[Q] Bluetooth problem: anyone have a new(ish) Honda? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having problems connecting my Nexus 6 to the HandsFreeLink on my 2014 Honda Pilot. When I make a call the Bluetooth connection drops then reconnects again. It happens every 30 sec or so and is driving me crazy! Music from the phone seems to play fine over Bluetooth in the car. Connecting the phone to the car was a ***** too - it took ages to recognize the car. The phone seems to connect to everything else fine. I am rooted if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!

Sorry that I cannot help. Not a developer. But I can confirm that issue with 2014 Honda Pilots. Had the same problem with ATT Note 3. It was finally solved by the developer of the ROM I was running. He told me that he did a build.prop change and everything started working. Now, on my current G3 I don't have the issue, except for few times.
There is, however another thing that annoys me. My Pilot is always behind by few seconds. I fear that it is just Honda software. I tried 4 phones with it and everything is the same. I would hear a bip on the phone then few seconds later, like 5, the car plays the same bip. Starting or stopping music is painful to

Bluetooth connectivity with Volvo

I'm currently 12 days away from being able to upgrade my Dinc and I'm planning on getting the Bionic. One concern I have about it is if it will be able to connect to the BT system in my Volvo (2012 S60). The Dinc gives me full integration, hands free calling and streaming music & podcasts.
However, my wife's Droid X will not remain connected to the system. It will pair, then immediately drop the connection. I'm worried that Motorola's BT stack has a chronic issue that will give the same performance. Anyone have suggestions or experience with this?

I think you'll be ok. I use a Jabra bluetooth for my car, and I had several issues with my Droid X2 as far as bluetooth connectivity goes. My Bionic on the other hand syncs perfectly and stays connected.
Both Moto devices (obviously) - both released recently - vast differences in BT connectivity.
Has anyone ever asked the sales people at VZW if you could try and pair a phone with your car, before you agreed to purchase it?
It works for talking in my 2010 s40 but not for streaming. I've never gotten any phone to stream though. I've never had a problem with using it as a phone over the bluetooth though.

Volvo S40 with Parrot and HTC DHD, V60 with HTC DHD and HTC Desire
Used to have a Volvo S40 2008 with Parrot 3200. My phone was a HTC Desire HD. Connecting them with bluetooth worked for 1 to 30 minutes. Then causing a disconnect and the phone running slow and hot. Got a new car earlier this year. Volvo V70 2012. Connecting the HTC DHD was hit and miss again. The phone would work, streaming would work, but still it disconnects after 1 to 30 minutes.
Got frustrated and got a new phone: HTC Desire. Same problem, but now it just takes 10 to 90 seconds to disconnect. This also means I haven't got a clue wether streaming and phone etc. work as they should at all. Also this the phone gets slow and starts running hot. Got frustrated even more and rooted the phone. No effect. Flashed Revolution HD on it. No effect.
Ready to break stuff now but that get's real expensive very fast with this type of toys!
Anyway....
Anybody have any idea on how to go about trying to fix this? I'm at the end of my options here and 180+ Euro fines for calling "hands-on" in the car does get painfull fast!
Streams Pretty well with my ford sync system
Although I do get some stuttering occasionally. Not sure if it is the phone or the car. Did the same thing with my D2.

[Q] Bluetooth issue

I just got my AT&T Moto X and have it paired with my car ('08 Ford Fusion) and my wife's van ('13 Honda Odyssey). It paired fine, streams audio, metadata, does calls,etc. fine. The issue I'm seeing is that when I get into my car or van, it takes a LONG time for the phone to connect to the car. Like a couple minutes. Every other phone I've had did this almost instantly. After a couple minutes go by I'll see the bluetooth icon turn blue on the phone, and then the vehicle will be connected, but it is really annoying to have to wait EVERY time. Anyone else seeing this or has anyone else ever heard of such an issue on a different phone even?

My bluetooth issue is it doesn't like to connect after I get in and out. I have to make sure I start my car with Bluetooth off then start the car then turn bluetooth on and it'll connect just fine.

