Car bluetooth disconnect/reconnect during call - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My phone gets successfully connected to the car bluetooth and I've no issues playing audio over it or accessing the phonebook from the car display.
The problem is that during phone calls it occasionally disconnects and reconnects automatically in about 5 seconds. I couldn't find any pattern with this issue - with some calls this doesn't appear at all, with other calls this happens multiple times.
I haven't had this kind of a problem with any other phone.
Any ideas how to solve it or how to collect additional details (logging, etc)?
Car: Honda CR-V 2013
Phone: Galaxy S4 Mini plus (GT-i9195i), stock firmware

I'm sorry. I can't help you. I don't have car and I have never used Bluetooth in any car.
I hope somebody can help you

Problem with 2 simultaneous bluetooth devices

I have been having a problem with using 2 bluetooth devices simultaneously and was wondering if there is a problem with my phone or bluetooth devices or if this is normal/expected.
I have bluetooth in my truck (2012 GMC 2500HD) that only works for phone calls. I also have a bluetooth adapter that I plug into the cigarette lighter for music. The adapter is capable of playing music and working for phone calls, but I have the headset profile turned off in my phone for that device so only the headphone profile connects.
On their own, each device works fine, but with both connected the vehicle bluetooth continuously connects and disconnects. Has anyone seen this before? How can I go about troubleshooting and fixing this so I can use both?
I have a stock GSM Nexus on 4.0.4.

In my Camry I use built in BT for phone calls and plug in a BlackBerry Gateway into AUX port to stream music. So 2 BT devices are connected at the same time.All is working well, meaning when music is playing and the phone call comes in, Nexus switches to the correct BT device. The only issue I'm having is that sometimes I have to manually connect to the Blackberry gateway.
Thanks for the reply. I was kind of afraid of that. Unfortunately it seems like it is the vehicle bluetooth that is the problem, the one that I really can't replace or do anything with.

Thanks for the feedback. I will do some testing with other bluetooth devices and my wife's iPhone to see if I can mount enough evidence to convince the dealer it is a problem with the truck and not my phone.

[Q] Curious BT issue

Hi
I'm using a stock samsung ROM, only rooted.
When using my car headset, I encount a curious issue I did not have with my old Desire HD ;
When I call someone, everything is OK during the call;
The thing happens when the phone is connected but no call ongoing : periodically (around once each 30 seconds), my device bluetooth disconnects from the car audio system, then reconnects whithout any action from my side.
Actually, it's like the device was dropping into an economic mode after 30 seconds, and then wakes up just a second after and reconnects to the car headset... and I noticed this does not happen when the device is streaming music to my BT car system.
Do you have an idea of what's happening and how I could resolve it ?
Thanks
Nico
Hi all
for those who have this issue, the Samsung official update of january has fixed it.
Bye

[Q] help Samsung Note 2 Stuck in Headset mode

Hi Guys
I am in trouble. My phone is stuck is in headset mode when receiving calls. Really doing my head in.
The problem is started when my new car. I have never used any headset with this phone.
New car has a Bluetooth handsfree. When it's connected all calls received goes in headset mode. But if I make a call via the car Bluetooth handsfree there's no issue . When it is disconnected from the car connection the same problem continues, although a restart solves this problem.
How can I solve this issue with car Bluetooth? It was working well with my previous car Bluetooth system, e.g. Parrot Bluetooth.
Does this also keep stuck when turning off bluetooth only?

Bluetooth connection problems in car

My Note connects to my car (2014 Nissan Altima) but it does not work properly.
My Galaxy S3 worked perfectly fine. The music played, titles of songs showed, calling and phone book features worked, and connected every time automatically. Now it is a completely different story with the Note 4. At first the only problem was that the titles or any information about the song did not show up on the dash. But now I can't even make a call. Even if I manually go into my phone and call someone I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The only thing that works is the music plays through the speakers.
Is anyone else having this problem or, most importantly, know a solution?
I posted about this too, I have the exact same problem in 3 different cars from 2008 all the way to 2015 and everyone says to try and update the cars firmware for the new bluetooth but that did not help. The funny thing is, I had it working fine for a bit then out of the blue it just stopped and now the phone acts like my stereo is a bluetooth headset.

