So I just installed a digital media reciever in my truck. For those unfamiliar with DMR's, they don't play CD's but only audio from an iPod/mp3 player or Bluetooth audio from a phone. The question I have is I have the unit paired with my phone but doesn't automatically connect. I have to go into the Bluetooth settings and manually connect it every time. I know this isn't something with the DMR as I had to do the same thing with my Supertooth Buddy hands free kit. Is there a fix for BT so that I will connect or is it something related to running a GB rom (I'm on humble 5.0)

I don't have the answer for you, but I have the same problem with my motorola bluetooth earphones. I have to turn bluetooth on and off twice before it will connect.
Yea it gets kind of annoying after a while lol. My girlfriend's incredible 2 syncs to the head unit right away everytime but I have to connect manually

I am having this problem too. I would love it if someone had a fix.
Unfortunately the bluetooth radio on this phone is bugged, like many other parts of the phone. I could never get it to consistently connect to my truck. It would work for 2 days, and then randomly decide it didnt want to work and I'd have to reboot the phone and manually connect it.
I've never had the issue of it needing to be rebooted but it just won't automatically connect. Only once did it actually connect on its own.

Are you using the phone stock out of the box with EE4? If so that is part of the problem the BT software is a little lacking - If and when you get the OTA update that should fix the issue, or you can manually upgrade. My Charge connects no problem with the DMR I put in my truck
I'm on humble 5.0 and haven't gotten around to going back to stock for the OTA. I may give that a shot in a few. Also what DMR are you using? I'm using a Sony DSX-S300.

I have the same model, but the model number ends in BTX
I do notice that the first time after I flash a new ROM I have to tell it to connect, but after that it connects just fine by itself after that. The only time I had any issue with BT was on EE4 every GB rom I've used has worked fine. I've not used Humble 5, but Humble 4.x worked fine. I do like the DMR in my truck, I also got the external microphone, the jog dial is a tad funky, but I'm getting used to it

I also just flashed the Humble 5.0 ROM yesterday and am having issues with my BT on my truck stereo. I have a Tundra with a stock radio that I have not had any connection issues with at all. I'm going to go to the Humble 5.0 thread to see if I can find anything there.

Yea mine is the S300BTX. For $170 you can't beat it. The jog dial is a little weird to get used to. Thank god it came with a remote lol.
I'm going to try going back to stock since I don't have anything better to do today. I'll report back and let you know if it made a difference.

I am really getting tired of my bluetooth headset not staying connected. Has anyone been able to figure out why both the Infuse and now my Skyrocket both lose their connection to my bluetooth headset during the day? It will connect to it (manually) no problem in the morning but after awhile it just loses the connection to my device? No ryhme or reason and the only way to get it back working again is to turn BT off/on again. Is the BT hardware in the phone just a piece of dog poo or what?

If you are using the same B/T device for both phones then I would be highly suspect of the device, not the phones. If it is fixed (not sure what folded means) then good...
Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but has anyone come up with a solution to this recently? I've been having similar problems recently. When I turn bluetooth on sometimes, it just hangs and doesn't turn on. I have to restart the phone. This has been happening more and more recently.
If it has something to do with the 2.3.6 update, is there a way to roll back to 2.3.5?
Wait, there was an update to 2.3.6? Did you get that OTA or is that from an alternate ROM? Mine is showing as up to date at 2.3.5 running stock.

I got it OTA about a month ago. Apparently AT&T pulled it, though.
Honestly, I see no difference between the two.
I have given up on Bluetooth with this phone! I actually went and bought a decent set of wired headphones incase I need to use them to talk handsfree.
On a more pleasant note (Lol) my new Galaxy Note is superb on my Jawbone and my car. Nice to use Bluetooth in the car again.
The skyrocket definitely has a Bluetooth issue. I had it before and after the 2.3.6 update.

BTW, where does one typically go to file a complaint? Would I go to AT&T or Samsung? They have probably heard of this issue already, but I figure one more person reminding them wouldn't hurt.

