Hi all,
i recently upgraded my qtek 9090 to 1.42 (Tmobile posted BA_TMNL_14200_115_11300_Ship). I have major problems connecting to my handsfree set in my car. The first try to connect is successfull. I can pair with the handsfree device, enter the security code and everything is fine. The device appears in bluetooth manager under paired devices.
After disonnecting the paired devices rapidly gets lost. After that, theres no chance to connect to the device again. The only chance is to delete the bluetooth device in the manager and pair it again.
Despite to this, if have no problems with my gps mouse. Security is disabled, the device also don't appears in paired devices
Has anyone an idea ?
BT Version is 1.0.0 3900
I think I found the problem. Seems, that my handsfree set in my car still had the connect information of the former installation and I still use the same name for bluetooth. The handsfree set can save the connect information of 3 devices and two of them had now the same name but different id's. Seems, that was the problem. I'll test it for some days, but I'm sure, that was the solution
have fun
BT headset is paired but gets lost
my MDAIII has just been updated to the latest Tmobile upgrade.
Everything works ok. BT headset pairs and when i make a call i can speak. But when i receive a call the connection with the headset has a '?'
Now i first have to search to get a connection.
It's like it switches off the BT Headset connection when I receive a call.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
I have 3 stereo bluetooth devices and 2 headset only devices.
The problem comes from auto re-connecting to the stereo devices.
The only way it seems to work at all is if I pair all the stereo devices first.
If I reset, then I usually have to click and hold on the device in BT Settings and select "set as wireless stereo" to get the stereo connection to kick in.
In my tests I have made sure only one device is on at a time.
It certainly is not as easy as it should be.
It seems to be worse after a Tilt reset.
So my questions are : Has anyone else seen this behavior and is there a fix or work-around for it?
If not, does anyone no how to make a direct link to the BT Settings Window so at least it would only be a couple clicks to fix it?
You need at least one of each device (headset and stereo headset) to see this problem.
I've seen this with my Wizard as well as the Tytn II, so I suspect it's a "feature" of the MS BT stack. I think it's somehow related to the "set as wireless stereo" feature -- apparently only one device at a time can have that setting, and MS turns the setting off if it can't connect to that device. Note that there's no such setting for handsfree, and connections on that profile work flawlessly between multiple devices.
Its a little better
What I found out is that if you pair all your stereo devices first and then all the non-stereo, things seem to work a bit better and Dutty's BT-Link plugin will reconnect the stereo part most of the time, so its only a click away and sometimes you don't need to turn the device to discover mode.
However, if anyone from MS reads this, there is no reason not to automatically connect into full stereo, IF the device is the only one in the list that can be found at any point in time. And if they wanted to be really cool, if not, then present the user with a list so he can click to choose.
Similar problem
Hi BSW11,
Im having a similar problem with the pairing of my carkit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1717330#post1717330
I believe it can be traced to the the MS BT stack not handling the automatic re-pairing correctly. I am surprised that not many other people have notice or complained in this forum about it.
Adam
No BT Wireless Stereo device will auto-connect to any WM device, you have to tell your phone to connect to it via the BT setting unless a 3rd party app has that function built in to it. This is a 'feature' of MS WM OS system.
Any BT 'headset' (ie mono earpiece) will auto connect if it has been selected for 'use as headset'
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I'm having problems connecting my HTC HD2 to my Volvo S80 bluetooth, The phone sync's OK, I can dial calls but I get no audio through the cars speakers; neither does it dim the sound.
I happend to use a HTC TYTN II with the same car, where it all worked flawlessly.
Does anyone have the same problem with his/her Volvo?
Does anyone have a working combination of a HD2 + Volvo?
Any help/direction will be appreciated.
I have the same issue with my Jag.. have you tried to initiate the call FROM the car vs. from the phone?

Yeah, I've tried it both from the phone, as well as the keypad of the car. Funny thing is that the phonebook seems to synchronize correctly between phone & car, so I have a working connection.
It's just the problem that I have described earlier in this thread.
Did you manage to solve it?
It is very wonky - I can see the addressbook on my car's display, i can dial and have a convo but it hangs after I hang up the phone. I cannot dial from the phone which is strange. I imagine a software patch could repair

Try setting the authenticated connection to OFF
Dunno if it will help, but from
Start-Settings, then <menu> All settings (its the quickmenu bottom right)
Bluetooth -
then you can set properties (nickname and authorized connections)

WOW!!! You did it! thanks so much... who would have thought I should turn auth connection OFF!?!

