[Q] Bluetooth Headset, Vzw GS3 CM10.1 RC5

Searched around google, xda, similiar threads, couldn't find any help, so i finally decided to make an account and look for some help.
I recently updated from my stock GS3 to CM10.1 RC5, and paired with NovaLauncher, i love it. But i ran into my first real problem today, and havent been able to find a solution. I have a logitech wireless headset (Model: H800) that i use sometimes for making calls where i need to use both hands while on the phone. Ive always used bluetooth to connect my headset and phone and it worked splendidly. This is my first time trying to pair the devices since upgrading to CM10.1, and my phone now will not recognize the headset. I cant connect them through normal wireless, so im not sure what to do. Will updating to the new 10.1.0 fix this? Is there a patch somewhere i havent found? Any help would be appreciated.
Relevant info:
Verizon Galaxy S3
CM10.1 RC5
Nova Launcher Prime
Logitech H800
Bluetooth not connecting for the 2 devices.
I have to go to the store, so i wont be able to respond right away, but ill be back in a little while if anyone needs any more info/has questions. Thanks for looking!
Bluetooth hasn't worked quite properly for a while in AOSP. I went back to TW for that reason.
If you want AOSP and want fully working Bluetooth I suggest SLIM version 4.2.2. Also don't update the kernel from stock on SLIM.

[Q] Bluetooth carkit issues

I always owned an "Android" phone (nexus, nexus 4, s4).
And always rooted it and installed numerous custom roms.
Last month is made a switch to a iphone 5s.
Although everything works, i am missing something.
This is the reason i bought a nexus 5.
With the help of this forum i always managed to fix (work around) any issues.
But now i do need your help.
Received my nexus 5 last week, and loving it already.
Directly rooted it and installed custom roms.
But......
I do have a problem with bluetooth and connecting to my carkit (Opel Insignia DVD9000.
Installed multirom, to try different roms (cyanogenmod, slimkat, and several others.)
Most of the times the phone will connect to my carkit, but will not read the phonebook.
Did search here already, any of the solutions given (apps or other tips), did not work for me.
Even restored the originial rom, and unrooted the device, didn't fix it.
Is this a nexus 5 problem, or a kitkat problem ?
Today i installed the latest nightly of cyanogenmod.
But that did not fix the problem at all.
Wouldn't even connect.
After that i installed latest franco kernel, and...........
It works.
No problems connecting, it even reads my phonebook.
Same for The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Nexus 5 and the new LRX21 on my Nexus 5 now, and it will not pair anymore with my Radio in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
4.4.4 no problems at all....
what has happend with Bluetooth in Android 5.0

Strange Bluetooth Connectivity Issue

I have a gogroove flexsmart x3 that i use for bluetooth streaming in my car. It originally pairs just fine. Now whats supposed to happen is after the original pairing has been done, it should automatically connect once i start my car again. However on my nexus 5 I have to press the "unpair" button and then resync the two devices again. (as in have my nexus 5 search for my flexsmart x3).
this has happened on stock and every custom rom i've tried so far. this issue doesn't occur on my galaxy s4 or iphone 4s.
If you can help me then thanks!

Same exact issue happened to me. Can you provide us with some more information. Has the device been rooted ? Custom rom or custom kernel.

[Q] bluetooth connectivity issues between one plus one and my car(2012 bmw 328i)

I had same issues with my nexus 5. I bought one plus one thinking that I would not have those issues. but i was wrong.
I can pair my phone with my car but it disconnects after a minute or so. It will try to reconnect and disconnect again. it goes on until i disable my bluetooth on my phone.
it is very annoying. does anyone know if there is a way to fix it. I am on latest release 38R.
Ask bmw if there's an update for your system.
Have you tried a different ROM, such as Slimkat?
I have ALWAYS had issues connecting my Nexus 4/Nexus 5 to my STI when running any version of CM10/CM11. Switching away from Cyanogenmod solved the Bluetooth connectivity issues with both phones. Slimkat has been the most flawless on my Nexus 5.
My OnePlus One arrives early next week and I plan on immediately rooting/installing Slimkat for this reason. CM11 has had bluetooth connectivity/streaming issues since day 1 and the Cyanogen team has shown absolutely no interest in fixing it in every single new release. It's quite frustrating really.

My OPO (38R) don't work with connected drive. I can go to the internet but BMW online don't work (the request page not found).
It's don't work with LTE but it work if my OPO have and WIFI connection... I try with another rom (slim kat and CM11) and I have the same issues.
BMW online work very nice with my SIII with HDSPA connection.
Only BMW online doesn't work, I can play music in bluetooth, phone with the car and go to the internet. :crying:
i had an issue with BT w my nexus 5 when running CM11 on it with my Audi, but seems like no issues with 33R for me... or 38R for that matter. so not sure sorry
Maybe it's my operator...

Samsung S6 BT call issues

I just got an used S6. It's a 920w8 on Telus with Android 6.0.1. Bluetooth music works fine, but when I try to make a BT call the sound is very garbled with multiple BT devices. Knox is tripped on it. I tried a factory reset. What else can I try?
Did you try the BT device on another phone?
Maybe the problem isnt the device...

I tried two BT headsets and the car. They all work with other phones.
I just reflashed the original rom and still the same. Could this be a telus rom issue?
I got the BT to work temporarily by flashing nougat. It worked for a few hours than it was back to ineligible crackling. Wiping/restore did not fix it. I reflashed MM(same issue), then I flashed nougat again and it worked for a few hours. Not it's back to crackling during phone calls. Music works well all the time. This is nuts...
In golden griffin I get no voice whats so ever, even on the headset.

Try another nougat rom like nemesis or the noble s8 port as griffin is not working on the t/w8 variant.

I just tried XtreStoLite. BT calls worked for about 10 minutes. All I did was intalled youtube and updated google services. Headset calls still work.
Maybe I should flash the W8 modem file on it's own? What would be the best W8 modem rom to flash?

One thing you haven't tried is using a custom kernel, bt performance and reliability isn't really a modem issue. For mm noxxious kernel is best and can be found in original development
Same thing with other kernel.
I reflashed XtreStoLite and it did not work at all the second time. It's really hard to figure out a pattern and what triggers the issue. If music did not work I would just write if off a hardware issue.

Honestly not sure what else you can try at this point, when you BT call does the issue happen wherever you are located? Like does it happen just at home or is it wherever you are?
Try using arter kernel and report back what happens. Make sure you choose the exynos 7420 section on his website.
http://arter97.com/exynos7420_kernel.htm
That is s6 edge chipset, he also enabled his kernels to work for our T/W8 devices.
Used to use xstrestolite and arter for an amazing combo.
