Hi Guys
Sorry if this is in the wrong area ... i think its correct?
I recently upgraded(?) to XP64 pro and ever since my Blueangel keeps connecting and disconnecting when plugged into its USB cradle.
I hear the "connect" beep and see it appear in Device Manager. I then hear the "Disconnect" beep after a random (usualy short) amount of time, maybe 2/3/4 seconds and its vanished from Device Manager. A couple of seconds later it will then reconnect again..... rinse, repeat
This was working fine before the XP 64 upgrade so I can only imagine its related to that and the hardware is all OK.
(if you need/want any more details from the phone then you will need to tell me how to get them )
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
ActiveSync works fine for me under xp64 so that's not the problem. I recall having the same problem with the BA and I think doing a hard reset on the phone and clearing out the partnership on the computer to force a new partnership did the trick. I don't recall going so far as to uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I can try a reset on the phone of course, certainly won't hurt! Sadly though, I don't even have Active Sync installed yet so I can't really see how it will help.
Im just trying to see the phone as a USB storage device first :?
I always found my XDA2 would keep disconnecting & reconnecting if I tried to switch it off in the cradle. Now I just leave it on and hold down the power button to turn off the backlight.
Interesting little problem I discovered when trying to reflash with Dutty's latest ROM.
- I connect via USB and I do not get the standard USB 'ding' noise when I plug in.
- I checked system hardware properties, all of my USB drivers are working and no yellow flags.
- Active SYNC is configured just as it was when I first synced my phone a month ago to my PC
- I hard reset my tilt a few times with no solution.
I tried a few different computers and they all displayed the above problem.
The TILT charges fine when connected to my PC so I know its not a hardware issue...I did notice that the active sync icon under my connection manager was constantly grayed out and even after enabling it remained gray, its been a while since i synced with my PC and I do not remember if it only turns green only in the process of syncing or not...
Im pretty stumped on this one any ideas?
Settings >>> Connections >>> USB to PC >>> Deselect check box for Enable advanced network functionality
This sounds strange, but do you have multiple network cards in your computer? If I disable my primary network connection and enable the dirty connection my tilt wont connect to ActiveSync and the icon goes gray. As soon as I switch back it works again. It had me stumped for the longest time.
Could be related, maybe not.
check your Firewall Settings.. (if you have one). If you do, then i recommend that you delete the entry for activeysync, rapimgr.exe and add the rule.. i get this once in a while
man... turned out to be the USB port on the phone, everything looks normal but upon further inspection it appeared that the 3rd pin was slightly bent towards the back of the connector. It was a major pain in the butt gently bending it back without damaging the connector... what a headache!!
How did it get bent in the first place??? Thats the question
Many thanks for the tip. I had the same problem with my TyTN (charged over cable, synced only when using a 3rd party cradle) even though I took pretty good care of it. It was bent in the same direction as the other similar threads suggest, but the only thing that helped me was bending backwards the 3rd pin. It's a shame that I damaged the connector in process, but that's better than not being able to properly sync the bloody expensive device that already cant play video and lags in camera/menus
I always thought iPaq's were badly engineered with 2210's falling apart but is seems that HTC outperformed them here. At least HP didnt try to save a few cents on the sync/charge port. Way to go HTC.
I am running mfrazzz's XM6r5 on my 8125 (AS4.5). Everything has been performing perfectly until a few days ago I noticed whenever I connect USB to my computer, Activesync fires, and then as soon as it is complete, it syncs again continuously.
I changed the registry to only sync manually, and even that did not fix the problem.
If I stop the sync it will lie idle for a few minutes, but then once it starts to sync again, the same behavior occurs.
Any ideas would be appreciated
update to issue
Just to eliminate as many variables as possible, I hard reset back to button ROM and connected to the USB cable. I had the same symptom of continual active syncs. Could this be a hardware issue - bad USB connector on my 8125? I tried a different USB cable also same result....
Help!!
same thing happens to me-I just have to keep closing it.Battery last less than a day
I think my ipaq 3660 is dead, but I hope not, I was hoping to try and put linux on it. Here's the scenario, I bought it from a guy who says it was working till a rom upgrade went wrong (power cut ).It appears to charge up OK, with the light eventually going solid. Active sync finds it and identifies it correctly but can't connect, advising me to turn off usb connections to stop repeated attempts to connect.A hard reset results in a screen of black and green vertical lines with 2 rectangular boxes near the top which look like text boxes, but with no text.I have download a rom update from HP, but of course it won't install without active sync connecting.Does anyone have any ideas how to save it? I have succesfully upgraded my xda2 a number of times (now ce 6.1) so I have a limited ability.
Thanks in advance
I got some more info from handhelds.org, if I press and hold joypad button then press reset, I get a picture of a parrot, this I think is bootloader mode? It seems if I get this far perhaps all is not lost, it appears this is not uncommon with this ipaq. Unfortunately the solution seems to be to connect to a pc with a serial cable to copy over needed files, but my cradle is only usb, and I'm reluctant to spend anymore on what could still be a lost cause.
Any ideas?
I have been experiencing issues connecting to devices over Bluetooth. Sometimes it just works, other times it doesn't work at all, and some times it kinda works but not right.
All of these issues are resolved by restarting the phone, but that isn't a solution because the issue comes back.
3 Devices I have been having issues with
1. S Pen - Sometimes it won't connect to the phone, I get an "S-Pen Missing" message and it will not connect. If I t ry to connect to it manually via nRF Connect (The Nordic Semiconductors Bluetooth App) it tells me that the BLE device has a GATT error. It happens semi-randomly but I can always make it happen by doing #2
2. Car Stereo - This is the weird one, it will connect and play music, but it will not do "calls" if I connect to Discord it won't recognise the car as a Bluetooth device it can route to.
3. Raspberry Pi - This one it appears it will connect to ONCE, and then after a disconnect it will not connect again.
Again, each of these can be fixed by restarting the device, but they happen again after a while. The pen & RPi use BLE, I don't know what the car uses for calls.
Turn off global power management completely in Device Care.
Network reset, reboot and clear system cache from the boot menu.
Ok, I've done a network reset, and cleared the cache partition. I checked Device Care for something like global power management, and I couldn't find anything. Most of the pwm settings are off except the "optomise daily" setting.
I'll let you know later if I have the same issue again.
These, this is a N10+ running on Pie.
To check if you have disabled global power go to Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is enable.

