I am currently running Perception 10.2 and the Firebird 2.3 kernel with the I9000UGK4 modem.
My Bluetooth connects to my Ford Sync in my truck but disconnects the phone part of the connection after a minute and only keeps the music side. It also automatically starts the music player every time.
This is a new problem for me. Previously the WiFi seemed to have an issue and when I drove away from my house and lost the WiFi signal the Bluetooth would disconnect also. That was on Cognition. I could prevent that by turning off the WiFi before starting the truck.
My understanding is the I9000 modems sometimes have issues with Bluetooth static vs. HSUPA? I need the Bluetooth more than the data speed.
I ran the Firebird 2 kernel and Cognition 3 and the bluetooth static was so bad I couldn't use it at all.
Are there any Sync users running a similar setup that they like and that works with the Bluetooth?
Should I just flash a different modem or try a different kernel? My suspicion is its the I9000 based kernels but most of the custom kernels seem to be based on the I9000.
I use ford sync. I am using jk4 modem. I am not on perception and I am not using firebird. I have no issues with connection. So, if it means anything it is not the modem. I have been on jpy roms without bluetooth issues, and I am currently on andromeda which is an armani port. No issues.
Maybe try a different kernel although I am unsure why that would make a difference. I would suggest hardcores.
I had these issues when I was on stock 2.1. Sometimes it even used to reboot my phone.
I am Maxima SYNC by the way, but both should be similar. Now I am 2.2.1 based ROMs and able to talk on phone properly.
Something u could try:
1. Delete all bluetooth profiles from ur phone.
2. Delete the phone profile from ur car.
3. Restart ur phone and connect it fresh.
This resolved the issue I once had when on a 2.2 ROM.
Cool. I will try the complete Bluetooth deletes ( I have done them but not both during the same flash or re-pare ) and if that doesn't work I will try the ROMs you both are running to see if that helps.
Thanks for the help.
OK. So just in case someone else has this issue and uses the search function.....
Turn off the Bluetooth audio input selection under the media input area of Sync before trying to pair your phone.
It works fine to go back and select Bluetooth audio after you have started and paired for a bit, but if Bluetooth audio in is selected when you first start your vehicle it will kick off the phone part and only keep the music player connected.
It also automatically opens the music player on the phone and starts playing the last track. Which I would imagine will effect battery life if you have your phone in your pocket and don't notice it.
Not sure if this was happening with other Kernels and ROMs as I only noticed it with this one.
I've never had a problem with any rom not being able to play through bluetooth media on my gf's focus. If you go to the bluetooth options on your phone, hold your finger down the sync connection you can select phone, media and connect. Select phone and media if you want both to be available.
Go to the menu for sync in your truck, I think it's under player settings or something similar, but there's an option for autoplay on or off. Obviously, if it's set to off it won't automatically play your music.
Right now I'm on Serendipity 4.1, Firebird 2 kernel and jl2 modem with no problems. I've also used Cognition roms, and Perception roms, never had any of the problems you're experiencing.
I had a Sync-enabled rental car last week, and noticed it wouldn't stay connected if say for instance I left the car with the phone and still had BT enabled, then came back to the car and tried to just let it auto rejoin. I found everything went smooth if I disabled BT when leaving the car, and reenabled coming back.

It has to be set to your phone as primary to auto connect.
I have had Ford Sync disconnect problem ever since I got captivate in November. Bluetooth randomly disconnects. Both cog 2.3b6 and 2.3b8 gave me problem, although 2.3b8 works better overall. I didn't try latest cognition roms yet.... I have a tasker that turns off wifi automatically when bluetooth is connected -- it improves things, but still I get disconnects every now and then.
I really hope to find a permanent solution to this. This is the most annoying problem with my phone right now....
I had serious disconnect issues too until I did something similar to what someone else already posted.
1. On phone, unpair Sync
2. In Sync, perform master reset (system settings>advanced>master reset) NOTE: This will lose all of your settings
3. Reboot phone
4. Pair phone and Sync. Allow Sync to download phonebook. (If this disconnects, restart at step 1)
5. I always disable automatic downloading of the phonebook and autoplay of bluetooth audio.
Once I get a successful phonebook download with no disconnect, I will not have any more issues with bluetooth.

