I have noticed when i pair my SG3 with my Nissan Maxima, it pairs easily... but sometimes it just disconnects from the car.
After i turn off the car and restart it, the BT does not re-connect. Anyone else experience that? Are their any fixes?
The BT options have selections for Phone and audio (i am assuming for Pandora, etc)
i have only had it stream audio once playing a movie and it only kicked in after about 2 minutes.

I have this w/ my bluetooth when dialing, i have to tell it to repair. Not sure how to sync w/ bluetooth audio for Pandor or what not. I have a 2012 Murano. Is it an additional option?
i use a panasonic link2cell cordless phone and it does not autoconnect when i get home and come into range or turn on bluetooth.
that's my biggest complaint about the phone. My old captivate worked great it autoconnected as soon as i turned on blutooth or came into range. S3 requires i go into the settings for the device and manually connect. Not sure why they made it take 4 extra steps to do such a simple task and i hope they fix it soon.

I gather you are satisfied with your Panasonic. I purchased one last month...sound was poor for me. When I was on the phone with a friend he complained about how terrible I sounded over the phone.
I was disappointed that I had to return it.

yea i've had it for over a year and been really happy with it. I've only noticed poor SQ if i take the cell too far away from the base. I pretty much just plug my cell into a charger and leave it right next to the base station for the cordless because the range for BT isn't that great.
I also use an obi100 with google voice on the same cordless and have found that the L2C has better SQ than the obi/GV.
I pretty much make/answer all calls over the L2C and hardly use the obi/GV really. Just make sure you leave the cell near the L2C base.
Still off topic...

Hmmm...maybe that was myk problem. While I didn't have it next to the base, I did keep it across the room, about 12' away.

probably. Every once in a while i will forget and leave cell in my pocket or something and walk too far away from the base station and then the SQ sucks... gets all scratchy.

i used chat to find out how to make it automatically connect and go into the 'call audio profile' and this is what they said
"I am to inform you that, Galaxy S3 is designed with security purpose all in built in features are different compared with other devices this always seeks the permission of the user to access any thing it is designed with all business purpose features this is the reason that there is no built in feature to connect the device even it is paired."
lol
I also tried phone support and that guy tried to say it was because of the NFC lol.. when i called him out on that he basically said he didnt know but he 'escalated' my concern and i could try calling back in a couple of days to see if there was a work around.
I just want it to connect and use bluetooth device automatically after the intial pairing... S1 did it and so should the s3.
I know some of that security talk is true but I thought that was for a enterprise version of gs3 to be later released

I also have a Nissan Maxima and experienced the same problem with connect/reconnect as well as issues with bluetooth streaming music. With the latest OTA update that was released last week by AT&T for the GS3, mine is working with no issues. It connects as expected, bluetooth audio streaming now works reliably, and the added the Bluetooth AVRCP profile which enables your car deck to display track, artist, and album info on the display. Sweet!

Whoa! Cool. I'll have to try that.
Now if we could only use the Voice (whethter Google Voice search or S), while hooked to a car BT, that would be even better.

i have the same prob sometimes i have audio sometimes i dont and i went from jellybam to stock and back to jellybam and still the problem is still there please help me
I know it's gonna sound weird but it might be your charging port.....now bear with me as I explain because Gf had same issue and now it's gone....in order to test to see if it IS the port do this...
Remove the upper rear panel to expose the dark clear panel underneath
Remove the dark plastic panel if at all possible to get to the usb port.
Now if you have an intermittent audio issue like my Gf did, call your phone and have it start ringing, now push down on the metal usb port. If it's the usb port shorting out etc, it should stop playing audio and it'll make a little static noise.
The way I fixed my Gf phone was to bend the port ever so slightly...be careful because it IS fragile...and it's bent away just enough to prevent any more audio cutting out and such...
I know it might be confusing to some...but hopefully it's clear enough for the more handy users and explains what might causing the audio issue...I just happened to used to repair phones and have the tools and assembly/disassembly knowledge...good luck and let me know if this helps anyone...

