Bluetooth and car audio problem - Galaxy S7 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if anyone has posted this before...
I have a problem and I've been trying to solve it but after months of frustration I have decided to try the experts here. Maybe I someone can help.
I don't know when this all started, but for some reason whenever I connect my phone to my car audio (stock system from Toyota) via Bluetooth I can't use Google voice commands. OK Google gets picked up but after that nothing gets recorded. Just Google waiting for me to say something. I tested SVoice and that works fine, so my only thought is that Samsung has done something.
When I disconnect, the problem persists until I turn Bluetooth off.
I have managed to get it working if I use Google to turn on Bluetooth, but then all phone called go to speaker on the phone. When I connect to Bluetooth to use the steering wheel controls, problem come back.
So, hope that was clear and thanks in advance for any help!

Bluetooth and WiFi problem

I don't speak English so please use you imagination.
I flashed my phone with KPN. The good new is that until now I haven't had any SOD. The bad news is that while de wifi works, I need to turn it on and off if I leave one net and go to another.
Also have problems with bluetooth. I can't make my motorolas S9 to work properly. After pairing, the phone sometimes asks me again for the pin number every time I try to connect the headset to it. Sometimes the phone makes the headset turn off and other times only connects the phone sound but no the multimedia sound. I think it have something to do with the order I turn on the devices. The headset only works if I pair them again.
I know it not a problem with the headset because it works with my other phone and it worked before the flash.
Thanks.

[Q] Problem with transmission over car bluetooth

Hi there,
I have a galaxy s2 that used to connect (with no problems) with my alpine CDE-126BT
After I messed around with the service mode for a while trying to crank up the volumes, there is no transmitted voice over the call (the other side can not here me when I'm connected to the car's Bluetooth).
I know that if I reboot the phone all the changes that was done in the service mode would reset to the default settings, it seems to revert back default but I still have the same problem.
I also tried other phones with my car's bluetooth and they work just fine.
Any advice??
Thanks,
David.

[Q] Bluetooth issues

Hi,
I have the following problem:
Everytime I pair my Samsung Galaxy SII I9000 with my car (Renault Fluence 2012) and its built in bluetooth System, it says that it's correctly paired (and honestly it doesnt even take a minute to pair correctly), but it plays no music. It just has no sound (even when the song is playing correctly on the phone) but everything else just works perfect. I mean, i can control the music (songs, playlists, etc) from my car, but the sound just wont come out. The only way to make it work is to 'unlock' the sound by calling someone. So when the call starts, then the audio starts working. That is, so far, the only way to make it work. And i have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME that i turn on the car or that the device stops being paired with my car.
It does EXACTLY the same thing with my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S305), so I realized it was my phone. I have tried other phones with my car and they work just fine. I have tried other things with my headphones too (like my Psvita) and they work smoothly.
The weird thing about it, is that my phone used to work perfectly fine with both things, and just a random day it decided not to work anymore.
I used kies and re-installed android from 0, and that solved the problem for a few days and then it all started again. I have tried cleaning all the bluetooth devices that my phone is paired with. Going back to factory settings in my car, removing the battery on the phone, resetting the phone, taking everything out (including the sim card( everything. And nothing seems to work.
Please, help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII with Android 2.3.6 (it came with 2.3.3 and i upgrade it twice through kies) I have never rooted my phone or done anything to it, except for upgrading Android through Kies.
Thanks so much!!!

Wow... That's very strange. First off, I'd be looking at compatibility issues. Do you have the BT specs for the car? Maybe they're the same as the headset and not quite 100% compatible with the phone.
Another possibility (although remote) is that the headset and the car are fighting over which gets to talk to your phone because phone services are much different than A2DP (Audio).
You might just have a flaky BT antenna in your device, or a bad (stock) modem/baseband.
I'd try rooting and see if a different modem/baseband clears up the issue. Then at least you'll know what the deal is.
Hey, I also found this on the Renault web site... http://www.renault.co.uk/bluetooth/default.aspx
>> Why does my telephone not reconnect to the system when the vehicle is started?
- In order for your telephone to automatically connect when the vehicle is started, it may be necessary to activate the automatic Bluetooth connection function on your telephone with the hands-free kit. For details on how to do this, please refer to the instructions manual for your telephone.
- Upon reconnection and if there are several telephones paired within the hands-free kit reception area, it is the one that was paired last that will be connected even if it is outside of the vehicle.
So it looks like it might actually be a Renault AND a Motorola problem.
There's also a list of compatibility files at the bottom of that page based on the system you have.
First of all, thanks so much for your help.
The problem with whats going on with my phone, is that it used to work just fine before, with those 2 things (my car and my headphones) Its not like they never worked, they used to work completely fine with my phone.
And i never use them together, like my headphones have never even come close to my car. And since i thought that it could have been a problem with they 'fighting' with each other, even if they werent close, i erased all the cache on my bluetooth settings and unpaired all devices that were ever set with my phone.
So its like if i had never used bluetooth. That obviously didnt work either
It turns out that your car likely keeps up to 5 phones in memory... Is there a way to clear the phone list in the car as well? Then re-pair from scratch on both sides?
well either the blueth is defect or ur doing some wrong settings,root ur device there r plenty of bt apps tht work more powerfull than the default...y possible ur car mus hav a reset buttun for bt so delete all pairs frm phone an reset ur car bt,,,,then start fresh.....hope it helps
I restored my car's settings and deleted every phone paired. That didnt work either... I also tried with a friends phone (iphone 4) and that worked completely fine...

