I didn't see any other threads on this and I'm not sure if it might be specific to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus or Lexus/Toyota cars. Since Jelly Bean, I've already had my car's bluetooth connectivity go into a weird state with the phone three times.

The car will be playing music (default music app) and the navigation app, playing just fine through the car's bluetooth, and then, both the car and phone will indicate connected, but the sound will stop. If I turn off the car, the bluetooth on the phone thinks its still connected. The only way to clear the condition is to turn off the bluetooth on the phone and turn it back on. So much for that "extra" Verizon testing. This all worked fine for me with ICS.

Anyone else see a problem like this?

Thanks!

I am having occasional problems connecting since jb. Was rock solid on ics. I am on sprint and have a Lexus.

This is my only issue with 4.1.

Samsung Galaxy S3 running Omega JB 4.1.1 - Driving a Toyota Prius

Greetings

I myself have experienced odd bluetooth issues with my Samsung Galaxy S3 running Omega JB 4.1.1 version 30 whilst driving my Toyota Prius.

Every 5 mins or 10 mins or so many minutes the audio from my podcast, for example, stops dead and I have to open up the app and hit play for it to continue.

Bizarrely I also experienced this the other day whilst driving a VW too.

Was fine on ICS.

I've you to find a solution.

I've been using Omega since version 25 and have also experienced the same issue on the Wannam custom stock rom.

Tonight I placed the device into Aeroplane mode and kept bluetooth running and the problem persisted.

I have no idea with regards I'm afraid.

Thanks

Dave

Update: I found that the audio issue I was experiencing was not bluetooth specific. I tried direct in to the car audio via the AUX jack and the problem persisted. But I also noted that after a clean install of a rom the issue did not exist so I worked my way towards the removal of the Deezer app and since then I have not experienced the problem. Go figure?

I am not having this problem with my Nexus and my myford touch sync setup. I do, however, get a lag between video and sound, where the sound is behind of the picture and out of sync. *shrug* Wish I could help more.

I can't even do more than phone on my 2012 BMW. No mobile office but calls work fine. When the CSR is turned off it doesn't switch to headset like it will of my wife's 2004 lancer.
