Issue for me is car bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like every minute, the whole thing just does not work properly.
BUT SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY ROM< I MEAN ANY.
Just plug your phone to a charger in the car and thats it. it prevents deep sleep and it will not drain you battery as it's charging.
!!!Suggestion, if you have a usb slot in the car, use it to charge the phone, as cigarette lighter charger most likely will create a wake lock that will prevent your phone going to DP after you exit the car.
Res.
I appreciate all your efforts.
I'm one of those with bluetooth issues only on UCLD2 when connecting to my JVC car stereo to play Pandora or other Internet radio. I have not tested or used MP3 stuff.
I tried Mohans ROM, then update, then the beats audio, then the UCALC4 kernel. All in that order, testing each time. None worked for me.
Thanks though
I've also tried the bluetooth fixes 1 & 2 from Seanz's ROM from last week. Have not tried the 10 version yet. But some others are saying it didn't resolve this particular issue either.

I got it to work and then it stooped again, then got it to work again so it seems to be ok right now.
I will post more detailed instructions in about an hour please check back.

Yep, U10 does not work on my phone. I just don't want to take away anything from Sean as he does great work, so can't say 100% it does not work, it just does not for me in this case.
I believe you are correct on the culprit being the music player.
I have been on Sean's Roms (update 9 for a few weeks and then upgraded to 10 whenever it came out). I stream to a Ford Sync system (2010) and I have not had any problems. 10, in particular, seems great. I use the phone handsfree via bt and stream music (Slacker radio) to and fro work. Also been using btooth inside the house to stream Slacker to a speaker system. No problems there either. But I have NOT used the music player app at all...

See I am scared to think it's FORD soft. that is the problem, as that would be so much harder to fix, they just came up with an update and new one is not coming. And it worked on Sean's ROM up until Update 7, which base of his are you using the GMAIL/no limit or exchange server one?
Also it has something to do with Music Player or files on the Leak, as sometimes it messes with USB input music and cant read the USB, and I disconnect the phone ant USB starts working.
Have you received a USB from FORD recently to update the software?

I also found this:
Interesting Find:

It supports KJ2, so maybe ICS is a problem(( But at the same time it supports ICS on other devices.

I think the usb update mailed for Ford is for later models (or mine hasn't arrived yet). For the 2010 there was only one update showing (Sync My Ride) and it was already installed when I purchased the truck.
No question the Ford Sync is "twitchy". My former phone (Atrix) would disconnect the btooth intermittently when streaming Slacker and would skip, often. I haven not (knock on wood) had these problems and I use the steering wheel control to skip songs.

yea my Edge is 2011, I got the update like a month ago, but everything was working fine.
Well I hope it's the leak issue, or I'll have to go back to GB, or run a Sean's older ICS with no deep sleep, can;t not have phone in the car and have music mess up my USB.
Since EMBRYO was mentioned. Anyways, I can only comment on FORD Sync (since the other one drives the edge). Make sure you have the latest Sync Update that rolled out couple of months ago (I believe it is v 3.2.2, I will have to double check). I have had zero issues, connecting with BT as fars as voice calling goes (of course on EMBRYO 2.3), but then I don't use the Car daily. With Embryo 2.3, you should be able to send text message not that useful unless you use the prebuilt templates, that comes with the UCLD2 base. I am looking into what it takes to get full MAP support in the next update, no promises, I need time. Also, I have not streamed music through so can't say. Also, the device recognizes PAN BT tethering, but the sync craps out, I am suspecting it is SYNC issue.