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.
Hi guys,
I am having problems with car BlueTooth hands free and Samsung Galaxy S:
With Eclair 2.1 it was working flawlesly, connected automaticlay after paired, I could make phonecals, receive phonecals, no quality issue, phonebook worked fine etc... The only problem was that once I did not swithced the BT on my SGS before starting to drive, for some security reasons the car was not searching for phones while driving, so I had to turn the BT in car off and on again and then it connected well. But overal problem free...
With latest 2.2 Froyo (i9000xfjp7) and also previous Froyo distributions (i tried JPA if I remember correctly), the phone can be paired, it connects to the car but after one phonecall it looses connection and works no more. The strange thing is, the BT icon on the phone shows brackets (like when connected) and also the car shows the phone is still connected. But phonecalls cannot be made via car HF and also cannot be received through it. Only by manualy accepting or dialing on the phone. And naturally the sound goes only via the phone, no HF.
The strange thing is, when I turn off the car and leave it, the phone says it is still connected to it, which is impossible.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

That is weird... When I switch back to Eclair, it works OK, back to Froyo, no HF after one phonecall...
I dont know how to work with ROMs, I managed to find out how to flash firmwares, I even handled many problems with Odin and its moods, incomplete flashes, etc... But I dont know how to use these custom ROMs...
Anyway, i would appreciate if someone told me how to resolve it without custom ROMs, as I plan to use offical Froyo when it becomes available, but with this issue, it is useless for me, as I travel a lot...
No one else?
I'm having a related problem.
I'm getting music stream cut outs (1 sec max) when streaming bluetooth to caraudio WHILE wifi on.
If i disable wifi, bluetoothaudio works fine. I know they share range bt/wifi, but this is unacceptable. They should negotiate. Everytime wifi scans, i get cutouts. Unusable. Only workaround is disabling wifi (and thats annoying because i have to be constantly activating/disabling it everytime i enter somewhere with wifi etc.
Using Docrom xxjpo v8 with voodoo.
Anyone has some software fix that makes wifi behave better when bluetooth musictream on?
There are some weird issues I have been noticing with my SGS regarding bluetooth.
At first, I got slightly irritated when I found out I was suffering what I thought to be this issue on my SGS (noticed after flashing to JP6, later on JPX and now also on JPY). But since, I have been carefully narrowing down the problem (there seem to be several variants of the issue bundled within the one linked) and have finally figured out how to reproduce the error (sort of, at least in my setting: SGS-I9000, BMW 1series car BT system).
After setting a custom BT device name and pairing to the car, the BT handsfree works flawlessly on spot and if disconnecting and reconnecting later. The problem starts after rebooting. Now, here's where I'm getting inconsistent results.
Most times the bluetooth info I entered is simply reset to factory defaults: the pairing list is empty and the device name is set to the standard "Galaxy S".
Some other times however, it gets much more annoying: all the settings seem to be intact (pairing and device name stay as set) but BT connection always drops after about 60s (regardless of wheather you start/receive a call or not).
Is this a known issue? Did any of you experience this behavior? Any known fixes?
Thanks!
Phil
What ROM are you running? Get yourself onto the newest Froyo and see if the problem goes away. I definitely don't have problems with mine going to headphones, ear headset, or in car system.
Doc kitchen (jan 3rd) + Hardcore kernel JPY (which means latest kernel/drivers). This has been happening to me all along though, despite of rom changes (also happened with stock JP6 and darky's JPX).

Hi,
same problem for me: the bluetooth connection to my Parrot MKI9200 car audio system drops after a few seconds. This was not the case with ROMS older than JPX/JPY.
Are you still having this issue? I just flashed Serendipity 6.2 and have the same problem. When I reboot the Bluetooth settings are reset to default.

