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.
I am using NexusMod ICS Zero - [4-19-12] Modified for T989 - 2nd Release
I try to flash with SuperWipe, without superwipe, Darkside Superwipe, M&S Kernel clenser, with format everything, with clear everything.
Don't know what else I should try.
how come when I come back to my restore (which is easydoes ICS ROM) the bluetooth works fine (I have to re-pair in my car after restore, because I clear the bluetooth system in my car evertime I pair the new rom)?
For me bluetooth didn't work for any of the new UCLD2 ROMS.
The bluetooth worked on the earlier ICS leaks.
Here is the LogCat for the crash
LogCat Link
Thanks,
here is the logcat for the fresh install and fresh test with the car bluetooth.
Can someone tell me what direction I should look at?
just flash your stock rom/ or just radio
there is no ICS Stock Rom available for flashing.
and I did flash the LB7 radio
I tried Gingerbread stock works fine....
then install NexusMod and same issue.
UCLD2 broke bluetooth for me also (Skyrocket). Works fine on the first ICS leak though (UCLC something).
It pairs to my JVC car stereo.
But buzzes/crashes when trying to stream.
Bluetooth will turn on/off over and over.
I still not able to find any fix or way around.
Please update this thread if you find one.

What is the version of your cmw?
I am on 5.0.2.7
Not cmw touch. Dunno maybe its working with cmw touch only.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
I read it on skyrocket forum the Dev said on nexusmod thread that you have to be on cmw touch.
I update my cmw to touch and then reinstall the ROM and that didn't help either.
That's weird. Have no clue why Bluetooth is not working...
Anyways back to the first leak for now...

As I stated in the NexusMOD thread, bluetooth integration to my car is broken as well. Haven't tried v3.3 yet nor have I tried the make nandroid -restore from nandroid trick mentioned in the T989 NexusMOD thread... Am still hopeful that a new leak will come out with a different BT stack which fixes this

I noticed "bluetooth" kept showing up on my CTS stereo like it was connecting. Under bluetooth click menu button and set visible timeout (mine was set to 2 minutes). I set mine to unlimited, since then it stopped showing up on my stereo.

Thanks for the feedback.
I re-install the ROM with 3.8 update and tried your method but that still not stop crashing the BT and transferred the call to the handset and disconnect from the car BT.
I guess I have to wait for the new leak with the hope that it will not have this issue.
I'm having, to be fair, a small issue not found on the stock Rom. So if anyone has an idea what it is or how to fix it. Very much appreciated.
Right, I use my phone to play music in my car (Toyota prius) through Bluetooth. I've done so for a year or so one my desire hd. Then a few weeks ago I switched to the one x. Stock Rom, connecting to Bluetooth was fine. Reconnecting as well. And now the issue: I can connect for the first time (pairing), but when I try to reconnect it won't work. I have to delete (unpair) the connection and recreate it before able to use it again. So whenever I loose the connection, the only way the establish it again is to re-pair the connection. I've tried with 6.20 and with the new 6.40 version. I've went back to stock and working correctly then again. Full wipes.. multiple times. Yet I can't find any posts searching for it so I must be missing something.
Appreciate the help. Currently enjoying leedroid 6.40 very much as battery live is just amazing (worth the hassle of this bt issue).
Ps. Just don't tell me it's some button I forgot to press... If that's the case, I'll /facedesk myself a few times ;-)

Hiya mate,
I think this problem could be on the new stock rom too. Someone's posted in the General Forum along exactly the same lines...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694096
Connecting my One X to my BT car radio always worked fine. After installing 1.29 however I have problems. When connecting, it connects for a couple of seconds and then BT and Data shut down. I get the warning that there is a problem with Com.android.phone
I have to restart the phone to get back my data connection.
Anyone have any suggestion?

Cheers, I also tried different kernels, but nothing.
We'll see in the future, it's no biggy.
Since I upgraded my AT&T Galaxy S3 with the official Jelly Bean update last week, my bluetooth pairing with my car has not worked.
At first, I was continuing to use the existing pairing which was set up and perfectly working in ICS. Whenever I made a call from my car ('09 BMW 3-series, bluetooth phone via built in nav system), there would be a loud pitch sound when the call was answered and then connection lost.
So I unpaired, and re-paired.
But now it does not work at all. Connection keeps dropping every few seconds. I have not even managed to get the data sync (transferring of contact data from phone to car) to complete.
This is beyond me. Jelly Bean is great, but it is not worth the price of not having properly functioning bluetooth.
Any suggestions? Anyone with similar issue? Is it possible to somehow roll back to ICS?
I know this is a typical response for any issues after an upgrade, but have you tried a factory reset?
Also can you delete your phone from your cars memory(I know mine remembers all phones that have connected to it) might help.

