Bluetooth & BMW car kit

I'm having a problem with the bluetooth on the HTC with the bmw car kit (E46, 2004). It auto connects fine every time, but I can only make or receive 1 call. After that call has ended, it still claims it is connected - I can browse the phone book, but when the next call comes in it will ring through the car kit, but as soon as I answer it the audio comes out of the phone, not the car kit. The same happens if I initiate the call instead of receive.
It's not the car kit, it has worked flawlessly with previous phones (Sendo, N80) I just have a problem with this one. It happened with the stock rom (voda UK), and all versions of Dutty's.
Anyone any ideas?

Have you tried flashing a different radio?
I also had a weird BT problem and flashing a new radio helped.

Hi
How are you answering the incoming call?
My boss has a similar car to yours with BMW proffesional bluetooth and is running an HTC S710 which works perfectly.
I have found the although you are connected to handsfree if you answer the call on the handset and not via the bluetoooth controls then it will push the audio through the handset not the handsfree.
therefore are you answering the 2nd or 3rd incoming call on the handset or the handsfree?
I might be able to test my vodafone v1615 on this car kit during the week.

Hello,
I also have a BMW X3 E86 from 2004 with a BMW Bluetooth Kit ( I believe is the some as yours... ) and my Kaiser works great without any problems.
My Kaiser Radio version is: 1.27.12.11
I hope this can help you troubleshooting your problem!
pt_t830

well i have a Z4 ´06 and all work fine...to be honest i haven`t try it after last BMW nav (Professional) upgrade to V.29 but before this all was OK...Otherwise there was no possimility to use it with a new N or E Nokia

This is from HTC's website... I hope it will fix your problem

Thanks for the hotfix link, unfortunately I forgot to mention I had already tried it and it didn't work.
I have radio version 1.27.21.11, same as you pt_t830.
I'll try that Jetware handsfree extension..

I have tried it both ways, but it makes no difference whether it is answered via the button on the steering wheel, the centre console or the phone - the audio will always come out the phone, not the car kit on the 2nd call. It does turn off the audio on the radio though, and it always rings through the car kit.
Even if the call is initiated from the car kit by browsing the phone book and dialling, no sound will come out the car kit - and then I realise it has already rung but the ringing tone has come out the phone and the other person has answered!

I had similar problems on my E46 M3. I have put jetware on and it's perfect now. I even get a mail indicator on the sat nav when I receive an SMS, never got that before!

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Probems: random disconnect

Hi there,
I've got a xperia z with a stock rom(android 4.1.2 build 10.1.A.1.434.) and a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bt Headset(running with the latest firmware).
The phone is new, only one week old. I've installed only few programs (beside the bloatware already on the phone).
One out of that is "avast mobile security", not sure if it's a possible fault for the problems I'm going to describe...:
The Headset is paired and I can, sometimes, use it.
Sometimes the headset gets disconnected from the mobile phone during calls(to get the call back on headset I need to turn bt on/off on the xz)
Sometimes the headset states "connected to phone 1" but when I start a call it's not possible to use the headset (same fix, bt on/off on the xz)
Also the Voice Commands are not working, a black page pops up and closes immediately.
The same Headset is paired with a Samsung S2, and there are no problems with that phone.
(...except voice commands, I've never tried them on that phone...)
Has somebody similar problems with a bt headset and this phone?
Has somebody similar problems with the same bt headset and this phone?
Is there a "magic app" that could fix problems or help debugging this problem?
(- I've tried the plantronics app, but this one was very unstable so I removed it.)
Kind regards

its a known issue with bluetooth headsets. But I have a Sony MDR-1RBT and i have never had music skip. At the same time, not so lucky if i am listening on the free NFC speaker I got from Clove. Its a bit hit and miss really. May be do a factory reset and try again. If not try to replicate the issue and go to the nearest Sony Center for a warranty case ?

I just wanted to add that I have a Nexus 4 with the Plantronics Voyager Legend and I'm having the same issue of random disconnects during a call. I'm running AOKP on my phone. I still haven't figured out how to fix it, but this is not just happening on the Sony Xperia Z.

Same problem

Hi, I have been experiencing the same issue on my Xperia LT28i also known as international Ion for several months now. I think I started having it around the time when I upgraded to ICS. Since then performed 2 hard resents but problem didnt go away. Nothing like this was experienced on Gingerbread (the version of the OS that came with the phone...
BTW, I am using two differen bluetooth earpieces - a Jabra and a Jawbone. Both have the same problem with sony - random transfer of teh conversation from the earpiece to the phone. this is really annoying when driving... Sometimes it gets worse and does it every 5 mins. other times wont happen an entire day...
I waited for 6 month for the JB update, hoping it would cure the problem. Updated to JB on AUG 1 but the problem persists. Thinking about sending the phone to Sony for repair...

