I just bought an Atrix to replace my Galaxy S and I have properly paired and coonected it to my Alpine KCE-400BT. Calls and A2DP work fine once connected. However, each time I get in the car I must reconnect the phone to the stereo which also requires me to input the pin as well. I always leave the bluetooth running on the phone and in the past with my Galaxy S I never had this issue. The phone would reconnect each time I got in and started the car. Anyone have any similar issue. It's a real pain to have to reconnect it and input the pin each time.
Thanks!

After the pairing procedure for the Galaxy SII to the Vehicle (uconnect), it works fine. Turning off the phone and back on, still remains paired. However, if we were to turn off the bluetooth and GPS for battery life on the phone and then turn it back on when I want to pair, the phone looses the memory of the pairing and we need to re-pair it. This wouldn't be a huge deal except that uconnect make you delete the pairing phone and resync it, a real pain in the @$$. Did you experience this and am I missing something that can be done in the phone setting to not loose the pairing when bluetooth is turn off/on on the phone.
Thanks

Never had a problem with mine losing pairing. Has another device been able to hold a pairing to it in the past?
What's a "uconnect"? It doesn't rely on remote power being hooked up correctly by any chance does it?

Sorry about that. Uconnect is the Bluetooth service installed on Dodge vehicles in North America.
The Uconnect holds 2 phones, in my case a Blackberry and the GSII. If I was to turn off Bluetooth on the blackberry and then later reactivate it, the blackberry does not forget the pairing and they pair with no problem. However, if I was to turn off the Bluetooth on the GSII, it seems to forget and I need to start the whole pairing process all over again.

I keep my BT on full time, but just out of curiosity i followed your steps and no such issue on my Nissan factory radio bluetooth. Probably some weird compatibility issue.
Hey everyone,
Has anyone noticed bluetooth issues? I've pointed them out in other threads, but they seem to be glossed over. I hate to seem like a noob by creating new threads, but I fear that the issue is being looked over by most people. I've read a few reports of people having issues with their phones connecting to their cars or headsets automatically. Has anyone else faced these issues?
I specifically cannot get my BT headset to connect unless I unpair and repair it everytime I want to use it. Sometimes even during a phone call the headset will drop connection and wont reconnect unless i turn it off and on a few times. For reference, I've tried multiple BT headsets and they all behave the same way. These headset's also work just fine with my Galaxy S2, just not with my S3 (international on XLE8)
No problems with bluetooth here and I use it a lot (HS3000, Logitech Boombox, PS3 and Wii controllers too).
No issues here. Phone sometimes doesn't pair automatically with the BT kit in my work car, but I've had that issue with my S1 and S2 in the same car so I'd say it's a problem with the headunit.
Works perfectly with the Sony headunit in my own car, and connects to my mate's fine.
ok, what firmware rev are you guys running? im going nuts not being able to use bluetooth here!!
somewhat related.
i often leave my sgs3 connected to my laptop via usb when i fall asleep. at morning, battery's charged 100% obviously and phone isn't hot.
last time around, i was listening to music via hm3700 bluetooth headset. then later turned off the bluetooth headset. i forgot to turn off the bluetooth on sgs3 and again fell asleep while it's still connected via usb to laptop.
when i woke up at morning as usual battery's charged 100% but the sgs3 was hot, not so hot but isn't anywhere the normal hot we're accustomed to.
connects automatically to my car's BT built-in system. Only needed to pair once.
Works very well with my Sennheiser PXC 310 BT.
If I switch on the headphones the phone automatically connects to it.
can everyone please detail their firmware/kernel they are using?
i am on XXALE8, with the stock kernel
I have problems on XXLE8 as well connect it to my car head unit and it acrually crashes the headunit after 5 mins being connected . After the heaf unit crashes 3 times it requires a pin code. Iphone 4, 4s and gs2 connect no issues.

