My BT doesn't cut in and out, my problem is the text messages coming through on my Nav station.

I have an ES300h and Samsung S4. Sometimes the message option is grayed out. Not sure why as BT is connected and working fine.

I use an app called AVX for text messages and email. This app allows the ability to set up what streams you want the audio to go through. I have mine set for music and it sounds great.

I was actually just told that my service provider At&t can do what they call a flash back on my phone to get back to the previous operating system. I plan on going to the At&t devce service storn here where I live. Luckily it's only 11 miles from where I live. I will be going tomorrow. They told me that the new update 4.4.2 OS isn't compatible with Lexus. I don't understand this.

I requested a flashback and was told it was not possible. Anyway, they owe me a fix or a new phone very soon.

Interesting thread. I've had my GS4 Android with the new OS before my 4GS Lexus so I thought it was me doing something wrong. I actually have experienced a lot of the same issues.

I did realize that things work a bit more smoothly for me if the phone's BT radio is on before I start the car. Not a solution, but it at least makes music streaming, voice calls, and a few other basic functions usable for me.

I love this feature on my Nokia Win 8 phone. I won't consider an iPhone until this is fully integrated.
The only problem with this feature is when it is connected to a Bluetooth speaking (say at work) it interrupts every time a text comes in.

That's BS. I've had 4.4.2 on my AT&T MotoX for months without these issues. Now, the issue may be with Samsung, but not the OS.

I'm assuming the same may have happened to you. I haven't spent must time debugging the issue to see if it's a Lexus or Android "thing".
Yes that is what happened. I had 3 Galaxy note 3 phones since March and only the first one worked. Anything new that you've learned since the post? Thanks

No unfortunately. Multiple unpairing and pairing does nothing. Very frustrating since I drive a lot and messing with my phone while driving makes me uncomfortable.
