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.

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.

Do you have 'Soundabout' in your app store? Solved my problems.

Hi,
I did try that, didn't work.
May I ask your setting on your Soundabout?

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.

Will do some testing and let you know, I deleted the app and it carried on working until I rebooted so kind of the same thing! Defo something that could be fixed with an update, just need Samsung to listen! If only I knew a little more about Android development!

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.
Hi,
Strange thing happened to me for two day now:
The fingerprint unlock works perfectly. But: when I get in my car and the phone connects to BT I cannot unlock with my fingerprint anymore, only the backup password will work.
As soon as I turn of my car and thus the BT connection the fingerprint works again.
Anyone else has had this issue? (or better, a solution)
Cheers, Leon
When connected to a trusted source such as your Bluetooth you can just swipe your screen to unlock. At least thats how my phone is set up.
Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk
I did set it as trusted device. Unfortunately that worked until I disconnected and reconnected again... That's when I had to use the fingerprint again.

I don't have my connected to my car. But my s6+ is connected to my gear s, lg hsb750 Bluetooth headset , and my jbl flip 2 Bluetooth speaker and all works well with fingerprint unlock. I don't however have any of them set to my trusted devices. Fingerprint unlock is so convenient and good don't feel the need for it.
Yesterday evening I deleted the connections and build them up again and this morning it worked like a charm.
Strange, but it worked

Hi and sorry if i do not found such a topic in some discussion. I tried to search but didn´t found it yet.
My problem is that i have a new Yotaphone 2 YD201 with latest update (as far as i know) 1.1.124 , which i got OTA.
And i´m not sure if this was happening also before the update, cause i didn´t tested it before with Android 4.4.
The problem:
If i set up a call or got a call and talking some times over my bluetooth headset, the colleagues asked me that i sound like under water.
Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes longer...
If i switch to the mobile phones microphone everything is working correct instantly.
I tried several bluetooth headsets, which are working well on other android phones.
Then I tried the soundrecorder SW which is on the device and found out, that the bluetooth sound isn´t recorded well, means it´s very dull and quiet.
If i put my voice directly to the mobiles microphone (although bluetooth headset is still connected), the recorded sound is louder but still far away from a good quality.
But it doesn´t change, if the bluetooth headset is switched off and the soundrecorder is used directly without bluetooth headset. Still very dull and quiet.
Can anybody please test this with his Yotaphone 2 YD201 to check if only my phone has a problem, although i do not believe that it is a HW topic.
Is there some known issue or bug regarding this topic and has somebody any idea how to overcome this problem, cause without using a bluetooth headset, the phone is unaúsable at all for me.
Thx and nice evening
Cheers

Meanwhile i contacted the Yotaphone Support and there was a very fast answer.
Problem is known by Developers. They are working on a fix and keep me updated.
So, lets see if and what will ever happen...

Hi Neo,
I have the same probem with my Yotaphone 2.
I bought the new Bose QC30 Bluetooth, the sound is very bad for my contact.
I found something working : plug the headset Jack, and then test to phone by bluetooth.
if the jack is plugged when the bluetooth mode is selected (before or during the call), the microphone from the bluetooth is good.
if you unplug the jack during the call in bluetooth mode, the microphone is operating yet properly.
Why ???
same problem here
hi everyone,
is there any update on this issue? sadly cant use my headset anymore.
thx, luke
Isn't there a solution just above?!

Hi, thx for all the feedback- I also tried this CN Radio + the topic with the audio jack but none of them are real workarounds.
It seems that the CN -Radio brings some other issues for me, like unstable LTE connections + problems with SRVCC (switch from LTE to 3G/2G) in some handover situations. These problems were not available before.
So i installed the RU stock again and sorry to say it- sell the phone - It´s a nice phone and for people who do not need the bluetooth headset nearly the complete day- its a very good phone, with a great idea.
By the way- the support from Yota was quite good and they tried to help me as well as they confirmed the bug is known by the developer, but this help that much at the moment- so i´m back with my P9000 now...
Have fun with the mobile and appreciate the ideas of Yota devices...
Cheers

I seem to also have this issue on the EU version. Is it a matter of the antenna? I've ordered one of those cheap 3.5mm jack antennas to try out.
The odd thing is that bluetooth audio is fine with both speakers and a headset, from a variety of distances. I don't understand why the microphone is affected.

