Desire and Parrot 3200

Hi, I am trying to use the desire with a parrot 3200. I have upgraded the parrot to the latest version of its software (2.12). The desire is on version 1.19, as it came out of the box. When I am dailing via the parrot I have no problems, when somebody is trying to get hold of me while I am in the car the parrot is ringing, I answer the phone and then I can't hear that person over the parrot, I hear the person over the speaker in the desire, not the car speakers.
Anyone suggestions?

Its not just the 3200, I have the 9200i with latest firmware and its the same problem.
Must be an android thing!

Hi
I've had this problem too. It only started after I installed the OTA update that came out last week. I did a factory reset of the phone, and this seems to have solved it.
I do still have periodic problems with it failing to sync the contacts. It seems to work randomly sometimes and not others. It's annoying, rather than a major problem, but I wish it would work consistently.
Try doing a factory reset and see if this sorts it out.

Jawbone icon disconnects when call waiting activates

I've just got a jawbone icon, and twice already I've been on the phone, and someone else calls (call waiting), immediately the headset disconnects and eventually reconnects. Not sure if this problem lies with htc or jawbone.. does anyone have a jawbone or infact any bt headset to see if this can be reproduced?

I'm quite worried to hear this. I've ordered a plantronics bluetooth headset which should be arriving on monday. I'll definitely update you once I've had a play.
Sort of ironic that the only reason I wanted to get the headset was because the loudspeaker is so bad... And now we see that BT doesn't work too well either.

Im using a Sony ericsson MW600, works flawlessy with my earlier phone but its behaving really weird on my Desire HD.
Listening to media in all it forms often works without hassle, but as soon as the phone function is being called - it randomly disconnects, reconnect, and by then the phone has already switched the sound back to the phone.
Also seeing alot of problems with switching the sound between different modes during a call, the option is there, but nothing happens.
And sometimes I cant even call people trough my BT headset, I connect it, doesnt use it for anything else before - and call someone, and still it doesnt get the sound right
So, some problems alright - longing for customs ROMs

Me too .. workaround whilst in the phone call is to switch to speaker or 'desire hd' and then back to bt headset this works every time for me

problem also with carkits
The BT problem also exists in connection to several carkits.
See post Bluetooth Problems

Feel free to correct me, but I think this problem belongs to the Jawbone.. it just happened on my other phone aswell (not android) so hopefully it's not a desire hd thing also..

I Will bump this One.
I have a mw600 and am experiencing some annoying problems.
First of all I cannot use it for calls at all. Cant even record anything from the headsets mic.
Second i have noticed that the sound quality is bad compared to when i connect the device to an itouch.
I really hope this is a software issue so I dont have to send the phone in for reparations.
Anyone else noticed the same issues with sound quality?
Were u able to fix it?

Using MW600 myself - works fine (for calls and music)
did not try recording - don't think it's supposed to work.
- remember that you need to pick up the phone using the answer button on MW600 if somebody calls you, or else it defaults to internal speaker, (and you can choose MW600) then. (move sound).
The only problem I've seen is, that sometimes MW600 cannot be used for calls anymore, it helps then to restart the hansfree, and it works again. - this did not happen on HD2.

Same Problem

Have the same exact problem with Icon HD. This is the Jawbone, not the phone / BT error...

The sound is just amazing! :good::good::good:

[Q] Sensation bluetooth fix?

I connected my motorla s9-hd bluetooth headphones to my sensation, and it constantly skips, so I thought it was the headphones. So i bought a Platonics bluetooth ear piece and it does the same thing.. They both work fine when the phone is 2 feet from the ear pieces. But if it's in my pocket or my hands are around it it breaks up. I read about the "grip of death" on this phone, and was wondering if anyone had a solution. I called HTC and they said they have no fix. Does anyone elses Sensation do this? Thanks, Nikko

Well HTC has some weird BT stacks, that could be the problem, but blue-tooth will always be effected by obstructions. I too have a s9-hd and ill try it out to see if i get the same problem.

I have the exact same issue. The headphones work great when connected to my MacBook, but when connected to my Sensation they constantly skip and cut out. I am waiting for CM7 as it should have better Bluetooth stacks.

I talked to some people nd they said the phones Bluetooth and WiFi antennas are behind the battery cover and that's why hands interfere with it.. I know obstructions will interfere with it, but your hands and pockets shouldnt

I have the same problem. Also a S9 and Sensation. The interference come whenever I an farther than 6 meters away...

