I rooted my Nexus 7 2 times already. I installed OS Jelly bean 4.3 and Kit Kat 4.4 and still can't get it to link up or detect it. I used the search feature on the bluetooth settings and found my laptop and phone. The head phones connect to my old phone with no problem. I turned off the bluetooth for my laptop and phone after too. I restart the headset and held down the search button but they never got detected by Nexus. I only brought these $178 headphones for the tablet. What could be causing the problem?

I just got nexus 4 and it has problem connecting to bluetooth speaker. The first time connecting to the speaker, it's flawless. However, the next time that I connect to the speaker, it would play music for 3-4 seconds before muting. Nothing that I do would fix the problem. I would have to reboot the nexus, then the cycle repeats itself.
I'm using stock nexus, rooted and running Franco kernel r15. I've read around that Android 4.2 has been having problem with bluetooth connectivity (especially in Nexus 7). Is this a known problem for nexus 4? If it is, I hope Google will fix it soon. Does anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have no issues with N7 on bluetooth audio in my truck (a2dp) and N4 with both A2DP and hf simultaneously. But I haven't modded it.
Guys, today i had a very strange problem. My Nexus 4 on JB 4.2.2 (Rooted)
Suddenly my Bluetooth audio streaming is not working correctly. It's paired with my audio devices (Tested on Belkin AirCast, Car Player, Logitech H800 Headset) but the audio play via the devices, but from the phone speaker itself.
I have factory reset the phone but doesn't help. At last, i have to use the Nexus Tool Kit to flash the Stock ROM + Unroot. Then only the Bluetooth working correct again.
Anyone has this problem before?
I haven't been able to get either of my Bluetooth headsets to work with my N7. But before anyone asks, yes, I have searched the forum for answers but there doesn't seem to be any consensus on how to solve the problems.
I have the stock 4.2.2 ROM, unlocked and rooted. Bluetooth sees and connects with both of my headsets, each of which work with my Mint 14 desktop, but the only sound I get is an occasional clicking noise. Pretty much as if all of the audio is being clipped. Also, once a headset connects, I do lose sound from the internal speakers, as expected. But disconnecting the Bluetooth doesn't get it back. I have to reboot to get sound back.
My question is this: Is my problem due to the N7 having compatibility problems with some headsets or is this a universal problem. IOW, does anyone have a Bluetooth headset connected where both the mic and earphone work? And with all or most apps? I'm primarily concerned with having something to work with MagicJack.
I use my bluetooth headphones to listen to music. I just tried using Google Now with it (I put my finger on the normal mic so I would know which mic it was using) and It seems to work okay. Idk if it is the headphone or the connection but it took me two tried to get it to play music.

I just oredered a new headset off eBay that claims to work with the N7. We shall see.:fingers-crossed:
I'd like to know which Bluetooth headsets are known to work and on what models of N7 (grouper or tilapia).
If I understand correctly, an N7 wifi-only (grouper), will only respond to Bluetooth headset button presses and voice input if you modify the bool.xml file in framework-res.apk? Can anyone confirm that any Bluetooth headset will work (button presses and voice input) on grouper without that mod?
I've used my Bluetooth headset with my tablet without any tinkering, i didn't do much with it but it easily played/paused and changed tracks in Google Music. I've got Kinivo BTH220 headphones (yes they're cheap and are probably knockoffs. These had more details than the Artics or any other lookalikes and they work well enough for my needs) and a rooted stock N7. Oh and if your headsets giving you trouble check the pairing type under bluetooth settings. My phone has a habit of sometimes only pairing phone audio not media audio.

My Sony DR-BT22 headset has always worked great with the Nexus 7 providing I do not use the Wi-Fi at the same time. I am using a custom ROM but they worked fine with the std one.
All the headset controls work as well, pause. volume, rewind, skip etc.
But I have never needed to use the mic.
There is an issue when using both BT and Wi-Fi together. Either popping and stuttering BT or greatly reduced Wi-Fi speeds and erratic connection.
I posted about it here, but got no response....

