ever since my G1 updated from 1.1 to 1.5, it has not been compatible with my nissan handsfree bluetooth system. i waited until another update, and now that i have my nexus one and it still doesn't work, i'm a little disappointed.
i am able to pair my phone to the car, but when i make or receive a call the car speakers shut off (as they should) but the audio comes out of the phone. i don't even know about whether or not the other people can hear me.
is this a known android issue? it may even be a nissan issue, but i'm sure it can be fixed within android (seeing as how my g1 used to do this). i'm 99% sure there's no easy way to update the nissan bluetooth firmware to help this.
anyone experiencing the same thing and is there some fix out there or some effort?
Well, I don't have a android device or nissan hands-free, but I do use a Touch Pro 2 with my sync equipped ford. Anyway, I had a very similar issue, and I had to go into the bluetooth manager and change a setting that had it default to audio over the hands-free device, rather than some other thing... It has worked great ever since then. Oh, I also learned that I had to answer the call using only the car's answer buttons otherwise if I hit answer on the device it would again send the audio only to the phone's speakers. Of course that seems logical, but my phone prior to that would allow me to answer and speak through the hands-free with either method of answering the phone.
At least it's something to look into.
Also, the phone I had before the TP2 required that I update my sync software before it would work. However, it wouldn't even pair before the update, so I don't think that's your issue. I don't know what the procedure is for updating your nissan firmware, but sync simply involves downloading a system version checker to a usb drive, plugging it into the car, return to computer and download available updates, and then return to car to install updates. I would guess nissan would have a similar method?
I realize we're dealing with two completely different systems here, but I figured I would chime in anyway since I had a very similar situation.
My Acura handsfree works like a charm. Perhaps you have too many contacts that are syncing?
awee man... I was hoping that there were no nissan/infiniti bt issues w/ this phone
I'll find out Saturday when I finally pick it up from the fedex place

haha yeah, i don't have a "bluetooth settings manager" on my car, and i don't think i can update the firmware...which is ridiculous.
also, to the acura guy, my contacts aren't even syncing

I also just got an N1 and my Nissan handsfee bluetooth lets me voice-dial but the call doesn't get routed through the handsfree system. I have to take the phone out of my pocket and activate the speakerphone. Any solution would be much appreciated.
I don't have teh same system. Like the previous poster I use the N1 with my Ford Sync. If a call is initiated from the phone it starts out in "private" mode using my phone's speakers. If initiated from the car it uses the car's sound system. There's also an option in there allowing you to choose the default sound output of calls. I have the latest firmware installed.
That actually makes sense.. my previous phone always used the speakers which was a bit of a shock sometimes when I was sat in a car park wanting to make a quick call. Clearly it still has some rough edges on some cars.
OK,
So I'm trying to get some help regarding this issue. I will continue to try different ROM's and what not to see if it can be resolved. I'm simply at a loss to where the issue lies though, however as of today, every custom ROM has been giving me trouble. My plan for today is to flash a stock ROM via Odin and then if that works go for Imperium, however I'm hoping with your help I may be able to solve it on something like CM12 or what not because I prefer the flexibility of a proper custom ROM.
OK, so the issue I have:
I have a car head unit which has bluetooth built-in. Music plays fine through Bluetooth, no jitters or issues. However, when I try and call someone and I'm listening to the radio or something non-Bluetooth, the phone does not send the signal (?) to the head unit to switch to Bluetooth. This means the call will be made via the dialer app and while the audio IS being routed through the bluetooth channel, the head unit does not know about it because it hasn't received the signal to switch to Bluetooth. I can switch it manually to Bluetooth and make and receive calls, but this isn't convenient at all and probably quite dangerous when I'm driving a car. The same applies when receiving a call.
Here's the thing, if I go into Bluetooth, select CAR KIT and go configuration, if I disable Media Audio, then it works fine! The phone correctly sends the signal to switch to Bluetooth and the head unit does so. The call goes through and it all works fine. This is repeatable.
Therefore, the issue I'm having lies in the fact both Media and Phone Audio are enabled at the same time. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone have a suggestion to fix it?
Before someone suggests "just disable media audio". My answer is no, this isn't convenient at all. I use Bluetooth media quite a lot, and simply disabling and re-enabling it everytime simply isn't an option.
So far, I've had this issue on:
CM12.1 Optimized
CM12.1 Nightly
Mokee ROM
DirtyUnicorns
CM12 Nightly
I'm yet to try a stock Lollipop ROM. I know for a fact however, that stock KitKat DOES work.
I really could do with some help here, so any suggestions would be awesome.
all the roms you have tried are aosp....aosp is not designed for the s4 as its not an officially supported device (its not a nexus) so things like bluetooth and the camera will always be broken as the required stuff needed is proprietary to samsung
go back to stock and your problem will be solved

