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 am issue where my blueant q2 headset says its connected but calls are not routed through the headset if my phone is left idle (no calls) for 5 min or more. Anyone else having the same issue?
I can toggle Bluetooth off and on and do the same on my headset and reconnect, it just never works if I'm not on a call and the phone has been sitting. Not very practical while driving.

I have a Q2 and it works fine, great actually. Have you downloaded the BlueAnt Android app? See if it helps.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mijqgkknore
P.S. - It says Q1 but recognizes the headset as a Q2
I've been encountering the same thing with my z9i. Sometimes it will last a while and I'll be able to pick up and use it but most of the time it will "lock up" and I'll have to toggle the bluetooth on the phone. It's definitely an annoyance.
I will try the app and see if it helps. Anyone else having this issue?

I can't get the Q2 to connect any calls whatsoever, OP did you solve the problem, I'm just about to return this thing if it won't work.

For me, it wasn't the Q2 it was the flaky Bluetooth in the ROM. It would work great with my headset and in the car and then, with nothing changed on either side, would stop working. Rebooting helped sometimes but it never stayed working consistently without some type of intervention.
I have the q2 as well and g2x connects and works but the problem here is the g2x Bluetooth driver itself. If they release GB and still not get this working i will never buy another lg phone. My next phone will definitely be a nexus with all these manufacturer's not getting their act together

LG is definitely making a case with me to go Nexus too, Google needs to get it together and force action with these companies, "no updates, no android for you".

I have made up my mind. Next year it will be a Nexus device. Done with all these company starting with Sony. First was the Xperia X1. Paid top dollar for that phone and sony lied and never gave it an update. Next was Nokia N900 and just as usually one or two update (can't remmember anymore) and the drop the device and left everyone in the dark. No i come over to LG and all we get from them is soon, this summer.... I have had it with all these companies. I would have had the Nexus S if not for the fact that i needed external SD card. The sensation is looking better more and more everyday to me even with its issues atleast we will get support from HTC. If they don't release this damn update before July is over then we all are really screwed. Now if they release GB and we still have Bluetooth issues and phone reboot or other issues that we currently have, then LG will go down big time. If they release GB and CM7 can not get their new driver working on it then WE ARE REALLY screwed and i for sure will really quickly look into getting rid of the G2x asap.
PS: all their top end devices that just came out all have Froyo. LG what are you guys really thinking. Seriously my suspicion is this. If we get GB i think that will be that LAST update we get from LG. I really hope CM7 can get the new driver to work with GB.

Seriously with all their to devices launching with froyo we can see lgs commitment to the latest software.lg should get out of the game it's obvious they don't know how to play.

Yes I fixed it. The buggy gingerbread leak and cm7 roms both fix the issue for calls. No more disconnects after it sits do a while. There definitely is an issue with the stock froyo and froyo based roms. Hope that helps.

I flashed EB 1.05 GB 2.3.3 last night and spent the day driving using my Q2 without any problems at all. It even played music and I could make and receive calls with it.

How long did you test this? have the phone and BT connected for couple hours and see if it looses sound? mine looses sound in less than 2hrs. The new one i picked up today did it in less than 30mins. I am just about to give up on the G2x.

I used it for over an hour listening to my siriusxm apparently and making calls. No issues.

No, not long enough.... Leave BT on and Q2 on. You don't have to listen to music or make calls. Keep checking it by playing a music every 30mins or so and see if it works. During all my test it seems like 2hrs and 30min in, it will lock up. I ended up giving up on G2x because i know it is where the problem is and do not trust WE will ever see another update from LG. I don't want what happened to me with my Nokia N900 to repeat itself. I got the Sensation and boy, it just works. Battery life is unbelievable.
PS: BT worked like it is suppose to.
Has anyone else been having trouble with the mic? Sometimes when I try to do a voice search my phone doesn't hear me. Nothing to do with noisy environment or anything...just doesn't seem to be on or something.
Recently I installed Vlingo since they finally fixed it for the Sensation. At first it worked fine. Then the next time I tried it I got nothing. When I started a search manually, Vlingo has a sound meter-like graphic and it was like it was picking up lots of noise! Normally, this meter would have nothing visible until you speak but it was as if it was picking up lots of noise or something.
It seems random when my mic seems to fail or not.
Anyone have any ideas???
Hmm, not quite sure what is wrong, this phone is cool, but has all sorts of problems...
I hear HTC is good about replacing your phone though, shoot HTC an email, or call them, I've heard they are very nice about hooking people up with a brand new one at no cost.
May as well try it!
(Please hit thanks if I helped you! Just takes a second!)
I had the same experience with Vlingo recently. Love the app, but they haven't seemed to work out all the bugs. Are you on stock or custom ROM?
Stock T-Mobile. I wonder if it's a Vlingo thing?
I have other issues with the phone (Sense 3.0 keeps rebooting, etc.) but I guess that's for another thread...me too. Love the phone but...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but did you ever find a solution to this? I seem to be having a similar problem with my microphone but I'm not even using Vlingo...
I recently got my MyTouch4g Slide. I used Revolutionary tool to S-OFF the device, and all was well.
After a day of usage, I began using the Bluetooth hands free in my 2010 Chevy Equinox. The connection synchronizes, no problem. All the hands free buttons work, and everything appears functional. However -- I have no audio, either mic. or speakers, from the bluetooth. I have to activate the handset to have a conversation, rendering the bluetooth useless.
Before I reached out to anyone, I performed the RUU installation from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178082. It reverted my hboot, system, etc back to stock. However -- it is still S-OFF. So how do we get S-ON back on this phone?
Regarding the bluetooth -- I began escalating to Tmobile and GM. GM said there's nothing wrong with my Bluetooth (it works with all my previous 3 phones OK). Tmobile says this is not a known issue.
I called HTC support, and they said it sounds like a phone hardware issue with the phone.
I would like to know two things, which I cannot find searching the MT4G Slide forums:
* How can S-ON be restored? (I thought the RUU would handle this). I want to know in case I have to send it back to HTC.
* Has anyone had these bluetooth problems, before I send it in for a replacement?
Thanks!
I just got my 4G Slide yesterday, and haven't yet paired it with my '10 Equinox.
I'll do that tomorrow and let you know if it works or not.
I haven't had any issues with bluetooth on my JVC deck, but there is no problem sending back an S-OFF'd device, I've sent back several with no issues. Some devices are factory S-OFF, plus they never check returns.
Thank you both for the feedback.
jonnycat26, Please let me know what happens when you pair with your '10 Equinox. It's great to have someone with the same device and car make to test, to confirm if it is in fact my device.
I was able to successfully make a call without any issues. Or at least, I had audio when I did (call went to VM, and I did not leave a message).

