Background
- I picked up a S4 Sunday with a upgrade on another line in my plan. I then transferred the S4 to my unlimited plan.
My reverse phone time line is S3 <-Thunderbolt <- Incredible
I rooted it and installed clean ROM, then learned that the bluetooth won't auto connect to my cars stereo. I have to manually go into settings and check "media audio" every time I turn the car off. I tried the "bluetooth auto connect app" which does it's job but it's still annoying since I have to turn the screen on every time I sync (plus the app can mess with wife speeds/connection).
I tried every combo of resetting, and factory resets for the phone and my car (subaru 14).
I tried different bluetooth system apks, but no luck. CM10 rom worked but I'm not a fan of cm10 (it's exactly the same on my S3).
This bluetooth thing is annoying as I'm in and out of the car all day and don't want to fiddle with it.
Plus I'm not sure now if the S4 is worth burning my 2year upgrade over my S3, should I wait 4 months for something better. The only thing that stands out is IR remote and camera.
Any other S3 owners have advice? Am I being too much of a baby about the bluetooth?
Thanks.

whats your issue?
Patients is often rewarded
I'm not coming from the S3, I upgraded to an S4 from a Galaxy Nexus. I would encourage you to give the S4 custom ROM developers time to hone the ROM's to address these kinds of issues. The combination of Samsung, Android and Verizon is almost always going to manage to screw up some parts of the OS, interface and/or functionality, but the hardware is great and it seems like things are moving quickly in the custom dev community to fix issues. It sounds like some ROM's have addressed this BT issue. I would think a TW ROM may address this issue soon. I'm still trying to be patient for a fully functional ROM with stock Android base.
If you wait 4 months for a new model, it may have same issue and then you would have to wait a couple more months for a custom ROM that does everything you want it to.
If there's a reason to return it, make it about the lag it has. NFC tags will solve your issue.
With NFC would I still have to take my phone out of my backpack/pocket/suitcase to "bump" the nfc chip?
The phone connects fine it just doesn't auto enable the "media audio" option.
Yup have the same problem with connecting my phone's bluetooth to my car stereo. I had to manually connect the audio everytime. There is a work around app on the play store called A2DP volume by JimRoal. The app forces to turn on the audio connect and works automatically. Also can automatically launch apps apps once bluetooth connected i.e. pandora.

So I don't have to turn the screen on (this was the method with "bluetooth auto connect"), it'll do it without any input from me?

I have the same issue with my headset. Hope someone will find a solution soon.
I too have same problem!!
Whats wrong with samsung!!, sometime Wifi problem and sometime bluetooth.:silly::silly:
earlier I was on 4.1.2 and it was working good with my jabra clipper bluetooth headset, after updating to 4.4.2 it sucks!.
according to my observation,
The OS is trying to save battery by limiting the bluetooth signal strength!, and the same problem with wifi also.:silly:
Looking for a workaround. If i find any will post for sure.
I have the same issue with my Note 2 after update to 4.4.2..
It seems to be a distance problem with my headset, every distance more than 50 cm creates
sound break up´s .. In my car the phone has a fixed place, it happens too, but not this much.
Maybe it is caused by a lower power managment for BT after update ?!
Found some others having the same issue e.g. here

Yepp, I know that threat. But on my N7100 nothing works. In the meantime I'm on Paranoid ROM with 4.4.4 and it's a little better, but not much.

