Strange issue with ford sync/blue tooth after 4.4 update - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just updated my phone to 4.4 and now when I try to pair my phone through sync it flashes the prompt to pair and that's it. I tried other phones and they pair fine just not mine now has anyone experienced this?

Could be sync itself have u pulled the fuse? I have to do that about every 6 months or so

Sync
make sure that you completely delete Sync from your phone and your phone from the car (Sync) Then when you pair, and it gives you the passcode, push "change code" or something along those lines. It will let you make a custom code, just put in 0000 and then put that in your phone. That should fix it. I sell new Lincolns for a living and I think everybody that I sell to has trouble with the system so I found this to be the easiest way to do it. Let me know if that helps.

Issue with Allshare Cast dongle

I got my dongle today and registered my Galaxy Note 2 with it. The issue I have is that the phone says it's connected to the dongle and my TV says it's connecting but after a short time my phone says that all Allshare Cast connections are going to end and then it turns off and the TV goes back to the registration screen.
Anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

You don't need to disable Root.
Usually mine takes a couple of those dud connections before a solid one is established. If it takes more I press the button at the back of the Allshare Cast Dongle to reset it and then it seems to work fine.
I'm able to establish a connection for two seconds before the phone says 'Connection failed. Connected device is not HDCP compatible'. Do you guys get that as well?
Is everyone that is having issues with the Allshare devise rooted? If so as I was having the same issue, I purchased Triangle Away from the market and after I ran that like 3 time in a row my devise and my rooted phone works like a charm.

I'm thinking about getting one of these before my Samsung 50% off coupon expires. Just have a few questions. I used the Triangle Away after I rooted, before flashing a ROM, so it should work okay, right?
Also, I was planning on using it to stream Netflix, can I hold a Wi-Fi connection and use this at the same time? I know miracast uses Wi-Fi and won't let you connect to Wi-Fi while streaming, but I don't know how similar allshare is. Netflix works fine over MHL, but Hulu does block MHL connection. Anyone have any issues with apps not allowing the content to be sent over allshare? I tried to search, but can only find info about set up, not the Wi-Fi or Netflix specifically.

I think its after you flash a rom that you should use it. You are basically erasing the flash counter to 0.

Wow getting the same negative connection results with flash count.
Were is the master hacker that can modify app not to read count so it can be used by 99% of XDA members with Allshare Toggle ?

Im waiting for them to show up as well but I just run the app 2 or 3 times when my connection doesnt go through and it works.

Well hopefully someone with talent will step up with fix.
As of right now no issue running Allshare on ATT stock rooted with Triangle Away count clear.
On customs like Scotts CleanRom its a no go.
N7105 International port for att its a no go as well , Triangle Away cant be used to remove count while on that rom.
brick brick brick will occur if you do.
Anyway I flashed back to stock recovery , cleared count , synced with Allshare on first try , Cranked up Directv app and have movie blasting on a Sammy 50'' plasma
Allshare is great but severely crippled with count check in.
Installed and used triangle away and it works. Its pretty badass actually.

Will the Samsung Jig work to clear the count so the Allshare Cast Dongle works?

Just get the official one from Samsung with 50% off coupon codes, and make sure you are on stock rom before you use Triangle Away.

Nexus 4 Google Wallet Fail.

So I was excited to finally use Google wallet on my nexus, I walked into my local McDonalds and ordered just a regular cheeseburger. When the lady asked me to pay I then busted out my phone and tried to tap the NFC pad, it didn't do anything and everyone was staring at me thinking I'm some sort of alien. I just thought maybe you guys have some fails too, please post below!!

Since PA had been updating the ROM a lot, I forget to set up my wallet. Every time I have the chance to use it, it takes forever to set up. I always just end up using my debit card
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
It's happened to me too. My wallet works at a lot of places, so it's not my phone, but it's still embarrassing. It's the store/restaurant, but the dummies working there don't know how to use pay pass or their system was never set up for our even though the pass pad is on.

