My handset upgrade is coming up and I will be jumping on WP7 after a year with Android. To be more specific, the HD7. I've pretty much crammed as much info about WP7 as possible right now, but there's still one thing I'm not sure about, and that's bluetooth AVRCP. I thinking about getting a pretty decent stereo system with bluetooth and comes with a remote and I wonder if I would be able to fully control the music in WP7.
I paired my samsung sbh600 with my focus last night, play/pause/volume/next track/previous track all worked no problem...sound quality was pretty decent too, though a graphic equalizer would really help
oh yeah, and they got plenty loud too
jmerrey,
have you tried videos? i also have the Focus and for music it seems to work, but for videos the audio does not come through bluetooth and AVRCP does not work either. same on the HTC Surround and LG Quantum. not sure if it's just my bluetooth device, Jabra BT3030, but it worked fine with a Samsung MP3 player and a Microsoft KIN.
Same Bluetooth issue here
Samsung Focus
AT&T
When connected to my Sony DR-BT22 headset, phone calls are fine, Zune is fine, but if I switch over to play Youtube videos, the sound will switch to the handset itself. I can't find a setting to change it. Anyone have any ideas?
Everything plays through the wired headphones without an issue when I connect that way.
Ok great, so no one is experiencing any bluetooth problems? Specifically AVRCP.
I had a Philips tapster SHB7110 and my HD7 couldn't see it. I had to sell it because it became useless. It paired well with my HD2.

Me too. If you play videos in Zune, the phone only uses external speaker not the bluetooth. It's annoy MS needs to fix it.

lately I've noticed that when I'm using my jambox my phone will pair fine but there's times that it doesn't register that I turn off my jambox so it'll stay "paired" to my jambox or at least show that it is and it takes a couple of minutes for it to return to normal. Any help will be great. Thanks guys
I'm having the same issue with Ford/Microsoft Sync on CM9 Alpha 2. When I turn the car off and back on bluetooth stops working because the phone shows that its still paired with my car. What ROM are you running.
I am sure the problem pertains to the phone bluetooth. If I drive everyday, it pairs fine with my car bluetooth. But whenever I skip a day to drive or don't drive for more than 48 hours, it would have problem pairing up. I then have to disable and re-enable the bluetooth on the phone in order for them to pair.
I have had no such problem with my previous phone.
Well thanks guys, I'm on blazer 4.1. I think it's actually my Jambox. As if it fails to communicate with my phone at times, like when I turn it off my phone still shows it's connected

I think our phones suck major donkey balls when it comes to BT. I've had many, many random, unexplained occurrences that deal with BT. What you have mentioned is one of them. The one that really ticks me off is where the music player will open even when the bluetooth device that I am using does not have music streaming capability.

Did you ever try to watch Netflix while paired to BT speakers? The sound lags 2 seconds behind the image...
When paired to my car (2012 Ford with Microsoft SYNC) the voice call volume is extremely low. Listening to music while using the phone's default player seems ok. It's not great, but I can live with it.
Compared to my old Blackberry 8350 which was working absolutely perfect on BT, the E4GT is just disappointing.
Does anyone else use their Lumia 900 with their bluetooth-enabled car stereo?
Normally when I get in the car my phone should auto-detect and auto-connect to my car stereo via Bluetooth - but I find that it's not happening with my Lumia 900.
Anyone else seeing this issue or do I have a defective device? I never had this issue with my Focus or Titan.
I have not had a chance to use it with a car stereo, but I have had problems with connecting just a simple Bluetooth ear piece. Every now and then it will disconnect from the ear piece and I cannot get the Bluetooth to turn back on without rebooting the phone. I never had to do that with either my Focus S or Focus, although I still had the same disconnect from ear piece problem however, it would just reconnect itself rather than me having to check to make sure that the Bluetooth is on.
I do not have problems with this device and my in-car bluetooth, surprisingly. I say "surprisingly" because my car seems to be a bit temperamental in the same way that you describe in your post, with multiple phones. Had issues with the SGSII, the Surround on 7720 and on ansar's 8107 build, as well as previous phones.
Remarkably, the Nokia has auto connected every time so far.
But are you talking about streaming audio over BT, or just the voice services?
I haven't had any problems with my 900 connecting to my car. It connects and starts playing automatically.
I've noticed sound from video plays over bluetooth where with my Focus it would just play on the phone. Only problem with that is my car buffers the audio so it lags behind what you see on the screen.

