Currently any SENSE 4.0 ROMS connecting to Bluetooth car kits DO NOT WORK at all.
My findings are as follows:
At the weekend i thought i would test something out whether or not all the custom roms that are being cooked with sense 4.0 have the problem with bluetooth connectivity to car kits or is it actually any sense 4.0 roms IE: A BRAND NEW HTC ONE X STRAIGHT FROM THE BOX RUNNING STOCK INSTALLED ICS SENSE 4.0 BUILD.
I drove to a car phone warehouse centre to day and asked if i could try the new HTC ONE X and tried to get it to connect to my car kit (my car kit is THB BURY CONNECT 8 UNIVERSAL BLUETOOTH CRADLE and guess what NO WAY would it connect at all. We even tried to get the ONE X to connect to the shop managers own portable car kit and again NO WAY would it connect to any car kit at all.
The phone and car both agree that a PAIRING connection has been made but when i use it to either ring out or receive a call the radio DOES NOT MUTE AS REQUIRED ringing tone sounds over the car speakers but I can`t hear the caller except THROUGH TO PHONE'S OWN SPEAKER which isn`t very useful. Would a ROM or radio upgrade help or is it just a compatibility problem.
Not sure if the following will help developers etc but i had an idea.
(In sense 4 there is an app that HTC has written straight into the built called CAR. Its a steering wheel with the app name car written on it. When you activate the app and go into it it asks for a variety of questions to connect automatically etc etc.)
My question is any developers please try and take out the files that relate to this app as i believe it is conflicting with any third party bluetooth devices which try to connect to it even if you turn off all the defaults in the HTC CAR APP in sense 4 .
I had that issue in sense 3 a while ago when i installed the htc car app called car dock and it gave the same problems then and i wonder if this is the issue now.
It seems very strange that even a Brand New HTC ONE X has the same problem with a stock rom installed thus now giving light to the fact may maybe is generic with all SENSE 4.0 builds STOCK or OTHERWISE.
If anyone has any ideas on this or if there are any HTC employees that may have access to finding any further evidence to the above please lets all get together and find a solution to the problem and cure it so that everyone can drive safely with a working BLUETOOTH CONNECTION.
Please pm me if further info is required.
Yup blue tooth is a bug you want it get a 3.6 rom

Hello Craven, im currently running a 3.6 rom now but have tested a lot of the custom roms on here and the findings are all the same as also posted by other users.
My findings were to help try to find a solution to the problem not just to switch over to a 3.6 rom but to get the community together to work out a solution to this annoying problem.
The interesting thing is that HTC are releasing NEW phones to the market and their STOCK ICS SENSE 4.0 BLUETOOTH CAR KIT CONNECTIVITY DOES NOT WORK.
Im currently in contact with HTC to report this finding whether it will help i dont know but was trying to help with the findings i had with a BRAND NEW PHONE not just a cooked ROM. If this issue is with ALL SENSE 4.0 PHONES then shouldn't HTC do something about it ie: A ROM UPDATE ETC. addressing the issue.

Hey Guys, i'm hoping you can help me.
I have searched this forum and couldnt find anyone that has the same bug as me. I apologize in advance if there is a thread already that discusses this.
I have a Ford Mondeo Titanium X 58plate. Bluetooth syncs up and sends/receives calls great, however When I try to hang up the call it crashes. Is anyone having the same problem?
I upgraded my o2 HTC phone to the latest 1.66 rom and I still get the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
I too have the same issue. I have a Mondeo Zetec and suffer from the same issue. After hanging up, the phone continually tries to connect and disconnect and the only way to stop it is to turn off bluetooth completely. I logged the problem with HTC and they were trying working on the problem howver I havent heard anything from them for 3 weeks. Im considering changing the bluetooth stack on the phone but arent sure how and with which stack.
I heard that changing the stack to the Microsoft default causes other issues. Let me know if you get a response from HTC regarding a fix. I dont even bother connecting the phone to the car anymore because it just crashes everytime i get a call, its so frustrating.
This is the response I got from HTC:
We can never guarantee that our products will be compatible with car kits or bluetooth headsets.
There are different ROM versions of Windows Mobile 6.5.
It might be that this product is not 100% compatible with this specific car kit.
When it comes to upgrades and updates then you will have to contact O2 for them to provide the upgrades for you.
Best regards,

Probably a generic answer to everyone.
Same issue/possible fix
I have a Titanium X sport exactly the same issue.
I was told a couple of days ago if you switch off Data connection in Wireless controls in Settings it helps and I have tested a few times and this does seem to work.
I have not had an opertunity to test thoroughly and would be interested to here if it helps you
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?
have you installed any custom rom?