Volvo Connection
Hi - I am having exactly the same issue with the connection in my C30, it syncs fine, connects okay just no audio on either the phone or the car
I have tried the fix above which didnt work for me - any ideas?
I have got it working fine on a bluetooth headset so not the phone
My Volvo dealer did it
Everything solved, by installing the latest bluetooth software into my car. It seems that an update is available twice a year, and I have just had my Volvo dealer install the latest into my one year old car.
Everything is now working fine.
(And then I thought that Bluetooth was a certified standard, but hey, I work in business software, so I probably should have known better )
I can highly recommend driving by your Volvo agent.
Volvo Bluetooth HTC HD2
Warnink:
Where are you located in the world? My Volvo dealer (and Volvo Norway) could not find any software update for my car. I have an 2010 V70 and I have the same issues as you had.
Did your dealer give you any details about the software?
André
I was lucky while it lasted
When I drove off from my dealer, he made sure that I had the last version of the bluetooth software. Everything worked smoothly then, and also for a couple of days.
Unfortunately I am back to square one now, since it stopped working again.
On another forum, I received some replies, telling me it has to do with the bluetooth stack, that is being used by the HTC HD2. I am sofar unable to verify this, and neither do I have a solution.
I have sent an email to HTC as well, telling them about this issue, but have so far not received any reply.
Hope that either Volvo, or HTC will pick up on this issue, because the combination of driving a Volvo, and using a HD2 can hardly be matched (but only if they function properly) If you encounter a solution, keep me (us) posted.
(By the way: I live in Holland )
the same...
Hi !
I do have the same problems with my XC70 MY10. My Bluetooth version in the car is 04.22_R. Which version do you have !?
In the past with my Touch HD I used Jetware bluetooth handsfree 1.40 and most of the time it worked. Unfortunately that version is not running on my HD2.
Is there anything planed like this to have for the HD2 ?
Which other solutions would be possible ? How many people are infected and is it only a VOLVO problem ?
Best regards !
Same here. Latest sofware version installed (already two time), now 4.22R. It's unbelievable. A Navigon or Tom Tom appliance, or any BT Handfree stuff of 100 euro's connects and works without any problem, but a 80.000 euro Volvo... I can't figure out why, the phonebook syncs, it dials, but no sound. Nor does it stop radio/cd/tv. Waiting for next upgrade (either BT of Volvo or the whole car?)
Not supported by Volvo yet
Here is a link for the Netherlands, where you can check what phone models are supported by Volvo bluetooth. Currently, the HD2 is not listed.

Solved problem
Hi!
I had some initial problems pairing my HTC hd2 with my S80 from -06.
Now it works fine without any bluetooth updates from Volvo.
The problem I had was that the call was disconnected just as it was connected.
I could make the call but as soon as someone answered, the call was disconnected.
I'm not really sure what did the trick but I tried with the settings in:
Start -> Settings -> Meny -> More -> Bluetooth
Under Advanced there is an option to play system sound on the remote bluetooth device. I have it checked, not sure if that is needed.
So try to change the settings in Start -> Settings -> Meny -> More -> Bluetooth
If I get the time I'll try to write a more detailed guide...
The main thing is that with proper settings it works, without updates.

Although it does not enable you to sync your phonebook, you can at least call normally; this did the trick for me.

I tried the settings posted on the previous pages and for the first time my HD2 pairs with my Range Rover handsfree.
I didn't find the registry values exactly as in the previous post so here's an updated list of what worked for me:
I downloaded Mobile Registry Editor (freeware from here http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/De...or-10636.shtml
Then I made the following registry changes:
1. Modify the HandsFree plug-in: HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree
i. Change SupportedFeatures to 45 (default is 1135 mine was 1379)
ii. Add value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda
iii. Add value HFDeviceType DWORD 2
2. Modify the WIDCOMM bluetooth general settings: HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General
i. Change bdaddr to (no value) delete the existing key value
ii. Change DisableReopenAudio to 0 (default is 1) I didn't have this registry key so I created it with DWORD value 0
3. Reboot device

