Has anyone had any problem using the S3 in the car? I've got a factory fitted Bluetooth kit and it connects fine, but the other party cannot hear me at all. I can hear them fine though.

Mine is an A Class Merc, had the same issue with an HTC One S, I wonder If the Bluetooth is different on these newer phones and it's broken something somewhere.
Same issue here I can hear them but they can't hear me. Using sgs 3 and have a 2011 merc sprinter 313

Interesting, just tried it in my wife's Vauxhall, no problem at all...crystal clear both ways.
Try a couple of times. As it is intermittent in my van. Works sometimes but most of the time it doesn't. Callers just can't hear me
Ended up selling it today, car kit is a must for me, so back to iPhone 4S
I did see on the avforum
Just out of interest did you try it a few times in the vauxhall more than once?

Hi...Fine in the Astra, definitely a Mercedes problem, as I picked up a Note today from Amazon, exactly the same problem. I can connect, and hear them, they can't hear me.....so back it goes!
This is very strange, tried a Galaxy Note with Gingerbread, same problem, updated via Kies to ICS ,ver 4.0.3 and it fixed it, worked perfectly....borrow a Galaxy S3 to try again, running ICS 4.0.4, same problem.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I have the same problem, worked fine the first time I connected and hasn't worked again since :-(

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26959345&postcount=74
I have the exact same problem. I have a 2 year old Toyota Camry with a Toyota factory built-in car kit and since switching to the galaxy s3 nobody can hear my end of phone calls.
I can use the car kit to listen to music from the s3 and can even control the music with pause/stop/previous/next buttons from the carkit, but the problem is the microphone is dead.
The bluetooth connection actually takes the microphone function away from the phone over to the car kit, but then doesn't work... Previously I was using a HTC Desire and had no problems at all with the same setup...
I've tried unpairing the devices several times, but to no avail.
I'm not sure what to do next, but I can't change the car kit as it is a factory one and actually works really well with every other phone except for the galaxy S3.
Any help would be much appreciated. Taking the car back to the factory is quite annoying, I'm hoping there's an easier fix that can be done on the phone...
Works fine in my UK Honda Civic 2007. Does clash though with my HTC Car A100 bluetooth bridge - works fine on its own but the Media Audio pairing seems to stamp all over the Call Audio pairing so I am wondering if the S3 has a bug with splitting the 2 audio connections between 2 devices.
Could it be that you're hearing your caller through "Media Audio" & thus they are unable to hear you cos the pick-up mic on the phone is too far away/being noise cancelled instead of routing through the car's hands-free mic & being treated as "Call Audio" as it should?

My Atrix pairs up nicely with my '01 BMW's BT system, but will drop the connection after about 15sec, and then reconnect again, hold that connection for about 15sec, then drop it. Phone will show Paired but not connected, and the car will be in a similar state. Following other's suggestions, I cleaned out my Contacts-- even with no Contacts in the phone, the same thing happens.
Any idea what's going on? My iphone 3gs and 4 connected 100%, uploaded their Contacts, and never gave me a moment's problem, so I know the BT in the car is working OK.
Help!
Sorry to hear that. I have so far no problems with connecting my phone to my built in BT system. I have a Mazda 2010. I stream music and get incoming calls too.
I used a bt headset for an hour long conference call this morning. No lost connections yet. Reboot doesn't help?

Nope, rebooting doesn't help. BT on the Atrix works just fine with my Panasonic house phone that has BT on it.
I had the same issue today in my 2010 Dodge Ram. Captivate worked great in it, but the Atrix dropped the BT/Call after 30-45 seconds or so. I haven't noticed it dropping connection when I'm not using the phone (I have an icon on my ent/nav headunit), only saw the icon disappear when on a call.

OK, so I messed with it some more...
If I'm super-fast, I can dial from the car's BT system-- and the name of the phone does appear on the car's Nav. That is, until the phone and/or car drops the connection.
I've asked for help on Motorola's forum, and been tracking down a Product Manager @ ATT to get the word up the chain.
I have the same issue with my 04 3-Series. I posted about this in the Problem forum.
No bt issues here. I used it yesterday with a car kit/fm transmitter to stream Slacker and nav simultaneously to my stereo for a couple of hours and it worked great.

