4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

Smart Talk not working with Bluetooth since update

I have been using Smart Talk for many months now on my iPhone. I have a bluetooth headset which I generally use.
This has worked fine (with the exception that when I get an incomming call it disconnects the bluetooth from the Smart Talk call).
But now, since installing version 1.28.0, Smart Talk is not working with my bluetooth headset at all. When I first make a call the headset is connected - I hear ringback tone. But as soon as the call is answered, the headset disconnects and the call is transferred to the iPhone itself. And the Smart Talk app does not give me any options to select the "audio source" (as it does if I make an ordinary mobile call).
As I almost exclusively use the headset, this latest update has made Smart Talk unusable for me.
Is there anyway I can get back to the previous version?

I worked out the problem... I'm using iPhone 4S iOS7
- Start BT Smart Talk from in car
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
- kill and restart BT Smart talk
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
3rd call, always no bluetooth.
It seems there is no way to select the output like with all other bluetooth devices too

Video & Voice Chat Not Working With ichat

Hi
Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
Another thing.
If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

Voice dial not working after upgrading to iOS 5

After I upgraded my iPhone 4's operating system to iOS 5, voice dial is not working any more. When I press and hold the home button, voice control is enabled but only music-realted features (such as play, pause, etc) and "what time it is" work. The "dial XXX" and "call NAME" option don't work any more, and in the blue screen that is shown for voice control, I don't see the word "dial" appearing any more.
My friend who has iPhone 3GS upgraded and she doesn't have this problem.
Do I have this problem because I made a mistake during upgrade?
Is there some place where you can specifically disable/enable voice dial?
Or, is it Apple who disabled this feature, to temp iPhone 4 users to upgrade to iPhone 4S to have that feature back?

No, because I don't even know how to do that. I just restored the phone to one of the previous backups I had, using iTunes. The OS was unchanged (iOS 5) but the functionality was restored.
In this process, I lost all my applications, but my notes, contacts, etc were untouched (see below). As for apps, all I had to do was to look at the list of my apps in iTunes, and reinstall them.
If you want to do the same thing, note that you may lose your contacts or notes if you simply restore an old backup. Before you do so, enable iCloud and make sure your contacts and notes (and other important things) are backed up in iCloud. Then, after restoring your phone, enable iCloud again and it will fetch all the contacts, notes, etc that you might have added after that backup you just restored.

TS1702 why does my iphone 5s not display apps to my jvc car stereo, when the same apps work with my 4s?

why does my iphone 5s not displaying apps on my jvc car stereo. these apps worked with my iphone 4s?

Blackberries were designed at a time when cellular data was very expensive. They don't do nearly as much as an iPhone, in part, to conserve data use. All modern smartphones will use more data than a Blackberry unless you do almost nothing.
You do not need to quite apps. Almost no apps run in the background.
Here are Apple's tips on iPhone battery use:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
If you are really only getting an hour of battery usage and not just engaging in hyperbole (), you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

I hooked my ipod to my computer, went in to itunes and it was unable to commumicate saying i have to up date to 10.4.1 or something??? it has no updates available and ionternet was working and no updates available, other issues it is not working now..

I have hooked up my sons ipod that is about a year old, seems like an iphone 3 style and received last christmas
I tried to add songs on his ipod and it said that unable to perform as i had to update to 10.4.1 or somthing like that. i tried to go to settings, updates and i said that all updates were completed and the latest was 6.3 or something like that6.1.1 ???
anyway there was no update, and during having it hooked up, i tried to locate it with itunes and now it fails to swipe left or right on the screen,
The off button on the top was not working since new. also not sure why this happened but didn't return it as it was a gift and didn't have a receipt.
i can get to settings, and only the first page, it won't scroill up or down, unable to turn off since new, and when swiping to turn on the picture in middle gets a square box around it and then it notices that my finger is on the swipe section and will attempt to open and after a few swipes it will open.
it also appears like the buttons or screen has to be pushed twice to work, but sometimes you have to type or press your selection 5-10 times to have it respond???

Visual Voice Mail not working with Telcel

I have 2 cell phones with Telcel in Mexico, one iPhone 4 (company) and an iPhone 5S (personal)
On the company phone, Visual Voice mail works perfectly. But for almost a year I've been trying to get Telcel to fix it on my iPhone 5S with absolutely no success.
They've reset my Voice Mail service on their end several times.
They've told me I'm crazy and that the automated recording I get when pressing on Voice Mail is the correct service.
They've told me they need to take my phone to a service lot and mess with it
They've told me I need to fully reset the phone and delete everything on it for it to work
One Rep even said that I needed the most expensive Premium VIP phone plan for it to work...
It's amazing that the biggest carrier in Mexico has absolutely no training for their reps, or customer care and support technicians regarding iPhones, and scpecifically about this issue...
About a month ago the red indicator for new messages turned on, and I've done EVERYTHING and it still stays on, reset the phone, reset network settings, have the carrier reset the voice mail service, used a carrier provided app to reset the service myself (it does disable an enable), upgraded to iOS 8, setup as a new phone, still the same issue.
Is there something Apple can do to enforce a minimum level of support from their business partners? If Visual Voice Mail did not work on my company phone... I would have no reason to complain, but its amazing that when I show both phones to the technicians with the different VM experience... they look at them like they are Moon Rocks, Asteroids, or a piece of God in my hands... Frustrating not being able to get an answer from the carrier after almost a year...

Well I guess we have to write in english although we are from mexico and speak spanish, so I have the very same problem but mine started not log ago when I upgraded to an iPhone 6 Plus, VVM worked fine then the red bubble appeared in the phone icon, I have gone several times and just like you say the reps know nothing, they have activated over and over, reset VVM, I have turned off and on my phone, actually it's 2 phones we have with the same problem.
I just performed what pakoriv said and at least the red bubble went away but when i tap VVM it still calls *86 in both phones, the second one it's an upgrade from an LG phone so I understand if VMM does't work right away, but the first phone (or line) has been used with iphone since day 1.
I'll let you know if pakoriv method causes another effect later on my phone.

Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop. I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

rcschnoor -
The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page. Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way? Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

Car stereo (clarion vz401) sometimes not recognizing ipod 6th generation. it says unsupported usb?

I have a brand new 6th gen ipod nano. when i connect it to my car stereo (which says it supports 6th gen) most of the time it will say unsupported usb. after a long time it will eventually connect and work fine. this happens every day. any ideas?

The iphone and ipod are not the same device.
Perhaps your car stereo supports ipod and not iphone. Check with the manufacturer of your car stereo.

Car Bluetooth Steering Controls Not Working with iOS7

Hi - I have 2013 RAV4. The a steering controls stopped working after updating to iOS 7.
I can't switch to next song or previous song which i was able to do with iOS6. Any suggestions how to fix this?

There are some other discussions on loss of lock screen and control center music controls.

I believe it is the same issue, which would indicate that it is an issue with the phone, nothing to do with the car/stereo/speakers/etc.
When I lose Bluetooth control I also lose lock screen (and control center) controls. Other controls work, but no play, pause, skip forward/back, and of course no song resume on reconnection. A hard phone reset or power cycle fixes it every time, I never have to mess with the car. However, the issue re-occurs about every 2-4 days and I have to reset the phone again to get control back. Does everyone else lose lock screen control at the same time as BT?
It may be a hardware issue. I have a 4S. What phone models are exibiting the BT issue?

Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.
