My car's headunit has A2DP, and once paired, my OG would always reconnect when in range. The bionic doesn't seem to do this - so I have to open the wireless/network->bluetooth settings screen and manually force it to connect.
Not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to not have to do that everytime you get in the car.
Anyone else have any feedback on the Bionic's BT functionality?
This is not a problem I have experienced as mine reconnects no problem. What type of headset are you using. If problem persists I suggest turning headset off and back on, then it should reconnect. That beats navigating around the phone menu.

I am having this same issue with my 2010 Ford Ford Fusion Hybrid with MS Sync and the Bionic. The phone connects fine but the A2DP does not. I wonder if there is a thread on the Moto support forums about this?

I'm not using a headset, I'm using a JVC xr810 headunit (in-dash stereo ). Both the phone and A2DP connect quickly when I force it to under BT settings; but neither reconnects automatically, regardless of which device I turn power-on first.

Interesting - so the phone auto-connects?
I am having a similar issue with my Sony Head unit. It will always automatically connect via the handsfree profile but the A2PD does not. I have to turn the Bluetooth on the headunit off and then back on and it then connects with both profiles. Its annoying to say the least.

Yes it auto-connects to the phone, but for A2DP MS Sync says "Connection failed". I used to see this on my Droid X but it would always connect a second later anyway.
I am seeing the same issue with my bionic and pioneer audio head unit. When i force the connection manually it works. But the phone does not connect automatically. I have a friend with a bionic who is pairing with his mini without issues. We will test my phone on his car and his phone on my HU. This will at least tells us if the issue is with the phone itself or the other unit.
Same problem here. I have an Alpine IDA-001 deck. My OG Droid handled it fine.

My 2011 Frontier has basic connection, and it always reconnects. But, when I paired my BIONIC, I deleted my DROID profile so there is only the one profile for it to connect to.
Could that be the key?

Thanks for the link! I'll see what I can do, but I don't have ford-media-sync.
I've already tried deleting all pairings, and restablishing, but... maybe I'll connect to my handsfree earpiece first, and then connect to the car's HU?
(I'm not sure if you closed that thread or what, but you might want to leave it open since others without the ford system can continue debugging/discussing?)
looking to get bt working in my nissan, the bionic connects but no sound, my eris connected no problem. deleted all profiles in car system with the bionic #1 priority.

Maybe you should start a new thread at Moto support with your particular issue, so as not to confuse things.
My car has two ways to connect - via the media setup (A2DP) and via the phone setup (headset profile). I connected through the A2DP setup, but again I'm not sure that was what fixed the problem, or whether it was the deleting of some other phones from my Bluetooth list.
I've marked it Not Answered again over at Moto support.
hmmm... My TomTom Go! 730 reconnects just fine every time. Curious!
Mine also reconnects fine, but I don't have A2DP on the headunit so I can't help with that part.

Nissan's BT implementation is horrible. Moto had the best sound quality on my Altima, but that's not saying much.
I also had slow to nonexistent reconnects in my car as well, with having to force the connection manually to get it to connect.
OK, so today I got some help from my friend with another bionic and we tried my phone that is having issues with reconnecting on his mini that he has no issues with. So, the results are:
My phone was able to pair successfully with his Mini and it reconnected automatically when we turned the car off and on.
I did not try his phone in my car as I see no point. It is clear to me that the issue is with the combination of my Pioneer HU and the Bionic. I am going to conduct another test tomorrow. I will factory reset the BT unit thus wiping anything that could potentially be left over from my old D1 which could be interfering with the new pairing.
I do sincerely hope that clearing out the profiles will work, but I'm less than optimistic about the fact that it is a head unit as opposed to a general BT unit that was included by Nissan in my truck, which I'm almost positive is not controlled by the head unit itself.
At any rate, I had some issue with freezing the wrong app and factory reset my phone, and today it was not connecting (obviously, b/c for some odd reason it did not fetch my saved APNs, WP, BT profiles, etc. from my Google account, while when I first bought the phone it readily pulled everything so that all the info from my DROID transferred flawlessly.
Long story short, I had to re-pair with my truck, but it recognized (presumably by MAC address) my phone and the truck's female copilot announced that the phone was already stored in a profile and that I could just go ahead and connect to it. So I did.
Tomorrow, I'll let you know if it connects automatically or not.

