[Q] Bluetooh & ROM - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi guys,
I just got a car with bluetooth but it is not playing nice with my SIII. Other peoples' phones work fine, so I am guessing that it is the ROM I am using.
Anyone have any suggestions for a ROM that works well with bluetooth in cars? Currently I am using the latest version of SlimKat.
Thanks!

Yeah pretty much any stock rom will work as expected. I use to HATE touch wiz but after being stranded on 4.3 I realized I have had zero issues in the past six months and with a different launcher I have no complaints.

Thanks guys - I'll start off with Wicked Sensations and then go stock if that still doesn't solve the issue.
I'll report back on how it works.

Hellfire 2.2 P999 bluetooth doesn't work.

Yeah I've been there, however I can't post this in thoes forums because I'm a new user. That's why I posted it in general. Was hoping other people was having the same issue. So far there is one post but he doesn't make any sense and I cant be sure that is related to bluetooth calling via earpiece. Looks like I have to go back to stock root 2.3.4 since no one can seem to get bluetooth working worth a damn on ANY rom.

Ok, Just installed EaglesBlood's 2.3.7 with the March 2012 BB fix. Same thing. I guess it doesn't matter what rom it is. The bluetooth problem is the same. Will not work when trying to call. Very dissapointed with all the roms i've tried so far. Very frustrated.
Its a known issue with all ROMs that have been fixed to work with the new BB, the only ROM not experiencing the issue are 2.3.4 OTA based ROMs.

BT also not working on the CM9/ICS ROMs? Thought was fixed on EB ICS

I've tried Hellfire Sandwich ICS. Same thing. Doesn't matter if its GB or ICS. Like the prior poster above states, its that damn March 2012 BB update. It's a pain in the butt. I really want to get off this stock rooted 2.3.4 rom. Hellfire's Pheonix 2.2 rom is so awesome! Love the ICS look. HFS is awesome although it has known issues still (1.8) and it suffers from the blue tooth thing. Bummed I had to rip both of them out and go back to stock. I sure hope somone comes up with a fix for it. So far T-Mo's stock 2.3.4 based roms are the only ones working.

Try and get as many people to star that so perhaps the developers won't keep telling us it's "Hit or miss" and not a big issue.

Keep switching back to more stable touchwiz roms from CM!

Is anyone else having this problem? As much as I love CM10.1 and etc., I keep finding myself going back to say CleanRom. Does anyone have perfect stability on a 10.1 rom? I lose data, then get that fixed. Then I lose GPS. Just a hassle!

I find that TW roms are more stable, and after going from beans b7 to cm10.1 I find cm boring and lacking in many software areas. However, it is still a great ROM just a matter of personal preference

I've been on aosp pretty much from day 1 and don't ever see myself going back. Sure some of the betas and alphas had issues, but I've been on aokp milestone 1 and have 0 issues!! Everything works, and I get over 4 hours of screen time per charge.
Not too mention the unbelievable amount of tweaks that an aosp ROM allows you!!
The only thing I miss is the TW camera, not that the aosp is bad.

If I can find a tw rom that allows me to hear blue tooth phone audio while using the headphone jack for auxiliary media playback, I'd be all over it. I can't understand for the life of me why Samsung is the only manufacturer who can't get this right. It's idiotic and a safety hazard when try to answer phone while driving!

Is there a milestone of 4.2.1 from Aokp? I'm on a linario build of cm10 and I must say its really nice. Everything works and the battery is insane. The other day I was at 45% and had 16+ hours. I was not getting that good on any TW ROMs.

I like it. Its stable and everything works. I am waiting to attempt 4.2 later. I got sick of hearing that data was working then having to spend hours going back to 4.0.4.

I'm just the opposite. I'll try out a TW ROM, here and there, but I always end up going back to Baked BlackBean. I have had no issues regarding data, or GPS, with Baked.
There is a milestone for cm10. The 4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. I have been running cm10 m1 for weeks and everything works perfectly. Like I said 4+ hours of screen time plus all the customizations make it too hard to go back to anything TW based.

