JABRA BT200/XDAII Reconnect/Bonding problems

I have been using a JABRA BT200 Headset with my XDAII and have always had the same problem, once the BT200 has been paired with the XDAII it works fine but once I put the headset into it's charging cradle and then remove it and try to use it again it always loses it's bond, the only way I can get it to communicate with the XDAII again is to pair it again.
I don't know whether the problem lies with the BT200 or the XDAII
Does anyone else have this problem ???
Thanks
Ian Goulding

hey ian,
it was just recently that i was able to figure out the bt-xda2 bonding; thanks to some helpful chaps in the forum. in the process; i did some research within several topics and read something which may answer your query. when the headset is back in it's cradle; i believe it's "turned off" or is put into inactive mode. the forum message i read indicated that the bonding is lost once the headset is turned off; thus you have to bond again. yes, i have had similar experiences while figuring out the bonding issue. i just keep the bt200 i have out of the cradle; when the time comes to charge it i then holster it and repeat the bonding process once it's charged. i don't think it's a problem with neither devices; it's the default setting i believe. with luck probably the xda-developer guys will come up with a bug fix for this item. which could also include using bt for other than the phone function...like mp3....hint! hint!
cheers

I've installed Towa's GPS BT patch and the Jabra works perfect.

hey redbull,
what's the Towa's GPS BT patch and where can i find a link?
cheers mate
robson

Towa's gps patch has nothing to do with this...
I'm not sure what you are talking about, but Towa's patch will not solve the Jabra BT200 issue. The more important question to look at here is what version of BT200 you have. If you look on your Jabra BT200 right next to the microphone, there is a combination of letters and numbers, what does yours say? I think the problem has to do with issues in the firmware in the Jabra that were fixed in later versions.
It's usually 2 numbers and a letter on the boom to the Microphone.
I have a 47A and it does not work at all. Also tested a 48A and it doesn't work either.

mine's a 48b. works fine.

Cool, just so we are talking about the same thing, you can turn off the Jabra BT200, and turn it back on, and it still works with the phone? You can charge the headset in it's charger and pull it out and it still works? You can go out of range and then back in range and it still works? You can press the answer phone button on the headset when no call is in progress and then try to make a call and things still work?
Please try these various things and let me know.
I know that the A models are from 2002, and the B models are 2003. So it is possible if yours works with all these scenarios that they fixes or changed something in the 2003 models that allow them to work.
Thanks for your time,
LouisK

I recently purchased a BT 250 with nr. 44B and indeed it works with all the tests you described. (Don't need the BT GPS patch for that)
If only the advanced Headset Profile features would work with the MDA II I would be in heaven...........

Ok, it seems based on feedback I've gotten from several people that any Jabra Freespeak that has a "B" as the last part of it's version number will work correctly, but the "A" models do not. The "B" models according to Jabra are the most recent, and thought they don't admit it, there must have been a change in the firmware that allows the "B" units to work correctly with an XDA2/MDA2/i-Mate that the "A" units don't support.
LouisK

I have a "B" on mine and the same problem of rebonding when Jabra is shut off. I experimented by turning off bluetooth on the i-mate and it still worked. Anyone have ideas of a good headset that will not need rebonding?

I have problems with mine too and its a 16B. Turn the BT headset off and its rebond time again.....

48B works fine for me... can't everyone else just use TOWA's patch... that fixed the problem for others

16B is no good. I've been told that minumum needed is 19B. Below 19B is bluetooth 'handsfree' not 'headset'.

Towa's patch has nothing to do with this. It will not help in this situation. It only applies to Bluetooth Serial Profile, of which the Jabra has none. I have talked to Towa via email to confirm this. For those that installed Towa's patch and said it works, more than likely they didn't have the problem anyway because of the version of Jabra they had.

BT jabra 200/plantronic M3000
Jabra is model 45B, - no nead to repair, Plantronics M3000, no need to repair, but sometimes fails to answer call properly.

Hi 2U all,
I have just purchased a BT200 off Ebay, the number on the boom is 20B. No problems works well , no rebonding problems. Just one wish, it would work with voice. But I will keep praying!

