I have searched the Desire hd section for any Bluetooth problems, but seems that im the only one with a problem????!!!
My Bluetooth conectivty SUCKS with any headsets!
i have tried 4 diffrent headsets! and all "god" ones.
But i get the same result, as soon as i move i get lots of bad sound (Donw know how to explane, but like a Tv sound without a signal)
and i have to have the phone at a maximum of 5-10 cm so i can get a "good" listning sound.
The person who talkes with me have no problems.
I tested with 3 diffrent Nokia BT
one of them is bh-606
Jabra Bt as well.
I have the latest firmware. But lots of apps in my phone? can that cause a problem?
Try settings/energy saving function/ deactivate bluetooth. (Turn off)

Hmm Thanks but that only says that it will close Bt connection while there are no calls active?!
I can alsaw add that my Wifi Connection sucks aswell. tried it with 3 routers. and if im not in the same room so the connection is not even detected! But if im in the same room i came upp to 18 mb download with a speed test app. So the Range seems to be a problem both for the BT and Wifi.
Update your radio. Find how to by reaching.

isnt that the latest radio?
The settings/energy saving function/ deactivate bluetooth. (Turn off)
Didnt help
And i really dont wanna make a hard reset and reinstall all my apps and settings! and i dont have root so i can make a backup of all that.
1,72.405.3 is rom, not radio
look in the development forums, in one of the stickys there are the radios listed
but u'll need root + other things to flash a new radio

Thanks for the advice, but cant have root with the new firmware!
Have even tested more on the BT part and discovered that whenever im nearby any Electrical eqwipment like Pc or Tv it gets even worst!
At best its when i have it in 10 cm distance and with no electrical things around! and not moving at all. then its Near Okej.

Need to use BT units while driving + at work and i cant!
Edit:
i did a little test today with a Stereo Bt unit!
then bt connection works well!
so it seems that the problem is a software issue and its only with mono bt units!!!
Yet a nother sieries of tests!
I have now concloded that its the Mono Bt units i have problems with, and that its a software issue!
I used the BT in my car, and the sound works without any problems..
And i tested with a Nokia Stereo Bt, and same there, even upp to 10 m i have a clear sound..
SO it seems to be only with regular mono Bt units i have this problem!
Any tips?
Anyone managed to get music from the desire hd working over an Audi bluetooth car kit? I've tried BT Mono but that doesn't work, I think its something to do with A2DP and audi not supporting that???
Wondering if anyone has any information or has got it working.
Thanks

I think it has something to do with Audi because I have no issues running music through bluetooth in my car. When you connect your bluetooth to the car audio, does it says headset and music connected?

No, when I turn Bluetooth on the logo at the top changes slightly just to let me know its connected and I can access phone book etc. But the radio.still plays, the second a phone call comes through the radio drops and the phone rings. When Finished with call the radio starts again. If I play music nothing happens don't hear any sound and it doesn't stop the radio.
I read that Audi doesn't support music playback without an update and adapter although they don't seem to sell them.
Btw my setup is just the Audi a4 sline 2010 default, Bluetooth built in and built in radio etc.

Ok.. Usually when I connect to bluetooth, first it will say connect to phone and then connect to media.. there's one thing that I forgot to tell is that I have to go to Bluetooth in the Main menu than I am able to hear the songs from the phone. Without going to my Bluetooth Selection from the Menu I am not able to hear any songs.. Hope this helps..

But what version of mmi and where in the world are you? Different countries get different default options installed! Also depends on what modules are enabled inside the computer. Some of these settings can be changed by accessing a hidden menu from your console others might need to be changed using the Ross-tech cable I mentioned earlier. If you need more help on version info etc do a search on the A5oc forums.

Which rom is your dev? BT is broken in some rom. you can flash the right rom.
I'm in the UK, the rom I use is cm7.0.2 so the latest one. I'd be interested in finding a Bluetooth menu or hidden menu on the computer??
Ill have a look later for the version info as I don't know.