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.
Hey guys, I'm sure a lot of you are already on one of the ICS roms already. First of all hail all devs who have made our life better before official releases!
However I have seen posts talking about them experiencing Bluetooth problems just like I am right now and mostly mentioning the Music player stuttering and similar issues like that.
My problem is a little different. My aftermarket car deck worked perfectly with all the phones I have connected to, including my GB i727. However after I flashed the ICS my bluetooth connection kept dropping out randomly. Starting with the deck not auto connecting when I get in the car. Then after I manually connect "Phone" in the menu, it will MOST LIKELY disconnect after (on average) 2 minutes with the "Media" still checked (although the connection is not shown on either the icon in the status bar or the display of the deck). Weirdest thing is, sometimes it actually keeps on working after it connects.
I didn't think that would be a problem for me because I don't use Bluetooth earphones and I use my iPod instead of my phone to play music in my car. So I even disabled my Holo Music and my Google Play... I'm on Sean's SKY ICS 4.2D
I am just wondering if bluetooth misfunctioning is a common problem on all current ICS roms for our i727 or is it just the rom I am on right now? Because I drive a Manual car, the hand free in the car is actually very needed for me. So spread your wisdom on the bluetooth issues please!
Thank you!
my jvc car radio doesn't work at all with bluetooth sense updating to sky I c s. The stock I c s leak seemed to work pretty well however. Now the phone vibrates as if it's going to force close then disconnects the bluetooth within seconds of connecting every time.
Strangely, the radio does continue to play for a few minutes even though the radio and phone both say the device is disconnected. All kinds of weirdness going on here! I am going back to the stock leak as soon as I have time to reinstall all my apps for the millionth time.
On a side note, my monster bluetooth speakers seem to work flawlessly with all the roms i have tried. Seems I need an exterminator as I am over run with bluetooth bugs!
I am a programer. I wish I had the time to work on these and help develop these roms. The developers here are some truly talented and generous folks! After finals next week, I will try to devote some of my time to helping out this community which I gain so much from. Thanks to all of you guys! I can't wait until cm9 is in beta/release stage! That will be a dream come true!

You should try his bluetooth fixes in the op. I had about the same problem and bluetooth fix 2 resolved it. YMMV

Yep, same isdues.
Tried many things but nothing.
It worked, still does only on sky ice update 6, but the phone does not deep sleep, that's the problem so can't keep using that.
Hope official rogers will fix it.

Same here.
JVC KW-XR810 car stereo running updated firmware.
Bluetooth crashes almost immediately and the phone buzzes.
I use bluetooth for playing pandora or internet radio.
UCALC worked perfectly.
UCLD2 is where problems started for me.
I've tried both fixes listed in the SkyICS thread.

Hi
My problem with Bluetooth is pairing to the car auduo. The phone can see the device, recognizes the type and tries to pair, but after putting a code I get a connection refused error. Previously worked with stock and custom 2.x.x rooms. From is now a 4.0.4 one.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Solved by replacing Bluetooth.apk to 4.0.1 found at androidforums
Works fine in my Cayman S

Bluetooth is finally fixed for me in CM10.1. No more Bluetooth Keep Awake. No more hassle of disconnects.

Hi guys,
I have found in other forum, and it's working for me.
Break connection between car and S3, and delete devices both in car and phone.
Now try to pair them again but don't let car system to access contact and data in phone.
After I did this my connection is stable.
Guy who suggested this believes that Samsung sends too much data ( all accounts data)and car system freezes).
Hope this works for you too

Ok, so I have an issue with my One X that I didn't have on my Galaxy Nexus. I was able to leave my bluetooth on (on the Gnex) all the time. When I got in the car, after a few seconds or so, it would connect. I never had to think about it. This was on AOSP, CM, or AOKP. No matter the build, it always worked this way.
With my One X, it never connects automatically. I feel like there's a setting I'm not seeing that I need to enable to allow it to act this way. If bluetooth is on, I have to manually tell it to connect to the stereo. Sometimes I have to shut off the bluetooth radio, turn it back one, etc etc.
This is on Sense Builds, AOKP, or CM.
Anyone have any insight? I feel like this shouldn't even be a thought. I should be able to just leave it on and never think about it.
Wrong section. Q's belong in Q&A. Let the mods know so they can move this thread.
Its not you, its the phone, or specifically the Bluetooth stack. Certain combinations of phones and Bluetooth devices (like your car stereo head unit) just don't play well together. Its the same on my car, which is a 2012 Subaru Impreza with factory head unit (which I understand is made by Kenwood). It work fine (mostly, sometimes the steering wheel controls to skip tracks won't work) once its connected. But it won't auto-connect and has to be connected manually every time I start the car. For other people's car stereos, it may work just fine.
There is nothing in Settings that will fix this. Further, I've messed with some of the system files to see if that would help (which some have pointed out has worked on other devices), but no good. I've also hoped that HTC would have fixed the problem with one of the firmware updates (as they sometimes update the BT stack when they update the firmware). But I've tried various builds, including the recent Sense JB firmware's, and the same problem persists.
I've reported the issue to HTC back when the phone was originally released in May. HTC support walked me though the usual steps of factory reset, update firmware, safe mode. But of course, none of this worked, and they logged the issue for further investigation. Aside from a change in the BT stack by HTC, I don't think there is much that can be done.
There are various apps and toggles and such that may make your life a bit easier (and others will likely suggest). And I'm using one now called Speed Enabled Bluetooth. But really, they are just half-a$$ed workarounds at best, and not a true fix. I wished the thing would just work like its supposed to.

As I already said, its dependent on the car stereo. Some will work, some won't. What make/model car, and is it the factory stereo or not?
My car is also a 2012 Subaru. its a wrx impreza, so we're in the same boat. guess its time to start looking into an aftermarket headunit.
