Hi,
I have a bluetooth phone in my car, when I first connected the HTC Desire HD up, it had no problems, it paired and everything looked fine... around 10 minutes later, I noticed the bluetooth had simply disconnected from the car but was still running on the phone. I tried to reconnect it up to the car but it wouldn't, I then turned it off, and turned it back on.. it struggled to come back on, but after a few attempts it did come on and the car connected again...
About 5 minutes later the same thing happened again. At this point my phone started to really slow down, I looked in watchtower and the bluetooth was at the top of the list, soon as I turned off bluetooth the phone was responding fine again.
I have since tried connecting to the car multiple more times and have contacted HTC about it, but it seems to disconnect at random times.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I heard of similar problems with the original desire so wondering whether it could be something similar.

Hi Kev,
I am having similar problems with my Desire HD and Audi in car bluetooth system. I posted on another forum and found others were finding the same...
I pair my phone and within couple of minutes the phone has disconnected and won't re-connect.
Not found any definitive answer as yet, but seems BT in this phone isn't so good. Also read a post saying HTC were aware of this but an update wouldn't be available for sometime.
Hopefully someone else can shed some light!

I also noticed this the last few days with my Bury CC9056 carkit. I have my DHD since October 18th, and up till last friday it connected fine. Since then it connects to the carkit, but within a few seconds the connection is lost...

Me too. My connection to my Jabra car kit is stable once connected... but trying to get it connected in the first place is a total headache.
Never had this problem with my Desire, so why HTC should change the Bluetooth function in the HD is a mystery.

tbh i'm glad its not just me thats experiencing problems meaning it could be a software problem rather than something with my handset in particular.
I have been in touch with HTC about this, and I have just sent them the link to this thread so they can see i'm not the only one with this issue, so if anyone else has this issue it may be good to try and keep it all in here.

Mines also the audi in car system - do you find that you struggle to turn the bluetooth off and on again once it disconnects or that your phone becomes a little laggy until you turn the bluetooth off?
Yeah - I use the bluetooth widget on the home screen and once it disconnects, it will either take ages to turn off and on again, or it takes 2 presses to turn off.
I have just purchased a Plantronics 230 headset as need bluetooth for my job and it works perfectly - it's no where near the quality of the in car one though.
Also booked in my Audi as it's still under warranty - spoke to them on the phone and they said they will try and update the firmware but the Desire HD isn't on their supported phone list. Have seen a copy of this and not many phones are!!
I would of thought though, that as long as the phone does connect to the phone system in the car that it is compatible.
I have had 30mins once out of it before it disconnected and it was absolutely perfect in that time, including the phone book etc.
I do believe its something to do with the bluetooth on the phone as its a bit strange the way it struggles to turn on again once it fails.

That really hacks me off. I mean, BT is a standard. The only reason Audi can give for not supporting a phone that supports at least the same level of BT as them is that they (Audi) do not adhere to the BT standard.
Now, we all know in real life that cars and phones have problems/bugs/whatever BUT unless they can show that there is indeed a *bug* with the phone then the onus should be on Audi to support it.
Dave
Just for the record, it is not just Audi. With me it is together with the Bury carkit, where it first worked fine. (and also works with all other phones...)

I can confirm the issues with the BT. I have a parrot Mki9000 in my car and the first time when i tried to connect the DHD , the phone stopped to respond and I was forced to restart it. Since then the phone is paired with the car kit and works fine in a2dp mode for playing music, but when i try to make a call it simply not work. Yo better discribe the problem I will give an example:
The phone i properly connected and playing music, then it's ringing, but the ring sound is coming from the phone speaker not from the car. Then If i answer the call the sound comes from the phone (it shows that there is connection to the car kit). I've tried to press the speaker icon and there is a list with output devices (the phone, loudspeaker, and my car kit) I've tried to select the car kit several times , but there was no success. When I close the phone the music start to play from my car's BT system , so I think there is a problem with the handsfree function/protocol only a2dp works great , and I didn't have any issues with it. Also I've tried file transfer via BT, it works fine two.
Mitsubish Outlander carkit
I can confirm the same issue with the Mitsubish outlander carkit. It even happens that it drops the conversation. sometimes it's ok for half an hour, sometimes it disconnects after 1-2 minutes.
I also have a Jabra (bluetooth) headphone and noticed that if you pick up a call on the phone the sounds doesn't route to the headphone. If I pickup on the headphone it works fine.

