i have a pair of son/erricson ear buds that hang from my neck where there is a controller that works great. i forgot the model number but message me if interested and ill look it up. the part that hangs from your neck has a little screen for caller id and to see the music playing. you can also go through contacts and xcall history. there is a volume rocker and a play pause and fwd rev buttons.

I have fun with my philips BT headset. It's really great one.

Bluetooth technology is quickly becoming one of the most common forms of wireless peripheral that is used by consumers today. Bluetooth headsets will help you to have a fully-functional headset that will easily transfer from cell phones, computers, and a variety of other systems to any other system that has Bluetooth capabilities.

[Q] Car Bluetooth Audio Problem

I have a LG Nitro HD running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.5. The bluetooth phone part works as I can make and receive calls with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010), but the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

It's been about a month and still no solution. Has anyone else come across this problem?

I do not have this problem. I have a Pioneer X930BT headunit in my car and my Nitro streams audio over bluetooth (A2DP) to it perfectly as well as phone calls.

Have you tried streaming Sirius or spotify over bluetooth? I found that the only app on the phone that streams audio to my car correctly is the pre-installed audio app that comes with the phone.

I can confirm google music and napster stream great over bluetooth. I have not used spotify or sirius for android.

Are you sure your car supports audio profile?
I stream spotify, tunein radio every day through bluetooth.
Spotify actually pauses when bluetooth connection is lost which is great for getting out of the car. I wish TuneIn would do it.

I have had the same problem with my nitro, it will automatically connect the phone but the media (A2DP) seems to drop automatically after connection. I've found if I manually re-connect to the receiver both will stay connected.
(settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth settings > *tap device name*)
I, like you, use it every time I'm in the car so it's annoying but it's a fix until there is a valid solution like a update or properly built rom.

In your case I would delete all the phone profiles from the car memory and re pair them. A lot of cars have a seperate a2dp profile for streaming music and if you pair them seperately the car stereo thinks that it needs to be paired only with the cell phone while the phone says that is paired with phone and audio.
It is not a LG Nitro 4g issue. Updates/firmware would not fix it.

That seems to be your problem JoTomlin and Kaiser. Before I installed my new headunit in my subaru I had tons of issues with my captivate playing music over bluetooth because the car had seperate profiles for A2DP and handsfree. When I got my new headunit which has a single profile containing both A2DP and handsfree it all worked without headache on the captivate and now the nitro. This is a problem with your car stereo. If its anything like my subarus, it would prefer to connect to handsfree and it would have to physically disconnect handsfree to connect A2DP (I would have to manually connect via the bluetooth menu). I solved it by getting a tunelink bluetooth audio receiver so handsfree would connect to the stereo and to the tunelink at the same time. Eventually I got tired of that and bought a new headunit.

Apparently a lot of people have swapped out their factory Kizashi factory head units for something better. But again, you'll want to bug Suzuki about something like this.

FWIW, I can stream Pandora just fine over a VW headunit with factory bluetooth. I do have to sometimes to a reconnect/pair though.

Has anyone figured out this issue? I stopped using my Nitro for about 5 months and then just recently updated it with 4.0.4, but still have the audio issue. My Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have this issue. It's frustrating because I really like the Nitro. The Bluetooth audio is a huge issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Did you factory reset after updating?

I have to unpair and repair my Bluetooth headset every single time I use it. (phone audio only). Looks like Samsung really borked up BT.
Thinking about upgrading to MDL this weekend to see if that fixes it.

i dont know about bluetooth with car, but i listen to my bluetooth headphones every day at work for hours and i have had no probs whatsoever with my bluetooth. it paired really easy like too easy and that was it.

I guess thanks for the fact that at least it works manually so in my case its a 100% software issue.

I'm having no issues with phone or media when hooked up to my car.

I have the same problem with my Denon aftermarket head unit.

