1.66 Bluetooth Range Rover problem - HD2 General

I upgraded my Vodafone HD2 to Rom 1.66 this week and have noticed many improvements, however the phone is now not operating correctly with my Range Rover.
When I select a number to dial from the phone book the radio is not cut off when dialling. The phone shows dialling then connected but neither party can hear each other when the call is connected.
My phone and the car both worked Ok on the Vodafone stock ROM. I have also connected it to a BMW idrive and as previously 1.66 still works for this.

I have now had a response from HTC re this issue. It looks like this is a 1.66 issue that was working on the Vodafone 1.43 ROM. I now cannot make or receive calls in the car!
New Response From [ Richard (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Dear customer,
HTC knows about this issue, and we are working to build the hot fix to the bluetooth connection with the car kit. At the moment, HTC does not have any informatiuon when this will be available to download from HTC web site. We recommend to the customers to keep monitoring the web site for future updates.

I think I will wait for a solution rather than going back. 1.66 allows me to compile text messages and emails in under 5 minutes and makes the phone finally usable!

if you find a solution please post it here, because i am desperatly looking for an answer

I am mystified! I drove the Range Rover today for the first time in a month and the phone rang. Call was OK and afterwards made other calls.
Other than delete the call register I can think of nothing else I have changed or done on the HD2 to make this work.

Similar kind of Bluetooth issues on Ford In-Car bluetooth
I have a similar issue with my phone not disconnecting from a call.. (ok not similar but a bluetooth issue nonetheless) with Ford Covers+
seems to be hit or miss whether it disconnects.. i have to literally soft reset the phone and sometimes soft reset my car to get it working again!!
would be interesting when HTC send this FIX out..

well my phone is a Toshiba TG01 so it might not be HTC issue, but WM 6.5

I think I am onto something here:
if the BT is switched on after I start the car, everything works perfect!
the only inconvinience now is switching BT on/off for each jorney (especially annoying during short trips with short stops - to the local shop, post office etc)

bluetooth car handsfree disconnect issue

ok.. I read a couple of threads regarding this issue but could not find any solutions. one guy said that ak3.3 fixed his problems but 3 have a spv m3100 and I don,t know wich update pack should I choose besides cingular wich doesn't have video calling.
Any thoughts?
Doesn't anybody have the same issue and managed to solve it?
I had the same issue when I upgraded to WM6, I fixed it by installing the GPS radio ROM. This fixed it straight away.
In installed the latest 1.35 ROM and that did not fixed it and even with XDA live that did not work. Where can I find the GPS Rom?

My 8525 was disconnecting from my car constantly after getting the phone a few days ago. My TyTN never had this problem. Even after installing the exact same ROM onto the 8525 that was on my TyTN I still had the same problem.
Basically, after a minute or two of being connected to my car the bluetooth on the phone would turn off. It didn't just disconnect. It turned off completely. This phone did it just like the Treo 750v (very unreliable phone by-the-way) did.
The problem appears to have gone away now that I have installed WM6 on my 8525. I have not done anything special to get it working aside from installing the LSVW WM6 ROM. It is definitely worthwhile to give it a try.
I believe that 1.35 is the "GPS enabled, but not initialized" rom.

I had it fixed by changing the registry values for bluetooth power saving. Upgrading to VM6 and to radio rom 1.35 (gps enabled) bringed back the problem... now I cannot find anymore what registry value I had changed...

Ohhh....please try to find them because I searched high and low and still no solution.
Try this:

Ok I tryed the small fix on that link and did not work at all. I also inslled WM6 LSVW and still nothing. Any other ideas?
Try this: "jetware.hands-free.extension.1.24".
Installing the leaked Cingular ROM fixed the problem for me. Prior to this, it would connect briefly, then disconnect, and would come and go, but mostly would not connect. Now, every once in a while, it disconnects very briefly, but for the most part is solid.
Tryed jetware but still no go. Any other idea? doesn't anyone that has a hermes use a car handsfree bluetooth system? From what I know all devices suffer from this?
Nothing? Hasn't anybody found the solution to this problem? From what I read it happens to almost all hermes devices.
Yes, had the same problem.
Have a SPV M3100 with the Audi A4 Bluetooth (part of Gen II GSM Prep).
My old MDA Vario worked flawlessly.
SPV3100:
1. Pairs and makes / receives calls.
2. After 10-15 Mins calls are not routed through car kit.
3. When making / recieving call after 10-15 Mins, handset thinks its connected to handsfree (headset symbol in phone dial pad) but car does not pickup call hence no handsfree and no sound in handset ear piece!
4. Occasionaly, handset reconnects to car handsfree automatically on an incoming call.
5. Connection of in car charger SEEMS to improve realiablility.
6. Switching Bluetooth off then on on the handset will initiate a new connection that again works for 10-15 Mins.

