Bluetooth Issue - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having some issues that are strange. Here is info on my phone
G1 PVT Board
Rooted
Radio 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Haykuro's SPL 1.33.2005
51dusty's script to install apps to 8GB Class 6 SDHC Card
JACxROM v1.5r4
I have to say I love running xROM. I don't think it is causing the problem but this is what is happening.
We got a new car yesterday. 2009 Jetta TDI that has the factory Bluetooth integration. I have paired my phone with the car. That went well and I can use the car to make calls. However every 2-5min the radios in the phone reboot. The phone pops up with a message that they stopped responding. When it does this the cell signal and data signal go away then come back. So I know it is rebooting the Bluetooth and Cell Radio(s). I suspect that the Radio update that I am running is controlling both BT and Cell Radios and there may be a problem there or it might be an issue with xROM talking to the Radio Update. I did install the update before xROM.
This is the first time I have used BT on my phone. Our previous vehicles did not have Bluetooth. As a test I connected my phone to the Bluetooth on my laptop. It did not reboot the radios on the phone. However I really am not using it. It is just paired. I have to dig out my old BT Headset. If I can fine it that is. I am curious if that causes the same symptoms as the car.
Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks

Tilt Bluetooth audio works on AVIC D3 but not BT phone

having trouble getting my Pioneer AVIC D3 to connect with the bluetooth on my Tilt; the bluetooth audio works just fine, but i cannot make or recieve calls on the Navi system and its pissing me off. i already made sure the device is visible and bluetooth sharing is turned on (idk if i need it on but trying this anyways)
anyone else have a similar problem or a suggestion?
ugh, i want an AVIC so bad. but my truck is only 1.5 din. wold require a custom install
My silly thoughts:
1. Your Tilt doesn't need to be discoverable, you AVIC does.
2. If the AVIC doesn't show under settings-connections-bluetooth, then you haven't created a proper partnership.
3. If it does show there, then you should tap & hold that entry and see if you get "Set Headset" or "Set Handsfree". If you don't then the device isn't reporting a BT profile for phone use to the Tilt.
If you go through all of that and it doesn't work, I'd check with Pioneer for software/firmware upgrades for the AVIC. It may be an issue that they've fixed with updated code.
bump, tried the above with no luck. my sony S710a works fine and this is REALLY pissing me off; i spent almost $500 on the phone and another 1,000 on the damn navi system, if this doesnt work out soon im selling the Tilt and going back to the Sony
It is more of a problem with the pioneer unit rather then the phone. I have the tilt (flashed to htc) and have a problem of auto pairing. Everytime I get in the car I have to turn bluetooth off/on to get the deck (9800bt) to see the phone. This is something pioneer knows about a realesd a patch for the avic z2 (is that right) to fix the problem.

thanks im a member at avic411 as well as here and have had no success thus far; looks like SIM swapping with my Sony S710a is the best i can do. too bad because skipping songs or going thru my playlists via bluetooth is freakin sweet.
yah, i have the avic-d3 and the att/tilt, im so almost about to take the phone back. Even my crappy iphone paired withno issue. Please post if you figure it out.
Sad to see there has been no progress. I just got my new Kaiser, and I can only use it for bluetooth music and not as hands free with Avic D3. What a piss offf!!!!!!!!!!
I believe its a conflict with WM. I have the Pioneer 6800DVD and bt adapter and the same issue with my Treo 750 and Tilt.
I was able to get it to work on my treo using a bt program called jetware. I haven't tried it on my tilt yet. but it might work
I can confirm that the Jetware patch works great with my Tilt! You MUST uncheck bluetooth stereo (on your tilt) and only use the handsfree feature.

