Back in the previous version of android, I could send all my contacts over to my car stereo system via bluetooth, sending some sort of single file or something. That option seems to have disappeared in ICS. Is there some way to send them all at once? I'm at a loss other than downgrading and then sending them and upgrading back to ICS.

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.
Anyone else experience bluetooth connectivity issues on the new 4.2.2 firmware?
My car and BT headphones now take a lot longer to connect and disconnect to the phone compared to previous firmware.
In fact, the first time (after the update) i needed to manually connect to each deivce, almost like I had to remind the phone it was paired with them.
In comparison, my Nexus devices connect almost immediately on 4.2.2
Can anyone who is on 4.2.2 help test this?
Help confirm whether it is just me experiencing this or not. Thanks.
I have the same problem with my Mercedes BT System.
I connect my phone and lost my connection in 3-4min. After 10sec its connected again.
So my temporary work around was this:
1) Disconnect the Phone with my car
2) Clear Connetcion
3) Start new search and conntect the phone to BT
4) Didn´t allow the Mercedes BT to use my sms, contacts and so on.
With this it´s working if the BT System didn´t check my sms and contacts. But erverytime when I switch of the connection or car, I have to disallowed the BT System to check sms and contacts --- so this is only temporare and I hope for a better solution!
(Sry for my writen english - its bad )
My Bluetooth devices connected very quickly.
And no problems with sms and contact request?
Do you made a fullwipe?
My BMW simply won't pair with my XZ since updating to 4.2.2 - was working fine before on 4.1.2, but when I try to pair now, they recognise eachother, and I enter a code on the car to be verified on the phone, but after I enter the code on the phone, it all just freezes. The car sits there saying "Pairing...", but the phone thinks it's all been successful.
I have a bose audio system in my car, my XPERIA Z running PAC Rom - will pair, no audio or phone book exchange, My Dads Xperia z Works fine with stock rom. there is some issue I think with 4.2.2 maybe? I tried the Audio v19 and bluwtooth fix. NO LUCK!
Yes.. Having the same problem as well with Volvo's sensus multimedia system. It used to work fine.. Now it takes multiple tries to get it to connect since 4.2.2
I have the same problem.
I am having the same problem with the sbh25.
When i turn on the headphones my phone registers the pairing but no sound will be on. I have to manually turn the phone to speaker output then back to headphones for the music to stream through the bluetooth headset. This works first time 9/10 times. The other time i have to repeat the output step a couple of times for the music to be heard.
I had a couple of issues too with the latest 4.2.2. on my Kenwood system in the car.
This is terrible, clearly Sony did not thoroughly test the BT stack in this latest firmware.
I can honestly say, BT was pretty much working perfectly on 4.1.2 firmware. I may have to consider downgrading.
Thanks for everyones confirmation.
Just wondering whether there is any fix for the bluetooth issue on 4.3 roms. I can connect my phone to car without any issues, but cant syn contacts or answer/reject calls via steering wheel. If not, is it possible perhaps to copy bluetooth related files over from 4.2?

Quite the same problem here. I can pair the XZ with my Car's device (ego flash), but I can't synch the phonebook.
I already deleted the Bluetooth setting on both devices, nothing helps
if somebody has a solution??

sorry for my bad english...
I'm having exactly the same problems.
And it seems as if every android update on my xperia z fixes some bluetooth bugs and brings up some new ones. After each update, my phone behaves differently in my car.
I had the exact same issue, (to give a little more detail) it causes you to either drop wifi connection when on bluetooth or vice versa and i had just bought a sony smart watch that ran off of bluetooth.I never found a fix from sony. What i did do to fix it was flash myself the latest eXistenZ rom, it worked perfectly and both my smartwatch and wifi could work at the same time
Same song different dance
My issues with 4.3 update are related to the poor performance of the bluetooth driver on audio connect.
I have downgraded to 4.2 because i use bluetooth headphones and i have 2 bluetooth speakers, that with the 4.3 are almost useless because:
Low volume output over bluetooth, quality of the audio is a bit down, and most important for a heavy sleeper, the bluetooth speakers are working only with music/video soundtracks, they are not ringing anymore on phone calls, alarms, notifications.
Please, anyone, put the 4.2 bluetooth driver somewhere, flashable or i dont know, i tried everything, but i guess the best option is to install the 4.2 bluetooth driver on 4.3. Is it possible?
Now I found an workaround for me. I deleted all the photos inside the contacts ( about 8 or 9 contacts of 331 had a photo inside). Phone-Book sync and sending contacts separately is working now. Not perfect, but OK for the moment.
Could this be a problem with Android 4.3 ? I never had that before with my Defy, Razr i, Wiko Darkmoon or Alcatel OT6040D.

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.
headset sending invalid plugin in/out signals on 4.4.4 & 5.0.2 & 5.1.1 but when i go back to 4.3 it works fine
can anyone tell me how to fix this problem without using "Sound About" application
