[Q] Bluetooth Address Book Download Issue

Hoping someone out there can help me
I have the Verizon G3 and have installed several custom ROM's. I really would like to have CM10 as my DD but I am running into an issue with most of the CM10 variants. I have a car stereo with Bluetooth support, I have no issues pairing the phone, that works OK. But shortly after I pair my phone I receive a dialog that asks for permission to download my address book to my stereo (this is an extremely handy feature since I can then use the car's voice activation feature to place a call e.g. "Call So-and-So on Cell". When I give the phone permission, it seems the download never completes. Normally, the stereo will display a message that says "Download Complete" but in this case I never see that message. Also, when I try to use my voice activation the stereo keeps telling me "Phone book still downloading", This happens on any CM-based ROM that I try, it is very consistent so I am assuming there is something in the base CM code. If I install any ROM based on stock I have never seen this issue, the phonebook download completes in a few seconds. I have also tried pairing an iPhone and a Blackberry and everything is fine.
I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and if anyone knows a way this can be fixed? This is my "acid test" for an acceptable rom for me so I am hoping I can get this addressed so I can move away from stock.
Thanks in advance!

Guess I am the only one with this issue? I just tried installing CM10 M1 but it still has the same issue. I will try some other JB-based variants to see if I can find something that likes my stereo :fingers-crossed:

Same thing happens with my Ford Sync system. This last time I turned on the auto download or auto update (forget what it's called) and somehow my address book is completely downloaded.

Thanks! I recently downloaded Incubus23jc's JellyWiz R3 running 4.1.1 (which I believe is a port from either T-Mobile or AT&T leak) and the address download works just fine. So the issue isn't directly JB-related. Guess I will try to submit a defect on the CM site.

AOSP, Bluetooth and MyLink Radio

Has anyone had any success using an AOSP based rom and syncing their phone with the new GM car radio, MyLink? I tried many different AOSP roms and although it paired and seemed successful, I couldn't get the radio to play the music from the phone. As soon as I put a Touch Wiz rom on it, it worked really well. I think what is happening is after it pairs and connects, the phone is supposed to prompt me to accept the connection, but it never does. Anyhow, if there is a trick to get this to work, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

[Q] Hands free bluetooth issues?

Hi everyone.
First off, let me say I did search for my issue, but really could not find anything that was relevant to all of my issues. And, if this is in the wrong place, please let me know!
Now- I installed a bluetooth radio in my truck 2 weeks ago. I was running a rooted SCH-i535 on 4.2. Did not have anything other than root access, due to me dropping my phone and getting it replaced.(Only problem was cracked screen, worked flawlessly). Now, I was able to connect my radio and phone with bluetooth, and worked fine. I had a pin code on my phone, and was still able to hold down my phone button on my radio, and give voice commands no problem. Now, I get my replacement phone this past weekend from geek squad. I go in, give them my old phone, and tell them im going to browse the store, ill be back for the other phone. I come back to get it, and its up and running. I get in my truck, get the phone and radio to sync, set my phone down, and try to make a call....I can not use voice commands. I hold the button on the radio, and it tells me service is not available. Tried just using a swipe unlock. same thing. Now, I forgot to mention, geek squad went ahead and performed the OTA 4.3 update while setting up my phone. I can use the phone and it will use the bluetooth for the calls if I select it from a phone book, and I can receive calls too. Its just that the voice control will not work...its almost if s-voice is not seeing that I am making a command or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I loved having a truly hands free set up in my truck. Thank you for any help!

Have the same problem. I'm on rooted unlocked vzw 4.3 but I had this problem on 4.1.2 as well. Bluetooth calls connect but media not coming through (it's connected in BT settings). Occasionally the media will come through as well. I tried clearing cache just for BT through TiBu and emediately restarting phone which mostly worked on 4.1.2 but not on 4.3. I also tried a full factory reset and a clean re-install of the rom (I always clean install). Problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Anyone have ANY ideas?! This is very irritating!

bump?

Try this see if help.
1) In settings-> sound -> enable "Touch Sound".

2) Make sure lock screen is enabled and use dial pin or swype.

