Is anyone else having problems with the bluetooth in the car? I am pretty frustrated with the performance of the bluetooth in my car (Infiniti G37xS). I used to have a Rezound and that worked pretty much flawlessly. As soon as I got in my car it would automatically connect (since I leave BT on). The Rezound also connected for both media audio and phone audio, meaning I could be streaming music but it would still be connected as a phone in case I got a call.
Now on to the SGIII...It is extremely hit or miss whether the phone connects to my car automatically (mostly miss). When it does connect, it seems to only let me connect as media audio or phone audio. If I try to check both it disconnects and won't work. So that kinda defeats the purpose of BT in a car IMO. Then the next issue, when I finally get it to connect to stream music, it disconnects quite a bit and sometimes it takes me forever to get it to reconnect. I have to switch outputs in my car, turn off/on BT on the phone, etc just to get it to reconnect.
It is VERY annoying. Does anyone else have these issues? Why is this so much different than my Rezound? Anything that I can do to alleviate any of these issues? (Other than using a cable for streaming)
I had issues with my first GS3, it would make a clicking nose so they replaced it. This one works great. My wife's car is the only one with the BT connection but when ever I use her car it works seamlessly. Sorry you are having issues. I'd talk to vzw to see if they'll replace it. Have you modified your GS3? If you're running a custom rom then I would go through vzw.
The phone is 100% stock. I really don't want to return it for a refurbished phone though if I can avoid it.

My experience with stock on 3 vehicles, one Chrysler, one Ford, and one with an aftermarket Sony head unit was no issues whatsoever. As soon as I began to run CM10, I have had nothing but issues just like you described, connect to phone and no media, etc. I also have a friend who has a stock S3 with a Nissan and has no issues with Bluetooth. I did have issues with the Nexus in a Ford, and it was rectified when there was a Sync update. If you are current with updates in the car, I might consider a swap if I were you.
Stock phone syncs with my Ford just fine. On CM10 I have to use the alternate sync method for syncing. Does Infiniti offer that option? It may help.

I get an occasional (once a week or so) disconnect and then I have to turn off the car and turn it back on to reconnect. Annoying.

My phone connects just fine to my '12 Charger, but the media info does not show up on my screen. I can fast forward, rewind, etc, but I do not get the album art and artist. Anyone have a fix for that? I have moved to PlayerPro because of the issues with the stock player on the phone, and I have enabled the avrcp support but still no avail.
Well I tried it again this morning on my way to work and it worked flawlessly. Both streaming and phone audio. The only thing different was that I installed the new update that Verizon just pushed out (kinda wish I didn't because of all of the crap they put on there, but oh well). At least my BT seems fixed now. Strange.
Thanks for the input from everyone!

Is anyone else having issues with the bluetooth connectivity with their HTC Inspire? It pairs with my car with no issues. The bluetooth drops in and out. It says bluetooth headset connected... then 1 minute later it says bluetooth headset disconnected... and so on.
The car doesn't recognize that it is gone so the sound stops on the speakers in the car but the phone doesn't switch the source to the phone. I have to switch it manually to get back to my call.
Anyhow, I see a lot of articles on google where people are complaining about this but I have been unable to find any resolution. Has anyone here had this issue and resolved it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Same is happening with mine. I paired my inspire with the car and it connects. But if I use it no connection or doesn't dial. When I receive a call and disconnect, my car will stop the connection but the phone stays on.
I might be restoring to stock to see if it's just an inspire thing or bug with different ROM's

I am using my phone stock and was thinking about rooting it if it would fix it. I am new to Droid phones so I have not read enough to be comfortable with rooting quite yet...
Have you found any solution to this issue? I've just bought a BT headphone (Plantronics 903+), and as a I put it in my left pocket (where it is supposed to be placed since the headphone antenna in the left side), connection dropping starts and never stop happening. The movement seems to stress the connection quality and it gets really annoying, I can't listen to music without having this chopped streaming all the time.
I thought to post this question here since this is the only post I found about the same issue, but I will put a specific one about Plantronics and Inspire if I can't come out with a solution. I'm really very disappointed now with the headset, the phone or I don't really know which one is the guilty one.
Thanks in advance
it will not work. since after rooting, my phone cannot pair with my Garmin GPS, but it did with the stock rom.

