I'm having several problems while connecting to my MyLink car system and Bluetooth LE devices.
Whenever I try to connect to any Bluetooth LE devices I loose the ability to connect to other older bluetooth devices as my MyLink car system. And among bluetooth LE devices, I get several disconnections warnings to these devices on their apps.
Depending on the App I open I have even trouble while disabling and re-enabling the bluetooth radio on my Moto X. I can disable, but not re-enable it.
Is any body else having similar problems? I head also that these are an Android general problem that spans through several different devices. Is this true?
I have found I can only have one Bluetooth device connected at a time. I can either have my watch or my jawbone, but not both
Really? I usually connect two BT devices at a time to my non-moto phone.
Car audio BT & BT earpiece. However, the earpiece is set for call audio only, the car stereo BT is set to media only.
Have you tried changing the settings similarly for your moto x? Only one action per device?

Is there an app for android to automatically connect A2DP when the handsfree connects?
I used to use an app called autoA2DP on win mobile.
At first pairing it connects both a2dp and handsfree, after that only handsfree connects automatically, any help would be appreciated as it's already driving me nuts....
Thanks!

Go to bluetooth settings, long press on the device in question, then options. Make sure Phone and Media are both checked.
Yep, they are... I can manually connect a2dp from both the car stereo and the phone, it just doesn't happen automatically like the handsfree does, had the same prob with windows mobile, but an xda dev user here developed autoA2DP to watch for a handsfree connection, then activate A2DP.
I don't know why yours is different, but mine auto connects for both every time I turn my Bluetooth headset on.
It does vary between headsets a bit. My Jabra Halo's connect automatically when I power on the phone or the headset. On the other hand my JBL Reference 610's had to be connected manually every time.
Still it seems odd though that is connects in handsfree and not A2DP, I always thought it was all or nothing. When a device connects it gives all available profiles and the phone decides what to accept. I don't know, sorry.
I have the same problem.. it does not auto connect with my car's bluetooth. The only way it auto connects is when I have the discoverable mode on (which has a limit of 116 secs or so). So an app that lets you be discoverable all the time would be great!

Same problem but reverse. My phone connects automatically to my phones music everytime i switch it on, however the more important headset/phone functions do not. I must manually disconnect and reconnect the stereo from within the phones bluetooth settings for both to work. Have looked through hundreds of threads found loads of people eith the same problem, yet no solutions. Would love an app to just disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth the moment it detects a paired device in range.... as yet found nothing...
Well... I'm getting the same.
I have LiquidAUX on my car and to have both phone and a2dp synced, I have to restart phone BT and LiquidAUX every time I go into car. And most of the times I can only have 1 connection each time, or phone is on and a2dp is off or a2dp is on and phone is off. It's really annoying since I had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and it used to work with no problems...
Hi guys,
Before one month I buy HTC Desire android and I have problem streaming audio through Bluetooth. I have connected the phone with my car and they are paired. Every time when I go in the car my phone is connected to the car Bluetooth automatic, but I'm not able to run A2DP.
I'm with latest Runney rom, before that I tested with MIUI XJ, but no success with both.
Can some one tell me if there is rom without these 2 issues - bluetooth auto connection and a2dp.
Thanks
I have a Pioneer car stereo with built in Parrot bluetooth and media connection. I had this issue with my previous phone so it must be either an Android issue or problem with my car stereo bluetooth. Every time I connect bluetooth to the car stereo the phone enables media connectivity and I have to manually go in and turn it off again. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off again as it says it's connected even though it isn't (tick box is ticked but if I untick it it connects and I have to untick it again and OK it to verify). Also if I disconnect it then cycle through the sources on the car stereo as soon as I get to bluetooth it enables it again.
I don't want it on because I want to hear media audio through the phone speakers and phone calls through the car stereo.
Android 4.1.2 at present.

I think the answer lies in the question here,, Parrot Bluetooth Media Connection.
The stereo isn't 'smart' enough to determine that what is connecting to it is a Phone/MP3 and as such you wont be able to split the audio to have the phone play music and the Stereo take calls, it'll end up being one over the other.
One way around this would be to test with a completely different Bluetooth Headset to see if this allows music to be played on the Device and Calls to come through on the Headset,, failing that its going to have to be a potential dev jobby to split how the device sends its audio and to what specific device,,, if that lies with HTC and Android/Us or Pioneer/Parrot themselves,, might be worth asking whats the official standpoint on this with the Manufacturer and see if they are getting this same issue from multiple folks

I have the same problem with my HTC One across four different ROMs, two GE and two Sense.
It's NOT an issue with my car stereo (uConnect system) as it works flawlessly on my Nexus 7 and VZW Galaxy Nexus. I prefer to have media (music, Ingress etc...) play over the phone. Only thing I want to play over the uConnect is the actual phone. No matter how many times I unselect media in the bluetooth settings it selects it again.
I see this is an old thread, anyone have any ideas?
Nope. It does not always do it though. I found that if I leave bluetooth on it seems to be OK just as long as I don't switch through from aux to radio to CD and back to USB again on the Pioneer. If I use the automatic bluetooth app to save battery it connects but then connects with the media option enabled. Bummer.

