Can't seem to get my Nexus to read my phone book in my car. Wasn't a problem with my Galaxy S 1. With my SGS1 it would ask me for my password to read my phone's phone book but with the Nexus no promt ever comes up...
Any way around this?
No one has problems pairing like this?
I too have this problem, however if you've already rooted your phone then try backing up your pairings from your sgs1 and restore them to your GN. You might fail in this attempt since the file systems are different, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
My problem is that my GN is not able to see my car's phone! My car's phone was paired with my previous phone "N1" and i haven't rooted my GN. If you find any solution or suggestions please do share them.
Sincerely,

Solved My Problem
I paired my GN with my car. I never understood the pairing procedure till today.
Bluetooth pairing
I too am not able to pair the GN to the Parrott in my car.
My previous phone was an HTC HD2. Am I able to copy over the file from there too?

My girlfriend and I both have HTC Desires (one unbranded and one Vodafone). We recently got a 2005 BMW 5 series with the I-Drive Pro Nav system in it.
When I try to use BT to connect to the car, I can manage to pair them, but when the phone goes to connect to the car, it only connects for a few seconds and then disconnects. It then connects again and the whole thing repeats. The disconnect is frequent enough (every few seconds) to render the whole thing unusable. It also means that it isn't connected long enough to transfer the phone book.
Both our Desire's have this problem (they have different firmwares). I thought that maybe it was the car, but I put my SIM into my old Xperia X1 and it worked flawlessly with the car.
Is there a setting on the phone that needs adjusting or is it a firmware problem? I hear other people with the same car having no problems with the Desire. I've also used my Desire in a Toyota Avensis and a Vauxhall Insignia with no problems.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi,
I know there are some issues when it comes to Bluetooth and Android, and especially car kits.
Ref (sound quality): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9888
Ref (disconnections): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5452
This is supposed to be a fix (I did not get it to work properly): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731626
I know that Cyanogenmod has made some changes to their kernel in 6.1 that adresses audio quality (bitpool increased), and I also think that the disconnection is adressed. I'm actually testing it for the moment (6.1RC2).
Thanks very much for your reply - very useful. The link to disconnections that you gave shows someone else with the same car as us (slightly different model) with the same issue.
It's very strange as there are people reporting no problems at all with that car/phone combination.
Unfortunately, I can't try the suggested fix as I don't want to start mucking around with my ROM.
I have a problem with my Volvo and the Desire. No disconnections, but I can't get into the phonebook, using PBAP.
Flashing a MIUI Rom works charming for the bluetooth connectivity, however I'm missing my SenseUI.
Just hoping, praying, some def will include the AOSP bluetoothstack in a SenseUI-Rom
BMW Software update
Hi
I´d try contacting your local BMW workshop, to let them do a reading on your car to establish which software version your car have.
If it´s a rather old software version your car have, I´d suggest that you have it updated.
The software update might be the answer to your problems, and can also explain why other users with the same car don´t have this issue (they might have a newer software version than you).
Remember, this phone is way newer than the car, and also the software in it.
I´d give it a try
PS: Be advised. Updating from very old software to new software might cause "in car-hardware" compatibility issues, and demand new hardware in the car (computer modules ect.), so make sure you talk over which consequences the update could have for your specific car before the update is carried out
Cheers