Fair enough, the hidden menu depends on version of mmi either the 2g or 3g but you press both car and setup together for 5 seconds. WARNING do not enter the bootloader menu. And there are heaps of how-to's available online. Many things are customizable. Lighting behaviour through to enabling of tv on the go if you have that option. Auto folding mirrors, different dash menu options, how many wipes the wipes do etc, list is not quite endless but almost, needless to say I've done most and can provide links etc if you are interested. Pm me.

Oh... If I am not mistaken Cyanogen do have issues with Music over Bluetooth. I have the same issue.. Have you tried with other Roms?
Yes I have, it doesn't even try to be honest... only time the connection from phone to car is made is when a call comes in.
I know that at the moment this isn't possible, but does anyone know if there is work being done on the Android bluetooth stack to enable a tablet to be used as a bluetooth hands-free device? A bit of searching shows that it is a regularly requested feature but I can't seem to find any info on any developers who are definitively working on this (except for one little questionable nugget that stated that the CM developers were playing with Bluetooth. Hardly enough to go on.).
I want to incorporate a Nexus 7 into my 370Z as a carpc but the lack of being able to integrate phone features is holding me back. Using data apps like grooveip are a no go for me as data connections around here aren't reliable enough for consistent daily use. Thanks in advance for any info.
I'm not to sure of what your asking, but if you wanna make calls from your tablet using BT this app allows you to do that as well as send SMS and MMS from it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apdroid.tabtalk hope that helps and is what you mean

I appreciate the suggestion but I don't think this will work. What I would like to do is mount my tablet in my car and use it as a front end for my phone to make/take calls the way an OEM bluetooth car system would normally work. My understanding is that your tablet must be paired as a hands free device, which android tablets currently don't do. I looked at Tablet Talk but when using that app from what I can gather when you accept a call on the tablet it actually activates the call on your handset. Ultimately I want to use the tablet as a hands free solution as I drive stick and holding my phone to my ear while driving is a no-no.
In the past I've used bt headsets but I lose them constantly and frankly I'm tired of replacing them. Oh well.
Well, good luck in your search! And you hit tablet talk spot on BTW lol. Oh and if you do find a solution, plz post it! This sounds like something I would love to use.

Thanks. I'll thinking I'll probably go the route of a more traditional carpc for now, but if and when this becomes a feature you can take advantage of with android tablets I'll have to reevaluate the situation.

This would be a great extension or compliment to the various apps that let you send/receive SMSs from your tablet via your phone. If I could at least receive/answer calls too, I could leave the phone elsewhere at home.
Just to let you know I've contacted parrot and garmin with regards to something like this.
I want a solution where I can make my nexus 7 a full media center with DAB radio and a good sat nav without needing a cellular link and hands free for my phone which includes the voice commands available through the tablet.
So hopefully they will get back to me and I'll post up here what they say.
Something I haven't solved yet either is getting all the antennae feeds into the nexus, I was thinking of getting a sharks fin antennae and wiring them into a raspberry pi to then blue toothing them into the nexus, I could also then attach a HDD to the pi to use it as a server to.
I want to do it this way so I can take the 7 otu and with me if I wish, rather than having it hard wired in. also if would allow for device upgrade.
Theres a nice thread on install and with references to the tasker app to get the tablet to work with the ignition and other functionality like that;