I've just installed Bluetooth Auto Connect have to go run some errands in a little while, I'll let you know if it helps out managing profiles or not.
If it works let me know what settings you used as I don't understand all the options lol.
bluetooth problem
Hi developers: Thanks Team Venom for a great ROM. I have only one problem. Rom 2.7 no problem with Bluetooth in the car. 3.1 Installation of clean and dirty disables bluetooth. Ten seconds connected and then disconnected. Again, connects and disconnects. So it all over again. It is in version 3.6 ... any change BT software? You can install the software separately BT? Or any other advice? Thank you very much
edit: I deleted the original settings in the car. Again the connection and still the same problem.
Hi,
I've recently bought a new car which has Bluetooth but rather stupidly I've just discovered that it can only be used for calls. So what I'd like to do is buy a 2nd Bluetooth receiver and connect it to the cars aux port so that I can stream Spotify to my car. But my question is, could I be connected to both Bluetooth devices at the same time and could I configure one (the cars) for calls and the other (3rd party) for music? If so how would I set this up on the phone?
Many thanks
Yes it could. I'm using it that way
Just disable calls on 1st and disable music on 2nd device

i'd have thought you are just not setting it up right in the car, but i had a Mini loaner that was also somehow only phone use and not music enabled. just weird.
in your bluetooth settings, there's an exclamation mark inside a circle that is used for device-specific settings (as any other phone has as well) that will let you choose phone and/or media for each device.
so your car will be phone only of course, but on your bluetooth receiver, you'd pair it, and you have the option to turn off the phone function for that receiver so that its an audio-only device
This is my setup:
Aftermarket head unit (IDCORE) connected through AUX to car stereo. AA is connected wireless (S10+, stock) with head unit; there is also car BT connected to mobile; when driving TWO active BT connections: 1, phone - car BT for audio and 2, IDCORE for AA).
And this is my problem:
AUX output (head unit -> car stereo) works, but has a quite annoying (static?) noise. Ground loop isolator is set, everything I can do hardware-wise is done -but the quality of AUX sound is MUCH LESS than it is when using BT phone-car connection (makes sense, Meridian built in system, with fiber optic).
Question:
considering above and that there IS an active phone-car BT audio connection during driving (beside the necessary AA-IDCORE connection) is there a way (software, app, switch?) to route AA sound through the phone-car BT audio connection, instead of the (noisy!) AUX wire?
Rooting of the phone is not an attractive option (due to my company account on the phone) - but I would be interested in any solution; as noise on the AUX output is quite disturbing. Thanks in advance
Have you checked the Bluetooth settings and checked music audio for the connection to the head unit?
Just did it. I CAN route music audio (in my case TuneIn) to BT in the settings of the phone (sounds, separate app sounds setting), but 1, this does not work (no sound over car BT from TuneIn, when using it on AA), 2, this setting can only be set for ONE application at the time (and I also use navigation, news service on AA), 3, the Android Auto app (the one I need?) does not show up in the application list of this setting. Still stuck.
My idea was (but I don't know if it is possible) a nifty app, that FORCES all sound (music, nav, news, etc) from the phone to BT (car), even when using AA.
I've got the same problem, using AA over USB and can't get Viper working because it doesn't stream over Bluetooth.
I have the same request. I have an AA unit attached to an original BMW X5 nav system. I can switch between them by long pressing the MENU button. The problem is that the AA unit can output sound only via audio jack and my car's system has fiber optics. The quality is very poor when compared. Is there anyway in which I can force my Android phone to output AA sound through car's BT? The AA unit has an option to do this for phone calls but unfortunatly not for regular sound (Spotify etc).
Anyone heard of anything related to this? I noticed that in the iPhones there is a setting in the accessibility options to route the audio through bluetooth. But there is nothing similar in AA. I can't believe this feature is not requested more.
Has anyone solved it? I'm struggling with the same thing.
I just ended up buying a BT transmitter which connects to my device's jack audio out and in turn it connects to the car's bt. It is stupid that there is no software solution to such a simple problem. Why can it do it for audio calls but not for music!? Why the iPhone can do it but the all configurable God of a mobile OSes simply can't?
Also, another idiotic thing of AA is that it doesn't allow you to switch the call to speaker or another bt device... in fact nothing happens when I get a call on the actual phone when connected to stupid AA. This is sooooo idiotic. Way to go android...
Aawireless also has a fewture that solves this also
Really? Where? What is it's name? Where do I access this?!
Aawireless: that is a piece of hardware again, isn't it (https://www.aawireless.io/)?
I look for an app/ software to solve this issue, if possible..
Aaahh I thought the reference was to Android Auto Wireless not a 3rd party hardware thing.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a solution to connect two phones in the car via Bluetooth at the same time.
I wonder if it depends on AA or on the car itself and its software.
I use AA cable in opel astra 19r. - works great.
A second phone would be enough for me to be able to connect via BT to handle calls. How to do it?
I mean that the connection of two phones should be simultaneous - that is, no matter which phone is ringing, the sound is heard through the loudspeakers in the car.
In the case of wireless headphones, the connection of two phones, a computer works without any problems - and the headphones "catch" on which device there is some action and switch to it.
Maybe someone found a way to do it? Any hints?
Hands free calling is only possible with one phone if you use Android Auto (regardless if wired or wireless).
On some cars there is the possibility to connect a second phone to listen to Bluetooth media (but this depends on the car).
I was also looking for a solution to connect two phones. In the end I gave up...
It's up to the car (or headunit).