Yeah, I'm a member over there as well, same username and everything. I was on the private panel that was studying the Call Quality issues that the original DROID was having with some people.
Glad that it worked out for you, and hopefully it works out for others. See my post just above for my little test to see if it works after a factory reset - I'm suspecting that in fact I'll need to delete that profile and start fresh....
I have a minor issue with my xperia Z and car bluetooth. If the bluetooth is on before i start the car, it pairs perfectly within seconds. But if my xperia z's bluetooth is off when i switch on the car and then enable the bluetooth it doesnt pair automatically. Either i have to pait it again manually or restart the car.
Has anyone seen this before? I'm on 4.3 - not sure whether this was the case with 4.1 or 4.2
Same car used to pair my old samsung s3 as soon as i turn the bluetooth on in my s3.
I have a similar problem with mine, i have the rooted c&j rom on mine and a sony mex bt5000 car stereo, it pairs instantly for phone audio, but half the time doesn't pair for media audio, stereo says pair with 'unknown' if i say yes, nothing happens, if i say no, it requests 1 or 2 more times, and still nothing, the only way i can get it to do it is to pull down the notification bar and select throw from quick settings and select xplod from there, then it connects, then disconnects, then reconnects again! I also have smart connect set up to adjust the volumes and screen brightness when it connects, which again, half the time it doesnt work! I dont know wether its a problem with the C&J rom, the root or with smart connect, I was previously on rooted 4.2 fw and everthing worked perfectly. On a similar subject, I'm also having trouble throwing music to a sony sa-ns410 network speaker, it just hangs and fooks up! annoyingly, my old xperia s throws music to the speaker perfectly. I'm going to try flashing a stock uk unrooted fw to the phone to see if this helps, which is going to annoy me if it does, because i like having root and my lcd density set at 320 which makes the phone look a million times better!
I had the same issue on mine with 4.3 I tried about 3 ROMs with the same Bluetooth issue, went back to 4.2 and not a problem, I've messaged Sony and been ignored .

I'm not rooted and using the stock rom from my carrier. So it looks like the problem is with the sony 4.3 rom itself if you guys haven't experienced this with 4.2 or 4.1
Hi,guys.Ive got a weird problem lately.My headphones mic doesnt work with skype call.I can hear my friend but my friend cant hear me.when i unplugged the headphones phone starts to use its own mic and my friend finally hear me.Headphones without mic are also working.
I tried to call him and microphone just works on normal calls.I tested headphone and microphone with my brothers iphone 4s too.They are fine.Have you guys any ideas?
I know man. Doesn't work for me either. I made a thread on talk.sonymobile.com named Skype Issue on 5.1.1. Check it out. Skype just does not work on 5.1.1
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------
It works on all the previous android versions though. So the only solution would be to roll back to kitkat or 5.0.2. Another fix might be to connect the earphones two seconds after the call starts (doesn't work for me though)

WELL DONE SONY.GOOD DEVELOPING.

However it didn't fix anything.
Thanks M$, some of us use this for business you know.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with this... Factory Unlocked version on OTA Oreo that got pushed out over the weekend. I was able to change the Bluetooth AVRCP to 1.6 but any other developer Bluetooth settings I change will go back to default if I go back into developer settings.
same here.

For me it auto selects the compatible codec depending on source. I guess it switches back between two connections.
Check to see if changes the used codec when connected to your headphones.
Cheers~
Are these settings what's keeping my connected devices from launching My Music app like Pandora when I get in my truck my stereo supposed to launch Pandora and I'm also supposed to be able to control it from the head unit which I'm not able to do since the update

Having the same issue. My car's Sony headunit has been having connectivity issues since the Oreo update. (3 months or ago or something like that). I finally figured out the cause is the codec, the phone changes to AAC when the stereo is used to seeing SBC. I can switch it to SBC but as soon as the stereo tries to connect it goes to AAC. After connected I switch it to SBC and for the first time in 3 months I can listen to music in the car again without it disconnecting every 5 mins. The problem is it is a bit ridiculous to have to switch a setting back every single time I get into my car.
Then I just discovered that no matter what change I make to the bluetooth developer options they immediately revert back to what they were upon leaving the menu. No one has found a fix for this issue yet?
Received PIE OTA today. Everything seemed great until I got in the car to drove home from work. Phone connects to Bluetooth fine and stayed connected until I tried making a call. When I dialed a contact it started ringing properly over the car speakers then dropped and the status stopped showing on the car display. Phone still said it was connected to BT and phone audio routing through the Handsfreelink. I couldn't hear anything. Switching the call audio to Phone I was able to hear the person through the phone handset.
I've tried repairing to the car and restarting phone. I did not try calling through Android Auto I interface on the car, but will try that tomorrow.
Looking for similar issues I saw some hit for the Pixel devices, but it was on older beta builds of PIE.
Anyone else have this issue?
I don't have your exact issue, but my Bluetooth keeps disconnecting on my car. It worked fine on 8.1.
I also have the problem through the Android Auto app. I cleared cache from recovery and still have a problem. This makes Android 9 unusable for me...