I get the problem with the new rom also, have been using it for weeks now. The new ROM does NOT resolve the issue, at least with the Acura HFL system.
So it seems that there is currently no fix to this issue.

Well, it did resolve it on my '07 Audi Q7.
I tried to contact HTC and this is what I got
Thank you for your enquiry. An IMEI check of your device indicated that it is a network branded phone.
IMEI:? 357719003647231? Network: Orange Romania SA
Unfortunately we do not offer technical support for network branded handsets, as both software and hardware can be altered by the network provider.

Can anyone with a TyTN contact HTC and ask for a solution?
Thanks temoore,
Looks like I need to get my boss to upgrade my car from A4 to Q7 to get the phone hands free to work.
It just might work.......;-)

Bluetooth still doesn't work properly!

My X1 has a very annoying problem with it's Bluetooth. During a call using Bluetooth handsfree the phone will drop the Bluetooth connection, leaving the call connected so annoyingly the caller can hear me cursing the unreliability of my phone. I then have to finish the conversation holding the phone to my ear without the headset.
I called Sony Ericsson, who told me to update the firmware. I did - to R2AA007 - makes no difference. They then said it was a defective phone, so I got a new one sent to me...
...this one has worked great for a month, but yesterday the battery ran almost flat and whilst on a call using handsfree it started playing up again. Now it does it all the time again, even though the phone has been fully recharged and rebooted.
I have been very careful not to change any settings with this second phone, no installs of anything. This is a Vodafone UK phone if it makes any difference. Any idea how I can get this working again? Even without the handsfree connected I can see the display flash 'Bluetooth on' at random intervals indicating that it keeps dropping. Sony Ericsson say that this is not a firmware issue that needs fixing now - what do you guys think?
there are many posts regarding your problem. one thing is for sure,you are not the only one. look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480698 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471181 here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448703 i have my mbw-150 and my hbh-pv712 connected at all times to my x1 the watch is always connected but my headset disconnects randomly as you mentioned even during a call. there is no problem with your phone it's a software issue.
Thanks for the links. What annoys me is that Sony tell me there is no problem and they won't report the bug to their firmware team because "it's been fixed in R2A". This isn't the case, and it doesn't give me much hope for firmware R3A.
Same problem here
I experienced the same problem. Got my X1 in december 2008. Problems started in mid Januari, about a month of good Bluetooth operations, it started to give problems. During a call the Bluetooth connnection is lost, but the call stays open. Can reconnect Bluetooth again during the call, but after some time (sometimes seconds, sometimes tens of seconds) the connection get lost again.
Was glad when the new firmware arrived in Feb 2009. Download it, and the problem was gone fore about one month. Mid march the problem started again. Downloaded (the same) firmeware version again and the problem was gone again for some time. Last week it reappeared again
My conclusion: the Bluetooth bug wasn't corrected in the latest firmware version. Just reinstallation of a new firmeware version resets the phone and the the problem is gone then for some time.....
Seems that there some kind of an internal timer/counter that corrupts good bluetooth operations. I don't want to reinstall "firmware" every time again because I have to reconfigure my phone then every time, which takes a lot of time.
I hope that Sony finally will correct this most irritation bug!!!!
In the mean time I use a Bluetooth restart programme that "turns on" bluetooth every second. This helps moth of the time.
This works for me
In the Bluetooth-Device-Manager tap and hold the stylus on the headset you want to use until a popup is shown, then select use as headset. This worked for me when i have had some problems with one of my headsets supporting more than the "Handsfree-Profile" .
=> better connection under R1, best connection under R2(using R2 since official release)
Good luck WOODY
Hey Guys,
I think i have the solution for the bluetooth problem. i had my Xperia since 11/2008.
i never had a problem with connection when i used my headset. the problem was with the I-Drive disconnection randomly.
I flashed multiple roms from Itje and Jack with the same problem always.
now for the past 2 weeks i have been using Itje V5.5 with no problems what so ever.
the key is to turn bluetooth off in the comm manager everytime you wanna install new programs. i truly believe that installing software with the bluetooth on disrupt something ???
Hope that helps.

