Bluetooth since 2.3

Since the update, my Inspire locks up upon first use after connecting to my car. Reboots, then its ok. Anyone else experience anything like this and have any tips to correct it?

stupid thanks button.....
i havent had any problems with 2.3 and bluetooth. mine doesnt lock up when it connects to my car

Same
I have to force stop the Music app (poweramp). tried factory reset but no real difference. Also on the sony mex bt3800 I have, it will display icons for streaming and calls, well sometimes (of course) only one of those will turn on. Re-paired still doing it. grrrr.

I have the Mex-bt2800. You can turn the music streaming on by pressing the pause/play button when it's it bluetooth audio mode.

Yeah, you'd like to think so, hit the arrow for play on poweramp right?
Well not quite as, if you start the car first then switch bluetooth on (you know powersaving) the message will display that the headset connected message then on the stereo , mostly, only the icon for media streaming will appear and the only reliable way to have both streaming and calls is to switch off bluetooth on the car stereo then switching it on again.
Froyo connected all time without issue and so did the 3GS i had previously.
The poweramp issue came about if you already had music playing through the internal speaker, started bluetooth, (you get the streaming media Icon on stereo) , then there would be no sound and poweramp would act if it had paused but no other button would work until it had been force stop. have only found time for a liittle bit of testing so can't tell much more about symptoms.
any other suggestions welcome

Hey there, I haven't had any issues with my BT either. I've used Ninja, Gingerbeast, and ARHD. I'm using it with the mex-bt3900 (i think thats right). i use it with the htc music app, google music app, pandora, and winamp. i havent had any lockups or anything on my end. what rom are you using? stock rom?

Still stock. Might root and see if those other roms make a difference. Saw comment on ace root kit thread about something new coming out on that so may put up it until what ever it is announced. Be nice to get rid of the att bloat too.

Bluetooth streaming issues

I have noticed that my MAXX HD will not stream via bluetooth to save its life. It is nerve racking to say the least. It is something isolated to this device as my HTC Rezound worked fine.
Here is what happens. When connecting to my 2012 Tundra it says it is connected for bluetooth streaming. If I pick an mp3 saved to the device it streams it just fine, but if I open Rhapsody or any other streaming app I get nothing. A work around I have found is to send myself a text message and not check it. Once the alert comes through for the new message it streams until I check it at which point it stops streaming. While streaming Rhapsody or any other streaming program it shows my ringtone name, when playing an mp3 it shows the mp3 name.
After searching I see this is an issue with various other vehicles as well. Anyone know a way to fix this? From what I have found Moto is not addressing the issue at this time. With 90% of my music coming through my Rhapsody subscription it is quite a pain to deal with.

Played around a little more. If I try to play my Amazon music through the cloud player I get no sound, but if I download the tracks to the device then open the Google Play Music app they play just fine.
FWIW this happened on the first sw, 7.2 update, and now on the 4.1 leak.

I wish I could help find a solution but all I can do is say it seems isolated to your phone. I use a jawbone big jambox at work and my pioneer in dash DVD player in my car. Both work flawlessly with the exception, sometimes they fail to connect without toggling Bluetooth. I can even use my jambox for media and headset for phone with both devices connected simultaneously. I spend most of my time with slacker radio, pandora or Sirius xm app.

I use it with power amp and Pandora streaming music to my motorcycle helmet, no issues here.

I have some issues sometimes I have to reconnect it with my prius as the bluetooth audio will stop working sometimes. Also sometimes even though bluetooth audio is working phone calls will not and I have to fool around with the settings and disconnect and reconnect. Kinda a pain since my iphone works 100% flawless with the prius.

OP, which headunit are you using in your Tundra, Entune or non-Entune? I have a 12 CM 4x4 Platinum with the non-Entune Nav headunit. I haven't tried audio streaming unfortunately as I use satellite. But I can give it a shot on Fri when I come home from travel.

