Hey guys
Strange issue here. I paired my phone with my car through Bluetooth to make and receive calls using the car audio system. It works well.
However, if I fire Google Navigation, I can't here the spoken instructions through either the phone speaker or the car speakers.
I was not expecting navigation audio to be routed through Bluetooth audio, but I did expect the navigation instructions to come out of the phone speaker, as it does on the nexus one or the vibrant both running Android 2.2.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks

did you flash a new kernel or anything because the kernel in the dev thread is known to break bluetooth
if it does this stock out of the box try doing a system restore and then take it back if its still acting up because bluetooth should turn on
yea i used the pkg one that had SU etc on it. Suppose Ill have to flash back to stock arg.
just so peeps know with the bt issue flashing this fixed

Locking up slash rebooting while streaming bluetooth audio
Anyone else experiencing any sort of lockups rebooting streaming bluetooth audio. It seems like I can only get about 10 to 15 minutes streaming audio before the phone becomes completely unresponsive won't power on or anything

Bluetooth doesn't stream audio to car - what's your experience
I've got a Ford Edge with the new Ford MyTouch/Sync system.
The Nexus S connects to the Bluetooth just fine; makes and receives calls perfectly. It will also connect to the Bluetooth Audio Stream for music playback, but won't play the audio over the car's speakers. Also, sometimes it connects, holds the connection for just a few seconds and then disconnects. My SGS and Nexus One work as expected, as does the iPhone, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the car.
Seems like a bug in the NS to me.
I'm curious if others are streaming audio/music to their auto's BT system without issues?
It would be especially nice to know what anyone else with a new Ford/Lincoln is experiencing, but I'd also like to compile a list of what cars work and what don't.
I'm going to have to find some other BT device that I can test the stream on to see if my phone works with it or not. Maybe my Nexus One dock? I've never used that to stream audio even with the Nexus One.
In terms of troubleshooting my problem, I've already rebooted the phone and the car, un-paired and re-paired the phone with the car.
I've got a Mazda RX8 R3 and the NS will pair with the in-built car BT but drops the connection after a few minutes. It then refuses to connect again unless I re-pair, then a few minutes later it drops and we're back to square one.
The car's in-built BT worked fine with my HTC Desire, Hero, iPhone 3G and Blackberry 9700 so I'm guessing the Nexus S has a Bluetooth issue.
Mine works fine on my aftermarket Sony receiver.
having issues with bluetooth audio too, stream keeps breaking every now and then. Any fixes?
I've only streamed to the car stereo and had no issues. The phone is only about 10cms away.
Haven't tried my BT headphones yet, maybe range is the issue.

tried placing the phone right next the the BT reciever and same problem. Only tried this once, maybe I'll try rebooting the phone.
no problem here
using Bionix 1.2
You're lucky, I can't even get BT music streaming to work with my car. No other BT devices to check with besides my Nexus One dock, which has no speakers.
BT works great for the phone, though, to make and receive calls.
Problem with Bluetooth
I cant get to work bluetooth on Nexus S.
When i enable it and try to send something from SGS to Nexus S it says me "This tranfer was canceled by the user" (Nexus S)
SGS says "Remote device rejected your request"
When i try send something from Nexus S, but use not function Send, i use function Bluetooth - it says me "The application Bluetooth Share (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I tried factory reset, wipe cache, tried flash any other roms, but got NOTHING helpt me. I have this problem on 2 phones (2xNS).
Can someone give me files of BlueTooth share? (com.android.bluetooth)
That's an interesting problem you have. Mine did the same thing transfering from my computer to my NS. I just tried it again when I read your post (to make completely sure what the error was) and it has automagically fixed its self.
Well, seems i need a file \system\app\bluetooth.apk

Anyone else seeing some odd behavior with bluetooth pairings? I keep on having to re-pair with my laptop (Win 7 64x) and my car (Audi S4). Complete pain.
I use it with my computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my Motorola bluetooth headset, no problems since I first paired each (sometime in July).
I have the same issue at times....quite frustrating and I have found no way to stop it from happening....
Yep. I get this too. My only fix has been to turn off my plantronics earpiece and when turned back on it connects.

I am JH3 as well, FWIW. Dunno if JF6 gave me the same problem. I now have 3 of the same device in my Win7 BT folder. I also remember seeing the BT settings reverting to old ones.
Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.

