Hi, just bought a new car equipped with kenwood kbd bt6544u car stereo.
I succesfully connect my diamond with, but all my contacts doesn't remain on the radio after downloading and I have to resync everytime I switch off the radio, except for the quick call saved presets. I wonder if this is the normal behaviour or something is wrong. Can someone explain me how is the kenwood logic so maybe I understand how to use it properly? tks in advance brgds
hi,
I'm using my diamond with a kenwood KDC-BT8044U and I also need to sync every time but I think that this is normal... I've never seen a car stereo equipment which saves the contacts in a permanent storage... it doesn't need a lot of time and it works automatically, so...
regards
ps. If you get it work let me know how
Maybe there's a logic behind: if you connect with different phones you'll mess up all the contacts so maybe this way is better. Just this is not clear to me: when I get into the car the car bt connects but does anything, AFTER a phone call the contacts are downloaded (and sometimes hangs on downloading...). Is this also for you?
best regards

I have the KDC-BT8044U and I don't have this problem, as soon as it connects the contacts are automatically downloaded.
I have another problem, perhaps you can help me, the downloading from my HTC Touch HD WM 6.5 EnergyROM (14.06.09) takes extremely long for me (approx 5min30sec). I find it very annoying because during this time I can not make any calls.
How long does it take with your phones? I tried with a iPhone of my friends and it only took a few seconds.
Why is this taking so long for me with only 78 contacts?
Please help
well, I noticed that if I have the phone on (I mean screen on) when I connect, the download starts immediately, otherwise it starts after minutes and is extremely slow... Download time is about 60 secs, I had longer download time (also hangs) when I had a specific contact on my phonebook. After removing it problem solved... I found the "guilty" because activesync was unable to sync the specific contact. Hope it helps!
Hi, I also have a Touch HD and a bt-8044u. I can't seem to answer calls or dial calls from my head unit. Does anyone else have this problem?
My headunit also downloads each time it is connected!

yes I have the same problem, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554785
go to this post, and tell what ROM you are exactly using, perhaps, if we are 2 we can get more help
I upgraded to BsB wm6.5 rom one week ago and since then all is smooth as silk: immediate connection, fast download, no more troubles!
I also use htc touch HD on BT8044U, but i can't sync sms, anyone can do this?

nope, it's not available for the touch hd
Touch Diamond & Kenwood DNX7240BT
Initially had problems with these, sorted now.
Upgraded bluetooth (from Kenwood's site) but didn't help.
Next I erased pictures attached to phonebook entries and deleted ALL call records (these things store thousands of calls made, received or missed.) Now, it only takes about 6 seconds to show the entire phonebook is present on screen.
Shame the SMS won't work, yet. maybe in the future.
Hi all,
I have been looking at buying this head unit, and it would be great if you could answer the following:
I listen to a lot of audio books and would like to know that if you are listening to a track and switch the radio off, does the radio remember the track you were last listening to AND the position within the track.
It would be very annoying if the system flipped to the beginning of the track everytime....
Also does the headunit support streaming via bluetooth I have a TYTN II.
Thanks in advance....
When listening to music on a cd, playback resumes from precisely where it was prior to switching the ignition off.
I've never tried an audio book though so can't comment, sorry.
Audio streaming works fine over bluetooth (A2DP,?)from my Diamond.
H.T.H.
same problem here:
touch hd (xt grid evo 1.7)
kenwood 8044u
after every HF Connect the download starts.
The download needs about 5min then...
I have 95 contacts with ~150 numbers in my contactlist
No pictures, and all numbers as +49 123 456789
is there anything to get the download faster?
thx
Yes.
Delete all call records (in, out and missed) and text messages.
Mine had over two years worth of records at one time !
Whichever tweaking programme you use, set up a maximum list of 10 calls missed, made and received. This will prevent the list building up again. (I use 'Advanced Config' on my Diamond for this.)
H.T.H.
that's it
just deleted the history and then download nedds about 15sec now
Thx!
Is there an registry entry to set the number of saved entries?
I wish to diasble that at all for privacy reasons...
You're welcome, glad it worked for you.
Although there will be a way to limit the entries in the registry, I don't know it, sorry. If you download 'Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool' (available in this forum), it can do that and loads of other useful settings too.
I also set my phone to display only its internal phone book and not the sim contacts, which halves the number transferred to the Kenwood. This was also done from within the 'Advanced Config.' tool.
For best results, alter the number of entries for SMS messages, too. (again dead easy with the 'Advanced Config.' tool.)
My TD2 connects, syncs, but I can't hang up or establish a call by myself. Answering calls works fine using the control knob. Any suggestions?
HoPi,
I don't think your phone is supported, yet.
See, http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/bt/index.php for a compatibility list.
Keep an eye out for updates. When I first bought my headunit, there were 3 downloadable updates within the first few weeks.
HTH
Whoops, haven't seen that list. I just checked the local (german) version which only offers a PDF file (with 2 HTC devices mentioned). Seems like I can be glad that the phone works half-way. Thanks!
So I have a Blackstone and a Kenwood KDC BT 8044U with Parrot Unit included.
I can download the contacts to the head unit and see all the contacts.
But I can not call a contact, when I choose a contact, nothing happens.
I tested following things:
- tested Another Phone (SE K750i) and it worked perfectly, so it's not the kendwood
- tried with only one dummy contact, it did not work, same Problem, so it's not the contacts
- I can choose a contact directly on the phone, and speak over the handsfree
- I tried different ROMs, with WM 6.1 and 6.5 (dutty, laurentius, ENERGY,...) same Problem
- last ROM that was working was a ENERGYROM 6.5 from april I think, but I can't find it anymore
I read something of this thing called "Radio", could it be something with that? Or this Rilphone.dll?
As you can see I tried and tested a lot, a lot of work, but I don't know what to do more.
Could you pleaaaaassseee help me?
Thank you
David