Hi
and have the same problem with the bluetooth, the phone in my pocket, Samsung headphones on the head and lose the music signal, conclusion .... android version
Before to upgrade I had 4.3 and works very well and now I upgraded to 4.4.2 my Note 2 with Phantom_V7.0 and work awesome but has a minus....... the bluetooth signal gets lost and it's not about the power,for ex i have battery with 4200 mAh
I will continue to keep looking this problem and I will return
There is no way to get better connection. The only way is using a 4.3 ROM
Seems like the problem is solved.
Hey guys!
It seems to me I’ve found the solution!
But firstly, a few words about the problems I’ve got…
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and, when I decided to replace my old Plantronics Discovery 975 with their Voyager Edge, it had installed Android 4.3.
Both events, start using the new Bluetooth devise and upgrading to KitKat (4.4.2) occurred almost simultaneously, so it was pretty difficult to recognize what was the source of the problems that I run into – hardware/firmware issues of Voyager Edge or KitKat’s quirks. The problems were the following:
- Poor Bluetooth connection that resulted in distorted sound (not always, but often) thru the headset.
- Regularly losing the ability to use various Edge’s features, such as calling back to the last number, checking the battery status, recognizing who's calling, etc.
- Note’s battery drained badly – instead of 50-60% left at the end of the day, I got 10%...
I spoke several times with Plantronics support, but they ended advising me to replace the headset. I have neither found the specific solution in the internet and it was even reported that the factory reset would hardly help. So, that was almost the dead-end. But there was one pretty weird solution that helped to some people – deleting the duplicates in the phone’s contact list. But, since I had NO duplicates, it didn’t seem to be helpful. But then, I noticed one very strange detail – during the moments when Edge worked properly it correctly pronounced the names from my phone book, even tho some of them were quite unusual for English speaking "robot". All of them, but one – my mother’s record, which was a simple “Mom”, but when she called me, the Edge’s notification was definitely not “calling from mom”…
So, I just renamed “mom” to “mother”!
Guys, can you believe that, but ALL the problems (both phone’s and headset’s) have just gone! I’ve been using it for almost a week already and it’s OK. So, you may check your contact list, whether it sounds correctly.
Well, one issue left – weird/funny bug of the Edge’s firmware – start playing music when you take it off the cradle. (2 latest firmware updates didn’t cure that…). I just long press the voice button on the Edge to pause it. Not a big deal, to be honest.
Oh, just one last note – since Voyager Edge cannot be rebooted you can do the following if/when you neither hear the music (!), nor the report that the headset is connected when you take it off the cradle. Just long press the Call button on the headset (in my case it runs Note’s S-voice) and then everything works just fine. (Checked twice.)
Hope that this will help you too.
Cheers,
Max
Hi Max,
nice story, but I can't belive that this entry or change of entry will make the BT signal better.

Hi Harvey,
Absolutely the same reaction was mine, when I read the comment by dawolverune (see page 1 of this thread). How deleting duplicate contacts might help…
Well, if assume that I tell the truth (and I actually do! ), then the solution may be explained in 2 ways: a) logical – I’ve been hammering with all this stuff for almost a week and nothing helped until I renamed that single contact and then, it just start working and b) technical – since Voyager Edge pronounced the wrong name it means that it took it from somewhere, but definitely from the wrong place and this might require extra “efforts” from the Bluetooth receiver/transmitter, etc. This indeed may result in abnormal behavior of the devise and “eating” the battery. If re-phrase the title of S. Coppola’s movie – here we had “Lost in Bluetooth” case.
Cheers,
Max

