[Q] overcome bluetooth problem - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
I flashed to overcome 4.0.0 few days ago I set everything up but I noticed a strange bug with Bluetooth.
This is what happens. On the first search of devices I saw my headsets and pc. I paired headset and one pc. Now after some time I wanted to pair another headset and when I entered BT setting I could not see no devices. Not even the ones I have paired before. search, turning of and on, nothing helped. I could see only unpaired devices. Only thing that did help is if I click on that unpaired device than all others showed up. just now I lost connection to my BT headset. Went to setting and I could not find my BT, and I had no other unpaired devices to click on. Luckily turning headset of and back on reconnected it. But this is a huge problem. I can't enter settings for my bt device since I can't see it in the list.
since I do not have 10 posts I can't post to the tread about overcome. Hope to gather few posts here so I can write there.
Thank you all for help in advanced.

Bluetooth Headset Audio

Hello all
I recently put 4.2.11.1 on my G1. Now when I pair my headset with the phone. The audio is still transfered though my phone. Is this a known issue? is there a fix?
Tech Specs
Handset: G1 w/Cyanogen 4.2.11.1
Headset: Samsung WEP470
The headset worked fine with stock 1.6
The headset appears to pair fine, even verified the bluetooth 'button' is selected while in a call. Still audio goes through the handset and not the headset.
This really is my only issue I love cyanogen so far and hope that the Nexus One is cracked fairly soon after release.
I have the exact same issue with a parrot ck2100-bluetooth hansfree, also running latest cyanogen
I've had this issue and other Bluetooth audio problems under the last several CM releases (See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=819). When audio fails to go through the headset as you describe, turning the headset off and then on again often fixes it. If that doesn't help, then turning the headset off, toggling Bluetooth off and then on, and then turning on the headset usually works.
hrmm, hope this can get fixed I may have to abandon Cyanogen. I have to field call via bluetooth when I work from home.
usually this happens once a week for my bluetooth if i keep toggling BT on and off several times (usually do it if i forget my BT headset). easy fix. not a serious problem with me.
like the person above said: just turn toggle BT off then on, it should connect fine. if not, what i do is go through the settings and unpair them and pair, it should connect to the phone's audio. rinse and repeat.
not a serious bug that should keep anyone away from a certain rom... especially Cyans
Yall in the wrong forum ppl
If its an issue concerning Cy's rom go in his thread n follow the link to submite the issue.
If u trying to solve the problem go in Q&A and ask there or CY's thread.
This has nothing to do with development.
moved to Q&A
I am also having this issue.
I am having a parot c3100 and it pairs fine. But the sound is send to my phone instead of over my car audio system.
I tried bluetooth+headphone fix, but that doesn't help either.
It looks like every cyanogen (based) rom does have this issue ....
Does anybody have other ideas to get it fixed ?

i have the same problem as some other people do as well. There's no actual fix, afaik, although the gingerbread roms seemed to have fixed it for me.
You can ask in the appropriate Q&A for your ROM.

in his defense - although I could be wrong, I found that it has nothing to do with one particular rom. I had this problem on stock eclair and many of the custom froyo roms. Once I ran GB, the bluetooth was more reliable.
I'm having the same issue with stock 2.2.
I found a quicker method to fix it.
I downloaded a Bluetooth widget that toggles Bluetooth on and off - this seems to reconnect with my Jeep after the toggle:
com.curvefish.widgets.bluetoothonoff
I'm sure there are a ton of widgets out there; but, you may want to give that a try!
Thanks,
Shawn
I also ran into this as after chatting with Samsung support it turns out that the Galaxy line is set to never auto connect to any bt device even if the connection was already there.
I had trouble with disconnections from my car deck (jvc kw-xr810) when it was trying to share contacts. Once I set the phone to deny contact sharing and set up a separate phone book in the deck, it connects perfectly and never drops.
It's not a perfect solution if you want your whole address book access accessible from the car however.