Can you skip forward and back and pause?
I could with the iphone but have not been able to get it to work with android.
The weirdest bit is that I got it to work for Pandora ONCE... then never again.
I think it has something to do with the way android treats certain devices... I have motorola BT stereo headphones that the controls worked for WinMo W7 and iphone, but do not work on any android device I've tried.
I also lose connection with the in car BT occaisionally but not very often and can usually get it to reconnect without much hassle.

Just because it worked with your iPhones doesn't mean the BT module isn't faulty...it might just have trouble accepting connections from certain things. Not to say the phone's *not* at fault, but don't assume it's the phone when there's a chance it could still be the phone.
I have a kenwood bluetooth module in my receiver that worked perfectly with every phone until I got an iPhone 4 (even previous iPhones worked fine). It wouldn't connect and finally when I got it to work the sound quality was horrendous (most people couldn't understand a single word). I thought the phone was obviously bad until I contacted Kenwood and they sent me a beta driver for the bluetooth module in the receiver. Updated the driver and it worked perfectly.
I agree- the BT module *could* be fault, but given that it works with all iphones and my BB Bold, I'd have to say that it's more than likely something to do with the way the Atrix/Android handles the connection.
Others are now chiming in on the Motorola Forum about this issue- including someone who has a newer BMW BT module than I have - he's also got the same issue. There's also a Dodge owner earlier in this thread that's got the same problem.
On a whim, I copied 20 contacts to the SIM, thinking that might be the problem.
Same results.
i also had bt pairing problems with my ford sync, and it seems to be android related as it also happened with my n1.
couple things to try that should help: disable wireless and make sure you aren't using the power widget on one of your home screens. also, i used autostarts to unbind the media button pressed event, and between those three things, the bt works fine...
Tried an experiement-- copied some contacts to the SIM.
Same issue- phone connects/disconnect/connects/disconnects for good.

Apparently you read my post...but didn't understand it completely.
My previous receiver worked *PERFECTLY* with all phones but the iPhone 4. I used about 20+ phones with it without a single problem...but the iPhone 4 wouldn't connect 3/4 of the time, and when it did it didn't transfer any contacts and when I made a call the sound quality was *very* bad. I obviously assumed it was the iPhone 4 until I tried another one with it...turned out it *WAS* the receiver having an older firmware that wasn't compatible with the iPhone 4.
The reason a lot of Audis and BMWs aren't working with a few Android phones (the Atrix being one of them) isn't because Android is designed poorly...it's because the firmware in the receivers doesn't handle the Android setup well. The reason most people can connect but can't get contacts is because the way BMW/Audis poll for Contact lists doesn't work with Android. The car manufacturers haven't spent the time required to realize this and put out a correction. You should be complaining to BMW or Audi about this (whichever type you own) and trying to get them to release an updated BT Stack for your receiver (they might say it's not possible but it is).
Thanks for the clarification.
I doubt that BMW is going to release a firmware upgrade for my BT module - its out of production, and it's already 'state of the art', circa 2006 when they stopped producing them. I've read of other issues with newer BMW and other cars still having issues with the Phonebook upload, which is where I think the problem lies. It doesn't seem to be isolated to older cars either- I've read of 2010 models having the same issue I've got, and not just from European makers.
Digging around, this is a common theme with Android and BT not playing nicely-- many other phone manufactures have released patches/updates to correct similar issues, and I'm hoping that with the Atrix being the 'biggest and baddest', that Motorola sees fit to do the same. I've got a $600 fully integrated factory BT system thats now useless, and I'd sure like to have it working again.
I sometimes forget that I've got another BT-enabled car to test on -- a 2010 Audi A3.
My Atrix paired with no issue, then popped up with a message in the Notification area about allowing access to the Contacts. Ahh-hah! When paired to my BMW, I never get that message. So... the BMW appears to be unable to complete the handshake for PBAP access, and when it fails, it drops.
After syncing with my BMW I do not get the PBAP confirmation.
I did not get the confirmation with my Inspire 4G either but that phone DID work just fine. Contacts and audio would work and never had a drop out when I had the phone.
So there is a way to "fix" this issue without updating the vehicles BT.
Tested with my car bluetooth with 2 calls for ~30 mins in all today morning. Worked fine. It stayed paired on all the time.
This post should possibly be on a BMW forum, but my SGS1 worked with my car, my new SGS2 does not...
My car is invisible to the phone and visa versa. I have had the phone for a few days only, so have time to return if if needs be, but of course I'd rather not!
I did not try it with stock ROM but it does not work with either Lite'ning or VillainROM.
Any ideas? (other than try it with stock rom!