I have a bluetooth issue too. Seems like bluetooth won't always 'start'. I have to reboot and then it will work for a while again.
Stock ROM, rooted.
Edit: I just read my post from weeks ago and I think I posted to the wrong thread. Sorry

Is everyone having bluetooth issues in an LTE area? I think the first time I noticed this problem was around the time LTE was turned on in LA... or after the 2.3.6 update. Since people w/o the update are having the problem.. maybe it's related to LTE?
I started a similar thread a while back, but the mods moved it to accessories: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342831
There are definitely BT issues with this phone. I returned two because of the BT failing completely. So far so good with the two I have now. Some BT devices work better with this phone, but some don't work at all; it's very picky about what devices it works with. I have the Motorola HX550 headset, it works pretty well with that. Mine does not work well with Blueant, Jawbone, Motorola H17s or HX1s. The Blueant and Jawbone headsets worked, but voice dialing sucked because volume on confirmations was too low to be heard.
It's not LTE related; we have no LTE where I live. It's also not 2.3.6 related.

Thanks for clarifying the LTE theory. Thought it was worth a shot.
When you say you have two devices, do you mean two Skyrockets? I'm thinking of visiting the store, too.
Yep, I have had 5 skyrockets. 3 returned and I have two functional SRs now.

Mine is the exact same. If I turn on bluetooth sometimes it just hangs and doesn't do anything at all. I have to reboot my phone to get my bluetooth to turn on.

i have the exact same issue. im debating to wait for the Note.
Hey guys, I'm sure a lot of you are already on one of the ICS roms already. First of all hail all devs who have made our life better before official releases!
However I have seen posts talking about them experiencing Bluetooth problems just like I am right now and mostly mentioning the Music player stuttering and similar issues like that.
My problem is a little different. My aftermarket car deck worked perfectly with all the phones I have connected to, including my GB i727. However after I flashed the ICS my bluetooth connection kept dropping out randomly. Starting with the deck not auto connecting when I get in the car. Then after I manually connect "Phone" in the menu, it will MOST LIKELY disconnect after (on average) 2 minutes with the "Media" still checked (although the connection is not shown on either the icon in the status bar or the display of the deck). Weirdest thing is, sometimes it actually keeps on working after it connects.
I didn't think that would be a problem for me because I don't use Bluetooth earphones and I use my iPod instead of my phone to play music in my car. So I even disabled my Holo Music and my Google Play... I'm on Sean's SKY ICS 4.2D
I am just wondering if bluetooth misfunctioning is a common problem on all current ICS roms for our i727 or is it just the rom I am on right now? Because I drive a Manual car, the hand free in the car is actually very needed for me. So spread your wisdom on the bluetooth issues please!
Thank you!
my jvc car radio doesn't work at all with bluetooth sense updating to sky I c s. The stock I c s leak seemed to work pretty well however. Now the phone vibrates as if it's going to force close then disconnects the bluetooth within seconds of connecting every time.
Strangely, the radio does continue to play for a few minutes even though the radio and phone both say the device is disconnected. All kinds of weirdness going on here! I am going back to the stock leak as soon as I have time to reinstall all my apps for the millionth time.
On a side note, my monster bluetooth speakers seem to work flawlessly with all the roms i have tried. Seems I need an exterminator as I am over run with bluetooth bugs!
I am a programer. I wish I had the time to work on these and help develop these roms. The developers here are some truly talented and generous folks! After finals next week, I will try to devote some of my time to helping out this community which I gain so much from. Thanks to all of you guys! I can't wait until cm9 is in beta/release stage! That will be a dream come true!

