My 3VO has three devices assigned to it, but only one is ever active. I used to be able to use one bluetooth device, then when it runs down, switch, all while not disrupting the call. Now if I switch devices, the call is still active, the switch happens, but I cannot communicate (no voice or sound). To make matters worse, in my X5 I'm having connectivity issues. I would be connected to the car, then every 3 mins it would unconnect and reconnect seconds later. I even went as far as removing the X5 from my list, and still the problem persists.
I will confirm that I have all devices charged, very near the proximity of the phone, and have not DLed any software that would cause an issue.
As I said before, I used to be able to switch devices and not lose the call, now something has changed. I can be on a call and activate a bluetooth device and have it transfer to the bluetooth, no problem, but if I am on the bluetooth, I have to drop the call, switch, then call back.

My car (Peugeot 307CC) has built-in Bluetooth, and it works pretty good with the Touch HD.
My previous phone was the original Touch and besides the phonebook it also gave the option of seeing the recent calls (outgoing/incoming) with the HD I only get the phonebook.
It doesn't bother me very much but that call list was handy for not having to scroll through my whole phonebook.
Did I miss a parameter (that was not on the original Touch) somewhere?
a little update ...
strange, this morning I suddenly had the "Call List" and it worked, ... for 1 call, after that again only the phone book was available
I have something similar too, using a FISCON unit in my Touareg where the Provider network name is not being exchanged, however the signal strength is. After taking a call, all of a sudden the network name is visible on the headunit.
Looks to me like some software issue, as when looking into the BT profiles all actually are there to allow exchange of network names and such.
Did a hard reset last week and now again I only have the phonebook.
I'm not even looking at the battery meter/network provider/signal strength because those are very irregular (but that was the case with my old original Touch too)
I can have all three, some or none and then after a call it changes again but they're not so important, only having the phonebook does make things more difficult (plus that it worked with the original Touch makes it even more painful)
I can confirm your problem with my Audi
sometimes it works,
sometimes not,
sometimes I can see all contacts,
sometimes not,
sometimes I can see the calls,
sometimes not,
the last two days it was working fine
some days before also the bluetooth connection drops
AND I have had none of these problems with orbit²
I have the Pioneer DEH-P800BT head unit and I don't get any of the problems mentioned above. The problem that I do get from time to time is that the call answer button on the head unit doesn't work, so I have to press the answer button on the phone, then it continues to work as it should, hands free through the stereo.
No problems with my Sony MEX BT 2500 head unit
I can receive and make calls, and do A2DP streaming as well.
This head unit has no call list/contact features.
no problems with my carkit. Phone book works fine. I have an Opel Zafira
The only problem I have is the bluetooth connection. It droppes after a while. Saterday i flashed to dutty's Rom. For so far i can see it, the problem is solved.

Found it, apparently the car can't handle too many items in the last calls list, I had a lot more than 100 items in that recent call list, when I erased them and had a few calls the list came back, so I'll be having a look for when it disappears again and then clean out the list again ...
So nothing wrong with the phone's Bluetooth, the car just can't handle it
Hi,
I have a VAG (Volkswagen, Skoda, SEAT, Audi,etc..) group's car. It included a built-in bluetooth system. It did well with all my previous phones but with the HTC Titan it does not work as expected. It connects to the mobile and If I do a call just then it works well. Nevertheless, after a while from connection the system gets stuck and does not work. Two minutes later, the connection drops and reconnects after 30 seconds. Then, another two minutes and drops connection, and so on... It seems to be a problem with the agenda as no synchronization is performed and the system seems to lock there... Anyone with such issue and or suggestions/recommendations?. I have tried everything (no sleep mode, screen always on, USB connected for power, full cleanup of the system, no apps installed... ) but nothing happens. I have thought of using a bluetooth sniffer to see what is going on... but did not find one...
Thanks in advance,
Jose
My S4 will not auto-connect to my Subaru Impreza 2013. It requires that I press the connection 4+ times for it to connect, even then it will randomly drop out. I've read where it is mentioned to ensure that the connect with all visible devices is checked (it is), but the way I read the option is that it should be visible to devices it has paired with regardless of whether that box is checked.
Another problem I have had is with navigation. Sometimes it will not reroute or if I leave the navigation app to look at a message, or answer a call it will start to crash the navigation. I have tried killing the app and restarting (super cool if there is traffic...) but it will continue to act oddly for several minutes.
I'm pretty sure the issue is with the S4, I exchanged my old S4 with another and continued to have the same problems, even though my Nexus4 had no issues.

