Song track names via BT - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I have my phone paired up with my car stereo and it plays perfectly apart from the track names not being displayed. Is this down to a limitation on my stereo?
Thanks

Mine works just fine with my JVC unit, showing track and album names. On my old HTC it never did, and my wife's HTC Sensation also doesn't show track data. Likely to be your head unit. Try deleting the pairing and trying again though, could work properly in the next pairing.

Bluetooth

So, not that it's SUPER important. But I just got done dialing my system in my truck in. Put all the speakers in, sub, amps, head unit, etc etc. And I got a model with bluetooth. And I must say, it's legit. I can stream music via it from my phone, take calls and it'll mute the music so I can take the call. I recommend to anyone that drives and talks a lot to do this. It's not too much and it's very helpful and sounds decent too.
been doing that in my car for a couple years now... Love it. But for some reason my MoFo will drop the BT connection after playing music for about 20 mins. Well maybe drop the connection is the wrong thing to say, it is still connected, still get message notifications through the Headunit, but it stops streaming the music....
Are you using the stock music player?

Happens with Stock, Mixing, nemo, and Player Pro... Normally when it happens i have to reboot either my phone or the car to get it to play again...
Hm that's weird. I haven't hit any issues either.

My issues seem to only be in wife's car with a newer jvc unit. I have an older eclipse unit and it works decent but no audio interupts

Just put a jvc unit in my work car. Damn its sweet. Love being able to stream music without the aux cable.
Also mine has a bt remote so i cab skip tracks through Pandora or any of the other music apps without using the phone.
This and the unlimited Pandora apk is the best combo ever.

Do you guys leave your bt enabled on your phones? Never really used anything Bluetooth except for my ps3 so i don't know how much it would affect battery life leaving it on.

Is everyone having pretty good call quality on both ends? And what kinda set do you run? Stock? Just a head unit?
Sent from my Photon via XDA
Mine is a jvc kdr520 I got off Crutchfield. Call quality is great. I had my wife call me from the car and its all clear as it gets.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Jvc av794 i think. Works awesome. Names of songs pop up via bt through music app. Calls also work great. Car has a factory 9 speaker h/k otherwise
I also have an eclipse cd5030 and call quality sucks. But its been that way with all phones. I think the car is too loud and there is no echo cancellation sw.
Factory speakers otherwise. And a 10 inch sub.

Right on. I'm running four mids two tweets two amps and a sub. The amp is actually kinda handy for call volume.

Bluetooth???

Is anyone else experiencing constant Bluetooth disconnects while streaming audio? This happenes to me every 15-20 minutes whether I am listening to music or an audio book. Its only become an issue again because I started to drive my car which has MS sync in it. This is driving me insane because the only way I can get it to reconnect is to cycle the Bluetooth radio on the phone... So here I am at highway speeds playing with my phone, the exact thing the Sync is supposed to prevent.
Thanks

I get it every so often using my jawbone icon and Netflix. I am on the latest 198-7 ROM. I ended up making a tasker shortcut to cycle through for me, which works well. maybe you could program your camera button or something.

Thankfully, this is one problem I do NOT have!
Flawless connectivity with my Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and with my Hyundai Genesis.
I have not seen this issue at all. my truck unit works great and my Motorola headset works well. i stream every day and haven't had a bug yet, knock on wood.
I have a set of moto s9-hds and i have to unpair and pair at least once a day. I read on the moto forums that its a known problem.

I had this problem, I even started a thread for it. I used rsdlite to flash back to an older software an updated manually. Then once u pair your Bluetooth device click down on it and wait a few seconds and options will come up. Just make sure everything is checked off. Pm me if u need more help. I will try to make a video for everyone else.

I had the jawbone icon and i had the same frequent disconnect issues a few times a day, but i got the new motorola elite flip, love it btw, works way better than the icon every did and has only disconnected once since i have been using it for 3 days now and it automatically reconnected, unlike my icon where i had to do the power cycle

I have to shut down Pandora, thur headphones off/on, then go back to what I was doing? I just THOUGHT it was Pandora?

