My XDA will no longer sync with my desktop PC (Running WinXP) via the cradle on USB or by bluetooth. The PDA has been previously synchronising untill the XDA was left uncharged for about 3 months. I have tried all the obivious things I can think of i.e
Disabling Firewall, Reloading MS Active Sync 3.7/3.8, removing all devices from other USB ports, XDA Hard reset, I have also tried a different PC running win 2000 the result is the same.
When the XDA is inserted into the cradle the PC makes the acknlowledge sound and the device shows CONNECTING USB but thats as far as it goes. The same thing happens when I try a bluetooth connection , the XDA shows connecting via bluetooth but does not connect.
I was wondering if it is possible to perform a ROM upgrade via the SD card, if so how does one perform such an operation. I am wondering if I have some sort of file corruption/missing drivers on the XDA!!!
Any ideas or comments will be greatfully received.
tried a hardreset ?
I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Chreokee. When I first got the phone, it paired fine and I was able to make and receive calls through the BT. I had this setup for about 1-2 days. I then rooted the phone with the stock ROM only removing bloat ware...now I cannot connect via bluetooth back to the car. It seems to connect then disconnect me right away. Ideas?
I know this seems obvious but have you tried unpairing and repairing the phone to the car? Sometimes bluetooth can get fidgety and most of the time it requires you to repair the device. In my experience that generally solves the issues I have had with bluetooth.
Any time I have factory restored my phone I have had to repair it to any Bluetooth devices it was once connected to. Not sure if the Bluetooth address changes for the phone or not on a reset or ROM change, but it seems to be the case. My Infiniti G37s has Bluetooth and I experienced the same issue as you, pair it again and see if that helps.
Thanks for replies...I tried to repair about 6 different times...same result. It seem that the phone and audio connections both connect for about 2 seconds, then the phone disconnects.
Funny, I wanted to try this but kept forgetting. So I just went down to my garage and tried it, and it paired successfully on the first try. Tried making a call via number/phonebook and it all worked.
I'm rooted running Das BAMF 1.3, and paired it with a '11 Sonata Limited.
So I got it working...but without the phone book downloaded. The issue is in fact when it tries to download the phone book. Need to get another phone loaded up with my contacts and do a sync to get phone book loaded to car.

Did you do anything to get it working?
When the device asked me to allow connection to download the phone book, I declined, only then would it pair properly.
I think I figured it out, I have the Infiniti G37, when I rooted & re-paired the Bluetooth, somehow I ignored the question when it popped up asking to "allow" or "deny" the connection.
Yesterday during the whole 4G fiasco, I reflashed & had to re do everything this morning, when I paired my BT, it asked me whether to allow & this time I clicked allow & my BT connects & stays connected fine now.
My question is, is there a way to delete the BT pairing on the phone without having to completely wipe the phone with a reflash?

nevermind, I just found the answer

just hold down "paired"
I believe the issue is just with the MyGig radio on the Chrysler products. I have a SRT8 Magnum with the MyGig and allowing it to download the address book "Breaks" the B.T. connection. I don't know what the issue is? Perhaps too much information being sent to the MyGig and it "locks up"?
I also have a Ford Focus for a daily driver and allowing it to download the Address Book over the phone has no such issue.

It does it on my aftermarket Kenwood double-din unit, too. I've seen it happen on several Ford units too.

I updated my 430N radio with the latest firmware update and phone book downloaded and BT is working without getting disconnected.
Thanks
Thanks for that info. Although I can't do it as I have the "MyGig" retro-fitted into my 07 SRT. So, if I apply the "official update" I will lose GPS time and a bunch of other things.
But, nice to know it works.

