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.
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.
Ever since I upgraded to Cognition 4.1.1, it wont allow me to connect Bluetooth Audio to my car radio. The stock (Captivate) ROM worked fine and Im pretty sure the Cognition 3.x also worked. Whenever I clock on the Bluetooth device "SYNC" and click under options, it wont allow me to check the Bluetooth audio button. Any ideas/fixes?
Hi,
Does anyone has problems with working with bluetooth with this version?
The phone is paired with my car bluetooth, but it does not transfer the calls to the car system. With every other phone the car system is working fine.
criskelo,
Can you check it ?
There are some problems with bluetooth working properly in GB, so it's not surprising that you have issues
Hello everybody,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with the new bluetooth handsfree system of my car. It's a Viseeo MB-3 that is very popular in Mercedes cars. It has Parrot CK5050+ chipset, so it is pretty standard.
I tried with my other phone, a HTC Desire and works perfectly, the same with an iPhone from a friend, but my Samsung Galaxy refuses to connect.
In this system is the handsfree set which stays visible and you have to connect from the phone. When I try to connect I get a message saying that there was an error when trying to connect to the MB-3.
I was with a custom CM rom (Insanity), so I wiped everything and went to stock 2.3.5 (JVT) but I got same error.
I went to Froyo 2.2.1 (JPY) and it worked perfectly.
Went back to GB 2.3.5 and the error came back.
I tried to put JPY radio over 2.3.5 but it didn't solve the problem.
So, it seems there is some change at certain point with Galaxy GB bluetooth that makes impossible to connect to the handsfree set (I haven't investigated all versions to check in which one the problem started).
The Viseeo MB-3 is totally updated with last FW version.
Any ideas?
