I use Plantronics Bluetooth ear piece, works great, also there is a free app that allows for ALL audio from the SGT to be forced out the BT.
agreed very much possible. BT headset im using is Hisense HB200S connected to 2 of my phones at the same time.
Not really what I was thinking of. I'm saying use the tablet as a bluetooth headset. So when i jump in the car phone calls are automatically routed from my phone into the tablet which is hooked up to the audio system of my car.
so it would essentially function as a really nice car stereo but have all the added functionality of a android tablet.
data through bluetooth would be super awesome, but this is kinda shooting for the stars.
Did you find any solution?
UP
I'd love to see this too. Basically have sms and calling features on my tab, going through my phone via bluetooth.
anybody found a solution?
i have a carpc an since androidX86 (4.0.3) is out it would be great to use this as bluetooth handsfree.
i agree

I 100% agree, I need this feature as well. We clearly are not the only ones. This essentially is centered around someone with development skills using the Bluetooth Headset Profile to have the tablet show up as bluetooth headset or handsfree to the phone.
With that it'd be great for it to pull contacts (if you dont sync contacts with google), receive texts, receive calls, dial, voice dial, etc. Out of all those, i really just want to be able to receive calls and have them routed to the tab. Everything else is a bonus.
Should we start a bounty?
Let's do..whatever, to make this happen! I would pay!
Pioneer navigation in my car can do it but I want to replace it with android. This is the only reason why I can't do it.
Closest thing i've been able to do for this is my phone is connected via bluetooth to my cars head unit. My tablet it mounted and connected to the head unit with 1/8" - 1/8" This way i can use my tablet for music and navigation and if i get a call my system will auto switch over for the call.

thanks for that info, but in my case I won't have a headunit to act as the "middleman". we really need the option of the tablet itself being able to exploit the Bluetooth handsfree profile

Tablet Talk 1.3.3.1 was released on 4/15 with a Call Sharing option over Bluetooth or Wifi. The feature is still in beta, but from my limited usage in the past 2 days, it seems like a viable solution to this problem. The app can be found in the market with a reasonable price tag of $2.99. For those of you looking for a carputer solution - you found it.
i actually use Tablet Talk and fully support that developer for his work, BUT the call answering feature requires either the phones speaker phone to be on or a bluetooth handsfree kit or bluetooth headset in order to work. It's not the same as the subject of this thread but it is the closest we have so far.
I've been in talks with him and he's still working on the BT stack in his spare time but makes no promises that it'll work or make it into his app.
Hi,
i 'm looking for the same possibilities, but from my iphone=>Tab=>Car-audio
TabletTalk doesn't work with iphone
What would be great is a full application on the Tab with Dialing, Contact List from the phone, the same as every caraudio BT sold nowadays...
I don't understand why it 's link to the Phone OS, because a Pioneer Car Audio BT doesn't care if it s a BB, Nokia, iphone, or an android phone : it's just A2DP/Handset server mode...
I succeeded in sharing my iphone music librairie and 3G to the tab, there 's only the phone part left :/
correction, i can't acces my iphone music lib from the tablett
i can only acces to a itune on a PC, but not directly to the iphone
I don't understand why there is no Car Audio App available, the developer would be rich !
Thank you guys, I've been looking for this for my – project for some time. Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

Same here i have been wanting to do this but with my cheap pos phone
Lg VX9200 has bluetooth and works fine with my headphones with music and calls
Android only sees it as a internet source i just want to use my tablet as a speaker phone with a big key pad
Or maybe even use google contacts and have it dial my phone

Bump to keep this thread going I'll be attempting something similar in the future
This would be amazing, but unfortunately the tablet talk app will not work because it requires your car audio to be wired through your phone which would defeat the purpose. I hope the tablet talk developers can figure something out!
I got my Nexus 7 last week and have not been able to put it down. Recently I got a bluetooth keyboard to go along with it and it brought some major bluetooth connectivity issues to my attention. Has anyone else had any issues with bluetooth accessories on the Nexus 7?
The problems I have been dealing with:
When connecting to a bluetooth device whatever screen I am on on my tablet refreshes (ie: home screen redrawn, chrome all tabs refresh)
Bluetooth connectivity drops momentarily (tethering or connected to bluetooth keyboard)
I'm trying to figure out if it's the unshielded speakers on my office desk or if it is an actual problem with the bluetooth module on my Nexus 7.
Quick update, I've been able to recreate the issue with the screen refreshing/redrawing when a paired device is connected and disconnected. It seems that anytime you connect or disconnect a bluetooth device it refreshes whatever screen you are on (if it's a browser window where you've filled in a bunch of text on a forum you will lose all of it because the browser tabs refresh as well).
While I have not tested this specific BT setup I can confirm that the BT performance on this device is horrible. Specifically with BT headsets when used with any VoIP app or even Google talk.
I hope it is just a software issue and will be fixed with an update.