I have a Pioneer head unit with BT in the car and that seems to work OK, not withstanding the fact that the HU has BT issues of its own (hardware fix needed - I'll get a new unit rather than fix it as I want one with A2DP) but once connected it works fine.
I have a Plantronics headset that seems to exhibit the same problems as your Jabra. At least if I use the phone to answer the call the sound comes through the phone. Also, if I have been using the headset the next call I make goes through the phone speaker which is a pain.
I'm wondering if HTC are routing the sound through the device that's actually *controlling* the call? So even if a headset is paired and connected to the phone, if you use the phone to make the call, as most people would, then it assumes that that's where the sound should get routed. If so, doh .....!!!!!
Just to add, if the sound does get routed to the phone you can use the 'choose speaker' option on the screen to route it to the headset but you shouldn't have to do this.
Anyone reported these issues to HTC and got a meaningful response?
Dave
I did send an email to HTC. Their wonderfull answer was about: "is your phone mentionned in the compatabilylist of the carkit, if not drop the problem there"...
I am still waiting for a response from HTC.
Mines got to a point now where I cant even make a call, it connects to the car, I go through phone book (on car) choose person to call, press call.. it tries for a couple of seconds then comes up disconnected, about 10 seconds later the phone disconnects from the car and will nto reconnect.
My phone then lags like mad until I turn bluetooth off which according to watch tower is taking up about 80% of the CPU.
any updates/solution to all these problems ?
I need it to work with MW600 before buying Desire HD
Last contact I had with HTC is they told me it had been escalted to the software team, so i'm guessing next time a software update comes out it could come about in that, but at the minute no still not fixed.

I've always thought that that's the way it is on all BT headset phones, it makes sense, if the incoming call was for my girlfriend, she can answer from the phone itself, and it automatically routes this through the phones speaker, and if it was answered from the headset, then it routes to the headset.. makes sense to me, I think it's quite good that it does that!
Do any of you have the process com.android.phone crashing when making a phone call through BT?
Ditto my mitsubishi outlander factory bt system. Seemed to work fine first time but then disconnected during first call and would not reconnect for days. Then after connecting not all functions would work ...no incoming call alert on car system, no dialling from car etc. I know the car system is fine as all functions work perfectly with my old nokia xpress music.

