Hello all, I am new to the GS3 but not the Galaxy line i have had the Captivate Infuse, S2 Skyrocket before this one. I spent a good 95% of the time on Cyanogen Mod on all but the Infuse.
I have a question about Bluetooth and connecting automatically, I know on CM9 and 10 (i cant remember before then) when you turn BT on it automatically connects to what ever device you are paired that is in range. Is there not a way to make that work with the stock 4.1.1 ROM?
There are a few features that the TW 4.1.1 has that i am getting really used to and i really did not want to go to CM just yet. but this one issue might very well me the deal breaker for me.
I am running DLK3 and the only mod other than rooted is the Google wallet unlocker and 23 toggles (also on the 23 toggle it does not pop up with a list of paired devices like it does with the stock toggle, but if it will just connect then i really don't care to see the list)
any help would be awesome, i have done some searching but most of what i found was about audio quality streaming a car stereo.
Questions and help issues go in Q&A

Well once I got home from work I did a little more searching and found an app that fixes my issue. Not really the way I wanted to fix it but it seems to be working.

Hi and thanks for help first off,
Bought a T-Mobile S3 flashed to CSROM Tha BMB v.1.2 with Hardware version: REV 0.4
I flashed a few phones previously but barely knew what I was doing then and haven't a clue now TBH.
So - bought a new Nav/Phone/Stereo for my car this weekend (Pioneer AVIC-X9310BT). Has BT phone support but can't get it to recognize/talk with the stereo at all. Phone says it's rejected or can't communicated with the stereo but stereo has no troulble connecting to other phones so it's something with the hack/Rom I'm guessing.
My pref. would be to do something to my current rom to make it work (done all the reboots and such - no luck). If this is possible - tell me what to do. (Remember, I'm an idiot on this stuff now days)
If not - my Q is - what current ROM would you guys suggest I DL and install to try and get it to work with my stereo.
In truth there's only two things I need from my S3.
- Ability to tether to my ipad
- Ability to be used with my stereo
Other than that - I'd really be fine with stock S3 wares... but... as I know - to have the ipad tether (without paying extra... I'm on Solavei service)... I have to at least stay hacked... so...beyond that... what's EASY to install, can tether and has the BEST chance (stable/near stock) to syncing up via BT with my stereo.
TIA

Probably ROM issue, try S3Rx or Dandroid.
Yup, I hear about BT problems all the time on CM/aosp roms. Try aerowinders suggestions first, but if you don't like the roms, just make sure you stick to stock, touchwiz based ones and BT should work.

I'm having issues with BT in my car, the phone will work but audio will not work. Tech support is recommending a "master reset."
Not sure what that means, but do not want to lose data.
Rezound and LG G2 have connect for phone and auido with no issue.
Anyone else having issues? Would greatly appreciate any ideas on how to fix it.

Some info about config (hardware, software) would be nice... My D855 v10h has no issues connecting to my Pioneer DEH-4600BT. Audio, phone, address obok, recent calls - everything works ok.

Try software upgrade - if exists. 10c looks kinda old, check OTA for possible upgrades. And if you have T-Mobile, then maybe consider TWRP and custom ROM for test - if OTA doesn't work.
when I had kitkat on my Note 3 I had my phone paired via Bluetooth to my car radio. When playing music it would show the song name, artist, album etc and I could play, pause etc the song. I got the lollipop update, and it deleted all of my Bluetooth connections. So I paired my phone back up to my radio and now it doesn't show anything, no song, artist, album etc and I can't control the music anymore. I have done all of the troubleshooting steps I have been told to do and nothing has worked. Are other people experiencing the same issue? Is there a fix? Please help! Thanks in advanc!!
Bump.

Have you tried clearing the data for bluetooth apps and reconnecting to the car? Is under settings, applications.
I have cleared the data and cache from the Bluetooth app. Impaired the radio from the phone and vice versa. Still hasn't fixed it. It will play music through the radio. Just no info or metadata as people call it.
That means your Bluetooth radio is not compatible with lollipop... Simple features that are universal like calls and pairing will work but that's it. ..It's got nothing to do with your phone and you can't do anything to fix that. ..
Thank you for the help! Would have never guessing that! Guess I need to get a new radio now.
How did you update to lollipop?
Kies?
OTA?
Odin?
Have you tried a reflash?

