Has anyone else been unable to make phone calls after connecting to your vehicle's bluetooth? Most of the time, I can make phone calls without issue. Sometimes, I can't even hear the call ring when I'm connected to bluetooth. Occasionally, when I turn my vehicle off, the call goes silent instead of transferring to the earpiece on the phone. The only way I can fix the issue is rebooting the phone. This has become increasingly frustrating for me, since the issue is so inconsistent.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted and un-encrypted.
Thanks!
Same here
I'm having the exact same problem you are having with my Ford Touch Sync, Bluetooth has work maybe once. At other times only the music over bluetooth has work. But was unable to make hands free calling! I also made my ford touch sync a trusted device, and the problem with connection still continues! Hope someone could provide some suggestions
Stock rooted- TWRP- encryption removed
I am having issues also. Just today, my phone shows I am connected to my Pioneer Navi head unit, and the Pioneer shows connected to my phone. I proceed to make a call. The audio on my radio mutes as it should, and nothing. No ringing, no busy signal nothing. so i hang up and try three more times. on that third retry, i heard the other party faintly, realizing that even though my radio muted and shows BT connected, the call went through the ear speaker on the phone. When I hung up the phone, my radio unmuted.
Last week, I was having issues where i couldnt hear any rings or busy signals. It would be silent for 20 seconds or so, then i hear the other party say "hello".
I honestly thought it was my head unit, since it is about 4 years old. But now I see others with similar issues on other brand bluetooth systems in their cars.

I just got my N6 today and I'm having trouble with My Ford Touch as well. I can get it to pair and play music, but it won't "connect" to my phone. It's odd because my N5 works fine with it. I would assume the N6 wouldn't be different.
We probably have to wait for an update from Ford, which will probably take months...
EDIT: Well I decided to try it again. I deleted the Nexus 6 entry as well as the Nexus 5 entry. Went through the pairing process again and it worked as intended. Not sure what happened the first time.
I ran into the same problem as others where my N5 worked flawlessly with my Ford Sync in my fusion, but the N6 is terrible.
I love the phone, but this is really annoying. I get into the car and sometimes it connects immediately, other times I have to turn off and back on the bluetooth about 3 times for it to finally connect. Very weird. Ford offers an upgrade to my Sync system, but wants $50 to do the upgrade. Pass.
I might try what the other person did and delete all entries for phones and pair it again. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty bad outside, so it might need to wait a short bit.
Has anyone else had luck re-pairing with their car and had reliable connections?
I use Ford Sync.

I use Ford Sync, and everything works as expected. I am Stock and unrooted. I guess it would come down to what version of Sync. Mine is from 2012. No touch screen. I also delete all other entries on the system and start from scratch making sure that the N6 is the main device.
If I can wake up the screen on my own, outgoing calls work fine

I have a Nexus 6 running Benzo ROM (5.1.1) and I have a GPS Nuvi 3580 bluetooth-enabled which I want to use to make calls while driving. I have added this device to my trusted devices so my phone unlocks as soon as it connected to it.
If my phone screen is on, then I'm able to call anyone from the bluetooth device, no issues. But as soon as my screen goes off, I can't make calls and when I switch on the screen on my own, I see a message "Process system isn't responding. Wait or close?"
Irrespective of what I select on this message, the call goes through. But it totally defeats the purpose of handsfree bluetooth mode. Is there something that is not allowing the bluetooth device to wake my phone up.
Also when I receive an incoming call, I see the notification on my GPS but I can't receive the call in one go. It takes multiple calls for it go through. I have also noticed that my bluetooth device keeps disconnecting and connecting without any change on either the phone or the GPS side.

Since I last made that post you quoted, i purchased and installed a 2015 model of the Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX. It has Android Auto, but can be used with the regular Pioneer UI also. I have had no issues anymore with this new radio. Maybe the BT protocol in the radio is newer? Im not that tech savvy to know. But the 2015 radio had no issues with BT calls anymore, on Pioneer's UI or Android Auto's UI.
Hello,
Today I installed the SONY XAV-AX100. Super. Everything works quite smoothly. I just have a problem with calling through android car. If someone calls me or call me and I connected via android car, so the call does not appear on the radio display only phone which is useless.
When I tested the Nexus 4 with Android CyanogenMod v6, it works well.
Some idea?

Firstly double check your bluetooth settings for that device and make sure all the sliders related to phone calls and Bluetooth audio are enabled, if that doesn't work - try a variation of making your head unit connect to the device and vice versa.
I have a 2014 passat and the Bluetooth works perfectly when connected, first connection on car start is a bit pissy because my smartwatch initially demands all Bluetooth, manually connecting to the VW Phone in Bluetooth just reconnects both devices and it works fine for calling, music and voice control.
If these tips don't work, It might sadly be a lack of support within the head unit itself (some are very picky)
@stevob21
You don't have AA and don't understand the problem, so why did you respond? It's not BT related issue.
@matata86
I have the same problem. AA has all needed permissions, but calls still not show on the unit. Interesting is that with my previous phone, P9 - it was working as long phone has Android 6.0. After update to 7.0 - it has stopped working. So it has to be related with Huawei's 7.0 phone manager. Someone with root access should try to freeze phone manager and check it...