EMAIL FROM JABRA RE-Bonding Problems with XDA-II
:roll: :roll:
Dear Ian,
Thank you for your e-mail and please accept our apologies for the delay in reply.
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing problems using your JABRA BT200 headset in conjunction with your O2 XDA II.
However, having tested the JABRA BT200 headset with the XDA II, we have encountered the following problems.
When completed charging the headset you will need to synchronise the Headset and the Audio Gateway in your XDA II.
Please follow the steps below:
Select Bluetooth menu> Select Off> Select OK (BT is now disconnected)
Return to desktop (Today view)> Disable BT HS mode> Enable BT HS mode (User
to be prompted to turn On BT radio)>Select OK
Enter BT menu> Select On> Select OK (The XDA II returns to the "Today" view
and will try to synchronise with the HS again.
Check connection by establishing an outgoing call. If no sync - you will need
to re-pair the two devices)
We hope this will solve your problem for you. If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you for contacting JABRA Customer Service, Europe

Seems to me that without actually saying it, JABRA think that the fault lies with the XDA-II!

Parrot CK3100 BT carkit and WM6 problems

Ever since I upgraded my M700 to WM6 I have had no end of problems using my Parrot Ck3100 bluetooth carkit and my phone.
It worked perfectly with WM5 but I have since upgraded with various versions of WM6 from AXL and Mary's version. I've also tried various different radio ROMs up to the latest 1.50.08.11 but no difference. These are the problems I have been experiencing:
1, Intermittent loss of link between phone and Parrot.
2, Call not routed through car speakers even though BT is connected.
3, Sometimes the audio is lost completely as the phone thinks it has diverted it to the car speakers, when it hasn't and mutes the phone. Other times the music note with the line through it (mute?) is on during a call.
4, Calls dialled through Parrot dial, but voice goes through phone.
5, Parrot reboots itself after a call.
Although since uprgading to WM6 I now have network name, signal strength and battery level on the Parrot, it's main usability has become very frustrating as it only seems to work as advertised 25% of the time. I have checked the firmware on the Parrot and it has the latest version and it still works perfectly with my friends' Sony Erricson, so I know it's not a problem with the Parrot, only WM6.
I have also tried JETware BT stack, but it didn't make any difference, the same problems persisted.

Have exactly the same problems... WM5 worked perfectly with car kit, but since ROM flash update to WM6 never worked the same way then...
Perhaps a flash update to parrot car kit solves the problem...
Any new issue after this?

I've given up on wm6 at the mo. I use a parrot mini and have the same problem with all the wm6 roms I've tried. Have gone back to wm5 and no problems.

I had same problem
last sunday I had the unlucky idea to update my CK3100 ; until that it worked perfectly with my HTC p3600 with WM6.
After a short period , I found a solution installing JETware BT HFP Extension 1.31; now everythingh is perfect , contacts are well syncronized , every indication is ok , etc. any residual prblem !!!

I have a new Sprint 6800 -Mogul (ROM 2.09.651.3) with WM6 (pro CE OS 5.2.1238) factory load . I am trying to get it to work a Bluetooth car kit.
Originally tried a Motorla HF850 and had dropout problems (paired and connected great then randomly dropped the connection.
Just bought a Parrot CK3100 (firmware version 4.16c) and it is experiencing exactly the same problems as described by abeesley (thread item #1).
Scattered throughout various blogs is the same theme, this phone has bluetooth issues but there is no consensus of where the problem is or what to do to fix it.
Does anyone know of a fix?
If not who needs to be chased, Sprint, HTC, Microsoft, Parrot
This is getting very frustrating
Thanks

i deleted all pairing from both sides
paired the device with parot
name appeared
but phone both and call register didn't

I have just had the 3200LS installed into my car and am having similiar problems. Most notibly, whenever the phone rings and i press the answer button on the parrot, it disconnects the bluetooth and then i cant hear anything. It does this every single time, but works fine (well 80%) when i dial out from the parrot.

With my Motorola HF850, I have the same issue referring the route to the CK speaker when answering a call. I tried to install all the software/Radio ROM...no way! MY P3600 WM6 does not want to work properly...while no issues running WM5

I have the same problem with the Parrot minikit and HTC TOUCH
Hi all,
I just bought the Parrot minikit, and I am facing the same problems with the HTC TOUCH.
The minikit is paired perfectly, when I dial a number from the TOUCH, the sound of the call remains on the TOUCH, only when pressing the answer button in the minikit it sometimes transfers the call to the minikit.
I opened a SUPPORT case to Parrot and they are saying:
"We have fully tested the HTC Touch in France with our Minikit and we did not see any impediments. "
So I emailed them back with allot of links describing the problem.
Good luck to us all

The issue is for sure within the new Bluetooth stack in the WM6...it weould be great if we could roll back to the WM5 one...

