no problems here. tested my ac p311, emerson em510 and plantronics backbeat 903.
I just tried it out with my old school bluetooth handset and it works fine...
It looks like your headset is probably the issue. what model is it?

i have Sony DR-BT21G which pair for both phone and media playback, but i cannot get my Sennheiser PX 210 BT to pair with media. They pair with phone which is kind of useless since they don't have a mic, but i cannot get them to pair for music playback. The Sennheisers worked great on my Nokia N900. Gingerbread is supposed to tweak Bluetooth so i am waiting for OTA update from my carrier (Wind) before i experiment with ROMs.
SOLVED found an options menu for the headset, unchecked use for phone, checked, use for media, and it works GREAT!
UPDATE: Sennheiser remote controls do not work. No NEXT TRACK, PAUSE/PLAY etc.
No problem staying connected to my blueant v1 or my car. What ROM are you on?
Works well with my Moto S9-HD and 8xxPlantronics headsets, both for phone use and music. Didn't notice any difference after gb update from stock.
I love nexus 5 and google music ! but my car is manufactured by apple fan boys and the bose audio it has only has ipod menus and plays music out of iphone only.
The audio system does support playing music from a usb device but google music doesn't cache the music in a plain root folder for the car music to identity it.
I can get an aux cable but I want to control music off my steering controls and don't want two cables for charging and audio to my phone at the same time, its just not convenient.
How can i resolve this ? Is there an app which gets music from google music and puts it in music folder on the phone directly ? What are my options ? I am sure some other fellows here have been in my position before.
Even if you do put music directly on the device. Almost all car head units do not support the mtp protocol that the nexus uses to read the storage of your phone.
Your first step should be to drop an mp3 into your nexus and check if your car can even read it

Also try both settings (MTP / PTP). As far as I remember PTP used to handle my Galaxy S2 as two seperated storages (one for internal / one for external). If I remember correctly they both appeared just like USB sticks when I connected it to the PC. The Nexus 5 should then bring up a single storage, since it doesn't have an external storage.
Hope this helps
Another question: Doesn't the device have the ability to stream music via Bluetooth? I use this method in my car and the music controls work great
EDIT: You could also try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer I know, it costs money but you can try it for like 15minutes and if you don't like it, just uninstall it and you'll get your money refunded

You were so right. I placed mp3 directly in the Music folder it still doesn't play it.

you mean when I connect the phone via usb I get options to whether use it as media device or photo transfer ? I have tried both its not working.
The bluetooth only works with phone calls and not with music playing.
I may sound funny but aren't there any apps or even hardware device which can get connected to nexus 5 and makes car system consider it as an iphone ?
Could also try this.

How about over bluetooth audio?

I don't have a solution for you but only a comment.
I think that it is complete crap that they manufactured the stock headunits in cars to be more compatible with iPhone than Android. Not everyone has an iPhone, believe it or not.

It doesn't work. The car bluetooth only take phone calls and doesn't support music playback.
If theres a kit of some sort.. anything ! I'll get it but I haven't been able to play music while driving for days now. Shouldve got iphone 5s instead, what a shame !

I hope this is ironic It's more like "Should've got an audio system which supports Android"
What about that app I mentioned before? Heard it does wonders

I know what you mean but the car is more like 30k and nexus 5 costed around 4 hundred. It worked perfectly with iphone, i would charge, play music, show playlists artists everything and would let me control tracks off my steering. This thing doesn't work at all. Not as a usb not as an iphone no nothing !
The app you mentioned, not sure how would that work considering that the app pulls up media from the usb or hard drive. Here we want to put the media from the device to the car.
Wonder if nexus 5 owners never had a car or what because this should be a very common problem. Why no one ever talked about it here on the forum ?
As far as bluetooth goes I am wondering how old your car is, and what is the make and model?
If the car is a 2012 model or newer then it really should work and if not it is the fault of the manufacturer. If it is older than that I wouldn't expect it to work. You will likely have to upgrade your factory stereo to something newer that supports today's Bluetooth profiles.
If it is a 2013 model I am shocked that it doesn't work, but if so you should have tested this before you bought it
But ya, the USB thing will never work.

I have a Nexus 5, and, I have a car. I use an app called utter! for hands-free operation of my phone while driving. I highly recommend it.
Since your car came with iPhone technology, however, I suggest that you get a used iPhone just for use in the car.

It's all gonna be based on your actual stereo unit because I have a Honda Civic that when I plug in an iPhone it charges and syncs my music, it even shows the album artwork. When I plug in my Note 3 or Nexus 5 I don't get any of those options except for charge BUT I am able to stream over bluetooth and it lets me control my music through steering wheel buttons.
Now I have noticed that on my Note 3 it doesn't display the right track information if I play music through Spotify but on my Nexus 5 it will actually show the tracks. I found that very interesting.
So basically, your stereo unit was made strictly for iPhone support.

Yep its 2011 nissan altima having bose audio system. So I believe I am out of luck. Basically you select a car on basis of several other factors. Phone connectivity wouldve been the last thing I would notice and in those days I was connecting iphone 4 without a problem.
Its more of a problem of phone manufacturer to make sure that it is considered as a usb music player when connected to a device.

