Hi guys, Im running the latest cm7 stable off my sd card and haven't been able to find the answer to my question at all.
For some reason, my bluetooth wont activate. I try to activate it from both the notification bar and from settings, and it just says "turning on" and then simply turns off again.
Im wondering if I actually have to install cm7 to the internally memory to get the bluetooth to work. Let me know.
Thanks!

Update to one of the later nightlies....
On mine I need to first turn off wifi then reboot then turn on blue tooth then turn on wifi then it works. However it makes you tube videos very choppy when Bluetooth is enabled.
running cm7 7.1.0 rc1
works here, as much as i am able to pair my bluetooth headset
its a cheap non-ad2p, so i cant hear out of it, and they havent gotten the mic working in the software yet, so its really of no use to me; i have had it off since i tested to see if it would pair.

Hey all,
I have Froyo 2.2 on my N1...anyone know why my bluetooth headset crackles and is really fuzzy sounding? Sounds like they are underwater sometime...I even tried a new bluetooth headset with same problem...any ideas? Thanks.

which FroYo ROM, and which kernel.
mine does the exact same, its not just you its probably a froyo issue.
ok so i was bored and did some tests, it seems it only happens to me when trying to send audio via bluetooth when playing a flash video, reg music and videos are no problem.
I also have same problem, but on CM 5.0.X (Android 2.1). I tried Motorola S9-HD (stereo) and Nokia HS-56W (mono). Every time connect the headset and the phone is very close (20-30 cm), the sound is fine, but as soon as the phone is to push further, the sound is choppy and stutters. And this happens on any headset.
is WiFi on or off?
WiFi and bluetooth operate on same frequency band and can cause issues.
i have wi-fi on and bluetooth on.
switch WiFi off and try.

I switched off Wi-Fi and connect Motorola S9-HD and it really workes. A will try today use more and write late about it.
Same problem here with Froyo.
I turned Wifi off and the sound problems went away.
I think is a hardware problem or design problem because I used to use the same headset (Motorola H-710) with an iPhone and never had this problem even with Wifi switched on.
Would be any way to get rid of this problem?, it really bothers me to turn off the Wifi every time I get a phone call.
Thanks
its a problem with flash, not bluetooth, adobe should fix it soon
Thank you for the suggestion I will be sure to try that tomorrow!
I have kernal 2.6.32.9-27220-g328f560 android build apa26 #1
Build number is frf50
I hear this is a test version of Froyo anyway...I don't think the real Froyo has been released yet? So maybe it will be fixed...thank you.
After two days of tests, with switched off Wi-Fi, it turned out that the problem does not disappear completely. Correctly identify the reason for failed. Since stuttering occurred on different songs (that is, perhaps, that stuttering is dependent on the bitrate), I sometimes felt that the problem with lowering the frequency of the processor in sleep mode, and it is not enough to encode mp3 and transfer data via Bluetooth.
Still bad with OTA
I got the froyo OTA for my stock N1 yesterday morning.
I can confirm that the distorted sound is present on the phone application only when wifi is turned on and you are using bluetooth. At first I thought it was only when wifi was on but not connected but it appears that you can get the distortion on a phone call whenever wifi is turned on.
All entertainment application seem to work fine with my A2DP bluetooth. Again it only seems to be bluetooth phone calls and wifi turned on. Believe me this is bad enough. This didn't happen on 2.1 and if it weren't so much hassle I'd probably go back.
Hopefully someone will come up with a workaround that will allow bluetooth calls and wifi turned on at the same time. Gees, if it weren't so basic
This just drives me nuts that Google makes major changes to parts of the OS, then doesn't think to actually TEST everything they changed. This would easily been detected if they actually tried it out. Duh.
I have the FRF91 update and all the blutooth distortions are GONE.

I updated from stock via the OTA to FRF91 and thats actually when the distortions showed up on mine? Well its good to know that there is hope but now I am wondering what possibly may be different between mine and yours?
Can anyone else tell us how their bluetooth is doing on FRF91?
Does anyone think a froyo factory data reset is worth trying?
I am wondering if there has been any improvements to bluetooth on any of the roms out there. I know there has been some threads regarding the issues with bluetooth since 2.1 and I personally am having issues with my phone staying synced to my car (worked perfect in 1.5). Also does anyone know if froyo get an update to address bluetooth bugs? Thanks.
Bluetooth in 2.1 has been hit or miss depending on the brand you are trying to attach to. I have bluetooth on my computer and can use it fine with my phone. Audio works fine and it stays connected. It could be because I have froyo. IDK.
BTW-This should be in Q&A
BlueTooth does seem to be a little less picky in FroYo.
Hummm maybe its time to try froyo and see if it fixes my issues

Wanted to post this in the actual development thread but can't due to post count. so here goes. I've been using the recently posted CM7 rom with bluetooth working. I've got no problem with turning the bluetooth on, and can even pair it with my Fascinate, although it says it's paired but not connected. I want to be able to pair it with my Fascinate and use the GPS from it, but so far Bluetooth GPS Provider just tells me there is a problem with the GPS and to restart it and try again. Am I wrong in thinking this should work? Do I need a completely separate bluetooth capable GPS?

Android doesn't support Bluetooth GPS directly. http://www.appbrain.com/app/bluetooth-gps-provider/de.mobilej.btgps
Per my original post, I'm already using that application, and it only tells me there is a problem and to restart the gps.
I cant even get BT to turn on for more then 2 sec with CM7 17,18 havent tried 19
Ive cleared the Cash and powered off by holding the power button, powered off from CM7, tried with wifi on/off cant seem to get it to work any suggestions?
I don't know, turning it on worked after a simple restart, I just can't get it to connect properly apparently.
I got Bluetooth GPS Provider to connect to my Holux GPSlim240. GoogleMaps is using the GPS signal perfectly. I also get the occasional restart msg but I think its the bluetooth moving out of its 2 to 3 foot range. Menu settings on Bluetooth GPS also seem weird. The GPSlim is a SiRF but when selecting that it seems to fail more. Used "other" in GPS type.

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?
Hello,
I rooted my LG P990 and installed JMCyanBreadMOD, and afterwards the most recently nightly (CM51) of that time. Before one of the CM installs, I could make calls and listen to music from my phone over my car's audio system. After the CM install(both of them), only calls would function.
When I request bluetooth music in my car, I see the media player is launched, but that's about all that happens. It seems to be kept paused. Explicitely pressing play to have it continue playing doesn't help either,I see the time bar moving, but hear nothing.
The CM's bluetooth settings for the connection to my car's audio system are set to be used for phone and media.
I'm wondering, since calls do work, perhaps I missed some setting somewhere ?
Or is it something that simply isn't fully developped ?
Somebody got an idea ?
Many thanks

It doesnt work with cm7 yet. Try modaco if you really want/need it

Hi, make sure your Bluetooth support A2DP.
However, if your bluetooth heatset doesn't have, you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649059
I don't guarantee it work or not, however, NvFlash is always there for you. ;P
