Issue for me is car bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like every minute, the whole thing just does not work properly.
BUT SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY ROM< I MEAN ANY.
Just plug your phone to a charger in the car and thats it. it prevents deep sleep and it will not drain you battery as it's charging.
!!!Suggestion, if you have a usb slot in the car, use it to charge the phone, as cigarette lighter charger most likely will create a wake lock that will prevent your phone going to DP after you exit the car.
Res.
I appreciate all your efforts.
I'm one of those with bluetooth issues only on UCLD2 when connecting to my JVC car stereo to play Pandora or other Internet radio. I have not tested or used MP3 stuff.
I tried Mohans ROM, then update, then the beats audio, then the UCALC4 kernel. All in that order, testing each time. None worked for me.
Thanks though
I've also tried the bluetooth fixes 1 & 2 from Seanz's ROM from last week. Have not tried the 10 version yet. But some others are saying it didn't resolve this particular issue either.

I got it to work and then it stooped again, then got it to work again so it seems to be ok right now.
I will post more detailed instructions in about an hour please check back.

Yep, U10 does not work on my phone. I just don't want to take away anything from Sean as he does great work, so can't say 100% it does not work, it just does not for me in this case.
I believe you are correct on the culprit being the music player.
I have been on Sean's Roms (update 9 for a few weeks and then upgraded to 10 whenever it came out). I stream to a Ford Sync system (2010) and I have not had any problems. 10, in particular, seems great. I use the phone handsfree via bt and stream music (Slacker radio) to and fro work. Also been using btooth inside the house to stream Slacker to a speaker system. No problems there either. But I have NOT used the music player app at all...

See I am scared to think it's FORD soft. that is the problem, as that would be so much harder to fix, they just came up with an update and new one is not coming. And it worked on Sean's ROM up until Update 7, which base of his are you using the GMAIL/no limit or exchange server one?
Also it has something to do with Music Player or files on the Leak, as sometimes it messes with USB input music and cant read the USB, and I disconnect the phone ant USB starts working.
Have you received a USB from FORD recently to update the software?

Interesting Find:

It supports KJ2, so maybe ICS is a problem(( But at the same time it supports ICS on other devices.

I think the usb update mailed for Ford is for later models (or mine hasn't arrived yet). For the 2010 there was only one update showing (Sync My Ride) and it was already installed when I purchased the truck.
No question the Ford Sync is "twitchy". My former phone (Atrix) would disconnect the btooth intermittently when streaming Slacker and would skip, often. I haven not (knock on wood) had these problems and I use the steering wheel control to skip songs.

yea my Edge is 2011, I got the update like a month ago, but everything was working fine.
Well I hope it's the leak issue, or I'll have to go back to GB, or run a Sean's older ICS with no deep sleep, can;t not have phone in the car and have music mess up my USB.
Since EMBRYO was mentioned. Anyways, I can only comment on FORD Sync (since the other one drives the edge). Make sure you have the latest Sync Update that rolled out couple of months ago (I believe it is v 3.2.2, I will have to double check). I have had zero issues, connecting with BT as fars as voice calling goes (of course on EMBRYO 2.3), but then I don't use the Car daily. With Embryo 2.3, you should be able to send text message not that useful unless you use the prebuilt templates, that comes with the UCLD2 base. I am looking into what it takes to get full MAP support in the next update, no promises, I need time. Also, I have not streamed music through so can't say. Also, the device recognizes PAN BT tethering, but the sync craps out, I am suspecting it is SYNC issue.

Wow, much appreciated mohan, I do drive the Ford Edge it has SYNC on it, they call it My Touch or something. Is that different then in your car? I did get the update on USB and it's installed, not sure which version. I am making an appointment for the dealer to reinstall it as well. I found a Sync PDF
The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.
I would defiantly flash your ROM right now would you recommend UCLD2 or the other Kernel for this? no matter what files I delete in root or how I rename the phone, BT Stereo still connect to the name of the phone I had a while back. How can I just format everything and do a fresh install of your ROM, I mean like everything? or that would mass it up?
I am even willing to go to Stock GB tar and then root and do everything again.
I found this PDF, Ford Sync only supports KJ2 on skyrocket, have no idea what that means
http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/sync/usEN/sync_us_EN_iop_2_00.pdf
Also, I hope I did not do anything wrong here or offender anyone by Mentioning Embryo as a possible fix.

