Google Maps not playing directions via Bluetooth - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone here has had this issue and knows how to fix it.
So I enabled directions via Bluetooth in Google Maps, but yet the car's audio system doesn't play them.
Music plays fine over Bluetooth from my phone, so at least I know the phone or Bluetooth are the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

there is a option to play in car speakers (bluettoth) or the phone itself (even when conected to bluetooth). Is it playing in the phone at least, whil you're in your car and with bluetooth on?

^ once I select the option to play over Bluetooth, then the phone doesn't play them.
So in effect I don't get any directions, which is a bit of a problem.

Are you referring to this setting?

OK, I tried something else just now: playing music from my phone over Bluetooth, the Google maps directions work over the car's audio.
But if I'm listening to the radio or CD, then it doesn't...
It's the same in both cars, so looks like a phone/android bug?

Uh dude, that's normal...
If your Android phone is connected via Bluetooth to your radio, of corse radio itself must be on Bluetooth mode (not radio or cd) it order to listen audio.
What is NOT normal is not being able to listen audio (google maps or any other audio media) even if your radio is in Bluetooth mode.

Looking for a corded stereo HEADSET with microphone

Looking for a corded stereo HEADSET with microphone for telephone calls and listening to music with a USB connector for AT&T Tilt. THANKS for any recommendation…
Get one with a regular 3.5 jack and an adaptor - more choice that way I would have thought.
Please let us know which you end up buying, and why.
Cheers,
Joe
Don;t you get one for free with the device?

Check out seidio online too .. this model here looks interesting ... you can use your own headset, but also answer calls/talk on the phone. I have not tried this, but plan to.
here is another two, apart from the one i posted above

Does the W100 work with any other software than media player?....
Will Conduits pocket player work with it using some existing plugin?
tried it, all I know it will work with the audio manager and the WMP, but not the core player. not tried with the pocket player 3.50 , the last few times i installed it, it messed up the menu of the phone, so I will not use pocket player again.

Does it even have anything to do with the bluetooth set or is it the tab or the apps that are responsible?

It's all about the Profiles

It does have something to do with the headset because some bluetooth headsets can pick up Skype calls while others cannot.
It all depends on what profiles the BT headset supports.
Both the Tab and the headset need to support the same profile (as with any two bluetooth devices working together)
This is explained briefly on the official Bluetooth SIG site
http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Help-with-Your-Devices.aspx
(scroll down to the bottom at the part titled "Make sure both devices you want to pair support the same Bluetooth profile")
Yup, some BT headset doesn't work with GTAB. Strangely, but true.
The safest bet is to bring your GTAB to test with the BT earphone/headset before deciding.

How to permanently disable bluetooth Audio

On older Windows Mobile phones you could delete the codec for Audio and leave the one for phone. Maybe you could do this on older Android too, I can't remember.
Now it's just a Check Box to disable it.
Problem is, every time I start my car it gets re-enabled when it connects the phone. And sometimes will even start the music player on the phone. even when that source is not selected.
Car is 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 8.4AN Nav package.
It's Nav is no where as good as the Nav in the phone.
While this isn't an answer for bluetooth on the whole,
On the 8.4, go to the bluetooth settings, go to the second tab on the left for audio device, and disconnect there (while leaving the phone connected). As long as it has seen that once, I don't believe it attempts to reconnect it again unless you tell it to specifically.

I've done that, It will reconnect next time you start the car.

good luck with this though
I'm not sure if this applies to HTC phones but on samsung ones you can longpress whichever pair device, select options, and uncheck media. This should disable music and should still alow phone calls to come thru

I think that's what the OP meant when they said:
"Now it's just a Check Box to disable it."
If not, that's entirely valid

Correct. I can disable it fine. Until the next time you start the car and it rechecks it.

Samsung's Milk Music app for our Galaxy Tab 7.7?

EDIT!
I download the apk from the link below. No root needed! Works ok. App is a little blurry, guessing it was made for the smaller phone screen.
But hey, FREE MUSIC and no ads. Sweet! Love the "Dial" where we can switch music on the fly. Using it with my car's bluetooth connection.

yeah it works fine, thank you.
I saw a module related to this player in xposed, I think it helps those that can not run it. if you had any problems, maybe that will help you.
With the recent updates to Soundcloud angering me, and Pandora and other similar apps just not as appealing to me, I'm glad to see that there is a version out there for my 7.0 tab 3. I'm going to give this a shot after I finish jailbreaking my 5s (attempting a 7.1.2 update). Now the debate will continue... Samsung Tablet, Digital Camera... should I go for the phone or stick with iFruit... time will tell I guess this October.
Works with no root?
I have an HTC One and I downloaded the app and it installed but when I open the app it says device not supported. Am I missing something or was the "no-root" misadvertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bad Bluetooth audio quality?

Hi. I'm about to get this phone. I borrowed it for few hours from my friend to check some things.
Currently I'm on P20 pro and I have a problem with Bluetooth audio in note 9.
Take a note, it's not something that average "Joe" would be able to hear.
My headphones doesn't support aptx but it doesn't matter because I'm comparing the sound that I got on p20 pro and note 9 (exynos, but it doesn't matter for bluetooth I guess).
I bought my Bluetooth headphones (JBL) mainly because I was tired of choosing my future phones by DAC quality. In theory Bluetooth headphones should sound always exactly the same, because digital to analog converter is located in headphones.
Now the thing is it doesn't. I noticed FAR worse frequency separation on note 9. P20 pro output (and not only p20 pro, my PC, TV as well) is more... How to put it... Punchy? Especially with hi percussion and snares. Additionally high freqs are hissy and upped too much. I tried with Poweramp and direct audio (bypass all Samsung software audio eqs etc) with exactly the same settings on both phones.
It's seems that Samsung screwed up somthing on audio encoder level. Exactly the same was S8+.
And it seems that it's not only me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/bluetooth-audio-bad-quality-t3622984
Is there any way to do something with it? This thing is keeping me from switching.
In developers settings have you set the bluetooth audio codec etc.? If not first try changing those settings and see. See the screenshot , you'll see the address numerous settings which should improve your sound quality.

That stuff usually gets reset when you re-pair your headphones. I've never heard a difference in quality when using them (and I can be picky about audio).
