[Help please] Parrot MKi9100 problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right here is my issue.
In my card I have a Parrot MKi9100 bluetooth device. It is running on the latest 2.2 firmeware and has had a factory reset.
My Nexus 5 is running stock 4.4.2
The two devices will pair but not fully. Incoming calls can be answered but thats about it.
- The Parrot is not syncing the phonebook.
- And most annoyingly audio streaming isn't working. Google Music thinks it is streaming, the bluetooth icon in the app is blue (on) and the phone isn't playing music from its speaker. BUT no sound is coming out of the car system. Also if I go to bluetooth audio on the Parrot the phone isn't showing. If I go to settings > paired devices my phones isn't showing. Despite the homescreen of the Parrot saying "Nexus 5"
I am utterly confused. Is there some compatibility issue with the bluetooth the phone uses?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really want music in my car again

[Q] MW600 (A2DP) headset for music on Samsung S2

I am a new owner of a Samsung Galaxy S2 and cannot find a way to get my Sony Ericsson MW600 (fully A2DP compliant) BT stereo headset to work with the music player. All other system sounds, telephone, voice commands etc are working fine on the MW600. Even the BT to my car is fine. The Bluetooth settings menu says that the MW600 is "Connected to phone audio". Under profiles for the MW600 pairing it does say Phone: "Connected to phone audio" and also Media: "Use for media audio".
The whole point of the MW600 is for hearing quality music playback, but for all BT setting I tried, the music just comes through the phone speaker, and not through the MW600. Probably I have overlooked a setting or special condition? Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm soon to be an owner of a Samsung Galaxy S2 also, I'm really hoping that my MW600 is compatible too.
On my desire, the controls and audio were fine. Sadly the track display wasn't.
I'm going to do some SGS2 A2DP research and I'll post anything if I find any relevant reads.
I'm interested in getting a MW600 too, so i'll bump this up one time...
For Anyone Interested I have A2DP working perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset.
Pairing driven by phone works perfectly and track titles also show up on the MW600's OLED screen.
Also works flawlessly with most Samsung based ROMs.
Waiting For A2DP to work on AOSP based ROMs..
Try these:
1. Go to settings > wireless and network > Bluetooth
2. Turn on bluetooth if it's not on yet.
3. Pair to MW600 if it's not paired yet
4. Connected or not, long-press the MW600 from the bluetooth devices list
5. You should see these options:
Paired and not connected:
Connect
Unpair
Options
Paired and connected:
Disconnect
Disconnect and Unpair
Options
6. Select options
7. You should see three checkboxes with 3 items:
Connect (checked if your connected to the headphones)
Phone (Checked if you are connected to the headphones' call functions)
Media (Checked if you are connected to the phones' audio streming and remote controle profile)
7. Check the one appropriate
You can also use this to say for example pair the music function to a car stereo and pair the phone function to an in-ear BT headset.
Hope that helps. Hit the thanks button please

Make sure your headphones is in pairing mode do that it is discoverable. To enter pairing mode, hold down the power button for a bit longer when powering up your headset.. about 5 seconds is enough.. You'll know you've entered pairing mode when you see an icon with two arrows circling reach other..
A2dp is the bluetooth profile for transferring audio via bluetooth.. if your bluetooth device supports a2dp.. that simply means it can stream audio.. Bluetooth mice and keyboard for example are devices with hid(human interaction device I think or is it input? I forgot) and can therefore control devices that support hid, like laptops and android devices running froyo, gingerbread or honeycomb..

MW600 (A2DP) headset for music on Samsung S2
On any Android device, under bluetooth settings, you can see list of devices paired.
I also had the same problem, MW600 getting connected as phone device and not media device. If you want to get this fixed, all you have to do is press play and phone button both together same time for 5 seconds. You would be then able to see the MW600 device getting connected to phone and media device.
This worked for me. Hope you guys find this info useful.

Bluetooth Issue

I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.
With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.
Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.
Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.
I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.
Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?
This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.

[Q] Dock Audio w/ Mic Enabled

Hello all,
I have searched everywhere and can't find a resolution to my problem. I have the verizon GS3 in an Infuse 4G car dock and am running M2 of CM10.1. I also have a bluetooth headset (Motorola Roadster). Currently, I use Dock Sound Redirector to enable dock audio in the car dock (but keep speaker audio in my desk dock at home). I have the headset paired for phone call audio only, because I prefer my music on my car speakers and not the headset.
Because of this, I am not able to use the headset as a handsfree system at all. It will only enable the mic and route audio to the headset when I dial from the phone. If I attempt to use voice dialer it doesn't work. Another interesting item, when I was running stock and rooted I could use SoundHound to capture the music playing out of my cars speakers. I cannot do this with CM10.1. And even though I could do this on stock/rooted, I still couldn't perform voice actions in Google Now or Voice Dialer.
Sorry for such a long post, and this may not be possible, but in summary I would like to be able to use the bluetooth headset as a mic, at the same time as having dock audio to my car speakers. I would be ok with having phone call audio on the headset, as long as I could use voice commands or google now. Has anyone been able to find a solution to this or have a good setup?

