Hi, i recently got a HTC HD Touch on Orange which i bought on ebay. The phone already came loaded with WM 6.5 on and so far i love it except for one problem. I have a Datsun 350z with intergrated bluetooth. When i tried to search on my phone it couldnt see anything, so this morning i upgraded my phones ROM to the latest Dutty's_HD_WM6.5_5.2.23016.5.0.3_Leo_R5. Since then i can search and find the bluetooth device of the car, input the pin code for it and it is added in my devices tab, however nothing appears in the "Select services to use from this device" section.
I am wondering if nyone had any idea if i am doing something wrong or whether its jsut that my car doesnt support the phone? I was also thinking about reverting back to WM6.1, would that work? Also, how do i go about getting a vanilla copy of WM 6.1?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards

Just a quick update. I can get the phone to connect to the bluetooth module in the car but its not easy. Basically when i put the keys in ignition that bluetooth gets power, i then have to quickly search for bluetooth devices on my phone and then it will connect. Would be nice if the phone just connected everytime to the car like my Blackberry did. Is this hardware or software problem please?
Not that anyone actually cares about my problem but i thought i post the answer up for anyone that might be struggling in future.
What was stopping my Bluetooth working with my car was having WiFi on. When i disable WiFi the car + phone works perfectly together. In my particular situation i use my phone to connect to an ad-hoc network, and because the phone is not connected to the ad-hoc when in my car the searching constantly is causing the problem. Whether this would be the same with infrustucture mode im not sure.

Hi All,
I have been reading a lot of messages on both 8525 and 8125 trying to isolate the issue and there doesn't seem to be a straight asnwer anywhere and hence I am trying to get the attention of the users here...
I have a pioneer navigation system with a bluetooth built-in. My previous phone (blackberry) and my wife's treo650 both stay connected with car's bluetooth when on call (never a disconnect). But my new 8525 gets disconnected mid-call (usually after 2 to 5mins, but have also seen a disconnect within 1min). That is, it does pair with the car kit and when there is no call going on, the bluetooth connection never dies. This disconnect only happens mid-call, almost all the times.
I have the latest ROM (1,34.502...., radio: 1.16), got the phone about 2 weeks ago from Amazon.com. Called cingular and they say could be faulty phone and I have searched other forums like audi message board where their car kits are also having the same disconnect problem with 8525, so I doubt this is a single phone issue.
I have taken the 'band' hack and forced the phone to be in either GSM or WCDMA mode and in either modes, the phone still exhibits the same problem (there might not be any connection between the two at all, bluetooth with GSM/WCDMA, but thought there might be some weird connection...but not the case thankfully).
I read somewhere about some bluetooth tweaks on 8125, but never found what those were. I need some help here otherwise I am going to return the 8525 and stay away from it. I need the bluetooth to work efficiently.
thanks for all your help

please help
I really need some help, clue or direction on solving or at least isolating this bluetooth issue. I love the 8525 but if I cannot fix this bluetooth mid-call disconnect issue, I will unfortunately have to return, which I don't want.
What headsets the 8525 works fine with (no drops mid-call)? May be that is a starting point.
Please also give me some links to 8125 tweaks that some talked about? pof/other moderators/anyone?
thanks a lot in advance!!

