My nexus 5 is paired to the PC but I have no handsfree option when connected. anyone came across this? microsoft bluetooth stack on the lapptop which is samsung np9003xc (series 9). Anyone has similar a problem?
The paired Nexus 5 properties shows handsfree telephony gateway but there is nothing in the services for that. Services only shows Send File, Play Music and Synchronize PIM Data.
I wonder if the problem is due to the stack or anything else.
Any ideas?

Are you sure the laptop is supposed to act as a headset?
Please can you use proper thread titles?

Sorry about the problem with the thread title - somehow I didn't get it right and have no idea how to fix it.
Getting back to the issue at hand - I've read extensively and I can't understand if the problem is on the side of the laptop - a Samsung Series 9 running Win7 64-bit and having an Intel Centrino advanced n-6235 wifi/bluetooth combo card or on the side of the Nexus.
As far as I can understand what would be needed is a2dp support which in win7 isn't built in and has to be supplied by the bluetooth radio vendor which maybe intel didn't do so although the service shows up in the bluetooth device properties (Nexus 5 in this case) it isn't really working so I can't use that option.
I'm sure others may have come across a similar problem and I would like to know if there may be an issue on the Phone side as well...
Thanks,
Ehud
The phone options are determined by the bluetooth device at the other end. If you can connect to a bluetooth headset properly, that rules out an issue on the phone.

My touch pro seems to have real bluetooth issues with my JVC KD-NX5000 stereo system. My kaiser worked flawlessly with it but with the touch pro it wont pair at times and when it does it wont let me use any of the many functions that the stereo offers (voice dialing, downloaded phonebook, etc) I assume this is a problem with the ms bluetooth stack and was wondering how tough of a job it would be to switch to a broadcomm stack or if anyone has thought about making a custom rom with the broadcomm stack. Just curious if Im the only one with issues with wm 6.1 and bluetooth.
i have the same problem with my diamnd anbd jvc car audio
Slightly OT rant:-
I had the opposite problem with pioneer + broadcom...
Pioneer only looks for handsets which identify themselves as phone or smartphone, and my device identified itself as a pda.
I actually told pioneer about the problem, and rather than forwarding on to the developers, I got a stock reply:-
"This phone is not on our compatibility list" (so we don't care)
So I went and got an MS based phone (you can change it to smartphone with a regedit).
Never buying pioneer again...

Similiar issue with my opel carkit.
Tried to make the broadcom stack working, but got a memory error when opening its blue tooth manager.
After uninstalling, bluetooth didn't work at all anymore, needed to perform a hard reset.
Has anyone successfully installed the broadcom BT stack on the touchpro/raphael?
I found that my Touch Pro would pair and then drop out when connecting to my Kenwood DDX5032 car stereo bluetooth adaptor. I couldn't dial from the Kenwood kit, couldn't use A2DP (wouldn't even connect), and really couldn't use any Headset Profile functions at all.
I persisted with pairing and unpairing in different ways (you can initiate the pairing from the Kenwood itself rather than the phone), but nothing really worked.
Then trinode's post about changing a registry setting sent me down that track and now everything is working fine
I found the relevant setting from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290871, which is [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\sys\COD], and then changed the HTC TP default value of '5898764' (decimal), to the value from my old Dopod838Pro, which was '5374228' (in decimal).
I didn't even need to repair the Kewood to the HTC TP - it just worked straight away, as if it said "Oh, sorry, did you want me to work? I thought you wanted me to be in 'stupid' mode! My bad - everything will work now."
So all good, and thanks to trinode for pointing me in the right direction.
Codenix.
After hard-resetting my Touch Pro to fix another separate issue, now this problem has come back and this time changing the COD value hasn't fixed it. It would appear my previous post may have attributed my success to the wrong thing
The search for the answer continues!
I found a firmware update for my Kenwood's bluetooth adaptor which fixed the problem. I don't know why it ever worked at all before this update, but there you go!
I'll create a separate thread to share this with others in case anyone else out there has a Kenwood bluetooth kit and a Touch Pro or a Diamond.
Thanks.