I use tasker for this. I have a task setup that as soon as I turn my car off and BT disconnects, toggle BT off and back on. I noticed that as long as BT is toggled off and back on, it will connect and hold it the next time I use it.
although, I have since turned that task off because GB roms seemed to have fixed the BT issues with my car. I rarely have this problem since switching to gingerbread.
Captivate stock 2.2 intermittent bluetooth problems
I have a stock Captivate with 2.2 android and I'm using a Motorola S10-HD headset to listen to music while I'm at work.
The bluetooth will randomly disconnect causing the music to pause. Sometimes it will reconnect on it's own several seconds later and I am able to continue listening by clicking the play button on the headset. If it doesn't reconnect on it's own then I have to turn off bluetooth on the phone and turn it back on. This will cause it to reconnect but the problem may occur again.
I have switched to listening to music on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and haven't had any problems so it must be the phone.
Is there anything that will correct the problem?
Is this a defect with my phone or just a design problem with all Captivate phones?

[Q] Bluetooth Connection Issues with Jaybird JF4?

Afternoon all.
Having an issue with the Bluetooth on my HTC...
I’ve just purchased a set of Jaybird Freedom JF4 wireless earbuds for the gym. They initially paired ok with the phone and worked for as long as I need them. However, when I turned them off and back on they didnt automatically pair as they should. Even when I go into the settings and try and manually connect it says they are unavailable... The only way I can connect to them again is to un-pair them and re-pair from scratch... which it totally useless!
I’ve tried them on an iPhone and iPad and they work as expected. When I turn them back on the iPhone connects to them automatically. This rules out an issue with the earbuds.
Checked HTC and I have the latest software. Also checked with the manufacturer and they haven’t a clue.
I'm stuck... does anybody have any ideas?
The earbuds are A2DP and AVRCP compatible. Also says works with Bluetooth 2.1 and above.
In terms of the handset. Its totally untouched in terms of ROMs etc... I am on Android version 4.1.2 and Software Version 1.29.161.11
Stumped - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

[Q] Issues with Moto X and two Bluetooth devices

I searched this forum and didn’t see any posts related to this issue directly, please direct me to any existing threads if I may have missed them. Sorry for the length of post, but I wanted to be as detailed as possible to fully explain the issue.
I am having some issues with the Bluetooth connections that I use in my car. I had this setup working previously on my Droid Razr Maxx with no issues, and was really hoping it would carry over to my Moto X.
I use Tasker in my car and have several profiles setup based on my Bluetooth connection state. When I enter my car, I connect to my General Motors Bluetooth for hands free calling. This connection works without issue. I also have a small USB powered Bluetooth audio receiver that converts the Bluetooth stream to a 3.5mm cable and goes into the radio deck for audio. It was a pretty cheap dongle that I got on eBay. It doesn’t have a brand name on it, but it comes up in my phone as “dmzmusic”. I’ve never had any major issues with it before, other than on occasion it fails to turn on when the car starts, but shutting the car off and turning it back on again works fine.
Last week I had my phone in a basically stock 4.4 state. Not rooted, nothing changed, etc. When I would get in the car, General Motors Bluetooth connected just fine. I did not happen to take any phone calls last week, so I’m not sure about how well that was working. I’ll get to this in a minute. My other connection for dmzmusic seemed to connect and then very quickly disconnect. This was evidenced by my Tasker profile launching Pandora, which it is supposed to do when it connects to dmzmusic. However, Pandora immediately exited again, and when I went to the Bluetooth settings, only General Motors was connected. If I tapped on dmzmusic in the list of paired devices, it connected and worked fine.
Over the weekend I rooted my Moto X with SlapMyMoto, which was quite a long process, but in the end, I was rooted and all was well. This morning, I got in my car and re-paired both devices mentioned above. When the Tasker profile fired for dmzmusic, I watched it launch Pandora, and then close it within a few seconds (there is an exit task to kill Pandora). It did this cycle three times, and then apparently stopped trying. As with before, I tapped on the connection and it worked fine. It launched Pandora, music played my whole way to work, and Pandora was killed when I arrived at work.
Now, back to the General Motors issue. Today when I was driving to work in the lovely Minnesota weather, my boss called to see where I was. My music paused, but my radio deck did not show an incoming call on the screen. I pressed the hands-free answer button, but it didn’t work. I picked up the phone and swiped right to answer, but it didn’t come through on Bluetooth. So I started talking on the handset, and after about 30 seconds, it connected to the radio and hands-free worked. When I was done with the call Pandora and music resumed, as it should.
So my question is, has anyone else had any issues with hands free Bluetooth, and/or any issues when using a hands-free device AND a media only device? In the Bluetooth settings, my General Motors connection only has the option for phone. The dmzmusic device has phone and media, but I have unchecked phone so it’s set to media only, if that makes any difference.
I know it’s a somewhat unique situation, but it’s really annoying that it doesn’t work. Tonight I am going to test having a few seconds delay on the Pandora task to see if that helps the repeat cycle that it did this morning.
Thanks!

