I use Bluetooth in my car to make calls, the phone pairs OK with the car, and I can make and receive calls. However, my contacts don't sync, it just shows on my cars screen "Loading Phonebook" and sits there.
I get the message on my phone that my car wants to access my contacts and I select ok , but it repeats the message over and over. So I check "don't ask everytime" and click ok , but nothing happens and I just have the screen show "Loading Phonebook" on the car. I've let it sit for over an hour and reset my phone and every time it's the same problem.
With my Galaxy Nexus on 4.2 it syncs my contacts instantly, no problem.
Anyone face a similar problem with Bluetooth?

Here is the logcat when the phone is connected to the car. Seems like logcat goes crazy displaying the same message over and over again. No wonder my battery drained so fast when paired to my car.

For what it's worth, my Nexus 4 pairs, and syncs it's contacts with my Parrot MKI9200.
BUT, it didn't work the first time I tried to pair them, I'd get continual requests for a connection. Once I'd unpaired and tried again everything was fine.

I constantly get the request to access my contacts, that's my problem. I tried unpairing and repairing, and also did a factory reset, but it doesn't solve the problem.

This is a long shot but has worked for me before on older devices with similar issues.
1. Remove the pairing
2. Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp
3. Pair through the app.
If it works you should no longer need the app to use the pair.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. I want to figure out if it's only my nexus 4 is having this problem or others..
If anyone is willing to come and test their nexus 4 that would be great. I live in Torrance, CA and I'll buy you lunch, and you get to test drive my M3 for an incentive.

No problem - thought it was a long shot. FWIW my N4 syncs beautifully with my Ibiza FR so it maybe a BMW kit specific issue?

Probably not. Ironically my GN was a total nightmare with my car kit.
Anyways - hope you get it sorted.
I've got the similar problem with my Parrot MKi9200; when I try to pair the phone with the parrot, the parrot stuck, does not respond well to the control and I have to turn off the car and back on to recover
Which device instigates the pair?
I've gone away and had a mess about.
My Nexus 4 as it turns out hates the pair being requested. It only behaves if its initiated the initial pair request.

Same problem with my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1, in a 2007 BMW 530i. I have revised my contact lists, stopped syncing accounts, deleted call logging app, etc. None solve the problem. Before update to 4.2, no Bluetooth connectivity or contacts issues had manifested.
Oddly, my contacts have randomly appeared a few times, but they disappear within minutes. I even went so far as to delete the one contact that would always come up (mine had last name starting with "F" and first name starting with "H"), and now I get a different contact ("G", "T").
Any changes for you recently?

The only solution now requires root. Extract the Bluetooth apk from cyanogenmod ROM and copy it into your system/app directory and reboot. Make sure Bluetooth is off when you do this.
Here's the apk rename it Bluetooth.apk, http://www.mediafire.com/?nomkkcdpucjaxwr
A fix has been submitted to aosp, it's waiting approval. Hopefully in android 4.3 it'll be fixed.

Hey guys,
First time posting in XDA, sorry if the question was already asked.
I bought the Nexus 4, still waiting for it to ship, but I am interested in buying the official bumper as well. My question is will the Android beam work with the bumper on? Or the phones don't have to touch each other for it to work.
Thanks

I don't have a bumper, but I have a black I-Blason TPU case that covers the whole back. The NFC and Android beam works perfectly. I tried it with another Nexus 4. I don't see it being a problem with the bumper since the bumper doesn't cover the back at all.
It works on my wife and I's phones with bumpers.

Watch the phones and look for a bluetooth pairing request. Whenever I beam photos it wants to establish a bluetooth connection first.

Nope it didnt ask for bluetooth pairing request. Besides that I also have some bluetooth problem with my device.. It doesnt turn bluetooth on most of the times. when I tap on the soft button it immediately turns off again!!! do you think it might cause ?

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.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk (how ironic is that eh)
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.

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.

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.
I am subscribed to a few Google group conversations about Bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4 and reading each complaint prompted me to ask. Does anybody out there with a Nexus 4 NOT have an issue with Bluetooth?
I am on my 2nd replacement Nexus from Google Play device support and a third is on the way. If this third device doesn't work, then I either can opt for a refund or wait for Android 4.3 to hopefully fix it, if the problem is software salvageable. So I'm just curious if anybody's N4 actually has no issue with Bluetooth and in what manner do you use Bluetooth and with what devices?

I got my N4 in the first batch from play store back in November
I have never had any issue with Bluetooth
Granted I don't use it often (once every couple weeks on average) but each time I have its never failed in any way.
I have used in my car for hands free and also to send pics to my GF's phone and a couple times to transfer files from my laptop
Started out stock and then last few months been on custom ROM's with no change
Day 1 N4 here too - never had bt problems. Pairs with my car, Motorola headset, and Moga Pro just fine. Fiancée's stock unrooted N4 pairs with her car and jawbone speakers fine. Hoping 4.3 brings LE bt support for my fitbit flex, but besides that haven't had to do anything but turn on bt and pair.
What problems are you having? Haven't heard of people really having issues...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
To my knowledge from researching the problem myself people claim it's a hardware issue based on some of the responses they get back from google I guess? I knew right away it wasn't just me when someone else I know has a N4 as well and when I use my LG Tone with his while connected via WiFI it pulls a dubstep and drops.
Other than that it's the only issue I have with BT that I can replicate. Hands-free while connected via data works like it should.
No Bluetooth problem here.

