Hey all,
I recently installed RR on my OPO because it looks awesome and because I was hoping it would fix some bluetooth issues i've been having with the phone. It is awesome, but unfortunately didn't fix my bluetooth-aches.
I was reading somewhere that it is possible to "change the bluetooth radio" (???). I think it means install new drivers? Anyways, does anyone know of a way I can try out a completely different bluetooth driver (stack?, radio?, software?, etc...).
The symptoms are:
Pairing to certain devices is a nightmare, it takes upwards of 20 tries and even then sometimes it doesnt work. When it does, it stays paired and connects most of the time automatically.
I have a Garmin D2 that simply won't pair with the phone. Using the garmin app, the phone complains about the key being incorrect (the 6 digit bluetooth key) but it is...
Anyways, if someone can point me in the direction of a bluetooth radio that is compatible with RR, i'd appreciate it.

Anybody reporting problems with the new 6.1 ROMs trying to pair up certain devices? I used the latest L26 V2 and am having problems pairing with my car, and pairing with my laptop took several tries and reboot. It was no problems with 6.0 or earlier 6.1 builds. Is bluetooth affected by the Radio version? thanks!
Same here...
In every cars with integrated Bluetooth something, I cannot pair the phone.
Either the car does not "see" it or the mobile does not "see" the car.
I tried with many cars, same issue...
I used to have the same problems connecting to my Pioneer AVIC HD3BT. On some other forum I did read about changing the registry and it worked for me. This is the key which needs to be adjusted, I hope it will do the trick for you too;
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway and find the BTAGExtModule. Most like the value will be something like OEM... (sorry don't remember exactly anymore), change it to \Windows\vcbthag.dll
Sometimes (depending on the ROM i use) it seems only possible to get it paired one way, for example start the pairing on the device instead of the carkit.
Also make sure that during pairing your device is set to visible in the bluetooth options.
Hope it helps
Hi,
I am using my HTC Touch Pro with an Opel Vectra built-in bluetooth carkit.
All functions, like browsing the address book and call registers, are working fine. However, at random times, my carkit reports no phone. When I then check my Touch Pro's bluetooth status, I see that it is has been disabled.
After manually re-enabling it, I can pair with my carkit for as long as it takes for bluetooth to turn itselves off again.
I've already tested with JETware, but that does not change anything. Also tried the universal broadcom bluetooth stack, but doesn't seem to work on the Touch Pro. HTC only comes with a standard answer that they don't support all carkits and headsets... Since the BT stack on the phone seems to crash, I don't think it's a carkit issue.
Anyone here with the same issue? And maybe a solution?
Thanks and regards!!
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth -> Timeout (tab). Turn off Visible mode set to "Never".
I think this must be your problem.
Hi Freco,
Thanks for your reply! This option is set. However it's not really the visibility that turns to invisible, but the whole bluetooth stack is being turned off completely. Need to fully re-enable it via Comm Manager.
Any other options? Does anyone know if there is a working broadcomm stack for the Touch Pro?
Regards!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with a Vauxhall kit, I have tried all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work
try:
start -> settings -> connections -> bluetooth
timeout tab
select 'never' from drop down box
Hi Brendo,
Unfortunately this doesn't solve the issue. Once paired, the connection even works without being visible. It's also not a fixed period of time before the disconnect takes place (can be within a minute, sometimes after half an hour). However, the whole bluetooth icons disappears from the top icon bar and comm manager shows it's turned off completely.
Hope somebody has any other ideas, because the only thing HTC can do is point to the carkit vendor :-(. Since all functionality is there when connected and the phone is turning off BT in some way, I really don't think this is caused by the carkit vendor. I should at least expect BT to stay enabled on the phone.
Thanks!
Yes, same here, BTW I have tried this in my Friends Saab, and the same problem.
same problem here with a Opel DVD90 buildin bluetooth carkit.
With other htc phones it always worked like a charm, but my mda vario IV continuously disconnects after a random time period and shuts down the complete stack.
Try this!
I have the same problem with my opel with original bluetooth-kit (2007). On the touch pro I changed the band and network from auto to GSM, as G3 reseption in this area is quit poor, especialy while driving. It helped for me, at least the last few days. I agree this has been an annoying problem.
I have tried to switch to "GSM only mode" in the past, but as far as I remember it does not completely solve the issue. However, I will give it another shot! Actually I can't figure out at what point it occurs... It can happen within a minute or after half an hour without using any funtion.
Does one of you know if there is a way to do some debugging on the Bluetooth stack?
And has anyone experience with other Windows Mobile 6.1 based phones in this combination (just curious if it's a WM issue or HTC only)?
Furthermore I did some tests with JetWare. You should be able to limit the number of synchronised items then (might be related to this issue). However, it looks like this configured limit is being totally ignored: when I limit my recent call list to 5 with JetWare, it still syncs about 25 items. Anyone tested with Jetware?
I have tried the GSM only mode, this didn't help either
I have now given up and got myself a Nokia E66, which works perfectly.
All contacts are pushed to car, no disconnects and AD2P works so my mp3 ringtones play through the car speakers! Sweet
Word of note, I had issues with N-Series phones, would connect ok, but contacts would not push.
I have the samen problem with my HTC Touch Pro and Saab.
bluetooth pairs just fine with my pioneer bluetooth enabled deck, but the problem iwth mine is once i receive a call sometimes no sound comes from the car, instead the earpiece is still on. but if i initiate the call first sound works just fine and earpiece on the phone is disabled, BUT once the call is ended bluetooth disconnects randomly and the phone takes a good 1-2min to reconnect. i absolutely hate the bluetooth on this phone!