I just got a Kenwood DDX8024BT headunit at the weekend with built in Parrot bluetooth and have the same problem. I can select contacts from the phonebook option and see the number on screen but clicking the dial button does nothing. If I use the direct dial option it works but takes a long while to start dialling. Also, the phonebook download takes a while and it seems to disconnect the bluetooth if I end a call. Seems to work fine when I have my work phone connected though (a rubbish old Nokia).
I've tried this using Dutty R12 and Dutty R14. I've only had it in since Saturday though so haven't had time to have a proper play around (too busy playing with the DVD and iPod side of it )
Anyone here using their DHD with a Parrot CK3100 bluetooth carkit?
When making or receiving a call, 90% of the times the process com.android.phone crashes at the end of the call. Then my network connection is lost briefly and restored after a while. The BT connection is also lost and needs to be reconnected manually. This only happens when connected with the Parrot, not when calling normally or over my Jawbone BT headset.
Is anyone experiencing the same or using a Parrot CK3100 without problems?
Have you done the last two updates ? I had issues before but since updated no issues
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You mean the DHD OTA updates? I installed everything. Or do you mean parrot updates?
The dhd updates , I would also make sure the parrot updates are done also.
Silly question but you don't use a task killer do you ? Sometimes a task killer stops the blue tooth session .
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Ok, I'll look info updating my parrot software, if possible. I don't use a task killer and use standard Htc rom.
Well, I updated my parrot to the latest firmware with the updatetool. The problem still exists :-(
Strange mine works perfect ..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I use the same model without problem. Have you tried to unpaid the device and repair?
I had to repair, cause all pairings were gone from the parrot.
So you have the same ck3100?
Do you have any contacts with picture that you can call with the parrot without problems? I'm wondering if those pictures are the culprit.

I don't use pictures.
I've tried a couple dozens of phone calls to contacts with and without picture. I can confirm the com.android.phone process only crashes when calling a contact with picture through the Parrot. :-(

Ok,I'll try to add a picture to one of my contacts and test and let you know. How do you know that this process crashes? seen on display or do you use any logging app?
I photographed my wife and called her from my car 2-3 times without any problems. I tried to let her end the call 1st then I did and then I initiated the call from Parrot. No problems similar to what you describe.
How did you add your photo's? maybe the picture format causes the problem? If you haven't done so, why don't you try what I did and compare (take photo from camera and test).
Also, do you use google contacts or phone contacts. If you have seen one of my posts, I had problems when sync with google. So , try also to compare a phone contact with picture and a google contact with picture. I think that this is the only way to reach a conclusion as I did with the ringtones and blocked callers issue.
Now, unless you used some special app to see that process, I didn't see anything strange. Tell me if there's any place to look for any errors.
My Parrot FW is 4.23_C
Hi, Thanks for looking into it so extensively!
Just some more info:
- all my contacts are Google, I like the syncing to gmail. I'll try with phone contacts to see if that works out.
- I have contacts with pictures from my previous phone, from my Fuji finepix camera and a contact with a picture that comes automatically from Facebook. I'll try to add one with the HD's camera.
- the error message pops up on the screen, you can't miss it. Then the gsm signal is briefly lost and so is the BT connection.
I'll report back!
Hello,
I've the same problem with my Desire. Also an Downgrade to 4.21 of the CK3100 hasn't brought a solution. But the Parrot-Support wrote me that there is a general Problem with Froyo-phones, so I'm looking forward to that a new firmware will come, hopefully, soon...
Thanks for reporting that. I'll write to Parrot support too.
Well, Parrot support has been great so far. They have made me try a couple of different ways of pairing my device with the Parrot. In the end, my problem is solved my using a special paring mode. I go to Advance settings > Pair phone > and choose for the "Auto-pair no sync" option. No more crashing of the phone process on my Desire HD since.
Basically, the problem wasn't caused by the phone call, but by the syncing of the contacts between the DHD and the Parrot. Everytime syncing starts in the background, the process would crash. Presumably this is caused by having contacts with pictures.
The downside is that my phonebook isn't synced anymore with the Parrot (with the Auto-pair no sync option). But hey, I'd never call anyone from the Parrot phone book anyway, I always use the phone to start a call. So that's no big deal.
Maybe, removing all contact pictures would solve the problem too, but I'm not willing to try that.
In the whole process, I upgraded my Parrot CK3100 firmware from v4.17 to v4.23, but that's causing different problems now. I'm still waiting for Parrot support to send me 4.17 back, so I can downgrade.
Thanks for the update.
No sync solved the problem for me too. I tried to send the contacts to the parrot manuelly and then started a phone call from the car kit. The contact has a picture (which I didn't sync with the parrot) and the phone process didn't crashed!
Im also using a DHD + CK3100 no problems so far with no ROM.
Dunno the Softwareversion of the CK3100.