Are those the only three devices you connect via BT? What other apps do you use that need to use BT (i.e. Galaxy Wear, Apple Music, etc.).
You mentioned "Nordic Semiconductors Bluetooth App." I looked it up. Why do you need a third party generic BLE connecting app? It seems to me that could be the problem. You shouldn't need a third-party app to connect your BLE devices. The S22U's native pairing will work with any BT device that adheres to BT standards.
Try uninstalling the nRF Connect app and see what happens.
The only other Bluetooth devices I have are other in-house hardware, running on SiliconLabs BGM13P chips or NRF52840 chips...
The NRF app isn't a replacement for your bluetooth pairing app, its a debugging app... it can connect to BLE devices and show their GATT profiles, update devices that have Nordic's OTA update code and copy a devices GATT profile to act as a BLE Server.
We use it for testing and debugging.

Ok. I recommend uninstalling nRF Connect anyway. If anything, to rule out the app. How old is your car and the Raspberry Pi? Even though BT 5.2 is backwards compatible, sometimes older BT devices won't work with newer devices. That doesn't account for the S Pen issue though.
I uninstalled nRF connect, and changed all the settings you both recommended. Exactly the same behaviour when I went to leave work. My car stereo would do music but not calls, then when I restarted my phone, it worked. Then when I got home, my S Pen would not connect to my phone, then I restarted my phone and it worked.
Its not a problem of not being compatible, its a problem of something stops working.
Please also note that these devices worked fine together in the past. I am concered that it is either a change made by an update or a Bluetooth chip that is faulty....
OP- Have you debloated at all and if so maybe you've removed something relevant that might be causing these issues?
No, stock image, no OS modification beyond the things that Samsung offers (GoodLock and Stock customisation)
I have our in-house apps for interacting with our equipment (over Bluetooth) installed, but #1 they shouldn't affect anything if they are not open and #2 they don't do this to ANY of our other test equipment.
I would just like to say, that I appreciate the assistance that you are all offering! I have used many forums over the years when looking for support on things and I rarely find a place that is more ready to try and help than XDA forums!

I've seen the issue of the spen disconnecting but only a couple of times and the issue worked itself out within a couple of minutes with me not having to do anything.
I've also have had a couple of wonky issues when connecting a new Samsung phone to my car. I've narrowed down my issue to the fact that when I transfer my data & settings via Samsung smart switch, it includes the details of my Bluetooth pairings. To fix it, I have to go in and delete my Bluetooth phone settings from the car and from my phone and re-pair them.

As cool as I think Smart-Switch is as a program, I actually never use it when moving from one phone to another. The junk that Google drags with me from one phone to the next is already too much, I like to use a new device as a chance to do some housecleaning. So no old-data oddities here.

Hmmm.. Ok. You're probably right about the suspect causes. I know there is a code you can dial to get into diagnostic mode, I just don't know what it is.
The only other option you can try (as a last resort) is to factory reset it. If it is update caused, a factory reset MAY fix it. If you take it to a service center, send it in for repairs, or do a warranty replacement, they're going to factory reset it, or have you reset it.
have you tried running diagnostics in device care ?
or check with this dc
android
Bluetooth test*#*#232331#*#*
samsung
Bluetooth Test Mode*#232331#
I still haven't done a factory reset, but I continue to have the issue.
I have run the BT Test in device care, it always reports good.
I tried the codes, neither of them work as the first one is for vanilla android and the second is for older versions of Samsung firmware.
I've tried completely unpairing from the car radio and re-pairing, disconnecting and connecting from the other device to no avail.

I'm not entirely sold on the idea that it is a hardware fault. It could be a hardware limitation; meaning you cannot connect to more than a certain number of devices simultaneously. I don't know how many BT devices you can connect to at once. I know at least two simultaneous connections (I've only had two simultaneous connections at a time).
You said you have other BT devices in your house other than those three your having issues with. How many are there? How many are you connected to at any given moment?
Is it possible that you have too many simultaneous connections?
When you try to connect to your car.. Did you check under BT connection (your vehicle) to make sure both audio and calls are checked..

Yes, and I've disconnected, reconnected and even unpaired and re-paired the phone to the car.

Unless having multiple connections causes the BT to fail completely, no. Even after turning the car off and walking away, it still will not connect to the S Pen. The only BT devices I use with that phone regularly are:
S Pen, Car (Music & Calls)
At work I develop devices that use Bluetooth and I sometimes connect to them, but only ever one at a time.