@ Trinode
Pioneer sent my unit back, but never told me that my phone was not supported. Where did you flag the smartphone in the registry? Did it fix the BT connection/unti reboot issue? I had a AVIC F500BT (sold it) now have a AVIC X910BT same issue as the 500 had.
@ Trinode. I found the hack , tried it, but it still doesn't resolve my issue. Are there any other mods out there for the BT Stack prob?
Heya guys,
I'm having some major issues with the default ms bt stack in regards to connecting my dell bh200 stereo bluetooth headset. I can connect to it to play stereo music but it refuses to pick up calls, the moment a call comes it, it disconnects itself immediately. I'm wondering if this is an issue with the MS stack. Is there a way for me to change the bt stack into widcomm's or something like that? anyways, drop a message if you know something. thankyou very much!
I'm having a bit of trouble with the bluetooth on my unit as well. Are you able to send files to your device using a bluetooth dongle on your PC? or files from other phones to your Touch Pro?
hi i'm trying to pair my bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200) but everytime i put the pin number (that is given by the bluetooth headset) it always said "Your Device did not connect with Samsung WEP200. The connection Failed or the passcode is incorrect".
how to install the hotfix (the hot fix from HTC website) on my HTC Touch Pro? everytime i copy the .exe file into my device, and run it, i always got an error box. Incorrect Device, "Please use the correct Device to Install This Hotfix program!" i don't know how it happen, i download this from HTC support page. i select the phone (HTC Touch Pro) and in the "Software Download" tab it show that there are 3 available download, the Hotfix, the Rom and Application.
i really need help....... pls, someone that have the same proble with theit HTC Touch Pro bluetooth connection.....
I can send files to my PC, the bluetooth connection in general is ok, but when it comes to having the the stereo bt headset to pick up a call, it freaks out and the headset turns itself off. any ideas on that?
/bump to page one for help
what do you mean bump to page 1 for help?? i post a thread before, but no one help me to solve the problem... i'm really frustrating to paired my bkuetooth headset.... =(
i just wish people who have the same problem and already solve it can help me....
what I mean is that you need to stop posting help me replies to every single post there is about bluetooth in effort to get others to help you rather than the original poster. what it also means is that stalking every bt related post and copy/pasting your problems for the same reason (as mentioned above) is also pretty rude. if you would like help, make a thread or search for it while having a separate thread.
there are people on xda that are well versed in wm6.1, but it's a matter of being lucky enough to have them notice it or happen to have one that knows about this stuff deciding to help.
p.s if you need help w a specific issue, start a thread, not derail it for your own personal benefit please.
p.p.s i'm not trying to be a jerk, it may sound like it but i'm not in the mood to be one
Are there any other bt stack options for wm6.1 or am I short out of luck?
Pushhh to page one.
Hi all,
I've upgraded from my Nexus 4 to 5 and I've found that when I make or receive calls in my new Mercedes A Class the person on the other end can't hear me so seems the mic isn't working through bluetooth. The N4 has absolutely no issues with this and I could do everything. The only extra feature I've gained with the N5 is that I can now read my text messages on the screen where the N4 didn't but didn't even know that was there.
Anyone either have a Mercedes and having this issue or does anyone know what it could possibly be? It's a bit useless if I can't make or receive calls while driving and annoying that they could've gone backwards making it less compatible than the N4 was.
Only thing I thought was possibly Mercedes aren't compatible with the latest BT version but then again it should surely be backwards compatible.
Any help appreciated.
Alex
I have no issues in my CLA45 AMG. I have not used the text feature but voice control with the mic is spot on.
I did have a dealer update for the COMAND system off the lot that updated Bluetooth compatibility.

Thanks mate, strange that this is my second device as RMA'd my first for something else but that didn't work either.
I've gotta go into MB and see about something anyway so will ask if there's anything they can think of. I've not got COMMAND only the Audio 20 system so not sure if that gets any updates.
Same thing

FX35 has same exact problem
Shouldn't be anything to do with newer Bluetooth profiles, mine works perfectly with the old COMAND in my CLS which uses the Bluetooth puck in the armrest so must be using fairly old profiles. In fact I'm really pleased as it doesn't suffer any of the disconnection problems that loads of android devices suffer from like my old xperia did and I gather most Samsungs do to.

Hi all,
I just converted from iphone 4s to the new Nexus 5 and when I try to pair it for bluetooth hands free, the car display says "ready for telephony" but the car doesn't show up in my bluetooth devices on the phone. And yes bluetooth is turned on on the phone. My iPhones paired just fine. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Have you selected for the car to search for device/phone or device to search for car? I had to select search from device so they both aren't searching at the same time. Try turning the bluetooth on the car off and then on and select search from device/phone, on the phone hit search for devices and see if it picks it up. After I hit search for devices the car showed. I was able to easily get it working both ways as long as I did it the right way round with one searching and one being visible.

i am not sure i am following/understanding correctly.
i turn bluetooth on on my phone then hit the "tel" button on my console and it says "ready for telephony". On the phone where it shows devices it has found, it does not show MB. Above the found devices i click to so that my nexus 5 is visible (for 2 minutes, it also shows the count down in parenthesizes) while the display on the car still says "ready for telephony" and still get nothing. could it be that the car is still searching for my old iphone? i dont know what to do.