I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.
More Info
While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.
In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.
For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.
If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.
Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.
My rom is stock.
The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.
There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.
I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...
I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.
Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.
So I of course love my Thunderbolt, but I have one issue I can't seem to fix. My phone connects to my trucks headunit over Bluetooth for talk and audio. Once I start Pandora or the native music app, about 20 seconds later the phone says "Bluetooth Headset Disconnected" and thats that. Anyone else having this issue and are there any known fixes yet?
this just started happening to me after using BT successfully for months. i have tried pairing and repairing. initial pair connects headset and media, but after a few seconds i see the message headset disconnected.... the media profile is still paired but not headset.
any ideas?
thanks,
eric
i have this issue as well, but i'm running bamf 1.6.2... i wasn't going to say anything itll i was on CM again (it did work when i was on CM previously)
Try unpairing, then repairing - this time deny any requests to let your car access the TB's phonebook via bluetooth. That solved it for me.
happens to me every once in a while.
stock
no root.
i have to turn bt off and then back on and it reconnects without issue.
I just would like to quickly check if anyone has the car Bluetooth pairing issue for Nexus 5 and anyone has a solution for that? Thanks.
My wife and I both received the latest Nexus 5 from Google 1 week ago. I have rooted and installed the DroidKang v14 Xmas Edition and Google APK package and also installed the Mod fixing the volume issue. Everything looks fine until we try to pair the nexus 5 to my 2013 honda Accord LX.
the Honda HandsFreeLink Stereo found my Nexus. It connected. However, the stereo disconnects and reconnects repeatedly, with the phone displaying the message, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.bluetooth has stopped." I tried to reboot the phone and also play around the Bluetooth function, the error still come out. It looks like that the error will happen every time when the car Bluetooth tryes to import or read call history or contact info from the phone. So I changed Car Bluetooth setting and disable syncing info from phone. Now the connection does not drop and I could hear the music in car from phone. However, I lose the most function for Car Bluetooth because I cannot see call history directly on car system.
Even the Bluetooth connection stables after we disable syncing function. The bluetooth connection will fail again when we walk back from retailer store to the car. the reconnection will disconnect and reconnect again and again. it is so crazy and unusable.
I do not know if this issue is related to the phone hardware or the CM ROM. I have not tried other ROM but at least I know my old HTC phone and samsung phone seamlessly connected to this Honda Car Bluetooth system. There is no any issue. So I think the issue is related to Nexus 5 or this ROM.
I will try to do more research on this. in the meantime, if anyone has the same experience or a solution for that, please let me know. Thanks.

Definitely the CM ROM. I have a Nexus 4, and since upgrading from CM 10.2 to 11, I've been experiencing intermittent BT dropouts with my Pioneer car stereo that I've never experienced before.

i have the same issue with my Mercedes A bluetooth connection. it's very annoying. I am running CM11 nightly of yesterday....so far only 1 cm nightly worked....I think is was 14-12-2013.....I wish there was a way to revert to this only with the bluetooth part.....so far...no solution
I have a Honda with Honda link. I have that problem when I have the read sms feature on the car enabled. If I turn it off then it works fine. I use it daily for a 50 minute drive each way to work.
I don't ever use the call history on the car, but the voice call works fine. And of course streaming music, which is mostly what I do with it.

Whenever I connect my phone by Bluetooth to my car's stereo, only the front speakers work, nothing from the 2 rear speakers. I've tried adjusting the fade and checking settings in poweramp but still nothing. I'm not sure if this would be an issue with my phone, the ROM, or the car audio system. I'm thinking it's an issue with the car's audio but I figured I'd ask here in case somebody else has had the same issue. I am on liquid smooth 3.0 April 24th build with elemental x kernel but I had the same issue with my galaxy s4

I have no problem with nexus 5 and my car Bluetooth connectivity.
Make sure that your audio system, GPS and make and model are compatible with the bluetooth from the phone. Some other connectivity issues are that the car kit cannot decode the Bluetooth device that it is trying to connect. This decode means that the system cannot recognize the name. This is a frequent problem when devices have been upgraded. While your system may have worked fine before, upgrades can cause problems because the compatibility all of a sudden changes. This is an issue that has not really been addressed by the manufacturers.
Another frequent problem that can occur is that the Bluetooth will connect but then it will not stay connected and only one speaker is running,. Many times this can be a hardware issue.
So the bluetooth device can connect but it does not work properly. In this case there is an issue with the stereo connection to the Bluetooth unit. There is nothing actually wrong with the bluetooth or devices but this is a software issue. To fix it see if the manufacturer is offering any updates. If one person has had the issue then you can bet that many people will have the problem. This is a problem with the car kit software as no matter which phone or earpiece you use the audio will not play from the speakers. Check that the vehicle supports bluetooth audio as some only will support bluetooth phone calls. These are 2 very different things.
Most of the time, look into the settings for the bluetooth and the car system. If the car battery should die then the system may reset to the defaults. This means that all of the current settings will be lost and need to be reset. Not only will you need to check the settings in the car system but also in your phone or other bluetooth device. In order to correct the bluetooth settings the device will need to be connected to the computer.