Yup... My Dev GSM Moto X on 4.2.2 connected just fine to my Mazda for both Phone and A2DP everytime I entered or exited the car. With 4.4, I'd have to manually go into Bluetooth and have the phone connect to the car. Very annoying... Haven't had that happen since ICS days.. Might have to downgrade to 4.2.2 again just to make this go away.
Bluetooth working fine on 4.4 with my Hyundai Elantra. Phone and A2DP. Maybe try repairing?

Thanks. I wasn't able to test it on 4.2.2 (it took right away OTA out of the box) with my Moto X, but it was working fine on my Droid Razr Maxx on 4.1.2 Jelly Bean before I got the Moto X.
I will have to try and see how it works with just the A2DP device without the handsfree. I rarely ever talk on the phone, and with the Touchless Controls I could call people and just pick up the phone. Or turn the phone portion back on for the A2DP device so the sound would come through my speakers but I'd still have to use the mic on my phone...
Still annoying. Thanks again for the reply.

Both pair automatically together when you enter the car?
I can get them to coexist, but I have to manually add the A2DP device. The car radio (General Motors) connects fine, but the A2DP cycles and then gives up, it seems.
I will try pairing them in a different order, and temporarily disabling or adding a wait clause to my Tasker profile to see if it works without that.
Thanks,
I have a Dension BT gateway for my car that provides BT audio and hands free. My phone connects automatically as long is bluetooth is turned on. I also connect to a BT OBD2 adapter sometimes, and I tried it today, and I kept playing Pandora via BT and also connected to the OBD2 adapter and had data going from both of them.

Yeah, but they aren't a separate connection I don't think. Pretty sure the one connection handles both.
Seems to be an issue with the A2DP device specifically. I unpaired my car and the dmzmusic device and repaired them both, same result. I added just the dmzmusic, and got the same thing.
I changed my Tasker profile to just flash a toast message to show it connecting and disconnecting instead of firing Pandora to see if that mattered and it didn't. I did not try disabling the Tasker actions entirely to see if that worked.
I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones at home that I may try as well to see if it will connect to those. They fire the same task as the dmzmusic does to launch Pandora when they connect, and kill it when they disconnect.
Hoping this gets fixed, because it's VERY annoying.
Is it possible to submit this to Google/Moto as a bug if it is a larger problem with all A2DP devices?
But it's not a problem with all A2DP devices. Works fine with both my 2013 Hyundai Elantra and my Jaybird Freedom buds.

Thanks. I will try it with the Philips bluetooth headphones as well. The device in my car is pretty cheap. I don't know what version of Bluetooth it has, but it was only about $5. Anyone know of a similar device that can receive a Bluetooth audio signal and convert it to 3.5mm, and is powered by USB?

Well I sort of solved this. There's an app in the Play Store called Bluetooth Auto Connect. This can connect to bluetooth devices with a set of conditions and states, and works as a plug-in to Tasker. I told it to connect to dmzmusic upon connection to any other bluetooth device (in this case, my General Motors hands free). Worked perfectly. Thought you'd like to try it out for your dual device setup.
However, I also have a new issue. It seems the reason my phone call wasn't on bluetooth at first was due to some sort of connection issue with the General Motors unit. While driving home tonight, every few minutes my car radio said Connected. And every time I turned the car screen on to thumb up a song on Pandora, it flashed Connected to a trusted device. Which implied to me that it was disconnecting periodically. No idea why it would do this. Didn't see any setting for it in bluetooth, and battery saver isn't on.
Anyone seen something like this? Will try tomorrow without the trusted device settings to see if that matters....
I noticed a similar auto-connect issue with mine, when I was attempting to troubleshoot the stuttering A2DP issues I'm having. If I have the HFP and A2DP profiles both enabled, they both connect right up when the ignition is on. If I have the HFP profile disabled, and only A2DP enabled, it doesn't connect right away and I usually have to manually force it. Very strange. This whole BT situation on this phone has been a pretty big disappointment for me, since I had everything working great with my GNex (running 4.3) and now it's like I've lost the heart of my car audio system.
I bought the Kinovo BT dongle for my wife for Christmas, so it will be interesting to see how that works with her Moto X. I'm pretty excited about trying out the AptX encoding for lossless audio, but I doubt she will even notice the difference.
Just to give you an update.. I downgraded to 4.2.2 and it connects to my Mazda automatically just fine.. Upgraded to 4.4 and the problem returns.. No apps.. Stock + root. Keep in mind that the problem lies only with the auto connect aspect of it.. Streaming/calls work fine but only after manually connecting.

