[Q] is a bluetooth headset version3 compatible with android jellybean 4.1.1? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
i have an m155 plantronics bluetooth headset which has a specification of bluetooth version 3.
when i use it with my android jellybean 4.1.1 mobile phone ALCATEL 5035E (unrooted) to play music, the music stutters,
drops off, then resumes, then finally drops off completely without resuming, although bluetooth
icon remains blue. i touched the bluetooth icon to disconnect it. the icon
blinks and does not stop.
i brought my mobile phone for service and they replaced my phone with a brand new one. but the same problem occurred.
the technicians said it could be a problem with the bluetooth compatibility with the android jellybean. they said to update my bluetooth device so that it becomes compatible with the android 4.1.1. i was skeptical because i had this vague thought that there is no such thing as updating the software on a bluetooth headset.
i checked on my android device, and the bluetooth version on the mobile phone is 4.1.1-1350
sorry if i sound stupid to ask you guys. but i need to give the technicians an answer so that we can move forward in finding the problem. Your answer will help us go in the right direction.
does the bluetooth headset need to be the same version with the android phone in order for it to function properly?
is there an android update that fixes my issue? if so, how do i get it?
thanks much

X10a bluetooth issues

Hi So i bought the x10A to get ride of my Iphone, now i love this phone but
i have issues, with bluetooth i have a kenwood deck dnx6160 when i pair,
it does not pair my phonebook, now is there away to get this to work by maybe using a diff rom or something or debranding the phone
thanks
My phonebook doesn't show up either when I pair my phone. I have a jvc unit. However, bluetooth streaming works fine but the names of the songs don't display.. it states unknown when playing. I think this is just a phone issue, not sure. Anyone else have the phonebook working?
You might need to update the blue tooth firmware. I was thinking about using the DNX6140 bluetooth firmware on my DNX6160 just to see if the damn thing will do A2DP and SMS. Since DNX6140 has all the features that I would assume the 6160 would have. If it fails, I will update to 3.80
I have a G1 and a Galaxy Tab. Both grayed out phoning options right after I hang up. I chose this unit over Pioneer AVIC-920BT just b/c of Garmin nav I should have just installed a iPad or an Android Tab with GPS

No connection with my Car Built-in Bluetooth

Hello, I just bought a Xperia S and I did not reach in connection it to my Built-in bluetooth system (a parrot built-in kit in a Citroen). The pjone can see the system but I'm not able to make the system pairing.
I already had difficulties in the past with an X10 but it was linked to Android 1.6 and with my Samsung Galaxy S2 under Cyanogen7. I have no issue to conenct with Nokia E6, iPhone 4 or Android 2.3.X smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire,...).
I think that it could come from the BT stack used by Sony or from their Android adaptation and I don't think I would be able to pair the system till an update could be released or perhaps with ICS.
Does somebody has the same difficulty or a solution ?
Best regards
Try to reset the bluetooth in your car.

I had the same issue with my bluetooth IO player.First time when I added it after that it would not connect. Turned bluetooth off and on and automatically connected. Might be worth restarting your phone. If the phone can add it then it should be able to connect to it.
Hello, I do,'t know where to reset my car BT as it is a built-in. One solution could be to remove the fuse....
It is not a question of connexion as I'm not able to pair the BT device and the Xperia.
I have no issue with all the other phones !!!
I have a 2009 Ford Mondeo and my Xperia S paired with the integrated bluetooth unit without any issues. Can browse phone book and call log without any issues and obviously make/receive calls.

[Q] Xperia Z Ultra Issues: Bluetooth

I'm not sure what's wrong but I've been having bluetooth connectivity issue last few days. I paired the Z Ultra with Sony Smartwatch and I noticed that the Smartwatch would loose connectivity every once in a while, even though the phone is in my pants pocket or just 30cm away from.
I did all the usual troubleshooting, restarting both devices and re-pair it.
Anybody experiencing similar issue?
I have actually experienced a problem with the bluetooth when pairing to my Jabra headset. I have only had the phone for a 2 days and just recently updated to build number 14.1.b.0.471. Since then, i havent tested out the bluetooth yet. However, i have seen some bug fixes.
Have you updated to the latest firmware yet?

Yes, the phone is up to date.
I'm having Bluetooth issues with various headsets and this phone. Some of them disconnect, some hang, some randomly will have one way voice in the middle of the call.
Running the latest firmware. Something is up with the BT drivers on this phone.

i had similar issues with bluetooth and linking to my car. at first it worked fine, but if i would change input on car stereo and come back, to the bluetooth, the mb bluetooth would auto start google play music. the solution for me was to remove all device from bluetooth option from phone and car and it worked perfectly.
That sounds worrying cos I ordered the SBH52
Hope they fixed this. Haven't tested my blue tooth yet cos I don't have a BT device.

