I use mine everyday to stream music via bluetooth. Are you sure the media option under the bluetooth connection is enabled? What are you connecting to?
Similar issue
I too own a Verizon LG G3 that I purchased recently. I also have a pair of LG Tone Ultras that I am having trouble with. I mainly use them for music and the occasional call. I've found that when I turned off phone audio under Settings > Bluetooth, I'm able to listen to music, which is nice, but the control buttons on the Bluetooth headset don't work, which is a mediocre workaround. Since I've tried a hard reset with no luck, I'll be contacting lg because at the very least, their own peripheral should work with their phone.

Bump same issue here
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Didn't have any issues until a couple days ago, then the phone stopped playing music through bluetooth. Phone is set to allow media through blutooth for my car connection, my cat says the phone is connected as a phone and as an audio device. I dunno what went wrong. Occasionally I am able to get it to work again by resetting, but it stops working again after a while.
I've noticed this same behavior.
I found that if I go into the Bluetooth settings I can uncheck the "media" option for the device, then check it again, and it will work until the next time I connect. Not a graceful solution by any means, but it keeps me listening until something more useful comes up.

Simple Solution for Me, LG G3 Audio Streaming
Well I had this problem. I could make calls and they worked fine, voice and sound.
I could not get streaming media to play but I could see that the songs were registering on my car display.
I tried everything, the settings on the phone, re-pairing. etc. Nothing worked.
I just found out that it was a more simple problem. Somehow the bluetooth volume got turned down and all I did was turn it up while testing the problem on another car stereo. Maybe it'll work for you, just turn up the volume while attempting to stream music to your stereo on your LG G3. There are various volume settings on the phone for different things. I have no idea how the volume could have been turned down, that low. It takes holding it a few seconds of holding for the volume to go back up. I have not adjusted the volume on the phone in some time....so maybe it is bug, dunno. Maybe its just an easy accidental thing, turning down the volume. I never adjust the volume on the phone with the back buttons, too hard to get to. That is how I turned up the volume in this case, back button on the LG G3
This is not the solution I read about where you can call someone, turn up the volume then the media stream works. I guess these could be related but not what I did.
Same problem (not fixed)
I've got the same problem with my lg g3 and mpow Thor headphones, I need quick help please
It must be the phone cause it has the same problems with a JBL charge 3
yeah, same issue here. Bluetooth connects for call audio only. Running Marshmello 6.0.1

Everything works fine here, so it's not a general phone issue.
Does it properly recognise the bluetooth device as headphones/speakers?
Also I see a lot of you talk about car bluetooth. There are a lot of cars that don't actually support streaming media over Bluetooth (just voice calls since they are much lower quality).
There was a thread on the main XDA page a few says ago.
Hi Engmia,
When I initially get into the vehicle the car does recognize the device with headphones/mic symbol however if I go into my bluetooth settings and look at the profiles that are connected, only the "Call audio" profile is available. If I unpair the device and restart my phone, then re-pair the device it will eventually connect and using "call audio" and "media audio" profiles. I believe this is a Marshmellow issue as it's happening in both of my cars.
Thanks,
Aakash

Hello,
If you car actually has A2DP (the Bluetooth media standard for streaming media over bluetooth) which is supported by having the option enabled when reconnecting then it's a bug either in the car protocols or the phone software.
I can't help further unfortunately but recommend you to use the current workaround you've found and submit a proper bug report.
I think the rebooting of phone is an unnecessary step, try just unpairing the device or even better, just resetting the connection to see if it will work and save some time.
You can also try updating to 7.1.1, to see if the issue is resolved there.
Personally I've never experienced issues on neither 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 with my bluetooth headphones. In dact I was always pleasently surprises by how well the pairing worked.
Thanks for the reply engmia. I know both vehicles support A2DP, and I do not have issues with a different device. Are the 7.1.1 roms all AOSP? Would they be okay to use as a daily driver?
Thanks!