I trust that all of you bother to report this to HTC, at least once per instance ?
- otherwise I don't know when they'll fix this..
Bluetooth appears to be broken on my Galaxy Nexus I can discover other bluetooth devices fine, and they can discover the Nexus, and pairing appears to be successful from either direction. But as soon as I try to connect/transfer a file immediately I get a notification on the Nexus saying 'connection unsuccessful', 'transfer cancelled by user' (when I didn't cancel anything!) etc.
I've tried this with three different devices (my old HTC Desire, my wife's HTC Legend and my MacBook Pro) with the same results on all three.
Has anyone else run into similar problems, or does this sound like I've got a faulty unit and should send it back? Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this any further? (I've not rooted the phone and its running the stock Android 4 ROM).
I wish I had an answer; just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday; it won't pair with any of my bluetooth(s) -- they were all working fine in my Droid so I know how to pair. Any suggestions? Help!! Thanks
After further investigation, it seems it's just outgoing connections that don't work on mine. I can transfer files from other devices to the GN fine, just can't transfer from the GN to any other devices. Haven't tried connecting to a headset or anything like that as I don't have one.
I asked an acquaintance who also owns a GN to test it out on theirs and they experienced exactly the same thing - everything works ok except for outgoing connections/transfers.
I'm wondering if its a software bug if that's the case. If it were hardware related you'd have thought the whole bluetooth thing would be broken.
FWIW: I have been able to pair and connect via bluetooth with my car, with no problem. Downloaded my phonebook to my car via bluetooth as well.
Bt phonebook pairing
I'm having BT issues as well with my G-Nex on Verizon. Will connect/pair with my car, works for making/receiving phone call audio, but will not synch the contact list. Thus, cannot use voice dial in my car (Nissan).
Have searched all over the internet, no real answers. Tried to disable the existing bluetooth PBAPservice as suggested somewhere else - no dice, and it just restarts itself anyway. I've seen some suggestion about rooting the phone and replacing the PBAPservice which may be my next step. Hate to root a phone this new when I may end up returning it if I can't make this work ... sorta a deal breaker for me.
Anyone have any suggestions? Could my phone just be defective? Seems like there are a number of BT issues around, but I can't find anything "official" acknowledging the issue(s) ..
Thanks ...
I'm having a problem with my new GNex bluetooth as well. I'm using a Blackberry Stereo Gateway (an A2DP adapter) in my car and it -does- work, but only after I toggle bluetooth off and back on again. That's kinda annoying.
Previously I had been using an Incredible and it was working fine.
Having problems with Bluetooth as well. I have a BlueFusion unit installed in my car. Worked perfectly fine with my Droid X. Every time I got in the car, it just connected and calls and music both played over the stereo fine. Got my Galaxy Nexus paired and it worked great. However, whenever I get back in the car and the Galaxy Nexus reconnects, the audio does not work. It says it's connected, it plays with no audio coming out of the phone or the car speakers though. Tried re-pairing, no go. Tried bluetooth on/off, no go. The only way to get it to work, is to reboot the phone every time I get in the car.

Does A2DP work properly? And what sort of bluetooth device are you pairing with?
Same here, sending files works, receiving doesn't. Pairing with my bt headset also works fine....

I had this problem when I fist boot the Nexus and after the first boot of the update to 4.0.1. Reboot the phone, re-pairing the devices and everything is fine since then.

I can't even get my Nexus to pair with my car (Kufatec FISCON unit for Volkswagen). Just straight up error "unable to pair" when I try it. :/
And I have a problem as well. I did get it to pair with my PC but I can't send any files from my PC to Nexus (it works fine with Desire).
I have two Nexus (one is my wife's) and both car have Blackberry Bluetooth Gateways in them. In both cases I am seeing the same issue as the OP, the bluetooth will not connect automatically. However if I manually power on the bluetooth on the phone when the gateway is in connecting mode than they will connect. I never had a problem like this with previous phones.
Is there a official way to inform Samsung of this issue?
I'm also having problems with bluetooth on my Galaxy Nexus. I wanted to transfer files via bluetooth from my old Incredible 2 to my new Galaxy Nexus and it just wouldn't work.
Edit: A reboot appears to have fixed the problem.

I have this same issue exactly - and had this issue after a System Update on my Droid Incredible for a few weeks before I ended up buying the Galaxy Nexus. I had hoped the new phone wouldn't have this issue. Anyways, it also seems to happen when I take a phone call.
Scenario: I'm listening to music over bluetooth to my bluetooth audio enabled headunit in my car. I receive a phone call, and toggle the bluetooth off so I can take the call privately over my phone's earpiece. When the call is finished, I toggle the bluetooth back on and the phone will connect - however the music is playing, but no audio comes through the phone nor the speakers of my car.
I started having this -exact- scenario issue when System Updates started rolling out for Droid Incredible, and they added the options for "Phone Audio" and "Media Audio" under the bluetooth options. Before these System Updates, my Droid Incredible had worked perfectly with bluetooth audio in my car.