@mdshaded
I hope youre kidding, I've had BT problem (BT turns off) since I got this phone last year.
With Itje's WM6.5 RC1 I still have the same problem.
I am not Kidding, I tried all cooked and original roms. I had a pocket PC phone for the past 3 years: Trinity, Kaiser and now the Xperia.
Again my dropped BT Connection were with my Car BT system, never with my Stereo BT headset.
try to hard reset and then install Itje V5.5 and keep your BT off until you are done installing all your programs then turn it on and report back.
Cheers

I had tried more phones (Eten M600, Asus P525, Kaiser, X1), and did a lot researchs and only HTC's one (Kaiser, X1, Diamond, TP, HD ...etc) gives such issue. Not on my Asus P525 and M600. And I had tried many A2DP devices (Sony: DS-205, DS225, DS970, DS980, Clip-D Radio, Jarba (forget what model), JVC-BT1 (car system)) and only HTC devices give me issue.
And your suggestion of turn off bluetooth while software installation make no sense as installation only perform files coping + registry registration which I don't see any relationship from BT issue.
Dear Jack,
I know it does'nt make any sense. but i had this problem on other devices and was always corrected with a cooked rom except with the Xperia..
there is nothing to lose.. just try it..
my phone had no single dropped connection for 2 weeks now.
All the Best.
what bluetooth issue, ive been using hbh ds-200 since ive got the xperia (used on buses, around the house and alot of places) works great and has a further distance than p1i but only has an issue of button compatability. i think it could be the the bluetooth device ur using or the lack of software. may be wrong completley but hear me out ive had it rnning for ages with music on or durig a phone call cause i cant be bothered to pull out of its case to avoid scratching the phone (i know its stupid) but like i said it is working, for me atleast
same problem ...
I'm experiencing the same problem:
my X1 periodically drops the connection to my BMW iDrive while I'm speaking. But, when I'm not in the car I'm using a plantronics voyager 855 and never had a problem ! So there seems to be a problem with specific bluetooth devices.
Before the X1 I had a touch diamond and it worked without any problems with the same iDrive.
Thomas
Dear Thomas,
i am glad that you mentioned your problem with the I-Drive. I did not have a single drop in BT Connection for 2 weeks now. I truly believe that installing some software impairs the BT connection with my I-Drive.
Again never had any problems with Headsets.
My I-Drive Version I believe was newer than V.25.
Cheers.

Connecting to Audi's MMI

I picked up my Audi A4 last week, and the MMI + telephone connection high works to a limited degree with the Touch HD.
It correctly identifies the Orange network, 3G, varying signal strengths, and can dial out and receive calls, but I don't have access to other functions such as the phone's last dialled calls, missed calls, phonebook/contacts list (biggest problem!), etc.
I'm using the original 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE rom which came with the HD, but has anyone had any success with the MMI by using other roms?
Guess this does not help, but I had the same problem with a brand new mercedes C200 and Dutty's 2.8 firmware...
Cheers
[update]
maybe this thread helps a little: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-456900.html
some say it worked after upgrading to 1.19...
personally I think bluetooth has always been ****ty
Pretty interesting that a version of Duttys made it stop working, at least it shows bluetooth compatibility is affected by different roms. Thanks for the link, it seems the JetWare program might work too, but updating the rom is a last resort for me since I've never done it before. I'll try JetWare first, and if it stops working after a few days, I'll go for the rom update. Thanks again!
You'r welcome! I am on Duttys 3.0 right now but never had a car again with bluetooth so couldn't test
If you never flushed your HD - try! You will be massively excited I swear
Compared to the original firmware the phone was unusable slow and had a ugly user interface... I can really suggest Duttys 3.0! Once you are through the process of flashing it's quiet easy...
Cheers
Heh, maybe I'll go for the regular handset option for my next car, seems like it'd be less of a headache. Anyway I upgraded my HD to 1.19 and there was no change in displaying phonebook contacts, so I decided to flash Dutty's v3.3 and it still doesn't work properly...but I'm liking Dutty's a lot, definitely glad I upgraded to it. Thanks for suggesting it!
I'm back to square one again though, so if anyone else has some advice/experience with getting it to work, I'm all ears
Anyone at all?
Is the Audi new or used? If it is used you might have an older version of the MMI software. Good luck getting Audi to do the upgrade for you. Check out the forums at Audiworld.com.
I have an A6 and have the same problems.
Have you tried Jetware? I used that for awhile but I found I would rather use a headset now.
I use a Touch Pro with my 09 A4 and I have the same problem. Everything works great except when it comes to syncing the phone book. After pairing the phone with the car, a message pops up asking if I'd allow the car to access my contact. I'd answer yes, but then nothing happens.
For some unknown reason, I was able to upload the phonebook once. I don't know what I did differently that time but the phonebook mysteriously showed up in the car memory. However, the next time I started the car the phonebook was gone.
Hi everyone. My HD works fine on my 2006 Audi A8L. After initial pairing with the MMI (default pairing code is "1234") you have to wait a little while and the phone book and recent calls pop up. In the Phone > Setup of the MMI I selected only to use phone memory.
One issue I have is that the 150 contacts I have are somehow displayed in 2 iterations of the alphabet, each showing only a half the contact list.
Also good to know. Pairing with Audi's MMI is only possible the first 5 minutes after you turned the power to the car on, ie. turning the key one notch, or starting the engine, so be sure to have your Touch HDs bluetooth on already.
Audi's Bluetooth phone features are on a phone by phone basis, Audi have a list of all the handsets that they have tested and the features that are available using that phone and the firmware for the phone that it needs to produce those results.
I work for Audi so if there's any questions I'll do my best to answer. (I work in parts)