Alright, so I recently decided to upgrade my AT&T HTC ONE X+'s firmware to the latest 1.19.502.1 update. Ever since I got this phone, I've never really been 100% happy with it, so as soon as I saw an official update being rolled out I jumped at the chance! I re-flashed the original recovery, re-locked the bootloader and ran the HTC RUU pc executable, effectively putting my phone in a 100% stock state and fully updated.
So far I can say that the phone experiences less general app crashes than before. The Bluetooth Call audio quality issue is 100% fixed. It would also seem like the Google contacts syncing issue is gone too. AT&T Address Book app now works (I don't like it, I don't actively use it, but at least now it's a functioning app). And Power management & Battery life seemed to have improved ever so slightly.
On the other hand, the phone does seem a bit slower (apps take longer to load, some phone functions take a little bit longer to react, stuff like that). The distorted streaming via Bluetooth (A2DP) bug (not the same issue as the call audio) is still un-addressed. I've always experienced random Bluetooth connection interruptions, and with the update this hasn't changed. Another thing I was hopeful they would fix with the update and they didn't is the Automatic Time Zone option in the Date & Time settings menu (It will often not recognize my time zone - GMT -4:00 - forcing me to set it manually... no big deal, but still a bug none the less). There were no GUI/UI changes or improvements whatsoever. Also, I like to use Nova Launcher Prime, and for whatever reason I've found myself pressing the "back" button to exit some apps and it would return me to the Sense home instead of the Nova Launcher home (which is set as my default launcher). That last one is no big deal, but thought I should mention it just in case.
What about you guys? What has been your experience with it? Did you update OTA or through the RUU? Share your experiences here!
the only thing i needed from the update was fixing BT A2DP audio. Like you said, it is still broken. Highly disappointed. Hopefully a ROM will fix it soon.
The update broke a bunch of apps for me. Chrome, Google Search, and Google Drive no longer work, they crash on startup.
Other people have similar complaints, here: forums.att.com/t5/Android-Discussion-and-Support/HTC-One-X-update/td-p/3469653
This is a stock phone. So far the phone is pretty unusable without those apps.
Really annoying. AT&T hasn't said anything about it yet. Maybe I should contact HTC directly?

You can try to contact HTC directly, but from what I've read around in the forums, they aren't much help. Allow me to suggest you try running the RUU on your phone (you can download it from http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=529&p_name=htc-one-x-plus-att ). It'll fully wipe it, so make a backup of all your important stuff (contacts if they aren't cloud synced, pictures, Angry Birds scores, etc) and then run the RUU. After the initial setup, re-download/install all your main apps and see how that goes. If you do get to do this, please post here if there was a difference in your phone's behavior. (Hope that helps)
I really honestly haven't had any issues with my phone since the OTA update... I still lag on playing a simple 2D game Drag Racing" but runs butter smooth when playing 3D games.. WTH?.. Really annoying to me... but then again, it lags even when I'm using my Nexus 7, yet runs lag-free and smooth on my Pantech Burst? Explain that one.. lol..
But all in all I've noticed a lot of small enhancements with the update. Now if they can just fix the game play of Drag Racing app.. lol..
I haven't noticed anything significant either way. If I didn't do the update myself, I don't think I would know there had been one. I do have to say that I never experienced problems playing music over BT, and I use it in my car, at home, and with BT earbuds. Maybe it's because I'm using PowerAmp.

The problem is still there with poweramp. It is a bitpool setting for connection between the phone and BT speaker devices. Some people just don't hear it even though it is there. I have a few friends who are now on JB thanks to recent updates and they have the same issues but they don't seem to hear it. I can hear it plainly though. One of them I could get to hear it but he doesn't care and thinks it sounds good enough for him.

Well, I haven't tried that particular game, but try this and let me know if it works for you. Go to Settings\Developer Options\Advanced\Force GPU Rendering, and turn it on.
Disappointing feedback. I work from home and have a Plantronics Savi 700 series headset. My HOX+ is connected to the Savi via Bluetooth, and if I make/receive a call on my HOX+ the call skips/distorts for the first 5 seconds or so before stabilising. Is that a known issue?
EDIT: to clarify, I am not using the headset when making/receiving the call in my example.. it's merely just connected via Bluetooth at the time I use my cell phone.

That hasn't been my experience receiving calls (although making them, the first ring does sound louder and coarser than the rest) but there have been some posts here on the forum from people describing a similar issue (since way before the update). Apparently it's either an inconsistent issue, a bug that only affected a few handsets, or an accessory hardware specific issue (eg. compatibility issue with specific bluetooth devices).

