Thanks in advance for any help!
Quick explanation of my setup. I have a Galaxy note 3 that I use for my phone, and I connect to my pioneer 8500 BHS stereo in my car as phone. I have a sprint HTC that sits in my glovebox and is used only for the app mirroring with App radio unchained. I need to have both connected by Bluetooth at the same time, the galaxy as phone and the HTC as media. This paring worked fine previously when I used a galaxy s2 instead of the HTC in my glovebox.
Problem: the HTC Bluetooth does not have the option on the phones Bluetooth menu to choose what type of connection you want to use. On the S4 I could choose, under Bluetooth options, if I wanted to use it for media or phone, but the HTC does not have those options, I only see phone.
If I connect my Note 3 first as phone, then the HTC will connect as media, and sometimes that will work great, other times app radio will not recognize that Bluetooth is connected at all, most times after I turn my car off and on. Other times ill restart my car and the HTC will connect first, and then my note 3 wont be able to connect at all.
Question: is there a sprint HTC ROM (or something else I can install) that includes the Bluetooth options that allow you to specify on the phone what mode you want connected for Bluetooth (the MHL must work for this rom as well)? if not any other suggested solutions? ive tried a few different roms, and stock, all that I have tried have this same issue. ive tried badboyz, beanstalk, viper one, and one or two others.

Is now on the right track:good:
Have you tried searching the Play Store for helpful apps that might be able to handle this? I haven't checked, but it is the first place that you should check.
And FYI, I know just what you are talking about. Funny enough, I think that Sense 4+ allowed you to differentiate...however, I'm not entirely sure.
the GPE rom gives the option, it's not sense but it works even with mhl

I can't seem to pair my Touch Diamond with my MacBook Pro running 10.5, they can't see each other via bluetooth at all no matter which side initial the search. I wonder if there is anyone came across the same situation and have a solution or any ideas what may went wrong.
I have tried with the original stock rom and two different cooked rom, still no luck...
which sync software do you use on OS X ... i'm using "the missing sync 4.0.3" ... everything works fine
I just want to pair them with bluetooth and use PAN to use my data connection.
Any idea?
Do you want to use the data connection of your Mac? I only was able to use the data connection of my diamond via Bleutooth-PAN. The other way around seems to have an issue.
I have posted this question also to the discussion forum at apple.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7632465#7632465
About pairing both (Mac and Diamon) this works for me (MBPro OS X 10.5.4). Have you enabled the "visibility" of both devices during pairing?
Hi,
Its possible to use the Diamond as an internet modem with OSX.
I had tried to get this to work for the last couple of weeks.
It really depends on your bluetooth dongle. I had success with Cambridge Silicon based chipsets. I had a Belkin one and another generic one which didn't work.
You need to pair it from within OSX. You'll know its successful when it displays an option for joining bluetooth PAN after pairing. You'll have an option to "Join Network" under the paired device submenu in the OSX Bluetooth menu.
Once its done, all you need to do is start ICS on ur Diamond and select Bluetooth PAN, than Connect. After that, select "Join Network" on ur Mac and off you go!.
You can also connect the diamond to the USB port for power.
I tried USBModem which didnt work.
My laptop is an Acer 5570 hackintosh. Hope this helps.

Probably a stupid question but have you ticked the box on the Diamond that says "Make this device visible to other devices"?
It can be found under Communications - Settings menu - Bluetooth
and it's on the Mode tab.
I want to use my ICS via PAN, and I can't pair my Diamond with my MacBook Pro with bluetooth, they can't see each other no matter which side I initial the search and I am sure both of them have turned on the discoverable option....
I can pair my diamond with my iMac ONLY if I disable TF3D!
I use Eltima SyncMate (epert edition) to sync and it's working great.
Only if I leave TF3D on the driver on the diamond will crash.
Luckely it's quite simple to disable TF3D n a few clicks.
(Start>settings>home>unselect TF3D>[OK])
Eltima has updated their drivers.
It works now:
Syncing (folders, contacts, mail etc etc) while TF3D is running
There are a few solutions available in case you have not already solved the problem:
The free part of SyncMate works well for contacts and calendar and supports internet sharing
http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/SyncMate-Download-28111.html
I am running OS X on Dell 1525 with Bluetooth Internet sharing with HTC Diamond, and syncing contacts and calendar with SyncMate with USB Bluetooth as a matter of routine.
when Sprint brings the new Gingerbread update? I have seen where a bluetooth mouse works on some devices that have HID. I tried one a couple weeks ago and it didn't.
Then I have seen a USB adapter that says you can hook up an external mouse thorugh it.
I didn't know if the upgrade would make these devices work.
Bluetooth HID should mean that you can pair a Bluetooth mouse, and a ps3 controller
someone should work on that
Found it....sweet... did not want to be one of those guys that gives up and just makes a new thread..... so updated my tab today......features were..... HID Bluetooth and gingerbread.....which turned out pretty good tab does not lag as much scrolling through home screens and app drawer.... here's the million dollar question....any of you out there bought that Brando Keyboard Case and still have it??.... is it good to go? Can I buy one now and an icontrolpad? That would be freakin epic.....

