Hi Guys,
Recent got an XDA IIi after being with the older XDA II for over 16 Months.
But I have recently run into problems with my BT Car kit :
Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit HFW-8000.
Basically the problem is that it does not always connect to the Car Kit and when it does it will only from time to time connect and let me have a handfree conversation.
I have also used the Broadcom Bluetooth Cab file here in order to extend what Bluetooth Profiles that can be used but seems not to have any great bearing to stablize the issue.
So I went down the Hard Reset Road but again still intermittent issues, I then upgraded the ROM to the New one on the O2 Website the v 1.11.169 ROM.
I also had similar issues with the XDA II but it was resolved by using the Pocket Bluetooth tools, which was great and never once after installing it did I have any issues with the Car Kit.
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/
One of my questions is, is there a similar programme to to above Pocket Bluetooth tools for the XDA IIi as I have tried it with the XDA IIi but does not work.
Or does anyone know how you would revert to have the XDA II radio or is there a work around for it.
Thanks Guys

Hi Woody_XDA,
I have had my XDA2i for a couple of months now and recently got a O2 blue headset for it, I had simular problems with the headset disconnecting and having to manually connect every time I switched it on. After browsing this wonderfull forum I decided to do a corperate install and get rid of the O2 active interface, since then no problems at all. I now use Pugs modified ROM version 162 with radio 1.04 and have no stability problems at all with no twice weekly reset. Hope this helps you and many thanks to Pug for his ROM.
Mace
Ditto, I also use the custom firmware with 1.04 radio and bluetooth works a charm. It still eats battery like nothing else, but it works with no problems. Also like the fact that the XDA can cope with my GPS receiver and my handsfree kit simultaneously, that's handy for in the car.
Cheers Guys for the information, took it on board and works great, did a great deal of stress testing in order to confirm it and works excellent..Thanks to PUG again and guys thanks for the info much appreciated and this is by far a great forum
Mace - you mention some bluetooth issues being resolved since you applied the custom ROM... I posted in the Alpine Applications forum here the other day a list of issues with bluetooth that I was wondering had been addressed - so far no reply - are these the symptoms that were cured for you??
Hi Bewlay Brother sorry, I missed your other post on Bluetooth issues, my original problem was that every time I switched on my BT headset , which is a O2 Blue, I had to open the BT manager and make the connection, the phone would then occasionally lose the connection and sometimes whilst still showing a connection refuse to transfer the call. This was using the official 162 ROM with the O2 active UI. I have since installed Pugs 162 ROM with radio1.04 and done a corporate install and BT seems to work perfectly, switch on the headset, it connects, never loses pairing and transfers calls.
Hope this helps you, and thanks again to Pug,
Mace.
Mace - what you describe sounds similar - my problems were essentially the loss of pairing with my Motorola headset a lot of the times when the XDAIIi switched off its display and went into stand-by mode, also if I closed the boom bike on the headset (to temporarily turn off the headset) it would fail to re-pair when I next opened the boom mike... the other issue was that I had to make sure the phone keyboard was displayed on the XDA once I had paired up otherwise the last number redial function on the headset would not work - if I pressed the dial button on headset and the phone display was not on the screen it would simply open the phone display function but fail to then dial the number - really crap. Also reception was poor to headset even over relatively short distances from the XDA. IF these areas in particular could be cured by the upgrade then I am eager to do it - I must admit I have read that this upgrade has not been without problems for some people here so it is going to be a tough call.
Just a thought, but have you done a personal or corporate install as I think the main fix with Pugs ROM was the upgrade to radio 1.04, which I don’t think affects the BT, so a corporate install with your existing ROM may make a difference.
Did a corporate install when it was new out of the box...
whats the difference between the corporate and personal install?
Corporate doesn't install ANY of the branded O2 interface - so no gubbins, nothing to slow down the phone, you just get a bog standard Windows Mobile 2003 SE installation, aside from the O2 GPRS and SMS settings. Bosh.
hi
i've been reading the posts and i have the same problem where can i get hold of pug's ROM if it's possible cos this seems to get rid of the problem
And then today, headset will not automatically connect, needing Bluetooth manager to be opened to make the connection. AARRRGH!
BT car kit problems
I have the 1.04 Radio, but it still won't sync with my 2003 BMW 325xi bluetooh or with my 2005 Acura MDX bluetooth.
Help!
Unstable Bluetooth Signal Strength - Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset
Hi, I just got a Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset. It would pair with my O2 XDAIIi but I cannot hear any voice in both incoming and outgoing calls. When I check the BT Manager, it shows a totally unstable BT strength that varies from very strong to very weak. The same headset worked well with other BT phones. My ROM version is 1.11.00 WWE, Radio version 1.04.00.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please Please Please...Help me
I am quite happy with AKU3.2 1.3.2 The only one and strange problem for me is I can not use my BT headset scala-500 as I ever use in WM2003. I can hear voice the one I call. But they can not hear me. They said they hear nothing or some static only.
The symptom is after pairing the headset it works okay. But sometime later(I dont know the real reason)....maybe when it is standby or batt empty, after that it happens. Sometime when I turn on the paired BT headset again ..it recognize each others. But sometime BA ask for the passcode "0000" again like it see a new BT headset.
Please help me...Thank you
alone in the universe....after waiting for any idea and posting about this issue for 2 times ...no single reply.... I give up. Good bye XDA IIs.
your not alone!!!!
I had similar problem with a parrot carkit on bluetooth, i also tried all the wm5 roms available but none worked, back to wm2003 work everytime, me thinks its an underlying bug in wm5/blueangel combo.
My Advice + revert to wm2003

