[Q] Car Bluetooth Audio Problem

I have a LG Nitro HD running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.5. The bluetooth phone part works as I can make and receive calls with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010), but the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

It's been about a month and still no solution. Has anyone else come across this problem?

I do not have this problem. I have a Pioneer X930BT headunit in my car and my Nitro streams audio over bluetooth (A2DP) to it perfectly as well as phone calls.

Have you tried streaming Sirius or spotify over bluetooth? I found that the only app on the phone that streams audio to my car correctly is the pre-installed audio app that comes with the phone.

I can confirm google music and napster stream great over bluetooth. I have not used spotify or sirius for android.

Are you sure your car supports audio profile?
I stream spotify, tunein radio every day through bluetooth.
Spotify actually pauses when bluetooth connection is lost which is great for getting out of the car. I wish TuneIn would do it.

I have had the same problem with my nitro, it will automatically connect the phone but the media (A2DP) seems to drop automatically after connection. I've found if I manually re-connect to the receiver both will stay connected.
(settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth settings > *tap device name*)
I, like you, use it every time I'm in the car so it's annoying but it's a fix until there is a valid solution like a update or properly built rom.

In your case I would delete all the phone profiles from the car memory and re pair them. A lot of cars have a seperate a2dp profile for streaming music and if you pair them seperately the car stereo thinks that it needs to be paired only with the cell phone while the phone says that is paired with phone and audio.
It is not a LG Nitro 4g issue. Updates/firmware would not fix it.

That seems to be your problem JoTomlin and Kaiser. Before I installed my new headunit in my subaru I had tons of issues with my captivate playing music over bluetooth because the car had seperate profiles for A2DP and handsfree. When I got my new headunit which has a single profile containing both A2DP and handsfree it all worked without headache on the captivate and now the nitro. This is a problem with your car stereo. If its anything like my subarus, it would prefer to connect to handsfree and it would have to physically disconnect handsfree to connect A2DP (I would have to manually connect via the bluetooth menu). I solved it by getting a tunelink bluetooth audio receiver so handsfree would connect to the stereo and to the tunelink at the same time. Eventually I got tired of that and bought a new headunit.

Apparently a lot of people have swapped out their factory Kizashi factory head units for something better. But again, you'll want to bug Suzuki about something like this.

FWIW, I can stream Pandora just fine over a VW headunit with factory bluetooth. I do have to sometimes to a reconnect/pair though.

Has anyone figured out this issue? I stopped using my Nitro for about 5 months and then just recently updated it with 4.0.4, but still have the audio issue. My Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have this issue. It's frustrating because I really like the Nitro. The Bluetooth audio is a huge issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Did you factory reset after updating?

SmartWatch and a2dp

hi guys
i was looking for the smartwatch, but i have a question
i use a2dp on my car, with a bluetooth stereo, for music
it's a must have for me
now i use an iphone, but i will go with sgs3 as soon as it will be out (preordered)
my question is: if the phone uses the bt to be connected to the watch, will the a2dp still works? or the phone manages only one connetion at time?
thank you
PS: oh , the same question is good for the liveview

Hi,
I have the smartwatch with a HTC Desire and no problem at all to use my bluetooth headset with the watch at the same time.
Well, I never tried to get a call with the watch using the headset but is a smartwatch feature so I guess It will work.
Bye.

Bluetooth is somewhat broken.....

I have to unpair and repair my Bluetooth headset every single time I use it. (phone audio only). Looks like Samsung really borked up BT.
Thinking about upgrading to MDL this weekend to see if that fixes it.

i dont know about bluetooth with car, but i listen to my bluetooth headphones every day at work for hours and i have had no probs whatsoever with my bluetooth. it paired really easy like too easy and that was it.

I guess thanks for the fact that at least it works manually so in my case its a 100% software issue.

I'm having no issues with phone or media when hooked up to my car.

I have the same problem with my Denon aftermarket head unit.

My Motorola BT headset pairs ok, but the quality of the audio is so bad to my callers I can't use it. On my S3 it sounded fine. I had to switch to a different headset that's giant and stupid.

2011 Hyundai Sonata

have a jabra headset and its paired excellently 100% of the time
Had minor issues (device based) when it was "paired" to 2 devices.

Use Bluetooth Auto Connect from play store. I was having the same problem except mine connected on to media instead of phone. That app fixed it right up.