More bluetooth woes from another Sprint Galaxy Tab user
Anyone been able to pair and connect their bluetooth keyboard since the Sprint update to Gingerbread?
I've been touch n go with one OEC model (no name brand). Bought a Motorola Wireless Keyboard last night and while the Tablet would recognize it, it wouldn't allow me the time to type in the passkey. It would go straight to error.
Here are my Sprint Tablet (7) specs:
Model:SPH-P100
Firmware version 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build: GINGERBREAD.EF17
On a seperate note, I was able to pair it with my HTC Evo, but not connect.
I'm beginning to suspect that Sprint didn't include the HID as I had read or I'm just an noobie idiot...appreciate the assistance either way.
I just purchased a Moga Pro bluetooth gamepad to use with my HTC One and I've been having connection issues with it, has anyone else had issues with the HTC One and a Moga Pro?
At first I could not get both modes on the Moga Pro setup t hrough the Moga Pivot app.. I would start the setup procedure in the Moga Pivot app and choose "Setup Mode A and Mode B" which starts the setup of Mode B first, and that would sync and connect just fine. But then when it got to setting up Mode A it would not sync and connect. So I unsynced everything and started over, this time I choose "Setup Mode A only" and doing it that way Mode A would setup and connect just fine but then I wasn't able to setup Mode B.... So basically I could only have one or the other setup, not both. FINALLY after trying several different things I was able to setup Mode A through the Pivot app and then manually setup Mode B through the Android Bluetooth Settings, however it took MANY MANY tries to get it to find and sync Mode B because it just wouldn't show up as a pair-able device.
The only issue is while I'm playing games with the Moga Pro it will frequently lose bluetooth connect and will not reconnect until I exit the game and go back to the Moga Pivot app, at which point it reconnects automatically, it just won't do so while I'm still in the game after it disconnects...
I am running a custom ROM and Kernel (ARHD 9.3 for the ROM, and ElementalX 0.11 for the Kernel), and have not been able to test it on the stock HTC One kernel and rom yet... Just trying to get an idea if other people are having the same issues or not before I go wiping my phone and reverting back to stock. In terms of general bluetooth issues I've read through the forum on the rom and kernel I'm using and no one has really reported any bluetooth issues.
MOGA Pro issues - HTC ONE VZW
bluegizmo83;41991569has anyone else had issues with the HTC One and a Moga Pro?[/QUOTE said:
I am going through the same issue with my HTC One (verizon) running the stock rom. I've had many issues with bluetooth connectivity with this phone in its stock ROM (cant hook up a ps3 controller even though it is rooted) so I purchased the MOGA as a workaround to keep my stock ROM and still have a bluetooth controller.
I can only get either mode A or B to sync as well, it frustrated me for a good 20-30 minutes before I gave up on it last night.

Strangely I have had bluetooth issues as well. I have found it would drop the connecting after a max of 2minutes of playing a game. Until, that is I took the Note3 I am using out of the holder and on my lap. Works perfectly. Seems a little distance seems to work for the Moga and my Note3.
I would be quite interested in an explanation - why does this happen? It is also a bit of pain as the reason I bought the thing was that it could be used as kind of one unit.
Hi I am planning to buy this, I have updated to Kitkat now. Does anyone still encounter this?
Just purchased a Moga pocket for my stock rooted HTC One M8 and cant get the phone to locate it on bluetooth.
Hi, I just recently got a new Golf with the app connect system that has Android Auto functionality built in. However, I just can't get it to work with my G4. I've downloaded the Android Auto app, I've tried using different cables but every time I plug it in the AA app seems to just crash. It also won't connect manually when I try to connect it in the car. I live in Australia. Is there anything else I can do/download to make this work? Thanks.
Don't know if this will help, but try to set the Android Auto on a headunit. Mine was set to Mirrorlink by default.
Maybe in the settings you should define it to choose Android Auto instead ?
Make sure the phone is unlocked when its plugged in. Also, try plugging in the phone before you turn on the car. My Nexus 5 is able to connect 90% of time on my 2016 GTI.
I just picked up my GTI last night. The salesman couldn't get Android Auto to connect to my AT&T G4. Android Auto was set as the preferred connection. I've tried connecting with my phone locked, unlocked, plugged in before/after the car is on, plugged in after/before the phone is unlocked, USB debugging on and off, MTP, charging only, PTP.

