Here is my fix in case anyone runs into this issue:
On the pioneer website it says there Is no need to do a firmware update on may of their products unless you have an iphone 5 or ios6. I looked into what the update does and basically it brings the AVCRP standards of the head units up to 1.4. (the Galaxy Note 4 Variants use the latest AVCRP 1.5, which is not currently used by many devices.) I have never bothered with the update because i am a die hard android user. I decided to flash the update to my head unit and low and behold i have full controls again.
The only drawback is that to update your firmware is you need a Bluetooth compatible PC to flash. The flashing instructions on the pioneer website need some updating as there were some steps that weren't possible on a windows 8 PC. If you get stuck while flashing firmware to your deck, let me know and i will help guide you through it.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR HEAD UNIT..... Just like flashing a phone there is some risk in flashing firmware to any device if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, either dont do it or send it in to pioneer and have them do it.
OP: I Just got my Note 4 as an upgrade to my Note 2 (i was dn3v5 4.4.2 KK on it) . I Just have one issue. When i connect Vial Bluetooth to my Pioneer head unit in my car it plays and sounds great and does everything my note 2 did. However when i play music I can not use the buttons on the deck to "Skip" forward or backwards to the next song in any music player. I can pause and play but no skip. I have tried it with the stock ROM as well as infamous 2.3 and rapture v2.1.
I have searched the forums as well as hours of Google searching and all i get back is sound quality issues or cars not connecting at all. I just cant understand why it would respond to some buttons but not all.
Is anyone else having this issue?
edit:the head unit i am running is a 2013 pioneer DEH-PRS80 it is BT 3.0 compliant.
This is Bluetooth 4.0. Contact pioneer and see if they offer a work around or an update.

OK so in less then a few minutes I found your answer. No. That radio was made in 2012 and is not compatible with Bluetooth 4.0.

Thank you for the reply. I have been searching for the last couple of days and i didn't see anything pointing to my exact issue. I will give them a call. Also everything i have read said 4.0 is backwards compatible that's why i am confused as to why all of the buttons wont respond.

It is on pioneer website. Last firmware update was Jan of 2013 and only for Bluetooth 3.0. They don't update cause they want you to buy new radio. You can call them but I think you are Sol. Sorry man

I I understand that. I will give them a call. None of their other decks have specs like this one, Not going to give it up as i built my whole system around its networking functions. I guess i will have to see what they say.
Note 4 same issue...sort of
I have a note 4 and initially the skip feature worked flawlessly. It recently stopped working for no reason. Did you figure out how to fix it?

Hi All,
I have Samsung Note for a few months an I'm having real problem with the low speaker volume, I tested various solutions but nothing helped.
I want to check if this model has a manufacturing hardware problem. What I'm asking you is to make a small test,
about a minute, on a problem I lately noticed in my phone that the "right speaker" isn't working.
I listened to "happiness is a warm gun", this song is comprised of 4 parts and in the last part I couldn't hear
John Lennon singing but I could hear the other group members making background sounds.
Then it occurred to me that the song was recorded in two channels, John Lennon in one and the others in the second.
I then checked my speaker with the "Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" I found on YouTube.
It proved to me that I could here only the left speaker, the right one didn't make any sound.
Since I read so many Samsung Note owners complain about the weak speaker volume, I request you to
check if this happens also on your phone. I want to check if this only happens on my phone or if it's a global
issue and perhaps that is the reason for the low volume problem.
I cannot post outside links yet because I'm a new user, so I ask you to search for the
"Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" on YouTube and try your phones.
Please state your model and OS, mine is GT-N7000 and the OS is Android 4.0. I think it is a European version.
Two notes:
1. I tested those audios on Samsung S and they sound fine.
2. My phone is still under warranty, I will eventually give it for repair but I first want to know
if this problem happen to others as well.
thx

hi, I just came back from the store, I gave it for service so I haven't checked the headphones.
The guy at the store first tried to convince me that this is normal and this phone doesn't have
left and right speakers, only single one. I had to show him this audio test on another Samsung device
in order for him to accept it as fault. It's good I had some of you guys to do this test for me so I could be sure
when I was talking to him.
ya.. we seem to know more than them
hi,
I found out what the problems was, it is related to power saving mode.
When the battery goes beyond 30% than only a single speaker is heard.
Samsung confirmed it and said they should fix it in a future version.
If you are below 30% (or whatever value in your settings) but charging
than you will hear both speakers.
Just to let you know guys.
So from reading just about all the threads in the dev sections, it seems that Bluetooth is something that is inherently broken frome htc? This would explain alot of things...including why my awesome Bluetooth nyko controller doesn't work. lol. Anyone have any input on this matter? And i guess another thing i was curious about is the leaked 4.2 RUU that was posted in the dev section, does anyone know if the Bluetooth is fixed in that by chance? I know that the jump from 4.1.2 to 4.2 was a large improvement of Bluetooth for my nexus.
Bluetooth works just fine for me. Granted all I use it for is the headunit in my car.

