Hi,
I have a question about bluetooth on my Cruise. I have a bluetooth Headset "Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset" (bluetooth 1.2 and no a2dp).
My problem is that it is not detected by my phone.
Is there a way to do it works ?
Thanks
I need a little bit more details:
What have you already done? Have you ever had a running bluetooth port?
Normal procedure should look like:
Is your bluetooth device set to receive signal?
On mobile go to settings - connections - bluetooth. Folder devices: Is the device already visible? Otherwise type in Add new device. Now you should see the new device. Do your headset require a password? Type in the same as given in the manual. Connection is established.
probably you have to put headset in pairing mode, otherwise your phone cannot detect it....
Hi,
Thanks for your responses.
stefan1959: my device is not visible by my phone, even I add new device.
my bluetooth is active and my headset is on. I have another phone (Samsung D500) and my headset is detected by it.
But I have paired it a long time ago, and it is already known by my phone (D500).
I will look at the manual (if I find it !) if there is a special thing to do to put the headset in pairing mode (thanks nushuth).
I'll post here when I did it.
Thanks

There usually is special procedure. Headsets do not operate in discovery/pairing mode all the time, so your problem solution should be there.
Ok thanks everybody. It works with paring mode.
I forgot it because I have another headset and there is no need to do that.
Thanks again.
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.

Guys, I have a BT device in my car that is connected to my car audio system. I've set up my nexus 5 to connect to it, and it works great, but there is one flaw - the phone won't auto connect to it when I turn it on, I will have to turn BT off and back on on my phone for it to discover the car BT and then it will immediately connect to it. *I always leave the BT on on my nexus5 in hopes that it will auto connect but in never does, only auto connected about 4 times out of the dozens of times iv'e used it. any ideas?

I don't know if this is a flaw with your Bluetooth device or your phone. I have some devices that auto-connect and some that don't. I doubt you car BT device will have many options (if any) but maybe check and see (if you haven't already) if it has an auto-connect option or something along those lines.
Do you have any other BT devices you can test connecting and disconnecting to/from like you would your car? Eliminate if it's the stereo or your phone. You could also using something like Tasker and create a profile to do what you want. Just a thought.
Hope this helps.
It's most likely the fault of your cars Bluetooth system. Some just don't reliably autoconnect. Try a kinivo bt module 40 bucks on Amazon, works perfectly.

Hey buddy, thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll try and see if I can find another BT device to test my phone with. One thing I did test today, that I don't do every day, is to turn my phone BT off and back on BEFORE turning on the BT device I have in my car, then I turned the device on, and it connected immediately.. This shows its more likely to be a fault with the phone..

I'll try and find it on ebay, Amazon does ship to my country but for some reason the shipping cost is the same or sometimes more than the item itself..
my BT device connects to phone on power up, e.g. when start car
Well, today it auto connected, I got in my car with my son, and didn't have a chance to unlock the phone to check if it connected to the BT, but when I checked, about 20 minutes after getting in my car, the BT was connected. this got me thinking maybe there's a connection delay, when I'll leave work today I'll see if it'll connect on it's own after leaving it alone.

I use PlayerPro to autostart playing when bluetooth is connected. It's better than PowerAmp.

Mine won't auto connect to bluetooth until I've gotten far enough from my house that my phone disconnects from WiFi. Maybe this was what you experienced too? I'm unsure.
I'm pretty sure I remember this setting being available in the preview versions just like in kitkat, but on the recently released images I cannot find the setting to change the bluetooth visibility setting to never time-out. The pioneer bluetooth stereo in my car absolutely will not recognize the presence of my phone unless it is discoverable.
Am I missing something, or has this option simply been removed.
If it has been removed I'm hoping maybe there is something I can modify to get this option back.
Thank you

If you open the bluetooth settings it says, that your device is visible to all devices as long bluetooth is enabled. Only in this screen your bluetooth device is visible to other devices.
I hope google fixes this, because its too confusing.
Yes, unfortunately that's the only reference to bluetooth visibility I have found.
My understanding in 5.0 is that your device's Bluetooth is only visible to paired devices, except when the Bluetooth Settings page is open. When the Bluetooth Settings page is open on your device it will be visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices (which is what you need when pairing). Have you paired the Pioneer Bluetooth stereo with your device?
There no longer appears to be an option as there was on 4.4 to permanently set 'Visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices'. However, why would you want that, other than when setting up pairing? It's a security risk.

I'm in your same situation, I was googling around and I found this... I'm on CM12 and wish that we can find a solution for make the bluetooth always discoverable on AOSP roms. I own a Lg G3 and on the stock Android 5.0 rom the option (like in KitKat) it still there!
The only reason I was really looking for this features is that my older Pioneer head-unit in my car (DEH-P9800BT) won't connect automatically to my phone unless the phone is discoverable. I've managed to adapt my other bluetooth connections that were set this way to work without the option, but I've tried for years (since my Palm Treo 650p) to get the head unit to connect automatically with no luck.
I am also wondering why they have hid this feature...
Looks like they are trying to go like (cr)Apple, whereas your iPhone is only discoverable within the Bluetooth menu.
Coming from the Galaxy S8, I was kind of disappointed to find that the Pixel 2 apparently only connects to one Bluetooth device at once. For example the phone will only connect to my car but not my headset at the same time as the S8 did. I like having that because when you don't want to take calls on the car speaker you can just send the calls to the headset without much issue. Is there anyway to get the phone to connect to multiple devices? Any mods that are available to get it working?

I've not figured out a way. In fact, as of the 8.1 update it made my bluetooth worse. When I connect to a BT device, rather its my headphones at the gym, or my car, I have to dial something and hit "dial" on my dialer. When I do that it makes the hangining up sound and then is free to be used for other things. Quite frustrating, really. :crying:
I had my p2 connected to an aftermarket head unit in my vehicle and set it to media only, connected to my Bluetooth ear piece for calls and shared my internet via Bluetooth to my PS vita at the same time. You just have to play with settings for each device.

I have wondered if its an issue with a mismatch between the two bluetooth devices.
It looks like this has been addressed somewhat in Android P. I am running the beta that was released yesterday and the device is now connecting to multiple bluetooth devices. There is a quirk that requires you to go into the bluetooth menu to change the current active device (Think it might have been like that on the Galaxy too) but it does maintain the connection to multiple devices now. It does automatically switch when you turn off one of the devices, such as your car, so this is definitely progress on this front I think.