I'm using a set of Motorola s10 Bluetooth headphones on my nexus 7.
I'm currently on the paranoid android Rom.
They work great out of the box.
All buttons work, I haven't tried voice commands though.
One thing to look for is some headsets will only pair to one device at a time.
In order to pair them with another device you have to factory reset them.
My particular headphones allow you to pair with one device for phone calls and a second device for music only.
But beyond that they require a factory reset to pair with anything else.
So if you already have them paired to your desktop you may need to reset them before pairing to your nexus.

I have the same and they work. There was an issue with WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time. Try disabling WiFi and see if you have any better luck.
If you do, the only way I've found that corrects this is to go back to stock 4.1, relock, update to 4.2 normally, then unlock, flash cwm, and go back to your 4.2 custom rom. Nothing else worked.
I had troubles with Bluetooth headphones and controllers when using WiFi yet they paired and worked perfectly on my sons stock 4.2 N7.
After going back to stock and reflashing the same rom/kernel combo, it magically started working. Try that.

Hi,
I just got myself a GT-I9505 and am trying to connect to the bluetooth of a Philips Dock AS111.
The problem is that the phone is not finding the Bluetooth of the dock. Neither when just doing a bluetooth device scan, or using the Philips DockStudio app.
I tried my previous Samsung phone (S7652), and it finds the dock just fine.
I then tried to connect the GS4 to the Bluetooth of the car, and that also worked.
So the issue is really between the Philips dock and the GS4.
Anything else I can do or test, other then wait and hope for a firmware update for the GS4 that may or may-not fix it?
Never mind. I forgot to put the GS4 on the dock, and it only enables the bluetooth when the dock is connected.
I drive a 2013 Hyundai Sonata (Dimensions Bluetooth Audio system), and I am also trying to connect a Canz 808 Bluetooth Wireless speaker to my LG G2. When I initially pair my phone, everything connects fine. On both my car and the wireless speaker, the media audio does not connect properly after turning off the car or the wireless speaker and leaving the Bluetooth on the LG G2 on, and then either getting back and turning on the car or turning on the wireless speaker. The media audio does not connect properly (no sound) even though the phone shows it's connected. I have to turn off my phone's Bluetooth and then back on for things to connect properly. I found an app called Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix on the Google Play Store that seems to fix this problem. I did a factory data reset on my phone and I still have the same problems unless I use the app I mentioned, or I turn off my phone's Bluetooth and then turn it on once the devices I mentioned are already on. It seems when the devices try to connect to the phone, instead of the phone trying to connect to the particular device first, the media audio connection gets messed up. My Nexus 7 tablet, which is also on 4.4.2, connects perfectly each and every time so this seems to be a problem with the LG G2 specifically. Anyone with any ideas why this is happening?

Guys I went to the T-Mobile store today and I brought my Canz 808 wireless speaker with me. I tested it with another LG G2 at the store, and I was surprised when it didn't have any problems whatsoever. It seems my handset has a Bluetooth hardware problem. I already tried a factory data reset, and today I even downgraded to the stock 4.2.2 to see if that would fix it. No luck. They ordered me a replacement handset. It's on backorder so I'm not sure when I'll receive it. I'll test further once I receive the replacement.

After further testing things out with the replacement handset, it seems the replacement handset has the same exact problems. This appears to be a software issue then. I wasn't able to test things out properly with the demo unit at the T-Mobile store since I only tried it a couple of times. I would highly recommend anyone having media audio Bluetooth problems to try the Xperia Z1 Bluetooth media fix app on the Play Store since this little app has solved all my Bluetooth connection problems!

I too have a problem with this speaker (canz 808) though I believe the problem is with the speaker bluetooth, I cant get it to work on my samsung galaxy or my lgg2.. also the speaker no longer makes the initialization sound that it used to make when you turn it on.. I bought this thing less than one month ago.
works with the audio cable.