Bluetooth A2DP

Hoping a fellow xda member has found a way around this issue before. So I connect my amaze to my cars stereo to stream using A2DP, I use to do this with my galaxy s 2 as well. One thing I find annoying about the amaze is that unlike my gs2 it doesnt connect automatically and I have to enter the pin code everytime can someone share a way to get the amaze to automatically do this? Tried some autoconnect Bluetooth app from the market but it still made me type in the pin code.

In my car you have to register the phone to the head unit in order for it to connect automatically. Have you done this?
Hope it helps,

It works with my truck 100%. It may be your radio. I have an aftermarket Sony radio unit and my Amaze connects to it with no problem. My music plays through my speakers and I do not have to enter a pin code besides pairing it up for the first time.

Well I'm using a pioneer and my galaxy s 2 did this just fine. Everything else works fine which is weird I can flip through songs from the head unit. Another issue I see is the amaze only connects media or phone depending on which screen I'm on with my pioneer the only way to connect both is by going into the settings and doing it manually.

Are you on ICS or GB? I'm thinking of you should probably install ICS for the updated radio. It may give you a better connectivity.
I'm on ics it didn't work on either maybe my phone isnt paired as the primary or there is something I can reset in the stereo?

it connects with my car without any problem. and since i upgraded my phone to ics the connectivity is even faster.

You guys were right it connects rediculously fast with ics I got it figured out, has to register the phone permanently apparently the Bluetooth unit can connect for just a one time connect and permanent registration.

I have a 08 lancer gts with a navigation. It's connects to Bluetooth automatically. I recently added a2dp Bluetooth aux and I now have it connect automatically to that whenever I turn in the car. Only had to enter the pin once.

Does the gs3 have USB audio like if I wanted to listen to spotify in the car instead of using Bluetooth?

Good question. My Current radio doesn't see it, but since it presents the onboard media as a file share... is possible that if your radio supports USB memory, it may be able to read the radio as a big usb stick...
I am getting a new Mygig RHR hopefully monday.. that will support A2DP and AVRCP 1.4.. I will make a point of seeing if I can get it to also play USB audio from the s3..
Can I assume that you have seen this working on other android phones before?
The Samsung car dock connects via USB and audio out works from it, so I'd assume the functionality is there.

From what I have seen is that ics is supposed to be able to.

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a bluetooth headset that integrates well with Google Now? I currently have a LG HBS700, but it will not work with Google Now.
Thanks!

Are you able to use all the GoogleNow functions, e.g. ask for directions, send a text message, etc? Did you have to tweak it at all to get it to work?
Thanks!

Jawbone.. they are pretty Much the best bt headset you can get. They have all the functionality you could need.

My Motorola Sliver Elite only works while in-call or listening to media. No commands work at all.
Seems BlueAnt headsets work
None of my Motorola devices work. I use the MotoRKR T505 in my car. No voice commands, text messages don't read out. BlueAnt does have a mobile app to use with their devices.

This is a pretty handy thread so I will add mine to the list.
Jawbone Prime - only works for calls. no commands.
darn! I have the original Jawbone and it's paired with my DNA. Ihaven't tried with calls yet but, it won't give any other audio? Music etc? Also not having luck with my RocketFish RF-MAB2
I don't think it is the headset. It appears to be an issue with the way bluetooth is implemented.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34348
I purchased a Jabra Extreme to replace my Jawbone Prime. Works just the same. The mic is not used for any voice input other than phonecalls.
I'm wondering if the people that say their headset works really did test with a voice-to-text app.
I have been using the BlueAnt Commute http://www.myblueant.com/products/speakerphones/commute/
It is working with reading the text messages but I cannot figure out how to voice call a contact. The instructions do not work on the DNA. Instead of searching the contacts, it searches the yellow pages and web for the name I provide.
