[Q] Bluetooth issue Gingerbread update - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. On x99 Rom and Mikshift rom, I am having a bluetooth issue that did not occur on the stock 2.2 rom. I am able to connect to my car, but the phone contacts will not show on the car screen anymore. Any ideas? Thanks.

Does anyone know if this might be because my contacts are considered google contacts and not phone contacts? How would one go about linking contacts to phone too?

I'm having an issue where the phone will connect to the car, but not stream media via bluetooth. I know that this is the wrong thread, but I just thought I'd post that you're not the only one having bluetooth issues with the car.

Dude this thread is old as ISH . But anyway. Have you made sure that the BT in the vehicle will connect, and work properly? Like have you tried a different device? Have you tried to connect your device to another vehicle to ensure it works correctly?

Bluetooth Device Problem

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?

gingerbread car bluetooth bug, seeking confirmation from others

Since I updated from XXKB3 froyo 2.2.1 to GB 2.3.3 & later to 2.3.5 I found that Bluetooth is broken & I am not the only one but still needs confirmation from i9003 users on this.
Bluetooth is broken on Gb roms I test on 2 version but both were custom roms but my guess is that its the base GB rom which has this bug.
Car bluetooth does not connect fast enough
later I found that its trying to download /access phonebook which it never does.
on every connection it ask for permission to access to phonebook, if you allow it fails to connect, if you cancel then only it connects.
once connected you can stream music but sound drops every 10 sec & same happens to phone call sound.
I deleted & reset both devices & manually paired BT then downloaded the phonebook manually to car but now it hangs & shows downloading call history log & never finishes it.
I tried connecting to other bluetooth phones but that also fails, it connects but cant transfer files & remains hanged.
Due to this problem I cant use gps Sound navigation while driving, nor can I stream music nor I can use phone while driving. Need to report this bugs to developers to find some solution.
Those who have this phone can you please test bluetooth & confirm, please mention your FW when you report here.
Here are few link on google which I found having similar issues since GB update.

Updated Summary of these BT bugs
Car BT ask permission to access phone book at first pairing if you choose yes it never downloads teh contacts & hangs. After that every time I start BT, it ask permission to access phone book if given access it hangs over & over again.

if I switch off the car & take the key out (switching the radio completely off) then BT connection force reboots the phone automatically. To avoid this I have to manually switch the BT off then switch the engine off, next time I start the car I have to switch ON the BT once again.

The only difference I think car BT has is that it downloads/access to phone contacts & call history & that is the step where it hangs the BT.
Car BT has following feature.
I can actually call my contact using voice command (voice compatible BT only)
I can see history /last missed/dialed/received call on car BT screen without going to phone.
I can watch youtube/local SD card videos / live TV channels via 3g internet & the sound is connected to car speakers, its like a mini home theater in the car.
Using sound navigation with car speakers while playing /streaming music from phone, if the call comes I can take call by steering mounted controls or using Voice command (Vlingo "take the call"), in this case the navigation screen will go in background & music/sound automatically muted, as I finish the call all sound comes back, gps navigation back to the same screen as it was & this all happens me driving at 120 kmph on highway.
For me this is an important feature as I travel a lot & I am really frustrated with GB, I will try the DDKP2 as last if that also fails then I have no option but to revert to XXKB3 as it worked without any such problem, it had few bugs but those are now been modded by few developers.
I need GB as 2-3 of apps which I use will only work on GB but I don't thing using these apps are more important than using sound navigation & BT music streaming.
i also have the problem with the bluetooth it connects to another phones and computer....
but my phone is not connecting to my car's bluetooth to play songs... it shows " pairing declined " or "connection cannot be established"
@sirilpta
Delete the paired devices from car & phone both
now initiate BT pairing fresh
once paired > click to connect
i9003 will ask via notification saying car BT wants to access phone book
say no to it
now it will connect in 10 sec & you can stream music
trouble starts after 2 mins the sound will go off every 10 sec
go to car BT menu there you will see accessing phonebook or call history (That's the bug)
since you disallowed access to phonebook yet its trying to connect.
i tried to pair but it shows pairing declined

I just found a temp solution, as long as screen is On the music streaming works fine so I have set it to 10 min & there was no interruption in streaming within those 10 mins. but this bug is making me seriously go back to XXKB3 if DDKP2 dont work.
I am told that BAM custom kernal V12 onwards the blue tooth bug has been sorted out but for that I will have to reflash a clean rom & flash the kernel, will report back once I do that next week.
Try using BCK Custom kernel by XDA_Bam, in that kernel bluetooth problems are resolved

