I've searched multiple threads for various updated ROMS and many seem to be experiencing the same issue w/Pandora not running (force closing) with bluetooth enabled. Has anyone figured out specifically how to fix? I typically only play Pandora via BT so this is a real bummer. I'm currently running Midnight ROM 3.1 and everything works great - except this. Please help!!!
Ahem... Q&A section please. Thank you

I had a problem playing PowerAMP through bluetooth but it wasn't FCing on me. It just wouldn't play thourh BT, only with BT not connected. I found the fix for it was to go to bluetooth settings and find the device you are trying to use. Long Press and go to options. Check the box marked "use this device for media audo" All was fine after that. Not sure if it will fix your problem, but can't hurt to try.
I'm running Frankenstein v24xxx, and I have bluetooth on, currently connected to my Sony CMT-BX5BT, opened Pandora, chose a station and it is currently playing, no problems.
Try the new bonsai rom, pandora with bt works

I recently purchased a Volvo and for whatever reason, I can't stream audio from my Evo. Syncing the phone book and making calls work fine, but whenever I try to switch the input to the Bluetooth and play music from the phone, it refuses to work.
The streaming did work the first time I connected my phone to the car, but after that it does not. I have also tried re-pairing the phone to the car and ensuring that the settings allow both streaming and phone control.
My Evo is running the following setup:
ROM: CM 7.0.3.1
KERNEL: Tiamat 4.0.1 sbc+
Hardware: 0004
Any ideas would be great!
Try another kernel, I had a kings kernel that did the same thing with my mazda, switched to another and everything worked fine. I was using sense based roms so YMMV
Is this a factory installed Bluetooth system? What year an model of Volvo?
I created an app just for Blueotooth in the car. I have also installed many aftermarket Bluetooth systems for handsfree and A2DP. My app is free, open source, and no ads. It is available on Android Market. Just search A2DP Volume. The open source project is on Google Code. I would post the links but I am a noob ;(
It may not fix all your issues but once you do get Bluetooth working, it really helps out.
After upgrading to EG22 Gingerbread on my Epic 4G
Bluetooth for the phone works well.
Google listen, pandora, and some of the other tools have lost the ability to play sound out of my Jabra SP700 bluetooth device.
Searches of this forum haven't helped me so I decided to post.
Thoughts?
Check the properties or settings of that device in Bluetooth and make sure use for media is checked. Did you also try unpairing and rediscovering?

so... I think I've narrowed down my issues with newer ROMs coming out and my bluetooth not working in the car anymore. just a little background information,
- 2011 Toyota Camry SE w/ JBL Audio
- Verizon Galaxy Nexus using various ROMs
prior to any newer releases, I would use voice/audio over bluetooth, ran great without a problem. I didn't get metadata on screen but was ok. pandora, spotify, notification sounds, google music, etc... worked like a charm.
well... now I noticed that only voice calls & google music work over bluetooth connection in the car. I thought this was first an issue with pairing the device to the car, so I deleted all the profiles in the car and redid connection on phone. I still couldn't get sound out of any other media application i.e.; pandora, youtube, notifcations, spotify, etc... I could only get google music to work correctly. the apps not working look like they are playing, I turn off bluetooth on phone and it continues playing, but when bluetooth is on I hear nothing.
so after researching, I see that majority of new releases include AVRCP 1.3 which pushes metadata to the displays. I noticed this now works with google music, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get other media services working properly. I've researched on RW, Google, other Android forums and can see some have similar issues, but the thread soon dies. [/background]
can anyone tell me if I can use an updated ROM with AVRCP 1.0 instead of AVRCP 1.3 to test? does anyone have suggestions I could try to get other media services working? thanks!

I think it's AVRCP 1.3 in CM 10 based roms that breaks this. I just switched to jelly belly 9 (4.1.2) which rolled back bluetooth profiles back to AVRCP 1.0 and pandora etc. works but without media info obviously. I also saw a AVRCP 1.3 patch for Pandora somewhere that may make it work. It's possible that the problem isn't that the ROM is not compatible, but that the Apps aren't.

Ok... I've confirmed it has to be AVRCP 1.3
Last night I took advice. I installed Jelly Belly 9 "4.1.2" w/ reverted AVRCP 1.0 because of BT issues, and this morning I went to work, tested connection with BT and everything worked! So... Looks like the issue lies with AVRCP 1.3. I don't see metadata on screen anymore but it doesn't bother me, I'd rather have all other media players working.
To touch on what others are saying, statements Google Music works perfectly fine with AVRCP 1.3 based ROM's as well as voice through BT. It's just the other media players i.e; pandora, slacker, youtube, notifications, etc.... that don't work. I'm guessing from what I read, is that the applications do not support AVRCP 1.3 and will not push to Toyota head units properly. Not sure if this is going to get fixed or not, but sucks because this limits what I can/can't use for ROMs at least a solution was found and reason why. Thanks bud!
You could also try https://github.com/loganakamatsu/PandoraAVRCP for the Pandora patch. Maybe patches exist for other apps as well...
I read on another thread that any app that supports the Scrobble Droid API hxxp://code.google.com/p/scrobbledroid/wiki/DeveloperAPI will pass the meta info to AVRCP. So I assume if you install ScrobbleDroid app hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jjc1138.android.scrobbler&hl=en from the play store any app that it is compatible with will also pass the meta info to the display.
As noted, Pandora is not supported as it does not broadcast its intents. I personally had issues getting the PandoraAVRCP github to patch. If anyone has a patched pandora.apk, I would certainly appreciate a PM.
Good luck.
Quick question whether there is an app, mod, or even build.prop edit that would allow my Note II to automatically try to connect to my car's single din Kenwood KDC‑BT952HD. Only thing the head unit tries to do when connected is re-download contacts, but it turns on as soon as my car turns on and it'd be a lot faster if my Note automatically attempted to connect to the head unit instead of the bluetooth popup with listed devices, which I don't even have considering I'm running Whompasaurus V2.9. so if there's any way I could even get the pop up that'd be great too!
I use Tasker to turn on Bluetooth and connect to my earpiece. But I need a trigger and I need to turn on my earpiece. The trigger I use is activating my map app.
So without a trigger, I don't know how to do that.
I'm new to tasker and I'm not sure how to enable the auto-connect through tasker.
I am new to Tasker too.
Task / Net / Bluetooth
will turn on/off/ toggle Bluetooth
Task / plugin / Secure Settings (separate app) / BT Connect
Will connect to your chosen Bluetooth device.
My best advice is to play around. Also, here is the first of a 3 video series on Tasker.

