Bluetooth issues - Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there the Oh so wonderful XDA community. I recently purchased the Alcatel Idol 3 and Watch combo off of Amazon for my father as a replacement for his Note 2 and so far he has been loving it.. Except for one issue.
As the title says he's having some slight Bluetooth issues and is only able to connect to the watch itself and other phones. He generally used his phone to connect to his truck and as well as his Bose speakers but the Idol 3 is unable to do so. Any idea as to how to fix this issue or if it's a widespread thing?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am experiencing problems with Sony Ericsson MW600 and Plantronics Explorer 50. I am unable to perform a call through BT even if I select it on the call screen. The only way is to reboot phone while device is still connected. After then everything works fine.

When you receive your headphones, could you please check if Song titles (stock music player) and Caller IDs (caller name) show up on the screen?
Will test them extensively... as far as i could see from a youtube video with a motorola phone, the callers number does show up...

Song title is working on stock music player and Play Music. But only caller number show up, no caller name.
caller name shows up sometimes on my mw600. I own it for about 2 years now. totally worth the money.

looking at reviews on amazon this is an old device with so many negative reviews. Be careful it don't seem to be worth
I have them, but does not connect with bt of S4, I tested with several cooked roms. With the Galaxy Nexus I worked perfectly.
I have ordered a similar one last year from ebay, works great i do not use it with my headphones tho, i use it in my aux cable in my car, so I have a bluetooth in my car for only $23

I've had this bluetooth headset a few years. The biggest drawback is that it only got Bluetooth profile 2.1, but all the A2DP functions and Caller ID and played music track is shown. I can be paired with 3 different devices and it has an RDS enabled FM radio. I have yet to find a newer small stereo bluetooth headset with radio at this price. I'am however thinking about getting a Sony SBH50 as it looks like a decent upgrade. It got Bluetooth 3.0 and also an FM radio function. The MW600 is probably not a bad choice, but why get 5 year old technology when you can get the newest at almost similar cost?
Wasn't aware of this one... looks pretty high end! I wonder if the message reading options are available for the s4... would have gotten this one if i had seen it before. In white to go along with my phone.

PIONEER AVIC F700BT How To Stream Music

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-F700BT
Hi Guys,
I've had this In-Dash Navigation for several years now and back then, almost everything was only compatible with iOS. Now that I own a nexus5, the only way I can play music is through AUX cable. Does anyone out there own this In-Dash Navitation and know of a way to stream or play music with any Android phone?
I know this is way off topic but it's been driving me nuts and the XDA community is awesome and knowledgeable.
Thank you,
You can use bluetooth can't you?

Bluetooth only works to make and receive calls. I was thinking if there was a way to Mod the unit.

I have the Pioneer AVIC-X910BT, pretty much similar to yours.
It's not a "clean" looking option, but I have a Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth adapter, and a short male to male headphone audio cable. Here is a link to the item I am using:

Problems mirroring to Bravia TV

Hey Guys
I have a Sony Bravia W700B series TV and a Sony Xperia Z3.
Before I had the Z3 I had a Z1, which connected seamlessly with the TV when making use of the Throw or mirroring options.
Then, on the same day I got my new Z3, my TV did an update and now mirroring doesn't operate smoothly.
That is if it connects at all. It's usually a few tries, even a reset later of both the TV and the phone. When it does connect, sound is out of sync and big gaps of the streaming video just doesn't make it to the TV.
Because the TV updated on the same day as I got my new phone, I dont know which is the culprit.
If anybody can help I would appreciate it do much.
Thank you,
Johann

Nobody seems to have this... One person had issues with a Samsung TV, but then it resolved after an update... So it's likely my TV...

Hi there,
I just tried my w850 and it doesn't even want to connect, my previous Z1 had no problems connecting to the TV, the Z3 see's the TV but won't connect. I am just downloading a firmware update for the TV and will try it again once that has finished. I will test the Z1 and the Z3 to see if it is a phone issue rather than the TV.
I will try a w700 later today, which I had issues with the sony throw software with Xepria Z and Z1 playing raw video from the movies app.
Edit;
Throw works well with w850 and my old Z1, I couldn't get it to work at all with the Z3, it just displayed a message saying that it was preparing.
Screen mirroring worked well on both phones, maybe the Z3 seemed a little more laggy moving around the screens, however when playing youtube videos there was no issue and the video and audio was in sync, tested wifi and wifi direct (my wifi is wireless AC so heaps of bandwidth).
Edit2; tried my other w800 sorry thought it was the 700, had all sorts of issues using throw after I first enabled it, however after restarting the phone, it worked fine as the Z1 did previously, shipped videos did not play using throw from the movies app. Youtube videos played fine with no syncing issues.

Thank you for all your trouble. Last night my phone also worked fine, no idea why or how but it did. Maybe I reset it at some point and that solved it for me too. Thank you for checking...

