I have noticed a couple of times not that i will sync a BT device but a little later its removed from the list. Any thoughts? Thanks
Update. I have realized that this happens everytime i do a softreset using rebootnow app. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
Also this happens when i turn my phone off... no one else has this problem ???
sorry to keep pushing this thread but its the most annoying bug i've ever had. I tested almost everthing except a hard reset but whenever i do a softreset my bt devices that i have paired with get erased.... any guesses
I'm having similar problems - if I turn the phone off & back on again, it won't connect to my car. The bluetooth menu still shows that it's paired, but it won't connect (even if I try to manually connect). The only way to get it to connect again is to turn bluetooth off & back on - then it connects automatically.
I've only seen it delete paired devices from the list once - that was when I rooted the phone. It hasn't deleted them since.

well my phone is rooted so i'm hoping thats not the problem. Also I just made a lengthy video to show the problem and i will post it in a little bit on here so others can see the problem.
so for some reason i can't get the video of my friends iphone 4 but i was looking through the settings.db file and i found some interesting stuff about the bluetooth devices so i was wondering if anyone could look at this and tell me if there is something wrong also can a couple of people post their settings.db file on here so i can compare. thanks
I Get This Too!
For me it seems to only "remember" the devices that have phone capability turned on.
For instance, it never loses my Jawbone headset but it always loses my Kensington LiquidAux which I use to play music through my car's stereo.
But if I turn on the LiquidAux's phone option, the Captivate remembers it.
I've also paired it with the Motorola HT820 stereo bluetooth headset and it seems to remember that one as well but that has phone option too. I'll have to try turning off the phone function and see if it remembers then.

yes that is the exact same problem I have, If i disable the phone option for the BT car stereo then in gets erased when i restart my phone but if i keep it enabled then it doesn't seem to get erased. WTF can someone provide a logical explanation for this or can someone who is rooted give a counter example
My phone is rooted and currently running the JH2 ROM.
But I have experienced this problem with the original ROM as well.
I've tested with three different Bluetooth stereo/phone devices and the result was the same with all three: remove phone option and the profile eventually disappears.
As long as you don't disable the phone option of your bluetooth device it should remain in the Captivate's profile list.

No, I'm saying that it definitely DOES have the problem. So it does not appear to be ROM specific. There is a JH3 ROM out now that I think I will try today. I'll post my findings once I've had a chance to experiment.
Also, I'd like to know if anyone running any of the other modified i9000 ROMs, like JM5, is having the same problem.
Well, I just installed the JH3 ROM but the problem is still there.
Looks like we'll have to wait for Froyo and hope for the best.
Problem FIXED in froyo ji6
I just want to let everyone know who has had this problem that it is fixed in the leaked froyo build jfyi
I can't get the Captivate to connect via Bluetooth to anything other than my car.
It pairs with my Windows 7 computer, but will not connect.
I've even tried connecting via Bluetooth to Kies without success.
Is there a way to do file transfer via Bluetooth?

I'm running froyo and it's not fixed. I didn't have this problem with android 2.1, but noticed the problem after upgrading to froyo.
Anyone else seeing some odd behavior with bluetooth pairings? I keep on having to re-pair with my laptop (Win 7 64x) and my car (Audi S4). Complete pain.
I use it with my computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my Motorola bluetooth headset, no problems since I first paired each (sometime in July).
I have the same issue at times....quite frustrating and I have found no way to stop it from happening....
Yep. I get this too. My only fix has been to turn off my plantronics earpiece and when turned back on it connects.

I am JH3 as well, FWIW. Dunno if JF6 gave me the same problem. I now have 3 of the same device in my Win7 BT folder. I also remember seeing the BT settings reverting to old ones.
Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.

I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.
More Info
While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.
In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.
For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.
If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.
Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.
My rom is stock.
The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.
There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.
I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...
I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.
Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.
Hey guys
Strange issue here. I paired my phone with my car through Bluetooth to make and receive calls using the car audio system. It works well.
However, if I fire Google Navigation, I can't here the spoken instructions through either the phone speaker or the car speakers.
I was not expecting navigation audio to be routed through Bluetooth audio, but I did expect the navigation instructions to come out of the phone speaker, as it does on the nexus one or the vibrant both running Android 2.2.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks

did you flash a new kernel or anything because the kernel in the dev thread is known to break bluetooth
if it does this stock out of the box try doing a system restore and then take it back if its still acting up because bluetooth should turn on
yea i used the pkg one that had SU etc on it. Suppose Ill have to flash back to stock arg.
just so peeps know with the bt issue flashing this fixed

