Bluetooth in the car not working - Motorola Droid RAZR

After the ICS update I can no longer get my car to play music through BT on my Maxx.
After pairing to the car the phone and the car say no media. So I go to the config of BT on the phone and tell it manually to not allow phone or media. Then I add media only back and it no longer gives the errors for no media on the phone but still does on the car radio.
Nothing I have tried has gotten BT to play music in the car. Any ideas?!

Same here, works flawless in my Auris HSD. Even on custom Roms there's no problem.

Major bummer. Glad it is working for you guys at least. I have to figure this out. Might just have to reload the phone.

Mine has only half worked since I got it. My Droid Charge worked flawlessly and I attributed it to Bluetooth 3 with my Evo Look car system. Dunno for sure, though.

I tried with my reg Razr, OG Droid, SGS3, and Thunderbolt with no problems at all. Just the Maxx doesn't...

Question.
Navigation commands can only be felt on car speakers, car stereo pausing.

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.

Every single time! It was annoying. Specially when increase or decreasing the volume. Im using an a2dp bluetooth headset. And reconnecting it, is a pain! Need to unpair n pair it over n over n over again

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

My Plantronics 220 earpiece works great. My Moto Stereo BT Headphones work flawless unless if I am listing to Pandora and i get a phone call, I can answer but when they hangup, BT disconects. I have to shut down Pandora, thur headphones off/on, then go back to what I was doing? I just THOUGHT it was Pandora?
EDIT: I have Moto S305!

Bluetooth Michael Not Picking Up With Assistant Type Apps

I can't seem to make my razr use the Bluetooths microphone when talking to personal assistant apps like vlingo or skyvi. The audio works great however, but I can't get it to stop using the phones mic. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it only uses the Bluetooth mic for phone calls.

That is stupid. After 18 years bluetooth still sucks in all directions.

+1 for finding a way to change the mic. I would like to be able to use my Bluetooth mic for the voice typing in ICS. And having the assistant use it too would be nice. Plus I like the Google Voice search app MUCH better than the default Bluetooth voice actions app.

You'd think that with the multitude of talented devs we have here, and the benefits that would be had from all android devices, this issue could be resolved with a mod in no time. I'm willing to throw a donation a devs way for this.

Yea I have that problem sometimes. What I found out myself was that if you play some music in phone mode without the lapdock connected, pause the music, connect the lapdock, and then play the music again it should sound correct.
It's best not to start the music app at all until you're fully connected to the lap dock.

bluetooth headset that works with Google Now

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 blue ant T 1 seems to be working
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.
I have actually used my Xbox 360 wireless headset. The one with Bluetooth and it works exceptionally well..

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.

Bluetooth Audio Volume

With my phone connected to my car stereo via bluetooth, the volume seems considerably low compared to my rezound, which was even lower than my thunderbolt. Phone and deck are both maxed out.
Tried various EQ apps, not much difference..
On stock rom, not rooted.
Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Are you on the OTA update?
My Bluetooth headset has very low volume which has been reported by others. I was hoping this was fixed in the OTA.
Yes im on update.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
You're not the only one. I've spent most of my time in the Android Central forums and same issue reported there as well. Update seems to have improved connecting but quality hasn't changed much. Personally speaking my Plantronics Voyager worked great on my Samsung Fascinate but on the DNA ... well let's just say a toaster would do a better job with audio.
What Bluetooth software is in your car? I believe the droid DNA uses 4.0 and updating your Bluetooth software in your car via usb might help ya

Can't say I've had the same problem with Korean car head units, Ford Sync units, LG HBS 700 headphones, and an older Jawbone Prime. All have worked fine, and in the case of the LG headphones, I have to operate them both at significantly lower than full volume on both.

Not sure. Its a new pioneer AVH-P2400BT. Looked on pioneer site, theres a firmware update but says only needed if u have a iphone.

Are any of the custom roms better with this issue?

No.
I've tried replacing the HTC BT drivers with both stock drivers and CAF drivers and neither made any difference that I could tell.
Dsb9938 pulled an alternative user space stack from somewhere and that didn't change anything for me either.