Yeah apologies, I must have got this mixed with another thread I was looking at when writing this related to BT issues when connecting where phone calls/address books aren't operable though they work fine after manually initiating the connection.
Same problem here. I can make calls with "ok google, call John Smith" but the notification doesn't show in order for me to end the call. I can end the call from the phone but usually rely on the other party to end the call from their phone.
Text messaging has similar behavior. I can send text messages from AA using voice commands but cannot receive them on screen nor are they read back to me. Again, they do show up on the phone.
All notifications are allowed for the phone and messaging apps. I've also set the battery manager to NOT turn off those apps to save power during screen off. I've tried other phone apps, though I didn't think this should matter but why not try
The deck is a JVC KW-V930BW and the phone is a P10 plus. All other Android Auto features seem to function correctly. I read in a forum for some other phone brand that exhibits the same behavior that it is due to some security feature in that phone and cannot be changed. I wonder if that is the case with the P10 plus?
Anyone else run into this or have a fix? Thanks all!
PS: not interested in rooting.
follow-up
From a thread in another forum, this appears to be an android auto/huawei compatibility issue that they're working on. A recent update seems to have fixed an sms issue so now text messages are read back to me. Regarding the phone notifications, I've mounted the phone using a magnetic vent mount close the steering wheel so I can end calls easily from the phone itself. I'm going to call that "good enough"
It seems to working now with B171, at least in my A6 from 2015 with the latest MMI-Update.

All of a sudden mine is working too, though still on B170. The only thing that changed that I can recall is I updated Google Messages and was prompted whether I wanted to make it my default messaging app to which I agreed.
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?
Hi,
I hope to get here some suggestions....
I change from a SONY XPERIA XZ Premium to Huawei P30 Pro. With my SONY device I have never a problem with my Fossil Smartwatch and BT-Headset.
Now, with the Huawei my smartwatch is not able to connect the phone. Only once I got a connection, after I make a factory reset of the smartwatch. After going in flight-mode an reenable the connection, the phone see my smartwatch, but does not connect to it.
Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong?
Is there a serious support-page from Huawei to get a real support?
Thank you
In all honesty I've had three Huawei/Honor phones and they all have had issues with connecting to my Fitbit. It's very intermittent sometimes takes a while to connect. Some days it doesn't at all.

I'm checking and testing some powersave-options - it is very unclear. I think there must be the reason for it. Must make exeptions for wearOS and maybe the problem could be solved.
Never had this "problems".
Never really had any problem with my Mate 9 Pro and so far my P30 Pro works well too. Only tried my car and Bose Quiet Comforts so far thought.

You have connected only one device. Smartwatch AND headset/caraudio at the same time is/was the problem.
As I said, I've make some changes in the power-setting regarding the WearOS-app.
Using 3 Garmin Smartwaches/Tracker, a car hands free, bluetooth speakers and headphones without any problem so far.
Also did not had any problems using multiple at the same time of these together
i had problem connecting my P30 Pro to my car, it can identify the device but prompt for password that P30Pro never response!!
Huge problem
connects to a Bluetooth headset but there is so much stutter that's only one problem! The major problem is that it will not make Facebook or Whatsapp calls via Bluetooth and even if I click the Bluetooth icon it switches back to local speaker. I tried everything
Unpair and reconnect
Reset network settings
Clear Bluetooth cache memory and data
Everything!!! Still no solution, I even factory reset the phone and still same problem, I tried 5 different Bluetooth headset also. Please help with any suggestions

did you looked in the pairing options, whether the device is using phone AND media protocoll? Doesn´t seem like that
Yes I have, YouTube works via the Bluetooth, phone calls work, pretty much everything else does except calls via apps like Whatsapp and Facebook messenger, Skype etc
Did you try changing to 5g wlan instead of the 2,4g I never had that problem in 13 years apple. There also it worked perfect at 2,4ghz.
Dont ask me why that does not work for huawei p30pro. Btw. Samsung s9 also does not do a good job at 2,4.so maybe a android10 thing. Bluetooth also works at 2,4ghz...but how can that work for apple??
Had this Bluetooth issue since day 1.
Using Bluetooth to anything works fine for 20ish mins then stops.
Disabled all battery restrictions like we have to do with the apps to keep them open (in both places) I did a general one, still the same issue.
It's stupidly frustrating and so damn annoying.
I've been gutted about this phone since I got it, sadly stuck in a contract for another 12 months
I have updated my phone to android 10 and everything went great, it worked fine and I was pretty happy.
I drive Hyundai Tucson 2017 and using phone (via bluetooth) in the car was great, but since my upgrade there is no sound from the phone (any sound, playing music or phone call) and I can't answer or make the call from the car, phone is pretty useless in the car now (or car is pretty useless with the phone now).
I deleted bluetooth device, and connected fresh and it didn't help. Is there any option I should check? I spent an hour looking through settings and couldn't find anything related. What are other options? Going back to android 9? Hopefully not. Just don't tell me to go to car dealer and ask them to update firmware, I would rather kill myself
I don't have 10 yet so take that for what it's worth.
Do you have a bluetooth speaker or headset you can pair with and see if it works then?
When I do get 10 I'll try with wife's 2017 Sorento, I believe KIA and Hyundai use very similar head unit software and hardware (assuming your trim is the same).

Hrm. My next suggestion would be a factory reset - a bit drastic but often helps when there's been a major update. If you do this just make sure you back things up first.
Otherwise I have not heard any other issues on the Lenovo/Motorola forums nor Reddit with this issue.