Interesting. I was under the assumption that Win7 didn't allow audio from videos over bluetooth because I tried it on my focus and netflix and didn't get anything.
Hey thanks for all the input guys!
It seems to be a little flaky. Sometimes it auto-connects, and sometimes it doesn't. The good news is that it seems to be connecting more often than not.. so I can live with it now. I wonder if there's an underlying bug here..
Mine has actually been pretty solid on Bluetooth. My Jawbone Jambox, which I constantly had to fight to connect to my GNex, connects instantly every time.
Mine connects without any problem. Once I start the car engine, the phone picks it up quickly.

Same here. And can play audio from videos. Or at least youtube.
Seems a little slower for me connecting than my Samsung Focus, but once it connects, it seems to be fine.
Late arriver to this thread - I just got my Lumia 900 on Sunday.
It paired fine with my car's audio system (2011 Subaru Impreza, stock stereo), but has never once auto-connected when I start up the car.
If I'm thinking about it when I'm starting the car (not a safe bet in the morning, when I'm not thinking about ANYTHING), I can go to Settings\Bluetooth and tap on the car's entry in the Devices list - if I do that while the sound system is still searching for Bluetooth devices (about a 5-7 second window), then it connects; if I miss that window, then I have to go into the car's awkward menu system, tell it to search for my phone, and tap the phone's list item while it's doing so. And I have to do this every time I start the car, even though it's clearly NOT MY JOB...
I've seen others with this problem in various fora, and they were able to "fix" the issue by swapping out the phone for a new one that didn't do this. But I've also seen reports (even in this thread) from people saying it happened intermittently, or happened for a while and then "got better," which is something that neither hardware nor software problems usually do on their own.
Working on isolating the problem further, but I'll probably just end up swapping out the phone.
Other than that, I really like the Lumia. Gorgeous screen, just enough bigger than my Focus to make the experience pleasanter, but not so much as to feel chunky in my pocket.

Curious? Are any other phones paired with your car. There is probably a limit of 2 or 3 to auto connect.

It generally works fine with my Nissan Maxima 2010 (better than Samsung Focus or Focus S).
I have observed 3 problems:
- The car defaults to auto download the address book. If this is large, it can take 1-2 minutes before the phone truly connects. Turning off autodownload fixes this!
- Streaming music or podcasts will sometimes stutter, depending on the power state (charging, screen on or off), but clears up after 10 seconds.
- Sometimes the podcast/song info doesn't display on the screen - only play and pause. Most of the time it will show the track name and other controls on my heads up car display.

Hmmmm more or less same issues I'm experiencing with my Nissan Note 2011 - I noticed that if I play a track on my Lumia 900, pause it and then connect it to my car (via BT of course) - it will show the track details correctly.
If no track is playing and I connect it to the car and start playing any track - it won't show the track details. Other than that it works just fine and connects to my car even faster than the Nokia N85 I used to have...
I don't really mind about that displaying track details as I usually just connect to an internet radio station (thank you, TuneIn!) and listen to live streaming music (thank you, unlimited data plan! ) so that usually don't really have any details to show in the first place...
My lumia will connect to my car's hu ( alpine iva-w505 with kce-400bt) but will not sync my contacts over. My titan and quantum did...

Nope - I've deleted my old phone's pairing. This morning, I deleted this phone's pairing and tried out a friend's Lumia 900 - same issue. (I was able to do the initial pairing, but the phone wouldn't auto-connect to the stereo after either one was restarted.

Hm. My "Nope" should have been an "Ummmmm...." instead. Just solved this, I think - though I deleted the *audio* pairing between my old phone and my car, I didn't delete the *phone* pairing, because I didn't realize they were different things, accessed through completely different paths (audio pairing/deleting is done through the stereo controls and cryptic menus - phone pairing is done through annoying voice commands).
Now that I've *truly* removed all traces of my old phone and paired with my new one, auto-connect works like it used to. No blame for the Lumia here - the car's Bluetooth should have been able to give me *some* kind of hint about what the problem was....