BT app
There is an app under development for this I think. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyandroid.phonelink
I'm thinking of dropping a Nexus 7 in my car but the lack of hands free bluetooth is kind of a deal breaker.
Did anybody ever get this working? I have my Nexus installed in the car, and would love to be able to use it as a speakerphone. I don't need to actually be able to make the calls via the tablet, just need to be able to use it as a basic bluetooth speakerphone / headset type of thing.
It sounds like it should be something fairly simple, but I cannot seem to find much.
I have been wanting this for a long time, I'd love to be able to take my older Android phone and re-purpose it as a car GPS/Internet Radio/Handfree, etc.
I know the Samsung Galaxy player has this functionality, I wonder if any of their devs could help out.
if this work in linux so i think can work on android
Hi to all,
i been looking for this "bluetooth role" for long time. I have read a lot of forum and the entire XDA posts about this..
it seems that this is the definitive question like "what is the answer to life the universe and everything" simple 42
and it seems that is the paradise for all want to make a carputer/droid/tablet/**** car radio replacement... so... i'm one of you
this post is for some devs (i'm a dev too) i'm asking for help ....
the problem is: which android version do you want to use?
why this question? simple: from the android 4.2 google has decided to trash the bluetooth bluez stack and reimplement the wheel with bluedroid...
i read the documentation about bluedroid at this site:
https://source.android.com/devices/bluetooth.html
and there was written that there are some profiles actualy implemented but not the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile server.
Ok it's not a problem, taking a look to the template of other profile i can implement it.
now the question is HOW DOES IT WORKS?
so i searched and bum this is how:
version 1.5
version 1.6
ok and now? and now i tried to find some similar implementations and...
after another night of search i found this....
HFP For Linux
where there is the downloadable source code.
now I think we have all the necessary to make this possible...
BUT there are some problem that i haven't resolved yet for a lack of knowledge of course.
it seems that the hfp override any other profiles on that example, it's not bad, in a system that i want to use i need only a HFP profile and AD2P togheter all the rest is useless
i think that this at the end is a fork of the standard android project and how I/we can put it into a rom or a patch and who want to add to a rom/kernel? how it can be done? is a patch better ? a new kernel like franco's or better to submit to google?
I hope to have intrigued someone with this post and I hope that somebody can link me to some documentation to understand how to put all the information I have together.
ps. i have tried to reply into this thread:
[Q] Android phone as bluetooth headset?
but of course i have to few posts to make my suggestion there
I may be out of line here but try reading about the gmate+ device.
I got one paired with my Nexus 7 32gb right now and currently using it as a phone. I believe there are other similar gadgets out there, as I've done some researches before I actually got mine to work. I have yet to try it with a bluetooth headset paired because I lost mine just on the day when I was about to try it out.
Anyway, one problem here is, the app for the device is currently not updated so there are a lot of things that need tweaking and one major issue for me is the ringtone. As I have posted here before, sine N7 does not have native ringtone, there's no alert tone for incoming calls. As for text messages, the notification alert tone works. I know there's also GPRS for it but haven't tried it out yet.
Try these options...
As far as an option for a Nexus 7 you may want to try a sip dialer like 3cx or linphone or zoiper and establish a free sip account at iptel.org or something. As long as you have wifi or a 3g connection which some tablet have you should be able to make and receive calls, or try ""Blue Fi" from the play store. it may work.

I just got a new Nexus 7 for the same purpose of replacing my vehicles head unit with a tablet.
I am digging into the BT stack since I believe that I should be able to implement (or port) the profile on top of Android 4.3 assuming that the SCO data is available through the raw BT connection. There is an open source HFP implementation on sourceforge for Linux that migh be close enough to do the trick and save a bunch of coding time. It's going to take a while for me to get the time to dive too deeply into this one, but if I succeed or come to the conclusion it can't be done, I will let folks know.
Hello guys.
I am going to buy Nexus 7 for my car for the same purposes, - navigating, internet.
But mainly is for the Hands Free function.
Unfortunately, people saying nexus can't use it. But it's lol...I don't believe nexus7 doesn't support hands free.
Gentelman, tell me any way to make nexus 7 works hands free.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. if you ask wham am I mean when saying "hands free", so there is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEFjDKtlao8
Use some Motorola MotoActiv Bt code?
I have a Motorola MotoActiv running watch... Features gps tracking for running and biking, MP3 player and Bluetooth... The Bluetooth is mainly used for wireless headphones, but if you have a Motorola Phone, the watch can display text msgs from the phone and you can use the headphones/mic through the watch to take calls. (the idea being that you can leave the phone in a pocket or backpack while you're bike riding, I guess, and still take calls.)
The device runs Android (I'm sure someone's rooted it on here). Maybe that code can be dissected and repurposed for what were all looking for??