The thing is, I only paired one bluetooth device to the phone. As mentioned above, I unpaired, restart and re-pair the Smartwatch again and the issue persist.
I find it weird because it worked fine when I first paired the Smartwatch with the phone. The problem only occurred recently
I've had nothing but trouble using SBH50 (same with both firmwares 1.0.A.4.0 and 1.1.A.0.7) with Z Ultra (14.1.B.0.475). First time connection (NFC) went smoothly. Followed by lots of trouble within minutes. Frequent lost connections (even when they were just a few inches apart) followed by requests for pairing. Random loss of media or phone audio without any warning sign.
Connection was stable only after uninstalling the SBH50 android application (and all the smart extras), disabling Sony Smart Connector and execution of manual pairing. No more event reminders, but at least it is now usable for music and phone calls. Hopefully Sony will update firmware/software to address the connectivity problems.
[Edited 30 August 2013: Happy to report that the connectivity problems were resolved in firmware 14.1.B.1.510]

I have the SBH20 and never had any problem... connected the first time via NFL, just turned on bluetooth on both the phone and the headset since.
Everything runs smooth, and I'm still at. 510.

broken bluetooth
hi guys, ive been looking for a fix to my bluetooth. i just bought SW2 but i still unable to use it because apparently the bluetooth on my phone could not detect the watch. I have tried reset, fixing it via companion apps in windows but problems still persist. i have tried using my galaxy with SW2 and no problem there. basically it was my bluetooth inside the ZU that are causing all the problems. Im on the latest build .257 and are not rooted. Bootloader is locked and everything else is stock. When i tried to connect via the 1-touch NFC there's dialogue showing up on my phone that the watch is connected but nothing happen afterwards. the SW2 is still in its pairing mode and there are no instruction to ask me for download or anything as shown by Sony in their youtube channel. Im growing frustrated with this phone. Having to live without root and now wasted $200 on a watcg that i cant even use. argghhhhhhhh....any help is much appreciated guys!
I have the same problem with the Sony SmartWatch 2 when I talk in my BT headset the phone keeps losing connection with my watch.
edit: system restore did the trick
Im also facing unresolved issue with my xperia zultra and bluetooth connectivit.
My phone is unable to recognize any bluetooth hardwares and its becoming quite annoyiing.
Has there been any remedy to this issue?
Thanks

[Q] Handsfree carkit & bluetooth JB 4.2.1

Good afternoon.
I got a simple handsfree bluetooth carkit, wich works as a simple bt headset, transfers call audio to car speakers and nothin more, doesnt sync messages nor contacts, just a simple pair&go.
I had a sonyericson x-10 mini pro with android 2.1 that worked just fine, recently i've aquired a bq aquaris 5hd with jelly bean 4.2.1, and i cant get bluetooth to stay connected.
what happens is, i pair the two devices just fine, but then, they just remain connected for some secs and then connection is disabled, rendering the handsfee kits useless. i reconnect, after some secs it disconnects again. been reading on internet and it seems its a common problem with JB 4.2.1, these bluetooth issues.
my question is, is there any fix i can apply? any app that i can install? anything at all?!
thx for any help
Other phone (Walton Primo X2 with 4.2.1), same issue.
Is there any solution, because no upgrade is planned from the manufacturer.
Thx

Bluetooth issues after MM update

Hi to all, long time reader/lurker, first time posting
On topic, i have a Xperia C4 E5306, updated from lollipop to marshmallow via flashtool ver. 9.19.8, no issues, everything went fine, aside some functions with new names or in different place, all dandy... except connection with my kenwood car stereo (KMM-BT312), actually, it connects fine, just it doesn´t display media info like it did with lollipop, it just displays BT AUDIO, but no song title, artist, etc.
Has anyone come up with this error, if so, did you were able to fix it?
Thanks to all, and i hope somebody can help with this little anoyance.
Ramon S.
Ps. I did try by deleting devices, pairing, unpairing, renaming devices, resetting the phone AND the car stereo, to no avail.
Firmware update
I find an updated firmware for my kenwood headunit, firmware 0.32 to 0.36, still the same problem, no media info from bluetooth, odly, USB connection shows all media info... So now i am pretty sure it´s an android 6.0 issue.
Cheers.
Bluetooth working just fine... Bravia engine working for u??? .... Not working for me....
I am having problems with Bluetooth after upgrading to 6.0
Connected Watch Sony SmartWatch 3. When the screen is turned on - off on its own Wi-Fi
In 5.1, this was not.
Same issues for me. Bluetooth completely full of bugs and stuttering since upgrade to MM on my C5 Ultra Dual. Perfect before. Frustrating how the device is now totally useless for my day to day needs. Have approached Sony several times and they have no answers or don't answer. But certainly, have no idea of what is causing issues since upgrade to MM. My phone was perfect on Lollipop. Complete rubbish now. Done full reinstall. No difference. My guess is its "Throw" causing issues.
