No 'Media' audio option available when connecting Bluetooth to car's stereo. - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, new here.
I'm desperate, been fighting this issue for some days now, to no avail.
My S8+ connects to my car's stereo (Blaupunkt New York 830) but displayed only 'Calls' and 'Contacts', there's no 'Media' option under bluetooth, so there's no streaming of it either.
Other devices such as the OnePlus 2, Huawai P9 are working without any issues.
I tried the following:
1. Cache partition wipe.
2. Resetting the car's stereo to factory default settings.
3. Upgraded the firmware of the car's stareo.
4. Updated my phones software including Samsung Connect.
I then read about an application called 'Bluetooth auto connect' and downloaded it. On some occasions, it DOES connect Media when using it, but it doesn't work all the time, on most cases it just connect and shows 'Calls'.
Please, is someone familiar with this app or issue and can assist me on this?
Much obliged!

I have never had any problem with media and bluetooth on mine. I would check and see if you have the radio and phone discover able to each other.

[Q] bluetooth pairing issue, how to solve?

Hello, so i bougth this great phone, but bluetooth pairing(+autoconnect) is not working at all.
So to the proplem. My opo IS paired with my alpine car stereo, but everytime i go to my car opo asks IF i want to pair it...and obviously it should just connect automatically since i have paired it earlier but no.
Is this some known issue with opo or my device just making me headtache?
IF anyone have had same proplems i would love to hear how you managed to fix it.
PS. All my old phones automatically connected to car stereo after pairing once, so its most definatly opo issue and not the alpine stereo.
Okey, i got this solved by doing 2 things, but because im stupid and didnt test it between these actions i cqnt say which one did the job or was both needed.
1. I cleared "paired devices memory" from my alpine stereo.
2. I cleared paired device list from my handset(opo)
Hope this will help someone else in future who got proplems with alpine receiver and opo.
Problem solved! bluetooth pairing and buffering issues
Hey problem solved
I had bluetooth pairing and buffering problems and now everything works perfectly. what I did was flash OPO_OxygenOS_1_0-modem-flashable.zip (you can find it somewhere in google docs..don't remember the link)
anyway after doing that everything works perfectly.
I am running cyanogen 12.1 nightly build from 20150601
then I flashed the modem.

Technical solution...too much ?
Hello All,
I too was facing issue with the Bluetooth connectivity. My headphone "Jabra Halo Smart" worked perfectly fine with other android devices but my OnePlus One. Issue i faced was that my at times my headphone would get detected but the headphone controls wont work. It was really irritating as i could not use the functionality of my headphones.
What i did was went into the Bluetooth options. Clicked on the setting icon beside my headphone and unchecked and rechecked the options.
Another action i performed was un-pairing the Bluetooth headphones from my device and resetting my headphones paired setting.
Third option was resetting the Jabra app that i installed on my mobile.
Fourth action is restarting your OnePlus device.
The above actions i performed in different orders. So one of them should surely help.
Suggestion provided by OnePlus Call Center: (which i did not need to try )
--> switch off the device
--> Press power+vol down button simultaneously
--> Select English language
--> wipe cache partition
--> wipe cache
--> reboot device
Advice while using Bluetooth headphones or speakers (especially Bluetooth devices having the functionality to connect multiple devices)...switch off the Bluetooth device and then switch off the Bluetooth of the host device (mobile, laptop, etc) and then connect the Bluetooth device to the other host device
Do not keep two host devices Bluetooth on...at times it causes to store the connection setting in the cache causing the Bluetooth device to act strangely. :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops:

Honor 8 Bluetooth car radio (Sony DSX-A410BT)

Hi guys,
I recently bought a Sony DSX-A410BT and went to pair my phone with it.
The pairing part and the phone answere and all the things are working, the only things that aren't working are the ones related to read cotnacts on the phone.
The first time that i paired, i could go to the phone book and even to the recent calls, and now it doesn't work, simply says "No support". So i went to the radio manual, and it says that to read the contacts i needed a PBAP Bluetooth profile, for wath i could see, my FRD-L09 has A2DP Bluetooth profile.
Is there a way of changin this?
I have tryed to unpair and wipe my phone from the radio, but even that didn't worked.
Thanks,
For anyone that wants to solve an issue similar to this one, i've installed this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android_rsap.irmc
It worked perfectly, there is a free version so you can test it first.