Just an update on something I said in my previous post... I was looking at my MotoActiv watch today and it says you have to have an "Android phone" not a Motorola phone as I said in my previous post. So I'm wondering if the phone audio over Bt can be reverse engineered from the Motoactive watch for other android devices.
I actually decided to root my watch today just for the fun of it... it would really make the perfect "Car Head Unit" as it has Android OS, MP3 capabilities, FM Tuner, Bluetooth and Phone audio over Bluetooth built in... if only the screen was larger than 1.5".
Looks like the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013 are getting some love in this area with a new custom stack:
http://www.bluez.org/bluez-for-android-status-update/
Looks like you need some compiling skills, but I think this is what you are looking for.
It must be work... Or not?
Hello guys!
I'm thinking on a same project for a while. It doesn't matter if not work for me, but would be great if yes.
I found something 2 days ago:
Parrot Asteroid Smart
This is an android base head unit/navigation, and the bluetooth handsfree is working on it. How it's possible? Any chance to port it into the Nexus 7?
solution
So i had an idea today and decided to call my carrier (Cricket). They told me it is possible to purchase an extra sim card and they will program the imei# to match my phone. This will enable me to make and receive calls on my tablet as well as my phone using the same number. Also i will have full access to my data.....problem solved with only 15 dollars. I hope this helps somebody.
Hi all
Sorry if there is another thread with this already but I am at the end of my tether!
I have a Galaxy S4 with Android 4.2.2 and am having problems when paired to my Merc B200 with Audio 20.
I believe this may be a common problem but I just need confirmation from someone in the know.
ISSUE:
I can pair with the head unit no problems, but when I make and receive calls, there is no audio. Apparently the other end can hear me, but I am unable to hear them.
Audio is on max, both on the phone and the audio 20.
Any ideas? Is this a software issue?
I did contact Samsung, who obviously told me that this was down to the car manufacturer and MB told me to buy an older phone (great advice!).
My wifes Iphone 5 works flawlessly, as did my Iphone 4s.
MB seem to be under the impression that a car firmware update will no resolve the problem and basically I am scuppered. Surely bluetooth should be backwards compatible!!!
Cheers
Andy
I got a blackberry to work with a mb car kit a while ago, not sure of the symptoms the user was seeing but he was pairing from the phone to the kit. I tried pairing the phone from the car kit and it then started to work flawlessly.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk (how ironic is that eh)
might be a similar issue
Not sure if it's the same thing but I'm at a loss as to what to do. I bought the Jaybird SB2 bluetooth headset. I've read elsewhere others have had issues connecting to Mac's (I have the same connection problem with my Macs) but they worked fine with my old Galaxy S2 (when it had pre-jelly bean rom). As soon as I upgraded the sounds cuts out after a couple of minutes although the player says the music is playing. I can get it to work again for another couple of minutes by disconnecting then reconnecting the bluetooth. I then flashed a custom JB rom (supernexus I think) on the old S2 and everything worked perfectly. I've just got my stock S4 and the same problem with the bluetooth keeps happening.
I can only think it's a software problem since the headphones work perfectly with my Nexus 7 and my old S2 with this custom rom but I can't find anything online elsewhere recording the problem. Not really sure where to turn for help since I doubt Samsung will care.
Unsure if 100% related, but I've had some issues with BT on my Subaru Outback ('13).
When I am (simultaneously):
1) Charging
2) Connected to my car stereo via Bluetooth
3) Playing music (using default GS4 music widget)
4) Navigating w/ Google Navigation
The Google Navigation voice cuts out half way through giving the direction.
"In 250 feet, turn right onto" ... ... ... ... nothing
It's really horrible, especially because this is the PRIMARY use for my phone (car audio & nav).
Update:
Winamp doesn't interrupt nav, but I lose BT controls on steering wheel.
AVia doesn't either and keeps BT control functionality.
All music players I've tried, however, just seem to crash at random...
They either stop altogether or think the music is still playing but no audio is on.
All of this is resolved by using Aux instead of BT.
This is what leads me to believe it is BT related.
Anyone with experience or help here, that'd be awesome...
I've had a breakthrough with mine
I installed an app called 'Soundabout' from the playstore that reroutes any audio to a BT device, this did the trick, I now have audio both when making and receiving calls.
It also works for a2dp streaming issues.
The odd thing is though, I deleted the app afterwards just on the off chance that it fixed anything in the background.... And it did! My BT audio is now working seamlessly without the app!
I am currently running a flashed stock rom (XXUAME2).
Hope this helps others

