Bluetooth Compatibility Thread

[Sonic330]

Sony Ericsson w580i works beautifully under bluetooth, I can access my full contacts list on the phone via the stereo head unit.

LG Thrive P506 (Android 2.2) will pair and you can answer incoming phone calls but cannot access the contacts list.

Pantech Link II will pair and can access contacts via stereo controls but when disconnecting bluetooth by phone the cars bluetooth icon will stay on like it didn´t get the signal to turn itself off to go into standby. However, going into the bluetooth settings and deleting the phones profile from the car will get rid of the bluetooth icon staying on.

Since I am using the usb port for music playback with a flash drive I have not tested any of the phones for music playback via bluetooth.

Verizon's droid 3 works great for both music and phone, minus the song title/artist not showing up on the head unit. (could just be user error as far as the way i have it loaded to my phone) I THOUGHT for a minute there it wouldn't load my contacts, then realized in the notification bar it was asking permission to do so. I'll play around with it some more and see if I can get it to show me the titles

Blue tooth and samsung sch 820

My samsung sch 820 (slider) on verizon has the blue tooth problems listed in the stickies. So I thought I would start a seperate journal.

I have been able to connect my wife's grand daughter's black berry and my wife's samsung (another model a flip phone) just fine. But my 820 does not stay connected and cannot make or receive calls. As does my wife's son's sch 820

So I have contacted chevy technical and they requested and help setup a maintenance trip to the local chevy dealership where I did not buy the sonic.

This is the writeup from that maintenance:

1799 was not able to duplicate paired different phone to vehicle was able to make and receive calls called tech assist case 71-1026881007 per there direction possible is a phone issue not vehicle per gm web site General Motors | Bluetooth for GM Vehicles | GM cust phone is not on approved list

called chevy tech and they are now contacting district tech.

When I went to pick up the car they had not even attempted to pair my phone I left with them. They did that (with the service manager also) and sure enough it was not able to receive a call.

Isn't this fun?

I found your problem:

Cust phone is not on approved list

Sorry, this doesn't need its own thread. Merging with the compatibility thread.

 

[beaslbob]

just got call from district and they agreed with the dealer. not their blue tooth problem but rather my phone. no effort mentioned to make changes to get my phone to work.

FWIW here is a web site for the sonic:

Find Your Phone - onstar.com

apparently they expect you to buy a phone that work and most of those phones have problems or limitations.

my sch 820 was not listed but the v 740 i760 schu960 were. sch u810 listed as not compatible.

My Motorola Atrix pairs and connects both phone and music with no problems.

Phone book transferred over to head unit as well.

Phone calls have been clear and I've streamed several music and video players without any BT audio issues.

Bluetooth Issues

8000+ miles into the car.... I'm loving it.

Phone types - Droid Razr, Droid x2, and Iphone.

I have a few issues connecting and streaming bluetooth.

I get audio skips all the time during bluetooth audio streaming.
I have setup smart actions to turn off data push, wireless connections, anything and everything that could be causing interference. I have unpaired/repaired the devices over and over.

The other issue is that I have to manually pair to the GM MUSIC DEVICE every time either on the phone or using the select device on the radio. It does not automatically connect.

Connecting the phone's bluetooth to the car works perfectly every time. No drops/skips. It connects automatically always.

My Motorola Electrify has a similar issue but only when using Pandora. If I turn off the Bluetooth phone but leave the Bluetooth Audio connected, it works perfectly.

I figured it was a software issue and I don't stream all that often so I just use this trick when streaming.

sprint htc 4g evo works great music and phone.I have to turn it on in the radio if i dont use it every day.

My Sidekick 4G works perfectly for both phone and music.

I can also confirm the droid 3 works perfectly. Someone needs to update the first post so people dont have dig through this whole thing.