I found (on another thread) that just turning off the data connection enables most of the BT and audio-linked functionality... Though mine doesn't seem to update the recent calls list made from the car.
BUT the downside would be losing out on push email or other data services like weather, stocks (who cares!), and things like satnav live services (traffic, etc.) until you re-enable data. I haven't yet tried Tungsten's ideas above - hopefully tomorrow!
NB. which bluetooth version do you have? (In the menu on the sound system) I apparently have the current version and my Volvo dealer said that even an update could either maybe not work/work fine/trash my phone's BT UNLESS Volvo had by then listed my phone as compatible (HD2 currently not listed). Plus I would still be charged £60-70 so I opted not to risk it.
From what I can gather and although bluetooth is a "standard", it maybe to do with using different stacks - HTC apparently doesn't use the Microsoft stacks...
Problem fixed
Everyone...I picked up my HD2 on Thursday, same issue with my 2009 Volvo S80. Connected but no audio picked up or transferred...until today.
Complete the pairing with the vehicle.
Then
Go into the "OTHER SETTINGS" (Located toward the bottom of the Main Settings Section)
Under Other Settings is "CAR KIT"
Make sure to have a check box in both options. "Navi" & "Automatically transfer to Car Kit"
Save.
Your set..works like a charm.
Just curious

Hi Guys, Newbie here in need of some help.
I have searched high and low for an answer to this and whilst people have had similar issues, none quite the same and as such I have not been able to fix it yet.
Basically I have a Galaxy S which I bought about 6 months ago. It is running Android 2.2 Froyo 'Firmware version' 2.2.1. (let me know if you need any more info on build etc).
The problem is that I bought a Belkin Bluetooth Music Reciever so I could play music remotely from my phone to my stereo.
I made sure I carefully read the reviews and some bloke called Dan who is a regular reviewer had tested it with the Samsung Galaxy S so I thought I was all set.
I can send you the links to see the item and the review if you like.
However when I followed the Belkin's instructions the phone was supposed to ask me to enter 0000 to complete the pairing. The phone seemed to pair automatically, without asking for a code. So I assumed everything was fine. but then the music came out the phones loud speaker rather than the stereo.
I have also noticed that whilst the phone pairs with the BT reciever, it doesn't seem to connect.
I have successfully used the Belkin with my wife's 18 month old Sony Ericsson C905 and an HTC Desire so I know the Belkin works. I just reckon there is a glitch which is stopping me pair with it properly.
The remedies I have tried:
1) Unparing and Re-Pairing Bluetooth
2) Rebooting Phone, Rebooting Belkin
3) Going into Bluetooth Options and selecting Play Audio via Bluetooth. (When I also press the 'Connect Now' tick box, it tries and fails although it does still think it is paired.
4) I also double checked to see if there was a firmware update for the phone via Kies and there was so I installed that and it still won't work.
5) Samsung Support have simply said -"It must be a compatibility issue and we can't help you." - if that was so, how come someone else used a Galaxy S when reviewing it!?
This is driving me insane! Can anyone help me with this? Any help appreciated.
It's probably not much help, but as a datum I'm using some sennhieser PX 360 A2DP bluetooth headphones with my i9000 and they're fine. I didn't have to enter a pairing code as 0000 is the default for accessories these days and it's automatic

I had a problem recently where I thought my Galaxy S had stopped pairing properly with my Motorola T505 - the music playing bit worked fine, but the phone connection, voice dialling etc just wouldn't work at all.
Turned out I'd left the bluetooth on on my work phone (old Nokia) and that was connecting preferentially as that was the last thing connected. Once I turned that off it all worked again. Don't suppose there's anything like that happening?