Bluetooth/WiFi Interference Issue

I've had my tilt since June and bluetooth was working great on my BMW and my Lexus. Then about two weeks ago every time I used my tilt on either my BMW or Lexus the bluetooth connection was extremely garbled. My other phones with bluetooth worked flawlessly in either car. My tilt which was upgraded to WM6.1 was the obvious culprit. I tried a soft reset, hard reset, going back to WM6.0, and then back to WM6.1 but always within a day or two my bluetooth connection between the tilt and either car became garbled. I even tried another tilt but same symptoms. So that brought me back to software, radio code, or configuration. Considering that I used both the WM6.0 Rom and the WM6.1 Rom and both didn't work the only answer was configuration. Last night after getting a replacement Tilt I resynced with both the BMW and the Lexus with no problems. This morning on my way to work again the bluetooth connection became garbled. Now I'm extremely frustrated, then I noticed a red light came on in my BMW which is what happens when the bluetooth connection fails. For some reason I turned off my wifi and immediately the red light went out. I tried a call and every thing was working great (nice and clear). I made several calls and bluetooth again was working flawlessly. Then I remebered that one of my settings was to change the wifi card to maximum performance instead of maximum battery since this makes a huge difference in wifi performance. I'm going to perform some more tests this afternoon but I think the extra wifi power is severly affecting bluetooth.
yea same happens with me when I have WiFi and bluetooth on. also my friend who has tilt has same problem. I think this is common problem with tilt. so far I tried few different radios and roms but noting helped. I could not find fix for that anywhere.
You need to try different radios. I found radio 171091 worked well with a lot of the 6.1 ROMS. I am now using 1652436 with Athine's ROM and both of these allowed me to Bluetooth Stereo, Bluetooth Phone and WiFi. The biggest problem I have ever had with these Radio's is when I drive around and pick-up different WiFi spots, the Bluetooth audio will cut out for up to 1 second.
Great, I never installed radio code before. Is it similar to changing the Rom?
same process
I'm using AthineOS v3.2 rom with a Tilt Radio Version 1.71.09.01 Same thing.. everytime you use Bluetooth and Wifi it craps out if there is a lot of data transfer between either of the technology.
Worse off, it takes down my Wifi at home for 30sec-1min. All my devices that is on Wifi loses signal

Bluetooth nexus one connecting to Renault carkit

I recently got my new Renault Scenic car and discovered a rather strange situation.
The phone pairs with the carkit and connects the first time without issues and works like a charm.
But however when I start the car and thus also the carkit the phone connects also but no audio is heared trough the carkit when calling or getting called. The phone says it transfers the connection to the carkit but nothing is heared.
It only works when I have bluetooth off, starts the car and then turning bluetooth on the phone on. Wait till it connects and make a call. With this procedure the connection is good till I step out the car.
Its a work around but hmmm not the one i would love to.
I have a nexus one rooted with the latest MCR (21) and an intersect kernel. Though I tried different kernels also but no go.
Hopefully one of you guys have an idea
Ok I searched a bit and found out the Bluetooth is done with the opensource code Bluez. So I wonder which version of Bluez is in the froyo roms and how it can be updated if possible to a new version.
Anyone knows ?
I feel your pain, I have a Renault Grand Scenic III (purchased last December) and the hands-free is unreliable, but music streaming (A2DP) is even worse as most often than not it will fail to connect.
I have to say that the hands-free works fine most of the times (for the phone part, not for music), but some days it will refuse to work no matter what. Since it isn't working much better with my wife's Nokia (BTW, which I had to do a firmware update or else it went into a permanent reboot loop when connected to the car-kit), I assume the problem lies on the car, not on the phone. I have yet to see if my Hero, which has been recently updated to Android 2.1, behaves any better. A firmware update on the Bluetooth car-kit seems a better approach, but I'm unaware if one exists since after some digging it seems my car doesn't use the OEM Parrot kit that other earlier models carried.

