My Epic 4g Touch worked pretty good with my MyFord Touch setup in my car. It would show artist and song titles when streaming music. It would notify me of new text messages and read them aloud.
In comes my brand new Evo LTE. All that went out of the window. Pretty disappointing. It will stream music fine but no titles on the radio display. It does not tell me about new texts nor will it read them for me.
So... the latest greatest isn't as advanced as my last phone. Bummer
EDIT: I spoke too soon. I found a setting under the advanced bluetooth settings: Message Access. I set the service to on and now the messaging does work through the car stereo... Still no song info though.
Sounds like software issues that more than likely will be resolved down the line. This phone has bluetooth 4.0 so one would think that technology would get better as time goes on.
I also have a Ford with MyTouch software on it, and love the Bluetooth feature. That sucks to hear, but is something I can live with. It doesn't let you respond to the text while driving anyways. I've always wished you could talk to it and reply to texts that way. What kind of car do you have?
I hope they will be able to fix that. I have a 2012 Explorer.

Nice dude I have a 2011 Sterling Grey. I freakin love that thing.
afaik its 4.0.4 that has the new bluetooth stack with whatever acrynum it is that does that.
and yes, I hate it too. My tC loves my touchpad for that feature.
4.04 on the Epic Touch didn't have this issue (feature). Come on HTC!

thanks for the tip. no idea on the skipping though. Finally got the phone to cooperate with my 2012 scion tC (stock radio)... but i blame that on made radio more than my phone, that thing is always doing what it wants.
its AVRCP 1.3 that displays track name, and again, afaik its in 4.0.4.
Others are also having the same problems on the Att HOX with their cars. Also having issues with audio out of sync with video when using Bluetooth headset or speakers and watching movies.

Did you do anything else or it just worked after you checked that off?
I have a 2011 Edge and I have it ticked off on phone but the car screen still says phone doesnt support messaging.
I might have re-paired the phone with the car, but not sure.
Update of Bluetooth Music streaming. If you are having trouble streaming music via bluetooth, turning off Wifi fixed my problem. I turn it back on and the music stops and goes every couple of seconds.
Hopefully HTC will fix this soon....

I have a jvc deck that has built in blutooth. It routes the sound they the car speakers and uses a wired microphone. Call quality transmit an receive is pretty damn good. However, when using bluetooth audio...say pushing anything from the music app, or pandora, there is alot of static attached to the signal. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions. I am rooted but still stock. I use poweramp as well as the default player at times.

I have a jvc deck as well, and I don't have any problems with static over bluetooth. I use Pandora and Google play music, and both work great for me on stock, CM7, CM9, and MIUI. MIUI actually works the best for me as far as bluetooth playing nice with the head unit.
Never used power amp or stock tho, so I can't speak for that.

Thought I really hate the annoying noise when I use the wired earphones.
Ill have to experiment with a few other players. I rarely use the phone for streaming in the car. Odd, I really dint pick up any noise with wired cans. On a side note, I found a new player 'neutron' that blows away anything I've used this far in the sq department. Its a paid app that offers a limited use 'timed' trial.

Similar issue
I've also got a semi-stock Photon 4G. Been using it fine in my Ford Fusion w/ Sync. Sunday, tried to make a phone call and it was just static. Turned off the bluetooth on my phone and it was fine. Now, it's unable to make a call through Sync. It pairs fine, just nothing but static. Why the sudden change? No new updates from Motorola or Sprint that I'm aware of. BTW, by semi-stock, I mean it's rooted. No custom ROM's or what not. Any ideas? I've googled some and it seems that the Photon 4G has some bluetooth related issues. I really like the phone and had really planned on holding off on upgrading since there wasn't a real 'need'. Another issue I've had lately is receiving texts w/ no sound. It vibrates, but doesn't give me a sound. I checked the setting and even when scrolling through the notification sounds, it doesn't do it. Then it will randomly do it. Rebooted and battery pulls have been done. Really, REALLY don't want to do a reset. Ideas? Are they related?
I use bluetooth audio everyday, and I've used every rom except stock. Bluetooth always works very well. Rule out your jvc device first, test your Bluetooth on something else. Then reset or reflash, then use your warranty.

I also intermittently get static when making calls in my Focus via Sync over Bluetooth. I can faintly hear the caller in the background, but the static is MUCH louder than the person. When this occurs, there are some other symptoms the phone exibits:
No audio will play via multiple apps. Tested in Pandora (cycles from one song to another), Amazon MP3 (same as Pandora), Youtube (Gives an error about audio), Voicemail (Unable to play the message).
Alarms only vibrate, no audible alarm.
When trying to do a call via speakerphone, the person on the other end cannot hear me.
The fix I have found is to reboot. The phone is stock, but has been rooted, and has occurred for the past few months, even with the update that came out at the beginning of August. I tried reflashing it in June with the 198 SBF, but didn't do a reset of the data. The reflash succeeded, but the problem is still occurring. I removed "Words with Friends" and "Scramble with Friends" last night to see if it helps.

Rats. Too bad I hate Sense, so I'll probabpy go with a Galaxy S III, even though I dont like TouchWiz. However, Touchwiz is preferable to Sense. Might go Galaxy Nexus, not sure. For now, haven't had it reoccur yet, but we'll see.
Good news: not a single reoccurance of the static over bluetooth and no audio. I still wonder how an app can effectively crash the audio stack, though. Oh well.

