I am sure this is going to sound stupid, but here it is anyway. I downloaded the new bluetooth tool and nothing happened except an additional entry on my today screen. I don't see any other settings like a bluetooth manager/porfiles etc. Do you have to have a bluetooth card installed for this option to work?
Are you using an XDA or XDA2 with this? You say XDA2 in the topic title, but your profile says XDA.
Which model you're using would make quite a difference.
Bluetooth for xda
Oops, it is xda, sorry
Xda has no bluetooth.

Hi,
I've just bought a Motorola HS810 for my O2 XDA 2 (I have uninstalled the pre-installed O2 software) and cannot seem to get them to work together. The device is bonded ok on handsfree mode but doesn't seem to respond to anything that is sent from the headset. I've noticed there seems to be some fix going around from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/ but not sure if this is relevent. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
John.
it's not working on my end as well
me bad, it's working
i forgot to enable the BT Headset profile
Dear XDA folks,
a bit of a story about what the problem is exactly, and how I want to fix it:
I'm a happy owner of an HTC desire with froyo on it, which works like a charm.
There's one small problem though, my car stereo seems to be a bit picky when connecting.
My bluetooth is on, I start the car, and the phone tells me it has connected to a headset, the stereo tells me nothing is connected.
Same happens with the A2DP function, phone says it is connected, stereo doesn't detect it.
After a bit of messing around with it, I found a way to work around this, after connecting, disable and enable the bluetooth profiles (called media and handsfree in android) once, and they both work like a charm.
----
What I want to do, is make an app which checks if the device is connected to the stereo (which shouldn't be much of a problem), and then switch both of the audio profiles off for a moment (one at a time) and then back on.
Problem is, how do I switch them from my app? I've been looking at the documentation for hours, but I can't seem to find out.
The bluetoothchat sample is a great start to build a BT program I think, but I'm pretty much stuck here.
Is there someone who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Nobody? I succeeded with making an app that displays the paired devices (after a bit of borowing from the BTchat sample), so that pointed me in the right direction.
Still, I'm stuck with the problem of switching the profiles/services on and off, and I'm sure one of you can help me
Thanks
Hey I'm no expert but you may want to check out the app called tasker in the market, you could look into the app's codes cause from what I experienced, I see a state there that says 'if bluetooth connected...' Then you can add an event to trigger after that.it's an awesome automater app. Base the codes from there.

Great thanks for the idea, will try that right away.
Will let you know how it turned out.
-edit-
DARN can't find options to enable/disable a2dp and handsfree in tasker, maybe I'm missing it, but so far I don't think it is there.
Thanks for the suggestion though
Help?! Can't believe noone knows how to do this?
Heeeeeeelp! Still stuck with it
Hi guys,
I have a very strange problem with my beloved note. After I get in the car and drive off I remember that I have to turn bluetooth on so it can connect to the hands free system. The thing is that it doesn't connect automatically, I have to go into the settings and tap the BT name in order to connect it. If on the other hand if I have BT already enabled on the phone before starting the car, it conmects automatically. With the first version of GB the Note had in November I didn't have this issue, but after the first update it started not to work. Now I am on official unrooted ICS 4.0.3. Never had this problem with any other phone.... Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can try Automatic Bluetooth Toggle PRO (I think there is trial version on Google Play). I don't know if it will help you. If not then I'm sorry you will probably have to go back to GB. I'm still on GB as I was also having issues with bluetooth on stock ICS (CM9-based ROMs worked well though).
Thanks a lot. GB had the same annoying problem though :-(... so it's not that....

Hi,
Did you allow the pairing automatically between the devices?
When you pair at installation, it isn't permanently (= automatic) yet. When you get in your car and pair for a second time, normally your phone asks you if you allow your hands free system to access your phone; at that moment you have to tick "don't ask me again" and "yes" for automatic paring.
You might want to disassociate the two and try a new setup (pairing).
To disassociate, stop the system in your car (that cuts the BT connection between the two), disassociate on the phone (push and hold your hands free system in the BT section of the phone and chose disassociate), reboot your phone (so it forgets your cars BT system) and start pairing all over again.
I would provoke the second connection so you get the "automatic" question to make it work.
Good luck :good:
I have the same problem with the original ICS rom.
Flashing a custom ICS rom fixes this problem.
I tried kingdroid (worked ok)
I tried Cyanogen (phone ok, no media audio over BT but connection OK).
I had a similar problem after upgrade with stock ICS through software update. I couldn't pair Note with Mercedes bluetooth. Galaxy Note recognized Mercedes BT & vice versa, but connection was impossible. I read every forum on internet but no help. Everybody was blaming Samsung and ICS. Some suggested resseting Note to factory default, others downloading bluetooth app etc.
Until...I finally figured out that something was confusing my car's BT, so I resseted car system, and the problem was solved.

