Bluetooth syncing. - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm planning to pick up a S6 next week but I have one quick question. I have used Samsung devices in the past and the one thing that pissed me off that was that if I had my headphones connected and I paired my device with my car or Bluetooth speakers the audio would continue to play through the headphones and I would have to disconnect them before audio would play via the Bluetooth device. Is this still the case with the S6?

I will try to remember to test this out. It might be BT-device-specific, though.

Bluetooth stereo issues

I have had a Motorola S9 through 3 phones and have had no problems, my first Imagio had no problems, my replacement Imagio however, when I am listening to music via the S9 the music gets choppy and cuts in and out. Has anyone had any issues with bluetooth on the Imagio?
I am having issues with my bluetooth hands free. In order to use it i have to have the phone within a foot or two and nothing in between for the sound to come through clear. I would also like to know if there is any kind of fix for this
I don't know if this will be any help...but here are some registry edits I did to clear up the stereo audio quality over bluetooth.
I also use the Motorola S9 headphones and have had no issues.
For me...the music seems to be crystal clear.
Let me know if it works for you...
---
You can always try a hard reset to see if that clears up the problem.
my phone did the same choppy play back then i went to verizons website and looked up the s9 head phones it come back not compatible i did not feel like calling verizon to confirm this tho.
i was think about stealing the headsets from my older son since he likes his $10.00 skullcandy ear buds they were on sale at target during christmas
I like sony earphone
i like sony too
3 plantronics BT headset that will not pair.
1 Samsung stereo headset that will not pair.
My Imagio sees my other phones, my wife's computer, Dell Axim, my Nextar BT hands free.
The problem don't appear to be with BT itself because it does seem to work. Why can't my Imagio pair with this stuff when other devices can?
Is it possible that the Imagio doesnt have a stereo or streaming audio profile?
I suppose i should try pairing my motorola stereo earphones and see for myself.

[Q] NOKIA BH-604 Bluetooth headset with DHD falters?

Hello there,
I have my DHD now for about 3 months and thought I could add some accessories so I bought a NOKIA BH-604 Bluetooth headset. I have to admit amazing quality!
easy to use and connects/ pairs easily.
But I noticed something weird, the music falters randomly or whenever I move and thats killing me!!
I thought it was the headphone being incompatible with the DHD or the headphone being broken.
Once connected to a nokia phone I didn't have those problems also connected to a HD2 running NAND android cyanogenmod, the same, no problems at all
so could it be my phone
Their are apps on the market for blocking out headphone controls, I've only heard of this problem with wired headsets but it may also help you.

HTC Car StereoClip (Aux) Audio Bridge (CAR A100)

Hey all
I just ordered this clip and am excited to get it. I am just wondering if any of you geniuses can add the software to our Sensations to support the aptX audio enhancement CODEC?
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/accessories/htc-car/
Premium music for those on the go
Wirelessly stream music from your HTC phone through your car stereo speakers with the Car StereoClip (Aux). Just plug the adaptor into a 3.5mm auxiliary port, and listen to premium, authentic sound thanks to embedded apt-X enhancement.
Are you on Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Either way you should let us know how it works w/ your sensation.
Maybe that's why we're having BT issues on 4.0 ports... the new codec? meh, just a random thought.

I am on Android Revolution HD 6.6.3 XE so Sense 3.6
The Stereo clip should be shipping at the end of this month.
I'm very excited for this! I've been looking for a good adapter for AGES! I was about to buy a bluetooth adapter to a headphone jack to stream my phone audio to the car stereo via bluetooth to headphone jack. But this looks perfect and reliable. Hopefully it'll work out

Just wanted to add that this dongle has an imbedded battery (6-8 hour estimated), with a micro USB charging port.
I hope to be able to hide this away in my car, and run continuous power to it so I don't have to take it back out again. Hopefully some reviews with good info come out
Since it's a Bluetooth adapter, would it work with other phones via A2DP? Or does it work specifically with HTC phones using a proprietary connection/codec (aptx)?