jonnycat26,
You were able to hear audio and use the mic in your 2010 Equinox?
I guess this confirms I have a hardware issue. Sucks.
Thanks again!
Seeing as the Bluetooth worked for you & GM believes it's a phone defect, I am getting a replacement from Tmobile.
I know you already said you are getting a replacement, and for as expensive as this piece of hardware is - I wouldn't do anything different.
Figured i'd chime in though, have no issues pairing and using my bluetooth headset. Lets me do voice and listen through the headset.
My hands free (genius) mode works, though I don't use it.
I have a bluetooth game controller coming, somewhere in the mail. I know that's a whole other animal with it's own set of issues, but i'll let you know how that goes.
Thanks for posting about this, though, and it's lucky you found someone with the same stuff to test and compare. Bluetooth is going to be the next focus of my attention, I think, so i'm soaking up everything I hear about it now.
If anyone has found a way to make it S-ON, i'd love to know just to know, but it shouldn't be a problem with warranty issues if it was S-OFF.
The worst part of this for me is I have only had this phone since Friday. Further, it was a replacement for a faulty LG G2X, which I had RMA'd three times, and was about to cancel my service before they finally offered me a different phone.
So this will make my fourth return to Tmobile (three G2x, now a MT4G Slide) in the past three weeks. I have also spent about 30hours on the phone with them in the past three weeks.
I am truly exhausted dealing with this, but I really like this phone (the G2X sucked). So I am giving it one more shot.
They are sending me a new phone again, and not a refurb, so that's nice.
It's worth it.
I'm on my second one, I returned my first one. They took it back without hesitation, so even if you have to go through one or two at the beginning it's worth it.
You have the first few days after you get it, to exchange a defect for a working model. With this phone, it's absolutely worth it. Too expensive to walk around with a damaged one - especially from the door.
Your patience will be rewarded with an awesome piece of tech in your hands, it's amazing what you can do with this device.

Weird, I have a JVC KW-NT1 that worked AWESOME with my TouchPro2 but this MT4GS has a bunch of static issues which pisses off my callers...does anyone know of a fix or a BT radio software update perhaps? It sucks that the phone is LIGHTYEARS ahead of my ancient TP2 but the BT might make me return it

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.

I don't think this topic has been discussed before (I did do a search before posting a new one). If it has, please remove it and redirect me to the correct thread, thanks!
So, here is my problem: I have a HTC Sensation 4G phone and I was trying to pair it to my car (Chevrolet Orlando 2012) using bluetooth. The car told me to do a search on the phone and once it has found it, enter the code provided. So I did all that and it seemed to worked out fine. It said the pairing was successful and it was ready for use. Then, things started to get a bit weird. Every now and then, and I am talking like every 10 to 15 seconds or so, the bluetooth will automatically turn off (unpair itself) and then 10 to 15 seconds later, it will pair itself again. While it is unpaired, it will switch over to the OnStar Handsfree Calling Service. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? My brother has an iPhone 4S, and my mom has the LG Optimus, and they both worked fine, no disruptions at all.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Thank you for the reply, but no, I haven't installed any custom roms before since I don't even know how. I am currently running on Android 2.3.4 and HTC Sense 3.0, software number 1.45.666.5
I have contacted GM about it and they are saying that it's a problem with a lot of phones and they are working with the manufactures to rectify the problem. They have no time frame nor are they very willing to contact you if they solve the software problems. My husband just got a 2012 Toyota Yaris and his HTC Sensation 4G works perfectly! My brand new Chevy Cruize does the same exact things that yours does. Please post if you find out anything more, and I will do the same.
