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.
Questions and help issues go in Q&A

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.

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, I have a Chevy Volt and a Galaxy Note 2. When I was on a 4.1.2 based ROM, the integration with the car worked automagically (once BT paired). I recently updated to a 4.4 ROM (OmniRom), and now the link is broken. I can play audio through the BT as before, but the push to dial commanding will no longer dial the phone. The car just says "dialing failed", but the phone never even tries to dial! I think this may be a 4.4 issue because I had the same problem with another 4.4 CM based ROM.
Anybody have similar experiences, know of a workaround or way to get it to work?
Thanks!

Probably just go back to a Touchwizz based rom (Lots of 4.3 available) and you should be fine. But there may be other options but thats a suggestion
Yes as a test, works on 4.3, but
As a test, I loaded a 4.3 ROM and after I set the BT options for both media and phone it worked fine. I'm going to reload a 4.4 rom and see if it was simply that I did not have the BT set for audio and phone. duh.
Remember to update once you've tried it out. Could help out others in your situation.
no 4.4 yet, plan to though
Still running 4.3. SkyNote works pretty well, so I'm reluctant to move now.
Lots of threads about 4.4 BT problems. Sorry.
I'm having issues with BT in my car, the phone will work but audio will not work. Tech support is recommending a "master reset."
Not sure what that means, but do not want to lose data.
Rezound and LG G2 have connect for phone and auido with no issue.
Anyone else having issues? Would greatly appreciate any ideas on how to fix it.

Some info about config (hardware, software) would be nice... My D855 v10h has no issues connecting to my Pioneer DEH-4600BT. Audio, phone, address obok, recent calls - everything works ok.

Try software upgrade - if exists. 10c looks kinda old, check OTA for possible upgrades. And if you have T-Mobile, then maybe consider TWRP and custom ROM for test - if OTA doesn't work.
when I had kitkat on my Note 3 I had my phone paired via Bluetooth to my car radio. When playing music it would show the song name, artist, album etc and I could play, pause etc the song. I got the lollipop update, and it deleted all of my Bluetooth connections. So I paired my phone back up to my radio and now it doesn't show anything, no song, artist, album etc and I can't control the music anymore. I have done all of the troubleshooting steps I have been told to do and nothing has worked. Are other people experiencing the same issue? Is there a fix? Please help! Thanks in advanc!!
Bump.

Have you tried clearing the data for bluetooth apps and reconnecting to the car? Is under settings, applications.
I have cleared the data and cache from the Bluetooth app. Impaired the radio from the phone and vice versa. Still hasn't fixed it. It will play music through the radio. Just no info or metadata as people call it.
That means your Bluetooth radio is not compatible with lollipop... Simple features that are universal like calls and pairing will work but that's it. ..It's got nothing to do with your phone and you can't do anything to fix that. ..
Thank you for the help! Would have never guessing that! Guess I need to get a new radio now.
How did you update to lollipop?
Kies?
OTA?
Odin?
Have you tried a reflash?

Yeah I had a Pioneer from 3 years ago 7 inch screen top of the line and the same thing happened, so last week I went and bought the new Pioneer same type just a newer version and everything works again so it's definitely the radio... Unless they have updates for the radio, the updates for your phone will supersede the radio because they didn't have lollipop in mind when they made the radio and there are things that have changed in the software... I hope that helps
These functions are bluetooth standard functions, not something that is lollipop or kitkat specific. If that were the case, all of your accessories (BT headsets, etc.) would lose the ability to control music as well.
OP: What is your baseband version, and your actual ROM version? It's possible that when you got your update, your baseband didn't update, and thus the BT interaction via the SDK in the os isn't passing the data to the BT radio correctly.

Not true I've been in car stereo for 25 years and I'm MECP certified... There's Bluetooth 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and now 4.0... Lollipop is 4.0 and it is different and they will have different effects on other versions of Bluetooth... You can say I'm wrong, but I'm not and you will never get it to work no matter what your baseband phone or anything like that is... Lots of manufacturers have updates to make their Bluetooth compatible if you don't update your Bluetooth device it will become obsolete and only the basic features will still work
Ohhhhkay. Lol.
I have both a Note 4 that has upgraded to Lollipop and a new S6 (obviously with Lollipop), and both pair and connect find to 2 different cars, but I have lost music controls with apps such as Slacker and Pandora. Interestingly enough, music controls are okay with Google Play Music. I can't even control the music with Android Wear. I don't think wiping cache or factory resetting will affect any of this since it's happening with the S6, which is brand new. This has to be a Samsung Lollipop thing, because the HTC One M9 has no issues like this.
It's probably more of a Google / Samsung thing, I like controlling all my music apps especially pandora from my Kenwood DDX719 which doesn't play well with my Note 3 on lollipop.
So far using my S4 still running kitkat but have a S6 edge on my radar for June, hope there's a workaround by June.

Omg I've been in car stereo for 25 years and I'm trying to tell you guys has nothing to do with the phone, older radio will not be compatible with lollipop no matter what you do so stop wasting your time get a new radio or deal with it please this guessing is is killing me... You must check your manufacturer of your radio to see if its compatible with lollipop, doing something to your phone is not going to make it work... I really hope this helps all of you
The only thing to do is to revert back to kitkat, as far as the phone is concerned or new stereo hu.
I'm good with that.
Until I get the S6 edge, then it's curtains for the Kenwood I have, just hope Kenwood comes out with something that's lollipop friendly.

Try the pioneer nex line. I just got the 4100 and it has android auto and it's great made only for lollipop...
I'm going to wait for Kenwood to take the next step concerning Android functionality and move in that direction.
Been buying and using Kenwood for over 30 yrs, can't see myself buying pioneer.