First make sure you set the phone to be discoverable lol. Otherwise...
Model/year? iDrive equipped? If so, CCC or CIC?

I had a 2009 RRS which I'm pretty sure had the same non-integrated Bluetooth as it was sourced from BMW. Older phones worked fine with it but all the newer phones I tried either connected once then failed or never connected. I have a friend with a 2011 7er and the SGS2 paired with it fine.

I have both a 2009 5 series and a 2011 MINI Cooper S (both have BMW bluetooth stacks) and the SGS2 pairs with no problem. In the 5 series I found that it did not show up immediately to be paired, but a restart of the phone and discoverable enabled it to show up (although slowly, but once it appeared pairing was enabled without a problem).

Same here, pairs up with my GT-R instantly as long as bluetooth is toggled on the phone. My previous unbranded SGS GT-i9100 also paired up with the GT-R with no problems.
I have the same combination as you : 320d 2008 and Sgs 2 . Works without any issues , even better than my old nokia . Does your phone pair with other BT devices (like a hands-free, or a laptop) ?

Hi,
The car pairs easily with my wife's iphone 3gs.
I had another 320d 2008 before this one (changed body type from saloon to estate) and the previous one had no problems with my SGS1 but my new car struggled but eventually got my SGS1. Now with my SGS2 there is NO sign of anything!
The bluetooth in the car never did find anything though, it was always the phone that found the car, and then the car responded and I entered the code and all was fine...
The phone "sees" all sorts of other cars passing by, other phones, other headsets... so the phone is ok, just the bluetooth on the SGS2 is obviously not backwards compatible, which is a massive bummer.
Mark.
you probably just need a software update from BMW of your system.
A part of that update is adding various new handsets for compatability to the bluetooth system.
I have a 320cd 2003 and my SGS2 connects to its bluetooth no problem. So def not a backwards compatiblity problem as mine is older than yours.
I would recommend a software Update for your car too.
No problem here with an 2011 120d.

Hi guys
Hmmm interesting.
When I had my SGS1 and changed from the 2008 saloon to the 2008 estate and the SGS stopped working with the car, I went to the BMW dealer and they said they do not upgrade the bluetooth. I was shocked since it cant be too hard, and for a company so big on being green (auto stop start etc) making things obsolete before the warranty has expired is pretty harsh.
I dont know how to reset bluetooth on the car, I can switch BT off, but there is no phone in the memory to clear, so dont know how to get the car to reset it's bluetooth. My car has the "Professional" sound system ie the built in bluetooth with steering wheel control.
Any further tips most welcome... but the BWM garage said there is nothing wrong with it, it's my phone.

Hi
there is nothing in the manual about resetting bluetooth.
I called the BMW dealership twice today and spoke to service, both times asked if my phone is on the "compatible list". I said I would not consider buying a phone that was obsolete 2 years ago so I could find something in their very outdated list.
One guy said pulling the battery is the only way to "reset" the electronics, another guy said there is no point in that, you cannot reset it.
They were both baffled that people on this forum have older BMW's that pair to the very same phone.
Tomorrow I pull the battery out and also try pairing my wife's 3Gs for the hell of it.
Tx again,
Mark.
I have a pair of Motorola S305 headphones and they absolutely will not connect to either of my Flyers. One is running LeeDroid and the other Cool Honey. The tablets see the headphones but will not connect. When I try to click on the headphones under "Paired Devices" I get "The application Settings has stopped unexpectedly"
I am pretty new to Flyer ROMs so I am not sure if this is common or if there is a known fix. It is a major issue as my fiancee uses these headphones to watch video on her commute.
Any ideas? Thanks

No connection problems with stock rooted Honeycomb here. Connected fine, was able to adjust volume, skip tracks, and pause using the headset controls while listening to Google Music.
I have also learned not to mod the Wife's electronic devices... that is why she now has an iPad and iPhone 4s and refuses to let me touch them. She used to have an Evo 4G and called me from work one day because her "customized" phone was in a bootloop and I had to walk her through recovery to flash a stock rooted ROM. She was not happy that day!
I have noticed when i pair my SG3 with my Nissan Maxima, it pairs easily... but sometimes it just disconnects from the car.
After i turn off the car and restart it, the BT does not re-connect. Anyone else experience that? Are their any fixes?
The BT options have selections for Phone and audio (i am assuming for Pandora, etc)
i have only had it stream audio once playing a movie and it only kicked in after about 2 minutes.

