I'm not sure when these problems started (which ROM or version or even which phone) but it's pretty consistent now. I have a Jabra Cruiser that doesn't connect regularly. If it doesn't connect I have to re-pair the device to my SGS4G (currently Valhalla-Black Edition). Often it doesn't pair the first or second or third time, which sort of defeats any safety benefits as I am fumbling with the phone and speaker while I drive.
So what I am wondering is the following:
Is anyone using this device successfully and consistently with the SGS4G?
Are there settings to clear for Bluetooth pairings that might help?
Is there a Bluetooth speakerphone for the car that people like?

Hi ppl,
I'm having issues with bluetooth on mytouch4g phone.
To connect it to hands free set I have to every time turn off and then turn on bluetooth on my phone.
Anyone have similar issue?
Is there a setting somewhere to set default device?
Thanks
Do you mean "Hands free mode" or do you mean pairing a stereo BT headset?
With the stock OS -- "Hands free mode" can be set by either 1) starting the Car Dock application, or 2) Using the BT headset phone button or the Genius button to enable speech commands, and saying "Hands Free On" once the phone is ready.
With the stock OS -- pairing of the phone occurs automatically whether the phone or headset is powered up first. Pairing of media (for stereo headsets) will only occur automatically with any degree of regularity -- from experimentation and observation by others, reported on forums like this -- if the phone's BT is powered up =after= the headset. One can manually disable and enable media connectivity after long pressing on the device in the BT settings window, and that will establish the media connection -- but it is probably easier to have a BT power toggle on your home page somewhere.
If neither of these answers the question you were asking, please rephrase it. And of course, for a custom ROM (non-stock OS), ask in the appropriate ROM's thread in the development subforum.
I mean bluetooth at car. I'm able to pair my phone with car and connect with no issues.
If I get into the car with my phone and bt on - it will not establish connection. I have to turn off bt on the phone and turn it back on. Then it will establish connection. It works fine with my old Fuze.

i have the same exact problem except i can't use any of the bt features on my car.

any help would be greatly appreciated
OK, so I am curious as to whether or not anyone else is having issues with the A2DP performance on this guy. When it works its great, sounds pretty good for BT. But here are two issues I have found.
When playing music over bluetooth, get/make a call it switches to handsfree fine, but when is switches back it the music clips on and off.
2nd. It seems to only pair with one A2DP device. I have a blackberry bluetooth gateway which works great. But when I pair it to my pioneer head unit, it only connects to the hands free profile, not A2DP. My deck works fine on all my other devices. I have to delete both pairings, reboot, and re-pair.
Idk but are they Bluetooth 4.0 compatible?
Hey,
So I do not have my HOX yet but your problem reminds me of another issue with bluetooth on some other phones.
Try this when you set up your pairings make sure you pair it FIRST whit the device you want to do A2DP streaming on (probably your head unit) then set it up with any other devices. Some times some phones or bluetooth head units will only connect A2DP with the first devices that it is paired with (what is some times considered the primary device).
Also when it cuts out on your rather than messing with your phone shut off your head unit or BT mount for like 15 seconds and turn it back on. Also toggle it off on your phone then toggle it on after the units are powered up. I had that bug with music after a call happen a lot in the past but it turned out it was my BT unit on my visor (it needed a firmware update) but still shutting it off would usually fix it.
EDIT
Also see if you can update the firmware on your BT units. If the phone is using 4.0 and they are using 3.0 there could be some comparability issues.
I have issues with my bluetooth also. Sometimes it just won't connect to my car's bluetooth. Usually it seems like it happens when it connects then i turn off the car, then when i go back in the car(like running in to the store real quick then coming back out) and it wont' reconnect unless I restart the phone. Not sure what the problem is.
Hi everyone,
I am an owner of the GSIII I747M and the ASUS Transformer, both running ICS. I recently had this idea (fantasy?) where I mount the Transformer in my car, hook it up to the car speakers and basically use it as my in-car infotainment system instead of the headunit that's in there. Nothing wrong with my in-car headunit (except the fact that I can't get bluetooth to work with my GSIII), but the tablet will give me tons more features. When I enter the car, I want the tablet to automatically tether to my phone via wi-fi and via bluetooth. Wi-fi is for internet access and it works just fine. The bluetooth is for the hands-free profile, so that when I receive a call, the music/navigation/whatever gets interrupted and I can take the call. I also want to be able to dial from the tablet.
When I connect the two devices via bluetooth, I don't have a hands-free profile; indeed I have no useful profiles at all. My question is simple: is there an app for that? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
TabletTalk will let you answer/make calls on your tablet so long as it's pair to your phone and you're on a bt headset. It also handle your phone's SMS.
AutoTether can automatically tether your tablet to your phone hotspot.
Thanks, but that's not quite what I was like for. I won't be texting and driving, even on a tablet. I'm looking to use my tablet as a BT headset. I can pipe my output to the car's speakers and the tablet has a mic, so I can use it to talk on the phone while driving. Is there an app that can do that?
That would be awesome!
Let me know if you figure it out
I'm looking to do the same thing... Maybe it's time to learn how to code for Android. I've done some interfacing with BT at the driver level before but it was back before BT even officially came out, so there was not a Handsfree Profile ;-)
I couldn't find an app or anything that does this, so I think I'm SOL until someone makes an app with this capability.
I read through all the threads and did not see this one. I can't connect to the Android head unit in my truck with the Pixel. It worked fine with the 5x on Nougat 7.0 but not the Pixel. I have reset them both to no avail. I read today that it is a known issue with 7.1 that Google is addressing "Google's new phone is having trouble pairing or staying connected to Bluetooth in many cars" but worried since I did not see it on here maybe its my phone. Plus my head unit is essentially an Android tablet in the dash. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have mine connected to my 2006 Charger Uconnect without any problems. It sounds wonderful and does not disconnect. I have also connected it with several wireless speaker without any issues.
Sometimes rebooting the phone temporarily fixes bluetooth connections issues.
Has any experienced no ring-back tones when doing an outgoing call when connected to a Bluetooth headset device but making the call from the phone? It only stated occurring(I think) with the November release. I am on Verizon.
It appears the phone does switch to handset speaker until the call is connected. Very annoying for me as I use an in house Bluetooth device that connects to my in house phone.
There are known issues with Bluetooth connections and vehicles. See this thread from the product forums:

Coming from the Galaxy S8, I was kind of disappointed to find that the Pixel 2 apparently only connects to one Bluetooth device at once. For example the phone will only connect to my car but not my headset at the same time as the S8 did. I like having that because when you don't want to take calls on the car speaker you can just send the calls to the headset without much issue. Is there anyway to get the phone to connect to multiple devices? Any mods that are available to get it working?

I've not figured out a way. In fact, as of the 8.1 update it made my bluetooth worse. When I connect to a BT device, rather its my headphones at the gym, or my car, I have to dial something and hit "dial" on my dialer. When I do that it makes the hangining up sound and then is free to be used for other things. Quite frustrating, really. :crying:
I had my p2 connected to an aftermarket head unit in my vehicle and set it to media only, connected to my Bluetooth ear piece for calls and shared my internet via Bluetooth to my PS vita at the same time. You just have to play with settings for each device.

I have wondered if its an issue with a mismatch between the two bluetooth devices.
It looks like this has been addressed somewhat in Android P. I am running the beta that was released yesterday and the device is now connecting to multiple bluetooth devices. There is a quirk that requires you to go into the bluetooth menu to change the current active device (Think it might have been like that on the Galaxy too) but it does maintain the connection to multiple devices now. It does automatically switch when you turn off one of the devices, such as your car, so this is definitely progress on this front I think.
