I have Bluetooth headset i wear all day and my car has a Bluetooth hands-free.
Things get quirky when a call comes in. The car Bluetooth takes the call, which i don't really like but can live with i guess.
The problem i have is switching between Bluetooth devices at will. The iPhone lets you easily cycle between Bluetooth devices or the phone when a call comes in. The iPhone also cycles between all the devices in most podcast/media apps.
Are there any apps or settings that will allow me to easily cycle between Bluetooth devices at will? Tried soundabout but it didn't help.
Thanks for any suggestions!

You could try out using profiles and set them so when your in the car it connects to a certain Bluetooth device. I think they are in the lg settings if not try taster I think or an alternative

Hey Fellas,
Coming from a Note 2, I instantly loved the form factor of this phone. Built well
I'm having some issues connecting my bluetooth and streaming music on it.
My receiver is a Tunelink bluetoothwireless and the programs i'm using on it is mainly spotify. I did try beyondcast, but still having the same issue.
When streaming music or any sort of audio, I'm getting very spotty audio output. I would hear a slight static, then it'll cut out and resume at a different location. It seems to me that there is somekind of lag that goes into the system.
Calls made through my car does not have these issues. I've tested the tunelink and it seems to work fine. Anyone else having this issue?
I'm not understanding where its coming from. A possible fix would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
There seem to be issues with the bluetooth on this thing. Another forum member and myself both have problems staying connected to some of our bluetooth devices. I can connect to my car without any problems, but I can't connect to my bluetooth enabled housephone properly. If I try to make or receive a call, it's instant disconnection.
I'd lump your problem in with what's been described as faulty software.

Yep. And my car will stay connected for over 2 hrs, through phone calls and hangups; never an issue. Then when connecting to my home phone, it's disconnect-mania. Most people don't seem to have problems, but some, like myself, certainly do.
And the reason I blame it on the LGOG is because my old phone (LGOS) always had a solid connection to the home phone. Only thing that changed is my cell.
I have no problems streaming, from a motorokr s305, a nokia bh-505, and a JVC unit in the car. I do get somewhat of a poor connection with the motorokr s305, though. I just figured it was the age of the headset itself.
I do not have issues with my LG stereo Bluetooth, and with my Kenwood head unit, my only problem seems to be auto-connecting. It also has some skips, which has happened on all my phones since I got the head unit. Need to updates its firmware and see if that helps with any issues.

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!
I'm listening to the internet radio on my Note 3. Used it with the mini 3.5 mm cable first, then found the menu in my car media center to hook it up via BT. Got everything connected seems to work fine the sound quality via BT is much better that via the cable.
HOWEVER BT connection between the phone and radio randomly disconnects for no particular reason (I have it set to connect automatically as soon as the ignition is turned on) and every time it connects it starts playing the Samsung tune or whatever music theme even on the top of the radio music.
What could be causing that?
My touchscreen clarion does it to as far as the disconnects go, and music playing through the default Google player vs my player pro.. As for disconnecting, mine just have a issue connecting off hand but best way is make sure the player in the car is turned on with bt enabled and then turn on the phones bt and press play after the connection is made, shouldn't have any disconnects
As for the playing, if it's the same as what mine used to do, I'd free one of the players and keep the main one you use that way nothing plays but what you want.
Hope that helped any..

Yes this is what I do. As soon as as ignition is on BT connects, and the stupid Samsung tune ("over the horizon" according to my car audio system) starts playing in the car by default. I have to go into phone menu and pause that and then start the radio. And then it starts disconnecting the BT so I have to do all those things again (this time while driving)...

Sounds like something with your cars receiver doing like a auto play type deal once connected. The phone wouldnt have a way of playing automatically without being told to.. id check the receiver and see if it has something about auto and changing it to manual, the only thing that should be auto is the pair
I connect my Note 3 to my Kenwood deck daily. Its a bit different scenario but I have no issues with BT streaming at all. It connects automatically and waits for me to switch to Pandora or BT streaming. When connected it stays connected and doesn't skip. I think the phone can be solid with the right receiving device.
The only issue I do have is that the microphone doesn't work when people call me. Works fine if I call them.
I have had zero issues on 2 different Toyota vehicles using the factory audio system with Bluetooth. Phone and media (music) connects. Music only starts playing when I select BT on my stereo. No issues. Probably something with how your car's system is setup.

