Hi. I bought the p20 lite 2days ago. It works ok, however I am facing problems with its connection to my bmw 525i e60 model. It connects, transfers the data, but then it usually disconnects once I make the first call and the other party answers the phone. This does not happen all the time. Usually it happens the first time that I make a call. I tried 6 other phones, all work ok. I tried to restart the phone, remove and add the phone to the car... all without syccess. Any ideas from someone? I would really appreciate it.
The phones you tried run Oreo or other android versions?
There are some problems with Oreo devices connecting via bluetooth to BMWs
I have this problem with p20 lite and pioneer car radio!
Bluetooth
Yes it is using Oreo. It works ok with my other newer 316i BMW, also with Ford, but nor with my own car's bluetooth

I'll test it in the next days to see if it also happens to me.
Hello,
I also have problems with the Bluetooth.
Connected to the car radio, it is no stable.
And connection with my tomtom go 520 gives no connection at all!

I have also problem with my P20 Lite. Actually, i have 2 problems:
1. i use my phone in a car VW Touran, radio RNS 315. I made a BT connection, I can dial or answer the call, but I cannot see dialing history from my phone. I also not see my phone book on RNS 315
2. on my bike I am using Polar V650 bike computer. I cannot sync sessions with P20 Lite, because of the error "your phone is not compatible with Polar V650"
Is there any new FW that will fix this problems with BT connection?
No there is no solution at this moment.
I have reported this at Huawei, and they are investigating the problem.
I think it is a good idea that you do the same! Calling Huawei support.

Oké thnx, my wife's P20lite already has that version, only it's named B125. But changelog is the same.
How you updated to this new version? I didn't received it yet
Hi all, thanks for your replies.
Concerning car bluetooth problems, I've had problems at first for pairing with my Dacia (Medianav), the phone simply didn't see the bt device. The day after is was able to pair correctly, since then I didn't have more problem.
I've updated to 8.0.0.126, BT seems indeed more stable, but after a few hours I still lose synchronization between my watch and the P20. The P20 and the watch display they're connected together, but can't sync data any more. Only a reboot of the watch makes things work again.

In the last firmware update some issues related to bt where fixed, check it if you have one in the buffer.
Hello,
I have problem with may car computers too. I have Navi600 system in my chevy cruze. P20lite is paired with system and i can see all diall history (incoming/outgoing calls) , but without phone book. I didn't have this kind of problem with my old p10lite. Support answered that problem appears due to newer android and bt version... Is any one of you able to confirm that? Is there any patch for that or exteranl application? I suppose that is not the problem with connection because system see the call history from phone, but doesn't read the contacts.

It might be your car doesn't work well with android 8. My Mercedes works fine with my phone. Even displays my sms. You can try checking the Bluetooth setting when connected to the car see if its a permission that might be deactivated

Hello
I had the OG Droid and one of the reasons I bought the Droid RAZR was that it would PUSH sms messages to my car (2012 BMW X5).
But since the new SW update on the RAZR, this function stopped working. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a simple fix to this issue?
Thanks in advance,
dmoney98
Maybe it's 2012 BMW X5's fault. Is it running on latest firmware?

Thanks Zola,
That is a posibillity, but the function was working before the RAZR software update and has stoped after the update.
So i really do not think it is the cars's firmware, that is causing the problem, but I will check.
Thanks
dmoney98
the BMW software is up to date. So the problem still resides in the latest Phone software update.

It is not an "App" issue. The RAZR BT Profile "MAP", used to push sms messages to my car. After the RAZR SW update, this feature has stopped. I do not see a visible error. Is there a way for me to see an error, if one occurs?

I tried a couple of things, not sure which worked.
1) Downloaded and ran an app call Bluetooth Fix Repair.
2) Rebooted phone, deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone. (do not think this fixed the issue.)
3) Later deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone after pairing car, went into Settings => Applications => Running Services and stopped the Bluetooth Dunning program.
4) deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone.
5) i didnt get a chance to test until today and Ive got text messages in my BMW Office from this past week.
WOW !!!!! NOW WORKING !!!!!
Now a question, how to delete "text messages" from BMW Office?