Here's a quick video of what's going on with mine. I have another Nexus 7 arriving today so I can test to see if it's just an issue with the one I currently have.

I have been unable to play an .avi movie with a bluetooth headset, it freezes after a few seconds. It plays no problem without it. I have also had issues with the tablet becoming very slow when tethering to bluetooth, at least for number of seconds (> 30), presumably when it got internet and started syncing...but no slowdown on the wifi, so it wasn't the syncing with the issue, but the bluetooth part of the communication, I believe. Anyone else been able to play movies with a bluetooth headset or speakers?
I have had no trouble at all with Bluetooth. My Samsung Hs3000 works great with music,movies and any internet or sys sounds. It Also has a very good range of at least 75ft or more in the open and covers my downstairs when inside.
I have been able to pair 2 headsets. 1st had no function at all, ext. mic did not work and no sound- using groove ip or playing music. 2nd was a stereo bluetooth set with ext. mic. No transmission with groove ip. However, with this one I was able to listen to music.
Also paired with 2 phones. One with JB-( Gnex )and one (Note)with ICS. No data transmission to tablet with either one over bluetooth.
same issue - getting sound on voice
I've bluetooth paired with phone and media audio connected.
I get the sound but not mic.
This is with nexus 7 4.1.1 using novero rockaway headset...it works fine with the ipad.
any ideas? I'm stuck.
Hello Everyone I am here to find some answers (hopefully)...
So I got the HTC One Coming from the Iphone 5. I've had numerous Android devices before, and apple products. I just recently also purchased a subaru wrx, it has bluetooth radio. When I had my iphone 5, i synced perfectly with the radio, hands free worked Awesome. When i got into the car my spotify or pandora would immediately start playing..
Now i get my htc one, and i pair my phone with the car, but my hands free audio sounds terrible, i can barely understand what the other person is saying. On top of that i have to manually connect the phone to bluetooth everytime i turn on my car, its very annoying. I have tried many different roms, and kernels, and i even went back to stock but i can't seem what the problem is. I am about to change the radio in the car thinking its not very user friendly with android devices.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I am pulling my hairs, i love the htc one, but i miss my handsfree bluetooth functionality. I have tried searching the forums, but i haven't found any answers that worked.
I am having the same issue with having to manually confirm the Bluetooth connection in my car. Mines on a Toyota 86 with the GPS in dash, I believe it's made by eclipse who supply Subaru?

I too am having same issues. I also have a 2011 WRX with original radio. With my prior phone (GS2) I connected without problem and automatically every time I started the car. I have to manually connect the HTC one every time. Many others seem to not have this problem with other vehicles, so I'm starting to think it's the Subaru radio not playing nice with the phone. Please post if you find a solution.

I had similar problems in my car with an alpine radio, but with my galaxy s3.
In fact the thing is that when you register a phone on your radio (in my case) the radio just looks for the first one defined and registered to autoconnect.
Now, if in your radio you clear registered devices list, and try to register your htc, i am pretty convinced that it will autoconnect all the time.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Nicolas.
My HTCone synched immediately with the OEM bluetooth in my 2011 Kia Forte. No problema, in fact, it is a much better connection (clarity) than with the old EVO 4g, which initially required a bit of fiddling to make work. Hands free phone call system on the KIA works very well too. FWIW.

