I'm having issues with the back and forward buttons. I can't go reverse or forward at all. The volume up and down works. Do I need to do a factory reset? What about a custom rom? There is no issue with the headphones as I've tried them on a Samsung Vibrant.
I think it depends on the music app you're using. I use Playerpro & it's worked for me on every rom.
It doesn't work with slacker radio, jango, or standard samsung music app. I can't skip to the next song at all.
It used to work fine before the 2.3.6 update, then with the new music app, it also broke fast forwarding, and the rewind, as I use a Nokia BH-505

My Sony Ericsson mw600 works fine. All its buttons/features. Maybe it's the headset and the update?

It could be the update because I've used the same headphones with a Samsung Vibrant, and the rewind and forward work fine. Is there any bluetooth fix? Will a custom rom fix the issue? I would like to fix it because I use my bluetooth headphones when running.
You could try Mr X's rom. It's pretty much stock with root and ciq free. 236 rom too.

I have been having issues with A2DP stop tranmitting audio. I would try to toggle bluetooth, but bluetooth would fail to come on. I am trying a different ROM so I don't know if it was the rom, headset, or handset. New ROM and new headset, about to find out if its the phone.

I feel like I'm the only one who's been struggling with Bluetooth media since the ICS leaks started rolling out and as it seems like we're getting closer to a final build I'm getting worried.
So I often stream audiobooks and music via Bluetooth from my phone to my Sony XPLOD BT3900 aftermarket head unit. This worked just great on the GB ROM. However, on the ICS ROMs, my phone will randomly hot reboot in the middle of playing something. This includes the stock player, Power Amp, Mort Audiobook Player and Google Music. The audio cuts out, Bluetooth disconnects and the screen goes to the Sprint bootanimation screen with no sound, then quickly reloads the OS. I have to toggle Bluetooth off then on again on both the stereo and the phone in order to get it to reconnect.
If I turn off Media audio in the Bluetooth settings, just using Phone audio, and connect to the stereo via the Aux port, it works just fine with no reboots, so this is definitely a software issue (worked fine on GB) involving Bluetooth media (phone audio is fine) that may or may not be isolated to my particular stereo.
So I have to ask ... is anyone else experiencing anything the same or similar? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what the cause may be other than simple incompatibility? It's been bumming me out as I hate having to plug a cable in every time I get behind the wheel.
Had the EXACT same thing happen to me at work today as my phone was linked to a Monster Micro Bluetooth Speaker . . . thought it was my ROM or recent flash that did it but I guess not. It does not happen to me in my car when I have my phone linked to my Motorola bluetooth car received and then my audio linked to my bluetooth jack . . . only seems to happen if both are linked to the same unit. Maybe FD02 will change all that.
I have the same problem and I am looking for a solution!!!
I stream music via Bluetooth in my truck everytime I drive. I connect it to a car dock. I have noticed that the phone seems hot when I pull it out but haven't really tried to figure out why. I thought maybe it was the sun going thru the windshield heating it up bit now I may not buy that.
I've done this with every ics build and am currently on cm9 a2. Never had a reboot though.

Thanks for your feedback, I don't know why you are able to stream music through bluetooth! I have read a lot of threads about this issue and nobody can solve it until now.
Jabra Clip Won't Pair with E4GT
I had no problem using this device on GB based ROMs but once i switched over to the ICS Leaks completely lost the ability to pair with my Device, I hope there is a resolutions to this issue, I can confirm this is still an issue as of FD02.

Yup, works great with Ford's Sync. Picked up a 2012 Ford Focus the other day, and it's great.
Cm9 a2 working flawlessly. Had trouble with almost every other ics rom though.

what ics bluetooth problems as of now?
The problem is that when my gs2 is paired by bluetooth with my Sony MEX-BT3900U, it reboots every about fifteen minutes. It has been happened since I have updated my phone to ICS and not with Gingerbread.
If I just switch on bluetooth, it doesn't happen.
I know this is an older thread but I am having the same issue and I'm trying to search for a fix. It only started happening when I switched from GB to ICS. I also have a sony head unit. Anyone find a fix yet?

Well I switched to a JB rom and all is good. Must have been an ICS problem.
Hi everyone,
The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!
I have a problem with one of my Bluetooth devices dropping and reconnecting. Not sure why is just one. It works fine on an iPhone. I'm guessing your GS3 isn't the international version?

Nope not international, SGH-I747M from Bell.

Sweet! please let us know!
I'm having a different issue. it connects and stays connected, plays music but it doesn't list the song/artist info on my eclipse screen but the SG2 will..
Update: no change with the new kernel. The phones pairs but there's no sound, just as was the case before.

Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.
Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.
The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).
My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)
I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.

Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.
If you're on stock... just nm then.

