I have figured out a work-around for the auto pairing failure. I will give a step by step workaround how I did it. In my situation, I have a Mazda CX-5 and a Samsung Galaxy S3. But I am confident, that it will work with all Android 4.0.4 versions and other carkits, because the problem is most likely the same issue.
The reason why the phone won't auto pair, is because the phone does not give your carkit permission to download call history and other data. Even if you granted the phone this permission with the initial pairing.
If you have a carkit that supports multiple bluetooth profiles (multiple phones), like my Mazda CX-5 does, then you can also have your phonebook downloaded to your car. If your carkit supports multiple profiles, start with step 1. If yours doesn't, start with step 7. This guide is specifically for the Mazda CX-5, so some steps may be (slightly) different for your car model or make.
Here is the step by step guide:
1. Make sure you have no existing bluetooth pairs. Clear all pairs in your carkit and your phone.
2. Pair the phone with your carkit. You can see the randomly generated code on your phone and on the car display. Press ok to pair. (other carkits may need you to input "0000" or "1234", or maybe you have to input a code yourself)
3. Your phone will ask 2 questions about permissions. Check the box and allow. The phone will start to sync.
4. You carkit is done with syncing and it will ask you if you want to download your phonebook. Do this.
5. When its done copying, clear the Bluetooth pair on your phone (not on the Carkit!)
6. Give your phone a different Bluetooth name
7. In your carkit choose to pair a new phone (with the new name you just entered).
8. When the phone asks for permission for the carkit, check the box and choose cancel. Do this for both questions.
You don't have to copy your phonebook again (you can't anyway because you denied permission), but the phonebook that was downloaded earlier will still be available. Now the phone will pair automatically! With this trick you have your phonebook and automatic pairing.
I haven't seen what this does for media-audio streaming. I don't use that, but I can image that it doesn't work, because of the denied permissions.
There is another downside to this though (there always is, isn't it?). You cannot update your phonebook easily. If you want to update your phonebook, repeat the whole procedure.
I hope this will work for other people with different phones and cars too. At least this is a workaround until Google/Samsung comes with a fix. Please let us know if this works in your situation. To keep things structured, please use this format:
Car: Mazda CX-5
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Works: Yes
That's OK !!
Car : Renault Scénic
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3
Works : Yes, fine !! (with the MP3 reader too !...)
Good stuff!
Car: Vauxhall Vivaro van
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Works: Yes, but can't get access to the phonebook as bluetooth keeps dropping out before it downloads. I don't really mind that though. At least I can now use my phone!
Man thanks for this fix!

I have many problems with paring the S3 to different devices (headset, carkit, modem) Even connecting the S3 to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 reuslts in the S3 not being able to sent photo's to the Galaxy Tab 7.7 only when I fist sent a foto from the tablet to the S3 I can then sent form S3 to tablet. Also Wifidirect does not work. The software of my S3 is:
Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: i9300xxlfb
Kernel: 3.0.15-782020-user
Buildnummer: I9300XXBLFB
Any discussion with Samsung support and product managers did not resolve in a solution, they continously point the issue to the carkit, headset, modem supplier. Even the problem with connecting to the Samsung tablet is waved as "Differnt software, different hardware no guarantee that is compatible".
Solution
So I have reset the S3 back to factory settings which removes all apps not installed by me and all personal settings. Then I did following:
I installed, on the Samsung Galaxy S3 the first version of Samsung factory ROM (Build I9300XXALE8 for region Europe which is also 4.0.4 but the earlier version) using procedures and software(odin) to install custom roms. This does not void the warranty as the unit is not being rooted but only downgraded to an earlier official Samsung softeware
Then reset the S3 again to factory default settings.
Started the pairing with the Bluetooth device. They all started to pair and work correctly.
Removed all pairing profiles again form the phone and tried to pair again.. it kept doing the right thing.
Turned off the phone, turned on again and autopair with the carkit worked flawless. (my carkit is a Pioneer HD1BT). Same with headset and modem.
Install Samsung automatic software updates which upgrades the device ROM to newest version Build I9300XXBLFB. Manual disconnect and reconnect kept working
If one removes any BT connection profile on the phone after the software update, the BT connection/pairing problems with that device will come back and you need to do the whole procedure again
Bottomline conclusion: The latest Samsung updates has broken the ability to create a pairing profile with some bluetooth 2.0 devices.However, once the phone has Bluetooth connection profile for that the device, it keeps working.
The blame of Samsung towards carkit mfg's is incorrect. . It also has nothing to do with Bluetooth 4.0 compatibillity with 2.0 devices. (iPhone 4S, HTC One X are bluetooth 4.0 and the HTC One x is also Android 4.0.4). It is a pure Samsung sofware problem!
Either way It sucks. This is supposed to be the best phone on the market and its not without bugs
I received an OTA from Sprint and my bluetooth is now working as intended in my car. Have others received this OTA and had their bluetooth issues resolved?
I'm having a similar issue, but it only fails to autoconnect once I have set it to use the phone as a Bluetooth audio device.
Car : Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) GTD
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3
Works : Yes but can't sync contacts
All worked fine with LFB ROM (auto pairing and contacts sync) but from LG6 (LG8, LG9 and LH1) my phone disconnected 5sec after a contacts sync and auto reconnect 1min later...
So I just paired the phone without contacts synchronising.
Good news for everyone : everything works fine with JB (contacts, auto pairing...) !
Soon on Criskelo ROM :good:

