Back in Froyo, I used the option under "Bluetooth Settings," "Device Name" to change the the default name to "RB-SGH." (That was because we have a pair of these and I wanted to be able to see which one was connected to our BT enabled house phones.)
The problem is whenever the phone is powered on, the device name reverts to the default of "SGH-T959V." Then none of the BT devices paired to it will connect. If I turn BT off and back on again -- the name changes to "RB-SGH." Then all paired devices are happy again.
I used a build prop editor could see no place where the new name is stored. I rooted the phone and flashed a custom ROM -- no difference.
How can I get rid of the new name or have the same name show up everytime?
UPDATE:
I figured out that the problem isn't the name. On power up with BT on, the phone doesn't recognize any of its paired BT devices. If BT is turned off and back on, it displays the paired devices and all is well. It's annoying but manageable. Any thoughts on a fix?
My current rom is GB Barebones

So I picked up an external GPS receiver off ebay. It's the Globalsat BT-359C (http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-214-bt-359c.aspx). Turned it on, everything went fine as far as my fuze finding it. I'd goto add new device, it'd pull up "BT-GPS371D88", i'd select it, put it the four "0" 's, and it'd give me the message "your pocketpc is now connected with BT-GPS371D88". It comes up in the list but under disconnected. So i'm like eh whatever, and setup the outgoing com port to COM0 as per the instructions, and make sure its unsecure.
I go back to devices, highlight BT-GPS371D88, click it. Check off "Serial Port" in select services to use, and save. Then heres where everything goes wrong, I hit connect, and it gives me the following message "Your device did not connect with BT-GPS371D88. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect." I've been tinkering with it all day, searching various forums to no avail. Even downgraded my 6.5 rom to 6.1 thinking it was maybe incompatible with something so new.
Now i'm stuck, I really want to get it working so i can use it for a trip thats coming up in a few days. Has anyone else had such a problem? is there like a quick fix that i'm over looking, or is it simply not compatible with the fuze? I managed to get it paired up and connected fine to my blackberry curve just to see if the gps unit was defective (did buy it off ebay). Any Ideas guys? Not sure where else to turn now.
Oh yeah btw my current rom that i'm using is
At0mAng Fusion Power V 5.X ROM Series
Windows Mobile 6.1 (Build 21051 1.6.4)

have a BT GPS for my Dell axim x51v, got some trouble too getting it to connect, but eventually did
here are some pointers:
1) Delete all pairings and com port pairings on the device
2) Pair the device (make sure that you put 'request authorization' or something... this ensures that you need to put the 0000 code to connect)
3) you need to set up at outgoing port on your device, to the BT GPS... COM 8 is norm
4) External GPS setting in the Start>Settings tab
hardware port is where you put the outgoing port in (3)
software port is where you put for your GPS software... COM4 is norm
third column where WinMo will manage GPS, say yes
This worked for me:
I have a Hermes (WM6.5) with a holoux bluetooth GPS, but the GPS was not connecting for me properly either. It seems to be a problem with the way WM6.1 pairs with bluetooth devices.
I managed to get mine to work without reflashing by downloading this alternative bluetooth manager:

