Hi Guys, Newbie here in need of some help.
I have searched high and low for an answer to this and whilst people have had similar issues, none quite the same and as such I have not been able to fix it yet.
Basically I have a Galaxy S which I bought about 6 months ago. It is running Android 2.2 Froyo 'Firmware version' 2.2.1. (let me know if you need any more info on build etc).
The problem is that I bought a Belkin Bluetooth Music Reciever so I could play music remotely from my phone to my stereo.
I made sure I carefully read the reviews and some bloke called Dan who is a regular reviewer had tested it with the Samsung Galaxy S so I thought I was all set.
I can send you the links to see the item and the review if you like.
However when I followed the Belkin's instructions the phone was supposed to ask me to enter 0000 to complete the pairing. The phone seemed to pair automatically, without asking for a code. So I assumed everything was fine. but then the music came out the phones loud speaker rather than the stereo.
I have also noticed that whilst the phone pairs with the BT reciever, it doesn't seem to connect.
I have successfully used the Belkin with my wife's 18 month old Sony Ericsson C905 and an HTC Desire so I know the Belkin works. I just reckon there is a glitch which is stopping me pair with it properly.
The remedies I have tried:
1) Unparing and Re-Pairing Bluetooth
2) Rebooting Phone, Rebooting Belkin
3) Going into Bluetooth Options and selecting Play Audio via Bluetooth. (When I also press the 'Connect Now' tick box, it tries and fails although it does still think it is paired.
4) I also double checked to see if there was a firmware update for the phone via Kies and there was so I installed that and it still won't work.
5) Samsung Support have simply said -"It must be a compatibility issue and we can't help you." - if that was so, how come someone else used a Galaxy S when reviewing it!?
This is driving me insane! Can anyone help me with this? Any help appreciated.
It's probably not much help, but as a datum I'm using some sennhieser PX 360 A2DP bluetooth headphones with my i9000 and they're fine. I didn't have to enter a pairing code as 0000 is the default for accessories these days and it's automatic

Thanks HarpingOn,
So the plot thickens then...
Can anyone help?
I had a problem recently where I thought my Galaxy S had stopped pairing properly with my Motorola T505 - the music playing bit worked fine, but the phone connection, voice dialling etc just wouldn't work at all.
Turned out I'd left the bluetooth on on my work phone (old Nokia) and that was connecting preferentially as that was the last thing connected. Once I turned that off it all worked again. Don't suppose there's anything like that happening?

Thanks Barkotron, its a good thought but I don't think there is anything that would cause it. The nearest other bluetooth device which is switch on is the B/T keyboard for my iMac which is upstairs at the other end of the house.
Stumped!
Bump...any ideas?
Same problem here with a BeeWi BBR100-A1.
Device works fine with a iPhone 3GS but not with my i9000. Don´t know why and where to search. Installing now the Android SDK and hopefully there is a errorlog.
I have the same problems that you describe, pairing starts - the BBR100 restarts and it looks like the pairing fails. Galaxy S i9000 displays that it is connected to the bluetooth receiver...
That sucks!
Belkin was my backup, but now end of all hope.
Looks like it´s a problem with the BT-Stack, with my Senheiser MM100 it works just like a charm!
Any news or tips with another receiver?
I tried with a Creative bluetooth speaker in a shop today. No pairing code required.
One thing I did notice though, I had to pair the Galaxy with the Creative speaker, then go back into the bluetooth devices list and select the speaker to connect it. The audio then switched from the built in speaker to the bluetooth device.
I have to do this with my headphones too. The devices automatically pair when the headphones are powered on but the headphones don't produce sound until I also go to the bluetooth list and connect them.
Hope it helps.

All I tried ends up with more questionmarks then before.

Trying a hcitool dev and get "Devices: "
Looks and sounds like that samsung modified the bluez

A2DP problem with JS5?
Until recently i was using a2dp to connect my sgs to my handsfree car kit and listen to music: it worked perfectly and the sound was great. Then i upgraded from JPF to JS5 (stock rom from samfirmware), and now music is always jumping forward. Normal connection for answering calls works perfectly...
sounds like another problem...because pairing works for you...right?
but anyway, there must be a way to change the bluetooth-stack like the windows way...
I have this problem too, pairing works but no sound via bluetooth. I am on JS3.
Edit: IT IS WORKING!
Unpaired and paired again. Works like a charm.