I am having the same issue with my Note 4. My truck has the Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth. With my Note 2 and my wife's S5 i can make a receive calls with no problem. With my Note 4 I can play music over bluetooth, but if I try to make or receive a call I can't hear the person on the other end and they cannot hear me. With one exception. I have found that if I was listening to music over bluetooth then I can make/receive calls with no issues, as long as I let the phone app stop the music playback.
It is driving me crazy.
Note 4 bluetooth issues
I am having issues with the bluetooth on my Porsche PCM when on calls it sounds like there is a bunch of paddles prattling for a few seconds every 10 t0 20 seconds and then the call will sometimes drop. Any ideas?
Hopefully some new firmware in the future can fix these silly problems

So I think I may have found a work around. This morning I went into the bluetooth settings on my phone and I unchecked the Call Audio box and the Media Audio box for my truck. I exited settings. Then went back to settings and checked the boxes. After that my bluetooth worked perfectly for calls and media.
Suckage...

Mine worked with this work around one time. Then back to the old situation. I have a Note 4 and am driving a 2014 Nissan Altima. I'm hoping that with the new Lollipop 5.0 update coming out to the Note 4 that it will be resolved. We shall see. It's very annoying. My old S4 worked flawlessly in my car.
I have constant pairing issues with my 2012 elantra.

I have the same pairing issues in my 2011 Kia Soul - it will pair fine and work - until I shut the car. Then it is a constant pairing failed. If I stop and unpair and re-pair it works again - until I shut the car.
Check under Bluetooth for your car, hit the settings icon next to it, is call and media checked?

Exactly the same issue here. Maybe there is a firmware issue that can be addressed by the dealership.

Easy fix for car Bluetooth issues.
Iny car I would repeatedly get pairing failed issues and would have to unpaid/pair every time I got in the car....
I disabled smart remote and have not had one issue since.

have had the same problem intermittently on my Ford Edge with My Sync connects fine once then the next time connects but wont answer calls or volume drops, only solution i have found is to unpair the device forget it and start over (this happened with my S5 on android 4.4.4 as well)
To disable it... Just long press the icon (in the app tray) and drag it to the top... There is an option I believe 3rd from left that allows you to disable it....I disable all the bloatware I don't use.... I didn't disable smart remote thinking I would use it....
How did I figure out that would work.... I have no clue... But I was having the pairing failed every single time I got in the car... Had to unpair and remove device every time.... After disabling... Haven't had an issue once...

new Ford Edge and same thing paired and worked once using this fix then back to same ol' crap.
I too tried this method of disabling the smart remote but did not have any favorable results. I have tried to sync my phone to two different vehicles and will not even sync one time. Tried on a Ford Sync system and on a 2013 Altima with no success. This is the oh problem I have had with this phone and it is driving me nuts! If any good fixes are found please post for those of us who are having this vehicle Bluetooth problems. Take care.
I also disabled smart remote. After a couple of days it started giving me issues. I have a 2012 Hyundai elantra.

Nissan 370Z, no bluetooth connection issues with me. Every once in a while after start up, the initial song title doesnt show on the screen, but once it goes to the next track it's fine. Note 3 never had that issue.

