Does anyone else have a problem with their Bluetooth and HTC touch? I have tried 2 motorola and a LG BT headset and no one can hear me, but I can hear them. I tried pairing and repairing. I deleted it and added it as a new device. I have even tried the BT with another phone and it works with that phone with no problems, so I know it's my phone. I even tried a hard reset. Does anyone have a solutoin to this problem? I have the latest ROM update from HTC's website for a Bell HTC touch. My motorola headset was working fine, but I think after the latest Bell ROM update it stopped. Does anyone else have this problem or can anyone suggest a solution? thanks. paul.
my jawbone did this but my plantanics 510 fine
My jawbone works fine but there's a problem using hands free connection with my '05 range rover. The phone and the truck connect but then the connection is dropped. My buddy has a motorola razor and his phone works great w/my truck. It appears to be my phone that's the problem. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks so much.

This thread is 7 months old...
What ROM are you running?
I am running the NFSFAN 6.5 rom V11 and have he same issue with a motorola BT headset.
edit: i just noticed that the initial question was about a newer ROM update and bluetooth, but ill leave my initial reply here, cuz i often look for solution in old posts, so if this can help anybody :
NFSFAN 6.5 rom V11 and bluetooth
i dunno, but my bluetooth stuff somehow works with the 6.1 update, if you cant find any working solution within an hour, id suggest using a "well tried and tested" ROM version, like the 6.1
i stopped picking the "latest and greatest" in cars, devices, apps, or O.S. for the last two years, and been living a whole lot happier since.
about my 6.1 bell mobility ROM and bluetooth :
i like to tweak my weapons alot, my htc touch has a 6.1 ROM update, and i use bluetooth everyday, and it KINDA works well, enough for me anyway...
listening to mp3 and flv everyday on the transit,
then switching at work on the audio dongle adaptor on the pc,
using an pair of sonorix bsh-100 ( foldable stereo headset + optional plug-in mike)
to me the thruth is that bluetooth is a ****ty technology, i love it, and it's well taught,
but the developpers quickly code ****ty interfaces to it.
my settings all work from htc touch to dongle, but i often have to connect the touch to the headset like up to 3 times, where it tells me its connected, but isnt, when i hear the beep, it means it actually IS.
same at work, connect sometimes once, twice, even four, it eventually connects.
it's isnt button wear off or bad contact, its just the code is ****.
i rented a SUV that had bluetooth, tried connecting my phone, worked first time, a week later we rented the same SUV model, and for the whole trip i wasnt able to connect at all... back at the rental we tested the SUV with the clerck htc touch ( nice coincidence ) it worked right away.
i want to add here that whenever i try to connect through bluetooth, it usually works the first time.
my point is, bluetooth creators did a fine innovative job, but werent supported by developpers.
test your bluetooth phone alot with friends owning bluetooth accessories, youll detect behaviors after a while, and will learn to know its "demons" !

V13 seemed to fix the issue
Just upgraded to V13, seems like BT works a lot better.
A bit on my history with BY, I just upgraded from a motorola V710, had a Moto Q for a few months too. Never had any issues with BT using the same Motorola BT earpiece, and varouis others through the last 5 years or so. Always worked like a champ, this was my first experience with BT issues.
I have a Bluetooth bug and not just a compatibility issue with my car radio and the N4's BT 3.0/4.0 firmware. I confirm it is not an issue with my car's headunit (Porsche CDR30 w/sound package plus) since the problem is the same with my Note on CM10 but the Note works fine when flashed using pre-CM10 ROM. My symptom is that all pairing completes and contacts export to car and import to car address book. Calls can only be made using phone though. Car does use speakers and mic supporting call but that's it. Handset must be used as dial pad and accept/end/hold/swap calls. I have two other older phones with pre JB OS and younger BT versions working with car no problems.
If you have any N4 BT/car issues, please post.
Hi there.
Parrot mki 9200 here and N4 working good here for contact sync, calls and A2DP. Having trouble with parrot 2.11 update, but that's non phone specific.

I have an audio-dropping issue with my 06 BMW 330i, factory head unit.
I have a normal conversation for 5 minutes or so, then their audio goes away. They can hear me fine, but I cannot hear them.
I'm interested in a solution as my Nexus S worked perfectly before the Nexus 4.

