I can pair my phone with my car but 90% of the time I cannot hear the other caller and get a lot of distortion and hear myself echoing. The caller can hear me but not too well. A couple of times it worked ok. It seemed to work better when I had lite'ning rom installed, but due to an issue with car mode popping up randomly I have played around with various different roms. Now though my phone whilst pairing fine will just not work audio wise with my car. It is a 2010 BMW z4. BMW site lists the phone as compatible. I have searched high and low but the only problem I can find tends to be contacts not showing up etc. For me this is fine I just can't hear anyone when I make a call.
Is there something I can do with the phone to make it work? I found a root related bluetooth apk file remnaming thing but it didn't work.
Please help as this is driving (literally) me nuts.
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Ok, I investigated more. I have a program called Total Recall installed. It can be set to record all calls. On previous ROM's I think it occasionally crashed or got stopped when I closed stuff with task manager. On this ROM it seems to work constantly. This may be why my car Bluetooth used to work on occasions and not others.
I froze it with MyBackup Pro and voilà my car worked properly with the phone.
So I guess my next question is does anyone know anything about this program and why it would mess up car Bluetooth? If I can't get it to work can anyone recommend an alternative?
EDIT: Seems I can set it not to try and record if BT connected. Shame as that would be useful.

When I am playing music and I receive a call, after the call ends the bluetooth connection just disconnects. I have to press the play button on little necklace for it to connect again. Anybody have experience with this headset? My last sony headset, DR-BT30Q, works just fine. My current one that I just ordered, the HBH-DS980, plays fine, but it just disconnects after a phone call.
I searched this forum and "HBH-DS980" didn't pull up any matches. I read in the Kaiser forum some ppl installed some jetware software. I would like to get some input with Mogul owners though. Oh yah, I'm running DCD's 2.1 rom based of 3.16.
WOOT. After installing Jetware mobile, I am not getting a drop after a phone call anymore. Now I'm starting to love this headset.

Do you get phone book on the headset ?
I'm not sure. I have to check back. But today, after resetting my phone, I am still getting the drop after a call. I have to press the play button and it connects right back up, but still annoying.
I do know I get the call list so that I can make a call.
yes, the contacts work.
Wow, I can't get the contacts to work
You have Mogul /Titan as well ? Any special steps you did to get it working ?
Same problem here with the phone call disconnect
Meh, I assumed they work. Earlier my PPC said allow HBH-ds980 to get contact info, or something like that, so I thught it worked. Now It doesn't do anything. I've found this Bluetooth headset works sometimes and doesn't work at other times. Sometimes off a fresh restart on my PPC it will not drop the connect, most other times it will.
i just bought an 07 infiniti g35. when i try to use the Bluetooth hands free set, weird thing happens.
the phone pairs and connects without any flaw, and voice command works. but after the call connected, i can not hear what comes out from the car speaker but only static noise, neither the other person can hear me.
i tried to pair my friends' nokia and iphone to the car and they both worked. then i paired my x10 to other bluetooth devices and it worked as well. therefore, both my car and phone seems working fine, but they wont work together.
can anyone help me with this?
my x10 is rooted with freex10 and latest baseband.
can anyone help? or even just address the problem?
i have tried almost all the roms in development section, and no luck. is there any settings could affect this?
Hi,
I have the following problem:
Everytime I pair my Samsung Galaxy SII I9000 with my car (Renault Fluence 2012) and its built in bluetooth System, it says that it's correctly paired (and honestly it doesnt even take a minute to pair correctly), but it plays no music. It just has no sound (even when the song is playing correctly on the phone) but everything else just works perfect. I mean, i can control the music (songs, playlists, etc) from my car, but the sound just wont come out. The only way to make it work is to 'unlock' the sound by calling someone. So when the call starts, then the audio starts working. That is, so far, the only way to make it work. And i have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME that i turn on the car or that the device stops being paired with my car.
It does EXACTLY the same thing with my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S305), so I realized it was my phone. I have tried other phones with my car and they work just fine. I have tried other things with my headphones too (like my Psvita) and they work smoothly.
The weird thing about it, is that my phone used to work perfectly fine with both things, and just a random day it decided not to work anymore.
I used kies and re-installed android from 0, and that solved the problem for a few days and then it all started again. I have tried cleaning all the bluetooth devices that my phone is paired with. Going back to factory settings in my car, removing the battery on the phone, resetting the phone, taking everything out (including the sim card( everything. And nothing seems to work.
Please, help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII with Android 2.3.6 (it came with 2.3.3 and i upgrade it twice through kies) I have never rooted my phone or done anything to it, except for upgrading Android through Kies.
Thanks so much!!!

