I'm having some issues getting my L920 to connect to my car's bluetooth. It worked briefly the 1st time I connected it but since then fails to connect. I've reset my car's stereo to fully clear the pairings but I can't see how to delete the existing pairing set up on my handset.
Is there a way to do this?
Update: Worked it out, all done now.

Tap and hold on your existing pairing and a menu will popup. There, you will have the option to delete the pairing.

So my Jawbone Prime was connecting fine before I updated to ICS LPQ (was on GB LA4 before) and now it doesn't even show up on the devices list even when I try to re-pair or reset the headset.
I tried 2 different sets to no avail.
Anyone know of a solution?
Connects to A2DP BT Headset (Motorola) but only allows media audio to connect. Phone audio doesnt stick.
ICS has some compatibility issues with certain bluetooth devices.
GB my phone always paired with my car stereo and streamed music without any issues.
So far every ICS release, even official, has caused my phone to reboot after streaming music over BT for 10+ minutes.
Its pretty sad they dropped the ball here. GB worked fine, and they borked it.
Well I can connect my BT keyboard fine. I just tried my Motorola BT earphones which are A2DP and it connects but won't allow phone audio to go through the BT earphones. However Media does go through. At least it detects it.
It doesn't detect it at all on the Jawbone Prime (which is not A2DP).
Update:
I managed to connect my jawbone and actually have 2 phone calls on it. After that I had the phone in my pocket and when I checked maybe 15mins later it had frozen and I had to keep power pressed to shutdown/reboot.
It kind of matches Chakker3D's pattern of working then not working. It's like there's a memory leak in the bluetooth stack? maybe I'm just spitballing here.
What I know is that in GB whenever I deactivated BT it took a good 20-25secs. In ICS it's instant to turn off or on. In GB however there was 0 issues.
I just really hope Samsung addresses it. Or if we are lucky, a dev will rework a rom so this problem is gone.
But from what I can tell, very few are having this problem.

Another update:
Without any intervention on my part other than keeping on trying it finally discovered my BT headpiece. In fact it discovered both.
Now it's still not 100% perfect because it discovers it, connects and immediately disconnects. If I press a button on the headpiece while it connects then it stays connected and it hasn't restarted/locked the phone yet. I even connected my 2nd headset (another Prime) and it worked.
Keeping fingers crossed. Now I need to see what happens when I walk out of range and back in range.
I'm guessing the answer to my question is likely to setup a Tasker profile, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone know of a way to get Bluetooth on my OG to autoconnect to a device it's already paired to?
For example, when I get in my car and want to connect to my stereo, I turn on Bluetooth, then have to go to my paired devices and manually connect to the stereo. I'd much rather just turn on Bluetooth and have the phone autoconnect to the stereo.
I'll likely soon set up an NFC tag for my car, so I should be able to turn on Bluetooth and connect to the stereo with that, but wanted to know if there was another solution in the meantime.
Any ideas?

As long as I turn on Bluetooth before I start my car, mine auto-connects to my Hyundai Sonata just fine...

My phone auto connects to my car too. Even if I forget to turn it on before I start my car and toggle it on after the car has already started, they will find each other and auto connect. They do not connect instantly though (maybe the BT scan interval is a little bit longer). Maybe you just have to wait a bit?
I have Llama installed and have a profile setup so that when it disconnects from a known Wifi (leave home/work/etc.), the phone will turn on BT automatically and try to connect to the car. Another profile is set up so that once the BT does connect to the car, it will turn off Wifi on the phone and also turn up volume and vibrate "on".
Hmmm, thanks for the replies. I'm wondering if my issue is that I've only turned Bluetooth on after the car was running, not before. If anything, I'll just set up a Llama or Tasker profile. Thanks again!

Yeah, if I turn on bt after I start the car then it won't auto-connect.

Just a heads up to anyone interested. Tasker doesn't have an action to autoconnect to paired Bluetooth devices. However, there is an app available in the Play Store solely for this functionality:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5teWtsb3MuYnRhdXRvY29ubmVjdCJd
This app is also a Tasker plugin, so you can use it in conjunction with any Tasker profile. Good stuff.

I have a very similar issue. I have two bluetooth devices in my car. My handsfree system and a stereo adapter. The phone autoconnects to the handsfree system but I have to manually click on the stereo adapter every time to get it to connect. No ordering of on/off etc seems to alleviate this. Any ideas?

The app I mention above has an option to autoconnect to all paired devices. This might be what you're looking for.

