Yeah it is for the phone option...I connected it to a N95 first could that be the reason?? is there a way to reset?

you got to just search in the bluetooth option in settings right??

Still got the problem..

I think the issue is due to the lack of knowledge on how to "pair" the headset with the phone.
@OP, you have to press the power button and hold it until you see two arrows circulating.. then you will be able to pair with the phone.
Try reading the manual for better understanding

Bluetooth Contacts Sync Problem

Please star this issue at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40198&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
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?

I don't know, my galaxy nexus on 4.2 synced perfectly with my car.
Never heard of Seat Ibiza cars, I guess they don't sell them in the US.

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.

The nexus 4 initiates the pairing request, as my car's Bluetooth kit can't initiate request, just receive them.

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.

Same here. I know both my speaker and keyboard worked when running CM 10.2. Will have to wait until some smart cookie figures it out.

Thanks for the reply, I'll turn on the logcat on the weekend and see if I see any Bluetooth 's activity.

I believe that the read me text mentions that Bluetooth is not working yet, but I can't find it now.

Haven't been able to get it to pair with my vizio either

I successfully paired Keychain GPS 2000 to CM11 3/27/14 nightly. Screen pics attached.

I have paired a Cambridge SoundWorks Oontz speaker. It took a while but finally connected. The range is quite small and best results are when the two devices are next to each other. You really cannot use the NC for anything else while the speaker is connected because of the resultant dropouts.

bluetooth problems?

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 probably your vehicle.

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.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! This is the first thing that worked. I traded in my phone, traded in my subaru bluetooth unit thingy and NOTHING worked until this. Such an easy fix! Wish everyone at samsung/verison/car dealers knew this!

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.

Verizon Wear24 Bluetooth issue on android wear2.0 :Microphone is not working on watch

Recently got this watch and Bluetooth was working fine in 1.5 version. the microphone on watch stopped working after android wear 2.0 update.
Looks like the software glitch. This watch discontinued by the Verizon. Is there a way to fix the issue through ADB or some other mean?

Does your microphone still work for Google Assistant?

yes the microphone still works for OK Google type stuff but it doesn't work as a bluetooth headset profile. You can hear them but they cannot hear you. Checked the log cat and it seems that there is a bluetooth stack issue.

Have you tried a factory reset?

yes and it does not make a difference

Hello,just bought a wear24 and after AW2.0 upgrade microphone Works For Voice To Text When Messaging But Not For Phone Calls Over Blueooth. Is There A setting For This Or Is It Aw2.0 Bug Or Wear24 Issue?
Also when I swipe down from the watch face to view the quick menu (eg. settings, airplane mode selection, etc.) at the bottom there are icons next to the battery level icon that indicate bluetooth is not connected (cloud with line through it) when indeed BT is connected. The watch face does indicat correctly when BT disconnects and connects. Is this typical with the Wear24? Another bug?

sounds like its a profile issue, based on other comments. No idea how to help, however.

I have the same problem. Microphone works with OK google or when I dictate a message but it doesn't work when I make a call. The other person can't hear me. Any help would be appreciated. I didn't try it before the android 2.0 update. Just bought the watch 1 week ago

Interesting... I've made a call to my house phone through the watch and my wife could hear me fine. I was talking into it like I was James Bond though, maybe that made a difference? Also she said it sounded just like as if I was on my phone and no I didn't activate the SIM.

Was your phone near by? My watch comes tomorrow, so I can't test this myself yet. But it seems the issue is that the watch is being recognized as Bluetooth headphones and not a Bluetooth headset.
Also are you on AW 1.5? Apparently 2.0 broke it. Not sure if it's been fixed as of 2.8.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

My phone was on my couch and I was in the kitchen so it was about 18ft away.
AW version is 2.8. however my phone doesn't show the watch as a headset within the Bluetooth menu. In fact it doesn't show it being connected.
Did figure something else out though and I can't receive incoming calls. It doesn't notify me at all for calls. Other than that everything seems to work as should... I'm going to keep fiddling

Yes it is. But I do have an update...
This morning I did a factory reset. I let everything update first after setup. This time I disabled the SIM first before doing anything else. Now I have all the functionality but I too now have an issue with the microphone, but only in the case of using the watch as a phone. But I now can control incoming calls. So the only functionality I lost was using the watch as a phone. Honestly I have no use case for that but I do have a use case for ignoring phone calls which I now have...
As for what the difference is... Only thing I can think of is enabling the SIM which apparently gives you access to another app, probaby Verizon specific, which handles phone calls, walking through that configuration but not activating the SIM, you know the 5/month thing I was able to make calls through the watch using the microphone but beware the notifications were wonky also you lose your ability to intercept incoming calls.
Sorry if that was kind of confusing. I'm on my.ohone at work and trying to provide as much detail as quick as possible.

No problem. Honestly if I can figure out the name of that app within the system apps I might be able to give it permission just for the microphone and then maybe just maybe we could use the watch like James Bond. Not sure though I may try when I get home.
