I have a Kenwood DNX6190HD deck that is on the most up to date firmware for both bluetooth and software. My Note 2 synced up no problem on stock touchwiz and even on 4.3 Paranoid Android rom. My Note 3 won't pair up. I can see the Kenwood deck in my list of devices but when I select it to pair I get the code on the phone but nothing on the Kenwood deck so it fails every time. Does anyone else have bluetooth problems? Or does anyone know why it may be having this problem?
No idea but my note isn't connecting to this external speakers I got lying around the house. Old phone did.

I'm also having an issue associating my old Bluetooth headphones. They associate to several devices just fine (old galaxy nexus, friends windows phone, ect.) but it refuses to be detected by the Note 3.
These are the headphones I'm using.
Is this because the Bluetooth 2.0 technology in the headphones doesn't play well with the Bluetooth 4.0LE tech in the Note 3?

EDIT #1: After doing some research in Wikipedia I found the following:
The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with the previous (often called 'Classic') Bluetooth protocol. The Bluetooth 4.0 specification permits devices to implement either, or both, of the LE and Classic systems. Those that implement both are known as Bluetooth 4.0 dual-mode devices.[3]
Bluetooth LE uses the same 2.4 GHz ISM band radio frequencies as Classic Bluetooth, which allows dual-mode devices to share a single radio antenna. LE does, however, use a simpler modulation system.
Does anyone know if the Note 3 has the LE and classic systems that allow for back compat or do we just have the LE antenna?
EDIT #2: I just wanted to update after I've been testing a few different Bluetooth products. It seems that this phone works with the majority of newer products from Bluetooth speakers to headphones to in car AUX dongles. There is a small segment of 'outdated' tech out there that the LE technology does not play well with but the majority of devices that have been released in the past 3 or so years should work fine.
I've tested out the following products with no issues:
Bluetooth Car AUX dongle
Bluetooth Speaker
Bluetooth Headphones
Saddens me to know that LE is not backwards compatible. I guess it's back to plugging my aux cable in again.

So I'm looking at 2 wireless headsets to use with my tablet. No clue if it's even possible, but that's why I'm asking you guys.
The first link is to the official ps3 wireless over the ear headset.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0053OLY9O
Second link is to the Sony 900mhz over the ear wireless headset.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001YFZ2I
Blue tooth isn't supported on either one. The Ps3 set has a mic and is strictly usb
The Sony set has no mic and uses a stereo jack.

The PS3 one would probably need specific drivers and the USB transmitter would need to be plugged into an OTG cable attached to the tablet. Specific drivers probably rule that one out. The Sony one that has a stereo plug would work if you used a Bluetooth Stereo adapter http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-CLIPPER-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B0040X33SE/ref=pd_cp_cps_1 Samsung, Sony, Motorola, etc make similar devices. You wear the bluetooth adapter and plug your headphones into the adapter. I use a Motorola Soundpilot and Bose headset they work quite well within the limitations of BT for music and games.
I got this last week. So far so good.

Have you used / tried the microphone for VOIP voice calls Vonage, Google Voice etc??
I think I'm getting these. Plus can use with ps3, etchttp://www.gamestop.com/accessories/universal-afterglow-wireless-headset/103048

I am looking to install my Nexus 7 in the dash of my truck to replace my Entune system. However, I have run into a problem that I can't figure out.
Here's the scenario. I'm on my phone and want to switch to the installed Nexus for audio being pushed into the truck stereo system via bluetooth (still on the call going thru the phone itself). The 3GN7 would end up being nothing more than a headset but I can't find a way to get it to work.
I installed the MoDaCo Rom recently to test the tethering ability... still no dice. I've tried this on both an S3 and iPhone 4S.

Am I understanding correctly that you want your phone to connect by Bluetooth to the car for calls but not audio, and your Nexus 7 to the car for audio? So your system would auto switch between them depending on which you need?
I know you can disable the audio side of the phone's Bluetooth profile so it doesn't conflict with the tablet trying to connect for the same, but on my Galaxy Nexus that setting had trouble sticking between uses.