SOLUTION OF BLUETOOTH DROPPING after 4.4.2 update
Yo !
I found the solution. No one has to downgrade Note 2 (N7100) to Jelly-bean in order to fix the Bluetooth range and WiFi dropping issue.
The fault is with the latest update from Samsung itself, May be it is a tactic to make people shift to the newer phones.(who knows) !
Anyway the solution to this problem is to Flash it with Odin it a previous release of 4.4.2.
In my case which is from the INU (India) region the release of August that is 29.08.2014 is a faulty update.
So i downloaded the older one and flashed it.. then everything worked perfectly as if the phone was new
Here is how to do it:- [BACKUP YOUR PHONE WITH KIES 3]
1. Check your version from *#1234#, Compare the version with Near August version of your Region. If it is same you better change it to get a way better performance.
2. Look up the earlier ROM version released from samsung-updated .com , http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100&details=Galaxy_Note_2__International , I personally flashed it with the first version of Kit-Kat that came for note 2 in INU region. on the 8th April (08.04.2014).
3. Download ODIN http://www.mediafire.com/download/mbvtjub21ehsxrl/Note+2+Odin.zip
4. Install Samsung USB drivers http://www.mediafire.com/download/9qaqkld45387lzi/Skyrocket_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip
[IF THE LINKS DON'T WORK then GOOGLE THEM AND INSTALL]
5. Power off your Samsung Note 2.
6. Hold Volume Down, Power, and Home Buttons at the same time. You will enter the ODIN DOWNLOAD MODE on your phone.
7. Press Volume up to Continue. It will Show "Downloading" "do not power off"
8. Connect your device to the PC where you have put ODIN and the md5 file (Firmware you want to flash with)
9. It will show connected to your device name on the top left of ODIN which means that it recognizes your device.
Click on PDA and select the firmware that u downloaded to flash Note 2 with.
It will lag for a few seconds but let it take its time.
When it is done. [Refer Image attached]
10. Press Start [It will take around 5 minutes, 3 minutes give or take]
11. It will Automatically Reboot your phone. Do not disconnect the USB cable.
After the boot is Complete ODIN will show a PASS on the left Side. Which means that the Flashing Process has been a Success.
If it shows fail then Repeat the process from STEP 6 all the way till STEP 11.
{ RECOVERY STEPS:- this will wipe all your data}
[Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then disconnect your Note 2 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside AFTER 5 seconds, press Volume up, Home key and Power key at the same time, When the Logo comes then Leave the Power button but keep pressing the other 2. Wait for it to show MANUAL MODE. Select Wide Data and Factory reset with Volume down and press power to continue, Then again wipe Cache.
Select Reboot . Now it should work perfectly.
CAUTION :- DO THIS AT UR OWN RISK.
Is this problem appears in official update? Want to update, but dont want any probs)
Yes the problem is with the official update. Better not update it till there is another update of it available.
I'm thinking this might have to do with Samsung dropping the Bluetooth version from 4.0 back to 2.0. I have no idea why they would do that but I've been wondering why my phone listed version 2.0 when the specs for this phone always said version 4.0. As you can see my debug screen shows it as version 2 and not 4.0. My Edge shows 4.0 on that same screen. I can't recall if older builds for the Note 2 had 4.0 listed but I believe they did and kitkat lowered it. Guess that's their trick to get people to upgrade, break things on our phones quietly...

Has anyone else had any problems connecting their Verizon flavored S4 to Windows 8.1 or any other Windows version? I don't know what happened to the phone, but some time back it lost the ability to connect to either my desktop running Windows 8.1 Pro or my laptop running Windows 8/Ultimate Edition 4.2. My Tab 3 8.0 connects just fine, but that's not the one I'm interested in upgrading the OS on. If anyone has insights, please share. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response, but I should've stated that I used to be able to connect the phone to Windows 8 in the past. For whatever reason, when I plug in the phone, I don't even get the prompt in the status bar asking me how I want to connect (Media or Camera, or whatever the two options are). For some reason, that option has disappeared. All the required settings are checked in System Settings under Developer Options, and they match what I have set on my Tab 3 8.0 which connects fine.

My phone is pretty stock except for the usual root features. I uninstalled some Verizon bloatware and used an app to block that annoying firmware update notice that was driving me nuts. I didn't even know my phone was having PC connection issues until the first time I got the update notice and tried to connect it to my computer to backup a few things. My Tab is set up pretty much the same, which is what has me a little baffled. Aside from missing a few non-essential Verizon apps, I could uninstall SafeStrap and un-root both devices and one would never know they'd ever been rooted. If I ever do take the plunge into the world of KitKat and want to keep root, I know I'll have to be able to connect to my computer and the required Odin program for the ROM download, which is about the only thing keeping my from doing the update.

Ok, this is a little weird. I plugged my Tab into my desktop at which time Windows did it's thing and installed the necessary items. So for a kick, I plugged in my phone and suddenly they decided to talk to each other. Can't explain it, but I'm glad it's working now.

zhingket, have you gotten anywhere with this? I saw instructions on a TMO site that don't make any sense as it talks about WiFi, but might be worth a shot...
MirrorLink
To share screen and sound from phone with car, follow these steps.
Turn on and connect to Wi-Fi.
From any home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Settings > Networks tab.
Tap Share & connect > Media server.
Select the Content sharing check box.
Tap YES.
I'm looking into a new deck and would love to utilize MirrorLink. Does anyone have actual experience with making it work? (Not just reading about it).