Hi all,
I'm growing increasingly frustrated with this watch because of connection issues.
When I received this watch in January, I was able to set it up no problem. Everything worked great. I just had two issues-
1. The Bluetooth car system would no longer work because the phone would use the watch as the default headset.
2. Google duo would go bonkers when I was getting a call if the watch was connected.
Both of these issues were solved with a solution found here in the forums-by unchecking the option to use the watch for phone connection.
I noticed immediately after doing that that the connection became unstable. I would disconnect randomly then reconnect. As the weeks went on the disconnections became more frequent i.e. Every 2-3 minutes. Then the watch wouldn't connect anymore. Once the watch wouldn't connect anymore neither would my car. Nothing related to Bluetooth would work on my phone. My Tiles wouldn't connect anymore either.
So I went through and deleted all data and cache related to the three Samsung apps and uninstalled the apps. I deleted all Bluetooth connections. Then reinstalled the apps and connected the watch. Within an hour I was still in the same situation. (With no other things connected to Bluetooth.)
I figured out that if I restart my phone everything works again for about 20-30 minutes.
I'm at the point where I don't feel like it is worth keeping anymore. I can't have anything else connected to Bluetooth and I have to restart the phone so often that it just doesn't make sense.
After reading through the forums here it doesn't sound like this is a common problem. Is there something I am missing? Is the watch defective? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
You could well find the issue is with your phone and not the watch. I initially used my S3 with a Samsung phone that went bust. I went back to my Nexus 5 and found I had some issues and one app had disappeared from the app store. I contacted the app firm who told me that they were aware of it but it was Samsung that was blocking the app. On going back to a Samsung phone the app was available again and works fine. Can you check your S3 with a different phone?
I also have a S3 and a 6P. Disconnect the S3 Bluetooth from your phone Bluetooth settings and it should connect to your car. You should still see the "Gear S Plugin" notification if you swipe down on the the phone. You should still receive notifications on your phone but the Bluetooth will connect to your car. Connect the S3 to your phones Bluetooth again if you want to answer calls via your watch. Hope this helps.
I have the Mate 9 and the Frontier... when i enter my truck i just press airplan mode on the watch turning off all connection. bluetooth from phone to truck connects 1-2-3....
Clarification
Hi all,
Thanks for the responses. Probably because of my long rambling post there is a little misunderstanding of where I'm at now.
Right now my problem is that my phone can't stay connected to my watch. I have nothing else connected via Bluetooth to my phone. Once it can't connect anymore, I have to restart my phone in order for it to connect again. And then it only stay connected for a couple of minutes before disconnecting.
It is like the Bluetooth gets locked up on my phone by the Samsung gear apps.
Maybe it's my phone. Maybe time to get a Pixel.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Try this. I do it when I lose notifications. Go to Bluetooth on your phone. "forget your watch" it will disconnect. Reboot phone. Then re pair watch and phone after reboot using your phone and the watch (not the gear app). That usually fixes most problems for me.

It seems the newest update has broken my bluetooth. There is now a device that my phone tries to connect to that doesn't exist. I've cleared all devices from my paired list and it still gives errors trying to connect to a bluetooth address. I can't connect to anything either once it fails to connect to whatever bluetooth device it is trying to pair to. I've tried clearing bluetooth cache and have also reinstalled the update but issue persists. Is there a way for me to delete whatever file stores bluetooth pairings? I am rooted as well.
I figured out the bluetooth device it was trying to connect to so finally got my phone to stop trying to constantly connect to it.
Hi. In the last couple of days, I used "Bluetooth Audio Receiver" from the Microsoft store to be able to play back music from my S20 FE android 11 device at work. I often step away from my work desk with my phone in my pocket, but yesterday I wasn't able to reconnect my phone via Bluetooth when I came back. Since then I can't connect to my work and my personal PC anymore, even tho I didn't even connect to my personal PC for a while.
I'm able to unpair and pair with said Windows 10 machines, but as soon as I tap the entry in the Bluetooth menu, it says "couldn't connect". I already tried to use the reset for wifi/Mobil/Bluetooth within the android setting, but it didn't change anything.
Restarted my phone and both PCs multiple times. It feels like something in my phone hang itself. I'm still able to send files from my PC to my phone and vice versa. I'm still able to fully use my smartwatch and Bluetooth headset.
Is there anything I can do? Any ideas?
PS: My phone is rooted.
Edit1: I just deleted cache and data of the Bluetooth app and did another reset of my network settings. I now can't pair with Windows 10 anymore. It says "couldn't connect" after the pairing dialog. My Win10 Device recognizes my Android device as paired. Which means I can't even send or receive files at my phone from my Windows 10 devices.
Edit2: My headset was still paired. Is there a way to reset saved pairing and data related to that?
Edit3: I don't know why I couldn't pair with my Windows device anymore, but it works again (Didn't do anything). Still can't connect to it, but can send files again.
TLDR:
Android 11 S20 FE can't connect to multiple Windows devices anymore with the massage: "can't connect".
UnPairing and pairing again won't help
Restarting effected devices won't help.
Resetting network settings won't help.
Nobody has an idea what it could have triggered it or what I could try to do?
Any idea is much appreciated.