These is a twist with "old" BT systems and ICS: Old BT systems want you to insert a pin code, ICS wants you to to confirm a code that the BT system sends and that ICS shows on the screen.
It's obvious that that ICS on an old system can be a hassle.
A work around is to put the car in discover mode (so it shows the pin code) and then send a contact (or a picture) from the phone to the car system. As the car replies, your phone will show the possibility to insert the PIN Code.
After that your system should work.
At second connection make the pairing automatic (as I described above) and you're happy.
(This is not my discovery, I found this solution on the SE XPeria Ray forum as I had problems with my wifes phone )
Thaks a lot. I will try as soon as I get the chance and will let you guys know.

So with the workaround mentioned above - it doesn't work. When turning on bt on the phone it won't automatically connect to the car.

Try A2DP Volume on the market.
I have the same problem as you. I used a leaked ics rom on my galaxy s2 and also had the same problem we now have on our ics galaxy notes. My car's head unit is a 3 year old eclipse cd5030. For the last month ive just been manually pairing it every time. PITA. Ill try the workaround suggested earlier in this thread and let you know. Otherwise i think cyanogen mod rom may work.

I had similar issues with Parrot 9200 kit in my car. Paired automatically under GB but on stock ICS wouldn't pair unprompted. Sometimes it would but only after minutes.
I'm on Paranoid Android 0.4 now which is CM9 based. It's better but often still slow to pair unprompted. Main improvement for me is that the phone doesn't carry on playing music through its own speaker, like it did on stock ICS, when I turn off the engine.
There is an app on the market called "Auto Connect 2.0", but it is only available for ICS and above Android versions
atiesfo the
i have same problem with my note, but with my Galaxy S1 works fine, when i upgrade the android to 4.0.4 solves the problem.
I have a BT mouse and keyboard. I used to be able to get them both to pair. Now, only the keyboard will pair.
If I delete all paired devices, and re-boot, and then try to pair the mouse, I get a 'blue tooth keyboard disconnected' message, but no success with the mouse.
My hypothesis is that there is a file somewhere in the system, that stores details of previously paired devices, which has become corrupt. If I could delete or edit it, I may be able to fix the problem.
Does anyone know where this file would be, or have an alternative idea?
l'd previously raised this in a mouse-specific thread. but it strikes me as a potentially more general issue, hence the new thread.

Re: Bluetooth pairing
If no-one knows the actual answer, does anyone know where I can find definitive information on BT functions, data stores and architecture in android? I have tried searching.
thanks

/data/misc/bluedroid/ perhaps?
not sure, but I see an .xml file in there that has info about devices that I've paired.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I tried renarning/deleting those files, but when I turned BT on they were automatically re-created, so the master is obviously elsewhere, although I didn't actually try to re-pair at this point.
There are some configuration files in /etc/bluetooth which are also in /system/etc/bluetooth
I then found /data/data/.com.android.bluetooth/databases. I deleted the files here, and the pairing worked, re-creating the files. Something of a relief as it was driving me crazy.

Good thing you got it worked out. Looks like the best person to put on the case was you
But yeah, it had to have been in /data somewhere - /system is mounted read-only.
OT a little bit - I bought a sort of chintzy BT keyboard (RockSoul BK101) some time back, and it seems to "time out" fairly rapidly... after 2-3 minutes of inactivity or so. Even though the N7 shows it as paired, I can't just turn it on/off to get it to connect - I need to re-pair it every time I lose connection with it. Does your BT kbd behave similarly, or have I just got a POS kbd?

There's an app called Bluetooth Keepalive that may help with that. You might also find external keyboard helper useful, as you can re-allocate functions to keys, set detection and key press rates etc

Is there anyway to disable the autoplaying of music on my phone when it connects to the car bluetooth sound system? I like streaming music.... just not every time I get into the damn car!
loving the S4 otherwise!
Interesting. Mine does not do this.

Hmmm maybe its not the phone and its the Handsfree in the honda civic commanding it to play?
Hmm I'm actually interested in this as well. My old One X used to auto connect and auto play when I got in the car, but the S4 doesn't. It only auto connects to the phone, not A2DP like I want it to...

Mine does do this though. It's annoying as $? #$. I have to go into settings and and manually connect media audio 99% of the time. It never does start playing automatically though.
Mine initially would do the autoplay but after I reset all the Bluetooth pairings for my car stereo the S4 then only paired phone audio and I also have to go in to manually pair media audio. Looks like I got the best of both worlds! My Galaxy Nexus and Tab 7.7 didn't do this, and neither did my iPhone. Annoying.
I actually had the same problems with my S2. I removed the android music player and used winamp to get around the autoplay annoyance. but on the S4 i actually like the stock player....I didn't want to remove it. It sounds like it seems to be dependant on the bluetooth device that its paired to. I was hoping for a missed setting... grrrr

My phone is rooted, how would I disable this autoplay feature in android? There's got to be a file somewhere I can edit to fix this..
Its very annoying to always have poweramp auto play when I connect to bluetooth. (And Poweramp is set to NOT respond to bluetooth)
Has anyone figured out the root cause of this autoplay silliness?
hey guys, I had this issue as well, even tho on the phone side I "forgot" my car, my car still requested my phone every time I turned it on. but actually, nearly every stereo has some Bluetooth settings. my car didn't have an option to forget my phone, but it did have an option to switch "auto connect" off. look thru your stereos menu, you're likely to find what you're looking for.
