Nexus 4.0.2 bug? Bluetooth...

[radzer0]

I've noticed many times my truck won't connect Bluetooth on its own. Even if I manually tell it to connect if will just hang on "connecting" but if i cycle Bluetooth on the phone it connects instantly without telling the radio anything. Anybody else notice this?

I have to do this once in every 20 times or so (upon cranking up the truck). If I cycle bluetooth off then on, it also fixes it. That's just a guesstimate, but is yours more often than that?

That's with an aftermarket Pioneer unit.

My truck does this every now and then too, maybe once a month? Never did it with my old Android phone.

I don't know, seems to me like some car stereos are just really unreliable. My previous one used to connect sometimes and then disconnect when I would answer calls leaving them in limbo. My wife's minivan is really hit or miss, especially if BT on the phone isn't enabled when the vehicle is first started up. I thought it was my old Droid, but its hit or miss with my GN too.

Hmm, it makes me wonder what different methods radio manufacturers use for Bluetooth headset functionality. Like on my aftermarket Kenwood unit, it downloads my phonebook to the car every time it turns on (which is normal, I'm assuming it doesn't store them permanently or checks for changes), and then the headset functionality works perfectly after that. I had zero problems with both my Eris and the Nexus (at least in the short time I've had it). I thought it would be a pretty simple and standardized thing to implement but maybe not.

I had a few issues on 4.0.2, syncing my phone (2010 Mazdaspeed 3). But once it was synced, it has worked flawlessly. I am on 4.0.4 now and no issues either.