See the ROM post #3 (question 1) for a fresh flash. I would highly recommend it, whichever ICS ROM you flash.

Possibly, but not for everyone.
In my case, I can feel the phone crashing DURING the initial bluetooth connection to my car stereo. The phone actually vibrates a few times while I'm setting up the pair connection.
But it stays connected until I start up iHeart Radio or Pandora or any other Internet Radio.
I don't use Music Player for anything and have never tested it either.
I'm having a similar problem connecting my phone's Bluetooth to my JVC stereo. When I turn on bluetooth, the phone is fine, but once I pair it (media and phone), it vibrates, works for about 10-15 seconds, then restarts the bluetooth. When it restarts, it is not paired by default, but if I re-pair only the media to the JVC, it works perfectly. It seems to be a problem with using bluetooth for the phone.
I've been using Sky ICS (through update 10), and none of the fixes posted before have worked (including freezing the stock music app). And for the record, Embryo 2.3 has the exact same problem with my handset and stereo.
EDIT: Correction above. I was able to get media to work once using the method described above, but I was not able to repeat this.
I can confirm that Sky ICS UCLC4 4.2-A-9 solves all of the Bluetooth problems that I have been having with both phone and media pairing to my JVC stereo. Note that this is the outdated UCLC4 ROM. I haven't found any UCLD2 ROMs that fix the BT issues for me yet, but I hope one of them does soon.

yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.
This thread specified only Second Leak.
It's been confirmed that if you follow mohan's instructions to do a fresh install in Embryo 2.3 and I mean oneclick and the rest, everything will work great on UCLD2. I have not done it yet myself, no time, but soon hopefully today.

IT"S A BUG on all three leaks.
You may not experience it at all, it ma only happen once in a while, or every minute, it can fix itself for some time.
Nothing is possible, just need to hope Rogers Official Release will work. (when it comes out)

i was one of the people having issues with bluetooth in the car and after updating to UCLE2 i no longer have any issues what so ever.

I have a Kenwood car stereo with Bluetooth A2DP and AVRCP capabilities, however when I use Google Play Music to stream music, nothing shows up on the display. The music plays fine, but no track info I've tried apps like Power Amp and Rocket but they don't seem to manage either.
My friend's iPhone manages to stream track information over as well, so I know there's nothing wrong with the stereo unit's capabilities of actually doing it.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Each system will interact differently with individual bluetooth devices. Sorry I can't be of more help then that, just wanted to point out that it's mostly random what will work or not.

Hey hey hey. I've got a Kia Optima 2013, and I had this issue once. Granted, i'm using the stock radio with bluetooth capabilities, what worked for me is resetting the entire radio console. I don't know if you can do that, but resetting the radio might help.
I experience the same thing in my 2011 F150 with Sync.

I'll try resetting but I somehow doubt that will work since I got the head unit after my Nexus 5
I know in Android 4.2 and earlier track info was never displayed but I haven't had any issues since they added AVRCP 1.3 support in 4.3. I know the iPhone supports AVRCP 1.4 but that shouldn't be needed to display metadata.
Are you on the stock ROM? I know I have had bluetooth issues with my car on some custom ROMs while it works flawlessly on stock.
Edit: You could also see if there is a firmware update available for your head unit?

It's possible; Mine didn't start doing it automatically, this first happened about 4 months after i got my car [new] and my nexus. Could just be bluetooth issues, but I think resetting it may do the trick; of course, you'll have to delete the car in you nexus and re-pair again.
Mine does the same thing on Spotify when it starts playing automatically when i get in.
If I unlock the phone and open Spotify the track info works correctly for the rest of the drive.