Wow, much appreciated mohan, I do drive the Ford Edge it has SYNC on it, they call it My Touch or something. Is that different then in your car? I did get the update on USB and it's installed, not sure which version. I am making an appointment for the dealer to reinstall it as well. I found a Sync PDF
The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.
I would defiantly flash your ROM right now would you recommend UCLD2 or the other Kernel for this? no matter what files I delete in root or how I rename the phone, BT Stereo still connect to the name of the phone I had a while back. How can I just format everything and do a fresh install of your ROM, I mean like everything? or that would mass it up?
I am even willing to go to Stock GB tar and then root and do everything again.
I found this PDF, Ford Sync only supports KJ2 on skyrocket, have no idea what that means
http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/sync/usEN/sync_us_EN_iop_2_00.pdf
Also, I hope I did not do anything wrong here or offender anyone by Mentioning Embryo as a possible fix.

See the ROM post #3 (question 1) for a fresh flash. I would highly recommend it, whichever ICS ROM you flash.

Possibly, but not for everyone.
In my case, I can feel the phone crashing DURING the initial bluetooth connection to my car stereo. The phone actually vibrates a few times while I'm setting up the pair connection.
But it stays connected until I start up iHeart Radio or Pandora or any other Internet Radio.
I don't use Music Player for anything and have never tested it either.
I'm having a similar problem connecting my phone's Bluetooth to my JVC stereo. When I turn on bluetooth, the phone is fine, but once I pair it (media and phone), it vibrates, works for about 10-15 seconds, then restarts the bluetooth. When it restarts, it is not paired by default, but if I re-pair only the media to the JVC, it works perfectly. It seems to be a problem with using bluetooth for the phone.
I've been using Sky ICS (through update 10), and none of the fixes posted before have worked (including freezing the stock music app). And for the record, Embryo 2.3 has the exact same problem with my handset and stereo.
EDIT: Correction above. I was able to get media to work once using the method described above, but I was not able to repeat this.
I can confirm that Sky ICS UCLC4 4.2-A-9 solves all of the Bluetooth problems that I have been having with both phone and media pairing to my JVC stereo. Note that this is the outdated UCLC4 ROM. I haven't found any UCLD2 ROMs that fix the BT issues for me yet, but I hope one of them does soon.

yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.
This thread specified only Second Leak.
It's been confirmed that if you follow mohan's instructions to do a fresh install in Embryo 2.3 and I mean oneclick and the rest, everything will work great on UCLD2. I have not done it yet myself, no time, but soon hopefully today.

IT"S A BUG on all three leaks.
You may not experience it at all, it ma only happen once in a while, or every minute, it can fix itself for some time.
Nothing is possible, just need to hope Rogers Official Release will work. (when it comes out)

i was one of the people having issues with bluetooth in the car and after updating to UCLE2 i no longer have any issues what so ever.
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....
I've searched extensively and can't seem to find the specific answer I'm looking for. Ever since my phone updated to 5.1.1 my Bluetooth media connection won't work, just my call audio. This really pisses me off because I JUST bought a new head unit for my car so I could stream audio from my phone. My phone is not rooted and I wasn't planning on going through the hassle of rooting this one. Is there a fix without rooting? If not, will rooting and flashing a custom ROM fix the issue? I see there are some marshmallow ROMs already out.
I'm on 5.1.1 and have to power on and off my Bluetooth adapter half the time. Phone doesn't connect to data wifi or blue tooth in till adaptor is rebooted. Says it's connected.
I've tried it. Turned off bluetooth and turned it back on, as well as went into the bluetooth settings and turned "call audio" and "media audio" off/on multiple times. For less than a second if I have music playing it will play through the car and then the phone kicks media audio off again.
After I'm connected, I can take a call and music resumes. I've had problems with some apps that updates have fixed. But not what your describing. Maybe one of the auto connect apps from the play store?

You cannot root the phone even if you wanted to because of the locked bootloader. Do you have the latest firmware update for your head unit? If not see if updating it may help. I have a top of the line Kenwood NAV head unit that worked without a hitch on my S4. When I got the S6 calls worked fine but I couldn't get audio to work. I found a solution on a Kenwood support site and now it works without any issues. Somehow settings were changed when I switch from the S4 to the S6. Also could there be an issue with your mobile data?
