Hi Guys
Strange one here.
I picked up a new van tonight with a bluetooth stereo that supports streaming audio over bluetooth so i thought i would give it a go.. music played but then kept on skipping to the next track. weird i thought and played around but couldnt get it to stop doing it.
I then dropped it into car mode (with no charger attached) and the thing will now not come out of car mode every time i press the home button it loads car mode. restarted several times and still does it. It also keeps randomly starting to play music!
When i plug in the USB cable the home button returns to its function of opening all panels preview or returning to home, but the music keeps on randomly starting... oh and now it keeps going to the panel preview by itself.
Anyone else had this? its doing my head in.. its as tho someone is controlling it!

if you can get into settings go to apps > all and find "car" click it and trying clearing data if that doesn't work go back and disable it, that should stop it coming up till you find a fix.
Also i believe that the "skip" on BT headphones is due to Beats Audio nopt sure if that's track skipping or just the music stopping for a seconds either way try disabling beats.
Thanks..
I disabled car app but it carried on doing it.. which was wierd. Restarted it a few more times and it carried on doing it and playing music randomly.
I uninstalled Jays headset control and it seems to have stopped it (as did pressing the power button for 10sec+) may try installing jays again... and try it.
Is jays capable of controlling bluetooth also? i will try enabling car app too.
Any one know of a headset control that allows configurable button presses but works on just the plugin headset?
when i mentioned skip.. it was actual track skip to the next track.. rather the 1.26 skip which was a noise while playing the track..
As a side note.. when i plugged the usb into the computer the 'what do you want to do' type window didnt appear as it should. With the hard restart and jays gone.. it now does!
Cheers for the reply..
Steve
OK tried it in the van this morning, and i now have NO issues.
Looks like Jays was the culprit, worked great for wired but not so for bluetooth. It now works extremely well with the car stereo with the exception that it doesnt transmit the track name etc.. but that may be the headunit (standard hyundai one)
Thanks

I've been using my Galaxy 3 for a couple years with my car's stereo to listen to MP3s and Audio Books and hoped to continue doing the same with my new Note 4 DE.
Previously, once everything was paired up and working fine, if I turned off the car to go into a store or work or whatever, when I got back in and started the car up, after a couple seconds the bluetooth device would just continue playing where I left off.
Now, when I start the car the stereo flashes "acquiring Bluetooth data" and then for like half a second it shows the normal screen with the info on what the phone is trying to play, like track listings and all that, then instantly flashes back to the "acquiring..." message, and repeats endlessly.
I have to turn off Bluetooth on the phone for a second to get it to stop, then I re activate Bluetooth and have to either re-pair, or change the stereo source to FM/CD/etc, then back to Bluetooth, and then it will start working as intended.
This thing is brand new, all stock software except the basic root done on it.
It's not a Bluetooth or note 4 issue and maybe more of an interoperability issue. I have a Rav4 with my note 4 stock retail and it functions like you describe with automatically starting when I enter the car. It starts where I left off.
My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
Any and all suggestions would be great. Also right now I am on rooted stock 5.0.1
PS: I will try and post some photos to help when I get the chance to get to my car.
I've been start for a solution to this since the phone came out as well. I have the same Bluetooth issues with my phone in my car. Nothing more annoying than having to turn Bluetooth on and off for 10-15 minutes of your drive before you can use the damn thing. Oh wait, more annoying would be when it's been working for a solid 45 minutes or so and then suddenly, with no warning, the Bluetooth connection ends for no reason and your cars stereo comes on instead of what you were streaming only the volume on the cars radio is far louder and it scares the ever living crap out of you

