Cannot pair with bluetooth headset (jawbone + EB Froyo) - T-Mobile LG G2x

I searched but found nothing in relation exactly. So this is kindof weird, thats why I'm posting. I searched through google, LG forums, jawbone forums and t-mobile forums, nothing exactly in relation (especially dealing with multiple ROM's) or any type of fix to a related issue.
So, I have a jawbone 2 headset device. Stock before I did anything, it paired. Diddnt use it for a while their, and then stared flashing some ROM's. I mainly used cm7 based rom's and paired my headset just fine, very easily actually and fast. I'm having proximity sensor issues, so I had to revert back to a froyo build (EB right now) but the same goes for ultimate rom.
Every time I try and connect initially, i get a force close on the settings. (when jawbone is in pairing mode) Then its in the list of bt connections of course, and i try and re-connect it and it spits out: Their was a problem pairing with Jawbone because the PIN or Passkey is incorrect. Now I havnt been able to find out how to either change the key or the pass. The key is the default 0000, I have even reset the jawbone to when I turn it on, its in auto pair mode. I have done hard-reboots, battery out's almost everything I can think of
So I'm stuck, any information would be completely awesome, and I hope its not super easy... Well I do, but it will not credit my intelligence.

There's no answer in this old thread but I am having the exact same issue. It's happening on 2 different phones with different ROMs (Bionix and Weapon). I had the issue before on Weapon 2.8 so I downgraded to 2.7 and it was working. I then when reset my headset to connect it to the other phone, and it's giving me the problem again. Has anyone solved this? I am using a Blu Ant Q2, is that a bad device for this phone? Thanks.

Pairing SGS3 to Jawbone
So frustrating. Hours spent on this. Have 2 Jawbone II s and neither will pair with Samsung Gal S3. Soooooo frustrating. No answers on web to date. Have tried reset of Jawbone. Tried holding TALK button. Tried pairing in every way. No success. Sgs3 does detect many things but not Jawbone. Please answer. [email protected]. Thankyou out loud!!!!!!

Bluetooth headset profile

Guys,
I did search through the forum and I found several users with the following problem but no solution yet.
I use a bluetooth headset a lot (not a stereo, just a regular one!) and when I answer a call, people on the other side can not hear me. I have to go to bluetooth setting and do "Set as handfree" on the device so that it works again.
But it only works for a couple of minutes! The next call that I use my headset I need to do it again.
Is there a solution for this?
PS: My bluetooth headset is a Motorola H700.

I use a Plantronics 510 (or something like that) and I haven't had any problems with WM6 disconnecting from it like you describe. I have went to answer the phone with it a couple of times and it didn't seem to be linked up, but I just press the button on the headset and it links right up and then answers the call on the next press. But thats only happened a couple of times and I think each of those times I had walked away from my phone so probably went out of range (so I'm guessing the phone just hadn't noticed the BT headset being in range yet).
Try deleting the partnership and setting it up again after a soft reset.
I too have a Plantronics Voyager I think its called and I have not had this problem. I tossed my Motorola BT because the audio level was way too low on it.

I tried that and it did not work... Thanks for trying anyway...
Did you try when you tick the hands free that you used the enter button on the D pad instead of the other button?

I've reported the same issue with Farias ROM I am using WM6. I use a Plantronics, have to keep going back and selecting it as the handsfree.
Don't know if it a WM6 problem or a Faria problem...annoying I know.

hey.... it worked!!!! At least so far! :-D
I have repaired the headset (but I tried that several times in the past!) and untick the hands free and ticked it again and now I have tried several times and it seems that it is working.
I do not understand way. Can you explain I this non-sense procedure solves the problem
I had a little problem pairing my Plantronics Explorer 340 with my device, but after the pairing, it did work without any problems. apparently some WM6 roms out thre are having this issue. I would suggest re-flash your device and se how it works
I have a Plantronics 655 and don't have this problem. The only thing out of the ordinary that I do when pairing though is re-name the headset (defaults to 6xxPlantronics, I change it to Plantronics 655)
However, I experience a slightly different problem. My BT headset and handset don't automatically re-pair after returning in range or resetting the handset. Anyone else experiencing this?
Everytime I walk out of range or reset my phone, I would have to turn off my headset then turn it back on for the two to pair back up. I sometimes forget and when I hear the handset ring, I pick up w/ the headset only to find that they're no longer paired. Is there a way to have the two automatically pair back up? I never had this problem when I was using AKU3 roms and the stock Cingular 2.25 ROM.

