Since updating to 4.2.2 i have car bluetooth problems with my xperia z.
The phone connects to my car audio via bluetooth ok but unlike before i do not get the message "downloading phone data".
The music on my phone plays ok through my car audio as do my satnav apps. Received calls are played through my car audio aswell but the problem i now have is that my contacts (phonebook) do not transfer to my car audio so i have to dial from my phone.
Very randomly and rarely i do get the "downloading phone data" message and when this happens my contacts do appear on my car audio.
Anyone else have this problem or any ideas on how to solve it please?
Same here mate.
But there is a workaround you have to do every time you turn of the bluetooth: just go to apps->all->bluetoosh share and clear data. Then the phonebook and call log will be transferred to the car.
If you deactivates the bluetooth on the phone and activates again, the problem will return.
Hope it helps.

I have a stock T-Mobile Vario-3 from first release, no ROM updates, and I have an odd problem when connecting it to my car stereo via Bluetooth. Initially I thought it was a bug with my Pioneer head unit, but I've just got a new car and it's doing the same thing with the Renault factory-fitted unit.
When the (already paired) phone auto-connects via bluetooth, the car stereo reports that it is dialling the last number - although the phone does not actually dial, and the phone itself continues to work normally as if it is not connected.
If I reboot the Vario the problem seems to go away until after I have made another phone call, and then the problem returns again. On the old Pioneer head unit I could just cancel the 'phantom call' by selecting back to the radio or CD input, but on the new Renault the only control keys that work are volume, so I have to disconnect and reset the phone again to get it to connect correctly.
Once I get past this glitch, everything works perfectly - good stereo audio output for my MP3s with playback-control via the car's buttons, hands-free phone use, accessing the phone's Contacts directory via the car controls, etc.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a proper fix?
Or maybe someone is telling me that I really do need to get a Touch Pro 2....

I am having an issue with my N1 and my 2010 Acura TL Bluetooth.
Sometimes it connect just fine, others it connects and then drops and still other times will connect the media portion, but not the phone portion.
Does this sound like a software issue(Bluetooth Stack) or defective hardware on the N1?
My car's Bluetooth is fine as it pairs and stays connected to my older phone and other phones that I have tested.

I'm pretty sure it's software-based. IIRC, Bluetooth is partially broken on Android and hasn't been completely fixed yet.

It's a software issue with Android which will [hopefully] be fixed in soon-to-come Android versions
I have same problem with Nokia's car kit and N1. When I start my car, phone connects to HF and says "connected to phone and media" (or something like that) in BT-menu.
Spotify plays music via A2DP thru car kit without any problems, but sometimes phone connection is partially dropped (incoming voice) without any notification. When call arrives, Spotify stops playing music as it should be and I can answer to phone call, but I can't hear callers voice. However, caller can hear my voice, so only callers voice is muted.
This happens randomly. Sometimes phone audio works and sometimes not.
Is this problem reported to Google?

Can I upgrade bluetooth 2.0 to bluetooth 3.0 one my nexus one ???
I have a Pioneer car stereo with built in Parrot bluetooth and media connection. I had this issue with my previous phone so it must be either an Android issue or problem with my car stereo bluetooth. Every time I connect bluetooth to the car stereo the phone enables media connectivity and I have to manually go in and turn it off again. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off again as it says it's connected even though it isn't (tick box is ticked but if I untick it it connects and I have to untick it again and OK it to verify). Also if I disconnect it then cycle through the sources on the car stereo as soon as I get to bluetooth it enables it again.
I don't want it on because I want to hear media audio through the phone speakers and phone calls through the car stereo.
Android 4.1.2 at present.

