Hello!
I use my Android phone as a OBD scanner (with a bluetooth elm327 interface).
I started using it with Android 1.8 on my HTC HD2.
I had no problem up to Samsung S3 with Android 4.1.2.
After I upgrade to Android 4.2 (with the same S3, or with Huawei G700) and 4.4 (on LG G3 and OnePlusOne),
I need to pair my bluetooth OBD scanner every time I restart it (my scanner has a power on/off button).
This is very unuseful!!!
Someone can tell me why?
How can I solve?
Thank you in advance!

What brand Bluetooth device is this? Does this only occur on your OBD scanner and not your other devices after the update?

Bluetooth scanner is "Vgate" branded.
That occur not only with my device after update (S3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2),
but with all device with Android 4.2 and over (Huawei G700, OnePlusOne, LG G3 D855).
No problem with Android 4.1.2 device (HTC HD2 with SD Android 4.1.2 and lower, S3 before update).
Why?
I suppose something changes in Bluetooth driver on Android 4.2 and newer...

Hello, I just bought a Xperia S and I did not reach in connection it to my Built-in bluetooth system (a parrot built-in kit in a Citroen). The pjone can see the system but I'm not able to make the system pairing.
I already had difficulties in the past with an X10 but it was linked to Android 1.6 and with my Samsung Galaxy S2 under Cyanogen7. I have no issue to conenct with Nokia E6, iPhone 4 or Android 2.3.X smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire,...).
I think that it could come from the BT stack used by Sony or from their Android adaptation and I don't think I would be able to pair the system till an update could be released or perhaps with ICS.
Does somebody has the same difficulty or a solution ?
Best regards
Try to reset the bluetooth in your car.
Sent from my Sony Xperia S-LT26i
I had the same issue with my bluetooth IO player.First time when I added it after that it would not connect. Turned bluetooth off and on and automatically connected. Might be worth restarting your phone. If the phone can add it then it should be able to connect to it.
Hello, I do,'t know where to reset my car BT as it is a built-in. One solution could be to remove the fuse....
It is not a question of connexion as I'm not able to pair the BT device and the Xperia.
I have no issue with all the other phones !!!
I have a 2009 Ford Mondeo and my Xperia S paired with the integrated bluetooth unit without any issues. Can browse phone book and call log without any issues and obviously make/receive calls.
Hi Guys,

Hi!
I recently wanted to test the app 'sixaxis controller' on my samsung galaxy s3. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to find the bluetooth address in the lower part of the screen. Also, when i press start, it says: Starting driver.. and gets stuck on that screen. I have also tried using PairTool for Windows in combination with Bluetooth Address Finder, which is supposed to tell me my bluetooth address. But it cant seem to find any bluetooth address on my S3.

Samsung Galaxy S3
Android Revolution HD Custom Rom Ver. 18.0 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2)

hi
i have an m155 plantronics bluetooth headset which has a specification of bluetooth version 3.
when i use it with my android jellybean 4.1.1 mobile phone ALCATEL 5035E (unrooted) to play music, the music stutters,
drops off, then resumes, then finally drops off completely without resuming, although bluetooth
icon remains blue. i touched the bluetooth icon to disconnect it. the icon
blinks and does not stop.
i brought my mobile phone for service and they replaced my phone with a brand new one. but the same problem occurred.
the technicians said it could be a problem with the bluetooth compatibility with the android jellybean. they said to update my bluetooth device so that it becomes compatible with the android 4.1.1. i was skeptical because i had this vague thought that there is no such thing as updating the software on a bluetooth headset.
i checked on my android device, and the bluetooth version on the mobile phone is 4.1.1-1350
sorry if i sound stupid to ask you guys. but i need to give the technicians an answer so that we can move forward in finding the problem. Your answer will help us go in the right direction.
does the bluetooth headset need to be the same version with the android phone in order for it to function properly?
is there an android update that fixes my issue? if so, how do i get it?
thanks much
Hi all,
I currently have an I777 with CM11 M11 ported from I9100 and the Shift kernel. It is stable for the most part.
I can connect both my headset (via HFP) and car media player (via A2DP and AVRCP) and everything works fine.
I was wondering. Would I be able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to this phone (via HID profile I believe)? In other words, would I be able to use the Satechi Media Button with my phone? Is supporting Bluetooth HID a hardware specification (i.e. Bluetooth version) or a software one (i.e. OS support)?
Hello all,
since yesterday i have my new car. In this car i have also MirroLink, SmartLink, Android Auto (Android Car) and Apple CarPlay.
Now i have connectet my Z2 via cable in the car and MirroLink is working fine. If i change the settings in the Car to "Android Auto", nothing happens.
Is this a problem with my Z2 and Android 5.1.1 (offical update from Sony, no custom ROM)?
I hope you can help me,
Thanks and best regards,
Nico