So you all have been able to get audio to play over bluetooth? I have to plug in my aux jack in order to play music through my phone. Maybe its the way I paired it initially? 2012 Chevrolet Malibu.
Hey all
I have had a lot of trouble with my Galaxy's bluetooth connecting with the system in my Infiniti M37x
I now am able to have it so everytime I get into my car, the phone's "phone" bluetooth connects automatically, I can use the hands free system to make and receive calls AND the phonebook is downloaded into the system as well. Works just GREAT! I can talk on the phone and I have my contacts there. All hands free.
But......
that is only if I pair it to the phone part of the Galaxy.
If I also pair it to the audio device, then the troubles begin.
If I were to pair the audio to my car, the music sounds great...but once I turn off the car and leave, come back, the car won't recognize the phone part. Even if I go to BLUETOOTH settings, and click the little button, it won't stay or connect to my car.
This worked great with my EVO using Gingerbread.
Is this an ICS thing?
Are there any apps that would allow me to just leave the phone as the default car connection and if I want to listen to music, just click something to switch it over to audio part?
Whenever pair to the audio and I use the audio bluetooth connection, I have to unpair and start all over to get the phone to connect.
Hopefully this makes sense. Any advice would be helpful.

This is a Samsung thing (and I hate their phones because of this)
To have this function correctly, you need to enter car dock mode. To enter car dock mode, you need a samsung car dock.
If my phone is docked, I can stream music, receive calls, etc, all work great.
If I leave it in my pocket and I stream music and receive a call, the audio comes through the phone, and not through bluetooth.
My E4GT was like this. I opened an issue with Samsung to which they replied "Working as designed"
No other phones work like this, only Samsung and their ****ty bluetooth switching.
I think you can also solve this by going AOSP or AOKP.
I have no issue with my s3 when connecting to audio or phone. and im able to answer calls, and play music no problem
How did you pair both? Do you have to switch between the two?

I am also having this same problem but only after flashing a customer ROM. With the costume ROM the phone will connect phone and I can make calls no problem but I can not get music to stream to my car stereo no matter what I do with the costume ROM when back to stock just to verify this and I have no problems streaming music on stock ROM or making calls via Bluetooth.
Sprint GS3 horrible in car
The first two days the phone worked great. Now it connects but the sound is noisy and unintelligible from either end. I don't know what changed. anyone can help me on this? can I stream music through bluetooth if it ever starts working again?
are you running the stock software not modded in any way?
Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem that I think shouldn't happen on this phone.
I'm stock with the latest January update on Android 10.
Info: this problem was present before the update to 10.
Whenever I connect any Bluetooth device (airpods, car, moto intercom ,etc) I have to manually unpause the music to get it to start.
This happens on every player (Samsung Music, Google Play, YouTube premium, etc)
This is the first Android phone I have that doesn't do this and that shouldn't be seeing it's top tier.
I've looked online and it seems that all Samsung phones have this feature and the only topics I get are how to disable it !?
Can anyone shed some light ? Is it happening to you as well ?
Thanks
I may not have the answer that you want to hear but I did find a temporary solution. There's an app in the play store nRF Connect that works. Slide over to bonded, put devices in pairing mode and hit scan and wah lah. Any questions I'll do the best I can to help.
I've noticed the same on my galaxy buds, but when I connect another pair of wireless earbuds that i sometimes use they connect as soon as i turn them on when Bluetooth is activated, without me manually having to go into the settings and do it. Not sure the reason for this. Would've thought the earbuds that's actually made by Samsung would be the ones connecting right away.

Hej...
I don't if this would help You...
When I got the Note 10+ there's Was, out of the box on initial settings, active few Bixby Routines... and that, till i figure out this, was driving me crazy... When I turn Bixby Routines off everything back to normal...
Well I've had a similar problem. For me the issue is that it always autostart even tho I have BT autoplay unchecked in the car. If I have listen to any music, audio books, podcasts and turn them of when I exit the car, not leave them in the background, they will start playing even if the cars media system is offline.
Works perfectly with my wifes OnePlus 6, but not for me. Extreamly annoying to noticed that the audio book is playing after a 60min drive and I haven't heard anything..
I tried the app Tasker, it was a compleat waste of $4 for me anyway, didn't work, will try nRF Connect now.
I don't want to have BT of due to that I aways have my Jabra buds with me so that I can talk while driving if needed.
