I have tried out a couple of ROMs on my AT&T S3, and I have consistently had one issue on every custom mod that I didn't have on the stock firmware. I have a Bluetooth setup in my car and the phone connects fine, and I can receive incoming calls just fine by pushing the accept button, and Bluetooth will work fine for dialing out if I type in the number on the phone (not the best for driving), however I can't seem to get the voice activated dictation working when using any custom ROM, and my guess is because they all remove S-Voice.
If anyone has any luck using Bluetooth with voice commands in the car or with a headset by pushing the button and then saying something like "Call so and so", please let me know!
Thanks

i installed eb13 froyo and rooted my phone with cwm3.0.0.5 , then flashed viper rom trinity 2.0 with the eb13 genocide 1.2 ghz..everything seems to be very good and fast, but so far i have noticed that the blue tooth is not connecting. does anyone have any answers to why bluetooth is not connecting?
so i toggled around with my settings and now my bluetooth is working allowing me to answer phone calls and talk on the phone but the only thing that my bluetooth doesnt do is allow me to give voice commands when i tap on the button on my blue tooth!!! any advice anyone?
How did you get the headset to take calls?
Bluetooth Issues - Summary of Testing Results
This is a problem that goes away if I simply go back to a DK28 based ROM (which I have no plans of doing), but appears with any flavor of the EB13 update available.
On a day when I didn't have a lot to do, I decided to do some testing to see if I could find the magic combination of EB13 loading (upgrade.apk, ODIN .tar/.pit load, Samsung SWUpgrade and the DEODEXed [stock-ish] ROMS available) to get my bluetooth working like it does on DK28. I have upgraded to EB13 stock, EB13 deodex, deodex w/EXT4 (no member ROMS yet) along with stock/Genocide/Daemon's kernels ... essentially every mix of install, ROM and Kernel available. Add to that, I also cleared data on the OPP application --- I tried to cover every base I could. That being said, I have narrowed down my list of issues with bluetooth on EB13 to:
Paired devices are not saved. I have a Jawbone ICON and I have to add it everytime my phone is rebooted.
(Only add once on DK28)
Unable to Pair and Connect on first attempt. It always takes at least 2 and most of the time 3 presses of Pair and Connect to get the Jawbone paired and connected.
(Paired and connected on first attempt on DK28)
When my Jawbone pairs up, if you watch the notification bar closely, my wifi will also do a quick off/on right after the notification shows "Paired" on the Jawbone. Before you ask - yes, I ran tests with the various radio's on and off just to see if that was the cause. Nope.
(Never saw this on DK28, but then again was not watching for it either)
Like others have said, I can voice dial using the Voice Dialer application on the phone, but I cannot voice dial by pressing and holding the voice dial activation button on the Jawbone (the start/stop/quick disconnect happens on the application).
(Press button, state name, call on DK28)
It did not matter what combination of the above I used, the result was always the above. I'll gladly assist in troubleshooting this issue, so if anyone out there knows what to look for in the logfiles, I'll gladly run a pair/connect sequence and capture the adb logcat output for review.
Thanks in advance ... None of these are showstoppers, in fact I love EB13 and also appreciate all the hard work done by the devs and contributors in these forums (plus I guess I need 10 posts now to add anything relevant to a dev thread ).

If you use Titanium Backup and have backups from before the update, please read this:
I was having the same problem with bluetooth on EB13. Just before ODINing back to DI18, I decided to try this:
1. In Titanium Backup>Backup/Restore, find these three items backed up from a previous kernel: Bluetooth Pairings, BluetoothTest 1.0, BrcmBluetoothServices 1.0. --Touch and restore each one of these.
2. Go to Home>Menu>Settings>Wireless and Network>Bluetooth Settings (turn on bluetooth): If your device is listed as paired, unpair it. Pair it again as a new device.
This worked for me, except voice-dial through my Jawbone is force-closing (but I honestly don't know if it ever worked right anyway). At the very least, it is now pairing and connecting fine and staying connected for calls and music.
P.S.
I suppose if you don't already have a backup of these items you could ODIN back, get Titanium Backup, backup all apps and system data, then update to EB13 all over again and restore the bluetooth data.
If you flash the acs frozen rom bt voice dialing works and the rom is very fast and very smooth. The best rom I've seen yet.
I've been having problems with Bluetooth on MidnightROM 4.2. The Bluetooth is extremely flaky -- sometimes pairs, sometimes doesn't -- doesn't stayed paired.
I haven't struggled with it too much because I never used Bluetooth much, but I would like to know if there's a fix.