That should indeed work. It's the continuous auto syncing that causes the crashes. A one time manual sync of contacts after pairing shouldn't cause any problems later on.
Hi all,
I just bought the Kenwood KDC-BT50U for my car. I plan to use it with my HTC Desire via Bluetooth, mainly to play my mp3s. It paired and plays mp3s just fine, but it does not show the track names on the device and I cant skip tracks. It also does not sync my contact names from the phonebook, except for the call history.
Did anyone get it to work, and if yes with which firmware? the kenwood website sucks and they do not list the htc desire on their firmware update pages..so I have no idea which one to get...any help would be great!
I've got a BT60U and a Desire and it works all fine - it didnt in the beginning though.
My problems were that there was no adressbook sync and that I got random disconnects while driving.
But at some point it just started working. I remember that it was around when I started rooting (the first hacked 2.2 on the Desire) and then later the first AOSP roms. Dont know what made the deal for me but might be a hint.
At some point I also did a complete reset of the headunit.
I know it is a bit vague but I'm running fine with the BT60U (which got the same BT kit as yours) and my rooted Desire running DeFrost 6.1 (but also with OpenDesire and MIUI, don't know about Sense Roms though)
EDIT: forgot to mention: It is normal that the head unit doesn't show track titles etc but the forward/play/pause keys should be working...
What you can try is that you delete your phone from the BT50U's Bluetooth menu (at least mine got an option saying 'Delete BT Device') and deleting your Kenwood on your phone to start it from scratch again.
Hi.
Which number firmware of bluetooth unit is it?
I had the V 3.11.0 but the last is the V 3.12.0: this add the only forward/play/pause keys but doesn't show the track titles (in fact the A2DP protocol doesn't support this).
To upgrade it: manual, software, firmware (or go here and select "HTC Tattoo").
It's very simple to upgrade but, if you can wait, during this week I'm uploading a video about it: I did it last weekend.
Unfortunately, this last firmware doesn't resolve any problems like doesn't sync contact names from the phonebook neither the call history.
Moreover I can't use the "red button" because it kills the app "phone" so I have to reboot or enter again my PIN code.
I have a Wildfire with Froyo 2.2.1 stock.
Bye.
! !
Ps.: my unit has some problems so I have to bring it at assistance.
It's normal that there is always the "FAV" icon at top right of the display?
Thank you.
The protocol for track names is AVCRP rather than A2DP, but unfortunately the result is the same, the bluetooth stack in Android does not appear to be 1.4, rather 1.3 which doesn't have the feature.
Do you have an import via bluetooth option on your Kenwood. At first my JVC wouldn't sync and I just had to export the cantact list and then use a bluetooth transfer app to transmit it across manually. One day it just started working as mentioned above.
@400ixl: there is an automatic sync of all datas every time that the phone connects to the Kenwood radio but with Android it doesn't work, unfortunately.
I hope there will be an another Bluetooth firmware upgrade.
Thank you.
Bye.

I uploaded a short video about the upgrade.
If you would like see it, I'll write the link.

thanks very much

Hi all,
I`ve been with HTC from 2006 onwards. The U11 was the best one so far. (M8 was nice too!)
Now it's failing on me after 3 years of use. (bat is still fine!)
I make the most of my calls in the car over Bluetooth connection to the radio.
On both incoming and outgoing calls, the phone dies completely. No history of the call is recorded in the dial section, nor am I prompted with a crash log.
Temp of the phone is normal.
Factory reset doesn`t change it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not and it happens mostly when connected over Bluetooth.
Any words of wisdom from you guys? Should this be hard or software related?
Hope to keep this one for a while and therefore hope for some help!!
Thanks in advance,
Erik, the Netherlands.
Update for those who are interested.
I installed Lineage OS 16 to see if it`s based on the software.
Problem still exists. Bugger. New phone I guess...
