I have a weird Bluetooth problem. It only happens with WM2005 and my Parrot car kit. I love WM2005 because of the correctly implemented handfree profile which makes the car kit and my Jabra headset much more useful. However, for some reason, my bluetooth shuts off from time to time in the device. I notice it when I get in the car and it does not connect. I have to turn the device on, go to the bluetooth manager and turn the radio back on, however, I never turned it off. It happens almost every time I cycle through exiting and reentering the car. It does not turn off in the car while the car kit is active. It does not loose its bonding, it only turns the radio off.
This does not happen with my Jabra headset. I used it on vacation for a week with no such problems. Any ideas what could be happening? At first I thought it was simply a hardware problem with my device, but I swapped it out at work for another brand new device with the same results.
I'm stumped. Any thoughts?

Hey everyone,
Has anyone noticed bluetooth issues? I've pointed them out in other threads, but they seem to be glossed over. I hate to seem like a noob by creating new threads, but I fear that the issue is being looked over by most people. I've read a few reports of people having issues with their phones connecting to their cars or headsets automatically. Has anyone else faced these issues?
I specifically cannot get my BT headset to connect unless I unpair and repair it everytime I want to use it. Sometimes even during a phone call the headset will drop connection and wont reconnect unless i turn it off and on a few times. For reference, I've tried multiple BT headsets and they all behave the same way. These headset's also work just fine with my Galaxy S2, just not with my S3 (international on XLE8)
No problems with bluetooth here and I use it a lot (HS3000, Logitech Boombox, PS3 and Wii controllers too).
No issues here. Phone sometimes doesn't pair automatically with the BT kit in my work car, but I've had that issue with my S1 and S2 in the same car so I'd say it's a problem with the headunit.
Works perfectly with the Sony headunit in my own car, and connects to my mate's fine.
ok, what firmware rev are you guys running? im going nuts not being able to use bluetooth here!!
somewhat related.
i often leave my sgs3 connected to my laptop via usb when i fall asleep. at morning, battery's charged 100% obviously and phone isn't hot.
last time around, i was listening to music via hm3700 bluetooth headset. then later turned off the bluetooth headset. i forgot to turn off the bluetooth on sgs3 and again fell asleep while it's still connected via usb to laptop.
when i woke up at morning as usual battery's charged 100% but the sgs3 was hot, not so hot but isn't anywhere the normal hot we're accustomed to.
connects automatically to my car's BT built-in system. Only needed to pair once.
Works very well with my Sennheiser PXC 310 BT.
If I switch on the headphones the phone automatically connects to it.
can everyone please detail their firmware/kernel they are using?
i am on XXALE8, with the stock kernel
I have problems on XXLE8 as well connect it to my car head unit and it acrually crashes the headunit after 5 mins being connected . After the heaf unit crashes 3 times it requires a pin code. Iphone 4, 4s and gs2 connect no issues.