I doubt that recent LS460 premium audio would be at blame.
BT connection issue
I have a question for you guys, up until recently last week I had been using my stock note 3 with my 2013 kia optima bluetooth radio but last week it started only connecting to the phone audio ive tried pairing and repairing but only the phone audio connects no media audio, ive tried going into the settings and checking the media audio box but it will only flash for a little and not connect any idea on what it may be or how I can fix it? Thanks

Is there a menu in your car for audio/media/Bluetooth settings? On Toyota, they have a menu for BT Audio devices where you can connect.

Is it possible to connect the HTC One M8 to 2 bluetooth devices at once?
I want to connect the Bluetooth A2DP stereo headset to my car, and the hands-free phone connectivity to a Bluetooth headset.
I've gone in the Bluetooth profile on my phone and changed the car setting to NOT do phone, and I've changed the bluetooth phone headset to NOT do audio. Is there anything else I have to do to make this work?
It should work, don't think anything else is required.
I did the same with my note 2, not tried with the M8.
Only difference might be that my bluetooth headset was a basic one and thus could only connect to phone. So I into needed to make the change in the car BT options and remove media keeping only phone selected.
Hope yours works

Quick question though, can you bluetooth a keyboard to your phone as well as a speaker?
My g3 is completely stock like my last few phones have been.
I am looking for better control of my Bluetooth connections that automatically connect to various objects. All 3 of my connections have call audio capabilities, and I only want to use 1 for call audio. However when I get in the car its a 50/50 gamble of what will connect to my phone as the priority device resulting in me having to go change the settings every time I drive.
Here's the situation:
My car has 3 BT connections I currently use when I drive.
Priority 1: Car OEM Bluetooth connection. No audio streaming available so all I want is automatic connection for hands free through my car speakers and steering wheel controls for phone calls.
Priority 2: Garmin GPS traffic. My GPS uses an app on my phone to get traffic reports. It only needs the BT connection to communicate with my app. The problem is My GPS has hands free call audio also, but i dont use that feature and never want to. However it seems I frequently have to go uncheck the box "use call audio" in phone BT settings because this sometimes connects to my phone before the car BT does.
Priority 3: sometimes when I am not using my iPod for music I use an adapter for streaming music since my car does not offer that feature on its BT connection. Of course this adapter also offers call audio and media streaming. When this is plugged up and listening to music I have to disconnect my cars BT (listed as priority 1) as it will cause static in my music streaming. When I use this device I shut off the connection to my car and just leave the GPS (priority 2) and this connected and make phone calls by hand without hands free since this adapter does not allow me to use my steering wheel controls etc that the car has and its just easier to do it by hand. I don't always use this adapter, only when im board of my iPod and sirius and want to stream Spotify.
I've tried "Bluetooth auto connect" application but it hasn't done anything to help control which device connects and which doesn't or which of them has priority. A lot of the times I'll get in the car and disconnect all of them and start over but usually one of the devices automatically tries to reconnect causing them to interfere with each other while I'm driving. Unfortunately none of these devices have the ability to shut off features in the devices themselves which means I have to use my phone to control them.
Is there any way of controlling my bluetooth connections in more detail or am I just stuck with them battling each other every time I get in the car? Usually I don't have a problem once they are all set but if my phone restarts or I I need to start all over. If the phone would just remember which connection uses "media audio" or "call audio" this all could be avoided but the phone never ever remembers and always resets them all as checked. My Bluetooth is usually always turned on (probably what kills my battery) and I have no other connections besides what I use in the car. I had the same problems on my Xperia Z1 and don't think this is an LG G3 specific thing. I think its an android thing in general.
Thanks for any ideas.
