All,
I recently purchased the Motorola Roadster (http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...ssories/Speakerphones/Motorola-Roadster-US-EN). It's a great device but I have one problem. It is advertised as able to announce caller names, but it does not do this for me. I know the SR has PBAP enabled, and when I paired with this device I was prompted for and granted the Roadster access to the SR's phonebook. Anyone have this (or similar problems)? Better yet, anyone have suggestions? I've tried wiping the phone and Roaster's BT settings to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
I know Motorola has an android app available for additional features for some of their products. The roadster 1 & 2 and a couple other headsets are able to use it. Check the play store and hopefully it will work for you.
Weird my roadster does just fine reading out names.

Hi, I am a new user so be gentle!
My XDA II is arriving middle of next week (just in time for xmas ) but i wondered if anyone can help me....
I have a BMW with Bluetooth phone setup in it. My previous phones, T65 3650 and T610 have all connected fine via bluetooth and from what i gather used a headset profile rather than a carkit one. I am not very technologically minded as you can probably guess. Does anyone know if this will be a problem in connecting the XDA II to the car? If so is there likely to be an upgrade to resolve the issue in the near future?
I looked for info on this topic but couldnt find anything do any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
XDA II pairs ok with BMW bluetooth but thats as far as it goes. New ROM upgrade promised in early 2004 may resolve this.
oh
fingers crossed the ROM updates work ok then.
Havent had a PDA since a Palm III several years ago. Really looking forward to seeing how much they have improved
I also am frustrated with the fact I cant use the bluetooth on my BMW - does anyone know what the actual issue is does this serial patch have anything to do with it?
Is the headset profile different to the Hansfree profile?

Join the club........
The headset profile and the handsfree are different, headset mimics a standard wired headset, ie accept call, terminate call and thats about it.
The handsfree has a lot more features such as transfering the number lists. BMW have chosen the handsfree, and XDA doesnt have it yet. The serial fix wont do anything as its not the problem in this case.
I guess we will just have to wait and hope. I'm a little concerned that the BMW system may not comply with the standards, so it may not work even with the correct bluetooth profile.
Sorry its not good news, Towa is working on the handsfree profile, might have something early in the new year, lets hope he can figure it out.
Cheers

Hello all,
I just wanted to inform you that Sim Access Profile is not working neither with this device.
I own a german car (ok, exclusivity for xda... it's an Audi ;-) ) with built in bluetooth hands free prep. I'm able to get Sim Access Profile with my work phone, a BB but not with the Sensation. I was hoping for but as it's the 5th HTC I have, none of them was able to sync the sim etc..
I know there are solutions (to be tested once the Sensation gets root) like rSap but still, just wanted to inform you.
Android doesn't support rSap, at least for now. Have to ask you though, as a vag-fan, does the bluetooth-phone work at all without rSap? Can you transfer phone numbers to it, and make calls just like with a normal (non-premium) bluetooth system?
Well, just connecting the phone to the MMI (MultiMedia Interface) via bluetooth, then I'm able to see my call history and my contacts. No more needs to intervent on the phone (no dialing directly on your device, can be done on the MMI), except for sms reading.
With SAP the signal should be handled by the external antena (on the car's display, normal bluetooth connection symbol is a phone but SAP connection is a sim card) and receive/read sms directly on the display.
They say that it can potentially save battery (the car is taking the phone role, disabling the gms on the phone and running it directly from it) and increase signal (external roof antena)
Audi a 4 avant and HTC sensation via bluetooth
@Swissman... so you assured me that's works with audi? I'm just going to buy the car and won't loose the HTC sensation and his capabilities. I'm interested in making phonecalls via Bluetooth. Be more clear please. Thanks
The car I dream Is an Audi a4 avant
so is there any normal solution for this?
Well, just rooted my phone so I will test two different softwares today and will let you know.
Thanks, let me now
Well, no luck... tried 2 different softwares (rsap) requiring root access to work, but even, no chance to pair the Sensation to my car :-(
Sorry for the bad news
Have no problem with my car. Works like charm.

Hi, which car do you have?
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.

Hey, got my U12 and within 12 hours looks like I might be returning it. Fantastic device Im very annoyed. Music through bluetooth to my car sounds a skipping cd. Anybody experiencing similar or any idea what to do? Changing parameters in the developer options doesn't seem to work.

No problems here with Bluetooth and Ford Sync 1.1 with latest software 5.11.

I saw in another thread that suggested going into developer options and switching Bluetooth AVRCP to v1.4 instead of 1.5. Did you try that one too?
Ya tried that, it's less severe but still happening. Iv isolated it to vw head units i think.
I was having a similar issue with my Bluetooth headphones. It kept cutting in and out while my headphones worked fine with my iPhone.
I'll be using my headphones again this evening so lets see if it happens again and if I can get more details.
I've had no problem with it in a Toyota Yaris. Also no problems with BT headphones - it's even a bit better than the U11 BT, which used to skip now & again. Had to set BT to 1.4 for full control in the car.

Maybe VW has been updating their software and you could drive by a dealership to update or do it yourself. Since Oreo came out I also had problems with BT. No media info was shown. The problem seems to be Oreo 8.0. In 8.1 Google solved some of these problems.
Since Ford brought out an update everything works fine now. Hopefully Android P has covered all these bugs.

Brand new car though. I might make a phone call about it all the same.

Found some solutions on Google that you could try out:
Settings>Apps>Application list>... >show system apps>Bluetooth>force stop, then clear data.
If this doesn't work, remove the pairing, repeat above and redo the pairing.
Or
Reset Network settings fixes the Bluetooth problem after Oreo Update. Settings > Backup & Reset > Network Settings Reset and everything works like charm.
Or
Change of Bluetooth Audio Codec (Settings -> Advanced -> Bluetooth Audio Codec) from SBC to aptX seemingly fixed it.
Hope one of them helps. Good luck!

I have also experienced this with my VW. I listen to audio books mostly and every so often a word drops out and it gets annoying.
Iv just had to switch to using the aux. Awful annoying, brand new phone and brand new car and ****ing bluetooth doesn't work properly.
I still connect to the bluetooth for calls only which has created a side problem too where if I get a call its not sending the sound through the bluetooth by default i need to manually select it.

Re: Bluetooth music choppy
Thank you phxzy , all!! Having the same annoying issues with my HTC U12 Plus Bluetooth in my car. Maps misses a lot of verbal directions and music is horrible.
Thanks for the many suggestions!! I'll try them this weekend!!
I just have some cheap BT device I found at a local discount store but I only occasionally have the choppiness. When it happens it's like the audio continues and I miss a few seconds of the audio. My main issue is more that it stops the playback altogether. It doesn't seem to disconnect just the playback stops/pauses and has to be restarted. This whole time I've been under the impression that it's the player/app but I'll try some of the advice given here and see if I can get it to improve. Thanks