Hey man,
I had all the trouble described above, and i did a lot of things (tried another wm6 rom, for ex.) and never had problems since.
Try to:
1st - remove pairing bluetooth devices both on phone and Parrot
2nd - pair again both
3rd - If still having problems, try a different wm6 rom or install the JetWare BT extension (don't forget to repeat steps 1st-2nd, after install/update)
This should work.

HTC Cruise don’t work with my Bluetooth carkit (parrot).

Hi There,
I have a HTC Cruise (dutch) and a Parrot 3200 LS-Color bluetooth carkit.
My carkit sees my HTC and I can sync my address book but when I receive a call ore when I want to call it doesn’t work right. I have to put the telephone to my ear again. The speakers en mic in my car don’t work.
Can any one help?
Thanks,
marco

update your carkit
Are you sure that you are on the best firmware for your car kit?
I have a diffrent parrot car kit (mk6000), and all my pb was solved by: going to the last parrot firmware, and after updating my phone to WM6.1 (not sure that this second is necessary or not)

I have a Parrot CK 3100
Version 4.16
I have also HTC TC with WM6 original
Every think work fine

You can try the jetware bluetooth extension.

My Parrot works fine with Polaris

Parrot 3100 working fine with Polaris here too.

I had posted my experiences with the new firmware update here:
http://www.parrot.com/forums/usa/viewtopic.php?id=1487
Hope that this helps

imo the parrot with the color screen is a waist of money, ck3100 is also more supported ! My polaris works flawlessy with my ck3100.

My Polaris works near fine with the CK3100, except the disturbing phantom call when your last call was not picked up...
The other minor problem is that the different numbers of one contact are shown separated (/H /W /M...) Does anybody know if it possible to show all together?

Parrot have a 4.17 update out.Try flashing your ck3100.

There is a prog on Parrot's website the creates a vCard of all your contacts in outlook this file is then sent to the CK3100 from your phone and all of you contacts are saved in the bluetooth kit.
I don't think the phone auto syncs these contacts though

Hi Guys,
I don't want to be rude, but the thread starter asks for a solution to his problem not a list of parrots which do work with the touch cruise. Not really helpful according to me :s.
Futhermore, I am also having a lot of problems with the Touch Cruise with the Parrot 3200LS Color. I installed the jetware bluetooth extension, which solved 99% of my problems.
The 1% left is disconnecting a phone call. If I push the red button on the Parrot device, the call is not disconnected. I have to push the red button on my phone to end the call, but still the 3200LS thinks the call is still going on. I have to pull the plug to reset the 3200 LS. I already flashed the parrot with the latest firmware.
Anyone any useful pointers?

Parrot and TC
Hi there!
I don't know about you guys, but for me it's simple, for HTC touch, and for TC with my parrot CK v3.13 here's what i do:
- to be shore, you reset your parrot (red + green buttons, then you hear "please pair device", and only with first pairing),
- turn on your TC's BT, go to settings/BT, Add new device (Mode - visible), and when parrot asks for code, it's 1234, as i recall.
- now you are paired, and when you enter in your car only thing you have to do is to turn on TC's BT, pairing will be authomatic.
this works for me, without any problems...
Hope this helps
Bye

Polaris BT problem with Renault Laguna

Hi,
When using the Polaris with standard Dutch ROM in a Renault Laguna with built-in carkit system, the sound is very crappy. The paring goes fine, but the sound in the car is crap. Moreover, the other side cannot even hear my voice at all. I apllied the 2 hotfixes from HTC e-club, but that didn't help. Is it possible to change the bluetooth stack from MS to Widcomm or something, or is there any other solution?
Any help is surely appreciated!
Wouter

I had the same problem with my Mondeo (2008). I changed rom to WWE 6.1 (PdaViet V23 - at this moment) and problems disappeared. Perfect reception (both ways) and also all contacts visble through car touch screen..

Thanks a lot for your reply. Good to know that that's an option. I'll keep it in mind. However, I'm kind of hoping for a solution that doesn't require using another ROM, for warranty reasons...