Thanks for that advice. I'll talk to the dealership and see about software upgrades. Fingers crossed!
I have a 2008 530i and my Desire (and my other halfs) work fine, so hopefully there is some newer firmware for yours. They facelifted the cars and slightly changed the iDrive in 2007 though so fingers crossed there is an update that fixes the pre-LCI models with a Desire.
Just for reference, this is sorted out now.
My I-Drive actually broke and I had a whole new unit put in (under warranty thankfully!). Since they were doing that, I begged them for the latest software, not just for the Bluetooth module, but for the system as a whole.
Since the software upgrade, the phone stays connected and everything works great.
The only fly in the ointment is that it seems that for some reason, not all numbers of contacts (or all contacts) make it into the car's phone book (most of them do).
Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, get BMW to upgrade your BT software (or the whole system if you're brave).
I have similar problem when i try to pair the phone with volkswagen tiguan 2010, it says "your phone in not supported"
Okay so, I have read a couple of threads that somewhat touch base on my issue, however are not specific to my phone so I thought I would drill down to the subject matter in a new thread.
I just got a new SGS2E4GT yesterday as a replacement for my EVO4G. So far I love it, however when I paired it into my vehicle's (2011 Hyundai Elantra) bluetooth system, It connected to phone & media with no problem, but did not download the contact book.
Is there a fix, setting, or something I am missing within the SGS24E4GT?
I guess the thing that is a bit perturbing to me is that my good ol EVO had no issues whatsoever with pairing up.....
One option you might try is to remove pairing from both devices.
Then try to re-pair them.
I have a parrot CK-3100 BT setup in my truck and the first pairing didnt go well.
Removed it and re-did it. It asked me to allow access to my phone book. It was an option i had to check and after that its worked every time.
Also, check with the vehicle manufacturer and see if any software updates are available for your BT device in your vehicle.
It might not be an issue with the Epic Tocuch but with the other device playing nicely with the Touch.
Thanks very much. Will do as soon as I get out of work tonight
currently have the gs3 thinking of getting the note 2. on the gs3 with the stock jellybean roms there is a problem that there is bluetooth pairing request every time you pair with a device, even if you have paired with that device before. it does not just connect automatically each time you must fill the request to connect.
does this happen with note 2?
No problem here pairing with a samsung headset and also a nokia one. No repeated request filling.
But of course there are lots of other problems with bluetooth (at least for me), especially with S voice control. Let's say the bluetooth experience on this phone is not stellar... Hoping these things will get better with time :angel:
Hi,
Paired my bluetooth once and going fine since then. Never asked to pair again.
Cheers!!

i picked up the note 2 here in the US today...unfortunately it seems we have to pair bluetooth every single time. really sucks. every time i connect to my appradio2 i get i have to confirm the passkey to connect. there is no way around it that i can see and my previous phone the gs3 running cm10 never had this problem. could there possibly be someting i'm missing as to why it asks to confirm the passkey every time?

Hello sir,
I'm also having this same situation when connecting my N7100 to the car audio.
I think this is because the Bluetooth function on N7100 Jelly Bean is in invisible mode (Only visible for 2 Minutes with Default Setting).
Try to change the Visible Time Out on Bluetooth settings to "Never Time Out".
Hope this help.:silly:
Maybe a work around
Hello,
You might have the problem with "old" and "new" pairing method and these don't get on quite well. The problem is that you can't make the pairing code permanent.
You might want to try this work around and see if it works (I'm not sure but I managed to pair the ICS BT in my wifes car this way):
- Turn BT on on your phone and prepare it to send a picture or a contact by BT
- Put the device you want to pair with your Note in pairing mode (so it can be discovered by the Note)
- Now send the contact/image from the Note to the device you want to pair.
- The note will start searching for devices and you chose the device you need once the phone found your device
- Now the notification bar on the phone should prompt for the BT connection and you have the option to put in the code and check the "Do not ask anymore" option. After hitting OK your code should be permanent.
This method was found by a Master Brain called Rayer and he published it on a XPeria forum; you can hit the "Thank You" button anyway if it helps you
Hello ...
I currently have an HTC One M8 running the TeamVenom rom 4.1.0. When I pair my phone to my car's Bluetooth handsfree, it works as expected. But when I disconnect or turn off the engine, reconnect or restart the car, the pairing is lost. My phone will keep asking for the pair security code. When I enter it, I get an error saying that it's been declined (or something similar). The only way to fix it is to delete the pairing on the phone and the car, re-setup the pair and it works again. Before I Updated to 4.1.0, my phone would connect to the car automatically without issue. Also, when setting a new pair, I get a slew of message on my phone (50+), saying that a new Bluetooth device has been added. Most of the time, it's the MAC address of the car. The rest are MAC address I don't recognize.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Or know how to fix it? Re-adding it every time I get into the car is a huge pain in the arse.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
See if you car stereo has a way to "re-initialize" or restore to defaults; then pair the phone again from scratch. I had a similar (although not identical) sounding problem with my 2012 Subaru Impreza (I understand their factory head units are made by Kenwood) where I would have to manually reconnect (it was paired, but would not automatically connect on it own) every time I got into the car and started it. Re-initializing the system, then pairing it fresh again solves this issue for me. I need to do this every time I flash a new ROM; on this phone and on my old One X EVITA.
Might not help your situation, but its worth a try.
I believe I remember seeing that option in the settings. I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks. =)
Hi redpoint73.
I was able to get my phone to pair permanently with my car. I wasn't able to locate the factory reset for the radio. I phone my local Honda dealer and they suggested to pair the phone/car via the phone instead of going through the car, which worked. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