Thanks Barkotron, its a good thought but I don't think there is anything that would cause it. The nearest other bluetooth device which is switch on is the B/T keyboard for my iMac which is upstairs at the other end of the house.
Stumped!
Bump...any ideas?
Same problem here with a BeeWi BBR100-A1.
Device works fine with a iPhone 3GS but not with my i9000. Don´t know why and where to search. Installing now the Android SDK and hopefully there is a errorlog.
I have the same problems that you describe, pairing starts - the BBR100 restarts and it looks like the pairing fails. Galaxy S i9000 displays that it is connected to the bluetooth receiver...
That sucks!
Belkin was my backup, but now end of all hope.
Looks like it´s a problem with the BT-Stack, with my Senheiser MM100 it works just like a charm!
Any news or tips with another receiver?
I tried with a Creative bluetooth speaker in a shop today. No pairing code required.
One thing I did notice though, I had to pair the Galaxy with the Creative speaker, then go back into the bluetooth devices list and select the speaker to connect it. The audio then switched from the built in speaker to the bluetooth device.
I have to do this with my headphones too. The devices automatically pair when the headphones are powered on but the headphones don't produce sound until I also go to the bluetooth list and connect them.
Hope it helps.

A2DP problem with JS5?
Until recently i was using a2dp to connect my sgs to my handsfree car kit and listen to music: it worked perfectly and the sound was great. Then i upgraded from JPF to JS5 (stock rom from samfirmware), and now music is always jumping forward. Normal connection for answering calls works perfectly...
sounds like another problem...because pairing works for you...right?
but anyway, there must be a way to change the bluetooth-stack like the windows way...
I have this problem too, pairing works but no sound via bluetooth. I am on JS3.
Edit: IT IS WORKING!
Unpaired and paired again. Works like a charm.

Mhm, hopefully I can do some more search this weekend.
Searching around the i-net brings some threads with the blueZ (bluetooth-stack) from canonical. Some people say that Samsung has modified the stack. Hopefully cyanogenmod brings a solution, afair. they use another stack then the stock rom.
@HarpingOn:
My old iPhone 3G and a iPhone 3GS works with the BeeWi BBR100 perfectly, but the new SGS not....???....so your suggestion with apt-x could be a idea, but why the hell SGS pairs and plays music over my Senheiser MM100?
More questions then ever, but I don´t have a clue what could it be. Thats the damn old problem with IT. If you don´t know where exactly the problem is you can´t fix it.
Today I unpaired the phone, reseted the car kit, paired again, and it's working ok. Sound is not as good as before, but may be it's just some equalizer setting. If this procedure doesn't work for you, try a phone factory reset.
I can confirm that everything is working ok. Unpair and reset did the trick for me.
Don´t work here... same as before.
Pairing seems to work, but finally you notice that it wan´t pair correct.

I have the same problem with the Belkin Music Player - has anybody found a solution ?
I have send my problem to BeeWi with complete error log and all other things that I have found.
Their reply:
Dear sir,
We have tested BBR100 on galaxy S and it works perfectly.
Easy pairing without entering 0000 code. After pairing you need of course to ask for connection because Android phones don't connect automatically.
Best Regards,
BeeWi
-> I´ve got a solution, send BBR100 back to sender and buy a cable. Works now for me!
I also have had the problem to connect the Belkin BT media streamer but just got it to work!
My solution
1. Pair ( When I do this at first I get the same problem as many others, the SGS pairs but does'nt connect).
2. Unpair the devices
3. Pair again - now it also will connect.
4. The music plays trough my bluetooth to my stereo.
The only problem for me now is that the sound really SUCKS. No bass what so ever etc. Any1 knows how this could be fixed?
I have an older car (2004 BMW 330ci) with built-in factory bluetooth. All of my previous smartphones would connect to it with varying degrees of success. Because of this variation, I believe the car's bluetooth system to be "less than universal" as far as compatibility is concerned. The problem is, my new HTC One is all but useless with it! The volume during calls is barely above a whisper, and callers report that they can barely hear me. Also, while it hasn't disconnected any calls, outside of a call the phone alternatively displays " bluetooth connected" and " bluetooth disconnected", cycling about every 10 seconds.
From previous experience, I know there's a significant software component to compatibility with this system. For example my stock Nexus S 4G would connect and work well but would occasionally drop the connection. But then the paranoid android rom on the same phone would not only never drop a connection, it would transmit sms text messages and my contacts directory to the car as well. No other phone or rom has done that.
So.. some questions...
1.) Anyone else having this problem? If so, what kind of vehicle?
2.) Any other BMW drivers not having this problem with the HTC One? If so, year and model?
3.) This is probably an ignorant "noobish" one, but... is it possible to extract the bluetooth software from the nexus paranoid android rom and bring it over to the HTC One?
4.) Know of any HTC One roms that make changes to the bluetooth software?
5.) Any other advice you can give that may help?
I've tried Volume+ to no avail. Version 1.9 states it isn't fully compatible with the One's android version, and version 2.0 alpha doesn't yet have bluetooth functionality.
Thanks for your help! If I discover a solution, I'll post an update.

