[Q] Bluetooth Pairing to Car Audio - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anybody else had trouble getting the Z3 to pair with your car's head unit? I have an Alpine CD player with bluetooth which paired fine with my Galaxy S4 but won't connect to the Z3. It fails because of an incorrect pin. However, the phone never prompts me to enter a pin. I've read that this is a known issue with Sony devices where they hard code the pin in as 0000 so if the device you're trying to pair with has it set to 1234 for example it will just fail. I've tried several suggestions such as trying to share a contact to the cd player via bluetooth to force the pairing as well as a couple of apps that try to pair with the device but they all seem to use the system's bluetooth pairing app.
Anybody else having this problem or know of a workaround/solution?
Thanks

Iam not sure if my situation is quiet the same but My bluetooth works fine when transferring pictures but recently tried to play music through bluetooth and although both devices paired up , They dont stay connected? It connects and then disconnects within a second or two!!

I found the solution to my issue in case it helps anybody else. With Alpine (perhaps others) you can only have 3 devices paired at once. My old phones were still stored so I had to clear them. So really it was just a case of terrible error messages. The head unit just said "Failed" when it didn't connect and the phone said incorrect password or pin so neither were helpful.

Bluetooth auto pair app?

Is there an apps that auto enforce pair on detect?
It seem my jabra 500 on my car hardly ever auto pair up as soon i enter range.
Seems like an odd question... pairing and connecting are two seperate things... once paired, you don't have to pair again, then connection will happen automatically when you're in range... I would think about replacing your jabra, as it seems to me that it doesn't work...
that, or re-flash your x10, as it's probably just not working properly.
Android seems hopeless and connecting automatically after pairing. Never got it to do it, not with any device of any sort.

[Q] Issue with Bluetooth

I am having a weird problem. I tried connecting my Gnex to my parrot bluetooth car kit, but by mistake entered a wrong pin. Now the parrot keep showing up as a paired device, even though when I tried to pair initially it said pairing unsuccessful. I have tried to unpair it like 1000s of times, but it doesn't do anything and it keeps showing up as paired.
Anyone seen such a problem, or know how I can fix this?
Thanks a bunch !!

[Q] Unable to pair to bluetooth car system

Hi.
Have read around the forum a little, and haven't found much info in regard to the problem I'm having...
Am currently using the Opensensation Rom from 13/05/2012...
I am unable to connect bluetooth to my car's handsfree bluetooth audio... I tried connecting it to a blackberry and my laptop, and worked fine. However, it connected in a different way to normal. Normally, I've had it ask for pin number, and put in the default 0000. However, on the blackberry, it came up saying something along the lines of "device trying to connect, number 2837346". On the phone, it said "ensure the number on other phone is 2837346" or whatever.
When I connect to the bluetooth in car, it says "Couldn't pair with Ford Audio because of an incorrect PIN or passkey". But, as said, it doesn't ask me to enter the passkey...
So, any ideas of what the problem is, or how I can solve it? Tried changing the radio to see if that would help, but no difference...
Please help me get this sorted. Need the handsfree for phone, and only just got this phone... All other phones previously have worked.
Well, it appears that this is a problem with the ROM itself, as using another ROM (Revelation HD 6.6.4 XE), and it pairs fine with my car bluetooth...

[Q] bluetooth pairing issue, how to solve?

Hello, so i bougth this great phone, but bluetooth pairing(+autoconnect) is not working at all.
So to the proplem. My opo IS paired with my alpine car stereo, but everytime i go to my car opo asks IF i want to pair it...and obviously it should just connect automatically since i have paired it earlier but no.
Is this some known issue with opo or my device just making me headtache?
IF anyone have had same proplems i would love to hear how you managed to fix it.
PS. All my old phones automatically connected to car stereo after pairing once, so its most definatly opo issue and not the alpine stereo.
Okey, i got this solved by doing 2 things, but because im stupid and didnt test it between these actions i cqnt say which one did the job or was both needed.
1. I cleared "paired devices memory" from my alpine stereo.
2. I cleared paired device list from my handset(opo)
Hope this will help someone else in future who got proplems with alpine receiver and opo.
Problem solved! bluetooth pairing and buffering issues
Hey problem solved
I had bluetooth pairing and buffering problems and now everything works perfectly. what I did was flash OPO_OxygenOS_1_0-modem-flashable.zip (you can find it somewhere in google docs..don't remember the link)
anyway after doing that everything works perfectly.
I am running cyanogen 12.1 nightly build from 20150601
then I flashed the modem.

Technical solution...too much ?
Hello All,
I too was facing issue with the Bluetooth connectivity. My headphone "Jabra Halo Smart" worked perfectly fine with other android devices but my OnePlus One. Issue i faced was that my at times my headphone would get detected but the headphone controls wont work. It was really irritating as i could not use the functionality of my headphones.
What i did was went into the Bluetooth options. Clicked on the setting icon beside my headphone and unchecked and rechecked the options.
Another action i performed was un-pairing the Bluetooth headphones from my device and resetting my headphones paired setting.
Third option was resetting the Jabra app that i installed on my mobile.
Fourth action is restarting your OnePlus device.
The above actions i performed in different orders. So one of them should surely help.
Suggestion provided by OnePlus Call Center: (which i did not need to try )
--> switch off the device
--> Press power+vol down button simultaneously
--> Select English language
--> wipe cache partition
--> wipe cache
--> reboot device
Advice while using Bluetooth headphones or speakers (especially Bluetooth devices having the functionality to connect multiple devices)...switch off the Bluetooth device and then switch off the Bluetooth of the host device (mobile, laptop, etc) and then connect the Bluetooth device to the other host device
Do not keep two host devices Bluetooth on...at times it causes to store the connection setting in the cache causing the Bluetooth device to act strangely. :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops:

Can't Pair Bluetooth Requiring Passcode

I recently upgraded my AT&T Note 8 to Android 9 (Pie).
All has been good until a few days ago my phone lost its Bluetooth connection to my car.
I attempted to pair the two together again, several times, but failed. The point of failure was when the car asked for verification of the Bluetooth passcode which never showed up on the phone.
The car can see the phone, and the phone can see the car. But the passcode never shows up on the phone.
So I tried pairing with my desktop computer, which also requires a passcode, and it fails there in just the same way as the car...no passcode shows on the phone.
I have no problem pairing devices that don't ask for passcodes, like BT headphones and speakers.
To remedy the issue, I have tried clearing BT cache/data, and I even tried clearing the phones cache partition...no good.
My current firmware version is N950USQS6DSG6. Do you think upgrading to N950USQU6DSH3 will fix the issue? Or is there some simple setting that I am missing? Perhaps a developer setting?
Thanks for any help you can give.
