I have been searching around and can't seem to find anyone else that has had this issue....I installed a new stereo in my truck that has Bluetooth and my phone connects fine but when I stream music from my phone the rear speakers don't work. I have checked all the Radio settings and everything on my phone but I don't see any settings for something like that. I am on flapjaxx's ICS IMM76D UCLE2 BASE rom. Any help would be appreciated.

not every bt car audio system has the ability to stream music, just because you can make phone calls through it..
does the owners manual say that you can stream music from any android phone through it?
you might want to contact them and ask them directly
Yes, I actually bought it for the android streaming ability. I figured it has to be my phone since I can not make it do that any other time. Just curious if anyone else has had an issue like this.

Ya could try to/mess around with your radio settings while streaming. Surround sound options etc that might help. Also download a good music player for your phone with a lot of optimization ability. I use power amp pro in my 11 Kia sorento with no issues

my stereo has an option to send bt audio to front or all check your bt settings of your deck again
I've had the Note (AT&T) since not too long after it hit the market with AT&T. The Gingerbread release worked quite well, but I had heard "great things" about ICS. The day that ICS became available, I loaded it and was ready to be seriously impressed.
Instead, I'm quite let down. The additional "bloat" put into ICS to provide some changes to TOUCHWIZ are simply not worth it to me. What's worse the Bluetooth stuff has been changed enough, and in certain ways, to make it problematic for me now.
I have a vehicle with an integrated Bluetooth system. My phone is always paired when I'm in it, and I never make use of the audio profile for playing music through the stereo (but it's connected anyway). Under 2.3 / Gingerbread, everything worked fine. With the 4.0.4 / ICS software, audible notifications while paired to the system sound "choppy" (can't think of another way to describe it). The sounds stutters when the phone is attempting to notify me of, say, an incoming email message.
When the phone is not paired to anything, the notifications are fine.
I had an opportunity today to pair the handset to a completely different device and find that the issue follows it. It is absolutely not a hardware problem because it worked fine with GB. The issue is also not my vehicle because, again, it worked fine when the phone was running GB.
What I learned today, with the new BT device, is that the phone is actually attempting to provide the audible alert through BOTH the phone's speaker AND the audio profile / BT. On the device I had paired today, the sound through the speaker is the same sort of choppy notification it has been, but the sound through BT seems smooth.
There are no settings in the BT area to tell the phone to not use Bluetooth for audio. Does anyone know about this issue? More importantly, does anyone have a fix?
I too have that issue. Maybe a développé une ould look into this.

I use both the audio and phone BT profiles on my car stereo. It took me a very long time to enable audio. I have no clue what worked. I do know that you can see what is enabled by tapping the gear icon next to the paired item in the paired item list.

The problem isn't in getting both working... The issue is HOW the phone works when both are enabled. There's almost certainly a bug in the ICS code that needs to be corrected.

My mistake. I shouldn't have mentioned my troubles. They masked the fact that I mentioned how to disable individual profiles by tapping the gear. You can uncheck audio there.

Yep. That works to correct the problematic issue of "it sounds funny when both are enabled", but it emphasizes the fact that there's an issue with the way that Samsung's ICS for the AT&T Note treats the Media audio profile whether it's active or not...
Hi guys, first post here on the forums. I have a question/request for something that bugs the hell out of me.
I own one of the iBolt car docks for my s3 4g; it's great and works well (provided I uses a custom kernel like Perseus), my issue is that although the custom kernels can properly detect the dock and route media audio through the aux out, none of them seem to be able to route my call audio through the aux-out and still have the microphone working.
I'm currently using Ripper Rom V9 with the perseus kernel, when I go to place a call it automatically puts the phone on 'speakerphone' and still detects my voice through the inbuilt microphone but I would much prefer for it to come through the aux-out, is this possible with modification of the kernel? This would be very useful for many people I would imagine, it is very hard to hear the other persons voice through speakerphone while my phone is docked up on the dash and I'm driving along. I read somewhere that samsung by default don't allow such configuration, I think it may have been on an audio-redirector app but it only redirected system and media audio.
Any information would be greatly appreciated :good:

