I have a Alpine Blackbird 2 portable GPS and a Cingular 8125. I'm able to pair them, but it won't sync the phone book. Also if they go out of range or bluetooth is turned off I have to manually "re pair" them. Is there a hack etc. that will enable the syncing of my phone book,received calls etc. and auto "re pairing" THANX!

So i once paired my phone with my car stereo handsfree, but since it was a $100 stereo, the handsfree didn't work correctly. So i don't want to use it anymore. But the stupid stereo have no way to turn off bluetooth.
I tried deleting the stereo from paired devices, and set my phone bluetooth to "hidden" - but that stupid stereo still finds me, and a message about "bla bla wants to connect" pops up everytime i get into my car.
I also tried disconneting power from my stereo, and use the reset switch on it, which reset all settings on it - but IT STILL FINDS MY PHONE!
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? At the end of the day, i have like 10 notifications on my phone i have to go through and click "No" on...
On the Wizard did you ...?
1) Push the Comm mgr tab
2) Click on settings
3) BlueTooth Settings
4) Mode: UN-check the box "Make this device discoverable to other devices"
5) click OK.
If you didn't do that, try it.
Then go to B/T settings again and pick devices, and remove the device giving you trouble.
That SHOULD do it.
as mentioned i have already made it undiscoverable for other devices. But it still tries to connect to me...
Hi All,
Here is an unusual one for you guys - you have really helped me out in the past; so here's hoping......
I currently work from home and would like to use my Bluetooth enabled Laptop as a handsfree kit for my Wizard. I suppose in a similar way to an aftermarket in car kit with caller display, contact navigation, dialling from the laptop etc, etc. I have all the stuff i.e. microphone, speakers, bluetooth on my laptop so I don't really want to buy an in-car kit to do the same job.
Is this possible, and how do I do it ??
I synchronise Outlook via Bluetooth, so I have no problem in connecting the two devices.
Just to clarify why I'm looking to do this - I have to place my Wizard in my study window in order to get a decent mobile signal. If I have it on my desk the signal disappears. I make all my business calls on my Wizard, and I am getting seriously fed up with getting up and down around 20 times daily to answer my phone!! Then if I need to refer to some info on my laptop, the signal vanishes when I get to the laptop 'cos I've moved away from the window..aaarrgghhh!!
Here's thanking you all in advance.
Possible Solution
As much as I know, and I understand, It is possible to use your laptop speaker and microphone to answer the calls on your Wizard. To do so,
1-Your laptop must be equiped with the WidComm Bluetooth Hardward and Drivers
2-Pair your Laptop with the Wizard.
3-Go to CommManager on Wizard then Setting > Bluetooth Select your laptop and in services check the handsfree.
4-Allow the full access to Wizard on your Laptop and connect to wizard.
5-You will see the handfree icon on Wizard.
Now on If any call comes you can hear the call on your Laptop speakers and Anwser via Laptop's Mic. But you have to stand up and go to Wizard to accept the call or dial a number. I not know if it is possible to answer from Laptop.
Thanks.
Thanks for the response Hacken.
I have also found this:
http://www.blueshareware.com/bluetooth_pc_dialer.asp
This enables a calls to be dialled and terminated from the PC via Bluetooth, but it doesn't work the other way around. I have been looking into this for a few days now and it would appear many people are also looking for a solution.
The market potential for a fully functioning Bluetooth/PC link must be vast as it could be a solution for disabled users in making phone calls, used in call centres, in car PC's etc, etc
Hi!
I use BTHTools with my Himalaya for automatic switching of BT on/off.
It turns the BT ON if necessary (ex. incoming/outgoing calls), and turns it OFF when done. Good for saving battery.
Works also for other BT use, such as BT GPS, BT via Activesync, BT file transfers, etc., turns BT ON, keep it connected and automatically turns OFF for about one minute after connectivity is lost/ended.
However, it does NOT work with my Hermes.
Is there a similar application for Hermes? Moreover, it would be great if it would also automatically control NOT ONLY bluetooth but WIFI, GPRS and other connections as well. Similar to comm manager but automatic/timed.
Thanks.
I just got a TMOUS HD2 and had the same problems a lot of other people are having connecting it to my car. It connects to the car correctly, downloads the address book, but no sound comes through the cars speakers and the call doesn't register on the cars phone display. I searched XDA and there seems to be a bunch of registry change posts that don't seem to work all the time and disable some features. By doing the following I get it to work consistently with all the features enabled.
1) Turn off the data connection and Bluetooth in Comm Mgr
2) Turn on Bluetooth and connect (or pair) the phone with the car
3) Make a call
4) While in the call, turn the data connection back on
It works for my Land Rover RRS and stays working until I reset the phone. After I reset, I just go through the above procedure again.
I don't know if it works for every car make but it should work for most Volvos, Jaguars, and Land Rovers since most of them use common bluetooth systems.
Hope this helps somebody.
I am having the same issue. I have to manually connect the music stream. The phone stream always connects. Hoping for a fix from T-Mobile.

My car doesn't support A2DP - the phone's separate from the audio head. All the car's phone features work though - voice recognition, conference calling, transfer to and from the handset, and address book and digit dial. I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix though. It's the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack that HTC started using with the TP2 so there are over a year's worth of complaints logged with HTC and no sign of a fix.
well, not much to be said for the Microsoft bluetooth stack either. I have a 2010 LR4 and can't get my HTC Raphael/Touch Pro/Fuze to keep a connection. Hard to know what the problem is, starting a WiFi or GPS session often resets the connection, in addition to the random drops, sometimes mid-call.
When I tried an iPhone though, it worked fine, naturally.
I have a N6P, rooted 6.0.1 with Xposed. I use MacroDroid to automate some processes. E.g. I have a macro that enables bluetooth whenever I leave the house and my phone disconnects from the home wifi network. In my car I use a Parrot CK3100 bluetooth voice kit. I want my phone to automatically connect to the kit whenever bluetooth on my phone is enabled and I start my engine (and the Parrot becomes powered). Whenever I switch on bluetooth manually and it is on for some time and I get into my car and start the engine, my phone connects to the Parrot without any problems.
I also have a macro which actions are that a sound is played and it vibrates whenever the phone connects to my Parrot. But whenever I leave my house, I can see that my bluetooth is enabled but when I get into my car and start the engine, I can hear the sound and feel the vibration of the MacroDroid macro, but the screen of the Parrot still shows the Parrot logo and not the name of my phone. So MacroDroid confirms that a connection has taken place (otherwise there wouldn't be any sound and vibration), but in fact the phone and Parrot are not connected. Going then into BT settings and trying to connect manually works in 50% of the cases.
I have also tried AutomateIT to get this working, but with the same outcome. And the app Bluetooth Auto Connect (to force the connection) didn't bring any luck either.
Because when enabling BT manually before I leave the house the connection succeeds and when using the macro it does not (neither in MacroDroid not in AutomateIT), I suspect that it may have something to do with the (short) time between the enabling of BT and the powering on of the Parrot, but I'm not sure.
Anyone any ideas?