Yeah I had a Pioneer from 3 years ago 7 inch screen top of the line and the same thing happened, so last week I went and bought the new Pioneer same type just a newer version and everything works again so it's definitely the radio... Unless they have updates for the radio, the updates for your phone will supersede the radio because they didn't have lollipop in mind when they made the radio and there are things that have changed in the software... I hope that helps
These functions are bluetooth standard functions, not something that is lollipop or kitkat specific. If that were the case, all of your accessories (BT headsets, etc.) would lose the ability to control music as well.
OP: What is your baseband version, and your actual ROM version? It's possible that when you got your update, your baseband didn't update, and thus the BT interaction via the SDK in the os isn't passing the data to the BT radio correctly.

Not true I've been in car stereo for 25 years and I'm MECP certified... There's Bluetooth 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and now 4.0... Lollipop is 4.0 and it is different and they will have different effects on other versions of Bluetooth... You can say I'm wrong, but I'm not and you will never get it to work no matter what your baseband phone or anything like that is... Lots of manufacturers have updates to make their Bluetooth compatible if you don't update your Bluetooth device it will become obsolete and only the basic features will still work
Ohhhhkay. Lol.
I have both a Note 4 that has upgraded to Lollipop and a new S6 (obviously with Lollipop), and both pair and connect find to 2 different cars, but I have lost music controls with apps such as Slacker and Pandora. Interestingly enough, music controls are okay with Google Play Music. I can't even control the music with Android Wear. I don't think wiping cache or factory resetting will affect any of this since it's happening with the S6, which is brand new. This has to be a Samsung Lollipop thing, because the HTC One M9 has no issues like this.
It's probably more of a Google / Samsung thing, I like controlling all my music apps especially pandora from my Kenwood DDX719 which doesn't play well with my Note 3 on lollipop.
So far using my S4 still running kitkat but have a S6 edge on my radar for June, hope there's a workaround by June.

Omg I've been in car stereo for 25 years and I'm trying to tell you guys has nothing to do with the phone, older radio will not be compatible with lollipop no matter what you do so stop wasting your time get a new radio or deal with it please this guessing is is killing me... You must check your manufacturer of your radio to see if its compatible with lollipop, doing something to your phone is not going to make it work... I really hope this helps all of you
The only thing to do is to revert back to kitkat, as far as the phone is concerned or new stereo hu.
I'm good with that.
Until I get the S6 edge, then it's curtains for the Kenwood I have, just hope Kenwood comes out with something that's lollipop friendly.

Try the pioneer nex line. I just got the 4100 and it has android auto and it's great made only for lollipop...
I'm going to wait for Kenwood to take the next step concerning Android functionality and move in that direction.
Been buying and using Kenwood for over 30 yrs, can't see myself buying pioneer.

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have an T-Mo LG G3 (D851) that had been running the D85120b software from April 7, 2015. We all know that WiFi Calling was not working on that version of software, which is why T-Mo pulled it and quit distributing it after only a couple of weeks. But Bluetooth worked perfectly for me. Then on June 9, the new D85120e came out to fix the wifi calling. So I updated to the new 20e yesterday without any problems. But now, bluetooth won't work through the phone no matter what I do. Even with LG wireless headphones or in my car. I have removed all devices, re-paired all devices, everything possible. Can't place or receive calls on my headset now, nor can I place or receive calls through my car now, even though both devices say paired and connected (1 at a time of course). This just started yesterday when I upgraded to D85120e. Any ideas out there? Please help and thank you very much.
I had to delete and pair my bluetooth devices again after I upgraded to 20e. That fixed it for me.

Thanks for the reply, but as I said in the original post, I have already done that numerous times. I have also done complete "factory" resets of both bluetooth devices (headphones and car system) and I still get the same result. I wish it had been that easy. Thanks for answering though.
Issue resolved. Just an update to close this thread. Fortunately for me, after I had upgraded to D85120e, I had done a complete TWRP backup. After that I flashed 2 TWRP zips that i wanted to use. I flashed the zip to delete Carrier IQ and the zip file by @spiderio to raise the volume level of the speakers. It was one of these zips that killed the bluetooth. ( I am guessing it was the Volume increase since that one dealt with sound issues)
In any case, I restored the TWRP backup to the system before those 2 flashes and bluetooth came back fine. I hope this may help someone else sometime. Just FYI.
