lol, thanks. Actually i was hoping an answer from anyone having problems.

I was having them quite often, figured out it was only when I had DSP manager or Awesome beats installed AND set to modify the bluetooth sound. Not sure if this is your case or not but thought I would chime in. To fix I just unchecked ALL options under bluetooth then unpaired. (Turn off BT go into BT on phone, unpair, turn BT on phone off, reboot phone) then I repaired and no more disconnects.

I've been having this problem with my Sony head unit and GN. It takes a couple tries for a2dp to connect and will randomly disconnect. Happened on ICS too.
Stock rooted.

I got lots of disconnections from my car audio system.
My heart rate monitor and nokia head set disconnects too much. Over 5 times in one hour.

My wife's GN also disconnects from her Kenwood head unit. Far less frequently than mine, but it happens. I'm surprised more people haven't chimed in on this issue. My dad just got his GN yesterday so I'll check his tonight to see if it too suffers from this problem.

at least i am not the only one with problems. Since i never tested bluetooth in stock ICS i thought it could be some hardware problem. But apparently other people have too ...

I had no such issues. I use it with a Plantronic 925 and a Gear4 BT stereo speaker, none if them working differently than they did on ICS.

I haven't had problems with Bluetooth audio. When I use Bluetooth File Transfer between my Xoom and Gnex, I can view my Xoom's file system from my GNex. When I try to view my Gnex file system, I get a an error message saying the Nexus does not support OBEX FTP, which it should. Not a big deal but it is a nuisance.

I am gonna test this !

i notice Bluetooth issues when connected to my motorcycle helmet.
using stock or other custom roms it will start to cut out or skip when i put the phone in my pocket and at highway speed it loses connection completely.
when using cm10 "official not the kangs" it has no issue whatsoever and the connection distance is improved 20x. i can have the phone 20 meters away and it still stays connected and even at highway speeds.

CM10 = Cyanogenmod Version 10. It is the first Jelly Bean Rom from Cyanogenmod. There are many threads on the topic but you can also find information on their site.
The official nightly releases of this version has just been released for the VZW and Sprint Galaxy Nexus as well as other devices.

[Q] Bluetooth data tethering

Ok so I've been looking around and havent found any answers yet so here goes nothing!
Today, I received an item called a "I'm Watch", if you havent heard about it its basically a "smartwatch" it uses a bluetooth connection to provide handsfree calling as well as other data services, my problem is that I can't get my S3 to tether data via bluetooth. I have rooted and have a custom ROM on it so I don't mind flashing software that would enable this feature but I've tried just about every BT tether app on the Play store, the biggest problem I run into with those is that the client (the watch) needs to have some software as well which is not possible. I hope this makes sense to someone and I hope someone can help me out! Thanks in advanced everyone!

Try foxfi. It has an option to tether via Bluetooth and doesn't require any other software.

[Q] Phone call audio switches back to handset from bluetooth

I've had bluetooth headsets forever and this problem is killing me!
Currently running CleanRom AT&T SE3.0 but also had the problem with his 4.9 international version, using I317UCAMA4 for the radio. Headset is Jawbone ERA.
What started happening recently is that I'll answer/make a call on the headset and randomly it'll switch audio back to the phone, either . I'll suddenly realize it's happened and look at the dialer which shows that it's still going to bluetooth. I can listen to bluetooth audio streaming and it never happens, only on phone calls.

I had this issue b4, but changed Bluetooth earpieces already!! Using Q3 and the Plantronics Legend...
But I'm thinking you may have to delete the Bluetooth paired link. And try re- pairing it too the phone again.. it helped me once!!

Found out that it seems to be a common problem with Jawbone...a software update at some point may have been the culprit or not, either way, no resolution.

Yeah, there's only one update and most people are claiming that's what started a multitude of problems. I already updated a long time ago.
On the other hand, I tested with a older Blueant Z9i I had laying around and discovered the same problem which points it back to the ROM or radio, I'm not sure which. I'm currently running CleanROM ATT SE3.0 and UCAMA4 for the radio. UCAMA4 is the most current radio right? It was happening on CleanROM 4.9 and the previous radio as well though so I'm pretty confused.

