Hi folks, I have a Touch 3G which is causing me a major headache at the moment, as the phone will pair via Bluetooth correctly, and will make short calls out, but almost always will not answer inbound calls and when it does will drop them almost immediatly.
The phone has the latest os and patches from HTC and the BMW kit has been checked at the service centre.
There are no issues when the car is used with Nokia's of Sony Ericsson's.
Have any of you had problems with the phone and car kits before and if so any work arounds for them?
Many thanks in advance,
Tichy
I have used mine on a 5 series with no issues.
Hi- been using orange jade for 6 months with BMW E60/530 bluetooth no problems at all
I have a Bluetooth bug and not just a compatibility issue with my car radio and the N4's BT 3.0/4.0 firmware. I confirm it is not an issue with my car's headunit (Porsche CDR30 w/sound package plus) since the problem is the same with my Note on CM10 but the Note works fine when flashed using pre-CM10 ROM. My symptom is that all pairing completes and contacts export to car and import to car address book. Calls can only be made using phone though. Car does use speakers and mic supporting call but that's it. Handset must be used as dial pad and accept/end/hold/swap calls. I have two other older phones with pre JB OS and younger BT versions working with car no problems.
If you have any N4 BT/car issues, please post.
Hi there.
Parrot mki 9200 here and N4 working good here for contact sync, calls and A2DP. Having trouble with parrot 2.11 update, but that's non phone specific.

I have an audio-dropping issue with my 06 BMW 330i, factory head unit.
I have a normal conversation for 5 minutes or so, then their audio goes away. They can hear me fine, but I cannot hear them.
I'm interested in a solution as my Nexus S worked perfectly before the Nexus 4.

Interesting that my issue is associated with my Nexus 4. The bug is on JB stock 4.2, 4.2.1 stock, Modaco custom Jr1 and Jr2, as well as the CM nightlies I am now flashing and using on my phone. I am getting service Saturday and asking Porsche dealer service tech to update the CDR30 firmware to eliminate head unit as problem.
Strangely enough, my N4 BT worked fine for the last two conversations yesterday, 10 and 25 minutes, respectively, and worked fine for a 25 minute convo this morning. I'm definitely waiting on it to drop again. Post an update once your dealer updates the SW and you have a chance to test.

Will do
My issue is likely related to my car's head unit Bluetooth radio firmware. Service tech unable to get his ICS Droid to fully interface with car's hands free functions. So it seems........

OK, the plot thickens I guess. BMW firmware is definitely sensitive to Bluetooth profiles also, but functionality seems to be there so I'll hope for the best in regards to call stability. Good luck and keep us updated.

I am subscribed to a few Google group conversations about Bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4 and reading each complaint prompted me to ask. Does anybody out there with a Nexus 4 NOT have an issue with Bluetooth?
I am on my 2nd replacement Nexus from Google Play device support and a third is on the way. If this third device doesn't work, then I either can opt for a refund or wait for Android 4.3 to hopefully fix it, if the problem is software salvageable. So I'm just curious if anybody's N4 actually has no issue with Bluetooth and in what manner do you use Bluetooth and with what devices?

I got my N4 in the first batch from play store back in November
I have never had any issue with Bluetooth
Granted I don't use it often (once every couple weeks on average) but each time I have its never failed in any way.
I have used in my car for hands free and also to send pics to my GF's phone and a couple times to transfer files from my laptop
Started out stock and then last few months been on custom ROM's with no change
Day 1 N4 here too - never had bt problems. Pairs with my car, Motorola headset, and Moga Pro just fine. Fiancée's stock unrooted N4 pairs with her car and jawbone speakers fine. Hoping 4.3 brings LE bt support for my fitbit flex, but besides that haven't had to do anything but turn on bt and pair.
What problems are you having? Haven't heard of people really having issues...

To my knowledge from researching the problem myself people claim it's a hardware issue based on some of the responses they get back from google I guess? I knew right away it wasn't just me when someone else I know has a N4 as well and when I use my LG Tone with his while connected via WiFI it pulls a dubstep and drops.
Other than that it's the only issue I have with BT that I can replicate. Hands-free while connected via data works like it should.
No Bluetooth problem here.

Stock 4.2.2 doesn't work properly with my car (BMW E61 5-series). Basic phone works, but no contact sync due to bugs in the N4 bluetooth stack. Moved to CM10.1 which contains various fixes for this and it's worked perfectly since then.
Honest truth - if the first device didn't work and the second was the same, why on earth would you assume that this was a hardware problem and keep sending the phone back? Either request a refund, switch ROMs or put up with it!
Oh sure I guess I have heard people mention that... BT and both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi coexist just fine on both N4s here. I just wish it could take advantage of my ac router.

i wonder why this isn't fixed by google? maybe really a hardware related problem?
Yesterday I had the same problem with bluetooth like this one in the video.

