Ok yesterday I was streaming Slacker Radio from my Nexus 6 with ford sync in my 2015 f150. I also use a separate headset for phone calls so I go into the sync settings and I un check anything that has to do with the phone and just stream the media. Always worked just great. All the sudden yesterday while I was listening to music it started disconnecting. My Nexus 6 is rooted so I figured it was maybe a Rom issue so I reflashed a different ROM. Right away I reconnected to Ford Sync and instantly have the disconnection problems again. I tried my unrooted Galaxy Tab s and connected it to Ford Sync which in the past work just fine as well and it also has the disconnecting problem. Does Ford put out an update or something and screwed everything up? Just wondering if anyone else out there experiencing this problem.
Today I re sync it with the Nexus 6 and all is working lol so I don't know what was wrong with it.

Ok, so I'm new to the forum and have a question. I have a 2012 hyundai elantra and a galaxy s3. the problem that I am having is that everytime I get into the car I have to resync the bluetooth. I had a iphone before and never had a problem, I would get in and out of the car and the car would recognise it without me doing anything at all, this is how I know its not a issue with the car. Can someone please help me out with any tips or suggestions on what to do? also, I lurked around this forum for reasons for why to switch from the iphone and it was a great help and I dont miss the iphone at all! oh, also if it matters, I'm in canada and I have done nothing to the phone, its completely stock from telus.
If you turn bluetooth off you might havebto resync it everytime if you leave it on it should auto connect just see if that works

How long are you waiting to see if it will connect? My S3 sometimes takes almost a minute before it automatically connects (2011 Kia). My Atrix used to connect almost instantly.

Anyone have or heard of an issue where the galaxy nexus syncs perfect, can make calls, etc with a my ford sync system but if the phone is connected via bluetooth the GPS navigation does not work and the system either has to be hard reset or the phone has to be unpaired and then the navigation works. This is problematic for obvious reasons especially while driving. I have reset this persons phone, and the navi system works with other galaxy nexus's. His is the only problem. The guy at ford said weird characters in email contacts/contacts can mess it up but with over 4,000+ contacts this is not a viable option. any ideas?

I had my contacts give weird characters with my Ford Sync but that was with my Nexus S, my Gnex doesn't have that problem. As far as the navigation, it works fine for me when BT is connected. You might need to go to your BT options and make sure you have your internal GPS selected not Ford Sync.
For the contacts issue, you may need to flash some older Roms maybe a 4.11 or maybe even ICS. If it clears up flash back to your Rom of choice. Which one are you currently running? I can try to reproduce the error with my Nexus S and see what causes it.
FYI I have a 08 Ford Fusion.
Did the reset include pulling a fuse out of the vehicle for a period of time (like 10 minutes) and then reconnecting the devices after the fuse is put back?
That's what it took a friend to have both continuously in sync. Radio system got reset though.
Sounds crazy, but it has continued to work flawlessly since. Owners manual should indicate the correct fuse to pull out.

Just an FYI,
Instead of going through 4,000+ contacts that have weird characters, we decided to not sync the phonebook to the my ford touch after factory resetting his phone. This seems to have solved the problem as of now. A weird side note... when phone is connected via BT it takes considerably longer for GPS in car to compute the route even after the phonebook fix, compared to no phone being connected.
I have a new Note 4 (Verizon) and a 2011 Kia Soul. Prior to the Note 4 I had a Note 2 (Verizon) that I paired with my car for the last 2 years without issue. I am able to successfully pair the Note 4 and the car and use all of the Bluetooth functions I would expect to work. The problem is, often (not 100% of the time), the next time I try to connect the phone to the car that connection fails. I then have to unpair and re-pair them to get them to connect. Neither side gives me anything useful in the way of error messages.
I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this further. Is there a way to pull Bluetooth connection logs out of the phone?
I have the same issue, but worse. I have a 2011 KIA Sorento, and a Samsung Note 4. The Bluetooth connectivity is very intermittent. One minute is works and then stops. One minute it plays music fine and all of a sudden, the music will start going in and out, like a bad cellphone call and then disconnect. I try to reconnect and it won't. I've gotten in the car and it works great and the next time it works like crap! I've been on a cell call, talking through Bluetooth and it will automatically disconnect, but still shows connected. I have to switch to speakerphone to talk and then it all of a sudden reconnects back to Bluetooth. Does anyone know if this is a known Samsung issue? I saw a previous post from Dec 2014 which stated, " Apparently, the Note 4 and Edge all use the newest AVCRP 1.5, which nobody else uses yet. Nissan told me that they were told by Samsung, that in their next update, they're going to revert the phones back to AVCRP 1.3, which is the standard in the industry." Has this occurred?
I had the same kind of problems with my Galaxy S 6 on my 2013 F150 with Sync. I was only able to fix it by getting rid of the S6. The Note4 I had before (on 4.4.whatever) and the Note4 I have now (on 5.0.1) have no issues.
Hi,
Has anyone else had problems pairing their new HTC 10 to their car. Even better anyone got Ford Sync 2/My Ford Touch?
I can't get my phone to pair with my car for hands free

