Waze on my iPhone worked great in my car over the stereo speakers. Now it won't play over BT with my S6. I have read about all I can find and some even say the car/phone must be A2DP compatible. Well my car hasn't changed so is the S6 not compliant or is there something else going on?
In Waze, I don't see a "Prefer Bluetooth" option in sound like I did on my iPhone
So is there something in the phone that i need to adjust
My Waze volume from my S5 to my Blue Ant speaker has recently become very low. Hardly audible with A/C blowing and radio at normal listening levels. It used to be extremely loud, to where I had to turn it down some. I have phone media volume maxed (after clicking OK to that annoying message about damaging ears), Waze sound settings maxed, and blue ant maxed. BTW, other sounds from the Blue Ant are excruciatingly loud, like "Say a Command," so it's definitely either an issue with a recent S5 update or a Waze update.
I purchased an Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 on Amazon in March to use with AT&T. Since I purchased the phone I've been having continued issues with the GPS specifically when using Google Maps and Waze for GPS directions. The location services works fine for every other app, including Swarm/Foursquare, Weather and Facebook...there are no issues finding my location for these applications.
When using Waze: I will always get the "No GPS. Showing approximate location." error every time I attempt to use the app.
When using Google Maps: The phone does not track along with my progress through the turn-by-turn navigation. The GPS will follow me along the route, but the application will not provide the turn-by-turn updates as I progress along the route (it will stay stuck on the first step of the trip throughout).
I've already attempted to clear data, clear cache and force stop the apps several times, I've used the GPS Status app to download GPS assistance data as well as using it to reset the GPS cache. The application is unable to find GPS location, no matter how long I leave it running and regardless of whether I'm sitting outdoors on a completely clear sky or indoors, there's no luck with the app.
This really starting to get on my nerves, and I'm considering just doing a factory reset of the phone in the hopes that doing so will reset the GPS as well (I'm assuming I must have done something along the way during the set-up when I first started up the phone).
I'll use my GS6 as my GPS and while driving, the screen will rotate 180 degrees. I'm now looking at an upside down map. It's done this with Waze and Google Maps. After a while it'll do the same thing and flip back to rightside up. If I don't, I'll have to rotate the screen back to potrait mode before rotating it back to landscape. I've done some research on Google and haven't found any results, only that the GS6 Edge had a rotation problem, but it doesn't seem related. None of my other apps mimic this behavior.
I have the phone connected via Bluetooth, and i can make and receive calls just fine, all is loud and clear.
But it will not play Music (not from YouTube, not from google Music) when i hit AD2P
I checked some forums and other sites, i tried unpairing, i tried force stop and remove data and clear cache, i tried to do almost anything - nothing worked.
i also do not have the "Media Audio" option under options in Bluetooth device properties (when you click the round icon next to the car device name) - but also ,
My brother has LG G3 (android 5.0) and he is ABLE to play music just fine - He also do not have the "Media Audio" option in bluetooth device properties.
Both phones properties look the same, but only the LG G3 is playing music once AD2P is chosen in the Car.
When I connect my phone to my cars Bluetooth it automatically starts playing music from Samsungs Music app. The issue is I have Google All Access so none of my music is in that app. Is there a way to have Google Music play by default when connected instead of Samsungs Music app? I checked to see if Samsungs app was set as a default but it wasn't and I can't find any auto play options, I also can't just disable the music app. Oddly enough sometimes it will open Google music and other times it will open Samsung Music even if the last time I was in the car I used Google Music.
I have a Galaxy S5 and I love S-health but the phone is a bit too big for my taste for taking it to a run in the park so I'd like to buy a smart device that works with S-Health and can play music through a bluetooth headset, any device that can do this?
So I connect to a bluetooth device for my car to play music and provide directions. Driving mode somehow got turned on and is annoying as all heck. So basically I want it gone. It doesnt do anything for me, it just randomly resends a notification and interrupts my music and I have had it. How do I disable this terrible feature?
I paired my Xperia Play R800a with my laptop (HP DV7 series running W7HP 64 bits) but it does not connect at all. When I try, I keep getting this message: Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver not found. It can't be found through Windows Update and I can't find it anywhere on the web to download.
I didn't know if I should put this in the Storm forum(s) or 3rd party or GPS but here it is.
I tried out waze because I've heard of it and it looks pretty cool but of course touchscreen BBs aren't supported. In an effort to try and help the issues storm users are seeing there is a post on the waze forums here.
The thing is, you can only create an account from the client, and you can't use the client on the storm.... how do they expect any feedback? I messaged them on their twitter and that got me nowhere fast.
Am I the only one that sees this as completely moronic?
I was able to get it working a little w/o compatibility mode now. Enough to get an acct setup and post on their forums at least.
battery draining while using GPS in the car? Yesterday I drove for two hours and went from 99% to about 48%, all while charging (no other apps running, auto-brightness, no bluetooth, etc.) The charger isn't the fault as I tested it with my wife's M8 (using same apps, etc.). The M8 reached 100% and stayed there. I've since purchased a 2.0 quick charger (which I've yet to use) but why the performance would be drastically worse on the M9. I ran a check disk on my SD card (Sandisk Ultra 64GB) and so errors were found. Outside of the car/GPS use, battery seems close to the M8 but, if anything, a little worse. I can live with that but cannot have my phone drained after a long drive in the car.
Searching the internet and some say that it is a format issue and I should buy a converter, it is not a format issue since the same file will play on the network drive but not on the S5 network card.
if I try to play Pandora internet radio on my Samsung s5 smart phone my wifi has to be turned off, so I have to play it using my data, can I set my phone to play Pandora while connected to wifi?
