[Q] Bluetooth problems - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any of you guys experiencing problems with your bluetooth? My phone connects to the car with no problems but no sound comes out from my car's speaker during voice calls. The speaker produces sounds whenever I receive calls(rings), but no audio output is produced once I answer the call. I updated the phone to the latest firmware, but the problem is still persistent. Any feedbacks will be much appreciated.

Search the forum...
Anyway try to enter the settings on the phone for the specific bt device once connceted. There are two checkboxes. One for media and one for phone. Make sure both are checked.
I have various problems with bt too...
I noticed that when the carkit initiates the bt connection its always media only and I have to check the phone myself manually.
Also if on a call and another call waiting incoming call the bt connection drops.

Thanks for the reply, but I also did that prior to posting my dilemma. Even if the car audio is ticked, no sound comes from the speakers during voice calls.

Hi,
all I can say is bad luck.
I have the same problem.
no voice at all during the call by using my Bluetooth.
I have spend 10 hours to search the solution, no luck.
I think the only way to fix it is either to wait Samsung update or root your phone, get the new ROM.

I flashed my 19505 to omega, but unfortunately, my problem still persists

Bluetooth car connection: works, but no sound

Hi everyone,
I picked up my GSIII yesterday (SGH-I747, Bell version from Canada). The phone is a champ, but so far I found fairly serious problem. My car has bluetooth phone functions built in. I paired the phone with it, and it pairs just fine. I can receive and make calls from the car just fine as well, but there is no incoming or outgoing audio. When connected to my car's bluetooth, there is no audio going through my car's speakers or through the phone. It is only when I grab the phone and unclick the "bluetooth headset" button that I can talk on the phone. If I turn "bluetooth headset" back on, there is no sound again. My car worked with my old Blackberry 8330, so the car is fine. It's a 2009 Mercedes-Benz B200, fully loaded, Canadian spec. It has the AUDIO 20 system built in.
My phone specs are as follows:
-stock ROM, not rooted or anything (do we have root yet?)
-Baseband: I747MVLLE8
-Build: IMM76D-I747MVLLE8
The GSII seemed to have the same problem when it came out and it was fixed with a firmware update (http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/5212-Speaker-and-mic-problem-when-calling-someone.)
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Did u by any chance turned down the volume on the phone?

Bluetooth worked fine in my car. Made a call. And they could hear me and I heard them. This with a Kenwood hdx6980

after pairing did you go into the bluetooth setting for the paired device (car) and check the "call audio" box?

Nope, I checked the volume and everything is turned up the way it's supposed to be.

Yep. It's checked. Moreover, if I uncheck it, the car doesn't connect to the phone.
I'll check my calling this morning, but yesterday I had streaming audio via bluetooth (audible playing a book). The only thing I noticed was that, unlike my old myTouch 4g running CM7, the book didn't stop playing when I turned the car off. That's something I'll have to work out.
EDIT - it's only audible that gives me a problem - looks like a specific app issue.
I'll l have to check if my calls work. All my music and podcast work good. They stop when the car turns off and starts up again when I start the car the next day.
Edit: Just tried it out and incoming and outgoing call sounds work great. No issues here.

I have absolutely no issues with incoming and outgoing calls through Bluetooth in my car. Also, I have no issues playing music through Bluetooth. Possibly try a factory reset on your phone and try again...
It sounds like all your cars support A2DP for playing music. Mine doesn't, it just acts as an old-school bluetooth headset. Can that make a difference?
Mine plays perfectly using Googles Play Music streaming service, also calls work fine, too. This is on my Dodge's U-Connect.
Update: I tried with an old jawbone headset to see if it's a general Bluetooth problem or just specific to my car. The jawbone works like a charm, so it's not a problem with Bluetooth versions or anything like that. But I did notice something interesting: in the Bluetooth options in the gs3 the jawbone comes up with a picture of a phone handset beside it whereas the car has a picture of headphones. I think that's the problem: the phone recognized the wrong Bluetooth profile. I can't seem to delete th car off the list of Bluetooth devices. This is rreally irritating. Any suggestions (short of a total reset)? Thanks!
You might see if there's an update for your car's Bluetooth... if so that might fix your issue.

