1) Has anybody noticed that T-Mobile disappeared from signal bar? I live close to the Canadian border and without the logo I don't know when my Phone is roaming. I guess I will have to wait and find out when I would receive my bill.
2) Can anyone confirm that audio in Samsung car mount works after the 2.3 update? As we know it didn't support 2.2, I would like to purchase Samsung car mount but audio connectivity is a necessity for me. If someone could please confirm this, I would highly appreciate it.
Tmobile shows up for me just fine.
Can't help you with the car dock.

I have not had any luck with the car dock with 2.3. I think they forgot to add it in with the update. I just modified my mount and removed the electronics and I plug the USB and aux cable directly into the phone. It was six screws and I saved the parts in hopes that someone figures out how to fix the problem.

Okay.. I know. This is my first post, but don't use that to determine the validity of the information.
I've been on here for months, just didn't have anything useful to contribute until now.
Switched from rooted Gingerbread MT3G to G2x - was pretty excited till the bluetooth issues set in.
Didn't have the random reboots like everyone else. I think that happened once in my pocket... not thing to write home about there. This damn bluetooth was killing me though. Like a bad toothache badly in need of a root canal. Every time I picked up the phone I was reminded how beautiful but flawed this is.
So my search began. Poured over LG forums, T-Mobile and Google searches, compiling information. It became clear that this didn't seem like a hardware issue. The crappy Andriod 2.2 shipped with the phone was the issue. To me it seemed like this wasn't fully tested before shipping. Has sold tens of thousands of these phones and were largely unaware of the issue - the techs were surprised when the reports came in - mainly from US based customers on T-Mobile. In my quest I stumbled across an app that reported to fix a similar issue on a few other phones and gave it a shot, and it worked. So real simple here you go:
1. Root your phone, if you haven't already done so. I did with a heavy heart. Was waiting to do so but this issue was driving me nuts.. I used these scripts to Mac and Linux (I'm a unix guy):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048309
2. Download, from the market, and run, the following app:
>>>> Bluetooth Fix Repair <<<<
That's it!!
Here's what I did to test:
a. Left headset on, power cycled phone
b. Left phone on, power cycled headset
c. Out of range disconnect on head set, then moved back in range - successfully placed call.
d. Received call from a fresh connect, force range disconnect, then reconnect - successfully received call.
e. Disconnected headset from phone menu, then reconnected, placed call successfully.
f. Left headset and phone on for hours, multiple disconnect/reconnect - successfully placed calls.
I'm using a Blueant Q1, with the Blueant app from the market - BTW.
All seems to be well so far.. Give it a shot

What were the issues you had? My bluetooth seems to work fine, except the volume seems low and of course it helps to drain the already short battery life -- sorry, don't mean to be adding another battery rant!

My battery life is fine. Lasts the whole day and then some. Check the running apps and kill the unnecessary tmobile apps and anything else that you don't need. Another way to save battery is to drop the data rate down to 2G. Settings --> Wireless & Networks ---> Mobile Nets --> Use 2G. I know, defeats purpose of having 4g, but it works fine for email and IM.
Bluetooth issue:
Bluetooth disconnects and doesn't reconnect. Only way to resolve is to power cycle phone. Sometimes it would indicate that it was connected where it wasn't. Multiple folks have the same issue. Doesn't seem to matter whether it's a headset or car bluetooth.. same issue.

Wish I had the time to get into the ROMs. Don't know how you guys do it..
Returned the original G2x today and got another. Well, bluetooth is jacked on this one also. You know, I shouldn't have to be messing with this damn thing I paid $300 for. It should work.. The right thing for T-Mobile to do is recall the G2x and replace it the new dual core nexus for affected users. This phone is a piece of shyte.
The BT fix was short lived My bluetooth must have disconnected half a dozen times today. Very frustrating.

I have a Blueant Q2 that collects dust because it is useless trying reconnect it every time it disconnects (far too often) while I'm driving, what's the point? Bluetooth is a fail on the G2X.
So the damn bt issue is still not resolved.

