I have just rooted my optus i9305 4G and now it seems I cant play music through my car stereo using bluetooth, which was working fine before I rooted it.
The only other things I have done after rooting is install adfree and System Tuner (and removed the samsung chat app).
It is paired and connecting to the car stereo. I have enabled headset and bluetooth speakers in the settings and made sure the bluetooth volume is turned up when playing. Both the phone and the car stereo show bluetooth as connected but there is no sound and the car stereo buttons (play, ff, rw etc) dont work. Previously they did.
Any ideas on what to do about this?
Thanks!

Just had to share a surprising and accidental solution that occured. I have a TMOUS HD2 with the 3.14 ROM update and CHT 2.0.
I recently purchased a Monster ClarityHD bluetooth speaker so I could wirelessly stream music from my phone. After pairing it, the streaming and sound were quite impressive. After I turned off the speaker I noticed that the phone detected it but only as a headset and not stereo audio (as indicated by the icon on top, i.e., headset with bluetooth logo vs. headphones with music note). I had to go into the Comm Manager everytime to update the pairing so the A2DP would turn on.
I searched all over (including here) for an A2DP switch/toggle app but never found one that worked fo me. After talking to both T-Mobile and HTC tech support to no avail, I happened to reset my phone while it was paired with A2DP on, the bluettoh speaker speaker was on, and bluetooth discoverable was on (bluetooth logo with eye on top). After it rebooted it found the speaker and turned on stereo audio automatically.
I can't explain it but it's exactly what I was looking for it to do. If you try this I hope it works for you too.
Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..
I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\
the latest version of Google maps got rid of navigation volume and uses media volume. I restored an earlier version.
First off I have this mount. My Rezound is Stock. I can stream music through a cable but not voice calls. I cannot get the Bluetooth to work while it is in the dock. I can tell it to send it to BT but no sound comes through. I would really like to get Voice to come through my car speakers but I can't find any settings.
You said you've tried headphone jack plugged into car stereo via cable? Works fine for me using the same dock , stock and rommed, both before and after i uninstalled the dock program that was annoying. Has on all 3 of my android phones, usually with no dock. Have music or podcasts going, call comes in, shoots right through stereo. Bluetooth may be funky depending on how its setup with the car, stereo, or other device.
If a cable is not working, i'm baffled. Your stereo would need to be set to the "aux" input of coarse, and the cable plugged into to stereo/phone.
But how about the BT setup, what are you using for that?
That dock should have no impact on your BT connection. When you connect to your BT device, go into Settings, Wireless & Networks, Bluetooth Settings, find your device down at the bottom you're connecting to, hard press on it and select Options..., make sure both phone and media are checked under Profiles.
Yeah, for Bluetooth music streaming in my car I also had to tell my car to connect portable music player. Then I got the music working through my stereo in addition to the phone calls.

I got a rig that lets me connect my phone via bluetooth to my stock stereo in the car. Slight problem. No phone audio. Media only.
Alas I need to talk too. So I connect my iclarity speaker. This works great after I turn off media audio on the iclarity I get music to the car bluetooth and phone audio to the iclarity.
Problem. I have to manually do this every single time. Because the iclarity takes both phone and media audio links when it connects.
Is there an app that will let me assign profiles to bluetooth devices so I can limit my iclarity to phone audio only permiting my car adapter to take media audio so I dont have to do it manually each time?
Does anyone know of a way or even an App that will route audio from separate source on the device to different outputs? For exampe, when i have my S4 in the car dock, I'd like to have phone audio get routed to my Bluetooth headset and any other audio like Pandora or GPS directions to go to the car speakers?
thanks
You should be able to go into bluetooth just press and hold the bluetooth to ogle and it will take you there you should be able to hit your paired devices each time you push each one it will change your audio output to each paired device. I do it every day with mine, I use headset for phone and wireless headphones for media I.e music Netflix Pandora etc etc
