[Q] "Bluetooth Headset Disconnected" in car stereo

I recently bought a JVC-KW-XR810 stereo unit.
My evo was currently shattered, but it had connection problems.
so I tested my girlfriend's Motorola Atrix. she could play media and make phone calls to her hearts content, so I was assured the new Evo I got in the mail would be fine.
not the case..
the audio cuts out after about 10 seconds of making a call or streaming media, but says it is still connected. I delved into the Bluetooth connections, and unchecked "connect phone" but only left "connect audio" on.
when I did this, I could stream music all night with no drop in Bluetooth connection.
when I try to make a call, the audio goes from my car speakers, to the handset in a matter of seconds. extremely frustrating.
I've even updated the firmware on my JVC unit using a thumb drive.
no fix.
I'm on a stock ROM of froyo 2.2
I tried it fresh out of the box, I also tried it rooted (which it is now with the same stock rom)
the only thing I can really imagine is going on is that Asurion sent me a refurbished POS with defective bluetooth connection.
anyone else have this problem?
this is literally the 6th EVO I've owned, so it's kind of funny at this point.

I kinda have the same problem. Mine will connect flawless with a non sense rom,such as 2.3,with warm z it will connect but not download the phone book from my phone. Kinda frustrating.

What am I looking for here?

Wrong section, go post in the questions section.

I posted something similar in the thread for Koni's Elite II thread which is the ROM I am currently using, however, I have had my problem with this ROM and Kings R2 (recent problem since using these 2 roms)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055&page=147
I am running into a Bluetooth issue on this rom as well as Kings R2.
Before I have flashed any of these rom's, I wipe everything 2x as well as using the format all 2x. So this is happening after fresh installs.
What happens is, I have a parrot car kit and upon the first time enabeling the bluetooth it attempts to pair up. I enter the pin code and then enable it to access my phonebook and all that like normal. It works fine. But then next time I come to my car and start it, it wont auto connect to the parrot kit (bluetooth is on.) So then I turn Bluetooth on my phone off and back on. But now it act's like it is the first time it is pairing up. It asks me for my pin code again and then asks for permission to access the phone book again. Before, it never did this, so it is not remembering my pin code or the selection of being allowed to access the phone book.
Also, when this happens, alot of times after it asks me for the pin code, I look at the parrot screen and when the phone says it is paired up, the parrot kit says it is disconnected. The option to allow the parrot kit to access the phone book now never populates, so it is sitting in limbo. So I then have to go into the bluetooth settings and I see it say that it is paired but not connected. So I click on it and tell it to connect, and sometimes this method works and allows it to sync, and sometimes it doesn't.
On other ROMS before these 2, (unless it was an ASOP ROM which I haven't used in a while) I never had problems with it connecting, staying connecting, and remembering my initial pin code and option to allow it to access my phone.
Sorry for the long description there, just trying to explain what is going wrong right now.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Any other information I can offer up to help troubleshoot?
BTW, I am using the same kernel I have used throughout all of these sense based roms, Netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-nosbc-havs-more
Thank you,

i have the jvc-arsenal 815bt i only have that problem when i have more then one phone paired to my unit. if you havent tried yet,go into the bluetooth settings delete all devices and initialize the bluetooth thumb from settings.then put the unit in pair mode and search/connect again from your phone.when it ask you to download contacts press yes.

I think a rule should be put in place.
If you can't find the Questions section, your obviously not very observant, therefore, your question will not be taken seriously, therefore, don't post questions until you do find it.

Dude since you can find things maybe look at the rules. This is NOT the forum for this type of question. Bump your post. if you need to don't cross post in the dev forum!

Fine, let me tie this in. It seems to be an issue with the HTC ROM's Bluetooth stack. I've heard from tons of users that its the "automatic phone book download" that wrecks everything. You have to do a factory reset. Resync and do the phonebook download immediately & with only 1 google account setup. I recently got a PM that CM7 has its own bluetooth stack that eliminates the issue. If other ROMs are having the same issue maybe devs should look into using their stack.

Bluetooth on 4.1.2

Does 4.1.2 fix any of the Bluetooth issues?
Google Now? Call recording?
Any new work-arounds?

No
No
I don't know if issues with Google now

I just updated the Google Search app. Google Now is even better, and the bluetooth works in Google Now and with Google Search. I love it - this is what it was supposed to be like.
Now, if we can fix bluetooth call recording...

4.2.2 is fully functional.

When I got my Note II just over a month ago, I was disappointed to find that it would not stay connected to the Bluetooth Handsfree in my new Honda CR-V. Every few minutes it would disconnect, then later reconnect.
Since the LTE/4.1.2 update, the Bluetooth Handsfree connection has been 100% reliable. So, at least one thing was fixed.
I'm using the official firmware release. It is rooted so I could remove some bloatware. Othewise it is stock.

[Q] Phone call audio switches back to handset from bluetooth

I've had bluetooth headsets forever and this problem is killing me!
Currently running CleanRom AT&T SE3.0 but also had the problem with his 4.9 international version, using I317UCAMA4 for the radio. Headset is Jawbone ERA.
What started happening recently is that I'll answer/make a call on the headset and randomly it'll switch audio back to the phone, either . I'll suddenly realize it's happened and look at the dialer which shows that it's still going to bluetooth. I can listen to bluetooth audio streaming and it never happens, only on phone calls.