I have an Motorola H700, and every once in a while it will disconnect, looking at the phone after that, BT is turned off, turn it back on and it works again...
There are problems with the hardware and the API used to access it, good phone, but I don't think it was ready for the market yet when they released it. It is likely to be corrected in the next ROM release, last I heard from Cingular is mid 2007, but by the way things go, prolly around late 07/early 08.
I'm having similar issues with the BT headset I use, which is a Samsung WEP150. It'll drop midcall to the handset. I'll look and BT is turned off.
The only remote correllation I've found is that it seems to occur when I've received a new email or something a la ActiveStink.. And I haven't really been able to confirm that... But I have definitely noticed it happening then though.
my 8525 does this as well with my factory BT in my 05 Acura TL. Kind of frustrating, have not been able to figure it out yet.
Problems w/ Audi BT as well
Same issues with my Audi Q7 BT. I have seen posts in this and other forums blaming the MS bluetooth stack.
My 8525 worked flawlessly with my Garmin NUVI 660, never disconnected or failed to connect automatically. This is frustrating.
8525 Fix
I had the same problem with the 8525 and my Pioneer Avic-Z1 bluetooth kit.
I hacked the registry to force the bluetooth radio to stay ON, rather than going into sleep mode. This seems to have fixed the problem (although with limited testing at this point).
My calls would consistently disconnect with 2-4 minutes. After the hack, I've had 2 45-minute+ conversations with no trouble.
Here's the fix... install a registry editor (like PHMedit), and add a DWORD here:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Suspend
Add a DWORD called btl1: (note the colon, the colon must be there), with a DWORD value of 2.
Good luck!
My Q7 as well i took the advice of wolfgram and did this to my phone i will let you know how it works it would be a shame to give up this phone but it is really useless if this feature does not work right.
Well this is what i did i did what wolfgram said and it still cut out but not as much so i took the checks off in the advance power mode and never let the phone go to sleep and it works all the time. HTC needs to upgrade thier bluetooth setting not to go to sleep. It must stay active at all times MY phone book and all other info posted into my Q7 with no issues at all and it even sees the bluetooth b4 the MMI system in the car Boots up..

Resolution I think
I turned off 'Making device discoverable to other devices' and it seems to have solved this problem, I am using the phone with a parrot kit and it kept disconnecting now it works all the time.
Treo 750 doesn't have this problem
Well, hopefully you owners of Hermes have figured out the fix. I had to return it and now got the Treo 750 and can gladly say the problem is not there. The treo 750 has the v1.2, but I guess following the replies here, that possibly Palm fixed the problem by keeping the BT radio on at all times.
In any case, here is the post I wrote in avic411.com forum - if you want to see any follow up responses by other owners..

Bluetooth cut out
I am having the problem too with the garmin Nuvi and the Tytn - which is ineresting seeing as how one poster had no problem with the Garmin device. Here is something else that is interesting - I did not have the problem when I had the HTC 1.18 Rom installed. After I flashed the HTC 1.35 Rom, the problem began. I have already tried upgrading my firmware on the Nuvi - that did not help. I also use a Nokia 800 bluetooth headset - and that never cuts out with either ROM. I will try turning off the bluetooth discovery first. If that does not work, will try editing the registry. Keep you posted.
Turning off bluetooth discovery did not work.
Turning Off Bluetooth Did Not Work For Me Either