ACS has these same issues. It is a EB issue and I find I am having the same problems.
Anyone have this problem with the epic 4g touch and car bluetooth linking?
with my evo, i could activate voice, and it would do the "connecting to phone", then my phone would respond ( i know its my phone because the voice is the phone voice ) "ready".
With the 4g touch, it does the "connecting to phone", then not a darn thing.. no response, and when i talk, it doesnt call ( so i know its not just not saying 'ready' ).
Phone calls still get relayed through the bluetooth like they should to the car, but i cant "command" my phone.
Anyone know a work around for this?
What app were you using?? Mine doesn't do anything like that. I have a Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth and a mic but I can't get the stock apps to use the mic input.

Not using an app... on my evo it was cm7, so maybe a different dialer..
I gotta dink with it and figure out what is and isnt working.
When trying to play a call via bluetooth, regardless of the bluetooth device, it doesn't work. The bluetooth device shows the call in coming in and who is it, but when you answer it, you can't hear anyone and they can't hear you. However, I'm able to stream music and such through bluetooth just fine. It's just voice calls that don't provide audio. Anyone else have this issue? I haven't been able to find anything on this in the forum. I've tried wipping the efs partition for the radio to see if that helped and it didn't. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 with baseband version 12.62.60.27U_26.13.19_m. This used to work before so I don't have know changed so it doesn't. I also tried doing a fresh install of Cyanogen 7.1 and no change.
I upgraded to the Galaxy S III from the Vibrant. I had no problems with my Vibrant making or receiving WiFi calls on the secured WiFi networks at home and at the office. However, I am having serious problems with WiFi calling on the S III.
I can make calls (most of the time) and can send and receive texts in WiFi but I cannot answer a call. The phone either does not ring and the call goes straight to voicemail or I hear the phone ring, answer the call and can hear the other party, but they cannot hear me.
I called tech support who had me do a factory reset. That worked briefly, but within 24 hours, I was back where I started. My 911 location situation is sorted, so that is not the problem. I am also close enough to the routers that I do not believe that is the problem either.
My first suspicion was a bad sim card but another co-worker of mine who also has an S III cannot answer WiFi calls in the office either. Now, I suspect some network security issue is causing the problem on both networks I regularly use, but do not understand why considering my Vibrant had no problems at all.
I, too, cannot hear the other party when answering on Wi-Fi. It worked fine at first but now it doesn't. Anyone know of a fix?

The other thing that happens when people call me is that the phone will ring once and then go to a busy signal.
I went to a T Mobile store and replaced the sim card. They also made some test calls to my phone without success. I also upgraded the firmware on my home wireless router. In the end, nothing worked and Tech Support is sending me a replacement phone.
My replacement phone arrived and it initially did not work either. After several hours of experimenting and getting results that weren't always easy to duplicate I have reached the following conclusions:
1. There was indeed something wrong with the original phone.
2. Both phones could answer WiFi calls straight out of the box, but as soon as I altered the Setup or downloaded apps, they wouldn't.
3. I strongly suspect that either the power saving settings or the voice cmd for apps settings are incompatible with receiving WiFi calls. I could not determine that any individual app caused a conflict. When I ran into troubles with the replacement phone, I could restart it and get it to work after altering the phone's settings. I never could get the original phone to do so, however.
4. WiFi calling is still wonkier than it should be compared to my Vibrant. I am still getting calls that go straight into voice mail without the phone ringing, or the caller will hear my phone ring once or twice before it goes to a fast busy signal. I at least feel comfortable that if I hear the phone ring I can answer it, where I couldn't do so before.
Okay so I know that Google Now does not want to work with Bluetooth microphones, headphones, or anything of the sorts.
However I have heard that in the newer versions of Android (at least 4.2.2 and up) Google Now has had its code rewritten and it now works with Bluetooth.
My whole issue is that S-Voice is a slow piece of s**t and doesn't manage to do anything that I want it to do, particularly interface with Play Music. I have installed a pretty awesome stereo in my car, but I feel that S-Voice with all of its prompts and on screen pop ups is unsafe for driving, whereas Now would suit my needs much better.
Essentially what I'm asking is that if I were to put an Android 4.2.2 ROM on my device (recommendations highly appreciated, preferably with WiFi calling enabled), if it would interface with my head unit when I need to use handsfree (activated by a little telephone call button on my JVC head unit that currently enables the annoyingly slow S-Voice app).
Any ideas? I tried a workaround using 'Bluetooth Launch' and disabling S-Voice already, as advised on a few other forums... no such luck... just gave me an error code on the head unit. Kinda a strange thing, I know. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks a bunch for your help and input, it's much appreciated.
PS. I'm really sorry, I hope there isn't another thread similar to this, I'm totes a noob
Not sure if bt will work like you want on a 4.2 2 rom. But you cannot have wifi calling unless its a T-Mobile Touchwiz based rom. We only have up to 4.1.2 on those.
Make a nandroid backup and try out a couple of roms. If you like the functionality enough, keep it, if not restore the nandroid.
