I hate to ask the obvious, but did you put your headset into discovery mode?

No. First make sure your headset is in Pairing MODE. Usually the led will be ON solid or BLINKING very fast. Some have a different color to show if they are in PAIRING MODE. Then turn on the phones bluetooth and add a new paired device. If it does not show up then either the headset is not in pairing MODE or it is not working properly. Hope this helps you.
Hi!
I have a question regarding android devices in general. The main question is if this idea is possible with the right app or if you need special hardware?
I want to develop an app that let's you use any android device as a bluetooth headset connected to a cellphone. The setup is primarily for a car installation but other uses are also possible. This is how I want it to work:
I install an Android MID in my car and connect it to the stereo using a cable or bluetooth (depending on whats possible) to get the sound from the mid to the cars speakers. On this MID I'll have google maps and Spotify (or pandora) for navigation and music. So far this is nothing special, but I also want to be able to answer and make calls from a connected (bluetooth) phone (like on many dedicated gps).
By doing this I want the driver (any driver) to be able pair his/her phone with the MID. The calls to the connected phone will be displayed on the MID so their phones can stay in their pockets.
1. Is it possible to answer a telephone call to a cellphone by using an "answer" button on a bluetooth connected android device? Example "My Desire is connected by bluetooth to the android MID. When an external call is made to the Desire I can anser it from the MID".
2. If the answer to no 1 is Yes, is it at the same time possible to share internet via the same bluetooth connection?
Anyone have any idea if this is possible with the right app or if it need special hardware?
Sorry for bad english and long question..

With the right app, sure. Not sure if you can do it over bluetooth tho, maybe get a SIM for the MID and have your phone forward calls to it while your in the car. But i bet someone could figure out the bluetooth thing.
First of all, there is a problem connecting to the phone wifi due to it being an "ad -hoc" network. But the phone through the tablet is a great idea and some of us are working with such a prototype called "FLEX" it will be a small unlocked cell phone device that connects via BT to the tablet and handles the phone function for the tablet as you have described. Send me a pm if you would like more info.

I know he is talking about Bluetooth... but he also mentioned wanting to connect to 3g of the phone for data I believe.
I've actually had this idea as well! I don't know much about bluetooth programming, but there should be some way to spoof the phone bluetooth device ID or whatever to make the other device believe it's talking to a bt headset. I'm going to guess it might require root.
If you do decide to start coding something like this, let me know how i can help (ie, testing).
cheers,

Thanks for all the answers. I don't think I'm able to program this myself but was interested in if the concept was possible. If it is I sure hope someone creates it. I would pay good money for a solution like that and I think others would to.
If you come across more information regarding projects in this area please let me know.
Thanks again.
Hi Guys,
i recently upgraded my S4 to a S5
My S4 connected to my car stereo as phone and as multimedia device, but my new s5 just wont connect as multimedia device.
It functions fine as telephone, but i cant get the multimedia option checked.
Is there some hidden option somewhere i'm missing ?.
I didn't have to do anything special for my S4 to connect as multimedia device.

Unfortunately you didn't give us any details of how you tried to pair your stereo to your phone. So we have nothing to work with, no way to point out a missed step or error.
Did you choose the appropriate pairing mode in your stereo menu? If you have continued difficulties, you should tell us what model your stereo is, your S5 firmware version and a detailed description of the steps you tried.

Unless your car stereo is A2DP compliant your phone wont use it for multimedia. Check that out.
This is driving me crazy.
I've spend a couple of hours now in the car trying everything i can think of.
A google search learned that I'm not the only one with this problem.
Clearing the Bluetooth cache didn't help, i installed this app but that didn't work also.
I popped my sim back into my old s4 and it connects perfectly as both phone and multimedia device, allowing me to play music from my phone on the car stereo system.
The car is a Toyota Prius 2012.
I've attached the specs of my new S5.
The S5 only connects as phone and not as multimedia device.
I also experienced BT trouble with S5 in my wife's Prius 2012. My iPhone connects with no problems, phone, multimedia, internet.
I tried to share S5's Internet but after asking/reading here found out that a vital file is missing, /system/bin/pand.
The reason why you don't get MM connection could be similar.

I copied a pand file (and the libbluetoothd.so) from a cyanogenmod image. it didn't help.
doing a logcat |grep bluetooth i noticed the following:
whenever i try to activate a mm connection from the phone to the car i get this line twice in the log file:
V/BluetoothEventManager(12390): Recieved android.bluetooth.a2dp.profile.action.CONNECTION_STATE_CHANGED
Since it's always twice, i think that it activates and immediately deactivates the a2dp connection to the car. looks like a programming error where you cant have 2 active bluetooth connections at the same time.
Hope they fix this really soon.
Not much help to you but I can get my UK S5 to connect fine to my factory car kit. I can connect for hands free, mp3 playback and as a modem for Internet all at once.

I contacted Toyota, there is an update available.
Going to the dealer on Friday, hope it fixes the problem.

You were able to share Internet via Bluetooth?
Yep. You have to enable tethering to get it to work with Command Online through.

Can you explain how in more detail?
Turn on the tethering option (search tethering in settings). Your car will connect to the phone for online access. This is how the 2013 model works.
I have the same problem with my S5 Duos. My Car is a Skoda Yeti. My Android Version is 5.0 Lollipop.
I also spent a couple of hours. Has anyone solved the problem.
Hello everyone! I have a U8 smartwatch and I don't want to change from bluetooth to phone every single time I answer or make a call. Is there any way to make it do it on it's own? Like with tasker? I have a Oneplus One and have root access if there is another app/setting that would help and requires root.
IMPORTANT: If I change the setting on the bluetooth settings page to not include phone audio. The watch disconnects.
Hi there.
I just won this smartwatch on a Internet contest https://youtu.be/gTbghsKxlzE
Anyone has it also? It uses Fundo Wear app to sync data.
I've been trying to get it to work with a iPhone 4, installed the app and paired Bluetooth but the data doesn't sync. I am able to call or answer but that's almost about it.
Can someone please help?
Cheers