The problem was finally solved by a software update on the car, done by the local renault dealer.

Nokia CK-7W with Diamond, it works!

Well, this is not really a question or problem. But just a headsup that the Diamond works just fine with my Nokia CK-7W.
However it would also be nice to hear from you guys (and girls) as well, since I can't imagine I'm the only one with succes!
You might wonder "Why the hell do you post this?!". Well, that's simple because when I wanted to find out whether that Nokia carkit would work together with the Diamond I coulnd't find anything.
And since my experiences with Nokia carkits and HTC phones weren't all that good (read: BAD, lots of echo and weird connection problems) I was pretty anxious to give this a try.
After testing it on another CK-7W, which was already built in a car, I figured it worked perfectly so I took the plunge and got one for my car.
(Before you ask, why no parrot or other brand? I was able to get my hands on this one really cheap.)
The only problem I got was the first time I wanted to pair the device. Every time after entering the 4 digit passcode I got a message saying the passcode was incorrect. Instantly, not even trying to connect. After leaving it all alone for 10-15 minutes and I tried to connect again it suddenly worked without any problems. And it's still working with no issues at all.
ROM I use:
SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5
OS Version: CE 5.2.20755 (Build 20755 AKU 1.4.0)
Base ROM Version: 1.93.405.1 UK WWE
So.. more succes stories here? Or problems?

Hi
I have the same setup, Nokia CK-7W in my volvo s60 connected to my MDA Compact IV running swiftbldade 7.5.
It all works perfect.
I even have MS Voice command setup with it and it annonuces incoming callers and messages perfectly and voice dialling works perfect as well.
Call quality is very good as well.

Hey - I've got my CK-7W working fine too, except I'd like to also enable wireless stereo... but the option doesn't seem to exist... I bought the CK-7W off a friend, and he was able to use wireless stereo, but I cn't - has anyone else had any success...?
Relly something I want for using TomTom, etc...

Hi i have CK-7W car kit and I am having problems getting my Diamond to pair can you please advise how you guys paired your ones?

Can't say anything more than I just used the normal way to pair, go to bluetooth settings, search for device and select the carkit + enter correct passcode.
I did however have some problems in the beginning. It would find the carkit but after entering the passcode it said pairing failed.
But when I tried later again it went without a problem, and it paired everytime without a problem ever since.
I dont think the ck-7w supports stereo audio. There are however apps that can route the audio over the carkit. BTAudio is one called if I remember correctly. That way you can have the tomtom over the carkit, but quality isn't that good really.
And some say that using that audio routing also gives 'problems' sometimes, as in it sometimes seems like there is audio (e.g. the car radio is muted) but you don't hear anything for a few secs. So that can be quite annoying.

hmmm??? My diamond wont even pick up the car kit during the search!

I had some problems pairing in the first place...
Don't try to search for the car-kit using the phone, just have your Diamond on BT visible to others, and the car-kit will try to connect automatically... I think you might need to hold the button on the car-kit down for like 10 seconds for it to search, but definately let the kit find the phone, not the other way around...

I fitted one of these to my brother in law's car the other day. Tested it with my diamond, but i expected it to be cross compatible.

Bit offtopic, but what's the advantage compared with a just as pricy parrot system?

Hi Y'all,
I am using my Diamond with the nokia CK-7W and it works fine as well. Paired up without much fuss....

Eh.. none? I find the quality better compared to my old ck3300 parrot carkit. However, this one doesnt have a small lcd display or something. Not that I missed the lcd screen though, but sure was a nice feature.
Best thing about the parrot was that it's possible to put a new firmware on it. Could make them a little bit more 'future-proof'.

Nokia CK-7W with HTC Touch Diamond2, VITO VoiceDialer
Pairing the device was easy. In coming calls are working. Push on the carkit button and I can answer the call.
The problem that I have is that I can't do a voice call. If I push on the carkit button nothing happens. I would have expected that the VoiceDialer app would be started and I could make a voice call. The VoiceDialer app works without bluetooth.
Has anyone an idea how I get voice dialing working?
Remark:
With my pervious cell phone Motorola L6 was this possible. Pushed on the carkitt button, wait on the beep, say the name, when recognized it repeats the name and the number was dialed by the phone.
