about 1 minute and then stops, track info wrong

This started happening a few days ago and at first I thought it was just random issue, but its happening everytime.
The phone is Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro running MIUI 11 (11.0.3.0) and Android 10.
What's happening is that I am able to connect to my car's BT fine. I can make phone calls fine.
But when I play music, it will work with correct track info for only the 1st song, MAYBE the 2nd song.
For example, if I start a song and 30 seconds in I go to next song, the audio changes but meta data (track info) takes around 15-20 seconds to change. Once this starts happening, I have no more control of music from my car.
A few seconds later after that, music will stop streaming. My car and phone both show they are still connected and my phone is still playing the music.
After about 5 minutes or so, a random clip of music will play that was supposed to play like 3-4 minutes ago, could be even from a different song then what the phone is playing currently.
This really sucks because it was working fine before with the same phone! Other peoples phones work fine with the car.
Something to mention: I think it has to do with A2DP?
Also, there is an option in developer settings "Disable Bluetooth A2DP Hardware Offload". I can toggle this setting but I don't think it works. When I toggle that setting, the toggle becomes blue but then goes back to the left and phone prompts me "You must reboot to apply this setting". I press OK and it reboots, after the reboot the setting is still disabled and in Android Properties (using SetEdit app) I can see
"vendor.audio.feature.a2dp_offload.enable=true", but I cannot modify this I think. I'm not positive this has anything to do with it, but just some thoughts.
What I've tried:
Delete BT pairs, re-pair BT
upgrade car BT software
Used all AVCRP versions (reboot phone and car after each change)
Reinstall MIUI 11 update (same version I already have, just reinstall incase corrupt)
Rooted phone > edit build.prop > disable av.media.offload
I'm not a newbie user, I work as a software dev for a living but this one has me scratching my head. Any help at all is appreciated!
Did you manage to fix it? please tell us how, if you did

S21 and Bluetooth Media

Hi,
Whenever my phone connects to my car's bluetooth, it will automatically start playing the last media I played. The problem, is that I will go DAYS without ever using media on my phone so I will resume a podcast from last week despite the fact that the podcast app is closed. I notice that even when I force stop the app, I can go into the Menu, go to Media, and still see it sitting there with no way to close it. Also, if I pause the media...after a while my car will disconnect from the bluetooth and then reconnect...which then resumes the media again. Oh, and if I get a notification about something like an email...you guessed it, the media will resume again. This is beyond frustrating because I often like to go on quiet car rides...and again this happens even when I force close the app (podcast, spotify, whatever).
This was also an issue with my S10, but not my Pixels. This has to be a OneUI or Galaxy specific issue. I have seen mentions of this bt/media issue in other boards when searching but the only thing I have seen to semi fix the problem is by setting up Tasker.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue and has resolved it. I am also wondering if there is a way to switch to a vanilla android os ROM so I don't have to use OneUI anymore. To clarify, I have been using Nova, but that doesn't change how the phone handles media.
Thank you for your help.