USB mass storage was so useful. I hate mtp. So I had to use bluetooth adapter and I love it. I got this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CLYJ2I/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1388953809&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40 the price went up. When I got it, it was only 30+.

I have a 2010 Equinox and use this adapter. It works great for me as the audio in and a USB port are right next to each other in my arm rest. So I can basically have it charging all the time. Plus I never take it out so I mounted it with some double sided tape. The sound quality is great too.

Yes have been checking this one too. Lets see if the belkin works, otherwise will give this one a try.
I feel for you. Car stereos have been very Apple centric for a long time and I don't know why. I guess it stems from almost everyone owning an iPod back in the day. Things are finally starting to change though, thankfully. I'm seeing more an more stock and aftermarket head units specifically mention Android support.

I use these:
http://www.amazon.com/FlexSMART-Blu...8620&sr=8-1&keywords=bluetooth+fm+transmitter
Both receiving Bluetooth, One cabled to AUX input in my car, sounds great, and the other in an old work truck via FM transmitter (stereo sounds great, but too old for AUX or bluetooth). It was the very first 'good' experience I've had with an FM transmitter, most are complete garbage. Cheers!

I would like to plug my S6 into my 2011 Silverado factory radio USB so I can stream Pandora or similar apps. It recognizes my wife's iPhone but not my S6. Any help would be appreciated. Already tried SG USB mass storage enabler from the Play Store without success. I have another radio I will install soon and won't have this problem but I'm hoping for a solution in the meantime. Thanks in advance.
Happens in both my car and my wife's... IPhone work, not androids. My guess is well have to wait for Android auto to be popular, in the mean time use Bluetooth or aux.

Appreciate your reply. My stock radio only works for making calls on Bluetooth not streaming and when I use aux I hear a humming noise. Appears that I am out of luck until I get a different radio installed or buy an iPhone lol.
Hi,
I was just wondering if there is a way to make the phone connect automatically to the device if its in range, right now as far as i've seen it only does so to the last connected device rather than the one in range which is annoying if you have multiple devices like me...
Anyone?

Mine connects to my headset, mini speaker, other mini speaker and car just fine as soon as one of them are turned on. Works if it's connected to one of them already (like headset, then turning on car)

I usually only have 1 device at a time so its not connected to one when its searching maybe that's the problem

Mine connects instantly, whether or not it's already connected to something. I also never turn off Bluetooth.

Nah i tested mine still the same functionality doesn't connect automatically to anything but the last device, maybe its since i have about 5 devices in history i'm not sure...
Update:
In case anyone else finds this one.
I ended up solving the issue by disabling the following service which is a test service ? :/
BTtestmode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEqMVomePHg
After that the problem was gone and BT worked as it was intended
Wierd, my phone always connects instantly to any known Bluetooth device in range ! On OOS, and other ROMs !
Has anyone tried this or found any method of getting a HDMI signal from it?
Thanks
Steve
I'm a bit clueless about that but I took the usb-c cable that I use from my laptop to my external monitor and plugged it in to my Note 10 to see if anything would happen. nothing....
Hi thanks for your reply. So you normally use a USB-C to HDMI cable for your laptop to monitor connection but it doesn't work with the Note 10?
Bummer....
Tried yesterday to connect Type-C to 3,5mm Headphone adapter just because i still had it from my Mix 3 and even that doesn't work
Gosh that's weird. At least it has a 3.5 mm jack.
I have a cheapy Anycast Wireless/HDMI dongle that worked with my Mi9. When I get home, I'll try it out with my monitor and report back.

Thanks for testing it. I'm still away, but will check the Anycast HDMI dongle later this week and report back.

Well I'm back now and have had a play, but can't get my AnyCast dongle to work. If I go into:
Setting/Connection & Sharing/Cast
and turn cast on, it scans for nearby devices but doesn't find any.
I've tried a few play store apps, including EZMira, but all say the device must not be rooted and mine is.
I did have it powered by the TV usb port, but also tried an external adaptor.
Has anyone got the AnyCast working with the Note 10?
Cheers
Steve
Next up was our new Amazon Firestick. The Note10 sees it, but won't connect to it.
Bummer
I tried the Amazon Firestick (V2/2019) today and it worked for some reason, but was intermittent. Eventually it magically worked, but full screen videos were choppy and sometimes the audio broke up. I notice that if I scrolled the screen, it was pretty laggy and once again, broke the audio up.
Then I changed the wifi on the Note 10 and Firestick from 2.4GHz to 5GHz and bob's yer uncle. Works fine with no delays, choppiness and audio is fine.
I've ordered another from fleabay as my wife gets upset when I plunder the TV for my projects. Can't think why....
I intend to use it with a PC monitor, so I'll be able to get the TV on it too. Life is good....
Well the fire stick arrived and it seems to work mostly fine. The old boot of a monitor I have doesn't have HDMI, so I used a HDMI->DVI adaptor which works.
The only issue is that the resolution is a little high and the monitor complains.
Is there any method of reducing the cast screen resolution that anyone knows?
Cheers
