I had a Galaxy Nexus with Sprint and was using Car Home Ultra with my car dock. The app worked great and one of my favorite features was the giant media buttons I could use to control play music. I have now switched to a Razr M through Verizon. Everything works with Car Home Ultra except the media buttons. I have downloaded a few of the other apps out there that give big media button widgets (but don't intergrate with car home) and they do not work either. It doesn't matter if I go into play music and start a song playing or not, they buttons just never do anything to control it.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a fix? I am rooted but running the stock rom and have uninstalled a few of the built in verizon apps. I tried uninstalling the native car dock app and still nothing.
I liked Vlingo (now Dragon) when I had my Charge:

give this a try.
It seems there are a lot of bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4. I couldn't find a thread with my issue, so here goes.
While streaming audio to my bluetooth car stereo, everything works great, the audio quality is good and the controls on the unit work. However, if I touch the phone screen to control the music instead of the stereo, the audio stops streaming 50% of the time, and won't come back on until I restart the bluetooth connection. An example is that I'm listening to Pandora, and I thumbs down a song, it skips, starts playing the song, but there is no audio. The bluetooth controls still work, just no audio. Same with YouTube if I skip to the next video in a playlist or skip the ad. Also in Play Music it happens, and even in Google Now. With Google Now, sometimes when I hit the microphone, it will just sit there initializing, and if I hit back and try again, it just stays initializing until I disconnect bluetooth, which it then turns on the recognition twice.
It is only from interacting with the phones screen instead of using the bluetooth device. I can't see it being the bluetooth device, anyone else have this issue?
Its not the phone its jelly bean. This issue has been adressed and will be fixed 'in the next version of android' that's what Google said but its a known issue and annoying.

Alright, thank you. I couldn't find anything on the internet, I kept getting different bluetooth issues.
Yeah hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather then later.

I have some really weird and annoying issues with bluetooth audio on my Note 3:
1 - Basically whenever the screen turns on or off, the blutooth audio will cut off for few seconds then come back.
2 - When I use it for google map turn by turn navigation, the first seconds of the voices always get cut off, so if the direction is long, I'll hear the end. And if it's short, I won't hear anything.
Anyone else has similar issues? If so any solutions? It's driving me nuts and I'm not even sure if it's the Note 3 issue or Android 4.3. My Note 2 has been working flawlessly with the same setup for the past year. My note 3 is running AT&T stock ROM, rooted and unlocked, froze some bloatware with TB, my bluetooth headset is Jaybird Bluebuds X. thanks for any suggestions!
I had this with my old HTC EVO 3D and my pluggin BT FM Radio device. I thought it was that but my Note 3 works perfect. Nothing like what you described for me.

Which version of the note 3 are you using? is it rooted with custom rom or everything stock?
I just deleted all system & user app cache from Titanium Backup, this seems to have solved the first issue. But I still miss first few seconds of spoken direction from google navigation with my bluetooth headset. I'm tempted to do a factory reset now...
UPDATE: I did more testing and have found out more. it seems to only occur during audio stream switching. If no music or audiobook(I use different apps for them) is playing, there is no sound cut off. but if either the music or audiobook is playing, first few seconds of audio from any notification or google voice navigation is cut off.

Well, that's better than the Bluetooth on my Note 3 LoL. On my Note the voice on the other end is muted every now and then when calling with a Mercedes carkit. (Comander). And... when streaming music to a high end apt-x dongle (HTC car A100) I get some gaps in the music
Never ever had any problems with the same configuration with a gazillion other Android phones
Firmware: international J7
For my note too, MJ7 rom , I have BT- streaming music and sometimes is starts jitterining and cut outs some times, it note my bt car radio that was problem, cause my friends xperja j work flawlessly. Shame with mi6 rom too before it got updated.
This is very annoying for the most expensive and best phone available!
Same on you samsung!
please if you find a solution contact me!
Thanks for this info. I'm choosing between the Note 2 and Note 3 and will go APTX exclusively. Worrying that it cuts out like that.
When it works, what about the actual audio quality with APTX? Have you listened to high resolution FLAC files, and can you tell a difference with the Note3 and APTX on?
having the same problem, really sucks

I've tried both custom & stock rom based on several variant of the 4.3 roms, they all have this issue so eventually i just gave up.
The good news is that I'm running on Kitkat 4.4.2 now, both rooted and stock seem to have fixed the issue, bluetooth audio switching is extremely fast(along with everything else) and no cut off.
hope the new kitkat will fix it
hope the new kitkat will fix it, i'm waiting for the t-mobile to release it, hopefully soon, also i tested on the samsung mega 4.2, it works perfectly, so it just 4.3 version , thanks for the information.
HI Guys,
I've recently installed the PumpkinAuto 4.4.4 unit,
I am using Nova Launcher instead of the standard one.
Not rooted (yet)
I'm also using Doubletwist as my media player as it syncs perfectly with iTunes over WiFi
I Use the Tasker app to achieve most things that were bugging me. Like the radio app stays on when you play media,
so It now is closed when the media player starts. and the media player pauses when the RAdio starts.
The main bug is that the unit and tasker will not send the media command to Doubletwist to pause music when you key-off.
I've tried all things I can think of with Tasker, "Event" or "State", display off, display not on, power off, power not on, daydream, sleep, etc
but nothing will send a pause command when you key off or hold the Off button on the unit.
I assume it's due to the machine actually sleeping before the command can be sent?
Any help would be appreciated.
The other small issue is I'd like to be able to change is the Text size, as due to the smaller resolution of the unit (800pix) you do a lot of scrolling up and down.
I've previously had 7" tab 2's installed and am happy with the small text.
thanks in advance
I've been streaming Pandora in my car via bluetooth for a long time now, since I upgraded my old Note 3 to the Nexus 6p I've been having a problem. Once I exit the car and come back, (usually after an absence of an hour or so) I start the car and instead of Pandora streaming from where it left off, Google Music starts up instead and starts playing songs from my device. I've noticed that if I leave the phone in the car and come back to it, turn the car on, Pandora works fine and resumes from where it stopped when I turned the engine off.
Just curious if anyone has had any similar issues to to and if they have fixed it.
I have many bluetooth problems with the Nexus 6p, sometimes I have to manually connect bluetooth, when I'm on a call the other person can not hear me at times. It's really frustrating
Ever since the security update for march my Nexus 6P shows that it is connected to the car but no nothing comes through the car, I have had to use the speakerphone of the phone since the update. I will try to unpair and re-pair the phone to the car to see if that fixes but so far no go.