Any idea? (Sorry if bumps are uncool)
Just bought the second gen moto 360. Whenever i turn off bluetooth from my phone it doesnt immediately show on my watch that phome has been disconnected. I have also installed the find your phone app which tells you that phone is out of range when it loses bluetooth connectivity. The notification or vibration for disconnect usually come to the watch after a minute or two. Is there any problem with the watch?

Nah, no problem with the watch, it dose the same on mine.
There is due to this some kind of "power saving" feature either on the watch itself or in Android Wear app, that's why it doesn't show the disconnected sign on the watch immediatly nor the vibration alert sent by whatever apps similar to "Find your phone" app (I've tested quite a few)
What I found is that, if you turn on your watch's screen from either ambiant mode or non-ambiant mode (black screen) to normal mode, the disconnected sign would show up as well as the disconnected vibration alert within seconds, otherwise, it could take minutes...
It is kinda annoying if we wanna use those apps to alert us whenever we've left our phone behind or it's being stolen since it does not make any vibrations UNLESS we manually wake the watch face up
This kind of alert should really have been built into the Android Wear app's settings in the first place along with the vibration strength/duration settings (few 3rd party apps can do that pretty well), because a lot of us often find the watch's vibration is weak (well, actually, not that weak but too short), we know the purpose is to preserve the battery's life, but I bet a lot of us would prefer to not miss notifications rather than having a few extra hours of battery life...
I am using Stratos for about 6 months now. At first I thought everything was fine but after some time I discovered that it interferes somehow with my car's bluetooth hands-free installation from first day I had it. The watch is connected with phone and my phone is connected to my car's stereo via bluetooth. If the watch is not present in the car everything works fine but if I have my watch on, I have a lot of problems talking. A call (incoming or outgoing) usually starts normally but after a few seconds in call I suddenly can not hear the other person but they say that they hear me all the time. Then after about 5-10 seconds it is OK again and we can talk but then this problem randomly occures during the call again and again... So in a single 3 minute phone call it happens at least 3-4 times that for some short time I can not hear the other person but they hear me all the time. At first I thought that there is problem with my old phone (MI 6), bluetooth, mobile reception, old car stereo (it is 8 years old) but later I found out that this is happening only when I am wearing Stratos when I am driving and it has been happening every since I have my Stratos and I am almost positive that it has nothing to do with ROM and app updates.
The other problem I am facing is that all incoming calls are displayed as "Unknown" caller ID on my watch. It worked fine at first - it didn't output the caller name every time which I read has something to do with the format of numbers that are stored in my contact list so I was fine with that but I am still not convinced that was the case because for the same incoming caller it sometimes displayed their name but sometimes only their phone number. But now for the last month or so all incoming calls are displayed as "Unknown" even though I didn't change anything.
I tried just about everything - rebooting phone, rebooting watch, unpairing, factory resetting watch etc.
My Amazfit app is 3.3.0, my Stratos ROM is 2.3.10.5 - both should be up to date. All permissions are granted to Amazfit app (camera, contacts, location, microphone, phone, storage), contact sharing is granted in bluetooth connection with Stratos.. but I am still having the issues with caller ID display and especially making phone calls in car is very frustrating - you just can not talk with somebody if you can not hear him for 20% of the time.
Any help would be appreciated
Try disabling WiFi while in the car, it might help. If not, some phones have problems with multiple BT connections (ROM bugs), a simple workaround would be enabling airplane mode on watch while driving.
For the second part, the number in your contacts list must match exactly the number user by your cell phone's carrier, sometimes even the use of spaces or dashes cause problems. If it is correct, for some users it only worked after adding the Contacts/Favorites app to the notifications list in Amazfit app.