I have an aftermarket Kenwood double DIN deck with Bluetooth 2.1. It connects perfectly fine, shows up with Nexus 5 when pairing, shows the song title, shows the name of the person calling... It works great when plugged in through the aux port, but of course doesn't show me any information that way. When I had the S4 it showed up as SGH-M919. It stays connected just fine and I had it playing for a while before I tried turning up the volume and noticed it didn't sound right and figured out the rear speakers weren't playing.
I just checked and noticed there is a somewhat recent update on Kenwood's site but it was still about 3 weeks before I bought the deck... I'll try doing that though. (edit) just checked again and the update isn't for my model, there's no software for it
Thank you for answering since I'm pretty sure now that it's a problem with the stereo and nothing to do with Android lol
Kind of embarrassed to admit it but...I did have Car Toys install it so... they probably didn't do a very great job. I knew I should have had either Best Buy do it or tracked down a friend that could do it. Oh well
While driving bluetooth stops or some time lag voice if wifi is on. same issue noticed without wifi enable also but very less.
It seems whenever wifi changes to different network or connects or disconnects bluetooth is loosing or lagging voice.
Where as if i put it on speaker i can hear sound from speaker. I tried 5-6 different bluetooth and having same issue. i got replacement of phone also but same issue with new phone also. I could verify with older phone and it seems issue is only with Idol 3. Is any one else facing similar issue?
I tested this using a Bluetooth headset, and I am unable to replicate it. Turning WiFi on and off has no noticeable effect on playback via a the Bluetooth headset. Unfortunately , I have no way to test this while driving .

This issue is mainly happening while driving. It seems like while driving phone tries to goes from LTE to different modes and same with wifi as it tries to connect to different wifi. In this process it starts to lags voice on bluetooth and in few cases sound get disconnected.
Are you listening to music on your phone or streaming?
I haven't had any issues while driving using both Google music and slacker. Those are the only two streaming apps i use tho. I leave my Wi-Fi on all day. My deck is a Bluetooth pioneer unit, though the model number escapes me at the moment. I'm on T-Mobile BTW.
I don't drive anymore but I stream Rhapsody overnight onto my BT speakers and it never has conked out on me yet. There was one time I did lose the BT connection to the speakers before I did the factory reset but no issues with the BT since.
Issue is not with listenting music, it is during call through bluetooth while driving and having wifi and bluetooth both on.
OK I'll test that later on today. How often/with what frequency does it happen to you?

Almost 2 out of 3 attempts i am having this issue. even now in home i started call on bluetooth when wifi was off, then just put wifi one during call and voice from bluetooth started to get blurry and then other party could not hear me. and i had to disable wifi and then disable bluetooth and then on bluetooth again in phone.
Seems like issue is happening when phone is trying to connect to wifi and call is on bluetooth...

I do not have Netflix - but I tested with HBO Go - and YouTube - with airplane mode , WiFi and Bluetooth - And I am not seeing any audio lag - or audio interruption when switching from speakers to Bluetooth mid session. I am using Arctic P253BT headphones.
Alright I did a call today. It was only 5 minutes long but didn't notice anything. I'll try doing what you did starting a call in my driveway and turn WiFi on/off repeatedly at various time intervals.
I got replacement, but i can still see the issue with new phone also...

Sorry, my testing is put on hold as I had to send the device in to get a new screen (cracked). I couldn't get it done before because my wife kept stealing my car

It's possible the bluetooth is unreliable because the phone gets busy as you indicated...I posted a couple of apps in the idol 3 apps section that help reduce lag and may help this...
Something I've done has made my bluetooth totally unreliable....whether linked to car or home phone system I can answer...talk for a few seconds and then it transfers the call back to the cell instead of the bluetooth device. I'll have to go back through my backups and find a version that doesn't do this.
I have demonstrated the same effect with my bt device (lg). When switching wifi networks bt microphone stop receiving so other party cannot hear me and the audio begins to break up and lag. I can switch off bt then back on and am fine till next wifi switchover. I was hoping the update from Alcatel would address this, was not the case. ;(
I also had the same kind of issue while listening music in car using Bluetooth, strangely it is happening when the WiFi try to connect to open WiFi available. And when that open WiFi is not able give internet accesses, then the phone just get stuck for some time. I have these issues frequently I need to restart my phone
I just purchase Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 and and am having similar problem. I had a Plantronics M50 connected and people complained that I was breaking up and they couldn't hear me and it happened on my end sometimes too. When I'm calling someone, the ring will be normal at the beginning of the ring and then it will fad out at the end of the ring. Store rep told me this was normal. Has never done it with any of my other phones. Bought another bluetooth to try to determine if it was the bluetooth or the phone. Bought the Plantronics E50 and the same thing happens. Alcatel says it's the bluetooth and Plantronics says it's the phone. Betty at Alcatel also says the Plantronics bluetooth are not compatible with the Alcatel, however, the store sells the Plantronics Marque II to use with the Alcatel. Anyone have any suggestions or having the same problem?
I'm having the problem in car on bluetooth where the caller sounds like they are underwater and garbled and I'm told I do too. It comes and goes, very frustrating. I tested another Android and no problem.

There's a problem with the phone. It happened after the last Android update. My bluetooth was fine until marshmallow. It's so bad I went back to my Galaxy S4. I loved the Idol for just about everything, but horrible bluetooth. People can't hear you, it's a deal breaker.
