I haven't seen anyone post anything about bluetooth issues but I've been having one so annoying, everything was fine until I installed a a2dp app so that whenever I got in my car Pandora started. It started having this issue where about every minute it would disconnect and then 30 seconds later connect again. It will do this over and over and over again. So I un installed the app and still the problem persists, I made the phone forget the car and then sync again but nope. The only way to actually get it to stay connected is when I'm in the car having the issue to restart the phone and then it works until I turn off the car. When this issue is going on I get the bluetooth share has stopped or whatever, I Googled that but the methods I saw didn't work for me. Things like deleting the cache and data for bluetooth share. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Your cars bluetooth probably isn't compatible with the note 3 ... bluetooth isn't as compatible as people think

I've been meaning to start a ***** thread about Bluetooth and the fact that Samsung is still putting out devices with low bitpool settings.
Music sounds terrible through my Bluetooth. I have no idea why.ibalways end up running some kind of cyanogenmod because of how ****ty music sounds over Bluetooth. It's really frustrating...

You are not searching enough as I posted about Bluetooth just about 6 hours ago. If it is any consolation, my music players pauses too somewhat erratically sometimes. I need to press the pause button to get it to play again.
Try flashing the newest saber kernel, I heard it's been helping some with Bluetooth issues, it doesn't help with Pandora avrcp though, Pandora will still crash bluetooth if your Pandora is modded avrcp.
i have an issue with bluetooth and google maps navigation. Seems like the instructions are not always read aloud over the speakers. The music will pause and there will be a silence but no vocal instructions. Sometimes it will pause playing music and I will only vocally get the end of the driving instruction. I'm using power amp for playing music but I noticed it is exactly the same using other players. I confirmed this on 3 att note 3's and 1 tmobile note 3. Any one else?
I have my Note 3 connected to my iO Play and it connects fine. The audio is also good without the problems described from the OP.
I don't use Pandora but I have used YouTube, Play Music, Digitally Imported or internal music and it has never disconnected.
When you disconnected the bluetooth, do you do it on the phone end or your bluetooth end? Try removing the pair on your bluetooth end.
Mine connects fine to my stereo. Music, YouTube, everything. Maybe it's your stereo.

I don't know how to unpair off car, it's a 2013 subaru brz. But it did work fine at one point when I first got it. ........
Music sounds great through BT and my Pioneer stereo.
1 gripe is it doesn't access my phone book. I think Pioneer has a BT SW upgrade for stereo that may help.
I use IheartRadio all the time sounds better than HD Radio IMHO.
Depends on the car. Check your dealer for software update to the Bluetooth in car. Just be prepared to pay for a hour labor charge if ur car is out of warranty.

Hate to say it but it may be the stereo in the car. I'm having the same issues in my BRZ as well. It worked fine for a few days but now it's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. I have the stock radio still. My S3 worked flawlessly.
Looks like I may have an excuse to spring for that new head unit I was looking at.
Listen mates, Galaxy S4 BT was perfect did all on my car, Note 3 BT does audio only. What gives?

It works if I restart but not always and it's a hassle. We shouldn't have to spend a couple hundred on a unit to fix this though.........

Anybody have bluetooth experience with Ford Sync. I have a 2010 Fusion, my Galaxy Nexus works great with it, but I'm eyeing a Note 3. BT is an important feature for me, so this is critical.
Mine works great in my Toyota Tundra with the factory Jul stereo. I select Bluetooth for audio. It starts playing the last song that was on from the Google Music app. When I have Wade or Google Maps Nav on, it plays that audio over the music. Can also play YouTube or any other audio from the phone through Bluetooth.