Hey guys, I just replaced a Sony deck with the Smart and I LOVE it so far. It's taking some tweaking to get it how I want it, and to get it to do what I want it to do and why I chose it over Appradio. I have it rooted, and I've got the Play Store working great. The lack of a volume knob is a drag, but I'm hoping to fix that with PullOpenSettings. I have 3 unsolved issues so far:
**1. The Sony deck it replaced had separate HPF/LPF so that it could ensure that only bass went to the subs, and I was also able to remove most of the bass that went to my regular speakers since they don't really handle bass at the volumes I listen to. I see that I can set the crossover frequency for the subs and that's great, but is there an app that will allow me to adjust the bass to the speakers without affecting the sub? I've searched high and low and I've yet to find one.
**2. I cannot get my Bluetooth ELM OBD adapter to pair. I read in an Amazon review that "All I had to do was install the Bluetooth apk and it worked perfectly" I'm not sure what 'Bluetooth apk' he's referring to, but I'd sure like to know!
**3. Lastly, why can't I get this to Bluetooth tether to my Nexus 4 running CM 10.1? Yes, I have Bluetooth tethering enabled in the phone and in the head unit, and dual-mode is off. If you look at each other's profiles on the other, there's Phone Audio and Media Audio, but no profile for PAN. I'd read somewhere that installing Open Garden Wifi Tether would fix this. I didn't see how it could, but I sideloaded it to my phone and of course it didn't work. I just can't figure out how to give the deck PAN.
***Any Help with any of these would be appreciated!! Thank you!
Hello everyone, I am coming from a Moto X Pure which was able to read out my text messages and allow me to respond while in my vehicle driving. Not sure if it was a Moto specific capability or if Google Assistant was performing that function, or a combination of both. I do know that under Moto Voice I did have the Talk to me option enabled which says it will read aloud texts and phone calls. Doesn't say anything about me responding to messages, but that's where I think it could have been a combination of Moto and Google getting the job done.
Does the S9+ support anything like this, and if not, are there any options such as Android Auto that would work similarly? My vehicle isn't Android Auto enabled, but I think the app can work on it's own. I should add that when I say read my messages to me and allow me to respond, it's when I am listening to the radio and not streaming music via bluetooth. My Moto would interrupt and say I had a message from "XXXXX" and ask if I wanted to hear it. It would then ask if I would like to respond.
Lastly, I have a 2017 Subaru Forester Premium if that matters. Thanks as always for any help as I am a S9+ noob currently.
On my phone, the Samsung "Car Mode" app does this.
You may wish to search the Galaxy Apps store, locate and install "Car Mode", and see if it works for you too.

I installed it and I'll see if it works. So this will interrupt your radio listening and read to you the incoming message? Does it automatically enable when you are driving or do you have to enable it manually each time? Thanks.
Don't know about the "interrupt your radio listening" part.
On my vehicle, unless you've selected the BlueTooth source on the car's audio system, you will not hear anything from the phone other than from the speaker of the phone itself.
Maybe your car is different.
In my car, when using the phone's BlueTooth as the audio-source, it will notify (if configured to do so) of incoming messages - and allow for voice-driven responses as well.
It does have the ability to automatically enable the phone's car-mode when the BlueTooth connection is (re)established.

I was using Android Auto the other day and it would interrupt and let me know that I had an incoming message from "xxxxxx", but it wouldn't actually read the message. I think my Moto X Pure had a capability built in to perform the action I am looking for. Not sure I am going to be able to get that with my new Samsung. I gonna try out the app you recommended today and see what happens. Hopefully I will find someway to make it work again.

It's a no go, car mode does absolutely nothing when connected to my cars bluetooth. Doesn't read out messages at all, not even when I change from radio listening to bluetooth streaming. This is extremely disappointing in a phone that costs this much and is running the latest Android OS. It seems Samsung just isn't useful for interfacing with car head units. My Motorola did this amazingly well. If someone has some insight on how to make this work, please fill me in. Why can't Android just work properly across all mobile platforms? It's kind of ridiculous and very annoying. Samsung makes a beautiful device but it seems less capable for hands free operation than all the Motorola phones I have had. Please help, this is a big deal for me.

Are there any specific settings that you have to enable? So when a message comes in it automatically reads it through your cars speakers and then allows you to respond with a message using voice only, no touching of the device whatsoever? For me it's odd, the Car Mode works when I'm not connected to my cars BT. It plays the message through my phones speakers and I can respond, but in my car it's useless. I can't hear it through my head unit.

If you can hear Car Mode working from your phone speaker, and not from your car's audio system, I would suggest troubleshooting the Bluetooth audio connection first.
Play some audio on your phone while connected to the car's Bluetooth connection. If you can't hear that, then Car Mode isn't going to be heard either.
Perhaps checking the phone's Bluetooth connection media-volume setting might be in order.

I should have mentioned streaming music works just fine and I've made sure the volumes were all up. It's weird but it doesn't seem to work with my car. I could hear the little ding prompt but when car mode was saying something I heard nothing. I downloaded Read Texts 2 Me and it works perfectly. Interrupts the radio when a text comes in and reads it to me. Also works perfectly while I'm listening to streaming music over Bluetooth. I think it's going to be my fix, android auto and Samsung car mode just aren't working for me. Maybe I'm missing something but it shouldn't be this difficult. It wasn't on my Moto.

The only other thing that comes to mind is checking the Bluetooth connection properties.
While connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth:
Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth
Tap the "cog" icon next to the connection for your vehicle.
Under the "Use For" section, are all of the options turned on?
As long as you've found what works for you, I guess you're good.
On my 5-year-old Ford, with Sync-2, Car Mode works without issue.
