Here's the same fix, for bionic. Unfortunately even with this fix it's too hard for me to tell if it's any improvement. My system seems to reliably default to the last used audio profile for the device. Even if I have removed and re-paired the device. So it seems like the fix at most is only necessary for brand new devices you've never had on your system before.

But the audio quality was poor, because the default audio profile was the low-quality HSP/HFP one. When I switched it to the A2DP profile, it sounded perfect again. Can we make A2DP the default playback profile for Bluetooth audio devices?