Hi
My problem with Bluetooth is pairing to the car auduo. The phone can see the device, recognizes the type and tries to pair, but after putting a code I get a connection refused error. Previously worked with stock and custom 2.x.x rooms. From is now a 4.0.4 one.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Solved by replacing Bluetooth.apk to 4.0.1 found at androidforums
Works fine in my Cayman S

Hi guys,
I have found in other forum, and it's working for me.
Break connection between car and S3, and delete devices both in car and phone.
Now try to pair them again but don't let car system to access contact and data in phone.
After I did this my connection is stable.
Guy who suggested this believes that Samsung sends too much data ( all accounts data)and car system freezes).
Hope this works for you too

Hello,
I have had some issues with Bluetooth on jellybean ROM and not connecting to my radio correctly to play music from my phone it never seems to connect and send the music to the radio just stays on the phone and was wondering if anyone else had had similar issues. Bluetooth works the way it should when i go back to ICS Roms, when i get in the and the radio is on the music will switch from the phone to radio with out problem might take 30 sec or so but will switch over
thanks
I know on AOSP there has been numerous bluetooth issues with different devices. I'm not sure if its because it's AOSP or JellyBean. More than likely its the same problem you're running into. What ROM are you running? Scan thru it's thread to see if there are any fixes, if not ask in the thread describing the device you're trying to connect.
thanks for the reply .... the latest one i was using was CM10 ....right now im using SynergyROM and all is working ok .... yeah i tried to post in the rom i was having trouble with but im blocked from posting since i don't have enough post undender my belt i guess lol
Yeah, I didn't notice at first, I was on my phone. You need 10 posts to reply to a thread in the dev forums. It's not very hard to come up with 10 quality posts tho. There's so much general discussion.
I do know for a fact that CM10 was having issues with car bluetooth's along with other devices besides earpieces... it's the ROM I've been running and following. I didn't pay too much attention to the bluetooth problems tho as my earpiece works fine and I don't have a car to hook my phone up too lol.
yeah i just started using it more so now ive notice , about the only time i have ever use bluetooth
I've been cruising on cyanogenmod 7.1 for about 2 years now, and since the auto store no longer reads OBD II codes for customers, I decided to purchase one of the $10 Bluetooth ELM 327 devices off ebay, and use the Tourque app to read the data from my car.
The app works great, but it only works if you have a notification pop up asking to pair with the device, and I've only been able to get BT to work with this device so far with a 4.2.2 ROM --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204963 (only JB one I've tried). The other ICS ROM's I've tried so far along with CM 7.1 just won't connect. Has anyone else found a good ROM that works, or a way to trigger a bluetooth notification?
Basically, I turn on Bluetooth in all the ROMs, it detects the device, I select the device, and it says "Paired but not Connected" If you long press or hit the gear symbol, the only option is to "unpair". Pairing with other phones works perfectly fine, but with this device the option/notification to connect never comes up.
Anyone know of any ROMS prior to Jellybean that work with similar BT devices? .. Dunno if there is a way to trigger a notification; I do like JB, but once everything I need is working, my #1 goal is then responsiveness.
Any ideas/insights/experiences are much appreciated.
Have you tried any Sense roms?
Well, as it turns out, after I did a complete wipe, and was trying cyanogenmod 7.2 out, I was able to connect..... in fact, I'm able to connect on good ole 7.1 as well, and mytouchUXv3... which I didn't want to uninstall- seemed to have a snappier ui. I have no idea why I was unable to connect yesterday, but on whatever ROM i've tried today, if I start bluetooth, then run the torque app, then go back to the bluetooth app with the torque app running, and select pair/unpair/pair/unpair, it connects pretty soon. *scratches head*
One reason I stick to cm 7.1 is that I've read of many users experiencing diminished battery life with cm 7.2

Just to confirm, it ALSO works well with Vipertouch 2.1.4.
Buddy of mine passed me his cheap ELM ODB II Bluetooth unit, (he could not connect to it, since he had some chinese S3 knockoff phone).. Worked perfectly first time.
Paired no problem, and connected using Torque Pro and read quite a few of the sensors on my honda without an issue.
Thanks to all the devs for keeping these older phones alive..
