android bluetooth

FWIW, I have a Galaxy Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich and it works fine. I've tried calling (making/receiving), playing music from Google Music, and Pandora. All have worked fine.

Hmm. My Sprint HTC EVO 4g (about 2 yrs old) works fine. Dial, call, phonebook. Haven't used voice dial tho.

My problem is it works too good. Sucks in every contact from google, even the ones without phones numbers. But at least they're there.

Which version of Android? Mine worked until I upgraded to gingerbread.

Beats me.

Phone says 2.3.5

I don't know if that's cheezburger or margarita.

Hmmm. That would be gingerbread.

I have the EVO 4G LTE, and I also notice that the BT icon on the center stack goes off and on. Thought it was some kind of power management thing, but receiving a call did not cause it to reconnect. My Palm Pre- did not have any problems with the BT connection.

Similar issues. My Bluetooth connection via the Blackberry "Bridge" adapter was working perfectly with my iPhone 4S. The Volt's Bluetooth would recognize the iPhone as a phone whenever I entered the car, and the Blackberry adapter would recognize the iPhone as an audio source so that I could use the Bluetooth via the Audio AUX in the car.
Last week I added a Verizon Samsung Galaxy III (Ice Cream Sandwich is the OS) and paired the Android phone to both the Volt and the Blackberry audio "bridge".

The phone part works perfectly, and the Volt always recognizes the Galaxy III.

The Blackberry "bridge" is the problem as it loses the audio/aux connection any time the car is shut off and requires me to re-pair the phone with the adapter every time I get into the Volt.

I know that this is not a Volt issue, but more of an issue of how the Blackberry Bluetooth "bridge" interacts with the Samsung Galaxy III. I am hoping that someone has the same issue. I have no problem buying another brand Bluetooth "bridge" adapter, and I would like something that would work seamlessly in the background, the same way as the iPhone worked.

Been thinking about this one (just came out) since it's much simpler and I think also holds a charge so doesn't have to be separately powered all the time. Really want one of these for my boat too.

I have been using my Android HTC EVO 3D phone for 9 months with no problems. I however just updated the software to 4.0 and something funny is happing now. Every 30 mins, almost like clockwork, the car (the same voice that announces Bluetooth options and OnStar etc) says "thankyou, goodbye"? Can't figure this one out. The phone is still connected. When I disable the Bluetooth on the phone it does not happen. Anybody got any ideas?

Haven't seen my phone show up in this thread, so adding a note on my experience. I have a Samsung Droid Charge, model SCH-I510, firmware 2.3.6, Kernel version 2.6.35.7-FPS.

I am able to pair my phone with my 2013 Volt, but if I agree to let the car sync with the phonebook on the phone, I have problems with audio connections between my phone and the car. Bluetooth still connects reliably, but when I make a call the audio doesn't come over the car speakers or the microphone. When I receive a call, the phone rings but the car doesn't signal an incoming call. If I try to answer the phone manually in that case, I have to manually take the phone off of the bluetooth connection and then use the mobile phone as a handset.

Deleting the phone from the Volt bluetooth devices and re-pairing works, provided you don't allow the phone book to sync.

This is a pretty big pain, since California has strong hands-free laws and voice dialing would be really useful. There's no way to manually set up a phone book with frequently called numbers on the Volt directly, only by pairing with a phone and syncing with the phonebook there.
