[Resolved] [Q] Bluetooth Will not connect to gps on SII i777? (AOKP) - General Questions and Answers

Hey all, this is my first post so if I'm doing something wrong here with posting please help me out.
I have recently flashed AOKP Build 36 onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T), and it works pretty great. It doesn't however connect to my car GPS that I hook it up to to play some tunes. I connect via bluetooth.
Heres what happens:
I go into the settings and click bluetooth. It shows me that my car stereo is there and connectable. I click it. It presses for a hot second, and then nothing happens. If I press it a few more times, it states that I have an invalid PIN to connect to it. Now I've been told that when I click on it, it should ask me for the PIN. It doesnt, it just does the above. I am brand new to ICS so perhaps I'm missing some setting somewhere.
So, on to the questions:
Is there a different place to enter the PIN before clicking on it?
Could this be a bug with the rom?
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advanced, you guys rock!
Additional info:
I got the rom from the samsung2root website. I cannot post links yet but hopefully its not to hard to find.
I have heard there are newer builds, but I am not sure they are available for my phone. The official AOKP website doesnt even list my phone as supported.

Just taking a guess here so don't crucify me if don't work have you tried changing the bluetooth settings as you're device might be on invisible check if it's disabled.

Lol, no its a good thought. I clicked on the make device discoverable button before trying to connect a few of the times, it didn't seem to help.

Alright, I figured it out. My car stereo was the issue. I had to re add my phone to the devices list. It thought with the new rom and all that it was a different phone.
Thanks anyway though guys!

[Q] Bluetooth headset(s) problem

Hey everyone, was hoping someone might be able to shed some light as to what's going on with my phone/headset.
I've had this bluetooth samsung headset for a while, it's always worked on my old Galaxy I. It worked for a couple days on my Galaxy II, and then stopped. The phone will find it, and it will pair, but it will not connect.
So I tried my wife's headset. Same thing happened, worked for a couple days, and then all of a sudden it won't work. Same thing, it will pair, but not connect.
What in the world could cause this? Is there a file or directory I can delete that will purge the bluetooth settings on the phone maybe?
Thanks everyone.
I had this happen with my handsfree speakerphone and my Bluetooth ODB sensor recently. What I did was go into Settings>Wireless and network>Bluetooth Settings and unpair and re-pair the devices (long press on them from the list until the menu pops up to un-pair)
I did try that and rescanned for them. It finds then again but it's the same problem it just won't connect with them. Very strange.
Would a custom rom have any effect on something like this? I was thinking maybe switch over to something else and try that maybe?

i have this trouble with my bt all the time. i usually have to turn my bluetooth off on the settings and keep restarting then turning it back on. after doing this three or four times it seems to start working right. if u find a faster way would be helpfull
I've found that BT (with and without custom Roms) seems to work whenever it feels like it. To be fair my phone usually seems to be willing to work, but more than a couple of times it has decided to not work for no good reason other than apparently enjoying watching me be mad.

[Q] Pandora issues with Alpine deck

Im having a hard time finding help with this so any info is appreciated
I have an Alpine 147bt deck that im using to stream Pandora and am currently running CM10.1.1 on my gs3. Right now it is a PAIN to get it to sync. It only syncs after a reboot of the phone, and if i turn the car off to get out and run an errand, when i get back in i have to again, it will play one track, then lock up, and require another reboot.
Like i said, im currently on CM10.1.1 but ive had this issue with numerous roms, both TW and AOSP. Any ideas for fixes?

I have a similar problem with my SG3, Alpine138BT and Pandora. I'm running CleanRom 7 but it also did this when stock. When connecting the HU either says connecting (but doesn't) or says no unit. I have to 1st get it to connect to the Bluetooth setting on my HU then switch the HU to Pandora then start and stop Pandora on my phone until it syncs. Once sync'd it plays correctly. Like you if I turn the car off I have to start the whole process all over again.
There is a Bluetooth firmware update for your HU but it does not specifically list your issue. I'd flash it anyway maybe it will fix the problem. I found one for my HU as well.
I have not meet my 10 posts here so I cannot enter the link....lookup your HU on the Alpine-USA website scroll to the bottom of your HU information page and there is a Software Update link.

I'm having this same exact issue with my 149bt deck from Alpine. It's great when it works but a pain in the ass when it doesn't. Sometimes the thing you describe to fix it doesn't even work as well.
This issue occurs even with the stock Vanilla Android ROM on my wifes phone. We both have Galaxy Nexus phones (I'm running CM 10.1.1)

[Q] Hands free bluetooth issues?