[Q] Bluetooth connection time on 4.2.2

Anyone else experience bluetooth connectivity issues on the new 4.2.2 firmware?
My car and BT headphones now take a lot longer to connect and disconnect to the phone compared to previous firmware.
In fact, the first time (after the update) i needed to manually connect to each deivce, almost like I had to remind the phone it was paired with them.
In comparison, my Nexus devices connect almost immediately on 4.2.2

Can anyone who is on 4.2.2 help test this?
Help confirm whether it is just me experiencing this or not. Thanks.

I have the same problem with my Mercedes BT System.
I connect my phone and lost my connection in 3-4min. After 10sec its connected again.
So my temporary work around was this:
1) Disconnect the Phone with my car
2) Clear Connetcion
3) Start new search and conntect the phone to BT
4) Didn´t allow the Mercedes BT to use my sms, contacts and so on.
With this it´s working if the BT System didn´t check my sms and contacts. But erverytime when I switch of the connection or car, I have to disallowed the BT System to check sms and contacts --- so this is only temporare and I hope for a better solution!
(Sry for my writen english - its bad )

My Bluetooth devices connected very quickly.

And no problems with sms and contact request?
Do you made a fullwipe?

My BMW simply won't pair with my XZ since updating to 4.2.2 - was working fine before on 4.1.2, but when I try to pair now, they recognise eachother, and I enter a code on the car to be verified on the phone, but after I enter the code on the phone, it all just freezes. The car sits there saying "Pairing...", but the phone thinks it's all been successful.

I have a bose audio system in my car, my XPERIA Z running PAC Rom - will pair, no audio or phone book exchange, My Dads Xperia z Works fine with stock rom. there is some issue I think with 4.2.2 maybe? I tried the Audio v19 and bluwtooth fix. NO LUCK!

Yes.. Having the same problem as well with Volvo's sensus multimedia system. It used to work fine.. Now it takes multiple tries to get it to connect since 4.2.2

I have the same problem.

I am having the same problem with the sbh25.
When i turn on the headphones my phone registers the pairing but no sound will be on. I have to manually turn the phone to speaker output then back to headphones for the music to stream through the bluetooth headset. This works first time 9/10 times. The other time i have to repeat the output step a couple of times for the music to be heard.

I had a couple of issues too with the latest 4.2.2. on my Kenwood system in the car.

This is terrible, clearly Sony did not thoroughly test the BT stack in this latest firmware.
I can honestly say, BT was pretty much working perfectly on 4.1.2 firmware. I may have to consider downgrading.
Thanks for everyones confirmation.

4.3 Bluetooth Issues

Just wondering whether there is any fix for the bluetooth issue on 4.3 roms. I can connect my phone to car without any issues, but cant syn contacts or answer/reject calls via steering wheel. If not, is it possible perhaps to copy bluetooth related files over from 4.2?

Quite the same problem here. I can pair the XZ with my Car's device (ego flash), but I can't synch the phonebook.
I already deleted the Bluetooth setting on both devices, nothing helps
if somebody has a solution??
regards
kbert
sorry for my bad english...

I'm having exactly the same problems.
And it seems as if every android update on my xperia z fixes some bluetooth bugs and brings up some new ones. After each update, my phone behaves differently in my car.

I had the exact same issue, (to give a little more detail) it causes you to either drop wifi connection when on bluetooth or vice versa and i had just bought a sony smart watch that ran off of bluetooth.I never found a fix from sony. What i did do to fix it was flash myself the latest eXistenZ rom, it worked perfectly and both my smartwatch and wifi could work at the same time

Same song different dance
My issues with 4.3 update are related to the poor performance of the bluetooth driver on audio connect.
I have downgraded to 4.2 because i use bluetooth headphones and i have 2 bluetooth speakers, that with the 4.3 are almost useless because:
Low volume output over bluetooth, quality of the audio is a bit down, and most important for a heavy sleeper, the bluetooth speakers are working only with music/video soundtracks, they are not ringing anymore on phone calls, alarms, notifications.
Please, anyone, put the 4.2 bluetooth driver somewhere, flashable or i dont know, i tried everything, but i guess the best option is to install the 4.2 bluetooth driver on 4.3. Is it possible?

Now I found an workaround for me. I deleted all the photos inside the contacts ( about 8 or 9 contacts of 331 had a photo inside). Phone-Book sync and sending contacts separately is working now. Not perfect, but OK for the moment.
Could this be a problem with Android 4.3 ? I never had that before with my Defy, Razr i, Wiko Darkmoon or Alcatel OT6040D.

BT doubts

Hello experts,
On my Z3c I have a BT headset + SW3 smartwatch paired, and I use them at the same time, of course.
It happens that they do not work fine: for example notifications (such as the wibration of an incoming call) arrives late, or I get I headset not connect...
It looks like Z3c dosn't handle corretly 2 devices simultaneously via BlueTooth.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks

I have Z3C paired with SW3 and while driving a car, I'm always using my Sony BT radio MEX-N5100BT to stream music and handle the phone calls and I've never really had any problem with these devices, everything is OK...
I don't really know how to help you... BT connection is not a type of connection that suspends when the phone's screen is off so this is really strange that your devices don't work simultaneously. This might be stupid but do you use any app suspender such as Greenify? Or just stamina?