Yea, already gave that a shot. Tried just the app, then tried a tasker profile that would try to connect to the A2DP device if the handsfree device was connected too. Neither worked. Gonna try another couple apps to see where it gets me; if not I'll just live with having to always click it in the settings menu until an AOSP rom comes along that I would be willing to run (not quite annoyed enough at the LG software to give up an SD card/8gigs and hardware keys)

Try this app. Have been using it for a long time now. I have the same problem as you. You can set it up to automatically connect to a second device ( your music adapter), right after it connects to the first one ( your car). There are also more useful settings there.

Hi all. Has anyone tried to pair with a car?
I'm trying to pair with a Kia Sorento. It's looks like it pairs OK and then shows connected but the car doesn't acknowledge that it is connected.
I'll continue to test but wanted to know if anyone else had success. I'll try with other bluetooth devices as well. Please post your experiences with Bluetooth.
Thanks for the ROM update and thanks for your responses.
Well, I've successfully paired and used several different bluetooth devices. Didn't think I had this many:
- bluetooth mouse
- bluetooth keyboard with built-in trackpad
- OBD II reader
- Music headset
I have a phone headset and my car. It looks like both of these pair but don't connect properly. The headset is for phone profile only. After pairing, clicking on it does nothing. Doesn't even try to pair. For my car, it pairs and I'm able to enter the pass-phrase/key but then it doesn't connect.
It looks like there is an issue connecting to devices that use the phone profile. When looking at the settings for the paired items, there is a profile for phone audio. It has a checkbox which is not checked and is disabled...cannot check it.
I'll post screen captures when I get a chance.
Thank you
It looks like the HFP (hands free protocol) is needed for using a headset on a mobile phone as in the case of a earpiece or to use a car as a hands free for a mobile phone as well.
It looks like Blues does not support HFP. There is mention of an oFono project that works with Blues to support HFP but no mention of Android support. I also found some mention of Blues adding that support. Maybe it's available and needs to be configured. Didn't dig too far into it and I'm not that familiar with these technologies.
Hopefully, one of the devs can follow up on this or another group has done it or figured out how to do it.
I'll keep looking and will post if/when I find anything.
FYI, Bluez just released a new version April 12th.
I found some configuration files in /system/etc/Bluetooth
The audio.conf file has several settings referring to headset and hfp. I tried some variations but no luck. Good news is that it looks like Bluez supports headset and hfp out of the box/built-in.
More testing needed.
I also read that after changing settings you will have to unpair and repair your device to pick up the change.
I wonder what the stock files have?
It looks like, ideally, there are other profiles that should be there to have a good experience. PBAP, phone book access protocol, is needed for transferring contacts, for example.
it fix on next release, but have reboot afte call =(

So my reboot after a call is related to bluetooth headset. Right?
Any ideas about overcoming this?
Okay, this issue is driving me a bit nuts. This phone seems to have a tendency to self delete bluetooth pairings randomly, such that I'll suddenly find I have to pair again a bluetooth device that I had working before. I know it's not the bluetooth device because this has happened on all sorts of things.... Get in car, no bluetooth connection, see pairing request on phone. Pebble watch suddenly won't connect anymore, look in bluetooth pairings list, no longer there. Worst is the Moto 360, because for some reason, Google decided that you cannot initiate a bluetooth pairing on Android Wear except by factory resetting the watch. So every few days, or weeks, depending on luck, I'd find myself having to factory reset my watch yet again, just to pair it back with my phone.
Just me? Anybody else with random bluetooth pairings deleted? I'm on the current 5.1 firmware.
I haven't used bluetooth much on this phone yet, so I don't know if this is device specific or a general problem. Anyway, my phone pairs with my car bluetooth dongle and works normally the first time, but when it's already paired it just won't connect, no matter what. It works again if I unpair it and pair it again, but that's not very convenient...
Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior and is there a fix for it?
Try clearing the system cache and a network reset.
Well, I don't know what happened or changed but today it just worked... Weird.
Ah, turns out with this phone, I just need to wait until the dongle is properly initialized before trying to connect, otherwise it just gives up and won't even try again.
With my old Huawei, I could do it straight away and it would connect when it's done...

Try in safe mode. May have a 3rd party app conflict.
Could also be a coincidence and the crappy dongle is giving up.
It's a cheap eBay bought one that renders an mp3 file on the fly so the car stereo can play it like normal flash storage. My wife's Xiaomi also had some issues connecting to it yesterday, and today as I was driving music stopped several times and the stereo said "USB format incompatible", then skipped to the next track and continued. I'm planning on installing an Aux input into the car soon so I can plug a better bluetooth receiver into that, so hopefully that'll solve the problem.
