I was wondering if anyone could help with this problem. My SGS II connects with my in built (Ford) car system, its does everything it should apart from that it can not display the call list (in or out). This was also the problem on my SGS on stock roms until I installed CM7 and then the call lists showed up perfectly. Is it the case that Samsung roms are putting the call logs in a different place that cannot be seen by the car system, if so would it be easy to change this or do I have to wait until a CM rom is made for the SGS II.
SGS II as well as SGS has a very gig problems with BT in car on stock ROM. I had SGS before and there was a problems BT constantly drops in AUDI car system. Temporarily it was solved by BT Fix from the market but finaly solved only coming to a custom ROM (all of them solving that). Now Having SGS II It is total disaster in AUDI - first it constantly drops BT connection and even more - if I'm talking by phone during being connecting to BT, connection failed BUT after call finished phone crushed down and it takes 10 second pushing power button to get it back :-( And then in phone all pairings went out! So - do anybody know this case? And waiting for the custom ROM.
I have a Mercedes E-class (new type). No problems at all with the BT. Very quick to connect, and I can control track fw/bw from the steering wheel. No drops. Works with the default music player as well as Spotify. Phonebook transfere is quick.
In terms of functions I also have no any problems but drops and crashes :-(
Ford focus audio bluetooth
Hello,
I have the same issue with the Ford Focus Bluetooth. It plays ans stops all the time. hands-free works great. Did you solve it?
Hello everybody.
the same issue with new Volvo S60. Previously car kit perfectly worked with Nokia E71... As for S2 - I was able to pair the phone and car. But afterwards, connection could be reestablished only if it's initiated from the phone side (I select "My Car" in bluetooth menu of the phone). Without such actions the car is unable to find the device...
Problem was solved for me when last modem was released. Use ROM with XKE2 modem.
Hi all,
Yesterday I have tested SGS2 (LiteROM 1.5) in my BMW E92 LCI and it works really fine so far.
(call, sms, phone adressbook and bluetooth audio streaming).
BMW offers the possibility to connect two phones at the same time.
I successfully connected my nokia business phone for bluetooth call & SGS2 for bluetooth audio streaming only.
SGS2 is the first mobile that I have connected to my car not only displaying title/artist information properly using the default music player,
but also offers good mp3 sound quality over A2DP.
Strange enough, when I use a different music player (e.g. PowerAMP) the title/artist information is not working any longer. Any ideas?
Cheers, Spad
Problem with transmission over car bluetooth
Hi there,
I have a galaxy s2 that used to connect (with no problems) with my alpine CDE-126BT
After I messed around with the service mode for a while trying to crank up the volumes, there is no transmitted voice over the call (the other side can not here me when I'm connected to the car's Bluetooth).
I know that if I reboot the phone all the changes that was done in the service mode would reset to the default settings, it seems to revert back default but I still have the same problem.
Any advice??
Thanks,
David.

Hi everyone,
Here is my challange:
I only use bluetooth with my carstereo (kenwood KDC-BT60U).
Everything works perfect, handsfree calling pairing ect. Now here is my problem, I like the BT stereo audio so I can play music from my LEO over my carstereo. BUT I cant get that function to autoconnect everytime I want to use it I have to go true all the menue's to turn it on in my phone. I have searched the reg but as a noob I cant find it.
I hope anyone has the answer to get it working like I want it to. (I have spent hours puzzeling)
P.S. I am on Artimis 22.0B Radio 2.12

Hi Jimi,
I'm starting to think that this is the case with most, if not all head units. I had, until recently, an In Phase IPS247BT head unit and that did exactly the same: automatically connects to the phone's handsfree, but I need to manually connect the stereo audio. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they designed it this way to save battery life on the phone. Some searching around on the internet shows that this is a common issue. On XDA, I found this application which runs in the background on your phone and automatically connects the Bluetooth streaming which it detects the handsfree is connected, but unfortunately, it only works on phones with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and our HD2s have the Widcomm one. I have been looking into writing a similar program myself for the HD2, but don’t hold your breath over that.
Incidentally, I have been considering purchasing the KDC-BT60U myself – it looks like a nice head unit. However, in the Bluetooth compatibility charts on Kenwood’s website, they state that the head unit cannot automatically connect to the HD2s handsfree and that you need to do that yourself from the phone. Admittedly, they tested this on a 1.43 ROM whereas I’m using the latest 1.66 ROM. What has your experience been?
--Amr
Hey amrbekhit,
I never had that the handsfree didn't connect automatically, as soon as I got my phone I flashed artimis so I dont know what it will be like with a 1.66 rom.
My personal guess is that it will work.
My neighbour has the same phone but its still stock and he has no problem with his pioneer unit.
I am not a programmer but a toggle would be a nice as a second option to activate the BT audio, I'll search for it when I have the time and post my findings here.
One thing that's weird is when you pair the phone for the first time the stereo also autoconnects but after that it almost never happens again...
thanks for your reply,
Jimi
I've just fitted a Kenwood KIV-BT900 to my car and started using BT for the 1st time. I've paired my HD2 with the headunit without any problems for the handsfree side of things but when connected, there's supposed to be an option for BT Audio in the headunit's menu but this never appears and I've no idea how to get any further.
Handsfree calling works fine, HD2 & KIV pair automatically when the KIV powers up.

