My brother just got a Tilt and he's having problems with his BT. He says, he can't even walk 5ft away from the headset without hearing static and interfereance. He believes it's a problem with the BT stack. Can this be replaced or modified for better performace?
BTW, I think he's using Dutty's 2nd to last touch ROM with radio 1.27.14.09
having the same problems with 2 tilts. Just got another phone and the same issues keep popping up. I cannot even use the BT with the phone on my hip! A butload of crackling, and interference. Makes any use of BT pointless, as it has more or less become line of sight use only (like IR).
This is my first post on here, but have been lurking for a little while. I have yet to do any mods to either phone (and gave the 1st one back), as I was hesitant to tweak a locked ATT phone, until I knew it didn't have any bugs.
I have to wonder if it has anything to do with ATT's bloatware, as every single HTC I've ever had, seems to have perfect BT reception, all the way out to the max range of BT. (35+ Ft)
forgot to mention, after testing various BT devices, and identical headsets, I can comfortably say that it MUST be a tilt specific issue. Maybe there's an HTC patch for it...... I will look around.
My BT on the HTC WWE rom is the same, in my car it takes about 2-3 sec.s to connect to the builtin bluetoothunit when some calls me up?
The phone and car are paired and everything - I have have never used a HTC branded WM smartphonephone/PDA with such a bad BT Stack.
Today I have installed a Nokia CK-100 Car Kit into my car. And so far it works great!
Pairing was a breeze, fully automatic. And everything seemd to be working out of the box. According to the people I've called for testing there is no echo and the sound quality is very good. Even with the volume very high, there was still no echo.
A2DP seemed to be working very good as well. Played some music to test, and was pleasantly surprised that also worked immediately. I never had an A2DP enabled carkit, so didn't know what to expect really. But the sound quality seemed really nice.
Haven't tried with navigation yet though. Would be nice to get instructions over the speakers as well. Will give this a try tomorrow and let you know.
After hearing about some echo problems etc with the CK-7W I was a bit worried. But fortunately everything worked right away: pairing, calling and A2DP.
So that's why I'm creating this thread, just to give a headsup that not every Nokia carkit in combination with Android (2.1) is a failure .
And perhaps others would like to share their experience as well with the CK-100 in combination with Android?
Hi,
I notice that you live in NL.
Any suggestion where to buy this to get the best price?
Thanks a lot.
Well, I got it 'via via' for 120 euros including professional build-in and active brodit cradle/holder in the car.
I guess you should be able to get the carkit for 100 euro's (see tweakers.net pricewatch).
Hello to all you out there.
I have been the proud owner of a desire for about eight months now. I just got a new car, Hyundai i30, and i am planning to put a BT carkit in it. Can anyone tell me about their experience with, preferebly, parrot carkits?
Tnx
I have a parrot MKi9200. Reasonably happy with it, less so with parrot support.
Sync works, iPod play works as advertised. Software is a bit buggy, but nothing problematic. I recommend you get a good installer for it, though
I also have a parrot MKi9200 and works very good. Also with the HTC Wildfire from my wife.
as mentioned get a good fitter or someone who knows what they're doing. the i30 isn't to bad to take apart to run cables.
hi, got a parrot ck3100, good sync, adr book and stuff to phone but not a2dp (so no music through it).
I also have the 3100, and it works like a charm with my desire (latest radio and cm7).
Syncing and connecting with phone are automatic, voice dial works and parrot is easily updateable with a bluetooth connection. And above all, voice quality is perfect
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've got the CK3100 and (as people have mentioned above) it works well with the desire.
A minor issue: GB roms appear to have a problem with BT where the phone doesn't immediately switch back to it's phone speaker when the connection to a headset/carkit is lost. I believe this is is GB issue. I've never experienced it before I started using GB roms.
Also, as people above have pointed out, it's probably worth getting a system that supports A2DP audio playback too. I'm using a separate Tunelink device for that.. and it works. But using two separate BT device to connect to the one Desire is a bit awkward.
I am using a PARROT MKi9000 with my Desire.
speech recognition is nearly perfect.
I use it for streaming music/audiobooks over the car-speakers, too without problems.
Installed it by myself without problems. Plug & Play.
Regards,
chrrh...

9200 is the best you can buy imo, does it all(at least all that you can expect from a car kit), and parrot releases updates frequently.

Hi there,
I use the MKi9100 in my Fiat Grande Punto and it works very well with my Desire.
I wouldn´t recommend to use the music playback function via bluetooth, though, as the sound quality kind of sucks...
Yeah, listening music throw bluetooth really killing me))
I should always choose between quality or battery life
Can someone please confirm that their BT Audio still locks up after about 1hr? Yesterday after installing GB i have noticed that my BT audio locked up and phone says it is connected by no audio comes out. This is the same behavior i have on the Froyo version. The only way to release or fix it is a reboot. I really need BT to work i hate holding phone to my ear. Anyway can someone please confirm that theirs is doing the same thing. I have BlueAnt Q2. I also have another BT and i do believe the froyo version did the same thing with the other BT so i am sure it will happen with the GB version.
PS: the other thing that does not work with the BT is uploading contacts on the BT. This worked fine with Froyo.
can anyone confirm their BT Audio is working for more than 1-3hrs?. I am re-testing and will keep updating on what i find out.
UPDATE: BT has been on for exactly 2hrs and still working. I am currently testing it with the Jabra BT3030. I will report back.
PS: i have made and received calls using this BT just incase.
I've found that for when my BT locks up I can disable it then re-enable it, but it takes between 5-10 tries of re-enabling it before it takes. Probably faster to reboot, but I've had an aversion to rebooting ever since using the G1.
Bluetooth seems to be working better for me with this update. It has not yet failed to pair with my cheap Sony head unit, both handsfree and A2DP.
A2DP in particular used to suck. More than half the time when I'd start my truck the music icon would be missing from the Sony's display, but so far this build's A2DP seems to work right every time just like with my N1.
Navigation instructions through my car stereo FTW!
UPDATE: it is now 6hrs and 32mins into this testing and so far it is holding steady with the Jabra BT3030. I will keep on testing and report back.
PS: I am really amazed how well optimized the battery now is with this GB build.