Slightly tangentially, do we know if the Galaxy S is supporting the Apt-X A2DP codec? The galaxy sounds better than my iPod touch using Apt-X headphones, but it could be something else making the difference

Mhm, hopefully I can do some more search this weekend.
Searching around the i-net brings some threads with the blueZ (bluetooth-stack) from canonical. Some people say that Samsung has modified the stack. Hopefully cyanogenmod brings a solution, afair. they use another stack then the stock rom.
@HarpingOn:
My old iPhone 3G and a iPhone 3GS works with the BeeWi BBR100 perfectly, but the new SGS not....???....so your suggestion with apt-x could be a idea, but why the hell SGS pairs and plays music over my Senheiser MM100?
More questions then ever, but I don´t have a clue what could it be. Thats the damn old problem with IT. If you don´t know where exactly the problem is you can´t fix it.
Today I unpaired the phone, reseted the car kit, paired again, and it's working ok. Sound is not as good as before, but may be it's just some equalizer setting. If this procedure doesn't work for you, try a phone factory reset.
I can confirm that everything is working ok. Unpair and reset did the trick for me.
Don´t work here... same as before.
Pairing seems to work, but finally you notice that it wan´t pair correct.
Bump
I have the same problem with the Belkin Music Player - has anybody found a solution ?
I have send my problem to BeeWi with complete error log and all other things that I have found.
Their reply:
Dear sir,
We have tested BBR100 on galaxy S and it works perfectly.
Easy pairing without entering 0000 code. After pairing you need of course to ask for connection because Android phones don't connect automatically.
Best Regards,
BeeWi
-> I´ve got a solution, send BBR100 back to sender and buy a cable. Works now for me!
I also have had the problem to connect the Belkin BT media streamer but just got it to work!
My solution
1. Pair ( When I do this at first I get the same problem as many others, the SGS pairs but does'nt connect).
2. Unpair the devices
3. Pair again - now it also will connect.
4. The music plays trough my bluetooth to my stereo.
The only problem for me now is that the sound really SUCKS. No bass what so ever etc. Any1 knows how this could be fixed?

This is my first, and only a minor, contribution to the forum; I've been a feeder up till now.
I bought a cheap bluetooth headset for my HD2 for use with my motorcycle satnav and also my HD2 - not that I want to take calls whilst I'm riding, but playing music would be a possibility. It was similar to this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bluetooth-V2-...e_Phones_Bluetooth_Acc_ET?hash=item3efab16de4
I paired it with my satnav and could hear voice commands and music as expected. I then paired it with my HD2 and could only get calls, no music playing!!!
I tried looking for settings on the HD2 but nothing made any difference so I decided to look in the registry. After a while exploring I eventually found:
HKLM/software/widcomm/BTconfig/devices/
There were three devices paired (HD2, satnav and my car) so next I had to work out which one. I found that if you look at the nickname for each one, it's decoded into english by the Reg Editor (I use CERegistryEditor). Using trial and error I found that changing the setting "Hideconnections" from "0" to "1" did the trick. I can now hear music through the headset!!!
Well chuffed with myself!!!
PS Perform a soft reset after changing it to lock it in otherwise it resets to "0" after a disconnect.
OOPS! because I was looking for Bluetooth stuff I posted this in the wrong area, sorry!!! Maybe a moderator can correct please?
How bizarre it works by default for me......well done on the find though
Thanks...
It doesnt work for me, im using samsung mono bluetooth. I've tried many methods like btaudio bttoggle.... any help, thanks
All I can suggest is that - like I did - compare settings with something that does work. Maybe because you have a mono headset (mine is stereo) it's not capable of receiving music?
Hi
I could play music and receive system sound in my Jabra mono bluetooth earpiece if, in HD2, I go bluetooth->advance->Audio and check "play system sounds on remote hands-free device". However, after a phone call, the music and sound will be routed back to the phone speaker, though the earpiece is still connected (you can still make/receive phone calls through the earpiece).
The music and sound can only be routed to the earpiece again after a soft reset.
The other observation is that, if there is pause in between music or sound for a period of about 12 to 15 seconds, the HD2 will "suspend" the bluetooth transmission (beep in the earpiece) and resuming the music will cause the bluetooth transmission to be re-established (beep sound in earpiece). This is causing skipping of the first 1 to 2 second of the music / sound.
Have installed BTaudio V1.0. It is working on my HD2 and will keep the transmission constant and no skipping problem.
However, also needing soft reset after phone call.
Does any one has similar experience ? Is this earpiece/ head set related of is this HD2 related issue ?
No one has simialr experience ? Is there a thread on bluetooth related registry tweaks, I have been searching for it but don't seems to be able to find one. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't have that reg key at all! I have a dutch hd2 running stock 1.66. When I try to connect to a parrot party bluetooth stereo box this (most of the time) doesn't work. Once or twice I established a working connection but after trying multiple times with no luck I decided to find a fix for my problem. Now I try to edit my reg with this and it's not there!?
i paired the hd2 with the car kit parrot ck3100... leaving apart that it doesn't connect always... although i have checked in settings to play all phone sounds through BT it doesn't...
i think it's a BT problem of the hd2, or maybe all WM phones... 'cause ițve had issues like this before...
P.S. once it played the music thorugh the car kit... just like this...
I picked up my new car yesterday (Seat Ibiza) only to find that my N1 will not pair with the installed bluetooth handsfree system. I can find the kit when searching for bluetooth devices (picks up as Seat_BT with a headphones symbol alongside) however selecting the 'pair & connect' option results in a messagebox stating "There was a problem pairing with Seat_BT" - no PIN code is requested.
I've tested the car with other devices (laptop, other phone) and the pairing is successful.
I've checked the compatibility listing with Seat and they list (from Dec 2009) the Hero and Magic as compatible (as at Android v1.5). I've also seen posts in Seat forums indicating that the HTC Desire pairs successfully with the Ibiza handsfree option.
My N1 is stock, unbranded running 2.2.1.
Can anyone here give me some insight into the differences in the bluetooth stacks / known issues with N1 bluetooth that may help me resolve this?
Is there a way of logging bluetooth pairing requests that will help me find the root cause of this issue?
TIA