I AGREE WITH YOU borrow someone elses phone or flash a different rom and see if results change. it could be the phone acting up
I figured out a little something!!!!
I unpaired the phone right, then when the car asks for map and contacts and all that I put decline or no, whatever it is and now it doesn't disconnect!!!!
I'm listening to the internet radio on my Note 3. Used it with the mini 3.5 mm cable first, then found the menu in my car media center to hook it up via BT. Got everything connected seems to work fine the sound quality via BT is much better that via the cable.
HOWEVER BT connection between the phone and radio randomly disconnects for no particular reason (I have it set to connect automatically as soon as the ignition is turned on) and every time it connects it starts playing the Samsung tune or whatever music theme even on the top of the radio music.
What could be causing that?
My touchscreen clarion does it to as far as the disconnects go, and music playing through the default Google player vs my player pro.. As for disconnecting, mine just have a issue connecting off hand but best way is make sure the player in the car is turned on with bt enabled and then turn on the phones bt and press play after the connection is made, shouldn't have any disconnects
As for the playing, if it's the same as what mine used to do, I'd free one of the players and keep the main one you use that way nothing plays but what you want.
Hope that helped any..

Yes this is what I do. As soon as as ignition is on BT connects, and the stupid Samsung tune ("over the horizon" according to my car audio system) starts playing in the car by default. I have to go into phone menu and pause that and then start the radio. And then it starts disconnecting the BT so I have to do all those things again (this time while driving)...

Sounds like something with your cars receiver doing like a auto play type deal once connected. The phone wouldnt have a way of playing automatically without being told to.. id check the receiver and see if it has something about auto and changing it to manual, the only thing that should be auto is the pair
I connect my Note 3 to my Kenwood deck daily. Its a bit different scenario but I have no issues with BT streaming at all. It connects automatically and waits for me to switch to Pandora or BT streaming. When connected it stays connected and doesn't skip. I think the phone can be solid with the right receiving device.
The only issue I do have is that the microphone doesn't work when people call me. Works fine if I call them.
I have had zero issues on 2 different Toyota vehicles using the factory audio system with Bluetooth. Phone and media (music) connects. Music only starts playing when I select BT on my stereo. No issues. Probably something with how your car's system is setup.

BT connection issue
I have a question for you guys, up until recently last week I had been using my stock note 3 with my 2013 kia optima bluetooth radio but last week it started only connecting to the phone audio ive tried pairing and repairing but only the phone audio connects no media audio, ive tried going into the settings and checking the media audio box but it will only flash for a little and not connect any idea on what it may be or how I can fix it? Thanks

Is there a menu in your car for audio/media/Bluetooth settings? On Toyota, they have a menu for BT Audio devices where you can connect.

Just wanted to post this set-up because it works pretty smoothly:
picture link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4K7YJ77a6K4N1hyRUo4VXM4Q3c/edit?usp=sharing
This box basically creates a wifi network and then sends (lossless) audio out via an 1/8 in. audio output:
http://www.amazon.com/iReceiver-Wi-Fi-Music-Receiver-Extender/dp/B00I0Z427E
I'm using Airstream (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kineticgamestudios.airtunes.android), which I've found works better than AirAudio.
I'm also running a Tasker sequence, so when the Wifi box boots up, the Nexus 5 automatically opens my music app and sets the system volume to an appropriate level.
All in all, it's pretty smooth.
I think it's worthwhile for at least two reasons: 1) you can charge your phone without getting that ugly interference with an audio cable plugged in. 2) it's much louder than the output of the nexus 5 itself, so it's basically like having an amp.
How is the audio quality compared to BT?

Bluetooth sound is highly compressed and the audio quality is slightly degraded. the advantage to wifi is that it is basically lossless.

I was looking for more of a subjective comparison. I've tried both BT and wired audio side-by-side in my car, and while I can hear a difference, it's not enough of one to convince me to give up the convenience of BT. If you've compared BT and wifi directly and find them to be dramatically different, then this solution might be perfect for me.

Well I haven't really used Bluetooth in my car for music, only for phone calls. But I would imagine that the Wifi sound quality difference would be audible. There was a noticeable difference between using the Nexus 5 headphone output into my car stereo aux input and streaming from the Nexus 5 to the AirMobi box into the same aux input. The Wifi sound was louder and had much more low-end.
I should warn you, though, that the AirMobi is configured in such a way that you can't access mobile data when you are connected to the wifi network. I don't really mind this, because incoming calls still come through; but you can't, for example, check your email while connected to the AirMobi. If having access to mobile data while streaming wifi audio is important to you, there is this option, which is more expensive and a bit clunkier, but will fix this problem:

Looks interesting.
Could you please try using the AllCast app and check if that works with this device?
I've never streamed music over wifi before, is it possible to set this as the default playback device? I'm also getting a wireless charger for my car, I'd like to be able to have the phone automatically play music over that wifi thing when it's wirelessly charging if possible.