550 dollar phone and the Bluetooth works for **** lol

I'm having the same problem with my phone. I can't get a reliable or even a passable connection on either of my headsets(S9 & Blueant T1) or my car stereo. The bluetooth on this phone is an absolute JOKE. It's barely functional & is easily the worst bluetooth performance of any phone I've ever had. It will pair & connect but I can't even turn my head while streaming audio without it skipping & cutting out, and that's with it just sitting on my desk in front of me, not being touched at all. I can't put it in my pocket or get more than 10 feet from it without it disconnecting completely either. I've tried various roms including CM7(the Kang build) & the problem persists with every one. I've been using my old HD2 for the past 2 days & both headsets work just fine with it so I know it's definitely the phone. This is absurd, I didn't pay $400 for this damn thing(early upgrade) just to NOT be able to use a common feature that even the cheapest dumbphones can manage to do right. T-Mo offered me a G2X when I called to request a replacement yesterday & I chose another Sensation just b/c I already have so many accessories for it, but if the new phone has the same problems I'm just gonna send it back & take the G2X. I think this phone just might be the end of my run with HTC >:|

Does your replacement do the same thing?

Yes, there was no difference at all. Its definitely a design flaw. I ended up sending the refurb back anyway cause the damn earpiece speaker died in the middle of a phone call after 1 day.
Im gonna keep the sensation just cause I do have so much stuff for it, but as soon as the Hercules comes out I'm jumping the HTC ship. I'm done with their form-over-function BS. I'll take an ugly, 'plasticky' phone that works well over a solid, pretty one that's full of glitches >:/

What ROM are you running? I have a motorola s305 Bluetooth headset, and I experienced the skipping issue on the stock ROM. After I switched to a ROM with less garbage running in the background and/or an overclocked kernel, the problem went away. I think the problem stems from a busy CPU.
Android Revolution (3.1.0), Insert Coin (2.2.5 sse w/bricked kernel 0.91) and Cyanogen Mod 7 Alphas 1, 2, 4 and 6 have all played back by music with less or no skipping. Insert Coin is the best for me.

I am using mike's 3.6.1 de Rom

Also want to put this out there. I was reflashing a few things and tried out the older faux kernels and such and came across that the kernel actually borked my bluetooth all together. I tried pairing and nothing worked. I rebooted a few times to no avail. I reverted to stock kernel and now all works and bt still works fine for me.

I've had some odd problems like that too. I go back and forth between CM7 alphas and insert coin and sometimes on switching back to IC (by restoring a NAND backup with working bt) bt is just broken. I can sometimes get it to work by deleting my headset from the "pairing" list. Not quite the same as your problem, I know, but it does seem like bt is sensitive to changes in the kernel. Like I said before, bricked 0.91 at 1.53gHz works with effectively no skipping (only ocassional delays on locking the screen).

It skipped for me with the stock Rom as well. If its directly in front of me it works fine.. also (altittle off subject) how is everyone's battery life. On the new de mine is horrible! 3.2 with the dual core patch was awesome

I contacted T-Mobile for a replacement and they said no because its a known issue and there working to fix it.. so well see!

I never had that short range problem that you are describing. Worked fine on sense based roms. But I do know that htc uses screwy bt drivers. I switched to cm7.1 and I believe they are the normal bt drivers for android. You might give it a try and see if perhaps your range increases or whatever other problems go away.

ya i have same problem put phone in pocket = bluetooth sucks

Bluetooth issues

I am having trouble with my in car bluetooth kit...
It's a VW original touch phone-kit music device I am pairing my HTC one XL with... It connects fine and even sometimes I can take a call and it works fine.
But most times, it seems to restart my Phone-kit when on calls and even sometimes when I am not connected. Some times the audio will just switch to my phone as well and I have to toggle my phone back to use bluetooth..
I thought it was a problem with the phone-kit, but I have since tested it with a Samsung Galaxy 4 and an iphone and they both worked without and problems. No crashing at all so it seems likely that my phone is the problem.
I was using Viper 3.2.8 and now I am using CM10.1 Nightly build... and no change with the restarts...
Does anyone have an ideas? I've RUU to put the latest CM on, but I might just RUU back to stock and see if it does it. I have googled it and seems to be a wide spread problem with the One XL..

Bluetooth Music Choppy

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