Love the phone, hate the bluetooth

Anyone else haing issues here with bluetooth? I can connect to everything bluetooth, wireless speakers, car, headsets, watch etc. The only thing I can get to work reliably is the headset, everything else randomly cuts out or has issues. For example both cars have bluetooth for phone calls, one has bluetooth for media, I can get both to work for a short time but it either 1. Cuts out and reverts back to phone, freezes the system in the one car, or jumps back and forth between the 2. Similar results when connected to bluetooth speakers, can get it to work for about 10-15 minutes then nothing, phone shows it still connected and playing music but no sounds from speakers. LG G Watch R also randomly looses connection. I'm beginning to regret my switch from the S5.
Anyone having similar problems or a fix?? I really want to keep the phone but not sure I can deal with this flaw...........
I have no such issues with the bluetooth. I can tell you that I had bluetooth issues with one of my other android phones. I had to get it warranty replaced. My suggestion is that you get the phone replaced since its brand new.
Mine has been fine so far. I just wish that android was more like apple, as much as I hate to say that. Both my S6 and M7 will play phone audio fine when in a call, but to use maps I have to turn the radio to Bluetooth mode. Makes it kinda boring to ride with no radio just to get turn by turn nav.

I haven't had any issues with my smart watch (moto 360) but I have had some weird issues with my car's Kenwood media deck. The phone will connect to the unit, but 75% of the time no sound will come from the speakers on the first try. Sometimes just waiting about a minute does the trick, other times I turn BT off/on and it'll work fine the 2nd time. However because I haven't had any issues connecting with my watch, ear piece, or laptop I am willing to bet it's it an issue with the Kenwood and not the phone.
Thanks guys. Don't want to have to warranty swap it but looks like that's going to be my first step.

Bluetooth issues on Marshmallow

I'm having consistent BT issues on Marshmallow:
Moto 360 has been set up a couple times (reset) and after it's setup initially it isn't finding the phone and the phone doesn't see the watch. Worked fine before
Car's BT has also been paired a couple times and it doesn't see the phone and the phone doesn't see the car.

Several of my apps don't work with Bluetooth yet and I hope to get app updates soon for Marshmellow. Connects but no data transfers.

[Q] Anyone else having problems with the 3T and car bluetooth?

Mine stutters when connected to my car's headunit. It's especially bad when in a call. Wasn't a problem with my Note 3 and doesn't happen on other bluetooth devices.
I haven't had any Bluetooth issues other than the fact it eats a lot of my battery throughout the day but that's a usage issue than anything else. I also use Bluetooth in my car while commuting around the city. If the audio stutters, that often means the connection isn't stable therefore move closer or remove anything in between.
Does playing a track before the Bluetooth connection is established make a difference?

Not really. It cuts off for a second every minute or so. The phone is right in front of the headunit so i dont think distance os the problem. The case is plastic so that shouldn't be causing interference also.

Well it seems like there was a Bluetooth fix for Mazda cars in the latest OTA, do let us know if that fixes the problem.

I'm having the same issue with Bluetooth not connecting/cutting out when it does.
OnePlus 3T
Android: 7.0
OOS: 4.0.2
Car is a 2016 BMW 328i
Not a problem on my Optima. I actually had to tune it with an equalizer app because stock equalizer raises the Treble louder then the bass. All normal now but not cutting. Had problem connecting phone automatically for a few days but went away

Use my device with a set off speakers and to connect to my in car audio system and I don't experience the problems you have, sometimes I need to stop and start my music a couple of times whilst it reconnects again if I move between devices but after that it stays connected and working.
my phone has trust issues with my car. it always requires a re-pairing whenever I try to establish a connection (means, whenever I enter the car, and try to connect, it requires me to pair the same phone again)
Working perfectly with my car. Maybe updating car stereo firmware could help?
I will try to see if there is an update for the car master today (their site seems to be down atm). I have had it work at times but it usually has issues connecting and will stop/pause sometimes out of nowhere. It's really difficult because I need a Bluetooth connection when driving but it gets to the point that I need to forget and repair my phone everytime I drive....
I just got my my OP 3T . I had issues with it connecting to my VW Passat. Then I read the following at the car's BT manufacturer's FAQ
Some versions of Android use a deviate pairing method. This can cause the problem of a failing connection. The solution is the free tool Bluetooth File Transfer (Android) for a better Bluetooth connection. It is available at Google Play. Establish the pairing once with this app and from then, everything should work as normal.
So after this app connected for the first time to the car's unit, the phones own BT software also started connecting without problems when I turned the car off and on subsequent times.
Might be worth a try.