Problem with Bluetooth Car kit

Hi, I'm not able to transfert the phonebook from the phone to the Bluetooth car kit. It seems to start transfert but never end. Whit the Sensation and the same car kit no problem.
Any idea to risolve?
Do you click and allow the prompt on the phone to allow the phonebook connection to start, you only get this prompt the first time the devices connect after pairing. You may need to delete the pairing information and start again to see this prompt again!
Yes, I allow the transfer of phone book just after pairing and I see the indication "phone book transfer" on display of car systems but it never ends and no contact is transfered to systems car. With same procedure the sensation works perfectly. Probably there is something on bluetooh 4.0 that is different from 3.0 implemented on Sensation. Very strange because BT 4.0 is mainly focused on energy saving and should be compatibile with previous release.
Anyone has the same issue?
Same ty[e of problem with BT Car stereo
I can't even get my One to see my Sony BT car stereo- HTC diesre was fine and streamed music and calls perfectly.
Have googled aroudn this issue but can't seem to find a good answer.

Interesting cause I have Sony DSX-S300BTX myself. if Bluetooth doesn't work on this, I will buy Galaxy Nexus instead. I stream music in my car most of the time.
I had a quite similar issue with a Seat Altea car. It was starting the sync, and arriving at 160 contacts it just hang.
I solved it by making some cleanup and by selecting only the required address book in thé htc contact list...

Car Bluetooth problem ICS/JB (WORK AROUND SOLUTION)

Issue for me is car bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like every minute, the whole thing just does not work properly.
BUT SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY ROM< I MEAN ANY.
Just plug your phone to a charger in the car and thats it. it prevents deep sleep and it will not drain you battery as it's charging.
!!!Suggestion, if you have a usb slot in the car, use it to charge the phone, as cigarette lighter charger most likely will create a wake lock that will prevent your phone going to DP after you exit the car.
Res.
I appreciate all your efforts.
I'm one of those with bluetooth issues only on UCLD2 when connecting to my JVC car stereo to play Pandora or other Internet radio. I have not tested or used MP3 stuff.
I tried Mohans ROM, then update, then the beats audio, then the UCALC4 kernel. All in that order, testing each time. None worked for me.
Thanks though
I've also tried the bluetooth fixes 1 & 2 from Seanz's ROM from last week. Have not tried the 10 version yet. But some others are saying it didn't resolve this particular issue either.

Yep, U10 does not work on my phone. I just don't want to take away anything from Sean as he does great work, so can't say 100% it does not work, it just does not for me in this case.
I believe you are correct on the culprit being the music player.
I have been on Sean's Roms (update 9 for a few weeks and then upgraded to 10 whenever it came out). I stream to a Ford Sync system (2010) and I have not had any problems. 10, in particular, seems great. I use the phone handsfree via bt and stream music (Slacker radio) to and fro work. Also been using btooth inside the house to stream Slacker to a speaker system. No problems there either. But I have NOT used the music player app at all...

See I am scared to think it's FORD soft. that is the problem, as that would be so much harder to fix, they just came up with an update and new one is not coming. And it worked on Sean's ROM up until Update 7, which base of his are you using the GMAIL/no limit or exchange server one?
Also it has something to do with Music Player or files on the Leak, as sometimes it messes with USB input music and cant read the USB, and I disconnect the phone ant USB starts working.
Have you received a USB from FORD recently to update the software?

It supports KJ2, so maybe ICS is a problem(( But at the same time it supports ICS on other devices.

I think the usb update mailed for Ford is for later models (or mine hasn't arrived yet). For the 2010 there was only one update showing (Sync My Ride) and it was already installed when I purchased the truck.
No question the Ford Sync is "twitchy". My former phone (Atrix) would disconnect the btooth intermittently when streaming Slacker and would skip, often. I haven not (knock on wood) had these problems and I use the steering wheel control to skip songs.

yea my Edge is 2011, I got the update like a month ago, but everything was working fine.
Well I hope it's the leak issue, or I'll have to go back to GB, or run a Sean's older ICS with no deep sleep, can;t not have phone in the car and have music mess up my USB.
Since EMBRYO was mentioned. Anyways, I can only comment on FORD Sync (since the other one drives the edge). Make sure you have the latest Sync Update that rolled out couple of months ago (I believe it is v 3.2.2, I will have to double check). I have had zero issues, connecting with BT as fars as voice calling goes (of course on EMBRYO 2.3), but then I don't use the Car daily. With Embryo 2.3, you should be able to send text message not that useful unless you use the prebuilt templates, that comes with the UCLD2 base. I am looking into what it takes to get full MAP support in the next update, no promises, I need time. Also, I have not streamed music through so can't say. Also, the device recognizes PAN BT tethering, but the sync craps out, I am suspecting it is SYNC issue.