thanks for your input, i upgraded to XALF5 and still having the same issues. this is frustrating!!!!
Oddly - my phone will automatically connect to my cars in-built BT system, but it won't auto connect to my Jawbone Era without switching BT of and back on....
I also have problems, with my build-in bt in my car. Have XXBLH3. Connect fine, but drop the connection 2-3min after. My SGSII have no problems
No Ringtone through Bluetooth
Okay here is my problem……I want my custom ringtones i have set for contact to play in my Bluetooth headset when a receive a call, not that dumb ring. That way I will know if I want to take the call or not because I can tell by the ringtone who is calling. Why would Samsung disable this feature. my iPhone 4s plays the ringtone I have setup when I get a call. Is there anyway to do this. I ride a motorcycle and I have a device called a Chatterbox that let’s me connect via Bluetooth to my phone so I can hear my music and talk and make calls while I am riding. On my iPhone 4s my music would pause my custom ringtone would play and I could decide it I wanted to take the call or send it to voicemail, then my music would start right back up from where it left off. Right now my Galaxy i717 and my Galaxy i747 (Note and S III) just play this annoying ring and I can’t tell who it is! Any have a fix or work around for this.
Hmmm, the sound on my cars bluetooth gets distorted and only a reconnect will fix, and more worringly sometimes the S3 will not wake up after disconnecting from my car and only a hard reset will solve it.
My S2 did pretty much the same thing.
Hi,
For about a year I have used my GS2 with a Plantronics Savi Go bluetooth headset - I normally leave the phone in its desk cradle and use MyPhoneExplorer to make/answer all my calls and send text messages (I work in a small office with no wired phone at my desk and I sent at least 500 texts/day to coordinate teams working in the field.)
Recently - after returning from a trip - I noticed that the phone and headset would not work together at all if the wifi on the phone was enabled - the headset would connect to the phone and the first 10 seconds or so of every call would be OK, but the level of interference (as heard on the headset) would increase and increase and the headset would inevitably disconnect after about 20 seconds.
With wifi disabled on the phone this does not occur.
The headset works fine with another phone and also connects fine to its Plantronics USB adapter. This headset is designed to remain connected to two devices at once (intended to be the USB adapter and a phone) so you can make calls from either Skype/a voip app or your phone without having to change anything.
I have dropped the phone about a hundred times so I changed the aerial/loudspeaker module (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300715915473) but the interference still occurs.
Is there any way this could be a software issue? I hate updating as I have custom density and all sorts of other settings so my phone is still on the same android 2.3.3 stock ROM that it came with - I have also removed all the Samsung customisations and KIES etc so updating is a pain.
My opinion is that there is no way this could be a software issue and that, as the antenna replacement has not solved the problem, there's probably a hardware problem and I should just toss it and get a Note or another GS2.
However, thinking about it more - the bluetooth and wifi transmitters share the same antenna? Is there any software cooperation to make sure these devices don't try and transmit at the same time or is there hardware gating? Are there filters designed to stop the bluetooth transmitter transmitting directly 'into' the wifi receiver (as they both share the same aerial which is used both for transmit/receive) and are they software or hardware?
My thoughts are definitely hardware but I would welcome the opinions of anyone that really knows how the two transmitters/receivers are meant to work together.
Thanks!
Right, can someone help me out with Tasker. Please *I need to setup some profiles. *Basically, I've got 2 phones and my car will only connect to 1 at a time. Think of this as a logical puzzle
If both phones have bluetooth on when the car starts, which ever phone connects first will connect. If bluetooth is off on one then the other will connect.
My problem. I only want phone W to connect to the cars bluetooth between 8:30 – 18:00, Monday - Friday. Phone P should be connected to the car outside of these time frames, AND if phone W is not present in the time frames above.
So, any ideas how I can do this with minimal battery drain? I could use NFC however I'd like to avoid if possible
Nobody?

I don't have this issue, but here are my 2 cents, hopefully they are worth at least that.
For Phone W, create a profile that turns bluetooth on during the specified hours and days of the week.
Pair Phone P with Phone W. Then create a profile on P that will try to connect the two phones. If they connect, then Phone P turns bluetooth off. This should keep your work phone connected to your car when you need it. Have another profile to turn Phone P's bluetooth on everyday at 1800. That should prevent you from having to turn it on except when you don't need Phone W during specific hours. Unfortunately, it basically means Phone P will always have bluetooth off from 830-1800 and you'll have to turn off Phone W's bluetooth before Phone P's.comes on.
Or, buy a bluetooh speaker that can handle two phones simultaneously.
I am trying to find a solution for S9+ to stop blacklisting my bluetooth receiver when I start my car. The receiver is connected to the car's power socket and when I start the car, it takes a while for the phone to (re)connect to the receiver. This is a quote from Tunai Firefly's FAQ and I think it's exactly what is happening in my case:
Different car have different power circuit design. In some cars, power will shutdown for couple seconds when starting the engine, and resumes when engine started. In this case, when power is supplied initially, Firefly will reconnect to your device and you will see the Firefly LED light stop flashing. And then the power system goes down for couple seconds, and Firefly become disconnected again. Firefly will try to reconnect with smartphone device once the power is suppled again. However, your smartphone devices treat this as bad reception, and will not release the Bluetooth connection until after 30 to 45 seconds. Any connection attempt from Firefly will be rejected by the smartphone during this period. Firefly will stop reconnection attempt after being rejected by the smartphone, and enter pairing mode. If this situation happen to occur to you, just wait for 30 to 45 seconds, unplug and plug-in Firefly USB side again, and it will reconnect to smartphone automatically. You can also request the pairing with Firefly via smartphone after 30 to 45 seconds as well.
The car is a 09 BMW 120d Coupe, the phone is the Galaxy S9+ (latest version, unmodified) and the receiver is a Nobsound BT 4.2 receiver (also tried others).
What's the best way to fix this? If any... Even if it implies rooting the phone to stop it "blacklisting" the receiver.