ICS fixes the BT issue... but how? And can it be done for previous versions too?
I have tried the ICS CM9 and it seems to fix this BT issue. Not sure how it happens. Can one of the developers comment and maybe implement the fix in their ROM as well?

It works in the SK ICS builds.
I know it is an old thread but would like to share my experience here.
My only desire was to have the bluetooth not disconnect without announcing the disconnect. I saw this issue in GB 2.3.3 and below and saw it fixed on 2.3.4 and above, only to see another issue (no mute via bluetooth) crop up.
I have, however, by sheer luck and burning hours at it managed to fix it for 2.3.3. Haven't tried to see if it fixes the mute problem yet. I am satisfied with Weapon G2x 3.0 R1 .
Here is the link to my post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590523. Note that you will loose everything in the internal SD card so be prepared. It seems that the disconnect problem has its root in another partition (other than /data, /system and /cache). I have been problem free for almost 3 weeks now.
Will try with 2.3.4 and above later to see if the mute issue gets fixed too .
Try at your own risk and post results as you find. The reference thread in the post can be used to create an out of the box G2x with T-Mobile ROM so no chance of bricking (I believe this phone is unbrickable ).

All these new roms are amzing however, Hellfire Sandwitch and Pheonix both have this damn Bluetooth issue. I go to make a call and no sound comes to the bluetooth except some static and then it goes away. I hear nothing. I switch to speaker phone and I hear the dialtone on that. What the heck is going on with the bluetooth on these roms? Both ICS and GB share the same problem. I'm using that fix posted on the forums that makes any rom work with the new march 2012 BB update.

check the irl too?
No haven't done that. Not sure how you mess with the irl. I know it has something to do with baseband. But I don't think it has anything to do with Bluetooth?
Hi everyone, I hope I am not wasting your time with this question but I have just gone out and bought a Q2 Blueant headset and I have a HTC desire HD, on the side of the box it says it works with android and the guy at the shop said it works great..........the thing is if I say phone commands it says this phone is not supported, I have installed Vlingo and it does not pick up on my voice unless i speak into the phone and it just does not want to use the headset even though in the box the headset comes with says to use Vlingo with it!!! I don't get it!!
I have made sure the voicedialer.apk works and it does but not through the headset either, is there something I am missing? its driving me up the wall!!
Cheers for any help everyone.
If anyone can help at all it would be awesome, the people at vlingo are just emailing me what info they have on their site even though I asked them not to do that.....probably why they are doing it and blueant still won't get back to me. Someone else has to have tried to use Bluetooth.....

Have you downloaded the blueant app? I have the Q1 and the T1 and they both work without issue. Also are you on a custom rom?
Thanks for the reply,
Yeah I have tried 2 custom roms now android revolution and core droid, I just want the headset to do more than answer and decline calls, I want full hands free feature with this thing, I have already gotten a $350 fine for using my phone so I bought the q2 which says it does all this and then when I say phone commands into the headset it just says this phone is not supported, I have gone through all the settings I can think of and nothing!
If there is a Rom you know of that will work perfect then Ill install that, I don't care what rom I am using I just want to be able to do my work while driving and any email I send to blueant or vlingo gets me nowhere.
EDIT: Yeah I downloaded the blueant app, it has done nothing for me unfortunately