Hi,
I have a 2012 Ford Focus with Sync and not able to get the audio to stream over Bluetooth on my Verizon GSIII. I've looked in the Bluetooth menu on the phone and it says phone and audio sync. However when I go into Phone mode in my vehicle, only phone call audio will come through the speakers but If I try streaming music, no audio comes through the speakers (or the phone). Does anyone have Ford Sync and has successfully streamed audio through bluetooth? If so, are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
I have no issue with my GS3 and Ford Sync. But I encountered it before using my older Android phone. I resolved it by doing a master reset and pairing them again. Hope this helps.
I don't personally own sync... My Mustang and F150 are too old but I drove my Dads Fusion yesterday. I didn't have a ton of time to play here is what I found worked....
First Sync the 2,
Then go in my phone into the Bluetooth menu and click on sync and make sure they are paired & connected.
(Generally in the past it just automatically did that like on my Tbolt.)
I'll let you know as I play with it more. It was very clear bluetooth audio at that!!
I have a 2011 Ford Flex and have no issue. Make sure you're saying. "Bluetooth Audio" when prompt by the voice command from the car. If you're still are having issues try pulling the fuse in the vehicle for your SYNC system (look in your owner's manual for location) for about 60 seconds, allow it to sit for 10 minutes, resync your phone and try again.

I did make sure the volume was turned up on my phone. The Sync in my vehicle has a button to press to go into phone mode and that is what i was in... i cycled through settings there but couldn't find anything for media. I also pressed the Aux button in the car to be sure it didn't want that mode, but that was actually looking for an auxiliary connection and not bluetooth.... I'll have to experiment some more with what some people talked about in this thread, but so far no dice.

turn you bt on, on the right side of Sync there is a (*) for setup, press it you will see the call-media audio settings. select the media setting and you should be ok. you MUST be Paired to do this with bt on.

Neather fro HTC! :silly:
I've had the Note (AT&T) since not too long after it hit the market with AT&T. The Gingerbread release worked quite well, but I had heard "great things" about ICS. The day that ICS became available, I loaded it and was ready to be seriously impressed.
Instead, I'm quite let down. The additional "bloat" put into ICS to provide some changes to TOUCHWIZ are simply not worth it to me. What's worse the Bluetooth stuff has been changed enough, and in certain ways, to make it problematic for me now.
I have a vehicle with an integrated Bluetooth system. My phone is always paired when I'm in it, and I never make use of the audio profile for playing music through the stereo (but it's connected anyway). Under 2.3 / Gingerbread, everything worked fine. With the 4.0.4 / ICS software, audible notifications while paired to the system sound "choppy" (can't think of another way to describe it). The sounds stutters when the phone is attempting to notify me of, say, an incoming email message.
When the phone is not paired to anything, the notifications are fine.
I had an opportunity today to pair the handset to a completely different device and find that the issue follows it. It is absolutely not a hardware problem because it worked fine with GB. The issue is also not my vehicle because, again, it worked fine when the phone was running GB.
What I learned today, with the new BT device, is that the phone is actually attempting to provide the audible alert through BOTH the phone's speaker AND the audio profile / BT. On the device I had paired today, the sound through the speaker is the same sort of choppy notification it has been, but the sound through BT seems smooth.
There are no settings in the BT area to tell the phone to not use Bluetooth for audio. Does anyone know about this issue? More importantly, does anyone have a fix?
I too have that issue. Maybe a développé une ould look into this.

I use both the audio and phone BT profiles on my car stereo. It took me a very long time to enable audio. I have no clue what worked. I do know that you can see what is enabled by tapping the gear icon next to the paired item in the paired item list.

The problem isn't in getting both working... The issue is HOW the phone works when both are enabled. There's almost certainly a bug in the ICS code that needs to be corrected.

My mistake. I shouldn't have mentioned my troubles. They masked the fact that I mentioned how to disable individual profiles by tapping the gear. You can uncheck audio there.

Yep. That works to correct the problematic issue of "it sounds funny when both are enabled", but it emphasizes the fact that there's an issue with the way that Samsung's ICS for the AT&T Note treats the Media audio profile whether it's active or not...

Anyone else notice this bug?

This has effected me on Google now also. The only thing that works right is s-voice, but who wants to use that!? I found a workaround, but you are basically still using your phone for the voice recognition, and the Bluetooth strictly for voice calls. If you can work with that and just toggle between the two if you want to use your Bluetooth for other audio, this will work for you.
Just go into your Bluetooth settings for whatever device you have paired, and turn off "media audio". Voice detection will now work fine, but you have to do it through the phone(which kind of defeats the purpose, but hey...it's just a temporary workaround). Hope this helps

Not just the Note II either. My SGS3 does exactly the same thing. Seems like a bug or someone, somewhere thought it was good idea. Siri (on my iPhone 4S)worked while streaming audio and paired to my car and my Nexus 7 works too (even though it doesn't have a 'phone' both options are there and checked and it works).
I just noticed this last night. While my headset was paired, I tried to use speech recognition through Swiftkey Flow Beta and it would not work. Also, when I hit the multi-purpose button on my headset to voice dial, SIRI would come up instead.
SIRI must die. Soon.
Is there anything new with this issue?

Could you explain a little better? You have your bluetooth device paired with both phones, and once you end a call on the flip phone, your Evo starts playing music!? On the bluetooth device or through the phones loudspeaker? I apparently do not understand, because that makes no sense to me at all.
I have 4 bluetooth devices paired with both of my Evo LTEs and my both of my 10.1 Asus tablets. When I end a call, none of them randomly start playing music.....

Is the music coming from spotify, Pandora, I.e. third-party app? If so its the app you'll have to go into the apps setting and see if it has a resume on connection setting. Power amp does for sure. I use spotify a ton and sometimes it catches me the same way. But, seems like usually if I pause the song first that it tends to not start without me telling it too. The on board HTC music player is the same but, I know it does not have a setting to stop it from doing that. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Correct it's coming from the stock music app and plays thru my blue tooth as I end the call on the flip phone. Maybe I'll try to unpair them both and try again.