Hi,
I have a 2006 bmw z4 (e85) and I'm having exactly the same problem with sound level via bluetooth.
My previous phones (htc sensation xe and htc touch pro 2) worked flawlessly with the car
I would also love to find a solution to it, because there's no bluetooth firmware upgrade available at BMW's..
Same issue, but it only arose with the 4.3 update. Before that Bluetooth had other issues even recognizing my stereo, now it connects flawlessly but cycles the "Connected" and "Disconnected" message every couple seconds. 2006 avalon, but with custom stereo and system.
I think that one's bluetooth stack uses some different compression method than sensation. I dont know whether its some kind of codec or encryption method, because system sounds are loud and clear and a person's voice is quiet and with some interference.
Hope that someone will find a solution to this problem - probably downgrading bluetooth stack would solve the problem

I have a similar problem with my Acer Liquid E2 duo phone connecting to Dension 500S BT kit installed in my Audi. It works all fine when I place a call from the phone. But if I dial from my media interface, i get a very low call volume and adjustment using the car volume control doesn't work any more.
A little thread revival
After upgraiding my htc one to android 4.4 kitkat the problem is partially solved, meaning the bluetooth volume is slightly higher, but only slightly - still cannot get a clear loud sound I used to have while using htc sensation with stock ICS.
Any luck with you, guys?

I have an older car (2004 BMW 330ci) with built-in factory bluetooth. All of my previous smartphones would connect to it with varying degrees of success. Because of this variation, I believe the car's bluetooth system to be "less than universal" as far as compatibility is concerned. The problem is, my new HTC One is all but useless with it! The volume during calls is barely above a whisper, and callers report that they can barely hear me. Also, while it hasn't disconnected any calls, outside of a call the phone alternatively displays " bluetooth connected" and " bluetooth disconnected", cycling about every 10 seconds.
From previous experience, I know there's a significant software component to compatibility with this system. For example my stock Nexus S 4G would connect and work well but would occasionally drop the connection. But then the paranoid android rom on the same phone would not only never drop a connection, it would transmit sms text messages and my contacts directory to the car as well. No other phone or rom has done that.
So.. some questions...
1.) Anyone else having this problem? If so, what kind of vehicle?
2.) Any other BMW drivers not having this problem with the HTC One? If so, year and model?
3.) This is probably an ignorant "noobish" one, but... is it possible to extract the bluetooth software from the nexus paranoid android rom and bring it over to the HTC One?
4.) Know of any HTC One roms that make changes to the bluetooth software?
5.) Any other advice you can give that may help?
I've tried Volume+ to no avail. Version 1.9 states it isn't fully compatible with the One's android version, and version 2.0 alpha doesn't yet have bluetooth functionality.
Thanks for your help! If I discover a solution, I'll post an update.

any fixes to this problem yet ??
Try using "HTC car" app
I had the same problem for six months and just found a solution that works for me.
I just found out that the HTC One Bluetooth audio connection (A2DP) plays with a very different volume depending on whether the "HTC car" app is active or not.
For six months I have been playing music daily in my car using HTC One (media app: Qobuz) as source and Bluetooth as connection. The source volume was very low, so that I had to keep the audio car audio system near maximum level. Eventually, this abnormal use of my car audio system destroyed it: I had to replace the receiver, and may have to replace the speakers too.
Only this morning, after six months, I found out that when launching the media app from within the "HTC car" app, the output volume is much louder, and I can set the receiver's volume at a normal level.
I guess HTC does this to prevent ear damage when the One is connected to a Bluetooth headset. Great, but they should mention it in the HTC One user instructions, or at least on their website! It destroyed my car audio system!!
HTC One (M7)
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 6.0
Stock ROM
Rooted
In my case car mode doesnt solve the problem - its a bluetooth compatibility issue I suppose