Guess whats working after JB update
Hello,
I had lost the bluetooth interface of SMS and email to BMW after the ICS software update.
But guess what is workiing AGAIN after i did the JB update (and the most recent BMW software update).

I have a Sprint S3, and it will pair to my car stereo just fine, but it keeps disconnecting. Once paired, there is option boxes for "Call audio" and "Media audio"
It seems like if I turn one option on, it disables the other, and vice versa. Every time I start the car, the pairing is out of whack and I have to start over, enabling whichever one I want, and after a few times it works. I did get both to work one time, but as soon I turned car off then on, it was broken again.
My old phones have never had a problem connecting both Call and Media to my car, so I am concerned it is an issue with the S3.
I have 2010 Nissan Altima with the upgraded stereo. I have removed all previously paired devices so only the s3 shows up. I have removed and re-added the s3 several times. I have renamed the car's bluetooth name several times as well.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue, or can you test it with your car audio systems and let me know if it works for you?
Let me know if there some information I should provide to better understand the issue.
Thanks,
Rob
Hey robmtx, this might help you out. Theres an app in the market called bluetooth fix repair.
I had the same issue with my last two droids (1 and 3), and this solved the dropped connections. good luck
Thanks.
I'll give that a try.
I've also been reading how this might be more of an ICS issue than a device issue. It appears there are similar discussions in other device threads. I'll keep researching and also try this app.
I used my S3 in a rented car a view days ago and paired it with the installed Ford car stereo.
I played MP3 via Bluetooth and made some calls via Bluetooth. It all worked flawless. I also did not see any checkboxes for "call audio" or "media audio".
When I left the car and came back later it connected automatically. So I guess the problem is not a general problem.
this happens on mine as well from stock XALE8 to the latest XALF5. i went ahead and posted on samsung's FB page..but doubt we'll get a response
by the way, ive had this same issue whether im connecting to a bluetooth 2.0 or bluetooth 3.0 headset/car kit.
Right I might know the answer to this as I had the same problem as few weeks ago.
If you have Facebook, twitter, whatsapp or anything like this best thing is to get rid of them if you don't want to go to your accounts and sync on your phone and untick the sync with contacts on any of the apps you have installed.
Then go to call log and clear your call history.
Delete the bluetooth pairing turn the phone off and back on, repair with the car, mine has worked perfectly since I did this.

yes this is your firmware version. settings > about > build number > I9300XXALF5. this is the most current. stock should be I9300XXALE8. under baseband version is your modem (which should contain the drivers for your 3G radio/bluetooth/wifi (i think)

bluetooth bug
I have a strange problem with my bluetooth audio...I have a Denso radio in my Ford Mondeo and the nightmare starts whan I connect phone via bluetooth to it. Phone some time don´t wake up from sleep. The only way how to solve (partialy) this is to reset phone (long press of power button). Then phone connect perfectly and everything is working like a charm. This problem I had on every rom I´ve tried yet
Every other phone I´ve had before didn´t suffer such prblems (galaxy note, evo 3d...)
Somebody could help? I don´t know what to do...
Same Issue
I'm having the exact same issue with my SG3 (Stock, not rooted *yet*). The initial pair works great - phone and audio sync. Once I shut the car off and back on again, the Phone connection does not automatically initiate and I have to manually connect it on my head unit. I'm driving a 2013 Mazda CX5. It's not my headunit since both my HTC Inspire 4G and HTC One X connect without issue. Another annoyance is the lack of song titles or other ID3 info on screen. Even my old Inspire had that!
My connection is great, but I am having an issue with tags. I'm using PowerAmp, but my Alpine unit displays the wrong song info - it automatically uses the default app. Is there any way to fix this?

