Bluetooth won't connect anymore (HTC Desire 500) - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble with my HTC DESIRE 500. I used bluetooth on this device before, and it worked properly fine. I tried connecting bluetooth to the bluetooth of my car, and that went well too. But at a certain random moment, it stopped working and now it won't even connect anymore, not even at home.
When I hit the "ON" switch next to 'Bluetooth' in settings, it says its trying to connect and then, after a while, it stops trying and nothing happens......... It's very frustrating, never had this on any of my other phones!
What can I do? :-/
Thanks in advance!!
Cheers,
Samantha

Hi,
First of all how are you doing im New at this forum, hope you are doing well.
I also just got a desire 500. A few weeks after the last update this happened to me aswell. I also found that my phone now does not show a Bluetooth address anymore in the about section of the settings menu.
Did you manage to solve this problem ?

[Q] Chrome to Phone - Not compatible with Desire S

Hi guys,
Looked at the Market and found out that Chrome to Phone is not compatible with the Desire S
Am I the only one getting this problem and is there a workaround?
Thank you
Has worked fine for me from day one with the Desire S. Try unistalling from both phone and Chrome, then install again.
Mike.
Works perfectly - you need it installed on both on your phone as an extension on your PC
What I meant was that android market website says my phone is incompatible and won't let me install.
Worked around by getting an apk from somewhere else.
Anyway thanks for all your help!

That is odd. Not an issue with my Desire S.
No problems at all with this thing, too
It's not the phone actually, it's the country (click the small plus icon). I had the same thing, just some bull**** for "lesser" countries. Search the apk on XDA, that's how I got it and it works fine.

Same to me .. I can pair with somebody but I can't recieve or send anything ? Using ARH 6.3.0 XE
any update on issue
is there any update on issue.
I am facing the same problem after i upgraded to official OTA update for ma htc sensation.
I was able to use Bluetooth very well on the newest android revolution HD, if you look around I think it might be in Bluetooth settings, there is an option that allows the phone to be picked up by other Bluetooth devices and it only lasts for 120 seconds and if the time runs out you have to run it again. Once connected to the device a notification will appear asking if you want the files, click yes , accept or whatever it is and the transfer wwill begin.
Hope this helped.

What type of router do you use and are you running any custom ROMs or just stock? Also how many devices are signed on to router at time of failure.

different type of wifi issue.... I think

Hello Everyone. I have an att one X that is having an odd wifi issue. I've googled and only found the hardware wifi issue and im pretty sure that's not what i have. I actually got this phone on a trade for a one s, when i recieved the X it alrealdy had the venom rom installed. so at first i thought that it was just maybe a bad rom flash because i looked at the rom build and it was one of the earlier versions, but i flashed cm10 and the issue is still there. The issue with my wifi is that it doesn't connect to anything even if im right next to the router. it doesn't seem to find the router and it'll constantly pickup random wifi signals and not the one i want, but regardless it will never connect. all of the info i've seen out there about the hardware problem says its a week signal problem with both wifi and Bluetooth but it'll still connect. my bluetooth also seems to be working fine. I'm on the new firmware i believe because i have to flash the boot image through fastboot in order to get a rom to load. Can it be the Kernal? i've been reading on this so such for the last two days that i think i read that the kernal must also me flashed in a different way, not straight through the recovery.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try and post a quick video on this issue later on
Bro.. Mr sinco and I have been fighting this issue with aosp ROMs for the last 6-8 weeks.... We've brought it up and seems to be pushed aside.. it started making me mad enough to where I'm back on sense ROMs. (Not that there's anything bad about them, I rather aosp)
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Well i think that rules me out. Because I was on the venom rom which is a sense rom. Maybe I'll try another sense rom and see if that works for me
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Hmmm sense ROMs have always been good... Maybe try to delete that ROM off of sdcard, do a clean download of cleanrom or something, and try everything fresh.. don't do a backup or anything... 100% clean install and see what happens

i too have been effected by poor wifi performance on all aosp ROMs (specifically AOSP JB rom's) rohan has asked me to provide a log at i have to do so, i just figured theres no way no one else doesnt have the issue and one of his irc buddies or someone with more knowledge would provide one...however we're months later and i still have the issue, i suppose its time i buckle down and logcat the poor man.
Thanks really hope that works. I really like this phone and it would be a shame if it was some other type of hardware issue I can't fix

Well my problem is connecting.. it can take up to 20 minutes just to latch on. Once its connected the performance OK OK, nothing to complain about but nothing to brag about either.

Which rom are you using?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Its the router not the phone. Well kinda.... the phone(with aosp or cm installed) does not handle certain securities that some router use. I have been troubleshooting the best I can and I finally got mine to work but you need to be able to adjust router settings

How do I edit router settings? This happens on every aosp ROM..
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
It happened to me on every ROM I tried that wasn't a sense ROM. I ended up having to turn of DMZ and WPS. After that I got my normal download and upload speeds and it always stays connected.

Did it start connecting as soon as you turned it on?

Yes after I turned off DMZ and WPS everything worked right away.

Do you turn this off in the phone or the router?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
On the router. DMZ is a security subnetwork to help keep internet "things" out of your router. WPS is also on the router and helps people who have trouble connecting devices to their router to be able to just hit a button to connect. Turn them both off in the router settings.

Another question. So your phone still doesn't connect to any type of secured wifi networks with any rom period?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Idk. I haven't test on many networks. Only home and work. Work has limited security. So it connects fine

i realize my post was far from informative...yes my issue is it not conecting as well. will try, but if you watch it, it stops and just sits at "secured, not in range" or wtf ever. After you put the password in, turn the screen off and let it sleep for a minute, i bet when you turn the screen on itll be connected (its been my only solution so far)
Well PLUKK thanks for all of the feedback. My issue is experiencing it's own unique characteristics and issues I haven't seen, but also includes some of yours. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test on any open unsecured network yet. But the thing with my phone is that it will literally be right next to the router and it sometimes won't show the router in my list of available networks but it'll show others. And all of them are secured. I've tried this at my home and my girlfriends home and here at the school I work at. I work at college so WIFi is everywhere and I've never had problems connecting before, but the issue is that it doesn't even show up on the available networks sometimes it it'll show a network I've never seen. I'll try and post a video about this issue a little later. As I know I'm probably Not getting my point across very well.

Every router is different and each one has security set up different. That's why some you see and some you don't. It is the phones ROM causing issue BUT it can be solved by adjusting settings. Since you can't do that if the router is not yours then you can
A. Wait for a fix
B. Use a sense ROM
C. Turn off WiFi
I have tried myself for a week trying to fix my phone too but I have the know how to only do so much. Good lukk

[Q] ZTE Tania broken Wi-Fi

Good evening everyone, I've just got a ZTE Tania from a friend, and after one week i already have a problem with the phone. The Wi-Fi just stopped working, after turning it on, it starts searching for Wi-Fi networks, but with no success. Tried at my workplace, at home, everywhere where my Grand X found any network. The problem is not related to the 7.8 update, it stopped working before i updated it. Tried reseting it to default settings, than updated to 7.8, but its the same: Searching for network->nothing found. I really don't know what caused this problem and how to fix it. If anyone met with something like this I would appreaciate any tip or explanation.
Any idea? Someone?
Have you tried using a wifi app from the play store?

I've tried few wi-fi apps, wi-fi analyzers, but the phone just doesnt recognizes any network. I guess something happened with the wi-fi chip, i hope i dont have to change the whole pba. Anyway I guess that I'll bring it to a service next month.
See if you can melt the WiFi chip back onto the motherboard.
There's heaps of YouTube walkthroughs for that.