Hello
A while a go, I upgraded successfully to wm2005. Since then, my ba works like a charm. Memory, BT, wifi,... all is going swell! The only aggravating point is I no longer can use my bt headset (jabra bt250v and jabra bt800). The problem is that there's so much disturbance that I cannot hear what people are saying and vice versa. I already upgraded the radio till the last version I could find on the ftp, but no luck.
Today I tried with other headsets (another jabra and another sonyericsson) and I have the same problem. But just now, I hooked it up with a sony ericsson bt carkit and the reception is flawless. Too bad that carkit wasn't mine ;-)
So I'm really at a loss here...
If any of you could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Beldin
Which rom are you using?
I'm using Helmi's 1.4 rom Vanilla version and it works great with my Bluespoon AX and i-Tech Clip Radio.
You might want to hard reset and flash the WM5 and Radio 1.15 rom again.
I have upgraded to the vanilla version, but the problem remains... (nice version btw!)
The following was also the case with the previous version: when I hold my ba very close to my headset, the cracking stops. Then I have not only my ba to my ear, but my headset in between
I also have a bt gps receiver, which works fine, no matter how far in my car.
So now I still wonder why my ba has such a bt audio problem...
try i-tech s35

Hi Beldin2000,
i suggest you to use I-tech Clip s35 with Helmi AKU3.5/vanilla.No proplem so far the sounds great
cheers
Device:O2xda2s/Ba
ROM Version:Helmi AKU3.5 Vanilla
Radio Version:1.15
I have an MDA Vario III branded phone using the HTC ROM 1.56.405.5 and a sony MEX-BT2500 (Bluetooth enabled stereo with A2DP).
http://www.audio66.com/product.asp?id=5616&cat=1&man=6&main=1&userid=&firstsel=cat&variation=
The A2DP works well (except it's a pain to enable/disable it using the WM6 interface!) and I can make outgoing calls fine with the phone paired with the Sony but when incoming calls come in, the ringer is routed to the stereo but when I answer it the voice doesn't and I have to hang up and call the person back.
I paired my work Nokia with the stereo and both incoming and outgoing calls work fine.
I tried the original T-Mobile ROM and still had the same trouble.
I'm assuming (with no knowledge of what I am talking about) that the bluetooth stack on WM6 has some issue with routing incoming calls but I can't find any reference to this problem anywhere else and it would seem to be the kind of problem I'd expect millions of users to have a problem with and that there would be a lot of posts.
Does anyone else use bluetooth handsfree? Does it work properly? Does anyone use a bluetooth stereo and A2DP? Does it work properly? Does anyone know if there's a fix?
Thanks for the info in advance...
mine works Ok with my BT2500 although sometimes it needs to be re-paired
Info
Can you tell me what ROM version you have and what model your phone is, radio version, installed programs etc? so I can try changing things.
If you hae a2dp music being streamed and a call comes in does it still work?
ROM is UK Vodafone out-of-the box original (v1615 = Tytn II) 1.56.161.4
Radio is 1.27.12.11
Have Seuth255's A2DPFix from the Hermes forums (prevents skipping)
MS Voice Command V1.6 (i have a SE BT headset too)
Remainder are general apps, gps etc.
haven't tried a call when music is streaming. will do later and let you know
Works for me too, with the original HTC ROM.
Everything is working fine here. I have a MEX-BT2507X, and there's some random 0.2sec cut every 15mins of playtime, but that's not a problem.
Have you used the quickfix from HTC?

I didn't know about the HTC Quickfix. I've just downloaded it and installed but haven't got round to leaving the PC to test it yet. I'll give it a go later and post back.
Fingers crossed...
Audio not working
My audio is not playing through the car speakers with the BT-2500. I had it professionally installed, but was running late to class so I didn´t fully test it until I got home a few hours ago.
I can control the tracks and play/pause, accept/end calls, and the dash microphone works, but my audio is not being pushed and played for some some reason (does work for CD, and Radio). I tried repairing numerous times, resets, and different programs, but no luck... but audio push worked great on a handsfree kit.
any ideas are greatly appreciate... I will take this back to the shop tomorrow, but I would like to know if anybody else experienced this and how they fixed it.
Thanks!! =)
btw, I use stock AT&T rom

...much, much later...
I finally got round to trying it out and even with the quickfix I still have the same problem. My mate also has a Kaiser so I borrowed that (UK O2 ROM I think) and that doesn't work either.
Most odd. maybe I'll ring Sony.
I have the same problem with my Jabra 620s. Maybe somethings wrong with the headset itself?
Can you let me know ur ROM, radio versions so I can see if we have anything the same.
When I flash my HD with a 1.56 cooked rom, I'm unable to connect with my handsfree. I can pair with the handsfree through bluetooth but I can not hear or speak to anyone.
If I flash with the stock HTC 1.56 rom, I can pair and talk through the handsfree.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried several cooked roms and the outcome is the same.
Thanks!

