[NEED HELP!]Can not call using Parrot Handsfree in Kenwood head unit - General Topics

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

please People! Help Us!

I just saw that Manila 2.5 created a new group, htc favorites, could it be because of this group?
I don't know how to delete it.

come on! Please I NEED HELP! please

hmm
What do I have to do here, to get some help/suggestions? Please

over a week!
please please please help

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 )

HTC Bluetooth Hot Fix

Hi,
HTC today posted a hot fix for bluetooth at their e-Club.
Description:
Bluetooth Hot Fix (for HTC TyTN II)
Dropped calls sometimes occur when Bluetooth is on. If you encountered the same problem, please download this Bluetooth Hot Fix and install it on your device.
Br,
Mads
Downloaded it from HTc.cOM
Installation instructions
Follow the instructions below to download and install the hot fix on your device:
Make sure you have Microsoft ActiveSync® installed on your Windows XP PC or Windows Mobile Device Center on your Windows Vista® PC. You can find Microsoft ActiveSync from this link or Windows Mobile Device Center from this link.
Connect and synchronize your device with your PC via Microsoft ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center using the USB cable.
To download thehot fix, first select the check box below. Next, select thehot fix and the desired FTP site then click Download.

To install the hot fix, tap the cab file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Here is the file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/77588898/TyTNII_BT_Hotfix.zip
Enjoy,
Nadavi
Extracted madsnm's posted cab, which is the same as nadavi's. This is a replacement file for OEM\OEMDrivers\TIInit_4_2_38.bts (a.k.a. \windows\TIInit_4_2_38.bts for non-chefs).
I've re-attached it as the naked file (without the cab installer or the self-extracting exe installer).
Any decent chef should be able to figure out how to turn a single file into an OEM package
Edit: Forgot to add that there are no registry entries, as I've already created registry dumps before/after install...
Edit3: It *IS* the same as the one in the AT&T 1.60 ROM. I did a file compare and there are no binary differences.
Although I am not having any problems as mentioned in the fix log, but the idea of HTC releasing something for us is great .

well, 6.1 ROM doesnt really looks appealing to me, i believe most of us would want our freaking D3D driver to improve our kaiser speed.
come'on HTC, give us our driver. We want our kaiser to work @ its full potential!
almost forgot, to the brothers at the top 3 post, THANKS for sharing!
Solved my "bad" connection to the BT carset - thx....

OT but the driver is there. Look here for more info. There's also an XDA thread on this. We just need to tweak it out for general purpose acceleration.

It doesn't say much if they hacked something for Coreplayer, or it was a general fix from HTC for all Windows Mobile devices running the MSM chipset.
Would be nice if the Kaiser was as snappy as that dual-keyboard Pantech running WM6 Standard.
I'm at loss to say if all the UI (and general system) lag is from too much use of .NET, lack of hardware accelerated graphics drivers, or Pro just runs slower than Standard because of the touch-screen support.
Hmm...wonder why i didn't get an email from the e-Club about this. I log into the site and find the fix just fine but I thought I'm supposed to get a notification about it (i'm pretty positive that was my preference when signing up)
Anyway, does this hot fix help in pairing bluetooth with car kits and devices that had problems or were incompatible thus far.
I've never experienced dropped calls with my BT connection, but I do have another problem that is pissing me off.
I have two different Pioneer stereos in two different vehicles. The AVIC-Z1 and the Premier DEH-P980BT.
When I first try to initiate a call with the 980, the connection is made, but the audio is somewhere in limbo between the phone and car speakers. There is a BT connection, but it takes about a minute and a half to actually start sounding through the speakers. By that time, the receiving end has hung up.
Since it only happens for the first call of the ride, I've been getting in the car, calling my voicemail, and waiting until I can hear the voicemail prompts. After that, I can make and receive call normally until I shut the car off.
If this fixes the problem I'm having, I'll be ecstatic.
Hi,
I have no noticable problems with BT exept the sound quality. Will be anything better or maybe worst if I install this upgrade? Does anybody have experience on it?
Thx

Sounds like they had to change something with the drivers. So they're there but poorly implemented. And sounds like they'll give us driver info once its released. I'll buy it if it fixes the D3D support!
Still garbled on my Tilt with an Infinity G35..now how do I deleted the Kai6492_HotFix from my Programs directory? I can't see to find it...yet the icon is still there. Any one know?

here's what causes that issue on my phone:
hit the ms voice command button and hear the beep prompt.
now hold the button down till you get the cancel beep.
now make a call. you will get no audio either direction.
turn the phone off, and the sound starts working. turn it back on and it's gone again.
key the ms voicecommand button again and let the time expire instead of holding to cancel.
make another call, and the audio will be fine, except for a 5 to 10 second delay.
see if this is how your phone behaves also. if I don't ever cancel a ms voicecommand by holding the button down, everything seems to work fine.
After installing the "fix" I could no longer use voice dial with any of my bluetooth headsets. Uninstalling the fix fixed it.....go figure.....
I think that HTC really need to have more, serious, knowledgable beta testers to tryout this stuff with various software and hardware scenarios before releasing the device. Some of these "bloggers" that they send new, unreleased devices to are either cronies or don't know much, or will not test the devices thoroughly and/or report back to HTC what problems that they experienced. I am a Verizon and AT&T user. Have seen these anamolies between diferent devices for some time now. The Mogul and XV6800 don't have the same issues we have, however, I guarantee you they do have others such as the De-activated GPS flaw that happened recently in the Mogul.
Unfortunately my Kaiser didn't work still with this hotfix. I installed on my device few times, I rebooted the headset and nothing. Probably it's like that because my ROM is 1.83, it's original polish version of it. How can I resolve the problem of bt headset ?
The fix file is a CAB (download from HTC e-club)... I install the CAB and find a link under software menu... I tap it... and another installation is done... I must soft reset the device... and stop...
Okai... so I think in this way the fix is gone... but... I have yet the cab installed under Software CAB and Installed application... can I uninstall it? The trashes pissing me :-D
or for att users go here....