Here's the latest MODEM UCAMC3:

That might help your problem!!
Don't think it's Rom related tho. If you want to try something similar to clean Rom with a few added features, look here. Same thing I'm running NOW!! Skynote 9

4.1.2 bluetooth MAP on 4.3?

So, I updated to 4.3 and now my focus is having problems with bluetooth. It used to work perfectly before the update but now the metadata of the song doesn't update on the radio and some other things like texts don't come through like they used to.
Simply put, is there a way to get the old bluetooth "stuff" into 4.3 or is that baked in?

I was just studying the BT issues and I found out all phones with 4.2 or greater has BT problems across the board.
Can you just copy-paste BT files? I don't know.
But its a common issue.

That's what I aim to find out... I'm tempted to just go back to a 4.1.2 ROM but meh...

No, I agree about staying with 4.3. I'm sure Google will release a fix or a clever xda member will get it.

Bump, still looking for info :laugh:

Can you explain what are the exact problems you experiencing with BT.
Because I'm not getting any atm! Just curious is to what's not working and what is...

Sounds like he isn't getting song info and text messages on his car's head unit when connected to the phone through BT on a 4.3 ROM.
Me, I just get choppy playback.

Pretty much. I used to be able to see what was playing. I used to be able to control pandora (pause/skip) but that no longer works either. I also do not get notifications like texts anymore.

Quoting you too so you get a notification,
Edit: quote from a verizon thread:
Just so everyone is aware, this is due to the whole Motorola/Google ownership change. In previous versions of Android, Motorola sourced their own protocols for their products, and included MAP in their bluetooth profiles. Since the Jelly Bean update, they've used Google's own Bluetooth protocols, in which MAP was omitted.
is this true? Surely not, how would it have worked on 4.1.2?
Edit again:
http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ocus-feature-bluetooth-map-now-supported.html
Says kitkat supports MAP again............. may just get a kitkat rom even though I'd rather stick to stock TW.....

Well, I updated to 4.4 ........... still no go

[Q] Is anyone else having GPS issues?

I'm running rooted, stock with stock kernel and my GPS signal won't get a lock. I can't use Nav or get my precise location in Maps either. I tried to reset my GPS data as well as download AGPS files, but neither proved successful. Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

yesterday mine wouldnt work at all. today it was really choppy..meaning the blue arrow jumped while driving instead of moving with me. denton, texas

Yes. Are you on 4.4.2? GPS is a known bug on 4.4.2, and 4.4.3 is supposed to fix it.

Unless they're labeled as updated or are 4.4.3, I would assume not.

just a tip, try downloading waze app and see if that fixes it!

I've had no troubles with this phone, but on my gs2 when I did I used a program from play store called "topntp" that worked wonders for getting a GPS fix.

There are no 4.4.3 ROMs from what I have looked at and if there were, none were TW, stock. Tried the app the previous post mentioned and had no luck with it. Using Waze isn't a solution to the problem, simply a workaround and I hate the UI of Waze, which is why I use Maps instead. There has to be a fix for this issue. I've ordered a replacement device in the meantime.

4.4.3 has not been released yet so there will not be any ROMs using it yet.

So what is a fix for the issue?

I don't seem to have the problem for what I use the phone for, but then I don't use navigate often. I do use one of the AGPS updater (can't recall which one at the moment) and I do get a good lock fairly quickly (under 4s).
If there really is an issue however, the fix is in the updated Android 4.4.3 release which as already stated has not yet been released. So there is no "fix".

Just sayin, it is a little better then the main apps page like live updates which includes traffice, the actual time youll get to your destination, accidents, and so on.....your probably the first one that doesnt likes waze......you did ask for a fix......i had the same issue with mine on non-rooted and rooted devices and thats the reason why i use waze, it gets the job done better then the main navi app. but it might be a faulty equipment, get it swapped but note that it will be a refurbished device

Waiting for the next update and hope it would be fixed.

I'm on DarthStalker v6 4.3 and I've been having GPS issues. Try downloading the app GPS status and running it. Every now and then I'll use it and it gets a lock on the satellites quickly.