If you have a rooted phone, you can send all phone audio via wifi using an app like AirStream or AirAudio. That's how I have it set up.

Just tested this. Yes, it works with AllCast.
I have a nexus 7 2013, and a samsung galaxy pocket. The nexus is going into my car as a head unit, and i want to know if there is an app that will let me use the phone to give voice commands to the tablet, and open or close apps. I also want to be able to control media apps through the phone to do things like switch tracks or change volume levels. The phone is going to primarily be used as a WIFI hotspot while I'm in the car, so I'm not sure if i should make a bluetooth connection for the commands, and a wifi tether for the internet, or if it all has to be done exclusively over bluetooth or wifi. Thanks.
You have your own reasons but just curious, why can't you use voice commands directly on the N7? It is tethered to your phone so it has internet access and all.
Check out this setup. I'm going to do similar setup on my IS 250.

the tablet will be in the dash, which might be fine, but i would also still have to shout over loud music and wind noise when i have the top off. If i can just hold the phone up to my face, i won't have to shout or take my eyes off of the road.

You would be using a phone whilst driving though. This is illegal in the UK, but a Bluetooth headset would do what you require and you'd have both hands free for driving

a bluetooth headset would work for that, but it would also block half of the sound coming from my stereo, and i couldn't use it to give the tablet commands like next track or volume up like i could with a remote. I'm kind of looking for a hybrid between a standard remote control, and a bluetooth headset. I need a microphone to give the tablet navigation commands, and perform tasks that would be complicated while driving, and a remote to give it simple commands like volume up or next track without taking my eyes off of the road. The phone itself is small and could probably be mounted to my steering wheel like a steering wheel control.
A clip on Bluetooth mic and a Bluetooth remote mounted on the steering wheel might be a way to go?
I would tether the tablet to the phone via Wifi for the Internet connection.

I want to know if its possible to pair some bluetooth headphones with the fire tv since it does have bluetooth? I would be nice to be able to watch a movie using bluetooth headphones with the unit. Only makes sense that this should be a feature.

Yes if you install the Android Settings.apk you can make the FireTV pair with bluetooth audio devices. However with both devices I tried, a headset and a speaker, there's horrendous audio lag that makes it basically unusable. I guess I'll just wait for official support from Amazon.

Have you used the audio offset feature to correct the lag ? I had to use it to correct the lag while using my Ouya and a Bluetooth enabled powered PA speaker.

There's a good chance the next update will come June 18th when Amazon reveals their smartphone. I would expect the Fire TV will need to be updated in order to interact with the phone.

It's not a constant lag on the firetv, lag increases the longer you play something.
All you need to do is connect a USB Bluetooth receiver that often comes with the headphones and pair it with that directly. Get a multi-USB hub so you can connect various other things to it also. I'm using everything with the USB port like air mouses etc. and all work perfectly and it doesn't require any settings or rooting.
where to get a working settings.apk ?
I used settings.apk to pair my headphones. Music plays just fine. However playing an .mkv video thru XBMC-Kodi did not work at all. I just got really loud static -- I guess there was a problem with the dts audio. Knowing there was an audio lag anyway, I didn't mess with the XBMC setting to downmix.
Cross posting from the bigger thread...
I successfully paired my bluetooth headset using settings.apk method - thanks!
However - Bluetooth only puts audio out of my headset for SIDELOADED apps - but not apps from FireTV's app sources, i.e. NETFLIX. (I even confirmed by installing NETFLIX and sideloading NETFLIX - audio comes out differently ...)
Does anyone else experience this?

Why is Bluetooth working so well wire AFTV now? Not complaining, just wondering.