I am having the same problems you describe. Anyone got an suggestions???
I encountered the same problem; first with an opel udp carkit and next with the bluetooth interface software from homeseer.
It has something to do with phone signal loss.
With the opel carkit I noticed bluetooth automatically turns off when the phonesignal switched from 3g to gsm.
I also noticed that in my home, BT turns off whenever I have been in a room with no phone-signal reception.
try this thread, both registry change and attached cab file, reset. DOn't worry if the make visible to all option is unchecked.

I'm having trouble with my Jabra BT250v and my Fuze. The Jabra always worked perfectly with my Nokia phone so I don't believe it's a problem with the unit. The first oddity I noticed is that it paired automatically without asking for a code. After researching this I found out that the new Bluetooth driver does this by design with non secure items like headsets and such by trying a series of commonly used codes like "0000", "1234". That's all good and well, and it does seem to pair up, but I've read that other devices have trouble being bombarded with codes like that and even though it shows up as paired, it doesn't work. I'm not sure if this is the cause of my problem or not, but is the only obvious thing I could pick out.
I've tried putting the ear piece back into the charging cradle to reset it before trying to pair it. I've tried the standard pairing procedure by turning the device on by holding the power button for 8+ seconds until the light goes solid. I've tried the alternate method of holding both the power and volume up button to pair it in the handsfree mode. I've manually set it to handsfree mode once the device is listed on the phone. I'm really out of things to try to get this going.
Basically it pairs and all looks good but I don't get any sound out of the unit and trying to initiate a call or redial does nothing. The phone just keeps going as if it never paired up at all. I'm hoping someone has some more ideas I could try as I would really like to get this working. I wasn't sure if there was a way to just re-install the Bluetooth stack, or even an alternate Bluetooth driver I could try. If it does have something to do with the auto-pairing feature, does anyone know how to disable this? I'm willing to try damn near anything that can help me pinpoint the problem. I haven't been able to locate any Bluetooth troubleshooting tools and even looked at the service manual, but they just put it through a simple test and it doesn't delve into anything deeper.
Lastly I should mention that I am able to use Active Sync over Bluetooth with my laptop and it does ask for a pairing code so I'm really stumped. I guess it is a possibility that the Jabra is messing up since I last used it with my Nokia about 2 weeks ago, it just seems highly unlikely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Eidolen
I searched but found nothing in relation exactly. So this is kindof weird, thats why I'm posting. I searched through google, LG forums, jawbone forums and t-mobile forums, nothing exactly in relation (especially dealing with multiple ROM's) or any type of fix to a related issue.
So, I have a jawbone 2 headset device. Stock before I did anything, it paired. Diddnt use it for a while their, and then stared flashing some ROM's. I mainly used cm7 based rom's and paired my headset just fine, very easily actually and fast. I'm having proximity sensor issues, so I had to revert back to a froyo build (EB right now) but the same goes for ultimate rom.
Every time I try and connect initially, i get a force close on the settings. (when jawbone is in pairing mode) Then its in the list of bt connections of course, and i try and re-connect it and it spits out: Their was a problem pairing with Jawbone because the PIN or Passkey is incorrect. Now I havnt been able to find out how to either change the key or the pass. The key is the default 0000, I have even reset the jawbone to when I turn it on, its in auto pair mode. I have done hard-reboots, battery out's almost everything I can think of
So I'm stuck, any information would be completely awesome, and I hope its not super easy... Well I do, but it will not credit my intelligence.

