"Hi guys. Can anybody tell me how do I connect to a bluetooth headest manually through WM 6.0?
I understand that WM6.0 is supposed to do it automatically, but it doesnt . There has GOT to be a way for me to sync the TyTnII with my bluetooth headset manually.
My headset is Jabra320s (piece of crap), and it does not allow me to connect to the TyTnII manually through the headest because there is no menu LCD on the headset. Therefore, in order to connect my TyTnII and my Jabra manually, this must be done though the phone."

"hm...its pair'd....here is the situation
even though it is pair'd, when i goto the bluetooth connects scree (device tab) there are no options to connect. the only options that come up are "edit, delete, set as hands-free, set as wireless stereo". theres no connect option. so i cannot tell it to connect....
sometime sit connects automatically, sometimes it simply doesnt, no matter how many times i restart it or the headset. sometimes even when i RE-PAIR it, it still does not connect."
I'm trying to connect my phone (ATT HTC Tilt) with a stereo bluetooth headset or trying to send files and everytime I scan for new devices it gives me an error stating "PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE"
Additionally, the "Turn on Bluetooth" option always turns off automatically....
What is going on? Can anyone help?
Please...
Anyone who experienced this or can give me a hand? Thanks!!
I had this same problem all of a a sudden on my Kaiser. But after doing a hard reset this got resolved.
And now i just flashed Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Its amazing update..
Cheers
Thanks Arun...
Tried the hard reset NO LUCK! Problem persists, and bluetooth keeps turning off. I go back to the wireless manager and check both boxes and they come back off in 30 seconds!!
When searching for devices it says (ERROR: PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE)
Not able to beam or receive files at all.
Any help? Thanks so much!!
Same Problem
Running into same problem here. I haven't even updated the ROM from stock yet, although I have done the JumpSPL step (cuz I received the white screen). My Radio is 1.27.14.09.
Any help is appreciated.
I would think that if you have done a hard reset and you don't install anything and you still have a problem then you **** is borked. time to do a warranty exchange.
has your bluetooth ever worked, with the rom that is currently on your phone?
Problem with Bluetooth Hardware!!!!
I am having the same problem. I have the stock AT&T ROM. Here is exactly what is happening:
The bluetooth is not working on my Tilt at all. It has lost connections with devices that it was already paired with (a Motorola Q Global and a headset). All attemps to pair the devices again lead to the following: "Error: Problem with Bluetooth Hardware".
When I go to Bluetooth Settings through the Comm Manager, then Mode and check "Turn on Bluetooth" and "Make this device visible to other devices", it unchecks as soon as I exit the settings menu. The Comm Manager constantly shows the bluetooth being off and when I tap the icon, the phone "thinks" for awhile and then it greys out again.
The only change that I have made from the time that it was working is to install the iphone package, and a today plugin (which I have since uninstalled) found here.
I recently changed my Kaiser Tweak bluetooth settings: I changed the BitPool from 'medium' to 'very high', but my headset was still working after that. The other settings are:
Sample Rate - 48000 (Advised)
Use Joint Stereo - Enabled (Default)
Receive Files - Enabled
Any ideas/suggestions?

They only way to fix the problem was for me to do a hard reset.
Are there any app's available which allows the Bluetooth on my Hero to be set as always discoverable. My handsfree car kit used to auto connect to my old Windows mobile device but now I have to make my Hero discoverable every time I enter my car and its very annoying.
DITTO
i would love this too, as it is a pain in the arse having to activate it all the time. Another stupid "improvement" from HTC.....what the hell were they thinking ???
You can add a Bluetooth On/Off Widget on one of the home screens.
Once the Hero is paired the devices should discover themselves with no issue. Set to discoverable or not.
My car kit very very rarely does not see and auto connect to the Hero. On the odd occasion that it doesn't connect, turning Bluetooth on and off via the HTC widget usually gets it hooked back up.
Its not perfect, but TBH no less perfect than other handsets I've owned.
Bluetooth file transfer is what we are really missing.
Having a nightmare with my car kit - PARROT CK3100 LCD and T-mobile G2
I have to turn on bluetooth make it discoverable the enter the pairing code ( everytime as it does not seem to keep the code) then the Parrot LCD flashes " MEM FULL " twic and then it connects but does not see the address book
Any suggestions much appreciated

Flash it
I was having very similar problems connecting my Hero to my car Bluetooth, it just would not pair, or work , i have flashed the official HTC update rom onto my Hero and now it connects everytime, no discover mode needed, and it works like a dream, you might want to give it a go, i fixed my issues .

I don't know why you have to keep pairing - mine auto detects no prob - both on stock G2 rom and Modaco 2.2e.
I can help you with the address book though - put a contact on your sim card. Anything will do, just make one up. Thereafter, I think you'll find your address book syncs.
Haven't seen the mem full thing, but I do recall you can only have five devices paired to the ck3100, so maybe you need to delete a pairing?
Cheers.

