Since upgrading to Froyo I have been unable to bluetooth pair with my headphones. I've just upgraded again to the latest Enom rom and done (another) data wipe - yet I still can't connect. Is there something magical I need to clear in order to start again with Bluetooth?
Thx

There are some weird issues I have been noticing with my SGS regarding bluetooth.
At first, I got slightly irritated when I found out I was suffering what I thought to be this issue on my SGS (noticed after flashing to JP6, later on JPX and now also on JPY). But since, I have been carefully narrowing down the problem (there seem to be several variants of the issue bundled within the one linked) and have finally figured out how to reproduce the error (sort of, at least in my setting: SGS-I9000, BMW 1series car BT system).
After setting a custom BT device name and pairing to the car, the BT handsfree works flawlessly on spot and if disconnecting and reconnecting later. The problem starts after rebooting. Now, here's where I'm getting inconsistent results.
Most times the bluetooth info I entered is simply reset to factory defaults: the pairing list is empty and the device name is set to the standard "Galaxy S".
Some other times however, it gets much more annoying: all the settings seem to be intact (pairing and device name stay as set) but BT connection always drops after about 60s (regardless of wheather you start/receive a call or not).
Is this a known issue? Did any of you experience this behavior? Any known fixes?
Thanks!

What ROM are you running? Get yourself onto the newest Froyo and see if the problem goes away. I definitely don't have problems with mine going to headphones, ear headset, or in car system.
Doc kitchen (jan 3rd) + Hardcore kernel JPY (which means latest kernel/drivers). This has been happening to me all along though, despite of rom changes (also happened with stock JP6 and darky's JPX).

Hi,
same problem for me: the bluetooth connection to my Parrot MKI9200 car audio system drops after a few seconds. This was not the case with ROMS older than JPX/JPY.
Are you still having this issue? I just flashed Serendipity 6.2 and have the same problem. When I reboot the Bluetooth settings are reset to default.

The issue disappeared on flashing to a new rom. I'm soory not to be able to give you more details because I found out the issue was gone by surprise (I had stopped using the car handsfree alltogether because of the issue).
Right now I'm on a Doc rom (hardcore kernel, JPY radio, ext4 system & data, ext4nj cache) and it works perfectly!
I am currently running Perception 10.2 and the Firebird 2.3 kernel with the I9000UGK4 modem.
My Bluetooth connects to my Ford Sync in my truck but disconnects the phone part of the connection after a minute and only keeps the music side. It also automatically starts the music player every time.
This is a new problem for me. Previously the WiFi seemed to have an issue and when I drove away from my house and lost the WiFi signal the Bluetooth would disconnect also. That was on Cognition. I could prevent that by turning off the WiFi before starting the truck.
My understanding is the I9000 modems sometimes have issues with Bluetooth static vs. HSUPA? I need the Bluetooth more than the data speed.
I ran the Firebird 2 kernel and Cognition 3 and the bluetooth static was so bad I couldn't use it at all.
Are there any Sync users running a similar setup that they like and that works with the Bluetooth?
Should I just flash a different modem or try a different kernel? My suspicion is its the I9000 based kernels but most of the custom kernels seem to be based on the I9000.
I use ford sync. I am using jk4 modem. I am not on perception and I am not using firebird. I have no issues with connection. So, if it means anything it is not the modem. I have been on jpy roms without bluetooth issues, and I am currently on andromeda which is an armani port. No issues.
Maybe try a different kernel although I am unsure why that would make a difference. I would suggest hardcores.
I had these issues when I was on stock 2.1. Sometimes it even used to reboot my phone.
I am Maxima SYNC by the way, but both should be similar. Now I am 2.2.1 based ROMs and able to talk on phone properly.
Something u could try:
1. Delete all bluetooth profiles from ur phone.
2. Delete the phone profile from ur car.
3. Restart ur phone and connect it fresh.
This resolved the issue I once had when on a 2.2 ROM.
Cool. I will try the complete Bluetooth deletes ( I have done them but not both during the same flash or re-pare ) and if that doesn't work I will try the ROMs you both are running to see if that helps.
Thanks for the help.
OK. So just in case someone else has this issue and uses the search function.....
Turn off the Bluetooth audio input selection under the media input area of Sync before trying to pair your phone.
It works fine to go back and select Bluetooth audio after you have started and paired for a bit, but if Bluetooth audio in is selected when you first start your vehicle it will kick off the phone part and only keep the music player connected.
It also automatically opens the music player on the phone and starts playing the last track. Which I would imagine will effect battery life if you have your phone in your pocket and don't notice it.
Not sure if this was happening with other Kernels and ROMs as I only noticed it with this one.
I've never had a problem with any rom not being able to play through bluetooth media on my gf's focus. If you go to the bluetooth options on your phone, hold your finger down the sync connection you can select phone, media and connect. Select phone and media if you want both to be available.
Go to the menu for sync in your truck, I think it's under player settings or something similar, but there's an option for autoplay on or off. Obviously, if it's set to off it won't automatically play your music.
Right now I'm on Serendipity 4.1, Firebird 2 kernel and jl2 modem with no problems. I've also used Cognition roms, and Perception roms, never had any of the problems you're experiencing.
I had a Sync-enabled rental car last week, and noticed it wouldn't stay connected if say for instance I left the car with the phone and still had BT enabled, then came back to the car and tried to just let it auto rejoin. I found everything went smooth if I disabled BT when leaving the car, and reenabled coming back.