Wow... That's very strange. First off, I'd be looking at compatibility issues. Do you have the BT specs for the car? Maybe they're the same as the headset and not quite 100% compatible with the phone.
Another possibility (although remote) is that the headset and the car are fighting over which gets to talk to your phone because phone services are much different than A2DP (Audio).
You might just have a flaky BT antenna in your device, or a bad (stock) modem/baseband.
I'd try rooting and see if a different modem/baseband clears up the issue. Then at least you'll know what the deal is.
Hey, I also found this on the Renault web site... http://www.renault.co.uk/bluetooth/default.aspx
>> Why does my telephone not reconnect to the system when the vehicle is started?
- In order for your telephone to automatically connect when the vehicle is started, it may be necessary to activate the automatic Bluetooth connection function on your telephone with the hands-free kit. For details on how to do this, please refer to the instructions manual for your telephone.
- Upon reconnection and if there are several telephones paired within the hands-free kit reception area, it is the one that was paired last that will be connected even if it is outside of the vehicle.
So it looks like it might actually be a Renault AND a Motorola problem.
There's also a list of compatibility files at the bottom of that page based on the system you have.
First of all, thanks so much for your help.
The problem with whats going on with my phone, is that it used to work just fine before, with those 2 things (my car and my headphones) Its not like they never worked, they used to work completely fine with my phone.
And i never use them together, like my headphones have never even come close to my car. And since i thought that it could have been a problem with they 'fighting' with each other, even if they werent close, i erased all the cache on my bluetooth settings and unpaired all devices that were ever set with my phone.
So its like if i had never used bluetooth. That obviously didnt work either
It turns out that your car likely keeps up to 5 phones in memory... Is there a way to clear the phone list in the car as well? Then re-pair from scratch on both sides?
well either the blueth is defect or ur doing some wrong settings,root ur device there r plenty of bt apps tht work more powerfull than the default...y possible ur car mus hav a reset buttun for bt so delete all pairs frm phone an reset ur car bt,,,,then start fresh.....hope it helps
I restored my car's settings and deleted every phone paired. That didnt work either... I also tried with a friends phone (iphone 4) and that worked completely fine...

Time for a warranty replacement I think.
Jeez... thats exactly what i was trying to avoid, because my cellphone company will have me waiting for like a month without my phone and will give me in return the ****tiest phone ever while they try to fix it and then realize they cant.
FML
thanks anyway for your help!
I haven't seen anyone else post this yet so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a Bluetooth speaker in my car that works fine on stock or on kit Kat roms. But on every lollipop rom I've tried, the audio through the Bluetooth is slightly slowed down (resulting in everything sounded a little lower) and kind of choppy.
The audio plays fine through the phones speaker or through a headset, it's only on Bluetooth that this happens.
Any body else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Same issue here.
I think it may be the speaker I'm using, because I had the same issue when I connected my tablet to it that is also running lollipop. I need to find a different Bluetooth device and see if the problem persists.