Wow, much appreciated mohan, I do drive the Ford Edge it has SYNC on it, they call it My Touch or something. Is that different then in your car? I did get the update on USB and it's installed, not sure which version. I am making an appointment for the dealer to reinstall it as well. I found a Sync PDF
The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.
I would defiantly flash your ROM right now would you recommend UCLD2 or the other Kernel for this? no matter what files I delete in root or how I rename the phone, BT Stereo still connect to the name of the phone I had a while back. How can I just format everything and do a fresh install of your ROM, I mean like everything? or that would mass it up?
I am even willing to go to Stock GB tar and then root and do everything again.
I found this PDF, Ford Sync only supports KJ2 on skyrocket, have no idea what that means
http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/sync/usEN/sync_us_EN_iop_2_00.pdf
Also, I hope I did not do anything wrong here or offender anyone by Mentioning Embryo as a possible fix.

See the ROM post #3 (question 1) for a fresh flash. I would highly recommend it, whichever ICS ROM you flash.

Possibly, but not for everyone.
In my case, I can feel the phone crashing DURING the initial bluetooth connection to my car stereo. The phone actually vibrates a few times while I'm setting up the pair connection.
But it stays connected until I start up iHeart Radio or Pandora or any other Internet Radio.
I don't use Music Player for anything and have never tested it either.
I'm having a similar problem connecting my phone's Bluetooth to my JVC stereo. When I turn on bluetooth, the phone is fine, but once I pair it (media and phone), it vibrates, works for about 10-15 seconds, then restarts the bluetooth. When it restarts, it is not paired by default, but if I re-pair only the media to the JVC, it works perfectly. It seems to be a problem with using bluetooth for the phone.
I've been using Sky ICS (through update 10), and none of the fixes posted before have worked (including freezing the stock music app). And for the record, Embryo 2.3 has the exact same problem with my handset and stereo.
EDIT: Correction above. I was able to get media to work once using the method described above, but I was not able to repeat this.
I can confirm that Sky ICS UCLC4 4.2-A-9 solves all of the Bluetooth problems that I have been having with both phone and media pairing to my JVC stereo. Note that this is the outdated UCLC4 ROM. I haven't found any UCLD2 ROMs that fix the BT issues for me yet, but I hope one of them does soon.

yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.
This thread specified only Second Leak.
It's been confirmed that if you follow mohan's instructions to do a fresh install in Embryo 2.3 and I mean oneclick and the rest, everything will work great on UCLD2. I have not done it yet myself, no time, but soon hopefully today.

yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.

IT"S A BUG on all three leaks.
You may not experience it at all, it ma only happen once in a while, or every minute, it can fix itself for some time.
Nothing is possible, just need to hope Rogers Official Release will work. (when it comes out)

i was one of the people having issues with bluetooth in the car and after updating to UCLE2 i no longer have any issues what so ever.

Solved: ICS Bluetooth Auto-connect issue for Phone profile

Solved - Finally following setup works for me
No ICS Roms worked for me, but following ROM is working perfectly. I have tried for a day and no issue. As soon as I start my car bluetooth connected and BOTH Phone and Media Profiles remain connected. Audio Track information displays perfectly!!
XDA Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621679
ROM: Skyrocket CM9 RC 2: cm-9.0.0-RC2-skyrocket.zip
Radio: Radio for AT&T and Rogers: Radio_RIL__I727UCLE2.zip
Bluetooth Device: Car Honda CRV 2012
Background:
1) I have two bluetooth devices that I use with my phone. Blueant Q2 bluetooth headset and Bluetooth enabled car audio system in Honda CRV (factory not after market)
Note: This works fine in all GB ROMS
Behavior
1) Bluetooth is different in GB and ICS. Go to Settings => Bluetooth and look at Paired Devices.
- In ICS you will see a Settings wheel next to Device Name. Click on that and you can see "Phone" and "Media" Profiles.
- GB does not have these profiles separate.
See attached image for the state of Phone and Media profiles after I start my car.
2) Bluetooth "Phone" Profile does not auto-connect. "Media" Profile auto connects and works fine. I need to go to Bluetooth => Settings => Click on wheel next to Device Name => Check the checkbox next to "Phone" profile everytime to connect the phone and send-recieve calls using Bluetooth.
3) Steps to duplicate the issue
I see bluetooth icon seeing it connect
Few seconds later I see message "Samsung SGS ..... has been disconnected"
At this time "Media" is connected and "Phone" profile is not. In Honda it shows that Phone is disconnected (even though "Media" is connected and Music plays fine
Finally If I try to connect to Phone via Honda it always fails. But if I open Bluetooth settings and select "Phone" profile it connects and remains connected.
More Information
My guess it that in GB there were no separate "Phone" and "Media" profiles. Phone would just connect to car or headset via BT and stay connected. With ICS the phone is initiating two processes. First Phone profile connects and within few seconds when Media profiles tries to connect. This somehow throws off my Car and my BlueAnt Q2 BT and it drop the BT Phone profile connection

Bluetooth
New public methods fetchUuidsWithSdp() and getUuids() let apps determine the features (UUIDs) supported by a remote device. In the case of fetchUuidsWithSdp(), the system performs a service discovery on the remote device to get the UUIDs supported, then broadcasts the result in an ACTION_UUID intent.