I've used it with vending machines a few times. I'm afraid to use it at a store cause I don't know if its set up on their system and I don't want to make an idiot of myself. Lol

There is a list that is easily found that shows the stores, etc that have signed on. It works well at those places of your set up. I have only used it twice though as not many stores use it yet.

I recently tried to use it at my place of work. No matter what, the cashier and I couldn't get it to work. She had heard of the technology and even has another customer who uses Google wallet. I finally decided it was the phone and paid cash. Wallet recognizes its near the NFC debit reader, but says the data transfer may have failed.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I have had it work and not work. In fact, it has worked AND not worked in the same McDonalds, but most likely different pads. My friend that works for google says that it is most likely the pad that doesn't work. But when you start it, make sure you have set up wallet AND that the screen has been turned on. You might want to try resetting your phone before you go into a place where you are going to pay with wallet.
Mine has always worked other than the first time at Target.
The instructions tell you to unlock the phone first, tap NFC pad, then put in your access code. That way did not work for me.
Instead, I turn on my phone and load up wallet first. Enter the pin, and keep it at the card screen. Tap to pay. WIN.

mine always works. i've had a fail here n there but usually my fault after updating roms and not setting wallet back up. unlock screen, tap and you will hear a beep, enter pin, tap again and done. when you get used to it you get faster.

I gave u a Thanks to cheer you up after the embarrassment.
But yep, I am always afraid of using it, anyway my CC gives me cashback so no need for Google wallet, the first thing I do when I root is to take out the *nfc*apk and Wallet.apk so they don't take resources.
I like more the idea of the Apple passbook.

Register NFCs should always be on, and shouldn't be disabled at any time unless it's broken.

At McDonalds yes, you have to open the app first, then tap. That ALWAYS works for me.

Anyone have an issue with Bluetooth always scanning and not finding paired devices?

Stock 3.05.651.6. I usually send files to my computer via Bluetooth, but since one of the last updates when I go to share anything via Bluetooth to my paired computer, it just searches for devices and doesn't show my paired devices until I shut Bluetooth off then right back on again.
Anyone have this issue, or hear of it?

I've had this issue when copying alot of files (gigs at a time). I think it has to do with the time limit you set to lock your phone. Once the timer hits and your phone is locked (meaning you need to enter pin or lockscreen pattern to unlock), it'll disconnect the usb connection as well.
What I tend to do is every once in awhile, I'll tap the screen to make sure it stays on and unlocked. Haven't had this issue since then.
Hope that helps in your case.
It's just strange though. I never had this issue before. Also, it does this when trying to copy playlist files and it started doing it when trying to copy folders. Files were fine, but folders weren't. So weird.

Are you using the OEM USB cable for your transfer? I've got several micro USB cables but only one of them works reliably (the OEM one). It's also possible the OEM cable is going bad if you've had it a while. Maybe you have some extra cables you can test it with?
Surprisingly, I was using it. I used the cable from my EVO 3d for the longest time without issues, but as soon as use the OEM one I start having issues.

Anyone else have issues with bluetooth and calls?
When I'm in my car, it cuts in and out and is almost completely useless as a phone. Don't remember it being like this when new.

both my car ('13 vw gof tdi, stock head unit) and my headset i use in the office (lg hbs 730) seem to work fine, not sure that helps though.
This happens for me if I have my Gear 2 watch paired with it and it's streaming music in my car. It'll cut out for a second and it's not a notification.

Afaik it wont be resolved with new phone as well. Its a bug in kitkat. Only way to fix this is turn wifi off when connected to bluetooth and driving.

I have a nexus 4 previously and now a moto x and s5. Everyphone has this issue.. My problem is when i am on call and driving for some reason i can hear others voice but others cant hear mine. If i switch to ear piece and back to bluetooth it works just fine again for sometime. So i searched a lot and found that turning wifi off solves the issue. It works for me atleast

If your music stutters then it might be a problem with memory. Trying freeing up memory with clean master. Also check what process are running in settings>applications and kill some apps which are not useful for you. Try it.. Hope it works out for you