I was doing a search on this issue myself, which brought me here. It's actually only one speaker I have that does this, and it's the newest BT device I have. It's the HDMX Rave portable BT speaker. It worked fine with the KK ROMs I was using at the time I got it, but ever since updating to LP, only that speaker of all the BT audio devices I own does that.
Weird...
Similar Issue
Hi,
I've also experienced this, although it seems my Bluetooth plays much worse than yours. It's slow for a bit, then choppy and breaks up, then it'll speed up the music to get back to where it should be. It renders Bluetooth music completely unusable.
I've found:
High CPU usage causes this in KK (skydragon) for me. The high-usage culprit is the netd module, not sure if that's relevant.
I've flashed Jasmine Lollipop (5.0.11) lots of different ways, with several different modems, and it still has this issue.
It doesn't seem to depend on the app, as it happens with the default music app and with Spotify (192 Kbps).
It happens on both of my Bluetooth devices, a cheapo portable speaker and my nicer car stereo. I don't know the BT versions they use.
Disabling WiFi helps a little, disabling data does nothing.
Anyone have any workarounds?
i had the same problem when connecting to my car speaker.
funny thing is some days it works great, and other days all of a sudden it just plays all slow. anyone got fix?
So I've been doing some more tinkering. Turning off WiFi will fix the issue for my "dumb" bluetooth speaker (it's a pair button and a power switch only), however it will only fix the issue for the first ~3 minutes on my Clarion car stereo (with all sw updates). I've disabled literally every Bluetooth service, activity, provider, and responder that isn't essential for A2DP connections. I'm able to access the hidden menu item for Bluetooth testing, but I don't really know how to use it. If someone has directions for that I'd gladly put my phone through the paces.
EDIT: I just had this issue with a Jaybird X3 wireless earbuds. So it's not the BMW's issue. Any new ideas?
Hi! Wonder if anyone's encountered this issue and have any idea how to fix it.
Whenever I make or receive a phone call while in the car, the audio will ALWAYS come out of the phone's speaker instead of through the car's bluetooth. I can see the "in-call" screen on the phone and it says that output is BT. I have to push the BT icon to turn that off and on again and the audio will now go to the car. Every single time.
Tried un-pairing and pairing again, tried rebooting the phone. Nothing. Only does this with the car (BMW 3-series, 2017), all my other BT headsets and my wife's car work perfectly fine.
Any ideas?
P.S. I'm very aware that this may be BMW's fault, since they're dicks and suck at software development. Still, if anyone has an idea, it'd be very welcome!!
Hmm, I do not have this issue on my F32 and S9+ Snapdragon. Have you tried factory resetting the phone and iDrive to clear out any other pairings or non-default settings? It is a pain to set everything up again but will be the quickest way to determine if this is an issue with the iDrive. Next would be trying an iDrive update.
How do you reset iDrive? because I'm noticing that it's not syncing all the contacts on the phone... prefer this to doing a factory reset on the phone (paaaainful!)
Bumping because new information added
Haven't gotten any calls while using my Jaybird, but in my Corvette call audio comes through the car speakers, not the phone. Same in my wife's Honda.
Something to look at: When I'm connected to the car BT, there's a notification from Samsung's Smartthings app that I can tap and choose whether audio goes to the car, or to the phone. Might be worth checking that.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to remember your selection from one session to the next.
Hola
I use a X3 daily for both work and my workouts. When I drive to work or so I connect to my Toyota Highlander ('17) and thus far absolutely no issues with phone calls. Mind you I make A LOT of calls all the time so I would be peeved no hell if I had such issues. Like mentioned above, resetting your phone might be required. Please keep us informed if resetting does help. Thanks.
No issue with my BMW and I have jaybird as well but only uses it for songs
Well, crap. Will have to reset phone and report back.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE: Factory reset worked!!!
My guess is that when I moved from the S7 to the S9+, I used the "Smart Switch" app. Something must have transferred over that the new phone didn't like. Took me 2+ hours and it is a pain in the ass, but now I can use my car's BT and the X3 earphones to make calls!