I've resolved my own problem, so here's the approach for anyone else..
To pair the Seat kit with a Nexus One you need to do the following:
1. Find an app on the Android Market called "Bluetooth File Transfer" by Medieval Software
2. Install
3. Using the app (on the 'Remote Devices tab) initiate the pairing with the car
4. You will get the PIN prompt - enter the 1234 PIN
5. Once paired the app will begin transfering something (I think it's call history but not sure).
It will then report an error - don't worry about that.
6. Shutdown the app and uninstall it (it is no longer required).
7. Reboot the N1 (to clear out any remaining dregs of the app).
8. Phone should then connect and disconnect using the standard bluetooth functionality.
Not sure why this works, perhaps the app extends the default bluetooth stack, resolving the issue that prevents the prompt for the pair passkey.
I've not fully checked the level of functionality available, but I can definitely initiate a call to the last dialled number and answer incoming calls.
Here is what I see:
1. 1st time pairing - Both phone and media audio work fine.
2. Next time whenever I would get in the car: Nothing connects automatically. I try to connect manually from the phone, and it takes a while, and media audio connects. Phone audio fails.
3. Now if I go to advanced options and uncheck and re-check phone audio, it seems to connect most of the time.
4. If I unpair and delete the phone from the car's memory, and do it all over, it works for the first time, same as above.
Phone is running stock HTC stuff, no root etc.
Car is Subaru Impreza 2011.
My HTC Aria used to connect both phone and media automatically each time flawlessly. (Running CM6 and 7, <never got a chance to try with stock )
Any pointers would be great!
Thanks
Might be a car problem. My last 2010 VW GTI had a finicky bluetooth. You could stream audio and take calls, but if you walk out of range of the BT while the car is on and walk back in range it won't connect until I reset the head unit. However in my 2011 BMW, I can walk out of range and it instantly connects to my phone when I'm back in range. Connects every time without a flaw (even though I did have some occasionally difficulty with my iphone and bluetooth in the BMW)
I have exactly the same problem as described by the op. Not sure what to do but I don't talk much on the phone so it's not that big of a problem for me. If it was the other way around it would be much bigger problem. Anyone has suggestions? I woud like to make it work as it should.

For you also, does nothing connect by itself? I'd be somewhat happy if atleast media connected automatically
Once we have a good permanent root solution I'll play with tasker to see if I can create a workaround...but this sucks!

I have a Rogers Raider and it works really well with my Kia Sorento. I think it is the vehicle or both. Both meaning compatibility issue. I had a Samsung Vibrant (i-9000) and it worked but sometimes it doesn't connect and always seems to upload my address book which takes a long time. With this Raider, it works like a charm. The Raider works before and after root.
Did you check your vehicle Bluetooth vehicle compatibility chart? They might have one.

