My Sensation will only connect to my BMW as a headset meaning that I cannot use the car's internal system to show/select phone contacts, etc. By contrast my Vibrant works perfectly.
Does anyone know what causes this problem and can it be fixed?
I have a May 2009 BMW 330d Touring and I get the full Sensation address book downloaded into my car, no problems. I can then choose a contact from the car's system list and make it dial out on the Sensation handset. Also, when a call comes in from a contact stored in the list, the caller's name comes up on the car's display.
Maybe your car is older or has an older Bluetooth firmware, ask your dealer and they may be able to help. Otherwise, there are plenty of BMW user forums on the web and they often know a lot more about the car than your dealership!
HTH
I have an 07 530i and a 09 X5. They both will not load the contacts. I previously had a G2 and Mytouch4g rooted CM7 and they both load the contacts. The HTC Sensation does not use the vanilla Bluetooth stack from android. HTC left out a few instructions in the stacks and also they customized a contacts to link other info, thus doesn't really upload the contacts to the car. If anyone knows a work around, I'd love to know...other than rooting. Fingers crossed, unlock bootloader is coming in Aug from HTC or if the awesome dev guys here can do it before then that's even better!

My Nexus One running CM7 works fine with my 2006 BMW 325i, I am able to see my contacts, make phone calls...
With my HTC Sensation, I see no phonebook on my BMW; however, I am able to make and receive phone calls through bluetooth.
Seems to agree with your theory that HTC made tweaks to the bluetooth contacts, which is why Sense ROMS have problems, yet AOSP roms do not.
Has there been any progress in getting the Sensation to sync contacts on the BMW?
For what i know, bmw bluetooth connectivety only works full with bmw phones, I mean full function. There is a list on the internet, with the specify models and kind of phones they will support (full support)

I have exactly the same problem on my 2007 335i. Bluetooth works as a headset only on all Sense ROMs (stock, Leedroid, Android Revolution HD) but works perfectly with full contacts sync on AOSP ROMs (which is what has me currently using CM7.)
It does seem to be a Sense issue -- and I've tried Sense 3.0 and 3.5, on Android 2.3.5 and 4.0.3, with no success on any of them. Even a Sense ROM with the Bricked or Faux kernels doesn't work, while an AOSP ROM with the same kernels does. I don't know what Sense does to Bluetooth, but I do wish it would stop it.
Are their any ROMS out that have Bluetooth working on 4.2 for the TF300? I flashed CM10.1 installed and everything works great except Bluetooth. I didn't read the list of not working things till after (My fault) I use my bluetooth headset alot on my tablet. Are their any 4.2 ROMS that have Bluetooth working?
BT is actually working - but after you turn it off it won't turn back on until you reboot. And yes, that's the case with all 4.2 Roms atm
Anyone experiencing connection problems with ICON HD and ICS 4.0 ROMs ？
I have had it for a few month without any problems when I was running the stock ROM. Now I have flashed my phone to 4.0, and it cannot find the earpiece when searching for bluetooth device.
I have tried to download the official software for the ICON HD and updated to the latest version, but it still doesn't show up during Bluetooth search.
Anyone had a similar problem/experience?
Hello together,
I am new here, my name ist Michael and come from germany so I hope you can understand my problem/question.
I have a Nexus5, rooted and tried some diffrent custom roms. I found that mahdi works as the best. Fast, good styles and menues etc.
But I have a problem with bluetooth audio. I use soundabout-TTS app which allows to route the sound e.g. from navigation to the cars handsfree system.
With the stock-rom and cm11 it works as epected, with other roms (e.g. PA, SlimCat, and more) I have BT connection probs with my car (Ford Sync Gen1 -Sony). At least I had to reset my car audio system to work normaly
With mahdi I have two other major problems.
1. the first 3 or 4 seconds of the text is missing ...
Normal text to hear ..... Thank you for using soundabout.
With mahdi-rom............ ------------------------------------bout
2. the car shows me an incoming call ... thats good
i hear the text cuted voice from N5
BUT the call did not stop, the cars handsfree still hold the call and did not go back to e.g radio or disk.
Is there anything to adjust audio-buffer or aomething like this?
I like mahdi-rom but with this issue I cannot use it.
Michael
Maybe post in Mahdi thread
Anyone have a truly 'working' ROM that does BT dialing? I must have tried a dozen or more ROMs for my Desire S ranging from v2.3 up to v4.2 and still haven't found an 'every day' driver that has working Bluetooth Voice Dialing. Note: car kit doesn't count, has to work from headset. Have to be hands-free in CA. Oh, and I have to take job-site photos so camera has to work with no 'lock-ups'. I am very eager to DONATE to a working ROM effort.
Me too
I have this issue
