[Q] Sending contacts to car stereo in ICS

Back in the previous version of android, I could send all my contacts over to my car stereo system via bluetooth, sending some sort of single file or something. That option seems to have disappeared in ICS. Is there some way to send them all at once? I'm at a loss other than downgrading and then sending them and upgrading back to ICS.

[Q] Bluetooth connection time on 4.2.2

Anyone else experience bluetooth connectivity issues on the new 4.2.2 firmware?
My car and BT headphones now take a lot longer to connect and disconnect to the phone compared to previous firmware.
In fact, the first time (after the update) i needed to manually connect to each deivce, almost like I had to remind the phone it was paired with them.
In comparison, my Nexus devices connect almost immediately on 4.2.2

Can anyone who is on 4.2.2 help test this?
Help confirm whether it is just me experiencing this or not. Thanks.

I have the same problem with my Mercedes BT System.
I connect my phone and lost my connection in 3-4min. After 10sec its connected again.
So my temporary work around was this:
1) Disconnect the Phone with my car
2) Clear Connetcion
3) Start new search and conntect the phone to BT
4) Didn´t allow the Mercedes BT to use my sms, contacts and so on.
With this it´s working if the BT System didn´t check my sms and contacts. But erverytime when I switch of the connection or car, I have to disallowed the BT System to check sms and contacts --- so this is only temporare and I hope for a better solution!
(Sry for my writen english - its bad )

My Bluetooth devices connected very quickly.

And no problems with sms and contact request?
Do you made a fullwipe?

My BMW simply won't pair with my XZ since updating to 4.2.2 - was working fine before on 4.1.2, but when I try to pair now, they recognise eachother, and I enter a code on the car to be verified on the phone, but after I enter the code on the phone, it all just freezes. The car sits there saying "Pairing...", but the phone thinks it's all been successful.

I have a bose audio system in my car, my XPERIA Z running PAC Rom - will pair, no audio or phone book exchange, My Dads Xperia z Works fine with stock rom. there is some issue I think with 4.2.2 maybe? I tried the Audio v19 and bluwtooth fix. NO LUCK!

Yes.. Having the same problem as well with Volvo's sensus multimedia system. It used to work fine.. Now it takes multiple tries to get it to connect since 4.2.2

I have the same problem.

I am having the same problem with the sbh25.
When i turn on the headphones my phone registers the pairing but no sound will be on. I have to manually turn the phone to speaker output then back to headphones for the music to stream through the bluetooth headset. This works first time 9/10 times. The other time i have to repeat the output step a couple of times for the music to be heard.

I had a couple of issues too with the latest 4.2.2. on my Kenwood system in the car.

This is terrible, clearly Sony did not thoroughly test the BT stack in this latest firmware.
I can honestly say, BT was pretty much working perfectly on 4.1.2 firmware. I may have to consider downgrading.
Thanks for everyones confirmation.

Bbm Voice and Zello microphone problem

Both apps have issues with microphone. Bbm voice and Zello's microphone functions over the receiver audio speaker(earpiece) instead of the phone's default located beneath. Did some test only to find that the problem exist in my Sony xperia z ultra. Tried other apps like Skype and phone calling did not appear to have the microphone problem and it worked accordingly from its default microphone (which is beneath the handset) Any thoughts on this? I am running 4.4.2 Build: 14.3.A.0.757.

[Q] Can i have multiple active bluetooth connections?

I think i can have my bluetooth headset connected at the same time with my Smartwatch2 but is it possible to have a keyboard and mouse too?

Bluetooth on the z1 has been totally Crap on anything other than 4.2.2.......

Such a sweeping statement.
I, for one, have had no issues on any firmware with bluetooth

Hi Greg,
Well, when I first got my z1 it was on 4.2.2 and it connected to my car audio system and downloaded the phone book, call logs and I could use the handshake with no problems.. After this (on 290 and 136) it would not work at all. It would pair but I couldn't use handsfree and the call logs and phone book would not download... It got very slightly better on 4.4.2 in that the handsfree and call logs work but not the phonebook... I have tried my car audio with a s3 running 4.3 and a HTC m8 running kitkat and they work with no problems at all.. Handsfree, call lists and phonebook work perfectly... In the Sony website there are hundreds of people that have various issues with bluetooth on the z1....

Connection problem with car handsfree system

Hi all
I encountered "No signal" issue in my car handsfree system (I tried 2 different cars still the same) . I can pair and connect without any issue , I can even receive call or make call without any issue . The problem the handsfree system will always show "No Signal" but in fact my mobile phone signal is full . This issue made me fail to make call via the car handfree system, anyone encounter the same?

Yes. I have exactly the same issue on my brand new Volvo S90. It very occasionally says there is signal but most of the time reads "Emergency Call only". It all works though... I can always make and receive calls.

I do some more research just now and saw you and me is not alone , more and more user report the issue , hope Samsung can fix it ASAP. Although I can make and receive call without issue only if I want to make a call via the voice command then the car system will told "No Connection"

Hi Guys
I am having the same issue. I have a Renault kadjar and the Note 9 keeps saying the phone has no signal, when the phone is showing a number bars. I have tried disconnecting the Bluetooth on the car and disconnecting the Bluetooth on the phone and neither will re-establish a connection. The only thing that works is restarting the phone. That will force the car to connect to the phone.
It's a pain. I never had a problem with my S8 plus or my wifes Note 8.

Not just me then. Same issue with my 2012 Focus and the wifes 2014 Renault Captur. Phone connects fine, I can play media and answer calls but signal bar on the car display is zero so I cannot initiate a call from the car (only from the phone).

Hello,
I've the same problem with the same solution: turn off and ON the phone.
Anyone have a FINAL solution ?
Thank You

It is always a good idea to reboot your mobile device every once in a while as it will clear any data in the RAM that may cause issues.