Odd....I dont seem to have that issue. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music.
In the car I don't get a lot of skipping. But when connected to my BT speakers audio does skip a lot and starts playing in ffw then disconnects completely. It's driving me nuts. I've tried all the usual trouble shooting also. No help. Wtf Samsung/Google
When I set my Shutdown Delay When ACC Off to anything but zero, the bluetooth stays on when I turn off my car. I usually connect my bluetooth headphones when getting out of the car, but my iPhone reconnects to the headunit unless I'm really far away. I don't want to lose the convenience of the delayed shut down nor the convenience of auto connecting when I first get in my car. So, I've tried to create a Tasker profile that will turn off bluetooth, but I can't seem to find the right parameters. Any idea how to have bluetooth turn off when the headunit first enters Delayed Shutdown?
FYI: I'm on the latest Malaysk ROM.
I would be interested in a solution to this as well.
I think what you are looking for is a sleep or shutdown intent. I have a vague memory of someone talking about this in the origional very long thread. Might be worth searching throu that for intent or intents.
Any update regarding this issue?
Anyone else having issues with connecting the 7T to their car and getting audio going out of it? My OG Pixel didn't have a problem, but I have to toggle off/toggle on Bluetooth and then manually tap the car's bluetooth listing to get it to actually 'connect' the audio portion.
Rather annoying, considering I'm only in the car for a few minutes at a time, this either eats into the time entirely, or makes me sit in my car for a couple minutes before even driving to fiddle with the bluetooth settings.
Car has stock headunit, 2015 Evo X. Like I said, original Pixel XL had no issues, but this is annoying. I've tried changing bluetooth versions to no avail. I can see it connecting and dropping the bluetooth connection fairly frequently while staring at it and trying to 'get it going'. But once it connects, it stays there.
My bluetooth headphones (Some knock off cheap Chinese ones for $20) don't seem to have an issue.
My connection to my aftermarket stereo is fine. Just seems a little quieter than my last phone. Connecting is kind of slow too when I start my car but it is automatic.
I don't have any issues with connecting to all 3 cars (2014 Honda Accord, 2009 Pontiac G8 Gt and a 2018 Honda Fit) but I do agree that the volume seems a little lower than my previous phone (Galaxy S8).

Hmm. Weird. Is there anyway I can check for logs to find out what exactly is happening? I haven't rooted, just don't know if it's something I can naturally pull from Android as a whole.
I had the same issue, but when I made the phone discoverable and initiated bt from the car stereo it seemed to work.
I also set a custom pin , not the default 0000
My bluetooth is quiet, but its also static-y. I never had any issues with my G6 and now I get static clipping every 10 or so seconds. Its unbearable.

I'm not really having an issue pairing it, but it's just connecting after pairing is the problem.
I have changed the default pin. I can see it popping up and down the car stereo a few times in the bluetooth settings before it just gives up.
As for the other issues, I'm not having a problem at all with audio volume, nor popping/static when it finally does connect.
My volume is super low when connected to Android Auto and streaming music. Have to turn the radio up to max. However, I'm assuming that's an AA issue or Android issue, as it seems many others are having the same problem with different phones. Been thinking of adding an aftermarket amp to the car. Maybe I should pull the trigger. Lol

Be careful that a bugfix doesn't come and blow your eardrums out, lol.

My OnePlus 7t connects fine and phone works for calls on 2014 cts. The sound comes out of phone can change song on head unit but I can't get audio to play through car. Anyone else get this?
Yeah music stutters with car player... Only calls work. Music works on headphones etc. I couldn't find solution, did network reset, cleared cache. Nothing works.
Seriously!
I've wasted at least two hours already trying all the recommended steps: from flicking icons on and off to a full phone reset.
Still no connection to my Suzuki S-cross car. Multiple previous phones have connected effortlessly.
Even the $50 temporary five year old borrowed phone could handle it.
Anyone got any other suggestions? Yes, tried the AVRCP setting change from 1.4 to 1.6. That didn't work either...
Barebones system reset from scratch running O2 OS 10.0.6HD65AA
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I need to be able to talk and drive!
Reset the car radio and clear all pairing data if you can. Then try again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried that.
Tried one other car - no problems.
Tried a tablet and a very old phone with the car and suprise - the car's bluetooth seems to be the problem.
I will try and find out if I can fix the car!
UPDATE: Morale of the story - read the car manual very very carefully and go though each tedious step = SUCCESS

Yep most have lots of tedious steps that are different model to model and if not followed exactly will cause this problem on occasion..
In my case music starts to be scrambled after 10 minutes or so of listening. When I take the phone (so the watch pops up) or turn on the screen it immediately works fine again, but when being put aside and the screen turns off, the issue starts again ..
Also in the early days of my previous 5t I had the same issues but some fix was delivered together with oxygen os update. And now the same story again
I have a different issue with Bluetooth:
- OP7T connects to car Bluetooth fine
- I can make/answer calls
- Bluetooth media works fine
The problem is with Google Assistant & car audio:
- it was working as intended until the latest update - 10.0.15 - I was pressing the button on the steering wheel the google assistant was answering questions through the car bluetooth, no need to switch to bluetooth media.
- after the latest update, when I press the button on the steering wheel, Google assistant pops on the phone , starts to answer question, but cuts off after 5 seconds. the command still goes through and Assistant still runs, but does not come up on the car audio.
- it looks like the Assistant is not connecting to the car as a hands free, but as to a bluetooth handsets.
Anyone experiencing this?