LH7 today but still problems in fact. I had a very lucky test... cause today it's impossible to synchronize contacts correctly without being disconnected every 10 secs.
All I can do is pairing S3 and car kit without contacts...
I think I found a solution that seems to work well for me. I tried 3 times and it works.
I tested one last time just leaving a blank LH7 stock ROM then a nandroid backup from a previous version and if it is confirmed, I will explain the process. :laugh:
I solved the problem! (at least with my config)

I just installed the Tmobile OTA update and verify that the bluetooth reconnection issue has been resolved. I was using the workaround prior to this update and it worked as stated. After the update, I removed the pairing profile and re-pair from scratch and it worked right away. My issue now is that only a small portion of my (google) contact list gets transferred to the car. If anyone has any suggestions on workaround, it will be much appreciated
Stupid question but we never know... : did you wait long time enough ?
Check your google contacts and avoid :
- *
- non-ASCII characters
- email addresses with 'home' or 'work' attribute
With a little luck ...
Ive been trying to figure this out now for a month and so far i have found:
If i restore back to stock image (rooted) with samsung bloatware bluetooth will work perfectly fine.
If i then go to use TB to restore all my apps data etc, whenever i get into the car i will then get aprox 30 seconds - 2 minutes delay in the pairing.
If i restore back to stock and just use phone book it works perfectly fine. So i wondered if something was in the restore.
If i then flash a custom rom (any rom 4.0.4) on it will just take 30 mintues or whatever the timeout i have set in the bluetooth config file, this in theory is a dead end does nto work. If i then reflash the custom rom and do a complete user wipe, fix perm and nuke all the cache it then works perfectly fine with the custom rom (exactly like the stock).
I then can go to the car and it will pair perfectly. If i then go to TB and restore (including bt pairing etc) i get stuck in the 30 -2 minutes pairing, sometimes even longer.
Now here is the strange part, if i know my phone is at the stage where it will pair within 2 minutes i know i can restart my phone and it will pair instantly! If i turn off BT and turn it back on it will not pair.
OK so now i kind of know how to get it working but not as perfect as walking to the car and it pairs within a second or two. If i then flash a kernel (any i have tried about 4 of the popular ones) i then get 0 pairing, it can try for 10 minutes - 20 minutes it will just not pair. I then have to reflash over on top the custom rom with full bloatware.
Ok so now if i try the same as above minus the bloatware i get stuck in the non pairing mode again. non of this install bluetooth.apk, pressing cancel to contacts works for me. My BMW, AUDI will just get stuck in limbo where its paired but the connection is similar to a phone call for an unlimited lengeth of time it will just not work.
My current state of the phone is like this... OMEGA ROM (any version 4.0.4), stock kernel, FULL bloatware and my phone will pair either instantly or <2minutes. If it fails to do this a restart of the phone will pair it instantly.
I am able to freeze bloatware but any removal and the BT just hits deadlock. Now what is weird is i never ran my phone with bloatware at all up until all these problems started so something in the last month has sent my bt messy. even restoring back to my rom backup from when it was workign wil lnot fix it.
This is not a car BT issue as i have tried three cars and they work perfectly fine with any other phone.
I am getting kind of sick of sitting in the car flashing roms, trying things etc. I do not know what the problem is but atleast 2mins waiting time is better than not having anything
I'm on JB (Revolution HD 12.2) and my S3 still won't pair with a car kit, no matter what I do. :\

