I have used a IPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4 and now my new LG G2. All the other phone have been perfect for streaming music through Bluetooth except for the LG G2. The music plays really slow and the songs skip about every 5 to 10 seconds.
I am not trying to complain and in about 2,000 miles I will be getting a oil change so there might be updates for my cars Bluetooth. In the mean time I am using a audio cable to listen to my music thru my car stereo.
Anyone with simular experiences with their Uconnect. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye with the basic stereo not the touch screen.
This is because Uconnect is not compatible with the G2, or vice versa, I constantly check the Uconnect website for updates but have none so far.

Yeah, I kind of figured! Oh well, I love my G2 and my Dart...even if they don't play well together. Bluetooth calling seems flawless though...it seems to be just streaming that glitches out.
I would recommend installing CM11 and see if that fixes it. CM team use different kernels and drivers. Might solve it. Seems like a lot of work and risk losing LG specific features though.

If you're on 4.2.2 isn't it a defect in Android specific to music streaming over blue tooth? I have a 2014 Ram 1500 and BT works perfectly for phone on uConnect but not for music. I am just hoping 4.4.2 drops for the G2 soon as I think that will fix it

I have a 2012 Fusion and I stream over BT everyday. On 4.2.2. Sounds wonderful.

I would rather walk than drive a Ford. My wife had a Ford lemon and I had a Mercury lemon...
The only Ford I would drive is a Mustang.
I have a 2013 Dodge Avenger and BT streaming works fine for me.
Is your phone rooted or stock? Do you know what stereo you have? Mine is just the base model.
I have had no problem with any other phone I have tried.

All companies have Lemons. Almost bought a pathfinder but IT was a lemon.
First Ford I've ever purchased and I don't regret a thing. Always had Japanese cars before.

I agree, I was just playing.
I don't do the Ford vs Chevy...Xbox vs Sony...coke vs Pepsi...
Kit Kat fixed my problem...streaming perfect now with my G2.
I'm considering getting this phone.
I have a Sony head unit quick supports MirrorLink. According to various press releases, this phone is supposed to support it, but I have heard mixed things about whether or not MirrorLink actually works.
Can anyone with a compatible car stereo please give it a try and let me know if/how MirrorLink works? It's the only thing keeping me from buying this phone.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I've still yet to hear anything about MirrorLink working, but I did find someone who didn't get it working, with some kind of 'no mirrorlink compatible applications found' type of error.
I'm hoping someone who has a mirrorlink compatible head unit and a Note 4 can chime in on this!
Sorry to shamelessly bump, but it's the deciding factor for me.
Mirrorlink Error Galaxy Note 4 and AppRadio3
I hooked up my Note 4 with my AppRadio3 and it tells me i have no supported applications. The phone starts mirrorlink and tells me it is connected and the mirrorlink icon on the stereo appears, but when i press the button, it gives me the error and has a black screen. I am using the pioneer Mirrorlink USB cables.
Thanks for that. I actually bought one before reading your comment, tried it, experienced the same problem, and returned the phone. Otherwise, was a great phone.
Mirrorlink Error Galaxy Note 4 and AppRadio3
Called pioneer. Found out all the new phones. M8 and note 4 use mirrorlink 1.1 and pioneer uses 1.0. They don't know when they will upgrade to the new standard.

I have an M8 and it works with my XAV-601BT, which is very old and only supports MirrorLink 1.0, so I am sure that the M8 is ok, at least with my unit.
At least since you have an AppRadio, you can probably use ARUnchained or the like, but you'll have to go through rooting and finding a kernel with permissive SELinux.
Have tried connecting my Note4 to my Pioneer 6000NEX. I do get a connected screen on my phone, but a blank screen on the deck itself. I hope they fix this soon. Appradio with the MHL connector works perfectly tho, BTW.
Pioneer no plans to update flash on current radios
I spoke with Pioneer today as my 4600BH is not working with mirrorlink and Note 4.
Pioneer rep told me they have no plans to update the current flash's of their radios as they run MirrorLink v1.0 and if I want MirrorLink to work to "Go out and buy a 2015 model"
Ya.... that is what they told me...... best customer service I have ever had....
Also MirrorLink (CCC) told me that they create the MirrorLink driver and that is all, the driver is sold to Samsung, Pioneer etc.... and the contract they sign places responsability of supporting the MirrorLink with their software on the hands of the company, not MirrorLink........

Mirror link does NOT work... Currently have a note 4 with a Pioneer 2015 deck Avh-x5700bhs
... The phone says connected but the head unit screen stays black... Pioneer offered no resolution and neither did Samsung
Avh-x5700bhs and mirrorlink
According to a review on Amazon... Mirrorlink is supposedly working now after Note 4 lollipop update... I however think it's bull, it was posted over a month ago and I don't think the note 4 revieved Android 5.0 on any carrier at the time.. Anyone confirm this??

From what I'd heard, it's only the Note 4 that was having a problem. Other MirrorLink 1.1 Android Phones had no issues. No need to jump on the iPhone sheep wagon.
Hmmmn.... Samsung is for ever pissing me off... Never owned an iPhone and probably never will but everytime I try and leave Samsung they come out with something I want... The Note 5 for instance is rumored to be redesigned and incredible..