Yeah, you are looking for a custom AOSP rom for 7.0 since LG isn't planning to release the update.
It's absolutely lovely for a daily driver, works great and is quite good stability wise. Sometimes a new weekly (LineageOS) will have an unexpected bug, but that's why you just keep the previous version or a backup to keep everything running smoothly.
Going back to stock would be a pain for me at this point, both function and performance wise. I don't think you'll be missing anything from the stock rom, and most importantly, double tap to wake works.
problem seems to be syncing to multiple devices
Ran into this problem this morning.. I have an LG HBS900 headset paired to my LG G3 and my PC.. It looks like the PC's bluetooth set it up as a media device and the phone would only connect it for voice calls, no options for media showed up in the bluetooth settings on the phone..
To fix the problem:
I paired the headset to my PC and and then unpaired it and shut off bluetooth on my PC.
I also unpaired the headset from my phone, cleared the caches and rebooted.
After reboot I paired the headset to the phone and media options were available again..
Hope this helps
Just had this happen to me now ... Couple of restarts, syncing my headphones to a computer and back to my phone fixed it for some reason.
Same issue with the LG V20 Smartphone
SmartPhone: LG V20
Service Provider: AT&T
Android 7.0 (not rooted)
Kernel 3.18.31
Bluetooth Headset model: LG HBS730
Pairing is not a problem. It pairs quickly and connects both phone and media controls, however the media controls do not work. The buttons themselves are connected and working because when I press and hold any of the media buttons, I'll hear a quick double-beep. The buttons that do not work are the "play/pause" toggle, the "play next" and "play previous" buttons. The buttons that do work are the "volume up/down", the "answer/hangup" buttons.
I've tried some of the previously mentioned suggestions, like disable then re-enable controls and pretty much have done that will all the media controls in settings and within the applications.
The LG HBS730 worked perfectly for over a year with my previous phone, the Samsung G5 Active and works perfectly with my 2 Android tablets. The headset works fine.
The LG V20 bluetooth media controls also fail in the identical ways when the phone is connected to my Toyota Highlander's Bluetooth. The phone answers and hangs up properly, but the music will not pause or play until I hit the button on the phone. The controls do not function from the Highlanders audio controls on my console. This is also true with my Honda Link Bluetooth. Same exact symptoms. I have to use the phone to control the audio.
I have logging enabled on my phone if anyone knows how to get the logs off this LG, I would be happy to donate them to the cause of getting this fixed.

Sorry logs don't help me since I'm not a developer. I don't experience any issues on my d855 running LineageOS 7.1.1 and AKG Y45BT headset.
Pairing, controls, music playback all work perfectly fine.
I suggest you try contacting LG if the headset's controls are working on other devices.
So for the last 2 days, when connected via Bluetooth to my 2018 ford f150 with latest Sync 3, my s9 keeps dropping the Bluetooth connection to the truck and reconnecting.
I get a message on the dash saying that it is reconnecting to the phone, and on the phone, I get a warning that "maximum volume could damage ears"
The phone defaults to max volume when connected via Bluetooth.
I saw in a samsung Tech forum thread someone said to disable volume syncing within the phones Bluetooth settings, but mine is already off saying the connected device doesn't support it.
Anyone have any similar issues ?
Phone is an international version with the Exonys chipset and was purchased on Sunday.
I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra that's constantly having issues with Bluetooth with my S9 Exynos as well. Funny thing is, it seems to only disconnect/reconnect whenever nothing is playing through Bluetooth streaming audio. If I have music playing, no disconnects whatsoever. If I pause the music, it'll eventually disconnect. One of my friends with a 2014 Ford Fiesta has the same problem, and his S9 is a Snapdragon variant.
I'm thinking it's a bug with Samsung's ROM.
There are a few Bluetooth options you can change in Developer Options
If you don't know how to enable it:
Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap on "Build Number" a few times until it says "You are now a developer"
Go back to main settings screen > developer options should be available at the bottom
I did some more testing and I have a suspicion that it's something to do with the volume warning. The volume iis maxed out by default and can't be turned down while connected to the sync3 system.

MY phone is constantly connected to my Ford Sync and I've never gotten that warning, but I never have my media volume maxed. If you reduce the volume before syncing, does it still drop the connection? After reading again I see that you said max volume is enabled by default and I guess I never noticed that, but I still haven't seen mine disconnect.
I am having this issue in my 2016 F150 with the latest SYNC 3. Did anyone find a solution?

youll find that when problems are discussed and possible solutions offered by folks like detection here that threads often go cold as the solution offered often worked and the person who got their answer doesnt come back and report it. Not saying that this is what happened here, but its possible. Go into developer options and disable the absolute volume warning. I always disable that anyways because i like my music loud, i know the dangers and i dont need my phone telling me how loud to listen to music lol i mean, who the hell does my phone think it is anyways??? (kidding on that last part, of course)
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

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.

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?
I have the Samsung Galaxy S20+ and the Bluetooth volume is so low when connected to my external speakers (soundbar & Amazon Echo) that it's useless. I've Googled the problem and tried every suggestion (Disable Absolute Volume in Developer Options, calibrating volume on external device to phone, etc.) but nothing has worked. One suggestion was to turn off the equalizer on the phone, but I only have the option to change the default sound effect, not disable it). For comparative purposes, I have successfully set up Castbox so that I can select a specific podcast on my phone and play it on my Echo without Bluetooth as it's directly connected to my Alexa account. Choose the exact same podcast on my phone or through Pandora and play it on my Echo via Bluetooth, and it's at least half the volume, if not less. Turning up the volume on both devices is a non-starter as it increases background noise and is annoying, not to mention that it's not even the same quality. Does anyone have a working solution? Thanks.