I use Bluetooth in my truck all the time for Pandora...works great .
Even after a ROM flash. Just pair with the head unit and done

I have similar issues with my Droid RAZR MAXX HD and my 2012 Subaru Outback. The ONLY workaround I have found is to adjust the music volume slider in settings/sound/volumes after bluetooth is connected and audio is playing. I haven't found any common link between downloaded audio vs streaming. I have had issues with ICS and now JB with the bluetooth on the MAXX HD. My previous Droid RAZR worked with the same bluetooh system just fine.

I have a 2011 Toyota corolla with Bluetooth non En tune .
Mine has trouble streaming as well, but saved audio works just fine. Must be a Toyota thing. This happened on my windows phone too. My Bluetooth is a little finicky. Drives me crazy.
Everything works much better with the navigation dock. But still no streaming without auxiliary

Sending yourself a text and not checking it will also work most likely. This is definitely a Motorola thing, I have been streaming with various other devices in Toyota's for years and had no issue with my HTC Rezound streaming in this same truck prior to this phone.
If any Devs see this and can find a fix, I will happily PayPal you for your efforts!

Another issue
I have LG HBS-700 headphones paired to my phone (Droid Razr HD running Stock 4.1.1), and when I receive a call while streaming music, The music plays on my external speaker while the call is ringing. The occurs from any media streaming app (Google Music, Rdio, IHeartRadio, etc). I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue (including factory resets), and I'm curious if there's a ROM out there for the Razr HD's that would address this problem.

This is a very annoying bug that was introduced with the jelly bean update. If you keep your ringer on, music won't play through the external speaker. The ringer will play though the external speaker instead. Its still not perfect, but better than letting your coworkers know you're playing the Dixie Chicks.

This issue has been around from day 1 with mine and my Tundra - with ICS and JB.
It will stream some of the time but haven't quite figures out the funky sequences that'll make it work.

Similar problem with Droid RAZR and 2013 Mercedes GLK350

I'm having the exact same problem with my Droid RAZR and 2013 GLK350. Only with the default 'Play Music' application, does the car bluetooth system seem to realize that music has started playing and not act like the phone player is paused and report music metadata to the player. In Pandora, Slacker, Audible, Amazon player and any other app I've tried it's as if it the phone is not sending a proper 'I'm playing music now' cue to the car. As stated in the post above, if I go into Settings/Sound/Volume and just touch the Music volume slider the audio then plays and the music metadata the car displays is the last notification ringtone that phone has played. I've even tried putting a shortcut or widget from AudioManager on one of my home pages to adjust the volume so that I can more easily tap that instead of going through the Settings menu but this doesn't work either - whatever the bug is, the only workaround is an actual notification playing on the phone or the 'manual' volume adjustment. After the volume adjustment is made however, I can skip to the next song or chapter or whatever in the app I am currently using so it doesn't seem like the problem is in AVRCP. It is such a frustrating problem because it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to solve. I've had this problem in ICS and now the JB update that Verizon recently sent down. I was hoping the problem would be fixed with the JB update but unforetunately not.

BRZ with same issues
What I get with my BRZ, is it asks me to pair every single time, and it never saves the key. It's extremely annoying because I have to click pair on the phone each time when the car is on. At least it 'works' after that, but like someone said, the metadata is only read from Play Music.

I'd just like to note for anyone still having trouble that they should consider upgrading if at all possible to 4.1.2 jellybean. However, though I thought it was fixed at first, I will need to troubleshoot a little more, but it certainly has improved.

The problem I described above IS on 4.1.2. I haven't experienced any Bluetooth functionality improvements whatsoever in this version compared to the previous. It seems that many people are having the same exact or very similar problems with 4.1.2 on many different vehicles. Motorola seriously needs to raise the bar when testing. We often have to wait a VERY long time for any new OS releases for their phones to come out, so one would hope this means that they are thoroughly tested. Instead, we have to wait a very long time for poorly implemented and spottily tested software.

Mine is literally useless with Bluetooth in my 2011 Toyota corolla. Will not stream music from any player on the phone. Does not route text messages through the car. Sometimes it will route a call through, but only once or twice. After that it will pick up through Bluetooth. But no sound so I have to put speakerphone on. Like I said, useless.
I have now turned Bluetooth off and use my work blackberry with the car and it works fine. My old windows phone worked fine too.
Between this, the constant lag and freezing, poor home screen implementation, and sometimes poor audio quality, don't know which is worst.
Its been much worse for Bluetooth since jb and got worse again after the most recent update. Whats the point?
Not helpful I know but it is my experience.