Thanks for that. I sorted out how to BTconnect my HTCone<--> Macbook, but could only do so, one file at a time. The app you mentioned works great (!) and allows me to push multiple files at ne time. Reviews say it is also a great file manager, that I have yet to determine but if so, an added bonus.
I am also having a problem with the HTC One bluetooth in my car. The phone connects to the car’s bluetooth system, pairs properly, although very slow, it uploads the phone book and call history. The problem is the call quality. The people I am calling complain about the sound, they feel the volume is too high and this distorts the sound, as well as there is too much noise added to the voice, or something like that. As soon as I switch to the phone speaker the sound that they hear gets better. This makes me think the bluetooth on this phone sucks. One person suggested the interaction between the noise canceling and main microphone is mixed up, but if I am using my car's sound system it should not use the phone's microphones anyway, or maybe it does? I guess what I am trying to say is that when I am using the car's stereo it should use only the car's microphones and speakers , but sound like the phone noise canceling microphone is still active.
If anybody has ideas for fixes, or suggestion for further tests, I will do it.
P.S. I didn't have any problems with my car's bluetooth with my iPhone 4 or Nexus 4.
Same for me. Sometimes the problem disappears. I assume the problem comes from the BTstack. In fact, the one is the only Android phone I know that use a different BT stack than blueZ. This stack is HTC one. It allows us having avrcp 1.3 (The name of the song displayed on our car audio). I hope the HTC one Google edition use blueZ stack. I will try a Rom based ion that. If the problem disappears, it will confirm the problem come from HTC stack.

BT problem
Hi,
I'm also having a problem with my BT while paired to the BT in my awesome Volkswagen sirocco.
I don't see any contact or missed calls or recent calls. The log is empty.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I am having the same issue...I had the Motorola Atrix 4g and it paired immediately with my Pioneer deck. That phone always reconnected and like you mentioned, pulled up Pandora etc. Now I have the HTC One, and it paired and connected but it refuses to play audio. Handsfree works (kinda sloppily, also like you mentioned), but the Media Audio portion doesn't work even though the phone reports that it is connected. My stereo says no device detected when I switch to BT Audio. I hope you find a resolution to this issue, I have searched everywhere and of course I saved the best for last and decided to finally check here @ XDA.
I posted earlier in the thread that I was having difficulties pairing my One with my Subaru WRX factory radio. I could not get it to automatically connect with the phone each time I started the car. I could manually get it to connect but that was a pain every time I got in the car. I was able to solve my issue by deleting every other pairing the radio had with other prior phones. I deleted any pairing my One had previously and then paired it with the car radio before any other device. It now connects regularly every time I start the car, and both audio and phone functions work perfectly. I would recommend anyone having blue-tooth issues to try the same. The Subaru radio also had a weird menu system that was different whether I was pairing the phone by using voice commands or trying to do it with physical buttons on the radio. Very confusing but going through the hands free voice command menu seemed to pair both audio and phone functions, where I could only pair audio functions when using the physical buttons on the radio. Seemed like two different systems.
Been having crappy noise issues with my 09 Acura TSX. I emailed HTC regarding this problem but, of course, their response was to 'check with the car manufacturer'. Will try that method and see how it goes.
My problem is a bit different. My htc One connects flawlessly with my JVC unit that too automatically. But it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. And that is a major issue. The phone also gets insanely hot in this process and today the OS crashed two times and i had to do a Hard Reset.
I am coming from an iPhone 5 on which bluetooth streaming was flawless.
Anyway to stop the auto-disconnect and re-connect going on.
My Bluetooth is mess up.
It can pair up, but the Address Book is not showing up on the car screen menu now. I don't know what happened. When I play music on my phone to the Bluetooth in the car, it is silence.
Does anyone know what is going on?
HTC One Bluetooth Problem in BMW
I am having the same problem.
My HTC One connects, I can make calls from the phone and the calls are clear, but I cannot see my contacts.
I have emailed HTC and they say it is the car (BMW 5 series). I have checked with BMW and there isn't an update for my car available. I am therefore, using the latest software. I previously used the HTC sensation which worked fine in the same car.
I am wondering if one could install an older version of the Bluetooth and A2DP software as the those on the HTC One do not work in my car and I cannot see BMW developing any updates and if they did, the cost could be as much as the phone.
Would appreciate any help

I can now see my contacts after more than a month!
I did many things, some of which I do not believe had anything to do with the process required.So I will stick with the main points and if this does not work I will include all that I can remember.
I unpaired all phones in the car (including the HTC One)
Pair the HTC One
Look out for the message BMW wants......................... contacts
Select yes
Wait for the contacts to load, this took a couple of minutes at least.