I have the EXACT same issues with my 2012 Honda CRV (Non nav). (well, I’m working on this on behalf of a friend, so their car)I hooked it up to another my car with a Pioneer Avic X920bt head unit, and it was doing the same thing. I then did a firmware upgrade and initialization through KIES and now my Avic loads up, but the Honda is doing the same thing still. Although, before I did the wipe the Honda would disconnect and reconnect randomly and it would take forever for the phone profile to connect and it looked like the bluetooth would turn on and off and “freak out”. So far it seems stable, but I have yet to have much time with it.

I have 2012 CRV as well. Looks like Bluetooth has changed for ics and some devices don't like it

I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4 that worked perfectly fine. Both profiles reconnect upon turning a car on and off. I wonder if Honda is detecting the kind of phone and sending the way to connect based on that and not by what OS version it is. Just a complete guess. Also, I tried with a T mobile Galaxy S II and the same thing occurs on it's ICS update.

Thanks. Do you mean to say that everything works with T mobile Galaxy S II or you see same issue I am experiencing with it?
Here is what I see with Honda after I sit in the car and turn on the car.
I see bluetooth icon seeing it connect
Few seconds later I see message "Samsung SGS ..... has been disconnected"
At this time "Media" is connected and "Phone" profile is not. In Honda it shows that Phone is disconnected (even though "Media" is connected and Music plays fine

Sorry, T-mobile Galaxy S II does same thing as the Skyrocket. Yup, same thing..honda says connection failed when trying to connect through the car. I sent Honda an email and all I got was a generic responce about turning your wifi off and repairing.
Same behavior with Infiniti G37S
I have the same behavior of my AT&T Skyrocket with SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.1 and 2011 Infiniti G37S. It is driving me nuts that I have to manually reconnect Bluetooth every time. Furthermore, it tends to disconnect Bluetooth randomly and I have to reconnect it again.

It would be great if one of the dev can find a way to install GB Bluetooth files on ICS. GB worked perfectly for me.
A Google search shows a lot of people have the exact same problem. It might be safe to say that this is a known problem and hopefully it will be resolved soon..

I have the same problem with my Clarion deck. But only when I use a custom kernel. Works fine with a stock rogers one

I have more confidence in our dev's fixing this or finding a work around. It might be as easy as replacing ICS BT libraries with GB ones. However I am unable to get their attention.
I have the same issue but with a Dice Mediabridge installed in my BMW. Works for about 10 min then drops, will reconnect with a reboot. My Jawbone Icon stays connected and works fine, but that just had a recent firmware update. I hope this is resolved soon.
Finally a ICS Rom that works for me - see OP
So, what is so different in that ROM? How can the 'fix' from that ROM be applied onto other ROMs?

CM9 is pure google. No junk from AT&T
Works on CM9
It works perfectly on CM9 builds - I'd hope other ROMs can be modified as well...

It works for some time like a week and them boom same problem.
I am on FORD EDGE, rogers.
BUMP: Still have issue
The last poster says issue comes back even running ROM. I have been dealing with this most annoying issue and still have it. I noticed when i uninstall Pandora app, its goes away. Seems to be a bug in the bluetooth stack and Pandora. Were you guys running Pandora at the time? Seems weird this thread just died with no resolution. Anybody care to explain to me what the fix is if any? does this problem follow the Galaxy S4? I am using an LG HBS-700 earpiece but it did the same thing on my Plantronics. is there a Jellybean available for this version? if so, ATT has not released it for over the air. Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestion, it was actually helpful but as far as the comment about the age of thread.. if someone is suffering from the exact problem i dont think it matters much.
So, I wanted to let anyone else struggling with this bluetooth issue what worked for me. I downloaded and installed Samsung KIES software on my PC as suggested above, performed a full backup of phone and made sure it was fully charged. Now, there will be an upgrade to JellyBean from within KIES. UPGRADE! after upgrade perform a restore and most all your stuff comes back.
** A few of my games/apps installed on my SD Card kept uninstalling itself. this is a bug in JB. Go to Settings, APPS, and move the app to your phone memory and that fixes it. **
Other than that, i have been running the update for a couple of weeks without all the annoying bluetooth issues and its like having a new phone!!! LOVE THE UPDATE.
Only issue is i have more battery drain than before. i have read that installing Jellybean clean install fixed that but will have to research how to do that. Good luck.. hope this helps someone else.
P.S. this is update is NOT available over the air, so dont look for it from your phone. only the KIES software gets you this update.
