I'm trying to connect my Garmin Fenix 2 watch to my Verizon Note 3 (stock ROM) using Bluetooth. The Note 3 will not see the Fenix 2. My iPod Touch 5g will see the Fenix 2 and my old Verizon Moto Droid Razr running 4.1 will also see it. Seems like there's an issue with the Note 3. I am able to pair the Note 3 with my BT headphones, Ford Sync, Kenwood Car stereo but not the Fenix 2 for some reason.

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 There is a small segment of 'outdated' tech out there that the LE technology does not play well with but the majority of devices that have been released in the past 3 or so years should work fine.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.

Before I upgraded, I had a Motorola RAZR Maxx HD that had a well known problem with the Bluetooth cutting out during music playback whether it was streamed or local. One of the key reasons I upgraded, other then I love the whole note series.. the note 4 has the same issue except it's a bit worse. With the RAZR Maxx HD I could at least use player pro and get around most cut outs. With the note 4 nothing helps. I have 3 different Bluetooth devices: LG Tone, Motorola s305, and Kenwood built car Bluetooth. All exhibit the same symptoms. I use all these devices on my 10.1 2014 and not one skip or cut outs. My note 4 is not rooted and completely stock (I want to keep it that way until we get a couple of updates..)
Any ideas or thoughts? Or is this an annoying thing that an update will fix? Appreciate any help.

I also am experiencing a similar issue, not much of music cutting out, but hearing "pops" and "clicks" every few seconds. So I have the following devices:
Phones:
- Note 4
- Tab S 8.4 (Tablet)
- Xperia Compact Z3
Bluetooth Headphones:
- LG HBS-800 (Black)
- LG HBS-800 (White)
- LG HBS-700
- Sennheiser MM 550-X
- Creative T6 Series II (Desktop PC Speakers that has Bluetooth)
I have tested different combinations and I will only get "pops" and "clicks" when I use Note 4 + either the Black or White LG HBS-800.
If I use the Sennheiser MM 550-X and the older LG HBS-700 on the Note 4, I do not get these issues
If I pair any of the Bluetooth stereo (including both the LG HBS-800s) with other devices, none exhibit any "pops" or "clicks".
My Note 4 is in stock, non-rooted, up to date state.
I have of course unpaired then re-paired them.
I used the stock player and Walkman player (I installed the Walkman APK to my Note 4 cause I like the interface).
"Pops" and "clicks" also present when watching videos.
No issue when playing over wired headphones or rear speaker.
So yeah, does anyone have any suggestion with this issue? I'm about to just start using wired headphones.
Same issue here. So, what android version have you had the issue on? I cannot remember having any problem before 5.0.1.
I have a Sony BM-10 sound bridge (apt-x), which works flawlessly with my xperia tab z3 compact, but has this issues with Note 4.
Only playback source I have tried is Google Play Music, and I have same issue on wired headphones as well. Need to test more.
Its an issue with Lollipop
Googled about it and found a workaround by installing PowerAmp and increase buffer
Hello to all, let me explain my problem. I have a Note 4, C version, Sony A400BT car audio with bluetooth. Since two days, i managed to connect at car audio different phones, like S3, S3 Neo, Allview, Note 4 F, all works. Nokia 700 with Symbian works too, Lumia 520 with Windows phone works too.
On my Note 4 C, when somebody call me, or i call somebody, nobody cant hear me. I hear all sounds/voices/ from phone call, or sounds from media. My problems is nobody hear me. Is like microphone is set on Mute. It not activate car audio microphone, and phone mic too.
On my Note 4 C, i have a Gear 2 watch connected 24/24. No problems to connect at laptop or other devices.
What solution do you have? It is a bluetooth hardware issue? (but since all is ok with Gear 2 ...)
Nobody?!?

You phone goes in Privacy mode. This has something to do with "Voice Privacy" that google seem to have made standard on android 6.0.1. Was working fine on Android 5.1.1 in my car
So I just got this phone two days ago, switching over from a Galaxy 9+. And I can't for the life of me get this thing to connect to my Pioneer car stereo! I just got the stereo a week or so ago and that was one of my favorite things about it and The Galaxy is that it constantly was connected and I was able to play music the second I stepped in the car. I can't get this thing to connect whatsoever. Anybody else have Bluetooth problems with this phone?
I have an asus max pro m2 and I recently bought an oppo enco m31 Bluetooth earphones. But I can't use it the device pairs like normal but when I play music there is no audio coming and the Bluetooth starts turning off and on..... Tried all popular music apps
Problem is not on earphone ad it works perfectly with my note 7
I am on android 10 beta 3 tried it on beta 2 also