Thanks for your response.
I have not (yet) tried a factory reset, was sort of hoping to avoid the hassle of having to restore my data and apps. But I will eventually resort to it, if nothing else can fix it.
Good suggestion with regards to erasing from car memory. I am not sure if or how that can be done, but I will try and look through the settings to see if I can. (what I have done so far is just "remove" the device from the list of paired devices...

Pretty sure this is the actual cause of your problem.

I went through all possible options in my car's nav system (xDrive) and I do not see any options to delete the car's memory.
So the only option as far as I know is to remove the device from the list of paired devices before pairing it again. And I tried that already...
Look through All Applications in Application Manager for BT share. Wipe data for that. Be warned this should wipe all your bt pairings.
Ok. So I resorted to restoring to factory settings.
With it clean, before restoring backup (made with Titanium), I went to my car and paired.
It worked - it synced the (very few, AT&T default) contacts, and no dropping (as far as I waited, a few minutes).
This was good news.
So I went back up and restored all app data, signed into Google account to sync all contacts etc.
Then back down in car and connected.
Problem is back It won't sync the contacts and continously drops and reconnects.
Well at least I have a reference point to go back to now and perhaps take one step at the time.
I was thinking next step is to restore to factory settings again, then ~only~ add google account to sync up contacts, then try. If that works, restore one app at a time to see if I can isolate the issue.
I will do this tomorrow.

I just did this. I am however too tired for the day and will check first thing in the morning, if this resolved it (as I am back in the problem state) - before resetting and starting all over (ref. my above mentioned thoughts of how to do a gradual restore)...
Thanks all for your input so far - I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. This forum rocks so far.

Progress this morning:
First of all, I tried as suggested clearing data for Bluetooth Share. Didn't fix the problem.
I know now that if I pair the phone and connect after factory reset, with the contacts list on the phone at default/almost empty (11 pre-defined AT&T numbers), it works.
So what I did this morning:
I factory reset the phone again. Then I added my Google account to sync up contacts list from my GMail account.
I ~only~ did this. No apps installed or restored.
Paired and connected. And I have the problem.
So this seem to somehow be caused by my contacts list after it has synced up with Google.
Any suggestions?
I am thinking that if I cannot get this resolved, I want to roll back to ICS. Having no functional bluetooth pairing with my car is not an acceptable tradeoff, no matter how great JB is. Is there a way to roll back? Can I get the official ICS ROM from AT&T, if needed?
But of course - this will be my final solution; I much prefer to get this resolved. I am open to any suggestions re. my contacts/google account.
You have an old problem. There are stock roms and instructions to do it stickied on the original development forum. I suggest you download the jb version of your carrier and flash that through Odin first.
If that doesn't work, then go back to ics

Thanks for your feedback.
Can I ask, if you know where this problem is perhaps discussed?
I looked in the developer forum, but must admit I am confused which thread/which ROM you are referring to. Are you talking about a modified stock ROM? I would greatly appreciate a link if it is...
Today's update:
At work we have a Galaxy S3 AT&T device (identical to my own) for testing purposes.
I just upgraded it to Jelly Bean today and then added my gmail account to it, paired to my car - and the same problem.
So at least that rules out an issue with my specific hardware/phone.
I also tried using a Galaxy Nexus (Verizon version) from work. Issue did NOT happen.
I then flashed my own phone with the stock Jelly Bean ROM downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Same issue happens
So my final solution (at least for now):
I flashed to the stock Ice Cream Sandwich ROM (downloaded from same place as listed above).
It works now.
Funny how one can be so happy with a downgrade, but I am
Thanks all for all your input.
I am still open to any suggestions (as I would love to be on Jelly Bean in the future), and I have an easy way to test possible solutions on my work test device...
Thanks again!