Did you look at the auto connect app? It worked fine for me. My Bluetooth stopped working for a day or two because I froze a process without realizing what it was so BT wouldn't turn on at all. I think I have to remove and repair both of my devices to get the same setup I had on my Razr Maxx on 4.1.2,
The connecting/disconnection and/or 1-2 minute lag from my General Motors hands-free connection was annoying too. Have to see if that persists. I tried making the A2DP device the trusted one to see if that changes anything.
Really hoping this is something that Moto can/does fix, especially through a Play Store push like they've done with Active Display and the camera app.
not that this is much help for the OP, but my subaru auto connects voice (calls) automagically each time. it also auto-pairs/connects with my TuneLink audio (BT receiver for audio output over headphone/FM).
in the bluetooth settings, the settings button next to your device brings up the paired bt device profile. check to see if all of your devices are registered correctly. for example, my subaru says, "phone audio" and my tunelink says, "media audio".
to help complicate/annoy/support above, i also have a soundbar and BT house phone (cordless). both devices behave the same way my car/tunelink do.

Thanks. I do have the boxes ticked in the device settings for which stream to use. The General Motors connection only has Phone Audio (and it's checked) and the dmzmusic A2DP device lists Phone Audio and Media Audio, only Media is checked.
Did you have these devices setup on 4.2.2 before taking the upgrade to 4.3? Did you wipe in the process? Wondering if that's why @totempole had the issue if he is rooted, he probably wiped the device in the process SBFing back to 4.2.2. If you aren't rooted and didn't wipe between 4.2.2 and 4.4, that could explain why it works OK for you and not us..

Must be something with setting it up AFTER taking the update to 4.4 Kit Kat. Wonder if @totempole tried setting thiers up after going back to 4.2 and before taking the upgrade for the root process with SlapMyMoto?

could be completely device specific too. if your vehicle is BT v2.x or whatever. my tunelink specifically has problems with data/audio stream with the X that my X doesn't have problems with on other devices. could be software/hardware incompatibility issues.
FWIW, my vtech BT phone @ home would NEVER pair with other devices. i would always have to manually pair.
I just emailed Moto about this, because I'm having bugs too. I think that you're on to something, 640k. My Pioneer headunit (FH-P800BT) has BT 2.0, and while HSP connects fine, A2DP only works on the first pair, and after disconnecting once and reconnecting, it won't ever connect A2DP. I have to completely unpair the phone and re-pair it to get both A2DP and HSP working. My phone also gets stuck on "Connecting..." under BT whenever it's having issues connecting with A2DP. Here's the email I sent off to Moto"
I've noticed an issue with my new Moto X that I never had with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The phone itself performs way better than my older phone, but I've had a specific bluetooth problem. I have a Pioneer headunit that supports A2DP as well as HSP (music playback and headset functionality) and with my Galaxy Nexus, it worked great, I paired my phone up with the headunit, and both A2DP and HSP would pair at the same time, and work perfectly. With my Moto X, when I first pair the phone to the headunit, it pairs both profiles, but after I've disconnected (turned car off or turned bluetooth off) and come back, it only pairs HSP, and when I try to pair A2DP, my phone gets stuck on "Connecting..." under bluetooth to the headunit, and never will connect to A2DP unless I unpair and re-pair the entire phone. I've tried resetting my headunit and phone and still the same problem exists. Looks like other people are having issues with bluetooth too, as per this article on a popular Android forum > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2562186 < I'd like you all to check this out. Seems it's just on 4.4, and wasn't present on 4.2.2 (I never checked myself on 4.2.2, as I immediately upgraded to 4.4 when I got my phone. This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, but more of a software problem. Please check into this, and don't just read this and act like it's only a problem a handful of people are having. I'd like to have this fixed, and while it's not a deal-breaker for me to use the phone, it does make me a bit frustrated. Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth Connected (no media)

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