What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.
Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted
KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel
CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3
PlayerPro Music Player
On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:
- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound
- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all
- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs
- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).
When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.
Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw
TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:
4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.
Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works

Hey all
I have had a lot of trouble with my Galaxy's bluetooth connecting with the system in my Infiniti M37x
I now am able to have it so everytime I get into my car, the phone's "phone" bluetooth connects automatically, I can use the hands free system to make and receive calls AND the phonebook is downloaded into the system as well. Works just GREAT! I can talk on the phone and I have my contacts there. All hands free.
But......
that is only if I pair it to the phone part of the Galaxy.
If I also pair it to the audio device, then the troubles begin.
If I were to pair the audio to my car, the music sounds great...but once I turn off the car and leave, come back, the car won't recognize the phone part. Even if I go to BLUETOOTH settings, and click the little button, it won't stay or connect to my car.
This worked great with my EVO using Gingerbread.
Is this an ICS thing?
Are there any apps that would allow me to just leave the phone as the default car connection and if I want to listen to music, just click something to switch it over to audio part?
Whenever pair to the audio and I use the audio bluetooth connection, I have to unpair and start all over to get the phone to connect.
Hopefully this makes sense. Any advice would be helpful.
Mike
This is a Samsung thing (and I hate their phones because of this)
To have this function correctly, you need to enter car dock mode. To enter car dock mode, you need a samsung car dock.
If my phone is docked, I can stream music, receive calls, etc, all work great.
If I leave it in my pocket and I stream music and receive a call, the audio comes through the phone, and not through bluetooth.
My E4GT was like this. I opened an issue with Samsung to which they replied "Working as designed"
No other phones work like this, only Samsung and their ****ty bluetooth switching.
I think you can also solve this by going AOSP or AOKP.
I have no issue with my s3 when connecting to audio or phone. and im able to answer calls, and play music no problem
How did you pair both? Do you have to switch between the two?

I am also having this same problem but only after flashing a customer ROM. With the costume ROM the phone will connect phone and I can make calls no problem but I can not get music to stream to my car stereo no matter what I do with the costume ROM when back to stock just to verify this and I have no problems streaming music on stock ROM or making calls via Bluetooth.
Sprint GS3 horrible in car
The first two days the phone worked great. Now it connects but the sound is noisy and unintelligible from either end. I don't know what changed. anyone can help me on this? can I stream music through bluetooth if it ever starts working again?
are you running the stock software not modded in any way?
Ok, I have tried several JB ROMs based on the LI8 leak and all of them have the same problem: bluetooth audio does not work for PowerAmp. I use PowerAmp for playing music because, lets face it, its one of the best players out there. However when I sync it to my car, music will not play through my car speaks even though I can still make and take phone calls. I tried Player Pro and bluetooth audio did work through my car after installing the DSP add on pack.
Now my question is this: is the LI8 leak missing certain bluetooth audio related files that make bluetooth audio work correclty or has it changed how it handles bluetooth audio streaming?
Try removing Musicfx.apk. reboot and try again.
If that works try using dsp manager as a replacement for musicfx.

I tried this and it still does not work. Could the LI8 leak be missing bluetooth files or using a different bluetooth profile?
I wanted jb but I had this problem with many ROMs. Then it started working but the BT audio would constantly disconnect and have crackle sounds as I played music. So I went over to aosp based ROM and all my problem just about went away. My only complain is that the s3 lacks in BT output power. I can't go 10 from my phone without music starting to skip. I used to go 20-25 ft with my lg phone and the HTC evo 4g lte.. I love my Bluetooth headsets but I'm giving them to my sister and I'm buying the Sol republic track HD. But you use it in car so it will be tougher for you

I discovered that problem a while ago when I switched to PowerAmp.
Good news is: Bluetooth audio DOES work, once you go around the problem.
The problem: PowerAmp on LI8 doesn't work with Direct Volume Control for Bluetooth.
The fix: Go into PowerAmp -->Settings-->Audio-->Advanced Tweaks-->Disable Direct Volume Control. Your bluetooth audio will now work.
Hello everyone,
I have just updated my At&t Galaxy note 4 to lollipop a couple of weeks ago and I have lost the ability to skip tracks from my Pioneer DEH-P8400BH car stereo, while connected through Bluetooth to my note 4. I have tried with the stock music player and Playerpro and nothing happens when I skip a track back or forward. I don’t have any lock screen software and I have a Gear 2 always connected to my phone that can skip tracks without issues.
Please I need some help, it’s very annoying and not to mention dangerous to deal with my phone while I am driving.
Thanks,
I use google music and I have never had that problem. I use my steering wheel controls and can skip tracks without a problem. If you created that Bluetooth connection before the LP update, I would unpair the devices and re-pair them. If that doesn't work, consider a factory reset if you haven't already. Many people fixed lots of problems after the update by doing a factory reset.
This is a new LP Bluetooth music issue that I've never heard of. Just a suggestion:
If your Pioneer has updatable firmware (if it's aftermarket, it might. You didn't specify whether it was stock or aftermarket), then make sure it's updated. Otherwise report the problem to Pioneer.

It's probably a Pioneer firmware issue. I have two cars, one has an AVIC X930bt in it and the other is a Lexus with factory stereo. On the Lexus, everything has been smooth sailing but on the t-bird with the Pioneer after market, I noticed it no longer works to change spotify songs using the head unit as I could before.
I also have the issue with my Pioneer stereo in my car...
I have updated my car stereo and that fixed my problem.
Thanks for the tip.
