Android 4.3 and Bluetooth Headset - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have this problem on 4.3 ROMs from TouchWiz to AOSP. My bluetooth headset cannot be recognized but on 4.1.2 ROMs it connects instantly.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you.

My bluetooth headset is no longer compatible. I bought it 3 weeks prior to updating to 4.3. Now utterly useless!. Is it possible to use files from older stock ROMs?

Fix for bluetooth issue.

Figured it out. I have a Nokia Bluetooth headset for working out and the thing about it is, you have to hold the power button until you see a rapid blinking light to enable to search for the earphones.

Bluetooth - not using BT Mic

Hi,
I've had A2DP working on my in-car audio for a while now - but it seems not to work with the mic anymore. It uses the phone mic instead of the headunit one.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can alter to force it to use the BT one, or is it likely ROM/Kernel/Radio specific?
FWIW I'm running the latest Modaco ROM with franco milestone 4.
Thanks
Make sure you have phone checked in the Bluetooth settings.

Yep, both phone and media are ticked.
I have been having the same issue ever since I upgraded to JB. When I make phone calls through my car stereo the sound comes out of the speakers fine but it wont use the stereo microphone it keeps using the phone mic.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Same issue here. been searching for a fix to no avail. Also miss being able to choose the app that responds to my cars bluetooth button. Would like that to initiate Google now, text by voice or vlingo...

I'm having a similar problem, my GN connects to my car (or my BT speaker or headset) and shows connected on both the device and the GN. But it doesn't use the device even if it appears it should. I'm just running the latest JB image, and everything worked fine yesterday. I've rebooted, I've unpaired, now I need some more suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

I reloaded the latest image of JB to my phone and now the BT is back to working correctly. I'm thinking the DockStation app for my Philips dock caused the issue, but can't confirm.

Different bluetooth stack?

Hi everyone,
The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!
I have a problem with one of my Bluetooth devices dropping and reconnecting. Not sure why is just one. It works fine on an iPhone. I'm guessing your GS3 isn't the international version?

Nope not international, SGH-I747M from Bell.
I'm trying this. Will report back.

Sweet! please let us know!
I'm having a different issue. it connects and stays connected, plays music but it doesn't list the song/artist info on my eclipse screen but the SG2 will..
Update: no change with the new kernel. The phones pairs but there's no sound, just as was the case before.

Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.
Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.
The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).
My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)
I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.

Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.
If you're on stock... just nm then.

What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.
Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted
KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel
CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3
PlayerPro Music Player
On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:
- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound
- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all
- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs
- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).
When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.
Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw
TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:
4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.
Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works

[Q] Bluetooth fix for CM10/10.1

Tried searching around and couldn't find anything. CM 10 and 10.1 has severely crippled Bluetooth stack. Audio sounds like a tin can, if it works, and there's a ton of clicks and pops during calls.Has anybody managed a way to fix it yet? Maybe a custom kernel or kernel module? Thanks in advance!

Bump.
Can anyone report on CM10 and bluetooth? Paticularly 2 bluetooth devices at the same time?
Running liquid smooth 4.2.2. Bluetooth voice and a2dp are crystal clear for me

I recently installed an A2DP receiver in my car, and am running the latest 10.1 nightly. The sound is horrible. Same as OP. Someone mentioned liquad smooth???

bluetooth headset issue

Hi guys,
I just bought a platronics m25 bluetooth headset.
i'm paring it with my gs3 running 2.1.2
problem is i cant seem to figure out how to turn off the microphone on my phone, when talking on the headset.
when engaged to a call, my phones mic and my headsets mic both work, thus creating an echo , hearing myself talk = very annoying.
is there any kind of setting im missing? maybe an app that can solve the issue?
thanks in advance, cheers!
I have the exact same problem with my s3 and my plantronics m25.. Running also 4.1.2, let me know if you find any solution.
Thanks

Yes, many people have with 4.2.2 as you would have discovered using search.
No, there is no resolution at present.

Anyone found a fix? My current solution is to leave bluetooth on all the time. It connects ok when its not car mode turning it on but it's obviously not an ideal fix.
Sense 5 A2DP
I have just bought a USB a2dp dongle for my car which connects via the AUX In. Music from my HOX plays superbly and when my phone rings this also comes through the car speakers. However it appears that the microphone on the phone does not function (as it does when hardwired to the AUX In). Does anybody know if it it possible to configure the HOX to use the normal microphone when paired with the A2DP dongle.
I am using Viper X 4.0.5 and AlexV 2.7 btw
many thanks