I think the answer lies in the question here,, Parrot Bluetooth Media Connection.
The stereo isn't 'smart' enough to determine that what is connecting to it is a Phone/MP3 and as such you wont be able to split the audio to have the phone play music and the Stereo take calls, it'll end up being one over the other.
One way around this would be to test with a completely different Bluetooth Headset to see if this allows music to be played on the Device and Calls to come through on the Headset,, failing that its going to have to be a potential dev jobby to split how the device sends its audio and to what specific device,,, if that lies with HTC and Android/Us or Pioneer/Parrot themselves,, might be worth asking whats the official standpoint on this with the Manufacturer and see if they are getting this same issue from multiple folks

I have the same problem with my HTC One across four different ROMs, two GE and two Sense.
It's NOT an issue with my car stereo (uConnect system) as it works flawlessly on my Nexus 7 and VZW Galaxy Nexus. I prefer to have media (music, Ingress etc...) play over the phone. Only thing I want to play over the uConnect is the actual phone. No matter how many times I unselect media in the bluetooth settings it selects it again.
I see this is an old thread, anyone have any ideas?
Nope. It does not always do it though. I found that if I leave bluetooth on it seems to be OK just as long as I don't switch through from aux to radio to CD and back to USB again on the Pioneer. If I use the automatic bluetooth app to save battery it connects but then connects with the media option enabled. Bummer.

I've just installed Bluetooth Auto Connect have to go run some errands in a little while, I'll let you know if it helps out managing profiles or not.
If it works let me know what settings you used as I don't understand all the options lol.
bluetooth problem
Hi developers: Thanks Team Venom for a great ROM. I have only one problem. Rom 2.7 no problem with Bluetooth in the car. 3.1 Installation of clean and dirty disables bluetooth. Ten seconds connected and then disconnected. Again, connects and disconnects. So it all over again. It is in version 3.6 ... any change BT software? You can install the software separately BT? Or any other advice? Thank you very much
edit: I deleted the original settings in the car. Again the connection and still the same problem.
This only happens in my car but...
When I start the car, my handset connects.b, but the music will not play through the car. To get it to work, I have to wait until the car connects with my phone, then turn BT off and on again. Every time. Anyone else suffering from this.
My Bluetooth is working with my car. This is normal procedure that it will take a couple second to sync phone with car system. So even after a 1 minute even you load up Pandora radio or anything, it wont play on your car's stereo ? do you get any error message on phone ? The only thing which i noticed is missing artist and song title tag on my car's screen. I think it is caused by Pandora radio, cause when I restart Pandora, it will work fine. Try to reset your phone or 1st delete Bluetooth car sync profile and re-sync again. Good luck.
Do you have a Bluetooth headset connected when you connect to your car?
If so, go in to your BT device profiles on the phone, open up your headset, and disable media audio.

No message on the phone. I play though Google Music and on the phone it looks like it is playing as normal. I'm only using a simple BT device that conects through the aux port as Ford want a small fortune to supply the bluetooth adapter. I'll have a little play though, thanks for the advice.

No headset connected, nothing else via BT in range to connect to. I'll see if I can find anything else in the profiles though.
Maybe it's Google music. I will try to play music whatever it's store on your memory. I know it seems stupid but it's good to try it. I tried my nexus on my friend's car and no issues. He own Audi, I got Hyundai with navigation. Anyway there is not a lot settings regarding Bluetooth. Like I said before, might be worth to reset phone .
I have a similar issue and it is only with my car as well. It pairs up, the bluetooth audio controls on the stereo come up, but it doesn't play unless I hit play on the phone. After that, I can skip tracks, pause, etc. This happens about 90% of the time, to the point where it almost catches me off guard when it works like it is supposed to. This did not happen with my previous phone (HTC One M8) or any of the iPhone versions I had before it.
There is a Bluetooth car connection issue, if I place a call via my car's bluetooth connection, the phone starts to place the call, I hear a "pop" and the bluetooth connection cuts off. None of the call is handled through my car and the car displays "Unknown Number" for just a couple seconds. The phone continues the call but its now through the handset. So, now I'm not getting anything through my car's system.
Need help in resolving this issue. Have tired clearing Bluetooth cache, resetting the connection in the phone as well as the car but to no avail.