I would be interested in how you did that, my gf is getting upset as she can't use her bluetooth handfree set while driving... she has the yd206 model, build EU 1.1.124, i already thought of installing RU buil then ota update to 1.1.134, but i wonder if this would change anything.
Thanks.
any news?
YD206 model too
Hi, I have a YD206 model and same problem with the mic with bluetooth.
I am not sure if I had this problem with Kit Kat, but as I am using bluetooth in my car everyday for my job, I think that problem was from my recently Lollipop update.
bluetooth mic: any news?
Hello, I have the same issue with YD201. Phone calls over my car's integrated bluetooth sound fine to me but the people I speak with say I sound like I am in a pipe or underwater.
Has anyone found a fix?
Thank you!
YD201
Android version: 6.0.1
Baseband version: s01_003_4240_RU1_M05
I did a factory reset on my Android 6.0.1 and the problem seems to have gone away. I did try other radio firmwares before which was a wasted effort.

Anyone already got hands on the new MI VR headset ?
It's said, that it only supports Mi Note 2, Mi 5 and Mi 5S phones. Could it be possible that this is only because of the placement of the USB connector in the headset and phone(s) ?
If so, it might be possible to 'tinker' the headset, Remove the fixed USB connector from the headset and attach a cable to it. So other devices may also work.
Just a thought...

Hi,
After updating to oreo (clean flash) i have issues connecting to my car bluetooth (vw tiguan). it keeps disconnecting every 5 sec. randomly (very rare) it works without pb.
i tried changing bluetooth codec (sbc, aptx, aptxhd), or avrcp version (1.4, 1.5, 1.6) the pb still remains
any help? suggestion? or a way to post logs?
With Nougat it never happened
Thanks
Similar issue here. I have a fully clean flash of OOS5.0 (because I douched my storage the first time) and bluetooth seems fine sometimes, and other times it's totally borked. I listened to 2 hours of podcasts without issue, then it just constantly disconnected/reconnected. I tried rebooting, unpairing, changing codecs...same issue. Next day, it's totally fine again.
My seat Leon my 16 discover pro does mostly not connected automatically on Oreo.
Tried cleanflash of oreo, no change.
Back to 7.1.1 everything fine.
My case is similar but slightly different. My car is an old one (Seat leon from 2005) which Bluetooth connection is used only for phone calls. This seems to be working fine.
However I'm using an add-on to connect multimedia through Bluetooth to the radio, and this add-on is not working fine with my Oreo OP5.
So I guess the problem for the other reported issues should be related to the multimedia connection instead of the phone one.
Absolutely
Phone calls are working fine
On my VW Golf VII not connected automatically on Oreo. Works fine before. Clean Install... don´t help.
I must switch BT off and on and then connect to my car.
Oneplus 5 is my first Oneplus. And from beginn problems with BT. After some updates works fine. Now the same after Oreo.
Same here with parrot handsfree. Nougat was OK....
Same here with 2017 Audi A4. Bluetooth do not connect automatically.
Works fine with nougat before.
I use the app 'Bluetooth auto connect' to force OP5 to connect to Audi, when I turn on the screen. (little work around).
The OP3T from my wife (also with oreo) connect fine to my audi.

I have switched off 'media audio' in Bluetooth Settings of OP5 and Bluetooth connect without any problem with my Audi. (tested it two times)
Will continue testing.....
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A5000 mit Tapatalk
Switch of Car for <10 minutes and try and also only off for 10 seconds
I also thought this helps, next day not working....
For the last few days it has been working fine in my car (2016 BMW 340i), but in my wife's car (2015 BMW 328i) with the same media interface, it actually CRASHES the entire car's system and iDrive does a full reboot. Never seen that before with any device.
Anyone tried open beta 3 ?
My OP5 connects to the Anker SoundSync handsfree, calls and media are OK just as before, the only thing that have gone with the stable official Oreo update are the bluetooth control buttons.
Any idea would be appreciated
