S3 Bluetooth Fix That Worked For Me - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded Bluetooth File Transfer by Medieval Software because I saw that it might fix the connecting issues with the Bluetooth. Now as soon as I get into my Nissan the Bluetooth audio and phone connect right away. Before they would fight and disconnect one another and I'd have to disconnect and connect Bluetooth every time. Thought I'd let you guys know. Reason I posted this here was because I heard it was a common problem with the newer Android OS

ICS and Bluetooth

I am having problems with ICS and the a2dp streaming after initial connection. I can't stream audio to any devices after the 2nd connection. This issue can be fixed with a cold boot (usually).
As near as I can tell this is an issue with all Rezound ICS ROMs
I have been trying to edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and going through different iterations, but so far haven't been able to find the right combination (if it is even possible to fix from there).
I noticed there have been other bluetooth issues with other ICS ROMs for other devices (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450962), note the a2dp fix in the changes log.
I am not sure if this is even the same issue on that ROM, but it may help provide a clue.
Anyone else have any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks!
Or a similar problem I have been having is connecting fine after initial pairing but being unable to reconnect without unpairing and a cold restart. Same problem in every ICS rom.
There's times mine will connect and work fine. Other times it says connected but sound will come out the phone speakers instead of the car speakers. This seems random and comes and goes. I haven't rebooted today and I was able to connect fine three or four times and a couple times I wasn't.
I havent been able to stream music at all.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset not pairing ICS LPQ

So my Jawbone Prime was connecting fine before I updated to ICS LPQ (was on GB LA4 before) and now it doesn't even show up on the devices list even when I try to re-pair or reset the headset.
I tried 2 different sets to no avail.
Anyone know of a solution?
Connects to A2DP BT Headset (Motorola) but only allows media audio to connect. Phone audio doesnt stick.
ICS has some compatibility issues with certain bluetooth devices.
GB my phone always paired with my car stereo and streamed music without any issues.
So far every ICS release, even official, has caused my phone to reboot after streaming music over BT for 10+ minutes.
Its pretty sad they dropped the ball here. GB worked fine, and they borked it.
Well I can connect my BT keyboard fine. I just tried my Motorola BT earphones which are A2DP and it connects but won't allow phone audio to go through the BT earphones. However Media does go through. At least it detects it.
It doesn't detect it at all on the Jawbone Prime (which is not A2DP).
Update:
I managed to connect my jawbone and actually have 2 phone calls on it. After that I had the phone in my pocket and when I checked maybe 15mins later it had frozen and I had to keep power pressed to shutdown/reboot.
It kind of matches Chakker3D's pattern of working then not working. It's like there's a memory leak in the bluetooth stack? maybe I'm just spitballing here.
What I know is that in GB whenever I deactivated BT it took a good 20-25secs. In ICS it's instant to turn off or on. In GB however there was 0 issues.
I just really hope Samsung addresses it. Or if we are lucky, a dev will rework a rom so this problem is gone.
But from what I can tell, very few are having this problem.

Sometimes is helps when you change kernel. Give a try

Another update:
Without any intervention on my part other than keeping on trying it finally discovered my BT headpiece. In fact it discovered both.
Now it's still not 100% perfect because it discovers it, connects and immediately disconnects. If I press a button on the headpiece while it connects then it stays connected and it hasn't restarted/locked the phone yet. I even connected my 2nd headset (another Prime) and it worked.
Keeping fingers crossed. Now I need to see what happens when I walk out of range and back in range.

Android phones not auto connecting to HTC Stereoclip

So I picked up the htc stereoclip (a100) the other day because my car stereo will do bluetooth voice calls, but not a2dp natively. It works great when connected, but that's where my problem lies. I posted this in general android as I think it might have to do with android directly and not specific to a specific phone since the same issue is occurring on my galaxy s 3 and my wife's htc one x. The problem is, if I leave bluetooth enabled on either phone, get into the car and start it up, it will not automatically connect with the stereoclip. I can resolve this by either turning bluetooth off then back on, or selecting the stereoclip to connect to in bluetooth settings. It's not a lot of work, but its rather annoying to dig my phone out and do that. Also, if I wanted to use tasker to say autoplay pandora when it connects, the automation is kinda lost as I still have to pull the phone out of my pocket. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Any apps in the store fix this or at least put a bandaid on it so I don't have to fiddle with it myself?

Bluetooth Connectivity Issues

I have three Bluetooth items I use every day. With the G5, I've had to delete each of them, turn Bluetooth off and then on again and pair them again to get a connection after a disconnect.
I use Bluetooth headphones, a Moto 360, and a bluetooth adapter in my car. On my S6E I was able to connect, disconnect, and reconnect with no problems at all, but today has been a seriously frustrating day going between devices.
Anyone else seeing this?

WiFi disconnects very often when connected to a BT headset

Whenever I connect to any bluetooth earphone no matter what the brand it is, the wifi starts acting weird. It disconnects more often even when I am very close to the router.
I've already tried different bluetooth earphones but it's the same although those earphone doesn't have any issues with other phones.
So I am guessing that it's an OS bug which needs to be fixed.
Can anyone reproduce this bug and confirm it?
Software : RUI 1.0 RMX1851_11_C.05 (Bootloader Unlocked nothing else)
