Just wondering if anyone could help me please, I'm having problems connecting my M8 to my car's Bluetooth hands-free it just keeps connecting then disconnecting in a loop every few seconds never had this problem on my galaxy S3. I have tried it on my friends car with a different model stereo and works fine. I am getting the latest map DVD in a few days not sure if this will help but if it does not is there anything you could suggest? would a custom ROM help I know you can change Kernel and Modem but would either of these solve a problem like this?
Thanks for any help.
I have the same problem hopefully there's someone who knows how to fix it. The only thing I found out to work for me, is to manually turn the car's bluetooth off then turn it back on. Then the loop stops for me. But its kinda annoying to have to do that every time I start my car. I own a Nissan.
Had this problem with my mazda. Turn on bluetooth and go to the settings. Hit the menu button and select advanced. Make sure you allow files to be transferred over bluetooth. I can't look at the exact setting at the moment.
Try again to pair. It may take another try or two. This resolved my issue.

i just got a new chevy cruze and im trying to connect my bluetooth with no success. It will say its paired, but when i try to make a call thru my car it wont work. Also while it is paired it is not connectable. Can someone give me some info or pointers please.
I don't know if this will help much but same thing happens here and the fix involves some combination of first unpairing and turning off bluetooth on the phone, then resetting the bluetooth device to put it back into pair mode. I have no idea why it happens but it's maddening.
thanks, i will try that. ****s kinda frustrating. im also unable to stream music from my phone.
Hey guys,
I'm having some pretty bad bluetooth issues, and my searches haven't really found a solution. When I attempt to connect my phone to my car headunit, my headunit shows it's connected and my phone also shows connected. But the audio still comes out of the phone speaker. After a few minutes it will disconnect and reconnect a few times, sometimes only showing headset connected and not media. Eventually the bluetooth just locks up saying "connecting...". If I turn off bluetooth on my phone, the stereo still shows it is connected to a bluetooth device. I tried to "forget" my device and re-paired, and the process seems fine except the phone never asks if I want to share my phonebook, so I assume something behind the scenes is already broken at that point.
This is a very new problem for me, and my bluetooth was working fine with this headunit for months now using numerous different ROMs from GB to JB. I was on AOKP JB build 1 when this started. I tried a full wipe and reflashed the ROM and still had the problem. I have tested this on about five other ICS and JB ROMs and am currently on CM9.1 and the problem is continuing. I also tried a different phone to make sure the problem wasn't my headunit and the other phone worked as expected.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have any direction for me to fix this? Thanks!
I have a similar problem with aokp jb, when it wasn't present before. The head unit shows my phone audio connects but the media audio does not connect sometimes. I would have to reboot my phone or fully disconnect my phone from the head unit and pair them again.. no real solution but it is slight work around and to say that you're not alone

Thanks. I've had to reboot or re-pair in the past every once in awhile, but neither rebooting or re-pairing is fixing the connection anymore. Anyone else had this problem? Are know if there is some sort of log I can find on my phone that might give some clues to why this is happening?
Problem Solved....
I tried my phone in a different vehicle, with a different headunit. No problems at all. I went through my head unit menus and found an option to clear all bluetooth data. I assume this clears all paired device information from the headunit. Everything works perfect now. Phone pairs fast, stays connected, and all functions are perfect. I hope this helps someone at some point.
Ever since ICS came along I have been experiencing linking issue with my car's Bluetooth.
While it can detect the phone, problem is every time it's connected as a media speaker device only. To remedy that, I have to manually go into the phone settings and enable the phone calls too... Every single time.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Has anyone encountered issues with connecting with a car bluetooth? My wife phone conntects with no issues.. She can use the cars remotes to make and receive calls.. Mine I have to pick a contact from the phone for it to work, it will not work with the car or my work truck controls.. It seems everytime it ask if my car or truck can access my contacts, I always choose allow, but nothing happens, but it works with the wifes.. This is with the Lollipop update, that we both have...
happened to me I just rebooted my phone and it connected, also check settings for that paired device