Bluetooth not working WM6.5

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

Bluetooth BMW and HTC HD2

Hi
I have a BMW X5 and a HTC HD2 with the newest ROM. When I enter the car, HD2 is recognised automatically by the car and I can place phonecalls dialing from my HD2. The only thing that does not work is that BMW tries to upload my phonebook from the phone but it does not get it. BMW says "please wait" - forever.
Before I flashed the ROM, this worked. Anyone has any ideas? I would even pay for someone in Zurich who comes and fixes this. One thing I could do of course is to downgrade my ROM again. But before I do this, I want to explore any other options.
Thanks a lot!
PS: jetwaremobile.com definately does NOT work on HD2
I have exactly the same issue. The HTC HD2 works ok for calls etc but the phone book upload is "please wait" forever. Very annoying. I have the standard up to date ROM and BMW X5 2009 model. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I have a 2008 BMW, and I did experience this the first time..I sat there waiting for a few mins adn then got bored...but after I had turned the car off, been away and come back..it transferred straightaway.
Funnily enough, when I had my iphone (yes..sorry) I had the little image of the phone next to the BT signal on the display. I don't get this straight away with the HD2, but it always eventually appears..and then stays there until I hard reset my phone and do a ROM upgrade and then start the pairing again..where I just get the BT signal...then randomly..a few weeks later, the phone image appears again....very odd
Works fine here with a BMW 5x from 2008.. Using miris 6.5.x ROM

thank you, I am glad it worked for you...you must have a newer generation ULF than me then.
Is your phone HD2? mine is Toshiba TG01..I have managed to make it work 50/50 of the times, but I do not know WHAT CHANGES are between it working and not working...it is very frustating to know (and experience it working) that it can/should work, but not being able to
I have a new HTC Mini HD and have the same problems with my 2009 BMW 3. BT Headset function works just fine, but iDrive keeps trying to sync the telephone book, unsuccesfull. Instead, my phone's battery gets drained. Anyone any sollutions?
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question, but it sounds like it might have something to do with the bluetooth stack used for that ROM/Radio not being recognized by the car. Perhaps the layer that deals with data transfer is removed. Sorry I can't be of more help here.
What I can do to help is to offer a warning. I am a former BMW Client Advisor, and have been told many, many times by service technicians that using phones which are not specifically approved by BMW can affect your car's ECU (brain) and if it needs to be repaired or replaced, it will not be covered under warranty. That could be just nonsense to force you into buying only phones which BMW has tested (or vendors have paid for a marketing fee), or it might be spot on, in which case you run a pretty big risk.
Hope this helps.
OK, problem solved. BMW updated my carsoftware to its newest version last week and now my HD2 works perfectly with my car (again). I can make calls AND my phonebook is synced as well.
Hint1: Try if your phonebook sync problem exists with the SIM contacts as well as with the phone contacts

Hi All,
I have a BMW X5 2005 model. I can pair the phone OK but it constantly disconnects and reconnects once the transfer of the phonebook occurs. The phonebook transfers always start from scratch when this happens and nothing gets loaded to the car's phonebook.
If a call comes in, or if I make a call while it is connected (like within 5 seconds) the phone stays connected for the duration of the call.
I have tried all the Regisrty tweaks and none change the behaviour.
I also read it is because the HD2 uses Widcomm BT stack and not the MS BT Stack.
Zippolly and a_petrov303 and all those that have it working, can you please tell me which Rom you are using? I am using the latest Energy's 6.5.x rom. i noticed someone mentioned Miri's 6.5.x Rom works.
Thanks,
Rob
I have a 07 E60. The HD2 pairs fine, synchs contacts fine, but the sound quality is so bad it's not useable. Of course bmw says it's not a compatible phone, but I think there is a problem with the car as my Diamond won't find it, even though it is supposed to be supported
its mainly due to the car bluetooth, BMW etc don't make the car kit mostly siemens do and they are slow on the uptake of doing updates.
anybody found a snap-in for the hd2 yet?
I have a 7-series F01 and it is really annoying to have to deal with that usb cable...

I had the BT problem too, deleting the profile and repairing the phone did the trick for me...
