Try different kernels. I've found that even though I continue to use the same build (ShubCRAFT 1.5), when I swap kernels I get differing results with the BT headset.
Media Audio tends to work whatever, I've had no problems with that, but phone audio is a different matter.
I've been using michyprima's r11 kernel lately (noAXI) and that seems to just about work but I do have to make a call and press the Bluetooth button immediately initially to get it to work.
Even then, it's flaky, as when the phone rings and I press the answer button on my BT headset, it brings up the Voice Dialer dialog over the top of the phone app and doesn't answer the call. I've resorted to only connecting BT to media and not using it for the phone.
I appreciate that doesn't solve your problems - I've simply decided to try each and every kernel until it's fixed! I'm sure the wonderful devs here will get round to fixing it soon but I think they've probably got other things higher up on the priority list right now!
I'm using a Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset btw.

hello sorry for my English
my jabra bt hyperdroid on 1.2 works, but sometimes there is more sound for the march to re-I does not restart it by pressing the restart button, but I removed the battery!
For me works like that
success

I forgot to tell you that I deactivated the sound of media

Bt issue on mt3g/stock 2.2

Having some bt issues, and was wondering if anyone has a bt mod that ups the power to the xmitr.
Have a bt3030 headset that I love, but since the update, it will randomly loose connection for media only, and I'm trying to figure a fix.
If you think that I'm going the wrong direction, ideas welcome.

Been up for a month, 150+ views, and no one has any ideas?

don't doubt us were good people at xda well if its the rom that's making your Bluetooth head set not work i suggest rooting i know you cant tell if its the phone or the headset so go ahead and put a rom on it if that dosent fix it unroot the device than or downgrade back to 1.6 and than unroot good luck bro if all else fails try to send your headset back

[Q] JVP 2.3.4 Bluetooth audio hangs

Continuing JVP build issues:
I am heavily using bluetooth hands free in my car. With JVP build after a couple of phone calls over bluetooth, the bluetooth just hangs. The icon shows device connected even when no bluetooth device is around. In any case it will not use the bluetooth handset. Turning bluetooth on off will not solve the problem, only rebooting the phone.
Anybody else has this problem?

Same here

I had this issue with jvo-jvp

Try to stop the pairing and pair it again. Works here, better than restart the phone...

Same here... Unpairing and pairing again did not work, even with bt device off. Had to reboot every time. Went back to froyo because of this.

Are you all on stock Kernel ?

I was on cf-root 3.7 with all tweaks disabled. But others have reported the same thing on stock.

same here...
cf root 3.7 also...

Yep getting the same in my car :/
Not too disappointed because i know it's pre-release firmware.
Hoping that it would be fixed in the final release.

Another reason to post such problems here, since we all know Samsung devs are reading this

Can anybody with this problem confirm that it remains even with stock.kernel?

Bluetooth not working on Stock rooted Gingerbread

On stock rooted Gingerbread ROM, I am not able to connect to any of my devices via Bluetooth. It turns on OK and it says it is scanning, but it will not connect to any of my bluetooth devices. It worked on Froyo before. Rebooted phone and still the same issue. Short of doing a full wipe and reinstall, anyone else have any suggestions on how to fix it?

i had the same issue before wiyh ny bt headset...after switching to a diff rom, my headset wouldnt even show in the scanned devices...turns out i had to re "pair" the headset by deleting what it had stored before...i've had to do this everytime i switch roms...hope this helps...

How do you do this delete on a headset? I'll give it a shot. Otherwise everything else on stock GB works great.

on the headset, i just had to reset it to factory setting, as if u are pairing it for the first time...on my headset, i had to hold down power button for about 10 secs until i had a blinking light...but diff brand might have a diff way of resetting...what devices are u trying to connect?

a Motorola Bluetooth hands free headset

As the post above said, need to put the headset/device in pair mode.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Still wouldn't pair with my bluetooth.
Just to make sure my bluetooth headset was not broken, I was able to pair it with my HP Touchpad (it was never paired on my Touchpad before and it paired and connected just fine right away).
I then Odined EC05 stock rom and tried to pair while in EC05, no go either.
It did the autoupdate to EI22 and tried again to pair and no go again either.
I'm thinking the Bluetooth hardware may be broken? Take it to a Sprint Tech Store and have them check it out? Since my phone is now completely stock and unrooted, maybe I should hit the Sprint Tech store and have them check it out.

Sounds like a good idea, they should have some headsets laying around they can try to pair it to.

Went to the Sprint store this afternoon. Techs looked at it and they determined the radio is bad. They gave me a new Epic. Now it's off to puting back CWM and restoring my nandroid backup.
On a side note, while waiting, the store must have sold at least 8 iPhone 4S's during my wait, while I did not see any non iPhone sold during that timeframe. I pity those people.

