I updated my phone to the new Jellybean, and everything works great except for one issue, which is a major one in my case:
I have an '11 Corolla with Bluetooth which has always worked great for me. It worked fine with my phone when it was on ICS. Everything came through the care stereo just fine. With JB, it works with some things, but not with everything like it did before. Phone calls still work fine, the stock music player works fine, and PowerAmp works fine. Problem is, that's the only things that still run through my car audio now. I listen to a lot of audio books on my commute to and from work. The app I have always used for this is Mort Player. Now, all I get when the bluetooth is on is silence. I have found this to be true with every other app I have tried as well. The music player in Motocast doesn't work. Google navigation doesn't work. I've also tried numerous other apps as well like Smart Audio Books, Akimbo, CoPilot, none of them work through the Bluetooth any more.
When I upgraded to JB, the only modifications I had made to the phone was rooting it, and I converted my Power Toggles app to a system app using Titanium so that I can use it as a one-touch switch for my GPS. However, before upgrading, I converted Power Toggles back to a standard app. So other than root, it was completely stock. I haven't found much useful information for this issue, probably because JB isn't widely installed on most RAZR's, but it is a little irritating. I've tried everything, including doing a complete factory reset, but it's always the same.
If I play another app while the stock music player or PowerAmp is playing, then the sound will come through mixed, but not on it's own. Another thing I noticed is that before, my stereo would just display a blank screen when something was playing, or "Pause" if nothing is playing, but now, it displays the name of the song that the stock player or PowerAmp is playing. If you pause it it on the phone, it continues to display the last song played. It only says "Pause" if you press the pause button on the car stereo.
Has anyone else had issues with their bluetooth audio with JB, or know of a fix for this issue?
EDIT: As an added note, I deleted the pairing from my car stereo before doing the factory reset, then re-paired the phone after the reset. Still the same result.
Same sort of issues
Well I could have tried to delve a little deep into this issue, as when ever i tried to pair my phone and send files to my fiance phone it would just not do anything and the issue of showing the same song that was last played shows up in on my sony ericsson blue tooth M600 as well.
But for now i am just complete stuck at the issue that i accidently pressed gsm band selection to USA or the gsm patch. which has caused my phone to just ignore the network completely now network is working.
I would suggest you should try to root and install safe strap 3.11 and then install a leaked jelly bean custom mod it might help but just check the details first and if you are not sure with any of the process let me know before trying. I had my share of issues so I can help you answer those before you try and make a mistake.
For now I am downloading unbrick and will see if i can get this phone to ICS and work again from there.
thanks
From my understanding, once you have upgraded to JB with the leaked OTA, you can't go back to ICS. I'm assuming that is because there has been an update to the bootloader. As a result, I'm hesitant to install any type of bootstrap because I'm not sure if the currently available ones (like Safe Strap) will be an issue and possibly brick my phone.

I havent seem to run in to anyone with this issue.
I pair my phone to my car stereo fine in the stock GB rom. Play music and talk on the phone endlessly.
But with any ICS version so far, even official. It causes reboots, randomly.
Am I the only one suffering from this?
Not the same, but something similar.
I can connect with my car stereo, have to do it twice (once for music streaming and once for handsfree). Once connected, i can stream music fine. Even the controls on my steering wheel work. When I receive a phone call sound is muted and i can talk fine as well.
After I hang up the phone, the music doesn't come back, only a 0.5 second stutter every 2-3 seconds. On my phone, in the music player I can see that it's my phone that has the problem; the visualisation displays exactly how i hear the sound.
This behaviour also occurs when I turn off my car and turn it on again.. there doesn't seem to be a single thing that i can do to get music to play again, just some fiddling usually gets it to work (but then i have to stop my car first before i can have music..)
If anyone has any ideas for troubleshooting let me know!
I honestly think ics has compatibility issues with certain bluetooth devices.
We can only hope they realize this and take measures to correct it.
Gingerbread is flawless.

Just a notice that this seems fixed for me now.
I've upgraded to the 4.0.4 Rom found here: Click!
Next to this i'm using the app "doubleTwist"
ICS talks a different language then gingerbread when it comes to A2DP, especially for the play/pause commands, which seem important to me..
A2DP issues
I find I have similar issue. I have a SONY bluetooth deck in my car and my phone will lock up and force restart mid song or mid phone call.
Anyone have any ideas apart from flashing that 4.0.4 Rom
I have just received a new S2 after breaking my old one. I need to know if this one needs to go back.
I stream all my music through my Sony car stereo via Bluetooth. Now since getting my new phone. After about 15 minutes of streaming my phone kind of restarts itself. I say kind of, as it doesn't ask for the sim password, but it does go back to the home screen with the music player completely shut down. I loose all BT connection between phone and stereo and I have to find the track i was previously listening to, as though i have opened the player for the first time that day.