bluetooth car hands free not working

I posted a couple of days ago but didnt really explain properly so starting again.
I have a touch pro, with romeos2 rom installed. I have tried the 1.51 and 1.60.1 builds.
the device pairs find, picks up phonebook etc fine. but i cant dial from the headunit. its driving me insane. I havent tried with other roms apart from romeos2.
Sometimes it will dial but only if you dial on the headunit then turn phone off and on. it seemed to work slightly better with romeos1.51 but still useless.
Does anyone have any ideas? meh... getting annoyed with this
p.s. i tried my friends touch HD and works perfectly, 100%. he has windows build 20757
UPDATE: incase anyone else is having issues
Monx (romeos2 legend) has asvised to try installing the BTSAP profile when using his rom. I havent tested yet but will try tonight.
What i did find is that I tried the windows build my friend had and that didnt help, issue was the same. I tried another radio 1.02.25.31, same problem only worse. then tried flashing RRE 3.1 fuze rom and at the same time 1.08.25.20M1 radio. Now the phone works in the car, responds to headunit dial requests.
New problem is that it doesnt download phonebook to the headunit.
will keep posted on progress if anyone is having this problem
same here, im running Romeos 1.5x final touch pro rom on my fuze.
paired fine, cant make phone call, the car shows no connection
i tried install BTSAP, BTSAP, BTBPP, doesnt work...
please help, i really like romeos rom
Its working!!! i reflashed romeos 1.60.2 and installed the btsap profile and its working.
I dont think its the btsap that did it as from what i gather the btsap is to access the sim card of your phone to use it remotely in another phone devide in a car stereo and i dont have that.
I think the think that fixed it was flashin the australia radio 1.08.25.20M1.
It responded instantly to dial requests and pairs fine!

Try flashing the australia 1.08.25.20M1 Raphael radio and see if that works.
Also have you tried Jetware handsfree extensions? Some head units need this to work properly, and i think pioneer has issues if its not used.
1.08.25.20M1 ? I've been using this radio since they first posted it here.
so i dont think its the radio thats blocking it
any other suggestion?
btw i have a kenwood navigation with bluetooth add-on. works fine with my tilt and all the other phones.
thanks in advance...

well after all that, i hard resetted my device again to setup up from scratch, tested with new radio and it didnt work.
Sooo... installed the BTSAP profile and working fine so looks like that was the cause of my problems all along
thanks for testing that for us...
i installed BTSAP in my fuze still no luck...hopefully more people will come in and share with us how their setup works
well after all that mine isnt actually working properly arrrrrrgh
I just did few tests as have been messing with phone at work then quickly testing on breaks. anyway basically if the phone is on it seems to work fine and connects/dials calls perfectly since installing btsap....
however.... if the phone goes in to standby for a length of time it doesnt wake up when i try and dial from the headunit. If it then turn the phone on again it will start dialing.
This is totally 100% doing my head in as just spend bloody 90 quid on the bluetooth thing for my car
Anyone got any ideas why it wont wake up when dialing from bluetooth handsfree? The dial command obviously got to the phone as it starts dialling when you take it out of standby.
HELP! lol
Glad to see I am not alone in this. What a pain! Can someone tell me where to download the BTSAP cab? I will try that and jetware to see if it helps. I have a Kenwood head unit that also allows for SMS via the head unit but it doesn't work with my Fuze. Anyone else have that feature working?
Thanks

htc and kenwood car stereo how to?

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!

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?

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!

HD2 automatically make calls when use the earphone

Hello, I am not sure I should ask this question here, but please help.I buy a HD2 in singapore, I check the s/n and P/n to prove it is offical. But now I got a problem is the phone will call the last number of the call history out automatically when I use the earphone to listen Mp3 with Manila Mp3 Player. This happen when the screen is locked and turned off, and only when I use the earphone. I am using the offical rom with radio 1.66 which I download from www.HTC.com. It also happens to my frends who also use HD2. Is there any why to fix it? Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot
Although the thread is quite old (according to last post date) but I had the same issue on my hd2 i.e. dialing the last number automatically when listening to song with original stock earphone. After some time I came to know that if there is any last number dialed on your phone then quick double pressing the middle button on earphone (just like double clicking on you desktop or laptop) will cause the hd2 to dial last number in your phone call history. You can check it out.
I am going to copy and paste the same comments on another thread where simillar issue is mentioned.

[Q] Kenwood KDC-BT50U

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.
Bye!

thanks very much
Video.
Bye!