Hi,
I have the same issue.
I have just got my new Galaxy S4, everything is working fine except the Bluetooth. I am having trouble to use the Bluetooth on my 2011 Toyota Car corolla. I am able to connect to the Bluetooth, and play music but problem with starting to make a call. when I say "starting to make a call" means I can make a call, but the receiver can't hear me and I can't hear them neither. I was able to answer the call or hang up, everything is working fine except no voice come out from the speakers.
The funny is it will work if I use Apps to make a call, such as Skype, viber.
I can't find any solution so far.

4ndynic you're a legend! My wife got an S4 and it didn't want to work properly with our Mercedes with the native bluetooth. I installed Soundabout (non Pro version), went into Bluetooth Behavior, turned on (Dynamic) Media Audio Usage, and now it works perfectly!! I especially love the fact that the alerts for SMS etc still come through the phone.

It appears that the setting may revert if you turn bluetooth off and back on again. After doing that, I had to go back into soundabout and untick then retick that box. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? It certainly appears to be a default setting in the operating system causing the issue, which means it may be possible to fix with a patch, and Samsung should certainly be able to fix it in a future update.

I thought Mercedes would contact the SoundAbout email address about getting that to work, but alas....I've gotten no email yet.
it might be your rom version, tried it here with 4.2 and 4.3 and works without any issues and no need to install additional software.
Having an issue pairing my Motoactv to the new bluetooth headset I just bought, the LG Tone+ (HBS-730). Motoactv won't even see it. Headset connects just fine to the phone, and Motoactv connects to phone and old headset (Motorola S10-HD) without a hitch. Tried removing all existing bluetooth connections on all devices. On Motorola's advice, factory reset Motoactv. Nothing seems to be helping.
Does anyone know if this is something that a dev could fix? If it's a simple "no, there's no way modding will fix that", please let me know, so I can return this headset. I really appreciate any help. I bought this thing because it can connect to 2 devices, where the S10 could not. Doesn't do much good if it won't pair, does it?
I couldn't find a better place to put this, since Motoactv doesn't have its own section. Hope that was OK.

Headset connects just fine to the phone, and Motoactv connects to phone and old headset (Motorola S10-HD) without a hitch. Tried removing all existing bluetooth connections on all devices. On Motorola's advice, factory reset Motoactv. Nothing seems to be helping.
Does anyone know if this is something that a dev could fix? If it's a simple "no, there's no way modding will fix that", please let me know, so I can return this headset. I really appreciate any help. I bought this thing because it can connect to 2 devices, where the S10 could not. Doesn't do much good if it won't pair, does it?
I couldn't find a better place to put this, since Motoactv doesn't have its own section. Hope that was OK.

If the MotoACTV does not see the headset while the headset is in pairing mode then it won't work. It will not pair with something it cannot see. Not sure why it wouldn't see it though. The MotoACTV uses bluetooth 4.0 so the LG's bluetooth 2.0 should be seen with ease. My suggestion would be to remove all bluetooth devices from MotoACTV. Reboot the MotoACTV and try again. Also make sure that ALL other devices have their bluetooth turned as so they don't see the LG and try to pair with it. If that doesn't work then odds are it won't work at all.
I think this new version of the headset is Bluetooth 3.0. It's the Tone+ 730, not the Tone 700 original (which, apparently, has no issues pairing with the Motoactv).