Bluetooth in Car Not Auto-Connecting

Is anyone else having issues with their 5x connecting to their car's bluetooth automatically (I drive a 2015 Subaru Forester)?
My Nexus 5 would always just automatically connect, but since I switched to the 5x I have to either connect to the car from the phone or vice versa.
I'm sure I could work something out with tasker or whatnot, but that feels to me as though it should not be necessary?
I have yet to get back in my car after pairing to my bluetooth adapter (I just paired this morning) but I will check later.
Do you have a list of saved or prioritized devices in the car? I wonder if the Forester bluetooth is trying to connect to your first device (Nexus 5) unsuccessfully.
I have a 2014 Ford Focus. The bluetooth will connect automatically, but I have noticed weirdness when placing calls. The car will take a while to initiate the call and then display an error saying "call cannot be completed". Then, 2 seconds later the call audio (ringing) will occur.
I am hoping that these are just some initial bluetooth issues that will be ironed out.
I had deleted my old device from the car's memory.
Another thing I am experiencing is that even if my phone IS connected, the calls are going through the device, and not my speakers.
It still pauses the music...
It could be either my car or the device. I've heard of other Subaru owners having issues with multiple devices in their car, just wasn't sure if it was a little of Column A and B. It seems likely enough it's a little bit of both.
No issues at all. I have a 2012 Dodge charger with the 8.4 Uconnect. This phone actually connects quicker than my S6 edge did and the sound is louder at max volume (on the phone) than the S6E. The only thing that doesn't work is the text messaging from the Uconnect, but overall I am very pleased.

My in-laws own a 2015 Forester so perhaps next time I see them I'll try to pair my 5X. May be a while before that happens though so don't hold your breath
2013 Honda Civic here (so cool, I know). I'm getting mixed results on it automatically connecting. Sometimes yes, but other times I need to connect manually. Yesterday, Bluetooth audio got really choppy in the car, and I had to restart in order to stabilize that again. Have not seen the choppiness issue with my other Bluetooth devices.

I had no problem with my Mazda 5 connecting to my Moto E on 4.4.4, but since the upgrade to 5.1 I now have to turn bluetooth off then back on every time I get in the car for it to connect. Also, the connection can drop. I tried deleting existing connection data from both car and phone, setting up from scratch, but it hasn't made any difference. Wish I could downgrade by phone's OS back to 4.4.4.
Might depend on the sound system. Reconnects to my 2013 VW Passat every time.

No issues in my Audi or aftermarket radio in the Subie... It sounds like you may not have calls being routed through the phone (based on your comment), maybe that is causing the connection issue? Something like only a phone connection is automatically connected (and the audio comes with it), but an audio connection is not?
I have a 2011 Mitsubishi Ralliart and i don't have any issues with my 5X auto connecting to the factory bluetooth system, my problem is the factory bluetooth is garbage since any time someone calls there is too much interference i can't hear what the other person is saying.

Exact same issue here but with a Kia. As soon as the phone "reacts" to a call being started on the headunit, the headunit says "call was hung up". As soon as the call is answered, it offers to be used for handsfree. It's as if the phone's "CallStatus" messages over bluetooth aren't correct
Subject crosstrek 2014, BlackBerry z10 never had an issue whatsoever, but since I got my 5x, I get half a connection (Bluetooth connects with no audio), with 6.0.1, no automatic connect... Blackberry's reputation may be downhill, but I sincerely miss its reliability and the hub...
Nexus 5X and 6P Uconnect 8.4 Grand Cherokee 2014
I recently started experiencing a similar issue.
I use my 6p for music and audio only, and my 5x for phone calls and sms.
About a week ago, they would stay connected as long as nothing was being streamed. However, as soon as I received a call on the 5X, the phone would lose BT connection to the system, and then connect back after about 30 seconds. It would do that throughout all of the calls, regardless of the length of each call. After the first 2 calls, I started streaming music from Google Play Music on my 6p, and the same thing would happen.
I removed Uconnect from both phones, and both phones from Uconnect. Paired them back again, and it is still doing the same thing.
I will try resetting the Uconnect to factory default later today and see if it has any positive effect, and will post my findings here.
If anyone else has a uconnect system with the same issue, please post it here, and we can try looking for a solution together.
Thank you,