Hey, I am having Bluetooth problems as well. I have the sprint s3 stock jb. My blue tooth will not connect to my moga controller. Everything I have been reading points at it being a software issue on Samsung JB devices. Can anybody else confirm this?

Aren't the bluetooth "drivers" in the kernal? Perhaps using a different, or going back to a stock kernal.
I was having a similar issue with my phone not automatically connecting with my car. It would connect if I cycled BT off then on. All this on Tasks 4.1 rom & KT's kernal.
Flashed with the new 4.2 rom & kernal and it seems to be fixed.
Just curious, did the OP ever try a factory reset? I'm on Blackjelly, which is a ROM heavily based on AT&T stock JB and I have no issues with my Bluetooth whatsoever. However, I do have the KT747 kernel installed, which has its own set of bluetooth drivers.

I have a Verizon S3 (running stock) and the same problem is happening. I've even tried a factory reset but that doesn't seem to have helped although I'm still testing it (need to go drive for a while). My car is a 2010 Audi A4. I've spoken to both Samsung and Audi and both tell me it's not their problem. I'm hoping Samsung updates the phone with a backwards compatible BT driver or Audi upgrades their driver. I am not happy.
EDIT: I drove some more today and bluetooth only dropped once. The strange thing is that while I am driving I only see 2 bars on my dashboard screen when the phone shows 5 bars. I would "assume" that the phone is the most accurate signal meter. In any case, everything "seems" to be working better although not as well as before.
Bluetooth in car only has voice audio, no ability to control the phone

Hi guys,
I have the same problem.
Details:
Phone: GALAXY S3 I747M
Carrier: Rogers
What happened?
Let me start by saying Bluetooth was flawless before moving to Jellybean (flawless means it would work consistently EVERY time on all featureS). Data and Voice between my Car (2010 Audi A4). I consider data the phonebook information back and fourth to the car, the ability for the car to control my device (make calls, end calls, switch calls) and the number of bars for reception.
I upgraded to Jellybean, then stuff wouldn't work (Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, wifi, etc.), so I tried a few roms (I would factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache, format /system EACH time I swapped ROM's). Unable to get anything to work consistently with everything. I downgraded to 4.0.4 (Using the WanamLite ICS SGH-I747 V1.3 Android 4.0.4 ROM).
Everything started working again! EXCEPT Bluetooth. It connects with no problems, but it seems like it's only the voice part, the data part (as decribed above) doesn't...I can tell by not seeing any information go back and fourth between call logs and the wrong number of bars for reception, it's like the connection is jumbled.
Unfortunately, it's inconsistent to around 50% of the time, sometimes it DOES work.
Voice/audio through phone calls work ALL the time. IF someone calls, the car recognizes it and the audio mic and through speakers work...but the car doesn't realize it's happening enough to give me options (like ending the call from the car).
This only happened once I went from Jellybean and then went back....not sure what's happened...
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance!

It's a know JB problem. No solution right now
Ironically, I had the same exact bluetooth problem the OP describes, but it happened with my stock ICS ROM. Made trying to call someone extremely frustrating since I have a stickshift!
The problem disappeared with my upgrade to the 4.1.1 stock ROM. I have also had no issues at all with any 4.1.2 JB custom ROM.
I believe it is a generalized issue with Android, because the problem I had with ICS was not reproducible when using a different bluetooth headset. Only my own would cause the problem. As soon as I realized that the problem no longer existed in 4.1, I began using my own headset again, and have done so without a single dropped call.

Thanks, but just for clarification. It was working on JB perfectly. I upgraded to ICS, thats when bluetooth with my car stopped working (with a number of other things). So i downgraded BACK to JB (stock rom) and I still have the same problem.
It's almost like the data side of the connection is all jumbled up....did ICS leave something on my phone (I did a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache, format /system when switching back).
So I feel like it wasn't a JB problem it was an ICS problem, but reverting back to JB didn't fix the problem, so I feel like ICS left something on there that the old rom didn't overwrite. Any files I should be checking to ensure that isn't the case?
Thanks a lot!

Umm just to clarify, firmware goes like this (in order): Eclair, Froyo, GB, ICS, JB. So JB is the latest.
Here's a JB fix for BT: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28275651/REVERT-MY-ALSA.zip
Flash it in recovery, clear cache and dalvik and hopefully it will work.
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.
