Bluetooth Compatible Alpine Radios - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I bought an Alpine CDE-HD137BT headunit for its Pandora functionality. However, I learned you need to have an AVRCP 1.3 supported ROM to use the BT Pandora source versus the less functional BT Audio source. So I found Codename Android and flashed it, but that didn't completely solve my problem.
Here is the situation:
If my radio is on the BT Pandora source and I launch Pandora the radio will read "No Pandora". The only way to get it to connect to Pandora is to
1. Start Vehicle (it is in BT Pandora mode)
2. Launch Pandora App (it will start playing but no audio will come out the radio)
3. Cycle through all the options back to BT Pandora.
4. Let it connect and enjoy.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Edit: I tried to connect straight from the BT Pandora on an Incredible 2 and it worked. I'll test another ROM.

Hey, just ran across your post. Did you ever find a fix to the problem?

I have the same issue on my nexus 4. Bluetooth for automotive is checked in Pandora

Trouble with Wifi and Bluetooth at same time

I've searched around for this and can't find anything, so maybe someone can help to point me in the right direction or let me know that at least the problem is known but not fixed yet.
I can't get Wifi and Bluetooth to work on my 8525 with WM6, currently using Schap's 3.54c rom and radio version 1.48.
I have motorola s805 stereo bluetooth headphones and would like to stream radio over my work's wifi and hear it on my headphones.
The problem is Neither wifi or bluetooth work reliably when used at the same time, (no problems individually). I have even tried reducing the bit pool, but can't take it below 24 because it sounds to bad then, but it still doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas or can at least verify you have the same problem?
I have the same issue when trying to play internet radio over wifi with my ht820 a2dp linked to the jasjam (Sleuths v2 rom). The only time i ever got a2dp and wifi streaming to work was with the widcomm bt driver that is now extinct.
Thus i have come to the conclusion that the problem is not with the hw but has more to do with the standard ms bt stack.
If anyone has found a workaround please do share
Thats a start
Thanks, that is helpful.
I remember seeing a widcomm stack thread....
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Widcomm_stack
I'm going to check that out, also if there is a specific rom that comes with the widcomm stack I'd be interested to know.
I find that with bluetooth turned on I can associate to my Cisco AP at all. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off it works fine.
I had hoped my issue was due to the way the particular WM6 was put together but now Im using offical Dopod and it is the same.
Widcomm stack
Well I found this
http://www.htc-devs.com/uploads/Univ...m_bt_stack.CAB
at the end of the Widcomm stack for Hermes development thread.
I'm not sure where it came from, but I installed it and so far I can use IE while connected to my home wireless network, and listen to music on my headphones.
The com manager will not show bluetooth as being on, but go to settings-bluetooth and you can re-pair.
Currently I'm getting some hiccups, but its working at least. I'll keep you updated and I would still like to see a rom that incorporates this stack so that the com manager works right.
It also changes the headset icon on the top bar.
Streaming!
I'm streaming SomaFM with no problems!
AVRCP problems
I didn't notice this at first, but after the widcomm stack has been installed the AVRCP functions don't work... so Im going back.
AVRCP
It works in WMP, just not audiomanager anymore.
Bricking Blog
Pretty much what this thread has turned into.
If you install that cab above, don't uninstall it, you'll get bricked.

Bluetooth A2DP in Android 2.1

I have the Motorolla S9 bluetooth A2DP stereo headset.
I also have the Hero currently running VillainROM 3.4 but I've been trying to run a bt connection for A2DP media playback with almost all Android 2.1 ROMS with same results.
The phone pairs fine but once I start playing any mp3 headset disconnects and reconnects at random.
I should mention that bluetooth works great in my car with the stock stereo system for simple phone calls.
I searched the entire forum but couldn't find anyone else with this issue ... Modaco 3.1 people report bt stereo playback to be working fine .. I think this is a 2.1 issue as VillainROM 3.3 and 3.4 and BeHero and other 2.1 based roms have this issue.
please HELP
Hello rafynet
i had same problem and i have solved with this method:
your phone must be rooted
there is a file in /etc/bluez/audio.conf
copy that to your pc.Change the lines
from
-----------------------------
Enable=Source,Control,Sink
Disable=Headset,Gateway
-----------------------------
to
-----------------------------
Enable=
Disable=Headset,Gateway,Source,Control,Sink
-------------------------------------------
save it.
copy the changed file back to /etc/bluez/
I have tried this solution in all rom that i have tested and all work well for me, watch the entire article:
Issue 3960: Bluetooth issues with car systems in Android 1.5 / 1.6
I'm sorry, i can't post this link on forum!!
search it in google.
sorry for my english!
I'm waiting your feedback!!
I hope this solution works well for you. Try this!
your solution helped a little bit ... but bluetooth connection still drops and re-connects all the time ... it's very annoying.
I'm fairly sure this will be fixed when we get the official Hero 2.1 update.
I had noticed the same thing with my Motorola T505 ROKR handsfree adapter. Worked fine in 1.5, but in 2.1 it would disconnect every 30 seconds or so, then reconnect.
However... I've just got a new car stereo (Pioneer DEH-P6100BT) and it actually works *BETTER* in VillianROM 4.0 than it did in Modaco 3.2. In Modaco, it would only connect to "phone audio" and not "media audio," and I had to go into the Android settings and enable "media audio" each time I got in my car. With VillainROM, it connects automatically and it doesn't disconnect. Also, I've found that in 2.1, when listening to BT Audio, the music doesn't get interrupted by notification sounds, which I hated about 1.5.
I've had nothing but problem with a2dp on the hero, and it's probably the feature I need to work the most. I tried a whole host of 1.5 and 2.1 roms but none of them would consistantly connect to my pioneer deh-p700bt. I read somewhere that it's been a problem for lots of people since the 2.73.x series of updates, so I downgraded to the T-Mobile 1.76.110.6 stock rom and it's worked perfectly for me ever since! I'll have to stick with that one for now and hope it gets fixed in the upcoming 2.1 update
Hi,
I have a question about this subject :
i have a bluetooth car stereo with phone handfree inclued.
With all ROMs I tried (and a tried a lot...)
the phone handsfree always worked
Depend of the ROM, some items were available or not : (battery indicator or signal level indicator for example)
With only one ROM (and I don't remember which one), I could transfer my contact list from the phone to the car stereo system (with bluetooth).
Does someones knows if this feature will be again available into the next ROM (official or not) ?
Thx
PS : sorry for my bad english