[Q] Hands free bluetooth issues (Merc B Class)

Hi all
Sorry if there is another thread with this already but I am at the end of my tether!
I have a Galaxy S4 with Android 4.2.2 and am having problems when paired to my Merc B200 with Audio 20.
I believe this may be a common problem but I just need confirmation from someone in the know.
ISSUE:
I can pair with the head unit no problems, but when I make and receive calls, there is no audio. Apparently the other end can hear me, but I am unable to hear them.
Audio is on max, both on the phone and the audio 20.
Any ideas? Is this a software issue?
I did contact Samsung, who obviously told me that this was down to the car manufacturer and MB told me to buy an older phone (great advice!).
My wifes Iphone 5 works flawlessly, as did my Iphone 4s.
MB seem to be under the impression that a car firmware update will no resolve the problem and basically I am scuppered. Surely bluetooth should be backwards compatible!!!
Cheers
Andy

I got a blackberry to work with a mb car kit a while ago, not sure of the symptoms the user was seeing but he was pairing from the phone to the kit. I tried pairing the phone from the car kit and it then started to work flawlessly.

might be a similar issue
Not sure if it's the same thing but I'm at a loss as to what to do. I bought the Jaybird SB2 bluetooth headset. I've read elsewhere others have had issues connecting to Mac's (I have the same connection problem with my Macs) but they worked fine with my old Galaxy S2 (when it had pre-jelly bean rom). As soon as I upgraded the sounds cuts out after a couple of minutes although the player says the music is playing. I can get it to work again for another couple of minutes by disconnecting then reconnecting the bluetooth. I then flashed a custom JB rom (supernexus I think) on the old S2 and everything worked perfectly. I've just got my stock S4 and the same problem with the bluetooth keeps happening.
I can only think it's a software problem since the headphones work perfectly with my Nexus 7 and my old S2 with this custom rom but I can't find anything online elsewhere recording the problem. Not really sure where to turn for help since I doubt Samsung will care.

Unsure if 100% related, but I've had some issues with BT on my Subaru Outback ('13).
When I am (simultaneously):
1) Charging
2) Connected to my car stereo via Bluetooth
3) Playing music (using default GS4 music widget)
4) Navigating w/ Google Navigation
The Google Navigation voice cuts out half way through giving the direction.
"In 250 feet, turn right onto" ... ... ... ... nothing
It's really horrible, especially because this is the PRIMARY use for my phone (car audio & nav).
Update:
Winamp doesn't interrupt nav, but I lose BT controls on steering wheel.
AVia doesn't either and keeps BT control functionality.
All music players I've tried, however, just seem to crash at random...
They either stop altogether or think the music is still playing but no audio is on.
All of this is resolved by using Aux instead of BT.
This is what leads me to believe it is BT related.
Anyone with experience or help here, that'd be awesome...

I've had a breakthrough with mine
I installed an app called 'Soundabout' from the playstore that reroutes any audio to a BT device, this did the trick, I now have audio both when making and receiving calls.
It also works for a2dp streaming issues.
The odd thing is though, I deleted the app afterwards just on the off chance that it fixed anything in the background.... And it did! My BT audio is now working seamlessly without the app!
I am currently running a flashed stock rom (XXUAME2).
Hope this helps others

Hi,
I have the same issue.
I have just got my new Galaxy S4, everything is working fine except the Bluetooth. I am having trouble to use the Bluetooth on my 2011 Toyota Car corolla. I am able to connect to the Bluetooth, and play music but problem with starting to make a call. when I say "starting to make a call" means I can make a call, but the receiver can't hear me and I can't hear them neither. I was able to answer the call or hang up, everything is working fine except no voice come out from the speakers.
The funny is it will work if I use Apps to make a call, such as Skype, viber.
I can't find any solution so far.

Do you have 'Soundabout' in your app store? Solved my problems.

May I ask your setting on your Soundabout?

4ndynic you're a legend! My wife got an S4 and it didn't want to work properly with our Mercedes with the native bluetooth. I installed Soundabout (non Pro version), went into Bluetooth Behavior, turned on (Dynamic) Media Audio Usage, and now it works perfectly!! I especially love the fact that the alerts for SMS etc still come through the phone.

It appears that the setting may revert if you turn bluetooth off and back on again. After doing that, I had to go back into soundabout and untick then retick that box. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? It certainly appears to be a default setting in the operating system causing the issue, which means it may be possible to fix with a patch, and Samsung should certainly be able to fix it in a future update.

Will do some testing and let you know, I deleted the app and it carried on working until I rebooted so kind of the same thing! Defo something that could be fixed with an update, just need Samsung to listen! If only I knew a little more about Android development!

I thought Mercedes would contact the SoundAbout email address about getting that to work, but alas....I've gotten no email yet.

it might be your rom version, tried it here with 4.2 and 4.3 and works without any issues and no need to install additional software.
