    Radio (am/fm) doesn't work unless I turned the Bluetooth off on my phone

    Hello all, I have a weird issue with my AM FM radio. I usually have my Bluetooth on and connected 24/7 and whenever I want to listen to the radio, I just simply push the radio button and the AM FM stations play instantly. Yesterday, when I turn the radio on, nothing worked and I thought that something happened to the radio because it was totally silent. I kept playing around with it for a few minutes and had the idea of turning off my Bluetooth connectivity on my Android phone and then the radio started working. When I turn on the Bluetooth back on however, the radio stops working. So I have to take the step of actually turning off the Bluetooth on my phone before hitting the radio button to listen to regular AM FM music and then when I'm done listening to the radio and want to use the Bluetooth function I have to go back into my phone and turn it on. However this never happened before as I was previously able to seamlessly transition from Bluetooth usage and radio usage without turning on or off the Bluetooth on my phone. Does anyone have any idea why this is the case? I did not change phones and I did not upgrade the software on my phone, so there weren't any changes made to cause this. I suppose it's not a huge deal to turn off the Bluetooth in my phone before turning on the radio but I really liked the convenience of not having to take any action at all.

    You may have had something running in the background that has media. I have found that if I leave one of my games in the background it will keep the bluetooth line active. Try it again and if you have nothing get rid of all your background stuff and see if that fixes it.

    Good advice from Rkt Ship.

    Deleting and re-pairing might also help.