Hi Major_Sarcasm,
In my Kenwood the option to connect BT audio is in the Phone selection menu
Press the horn, go to Phone selection press "enter", there I have something like choose Phone and beneath that I have select BT audio.
Not sure if the same menu is in your device.
I also can connect from the phone: go to settings (on the far right of sence), press the soft key menu than more and than you can choose BT, than go to go to your paired kenwood and press the "+". From there you can select Stereo Audio and it will connect.
P.S. did you check your supported connections? (*maybe you forgot to check the stereo audio).
Good luck, Jimi
Sounds like my Kenwood is slightly different as the BT Audio option is supposed to appear with all the other sources. Also, there is no Audio option on the phone's BT settings, only the HF. I'm not gonna let it worry me, the important bit works, it just irks me slightly that BT Audio is supposed to be there as an option and isn't...
Thanks for your reply though.
Hi,
I have the following problem:
Everytime I pair my Samsung Galaxy SII I9000 with my car (Renault Fluence 2012) and its built in bluetooth System, it says that it's correctly paired (and honestly it doesnt even take a minute to pair correctly), but it plays no music. It just has no sound (even when the song is playing correctly on the phone) but everything else just works perfect. I mean, i can control the music (songs, playlists, etc) from my car, but the sound just wont come out. The only way to make it work is to 'unlock' the sound by calling someone. So when the call starts, then the audio starts working. That is, so far, the only way to make it work. And i have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME that i turn on the car or that the device stops being paired with my car.
It does EXACTLY the same thing with my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S305), so I realized it was my phone. I have tried other phones with my car and they work just fine. I have tried other things with my headphones too (like my Psvita) and they work smoothly.
The weird thing about it, is that my phone used to work perfectly fine with both things, and just a random day it decided not to work anymore.
I used kies and re-installed android from 0, and that solved the problem for a few days and then it all started again. I have tried cleaning all the bluetooth devices that my phone is paired with. Going back to factory settings in my car, removing the battery on the phone, resetting the phone, taking everything out (including the sim card( everything. And nothing seems to work.
Please, help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII with Android 2.3.6 (it came with 2.3.3 and i upgrade it twice through kies) I have never rooted my phone or done anything to it, except for upgrading Android through Kies.
Thanks so much!!!

Wow... That's very strange. First off, I'd be looking at compatibility issues. Do you have the BT specs for the car? Maybe they're the same as the headset and not quite 100% compatible with the phone.
Another possibility (although remote) is that the headset and the car are fighting over which gets to talk to your phone because phone services are much different than A2DP (Audio).
You might just have a flaky BT antenna in your device, or a bad (stock) modem/baseband.
I'd try rooting and see if a different modem/baseband clears up the issue. Then at least you'll know what the deal is.
Hey, I also found this on the Renault web site... http://www.renault.co.uk/bluetooth/default.aspx
>> Why does my telephone not reconnect to the system when the vehicle is started?
- In order for your telephone to automatically connect when the vehicle is started, it may be necessary to activate the automatic Bluetooth connection function on your telephone with the hands-free kit. For details on how to do this, please refer to the instructions manual for your telephone.
- Upon reconnection and if there are several telephones paired within the hands-free kit reception area, it is the one that was paired last that will be connected even if it is outside of the vehicle.
So it looks like it might actually be a Renault AND a Motorola problem.
There's also a list of compatibility files at the bottom of that page based on the system you have.
First of all, thanks so much for your help.
The problem with whats going on with my phone, is that it used to work just fine before, with those 2 things (my car and my headphones) Its not like they never worked, they used to work completely fine with my phone.
And i never use them together, like my headphones have never even come close to my car. And since i thought that it could have been a problem with they 'fighting' with each other, even if they werent close, i erased all the cache on my bluetooth settings and unpaired all devices that were ever set with my phone.
So its like if i had never used bluetooth. That obviously didnt work either
It turns out that your car likely keeps up to 5 phones in memory... Is there a way to clear the phone list in the car as well? Then re-pair from scratch on both sides?
well either the blueth is defect or ur doing some wrong settings,root ur device there r plenty of bt apps tht work more powerfull than the default...y possible ur car mus hav a reset buttun for bt so delete all pairs frm phone an reset ur car bt,,,,then start fresh.....hope it helps
I restored my car's settings and deleted every phone paired. That didnt work either... I also tried with a friends phone (iphone 4) and that worked completely fine...