Mine will drop connection intermittently to my VW RNS-315 head unit and also drop connection to my Jawbone Icon HD. When it drops the Jawbone I often see a message on the screen that says Bluetooth Sharing has crashed. Not sure if this is as a result of the rooting process or if it's a glitch in the latest firmware. Hoping Samsung will fix and T-Mo will release patch soon.

Have yet to have an issue here with my S4 and my JVC Arsenel (Dont remember which model #, was one of the higher single DIN units a year ago though), use it daily and it connects on its own without issue / hassel both phone and media

I experience the same phone only problem with my Ford Sync system, I have to manually check Media audio, but it pairs both the first tube after unpairing. I'll try the Play Store app and report back today. I will say is nice to see voice control over bluetooth has been fixed in Jelly Bean.
UPDATE: Bluetooth Auto Connect (The first one listed in a Play Store search by Jakub Klos) works flawlessly to connect Phone and Media audio. Thanks @Sym_Link!

No problems with bluetooth here, my Pioneer radio in my Grand Marquis, both audio and phone sync flawlessly. However, my Sony unit in the Saturn, will sync the phone no problem, but I still have to manually check the box to sync with audio.

My experience w/ BT audio has been variable. I have an aftermarket head unit installed on a '05 Acura RSX (JVC-NSX1 - http://www.crutchfield.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/p_105NSX1/JVC-KW-NSX1.html).
Note: my headunit also utilizes MirrorLink...which is just flippin' awesome.
BT Media audio seems to be very app dependent. I use Grooveshark and Play Music for my day to day listening, and I find that my Grooveshark will auto-play when BT Connects but if I'm going from a fresh power cycle of my automobile to Google Play I have to start the app on my phone prior to accessing the in-dash controls on my head unit.
Other times I can just select in dash controls and it will play Play Music.
Ironically, since the iOS 6.0 update plugging in the GF's iPhone no longer plays audio (freaking Apple). So if she wants to stream media it's only available over BT. Ah, progress!

[Q] moto 360 and Bluetooth headphones at same time

Does anyone know if you can use the 360 and Bluetooth headphones at the same time. I use Bluetooth headphone connected to my nexus 5 all day

That's great to hear I'll be getting my 360 on the 17th

Works decently, but I've had the BT headset disconnect randomly with the 360 connected. Over a year and my BT headset never disconnected, it's a Bluebuds X. Also had some issues with no voice input into my mono BT headset with the 360 connected, almost like the BT voice input was rerouted somehow to the 360. Seems to be buggy .

I've had my plantronics voyager legend sound very digitized to the point it's unusable lately. I'm multipoint paired to my HTC one max and a blackberry q10. Haven't had this problem before the moto 360.

I had my Moto 360 connected to my phone and my wireless beats with no problems. Works great

I just go my 360 yesterday and was wondering the same as op. I literally use my phone in calls about 4 to 5 hours a day. I actually use a blue parrot xt plus and they can't be beat as far as call quality on both ends. Now for looks, that's a different story. Can you say "May I take your order" they look like a headset from a drive thru. Anyway thanks for all the comments.

Yes you can, also there are about two apps enabling volume on the market for your player.

Works well, but I've heard some people complain of battery drain on moto 360 when you have another BT device connected. I don't think I've encountered that problem though.

I guess it depends on what phone and BT you are using.
I have moto 360 with LG G3 and when I workout I pair it with Jabra sport to listen to play music. Music is slow, unresponsive at first, choppy and from time to time play music fc's. Could be play music, BT, G3 or M360 and BT both connected to G3.
Playing music just through phone works with just M360 and works ok with just BT connected to G3. Next time going to try it with Gnote 3 and see if that works any better.

Works just fine with my Bluetooth car stereo as well.

Dual Bluetooth

Odd question. I bought a vehicle that has Bluetooth but only does phone calls. I attached a Bluetooth aux device to the radio, which allows streaming music. I need to have both to allow the steering wheel bluetooth controls for voice on my phone to work and music streaming. My phone and car work great when both bluetooth devices are connected to my phone.
So now the odd question, is there any way to have the phone pair to both simultaneously? It seems once it finds my car, then it stops looking for other devices and I have to manually connect the 2nd Bluetooth device. Thanks a head of time!

mine does this just fine. i was on a road trip bluetoothing to my fm modulator and when calls came in, it muted the music and made the phone ring thru the stock phone connection hardware. are you having troubles getting this same situation going?

No, they pair just fine. I just have to manually connect the 2nd device through the phone. It won't automatically connect to both once it finds the car.