Got one to work, in my truck.. The car it worked for a while, then quit.. I will try it agian to see if it will stcik... Most likely caused by the 5.0 update..
I've noticed a Bluetooth problem that suddenly started in the last week or so. I upgraded to Lollipop when it first hit, and didn't have any problems.
Now, however, after Bluetooth works fine for awhile (I can connect to a Pebble watch, Bluetooth speaker, car Bluetooth, etc) all day long - then all of a sudden it can't connect to ANYTHING. Toggling Bluetooth off\on doesn't fix it.
Restart the phone, then everything works just fine for awhile. Until it doesn't, and I have to restart again.
Anyone else experiencing this pattern?
I've actually had the opposite happen. I have a iSimple bluetooth box in my car. I've never been able to auto connect with either VZW Note2 or 4. The CS rep told me it had to do only with VZW phones and he couldn't help me out. On another forum, another member mentioned he didn't have any issues with his older phone, so I dug out my old HTC Incredible. Sure enough, it would auto connect. Something changed with Lollipop, and now my Note4 will finally auto connect to the iSimple box. I tried using a third party Bluetooth app prior, but it didn't fix the problem.
Finally got the one in the car working as well... Because the wife and I have the same phone, I just simply changed the name of my phone and it works fine..
If your talking about the developer edition one rom update.. YES.. What fixed mine was wiping everything and redoing the one rom lollipop, then twrp, then installing Ricks Rom Lollipop, things have been perfect. I even addressed it in the ricks rom thread the week.
I haven't had any issues connecting devices but since Lollipop, when I am connected to a bluetooth speaker (car, bose, other bluetooth speakers) the audio gets choppy randomly.
I have done some searching and found others (LG g3) who had the exact same issue after updating to Lollipop.
I have tried rebooting, using different music apps, unpairing/pairing, forgetting the device ect and nothing seems to work. Anyone else having this problem after updating to lollipop? Anyone know how to fix it?
Is anyone else having issues syncing to your car? Mine connects for 5 seconds and then flashes phone not detected on my phone screen and disconnects. I am running the deluxe standard model, not the special edition. I have checked the easy stuff like making sure Bluetooth is enabled and successful pairing. I can connect to Bluetooth speakers no problem. My Google music app also froze and could not be recovered by powering off or closing apps. I had to uninstall and reinstall. Let me know if anyone has had a similar issue and hire or if you fixed it.
I listen to music in my car via A2DP/BT Audio & have no issues with either listening, or controlling (fwd, rewind, etc...) music apps like VLC via the car controls.
no problem pairing with my car, mobile, music etc etc.

2 ppl confirmed properly working BT;
1: make sure you're on the latest firmware
2: close any other apps which might be using BT (do you have other BT devices on you? They might be conflicting)
3: make sure your music app is whitelisted in battery optimization options
4: try other music apps, like VLC
5: choose balanced power management
6: factory reset & try BT audio as the 1st thing after a fresh boot; this should help you isolate the issue.

I have the same issue sometimes. My Honda Accord had no issues pairing to my Note 7, and connected to it perfectly every time. The car also initially paired quickly to the ZF3D, but when I get in the car I have to manually select the car in the Bluetooth menu. If I try waiting, it will either never connect, or flash like yours. connect for a second then lose connection.
either way, manually selecting it makes the phone keep its connection throughout the entire drive.
Hope it helps!

Thanks all, I tried all of the tips above to no effect. Manually selecting still drops within 5 seconds. Tonight I will try it in a different car to rule out a compatibility issue with mine. I aIso downloaded VLC and made sure everything was white listed. Phone reset had the same issue with no apps installed. My old Note 4 pairs just fine and stays connected. The Buick Bluetooth (2012) system isn't the most up to date either and has limited capability (phone only, no music) so it may be a car issue.
Thanks,
Eric

It is a car compatibility issue. It works fine in other cars apparently just not older Buicks. Thanks for the assistance everyone.

I was never able to pair it with my vehicle even after a reset. It works fine with my other car, and it works fine with everything else I have tried.

I am finding that auto connecting to BT in the car and on my Gear S3 is hit and miss, however i have had no issues when doing it manually, but it is a pain in the ass. hopefully ASUS will fix this when they release the nougat update!
My Zenfone 3 will pair with the car and a number comes up that I have to type into the phone but the keypad flashes up on the phone for 1 second and then disappears too quickly to enter it. I have tryed it about 10 times and always the same result. Anyone have any idears on how to fix it.