There's no answer in this old thread but I am having the exact same issue. It's happening on 2 different phones with different ROMs (Bionix and Weapon). I had the issue before on Weapon 2.8 so I downgraded to 2.7 and it was working. I then when reset my headset to connect it to the other phone, and it's giving me the problem again. Has anyone solved this? I am using a Blu Ant Q2, is that a bad device for this phone? Thanks.
Pairing SGS3 to Jawbone
So frustrating. Hours spent on this. Have 2 Jawbone II s and neither will pair with Samsung Gal S3. Soooooo frustrating. No answers on web to date. Have tried reset of Jawbone. Tried holding TALK button. Tried pairing in every way. No success. Sgs3 does detect many things but not Jawbone. Please answer. [email protected]. Thankyou out loud!!!!!!
Hi all,
I've upgraded from my Nexus 4 to 5 and I've found that when I make or receive calls in my new Mercedes A Class the person on the other end can't hear me so seems the mic isn't working through bluetooth. The N4 has absolutely no issues with this and I could do everything. The only extra feature I've gained with the N5 is that I can now read my text messages on the screen where the N4 didn't but didn't even know that was there.
Anyone either have a Mercedes and having this issue or does anyone know what it could possibly be? It's a bit useless if I can't make or receive calls while driving and annoying that they could've gone backwards making it less compatible than the N4 was.
Only thing I thought was possibly Mercedes aren't compatible with the latest BT version but then again it should surely be backwards compatible.
Any help appreciated.

I have no issues in my CLA45 AMG. I have not used the text feature but voice control with the mic is spot on.
I did have a dealer update for the COMAND system off the lot that updated Bluetooth compatibility.

Thanks mate, strange that this is my second device as RMA'd my first for something else but that didn't work either.
I've gotta go into MB and see about something anyway so will ask if there's anything they can think of. I've not got COMMAND only the Audio 20 system so not sure if that gets any updates.
Same thing

FX35 has same exact problem
Shouldn't be anything to do with newer Bluetooth profiles, mine works perfectly with the old COMAND in my CLS which uses the Bluetooth puck in the armrest so must be using fairly old profiles. In fact I'm really pleased as it doesn't suffer any of the disconnection problems that loads of android devices suffer from like my old xperia did and I gather most Samsungs do to.
Mercedes benz bluetooth nexus 5
Hi all,
I just converted from iphone 4s to the new Nexus 5 and when I try to pair it for bluetooth hands free, the car display says "ready for telephony" but the car doesn't show up in my bluetooth devices on the phone. And yes bluetooth is turned on on the phone. My iPhones paired just fine. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Have you selected for the car to search for device/phone or device to search for car? I had to select search from device so they both aren't searching at the same time. Try turning the bluetooth on the car off and then on and select search from device/phone, on the phone hit search for devices and see if it picks it up. After I hit search for devices the car showed. I was able to easily get it working both ways as long as I did it the right way round with one searching and one being visible.

i am not sure i am following/understanding correctly.
i turn bluetooth on on my phone then hit the "tel" button on my console and it says "ready for telephony". On the phone where it shows devices it has found, it does not show MB. Above the found devices i click to so that my nexus 5 is visible (for 2 minutes, it also shows the count down in parenthesizes) while the display on the car still says "ready for telephony" and still get nothing. could it be that the car is still searching for my old iphone? i dont know what to do.

Just putting it on the telephone screen won't get it ready for pairing it's just ready for any existing connections you have.
On my MB's screen after choosing to add my phone I have a choice whether to search for the phone via the car or to search via the phone where the car will then just remain visible without searching itself. You must have an option to add a new phone? When I changed phones it still let me add my new one even when my N4 was still listed. Maybe take a pic of your screen to show what choices you have?
When the car is ready for pairing it may just list a string of numbers (BT MAC address I guess) until selected and then it will change to MB something or another.