It bugged me to all hell. I really wanted to like the RAZR MAXX HD, but I ended up getting Galaxy S3 and I never looked back. Pairing my phone with my car was too big of a deal breaker for the RAZR. Hope they fix it though, I did love that phone.

[Q] Bluetooth streaming not display track information on car stereo

displaying*
I have a Kenwood car stereo with Bluetooth A2DP and AVRCP capabilities, however when I use Google Play Music to stream music, nothing shows up on the display. The music plays fine, but no track info I've tried apps like Power Amp and Rocket but they don't seem to manage either.
My friend's iPhone manages to stream track information over as well, so I know there's nothing wrong with the stereo unit's capabilities of actually doing it.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Each system will interact differently with individual bluetooth devices. Sorry I can't be of more help then that, just wanted to point out that it's mostly random what will work or not.

Isn't that what standards like AVRCP are meant to resolve?

Hey hey hey. I've got a Kia Optima 2013, and I had this issue once. Granted, i'm using the stock radio with bluetooth capabilities, what worked for me is resetting the entire radio console. I don't know if you can do that, but resetting the radio might help.

I experience the same thing in my 2011 F150 with Sync.

I'll try resetting but I somehow doubt that will work since I got the head unit after my Nexus 5

I know in Android 4.2 and earlier track info was never displayed but I haven't had any issues since they added AVRCP 1.3 support in 4.3. I know the iPhone supports AVRCP 1.4 but that shouldn't be needed to display metadata.
Are you on the stock ROM? I know I have had bluetooth issues with my car on some custom ROMs while it works flawlessly on stock.
Edit: You could also see if there is a firmware update available for your head unit?

It's possible; Mine didn't start doing it automatically, this first happened about 4 months after i got my car [new] and my nexus. Could just be bluetooth issues, but I think resetting it may do the trick; of course, you'll have to delete the car in you nexus and re-pair again.

Mine does the same thing on Spotify when it starts playing automatically when i get in.
If I unlock the phone and open Spotify the track info works correctly for the rest of the drive.

I'm not rooted and have no custom ROM on my N5. It's as it is as it came out of the factory.
I have a custom ROM on my Nexus 7 (Cyanogen) and it fails to display track information, too, if that's of any information.
Checking firmware is the first thing I did. Everything was up to date out of the factory.
I'll have to try re-setting the whole thing. I just hate doing stuff like that 'cos I've set the EQ and speaker balance up just how I like it and will have to do it again! Ha. v____v

Tried resetting the head unit - no luck.
Are there any ROMs that implement AVRCP 1.4 that I could test?

I installed CM11 on my Nexus 7 and paired that up.
No luck through Google Music BUT through Poweramp it displays track information perfectly... The plot thickens.

Any updates?

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would check and see if any progress has been made? I just purchased a kenwood receiver and I am not getting any track info from Play Music, Pandora, or iHeart radio. I'm baffled as it is a *somewhat* modern phone and a new receiver, I am shocked and frustrated that something simple like ID tags are not displayed.

Unfortunately no. I've just come to live with it now. Even after the Lollipop update, I get absolutely no track info on all my music apps. iPhones still work fine. Super annoying!

Thank you for taking the time to respond, even though that is sad news. It seems that what phones work with which receivers is somewhat arbitrary, which boggles my mind. I've read plenty of threads elsewhere where the N5 did provide track info and it was other phones that didn't. But alas, that is not the case with our setups, apparently. I just saw that 5.1.1 OTAs were going out. Crossing my fingers for the unlikely chance that this is a fluke bug that will be fixed with the update....

OPO Pandora In-Car HU Controls

Hi,
I have a Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS DVD Receiver installed in my car and it has the Pandora app on it. This allows it to display the artist name, song, gives the ability to thumbs up/down from the touch screen itself and is useful.
I was able to use this with my Nexus 5 but when my OPO is connected via bluetooth this isn't available.
Does anyone know what the difference between the N5 and OPO is in regards to being able to launch the pandora app on my headunit?
Looks like this feature is called Pandora Radio Ready.
Thank you.