No luck, the instructions from T-mobile manual is like miracast not the actual mirrorlink, I've seen that manual before. I wish I could install android auto on my CRV's head unit, like what I did on the car play (beta tester). Right now my work around is I bought an iphone 5s (Virgin mobile/Boost deal) activate on Ring Plus, and use car play, maybe down the road go back to Samsung which supports mirrorlink.
I'm having a similar issue on the Verizon V10 using my aftermarket Pioneer. The phone knows it's plugged into something, it asks if it should use mtp or ptp but the headunit never sees it. I wonder if it has to do with the Verizon installer that comes up when plugged into a computer. Does anyone know how to remove that function from the phone?
Hi guys
i have the XQ-CQ54 model with android 12 and i'm experiencing a lot of crashes with Android Auto. Tried everything including factory reset. Problem appears both on USB connection and wireless and appears on all cars i've tried it on (about 4 this far of different brands and models).
Anyone else with this?
might be app related ,5 iv is very new and might need a new android auto update to work better i would advise reporting that to google so they can have that feedback .
I would try it on my car but my infotainment is a little bit older so i cant get to reproduce the same effect.

i've tried various versions of android auto, they all crash... but they don't on my Samsung S20FE with same Android OS version (12)
Latest thing i tried was making sure power management is off for both AA and Spotify. We'll see if that makes a difference...
Yet again s20fe is not new on the market ,i know what you are saying but i still feel bugs might need some time to be polished on 5 iv as they dont have same hardware .
You can try to test it in safe mode...tho i am not sure if android auto is disabled or not in safe mode
tried changing battery management settings for apps, i'll see if that makes a difference.

I have an XQ-CQ72 on 64.0.H.11.9, with Android Auto 8.6.124944 and don't have any issues
I have a 5 iv running Android 12 and Android Auto works flawlessly.
It didn't when I first tried it. My previous phone was a S22 and Android Auto worked flawlessly. On swapping the phone to the 5 iv, Android Auto couldn't hold a connection and produced error messages. After checking all the appropriate settings I couldn't find anything untoward. Past experience has shown at this point try a different usb cable....and with a different cable Android Auto started working and has continued to work flawlessly ever since.
I have come across this "sensitivity" to the usb cable before, with an older Huawei phone.
I would suggest trying a different usb cable, if you haven't already, as it may make a difference.

just updated to android 13 (64.1.x) from 64.0.x firmware - same problem except on the way home it was worse than it has ever been before, crashed / disconnected every 5 minutes and reconnected... extremely annoying.
i have 1 IV and don't have crashes. But generally, not as reliable as it was with my XZ2.
Car is Peugeot 3008 mk2 from 2017. Wireless does not work at all but don't really care about that because it just drains battery instead of charging. Now, charging........sometimes it does not charge despite having AA active and using sat nav. Cable that I used with XZ2 (ugreen) does not work at all for AA. And most of the time not even for data on laptop. Cable from XZ2 works with AA every time, did a 5000km trip a few months back, no issues. Except it does not charge sometimes, LED is on, sign for charging is on but battery charge goes down.
Try cleaning the AA app cache. I had same issues w/ my Pixel after update.

Yeah, I've tried that including completely removing / reinstalling app etc.
Now trying on another phone (yes, another 5 IV) which is set up from scratch without restoring from backup.
I have exactly the same behavior with Xperia 5 IV on both Android 12 and 13. Random crashes. Sometime it works for 1 hour, sometimes 5 minutes. It appears to be worse with Android 13.
I tried changing cable, I even bought a new one... no change.
I don't have AA wireless but it does not appear to be cable related. When the crash occurs, my smartwatch (BT) is disconnected.

Well, I had 1 hours without any crash... after enabling the debug layer for android auto. I didn't notice any difference or additional info but no crash.
Hey Guys; I am facing the same issue. Just, that it's not related to Android Auto.
Many apps were crashing just randomly.
For example, like Tidal, sometimes it was playing music for hours and sometimes just for a few minutes until it crashed.
So I enabled a feature in developer mode which allows to show a crashing dialog. And just a few moments later the nextcloud app crashed and the error message was something like "out of memory".
Looking in to it => Yep, there it was => the OS is holding almost all of the available memory.
So, you might want to check your memory in Settings => Developer Options => Memory.
And since I almost bricked my device last night, I just flashed the latest 64.1.A.0.857 via newflasher and at the moment (fresh OS) it seems to be better - but I will surley find out these days.
Merry Christmas everyone ...
Hi guys, I had similar problems with Android auto. I did a software repair with Xperia Companion, since then AA works fine.