Bluetooth doesn't stream audio to car - what's your experience
I've got a Ford Edge with the new Ford MyTouch/Sync system.
The Nexus S connects to the Bluetooth just fine; makes and receives calls perfectly. It will also connect to the Bluetooth Audio Stream for music playback, but won't play the audio over the car's speakers. Also, sometimes it connects, holds the connection for just a few seconds and then disconnects. My SGS and Nexus One work as expected, as does the iPhone, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the car.
Seems like a bug in the NS to me.
I'm curious if others are streaming audio/music to their auto's BT system without issues?
It would be especially nice to know what anyone else with a new Ford/Lincoln is experiencing, but I'd also like to compile a list of what cars work and what don't.
I'm going to have to find some other BT device that I can test the stream on to see if my phone works with it or not. Maybe my Nexus One dock? I've never used that to stream audio even with the Nexus One.
In terms of troubleshooting my problem, I've already rebooted the phone and the car, un-paired and re-paired the phone with the car.
I've got a Mazda RX8 R3 and the NS will pair with the in-built car BT but drops the connection after a few minutes. It then refuses to connect again unless I re-pair, then a few minutes later it drops and we're back to square one.
The car's in-built BT worked fine with my HTC Desire, Hero, iPhone 3G and Blackberry 9700 so I'm guessing the Nexus S has a Bluetooth issue.
Mine works fine on my aftermarket Sony receiver.
having issues with bluetooth audio too, stream keeps breaking every now and then. Any fixes?
I've only streamed to the car stereo and had no issues. The phone is only about 10cms away.
Haven't tried my BT headphones yet, maybe range is the issue.
*On original ROM.

tried placing the phone right next the the BT reciever and same problem. Only tried this once, maybe I'll try rebooting the phone.
no problem here
using Bionix 1.2
You're lucky, I can't even get BT music streaming to work with my car. No other BT devices to check with besides my Nexus One dock, which has no speakers.
BT works great for the phone, though, to make and receive calls.
Problem with Bluetooth
I cant get to work bluetooth on Nexus S.
When i enable it and try to send something from SGS to Nexus S it says me "This tranfer was canceled by the user" (Nexus S)
SGS says "Remote device rejected your request"
When i try send something from Nexus S, but use not function Send, i use function Bluetooth - it says me "The application Bluetooth Share (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I tried factory reset, wipe cache, tried flash any other roms, but got NOTHING helpt me. I have this problem on 2 phones (2xNS).
Can someone give me files of BlueTooth share? (com.android.bluetooth)
That's an interesting problem you have. Mine did the same thing transfering from my computer to my NS. I just tried it again when I read your post (to make completely sure what the error was) and it has automagically fixed its self.
Well, seems i need a file \system\app\bluetooth.apk
So I of course love my Thunderbolt, but I have one issue I can't seem to fix. My phone connects to my trucks headunit over Bluetooth for talk and audio. Once I start Pandora or the native music app, about 20 seconds later the phone says "Bluetooth Headset Disconnected" and thats that. Anyone else having this issue and are there any known fixes yet?
this just started happening to me after using BT successfully for months. i have tried pairing and repairing. initial pair connects headset and media, but after a few seconds i see the message headset disconnected.... the media profile is still paired but not headset.
any ideas?
thanks,
eric
i have this issue as well, but i'm running bamf 1.6.2... i wasn't going to say anything itll i was on CM again (it did work when i was on CM previously)
Try unpairing, then repairing - this time deny any requests to let your car access the TB's phonebook via bluetooth. That solved it for me.
happens to me every once in a while.
stock
no root.
i have to turn bt off and then back on and it reconnects without issue.
I was looking for this on all forum and did not find answer. I get second one skyrocket and second blutooth device plantronic voyager pro HD and still have problem as is had with last one. Devices paired with no problem and worked for some one-two days with no problem. After that time sound is scrachy and disconnect from phone, then i can not turn on or off blutooth on phone and also can not find device antill i restart phone. Skayrocket running on rooted stock and I installed CWM on. Did not flash with any rom yet. Any idea what is the problem or this is hardware problem again ( that why i replace last one phone and bluetooth) ???
There's an issue with bluetooth on the skyrocket and the galaxy s2 for some reason. I am running the newest version of seanzscreams ROM and I've had no issues since I updated. My bluetooth would think it was connected but when I made a call I'll have no audio. I would have to reboot my skyrocket and resync my bluetooth. Hopefully they fix it in the ICS release.
so many ppl having bluetooth issue. SO i ma gonna take out my jawbone and see if i can help these ppl out.
I have the Era, Plantronics backbeat 903+, and the Blue Ant Q2 and they all do the same darn thing. It's weird, the phone even shows it's connected. When I press the button on my Era is says how much talk time is left but not connect me to your phone. It is a pain. I wish it would automatically sync to my car when I turn it on and switch off my earpiece. Guess we need to wait for an app or something.
Well my jawbone got connected to phone easily. Made phone call and every thing went smooth so good news for me. Running Ice cream rom.
What I found was that you have to make sure it's set to auto connect if not then you'll have to manually connect it every time in your Bluetooth settings.

