Hi ppl,
I'm having issues with bluetooth on mytouch4g phone.
To connect it to hands free set I have to every time turn off and then turn on bluetooth on my phone.
Anyone have similar issue?
Is there a setting somewhere to set default device?
Thanks
Do you mean "Hands free mode" or do you mean pairing a stereo BT headset?
With the stock OS -- "Hands free mode" can be set by either 1) starting the Car Dock application, or 2) Using the BT headset phone button or the Genius button to enable speech commands, and saying "Hands Free On" once the phone is ready.
With the stock OS -- pairing of the phone occurs automatically whether the phone or headset is powered up first. Pairing of media (for stereo headsets) will only occur automatically with any degree of regularity -- from experimentation and observation by others, reported on forums like this -- if the phone's BT is powered up =after= the headset. One can manually disable and enable media connectivity after long pressing on the device in the BT settings window, and that will establish the media connection -- but it is probably easier to have a BT power toggle on your home page somewhere.
If neither of these answers the question you were asking, please rephrase it. And of course, for a custom ROM (non-stock OS), ask in the appropriate ROM's thread in the development subforum.
I mean bluetooth at car. I'm able to pair my phone with car and connect with no issues.
If I get into the car with my phone and bt on - it will not establish connection. I have to turn off bt on the phone and turn it back on. Then it will establish connection. It works fine with my old Fuze.

Is it possible to have my phone automatically pair up and start using it as the audio device when I turn bluetooth on? I have the new AT&T Tilt and bought a Motorola DC800 bluetooth receiver for my car. I'm new to this whole pda phone thing - and as of right now - I have to go into the settings of the bluetooth menu and click/hold on the DC800 and say "Set as Wireless Stereo"... since I get in and out of the car a lot - I'm looking for a way to avoid having to do these extra clicks...
Any registry tricks or programs that will auto connect for me?
Look for A2DP Toggle. It should solve your problem... not that it would automatically pair, but give you a much easier way to accomplish the above than what you are doing at the moment.
Hi,
I have a question about bluetooth on my Cruise. I have a bluetooth Headset "Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset" (bluetooth 1.2 and no a2dp).
My problem is that it is not detected by my phone.
Is there a way to do it works ?
Thanks
I need a little bit more details:
What have you already done? Have you ever had a running bluetooth port?
Normal procedure should look like:
Is your bluetooth device set to receive signal?
On mobile go to settings - connections - bluetooth. Folder devices: Is the device already visible? Otherwise type in Add new device. Now you should see the new device. Do your headset require a password? Type in the same as given in the manual. Connection is established.
probably you have to put headset in pairing mode, otherwise your phone cannot detect it....
Hi,
Thanks for your responses.
stefan1959: my device is not visible by my phone, even I add new device.
my bluetooth is active and my headset is on. I have another phone (Samsung D500) and my headset is detected by it.
But I have paired it a long time ago, and it is already known by my phone (D500).
I will look at the manual (if I find it !) if there is a special thing to do to put the headset in pairing mode (thanks nushuth).
I'll post here when I did it.
Thanks

There usually is special procedure. Headsets do not operate in discovery/pairing mode all the time, so your problem solution should be there.
Ok thanks everybody. It works with paring mode.
I forgot it because I have another headset and there is no need to do that.
Thanks again.
Is anyone able to automatically connect to a bluetooth device from your captivate? I am using a sony bluetooth receiver a2dp profile so it's basically functioning like a bluetooth headset.
Pairing works. Manually connecting works. But it would be great if the captivate automatically connected to the bluetooth receiver as soon as i turn on bluetooth. It takes almost five clicks to manually connect but only one to turn on bluetooth.

I have a similar problem in that the phone will sometimes "forget" the bluetooth devices that it has been paired with. I then have to do the pairing all over again.
I'm having the same problem - 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.
Mine connects right away.
I think it is relate to not being able to set the bluetooth to always visable. My fuze had the same problem untill I put the energy rom on it.
I'm having the same trouble. I have to click on the Connect option which is buried in the Bluetooth menu. Annoying.
Are you using a task manager or some sort of helper to keep battery usage low? I found I was having a blue tooth problem until I saw a OPP service pop up on my task manager. Every time I killed apps I had blue tooth problems until I set this service to be ignored and left alone. Now even after I shut off the phone and turn it back on, I quickly connect to my blue tooth headset.
I'm just a noob here and I am thankful to everyone who posts who have helped me so i thought I's throw this out as something to check on.
This is my first time with a bluetooth device so I'm not sure what the norm is.
I got my device (T-Mobile G2x) paired with my bluetooth receiver (a BluBridge rx) and when I connect it all is well and everything works. The thing is it won't automatically reconnect. Is there something I need to do to get it to automatically reconnect? Or is my best bet to add a bluetooth settings shortcut on my homescreen?
Hi all,
I have a 2008 vehicle in which Bluetooth seems to be a problem depending on which ROM I have installed on the device.
I'm currently on Android 9 OB 7 and Bluetooth connects and stays connected through incoming and outgoing calls. Works flawlessly.
However, with for example Lineage (among others), the Bluetooth pairs, but connection drops soon after or drops after the first call with the car stereo showing "Net Search", meaning the car BT lost service but the phone Bluetooth is still connected. I've tried restarting and resetting network settings but no luck at all. Changing dev options doesn't work either.
I'm thinking it could be a Bluetooth stack difference?
Is there a way to replace the lineage Bluetooth with OOS?
There is no bluetooth.default.so file that I could find
Any help or direction is appreciated.

I am having the same issue with 9.0.2 OOS. So not sure if this us a compatibility issue with more than 1-2 years old vehicles or something else? Glad to hear that OB7 is working fine for you. Hope fix is coming soon. It's simply annoying.
I am having car connection issues as well. I have a 2010 Ford Edge. Just moved from Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra on Orea to my first OP device - OP6 Pie 9.0.2 - I can connect to my car initially but once I turn off my car, I have to go through a series of reconnect steps. I called tech support and we spent about 45 min troubleshooting - of course I was told I was the only one who had complained of this issue - anyway no resolution. The only way I can "reconnect" is to go into my car's system settings and select "connect to BT device" then toggle bluetooth off and on in the phone - sometimes this works with the first go, other times I have to repeat this cycle 5 or 6 times. Simply selecting "previously paired devices" in the phone app doesn't work either.
Really a pain in the tush, because I am usually in a hurry and don't have time to go through all this scenario to get a connection.
On the other hand, I have a bluetooth ear piece (made by Samsung that is like 5 or 6 years old) that reconnects every time I turn it on, no problems.
Car connections too but was not present in omni
I found for stock, performing a network reset (mobile, wifi Bluetooth) then restarting the device fixed the Bluetooth connection issue.
For custom non-stock ROMs, for my issue at least, I found its not a Bluetooth issue at all but rather the mobile network drops and the car Bluetooth cannot reconnect. The same network reset as above does not work but what does work is toggle off the "automatically select network" and manually select the mobile network from the menu that pops up. This keeps the mobile network intact (until the next device reboot, at which point repeat the steps) with the car and all is good.
I only figured it out by accident; hope this helps others.
