While the ford sync is obnoxiously buggy, I haven't had any problem with bluetooth music with my note or my brother's SG3. I do find it annoying having to back out and re look at the entertainment menu to see the phone as an option.

No problems here either. I have a 2011 Limited Escape. I'm not sure what version of SYNC software is running because there's not a whole lot of navigation I can do in its menus/interfaces.
I'm not sure how I can get the text message functionality working but apart from that, everything works for me. What problems are you having?

Basically I can only play audio through Bluetooth for a little over 30 minutes at a time before the phone freezes and reboots. When I use cm9 it has never restarted.

Ford tech here, try a master reset (disconnect the battery for five minutes or pull the apim fuse), delete and repair phone.

No issues here... Stock ICS 2011 GT 5.0 and using Ford Sync-
Reverted back from JB too many issues...:good:

Thanks for the replies, I tried a master reset through the sync dashboard and it still froze up after a half hour of music through the phone. Would pulling the fuse be any different? Thanks again!

Tried a master reset and it still froze up and rebooted on me. Should I try installing the odexed version of the stock ICS Rom? I don't understand why my Bluetooth world work flawlessly on cm9 but not stock. Thanks again

Yes, the master reset through SYNC is more like a soft reset, disconnecting the battery or pulling the fuse will restore her back to stock. keep in mind after the fuse pull, itll a take a couple of minutes before she responds. just curious what kind of sync/car?

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

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!

after ICS install bluetooth audio (Pandora) in car not working

Hello,
After installing ICS rom, my pandora bluetooth in all my cars is not working. it keeps pausing.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I don't have this issue. How did you get to ICS? One click odin exe?
I installed it through cwm
Does anyone have a fix?
I've had this issue a couple times with gb ROMs.
This sounds crazy, but after un pairing and repairing a couple times I was finally able to get it working by starting the Google Music app. Strangely enough, I was able to do this a couple more times after flashing other ROMs without needing to repair the device.

My regular phone Bluetooth in my car has been unreliable since ICS. It will be fixed in time so I'm not really worried about it.

So others are having the problem also

Headphones issue.

Hey.
I currently have an issue where headphones aren't detected. A reboot won't fix it and neither will reinserting.
On checkrom 3.5 siyah kernel and loudness mod.
A nandroid restore to checkRom 2 fixes it for a little while but eventually it comes back.
Anyone else?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Are you sure it's a software-related issue and not a hardware-fault due to a broken microswitch in the jack?
Positive due to fact that after the nandroid restore it instantly works. Even unplugging and plugging in multiple times works every time until eventually it just stops...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I had that problem when I updated to the new firmware, but I unplug the headphones and put them back no problems, did you try a hard rest ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
What's a hard reset? Power down fully then power on? If so, yes. Thank you.
It's a strange problem.... leaving me to nandroid restore every few days.

Could be the loudness mod.
Had the same issue and thought my headphone jack was damaged. Can't remember which version I used but after copying my original file back I have not had any issues since.
Hope this helps.

Horrible Bluetooth Range

I did search didnt see it addressed so figured id see if anyone else has issues with Bluetooth. Ive tried my bluetooth headphones and speakers with 2 other phones and my tablets and have no issues. With my note im lucky if i can get more than 5 ft of range before it starts breaking up. Im currently running bigfau blackstar rom. Tried stock and cm10 jb but none made any difference in bluetooth. Also tried without my case still no change. Thank you for any input

I use my bt all day, every day for both phone and music and haven't noticed any difference between rooms, and I've tried a bunch.
That's strange. I have a set of Beats Wireless BT headphones.
I can be quite far from the phone with them still working fine. I've tried on all the ROMs I've tried; mainly CM9, PA (earlier), AOKP, etc.
Just for giggles, remove a case if you're using one and see if it improves. A TPU or plastic type case shouldn't matter, but just isolate it as a problem.
I use BT Tether between my phone and tablet reliably 5+ feet away, and my BT GPS works for at least 5 feet (and that's about norm for how far it goes; small antenna on its side), so all seems about on par to what I'm personally used to.

Anyone else's DNA freezing, rebooting?

I've had the DNA since 11/21 and I'm surprised more people are not complaining about the phone freezing up and rebooting?
I saw the other post about DNA problems and he mentioned Chrome causing the problem. My DNS froze running Chrome as well so I uninstalled that but it still freezes up when I am in the Mail and Gmail application. It does not happen with a certain action in any application so I am not sure why it keeps freezing up and then rebooting.
I do not have a lot of apps but I am using UCCW, Simi Battery Widget, and Android Pro Widgets on my homescreens. Other than those widgets I pretty much only use the Internet browser, camera, phone, Play Music, and Facebook.
Is anyone else having the same problem with their DNS randomly freezing and rebooting?
I don't think it's a phone issue, but more of an app issue? Remember not all apps are truly compatible with this phone as of yet. Sure, you might be able to download the app you want, but it may not play nice with this new device. I say start fresh, do a factory reset, and add apps all over again. I tend to stay away from apps like UCCW, BW, and so on as I think those are not really ready for this phone. Of course I could be wrong though?
If the problem occurs after the factory reset, I say exchange it for a new one, and hope it's a good phone.
Good Luck!
I discovered the same thing yesterday but luckily I was able to duplicate back to Any.DO. So I just step carefully around the app where it works.
I am using Power Widget and Beautiful Widgets on my home screen with no issues so far.
I would take the previous posters recommendations.

I guess it's just me then. Thanks for the replies.
I just thought it was weird because I really don't run that many apps and like minimal style homescreens. I had the Galaxy Nexus and used to run all different types of ROMs (CM10, AOKP, Jelly Belly, Paranoid Android, etc.) (4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2) and I never had an issue with that phone freezing up like the DNA.
No problem here

I have two DNA's, picked them up on 11/21. As of yet neither have had any issues, even the batteries have performed better than expected. I actually ditched the razr maxx hd. Maybe its a manufacturer issue, exchanging it shouldn't be an issue.

I saw the demo at the Verizon store randomly reboot for no apparent reason. This was early on the day it was released, and I don't think they had added any apps yet. I clenched my teeth and bought it anyway. So far, so good.

if you are rooted, you can delete system apps using titanium, root explorer, etc, etc.
Personally, if a brand new phone is having reboots after a hard reset, it would be getting exchanged.

Why did you ditch the RAZR?
I am considering the DNA or the Razr as my next unit.
i have been dealing w/the reboots and freezing now more and more each day. sucks i'm not sure wats causing this to happen.i'm rooted and still on stock jellybean..could it be a kernel or something cause this really didnt start to happend til i changed kernels.
the only i noticed is a few of my apps were not compatible. some apps will run until i select a certain action then fc. some apps start but then shut right down. these apps just arent for the dna yet its ok delete and repeat lol
99% chance Its your kernel. The guys are doing a great job with the new kernels, but only one has been truly stable. DSB's first kernel is the only stable one I am aware of (aside from stock). I am currently on his 1.2.5 and it seems stable, but not 100% sure just yet.