BUMP!!! I'm having a similar issue. Same Dock. I am using Vanilla Rootbox Nightlies which uses CM 10's dock audio feature. I too have a muted microphone and I'm not even trying to use bluetooth. It seems like its trying to find a mic using the usb audio but obviously we just have speakers plugged in. Anybody have answers???
Having the same issue on CM 10.1 and 10.2, but in the AT&T variant of the S3. The bug has been reported, months ago, but isn't getting any traction. You can see the bug report at https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1080. Follow the link and comment, and vote for the bug. Maybe we can generate some interest in fixing it.
[UPDATED] - This Works, but it is very buggy. Sometimes it will recognize the bluetooth mic a couple times in a row. Sometimes it will lock up at initializing, or just pop up blank.
So I have been playing with a couple of different apps, and CM 10.2 has finally resolved the USB audio issues with the gs3. Here is how I have been able to get USB audio to work and use a bluetooth headset for voice commands/google now.
What I used:
SoundAbout ... Try one of the beta versions first to make sure it works on your device (allows you temporary access to the pro features).
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector
Bluetooth Launch (if you want to change the headset button to start a google now voice search)
InFuse 4g cardock
Motorola Roadster
Settings:
CM10.1 - Go to Settings>>Advanced>>USB-dock Audio and uncheck the box (The setting is missing in CM10.2)
- Also Settings>>Bluetooth select your device's settings, and uncheck media audio
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector - Make sure it is turned on in the bottom left corner, and "Redirect audio through car dock" is checked. (I keep desk dock unchecked so I can hear my alarm in the morning)
SoundAbout - Under "Bluetooth behavior..." make sure "(Mono) microphone override" is checked
Bluetooth Launch - Scroll down and expand "Google Search". Then select "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity" (I have had some issues with the voice search locking up using this method)
Google Now - Go to Settings>>Voice and check "Bluetooth headset"
Now you should be able to play music, and hear navigation through your car speakers. When a phone call comes in, it will mute the music, and send the audio through your bluetooth. When you press the button on your headset it will launch google now and start listening through the bluetooth mic for your voice command/search. I'm going to put together a better write up, along with my dock and car setup sometime soon!

Just made my way back to this thread, I haven't gotten a chance to try it but I will when I get a chance and report back.
Another Update
I have just noticed that my SoundAbout trial period has ended, but everything is still working the same as before (still just as buggy). This may not be needed, or maybe it just needs to be set once?

[Q] Bluetooth & Google Now Not Working Correctly

Hey guys, I'm trying to help a friend out, maybe you guys can help? :
"I have a strange issue where spotify stops me from being able to record through google now on a nexus 5.
I use my phone + spotify in an interesting way with my car bluetooth. I have two bluetooth connections running simultaneously (because my car only natively supports phone audio and not media audio). One is obviously the car for calls and the second is a bluetooth adapter kit for my head unit (made by GROM).
Now that google now supports voice through bluetooth in my car. When i press the mic the bluetooth audio swaps to my cars integrated system (bluetooth connection 1) and waits for input.
Usually (when i was using google music last month) google now would do its search and start playing my music again. However when spotify is active in memory and i force a voice input into google now the audio starts to play out of bluetooth connection 1 and swaps between connection 1 and 2 not actually allowing me to say anything (seems to flood the mic).
The only way i could make it stop wanting to play what was last played in spotify was to kill the service and then activate the google now voice prompt."
Phone: Nexus 5
Android Version: 4.4.2

[Q] A bluetooth work-around needed?

Hello everyone,
I have a specific problem with a bluetooth device and with my limited knowledge I haven't worked out how to fix it, so I am asking for your help. I will explain it best I can...
I have a third-party bluetooth stereo in my car that has a built in mic for voice calls. However, the microphone is of terrible quality and as it's in the stereo unit it's quite far from me when I'm driving meaning it is almost useless to use for voice calls. Because of this I purchased a seperate good quality bluetooth speaker/mic that fits on to the car's sun visor. The problem I have is when I get in to my car my phone connects to the stereo only and not the small speaker. I want my phone to connect to the stereo via b/t so I can play my music through it, which is great, but not for voice calls. I see in the b/t options on my phone (HTC One) that you can check/uncheck boxes for the type of connections, in this case 'Phone Audio' and 'Media Audio'. If I just have the Media Audio setting checked, the phone fails to connect to the stereo at all, not even for music, so in order for it to automatically connect to the stereo I need the Phone Audio option enabled too, causing it to then not connect to the seperate device, thus diverting all calls through the stereo, which is really inconvenient. There are no options within the stereo that isolates these individual settings.
Are there any apps or methods you can advise me on that will allow my phone to connect to the stereo automatically but with voice disabled? I have looked in to Tasker but I am not skilled enough to work out how to set it up, so if this is the best option can somebody talk me through this please?
I appreciate the help on this, and I hope I've explained it adequately.
Simon