The Bluetooth itself is fine. Audio quality is fine. Call quality is fine. It just seems like a tiny little thing that's causing all these issues for me, because if it could trigger my car head unit to switch, I wouldn't even dream of stock. Also the camera seems fine to be fair?
I'm not keen on going back to stock.... at all, so I'm thinking Imperium. It's a shame though because apart from this BT issue, CM12 is fantastic on this device. Takes a 2 year old phone and makes it feel like a brand new phone.
I really hope someone can fix that Bluetooth bug in CM12.1. I may even look myself, it must be something pretty small from a coding perspective because as I said, the functionality is clearly there as evidenced by the fact it works with Media audio turned off.
Regardless, thanks anyway
Changing the modem did not solve my problem.
When did you try the Optimized and the nightlies? There have been a lot of fixes lately regarding bluetooth.
I've used 3 different phones with my FM radio bluetooth receiver - a device I am forced to use, as my cars bluetooth is too old - it connects for phone calls, but wont connect to my phone to play audio files, hence why i use this device.
LG v20 - no problems. P10 Plus? Different story.
Mid-song over the bluetooth device, it suddenly de-syncs itself and the audio starts playing over the phones loud speaker. Completely unprompted. So I disconnect the bluetooth device inb my car, turn it back on....then it suddenly reconnects with the phone and continues playing the audio without interruption inside my car. This happens several times over a 30-45 minute period.
Bluetooth should just be bluetooth, right!? Can this be a quality control problem? An issue to do with unlocking the device or installing something like TWRP? This combined with the aweful features/stock apps of EMUI 5.1 is really destroying the experience for me. Anyone else had same or similar issues?

I dont have this problem. Bluetooth is very strong and very stable. Try updating your phone firmware it might help
EMUI is very decent. If you dont like the layouts given, you are on android. So easy to slap on a different launcher.

I'd argue that EMUI is one of the main things that stand in the way for more people to switch over to Huawei. That, and quality control. I possibly have a dodgy phone, its just this device I am using has not had problems with 2 other smartphones.
I will update the firmware to 151 (latest in my region) as soon as I know how to do it safely (boot unlock, TWRP and root installed - dont want to lose any)

Similar Bluetooth problem with Huawei p10
I have similar problem with Huawei 10. Bluetooth connection doesn't work with my built in Media system. All other phone devices connect and work fine, but Huawei p10 doesn't work. I just posted my issue here on YouTube. You can find it by searching 'Huawei p10 Bluetooth problem'.
having same issue as yours. music wont play through bluetooth. :/
temp solution is delete cache in bluetooth share in APP and restart your device. but that only works for one time. if you want to connect another time, must do the same steps. I am sure it is a software bug
try powering the device off then hold volume up and power the phone on at the same time and keep holding volume up until you see a EMIUI recovery mode from there select Delete Cache data and when thats done click on Restart/Reboot the device then see if problem remains. I had todo this steps few times when google play store would hang on "Downloading..." status now and then, But when I got B170 firmware for my p10 plus it sorta fixed it and now installs properly.
P.S my issue is different but you never know, this might even fix the bluetooth issue. So it's worth a try.
Can someone please tell me how to connect to paired devices on my P2?
As stated, pairing works fine, but how do you actually make a paired device connect? I can't find any option in the EMUI!?
I began having problem with my joying sofia head unit. Bluetooth audio breaking up as if bluetooth signal is weak. After doing a factory reset everything was back to normal. Then after updating google play store (which is automatic), started having problem again.
What I have found is latest version (or versions) of google play services is causing this issue. If I uninstall update and fall back to the factory version, everything is working as it should again. However, youtube will not run without having the latest version of google play services.
Anyone having same issue? Any solution?
Bump.
No one has this problem?
This issue is known on the current update. They said they will fix this in the next update

the only solution for the moment is to downgrade to 1 Septermber firmware or 25 July.
The latest firmware has an issue with the latest version of the Google services and BT streaming acts weird.
Joying knows about the problem and promised an update so next year... maybe... ?!

