Since the upgrade to Android 4.3 on my HTC One, I have issues with my bluetooth car connection. My address book only partially displays on my car kit (Skoda RNS 510, Columbus). I have tried factory resetting my car unit, choosing other address books, all to no avail.
Is there anyone else having the same issue?
I'm running standard HTC Sense 5.5, no root.

I picked up my new car yesterday (Seat Ibiza) only to find that my N1 will not pair with the installed bluetooth handsfree system. I can find the kit when searching for bluetooth devices (picks up as Seat_BT with a headphones symbol alongside) however selecting the 'pair & connect' option results in a messagebox stating "There was a problem pairing with Seat_BT" - no PIN code is requested.
I've tested the car with other devices (laptop, other phone) and the pairing is successful.
I've checked the compatibility listing with Seat and they list (from Dec 2009) the Hero and Magic as compatible (as at Android v1.5). I've also seen posts in Seat forums indicating that the HTC Desire pairs successfully with the Ibiza handsfree option.
My N1 is stock, unbranded running 2.2.1.
Can anyone here give me some insight into the differences in the bluetooth stacks / known issues with N1 bluetooth that may help me resolve this?
Is there a way of logging bluetooth pairing requests that will help me find the root cause of this issue?
TIA

I've resolved my own problem, so here's the approach for anyone else..
To pair the Seat kit with a Nexus One you need to do the following:
1. Find an app on the Android Market called "Bluetooth File Transfer" by Medieval Software
2. Install
3. Using the app (on the 'Remote Devices tab) initiate the pairing with the car
4. You will get the PIN prompt - enter the 1234 PIN
5. Once paired the app will begin transfering something (I think it's call history but not sure).
It will then report an error - don't worry about that.
6. Shutdown the app and uninstall it (it is no longer required).
7. Reboot the N1 (to clear out any remaining dregs of the app).
8. Phone should then connect and disconnect using the standard bluetooth functionality.
Not sure why this works, perhaps the app extends the default bluetooth stack, resolving the issue that prevents the prompt for the pair passkey.
I've not fully checked the level of functionality available, but I can definitely initiate a call to the last dialled number and answer incoming calls.
Hi
Upgraded from a HTC Desire to the O2X. Amazing phone and v pleased with it.
However I've come across an issue that I wonder has anyone else seen and hopefully resolved.
My HTC Desire successfully paired with bluetooth enable in-car system (Range Rover) and the phonebook was downloaded. The O2X pairs fine and I can make/receive calls but the phonebook does not download.
Is this caused by the LG contacts app or is it something else.
Thanks for any help

I will be confronted with this problem in 2-3 weeks as well, when my new car arrives. It's everything about bluetooth protocols.
The perfect solution would be to have the rSAP protocol running on the LGOS but as we probably all know, it's an Android problem that this protocol was not foreseen.
The protocol we have to use is called HFP Hands Free Protocol. One disadvantage of this one is, that it's not as flexibel as the rSAP one. You may have to remove the old phone out of the in-car system. I can't tell you which one is used in your Range Rover but I'm quite sure your Ranger Rover Service Partner can help you with this.
good luck!
Hi,
I am new to this site and would really would like some help with my phone and car stereo Bluetooth setup.
My phone - HTC One 4.4.2, sense 5.5.
I have just installed an Android 4.2.2 car stereo in my car. Everything is working fine but the 'Bluetooth transfer of my address book from my phone'. Calling is working fine. Have tried everything but cant seem to get the address book transferred.
Please help.
Thanks
I've had my Nexus 6 since Jan. 1, upgrading from an HTC One M7 GPE running 5.0 Lollipop. I experienced Bluetooth connectivity issues with the HTC One after upgrading to 5.0L from 4.4KK, and I knew they were 5.0 related, so I expected somewhat of the same when getting the N6. My problem is, even after upgrading my N6 to 5.01 and then 5.1, most of my Bluetooth issues still exist. I'm trying to figure out if they are indeed software related, or if maybe I have a defective BT radio. I'm rooted, running stock 5.1 LMY47M, with ElementalX Kernel and Nova Launcher. Here is a list of the issues I'm having with my N6 and Bluetooth:
1. Constant dropped connection to my car's bluetooth. Will connect when car is first powered on, then drops connection after about 20 seconds only to reconnect 30 seconds after that, then drop again within 30 seconds. Sometimes it will connect and stay connected for hours. This issue didn't exist with my HTC One running 4.4KK, but did happen intermittently after upgrading it to 5.0L. This issue also doesn't seem to exist when connecting my wife's N5 running 5.1 LMY47D.
2. Problem #1 also seems to exist when connecting my N6 to my Nvidia Shield Tablet running 5.0L, but not as persistent as with Car BT.
3. When my N6 does connect to my Nvidia Shield Tablet, I can send messages using joaoapps' AutoRemote over Bluetooth from my N6 to my Tablet, but not from my Tablet to my N6. Both phone and tablet are configured correctly. This one has me completely stumped and I've spent hours troubleshooting it before just giving up.
3. Audio stuttering when connected to my BT headphones. Again no issue when using said headphones with HTC One 4.4KK or wife's N5 5.1 LMY47D.
3. Bluetooth seems to turn off randomly. At first I thought it was one of my Tasker profiles, but problem still exists even after uninstalling Tasker.
4. My N6 will not connect to my BT OBDII adapter. N6 pairs with adapter, but adapter does not work with Torque or any other ODBII app. HTC One 4.4KK, wife's N5 5.1 LMY47D, and my Nvidia Shield tablet running 5.0L all connect with no issue.
I have tried every suggestion on threads (Reboot, clear Bluetooth Share cache, clear Bluetooth Share Data, forget all connections and re-pair, Bluetooth Auto Connect app) with no luck. I love my N6, but I've hated these BT issues since day one and I've crossed my fingers with every Lollipop update that they would be resolved, to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone (or everyone) is experiencing similar issues with BT, or is it just my N6, and I should return it for a new one before warranty expires. Thanks.
Hi,
I've Acura TSX 2012 Sport Wagon with Technology Package. It comes with HomeLunk (which I think is same as Honda uses). I've tried connecting my HTC Desire 510 with Acura but car never registers the device. Also On phone HTC keep scanning for Bluetooth devices nearby but never see anything.
Anyone have any idea how can I resolve this issue ? I've not changed anything on my HTC Desire 510, it is stock Cricekt Wireless configuration that came.
Thanks in advance.