When this happens I have no other apps running, and I know the music player has an auto switch off timer in its settings, but i have got this switched off.
I upgraded it to ICS straight away so never tested if this fault occurred whilst my new phone was on Gingerbread.
Is this an ICS fault or the phone? As I didn't get chance to upgrade to ICS before I broke my old phone. So cannot tell.
Hope someone can help.

Did you mean remove the current pairing i have with my stereo, and search for it again, and start a fresh. If so i will try that on my way to work in the morning and see if it makes a difference. Thank you

Thanks. I have the timeout set to never. Also how do you unpair a device on my S2 ? I am running ICS.
I have tried holding for a number on seconds but no menu comes up. plus the lower left button brings up no menu that offers to unpair.
I'm confused!!!
I have the same problem!
The model of my sony bluetooth car radio is mex-bt5700
The problem began when I began to install ics roms.
The restart is always each 22-23 minutes.
I have tried andyx rom, wanam and others...and always the same.
I have also tried lot of apps, google music, samsung player, player pro, poweramp...
The problem is that I have also bluetooth headset (sony bt-101) and I have no restart with it.
Only with Sony radio.
Hope somebody founds a solution because is very anoying and I wish to stay with ics...I love it!
Thanks!
Well i've tried all but one thing now. Unpairing, repairing, spitting, swearing, apart from stamping on it my last thought is i'm restoring factory settings and trying back on Gingerbread. Just to ensure it is not my phone, and it is ICS.
Once i've done this and tested it i will report back.
Hi Pope, did you have any luck? I am having the same problem with my Galaxy SII. I've tried factory resets, removing the MicroSD card, re-pairing the bluetooth, nothing helps.
I called my provider and they suggested it could've been a bad cell in the battery (been fine with previous Galaxies), or cooking the phone by having navi, music and data on (again, been fine with previous Galaxies).
They're sending me another phone tomorrow, I'll see if it does the same.
Fu..k this is the worst problem i am facing too, dam it why all the **** happens with android and not the iphone, this is when i get teased by how fu..ked android is by my friends when this happens infront of them.
I am fuming now, as it also only happens with my sony car stereo and not with my bluetooth headset ( philips ). Dam Dam, so shall I go back to dam SLOW GB just to solve this grap.
And why exactly after 30 minutes this ****y reboot happens with my sony car stereo when playing music over bluetooth
I am so angry now, as I am sure not many suffer from that problem so no solution will fix that
And for gods sake which controls the sound coming out of the device via bluetooth is it the kernel or the modem, AAHHHHHHHHHHH i am about to throw this mother f___cker out the fu____king window
Galaxy SII bluetooth crash
I also have the Galaxy S2, and also the Bluetooth streaming reboot issue. Seems to have started after the ICS upgrade. Every couple of songs the the track starts to glitch and I know the crash is coming. From my research it seems to commonly affect people streaming to Sony in-car systems. Hope there is a fix soon...:/
I have the very same problem! It started when I updated to ICS and it only happens with my Sony car stereo. Any solutions?
i seem to have fixed my problem, took the sony MEX back and bought a Alpine bluetooth stereo, its ran for over an hour now without a reboot,
if you want to keep the same stereo you need to upgrade to a custom 4.0.4 rom
paranoid android also works. but you will need PlayerPro Music Player to stream track details to the head unit.
So, I'm having a strange issue with my new Note that I can't quite determine where the root cause may be, or if it's a known issue.
If I register my Note with my car as both a phone and an audio device (how the Infiniti nav/stereo works) I can use the Note as a phone fine UNLESS I start an audio app, such as Pandora. Once a2dp audio starts the Note will no longer connect as a phone device, but it works fine for audio.
I had the phone paired with the stock ATT rom but only used it as a phone, so unfortunately, without a restore to stock, I can't tell if the problem exists with the stock rom.
I flashed to flappjaxxx's rom (which I love) the same day I setup the phone to run Pandora via Bluetooth and that's when I started seeing the problem.
I also see some random connect/reconnects that seem a bit more than usual.
So, I can't say there's a correlation, or if this is a known ICS beta issue or what, but I'm hoping it is and that it's not a design flaw
Way I see it it's either:
1. Flashing to any ICS beta rom has the problem, currently?
2. It's in flappjaxxx's build (doubtful)
3. It's user error...(possible )
4. It's an app issue (ie. Pandora is causing the problem?)
Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or insights? I've done some searching but haven't found this exact issue yet on any posts.
Thanks!
I have a Kenwood DNX9960 in my Avalanche. It connects also for phone and for streaming media. I can be streaming media from either the stock music player or an internet site like pandora or TuneIn and my calls will automatically come through. When the call ends it goes right back to streaming.