I'm not rooted and have no custom ROM on my N5. It's as it is as it came out of the factory.
I have a custom ROM on my Nexus 7 (Cyanogen) and it fails to display track information, too, if that's of any information.
Checking firmware is the first thing I did. Everything was up to date out of the factory.
I'll have to try re-setting the whole thing. I just hate doing stuff like that 'cos I've set the EQ and speaker balance up just how I like it and will have to do it again! Ha. v____v
Tried resetting the head unit - no luck.
Are there any ROMs that implement AVRCP 1.4 that I could test?
I installed CM11 on my Nexus 7 and paired that up.
No luck through Google Music BUT through Poweramp it displays track information perfectly... The plot thickens.
Any updates?

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would check and see if any progress has been made? I just purchased a kenwood receiver and I am not getting any track info from Play Music, Pandora, or iHeart radio. I'm baffled as it is a *somewhat* modern phone and a new receiver, I am shocked and frustrated that something simple like ID tags are not displayed.

Unfortunately no. I've just come to live with it now. Even after the Lollipop update, I get absolutely no track info on all my music apps. iPhones still work fine. Super annoying!

Thank you for taking the time to respond, even though that is sad news. It seems that what phones work with which receivers is somewhat arbitrary, which boggles my mind. I've read plenty of threads elsewhere where the N5 did provide track info and it was other phones that didn't. But alas, that is not the case with our setups, apparently. I just saw that 5.1.1 OTAs were going out. Crossing my fingers for the unlikely chance that this is a fluke bug that will be fixed with the update....
Hi,
I have a Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS DVD Receiver installed in my car and it has the Pandora app on it. This allows it to display the artist name, song, gives the ability to thumbs up/down from the touch screen itself and is useful.
I was able to use this with my Nexus 5 but when my OPO is connected via bluetooth this isn't available.
Does anyone know what the difference between the N5 and OPO is in regards to being able to launch the pandora app on my headunit?
Looks like this feature is called Pandora Radio Ready.
Thank you.

Which ROM are you running? I have the AVH-X2700BS and running CM11S (XNPH44S) on my OPO, both bluetooth audio and Pandora control works decently well. I almost exclusively use Pandora over bluetooth audio and typically with about every 5 or 6th song change the song info will not change, but upon switching to the next song it will. If that makes sense. I've have no issues with Pandora control over bluetooth as well although i've had very little usage .
Now, the reason i ask which ROM you are using is because i recent upgraded to CM12 (YNG1TAS17L) in hopes that it would fix or mitigate the touch screen issues i've been having lately. After updating to that, when i stream Pandora over bluetooth i get no song info and the controls don't work at all. I did not try the Pandora control.
Question for you: Do you contacts sync properly with the HU? My contacts say they sync yet there's nothing under phonebook but recent calls does show the names and numbers properly.
I have a Z150BH. Just tried Pandora via bluetooth for the first time today. Pandora seems to work as designed, and controls work fine. It was just a short drive so will put more time into the eval and get back any meaningful changes of thoughts.
What I would like to do, however, is 'cast' my screen to the Pioneer unit. Thinking a wifi weather, then WIFI direct ought to work, with a Netear HD adapter.

I'm running stock CM12S but it hasn't worked with 11 or 12. My contacts and the dialer sync perfectly and when I use the "bluetooth" function on my headunit I can stream and control the phone fine but what I'm trying to use is the app.
For instance in this screenshot:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/PUSA/Images/Product Images/Car/AVH-X3500BHS_angle1.jpg
The bluetooth icon on the top right works fine, but the pandora icon second from the right on the top row does not even light up as an option for me to use (where it did when I connected my Nexus 5).
This is what I want to be able to use:

I think you have 3 options...
1) Wait for a possible fix in an upcoming update.
2) Find and flash the bluetooth stack from CM11 (not sure if this is possible or available)
3) Go back to CM11.

Is it a bluetooth stack thing that prevents some headunits from seeing certain phones over others? (Such as Nexus 5 vs OPO).
I'm not sure if that's a BT stack issue or incompatible protocol, etc. Maybe someone else with more knowledge can chime in on this one.
Interesting, looking at the phones on phonearena it looks like the N5 has v4.0 and A2DP whereas the OPO only has 4.0.
I wonder if A2DP is the culprit here.
