Hello, all fans of the android alike!
I have a problem that's been bugging me for a long time, and each shot I give at solving the issue, I just end up wasting hours on end with no avail.
Here's the thing - my BlueBerry BoomCat 3 bluetooth speakerphone refuses to play media on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. It works just fine with calls, the commands work (play/pause, next/previous song) - but the volume increase/decrease commands, and actually playing media, such as YouTube, Gallery videos, Instagram and Facebook clips, media on Spotify - nada.
Here's what I tried and ruled out:
1. Unpairing and re-pairing didn't solve the problem.
2. All the perms are on; it's not a problem of 'Use for media audio' being turned off. I tried resetting these perms over and over again to no use.
3. Also, since it's a dual SIM phone, I reset network settings on both sim cards. Nope.
4. I read on some forum that a guy had a similar issue solved by turning on battery saver. Tried that, both battery and ultra battery saver modes - didn't work.
5. I know it's not a compatability issue, the version of BT of both devices is in check.
6. I know it's not a speaker issue, because it works on my dad's, and my girlfriend's phone with no problems.
7. I know it's not a Xiaomi issue, since my dad has the Note 8 and the speaker works just fine on his phone.
8. I know it's not my phone's problem, since I also have the Sony XB-01 speaker and that works all fine and dandy. My friend's JBL speaker also connects to my phone and works properly.
9. Tried safe mode, didn't help.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much in advance, best regards!!
P.S A factory reset isn't an option at all, sadly.
