No one has the jabmox and can reply if they have the same issue? I read on MS Support site that other users had the same issue with Windows 8 Dev preview. Can someone please chime in? Is this with the Big Jambox only? Or does it happen with other bluetooth speakers as well?
Really looking for a fix.

Thats concerining that MS still didnt address this issue in Windows 8 more or less the Surface RT Tablet version!. I mean really how many users are going to run into this, most use bluetooth spearks to stream music etc.. from tablets and phones.
I'm hoping they release an update to fix this soon.

Try pairing with an iphone or android, help determine what device is at fault. A mini review of the sound would be nice, in case these become a firesale item because of incompatibility issues.

I am having the same problem. Paired no problem with my regular Jambox but disconnects immediately with my Big Jambox.
I am going to update the Big Jambox firmware to see if that helps.
I can't believe that this is an issue in this day and age.
Frustrating.

For what its worth, I sent a support request to Jawbone with a link to this thread explaining the issue. Probably won't achieve much, but worth a try I guess. At least it may make them aware of the problem.

No problems with my Android Transformer Prime or my Windows Phone.
You won't see these fire sales any time soon.

This guy found a solution:

Haven't tried it out yet but it should work.
When I checked the "Properties" for my regular Jamnox versus the Big Jambox it definitely isn't being seen as a audio device.

I know there are USB-HDMI cables, but what kind of pinout connections for the TP translate?
The TP plug LOOKS like the one on my Samsung Mythic phone cable, but I sure as hell wouldn't plug it in!
Pros to why it might work
The chipset is capable
It doesn't appear that HP messed with the reference design
Cons to why it might not work
Chipset may be capable but no idea if the drivers to do it are in WebOS
It could have been removed
I can't find if anyone has tried an MHL adapter on the Touchpad yet
I've yet to hear of anyone outputting any video with the touchpad to an external screen.
I tried an MHL adaptor on the touchpad and it doesn't work.
Would be good if there's any other way to link it to a TV/Monitor.

So now the question is, is it because the hardware was modified or is it lacking in the software?
Another thought I had was looking to Bluetooth VDP support. Since WebOS uses the bluez stack and there was some work previously on VDP for bluez it shouldn't be too hard to the profile working. There is also the SPP video approach however both of these would need one to have a Bluetooth receiver to display the video.

Regardless of whether or not the hardware supports it, the software definitely does not.

I wouldn't get my hopes up given the state of WebOS. Android is looking like the best solution right now especially with ICS just around the corner.
gentleman, it WILL NOT work on 3.0.2 or 3.0.3, but is the #1 feature for 3.0.4, so either wait for that, or hope that CM team gets it working, but it prolly wont work in CM7 1.0 as its not the most important thing to have working at launch

Actually, I understood HDMI-out was confirmed to be part of 3.0.4.
Really, HP has nothing to gain by holding out on us, so I can't imagine they would.

CM, but Dalingrin more specifically. He says it is supported by the SoC, pinouts are the big question.
Google it or search here at xda. The phrase "webos 3.0.4 hdmi" worked for me.

source is from HP devs, im looking for the link in my history (EDIT: dammit, link is pulled, HP is cracking down on these leaks hard. looking for cached page)
as for 3.0.3, it WAS available, but HP sent a C&D to xda and nbournes (something like that, my bad ) so its gone, and HP also deactivated the dev reg server, so you have to impostah bypass to use 3.0.3, you get the camera app, faster browser but no access to app catalog or HP resources

I very much doubt they will add ANY new features,and any in the works will probably be removed or disabled in the final release. I think HP is releasing one last software update to deal with the fact that the software that shipped is junk. Its slow and buggy and I think HP feels that they need to fix the outstanding issues. I seriously doubt they feel they need to put any energy into adding new features. WebOS IS dead. Hp is not making devices running it anymore and no one is going to want it. They may be able to sell it for a few bucks to someone who wants the palm patent portfolio though. At the right price google might want those patents. The idea that HP will keep flushing money down the webOS hole though is absurd.

That is still great news.
well some bad news is that i cant find the post ANYWHERE :/ so take it as a grain of salt if you want, but either way, we're getting hdmi out eventually

there is HP app catalog access....
you just have to follow all the directions.
and since there is No Proof that HDMI is the #1 feature of 3.0.4, I'm calling BS until there is proof.

My MZ608-32 have the same problem after I upgrade to ICS, only sound on one speaker, I try to factory reset two times and nothing, in some aplications the lower speaker function with very low volume at example some YouTube videos. With readphones both sides work fine.
In my MZ607 from Brazil I have same bug. But I like so much this bug, with it I send my MZ607 for warranty and probably I get my money back. And get unlock bootloader tablet.
Not Good
I have a Xoom 2 ME and since updating to ICS, I too, have the same sound problem. Do you all think it is worth us clubbing together and sending a mass e-mail to Motorola and see if we can get some form of OTA update to fix the problem? We are only getting half the speakers working and we paid for them ALL to work!
Has anyone got a place we can send such error reports to?
Many Thanks in Advance

Let's see what will be the excuse this time...
Hi guys.
I found a workaround for this bug. For now im using some Tasker profiles to change the speakers configuration when the screen orientation is changed, but i plan to write an app to do this automatically. Root is needed to workaround this bug, and permanent rom changes aren't necessary so it doesn't break OTA updates.
In not sure why motorola disabled this feature on the ics update, it works ok here, a "pop" can be heard when the screen is rotated, maybe thats their reason...
Hi, it would be great to make the speakers work again.
Regards.
Hi guys, sorry for the delay on this. The apk is done and uploaded to google play. Been using it for a few weeks now, works good.