Are you using the stock launcher or a different one? Mine works flawlessly since the update... if I'm using the stock Joying launcher, which I don't want to use. There are two apps, one is called Bluetooth, for phone pairing and calls, and another called BT Music, for listening to music over Bluetooth... obviously. My issue is that whenever I use the launcher from Joying, both work fine, but whenever I use either Car Launcher AG or WebCarGuru, every time I select the BT Music app it takes me to the Bluetooth app for using and connecting your phone, despite it saying that it's connected to my phone already. Anybody else having this issue? Or found a better app to play music via a Bluetooth connection to another device? One with aux capabilities would be nice too since the stock aux app kinda sucks

I'm using the stock launcher for that very reason.
That was the issue I had with older joying radios as well. BT Music and BT Phone apps are actually the same app and I think they are just opened with some different parameters. For some reason, 3rd party launchers are not able to open BT Music app correctly.

Well that sucks... thanks though. Anybody found any replacement Bluetooth music/aux apps instead? I'd greatly prefer using the launcher I just bought, but if that isn't an option then what can ya do.

If your radio/steering control has a "Source" button then I seem to be able to access the BT Music app that way with a different launcher, if that would be something you'd be interested in. Found that out by hitting source on my BRZ steering wheel on the way home to see if it actually did anything at all, and lo and behold it solved my problem lol

That works because steering button control does not go through the launcher.
Only downside with src button solution is you have to go through all sources until you get to BT music. There is a way to mod source list or assign a button to a specific app, but I believe that requires rooting.
Hey Guys
I just got my unit today and its on July update. I have the same issue but honestly i have no clue where to get the latest Dev update from nither how to update the unit. Could some one please guide me how to do the update ? Thank you so much
5-15-19 - Emailed Joying about my Bluetooth breaking up. The update fixed my problem. Here is their reply:
Thanks for your pictures.
1）First, you need to factory reset the unit. Please follow the steps in the attached file.
2）You can upgrade your head unit with below:
(Urrl link to file removed)
Here I want to confirm the upgrade steps again as below:
1) Download and unzip the updated file with a windows computer.
2) Pls format your SD card or USB disk, copy the unzipped file directly to SD card/USB disk, (do not copy the whole folder or create any folder)
3) Insert an SD card or USB disk directly to the head unit, it will upgrade automatically.
Note:
Better to use FAT32 C10 no more than 32GB memory card or USB disk.
Pls, try a different SD card slot or different USB port if there is an error message or can not update automatically.
Pls, try a different SD card or USB disk if there is an error message or can not update automatically.
Pls kindly have a try.
If still have problems, please let me know.
Thanks!
Google Play Services Update breaks Android Head Unit Launcher
Hello,
I am having a similar problem with updated google play services . It causes the stock launcher on my Head Unit to keep crashing. Even the latest updated of play services does not rectify it. The only work around is to download another launcher. The only problem I have is while using the head unit the message comes up to choose which launcher to use.
Hi,
I've purchased the Joying New Developed Zlink Box about 6 months ago.
I'm trying to use it with iPhone X - carplay with wired cable connection.
I'm having several major problems:
1. Huge delay during phone conversations. When I am speaking the other party hears me with delay of 3-4 seconds, which make that unusable.
2. When I'm trying to use Waze (or any navigation software) and listen to any audio source on the iPhone (Spotify, internal music, podcasts etc.) and I'm on the navigation screen, the audio is very fragmented. I have to switch to the audio app screen, otherwise I can't listen to the audio source.
I've Contacted Joying support. They wrote me that the problem is software issue, and not a hardware issue. They sent me 2 updated, but the situation remains the same.
They wrote that they are working on a solution.. for 3 months already.
Do you think that is a hardware or software issue?
Can I use any of the updates currently available on other threads on XDA forums?
Does the other adapters works better, or have their own problems?
I'm attaching screenshots of the current version of both the zlink box and the zbox app.
Thanks!
Anyone?
How are you contacting them?
Hi,
I have experienced audio conversion issue, sound quality is very poor, after a full reset, everything seem better for me. Hope it can help. Sorry for my bad English.
By full reset do you mean you in install the app and re install it ?