Just putting it on the telephone screen won't get it ready for pairing it's just ready for any existing connections you have.
On my MB's screen after choosing to add my phone I have a choice whether to search for the phone via the car or to search via the phone where the car will then just remain visible without searching itself. You must have an option to add a new phone? When I changed phones it still let me add my new one even when my N4 was still listed. Maybe take a pic of your screen to show what choices you have?
When the car is ready for pairing it may just list a string of numbers (BT MAC address I guess) until selected and then it will change to MB something or another.
Whenever I connect my phone by Bluetooth to my car's stereo, only the front speakers work, nothing from the 2 rear speakers. I've tried adjusting the fade and checking settings in poweramp but still nothing. I'm not sure if this would be an issue with my phone, the ROM, or the car audio system. I'm thinking it's an issue with the car's audio but I figured I'd ask here in case somebody else has had the same issue. I am on liquid smooth 3.0 April 24th build with elemental x kernel but I had the same issue with my galaxy s4

I have no problem with nexus 5 and my car Bluetooth connectivity.
Make sure that your audio system, GPS and make and model are compatible with the bluetooth from the phone. Some other connectivity issues are that the car kit cannot decode the Bluetooth device that it is trying to connect. This decode means that the system cannot recognize the name. This is a frequent problem when devices have been upgraded. While your system may have worked fine before, upgrades can cause problems because the compatibility all of a sudden changes. This is an issue that has not really been addressed by the manufacturers.
Another frequent problem that can occur is that the Bluetooth will connect but then it will not stay connected and only one speaker is running,. Many times this can be a hardware issue.
So the bluetooth device can connect but it does not work properly. In this case there is an issue with the stereo connection to the Bluetooth unit. There is nothing actually wrong with the bluetooth or devices but this is a software issue. To fix it see if the manufacturer is offering any updates. If one person has had the issue then you can bet that many people will have the problem. This is a problem with the car kit software as no matter which phone or earpiece you use the audio will not play from the speakers. Check that the vehicle supports bluetooth audio as some only will support bluetooth phone calls. These are 2 very different things.
Most of the time, look into the settings for the bluetooth and the car system. If the car battery should die then the system may reset to the defaults. This means that all of the current settings will be lost and need to be reset. Not only will you need to check the settings in the car system but also in your phone or other bluetooth device. In order to correct the bluetooth settings the device will need to be connected to the computer.

I have an aftermarket Kenwood double DIN deck with Bluetooth 2.1. It connects perfectly fine, shows up with Nexus 5 when pairing, shows the song title, shows the name of the person calling... It works great when plugged in through the aux port, but of course doesn't show me any information that way. When I had the S4 it showed up as SGH-M919. It stays connected just fine and I had it playing for a while before I tried turning up the volume and noticed it didn't sound right and figured out the rear speakers weren't playing.
I just checked and noticed there is a somewhat recent update on Kenwood's site but it was still about 3 weeks before I bought the deck... I'll try doing that though. (edit) just checked again and the update isn't for my model, there's no software for it
Thank you for answering since I'm pretty sure now that it's a problem with the stereo and nothing to do with Android lol
Kind of embarrassed to admit it but...I did have Car Toys install it so... they probably didn't do a very great job. I knew I should have had either Best Buy do it or tracked down a friend that could do it. Oh well
I am referring to attached screenshot which is from a tutorial on Youtube, at https://youtu.be/q2_Q_m7hGxs (at 02:54)
In the tutorial instructions are given for making calls with a mobile phone (presumably Android since the model shown is an HTC EVO) through a PC's microphone and speakers. So in other words, instead of using the phone's own speaker and mic, or a connected headset, all audio goes through the PC.
Note the option "Headset and speakers" in the screenshot.
I have tried to replicate this with my Windows 7 Pro and Xperia Z4 to no avail. No such option is available.
Does anyone here know what the missing part is? Does this functionality depend on the Bluetooth stack installed on the PC? If yes, does anyone know any stack that offers this functionality? If it isn't the bluetooth stack, then what is it?
Thanks.
For posterity, in case anyone else needs this information. I found a solution slightly different from what I first wanted but which may be even better. Details below. But first a word on the original solution I was attempting. Android does not support this. Nevertheless, some Bluetooth stacks on Windows implement this, somehow fooling Android into believing that the connection is to a bluetooth headset, not to a PC. The stack that was mentioned here and there is the one from Widcomm. I tried installing this on my PC but failed.
And here is the solution I settled on eventually. Instead of messing around in Windows, I bought a bluetooth hands-free device designed to be used in cars. Only that I also use it on my desk. And even in the kitchen when I'm busy there. The model I bought is the Jabra Freeway but there are others. Works like a charm. Why it's better than what I wanted: because I can use it everywhere, including in my car where I also listen to podcasts and YouTube talks on the thing. And also because it allows me to conference parties on Skype (on my existing PC setup) with parties that call me on my phone, the traditional way.
I've combined this with a software called Just Remote Phone to control my phone from Windows. Perfect! (www.justremotephone.com)