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

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...

Hello
I have a Samsung III GT-I9300 and up until recently I was able to use my phone within my Car via Bluetooth, I cannot remember exactly when this happened but some time ago my phone rang rather than the internal Bluetooth system within the Car.
I thought nothing of it as I thought the connection must have dropped and I would just re-establish it when I had some spare time – this morning I re-established the connection i.e. I unpaired the phone then deleted all Bluetooth connections with the Car – I then paired the phone with the Car – rang my mobile but the Car would not switch to answer the call i.e. the Samsung III mobile rang.
I do take all Samsung software and firmware upgrades therefore I can only assume somewhere along the line an update has disabled this very useful Bluetooth feature.
Has anybody had a similar experience ? and or if so can you please give me some advice as to how I can re-establish the connection with my Samsung when I receive an incoming call and Car via Bluetooth.
Thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply
My current build number is JSS15J.19300ZSUBNB1
I really can not remember at what point this all changed ( I wish I had looked at it as soon as it happened ) as I may have been able to roll back to a previously stored backup.
I do have whatsapp and viber on my phone .. could it be that something 3rd party has decided to block contact between my phone and car ( BMW ) ? .. I have had those apps for some time but can not recall when exactly.
Just to reiterate the pairing "Succeeded successfully" and the BMW appears on my phone as a paired device. .. this is very odd
I can only suggest testing using another smartphone or upgrading your current rom build

I have a Chinese radio specifically the 7023b model and with android 9 in google pixel 2, everything worked perfect. I connected android car through a usb cable, and enjoyed google maps and spotify. When I have updated to Android 10, everything works until the moment of connecting, it asks me for authorization usd debug, but it remains black screen and although I hear the voice, I can not see the image. It has a solution?
I'm experiencing the exact same problem with a Galaxy S9 and 7023B unit. Worked great with Android 9, no longer with 10. Even received a security update a few days ago, but didn't solve the problem. I contacted the radio vendor and said they are working on a patch for the radio and will send the new firmware when done, but I'm not hopeful. Think it is new security protocols for Android. Hope someone finds a fix!
[/INDENT]Hello and thanks for your time reading this. S9+ SM-G 965U bought yesterday. I used it with a T-Mobile SIM to test calls. Person called reports "I can hear my self". I perform the loopback test by dialing *#0*#. In the first test that says Dual mic, I can indeed hear sound feedback. I don't hear this in the other two options (Speaker mic (the one on the bottom) or in the headphone mic test). I tried turning mic permissions off, cache clearing twice and a factory reset. For some reason I can't upgrade to Android 10 or perform a security update. The download and install button for the software update does not work. It displays a press but does not do anything. And the security update says it is up to date and its date is September 2019. So I have not tried a firmware or security update yet. What the *&^$ can I do? Thanks and sorry for the frustration depicted here.
hey there- acc. to me i tested this loop thing on my device only one mic work at one time testing SPK_2ND MIC (2nd mic =sound from main spkr) nd Rcv_dual mic( Main mic =sound from earpiece spkr) nd about update if u ask me u should not update to 10 . i was facing some of main installing apps issue after update then downgraded to 9 and i will stay on pie. if ur device is brand new may itwill take around 1 week