The way I understand it is that it'll work on either.
Hey all, well the HTC Car StereoClip came in today. I am very pleased, it works just like advertised. It lets me connect via Bluetooth to the clip and play Music thru to my car stereo. When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth.
First quick impressions, audio quality is fine. What I am really wondering is would audio quality really jump up in quality if we had the aptX audio enhancement CODEC in the Sensation?

Have you used an auxillary cable to play audio through your car stereo before using the clip? If so, how would you say the audio quality compares?
I currently use an aux cable to play music through my stock stereo on my TSX but the quality is pretty mediocre...

OK, so I guess that means that the phone (One X in my case) can't connect to both this device AND my bluetooth built-in car kit - one for streaming music and one for phone calls?
My car (BMW) has a factory Bluetooth kit installed but, unfortunately, it doesn't support music streaming. I have been using a cable to connect my phone's head phone socket to the AUX-in port of the car and this has been working fine. Music streams via the cable and get's muted when a call comes in via the Bluetooth kit and then un-muted when the call finishes.
I was hoping to pair my phone to both Bluetooth devices and have them working simultaneously, one for music output and the other for phone calls.
Too much to ask for?
Software fix?
...When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth...
It really quite stupid that you can't also use this devise for phone calls. When a call comes in, it should remain using the BT. I wander if there is a way to make it work? Perhaps some sort of software or app or something to make this happen...

I guess thats why they also sell the car mic (v100) as a separate piece to the car accessories stuff.
I have both on order, but both are in backorder. Expansys.usa for the car mic and sprint.com for the stereo clip. I'll let you all know how it all works together.

Can you confirm that indeed call does not come through even when there is only a single device pared (mobile and A100)? That would really be shame as this might have been the perfect solution for hands free calling, having mic from the phone for outgoing audio and car speakers for incoming audio.
The easiest way to tell is just to look at the bluetooth pairing settings for the stereoclip, is it just pairable as a media device, or media as well as phone?
Hey All
Ok I wanted to give an update. I am extremely please with StereoClip.
My car is a 2005 Cadillac STS with Nav and factory Blue-tooth for phone but does NOT support Blue-tooth Audio. So I have had to use the AUX in for Pandora until now. The stereo is the factory 15 speaker BOSE system plus a Kicker 10" sub in a custom fiberglass enclosure with its own 1,000 watt amp.
Tonight I just compared the sound quality of Blue-tooth vrs being wired/plugged in. I was nicely surprised that I could not tell a bit of difference in quality. This was done parked in my garage with the car on. I listened to Jazz, Rap, Latin, and Techno. I listened for bass quality, highs, openness, and to my surprise I could not truly tell how I was connected. I was positive that being connect via blue-tooth I was NOT going to get the same sound quality, that I would give up some quality for convenience. Well at least in my 15 min quick test of starting a song listening to it for a min or so then switching how its connected to the car stereo and continuing the song I could not hear any difference. Very happily surprised.
Then I drove for dinner and decided to see if my phone would also pair to my car at a blue-tooth cell phone at the same time will listening to music and it did. My Sensation was paired to the HTC StereoClip and to the Cadillac at the same time. I made a phone call, Pandora paused, The call connected I spoke for a min or two then hung up and then Pandora resumed. All worked perfectly.
So the StereoClip works perfectly. I'm thrilled.
Thanks HTC.
P.S. the only little annoying thing is, for me to pair to it I have to actually press the pairing butting on the StereoClip and then tell my Sensation to connect to it. So its two additional steps I need to do EVERY TIME I get in my car. Kinda a hassle but I feel its better than seeing a wire and being hard wired to the car....