Interesting that my issue is associated with my Nexus 4. The bug is on JB stock 4.2, 4.2.1 stock, Modaco custom Jr1 and Jr2, as well as the CM nightlies I am now flashing and using on my phone. I am getting service Saturday and asking Porsche dealer service tech to update the CDR30 firmware to eliminate head unit as problem.
Strangely enough, my N4 BT worked fine for the last two conversations yesterday, 10 and 25 minutes, respectively, and worked fine for a 25 minute convo this morning. I'm definitely waiting on it to drop again. Post an update once your dealer updates the SW and you have a chance to test.

Will do
My issue is likely related to my car's head unit Bluetooth radio firmware. Service tech unable to get his ICS Droid to fully interface with car's hands free functions. So it seems........

OK, the plot thickens I guess. BMW firmware is definitely sensitive to Bluetooth profiles also, but functionality seems to be there so I'll hope for the best in regards to call stability. Good luck and keep us updated.

My phone connected via bluetooth to my car no problems until yesterday. All of a sudden it stopped working, i noticed no other changes, so i proceeded to try to pair both from my phone end and the car, still wasnt working so i unpaired and removed the device from my car and phone and tried to repair, the car (2012 sonata) tells me to pair from the phone, and on the phone it cannot find the bluetooth of the car.
I was freaking out and thought it was the car, but i tried my tablet and laptop, andboth are able to pick them up, ive tried turning bluetooth on/off and restarting the entire phone,
Has anyone else experienced their bluetooth going out on the s5 yet?
and what do you think would help? factory reset, or manufacturers return for hardware error?

Have you tried pairing your phone with other devices than car? At least, it will confirm that your phone Bluetooth is working fine.

then take it to the store after trying factory resetting.
I've been experiencing some issues with my bluetooth in cars and with wireless headsets. it has annoyed me enough to search the forums today.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with MS530 wireless headset.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with 2011 Volvo S60 T6.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with Aftermarket Sony deck in my truck (don't have the model handy).
Built in player sometimes has the same issues, I see more issues when the phone is locked. Fingerprint scanner on.
Today bluetooth locked up totally and had to reboot the device. I did not power down my headset before I left range of my phone and came back and it would not re-connect. I unpaired and attempted to repair and it would not. rebooted powered everything off and repaired and it started working again.
Bluetooth has issues on the S5 phones in my opinion. My iphone 5 has no issues at all with everything. locked or not. Was thinking of rooting to see if I could fix some of these issues as I prefer Android as I like the apps better and the openness to get stuff done.

No, it's not a S5 issue, it's an Android issue and it's been continuous since the beginning. These problems have happened with my previous 3 phones too, so don't delude yourself into thinking these are specific to this phone. Or that they will be fixed for that matter...

I disagree.
Bluetooth has worked on all the android models I've had in the past.
Past Android phones:
HTC Hero - worked great, slow though
HTC EVO - worked great
LG Nexus 4 - worked great
Motorola Zoom - worked great
Samsung Moment - Slow but worked
Samsung Epic - worked great
Samsung S3 - worked great
But if you want to blame the OS go for it. I think your alone there. Its a software issue with Samsung crap in my opinion vs security and all the bells and whistles they are trying to use. I think Android has nothing to do with the issue at all.
I have a moto headset with my s5 and no problems. Had no problems with same one on my s4 either so I wouldn't blame all the phones. It's electronics. Things can go won key when you have a lot of parts. It's probably just that. It happens. Even on iPhone's.

I have problems too. Very odd tho. I can pair my phone and listen to my music just fine. However if I try to use my gps while the BT is connected, no audio will cone from the phone or the BT radio. But as soon as I turn off thr BT on my phone, I can hear my gps through my phone just fine.
I haven't done a factory reset yet, but I have cleared thr phone from my car and re-paired.....still nothing.
The even stranger thing....every one in a while it will work, 9 times out of 10 it won't work. It has worked 2 times since I bought the phone, April 25th.
Never had a problem like this before, with other phones.
meh