I was trying to sync my g2x phone to my uconnect on my dodge. It dials but completely mutes the call. Then it s shutdown the bluetooth on my phone. I tried out on my wifes g2 and would reboot the phone when I tried to shut down the blue tooth. I had to reformat her phone to stop that. We have 2 g2x phones. Again will sync but crashes after that.

I can't even get mine to pair with my Subaru BT. It see it, tries to connect then says incorrect pin but doesn't even prompt me to enter one. Its like there is one already stored for it, but its never pairs since day one...not sure what's wrong. I've factory reset once too. Hmmm
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I think there is a problem with the blue tooth in these phones.
Its connecting fine to my Samsung headset. I currently am using the bluetooth to watch a movie.
I just got the G2X myself and so far I'm blown away by it except for the BT issue....
I use my phone with NO ISSUES on my Jawbone Era, but the SYNC in my F150 doesn't like it.
It's strange, the phone drops the BT connection yet still shows (icon at top) that it's connected. But under settings it's not.
Once this happens you would think you could stop / start the BT but nope! Gotta reboot the whole phone.
Anyone have any resolution to the issue? Hoping that the new GINGERBREAD once released will resolve the issue.
I've noticed that it seems to be related to data though, seems that my SYNC trying to sync the contacts is when it flips out... I'm going to disable the contact sync and see if it stays attached. I'll post my results soon...
Works in my Infiniti, better than the G2 did. Do your cars try to find the phone or does the phone have to find the car? Mine's the latter. When pairing, the phone actually pops up "Invalid PIN" and then a second later it pops up a screen that allows me to enter the car's PIN. It's as if the phone's sending a PIN without me entering it. You might want to try setting the car's PIN to 0000 or 1234 and see if one of those two codes are what the phone's first trying to transmit.
I can go either way, find the car or have the car find the phone.
I'll try using default codes 0000 1234 as you suggested... Mine does connect and pair, but then later on just drops the car like a bad habbit and I have to reboot the phone for any BT device (headset or car) to reattach. Almost like a service gets locked or something....
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Less issues with the G2x on my 2010 Ford Focus with SYNC than with my Nexus S. It seems it doesn't always reconnect properly upon start up, even though the car thinks they're connected, but that is only streaming. Phone calls always work fine. The Nexus S had all kinds of problems if you had WiFi turned on.
*sigh*
My iPhone4 had almost zero with the BT, but every time a major iOS release came out, I'd have some connection issues. However, Ford would then release a SYNC update and everything would be fine again. I'm guessing that NO ONE is following the BT standard as closely as they should, and that causes issues.
The phone does seem to be half finished.

I have a 2010 F150 and I'm having the same issues with Bluetooth and this phone.
Initially it attached fine and downloaded my phone book but now it disconnects and leaves BT on the G2x in a funky state.
I'm kind of hoping that Gingerbread will have an update, but I don't know I want to wait that long. I'll be touching base with the T-Mobile store about this.
If you have any updates with your truck let me know. I'd be happy to only use this for the phone for a short period of time.
I synced my phone to my car on the first day w/o any issues.
The car's phone setup menu did not find the phone. I had the option to either choose a fixed pin or a random pin. I chose a fixed pin and then went to my phone to search for the car.
It found the car in seconds and I paired it with the phone using the pin I inputed initially from the car setup.
I was able to download my phonebook with no issues and it only took about a minute or less. It couldn't download my entire phonebook, but that was just because of my car's inadequate space. I'd imagine with a 12.5GB hard drive in my car that wouldn't be a problem, but oh well.
Also, phone quality is great, reception is great, the quality on the other end is great as well. The best thing is that the G2x actually notifies me during a call if I have an incoming call/text/email...something my G1 couldn't do while paired to my car.