Hope this helps.
Not trying to bump up an old thread for no reason, but I figured this info would be helpful for people utilizing searches.
After lots of research and frustration the past week I have gotten my external GPS (USGlobalSat BT-368i) to work with my HTC Fuze! Below are the steps I followed that have worked for me. Note that I still have the phone configured to use the internal GPS if the program is set to "Let windows manage GPS settings".
1. Pair the device using Bluetooth.
2. Under the devices tab select your external gps device, and check the box to use "Serial Port". Then choose Save.
2. Under the Bluetooth settings choose "COM Ports" tab.
3. Choose "New Outgoing Port", and then select your device and click next. Choose your port and preferred "secure" option. Then click Finish. (I have configured mine to use COM0 & Secure Connection)
The device will still show as "Disconnected", and you will not be able to connect it under the Bluetooth manager. It will give you an error saying unable to connect.
To use the external GPS device you can simply select the outgoing port you configured above in your program, and most likely you will use a baud rate of 4800. Once you enable the GPS in the program it should connect itself via Bluetooth to your device and begin using it.
You should also be able to configure it to automatically use your external GPS instead of the internal one under the "External GPS" settings, but my current ROM has the hardware portion of External GPS manager broken @ the moment. Therefore I have not configured this, and cannot confirm it.
Hope this helps someone!
Both my wife and I have SGH-T959V with stock 2.3.6 firmware. We have numerous bluetooth devices these two phones are paired to.
My questions.... Once paired, a device should always show up on the bluetooth setting page (as PAIRED) even if that device is turned off or not within distance, right? What if unpairing has been done from that device?
The Scan Device button is to scan new unpaired but ready to be paired (30 sec or so) devices, right? And it has nothing to do with the paired device list below it, right?
Last question. If I turn off the bluetooth on my T959V and turn it back on, my panasonic KX-TG7745 link-to-cell desktop phone would not reconnect even it is set to auto-reconnect every 1 min. I have to manually connect it on my T959V. That is annoying but is that normal?
The problem I have is I am always losing paired devices on the paired device list on my T959V. Power cycling or removing battery might or might not get every device back.
Anyone having the same problem?
Bluetooth on the stock GB ROMs was wildly unreliable for me. I never figured out what it was, but my Motorola hands-free unit would sometimes not connect, sometimes disappear, and often not connect the audio.
I find that the Bluetooth support on AOKP (and probably most of the ICS ROMs derived from the TeamAcid line) to be greatly improved. Shoot, even just being able to give my Motorola a name so I can tell it from the same model in my wife's car is worth it!
So, I noticed that my Bluetooth no longer works on my Focus.
I have it interloped unlocked and running OS version 7.10.8862.144
I was trying a Bluetooth file transfer program, and it no longer enables. If I toggle it, my phone thinks it's on, but the status bar icon never shows up. It can't see other bluetooth devices and they can't see it.
My guess is that the file transfer program screwed up some settings.
Anyone willing to look for the settings I should have in the registry and possibly the driver names?
What is your Bluetooth file transfer program?
I removed it after it didn't work. The suppose bigger issue is that I tried a few programs, and I don't remember the names.
The ones I remember are as fallows : BT Transfer, DFT BT File Transfer, and Nokia Bluetooth Share.
DFT BT File Transfer for Full Unlock.
Nokia Bluetooth Share must have Nokia drivers on your phone.
Ok, but my issue is that Bluetooth no longer works at all.
running bone stock - successfully paired and used two different sets of headphones, but after powering off, or turning off bt, the devices will not auto-reconnect (or manually reconnect, for that matter). The previously paired devices show in the list...but do not connect when turned on. When I select the name to manually reconnect, its says connecting, briefly, then fails to connect. Only way to re-establish connection is to put the headphones in pairing mode, remove the device, and add as new again.
These headphones (both sets) always reconnected without a hitch on my previous phones? Looking through the forum, looks like an uncommon issue.
I am trying to connect a Pokemon Go Plus bluetooth device to a Honor 6X that has never been rooted. The device sometimes shows up in the bluetooth settings list but most of the time nothing appears in the list. Pokemon Go sees the device in the game settings but always fails to connect.
Other devices also don't connect and rarely show up in the bluetooth settings list even though other devices can see them as discover-able.
There doesn't appear to be a way to "forget" a previously connected bluetooth device in the Honor 6X's settings.
I contacted Huawei who keeps saying to do another factory reset but that isn't helping.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this? Is there a solution? Is there somewhere I can find the "forget" bluetooth setting?
Yes, there is a way to forget a device previously registered. Go on Bluetooth menu (or long press Bluetooth icon on shortcuts panel) and activate Bluetooth; under there you'll find previously registered devices. Tap on the information icon beside (the "i") and on the following menu, tap on "forget" or dissociate.