I have DavidEuck 8.5 running and the bluetooth handsfree with my JVC carkit works fine. Can you try to pair with another bluetooth handsfree set and see if thats works fine? I would recommend at least upgrading to the latest radio.

i have the same problem with most of the cooked roms specilly some times i can not hear the voice of other party this problem arrises with Miri's rom that i like it and Duty's rom that is very famous
for me stock roms and kwbr rom works fine
i have tested 3 devices Motorlla car kit, the expensive new Nokia sterio bluetooth headphone and sony erecsson sterio bluetooth head phone they all have problem with some cooked roms; i hope i can find a wm 6.5 rom that does not have this problem specially with good memory management like miri and kwbr that doesn't eat lots of memory.
Me, too. I am using daviddeuck v6. After 3 weeks sometimes it works and sometimes I cannot hear the other party.
I tried 2 jabra models with the same results.
Same issue
I had the same issue with my parrot 3200LS and Dutty's extreme 2.2/ Laurentius26's L26_THDV2.2_Ultimate Roms.
I even tried JETware Hands-free Extension for Windows Mobile phones (http://www.jetwaremobile.com) --supercool program btw!
But all to no extent.
Reflashing back to Laurentius26's L26_THDV7.5_WWE CE OS 5.2.20769 (Build 20769.1.4.5 L26) ROM "solved" the problem for me.
Now I get my phone's ringtones through my parrot (and thus my car-hi speakers ). Hope the problem is solved in newer roms...
(Btw, great job with your ROMs guys!! )
Y
Happens to me to.
ROM:
dutty v3.4
perhaps we could make a List of working/not worling Roms.
For me it's an essential feature for ROM choice.
Epecially bought a Radio for this feature...
Almost same for me.
Duttys v 3.4 ROM
Ford Car Kit (just talk, no music) connects and works without any problems.
iTech Clip R35 (A2DP, AVRCP) will not pair at all.
(I don't know if the profiles mean anything. Just remembered that there was a lot of talk about supported profiles in the R35 manual.)

Use Onkologs Lite-Rom and it works perfect.
I found i couldnt pair my phone with a few handsfree devices i was testing in a shop - seems there is a problem with the bluetooth stack and the newer roms. Odd this hasnt been reported sooner
i feel there is a problem with the configuration between windows and manilla some where or the driver for blue tooth is not complete that is why it loses the connection somewhere for most of the cooked roms
I agree, there must be something wrong with the bluetooth stack.
When I use a 1.14 ROM, I can hear and speak to people through my hands-free. But, when I flash a 1.56 ROM all I get is "dead air" when I answer a call through my hands-free.
I've tried flashing to Dutty's, Miri's, Laurentius26's, Topix's and a few other rom's, with the same result, I am unable to hear & talk to the other person on my hands-free.
I also tried updating to the 1.14 radio and I've tried older radio's and I still have the same problem.
Starting July 1st, my state will require drivers to use hands-free devices when dialing and driving.

after trying almost all the new roms i returned back to the latest stock rom (28-4-2009) Bluetooth and every thing works absolutely perfect and it has got excellent memory management (only 32% with full loaded program), i use this rom when i want to rely on my HD.
by the way i think all the kwbr roms also works fine with bt. i wish i can find a 6.5 rom that works fine with blue tooth and has got good memory managemt, just waiting may be miri will do something, his rom got good memory management that is very imprtant for me
After the "SD card not shown", this is another weird report by using cooked ROM
has anyone got bluetooth devices to pair with a cooked 6.5 ROM ?
if not this is a pretty major problem ??
Yes I have.
I just got Miri's V15 pairing with my factory fitted Range Rover bluetooth kit and it works perfectly including giving access to the address book.
Previously I was using WM6.1 and many of Dutty's ROMs and I had intermittent drop outs with the car and phone.
Miri's ROM has upgraded my radio so I can't be sure if WM6.5 fixed the problem or if it was the new radio, but for the first time in 6 months I actually have a working hands free kit in my car

Well, that's me fixed...
Both car and iTech Clip works with Duttys 3.7/2.1 ROM.
And I'm ashamed to say; that the clip didn't connect earlier was my fault...
I used default code 0000 as stated in iTech's documentation, not the real default code of 8888...
Once I used the correct code, all was well...

I am using now Laurentius 2.1. My bluetoothheadset that suports only handsfree talking works properly. With my Jabra BT8010 only stereo music works, handsfree is a game of luck.
Hope any ROM expert will fix this in the future. For me it is one of the most important features of my TOUCH HD.
working!
Hi,
yesterday I flashed to Duttys 3.9 Turbo - and I love it!
BT works as A2DP & Handsfree!
beside it's very fast - what else we need

Using Energy's 6.5 june 16th version.. Works PERFECT with my brand new Nokia BH-904 (which also is great)
it works in miri's rom as well plus you have lots of free memory when you really need it
