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.

MOGA Gamepad

I received my MOGA gamepad for Android. I have put fresh batteries in twice (the gamepad), reset my phone twice (android 4.1.1 Stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2, International). I can get the Gamepad to power on, blue light flashing but my phone will not find the pad. I have tried to do it manually also via settings, Bluetooth, scan. I have other BT device that my phone has found and pairs with fine. I have turned all them off and unpaired them. The pad, as I said, blinks blue for pairing but my phone can not find it. Any advice would be of course appreciated!

are you using the moga pivot app? the gamepad only works with moga pivot app and certain games. u can download a universal driver but its not perfect for non sanctioned games.

Yes I tried to use the app. When that didn't work I tried to do it manually. The pad blinks blue but will not sync. My other BT devices are working fine...perhaps a bad controller? I am going to try it on my wife's GSIII when she gets home later today from work.

Gotta do it through the app. It may take awhile the first time.

I have tried it several times via the app, and waited until it said device could not sync....

I am having the same problem with my sprint gs3 stock. It looks like it is a OS proble from all the threads I have read. But I suspect some moga's are defective. Damn flashing blue light.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Yes...the FOREVER flashing blue light. O/S issue? How so? I am tending towards a hardware issue with the pad. I have not been able to test it on my wifes phone yet, she is stuck at work...LOTS of SNOW coming down...

It might be a hardware issue. Nexus users do not seem to be having a problem. But I did see that a lot to f people with galaxy phones have Bluetooth issues with some devices. It is either one of those problems.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Do you have any links to forums discussing this? I am going more with a hardware issue. I have several BT devices hooked to my N2 (keyboard, mouse, headset, speaker) and all work fine. I emailed MOGA about the issue, have not heard back from them yet.

Well I tried it on my wifes phone this morning via the app and manually...neither way would sync. She has a GSIII (stock). I have not heard back from them via email...guess I will have to try and call them...

I am going to call today as well. Seems to me it is the pad. Best bet is to assume it is the moga considering it is new technology from a unproven company in my opinion.

Well I tried it on a Nexus 7...no go..same issue...fyi.
So when you call they tell you to email...lovely. I emailed them 2 days ago and have not heard back from them. I also posted on there FB page as to what my issue was...no response as of yet.

Update: I finally received an email from MOGA...they sent me a FedEx return label...time for an exchange....

[Q] Phone call audio problems

Ok, so I thought initially that it had to do with my bluetooth headset and the audio switching away back to the handset randomly (headset icon in the dialer stays lit). However, I also noticed now that when I'm sitting at my desk and it switches away from the headset and I then press the speaker icon, it'll also suddenly turn off the speaker as well and go back to the handset.
Running CleanRom AT&T SE3.0, I317UCAMC3. It's followed thru on a couple different rom flashes and modems so I'm not sure what the problem is, maybe radio related? RIL?

Not radio or Ril....
More likely a blue tooth reception issue. .
Look into the Cleanrom thread for the blue tooth related issues it had..
I haven't used CR for a while. ..so I can't remember the particulars. ...g
Edit...
Can't find the 3.0 link. ..and would like to review it again. ..
Have you got a working link ?

Yeah, but it's not just my bluetooth, it's even when I'm on speakerphone it's switching to internal again. Happens to two different bluetooth headsets as well.
But also, doesn't the Radio control the BT and Wifi? Maybe the RIL isn't involved but I thought the Radio was.
I checked the dev's website and it seems that he's retired that ROM entirely as it's no longer available for download. I wonder if he just pulled it due to needing more space on his server, there wasn't any bugs to speak of.