thanks for your input, i upgraded to XALF5 and still having the same issues. this is frustrating!!!!
Oddly - my phone will automatically connect to my cars in-built BT system, but it won't auto connect to my Jawbone Era without switching BT of and back on....
I also have problems, with my build-in bt in my car. Have XXBLH3. Connect fine, but drop the connection 2-3min after. My SGSII have no problems
No Ringtone through Bluetooth
Okay here is my problem……I want my custom ringtones i have set for contact to play in my Bluetooth headset when a receive a call, not that dumb ring. That way I will know if I want to take the call or not because I can tell by the ringtone who is calling. Why would Samsung disable this feature. my iPhone 4s plays the ringtone I have setup when I get a call. Is there anyway to do this. I ride a motorcycle and I have a device called a Chatterbox that let’s me connect via Bluetooth to my phone so I can hear my music and talk and make calls while I am riding. On my iPhone 4s my music would pause my custom ringtone would play and I could decide it I wanted to take the call or send it to voicemail, then my music would start right back up from where it left off. Right now my Galaxy i717 and my Galaxy i747 (Note and S III) just play this annoying ring and I can’t tell who it is! Any have a fix or work around for this.
Hmmm, the sound on my cars bluetooth gets distorted and only a reconnect will fix, and more worringly sometimes the S3 will not wake up after disconnecting from my car and only a hard reset will solve it.
My S2 did pretty much the same thing.
Hi,
For about a year I have used my GS2 with a Plantronics Savi Go bluetooth headset - I normally leave the phone in its desk cradle and use MyPhoneExplorer to make/answer all my calls and send text messages (I work in a small office with no wired phone at my desk and I sent at least 500 texts/day to coordinate teams working in the field.)
Recently - after returning from a trip - I noticed that the phone and headset would not work together at all if the wifi on the phone was enabled - the headset would connect to the phone and the first 10 seconds or so of every call would be OK, but the level of interference (as heard on the headset) would increase and increase and the headset would inevitably disconnect after about 20 seconds.
With wifi disabled on the phone this does not occur.
The headset works fine with another phone and also connects fine to its Plantronics USB adapter. This headset is designed to remain connected to two devices at once (intended to be the USB adapter and a phone) so you can make calls from either Skype/a voip app or your phone without having to change anything.
I have dropped the phone about a hundred times so I changed the aerial/loudspeaker module (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300715915473) but the interference still occurs.
Is there any way this could be a software issue? I hate updating as I have custom density and all sorts of other settings so my phone is still on the same android 2.3.3 stock ROM that it came with - I have also removed all the Samsung customisations and KIES etc so updating is a pain.
My opinion is that there is no way this could be a software issue and that, as the antenna replacement has not solved the problem, there's probably a hardware problem and I should just toss it and get a Note or another GS2.
However, thinking about it more - the bluetooth and wifi transmitters share the same antenna? Is there any software cooperation to make sure these devices don't try and transmit at the same time or is there hardware gating? Are there filters designed to stop the bluetooth transmitter transmitting directly 'into' the wifi receiver (as they both share the same aerial which is used both for transmit/receive) and are they software or hardware?
My thoughts are definitely hardware but I would welcome the opinions of anyone that really knows how the two transmitters/receivers are meant to work together.
Thanks!
I received my Moto E last week and I've been using it with my Jaybird Freedom bluetooth headset. Unfortunately, I'm having a terrible time with pairing and reconnecting the headset to the device.
When I get the headset paired, it works fine until I turn it off. Once I turn it off, the phone does not notice the device or attempt to reconnect. If I explicitly attempt to reconnect it will fail almost every time. I can unpair the device, in which case it usually takes a few attempts to get it re-paired again. I've talked with Jaybird and Motorola support and they are pointing at each other. It seems like it may be some kind of compatibility issue, but I have no idea if there is any way to resolve it. I should add that the headset gets along just fine with my HTC One.
I have the device rooted and can go look in the logs if that helps anyone to help me troubleshoot/fix this issue.
Any help appreciated.

Hi folks,
I've seen a few comments on bluetooth on this phone but not this specific one. I have a Kia Optima with bluetooth and when I get in the car I expect my M20P to auto connect to the head unit. It seems very temperamental though, often not connecting at all. Other times it will connect and then randomly drop connection and reconnect. Has anyone else had this or know what might be causing it?
I'm currently testing if it only connects when I wake / screen on / unlock the device which it seemed to do on my commute this morning, but then a second time it still didn't connect doing the same thing.
I'm also checking with Kia if there is a software update for the head unit but i'm expecting them to blame the phone and Huawei to blame the head unit.
Any help appreciated.
Hi, I am experiencing something very similar. Very bad audio quality during calls, and temperamental connections with Bluetooth - disconnecting and re-connecting.
I haven't been able to find any solution, hoping to awaken this forum.
Same issue here - On 9.0.0.187
Volkswagen Golf 7 2016
Voice sounds like its lagging and like metallic treble
Also i notice with Spotify will streaming music that the display unit is out of sync with what i am listening
It shows the title of the previous song that i have listen not the current one
Did you ever figure this out?
My girlfriend just reported to me that her new 6T is not automatically connecting to her car like her old Android did. It's paired, but she gas to manually connect.
I have audio speeding up and slowing down on my Skoda Citigo bluetooth with Mate 20 Pro, its slightly better than my Galaxy S8 which used to continually drop connection.
9.0.0.266, Very flakey Bluetooth since this update applied. Used to be fine before this, now i get random disconnects from my Galaxy Watch,, by VW headunit in the car, and random drops of audio from my Freebuds 2 Pro.
Starting to get rather annoying