Jabr BT250v Bluetooth Troubles

I'm having trouble with my Jabra BT250v and my Fuze. The Jabra always worked perfectly with my Nokia phone so I don't believe it's a problem with the unit. The first oddity I noticed is that it paired automatically without asking for a code. After researching this I found out that the new Bluetooth driver does this by design with non secure items like headsets and such by trying a series of commonly used codes like "0000", "1234". That's all good and well, and it does seem to pair up, but I've read that other devices have trouble being bombarded with codes like that and even though it shows up as paired, it doesn't work. I'm not sure if this is the cause of my problem or not, but is the only obvious thing I could pick out.
I've tried putting the ear piece back into the charging cradle to reset it before trying to pair it. I've tried the standard pairing procedure by turning the device on by holding the power button for 8+ seconds until the light goes solid. I've tried the alternate method of holding both the power and volume up button to pair it in the handsfree mode. I've manually set it to handsfree mode once the device is listed on the phone. I'm really out of things to try to get this going.
Basically it pairs and all looks good but I don't get any sound out of the unit and trying to initiate a call or redial does nothing. The phone just keeps going as if it never paired up at all. I'm hoping someone has some more ideas I could try as I would really like to get this working. I wasn't sure if there was a way to just re-install the Bluetooth stack, or even an alternate Bluetooth driver I could try. If it does have something to do with the auto-pairing feature, does anyone know how to disable this? I'm willing to try damn near anything that can help me pinpoint the problem. I haven't been able to locate any Bluetooth troubleshooting tools and even looked at the service manual, but they just put it through a simple test and it doesn't delve into anything deeper.
Lastly I should mention that I am able to use Active Sync over Bluetooth with my laptop and it does ask for a pairing code so I'm really stumped. I guess it is a possibility that the Jabra is messing up since I last used it with my Nokia about 2 weeks ago, it just seems highly unlikely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Eidolen

Bluetooth issues

I know there are some Bluetooth issues, but I haven't seen any petaining to just regular headsets. I have a Jabra JX 10 (original model), and I can pair it, but it disconnects as soon as I try to make a call. It's the best headset I've ever used, so I would really like this to work. I have tried removing it, doing a soft reset, re-pairing it, but no joy. Any suggestions to get this to work? I have a Telus TP2. TIA.
From memory, last time I used a Jabra, you can set it up in 2 Handsfree modes.
I cant remember exactly what to do, but try switching it into the other mode.

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?

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.

Disappearing Bluetooth Settings?

Is this happening to anyone else? I changed the device name and added a couple of paired devices. Everything works great for a while. Then if I turn Bluetooth off, the settings revert to stock. When I reboot the phone, my settings reappear. Strange.
With Bluetooth off, my paired devices don't appear in Bluetooth Settings. When I turn Bluetooth back on, they are there, just as I had paired them. I guess that's the way it's supposed to work? I never looked at the settings with Bluetooth off, only when it was on, with my former phone, so I don't know if it's different for the G2x or not.
I want to just chime in and say I cant even pair it with my car (2011 Subaru) I go through the setup and when it gets ready to ask for the PIN, the phone says 'Unable to pair, incorrect PIN.' without me even getting a chance to enter it...maybe the BT has some quirks? (My N1 BT was flawless, and this is by no means a deal killer for me)

Mine does the same thing (2011 Infiniti) but after the fail, a pop-up appears on the phone asking me for the PIN and then it pairs.
Resurrecting an old thread, my bluetooth settings all vanished yesterday, and turning off and on the bluetooth power did not restore them. It took a reboot. First time that's happened to me since I've had the phone (April 20).
This seems to be a pattern: things degrade over time. Either the GPS won't get a fix, or Wi-Fi Calling won't connect, or the browser gets very slow, or now the bluetooth settings vanish, and a reboot makes things work right again. This smells a lot like a heap management bug to me -- corruption, or fragmentation, or leak. I hope things are better after the Gingerbread/bug-fix update that's supposedly coming soon.