My problem is back. I tested it tonight with my friend's Z3 and it had the same problems, so even though the problem could be Z3 wide it's not specific to my unit. The sound is 5 seconds or so out of sync and big bits of streaming media simply doesn't make it to the TV from the phone. It stutters and is basically unusable. The steaming function worked perfectly with my Z1 but my TV did an update and I got a new phone at the same time and since then I can't throw from my z3 to my w700. Anybody with this issue?
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm having pretty much the same problem with my Z3, and my fiancé's Z3 compact. It'll connect to my W850A, but it stutters like crazy, and keeps disconnecting.
Nexus 4, Nexus 5, LG G2, And Z2 tablet works fine.

I tried it on my Roku, it works fine, can't use my TV (LG 47" from 2011) as it doesn't support Miracast. So if you are having issues it might be the TV's firmware.
So are you using wifi direct? or connecting to the TV via a wifi router?
@Johann_London and @shilent have you tried restarting your phone to see if that clears up the problem?
It's connecting directly to the TV... So no router involved and it's using Miracast. The guy above is also having the same issue with his Z3...and compact. So its looking like an issue on the Z3's side... Wish I still had my Z1 to test it. It's really annoying cos the feature is pretty much unusable now. And it's been months. Sony need to sort their stuff out... How can they want to be wanting a bigger chunk of the market if they let you down so badly and for so long?

Thank you for checking. Super annoying. My Z1 was fine... Maybe if Sony stopped churning out too many phones a year with too little time to perfect each one and rather just introduced one, working flagship a year it would be better for us all. And yes I read, that is what will be happening after the Z4...
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Agreed, the support for the phones dies too quick. Sony have worked out finally because of their sales, that release cycle does not work, because few people are going to slash out $600+ every 6 months for a phone every 12 months could be Christmas and a lot of people have the product on contract so can't update until that expires.
I have a Z1 as well, so will continue testing it to see if I can get my phones to stutter the same.
I have the same issues with my Z3 Compact like Johann_London.
Sometimes my telephone reboots and I have to pull out the power cable of the TV because it shows no reaction anymore. TV is Sony KDL-40R485B...
Does anyone have a solution for that problem?
Working very well on Z3 Lollipop and Bravia KDL-60W630B. Brighthouse TV App, Slingbox and 4K recorded video from the phone is stutter free. It seems to take a little time to settle down but working fine after a few minutes.

Hi! I have Bravia KDL 32W 700B and the same problem while mirroring using my z1 compact music play like scratched cd and screen tears in between like half becomes black and with weird patterns.
But i found a way to reduce it, i think sony tv has problem with 5ghz band.
As I switch off one touch mirroring and wifi direct it works normal. I can't complain to sony engineers because they are pathetic they even don't tv has wifi direct or not.

Mate 9 pro mirrorlink question

Hello everybody.*
At first I must say it's nice there is a forum where you can find so much help with a lot of thing regarding phones.*
I hope my English I understandable, even though I'm from Denmark.*
I am the happy owner of an Huawei mate 9 pro. Really a good phone but I got a little disappointed when I upgraded my cars stereo to an pioneer sph-da120.*
I really thought that Huawei was up to date with everybody else on the market when it comes to mirrorlink, but sadly no.*
So my question is after of have tried nearly anything in the range of a rookie in phones firmware.*
Is there anybody out there that have a way to get mirrorlink working on huawei with other apps rooting and so on.*
I saw I an article that Huawei p10 is supporting mirrorlink and also in another that they have joined up with vw in 2016 to give people the option of mirrorlink with new cars, so anybody knows if there's and update on the way or is it a lost cause.*
Best regards
Do you mean MirrorShare? If so it works fine between my Mate 9 and LG WebOS TV.

No I mean mirrorlink. Mirrorshare I have and working fine but that requires WiFi and not a lot of cars has this or aftermarket stereos they all use the mirrorlink
Oh I see, my bad.

That's okay.
cant you just connect to your car stereo via bluetooth?
Well I can and have. But the whole idea of mirrorlink is to have everything you use on the screen on the stereo. It's a really nice thing.
The next step would to root my p9 pro to use ARU Unchained where you actually get your whole screen with background and icons over so you actually can control nearly everything with out using your phone.
Here in Denmark you will be fined for using your cellphone even for music via Bluetooth if you want another album or so. But not for using your stereo.
So for me mirrorlink is a feature that I really do like to have and I'm sure I'm not the only one
never even heard of that feature, and I have been using cellphones for 20+ years in the usa
Well it's something here there have been a lot about the last few years here. A lot of phones had it but not a lot you could use it for here but now it's really coming through so you can see my disappointment when I discovered a rather expensive phone doesn't have this feature. It's part my own fault because I really got my Eyes on the p9 pro before I bought it and on the other hand I don't understand why the chose not to have it in this phone.