Thats really weird. I always have problems trying to pair any bluetooth controller to the One. They all say they pair but never work in any apps :\
Bluetooth source is botched from HTC just for the Sprint variant. So on stock kernel you'll be fine but until fixed (which I'm working on) all custom kernels you won't be able to use bluetooth for calls. Streaming works fine.

Bluetooth pairing worked fine for me with my car, and I was able to import all my contacts to the car. Haven't actually used it for an in-phone call yet, but so far no issues. I also haven't rooted or run modded kernel/ROMs.
Bluetooth is only broken on custom kernels. I use viper rom and use Bluetooth all the time in the car for streaming and calls as well as at home with my desk headset from Plantronics.

This was my experience as well with my nexus s 4G on Sprint. I've had serious low volume issues with my HTC One when trying to connect with the factory bluetooth in my car (2004 330ci). I started a thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266974 ) but have yet to receive any replies. Good luck!

Thanks for working on this! I love this phone aside from this, which is a serious inconvenience. When you say you're working on this, is it a custom rom or custom kernel that you're working on, or just the bluetooth problem specifically? My phone is currently stock, but I'll happily root it if you release a solution for this. Thanks again!
Bluetooth is so slowly for my cell phone.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
When I have one of my Bluetooth Bluetooth headsets connected to any of my devices (Note 2, Note 3 and Nexus 7), and watch YouTube video it works fine in portrait mode. But one I go to full-screen mode I get the little Chromecast icon in the middle of the screen and the video dims and it stays that way even after returning to portrait mode. It is very annoying. (SEE PICS BELOW)
If BT is not connected I have no issues.
Going to work now, tonight I see if I can figure out how contact Google about the issue, just to make sure they are aware.
Isn't this just a dupe of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471601

Very interesting how is LG G2 software optimizations? ? Same as Gflex?
I promise long time ago that I will never buy the phone with this brand again after LG G2x first "dual core" Tegra2 device. There was a big issues with random reboots and LG didn't help to us. (with own flagship device)....people began to asking for help...LG didn't answered...LG Optimus 2X is so bad users have created an online petition...so yea man we all have a bad experience with any "BRAND" but LG is most fuked "for me"....
something is wrong with your phone then..I have this BT headset and have been listening to music on it all day today..
http://en-us.sennheiser.com/ear-bluetooth-headset-smartphones-presence
Plus, I use BT all the time on my lexus rx 350, and my wife's Acura TL..
I am on T-mobile, so I dont know if that makes any difference when it comes to BT radios..

OK so I've had a nexus 6 since they came out but recently I went back to my moto x pure edition. Now I'm back to the nexus. The thing is I have a new truck. The moto x it's ok with the Bluetooth. A few things down work right but I can deal with it. This nexus however. Will only stream Pandora. You can't make or receive calls. I know Chevy has said it's on there end. So I'm wondering is anyone using a Rom that the Bluetooth integration is functional with the my link system. Not asking a best Rom just are there any that work with it and what are they. I'll be trying them myself but if some already know and can speed up my search I would be very greatful.
@pacman377,
I'm surprised to hear that it's a vehicle problem. My N6 (stock, July security update) connects via BT with no problem, to my '14 vette.
Mine stock rooted and bootloader unlocked and it doesn't work. I've done a lot of reading since I've been at work and a lot points to Marshmallow not working in a variety of different vehicles. The moto x was on 6.0.1 and it was ok. A few problems but it worked. Some say it has something to do with bt stacks others claim that Chevy knows there is a problem with Nexus devices on Android 6. I have heard one say the n preview worked so I'm going to see what happens with that first.
For what it's worth to those reading who might have some advice it's happening in a 14 Silverado ltz. It does work in my wife's 13 terrain and with the bt in the boat and my other truck.
I have a 2014 Silverado LT, and BT works flawlessly for me. As far as the phone function go's. I don't use Pandora, or other music streaming.
It was all just an illusion

Ok thanks man I've tried the N preview and a few ROMs they work one time and don't the next. Not really a pattern to it. Moto had sent me a replacement and I guess the BT is shot on this one.