It has to be set to your phone as primary to auto connect.
I have had Ford Sync disconnect problem ever since I got captivate in November. Bluetooth randomly disconnects. Both cog 2.3b6 and 2.3b8 gave me problem, although 2.3b8 works better overall. I didn't try latest cognition roms yet.... I have a tasker that turns off wifi automatically when bluetooth is connected -- it improves things, but still I get disconnects every now and then.
I really hope to find a permanent solution to this. This is the most annoying problem with my phone right now....
I had serious disconnect issues too until I did something similar to what someone else already posted.
1. On phone, unpair Sync
2. In Sync, perform master reset (system settings>advanced>master reset) NOTE: This will lose all of your settings
3. Reboot phone
4. Pair phone and Sync. Allow Sync to download phonebook. (If this disconnects, restart at step 1)
5. I always disable automatic downloading of the phonebook and autoplay of bluetooth audio.
Once I get a successful phonebook download with no disconnect, I will not have any more issues with bluetooth.
after upgrading to ICS stock rom, my car no longer connects to note. I have to re pair each time and have disabled screen lock to keep it connected.
i have done factory data reset twice... nothing works..
please provide a solution.
if no solution's available, is there any othe ICS rom which haven't got this bug?
No problems on stock ics for me with my car bt (ford sync)... connects just fine
Hello everyone. New owner of Motorola MB886 (AT&T Atrix HD) - bought brand new/refurb off local craigslist. Sweet deal, had it rooted, flashed Mexican Retail right away and then unlocked bootloader (just to try other ROMs in the future). Problem is the bluetooth. Wife uses the phone, can pair no problem to the Lexus she drives, but no audio coming in or out during calls. Everything else including streaming works normal. Sometimes the audio kicks in, after a minute or so of wait, for no apparent reason. Device is connected well, no drops. Is this a known bug with Atrix HD on the stock 4.1.2 (JB) ROM? I could see bluetooth being broken on Custom experimental builds, but wasn't expecting it to be the problem. Any fix or other ROMs with working bluetooth? I search and didn't see a dedicated thread, other then few mentions of various bluetooth problems. Google search problem is not limited to Atrix, many RAZR devices have same issue. Just wanted to know what my options are. Thanks.
On ICS, never had any problem with my Kenwood car stereo. Reliable pair, calls, music.
Phonebook works, except favorite contacts don't show up (must be a Kenwood problem).
SMS doesn't really work but then again it's been years since they were trying to support SMS on head units.
Also worked fine with a rental Cruze and actually the title of the current song was displayed on the car stereo (my Kenwood doesn't do that).
Is this it? No other confirmation of Bluetooth problems? Can I at least get a clue if this is a result of wrong flash or problem with the ROM, or any AT&T stock users having the same issue? To me it looks like phone connects using basic sound profile, not as headset. Thanks everyone.
Here is an update to my issue with bluetooth. I ended up creating a full backup using CWM recovery and did a factory reset. Then restored just the data partition (from CWM advance restore) and re-mapped the bluetooth. Everything is working like charm now. Lesson, don't forget to do factory reset after flashing, or if any problems arise. Good luck to everyone.
Hey gang,
Having a very strange issue. I was running 4.4.3 roms based on the stock rom for several months and then finally decided to try out some of the 5.0+ roms. I flashed the newest firmware (from 2/15) and was able to flash the roms without a problem, but then when I got in my car, the phone connected to my head unit via bluetooth, but it won't play sounds from music/YouTube. I looked under settings for bluetooth and it shows my device connected and paired but below the device is the message "(No Media)". When I click the gear for more settings it shows the Media box as checked. On my head unit, it also has the music symbol grayed out, as if to say it also knows that media is not working via bluetooth. All of the phone functions work fine through bluetooth as usual.
Thinking it might be the rom, I flashed back to the 4.4.3 rom I was using, but still get the same error. I have since:
Flashed a stock rom
Reflashed the 4.4.3 firmware
RUU'ed back to 4.4.3 stock
And I am still having the same error. At this point, I think I might have permanently messed up the bluetooth on my phone. There are very few settings in my head unit pertaining to bluetooth so I can't really troubleshoot that side. My friend was able to connect his phone to my car and play music via bluetooth so I think the problem is with my phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