MotoACTV is still 4.0 so it should be compatible with 3.0, good luck
pairing
Ill let you know i own one of these headsets and should be recieving my motoactv in the mail soon.
Any ideas on the issue guys? I have a Motorola h500 and an LG-HBM 235 and neither will pair with the motoactv. It drives me absolutely nuts that the Motorola headset doesn't even work with the motorola motoactv. I mean really, WTF man? I don't want a big stereo headset. SMH. If i could finally get bluetooth audio, this thing would be great. In fact, they need to make a new model with a speaker and mic then it would be the greatest!
Figured it out. Your bluetooth earpiece/headset must be A2DP compatible.

I can't post links yet, but on the LG site, it says the 730 has A2DP...
Man, this is driving me nuts. I love these headphones, and they seem awesome for running. But I'll never know at this rate...

I have these headphones as well but have always had them paired to the phone. I just tried to pair them with my actv just to see if my results were any different but unfortunately, I have the same issue.
It may be possible to pair them through a third party app but I haven't tried.

Any suggestions for 3rd party apps that would do this? I'm willing to try.
Also, does anyone think that modding the ACTV with some of the work the guys here on XDA have done will have any effect? I'm reading threads dealing with similar problems with other devices (e.g. car kits) and some are saying its a bluetooth driver issue. Maybe a custom UI will include different bluetooth drivers?
I know it's annoying to hear people ask for free work, but if any of you ACTV programmers/modders think you can tackle this issue, we'd all really appreciate it. It's incredibly frustrating when you buy 2 things that should work together just fine, but for some unknown reason, just don't.
Thanks!

Perhaps something like this could work? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.IG.BluetoothManager
Alternatively, if your device is rooted there are .conf files under /system/etc/bluetooth/ that could potentially be modified to get this working. For example, audio.conf could be modified to remove "Disable=Headset" as well as enable HFP. These changes could possibly resolve the issue but I haven't tried tinkering with them.

Ok, so I decided to tinker a little and the app I mentioned did not work.....neither did some of the modifications I made to to the audio.conf file.
However, I did download this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.qrr.android.btoolkit
In the app settings, I enabled experimental mode and was able to find the HBS-730 headset and pair with it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go any further than that. Even though it is paired, music wasn't routing to it (granted I didn't use the stock music player -- that may have worked).
I believe the actv is treating the HBS-730 like a phone, tablet, or comp rather than just a headset which is why it is not interacting directly with it. There may be another app with root privileges (like the original app I suggested) that could possibly route the audio correctly but I haven't had the time to tinker with it and don't typically need audio output from my actv anyway.
Hope this somewhat helps.

I had similiar problems pairing my motoactv with a pair of UE 9000's. It could see the device, but would not pair through the stock menus. Tried downloading some third party bluetooth managers and was unable to get any audio. I believe it has something to do with Apt-X codec for bluetooth not being implemented in 2.3 gingberbread on the motoactv

Here's where I lose all credibility (and help)...
You mean download the app to my ACTV, right? So... How do I do that?
How do I download 3rd party apps to the ACTV? I haven't modded mine at all. Do I need to do anything to it?
I realize I have just exposed myself as a NOOB. Alas, I had no choice. Please continue to speak to me.

No worries .
Yes, you'll need to download the app to the ACTV. It will require rooting of the device and installing a custom ROM is the best way to get everything necessary for the market to work so that you can install these apps.
There is a step-by-step tutorial in the MOTOActv rooting thread in this forum.
Any further updates?
Just curious to see how this solution worked out. I am having the same problem and am definitely a NOOB. Attempting to download an app to my Motoactv seem a bit daunting to me...