If it works for you, buy me a beer by getting the paid version. Cheers.
Please, thank this post if it has fixed your xoom. :good:
Works great
At least the Xoom 2 ICS works well.
My original Xoom running Motorola's ICS lags a lot... Also, it crashes and reboots at least once everyday...
Thank you bro
You're a genious.
Works great :good:

I had trouble with the Apple earbods too. Never had an issue on my N4 or N5. Perhaps report on Jira. I reported it and they said "Apple wires them differently" and closed the issue. Kinda dismissive considering Apple earpods mic work on the S4, S5, M8, N4, N5, etc.

I thought that the wiring was a standard thing, I guess I was wrong, the mic line definitely works perfect on SGS5 and Sennheiser earbuds, I hope this is something that can be tweak with software.

I used to use a pair of Skullcandy earbuds with mic on my Nexus 5 and now on the OPO it won't work at all. I'm sure it's a software bug.

Bluetooth issues

Do you think Samsung will fix Bluetooth at some point- or shell I refund this phone? It's not connecting to 50% cars currently available on the street.
mine works in every car i own perfect
I, like many people, I would imagine, only own one car, but it works perfectly with mine both on it's own and in use with Android Auto.
no issues here at all with that.
not working with BMW 2007 and 2010
No issues with BT at all.
Working fine for me as well.
I would be looking at the cars, not the phone. The BT in this phone is top notch.
This is second S8+. And the question is do Samsung fix it? There is whole Internet posts about non working Bluetooth on S8+ so no car problem.

That does not mean it works with every car and as I said there is a lot of proved cases that is not that great.

I was hoping someone already got some info from Samsung about it.

What I'm saying is, it's not the PHONES fault. It would be the fault of your car/radio. If it was the phones fault it wouldn't work on anything. Just because your car uses old technology, or bad technology, doesn't mean it's the phones fault.
But I'm saying and provided a link, there are other thousands people with the same problem, so you still think it is just my car(s) problem? And phone is ok? And also no problems with previous galaxys?

Search for any phone in existance and you'll find a thousand people complaining about Bluetooth for said phone without them doing any real troubleshooting to try to narrow down possible factors. Sadly, its usually down to user error, an app or setting that's been altered unknowingly by the user or the fault of the device they're trying to connect to.
I don't believe there to be a widespread problem with the s8 at this point. If I see more evidence in the future I'm happy to concede and admit that there may be a problem but right now this is just the same rehashed complaint that you get with every device these days.

Can you connect to anything via bluetooth? If you can, it's not your phone. Pretty simple answer and how to get it. If you can't connect to ONE device, they might not be compatible, that's part of technology always changing. What kind of vehicle bluetooth are you trying to connect to? Exact make and model, of either the car with built in bluetooth, or the device if it's aftermarket.

big problems with bluetooth and the car

Hey.
Had this phone for a week now and whilst it's a great phone, there appears to be a few bugs which need sorting. The main one is the incompatibility with the car for controlling apps like Spotify or streaming music via Bluetooth.
The later is a real pain and one which is causing me to seriously consider getting rid of this device as it's a killer feature for me due to the amount of driving I do.
Had a quick look at Talk Sony forum and a few other people have the same problem but as of yet there is no update or word from Sony.
Anyone else have the same experience and a potential solution?
Cheers
Scott
No solution, I got word from Sony that they are working on it, but my guess is that this will be fixed with Android O, and this could be months ahead :/
But maybe we will receive an update for Android 7, who knows...
Thanks for the reply. This kind of settles it then as Monday is last day of my cooling off period.. Gonna have to take it back as there is no way I can function in my job if I can t use handsfree properly or music
Such a shame.
had the same thing, after much research i found its probably the fact that the premium has bluetooth 5, with special codecs for music streaming. Non of which was available in 2012 when my car was made.
Ive ordered a £3 hadfree kit of ebay to see if that makes any difference.

I was gonna do the same but the only offer they gave me was an s8 with less data for an extra £15 a month. I stuck with the Sony and am hoping when my new car arrives it works.
Good luck.
I have a new 2017 BMW and I am stunned that it doesnt work. The S8 works great and the iPhone is perfect but for some reason Sony have been left out in the dark.

Spoke to Sony. They do believe their device is at fault and have no plans to do any software tweaks till Android O
I dont have any issues with mine controlling pause, play, last or next song, but I switched to Deezer a while back. Ive had more than one issue with Spotify on other devices, so I moved on from that service.

It's such a strange problem.
Hi guys goodevening I've solve this issue ! you just to go o dev menu anche change bluetooth version avrcp from 1.6 to 1.4 after that it will worck again with the idrive with any app.
I tried changing avrcp to 1.4 yet it still won't stream music at all to my alpine head unit.
Didn't even come up as an option under Bluetooth. Says it is connected for calls and contacts only.
The alpine works fine with galaxy note 2, 4, galaxy s5 and s8, Huawei y550. So the fault is with the xz premium.
Same Problem with Alpine and Bose. Solution?