No go so far. I'll have to try a reset, otherwise wait for an update or some custom ROMs.
Update: I still haven't done the reset, but I went to the Mercedes dealer today. They told me (after almost a day of investigating) that Germany said that the GSIII is forever incompatible with the B200. I think that's pretty dumb because the problem is clearly software, but the dealer seems to be washing its hands of this matter.

no voice on incoming or outgoing calls

hello
i have nexus 4 with stock rom
i'm having problems with incoming and out going calls, i cant hear anything and no one can hear me
if i'm using the speaker its all good
if i'm using headphones its also good
if i'm using skype or viber it works perfectly
i've already did a factory reset and it didnt help
i have to say that from time to time the phone works ok for few days and the the problem returns
beside the phone everything work perfectly
any suggestions?
thanks
Seems like it is a network specific issue. Can you check by using some other sim card/service provider ?
Could it be a baseband issue?

Try cleaning the head phone jack. I know it sounds crazy but this is what happened to me when I got some monster in my head phone jack

[Q] The No Bluetooth Audio and Headphone Jack Enigma

Ok, so I've searched the s4 threads for a while now and haven't seen anyone post about this issue, but I've found several threads related to older samsung hardware with the same issue and no real definitive solutions.
In my car I have bluetooth calling but not ad2p. If I plug my phone into the aux jack for my stereo it appears that it disables bluetooth audio, so if someone calls me, my car recognizes there's a call and plays its ring thru the stereo, the audio from Aux stops and it displays the call info on screen, but they can't hear me and I can't hear them. In other threads I've noted that sometimes people can still hear the other caller, but not them. I'm pretty sure this is related to the specific make/model of vehicle.
So I'm curious what workarounds do you guys have?
I'm trying to do this in a 2011 Nissan Rogue BTW.
I'm stock not rooted ATM.
And Thanks as always for any responses. You guys are awesome.
Same thing for me in an 06 Infiniti g35 coupe. I think it has to do with the phone and being plugged in via aux and conflicting with all audio being exported to the aux jack and pretty much disabling the Bluetooth (it certainly blows) hopefully there will be a fix soon.
I am pretty sire all of my phones do this. Note 2 one and the S4

Bump, no workarounds?

that really annoys me also, having to unplug the AUX every time a call comes in while on my Bluetooth.

Bluetooth audio problem LG G2

Hi im experiencing problems with the bluetooth on my LG G2 D802 whenever I pair my phone to a bluetooth handsfree or to a bluetooth speakers all the sound including music skype calls, Line calls, etc. redirect to the earpiece on the phone and not to the bluetooth device, this is very annoiyng since I cannot use bluetooth speakers for music or make phone calls via skype or Line, however the regular phone calls I can hear through the bluetooth handsfree
Is anyone experiencing this issue? any fix?
Do you have the model name/numbers for your hands free and speakers? They have to support a2dp for music.
You could also try an app like this :

The speakers dont have them right now but they work just fine with iPhone and the handsfree is the Samsung Wep490 i dont mind not listening to music in it but why for example skype calls wont go to bluetooth?
I'll try that app and post results
I have lots of issues with bluetooth as well. On the stock 4.2.2 ROM I can stream music, but on my car navigation it won't display song info for most songs and I can't skip songs, and on my Jambox I can't pause from the Jambox. Then on 4.4 ROM's streaming works 50% of the time, the rest of the time I have to manually start it from my phone, but pausing works fine. I found that 4.3 to be the most reliable.
The app didnt Work i just cant use bt properly

S7 edge bluetooth wont stay connected to my car

Lately my s7e wont stay connected to my car (scion tc 2014)
Before it is perfectly fine i was able to play a full music but not anymore. Tried using my s5 its perfectly fine. Not sure how and what happen. Tried factory resetting the s7e to see if something will change but no.

Mine does the same. I can be on a call through Bluetooth and the phone would disconnect and the call will still be active on the phone itself. I then have to reconnect the phone to continue the call through the cars speakers.

Same issue here. My TMo S7 edge wont stay connected to my 2010 mercedes. I suspect its a Marshmallow issue? Tried wiping cache in recovery and force stopping and clearing data/cache for Bluetooth Share app to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Same here, but also happens with my Gear S2 watch. Something is messed up with the Bluetooth stack.

I have the exact same problem, the BT disconnects from the car during calls for no reason and then tries to reconnect again. Never happened with any of my other devices, including S6 Edge... really hope Samsung comes up with a solution, this is very annoying and seems to be a very well known problem. Anyone got a solution yet?
Same here, 4 months on...

Works fine in my C7, for calls and media. Try deleting the phone from your car, and the car BT from your phone, and start over.
Update august security patch improvements to BT and NFC. anyone test it?
did all of you guys ensure you added the particular bluetooth connection to trusted devices?
i have not ad this issue with the bluetooth if you accept it as a trusted device on initial bluetooth pairing.