The Android SDK did not include a bluetooth API in 1.5, but it is included in 2.1. I would guess we'll see a big improvement with the official 2.1 update.

[Q] Evo Bluetooth Streaming in a Volvo

I recently purchased a Volvo and for whatever reason, I can't stream audio from my Evo. Syncing the phone book and making calls work fine, but whenever I try to switch the input to the Bluetooth and play music from the phone, it refuses to work.
The streaming did work the first time I connected my phone to the car, but after that it does not. I have also tried re-pairing the phone to the car and ensuring that the settings allow both streaming and phone control.
My Evo is running the following setup:
ROM: CM 7.0.3.1
KERNEL: Tiamat 4.0.1 sbc+
Hardware: 0004
Any ideas would be great!
Try another kernel, I had a kings kernel that did the same thing with my mazda, switched to another and everything worked fine. I was using sense based roms so YMMV
Is this a factory installed Bluetooth system? What year an model of Volvo?
I created an app just for Blueotooth in the car. I have also installed many aftermarket Bluetooth systems for handsfree and A2DP. My app is free, open source, and no ads. It is available on Android Market. Just search A2DP Volume. The open source project is on Google Code. I would post the links but I am a noob ;(
It may not fix all your issues but once you do get Bluetooth working, it really helps out.

[Q] CleanROM Bluetooth Issue

First of all, CleanROM is a wonderful ROM. I have installed it on my ATT Note 2. :good:
However I have one slight problem if you guys can help me figure it out.
My bluetooth connects perfectly to my car stereo (A Brand New Pioneer made in July 2012). I can make phone calls perfectly, but I cannot play media via bluetooth. Meaning, when I try to play music it does not send a signal to the radio.
I made some troubleshooting steps to no avail:
1. The bluetooth Media option is checked under the bluetooth settings.
2. The car stereo works perfectly with my rooted Galaxy S II with Stock ROM 2.3.5 (phone + media)
3. My Note 2 fails to send media signal to my GF's new car Stereo (2013 model). Hence this is NOT an issue of an outdated bluetooth receiver. Again here, the same issue: it connects when making phone calls, but no media playing.
4. I even unpaired all other devices from the stereo to no avail.
I am starting to think it is an issue with the ROM..Is there an app I can download or some patch to fix this, or should I try a different ROM.
It took me 2 days to finally set up everything on my phone and I would hate to have to erase all and start all over.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Bluetooth issues with car stereo

Hello there. I've been experiencing a problem with my OP3, regarding the BT connection to my car stereo.
I recently bought a new head unit for my car, a Pioneer MVH-X580BT unit, it Works fine. However, when i connect my phone to it, it allows me to playback áudio, but i won't allow me to use it for hands-free calling. The Bluetooth menu on the phone says "MVH-X580BT - Connected (no phone)". It happens with any CM-based rom that i've tried so far.
However, when i install a stock rom (Oxygen OS, Freedom OS also works), it works just fine, both audio and phone mode.
Is there something in custom roms that changes some sort of parameters in the ROM that makes the phone refuse a phone mode connection from the radio?
Any tips i can use?
Thanks!
logcat of the incident:
Here.
Hope it helps.
I've had the same problems. It's an issue with the LOS BT stack. I've created several unofficial versions of my favorite ROMs using a different BT stack that fixes this problem for me. Let me know if they work.