I am not about to rule that out just yet... Waiting to see what happens once i get past 8hrs. I will test Q2 next. so far i am really impressed with the battery optimization on this GB. Once i start freezing things or use one of those custom roms i am sure battery life will be even better.
PS: i wonder if they is any firmware update for the Q2?

I have a q2 and was connected yesterday for about 3 hours without issue. Was able to make and receive calls during that time without bluetooth disconnects. I did have a disconnect when I first updated (without rebooting), but after I rebooted my bluetooth worked fine.

Were you able to upload your contacts? Could you do me a favor and leave it on all day for as long as you can to see if it locks up or you get NO audio. I am about to begin the test for the Q2. So far the Jabra BT3030 seem to be working just fine. Now 8hrs and 20mins and no issue.
I have a Q2 also and I'm constantly turning off and on bluetooth and the headset itself. etc etc, reboot.. damn. I changed from a Jawbone ERA (which was having issues also)
Using the EB 105gb leak rom atm and was using the stock g2x w/faux uv kernel earlier.
I have a Q2 that locks up on EB Froyo, but I love EB Froyo and the only reason I would update to GB is to fix the BT problem with Q2. Please let us know if your Q2 test is positive.
My q2 would not transfer phone book and has lost audio a few times today. Its more stable than stock but the previous gb leak worked perfect for me. Let me also mention that Bluetooth works perfect on cm7, phone book also transfers as well. I see myself going back to cm7 soon mainly because of Bluetooth.

Which rom? Or just straight CM7 (which build too? or any/all?) ?
PS
I'm on a stinkin Wired Headset atm, so I'm quite interested. (0.0)b
Well guys, i can almost confirm it does lock up or looses audio. After over 9hrs testing the Jabra BT3030 i had NO issue with that BT. Charged phone up to 97%, reboot the phone and added the Q2. 1hr and 30min into testing it locked up or lost audio. This was after multiple calls and playing few songs just to make sure i haven't lost audio.... I don't know what to make of it. I don't know if it is the Q2 or our phone. One thing that i noticed and saw this on Froyo as well as other GB roms is that when you turn off the BT on the phone and try to re-enable it in like 2-3secs its like it is still trying to shutdown or something. After about 1-2mins it is back to normal....
As far as not being to transfer contacts to Q2 i can tell you that i spoke to BlueAnt tech support tonight and found out that if you have contacts on your sim card, it confuses the hell out of Q2. This wasn't the case for other roms that i tested or Froyo. I ended up taking my sim card out and guess what, it uploaded the contacts to Q2. Anyway i am thinking about taking my Q2 back to AT&T to see if i can exchange it for another one to see if that will solve this problem seeing that i bought it December of 2010.
Please i ask others that have the Q2 to leave BT and Q2 on for over 4-5hrs and see if it stays connected.

I dont need to wait 4hrs to tell you, my problem with it is exactly what you described.
On another note.
Least I only got my q2 a week ago, I can still return it to Bestbuy this weekend.
Dunno what else to get that has a2dp though. Other than jawbone(have/had them all) what headset on the market would anyone suggest or recommend? I had the Discover 975 worked great until I lost it, no a2dp though.. Had the Bose which was fun, but no a2dp either... any suggestions?
That and of course possibly switch to CM7.1 rc1? Except no A2dp.. which defeats the purpose of the whole paragraph above. haha.
What are you leaning toward, Cenwesi?

Well i know for sure the Jabra BT3030 works but does not have the phonebook feature so i am leaning towards it. I really think people with A2DP really need to test theirs and then we will know for sure if it is the Q2 or is the the phone or software. Very hard to tell right now.
Lol, looks like it just locked up again. This time more like 2hrs.

Hows the sound quality with the 3030? How well does the other person hear you from where it normally hangs if you wear it around your neck? Hows the noise cancellation and the quality of your connection to your phone?

Sound quality is fine and people here me just fine. Noice cancellation is fine.
I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.
Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.
I think it may be a bad phone.
I have and used the following bluetooth devices:
Plantronics 590A
Jawbone Icon and Era
BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.
Sony Ericsson MW600
And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)
All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.
Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.
*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...

Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.
I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.
I have a replacement on the way for bluetooth problems,people complained of a horrid background noise and the range was maybe 8 feet before major static would kick in

My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.
This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.

I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.
If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

No you will have to call T-Mobile and do a warranty exchange. I have no problems with BT on my phone at all.

a few threads about bluetooth problems
So whats the deal? Has anyone been able to fix the BT problems with this phone yet?
Can we flash a different BT.apk file or something?
Somebody by now should have some answers I would think.
My parrot system in my truck suck ass with this phone. Always cutting in and out.
Streaming audio is fine its the talking to people I'm have problems with.

I use this with my blueant s4 without an issue and experience no cutting in and out. However, I have been running MIUI and now running sense-o-maniac 3.5 and I have no issues.

horrid bluetooth sound quality
it seems a lot of people have been having issues with the bluetooth sound quality. i have mine paired with a motorola HF850 car kit, which has bluetooth v1.1, or something like that. i wonder if the problem is with backward compatibility, as people seem not to have as many issues with newer devices. would flashing a different radio potentiall help this problem? is it possible to downgrade the bluetooth version with a custom ROM? any other thoughts on ways to address this issue?