Can't Pair Bluetooth Requiring Passcode

I recently upgraded my AT&T Note 8 to Android 9 (Pie).
All has been good until a few days ago my phone lost its Bluetooth connection to my car.
I attempted to pair the two together again, several times, but failed. The point of failure was when the car asked for verification of the Bluetooth passcode which never showed up on the phone.
The car can see the phone, and the phone can see the car. But the passcode never shows up on the phone.
So I tried pairing with my desktop computer, which also requires a passcode, and it fails there in just the same way as the car...no passcode shows on the phone.
I have no problem pairing devices that don't ask for passcodes, like BT headphones and speakers.
To remedy the issue, I have tried clearing BT cache/data, and I even tried clearing the phones cache partition...no good.
My current firmware version is N950USQS6DSG6. Do you think upgrading to N950USQU6DSH3 will fix the issue? Or is there some simple setting that I am missing? Perhaps a developer setting?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Bluetooth is practically unusable, what gives?

Fully stock OnePlus 8 - global unlocked version. Current Oxygen OS build is stable OTA 10.5.9.IN21AA.
My phone will not connect to my aftermarket JVC car stereo. I had no problems with my previous phones including my OnePlus 6T. Up until today I had been having a lot of frustration when getting into the car, turning it on, and the phone said it was connected to the radio, but the radio showed it was not. I would have to go into the bluetooth settings on the OP8 every time and de pair then re pair them for it to work. Sounds like first world problems, but having to do it every time the car is started when it should just automatically connect to a remembered device was quite frustrating. Today the problem actually got worse. I went to connect my phone, as per the usual I had to de pair and re pair the radio and it showed as paired. So I loaded up Amazon Music and started playing, but the audio didn't come from the speakers, it came from the phone only. I went into the bluetooth settings for the JVC radio and tried untoggling and toggling "media audio". No dice. Tried rebooting the phone, still no dice. Turned the radio off after saying some choice words and drove in silence.
Then tonight I was outside cooking on the grill and tried to connect the phone to my JBL Charge 3 speaker. It did the same thing. It connected but music didn't play from the speaker, it played from the dang phone.
I have never had a phone do anything like this, and frankly am about to return the dang thing as much as I like the phone's performance I have too many devices that are bluetooth that I use daily to have a phone that is unreliable with those devices.
Has anyone else had a similar problem or have any ideas on something I can try?
Wanted to post an update. I emailed OnePlus and they offered a suggestion that seems to have solved the problem.
1. Network reset:
Open the 'Settings' app on your device > Navigate to 'Backup & reset' > 'Network reset' > 'Reset' Note: This will erase all passwords of connected Wi-Fi networks.
After performing the Network Reset my devices pair as expected.
I am a new owner of the OnePlus 8T 5G and I am very dissatisfied. I plan to contact Sprint/T Mobile today to see if there is something I can do to get a refund or exchange. Today's problem is that I cannot connect to my bluetooth speaker. It took me several tries to connect it to my Subaru and now it will not pick up this speaker. Why is this so complicated? I am also very unhappy with the amount of ads that appear on my phone, even on the lock screen. If this is what 5G means, count me out!!!!

Bluetooth Audio

My new 8T won't play bluetooth music in my 2014 Ford with Sync 2. Calls and messages work but bluetooth audio wont work. It says "Problem connecting device" in the 8T bluetooth settings. I've been thru chats and they had me wipe cache and reset wifi/bluetooth settings and still wont play music. Only other option is a factory reset but I dont see how that would fix this on a brand new phone and I have 200GB of data to backup. Worked fine with my 7 Pro but 8T will not play music in the vehicle. Every other bluetooth device works fine.
I saw this posted as well which is similar and post #22 has the same issue: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/one-plus-8t-bluetooth-not-working.1330571/
Anyone know how to fix this?
In your car , if there is an option to delete already paired devices, then delete a device or two. Then try to reconnect your phone. Maybe that helps.
What kind of radio in car u connect has updates you put on USB put in car easy then probably fix issues