Hey guys, has anybody found a solution for the auto turning off of the BT in suspend mode? its gettin really annoying
Just tried a few latest windows 6.1 roms and found out that my bluetooth headset (I tried a few) is not asking for passcode anymore (it used to ask to enter "0000"). On one hand - it's a cool feature saving you time and efforts to pair your devices. On the other hand- it's quite dangerous. Just imagine somebody near you (while you're having lunch) is playing with bluetooth on the laptop and connects to your phone without you knowing it. Potentially, he can download all your info from the phone. No good!
I was thinking that it maybe something wrong with my bluetooth or the ROM on the phone. But after I did a quick search here, it appears that Windows 6.1 has this neat feature of "automatic cycling of the standard passcodes" during pairing process. Is there any fix to this security breach? Or maybe I'm not getting it quite right?
well i still havent paired my headset with my pdacorner v23 NonRBSN rom but if you go to comm manager, hit settings, the click on bluetooth. On the tab Security there should be a box that says authentication passkey required. i dont know if thats bluetooth or infrared....but im sure its bluetooth.
Hope that works.
With all the wm 6.1's I've used it appears to only work with BT headsets... GPS and other BT devices need a key....
Cheers...
If that's so - it's good. I'll experiment with bluetooth dongle on my PC.
I have 2 TP2 both with Vodafone UK WM6.5 stock ROMs.
Have just tried to send pictures between them but get the message "Device does not support a suitable service to perform this operation"
I can send to an old sony but when i paired the TP2s it didnt give me the option to transfer filec for some reason?
Any one know if there is a solution or if this is something i will not be able to get round?
I'm also having all sorts of crap with bluetooth from connecting and not connecting to having to disable and enable all the time to get it to work again.
Havnt got it to work at all, never had a problem with WM6.5. strange they see each other but wont send and recieve
I have a bluetooth function in my Volvo. Worked as a charm with the O2 Live of my wife and my HTC TP.
Since I have the TP2, I can't get it to work. Tried to pair them from both sides and everything seems to work, until I want to call or get a call...
On dashboard screen I can scroll my contacts, but when it comes to call, I see the calling and connecting, but NO sound!!!
Quite frustrating, as I drive alot around.
Had this with the WM6.1 and hoped this would be resolved with the 6.5 (changing back to the original MS BT stack), but no...
Anybody fresh ideas or work-arounds?
Just spoke to HTC, they are unaware of any problems but he is going to get a couple of phones to try them out then get back to me so hopfully there will be a solution soon?
I am having a similar problem with the ATT Tilt2 version and my 2005 TL. Everything connects just fine, but if I try to make a call it just disconnects. If I delete and re-pair the phone it will work until I leave the car. Sometimes rebooting the phone also makes it work. I seem to remember an issue with my Kaiser early on and HTC put our a BT update. I have also reported this to HTC via the web form but haven't heard back yet.
Same here, was able to receive files from an i900 Omnia but wasn't able to send files to this i900 Omnia! Really strange!
Havnt heard back yet but have also just noticed other devices can not find TP2 even though i can find them.
Have made sure my device is visible and all bluetooth is on, trouble is i dont know anyone else with this phone to compare but as i have 2 bought months apart and they act the same im asuming its a fault with software and hoping theres a fix?
My problem is a little different, if I try to use activesync through bluetooth, my headset disconnects, which is pretty stupid.
I really wonder why the hell did they change the bluetooth stack from microsoft, giving us a fancy bluetooth manager interface but crappy performance / less features.
Any ideas or fixes? Cant seem to find any
I found the issue with mine... for whatever reason the BT while showing connected will not place a call while the phone is locked. I always lock my phone so I don't make calls and create bogus contacts in my pockets. I had Wn6.5 on my 2 yr old Tilt (TyTn II) and this wasn't an issue, nor was it with 6.0 and 6.1...
Anyone experienced this or know how to disable?
igo keyboard and mouse
tilt 2 bluetooth conectivity would allow igo keyboard and mouse connect to it software, cant get them to work.
any sugestions
It's not a good sign that Jet Blue doesn't work with the TP2 bluetooth stack.
any one off u have have tomtom installed if u do that can be the prob i have a tilt2 and with tomtom installed i coulnt use bluetooth take a look at a fix i made just incase that is ur problem

Dear Group, having aquired a standalone GPS unit i decided to resurrect my HTC Wizard.
I upgraded it successfully to the WM6.1 (Manilla UI) (forgive me if the details are a bit thin, i'm new to this)
Anyways, the Wizard works perfectly, much faster than before.
But there is one odd issue, I can bluetooth music and files to any mobile phone that i choose, and visa versa, but i cannot connect to the GPS unit.
I even tried borrowing a GPS unit from a chum, but to no avail. The wizard can see the unit, i enter the password, and the bluetooth light shows for a few seconds, then i goes out again, it's very frustrating.
Can some kind soul shed any light on this please?
Many thanks
Maybe a different ROM might be the answer, what do you think chaps?
Nope, thats not it. I tried a different ROM but the effect is still the same, the GPS bluetooth light shows for a few seconds then goes out again.
It's realy frustrating as i know that it worked before i changed the ROM. I'm sure somebody must know the answer.
Maybe as I've changed the ROM it's also changed something with the Bluetooth, i wish i knew more but I've come up blank with the search facility. It's odd that i can pair with my mobile phone but not the GPS.
Hi everyone.
I came cause have a problem with bluetooth connection between my HD2 and MEX-BT2700. Both units don't see each other. The phone is discoverable for other phones and it works for other side, but i don't see my radio.
In radio of course i turned BT and see BT icon on right side of display. Cell phone is working with WM6.5
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Best Regards
Krezusik
I will bump this topic cause since the first time, i didn't find a solution for my HD2 with Windows Mobile.
I will check this with present Android system.