Thanks, but it turns out that it's not any particular app. I tried Jet Audio but just like ever other app, Bluetooth audio just plain sucks. Even my desktop and tablet had disgracefully terrible audio on my Echo. I've come to the conclusion that Bluetooth just isn't capable of decent audio transmission.

My P6P (US Unlocked) no longer plays media via bluetooth in my car. It just decided to stop suddently (while playing). Calls are still fine.
Things I tried:
- Bluetooth On/Off (On the car and on the phone)
- Unpairing/Pairing
- Reset Network Preferences on the phone
- Tried another phone with the car (works fine)
- Enabled/Disabled the bluetooth media profile (kept the calls and contacts sharing)
- Paired other bluetooth speakers to the phone and they work fine.
The phone seems to think that audio is playing and so is the car, it's just silent. I'm on the December update.
Any thoughts?
Are you by chance having this problem with SOUNDCLOUD? It's been trouble since my Pixel 2 & 3XL / Android 11. And I can get it started with force stop + clear cache, but it is a pain!

I've had a similar issue since getting the P6P. Usually it's (randomly) when I try to skip/restart a song or when the song ends the phone will still think it's playing, but the display for the car will show it's paused so audio will stop. To get it playing again I have to turn the phone screen on and press pause then play and it'll start playing normally. As you mentioned, only an issue in the car. No issues with any other bluetooth devices.
I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it, but I updated to the December build last night hoping that might fix the issue. Haven't been anywhere yet today to see if it worked, but your post is giving me doubts now lol.
Edit: Just to add, this is playing music locally from storage with the Retro Music app.
Since the December update i have the same problem, it will connect to phone but will disconnect and not reconnect to play media
On the December update. Was in the car today playing all my media. Iike Spotify and local music and works like a charm. Sounds awesome in my Mazda 3 through Bluetooth. Also same call signal as before more or less. Right now at least is good....but haven't left my area as it's the weekend. LOVE MY P6P!
More things I tried:
- In Developer Settings, changed Bluetooth AVRCP to version 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6.
- In Developed Settings, disabled hardware A2DP.
Still no dice, maybe I should go for a factory reset? Man this phone is weird
Yeah my bluetooth headphones and my home theater amp do not skip a beat, but my car keeps cutting out the music, only just started happening, slightly after decmeber update, so I think they pushed other updates (playstore) which caused these issues. Rebooting the phone fixed it, but nothing else including mentioned in the OP repairing the phone to the car, seemed to make it slightly better.
I too have also noticed the similar issue where the music just stops for no reason, and the phone app thinks its still playing, phone reports it's still connected.
For the OP, if you rock the volume keys up down and up again does it change, beause I did have mine at some point force to zero volume.
Update, it scould be related to temperature because in the morning do not seem to have the same problem, only in the afternoon, temp about 30deg C

For the OP, if you rock the volume keys up down and up again does it change, beause I did have mine at some point force to zero volume.

I tried to rock the volume buttons on both the car and the phone and it doesn't seem to change anything. Both the car and the phone actually think that music is playing (as if it was on mute) and the progress time is always in sync.

Nope, It was actually fixed after factory reseting the car's headunit. Weird but at least it's all good now....

More things I tried:
- In Developer Settings, changed Bluetooth AVRCP to version 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6.
- In Developed Settings, disabled hardware A2DP.
Still no dice, maybe I should go for a factory reset? Man this phone is weird

Hi mate, i had same issue, installing android 12L beta 3 fix all my problems, battery is awesome, fingerprint fast, animations smooth like butter....give it a chance and try, maybe fix all your problems.
I know it's a long shot but you should check the settings for automatic do not disturb. I had that happen when the phone realized I was driving and it drove me nuts. Uncheck and mystery solved.
Now if someone can tell me why at completely random times and within a call the device switches back to phone speaker or watch Bluetooth while on an Android auto phone call I'd be appreciative.

My P6P (US Unlocked) no longer plays media via bluetooth in my car. It just decided to stop suddently (while playing). Calls are still fine.
Things I tried:
- Bluetooth On/Off (On the car and on the phone)
- Unpairing/Pairing
- Reset Network Preferences on the phone
- Tried another phone with the car (works fine)
- Enabled/Disabled the bluetooth media profile (kept the calls and contacts sharing)
- Paired other bluetooth speakers to the phone and they work fine.
The phone seems to think that audio is playing and so is the car, it's just silent. I'm on the December update.
Any thoughts?

Try disabling a2dp hardware offload in the developer settings, fixed all my bluetooth issues.