I have a 2010 Hyundai Sante Fe (similar to the Sorento). After initially pairing my Vivid to the car's bluetooth, the two have always connected, reagrdless of whether I turn on BT before or after I get in the car. I also had no problem with the old HTC HD2 (WM6x) and the Santa Fe's bluetooth.
Have you tried un-pairing the phone and car and re-pairing?
Everything works fine with mine too. I have a Toyota with BlueLogic. I used to have this problem with my old device, Motorola Atrix, didn't connect most of the times. I checked many forums and I found out it is a Gingerbread problem, with Froyo everything worked flawlessly.

It pairs and connects just fine the first time but I have to erase the Bluetooth memory on my phone and my stereo and re pair everytime I get in my car. I used go have an iphone and it worked fine. I checked my phone with a Bluetooth headset and it acts just like its supposed to. Any suggestions?

My only hope is that the BT libs of CM9 will do some magic
What's CM9?
Mine seems to automatically connect just fine. However from time to time, very few times, the sound won't work right off the bat. If I press the volume rocket it will play a sound. Sometimes I have to press it twice then the sound will come through the speakers and music will play just fine. It's strange and quirky, but eh. Lol so if you're suck without sound, try to adjust your ringer volume to stimulate the sounds before repairing. See if that works.

I'm sure the following is a software issue but I don't know where to report this bug.
When I am listening to music or watching videos on my Note 4 through my Bluetooth stereo headset, I get pops and clicks noises every 2-3 secs and has been driving me up the wall. Talking with someone over the phone through Bluetooth yield no noises. Only way to fix this was to use a wired headphone/headset. My Note 4 is 910C with the latest firmware, not rooted nor modified in any way, everything is at stock.
After a lot of troubleshooting I finally figured it out that it wasn't my BT headset being faulty, nor my Note 4's BT, I will explain below.
I have my Note 4 paired with the following Bluetooth devices:
- LG HBS-900 Headset
- LG HBS-800 (Black) Headset
- LG HBS-800 (White) Headset
- LG HBS-700 Headset
- Sennheiser MM 550-X Headset
- Creative T6 Series II (Desktop PC Speakers that has Bluetooth)
- Samsung Gear Fit Watch
The issue is affecting the HBS-900 and both of the HBS-800. I have done the following which didn't fix the issue:
- Unpair then Re-pair
- Unpaired other headsets
- Restart Phone + Pulled Battery
- Went to "Application manager > Bluetooth" and cleared Cache and cleared Data
- Went to Recovery and cleared the cache
I was left with the last resort to re-flash the latest firmware. But I had a brainwave and decided to unpair the Samsung Gear Fit because out of all the paired devices, only the watch uses Bluetooth 4.0 while the headsets and speaker use Bluetooth 3.0.
Lo and behold, the popping and clicking noises disappeared completely right away. I paired all the other headsets to the phone, and audio was still clear. I replicated the issue again by pairing my Gear Fit back to the Note 4, and immediately the noises were back. And this issue occurs even without having the watch connected to the phone! So now I'm forced to pick either my headset or my watch....

Hi budy, have the same problems. But I think problem is between wifi and bluetooth. Whenever there is a information change via wifi to internet there is some strange noice or once in a while bluetooth is bracking up. There might be some frquency problems. So far no solution to these. Just reconnect.......
910f + gear live + connected audio to my home theater by BT , streaming all access music via WiFi = no problem .
Lollipop 5.01 Fixed It...... I think!