The issue disappeared on flashing to a new rom. I'm soory not to be able to give you more details because I found out the issue was gone by surprise (I had stopped using the car handsfree alltogether because of the issue).
Right now I'm on a Doc rom (hardcore kernel, JPY radio, ext4 system & data, ext4nj cache) and it works perfectly!
Hi guys, my capitvate just always disconnect with my car's bluetooth randomly.

i have the same problem as some other people do as well. There's no actual fix, afaik, although the gingerbread roms seemed to have fixed it for me.
You can ask in the appropriate Q&A for your ROM.

in his defense - although I could be wrong, I found that it has nothing to do with one particular rom. I had this problem on stock eclair and many of the custom froyo roms. Once I ran GB, the bluetooth was more reliable.
I'm having the same issue with stock 2.2.
I found a quicker method to fix it.
I downloaded a Bluetooth widget that toggles Bluetooth on and off - this seems to reconnect with my Jeep after the toggle:
com.curvefish.widgets.bluetoothonoff
I'm sure there are a ton of widgets out there; but, you may want to give that a try!
Thanks,
Shawn
I also ran into this as after chatting with Samsung support it turns out that the Galaxy line is set to never auto connect to any bt device even if the connection was already there.
I had trouble with disconnections from my car deck (jvc kw-xr810) when it was trying to share contacts. Once I set the phone to deny contact sharing and set up a separate phone book in the deck, it connects perfectly and never drops.
It's not a perfect solution if you want your whole address book access accessible from the car however.

I use tasker for this. I have a task setup that as soon as I turn my car off and BT disconnects, toggle BT off and back on. I noticed that as long as BT is toggled off and back on, it will connect and hold it the next time I use it.
although, I have since turned that task off because GB roms seemed to have fixed the BT issues with my car. I rarely have this problem since switching to gingerbread.
Captivate stock 2.2 intermittent bluetooth problems
I have a stock Captivate with 2.2 android and I'm using a Motorola S10-HD headset to listen to music while I'm at work.
The bluetooth will randomly disconnect causing the music to pause. Sometimes it will reconnect on it's own several seconds later and I am able to continue listening by clicking the play button on the headset. If it doesn't reconnect on it's own then I have to turn off bluetooth on the phone and turn it back on. This will cause it to reconnect but the problem may occur again.
I have switched to listening to music on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and haven't had any problems so it must be the phone.
Is there anything that will correct the problem?
Is this a defect with my phone or just a design problem with all Captivate phones?
I'm using a Samsung HM3500 bluetooth headset which also has a A2DP stereo option with my AT&T Galaxy Tab. Whenever I play music through the bluetooth, the music will pause for a split second while I am doing other things on the tab such as loading web pages, opening menus, going back to home, etc. It just seems to cut out when I am doing things that use a little bit of CPU power. When idle it mostly works, with only a few cut outs every few minutes or so.
I have flashed gingerbread and my modem to use it as a phone. Do you guys think this is an OS issue or an issue with my BT headset? Thanks
I use bluetooth headsets alot and i had this issue from overcome beta (first gingerbread release) to 2.0.0 gold. Didn't have it with froyo before and don't have it anymore since overcome 2.0.1.
Thanks, I may have to try flashing Overcome.
If you disable wifi the issue should go away. I know some people were able to decrease the frequency of the breaks in audio by changing the interval at which it searches for wifi locations, but I don't recall. This is a very common issue which has been seen on android and windows mobile devices alike.
I don't think thats the issue I have. I only have wifi turned on when I'm at home and while at the office. During my morning/evening commute (train to subway to bus) is when I use my bluetooth headphones the most, and wifi is switched off. I never got to try it with Froyo because I flashed Gingerbread as soon as I got my Tab last weekend. I will try flashing overcome tonight, hopefully it solves the issues. Thanks