I am having similar problems with both my car's BT phone and BT audio.The phone through my car gets terrible static until I stop and start Bluetooth again, which is dangerous on the highway.
I hope it can be fixed with a little software update.
I have the same problem with new nexus galaxy, pairs well with car bluetooth audio, can hear a confirmation beep on car speakers but no luck in the phone. It just stays on paired but not connected. It doesnt allow to remove pairing and redo it untill rebooting the device.
I'm also having issues with the bluetooth audio in my car. I pair okay with my Sony Xplod head unit, then when I turn off the car and reconnect, the GN starts playing music through the internal speaker instead of the car speakers.
I'm having the previously mentioned A2DP issue as well. Everything connects fine but occasionally, no audio is heard via the deck in my car. Phone calls via bluetooth work, just no A2DP audio.
For those having this same problem, you can fix issue by toggling airplane mode on and off. This is quicker than rebooting (which also fixes the issue).
This has to be a bug. I'm running 4.01. Anyone having the same issue with 4.02/4.03?

Yes. I just got mine last night...ran some errands today. Paired fine in my car, can make and receive calls through the car's audio system, but no sound. I'm running 4.02. Tried this with my BT headphones and the same thing happens.
The airplane mode trick works, however. Thanks!
Hopefully this will get fixed rather quickly!
My Note connects to my car (2014 Nissan Altima) but it does not work properly.
My Galaxy S3 worked perfectly fine. The music played, titles of songs showed, calling and phone book features worked, and connected every time automatically. Now it is a completely different story with the Note 4. At first the only problem was that the titles or any information about the song did not show up on the dash. But now I can't even make a call. Even if I manually go into my phone and call someone I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The only thing that works is the music plays through the speakers.
Is anyone else having this problem or, most importantly, know a solution?
I posted about this too, I have the exact same problem in 3 different cars from 2008 all the way to 2015 and everyone says to try and update the cars firmware for the new bluetooth but that did not help. The funny thing is, I had it working fine for a bit then out of the blue it just stopped and now the phone acts like my stereo is a bluetooth headset.

I am having the same issue with my Note 4. My truck has the Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth. With my Note 2 and my wife's S5 i can make a receive calls with no problem. With my Note 4 I can play music over bluetooth, but if I try to make or receive a call I can't hear the person on the other end and they cannot hear me. With one exception. I have found that if I was listening to music over bluetooth then I can make/receive calls with no issues, as long as I let the phone app stop the music playback.
It is driving me crazy.
Note 4 bluetooth issues
I am having issues with the bluetooth on my Porsche PCM when on calls it sounds like there is a bunch of paddles prattling for a few seconds every 10 t0 20 seconds and then the call will sometimes drop. Any ideas?
Hopefully some new firmware in the future can fix these silly problems

So I think I may have found a work around. This morning I went into the bluetooth settings on my phone and I unchecked the Call Audio box and the Media Audio box for my truck. I exited settings. Then went back to settings and checked the boxes. After that my bluetooth worked perfectly for calls and media.

Mine worked with this work around one time. Then back to the old situation. I have a Note 4 and am driving a 2014 Nissan Altima. I'm hoping that with the new Lollipop 5.0 update coming out to the Note 4 that it will be resolved. We shall see. It's very annoying. My old S4 worked flawlessly in my car.

I have the same pairing issues in my 2011 Kia Soul - it will pair fine and work - until I shut the car. Then it is a constant pairing failed. If I stop and unpair and re-pair it works again - until I shut the car.
Check under Bluetooth for your car, hit the settings icon next to it, is call and media checked?

have had the same problem intermittently on my Ford Edge with My Sync connects fine once then the next time connects but wont answer calls or volume drops, only solution i have found is to unpair the device forget it and start over (this happened with my S5 on android 4.4.4 as well)
To disable it... Just long press the icon (in the app tray) and drag it to the top... There is an option I believe 3rd from left that allows you to disable it....I disable all the bloatware I don't use.... I didn't disable smart remote thinking I would use it....
How did I figure out that would work.... I have no clue... But I was having the pairing failed every single time I got in the car... Had to unpair and remove device every time.... After disabling... Haven't had an issue once...