When u say BT audio A2DP that to ke means audio controls over BT. Well this has always worked from the start for me on stock and now custom roms. Now if I use a "wired" headset then no, audio controls do not work. All I can do is deal with phone calls and play/pause music. Cannot turn volume up or down or change tracks while using a wired headset. This from my understanding is a "hardware" issue. Now as far as actual BT is concerned, every aspect has worked perfect for me since Steve007 has fixed it for us. Also it has been claimed the new ATT update fixes this BT audio quality issue to an even higher degree than what Steve did so ultimate BT fix now on new ATT update.
So what is the BT audio problem now still not working?

What you're referring to are Media and Call control over bluetooth (First part of your statement) and Bluetooth Call Audio specifically (second part of your statement. This is what Steve007's fix addresses and the new update fixes). The bug badtlc and I mentioned is specifically when streaming Music or Video Audio through bluetooth (basically any type or audio that isn't phone call related). The audio streams just fine, but with a nasty distortion in the high frequencies. Many people just don't seem to mind the distorted sound because they just don't seem to identify it. If you compare the Bluetooth audio quality vs the direct audio quality (like with an Aux cable) you will hear a noticeable difference.
bluetooth volume level issue after upgrade
I've been having the issue of too low volume on bluetooth calls in my car since the upgrade to 1.19.502.1 I used the RUU from HTC site to do the upgrade and reinstalled everything. I have to literally turn up the bluetooth volume all the way up in my car and the people on the other end complain that I'm not loud enough. Did anyone else notice anything like this?
The first time I did the OTA on a stock, locked, not rooted HOX+ I noticed some improvments, I'm not really sure might have been placebo effect, but it did break my Wi-Fi. It would stay stuck on "Turning on Wi-Fi" the slider would be slid to the on side, but say off and be grey and unaccessable. Well I had to get it replaced under warranty, the headset speaker was dead too but that happened before the update, and it came with 1.15 and I want to know how common of a problem my experience was I know of at least a couple people who have had the same thing and I'm not sure I want to try the update again on this one and have to go through replacing it again.
i dont see any updated
i am using ATT HTC onex+ on pay as you go service, my phone never saw any updates, tried to change date as many have suggested, tried *#*#checkin#*#*, tried to look up for update manually from settings, but none seem to work, my phone is in stock condition with no root/unlock etc.
any ideas?

The official updates from HTC never wipe anything from the device. They just UpDate the OS. There might brake an app and very rarely, but that's just when changing the SW version, due to app incompatibility with the new OS vers. That's just my experience with HTC over the last few years and the last few devices.
Best of luck.

I just upgraded from my Note2 to the Note3 and LOVE IT! The only problem is Netflix sound is way out of sync on the 3. Wifi, 3G and 4GLTE are all the same. The phone speaker, wired headphones, and BT headphones are the same too. I removed and reinstalled the app, talked to Netflix tech support and they said to reboot my home WiFi router, which didn't work. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Thanks!
Normally I don't use netflix on my phone, but I saw your post, and this screen is amazing for it, so I wanted to try. And yes, audio sync issues here as well, only tried on wifi

My picture is actually pretty darn good streaming Netflix, but I see mouths move then hear the sound almost a full second later.

No issues on my end, I just watched Mythbusters and How I Met Your Mother with no issues at all. Maybe try clearing app data and trying again?

Same problem with my Verizon Note 3. Just watching on the phone itself, there is audio lag.
I have also tried the MHL adaptor, the allshare hub and even direct wifi casting to a Samsung TV at Bestbuy. All have unacceptable audio delay.
Did you ever find a solution? I have scoured many forums, and have never seen a solution.
So...usually I stream Spotify via bluetooth in my truck. About a week ago or so, I've had to turn the volume up way past normal to be as loud as it used to be. Anybody else come across this? I've tried different ROMs/kernels and they're all the same. It worked fine before a week ago, but now, not so much. I'm just trying to troubleshoot to see if its my phone or my stereo!
The only thing I've been doing to the phone is swapping ROMs/kernels (the usual), but other than that, no major changes. Possibly something has been added into the ROMs I've been using to limit bluetooth volume? I've tried both ViperROM & InsertCoin in the past few days, maybe I'll try the stock rooted ROM to see if that resolves it.
It's actually a problem with Spotify... if you read the comments on the play store it's a very common complaint at the moment.