+1 Definitely some poor memory management in the stock kernel is to blame for this.
Try this for a bluetooth fix.. worth a shot...

I am also having an odd BT issue. The phone pairs just fine with my 2009 Infiniti, most of the time. What i have found is that the phone decides to occassionally change its bluetooth address. After a reboot, it goes back to the original BT address that was originally paired with the car. This is kind of weird, no? Why would the phone change its BT addresss on its own?
I've seen this happen to me too. The address is part of firmware so its possible to change it just not sure why it is.

I am having same issue on lexus rx350, it will pair and then next day it will not find the g2x. you will have to reboot the phone, disable and enable Bluetooth to get it back or delete the profile and re enter/pair it again.
Fix(es) for Bluetooth dropping and re-pairing on Subaru and Gingerbread question
Had bluetooth settings vanish from my Subaru using lg g2x, but a bit of the history on this might add something to this discussion.
My G2x would not connect with the Subaru. Unlike another android phone the salesman had, no keyboard screen popped up so that the 1234 code could be entered. Called LG, TMobile, no help at all. LG rep was particularly hostile about this, not even seeming to understand/care about what I was explaining. Contacted Subaru corporate who suggested that the G2x had a preset 0000 code that could not be changed, so I needed to change the code on the Subaru bluetooth with another android phone, as described on the last few pages of the bluetooth section of the Subaru manual. So, paired another Android phone using 1234, unpaired that phone, and reset code to 0000 with that phone. G2x now paired rather easily.
Then, phone wouldn't even recognize Subaru bluetooth; 2 days later, spontaneously returned. Several weeks later, again vanished and wouldn't come back. Paired another phone, deleted my phone, repaired my phone, ok for now. The code remained 0000 throughout the process.
Next time this happens, I will delete my phone from the Subaru and go through the pairing process again to see what happens.
I will try the reboot the next time this returns. I appreciate this potential fix. Will alos try the repair program. My phone is not rooted.
In the meantime, can anyone tell me if a Gingerbread install will allow a keyboard to pop up so that different devices using 1234 or 0000 can be paired, and if the phone can handle pairings with 2 or more devices having different codes? Why doesn't a keyboard pop-up to allow this as it does on other Android phones?

The LG Gingerbread release did nothing to the bluetooth drivers that are in the Froyo release. Whatever you get on Froyo (including frequent disconnects) will remain in Gingerbread.
I do not have a Subaru, but with my Land Rover if I try to pair the G2x with the car by having the phone discover the car, I do not get a keyboard popup on the phone.
However, if I have the car discover the phone the car gives me the code to enter and the G2x will give me a popup screen on which to enter the code.
The above has been my experience with using either froyo roms or gb roms.
Reconnecting Subaru bluetooth
Previously described my problems and fix for Subaru bluetooth and G2x. Attempts to fix latest disconnect included hard reboot which did not work.
So, I deleted my phone and reconnected like it was a new phone.
I discovered that the keyboard for entry of the 0000 password I had previously changed my Subaru to now popped up for the first time and I entered 0000. I was told by a bluetooth "pro" that there are two distinct conditions 1) pairing the phone to the car and 2) pairing the car to the phone. When the phone pairs to the car, the android password keyboard pops up. When the car is paired to the phone, it doesn't and it apparently assumes the default passwords are the same; if they aren't, no pairing.
This seems correct to me because of the many reports/complaints I've read about the password keyboard not showing up and its sudden appearance on mine. I guess if you can get the sequence right for pairing the phone to the car (rather than pairing the car to the phone) the android password keyboard will pop up and a 1234 password could be successfully used for vehicles that seem unable to connect because of G2x's default 0000 password.
Useful info for some?