As I reply to this one person said they have no problems, one said they have problems. I have had the same issues with syncing and playback on my 2 previous phones, neither of them the S5. There are idiosyncrasies that exist in the software (like any software ever) that just don't work sometimes. I don't know why we should think this phone would be any different.
For those anxious to get 4.4.4 you might try liquidsmooth which now incorporates it and runs on most if not all moto-x's. It's been upgraded to 4.4.4. Unfortunately, bluetooth is still not working correctly for me and if I try to pair the phone with my car, the car's system goes into a slow endless loop where the phone is connected and then disconnected. I am going to try to see if there is some way to get the phone working with my car....it's very frustrating because the moto-x has never connected correctly (galaxy nexus was flawless in this regard).
I am guessing that it isn't built on the 444 kernel, so, don't get too discouraged yet

What year make and model do you have? I have a 2011 Ford Edge and 2011 Ford Fusion, both of which use Ford Sync (Suck), and I have no issues with either.
Also, are you stock, or running a custom ROM? You seem to be running a custom ROM, and in that case, all bets are off.

It is 4.4.4 kernel. I think I've found the issue and it's unique to "techies". I have a pebble smart watch which uses google...the connection to the car system (2014 MB) uses bluetooth. If I don't wear my watch, the connection to the car works...no loops/etc. When I wear the watch in the car, the car/phone link goes all screwy. I suspect that one of the bluetooth stacks doesn't like to share....and I'd bet it's the moto-x stack which can either use the bluetooth or the car link, but not manage both together, even though everything is paired correctly. I haven't checked to see if pebble and the MB use the same protocols...it may be that they both share txt even though I only need phone on the car link.
I'll post more when I get further into this....I just stumbled on the cause today when I didn't wear the watch and repaired the phone with the 4.4.4 kernel.

I've heard them all, but we've had precisely zero issues with the Fusion, and one with the Edge that was fixed free of charge due to silent recall.
My only issue with Sync is that my Fusion has the Gen 1 version, and the most recent software update removed the key reason I chose this car over the then comparable Sonata. Without that feature, I would have gone with the Sonata.
I *REALLY* don't want to buy a different phone, but.... I recently swapped out the headunit in my truck from a Clarion to a Kenwood due to phone audio problems with the Clarion. So now the phone over BT with the Kenwood works great but the audio over BT is skipping and breaking up. Seen lots of posts about this being a problem, but no solutions. Sometimes rebooting the phone helps, but not usually. Sometimes forcing Bluetooth Share to close will help, but not usually. I've deleted and re-paired the devices.
I am currently running the stock 6.0 ROM, build 24.49-18, only rooted. The phone says it's up to date.
On to my point... do any of the alternate ROM's seem to have the BT audio issues worked out??

Answering my own question.....
I ended up trying another ROM, AICP for clark, and so far AVRCP is working fine, it has connected/disconnected several times and has always come back quickly and without any skipping/stuttering. I haven't tried the phone over BT yet. And it's a pretty good ROM beyond that!!!

I was wrong, after a couple of days AICP started doing the same thing. Replaced XT1575 with an HTC 10, I wish the screen was larger but it's a really nice phone!!! And no Bluetooth troubles.
My phone is connected to my car radio any time I'm in the car, and not having this issue. I'm still on 5.1.1 stock but rooted. Headunit is a Alpine CDE-W235BT. I've had it hooked up 5+ hours at a time. No issues with media or phone calls.
Yeah, it works for some but not for others... I think it's more headunit dependent... my Clarion was OK for music but the phone was jacked up. Reverse with my Kenwood, phone OK but audio jacked. Either way, it had to go.....
Factory rom is the only one I can get to work properly with BT in my Mercedes
I haven't tried it on the Moto X Pure, but on the 2nd gen Moto X, Cyanogenmod had infinitely better bluetooth strength than the stock rom, or any other rom I tried. I'm not saying it's the same for the Pure, because they're probably maintained by different people, but worth looking into at least.
Bluetooth usually connects between my Moto X Pure and Mazda3, but there is a 35% chance that when I turn on my car the audio will connect in this really strange manner where tracks skip and the audio sounds horrific. The only solution is to disconnect and reconnect again, which takes another 30 seconds.
Every ROM I have tried on Moto X Pure has had this problem:
Stock, CM13, AICP
It's gotten so annoying that I've decided I am going to sell my Moto X Pure and revert to my Galaxy S4. Never have ANY problems with my old Galaxy.