Which ROM are you running? I have the AVH-X2700BS and running CM11S (XNPH44S) on my OPO, both bluetooth audio and Pandora control works decently well. I almost exclusively use Pandora over bluetooth audio and typically with about every 5 or 6th song change the song info will not change, but upon switching to the next song it will. If that makes sense. I've have no issues with Pandora control over bluetooth as well although i've had very little usage .
Now, the reason i ask which ROM you are using is because i recent upgraded to CM12 (YNG1TAS17L) in hopes that it would fix or mitigate the touch screen issues i've been having lately. After updating to that, when i stream Pandora over bluetooth i get no song info and the controls don't work at all. I did not try the Pandora control.
Question for you: Do you contacts sync properly with the HU? My contacts say they sync yet there's nothing under phonebook but recent calls does show the names and numbers properly.

I have a Z150BH. Just tried Pandora via bluetooth for the first time today. Pandora seems to work as designed, and controls work fine. It was just a short drive so will put more time into the eval and get back any meaningful changes of thoughts.
What I would like to do, however, is 'cast' my screen to the Pioneer unit. Thinking a wifi weather, then WIFI direct ought to work, with a Netear HD adapter.

I'm running stock CM12S but it hasn't worked with 11 or 12. My contacts and the dialer sync perfectly and when I use the "bluetooth" function on my headunit I can stream and control the phone fine but what I'm trying to use is the app.
For instance in this screenshot:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/PUSA/Images/Product Images/Car/AVH-X3500BHS_angle1.jpg
The bluetooth icon on the top right works fine, but the pandora icon second from the right on the top row does not even light up as an option for me to use (where it did when I connected my Nexus 5).
This is what I want to be able to use:

I think you have 3 options...
1) Wait for a possible fix in an upcoming update.
2) Find and flash the bluetooth stack from CM11 (not sure if this is possible or available)
3) Go back to CM11.

Is it a bluetooth stack thing that prevents some headunits from seeing certain phones over others? (Such as Nexus 5 vs OPO).

I'm not sure if that's a BT stack issue or incompatible protocol, etc. Maybe someone else with more knowledge can chime in on this one.

Interesting, looking at the phones on phonearena it looks like the N5 has v4.0 and A2DP whereas the OPO only has 4.0.
I wonder if A2DP is the culprit here.

bluetooth audio not working with my car

Hello,
After the Oreo I had issues with my bluetooth syncing properly to my car. I drive a 2017 Corolla iM and never had issues with my music bt audio syncing before. My phone calls with my b.t works just fine . But music apps like Spotify / Google music doesn't work. I found a workaround using my aha radio app that came with the car and played my music with b.t through there just fine. So I know it's not the music apps problem . My girlfriend iPhone 7 bluetooth with Spotify works just fine, and it syncs into my car. But I don't know why mine stopped working.
Thanks,

You're not alone. I too am having the problem. I hope Google fixes this soon. If not, sad to say I am probably never buying another Pixel because this is ridiculous.

Hey, I found a workaround. Basically using my old nexus 7 tablet with Spotify and my pixel with hotspot for my tablet and then listening onto the n7 device. both bluetooth are turned on with n7 for music and my pixel for phone in my car options.You can use any other devices as long as it's not Oreo.

Would flashing a custom ROM fix this?
It's very annoying. My Volkswagen Golf (with RNS 510 Version S) will connect automatically with calls, but to get bluetooth audio streaming working, I have to manually disable bluetooth and then reenable before it will be seen by the car.
Prior to 8.0 this worked automatically.

At the moment, I have A Sena 20S for my motorcycle and an Plantronics headset, and if I activate Google with either one, using the buttons or just hitting the google MIC button, no audio is heard by the phone over the Mic.
really causes and issue for me. Any idea if there is a fix, I also made sure that Bluetooth Headset is set to on. No go. Frustrating, I ahve 30 days, if this is not fixed, i will need to send it back ..
IM sure its just a patch, but when?