new Ford Edge and same thing paired and worked once using this fix then back to same ol' crap.
I too tried this method of disabling the smart remote but did not have any favorable results. I have tried to sync my phone to two different vehicles and will not even sync one time. Tried on a Ford Sync system and on a 2013 Altima with no success. This is the oh problem I have had with this phone and it is driving me nuts! If any good fixes are found please post for those of us who are having this vehicle Bluetooth problems. Take care.

Nissan 370Z, no bluetooth connection issues with me. Every once in a while after start up, the initial song title doesnt show on the screen, but once it goes to the next track it's fine. Note 3 never had that issue.
My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
Any and all suggestions would be great. Also right now I am on rooted stock 5.0.1
PS: I will try and post some photos to help when I get the chance to get to my car.
I've been start for a solution to this since the phone came out as well. I have the same Bluetooth issues with my phone in my car. Nothing more annoying than having to turn Bluetooth on and off for 10-15 minutes of your drive before you can use the damn thing. Oh wait, more annoying would be when it's been working for a solid 45 minutes or so and then suddenly, with no warning, the Bluetooth connection ends for no reason and your cars stereo comes on instead of what you were streaming only the volume on the cars radio is far louder and it scares the ever living crap out of you

Odd....I dont seem to have that issue. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music.
In the car I don't get a lot of skipping. But when connected to my BT speakers audio does skip a lot and starts playing in ffw then disconnects completely. It's driving me nuts. I've tried all the usual trouble shooting also. No help. Wtf Samsung/Google

pixel 3 xl is not playing well with my BMW 323i 2010 bluetooth call system.
When i get a call the ringtone comes through the car speakers. Then when i accept the call there is no more audio through the car audio system.
i tried unpair and reparing and same issue.
my original pixel xl works fine.
any idea? any1 having similar issue?
I have a 2013 328i, and this is the first phone I've had since the Nexus 6 that actually works well with it for music. I always had problems with the Bluetooth freezing.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
sometimes telling the assistant to play music will get it to play nice if it is still paired just not sending audio. but for phone calls, thats weird
Did some troubleshooting today.
So after connecting the call if I manually select phone on the pixel3 and then switch to car audio Bluetooth then it starts working.
But it doesnt start automatically when the call connects.
I will log it with Google and hope for a fix.
Thanks guys.
Try resetting the cache for the Bluetooth app in the app manager in settings (You have to tun on system apps to see it)
2013 BMW 328i, never had an issue with any other phone, seems at random call audio will stop working over Bluetooth in the car and the only remedy is to reboot the phone. Have tried everything with no solution.

yep, my issue still not fixed and making me crazy.
1 thing i am gonna try today is that disconnecting p3xl from my samsung gear s3 and see how it works while only connected to bmw's audio. if that does not work then i will send this phone back.
it is insane how many software issue this phone has.
Argh, same thing with my 2011 128i. NEVER had a single problem with my Pixel 1 XL, got the 3 XL a few days ago. Today I need to make a call in the car, pair the phone and... no audio. In fact I think it was still playing music, even though it showed "Connected". I have the "Professional" audio system; ie: the simple one. Not with the big display etc, iDrive I think it is.
Could you let me know the bug ID you logged and I'll star it and participate in it with logs etc as they request them? I don't make a lot of calls in the car but I often drive into work listening to conference calls so this is seriously annoying.
My two bluetooth headsets work fine, so it doesn't appear to be a overall issue with bluetooth headset audio etc. I might try it in my wifes car just to see if it works there, for more datapoints too.
Very, very odd... I read a suggestion to boot into safe mode and connect the phone to the car and that worked, everything is fine now. What's stranger, to me anyway, is that it continues to work fine! But as odd as it sounds, this is something to try.
