Bluetooth car kit dialing does not work

I have a Dension Gateway Five Bluetooth car kit and it is working perfectly with other devices (HTC HD2 Android, HTC Sensation, Samsung S3).
With the RAZR i I can use it to pick up calls just fine but I cannot use the phonebook to dial out. I can also use the phone to dial out just fine.
But when I dial from my car stereo/BT it seems that it does not dial, but when I look in the call history I would see a call with a duration of 0 seconds. So it is dialing.....
I have even completely reset the car kit.
I have seen there is another thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051863) about BT but it seems to be regarding a different issue and I cannot try the tool as I cannot root my device.
Any ideas anyone or same behaviour?

I have the same issue.
I have a Ford car and I connect my Razr I to my Ford car stereo via bluetooth. Before JB OTA update (I got it last week), Bluetooth was ok : I was able to manage my Razr I from the keypad of the Ford car stereo (dial, answer call, ...)
Since JB update, when I am trying to dial, it does not work if the screen is locked. However, if the screen is unlocked, I am able to use the phone from car stereo.
Even if the setting "Parameters -> Security & screen lock -> Allow Bluetooth bypass" is ON, it does not work ...

I eventually found how to get bluetooth working on my car stereo.
I just delete the pairing (in the car stereo and in the Razr I) and I did a new bluetooth pairing between my car and my Razr I.
All works fine now.

Car stereo hijacks bluetooth media connection

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.

[Q] Bluetooth Car Audio Mute Feature Lost with 4.4

Before the KitKat update, Moto X would automatically mute whatever audio was playing through my car stereo (non-bluetooth audio, CD, radio, ipod, etc) when I interacted with it. This included texts via Moto Assist, Google Maps nav instructions, or even speech with touchless control. This was one of the main features I loved about this phone.
Now since the update, my phone doesn't mute my car audio any longer. I've tried unpairing and re-pairing the phone with no luck. The muting works fine when playing music from my phone through the bluetooth media option in my car. But it used to also work with other audio from non-bluetooth sources as well. The "Phone Audio" and "Media Audio" settings are checked in the bluetooth pairing on my phone, and the "mute audio" setting is checked for bluetooth on my car. I know that Google introduced some new Bluetooth functionality with 4.4, so not sure what settings might have been changed.
Anyone else have this issue, or know of a fix? For what it's worth, the car is a 2013 Volvo S60.

No one had this issue?

[Q] HTC One - Converted to GPe now have Bluetooth Audio Issues

I converted my HTC One to GPe 4.4.2 stock ROM and flashed the Bulletproof Kernel. I am now having Bluetooth audio issues.
I have a QED uPlay which is connected to my home HiFi setup. I use this to play music from my HTC One, Nexus 7 and Laptop.
I use Spotify, iPlayer Radio/ Capital Radio app etc and have various problems.
Spotify Only:
When I use the EQ settings within Spotify I get a kind of vibrating sound though the speakers when I open up menus. If I turn EQ off, this goes away. I am generally content to turn the EQ off when it is connected to my HiFi, but when I have my earphones in I like to tune the earphones. This means having to go into setting to turn this on and off depending on what method I am using to listen to music.
iPlayer Radio & Capital Radio App
I sometimes get the same noise as above. There is however no EQ settings within these apps, and it seems completely random.
All Music Sources
When I hold the device in my hand, or physically stand between the phone and QED uPlay, I get broken sound as if I am a distance away when in fact I am only a meter or so away.
I have tested all with my stock Nexus 7 running Kit Kat, and I don't have the issue with holding the device and or standing in front of it causing it to breakup but I do get the vibrating sound every time on iPlayer Radio. I had none of these issues before the GPe conversion or the Kit Kat update to Nexus 7. I also have a cheap bluetooth speaker that shows the same issues.
So...
It seems the vibrating sound is a Kit Kat bug
but what about the poor signal strength of the HTC One by just holding it etc? Anyone got any ideas on this?

[Q] No sound in Bluetooth headset when phone is connected to watch

Hi,
I have a Nexus 6 (stock 5.1, rooted but no other system modifications), a pair of Philips Fidelio M2BT Bluetooth headphones and a Watch Urbane (fully stock). When I connect the headphones to the phone with the watch already connected I get no media sound in the headphones even though they connect successfully. If I look go to the Bluetooth settings the headphones are listed as "Connected (no media)". Sometimes the sound is played on the phone speakers and sometimes nowhere. I can usually get around this by first disconnecting the watch in the Wear app before connecting the headphones and then the watch. Sometimes I also need to turn Bluetooth off and back on before starting to reconnect the devices and sometimes I need to reboot the phone. I've used the phone and headphones together for half a year with no issues whatsoever. Also note that I'm not trying to connect the headphones to the watch but to the phone.
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

I don't have my Urbane yet, so I'm not sure if I can help. But when the phone is connected to the Urbane, can you edit the Bluetooth connection on the phone to ensure that it's not taking audio (I know it doesn't have speaker, but is it taking the Media Audio Profile?)

Thanks for the suggestion but no, the Urbane is listed only as a "raw" Bluetooth device, i.e. there are no check boxes for profiles in it's Bluetooth settings. In fact it's never listed as connected at all in the Bluetooth device list. I figured that this is some kind of Android Wear quirk but it's my first Wear device so I'm not sure.

I have the watch and my bluetooth speaker in the car and I have had no issues using both of them. I also have a third bluetooth USB adapter connected to the USB of my car that allows me to stream music and no issue with it either. I have the OnePlus One with custom firmware running Lollipop 5.1.1
My bluetooth speaker only has "Phone Audio" checked (no other options), the bluetooth USB stick has the "phone audio" unchecked and the "Media Audio" checked, and the Urbane does not have a check mark option.
Try updating the Android Wear app.. they released some update yesterday that might help fix your issue.

Thanks for the info. The new wear app didn't make any difference but the fact that you have a couple of Bluetooth audio devices working flawlessly made me start suspecting my headphones instead of the watch - didn't really know where to start so I picked the watch since it's the latest addition. Searched around a bit and realized that others were having connectivity problems with them too, especially when using them with multiple devices (fantastic headphones in every other aspect). This review was really interesting and the tip about how to reset the headphones did the trick for me. Not a great solution as I probably need to repeat it after using them with other devices than my phone but at least I now know that the watch is not to blame - it was just the trigger for some bug in the crappy headphone Bluetooth implementation.