I work at a vw/Skoda dealership. I am tech savvy. I have tried I phones and various Androids with Mirrorlink/Android Auto and to be honest the results are pretty Mixed. I phones mostly pair OK but with so many iterations of Android topped with manufactures bloatware its impossible. I have failed to pair phones that are compatible and tried every app every cable and every configuration even the Manufacturers are clueless. Some models I managed to pair took me 40 or 50 attemps. Android Auto is in its infancy and stability will take time. I managed an S5 with ease and S6 with great difficulty a HTC one A9 which is very unstable. A HTC one M8, but didn't manage the Huawei P8 yet but I'm working on it. I failed with a galaxy S4 and succeeded with another one. I have an LG G4 on the way so that will be interesting. I have had 100% success pairing I iPhones but customers tell us the connection drops out. However I do think Android Auto offers more in terms of functionality if you can live with the fact that you may not ever get it working.
Anything new with G4
Did you manage to make the LG G4 working?
Hello
I had the same problem with my VW Passat GTE 2016 + LG G4. Solved it by going into the settings in the car (under App Connect) and chose Android Auto as default instead of MirrorLink which was the default before.
(although it doesn't work very well anyway, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't)
I have Android Auto 1.6.2400

Just to confuse the issue even more, my vw connects to android auto pretty much perfectly every time & yet I only discovered by accident that the default setting on the head unit was set to mirror link so maybe that's not the cause for you after all. It's pretty basic software so far it seems.

I picked up my new Golf today, but it doesn't have the App Connect. My phone is an Oneplus One with MM Cos 13, do you think Android Auto can work with it?
Just my experience : I own a 2016 Jetta with App Connect and a Nexus 4. I had similar issues with AA connections first. The phone was running Android L 5.1..1. 2 weeks ago I went ahead and installed CM13 and now AA works way better : I never had a connection failure since... Really a plug and forget experience now. So I think Android M is better for Android Auto. Moreover I read that latest AA update includes fixes for connection stability.
I've given up on the Google Forums, looking for some relief here. Last September we bought a new 2017 Honda CRV. Great car, except...
It worked for several months, now I can't get AA to remain connected at all. I think I have been through everything. I just tried the recommended high quality Belikin 3.1 USB cord, it didn't make any difference. Tried other cords as well. This is so frustrating. One of the main reasons we went with the Honda over the Toyota was the availability of Android Auto. Unfortunately, this has been a real excercise in frustration.
When I start the car (USB not connected at this point), Bluetooth connects and AA automatically starts up on my phone. After a few moments, I plug in the USB cord. On the CRV's home screen the blue Android Auto logo shows in the smartphone field. I tap it and my phone connects to the head. So far so good. However, within a minute Android Auto vanished from my phone's screen and on the car's display I get "Device Not Connected".
Has anyone else had/solved this problem? Any of you using an HTC phone? It's not like the phone disconnects, it seems more like AA on the phone just shuts itself off/crashes within a minute or two of starting, but what do I know? Here is the kicker, the system seems to work fine with my wife's Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, SM-G930V. I just went out for a little drive. The HTC refuses to remain connected, the Samsung did just fine.
Error message: On head, "Device Not Connected". AA on my phone just stops. It's like AA on the phone stops working causing a disconnect from the car. Here is more info about my system.

Tried changing out HTC cords to no avail. Just purchased new Belikin USB 3.1 cord. It didn't make any difference.
I have done a factory reset on my phone and on the Honda's display unit as well. I uninstalled HTC's Boost+, reset my phone's Bluetooth. I changed the battery settings on my phone to not optimize AA, Waze and Google Maps.
How can I fix this? Is there anyway out of this rabbit hole?
Switch USB debugging off change Bluetooth from 1.4 to 1.6 in the developers settings
Running into the same problem with an after-market Sony head unit (XAV-AX5000) and a Samsung Galaxy S7 (Oreo 8.0). I'll have to give the BT setting a try.

Nope, didn't work. It seems to connect to the phone fine, but then it quickly disconnects, within seconds, or a minute or two. Posting on Honda thread, it doesn't seem to be an across the board problem, I think it's limited to my phone. Having said that on the AA forums there are plenty of complaints about connecting problems. I was hoping against hope that this forum might have a deeper understanding or possible resolutions.