Android Bluetooth Discoverable Mode
Hi!
I'm having a similar problem with trying to keep the bluetooth on discoverable mode for some longer time as well. The phone I'm working with is the Nexus One and I was hoping anyone could help finding a way to get the app to turn on the discoverable mode automatically without having to request the user every 120 seconds or 300 seconds? The API for Bluetooth really limits me from making the duration of the discoverable mode longer and allowing me to change the bluetooth setting without user permission. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

That is well and great that it reconnects for many people. But, for many people it does not! I have Myn's Donut running from my sd on my HTC Touch. It never auto-connects to my Pioneer Avic-f90bt. I have to make it discoverable or turn the bluetooth off/on every time I get in the truck. When I run the phone with WM6 it always, always auto connected...always. So if the easy fix is an app to leave bluetooth on, how hard can it be for a programmer to do this. Simply saying "oh, it works fine on my phone" doesn't help us!
Hi guys,
I have an X1 and a new Nokia6600 slide.
I have them both paired to my laptop and car (which have both bluetooth built-in) Both of the phones have bluetooth enabled and are always visible, all options to disable bluetooth or to stop being visible are disabled.
The biggest difference is this....
When I turn on my laptop or step into my car, my Nokia says, look I found your laptop/car, you're now connected! (without me doing a single thing)
My X1 is like ".........................." nothing... I have to manually enable the connection via for example ActiveSync, and chose to connect via bluetooth and then everything works fine.
I checked every setting concerning bluetooth or security and everything but I just can't find an option to make my X1 act the same as my 6600. It also doesn't matter if I just turn off the 6600 and have only the X1 turned on.
Maybe it is a setting, maybe it needs some tool or something.. I hope somebody here can help me or point me into the right direction.
Thanks!
Hello!
I bought an SBH20, paired with my XZ via NFC, listened to music, then disconnected the headset, using the NFC.
After a while, i tred to connect again via NFC but all i get is a 'connecting' message, BT turning on -white BT icon- but no real connection, therefore the BT turns off.
After several tries it finally connects, but it's not reliable this way.
I noticed, if i enter to settings(not turning anytihng on/off) and trying to connect (still using NFC), everything works fine: connects, disconnects perfectly, and handles the BT as it should.
I've reseted the headset, tried single and multi point modes aswell. Deleted the BT devices, then repaired, still got the problem.
Am i doing sth wrong? I want to connect and disconnect the headset with a simple touch, and not toggling the BT manually (NFC yeah...) Is this something, SBH20 is not compatible with?
(btw sony support says: "For subsequent connections between devices that have already been paired once, make sure that Bluetooth™ is turned on so that the devices can connect automatically." If it's a "must" , then what is the [email protected] use of the NFC??? Just to pair once???)
Please share your experiences! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading ( and sorry for my english)
I actually have the same problem using the SBH50. For me sometimes it connects perfectly fine, other times it doesn't and I have to go into bluetooth settings after which it seems to connect properly.
I have noticed that it also depends on how I disconnect it; if I remember to touch the headset to disconnect then next time when I try to connect I have more chance of it being successful. Also, when I try to connect I hold the headset aganist the phone even after the ‘connecting’ popup until I get the 'connected' popup.
These are just work-arounds which aren’t always 100% successful though so would be good to find out what the proper method is.

It is a real shame... In my case it's the opposite, if i touch the headset to disconnect, the next nfc-connect tends to be less successful.
(and i noticed that it also matters if i turn off the headset after disconnected, or not)
And what is really odd, that i don't have to do anything in the settings menu ( or bluetooth settings) just open it, and everything works like a charm...( all connect or disconnect tries are succesfull, no exception, even if i push the headset repeatedly to the pohone's back)
I'm not affraid to mod some system files, apps, maybe build.prop tweaks, but i don't know where to start. In bulild.prop there are only a few nfc related lines (tried to enable/disble those)
So i'm not alone...maybe even more people are in the same boat, trying to solve this.
Again; any related info is welcome
I also have a sbh50 but i normally disconnect by turning off the headset. I have set it in smartconnect to turn off bluetooth automatically when the connection shuts off but it doesnt always do that.
It reconnects with no issues when bluetooth is on and i turn the headset on again. I use the nfc tap only for the initial pairing.
The only issues I have is the google music skipping issue that i posted the other day and the gmail smart connect not working on the sbh50

Well, then we don't have the same issue. I tought i could use the nfc for connect/disconnect (i actually still think it is capable of that, just sony messed up sth)
Could you try to connect/disconnect and connect again with your devices, please :angel:
I'm really curious about this whole nfc story ( why does the headset have the chip/tag if it only works for initial pairing -its not a big deal to pair manually, especially that it has to be done just once-, and on the other hand: if i put nfc in the device, why not put in this functoin too- not a big deal: a proper working BT toggle, but it brings a tad more functionality-