i use a panasonic link2cell cordless phone and it does not autoconnect when i get home and come into range or turn on bluetooth.
that's my biggest complaint about the phone. My old captivate worked great it autoconnected as soon as i turned on blutooth or came into range. S3 requires i go into the settings for the device and manually connect. Not sure why they made it take 4 extra steps to do such a simple task and i hope they fix it soon.

yea i've had it for over a year and been really happy with it. I've only noticed poor SQ if i take the cell too far away from the base. I pretty much just plug my cell into a charger and leave it right next to the base station for the cordless because the range for BT isn't that great.
I also use an obi100 with google voice on the same cordless and have found that the L2C has better SQ than the obi/GV.
I pretty much make/answer all calls over the L2C and hardly use the obi/GV really. Just make sure you leave the cell near the L2C base.
Still off topic...

i used chat to find out how to make it automatically connect and go into the 'call audio profile' and this is what they said
"I am to inform you that, Galaxy S3 is designed with security purpose all in built in features are different compared with other devices this always seeks the permission of the user to access any thing it is designed with all business purpose features this is the reason that there is no built in feature to connect the device even it is paired."
lol
I also tried phone support and that guy tried to say it was because of the NFC lol.. when i called him out on that he basically said he didnt know but he 'escalated' my concern and i could try calling back in a couple of days to see if there was a work around.
I just want it to connect and use bluetooth device automatically after the intial pairing... S1 did it and so should the s3.
I know some of that security talk is true but I thought that was for a enterprise version of gs3 to be later released

After doing a little troubleshooting, I've narrowed it down to just the radio in my truck..every other Bluetooth radio I have works fine. I'll wait till we get a final OTA I guess..

You Know i am also wondering if the issue may be coming from what version of bluetooth those other devices use i know that my alpine in my car uses v3.0 of bluetooth and it has the issue but the i home speaker i have no skips at all.
I have the same problem with my Pioneer AVH 4500Bt in my MDX. What is funny is when my wife and I were in NYC yesterday, I had her sync her IPhone 6 to my radio and the problem continued. I played my phone with a pair of Bluetooth headphones today with no skips. This problem is weird.

The radio in my truck is a Pioneer FH-x700BT...plays my M8 on lollipop fine, but something with this version on the G3 doesn't agree. Hopefully the next OTA fixes something

I have the same problem and have been working on hunting this down.
I have a pioneer deh-80ors receiver with the vs985.
On 12b and previous bluetooth works great but everything after that introduces the problem.
The audio plays normally for 15-45 seconds regardless of the app used, then drops for a second, plays for a second in a hurried mess and repeats until the receiver is restarted or bluetooth is disabled on the phone and reconnected.
I have tried a handful of roms for lollipop without success (I do like skydragon though - nice and lean with the termal mod).
If I flash back to OEM 12b using kdz everything works great. If I load an old rom like jasmine 4 it works great. I have tried enabling and disabling all settings from the hidden menu for bt_test with no results other than it occasionally not working at all.
I have read reports of people turning off the call audio from the bluetooth pairing with mixed results, using an app from the manufacturer of the deck (which doesn't work here since pioneer connect was released like two years ago), disabling driving mode (for the S2 and S3), and all kinds of other snake oil. Based on the fact it works fine with the OEM revision up to the one before lollipop leads me to believe it's some problem with lollipop directly. I'm confident it's not the bluetooth drivers or firmware as flashing between major releases resulted in the modem being broken (intermittent LTE) but the same bluetooth issues. That is, unless the BT drivers are built into the release and are specific to each one in which case replacing the new drivers in a more modern ROM with the old ones may work.
The worst part is that most decks don't work with droid devices nearly as well as apple anyway, if we could just plug them in over usb I would be ok with that. Unfortunately the receiver doesn't even see the thing and no manner of apps or settings changes I could do ever got that working either. If anyone has gotten a usb audio connection working (preferably without USB Audio Pro App which is the one that most people like) I would love some input.