Are you using a Galaxy watch? I used to have the same problem until I reset my watch then everything worked fine.
I would recommend you find out what's disconnecting the bluetooth through bluetooth > Advanced > Bluetooth control history and see if there are any apps turning off the bluetooth. Galaxy Wearable was constantly disconnecting my bluetooth when it was disconnected to my car's bluetooh and that's why I reset it.
I hope that helps.

I recommend you delete your phone 's profile from your car and reestablish it all over again after your reset your phone's bluetooth as well through settings > general management > reset > reset network settings. Bear in mind that this will erase all your bluetooth connections as well as wifi data.
Good luck.

I have already tried deleting my profile in car and clearing Bluetooth and network connections. I dont have a smart watch. The only thing left is a factory reset. But I've been reading the same problem has been reported on Pixel devices on Android Pie. I didnt see a fix though.
I have issues while playing music on Spotify and black player ex via Bluetooth on my pioneer deck in my car. The music will stop playing for like a second or two then resume. Reverting to 8.1 fixed it. I've tried a clean wipe as well.

Reverting will only fix it until the OTA installs it again though.
Wow. Thats definitely a deal breaker for me..Kind of glad Sprint hasnt received it yet! hope they fix it as I know how annoying that is.

I have the same issue, Phone will connect fine initially but after like 5 minutes of playing music or calling Car will lose connection all together to BT in Phone (phone says it still connected for a couple of secs then drops as well) If I leave alone BT will connect again after a minute or so then disconnect again in a couple of minutes
I'm using Android Auto on my phone (My car does not have AAuto so use the phone as a display) so everytime BT connects disconnects AA launches
Tried resetting BT cache and data and repairing but everytime same thing.

Are you using Android Auto on the phone by any chance?
What brand Car do you have?
I tested today after some BT resets and in the morning everything stayed connected so I thought it was fixed but in the drive home it disconnected 3 times while in a call !
I can confirm that this is happening specifically for me as well. Long time lurker/reader.
I'm confident I've isolated the issue to the Pie update. My Google search bringing me back 180° to here supports that.
I have that sinking feeling that this is gonna be an ongoing bugaboo. Let's hope I'm wrong!
I'm not an Android Auto user. The accompanied "drop signal" notification from my Galaxy Watch losing BT signal to phone to every few minutes is slowly eroding my sanity. Most recently on official AT&T CSAA clean wipe.
Cheers!
What's the current version of Pie on our Note 9 at the moment? From the looks of all these posts describing issues, I may have to permanently remain on Oreo for the entire life of this phone.
Hi, Annon here. Here's a real quirk... After receiving the update on my phone, I was happily driving home with music streaming through spotify via bluetooth and my husband decides to call me. The phone rings, I try to answer from the steering wheel and instead of answering the phone, it looks like it's connected the the car is still ringing the phone at me while not connecting to any voice. On my husband's end, he gets this really loud and annoying screeching sound so obviously he hangs up. But it doesn't stop there. Even though the call is disconnected (not that it ever stopped ringing on my end or connected), the phone continues to ring through my car UNTIL I GET HOME AND TURN OFF MY VEHICLE. Even after I turn off blue tooth and the radio console. It was the cherry on top of my crap day.
PIE in the face
I have exactly the same problem with a note9 connecting to a Discovery Sport. The phone connects for a short while then drops completely, then reconnects automatically and cycles like this for 3 or so times then seems to stabilise.
If I am on a call its a total nightmare, thinking of trying to revert to Oreo.
Anybody have a fix yet besides revert to oreo firmware?
Note 9 At&T on latest pie. Can confirm Bluetooth disappears from memory. Happens to car, headset, watch and have to re-pair over and over. Pretty frustrating. Was working perfectly prior to pie.

I chatted with Samsung+ after I told them I already FDR'd my phone and everything else they asked about they recommended I get in contact with the warranty Dept so I can get another phone that will have the same issue once it updates to Pie
same issue here . Before describing issue please e-mail me if anyone has a fix ([email protected]) .
I have Galaxy Watch and a Honda Accord 2017. Everything went fine until upgrading to Pie. Now when phone is connected to the car system it rings but cant answer the call. Not on my steering wheel nor on my touch display. Furthermore if I try calling back It rings until person answers call and then it totally drops the call from my car system. Very annoying . If anyone comes with an answer to that please e-mail me the solution
Flashed back to 8.1 and no issues, I removed system permissions for the software update app and so far it hasn't automatically updated, I just get the persistent notification.
Same here - I just migrated from my oneplus 3t to the Note 9. And as a constant User of Android Auto, this is really a big big issue for me. Any hints besides Re-Odin?