So far I'm still in the same boat. I rooted today and used a market app called "Bluetooth fix" so next time I'm in the car I'll see if it fixed the issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300 for a couple of weeks now and I love it, other than the fact that I keep having a strange issue with the Bluetooth connection with my carkit. I've been searching forums for similar issues and I found a variety of carkit related problems, but none of the ones I found describe the same problem as what I'm having:
- Initially the Bluetooth connection works fine and I can play music or make a call through the carkit just fine
- When I switch off the car's systems and don't use any apps on the phone in the meanwhile, and then start the car's systems again, it establishes the Bluetooth connection just fine again
- When I switch off the car's systems and I use other apps for a while and then start the car again, it won't work. Bluetooth does appear to connect, but after that it just doesn't play ball. When I try to play a song at this point, the phone shows the song is playing, but neither the phone nor the car audio produces any sound
So anyway, every morning before leaving to work and every evening before going home, I reboot my phone first. Then I step into the car and it establishes the Bluetooth connection just fine. But if I don't reboot the phone first, it just won't work. Now I guess I could setup a tasker profile to automatically reboot the phone, but I'd rather just get the problem fixed.
I run a Galaxy S3 I9300 with stock Android 4.1.1, rooted. I have already tried to run the "Bluetooth Fix Repair" app and afterwards had to pair the phone with the carkit again, but that made no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump*
Some additional info:
This issue has now also happened a few times while driving. While music (through Spotify) was playing over the bluetooth carkit, it would sometimes just stop working when I opened a different app (like for example opening an SMS). Spotify was still running (and the song was still ongoing) and also the bluetooth connection still showed as being connected, but it just wouldn't produce any sound anymore.
Anyway, it seems clear to me that this is a bluetooth issue, but I have no idea how I can troubleshoot this beyond what I've already done.
I would be happy to pay whoever can fix this problem..
With an issue like you are describing it may be helpful to list the headunit model too. I do not own an S3 but I have a multimedia headunit (Pioneer AVH P4400BH) and have found that toggling my Bluetooth on and off will help the headunit to see the Bluetooth on my Android device. This may not resolve your issue though.
Another thing to consider, your headunit may have an update-able firmware. That said if your headunit does have an update-able firmware I would check out the procedure, ensure there is a way to roll back to your current firmware and try that. If your headunit was purchased at an electronics or and audio retailer you may wish to speak with them. Your issue may not be with your phone but with your headunit, but this should help as far as troubleshooting since your issue involves multiple devices.

Good point. It does have an SD card slot, but as far as I know that's only to update the maps of the navigation system. I'll see if I can figure that out.
Thanks for the tips!
By the way - I do think that it's unlikely that the carkit itself is the troublemaker. Especially because opening an SMS on my phone can trigger the whole thing to stop working (it doesn't happen every time, but it did happen several times). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It is in fact very possible that it is your phone, but wanted to throw it out there that bluetooth headunits can be troublesome on their own. Now I am not familiar with your headunit, but does it save bluetooth IDs? Like on my headunit and many other aftermarket headunits, it will save 3 bluetooth devices. If it does, have you tried clearing other devices and moving your S3 to the top? Odd as it sounds this has made a difference for me. Also do you have other bluetooth devices in the car, such as the 3GS you mentioned?
Also a logcat of this happening would be beneficial. If you do not know how to pull a logcat there is an app on the market called catlog or alogcat. Both are free and are invaluable in troubleshooting a ROM issue. In short it tells a developer what is going on as far as events being triggered or failures within the ROM.

Yeah I had read that too in some other thread (I went through just about every bluetooth related thread I could find, before I posted this topic). Mine saves up to 5. It didn't have anything in there except for my previous phone, which I had cleared. I also tried re-pairing the S3 several times, that didn't make any difference either.
Now, I just read somewhere that some people are having disconnection issues on the same carkit. In their case, in the end the problem turned out to be that their carkit will import all of their contacts from their phone (so you can call people even while your phone is in your pocket), and this would cause trouble when there are contacts without a phone number associated with it (just like my thousands of Exchange contacts). The people in question are talking about random disconnects though, whereas in my case it happens after doing some stuff on my phone. So it's probably unrelated, but I'll give that a try anyway just to rule it out. I just need to figure out a way to stop the carkit from importing contacts, because removing thousands of email contacts is obviously not an option.
I'll keep this topic updated with any progress. If anyone has any other ideas, please keep em coming. Thanks for the help so far!