My Nexus 7 would be docked and that dock would be wired directly into the car stereo. The phone would connect to the tablet via bluetooth, it's audio would pass through to the stereo.
Ah. I don't think Android has implemented any sort of Bluetooth audio receiver functionality.
Also keep in mind the N7 has no audio input via the headphone jack. So even if it could function as a BT audio receiver for the phone, it would have no way to receive hardwired audio input to pass back to the phone (aside from its built in mic).

Not that I could find either. I wonder if there is a hardware hack I can perform downstream of the dock and before the audio amp that would act as an audio controller of sorts. Basically allow hardwired audio thru unless it finds a bluetooth signal sending audio (phone call); and reverts once complete (call ending).
To my knowledge all cars with Entune have their own Bluetooth receiver capabilities for calls and audio... is this not sufficient for your needs?

Removing Entune itself is what I'm after. When you look at annual cost of the service, usability of the system, etc... this is a high priced bluetooth receiver with junk built all around it. Replacing Entune with a Nexus 7 would be a much better solution... as long as I can get this one issue resolved.

I don't think you will find the N7 to be a satisfactory replacement, then. You'd be much better off finding a solution that lets you still use the Bluetooth receiver that's built into the car.
I have a JVC headunit in my car & my truck. I have the N7 send audio via bluetooth & my GNex connects to it as a phone only (Set it in the bluetooth settings to do phone only). I use Tablet Talk to allow me to answer the call via the N7's screen instead of hunting for my phone. Bluetooth audio works for me since i am listening to podcasts at 1.4x speed, so audio quality has been good enough.
Besides, if you're listening to MP3s, the audio for Bluetooth might still be good enough.
Hi everyone, I'm trying to help a friend here.
His got a Nexus 4 with 4.3, but the problem was also in 4.2.2. When connected to in dash audio system (2010 Nissan Qashqai) via Bluetooth everything is working.
But while talking there are like interference within the conversation, which occurs randomly. According to the local dealer the Nexus 4 is not supported with this system. I suspect it may be something with the modern Bluetooth standards the Nexus support and aren't maybe fully supported by the audio system.
Is there a way to solve this? Is there a way to downgrade the Bluetooth capabilities since he uses Bluetooth only in the car? Would really appreciate any solution since he would love to avoid buying an external Bluetooth headset and not using the car built in speakers.
Serious bug.. When I connect the headset function of the Note via BT with my carkit and simultaneously stream music to a HTC Car A100 apt-x BT receiver, the voice on the other end of a call will mute every now and then. I didn't have this problem with my other phones so it must be a Note 3 thing. My firmware version is XXUMBJ2 (radio version is the version that came with this firmware version). Phone model: N9005
Anyone any idea how to fix this? Or are there people running another firmware version that doesn't have this problem?
I am going to be running a similar setup in a few days when my bluetooth music receiver arrives. My car has BT for phone calls built in but not music so I need to connect to both simultaneously.
I will update when I have some news to let you know if I have the same bug. I run MJ6 btu, I have a 2009 Ford focus and the bluetooth music receiver I have ordered is an avantree cara BT v4.0 aptx module... so a little different setup.

Update: I cannot reproduce your bug with the above setup. I have updated to MJ7 since that post as well. Car Bluetooth and music Bluetooth work well together.

Was wondering if there is anyway around not being able to connect two bluetooth devices "of the same type" to my Nexus 6P?
For example, my wife and I want to listen to an audiobook playing from my Nexus 6P on our own separate bluetooth earbuds. It appears this is not possible.
I know it is possible to connect two bluetooth devices of "different" types, such as earbuds and a wireless keyboard, but it appears you cannot connect two of the "same" type.
Any apps or workarounds for this?
And, is this a limitation of the Nexus 6P? Of the operating system (I am also using Android O beta, and same problem)? Or a limitation of Bluetooth protocol?
I think it's a limitation of Bluetooth itself. Bluetooth 5 will bring support for 2 audio devices at the same time.
True, you would need a device with Bluetooth 5 and accessories bt5 compatible. The new Galaxy S8 & + have bt5...
You're probably using a2dp and fall in an Android limitation. See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothA2dp.html