Stock 4.2.2 doesn't work properly with my car (BMW E61 5-series). Basic phone works, but no contact sync due to bugs in the N4 bluetooth stack. Moved to CM10.1 which contains various fixes for this and it's worked perfectly since then.
Honest truth - if the first device didn't work and the second was the same, why on earth would you assume that this was a hardware problem and keep sending the phone back? Either request a refund, switch ROMs or put up with it!
Oh sure I guess I have heard people mention that... BT and both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi coexist just fine on both N4s here. I just wish it could take advantage of my ac router.

No Issues
Bought my N4 a month ago and I have used Bluetooth hands-free headset, transferred files from my old phone and from my netbook without any problems. Haven't tried stereo audio, though.
Got my N4 in the second batch of those available and have no issues pairing with my vehicle. I don't use Bluetooth for anything else, though
Bluetooth generally works, it only screws up from time to time for things like pairing with a new device. It's been more or less this way since JB and generally if you have a regular bluetooth setup of headset, in-car radio etc, it 9/10 works just fine.
Introduce some complications and it does wonk out sometimes. I've had plenty of times where it wouldn't want to pair right to my laptop or desktop after I factory reset my device. Sometimes it just won't get picked up either when BT is on, visible and another device is looking for it.
I believe I remember reading that there was a legit explanation for this regarding drivers and or some security thing but it's been long enough that I don't remember what the details were or where I even read it on XDA. May have even been the GN forums.
I've seen the exact problem indicated by the video on CM 10.1. I just restarted, wiped dalvik and all was well again.
Other than that my BT has been perfect. I use it daily in my car for audio streaming and phone. At home I pair it to my PC for audio streaming and it works perfectly.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I actually haven't run into many issues with Bluetooth. I use it mainly with Jawbones Jambox and it pairs up just fine. I think it may have dropped connection a couple times but less than a handful. I do run into problems when I miss a call from someone though. The audio quits playback though the devices remain paired.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I guess I have issues. I leave BT on all the time and only randomly does it automatically connect when I get in my car. I generally have to go in to the BT settings and click the device to pair with. It identifies the device, but doesn't connect automatically.
On stock 4.2.2, I had issues with BT not connecting at all and it would get stuck in an on/off post ion (it would never fully turn off or turn on when I toggled the switch). I would have to reboot to get it to work. I have yet to see this happen on cm10.1, I just have the automatic connect issue with cm10.1
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I usually have no issues pairing and using. But I definitely have these two issues:
1. BT won't turn on at all (like in the video).
2. I notice my phone hot and draining battery. I look at the BT indicator and it is blue indicating a connection but I'm not connected at all. I only use BT in the car and I'm nowhere near my car. Yet the indicator is blue and my phone is hot.
Either is resolved with a quick reboot. I'm not troubled by it but is annoying at times.
Anyone else experience issues connecting and starting connected on Bluetooth? I noticed that when i was at the gym my Bluetooth headphones have no issues. However when I connect to my car Bluetooth it takes forever to connect or just doesn't (keeps saying failed). When it connects it will promptly disconnect sometimes, usually when a notification comes in. The media and notifications are sporadic (sometimes it says enabled or sometimes they are disabled). On my Ford Sync system it doesn't technically say I'm connected to a Bluetooth. When the media works, it doesn't show the song or anything playing.
Don't tell me it's my vehicle because my HTC One M9 worked fine with Sense/Cyanogen ROMs and my work iPhone 6 and girlfriends iPhone 6S+ both work.

It's not the vehicle. I've connected like 6 different devices on it with no issues.
Happens to me sometimes on other samsung devices i just reboot the phone and repair the device. Happens once a week
Maybe your stereo doesn't like the Bluetooth chip in the s7 can you do firmware updates on your stereo I hope this isn't the case as I use Bluetooth in the car every day

It's probably not fully compatible with the new TW or Marshmallow.
I used to have an S5 with no issue. I've ran Lollipop and Marshmallow on my Ford Focus numerous times.
I think I found a solution, go to app manager -> click more (upper right) -> click reset app preferences. Didn't have any problem in last 2 days.

I used to have an S5 with no issue. I've ran Lollipop and Marshmallow on my Ford Focus numerous times.

What year is the Focus? We have two Escapes, a 2010 and a 2011. My S7 Edge has no problem with the 2011, but has issues with the 2010. My S4 had no problem with either and my wife's MotoX has no problem with either.
Can't seem to get the bluetooth for media - text messages and mp3 etc to stick. I've unpaired and repaired several times. When I do this it stays for the duration of the trip but when I shut the car off and come back and the phone connects via bluetooth again it doesn't work. I can use the bluetooth for everything else just fine just not media. Anyone else experiencing similar issues with bluetooth and their vehicles??
If so did you fix it and how?
Thanks,

Have you tried updating your sync. I have a 2013 f150 and mine works just fine with my s7 edge

Thought I did, but will double check....good to hear it works for you with Ford Sync! Hopefully that is the problem and will work for me too!!!
2013 Ford with SYNC (latest update) and it works with both S7 Edge phones that we have. If you look online, you can find ways to do a reboot on your SYNC system either via USB thumb-drive or by a power-cycle. I've had to do this in the past, but not since the recent updates. It may help.
If that doesn't do it, I'd probably try a factory reset on the SYNC system. It's available in the menu.
