Hi all.
Having a bit of a problem... A friend wants to use his X1 with his car Bluetooth system. It connects and works fine, but the connection is dropped as soon as the phone is put in Standby (ie. power button quick push). He doesn't want to use a car charger and then just leave it on all the time, although I have said it may be the best option... He wants to just have his phone in his pocket and walk to the car, have it connect and work - just like his old phone (P990). Is it possible to get WM to leave BT connections active when phone goes into standby? Even if the phone had to be on first to connect and then put into standby and the connection stays active.
I've looked around and been unable to find any info that works.
Anyone please?
Thanks
A2DP switch... found here on xda has a great keep alive function built right in... search around you'll find it
Hmm... thanks. I'll have a look at that, but is there not some registry thing or other setting I can adjust instead? That will keep only the BT on all the time?
Are there any app's available which allows the Bluetooth on my Hero to be set as always discoverable. My handsfree car kit used to auto connect to my old Windows mobile device but now I have to make my Hero discoverable every time I enter my car and its very annoying.

i would love this too, as it is a pain in the arse having to activate it all the time. Another stupid "improvement" from HTC.....what the hell were they thinking ???
You can add a Bluetooth On/Off Widget on one of the home screens.
Once the Hero is paired the devices should discover themselves with no issue. Set to discoverable or not.
My car kit very very rarely does not see and auto connect to the Hero. On the odd occasion that it doesn't connect, turning Bluetooth on and off via the HTC widget usually gets it hooked back up.
Its not perfect, but TBH no less perfect than other handsets I've owned.
Bluetooth file transfer is what we are really missing.
Having a nightmare with my car kit - PARROT CK3100 LCD and T-mobile G2
I have to turn on bluetooth make it discoverable the enter the pairing code ( everytime as it does not seem to keep the code) then the Parrot LCD flashes " MEM FULL " twic and then it connects but does not see the address book
Any suggestions much appreciated

Flash it
I was having very similar problems connecting my Hero to my car Bluetooth, it just would not pair, or work , i have flashed the official HTC update rom onto my Hero and now it connects everytime, no discover mode needed, and it works like a dream, you might want to give it a go, i fixed my issues .

I don't know why you have to keep pairing - mine auto detects no prob - both on stock G2 rom and Modaco 2.2e.
I can help you with the address book though - put a contact on your sim card. Anything will do, just make one up. Thereafter, I think you'll find your address book syncs.
Haven't seen the mem full thing, but I do recall you can only have five devices paired to the ck3100, so maybe you need to delete a pairing?
Cheers.

Android Bluetooth Discoverable Mode
Hi!
I'm having a similar problem with trying to keep the bluetooth on discoverable mode for some longer time as well. The phone I'm working with is the Nexus One and I was hoping anyone could help finding a way to get the app to turn on the discoverable mode automatically without having to request the user every 120 seconds or 300 seconds? The API for Bluetooth really limits me from making the duration of the discoverable mode longer and allowing me to change the bluetooth setting without user permission. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

That is well and great that it reconnects for many people. But, for many people it does not! I have Myn's Donut running from my sd on my HTC Touch. It never auto-connects to my Pioneer Avic-f90bt. I have to make it discoverable or turn the bluetooth off/on every time I get in the truck. When I run the phone with WM6 it always, always auto connected...always. So if the easy fix is an app to leave bluetooth on, how hard can it be for a programmer to do this. Simply saying "oh, it works fine on my phone" doesn't help us!
As much as I would like to use a custom ROM on the Mi9 to fix my problems it seems like gpay either doesn't work or is extremely difficult to get working so I'm stuck with stock for now.
Since day one with the device i've been unable to get wireless hotspot working, it connects but no internet works it sometimes very intermittently will open a webpage but then says no internet again and ping will stop working this is the same for all laptops I try with it. USB tethering works fine but that isnt' an option for my work laptop. Has anyone experienced this problem? I've tried all the settings, 2.4ghz / 5ghz etc.
The next problem is bluetooth, in my car I have the car bluetooth which is just for calls and then a audio bluetooth device for music, it connects to both fine.
After I have a call in the car I lose all the audio streamed to the audio bluetooth device despite it still being connected. I have to unplug this device to reset it and then it starts playing again. This is definitely a problem with the mi9 and not the device as I've tested other phones.
I'd be grateful for any advice on this.
Thanks
Hi.
I got a new car yesterday - Hyundai i20 - and it's my first experience of wireless Android Auto. I've got it working OK but I cannot get Spotify to actually play anything. I can select a track and it appears as playing but nothing actually happens. Work's fine when wired. Any suggestions? Thanks
I've worked out that this is because my phone is connected to the car Wi-Fi and Spotify is trying to access the internet through this but it does not have internet access. Blocking Spotify from accessing Wi-Fi solved this but I need to figure out a way of blocking only the car Wi-Fi.
You can just configure to use mobile data when the wi-fi doesn't have access to internet, its quite easy
I've done this but it doesn't work 100%. Mostly ok but not always, maybe due to my LTE coverage
Or you can enable similar thing in android dev. settings, to keep the mobile data active while on wifi
Hi, first post so bare with me.
I have a android head unit in my vehicle and a samsung s10 5g phone.
Every time I switch the ignition on and they try to connect the android audio on my phone never seams to connects. It seams to be continually searching for a connection with the head unit.
This blocks the phone from connecting to anything else. I.E maps.
Wifi and Bluetooth both connect with out any problems.
Photo of Head unit system attached.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks Andy.