I had this issue b4, but changed Bluetooth earpieces already!! Using Q3 and the Plantronics Legend...
But I'm thinking you may have to delete the Bluetooth paired link. And try re- pairing it too the phone again.. it helped me once!!

Found out that it seems to be a common problem with Jawbone...a software update at some point may have been the culprit or not, either way, no resolution.

Yeah, there's only one update and most people are claiming that's what started a multitude of problems. I already updated a long time ago.
On the other hand, I tested with a older Blueant Z9i I had laying around and discovered the same problem which points it back to the ROM or radio, I'm not sure which. I'm currently running CleanROM ATT SE3.0 and UCAMA4 for the radio. UCAMA4 is the most current radio right? It was happening on CleanROM 4.9 and the previous radio as well though so I'm pretty confused.

[Q] Note 3 + car audio issues

This seems to be a well documented issue in other device forums, but I was wondering if anyone here figured out how to handle it.
I just switched from Verizon with a note 2, to tmobile with a note 3. I drive a 2012 Subaru STi that has bluetooth connectivity. With my note 2 everytime i got into my car, the phone auto connected no problem.
With the note 3, I have to use the car's menu to select the phone and manually connect... every time i get in the car. From what I can ttell this is an issue with 4.3 android, and was wondering if anyone has found a way to fix it without rooting.
Thanks,
Derek

When you paired the Note3 initially, did you grant full access in the phone? I go through this with almost every android phone I pair after installation of a new head unit. As long as you check the box for remember choice for all and hit OK/Yes, everything works. The iPhone is the only device that seems to make this a fully automated thing.
On another note, the line out audio dock works flawlessly on the note 3 as well. I use it for all my tunes.

I have re paired the device multiple times and have not noticed a box to check for remember the decision. Someone said I need to establish the profiles ...but that only works when in the car and once I disconnect it resets. I had no issues with the note 2 the only change is the note 3. I'll try again and see if I get a box to check. There are no auto connect issues with my beats by dre wireless headphones or galaxy gear watch

I don't seem to get any option like you have mentioned

If you select the device in the Bluetooth device list on the phone, and press the settings icon, are all the boxes checked?

Yeah and the Un select as soon as I leave the car. What baffles me is that my headphones have no problem connecting. While this is not a deal breaker it really is frustrating me

Right now sitting in my living room they are unchecked. If I go turn my car on and select my phone from my car it connects instantly and both of those profile boxes will check themselves

Ok I guess I am going to throw in the towel on this. I have spent several hours trying to figure out why the hell this phone wont connect and my previous one did.
I found the profile settings under the bluetooth options, but those are always unchecked when not connected, and checked when connected.
I think I am just going to give up as no one seems to know why the note 3 fails at allow auto connect to some devices and the note 2 had no such problems.

Out of curiosity, what OS version were you running on the note2 when it was working as it should be? I wonder if the issue lies in the TouchWizzed 4.3 that is on the note3 as opposed to the 4.1.1/2 variety the note2 started with (I know they have 4.3 now, but perhaps they didn't when you had the device...?).

Good question, I had not thought of that.
I had 4.1/2 originally but also used Beanz's 4.3 touchwiz so that my note2 worked with my galaxy gear.
So even a 4.3touchwiz on the note 2 had no problems.
Is anyone able to have their note 3 auto pair with their car? if it didnt work at all I would be able to move on and accept the loss, but for some reason my headphones auto pair in a flash. Hell I would rather the headphones not work and the car does!

While I don't get to use it often as it only resides in the wife's car (2012 Equinox), I have had no issues w/ bluetooth pairing/use. It's interesting the variability of outcome seen in regards to things like this (and I imagine rather frustrating as well) - I am regrettably at a loss.

Fair Enough. Thanks for trying guys I have given up!

4.1.2 bluetooth MAP on 4.3?

So, I updated to 4.3 and now my focus is having problems with bluetooth. It used to work perfectly before the update but now the metadata of the song doesn't update on the radio and some other things like texts don't come through like they used to.
Simply put, is there a way to get the old bluetooth "stuff" into 4.3 or is that baked in?

I was just studying the BT issues and I found out all phones with 4.2 or greater has BT problems across the board.
Can you just copy-paste BT files? I don't know.
But its a common issue.

That's what I aim to find out... I'm tempted to just go back to a 4.1.2 ROM but meh...

No, I agree about staying with 4.3. I'm sure Google will release a fix or a clever xda member will get it.

Sounds like he isn't getting song info and text messages on his car's head unit when connected to the phone through BT on a 4.3 ROM.
Me, I just get choppy playback.

Pretty much. I used to be able to see what was playing. I used to be able to control pandora (pause/skip) but that no longer works either. I also do not get notifications like texts anymore.

Quoting you too so you get a notification,
Edit: quote from a verizon thread:
Just so everyone is aware, this is due to the whole Motorola/Google ownership change. In previous versions of Android, Motorola sourced their own protocols for their products, and included MAP in their bluetooth profiles. Since the Jelly Bean update, they've used Google's own Bluetooth protocols, in which MAP was omitted.
is this true? Surely not, how would it have worked on 4.1.2?
Edit again:

Says kitkat supports MAP again............. may just get a kitkat rom even though I'd rather stick to stock TW.....

Well, I updated to 4.4 ........... still no go
