Hi everyone,
I own a Chevy Camaro SS 2012 that has Bluetooth handsfree built in. Works like a charm with my friends LG phone with Android, as well as with my company iPhone 4S.
But with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running native Android 4.2.2 it will pair just fine, but I am only able to hear the sound and use the mic in the car, but not engage any functions nor access the contacts list. So I cannot answer calls, or make new ones etc...
The problem is not in the car as it works fine with other phones, and I've tried to reset everything on both the phone and in the car and then re-pair them, without any success. Nobody on the Camaro forums knows how to proceed.
You guys are my last chance of hope! I have no clue of how to continue
Thank you all in advance!
It appears that something changed with the Bluetooth profile when going to Jelly Bean if you read this thread:

Apparently GM have not updated their Bluetooth yet on my 2012 model. I need to go to Chevrolet and get this fixed.

Hi,
I don't know too much about bluetooth, but I guess I assumed that these things were usually backward compatible. I bought a Samsung HM1100 bluetooth headphone which is BT 2.0 for use on my Palm Centro (don't laugh; it's ancient, but I like it) and for Skype on my SGP 4.0. Paired right away with my Palm, but my SGP can't see it. I see in the documentation that the SGP has BT 3.0, but - as I said - I thought that that would also work with 2.0 (also seeing that they are both Samsung products). Does anyone know if the SGP can not use BT 2.0 devices? If it can, any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
I use a LG HBS-700 which is BT 2.1 just fine with my SGP 4.0 and honestly I can't see why your pairing wouldn't work.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Specifications_and_features
From what Wikipedia says BT 3.0 is just higher data transfer which probably has nothing to do with low transfer rate devices like headsets. Anyway, I can confirm that the Galaxy Player 4.0 can use BT 2.1 so...I guess check your manual and make sure that you are properly pairing the devices. Obviously you've gotten it to work with your Palm, so the same procedure should work with the Samsung. Why isn't it? Meh, Android can be flaky sometimes. Every so often my headset won't show up so I just power it off then on again and I'm good to go.
Sorry, that's the best I can think of.
i have the i605 note 2 from verizon. i have installed in my truck a pioneer indash stereo avh-x7500bt. i love phones and car audio and im trying to find a way to merge both of them together. i woould love to play the movies, music viedos and files that i have on my stereo and screens. i have bought hml adapters for the phone that have an hdmi output and another adapter for hdmi to components but it doesnt seem to work. i dont know if im missing something or if i need to do something else. any ideas would be great so i can figure out how to do this. thanks in advance.

I could not get it to work after I upgraded from kitkat to lollipop.
I am looking for a patch. My ipad, ironically, still works. So does my girlfriend's phone which doesn't run lollipop.
Hope this helps.
Hi I know this is not really and S3 issue but trying to find some help,
I'm experiencing strange problem with my sygic and bluetooth headset. All is fine from start, but after a while the audio stops working, pretty annoying when ridding a motorbike with phone in your pocket. Have tried with 3 different bluetooth receivers, ford mondeo mk7 2012, LG HBS700 and schuberth c3 pro src (motorcycle helmet intercom). Using Samsung Galaxy S3 with several different ROM's including stock, 4.4.2 all I could think of.
It seems to be related to the distance, I know it makes little sense, but the audio drops out at same place when I drive from work, or just run the demonstration 400/800% faster. I've tried other routes to be sure, so its not same point on a map.
Any idea? Would be greatly appreciated.
Btw. Just tried CoPilot in the morning and all worked well the whole way (80miles ish)
Regards,
Jan
First off, apologies if this is not in the correct forum, I'm not sure if this is device specific or not...
I have 2 phones. An AT&T Galaxy S5 and a Samsung ATIV S Neo running Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview. The one feature I absolutely love about the Neo is the ability to read and respond to SMS over bluetooth in the 3 vehicles I own... they are:
2014 Chevrolet Impala LT with MyLink (no Nav)
2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS (with Mylink and Nav)
2012 Chevrolet Traverse (no MyLink or Nav)
On what I am guessing is the MAP part of Bluetooth, my Windows Phone works with each vehicle flawlessly to receive and respond to SMS. I can't say the same for my S5 (which by the way, is rooted, running SafeStrap, and running Alliance ROM so that I can have Car Mode, which AT&T saw fit to remove out of their version). I can only get the S5 to work correctly with the Traverse, which also happens to be the oldest vehicle. I have yet to find a 3rd party app that might be able to get around this.
It is beyond frustrating that a 2014 device such as the S5 does not work with vehicles that are relatively new in this regard. Is this true of all 2014 devices? I wish there was an easy way to find out. Most car manufacturers and even aftermarket ones don't even list any 2014 devices as being compatible with them... I know it might sound like nitpicking, but a phone (the Neo) that was released almost a full year ago works fine across all my vehicles... am I missing something here?
And yes, the new thing with Android and vehicle integration is all well and good, but probably won't be able to see that in action for what.. another year at least?
UPDATE: I have since moved on from the S5 and have tried an HTC One M8, and a LG G3, both with similar issues. I have found an app called Robin that kind of worked on the G3, and another called SMS, My Car and Me (SMS+Car) that sort of works on the M8. The M8's own car mode works best but far from perfect. Voice recognition is not good, and has an issue quite similar to responding to sms and emails on Android Wear devices. It gives you absolutely no time to pause before sending, but in the case of the M8, the window to respond is way too short.
Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
So no one has a clue.. Am I asking this on the right forum? Am I phrasing the question wrong or something? Why can't anyone answer or offer any insight on this? A little help here please?
Hey guys,
I just bought the IMACWEAR SPARTA M7 smart watch. It runs android 4.4.2.
There is a critical problem that makes me not being able to use it.
The bluetooth call audio isn't sounding at all. Bluetooth media sounds great. Only the call sound is lacking.
The headset I was trying to use is JAWBONE ERA HD bluetooth headset.
I tried two other b.t devices and they work well but their sound quality isn't good enough for me.
The JAWBONE ERA headset is working well on couple different devices.
The smart watch isn't rooted.
I tried asking my quastion on imacwear m7 thread but no answer.
I believe the problem is in the android 4.4.2 system. maybe something with b.t drivers.
Does someone know how to fix it?
If not, I'll need a developer to address my problem specially and fix it. i'm willing to pay for the service.
Appreciate any help...
Thanks.
Moshe.