Time for a warranty replacement I think.
Jeez... thats exactly what i was trying to avoid, because my cellphone company will have me waiting for like a month without my phone and will give me in return the ****tiest phone ever while they try to fix it and then realize they cant.
FML
thanks anyway for your help!

S-Voice and Bluetooth (on but not connected)

Hey All,
So, I've been searching all over for an answer to this, I've found a lot of information about S-Voice's problems being used over a bluetooth device but I haven't been able to find any direct discussion of the issue I'm experiencing.
What I've found is that when I have S-Voice's voice wake-up feature enabled, it'll work totally fine with bluetooth off. However, as soon as I toggle bluetooth on the wake-up feature just completely stops working. I don't even need to be connected to a device, as long as bluetooth is on S-Voice Wake-Up does not work. I can manually launch S-Voice and it will hear me just fine, but saying the wake-up command does nothing. As soon as I toggle bluetooth back off, it'll wake up again just fine. I do get that with a bluetooth device connected the microphone on the device needs to be active, so I could understand if this was happening while I was paired with a headset or something, but it seems really odd to me that just having bluetooth on at all would disable the wake-up command feature.
I did try Ok Google and found that it works whether bluetooth is on or off, but I really like the increased functionality that S-Voice offers and I think that for the most part the updates Samsung has done on it are great, so I'd like to get this working if possible.
Has anyone else experienced this, either on the Note 4 or on any of the other Galaxy devices? Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue with svoice, thought it was just the bluetooth in the car at first til I red your post
Widespread
I've got exactly the same problem.... Lovely new note 4 which is forcing me to use my hands on the phone whilst driving... Samsung need to think about this.
Apparently an issue for a few years due to Bluetooth /svoice conflicts, but not acceptable to leave it unaddressed.
I can still use my car system to skip music tracks on the phone, or dial numbers from the car stereo touch screen, but surely this is one of the most valuable areas for voice control?!
Bluetooth off then everything works fine, but Bluetooth on and svoice just fails. No wake up or voice recognition.
I don't use a headset, and the car doesn't have an inbuilt mic, so phone mic is used for calls (which is still fine incidentally.. Only svoice which is screwed.)
Looking forward to someone finding a simple solution to this, as I have spent hours in the menus trying to make a difference but Samsung might have just let us down I'm afraid... And if that's the case then I look forward to hearing them fix it, and update our ware to get everyone on track again.
Resolved and simple
After much fckin about I managed to get this sorted and the answer is simple..... You can't have both apps always trying to recognise the voice all the time.
Go to the settings for ok Google and voice detection then always on... Uncheck it and suddenly svoice is working again... On my way to the car for final checking now,but preliminary checking says all should be good.
Nope
Ok... It works until the system is fully connected.
As soon as the connection is made then the handset microphone switches off again.
Note 4 s voice is officially dangerous to Road users and Samsung are ultimately proving themselves irresponsible for creating a system which forces use of hand and eye coordination when in Bluetooth and car mode.... Seriously Samsung... Sort this sht out.
When driving, set to hands free mode, this allows use of svoice on bluetooth

Note 4 and above have it listed as car mode.
svoice works perfectly with blue tooth when car mode is enabled.
Set it up at home before you use it the first time.

Bluetooth Audio issue

Asked a question a while back about the issue with Bluetooth audio cutting back to the phone speaker, is there a fix out for it yet? If not, do Huawei know about the bug?
Thanks
Original post text below.
I have this little problem with my new Huawei.
(I have a Mate 10 Pro, couldn't find a section for that specific model)
Whenever I connect it to my car or Bluetooth headphones, the audio from my phone will randomly switch from my car speakers or my headphones to the phone speakers. The only way to get it outputting audio through the Bluetooth device again, is by reseting my Bluetooth connection. However, it does this every time and its driving me insane.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Can't help with a solution I'm afraid but I get the same on BLA-L09 C782, firmware 131. It sometimes refuses to connect to anything until I switch into airplane mode and back.
Other times it will connect fine then switch to loudspeaker almost immediately - even though bluetooth still says it's connected (and the play/pause button works on the device). It seems fairly random and reconnecting a few times gets it to work for a while, but it's annoying when it happens while driving.
My guess is that it's an audio routing issue, so most likely a software glitch.
Has anyone switched to a treble rom and still finding the problem? Or has anyone noticed it has gone with a later firmware update?