What kind of car? The various head units have different Bluetooth implementations. My Infiniti (and I'm assuming Nissan's) work fine. We've heard that Ford and Subaru don't.
I don't know if those of you who can't connect have tried this but it might be worth a shot. Change the name of the phone in Bluetooth settings. Turn Bluetooth off and on and/or reboot the phone until that name sticks. For some reason, it would either go back to "T-Mobile G2x" or show that the phone had no name until it finally stuck.
The Bluetooth profile/stack in the phone is buggy. It'll either drop the profile completely or randomly drop a device. If I reboot the phone sometimes they come back and sometimes they don't. The profile for my car didn't show in settings but the car connected to the phone anyway. It will sometimes play phone sounds through my speakers or headset and other times it won't with none of the settings changed in any way.
I hope either an update or Gingerbread help stabilize Bluetooth.

Acura. So yeah it seems Infiniti/Nissan and Acura/Hondas are fine. Before I got the Acura I had a Nissan and it was able to sync my G1 w/o issues as well.
Yeah the bluetooth on this phone is a little funky when trying to connect to my kenwood kdc-bt945 system, whereas the nexus s worked much smoother.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
Think it's a hardware bug for the Ford stuff? I'm thinking it's not, I'm thinking that it's actually a software issue givin the profile weirdness.
Perhaps one of the gods here will have a rom out soon with better BT drivers / managment in it then what's on stock. I wish I knew more about rom cooking cause then I could work on whipping up a batch of gingerbread cookies.
I miss my Sync and now debating on taking the phone back under remourse and going back to my Vibrant 3G.
Other than this BT issue I love my phone.
Given that someone else is having SYNC issues with this phone maybe I shouldn't return it under remourse for another one but simply wait and see what happens. Any thoughts??

Have you checked on Syncmyride.com for SYNC updates? This fixed a few issues I've had over the past 2 years with my Focus.
I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.
Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.
I think it may be a bad phone.
I have and used the following bluetooth devices:
Plantronics 590A
Jawbone Icon and Era
BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.
Sony Ericsson MW600
And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)
All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.
Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.
*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...

Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.
I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.
I have a replacement on the way for bluetooth problems,people complained of a horrid background noise and the range was maybe 8 feet before major static would kick in

My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.
This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.

I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.
If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

So whats the deal? Has anyone been able to fix the BT problems with this phone yet?
Can we flash a different BT.apk file or something?
Somebody by now should have some answers I would think.

horrid bluetooth sound quality
it seems a lot of people have been having issues with the bluetooth sound quality. i have mine paired with a motorola HF850 car kit, which has bluetooth v1.1, or something like that. i wonder if the problem is with backward compatibility, as people seem not to have as many issues with newer devices. would flashing a different radio potentiall help this problem? is it possible to downgrade the bluetooth version with a custom ROM? any other thoughts on ways to address this issue?

I also noticed the same thing yesterday driving home. I did not have this problem earlier in the week. I'm not sure what is going on. This along with a strange wifi problem has recently surfaced. If I leave my wifi range and then return, it does not want to reconnect. I have to toggle the airplane mode then wifi will reconnect.