Didn't think of that, great tip, thank you! I do run the stock ROM by the way.

It reads a file that is being constantly updated (which happens to be the logcat file). Typically I will clear it right before doing what it took to cause the failure, like in your case in your car with the bluetooth on.
I've got Audi with BT and S3 with custom rom and I've got similar problems with BT. It connects automatically but if I switch off BT in phone and switch it on again - it doesn't connect any more. I had this since I bought a phone and it was on all ROMs I used.

Yep - I have that too. The weird thing is that in that situation the phone does seem to think it is connected, while it really isn't. Just to be clear: this is not the only way to cause this issue (because it also happens when trying to reconnect the Bluetooth while on the phone it hasn't been disabled in the meanwhile).
So far I haven't been able to pull anything related from the logcat.
Also, while reading up on common bluetooth issues, I came across some posts of people who were saying that some phone/carkit combinations are having trouble with 2-way communication (because I can stream music from the phone to the carkit, but I can also change a song using the carkit or initiate a phonecall from the carkit). I'm going to try to only use communication initiated from the phone, and see whether that makes any difference. In the meanwhile: does anyone happen to know anything about 2-way communication issues with bluetooth, and how to overcome such issues?
Update:
- Updated carkit to latest firmware. No change, still same problem
- Have not been able to capture anything unusual in the logs
- I have a Bose Soundlink now, which is a wireless speaker. Whenever my S3 is connected to the Soundlink (with bluetooth), wifi doesn't work. Upon turning off bluetooth, wifi instantly works fine again. So this definitely confirms this is a problem with bluetooth on the phone, not on the carkit.
- Wanted to upgrade to Android 4.1.2 but Samsung won't let me, as it says the device is modified (rooted). Triangle away isn't helping. Damn you, Samsung. This is *the* reason I moved away from Apple, as I don't like companies who don't let you use your stuff any way you like. And now Samsung is moving down the same route. Idiots. Anyway, I guess the only option left, is to start using a custom ROM.
Does anyone happen to have experience in terms of solving bluetooth problems by using a custom ROM? I'm thinking of using Cyanogenmod 10.1
In the meanwhile I have upgraded to Android 4.1.2: still the same problem.
I have also discussed this matter with quite a few other Samsung smartphone owners, and all of them appear to be having the same issue. Most of them just don't seem to be bothered to spend time on looking for a fix.
Also, I have figured out that this problem is specific to media streaming. I'm able to use my phone on the carkit for calls at any time, without having to reboot first. Only when I try to listen to music, the problem occurs.
Anyway, I have ruled out that this problem is specific to me or my devices - this appears to be a global issue. So I'm completely puzzled as to why there's not a lot more fuss going on about this.
If anyone has any more suggestions for a resolution of this problem, please share.
S3 bluetooth connection problem
Had the same problem with my S3 and renault megane III handsfree bluetooth system.(Arkamsys software version 2.2.0.19 auditorium)
I downgraded to 4.0.4 baseband I9300CELH1 (stock) and problem seems fixed
hope this helps.
Hi Bennes,
Thank you for your response.
I'm still dealing with this problem myself. All upgrades so far haven't made a difference. So far, I've been able to figure out that if I first initiate a phonecall, after hanging up, the audio streaming works (while before the phonecall it usually wouldn't). This works about 8 out of 10 times (the other 2 times it doesn't make a bluetooth connection at all). So what I've done, is to use Tasker and to automatically make it call my own phone number whenever bluetooth gets connected to the carkit, and hanging up after 3 seconds. But this is obviously far from ideal.
Do you know whether it is possible to change the baseband version without changing the firmware version? I wouldn't like to downgrade to an older firmware version, as I like the new features in the newer versions. I do also prefer to stick with the stock firmware, but that's not a requirement.