I had zero problems with pairing to My Ford Touch in my Focus. There are some messages to pay attention to (mostly permissions) and an option to add the 10 as a trusted device.
In the past I also discovered that not allowing automatic phonebook downloads (this is in the MFT menu) helped with the Blue Tooth audio not stuttering.

Both the device and Sync can see each other but it doesn't matter whether I initiate it from the device or car it won't pair. Sync doesn't come up with the pin prompt it just sits there.
Perhaps I'll try a sync master reset if you got it working ok. I thought it might have been a compatibility issue with a new bluetooth radio stack on the htc 10.
If that fails I'll have to bug my dealer about updating my cars software.

Have a '16 Ford and Sync paired right up with my 10.

I tried a Sync master reset twice and rebooted my 10. It's not having any of it.
I tried it in my mum's 2012 Focus and it paired with Sync first time no issues.
Guess I'll be taking my car back to Ford and hope they can fix it with a software update.

Make sure you remove (unpair) sync from your phone & restart it before trying to repair it to sync after the master reset. I also had no problems pairing my 10 to MyFord Touch.
Some cars won't pair unless you're in park also, so make sure you finish pairing it before driving.

Bummer. Yeah, see about a Sync software update. Before you make an appt, you can go to the Ford site and follow the instructions on determining if you need an update (sync my ride, I think it is).
My Ford Touch is running 3.6.2; however, 3.8 is now available. Good luck. Definitely sounds the the issue is your vehicle's software.

I've already applied the October update which seems to be the latest an end user can load manually.
I'm going to try pulling the fuse to force a hard reboot to see if that fixes it. Otherwise it'll be going back to the dealer to see if they can fix it.
I can't understand why my mum's Focus worked on 4 year old software but mine didn't on 6 month old software though. Just computers being fickle I guess.

Fuse didn't make any difference either.
So took it in to Ford this morning, tech comes out and guess what. Pairs first time, haha.
Only thing he did different was have the ignition on (rather than just turning sync on manually in accessory mode).
Stupid computers! Lol.
Fix
I have a possible fix.
My issue was I couldn't pair my HTC 10 with my ford territory 2012 Bluetooth. My phone detected it but it would read "pairing failed" on my car dash screen.
You need to download two apps:
- BlueScan
- BT direct
Use bluescan to identify the car Bluetooth address (a string of letters and numbers)
Then, using BT direct, enter the address manually and hit pair
This worked for me.
Hope it helps
Just got my VZW Note 7 and cannot connect anything BT. Anyone else have this issue?
It takes much longer to find devices.

I do not have issues with my Huawei watch, however, when on a call in my car immediately after activating the phone, the connection between the phone and car was slightly crackled at times...happened a dozen times over a 30 minute con call. I could tell it was not service related as it was a totally different sound than my Note 3.
Canadian variant here. No issues, paired 3 different devices. All working flawelessly
Canadian Bell. No issues so far
Sprint type here. No issues here, paired with headphones in seconds.
Mine wont fully pair with my Zen Watch 2 and won't pair at all with my Alcatel One watch. Of course it pairs perfectly with my Gear 2 watch. Pairs with several BT speakers as well.
No issues here. Rock solid with ZenWatch 1, Plantronics headset, and bargain bin Bluetooth speaker.
Ok, I figured it out! When I initially got the phone and logged in with my google account, it attempted to download all my apps and I stopped it. This morning I attempted to install android wear again and connect my zenwatch 2 and it didnt work. So, I force quit google play apps and uninstalled the updates. I rebooted and let it reinstall all the junk and update google play services. Now the zen app works as well as android wear.
No issues at all with my Verizon model