Time for a warranty replacement I think.
Jeez... thats exactly what i was trying to avoid, because my cellphone company will have me waiting for like a month without my phone and will give me in return the ****tiest phone ever while they try to fix it and then realize they cant.

thanks anyway for your help!
So, I'm having a strange issue with my new Note that I can't quite determine where the root cause may be, or if it's a known issue.
If I register my Note with my car as both a phone and an audio device (how the Infiniti nav/stereo works) I can use the Note as a phone fine UNLESS I start an audio app, such as Pandora. Once a2dp audio starts the Note will no longer connect as a phone device, but it works fine for audio.
I had the phone paired with the stock ATT rom but only used it as a phone, so unfortunately, without a restore to stock, I can't tell if the problem exists with the stock rom.
I flashed to flappjaxxx's rom (which I love) the same day I setup the phone to run Pandora via Bluetooth and that's when I started seeing the problem.
I also see some random connect/reconnects that seem a bit more than usual.
So, I can't say there's a correlation, or if this is a known ICS beta issue or what, but I'm hoping it is and that it's not a design flaw
Way I see it it's either:
1. Flashing to any ICS beta rom has the problem, currently?
2. It's in flappjaxxx's build (doubtful)
3. It's user error...(possible )
4. It's an app issue (ie. Pandora is causing the problem?)
Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or insights? I've done some searching but haven't found this exact issue yet on any posts.
Thanks!
I have a Kenwood DNX9960 in my Avalanche. It connects also for phone and for streaming media. I can be streaming media from either the stock music player or an internet site like pandora or TuneIn and my calls will automatically come through. When the call ends it goes right back to streaming.
It autoconnects to both as long as my phone is in range when I turn on the kenwood. I did have an issue at first where it would not autoconnect. I deleted the pairing from both my phone and headunit. Then when I repaired I paid close attention to check any boxes to "Always" allow connection and I haven't had any issues since.
I understand the normal pairing process, I've had several phones before that worked fine prior to the Note. So, I'm thinking that it is probably a corrupt bluetooth db... I'm going to be reflashing to Flaps new rom and we'll see how that does
Is there a way to delete the pairing from the nav? I would try that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
There is. I've tried it all, on both sides of the pairing.
I've reflashed the phone to the B6 from FJ, still no joy. The pairing db was new (so no chance of corruption on the phone) and the pairing deleted on the device.
It seems to be a problem with the phone switching between a2dp and phone bt. When a call comes in (while playing say Pandora over bt) the audio cuts out and then the car shows "disconnected" and then "connection failed" if trying to reconnect to the Note as a phone (ie hitting the phone button in the car).
I'm hoping it's the current ICS build. Just have no way to really know. Hoping some other folks will have seen the same issue.
Going to run some tests with different audio sources and see if the behavior is the same.
Well things seem to be working now, for no obvious reason I'll have to assume that the reflash resolved the issue, I just can't tell for sure why it didn't work immediately after. I think it's due to deleting the old pairing on the car and not shutting down the vehicle.
Cheers.
BT connections
I have similar problem connecting to van audio system (vauxhall). After some experimentation it appears to be an ICS problem, if I reflash my note with gingerbread I have seamless connections for both audio and phone. As soon as I upgrade even with offical ICS bluetooth connections become problematic, I can pair but not autoconnect. Tried samsung and they just "fob off" with it's an incompatable device. Until a bug fix is issued it appears as though it's a choic of staying with gingerbread and have a working system or ICS and no handsfree.
Hey all,
Need some help with this, getting quite frustrated:
I have an international S III (i9300) and whatever rom I use I have the exact same problem that seems to be related to bluetooth.
- First use it connects to my caraudio (pioneer deh-4400bt) and it works great, good sound etc.
- Than I start Sygic (navigation) on the Phone, which I set in the "Always use internal speaker mode", so it doesnt use BT
Now two things happen:
- In sygic the sound through the internal speaker is very soft
- When I try calling with the carkit it does connect and make the call, but I hear a terrible garbled sound and i don't hear the other side
When I turn off bluetooth and than start Sygic... sound is perfectly loud
I have tried several roms, lastly thinking the issue might be solved with 4.2.2 but still the same
Is bluetooth hardware or software, and, when software, is it kernel or modem related?
Anybody know what causes this problem and how to solve it?
Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in the first song. ?
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10. when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.
