Bluetooth not automatically connecting

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.

Bluetooth issues in ICS? Post your problems and solutions!

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!

You should try his bluetooth fixes in the op. I had about the same problem and bluetooth fix 2 resolved it. YMMV

Yep, same isdues.
Tried many things but nothing.
It worked, still does only on sky ice update 6, but the phone does not deep sleep, that's the problem so can't keep using that.
Hope official rogers will fix it.

Same here.
JVC KW-XR810 car stereo running updated firmware.
Bluetooth crashes almost immediately and the phone buzzes.
I use bluetooth for playing pandora or internet radio.
UCALC worked perfectly.
UCLD2 is where problems started for me.
I've tried both fixes listed in the SkyICS thread.

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

Bluetooth is finally fixed for me in CM10.1. No more Bluetooth Keep Awake. No more hassle of disconnects.
VW RNS 510

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

[Q] Orthos Docking Problem

I saw a user ask this on the dev forum, but since I just decided to stop trolling and register, they do not allow me to post, although I have flashed a million roms, and if I can survive the Dell Streak, I can get around with my Skyrocket.
Anywho, I am noticing that when I connect my USB to the computer it does not allow me to connect the phone to the computer via USB to explore in there. My coworker is my partner in crime in the way of flashing and he has the same issue.
Is this an AOKP JB problem, is it just something with Majick's build? I have not had this issue with any of his or Sean's roms before. Also BT audio does not stream to my car receiver. In Majick's past builds it was fine same with Sean's, weird part it connects to stream music, and my deck recognizes my phone as an audio player, but its like a signal never gets pushed. This is not a huge deal since the phone works over BT at least and that is my biggest concern. Any help or a mod pushing this over to the Dev section would be greatly appreciated.

I have had that problem with other aokp Roms so I believe it's a aokp problem, but orthos connects to my computer fine, maybe aokp Roms are picky lol, I fixed the problem on other Roms by reinstalling the drivers

The problem's been reported on AOKP as well, and Autoplay might have something to do with it.
Are you getting a massive wakelock from MediaScannerService, by chance?

[Q] Bluetooth Question

Ok, so I have an issue with my One X that I didn't have on my Galaxy Nexus. I was able to leave my bluetooth on (on the Gnex) all the time. When I got in the car, after a few seconds or so, it would connect. I never had to think about it. This was on AOSP, CM, or AOKP. No matter the build, it always worked this way.
With my One X, it never connects automatically. I feel like there's a setting I'm not seeing that I need to enable to allow it to act this way. If bluetooth is on, I have to manually tell it to connect to the stereo. Sometimes I have to shut off the bluetooth radio, turn it back one, etc etc.
This is on Sense Builds, AOKP, or CM.
Anyone have any insight? I feel like this shouldn't even be a thought. I should be able to just leave it on and never think about it.

Wrong section. Q's belong in Q&A. Let the mods know so they can move this thread.
Its not you, its the phone, or specifically the Bluetooth stack. Certain combinations of phones and Bluetooth devices (like your car stereo head unit) just don't play well together. Its the same on my car, which is a 2012 Subaru Impreza with factory head unit (which I understand is made by Kenwood). It work fine (mostly, sometimes the steering wheel controls to skip tracks won't work) once its connected. But it won't auto-connect and has to be connected manually every time I start the car. For other people's car stereos, it may work just fine.
There is nothing in Settings that will fix this. Further, I've messed with some of the system files to see if that would help (which some have pointed out has worked on other devices), but no good. I've also hoped that HTC would have fixed the problem with one of the firmware updates (as they sometimes update the BT stack when they update the firmware). But I've tried various builds, including the recent Sense JB firmware's, and the same problem persists.
I've reported the issue to HTC back when the phone was originally released in May. HTC support walked me though the usual steps of factory reset, update firmware, safe mode. But of course, none of this worked, and they logged the issue for further investigation. Aside from a change in the BT stack by HTC, I don't think there is much that can be done.
There are various apps and toggles and such that may make your life a bit easier (and others will likely suggest). And I'm using one now called Speed Enabled Bluetooth. But really, they are just half-a$$ed workarounds at best, and not a true fix. I wished the thing would just work like its supposed to.

As I already said, its dependent on the car stereo. Some will work, some won't. What make/model car, and is it the factory stereo or not?

My car is also a 2012 Subaru. its a wrx impreza, so we're in the same boat. guess its time to start looking into an aftermarket headunit.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset, Vzw GS3 CM10.1 RC5

Searched around google, xda, similiar threads, couldn't find any help, so i finally decided to make an account and look for some help.
I recently updated from my stock GS3 to CM10.1 RC5, and paired with NovaLauncher, i love it. But i ran into my first real problem today, and havent been able to find a solution. I have a logitech wireless headset (Model: H800) that i use sometimes for making calls where i need to use both hands while on the phone. Ive always used bluetooth to connect my headset and phone and it worked splendidly. This is my first time trying to pair the devices since upgrading to CM10.1, and my phone now will not recognize the headset. I cant connect them through normal wireless, so im not sure what to do. Will updating to the new 10.1.0 fix this? Is there a patch somewhere i havent found? Any help would be appreciated.
Relevant info:
Verizon Galaxy S3
CM10.1 RC5
Nova Launcher Prime
Logitech H800
Bluetooth not connecting for the 2 devices.
I have to go to the store, so i wont be able to respond right away, but ill be back in a little while if anyone needs any more info/has questions. Thanks for looking!

Bluetooth hasn't worked quite properly for a while in AOSP. I went back to TW for that reason.
If you want AOSP and want fully working Bluetooth I suggest SLIM version 4.2.2. Also don't update the kernel from stock on SLIM.
