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.

Does the send/receive text messages work on Sync? I haven't figured that out, just curious if anyone else has or if it just doesn't work at all. Thanks in advance.

lol im waiting for a 2013 focus ST and this isnt encouraging.
It worked with my DX2 so I can only assume it would work with the SGIII. It's not a very forgiving or likable feature though.

I have a 2009 Focus and have used several brands of phones all with Sprint and have been able to use bt audio. In some occasions I have to go to the bt screen and press and hold your bt connection and you will get a submenu that let you select the audio or media connection.

There's also a message function on Sync that I have never been able to use. :-(

Is your volume for turned up for for bt on the phone?

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.

The bluetooth connection with my RX 400 has horribly static. it is running rhe stock rom without the new ota. does anyone else have issues with their connections or suggestions?
Working with my 2011 Touareg. No static, but I don't play media through bluetooth. Just calls.
But it keeps trying to pair even after it successfully pairs.

most vehicles dont supports playing audio. i only care about the static issue
I have found that if I am holding it in my hand, then it does have alot of static. But if I do put it in my pocket with the back facing out, then I am fine.
I use it for phone and music and streaming podcasts paired with my Gen 3 Prius with no problems. Even the music sounds really good.

did you check the "don't ask again" option when pairing?
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'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...
Galaxy Note 2 - Verizon
I noticed I am able to talk to text using the messaging and gtalk app just fine while at home with bluetooth turned on. However once in and paired to my 2012 Toyota Highlander I am no longer able to talk to text in those applications unless I turn bluetooth off. Google Now is unaffected at all.
Anyone else notice this bug?
Thanks.

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

I hear you there, I'm not constantly jumping back and forth between the two, so for now it works, just gotta change it when I want to stream.

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?
Between this and the other problem with the music player auto starting, my enjoyment of my note 2 while in my car is severely limited.
No movement but something needs to happen as this is really annoying.

Music app automatically plays once I get into the car and BT is connected. Also BT keeps asking me every time I get into the car if I want to share the contacts although I have disabled contact sharing with the car when I have done the pairing. Two very silly and annoying issues. Is there any fix?
Does that to me too, I am gonna try disabling Google music, or make Spotify preset music app. Then report back

Contact sharing is a constant request across multiple phones and multiple Bluetooth devices I have had before. This problem is at least a few years old to me so I suspect it is an Android issue. Seems to be dependent on what Bluetooth device you connect it to.
Music automatically playing I suspect is the same - Bluetooth device dependent. I vaguely remember this happening before but it's certainly not as common to me as the contact sharing problem.

I'm fed up of both and can't find a solution. I have already had my car set to not import contacts however every single time BT connects, phone asks to share contacts and I have to press no. Also it picks up ab audio file from the phone and plays it. Annoying and ridiculous.