I am. I'm looking for suggestions for things to try and improve the stuttering/skipping/dropouts that I'm experiencing when using my OnePlus One in media playback mode through my Chevrolet MyLink car radio. I have some additional details to offer and things I have tried:
1) The playback application doesn't seem to make any difference, the problem is most pronounced (unlistenable) when playing back music files and is highly annoying when listening to speech (e.g. podcast) files. I suspect the difference is the music having a beat that gets interrupted while there are some normal pauses in speech so the stuttering blends in a bit more. In any event, it's not a problem with the playback application.
2) It seems unlikely to be a problem with the car radio (Chevrolet MyLink). Though I haven't done extensive testing I have done some using my old Motorola Atrix HD with a nightly CM11 on it from a few weeks back and that does not seem to have the issue, or at least it is not nearly as severe.
3) When I use a third party bluetooth audio receiver (some cheap no-name one from ebay) the quality seems to be fine but when I try to go directly to the car stereo I get tons of stuttering/skipping/drop outs.
A friend suggested that I try running an alternative kernel and see if that improves things. Any ideas on whether that may be the case or which one might be the best to try? Any other suggestions? It's quite annoying that I can't playback audio through the car radio...
Thanks!
Anyone have any ideas? I tried running the Franco kernel tonight and it seems to have the same issue. I did some logcat captures and I seem to be getting a lot of "W/bt-btif ( 2104): btif_media_aa_prep_2_send congestion buf count 24" messages when playing back audio through the car radio. See the attached full logcat captures with both the stock and Franco kernels and connected to both an alternative Bluetooth dongle and to the MyLink car radio.
Any suggestions?
After further testing I was able to determine this is an issue with the phone and not the car radio as I was able to find at least one other BT device which exhibits the same issue. I have created a ticket for this issue at: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-1005 if you are also experiencing this issue you are encouraged to go and vote for the ticket.
One question though. Do you have WiFi on when traveling in your car? Try turning it off and see if you still get skipping.
I do in fact have WiFi on at all times. I tried turning it off for the day today while doing some driving and it appeared to clear up the problem. I would think it's still a bug because having WiFi on should not prevent BT audio from working correctly but it at least gives someone a direction to investigate.
So I've done some slightly longer term testing and what I can say is the problem is not totally cleared up when WiFi is off but it is much, much better (definitely listenable). I will still get a couple dropouts when first starting a stream (sometimes, not always) but after 30 seconds to a minute it seems to settle down and be fine as long as I keep the WiFi off.

Just to clarify the situation..
My Xperia Z2 have the same issues.. It is not your phone but the Bluetooth stack in android that pretty much sucks the problems you are dicribing has been there since android 4.2 on a lot of devices.
I have just changed my Lumia 1020 out with this Z2 and call me disappointed in music quality! On the Lumia you would have trouble hearing a difference between jack/auxiliary and Bluetooth..
And today I did notice some dropouts even with WiFi off well into my drive but it was just a few packets I would guess more of an annoyance than a serious problem. I've heard about issues in the Android BT stack but the confusing part of that is why certain devices (such as my Atrix HD) don't seem to experience the problem.
I have a bluetooth stereo I use every morning in my home and a bluetooth stereo in my car. I almost exclusively use pandora, but I have also used power amp on longer trips. I have never experience this issue with my opo. I have ran 25-33 all rooted with no problems and am currently using CM11 nightlies. I also am not having any wifi issues.
Sorry it's not very helpful, but it doesn't sound like a widespread issue at least.
It certainly has something to do with the particular bluetooth implementation used by the receiver interacting with the OPO. As I indicated I have three different BT receivers I can test with and the problem affects two of them but not the other.
Has anyone experienced issues with Bluetooth devices? I have 2 devices (that are somewhat obscure) that I'm having problems with. First, what does work:
1) Beats Wireless Headphones
2) Bluetooth in my car
3) Unify Roverbeats (For bluetooth via A/V receiver that doesn't have it built-in.
4) Fitbit Surge (Had a little trouble getting it paired initially, but it's been fine since.)
The two items I'm having the trouble with are:
1) Omron 7 Series Wrist (BP654) Blood pressure cuff.
2) Vicks SmartTemp Bluetooth thermometer.
I have gotten both to pair, though it seems to be hit and miss. Once I need to actually use them, though, I'm having little to no success in getting the phone to see them. Unfortunately, I have to take both my BP and Temp every 3 hours (due to recently diagnosed, extremely rare immune system disorder.) This would be a deal-break for me, with the Blu Pure XL, it I didn't have 2 other android tablets I can use. However, I'd sure like to have these working on the phone! (BTW, they all worked seamlessly on my LG G4.)
Has anyone else experienced bluetooth issues with the Pure XL?
More Bluetooth problems....
The Bluetooth problems I mentioned earlier have only worsened. My car sometimes will, sometimes won't connect. The surge connects 90% of the time. Everything else is touch and go, with my BP Cuff only connecting once (during the pairing sequence.) Also, when selecting "un-pair" on any device already paired almost never un-pairs it. I usually have to reboot, then try again to actually get it to un-pair.
Aside from the Bluetooth issues, I've not really encountered anything else that is a show-stopper. I'd like to have Android pay, but it's not a necessity. I want root more (which disables Android pay anyway.)