Not to do with WiFi in my case. I could have them switch on or off, connected or not connected, the noise will still be there.
But Good News! I saw the official Lollipop for N910C on the other thread, thought what the heck gonna flash it. So I flashed it via Odin but did not wipe my data, seems Bluetooth is behaving now. Maybe the previous mini updates did not do anything to the BT drivers and on Lollipop I saw the version and it's a newer version.
Didn't really want to do this at first cause it's only been released and bound to be buggy, but I did it!
I recently got a new Nexus 6 and I'm having bluetooth connection issues specifically in my car. Bluetooth will connect but when it connects it shows "Bluetooth connected (no media)". So I can make phone calls over bluetooth in my car but my phone won't play media (waze/gps, local music, streaming music, etc). I have no problems connecting via bluetooth to a portable bluetooth speaker at home. Previously I had a Nexus 5 that I had no problems connecting to my car's bluetooth and making phone calls or playing media.
I've searched forums/google and have disassociated the pairing multiple times, ensured that 'Media audio' is checked in the bluetooth paired device settings, deleted the bluetooth cache, rebooted and nothing seems to resolve the (no media) issue.
It's strange because everything was fine with my old Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 works fine with my separate portable bluetooth speaker but it won't play through my car's bluetooth. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Sorry I don't have an answer, but you're not alone. I have exactly the same issue. Normally seems to solve itself when I manually turn BT off, then back on. But I hate to do that because it disconnects by Moto 360 and screws up a lot of other Tasker profiles that trigger from connecting to my car audio sytem. Sometimes I have to completely reboot the phone to make it work. I've tried a lot of things, but no luck yet. Hope someone knows the answer!
I had this problem one time before. Try bluetooth autoconnect. A2DP seems to not be running on your phone.
I'm having the same issue - brand new and it doesn't want to work on either of my phones I'm questioning the Integrity of the cheap $20 Walmart bluetooth car head unit
Is there a resolution for this problem? I've got the same issue as the op going on...
it can only be one of 3 things;
-your rom
-your kernel
-your vehicles bluetooth version
you can change/fix the first 2 things, but the third one is an expensive fix..
I'm running stock on the Nexus 6. It's not even rooted. Searching on this problem, there are posts that go back a few years. I figure with so many people running into this problem, someone must be working on a solution. I guess it's easier to just plug in the auxiliary cable?
I have the same issue . connected but no media. It worked properly after I re-booted the phone. We shouldn't have to do that so this bug needs fixing.
I have this problem with my new pioneer mvh-36bt deck. Only when I'm on a custom ROM though. I'd goto more options check all the boxes. Then clear Bluetooth memory on deck then it works. When I'm on stock rooted image no problems.
I had a similar issue when I switched from. Nexus 6 to 6P. In my case it turned out to be that there can be only 2 portable Bluetooth players that can be connected to my car multimedia. Deleting one of the 2 portable players and re pair Bluetooth resolved my issue
My Nexus 6 is the only Bluetooth device synced in the my car. I've tried deleting and re-pairing, turning the phone off and back on, turning Bluetooth off and back on, and nothing seems to work. :/

I have the same problem. My N6 never had any BT issues until I bought my new car today and tried to pair. My friend's iPhone worked just fine, so I'm pretty sure it's something in N6 that's the problem. Call function works but no media. This is very frustrating...

Curious if you've selected gear icon, in BT screen by device name, after paired AND while connected to view / enable all relevant options?
Sometimes when I pair I must manually update the BT access, though rarely. I presume manufacturer pairing settings (external device, not N6) don't default to all available options. Can't hurt to make sure media etc. is enabled. Good luck.

Yea, they are all checked, but it doesn't make any differences. BT also keeps losing connection. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Oddly enough, when I connected my phone to BT speaker today, no media or phone cnxn. Took my own advice and checked the BT settings. All were checked.
Unchecked then rechecked phone and media. Slight delay after uncheck before system let me reselect. Voila! Phone and media cnxn restored. BT was connected whole time.

I recently got a new Nexus 6 and I'm having bluetooth connection issues specifically in my car. Bluetooth will connect but when it connects it shows "Bluetooth connected (no media)". So I can make phone calls over bluetooth in my car but my phone won't play media (waze/gps, local music, streaming music, etc). I have no problems connecting via bluetooth to a portable bluetooth speaker at home. Previously I had a Nexus 5 that I had no problems connecting to my car's bluetooth and making phone calls or playing media.
I've searched forums/google and have disassociated the pairing multiple times, ensured that 'Media audio' is checked in the bluetooth paired device settings, deleted the bluetooth cache, rebooted and nothing seems to resolve the (no media) issue.
It's strange because everything was fine with my old Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 works fine with my separate portable bluetooth speaker but it won't play through my car's bluetooth. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks!

Yes! My 1 week old Nexus 6P same issue. But all other bluetooth device pair xcellent, shows and plays media!
OK, I got mine to work on my 2011 Lexus by first pairing it as a phone then pairing it as a Bluetooth media player. Works great! Frustrating that I had to do it that way, but I'm happy I don't have to plug my N6 into the microphone jack anymore.
This thread might be dead but I found it when I searched for a solution and so will be others.
I got a Kenwood DDX5016BT in my car. When you connect a new device it will just work as a phone. To enable media you have to go settings and register it as a Bluetooth device. It right on top of the iPod settings. Hope this helps anyone or even me in a few months lol