My Motorola BT headset pairs ok, but the quality of the audio is so bad to my callers I can't use it. On my S3 it sounded fine. I had to switch to a different headset that's giant and stupid.

have a jabra headset and its paired excellently 100% of the time
Had minor issues (device based) when it was "paired" to 2 devices.

Use Bluetooth Auto Connect from play store. I was having the same problem except mine connected on to media instead of phone. That app fixed it right up.

Mine will drop connection intermittently to my VW RNS-315 head unit and also drop connection to my Jawbone Icon HD. When it drops the Jawbone I often see a message on the screen that says Bluetooth Sharing has crashed. Not sure if this is as a result of the rooting process or if it's a glitch in the latest firmware. Hoping Samsung will fix and T-Mo will release patch soon.

Have yet to have an issue here with my S4 and my JVC Arsenel (Dont remember which model #, was one of the higher single DIN units a year ago though), use it daily and it connects on its own without issue / hassel both phone and media

I experience the same phone only problem with my Ford Sync system, I have to manually check Media audio, but it pairs both the first tube after unpairing. I'll try the Play Store app and report back today. I will say is nice to see voice control over bluetooth has been fixed in Jelly Bean.
UPDATE: Bluetooth Auto Connect (The first one listed in a Play Store search by Jakub Klos) works flawlessly to connect Phone and Media audio. Thanks @Sym_Link!

No problems with bluetooth here, my Pioneer radio in my Grand Marquis, both audio and phone sync flawlessly. However, my Sony unit in the Saturn, will sync the phone no problem, but I still have to manually check the box to sync with audio.

My experience w/ BT audio has been variable. I have an aftermarket head unit installed on a '05 Acura RSX (JVC-NSX1 - http://www.crutchfield.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/p_105NSX1/JVC-KW-NSX1.html).
Note: my headunit also utilizes MirrorLink...which is just flippin' awesome.
BT Media audio seems to be very app dependent. I use Grooveshark and Play Music for my day to day listening, and I find that my Grooveshark will auto-play when BT Connects but if I'm going from a fresh power cycle of my automobile to Google Play I have to start the app on my phone prior to accessing the in-dash controls on my head unit.
Other times I can just select in dash controls and it will play Play Music.
Ironically, since the iOS 6.0 update plugging in the GF's iPhone no longer plays audio (freaking Apple). So if she wants to stream media it's only available over BT. Ah, progress!

Music controls over blue tooth to car stereos?

Since the Android 5.x update on my Note 3 and now the Note 7 Samsung did something to jack up the blue tooth stereo controls (so If I use apps like Media Monkey or Power Amp) that when connected to the car stereo, I cannot use the car stereo to forward, go back, etc through the songs in the play list.
Is there a fix for this, that probably is my biggest issue, I don't want to have to pick up the phone every time I want to change songs over blue tooth. Gotta keep eyes on the road......

I'm not sure how you're connecting. I have an Infiniti and I don't seem to be suffering this issue. It's compatible whether I do this through the phone or through my car's controls.

I am using a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X998. When the Note 3 came out with Android 4.x and connected to the head unit over bluetooth the album, song title, artist,etc call came over from the mp3 or flac files on the phone and I could use the kenwood back and forward buttons to move through the music on the phone. It stopped working when Android 5.x was pushed out to the phone. I talked to Kenwood about it and they said that they were not aware (but they are now they are aware of the fact that Samsung did something), like made their own new commands to send the information over blue tooth that were not part of the stock android os and that is why compatibility was lost.
I just want my text and controls back.

On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3 and a note 5 work just fine. Very disappointing.

I have a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT head unit, which worked fine with my Nexus 6p, GS5, Sony Z3....but only receives audio from my Note 7, no Music Info or Control over next/previous song.
It kind of sucks, but I'm loving the phone...

Note 3, edge and this N7 have all played nicely with the car, admittedly it's pretty basic OEM BT integration. Vehicle can control the phone no worries, though.

The only time I have this problem is when my smartwatch tries to take over the controls.