It is possible that your radio could be suffering from a problem. ..
The best way to test would of course be a complete restore via Odin. ..using Mr. Robinson rooted build. .then running triangle away and so forth. ..
It would tell you your radio condition....and if you are having trouble stock...then the device may be damaged. .
And regarding the 3.0 rom...I believe it's gone as well. ..g

[Q] Note 3 + car audio issues

This seems to be a well documented issue in other device forums, but I was wondering if anyone here figured out how to handle it.
I just switched from Verizon with a note 2, to tmobile with a note 3. I drive a 2012 Subaru STi that has bluetooth connectivity. With my note 2 everytime i got into my car, the phone auto connected no problem.
With the note 3, I have to use the car's menu to select the phone and manually connect... every time i get in the car. From what I can ttell this is an issue with 4.3 android, and was wondering if anyone has found a way to fix it without rooting.
Thanks,
Derek

When you paired the Note3 initially, did you grant full access in the phone? I go through this with almost every android phone I pair after installation of a new head unit. As long as you check the box for remember choice for all and hit OK/Yes, everything works. The iPhone is the only device that seems to make this a fully automated thing.
On another note, the line out audio dock works flawlessly on the note 3 as well. I use it for all my tunes.

I have re paired the device multiple times and have not noticed a box to check for remember the decision. Someone said I need to establish the profiles ...but that only works when in the car and once I disconnect it resets. I had no issues with the note 2 the only change is the note 3. I'll try again and see if I get a box to check. There are no auto connect issues with my beats by dre wireless headphones or galaxy gear watch

I don't seem to get any option like you have mentioned

If you select the device in the Bluetooth device list on the phone, and press the settings icon, are all the boxes checked?

Yeah and the Un select as soon as I leave the car. What baffles me is that my headphones have no problem connecting. While this is not a deal breaker it really is frustrating me

Right now sitting in my living room they are unchecked. If I go turn my car on and select my phone from my car it connects instantly and both of those profile boxes will check themselves

Ok I guess I am going to throw in the towel on this. I have spent several hours trying to figure out why the hell this phone wont connect and my previous one did.
I found the profile settings under the bluetooth options, but those are always unchecked when not connected, and checked when connected.
I think I am just going to give up as no one seems to know why the note 3 fails at allow auto connect to some devices and the note 2 had no such problems.

Out of curiosity, what OS version were you running on the note2 when it was working as it should be? I wonder if the issue lies in the TouchWizzed 4.3 that is on the note3 as opposed to the 4.1.1/2 variety the note2 started with (I know they have 4.3 now, but perhaps they didn't when you had the device...?).

Good question, I had not thought of that.
I had 4.1/2 originally but also used Beanz's 4.3 touchwiz so that my note2 worked with my galaxy gear.
So even a 4.3touchwiz on the note 2 had no problems.
Is anyone able to have their note 3 auto pair with their car? if it didnt work at all I would be able to move on and accept the loss, but for some reason my headphones auto pair in a flash. Hell I would rather the headphones not work and the car does!

While I don't get to use it often as it only resides in the wife's car (2012 Equinox), I have had no issues w/ bluetooth pairing/use. It's interesting the variability of outcome seen in regards to things like this (and I imagine rather frustrating as well) - I am regrettably at a loss.

Fair Enough. Thanks for trying guys I have given up!

[Q] Solution to the BT keyboard dissconnect issue??

Ive recently bought a a bt keyboard, a cheap unit that works fine with my other android but keeps disconnecting from my note, pretty much every third second or so.

Ive tried to turn off the on screen keyboard, and that didnt help much...
Any other tricks i can try out before i return the bt keyboard??
The note in question is a sm-p600
Help, please
Thanks in advance.

Try installing Bluetooth Easy Connect app from the Play Store. Its the only solution that worked for me. Follow the instructions in the app description.

Yup thats the only thing that worked for me too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mybesttools.btkbservice.

Problem is that it needs root, and I'm not that keen on killing my warranty just yet... I know some people have had some luck with either sending it in or exchanging it, but that's a lot of hassle, no guarantee that you get a safe unit, and to be honest something else might be busted ( yellow screen, SD card issue etc) ( Really samsung, Really? Quality test dpt is having quality issues )

I bought a Samsung Bluetooth slate keyboard and it works 100%. I am Also on stock 4.4.2. Before, i was on rooted Roms. Had disconnects with every Bluetooth keyboard I tried(tried like 4-5)