mmm, don`t know about baseband only. Try google.
I have read that after downgrade to 4.0.4 and then upgrade again to latest stock version, bluetooth connection keeps working.
I cannot confirm this as i am still on 4.0.4, but will get an update of the arkamsys radio to the latest renault firmware version next week and then start experimenting again. i will report back once i have new results

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...

Hello there.
I am using the X since a few weeks. It is a damm nice phone. perfect size, brilliant display and the rest of the specs is cool too.
But:
I can connect it with my car. I can get calls in the car using the audio + mic from the car. But I cant use the phonebook. And so I cant see who is calling or even use the carphonebook for dialing a number or use favs.
BT itself is working: I already transfered e.g. contacts via BT from my old phone. The UP MOVE is synching.
I also tried it on an BMW F20 - same problems.
In other forums ( e.g. oneplus ) I found some other persons with the same problem. They "solved" it by buying an app calles "Bluetooth Phonebook". It seems that the app will add/replace/change some BT Profiles.... It seems that there is an profile missing: PBA, PBAP Phonebook Access Profile.
If this is so, it will mean that OnePlus is not finished with the Oxygen 2.2.0.
The offical support can´t answer this question to me
Questions:
Can someone tell me how to check if this profile is on my phone?
If not present - how can I add it by myself?
Any other helpfull ideas?
Bluetooth Phonebook app is the easiest option.
Or i believe BT works with cyanogenmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one.../rom-cyanogenmod-13-x-oneplus-x-onyx-t3279784
I would not rely on Oneplus to fix it as the problem still exists in the Oneplus 2 and thats been out even longer than the Oneplus X.
Workaround
I also have the exact same issue with my 2015 BMW. BT connection for calls work stable but contacts are only synced partially. My solution was to again and again delete and re-connect my OPX until in one instance all contacts were available in the cars phonebook. I then stored all important contacts into the cars phonebook so that they are always present independently from the connected phone. Not ideal but a workaround.
The issue for the OP2 was solved with the latest OTA update. So hopes are that OPX will receive the same fix...
I also have the same problem with Seat Léon St.
According to OnePlus community on Google+, this issue has been solved with the last update of OnePlus 2.
I already contacted OnePlus Support on Twitter but they cannot confirm.

I had a similar problems. With my OPT and OPX with My 208 GTi. Using Bluetooth Phone book from the play store was the easiest option.
Sent from my OnePlus X USO g Tapatalk
+1 BMW e71 2012 / Ford Kuga 2015. Bluetooth phone book solved both, although Ford sync took a couple of attempts.
Something that oneplus needs to sort. Shouldn't need to pay to get this basic functionality
That's a known bug on OxygenOS from loooooonnnggg time ago, it was finally solved on OP2 in the last update so, it must also be fixed on OPX in the nest update...
On CM12 \ CM13, etc, it works great with all car bluetooth systems...
at the moment i am still in contact with the OP Support Team.
They are still NOT commenting the missing BT profile in Oxygen.
The App "BT Phonebook" is realy working. So imho its a missing basic feature of OP and has to be fixed.
Yesterday I got an OS update on my OPx but in the readme was nothing mentioned about BT
This is probably not what you guys are looking for but i had the same problem with my sony headunit no contact names would display just the phone numbers. I have since installed custom rom CM13 by ashwin and everything is working contacts display names and i can search people to call through the stereo settings etc.
Indeed. I don't really want to flash but my wife was connected to my car with her OnePlus One within the minute and streamed Spotify... So yes, this is not we really want but at the end, OxygenOS is a bit bugged
I have the same problem with my 2011 Mazda 6. Bluetooth Phonebook did NOT solve this issue for me...
