I actually think ICS has a compatibility issue with certain BT devices.
I bet you ran in to no issues on the GB platform.
My BT crashes my phone when paired with my car stereo and streaming music. And I cant get my phone book to work either.

Actually I did.

Bluetooth broken in gingerbread

I don't use bluetooth often but my wife's new car has bluetooth and when I had froyoi could connect no problem. Now that I'm running gingerbread (have the issue with simply honey 3.5 and 3.6) It says failed to connect every time I try to pair it. Anyone else having bluetooth issues or know of a fix?

it could be the rom, try another GB rom and see if thats gb rom!
I was living in the stone ages using the 3.5 mm audio cable. I won a wireless gateway from Blackberry at work and aww man. The music hasn't sounded better.
Neways back to ur question I would also like to know. That's one thing keeping me away from gb

Bluetooth keyboard

Has anyone used/tried a Bluetooth keyboard with this phone, I am finding myself missing tactile keys since moving to this phone. Are there any compatibly issues to worry about or will any Bluetooth keyboard be able to work on the phone?

Bluetooth keyboards AND mouses (mice?) work. Here's the caveat: on any 2.3.6 ROMS, they load once then after you shut bluetooth off and turn it back on, you're done. It cycles on and off continuously. It's a problem with all 2.3.6 ROMS, and it's not a kernel issue, it's a bug within the Android System itself.
Meanwhile, if you have a 2.3.4 ROM or 2.3.7 (CM7 and MIUI are these builds) the keyboard and mouse will work without a hitch. I've tested it, and it's pretty legit man, not gonna lie.

The bthid issue has been fixed in the kk6 build as well as newer releases, thanks to Entropy512, his newest kernel has it working again.

I bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and found it actually works much much better on my GS2 than it does on the tab. Wasn't able to sync the mouse to my phone though, not that it would be that useful with a mouse anyways.

after ICS install bluetooth audio (Pandora) in car not working

Hello,
After installing ICS rom, my pandora bluetooth in all my cars is not working. it keeps pausing.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I don't have this issue. How did you get to ICS? One click odin exe?
I installed it through cwm
Does anyone have a fix?
I've had this issue a couple times with gb ROMs.
This sounds crazy, but after un pairing and repairing a couple times I was finally able to get it working by starting the Google Music app. Strangely enough, I was able to do this a couple more times after flashing other ROMs without needing to repair the device.

My regular phone Bluetooth in my car has been unreliable since ICS. It will be fixed in time so I'm not really worried about it.

Yp-g70 and Bluetooth headset pairing problem

Please help...been attempting to find answers on the web for about a week now, but no joy. My device is running Gingerbread.ueki8, firmware 2.3.5. Purchased a Samsung HM1200 bluetooth headseat and my Yp-g70 will not find the device. Followed the headset pairing instructions precisely...very simple...ensure led is blue (pairing mode) and press the talk button. I've tried doing this with wifi and gps disabled, among other subtle things, with no luck. Of course, I've been simultaneously telling the device to scan for new bluetooth devices. Is there something programmed in the OS or firmware that's preventing the bluetooth headset from being visible? If so, is there a software/rooting solution? Any help is Greatly appreciated.

Have you made sure the player is visible to other Bluetooth devices? That might be the issue

Paired the hm1200 headset succesfully to an itouch...was visible immediately. Still can't get my yp-g70 to find the device. Is there a known software or hardware restrictive setting in the Galaxy player 5? Does anyone know of a solution?

I haven't had any issues with my other BT devices. The only issue I can think of is that your device doesn't support the same version of BT. I had issues with the BT keyboard then realized it only works for Android3.X+ and iDevices. Check that and make sure it can support Android 2.X.
Thank you so much for the response. The manual "says' it supports bt 3.0, just as the headset manual does. I spent 45 minutes on tech support chat with Samsung for them to end with "the yp-g70 doesn't support a bluetooth headset, only headphones". I think I'm officially going to give up.

i would think that the bluetooth would only not support the mic portion of the headset. but tech support knows best i guess

Horrible Bluetooth Range

I did search didnt see it addressed so figured id see if anyone else has issues with Bluetooth. Ive tried my bluetooth headphones and speakers with 2 other phones and my tablets and have no issues. With my note im lucky if i can get more than 5 ft of range before it starts breaking up. Im currently running bigfau blackstar rom. Tried stock and cm10 jb but none made any difference in bluetooth. Also tried without my case still no change. Thank you for any input

I use my bt all day, every day for both phone and music and haven't noticed any difference between rooms, and I've tried a bunch.
That's strange. I have a set of Beats Wireless BT headphones.
I can be quite far from the phone with them still working fine. I've tried on all the ROMs I've tried; mainly CM9, PA (earlier), AOKP, etc.
Just for giggles, remove a case if you're using one and see if it improves. A TPU or plastic type case shouldn't matter, but just isolate it as a problem.
I use BT Tether between my phone and tablet reliably 5+ feet away, and my BT GPS works for at least 5 feet (and that's about norm for how far it goes; small antenna on its side), so all seems about on par to what I'm personally used to.
