Hello all, I am new to the GS3 but not the Galaxy line i have had the Captivate Infuse, S2 Skyrocket before this one. I spent a good 95% of the time on Cyanogen Mod on all but the Infuse.
I have a question about Bluetooth and connecting automatically, I know on CM9 and 10 (i cant remember before then) when you turn BT on it automatically connects to what ever device you are paired that is in range. Is there not a way to make that work with the stock 4.1.1 ROM?
There are a few features that the TW 4.1.1 has that i am getting really used to and i really did not want to go to CM just yet. but this one issue might very well me the deal breaker for me.
I am running DLK3 and the only mod other than rooted is the Google wallet unlocker and 23 toggles (also on the 23 toggle it does not pop up with a list of paired devices like it does with the stock toggle, but if it will just connect then i really don't care to see the list)
any help would be awesome, i have done some searching but most of what i found was about audio quality streaming a car stereo.

Well once I got home from work I did a little more searching and found an app that fixes my issue. Not really the way I wanted to fix it but it seems to be working.

Stock 4.02 works fine for me but then again, im not in a 4G area. I flashed to 4.03 and noticed two issues.
Wifi Tether will not work with 4.03. I consistantly get errors in the startup log. Even worse, when on wifi at home im fine and my signal icons are blue meaning im connected to google servers. But if i disconnect off wifi and use my cellular 3G connection my signal icons stay grey and will not turn blue.
I had to flash back to 4.02 and instantly got blue icons on 3G and now my Wifi Tether works.
Anyone else got the same?
lol for posting in the dev forum.

Really wasnt sure where to put it but since the leaked radio thread was here i thought it would be a good place as well
Anything involving a question in the forum goes to Q&A. There is a dedicated section for it.

I read this was posted in the wrong place, sorry if I am just perpetuating the mistake but I wanted to respond with my experience with the 4.0.3 Radio. I have it installed on my SGN running Android Revolution HD 2.1.2 and Wireless Tether works fine, lasts a long time. I am running the latest Wireless Tether though (wifi_tether_v3_1-pre112).
Not sure if this helps, just thought I would share my experience. Carry on...
I have a d2tmo GS3 and been running CM10 nightlys. It is alright but I sometimes have BT trouble between the phone and the car and so I am looking to see if there is another ROM that will work better for me.
I am mainly looking for a relatively vanilla JB ROM. Don't need or care to much about fancy stuff. Its ok if it has extra features as long as they don't cause problems. More than anything else, I want a stable ROM that works correctly.
There are two problems I am having with BT.
The first is that the phone does not always auto connect for music with my car. It used to also have trouble connecting for phone, but a recent nightly build seems to have fixed that.
The second is that when it does connect, it automatically starts playing a random file (it did this with the stock ROM as well). For some reason my Nexus S didn't do this with either ICS or JB vanilla Android. My understanding is that this is cause the phone is getting an autoplay signal from the car. I am hoping there is an Android version that can be set to ignore this request.

I'm actually having the same problem with auto-connect I have a thread going as well. I am running wicked JB which is TW based so close to stok and thats my only problem so far
Just to be clear, when I say "vanilla JB" I mean JB like google intended, not neccesarilty GS3 stock rom.

Does Frosty allow your phone to ignore BT autoplay requests?

Frosty or Wicked. Both have been very stable for me.
Frosty is incredible give it a shot.
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.

Hi and thanks for help first off,
Bought a T-Mobile S3 flashed to CSROM Tha BMB v.1.2 with Hardware version: REV 0.4
I flashed a few phones previously but barely knew what I was doing then and haven't a clue now TBH.
So - bought a new Nav/Phone/Stereo for my car this weekend (Pioneer AVIC-X9310BT). Has BT phone support but can't get it to recognize/talk with the stereo at all. Phone says it's rejected or can't communicated with the stereo but stereo has no troulble connecting to other phones so it's something with the hack/Rom I'm guessing.
My pref. would be to do something to my current rom to make it work (done all the reboots and such - no luck). If this is possible - tell me what to do. (Remember, I'm an idiot on this stuff now days)
If not - my Q is - what current ROM would you guys suggest I DL and install to try and get it to work with my stereo.
In truth there's only two things I need from my S3.
- Ability to tether to my ipad
- Ability to be used with my stereo
Other than that - I'd really be fine with stock S3 wares... but... as I know - to have the ipad tether (without paying extra... I'm on Solavei service)... I have to at least stay hacked... so...beyond that... what's EASY to install, can tether and has the BEST chance (stable/near stock) to syncing up via BT with my stereo.
TIA

Probably ROM issue, try S3Rx or Dandroid.
Yup, I hear about BT problems all the time on CM/aosp roms. Try aerowinders suggestions first, but if you don't like the roms, just make sure you stick to stock, touchwiz based ones and BT should work.

I am running the 8/12 nightly build of Pac-man 4.4.4 rom for the Galaxy nexus GSM (Maguro). Overall everything is working good, however I ran into a problem today, that has me a little confused...
I have a Toyota car with the Entune Radio. The bluetooth feature connects just fine, and I can stream music and make calls, however the system is not able to transfer my call history or address book. Digging into this a little bit, I'm wondering if the latest build of Pacman may not support the PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) that is required.
Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to allow me to directly ask the question in the development thread, so I'm hoping someone will see it in this forum and respond.
Any help is appreciated...