maybe I'm missing something here, so may suggestion by be complete off.
Maybe leaving BT tunred on your GN2 before you get in your car. Or turned it on before you get in the car. I'm assuming the ROM you're using has a BT toggle. The thinking is that your headunit will try to automatically connect to any paired BT devices. If so, the GN2 should automatically connect when the deck does it's search.
This works for me when I try connecting to Jawborn Big Jambox or Jawbone Era or other BT devices I have paired on my GN2. It may be worth nothing I'm on a deoxidized stock rom. But I this also worked when I ran AOSP roms on my Evo 4G such as CM.
If the headunit does not do a pair device search and connect when it turns on, then I would definitely try suggest above. I have no clue, and that's better than nothing.
no autoconnect on GN2
Once you had a BT connection with your car and leave it at the gas station e.g. it won't reconnect when you're back!
Sad, but since then I tried the mighty Tasker and similar apps, but was happy with the app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect".
You can define the simple trigger, when display on....
So whenever I get back into the car, I hit either the menu or start button, that's it. Without unlocking you are back connected.
The only other annoying thing that you might be able to fix with Tasker is, that right after the A2DP establishes the connection the player starts playing the last song, which I obviously don't want most of the time.
Also Play Pause Next etc over BT doesn't work too well on android.
I have a Alpine head unit and as long as my bt is on before I start the car everything syncs automatically.

I have a Kenwood Dnx6980, and my experience has been that once my phone has been setup to sync ... The Kenwood will talk to it automagically.
This is using AOSP or non stock roms. Ofc.

Bluetooth autoconnect's main feature works for my xperia pro (turn on bluetooth, connect to your selected devices in automatic)
Bluetooth autoconnect's tasker plugin is not working for me. I can use it, sort off, but it does nothing. Like, "Press the button, but there was no reply!"
Well that is odd. I have a Pioneer unit and my phone connects to it as soon as it detects it in range. Even if I turn off BT and then power it on, the phone automatically connects to the head unit without any intervention on my part. Sounds like an issue with your stereo.
No stereo issue. On some of the touch wiz based roms bluetooth DOES NOT auto connect. On most (if not all) aosp roms bluetooth DOES auto connect. Currently on ma7 stock with root and it auto connects. When I was on whomp, jellybombed, and labrats

Bluetooth Connection
Hi Guys,
Im glad i found this thread, im wondering if anyone could help me out.
My scenario is, my bluetooth is connected to my car radio playing files. When a call comes in, i need it to disconnect from the car radio and connect to my bluetooth headset, all without turning off bluetooth ( preferable )
My possible solutions are:
1 ) By using automagic, ive managed to get alot done with this app, but this seems beyond it.
2 ) Getting automagic to start an application when a call comes in which will force bluetooth connection to a specific bluetooth device and disconnected from other devices.
Anyone got any suggestions?

not sure of your rom, but both TW and CM allow you to set whether each connection is Media or Phone. put your headset to phone and your car to media only. when you answer the phone the headset should take over.

Could you share how you did this? I am completely confused by the interface.
I am wanting the same setup but also for music player and Pandora
I haven't found an example to follow that even comes close.

I've have a GS4 & a GN2 and both send metadata just fine for me over bluetooth, such as my modded pandora that will send the track info, Well on my GN3, metadata crashes bluetooth sent by pandora & spotify. Google's Music Player sends just fine. I've came across a few others with the same issue as well, I've tried using the stock Pandora player to see if Android 4.3 implemented the AVRCP 1.3 correctly and no metadata was transmitted. Has anyone came across this issue?

I have an ATT SM-N900A Note 3 and have tested it with my Ford Focus 2013 and I have the same problem. No track data is listed. Where is used to work when I would use my Galaxy S3 phone running a stock Android 4.3 rom. I have a similar thread going in the ATT Gnote 3 forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473555
On a side note (pun intended) I had a buddy of mine bring his Tmobile Note 3 over to test on my car and I got the same results. I was able to see texts messages, but I got no track metadata sent over from either Pandora or BeyondPod where it works with my previous phone.
Hope that helps confirm the issue here for ya as well.

I've tried all versions of pandora modded AVRCP & all crashed bluetooth on my TMO Note 3, I've heard the same for modded spotify as well. No issues with any other phones though. I've tested on multiple bluetooth receiving devices, the newest modded pandora will crash bluetooth when its not even connected. Only crashes when meta data is sent.
This is frustrating
Any idea how we can fix this?
Unfortunately, I'm thinking we may have to wait for custom Roms, or a fix from Samsung. Either way, I hope we get something quick.

I also noticed that the appradio app does not connect at all through bluetooth. I am thinking that somehow it is connected to this problem.

I have the same exact issue with Pandora. I didn't know what was causing it so I submitted a ticket with Pandora and nothing was able to work. This functionality was working when I had the Note 2. Hopefully Samsung comes out with a fix for this.