I've only paired a Metawatch so far but no issues. I keep forgetting to sync it to my car. I'd say the connection with the XL is better than with my M9, which dropped/reconnected randomly.
So far it seems to work fine with my car but when I use it with moto x sol deck it starts breaking up after 15-20 minutes. The only way to fix it is to turn on and off bluetooth.
Pure XL bluetooth serious problem
I have a Pure XL also, originally i only had problems occasionally with playing media through my LG Tone+ headphones. then i also tried connecting my Fitbit Charge HR it would shut down the bluetooth and lock the bluetooth off. i tried uninstalling the fitbit app and only running the headphones and the bluetooth ended up locking up. when i go to the bluetooth settings it shows it as constantly turning off and turning on. i cant stop it. tried rebooting. and also tried turning off and leaving off for awhile and still when i turn it back on it is still locked up.
Issues with jawbone up3, screwed up bad
Also having issues maintaining a sync without a reboot. In my wild attempts to fix this issue I ended up uninstalling Bluetooth Share.... Would any of you fine gentlemen be kind enough to post a copy of the apk from /system/bluetooth for me?

Hooked to my 4 year old kindle fire hd left on my second floor I was still getting reception in my basement. I'm so pissed I thought that this specked out phone would have good Bluetooth reception but nope ****ty. Blu/gionee needs to start putting way better Bluetooth transmitters in there phones.
I've got to reboot my phone several times a day to keep synced with my runtastic orbit. definitely the phone, had no issues with my LG. Its a nuisance, not a major issue.
Bluetooth woes followed by total meltdown!
After all of my initial issues with Bluetooth on my pure XL, I put a Samsung 200 GB MicroSD card in. It worked for a while, but I think I somehow damaged the card moving it in and out of the phone. Finally, I left the phone charging with card inserted. After an hour or two I came back to get it and it was fire hot...so hot that the plastic back cover had started to melt right below the memory card slot. After it cooled down I removed the SD card. The went on to work half the time, but eventually completely died. I contacted BLU and they sent me an RMA, so I sent the phone to them. I figured they would come back and say the phone was not covered anymore because I had the TWRP recovery and root installed. However, after they received the phone, I got an email with tracking number on the return to me. They ended up sending a completely new phone (off the shelf with all the goodies included.)
Since the new one has been back, and I got the march update, I haven't had any Bluetooth issues save 1: it won't connect to my Denon AVR receiver's Bluetooth mode. Everything else that I listed at the start of the thread is all working correctly now. Every once in a while I have to do a reboot to reset it, but it's way better than it had been!
BLUETOOTH CLICKING NOISE (handsfree)
Is anyone having issues with when using their BLU Pure XL in the car when using handsfree? I have an issue when about 1 minute into the phone call, the person I am talking to hears a loud click every 2 seconds and will not stop until I turn off the bluetooth or put on speaker. If i switch back to bluetooth, same thing happens. The longest I've gone on a call is probably 4 minutes before it started to happen. If i hang up and call the person back on bluetooth, same thing happens.
Anyone has a solution with this as its so bad that I am considering buying a new phone because of this issue!
Thanks