I am having the exact same issue. i am on ARHD 34.6 ROM and everytime i am required to repair my bluetooth, it just doesn't reconnect automaticlaly after my engine dies.
I also have this issue with ViperROM.
This issue doesn't show up when i am on GPE ROM so there is nothing wrong with my hardware.
This has been bugging me for a long time as i need my BT audio while i am driving. I never had a problem before the Lolipop with Sense update.
I am driving a Honda City 2014 (Malaysia). Does this only happen to Honda Cars? i have asked people inside ARHD thread but not many reported this same issue.

I wouldn't assume that. There are lots of combinations of car stereos and phones that work a little differently from each other, with different hardware and software. The Bluetooth "standard" is not as uniform as you would hope. Therefore you end up with some combinations that simply don't play together well.
It partially may depend on who manufactures the head unit. Which is typically not the car company. For instance most Subaru stereo head units are made by Kenwood from what I've read. And the manufacturer may or may not be the same as the previous post depending on model, year, etc. And if you have a navigation head unit or some other "option" upgrade stereo, it might be a different make from the "base" stereo as well.
Did you try the fix mentioned in the post just above yours? Or the fix I suggested?

no luck. i couldn't find my car's bluetooth through my phone.
Hey guys,
since I bought my bluetooth headphones (Wearhaus Arc), which are actually pretty cool, I have lots of troubles with them.
When I paired my phone (HTC One M8 running latest official stock unbranded Android 6.0) with the headphones the first time, everything was great.
While using them from day to day I was faced with connection issues. That means, that both my phone and headphones are on, but it takes (almost everytime) a couple of tries to connect them. Even if I tap in the saved devices on the headphone, the connect could not be established. Turning off and on the headphones and bluetooth on my phone was the only way to fix it.
If I finally had a connection, everything was fine. In a few very rare cases, the connection worked at the first go.
Some weeks ago, a new firmware for the headphones was released, so I wanted to install them. During the update process, the updater (Android app) said, that the verifcation failed and the firmware cound no be updated. Same behaviour with the Windows 10 app. Even with another phone it did not work. Seems like, something is wrong with the headphones.
So I contacted the support again (first time they gave me the advice to use the Windows 10 app to update firmware) and told me, that I have to return it for repair. The gave me a return label etc. and I sent it back.
After waiting a few weeks I finally got it back. With zest I turned them on, but the joy was marred, because my phone did not recognize them.
Before sending them back, I unpaired the headphones in order to start over with the new ones. Maybe this was the mistake...
I did some pairing testing with other phones (HTC Sensation, BlackBerry Q10, HTC HD2), which found the headphones immediately and worked fine. So my guess is, that only my M8 has a problem with them.
Pairing, unpairing and "repairing" (pairing again) between my M8 and the other mentioned phones worked well, so there cannot be an general bluetooth issue.
After doing a factory reset on my M8 I'm a step futher, because now the phone sees the headphones (somethimes), but it isn't able to establish a connection. In case I see it, I tap on the available devices, the phone tries to connect, but a second later I get the message: "unable to pair. Make sure your devices are on and discoverable, and then try pairing again". Rebooting the phone does not work. I also cleared the data and cache of the bluetooth share app and performed a network reset like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-bluetooth-wont-android-6-0-t3340279
My question to guys is, what can I do, to get the headphones to work?
Is it possible, that on the phone is still a piece of information left about the former connection, which refuses any new connection?
Is there a file on the phone, which stores the bluetooth connections? if yes, maybe deleting or editing the file could help?
Thank you in advance!

Anyone an idea?