It autoconnects to both as long as my phone is in range when I turn on the kenwood. I did have an issue at first where it would not autoconnect. I deleted the pairing from both my phone and headunit. Then when I repaired I paid close attention to check any boxes to "Always" allow connection and I haven't had any issues since.
I understand the normal pairing process, I've had several phones before that worked fine prior to the Note. So, I'm thinking that it is probably a corrupt bluetooth db... I'm going to be reflashing to Flaps new rom and we'll see how that does
Is there a way to delete the pairing from the nav? I would try that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
There is. I've tried it all, on both sides of the pairing.
I've reflashed the phone to the B6 from FJ, still no joy. The pairing db was new (so no chance of corruption on the phone) and the pairing deleted on the device.
It seems to be a problem with the phone switching between a2dp and phone bt. When a call comes in (while playing say Pandora over bt) the audio cuts out and then the car shows "disconnected" and then "connection failed" if trying to reconnect to the Note as a phone (ie hitting the phone button in the car).
I'm hoping it's the current ICS build. Just have no way to really know. Hoping some other folks will have seen the same issue.
Going to run some tests with different audio sources and see if the behavior is the same.
Well things seem to be working now, for no obvious reason I'll have to assume that the reflash resolved the issue, I just can't tell for sure why it didn't work immediately after. I think it's due to deleting the old pairing on the car and not shutting down the vehicle.
Cheers.
BT connections
I have similar problem connecting to van audio system (vauxhall). After some experimentation it appears to be an ICS problem, if I reflash my note with gingerbread I have seamless connections for both audio and phone. As soon as I upgrade even with offical ICS bluetooth connections become problematic, I can pair but not autoconnect. Tried samsung and they just "fob off" with it's an incompatable device. Until a bug fix is issued it appears as though it's a choic of staying with gingerbread and have a working system or ICS and no handsfree.
Hello ladies and gents,
I've had the LG G3 for a while now, and I'm loving it, but last week something weird happened - music no longer plays through the bluetooth device. Instead it plays through the speaker of the G3. I haven't tried calls since then, but I HAVE:
Unpaired, and repaired the device
Paired a different BT device, audio still plays through phone speaker
Verified that the phone is set to play media over BT
Tried toggling phone and media options on the G3 while conected to the device
Tried toggling phone and media options while unconnected (but paired)
Tried pairing from the device side
Tried pairing from the phone side
Tried soft resetting the phone
Tried hard resetting the phone (battery yank)
The only thing I haven't tried doing is factory resetting the device, I just wanted to check if any of you had ideas before I do that.
Update: Factory reset did solve the problem, but a simpler solution would have been to uninstall the conflicting app (Cisco Jabber in my case).
Are you on stock or using a rom? If rooted and using a rom, which rom/kernel are you using? Using my backup of skydragon rom and his 2.9.4 kernel my bt plays all media through the earpiece.... Its also playing fine on my test rom I'm playing with. Could be the rom or kernel your using. If you're stock then It's possible its something else.
I'm running stock OS, I rooted and later unrooted it, but that was a while ago... It was about two weeks after the last Verizon OTA update I think.
In that case I'd try factory reset or even try downgrading to the previous firmware and see if that makes a difference.
Ugh... Embarrassing... Cisco Jabber is what breaks BT in my case. As soon as I run it, all BT starts malfunctioning. Factory reset gone to waste.
It was TeamSpeak for me. Too bad I needed that one.
So this is a little hard to explain.
***EDIT: ITS ANY APP THAT USES INTERNET FOR AUDIO THAT COMPLETELY STOPPED BLUETOOTH***
I tried to use youtube to play a song over bluetooth and it completely locked up the app and I had to force close ON THE NEW PHONE AND OLD PHONE
AND NOW IT JUST MADE THE PHONE RESTART BY ITS SELF
Is this a rom problem?
The other day i was trying to listen to some music using a cracked version of spotify that I've used for over a year with no problem. The audio randomly stopped working, so I tried to just use the stock music player because I was going to an area where I didnt have any service anyway. The stock music player wouldn't work. I made sure it was playing by looking at the seek bar and it would sometimes start at 0:01, then jump to 0:05 and so on but no audio was coming through. The only way to make system audio work again, is to completely restart the phone. I uninstalled spotify, and the problem never came back until I reinstalled spotify with a different version, hoping it'd fix the problem. It hasnt. So, I decided to use a different phone but the same model phone, rooted, with the same rom, and it did it again. ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHONE. I don't know what happened, but even on a clean flash, with no other apps installed, spotify kills my bluetooth and system audio.
What the hell is going on?
The android version is 4.4.2, and it's a stock rooted deodexed rom.
