Update @ 22-04-2017:
Somehow.... the Bluetooth issue just fixed itself.. I didn't change any settings.
It just started to function normally the next day!
It's still a mystery to me... but I'm glad it works fine now

Hi,
I just got my S8 and I love it! Everything works well.. except:
When pairing the S8 via Bluetooth with my Parrot MK6100 carkit it won't sync the contacts from the phone to the carkit and when I play audio it streams it all scrambled.
The audio trough the carkit sounds like the phone is very far away and it's about to loose the connection. Actually the connection with the phone was dropped a few times while streaming audio. This only happend when I paired the phone the first time. The distance between both devices is about 30 centimeters...
Normal voice calls are ok.
The carkit has the latest firmware version 1.03a. I already did a reset to factory settings.
It works fine with other smartphones like my previous Sony Xperia Z3 and LG G4 running Android 6.0.1.
Samsung customer service was unable to help me with this issue. According to them, no other complains have been registered about Bluetooth issues with the S8 so far. At least in the Netherlands.
Streaming audio to other Bluetooth devices from the S8 does work fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Could it be Android 7.0.1 or maybe the S8 itself, as it features Bluetooth 5.0??
And of course, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thnx,
Lorand

Hello.
I have just bought a Dell Streak in Dubai. It was android 2.1 and I was able to immediately update it to 2.2. It works beautifully, is fast and does everything I throw at it and more.
Problem:
Bluetooth audio simply does not work. I have tried pairing it with my car kit, a nokia headset, a jabra headset and a generic bluetooth headset. It pairs fine with the headsets and phone calls seem to go to the headset but there is no audio in the headset. The person on the other side also cannot hear anything. And after i press the bluetooth button during the call to bring the call back to the phone, the headset(or car kit) seems "locked" and only gets free when I switch off bluetooth on the streak.
Bluetooth file transfer works fine and I have tested it with a samsung galaxy s. But it doesnt work for phone calls. It is a major problem as it is difficult to use the device without the bluetooth on a regular basis and especially in the car.
I would appreciate any help in this matter as I love the device but as I spend considerable amount of my time driving, it is getting very annoying.
I had originally posted this on the Dell support forum and I was recommended to post it in the XDA forum.
Thanks

I use my dell streak with my motorola s10 bt headset and my car bt handsfree system and have no issues at all.
Maybe try un-pairing all devices and repairing them and testing then one at a time and see is that helps. Askari when a device is connected go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and see if you can tap and hold on the connected bt item and see if you can adjust its settings.

Thanks for the assist but i tried unpairing and pairing but it did not work. Not too many options in the menus to change so I am pretty much stuck here.
As I have updated to android 2.2 from 2.1 which came with the phone, would a factory reset send the system back to 2.1 and then i can check whether bluetooth works or not? I mean, I cant think of anything else to do.
Is it possible that something i have downloaded or installed on the sd card is causing audio conflict with the bluetooth audio?
Thanks
I could not find a solution to this problem after searching, if there is one please direct me to it. Thanks.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android version 4.4.4 install on AT&T network. When using my plantronics bluetooth headset with Ok Google detection set to activate from any screen I lose all phone audio over the headset after the first call (ie. the first call works fine but after that I cannot hear anything) Music audio works fine. If I deactivate the detection from any screen and re-boot the phone I get the audio back. I tried the same headset on my son's new Galaxy note and it worked with no problem.
I've read several posts with similar problems but so far no solutions. Obviously, there is a conflict, I'm guessing with Ok Google and the headset both using bluetooth but so far I can not find information on resolving it.
Has anyone found a solution, other than not using Ok Google detection from any screen?
Thanks, JH
Hi all,
I have a rather frustrating issue and I am not finding an answer. I drive an old 2007 Seat with an OEM bluetooth that is beautifully handled by the steering wheel and the dashboard.
I have a Note 3 SM-N9005 running Magma NX and I am very happy with it. When I connect the phone to the Bluetooth it only connects as Calls (Not media) and it handles regular calls perfectly. I do however have all my family overseas and rely a lot on whatsapp and skype calls to stay in touch and I drive a lot. When I receive a Whatsapp call, my own number shows in the dash and I can pick up the call and I can talk for a few 10 seconds and the the bluetooth link is lost. The call remains on but the link with the car is lost. I also tried it with a friends unrooted OEM Samsung J5 and the same thing happens.
HOWEVER! My wifes iphone SE does it all, calls, whatsapp and skype, and it is the very first time I am inclined to switch to an iphone, only because of that and I am not liking it.
Can anyone think of a reason why the iphone will handle voip call over the car's older oem BT whereas the android wont? Is there possibly a solution for it? (I am not changing my car or my car's stereo anytime soon)
Many thanks in advance for any pointers!

Something similar happened to me using my stereo's bluetooth feature, but my problem was that I wasn't able to link-pair them at all. I erased the stereo's history of connected and paired devices, I removed the stereo from my paired devices in my Note 3 also and re-paired them from the beginning. It works great after I did that, have you given it a try?
Hi everyone,
I recently got my self a OP5 (coming from a Meizu PRO 5). The phone is great but I facing an annoying issue with the Bluetooth.
I have a Sony SBH20 Bluetooth headset. And everything works perfectly fine EXCEPT when someone calls me.
Every single time when I answer the call via my sbh20 I can ear and talk through it but a few seconds later the sound switch back to the phone earpiece.
But on the phone, the logo on the call app is set to the Bluetooth device.
And when I manually switch it to the phone earpiece and then going back to the Bluetooth device, the sbh20 works again. But only for couple of secs and then switch back to the phone with still the Bluetooth headset selected.
My phone is completely stock with noting fancy on it.
The phone is up to date according the present date (10/08/17).
PS : I set my phone from scratch. No migration or something like that.
Thanks you for your comments.

Anyone please?
I use a Bose Bluetooth head phones no issues while calling.
Try some other headphones!!
I had a similar issue with my OP5 connection with my car's Bluetooth. It always fails to discover car's Bluetooth after connecting to the car, and stopping and starting the car. I did some research and most of the suggestions stated the issue was with cache. I reset the cache and did not have the problem. worth a try.