...and probably without a MicroSD slot.
Yeah, but if they offer 128gb of internal memory...im good with that or even an 80gb version... On board memory will make for a better experience anyway..micro sd cards are great but (for me)they're not needed. I have a class 10 64gb card in my device and I've never filled it up. I'll torrent movies straight to my device but, I don't keep them, once I watch them, I delete them. + my car deck reads jump drives so I keep my music on a jump drive and it's bad ass... So for me, I'll be good...
Disappointed...

I have the Note 4 with Lolipop 5.0.1 and a Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS head unit with the latest firmware from Pioneer (8.29) and mirror link will connect the phone to the deck, but the only app available is AppRadioLive, which in my opinion is totally useless.
Mine doesn't work with note 4. Specifically a '14 civic si. Curious to know if anybody else's factory head unit or aftermarket stopped sending metadata once you got note4. It works fine with my HTC m8 but I'd rather not resort to carrying both to have metadata. BTW, this is important thread. There are a couple or thread on code.google.com about avrcp and metadata not working right on a few phones since 4.4.
Same here. 2012 Mazda 3.
I had the issue with my LG G3 as well, but not my Oneplus.
Hopefully this is fixed with 5.0.

Not displaying in my '15 Optima, but at least it plays, better than my last car.
G3 is also common phone with this problem. There is a fix for Spotify in app store though. Still can't find a good thread about this issue if it's strictly android or OEM related or both.
Same
I don't have a solution, but I'll add in my experience...
2013 Mazda 3 with the bose system.
I had a Galaxy S3 and it worked perfectly with the car's controls and displaying album info on the dash.
I just upgraded to the Note 4 and the controls work, but I can't get album info anymore.
The S3 was up to date as much as I could get it- Android 4.4.4 with the latest music apps available. The Note 4 is also 4.4.4. The default music app does look a bit different, but I also tried Google Play Music. I played with as many settings as I could with no luck. It just doesn't display the song it's playing.
Supposedly this is because the Note 4 is using AVRCP 1.4 while the head unit is 1.3?
You have to send e mails and call and contact anyway possible. The factory units don't get updated unless the factory leans on the radio builder to make a software update. Phones get upgraded and so should radio to support the latest phones.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Everything works for me. 2013 Toyota Tundra. Get song and album info. Spotify works as well. Worked on my Note 3 before and works the same now with the Note 4.

I'm having the same issue with my 2012 Mazdaspeed 3, my Note 3 worked fine, Now I have the Note 4 I get no song or album info.
Yeah sucks. Using my my HTC m8 still as that is my main mode of music anyways. Still would rather my note4 work correctly instead of forgetting my m8 occasionally. Still can't find out if this is Samsung's fault or both Samsung and Honda.
I'll add to this and bump. 2014 Dodge Ram. No meta data on Uconnect head unit. My note 3 on my Verizon line displays just fine. It's definitely note 4 or latest android specific.
Has anyone heard anything further about a possible fix for this?
Nope.

I too have a 14 Si, is yours a coupe or sedan? Also, I just jumped to the Note from a G3 and it worked prior to that. Could it be dependant on Android Version? I can't remember exactly but I want to say the G3 had 4.4.2
Coupe. DBP. m8 is on the 4.4.3/4 version. Was gonna convert to gpe again but HTC dropped the ball twice this week. I am guessing it's on Samsung side now. Everything call related has been very inconsistent and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Anyone able to get Metadata to display in their vehicles? My old HTC One M8 worked fine. GS6 Active does not display any Metadata from any music player I've tried. (Pandora and Poweramp.) My vehicle is a Honda Civic 2014.
I have a 2014 Ford Focus and it works fine, however sometimes it doesn't update... It's weird. I use Spotify though.

I love Hondas, this is the first American I've owned in about a decade and a half ?
When it initially paired, does it ask if you want to make primary phone and synchronize? Something similar? Ford uses 'SYNC' and it shows everything, plus reads out my messages. Proprietary Microsoft stuff I guess.
I'm sure it can be done. I'd Google it and start reading the Honda forums. That's how I fixed all my Honda stuff.

I haven't tried phone calls. Pandora works on the Pandora app preinstalled on my Honda, but everything else over Bluetooth doesn't show anything. Everything plays over Bluetooth, just missing the metadata. My vehicle is a Civic 2014 so it's not horribly out dated. Just wondering if others have the same issue. Looks like it's gotta be my car since others are not having issues.

I'm running Pure Nexus ROM on my Nexus 6, and the bluetooth radio seems very weak. Compared to my LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S3, I get crackles on my bluetooth headset, and have to use it in the ear that is closest to the pocket I keep my Nexus in. The other phones work fine. I don't even have a case on my Nexus. This is beginning to be a deal killer for using the Nexus, as I spend lots of time on my bluetooth headset (A Plantronics Voyager Edge).
Is there any fix for this? Could I flash a different radio/modem and fix it? Or did I just get a bad Nexus, and I'll need to sell it, or get it fixed?
Help much appreciated.

I do not have that issue and those who run a custom rom do not either nor have reported. You did not give details about your phone or setup so I would first advise try to reflash the radio or a newer radio see if BT is better.

I don't think you have much to lose to experiment. Try different radio downgrading and or doing a full wipe and go full stock see if issue exist if you are on a custom rom. Just make needed backups to restore later.