[Q] Bluetooth handsfree problem

I have a Sony bluetooth head unit in my car which supports handfree and audio streaming profiles. I can play my music through the head unit just fine via bluetooth. I can also make and receive calls without problem when I am listening to the radio (ie when I am not listening to my own music). However, when I am playing my own tunes and I either make or receive a call, the head unit indicates I am on a call, it mutes the music but I just get silence through the speakers.
I used to have a Galaxy S Advance and it all worked just fine without too much configuration on the phone or head unit; basically just pair them up, make sure the right boxes are ticked in the bluetooth options and thats it.
Any idea what the problem could be? I've tried an upgrade to 4.2.2 but it didn't help...

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I can pair my s2 plus with cm11 from this thread to my car kit (Parrot MKi 9200). Playing music via phone on the car speakers works fine but when I place a call the receiving phone just gets loud static (and my voice very very silent).
I wanted to ask the developer of the cm11 I am using if he sees a way to exchange the bluetooth module (or what androis equivalent is) to the one of e.g. Android 4.1.2 because I know that one works perfectly. I am posting here because I havent reached 10 posts yet.
Of course I am open to other workarounds and ideas.
Thanks,
Kiesel

Same issue here,
everything (music etc.) is okay, but the phone connection.
I'm connecting to my Ford Sync.
I can connect, but then the quality of the voice is very very bad, I can hardly understand anything...
I thing there's a configuration file in the etc/ folder, maybe that need some upgrade?!?
Hope someone can help, because I really like to keep CM11 on my phone...

How is this message supposed to be of any help? Of course we know that. We have seen a lot of threads. I have read the whole bug report including all the comments on googlegroups, I have browsed dozens of websites and googled my ass of. What I didnt find was an explanation (at this point I dont expect to find a fast solution anymore). After reading the googlegroups bug call I thought it was a problem with the bluetooth stack that apparently is being redeveloped by google. But here cooldevelopment said it isnt a google problem.
I fully understand that it must be annoying for you to see this question a million times but please understand, that it is also annoying (and unsatisfactory) to not know whats going on.

I know what you mean but i think the best method now is to wait until cooldev find a solution to this

As this is a bluetooth problem topic, i just want to ask one question. Can't use the CM 11 and ROM's based on it, because the sound problems with connection in my car. So back to stock ROM. I flashed the cooldev's kernel to get a better battery life, but after flashing, bluetooth makes the same problem as CM. Do you guys have the same issue?

Hmm, interesting. I will try this out as well. Might probably be a week though, I am leaving for holidays tonight and cant risk making my phone unusable. Maybe somebody else is willing to give it a try?

Thanks now i know where to search the problem.

Hi,
here is a logcat of a bluetooth connection during a call on stock rom/stock kernel.
What I did:
-start logcat
-start bluetooth
-chose a contact
-call contact-
-talk for a minute
-hang up
-stop logcat
I then wanted to flash the mosh kernel and do the same again but the last time I checked there wasnt this huge plethora of different kernels to choose from. Very impressive work!
Could you tell me which one you would like me to flash and I would then redo everything?

Hi,
I tried installing mosh kernel 1.8 and 1.85 (for stock, init.d enabled) on sazy rom but it didnt boot. It stayed at the very first screen you get when you turn the phone on. I then installed your cm11 build8, connected via bluetooth to my car and had someone call me.
Attached is the logcat.
Do I need the samsung stock rom for mosh kernel? I thought sazy rom was a stock rom?

Strange Bluetooth issue

Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

Borrow the ole ball and chain's phone and see if it acts the same way.

Sounds like u need to swap it out for a replacement. Never had an issue unless using custom kernals.

Weird...
My M8 should be here today and I have a 2010 Mazdaspeed3. I hope this isn't an issue with all of them. Although, my MS3 has a long history of it's bluetooth not getting along with HTC phones.

Did you have any issues?

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.

having the same issue here. My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F150 with Sync.
Worked up until about a day ago .. Now i can't get stock or aosp roms to lock in bluetooth

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM

I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

Sounds like the common theme may be root for whatever reason. I assume when you first had the phone and it worked that you were not rooted? Possible issue?

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.

install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.