Thanks all for answers.. I hope someone will find solution for problem , i also will try to flash some roms to see what is working what not..
I was having a strange problem with bluetooth as well. The audio would become undecipherable sometimes. I found that when I had wifi turned on I could recreate the issue and when I turned it off the issue when away. I've since used tasker to turn off the wifi when initiating a bluetooth connection and haven't had the problem since. Your results may vary, but couldn't hurt to try it out. Hopefully it'll fix your issue.
There is a definitely issue with bluetooth. I use 5 different sets of bluetooth (Bose, Plantronics Voyager Pro, Plantroinics 975, Blueant Q2, Jawbone) and they all seem to have an issue with Skyrocket. Even tho they are paired and connected to the phone, I can't seem to hear anything. Also, sometimes it does not turn on or off. There are times when it won't even connect/pair even though the bluetooth is set on auto connect. I have to reboot in order to get it working correctly. With my Bionic, I never have that issue. This is my 2nd set of Skyrocket and my first one had the same issues.

In "Settings", "Use Power saving mode", there are a number of defaults, one of which is "turn off blutetooth".
If you have powersavings enabled and this ticked off it will drop your BT connection if it's idle for a bit... It also has the same foy wi-fi, gps, and sync, and timeout and response values for brightness and timeout.
Also note that reaching your "low power" threshold set in this area will turn off all of those too.

I'm on my second White Skyrocket and am still having the same bluetooth issue. After connecting with my car, then leaving the car and returning later, I cannot turn BT back on without a reboot. Once it connects, it works well though.
Issue w/Speaker
I've not connected with a bluetooth headset, but I have HORRIBLE audio issues when using my Parrot 2.1 b'tooth speaker.
Rocket connects & keeps connection, but audio drops & is choppy - even when < 4' away.
White Skyrocket on faux's kernel & seanscreamz SkyIceCreamSandwich RC6.6 ROM.
I did something diffriend on my wifes skayrocket with stock rom and no root totaly clean...
I turn on bloototh on phone and connect to handset, connection is exelent so i never turn off bluetooth on phone and so fare so good for last 2 days.

BT sucks down too much battery life to leave on all the time for me.
That's what we have found to be the issue....everything works unless bt is toggled off then back on
Bt draining battery when not connected does not make much sense...it doesn't scan frequently once on from what I can tell. Would have to run some logs to verify

Try with Wifi turned off and see if that helps
I'm running Sky Ice Cream Snadwich 6.5Z. I seem to have bluetooth issues with my Backbeat 903+ when Wifi is turned on. I just tested it. I hung up the call, turned off Wifi and the audio was much better. I still have to have the in-call volume turned way down though
I will say that the 903+ were kind of crappy when I used them with my iPhone 3GS too though. Again, had to turn the volume all the way down. Its too bad because I really loved the first gen of this headset
I was palying with bluetooth and I notice if i turn off Bluetooth PBAP and Bluetooth Share my connection to handset if perfect. Can somebody explain what are this two thinks and what role they have in phone ?
You can find Bluetooth info here:
(sorry new member... can't post outside links... search wikipedia for "Bluetooth profile")
It will explain what PBAP and all those other services that do not work and cause you grief...
I have a feeling that this issue with this model of phone could be because it is using Bluetooth 3.0, maybe the Bluetooth devices we are trying to connect to are not compatible or struggle with the data transfer rate?
In any case it is super annoying, lets hope the issue gets fixed with ICS. I am trying to use my SGS2 LTE (on Rogers in Canada) with my Bluetooth in my Hyundai Tucson 2010... it rarely connects, and when it does either it cannot download my address book or people cannot hear me.
I read in this thread "set it to connect automatically", I cannot find this setting on the phone, any help?
Thanks,
Marc
