Problem 2:

Some users of Galaxy S5 have complained that the song info and track are not being displayed through their car’s Bluetooth once they have updated their device to Lollipop.

Solution:

It is nothing but either a conflict issue of your Galaxy S5 device with the car kit or due to the outdated memory stored in the car kit. So, you are advised to delete all the Bluetooth devices from your car kit and then pair back.

Problem 3:

Bluetooth keeps on switching to the phone speaker during a call inside the car is the issue that many users have faced with their Galaxy S5 device.

Solutions:

Most probably this issue happens due to the interference that can come from sources like Wi-Fi, GPS navigation, car kit and Bluetooth devices. Even though the car kit is designed to resist most of the interference but frequency hopping is the standard of Bluetooth devices, so you might face the issue anytime. What is required to resolve the issue is to turn off all the wireless devices in the car as you make the call.  Also, it is better to turn off the Wi-Fi on your device as well in case you are not using it.

Problem 4:

Samsung Galaxy S5 Bluetooth is not getting connected to other devices is another issue about which some users have reported.

Solutions:

Ensure that the Bluetooth in your S5 is enabled by going to Settings> Application Manager> All> Bluetooth. It should show off the disable button. In case you see the enable button, tap on it and Bluetooth will be ON in your Galaxy S5 device.

Problem 5:

Many users have faced issues with car mode as they have updated the Galaxy S5 with Android Lollipop. According to them, the device is connecting to the car via Bluetooth perfectly in the car mode with no issues in receiving and sending calls. The screen is also locked once a call is made or received.  But users have reported that the screen is not locked in the car mode. In case no call is received or sent, it stays in the car mode screen and the users need to unlock the screen to allow the incoming and outgoing calls.

Solutions:

This problem does not mean that the car kit is damaged rather it is only because of some incompatibility issues between the car kit’s driver and the newly updated Android OS. However first clear the cache partition on your device and perform a factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.

If the above fixes do not work out, contact the manufacturer of your car’s kit.