Not real sure to be honest. I use it only for phone calls. I don't even have it read texts as that can be trouble causing. One of the main issues that when the screen is locked nothing will work till it is unlocked. What you are wanting may not be possible at the present time. Ill test a few things out on my end and see what I can find. But no promises
Cheers mate,
Ill be interested to know if yours works.
I did just get this email from Vlingo also.
"Hello
Thank you for contacting Vlingo Customer Support.
Our most recent 3.5 patch seems to have corrupted Vlingo's Bluetooth compatibility. We are currently investigating this matter and work to reproduce the issue you have reported to us. I regret that I am unable to provide you with a concise solution to resolve this matter at this time. Nonetheless, please be aware that our QA engineers are aware of the problem and will be testing to identify the issue. We hope to resolve the problem in a timely manner. If we are able to repair the issue, we will deploy the fix in a future version release.
We appreciate you brining this issue to our attention and apologize that our recent 3.5 build has caused issues with Bluetooth. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best regards,"
But why my headset says my phone is not supported I still don't know.
One of the biggest issues I have found is the lock screen. Once locked it doesn't allow any commands untilled unlocked.
That wont bother me too much, when im in the car its connected to USB and it will be unlocked most of the time.
i have a headset that i want to pair with my Charge, but for some reason when i try to pair it, it keeps telling me that the device returned a code that was incorrect,
first off the headset has no method of input, and second the phone never asked for a code, ive searched everywhere and cant find answers just people with the same issue that just decide to give up and get a new headset.
the Issue was there since EE4 (the version my phone had when i purchased it at the VZ store)
I now have EP4 with tweakstock, tried it with stock rom and still same issue
I know that the 2.1 should automatically exchange the codes is there a way to manually put in the code to the charge?
the head set works fine on a flip phone my brother uses, and im not sure if this is specific to the droid charge, or if this is Android in general as i dont have any way to test it.
any suggestions other than "buy a new one" would be great
oh come on! anyone?
See if another, newer headset has the same problem. If it happens again, it's the phone's bluetooth. If it pairs successfully then it's just an incompatible headset.
Really, there's no other way of testing. Just because one headset works with one phone, doesn't mean it'll work with another, but this isn't a common problem since Bluetooth headsets are mostly universal.

there is a major bug on jellybean with this tablet where the otg will stop working and you have to reboot to fix the problem, can a app like USB OTG Helper get around this problem?
and please don't reply and say your otg works fine, you are not helping me by saying that, i want a solution & help with this problem, not a "works fine for me, not sure what you are talking about herpy derp" its really annoying and doesn't help my cause, just don't reply if you are going to say that.
so anyways, anyone installed this app on jellybean and have no lockups with the otg? please post on this topic, or if you know any other solutions or apps that can help that would be nice, just that i want to update to jellybean to get the feature to turn of notifications for apps, i get spammed to death by it and its really annoying. if nothing comes from this topic then i will just have to stay on ics till 4.3 or 4.2 comes (if that ever happens that is)

What is otg
Could you tell us what the model number of the tablet is, root status, and software version?
I am having the same problem. However, the issue is not universal, i.e.: not all notes suffer from this problem. Sofar, it is not even clear to me whether the problem is hardware or software related. E.g.: my Note has Android 4.1.2 installed and USB only works once after a reboot (that is with the official Samsung adapters). I did try my adapters with a different Note, where they worked perfectly, but that tablet was running 4.1.1.
I have not tried OTG Helper, as I do not want to root my tablet (too risky with possible curious little fingers around), but I have just received a return ticket from Amazon Germany for a repair and/or replacement. If the replacement works, while running 4.1.2, I am much more inclined to call this a hardware failure, in which case no helper app can save you. I shall keep the forum informed...

if it was a hardware problem then my otg adaptor wouldn't work on ics would it? it's a software problem on jellybean, hence the reason i created this topic.
i've found solution to the problem and will leave this for anyone who needs it, basically sixaxis app and a dual shock 3 controller and root, you only need to connect the usb otg once and it registers the mac code from the controller with your tablet, after that you can play wirelessly without cables so the otg problem is completely bypassed, i'm happy because i can finally leave ice cream sandwich behind and enjoy jellybean on my tablet finally, i just wish someone told me this ages ago and i wouldn't have been stuck on ice cream sandwich for so long, yay! time to celebrate lol
started a bug report with android. Please help get this fixed
I started a bug report for this with android. Please go and star it for importance so that it gets fixed. If you got it working please go and say what you have/did to have usb otg working with 4.1.2.