Not trying to be a jerk but when people say everything works perfectly and I go into said ROMs thread only to find bugs it annoys me. Can we please work on stating that "it works perfectly for my needs". Right in the first post it points out to possible issues with GPS, call volume, music players, tethering and bluetooth.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you said it yourself "possible issues" it doesn't mean that everyone will have issues. We all know that ROMs behave differently on different phones. What I stated was accurate. CM10 M1 works on my phone with no issues. GPS, call volume, music player tethering and Bluetooth all work with no issues.
sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
Same with me. CM10.1 is great, but if I need to use my phone in an emergency, I want to know I have a phone to rely on. And tethering doesn't work (At least I think it doesn't work).
no issues with cm10.1 on vzw gs3 but..
I have a rooted vzw gs3 which i ran the stock tw root with 4.2 for awhile, and then switched to cm10.1 and i haven't lost any of the features, but my question is how do we move apps 2 sd in that rom? i have looked and poured over the forums and have found that the devs fixed that , but no guide on how to do it? can anyone help me ?:cyclops:
samsung gs3 rooted running cm10.1
galaxy tab 7.7 rooted with tw for now
retired - original droid, droid x, droid inc, galaxy skyrocket, motorola xoom, galaxy tab 1, and forever rip, ipad and iphone 4s (apple bites!)
I'm sticking to CM10 for now. The 10.1 builds have too many bugs for me. As for right now, I'm pretty happy with CM10.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I may be lucky but I haven't experienced much of the problems people claim in CM10.1. I doubt I'll ever look back at TouchWiz-based roms.
Personally, I've never used CM on any of my devices, I've always used others. For instance, I ran stock unrooted Touchwiz on my S3 for a couple months, then I switched to Liquidsmooth, I had that as my daily driver for at least 6 weeks, but the FC's and data dropouts were too much to bear so I went looking for another ROM, I installed Mean Lean Jellybean Machine Build 4 and loved it, so once Build 5 came out I switched to that, and have been on it ever since! I think I'll be staying on this ROM for awhile.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S III using xda-premium
TouchWiz is actually an awesome oem skin for Android. It gets unfairly attacked because people think AOSP/CM must be better.
My personal experience: after rooting never used cm10.1 went straight to finding a good rom. Used executioner 2.5 liked the feel, speed, and battery life. Felt very stable. Tried cleanrom but started experiencing some bugs, switched quickly. Currently im running superchargedwiz rom kyjelly and it seems very stable i closely compare it to executioner 2.5 although im not getting the same battery life as i was getting on executioner but supercharged is very smooth. If i can figure out ktweakers kernal that came with supercharged, i know its possible to tweak it just right to get the right battery settings. My suggestion if your looking for a good rom to play with try one of these 2.

Fitbit wireless sync vs non-TW Roms

So apparently Samsung has special software related to the ability to wirelessly sync your Fitbit's via BT 4.0 to your GS3.....
I just got a Flex...and am running CM10.1 - wondering if anyone smarter than me can figure out why/how it works and if it can work on non-touchwiz ROM's
or perhaps can figure out a way to port that bit of code over so that it will wirelessly sync
Thank you kindly...
I would be interested in this too. So far I have only got it to work when I was briefly back on stock TW.
I'll also weigh in on this request. I'm running PA (over on the non verizon s3 here in the UK) but that doesn't have the option to bluetooth sync which is a shame.
Also curious, just got a Flex today.
It isn't syncing with my GS3 either, but I am running AOKP ROM so wondering if that is the problem.
Has anyone successfully synced the Fitbit Flex to a GS3?
It's the BT stack. Samsung has a different stack than AOSP, so it works natively with TW ROMs but not AOSP.

Fitbit wireless sync
To got FitBit to Sync finally with my custom rom (ProBAM 4.4.4) .
edit the /system/build.prop file...
you can use the Build Prop Editor from JRummy. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
change the:
ro.product.model=GT-I9505G
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
and save those settings, reboot, and now Fitbit will try to sync now. YAY!

LiquidSmooth 2.7

Haven't seen anyone post anything about LiquidSmooth, but wanted to let everyone know it's available via Goo. Been running it for almost 24 hours and it seems very snappy and stable, no issues to speak of. Its an AOSP ROM for anyone who doesn't know, so you'll need gapps. I'm not affiliated with them in any way and all credit goes to the LiquidSmooth developers. Just a fan of the ROM!
If this post isn't allowed, just lock it. Or use as discussion about LiquidSmooth since there isn't one for s4...

Your in the right area, everyone is cool, I hope. Does bluetooth work consistently? and I had drop calls right in the middle of a call, random, but there. The rom rocks actually, but those are major bugs to me.
I was just about to post about this. Downloading the ATT build as we speak. Not sure why they haven't made a thread yet but have our carrier build made. Any way, it's nice to add to the ROM selection around here. I was checking out other carrier's ROMs, saw liquid and jflteatt on their goo.... *Profit*

Awesome!
LiquidSmooth is VERY similar to SlimBean feature wise, except for they run a normal DPI out of the box.
I was always switching between these two on my S3.

Don't really use Bluetooth, don't even have anything to test around with either. I'm hoping that when the 'Google Edition' is released that all the feature drivers gets ironed out for AOSP. Camera, BT, GPS, have always been janky with TouchWiz phones on AOSP.

I've been running this ROM for three days? now on my Galaxy S3.
Smooth, fast and stable. No issues that I've found yet. Though, it does seem to take a while for my phone to charge. Battery life is excellent though. Love Halo being added to it as well. Also Halo settings kinda stick... but nothing major.
Great ROM.

I have always liked CM. I'm not real fond of sense I guess I;m not used to it. I like CM because it is ease to use and it's simple I just like the ease things in life. I don't like you have to reboot 5 times to get this to work! or you got to type this to get that to work that's just not for me. That's why I like CM sorry to ramble on...