I have a Xperia Play R800x running android 2.3.2 and my computer dosn't have bluetooth bulit into it. So what I want to do is connect my wii remote and other bluetooth devices to my computer by using my phone.
I have synced my blackberry bold bluetooth with my honda and I can seamlessly accept/receive calls. I am yet to figure out on how to play music using my phone. When I play music on my phone, the sound comes from phone speakers and not from car stereo. I guess since its bluetooth connected, it should automatically play music through car stereo when I play it on my blackberry.
I have a bluetooth device to play my audio through my AUX jack into my car stereo. It has worked fine for a year, but now the iPhone only plays music through the iPhone speaker and not through bluetooth. The bluetooth device is working because WAZE and Siri is played through the bluetooth. Also when I make a call, it goes through the bluetooth. In that app, it shows an audio source selection and although the bluetooth is selected, the option of "speaker" is also selected. I cannot unselect it through that app. Â
How do I get iTunes to play through bluetooth? I have reset the iPhone. I have wiped it and restored from backup. Is there an audio source option somewhere?
Love the phone and hopefully this is a basic operation I missed somewhere, but when I connect handsfree to my Bluetooth in the car, calls work great but when I play music it comes out the phone's speakers and not the car.
Similar when I plugged in the phone to a USB input on a boombox, the music plays from Zune over the phone's speakers.
i am using BB 8900 curve..and i cud able to pair my bb device with technocel t10 bluetooth headset device.But how to play songs and listen from that headset...i tried to press the play button on the headset when the songs are being played on the bb device..but when ever i am pressing play button it is going to voice mail and asking me to tell name of the person i need to call....
My Xperia X10 will pair with the Bluetooth in my Mazda 3 and I can make phone calls okay, but whan I try to play music nothing comes through the speakers.
I would like to play my iPhone music to my computer using bluetooth, as I can in my car or to a bluetooth speaker... Is this possible? or, do I need to connect at cable from the phone to the computer. Bluetooth is how I would like to do this because I already have my home stereo connected to my computer using the cable connection.

When I play music with my play 360 the bluetooth button starts to make noise, it rattles against its housing.It even does it with the start up sound, it is very anoying becouse I payed alot of money for this speaker, and this noise just ruins the music.
The only way to stop it is to put something against the button, to obstruct it from moving.Do other users experience the same? and what sould I do, contact nokia? contact the place where I bought it? or does every play 360 have it?
Just bought the VH410 for my xperia x10,but am disappointed that i cant seem to get music to play on the headset,it would just play on the speaker. I have already checked the SE website for compatibility and with both supporting a2dp. Have done resets on both devices but to no avail. What should i do?
I have an Xperia PLAY R800at with 2.3.3. Whenever I'm using my bluetooth device and reconnect to my wifi network, I lose bluetooth packets for 5-6 seconds. This does not happen when I compare against the Nexus S sitting right next to the Xperia PLAY.
This is a really bad problem, and is probably going to result in me not using my PLAY at all.
I loved my Lumia 1020 but could not get music to play via Bluetooth in either of my cars no matter what I tried. It says it connects fine for phone and music and I can receive calls, I can hear and dictate texts, but when it comes to music the phone plays one song for 1 second and then continually loops trying to play the song but only ever makes it 1 second. In the Toyota, it also doesn't send any song information. I have unlinked bluetooth, relinked it, reset the phone, disconnected voice and left music, and had no luck.
My cars are a 2011 Tundra Platinum and 2013 Infiniti JX. I've also read some people had the same issue with Audi and Lexus.
Additionally, both of my cars have USB jacks to interface and play music through with the Navigation/sound system directly and that doesn't work either. The cars completely don't recognize it. Androids and iPhones all work flawlessly.
I honestly had become a big Lumia 1020/WP8 fan and love what Nokia offers in software. I actually really like the WP8 interface as well but not having Bluetooth connectivity to my vehicles (for both voice and music streaming) is a deal-breaker.
I have a 2010 Toyota Tundra with Navigation system. I can pair my new Iphone 4S to the calling part, but I cannot get my music to go through Bluetooth.
I'm using Xperia Play & having disconnection problems with BOTH Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220 & MW600. Initially I thought it was HBH-DS220 not playing nice with Android, so I bought MW600 Last Saturday, but sadly Problem persists.Problem Description: Simply put, I'd be lucky to finish a phone call over the bluetooth headset without it dropping connection. The MW600 would still display the telephone number, while in fact no sound is coming or going through, and then it takes a few seconds for the "Bluetooth" toggle button on the phone call UI to disappear. Whenever that happens, I'll have to frantically yank off the earbud, take out the phone, and start appologising to the other person for missing the last few seconds of conversation.It would also sometimes lose connection when I'm playing games, the sound would stop coming in from the game, then the game will freeze for a second or two, and suddenly the sound would start coming out from the the built in loud speakers and give everyboy else a heart attack.i'm using stock firmware, never rooted/unlocked:
Model number: R800i Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMChost #1 Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.58
EDIT: On another note, after posting this, I found I have put my email as the displayed username... (I already have an account over at blog.sonymobile, and over there, username means email address. So I put my email address when I log on here, the button says something like "create account"... yes, its a bit weird, yet plausible since I was thinking you're confirming my email before proceeding onto anothe create account screen. There was no warning THAT username is the one going to be displayed.)
I purchased a pair of S10-HD (allegedly) stereo headphones yesterday. I paired them with my iMac/OS10.6.8, but they only play in mono. My other bluetooth headphones from Creative play stereo just fine, so why does my S10-HD only play in mono?