Hi,
I've just come across your post. Did the situation improve ?
I'd just point out that for me it comes from the Android system : I own a Renault Mégane 3 and was able to fully use the bluetooth system with my HTC HD2 (Windows Mobile 6.5). Now, I've just installed Android 2.2 on it and I encounter a similar behavior... and the car can't connect to the phone directory either...
Looks like I'll boot back on Windows Mobile when driving...
Regards,
Stéphane
My Hero with the official 2.1 ROM is now 100% reliable. The Nexus One with Froyo isn't, A2DP is still hit & miss.
Well... I'm getting the same but not with Renault ones.
I have LiquidAUX on my car and to have both phone and a2dp synced, I have to restart phone BT and LiquidAUX every time I go into car. And most of the times I can only have 1 connection each time, or phone is on and a2dp is off or a2dp is on and phone is off. It's really annoying since I had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and it used to work with no problems...
Hello, I've the same issue with my new Renault and Nexus LG. The phone pairs with the carkit and connects the first time without issues and works like fine. Once someone calls, the connection is terrible or lost! I checked the phone compatibility list at Reanoult and the NEXUS LG is on that list. So it should work. Updated R-link2, same issue. I went to the Renault garage and they told me that this is a bug in the Renault software, they can't do anything about it. Can't believe this, there should be a solution or fix.

Bluetooth Issues

I am having some very frustrating BT issues.
I only use one bluetooth device, a Kenwood KDC-BT945U car stereo. When using any vanilla android rom, the phone and deck struggle to work. They hardly ever pair and once it does, they never reconnect later and I must go through the process of trying to re-pair again.
Here is what I find odd. Any SenseUI rom that I have tried, the phone and the deck connect without issue.
My question is, would it be possible to take the bluetooth from Modaco's R23 and use it on CM6? Any advice?
Verboten
UPDATE.
I got brave and took the bluetooth.apk from Modaco's R23 ROM and pushed it to my phone running CM6 RC2 and my issues are 95% better. It works great but the phone wants to pair every time I get into the car. I wish it would auto connect but at least it is working.
That sucks. I have similar issues with stock Froyo. Just coming in to see if rooting and a custom rom would fix the issue.
Everytime I get into my car I have to turn off my bt on my phone and turn it back on for the radio and the phone to pair.
Not sure if its an Android issue(my Milestone did the same exact thing) or my radio(Clarion)
Even more annoying, is half the time as soon as the phone pairs with the radio it starts playing music. Not my preference that is for sure.

Bluetooth issue

I received my new 64gb N6 replacement from Motorola because my previous one was getting hot. Now I'm having intermittent issues with Bluetooth. It connects fine with my LG Watch and Lg HBS900. When I have I connect it to my Hyundai Veloster's radio, it stops working. My previous N6 did not do this and worked perfectly with the exception of getting hot. When paired with the radio, it works for maybe 5 seconds then the radio will say "Initializing Bluetooth Handsfree,". It does this every time the phone is paired. I was thinking it was a software issue so I reflashed the firmware onto the phone and it worked for 30 seconds at first startup then the message about blue device not found. I also took my car to Hyundai to let them troubleshoot my radio and it passed. I connected my N5 to radio with no issues also.
Has someone had a similar problem and fixed it? Any help or suggestions is great. I've searched via Google and haven't found any answers or issues near what I'm experiencing. It's odd that I can pair with my headset and watch with no issues but not my radio.

After initial paring with your car there should have been a message about wanting to download contacts (or something like that). And a message on your N6 about adding to trusted devices. See this link > https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/102403/p/30,6720,9293

I've added my contacts and added the vehicle as a trusted device. I've been doing this since the release of 5.0 on the N5. I should have added that the radio will say there isn't a service connected to but still have the Bluetooth icon on like it's connected. Phone calls will go straight to Bluetooth while this happens but no sound will play. I'm going to re-download the firmware and reflash it. It sounds like a software issue. I keep saying this because I actually had two N6 before this, a 32gb and a 64, that connected just fine.
So I narrowed the issue down. It seems that if I sync my contacts with the radio that's when everything stops working. When contacts syncing is disabled the music streaming and phone calls work fine. Is there somewhere or something I can do to correct the problem? Thanks.
Bump
Finally solved my issue. It seems that my call log and messages backup I made in titanium backup was corrupted somehow. Reflashed firmware and rooted without fishing my backup fixed my issue. Oh well. I have my backup installed onto my N5