Hi everyone.
First off, let me say I did search for my issue, but really could not find anything that was relevant to all of my issues. And, if this is in the wrong place, please let me know!
Now- I installed a bluetooth radio in my truck 2 weeks ago. I was running a rooted SCH-i535 on 4.2. Did not have anything other than root access, due to me dropping my phone and getting it replaced.(Only problem was cracked screen, worked flawlessly). Now, I was able to connect my radio and phone with bluetooth, and worked fine. I had a pin code on my phone, and was still able to hold down my phone button on my radio, and give voice commands no problem. Now, I get my replacement phone this past weekend from geek squad. I go in, give them my old phone, and tell them im going to browse the store, ill be back for the other phone. I come back to get it, and its up and running. I get in my truck, get the phone and radio to sync, set my phone down, and try to make a call....I can not use voice commands. I hold the button on the radio, and it tells me service is not available. Tried just using a swipe unlock. same thing. Now, I forgot to mention, geek squad went ahead and performed the OTA 4.3 update while setting up my phone. I can use the phone and it will use the bluetooth for the calls if I select it from a phone book, and I can receive calls too. Its just that the voice control will not work...its almost if s-voice is not seeing that I am making a command or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I loved having a truly hands free set up in my truck. Thank you for any help!
Have the same problem. I'm on rooted unlocked vzw 4.3 but I had this problem on 4.1.2 as well. Bluetooth calls connect but media not coming through (it's connected in BT settings). Occasionally the media will come through as well. I tried clearing cache just for BT through TiBu and emediately restarting phone which mostly worked on 4.1.2 but not on 4.3. I also tried a full factory reset and a clean re-install of the rom (I always clean install). Problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Can I disable Throw™ without root?

I tried to disable it via App settings, but was unable to. is there any other way? Because I suspect it interferring with my bluetooth connected moto360.
Yes you can, I wrote a post about it on the other bluetooth thread here (and also on reddit [1]). I also use an android watch (LG Urbane), and before turning off Throw, the bluetooth was super flaky, and it also failed to connect to my car.

Thank you! I'm looking into it
Hey guys, sorry to re-awaken old thread... do you know if this is possible at all without root?
From the reddit link in the post before yours:
> Anyway, you don't need to root, but you'll need to get the adb tool
Now whether you can manage it is another question entirely...
Sorry, I totally posted in the wrong thread there... was meaning to post in the disabling HDCP thread lol
I had to reset my phone. New firmware and no longer able to hide using adb... This did the trick for me. I guess I have to reset again, then update firmware?
Use the bluetoth settings
You can also stop Throw from starting by just going into Bluetooth settings for the device and unchecking contacts and phone and just leaving media on.
It might work with phone on too I haven't tried but this works fine just for music on my BT speaker.
No more connecting then Throw interfering and loppong off the connection a second or two later.

New issue: Wifi randomly turninf off (without USB beeing disconnected) - PX5 MTCD

Hi there,
despite the issue, that my radio in disconnecting USB (incl. Wifi, randomly, especially when it is colder) - which I tried to fix by replacing the USB chip to a GL852G - I now have a new issue since some days:
Now, my radio also disconnects Wi-Fi randomly without turning on again, while USB itself is not interuppted.
That issue is very new to me.
I installed a newer MCU some days ago (3.13 and 3.17) as this fixed an issue with the Bluetooth App automatically opening at the bottom of the screen when making a phone call.
I did not went back to the previous MCU yet (which was a 3.04 I think), as I don't think the issue is related to this. After MCU upgrade, I didn't have the above mentioned issue since more than a week.
Anyone having a similiar or same issue?
Maybe anony can confirm, MCU > 3.x having a wifi issue?
Thanks a lot!
Christian
Hi Christian,
I had the same issue. In the beginning I was able to compensate the issue with an automation app. (If WLAN turns off -> Turn on) After some time I couldn't activate the WLAN at all without restarting the radio. At some point, I could not do that anymore. Then I looked for a working LTE-Stick, but quickly understood that there is NO working 4G-Stick. Only a few UMTS sticks work. Via XDA-Developer found out that there are 4G sticks that are recognized as USB-to-Ethernet devices. Then I bought the HUAWEI E3372 LTE Surfstick. However, this does not work out-of-the-box with the radio. After a lot of manual work and learning-by-doing (installing an unofficial firmware), I managed to make it work now. The only disadvantage is that I no longer have a hotspot for other devices in the car.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Appreciate your answer, many thanks.
I am running hal9k ROM. If you have more detailed instructions, it works be great if you could share them with me.
Meanwhile I am trying to get a replacement device, as it is still under warranty and was bought in uk.
Thank you!

Any chance of a link or hint of a guide to modify the E3372 stick?
Modifying E3372 was a tough stuff, actually. A lot of try-and-error. At one point I even thought to have bricked the stick.
Anyway, I got all information from following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../real-3g-4g-usb-modem-sticks-px5-px4-t3898344
On page 3, a link to a russian site is provided:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=883219&st=3620#entry66908061
I do not speak russian, so I used the DeepL Translator in order to translate everything.
To sum up, you need to install a modified webui und firmware which supports ethernet-over-usb (CDC) mode. The Versions I am using are:
E3272s-153_Update_22.491.09.00.00_M_AT_05.10
WebUI 17.100.17.00.143
https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/firmware-versionen-hi-non-hilink-e3372h-inkl-mod.2691/ is a good source for downloading the files.