Been trying to find out for the longest time the definite set of codecs that the One supports over bluetooth. Besides SBC and AptX, does it also support MP3 and AAC??
The reason I'm asking is that I'm coming from a (company supplied) iphone and have been generally very happy with the bluetooth audio quality to my car's audio system (Audi) and Bose Soundlink Mini speaker. I know for sure the iphone supports AAC and due to the quality suspect it is used in both cases.
The Bose at least does *not* support AptX, however getting a definite codec list for the Bose is also impossible. I only managed to find buried in the offfical bluetooth certification pages that it is a BT2.1 device.
Why do all these manufacturer's hide this documentation?
Very disappointed to find out that the Bose Soundlink Mini negotiates a link with the HTC One using SBC...
These are both premium devices for which top dollars are paid, and they still shovel this **** on me.
I'm not sure on where to place the blame here, HTC for only(???) supporting AptX next to SBC, or Bose for only supporting SBC(???)
As mentioned, both are not transparent in their devices capabilities - isn't there an app to find out these things?
Beats is at least more clear: "Bluetooth 2.1 audio and supports SBC, aptX, AAC Codecs for high quality streaming"
Bit of a weird one. What is the number of active Bluetooth connection you can have? I currently have 2. One for my hands free in car and other for my android watch. But I want to add a third now
Is it possible all 3 active at once?

I don't have the 3rd Bluetooth item yet
I've had Bluetooth speaker (media only), hands free from my car, and my watch. As long as they are different profiles I think it will be OK.
Edit: obviously my car only had the phone routed through it when the speaker was connected, or at least I assume (phone showed both connected, no media was playing in the car though, and the speaker was in my house so I'm not sure)
My gut tells me this maybe a lollipop issue in general.
*On a call
*Another call comes in
*Nexus 6 switches audio source to handset
*Call is no longer on my Bluetooth earpiece
This can happen too when email / SMS arrives. I read about a lot of car BT based issues...this is just in the headset now.
Anyone out there feeling this too?
There is a problem with Bluetooth in Lollipop or the Nexus 6

Not many people use BT in their car or daily life at this point in time. Can't tell you how many people I see driving around with a phone in one hand and a steering wheel in the other. Kind of like people here in the USA that don't use cruise control on the highway when clearly you know that their car has it. But I've been hands free in cars for over six years in fact since the HTC HD2 came out. I realized at that point, that to be safe one must use BT and have equipment in car to support this. It's becoming a law in most states in the USA but not all and is not enforced by law as much as it should be, but those times are going to change. There are some forums on the web that talk about bluetooth in lollipop and many of them are confused and think they know what the problem is, but none have proved it yet. There are also other sources that claim BT is on it's way out, I don't know about that. But yes, there are some weird things happening with bluetooth if you use it a lot. I don't know what the answer may be to your problem but you might want to try a search on google to find out more information about this issue. Good luck.

Interesting perspective and ty for taking the time to post this.
Back to the point though; anyone out there having these types of specific challenges with Bluetooth on the N6 as I described above? It really makes this phone unusable for me @ work.
Yes, I also use BT in my vehicle. It used to connect through my car speakers automatically, but now im finding that when making/receiving a call, I need to manually tell it to switch to car speakers. I mean, why the hell would my car speakers stop playing regular radio when a call comes in and to make me still use my handset to talk/listen?having to manually switch to car speakers is dangerouse while on the freeway.

I was experiencing something similar.
I had a 2009 model Pioneer AVIC-x910BT headunit in my truck. And bluetooth worked fine until I got my Nexus 6 (coming from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 4). The Nexus 6 would mute my car audio properly, but when I picked up the phone, the phonecall was on the phone and not the car speakers.
I have the same car, but now I have a 2015 model Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX with Android Auto, and have not had one BT issue yet. I am assuming that the issue was either the N6 or Lollipop5.0 was having issues with the older BT technology my old radio used. Now that I have the newer radio, no call issues yet.

Could you share the model and make or the car?
to confirm my understanding,the call audio was on phone speaker and you had to manually select the it every time?
Was this working in the past for you?
Does this happen for every call or only during multiparty call?
I am now using a different BT headset, Jabra, and the model is at least a year old. I think I am going to look for a completely new model of bluetooth headset / earpiece that came on the market much more recently and see if this makes a difference.
I have been using a wired headset to avoid these challenges, but very much miss hands free use for phone calls. Anyone else feeling this issue out there?

It has happened to me as well. I use a Jabra Tour BT speakerphone, while having music streamed via a BB BT gateway to my car speakers When on the phone and another call / sms /email comes in, the phone connection to Jabra Tour is dropped, I have to manually reconnect (but after reconnecting to Jabra the phone call ends, somehow the media stream switches from BB gateway to Jabra = more manual switching). Unsafe to be doing this on a highway. My Galaxy Note 3 and prior to that Galaxy S3 worked perfectly well with the same setup.
I understand that Nexus 6 takes advantage of the new BT tech, but it should have been made backwards compatible with the older BT devices.