I'm glad you like it! I'm curious of what ROM you are using right now. And would you mind testing it on AOSP based ROM??
Please see attached screen shot to see the exact ROM.
I just rooted my phone (any phone) for the first time several weeks ago. I am extremely please with how my phone works. Someone asked if I could try a different ROM, honestly I'm a believer if it works don't fix it, so I really don't wish to mess with a new ROM for now. So sorry.
Jerry
Got my Stereo Clip in today
And I must say is very nice! I use to use the aux cable to connect the phone to the head unit but with this lil puppy its just bad a$$!
My setup:
I have a BlueAnt S4 (on sale btw on dailysteals.com for 20 bux in the USA I think, sorry!) and that plays media through its speaker. So all my navi voice prompts can be heard through the S4. And the profile the S4 supports is phone audio of course and media audio.
Now I introduce the HTC Car A100. Pairing was easy peasy. Then jumped in the truck to see how this works. I pulled up poweramp and started a track. Then turned on the bluetooth on the phone. Now both the S4 and A100 is connected to the phone. However when connected the music started playing though the S4.
I then went into the bluetooth profile of the BlueAnt S4 and unchecked the media profile. This will then in turn only be used for phone calls only, which works because the A100 cannot play the calls through the speakers. I restarted the track and viola, the music started to stream smooth as silk through my speakers. And it's nothing like the FM transmitters for ipods, this is clear as my aux cable!
I have to say I have not received a call yet with both running. I'll report back on how this functions in my setup. I hope it works lol...

best smartphone accesory I've bought in a long time

Got tired of wearing a bluetooth headset in the car and was considering upgrade my car's audio system to something that would have bluetooth.
Just by luck I found this bluetooth adapter that once connected to my car's audio system, gave it all the modern capabilities.
No more headsets, no more fiddling with turning volume down on maps, so that I could make a phone call.
My Galaxy S4 now streams audio to my radio, when a call comes it is pauses the music, or when maps has some voice guidance, it also pauses music and then continues afterwards.
Same when I make a phone call... music pauses and continues afterwards.
This company GROM Audio makes bluetooth adapters for many cars.
FYI

That was really nice to know about such product...can you post or share the link....if you have found it somewhere online...
A Bluetooth Stereo have been one of the best things I have ever put in my car, in my case an aftermarket Sony Deck.
This just makes everything so much easier and less cables around the place. All i need now is one to charge my phone and that is it. Even when I'm with friends I can have them connect using their phone and play music while sitting in the back seat.
If you just need it for music and want to save some cash you can always use one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/390534336745?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 provided you have an aux input,

Been looking at these as well recently as the CD player in my car at the moment only plays standard CDs and not mp3 CDs which is a pain.
But these really are a bargain, just need the aux cable which is about £6 and I'll have bluetooth audio!

Going from the cassette adapter to bluetooth was one of the best things I've ever done
thanks
nice find
..
I don't trust things on ebay. I just bought this one a few days ago, works great!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AGQMQC/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ED5SRWG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=s601000020-20
Only $12 and it works like a beast. Since I got it I saw another one just like it for $9.99.
However, I would like to have simultaneous multi-device connecting and the phone audio so I will be getting something more.

Thanks for this. I'm gonna order this for both my vehicles and try it out. Hope it's as boss as you say.
Putting my hope and $20 on your comment.

$20? Oh, you are having to pay for shipping? That sucks.
You really need to get a Prime membership. I have had it since they first offered it years ago.
Anything marked "Prime" (big or small) ships for free via 2-day FedEx air and you get free Kindle borrows and free streaming of movies and TV.
All for $80 a year. I have Kindles and I buy stuff from them all the time so I make out like a bandit! :good:
But yeah, the thing works perfectly and since my Mustang came with a power point and aux in jack inside the center console, it is invisible and just flat works.
When I get one that will also pipe the phone audio through the speakers, this one will go in the Motorhome for sure.

Jiayu S3 USB Audio support

Hello everyone,
The Jiayu S3 is my daily driver for like 2 and a half year now. Sadly enough, my 3.5mm headphone jack stopped working previous week. This is quite a bummer since I listen to music on my phone all the time.
I did some diagnosis and I concluded that my 3.5mm headphone jack is broken / doesn't connect well with the headset anymore, causing my music player to skip tracks or pause when you touch the headphone jack.
Since I don't want to purchase another phone (yet) I searched for an alternative solution. I found this cable on the internet:
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Micr...lgo_pvid=23ef89fa-7a24-45ee-bb9d-e92e877bfe05
Does anyone know if this cable will work with my Jiayu S3, or did somebody ever try this out?
AS far as i know, this is not supported
Can't you just buy an SMD jack, and ask in a store to soldered it?
it's not that hard ...
Or, you could try using some nice BT headphones ?