No Issues
Bought my N4 a month ago and I have used Bluetooth hands-free headset, transferred files from my old phone and from my netbook without any problems. Haven't tried stereo audio, though.
Got my N4 in the second batch of those available and have no issues pairing with my vehicle. I don't use Bluetooth for anything else, though
Bluetooth generally works, it only screws up from time to time for things like pairing with a new device. It's been more or less this way since JB and generally if you have a regular bluetooth setup of headset, in-car radio etc, it 9/10 works just fine.
Introduce some complications and it does wonk out sometimes. I've had plenty of times where it wouldn't want to pair right to my laptop or desktop after I factory reset my device. Sometimes it just won't get picked up either when BT is on, visible and another device is looking for it.
I believe I remember reading that there was a legit explanation for this regarding drivers and or some security thing but it's been long enough that I don't remember what the details were or where I even read it on XDA. May have even been the GN forums.
I've seen the exact problem indicated by the video on CM 10.1. I just restarted, wiped dalvik and all was well again.
Other than that my BT has been perfect. I use it daily in my car for audio streaming and phone. At home I pair it to my PC for audio streaming and it works perfectly.

I actually haven't run into many issues with Bluetooth. I use it mainly with Jawbones Jambox and it pairs up just fine. I think it may have dropped connection a couple times but less than a handful. I do run into problems when I miss a call from someone though. The audio quits playback though the devices remain paired.

I guess I have issues. I leave BT on all the time and only randomly does it automatically connect when I get in my car. I generally have to go in to the BT settings and click the device to pair with. It identifies the device, but doesn't connect automatically.
On stock 4.2.2, I had issues with BT not connecting at all and it would get stuck in an on/off post ion (it would never fully turn off or turn on when I toggled the switch). I would have to reboot to get it to work. I have yet to see this happen on cm10.1, I just have the automatic connect issue with cm10.1

I usually have no issues pairing and using. But I definitely have these two issues:
1. BT won't turn on at all (like in the video).
2. I notice my phone hot and draining battery. I look at the BT indicator and it is blue indicating a connection but I'm not connected at all. I only use BT in the car and I'm nowhere near my car. Yet the indicator is blue and my phone is hot.
Either is resolved with a quick reboot. I'm not troubled by it but is annoying at times.
I have the new Note 4 and now I have problems using it in the car with bluetooth.
My previous Note 2 worked perfect, any suggestions?
1. audio streaming from the default app works great, no problem ( I know the Samsung Song now very well)
2. calling is a problem, the connection bluetooth - no bluetootj connection is flipping each 2 a 3 seconds......
Anyone has this as well?
I have a Mitsubihi Outlander PHEV model 2013.

Yesyes,
Your answer to this problem is to flash it to 5.01 if you didn't uograded it yet.
I have an Edge and had 4 months of trouble all over now.
Hi all! My boss has the Edge + (as do I) and is having all sorts of issues with the bluetooth connectivity in his BMW. It keeps dropping in and out. The calls don't drop; the bluetooth drops and then reconnects. He's a business owner and makes tons of calls from his car, so as you can imagine, this is quite frustrating (and embarrassing).
Anyone else having similar issues?????
Appreciate your help.
I'm actually having similar issues now in my Ford Fusion. It will connect, but won't let me make calls or listen to music. When I attempt to play music it will say that BT media has been disconnected. Upon checking the status on my phone the media turns off, but the phone is still connected. However, neither really works. It's frustrating as it worked for several days when I first got the phone but then suddenly stopped.
Audi mmi works great. Maybe call your dealership and see if they have a update for the system?

My advice for the BMW is to check the firmware update for the specific model of car of your boss on the BMW website
It is not very much intuitive but I can assure there is this possibility and also the new firmware download is possible
I've been using a Note 3 for two years on my BMW 530 and at the beginning with their old firmware I had similar issues, then it was very stable with both music and phone calls. Now I'm using the Edge + without any trouble
No problem with Bluetooth on my Toyota Auris Touring Sport HSD, sometimes sms are not showned but they are well received by the car when I check them, and calls work fine. So as dengi_it told you maybe a firmware issue with your car.
I heard somewhere BMW and Mercedes will have some discussion to link iPhone and cars together maybe they won't support Android phone anymore in the future :s.
Thanks, all. Going to pass along this advice. Appreciate it!
Tell him to buy a new car!

Yes, I have the same issue in my 2015 M5. Bluetooth is essentially unusable after the latest update (OH5). This phone is going back.
UPDATE: He factory reset his phone and it seems to have fixed the issue. ::fingers crossed::

Bummer. Are you swampping out for another S6 Edge + or a whole new phone all together?

This is my second S6 Edge+. I thought it was possibly a hardware defect with the first but after the second one I am led to believe it's a typical shoddy samsung update. A factory reset will fix the problem for a few days and it will begin again.
Picking up the new iphone 6s+ on Friday. I've had enough of the bluetooth issues.

Sorry to hear. Good luck!
Works fine in 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
I am having a lot of Bluetooth issues on my Elantra. Works for few days and then it just fails to connect and I have to delete my car from my phone and from my car stereo just to get it to connect. It is a freaking pain in the butt. This is my second Galaxy S6 I have gotten and it seems mostly to be a software issue then a hardware one.
