Keep bluetooth alive - Hero, G2 Touch General

I've just got a brand new hero. Although everything works fine the bluetooth support is lousy. Ie, I want to keep the device always discoverable (like on other WM based HTC's) but I can't seem to get that. It is only discoverable for a few secs Is there a way to change this? Cheers

Using a Qtek 9090 with a original BMW bluetooth carkit

I bought my qtek last week and trying ever since to get it connected with my carkit..
Sometimes this works and I can hear and talk through my carkit. Other times it only rings through my carkit and when i pick it up it disconnectw with the carkit and goes back to the qtek. Or it doesn't connect at all.
I've tried several things..
-first I wanted to try the new bluetooth patches.. this works a little better for example without switching on the qtek and turning the key, they automatically connect. Not all times but ik works a little better.
-trying to put a new ROM version on my qtek, got a country id error.. Got rid of it using the xda3nfbtool.. then got a radio image file checksum error.. Don't know how to bypass this because it has to do with the passwords in the xda3nfbtool.exe..
So now I'm here, hoping that some wizzkids know how to get a permanently good bt connection...
Who dares??? Or has suggestions??
Thanks in advance,
Sorry my english isn't my main language
BMW BT with Blue Angel
Same problem here. Have tried all available patches. the 3500 BT version works with the least amount of trouble. But even with this one I never know how long it will take to get it working and wether I will hit a tree in the meantime.
A Friend of mine uses the Motorola Carkit with no problem. I think the BMW System is too complicated with i5s address-book synch to work. By the way, how many adresses do you havein your qtek?
Hi,
I do have at least a very similar problerm with my Audi BT. I can connect, it works just fine when I make a call, BUT it looses connection after picking up an incoming call...
I tried all stacks I could get my hands on from 1900 thru 2400 till 3500 and even 6600...
Anyone with an idea!?
TIA
PEACE AND B WILD!

Don't know how many adresses, about 150... But at this time I have none in the PDA, just to test if the BT connection will work... But it has to do with the connection and not the adress book... I just found out that different models of BMW could have different model of BT carkits. And BMW uses a siemens carkit according to a mechanic from BMW.
I hope someone has the brains to pull this of.. Because how is it possible to get a only sometimes connection. This means that it could work, or is that just my postive attitude.
bmw car kits
by wot i understand bmw are about 100000 years behind with there software on the car kits 6600 t610 v600 etc all work but your new one dropn in and out all the time
Blue Angel and BMW Bluetooth Blues
at Denis123: thanks. I have 4000 adresses on the PDA and thought the problems come because the BMW tries to download them ... if you have the same problems with 150 adresses, then the adresses are not the cause. At the moment with the BT 3500 (+ this small fix on the download section) the paring works and connecting the MDA when I get into the car works mostly. What drives me nuts is that it doesn't work ALWAYS. Sometimes i have to tinker for 15 Minutes while driving until it works. But once the connection worked, it functions very reliably ... until the next time I get into the car.
So the best I can recommend: Latest ROM version plus BT 3500 + this funky extra fix which I don't know what it's good for.

Can you tell which type of BMW you drive?? And if it's not to much trouble then mention the ROM, Radio version etc you have on your PDA... That is what I (and maybe others) would like to know.
Thanks in advance..
You say that sometimes it takes up to 15 min to get a connection! Maybe this could be due to the phonebook.. I don't no for certain, but if you're BMW tries to take over the adress book of your PDA that could take a while with 4000 entries.. What you could try is, if you're synchronising with your computer leave out the adresses in active sync. So that there are no adresses in your PDA. Then try to pair with the BMW and see what it does... Maybe then it works faster... I'm curious if you get a good connection between the PDA and the Beemer.... Please let me know.

Have just installed:
ROM version 1.22.00. WWE
Radio version 1.06.02
ExtROM version 1.22.557 WWE
Tried it AGAIN in my BMW...
First time connection --> connection failed, BT BMW says erfolgreich (succeeded)
Switch contact on/off --> everything works I can phone, and incoming calls also work.. That's how it's suppose to be
Switch contact on/off --> There is a pairing, but as soon as I get an incoming call the phone goes off in the car, but when I answer afther a few seconds the connection is gone.
Switch bluetooth on/off on PDA --> It works again??!!?!
So a early conclusion is that the bluetooth has to be totally switched off when the PDA is off.. If phone rings PDA switches on and connects to carkit.. Does anbody know if this is possible, then I will try it out???
Thanks
I think I have found a solution. I'm not sure but so far this works..
Now I need someone to help with the following...
The bluetooth on the PDA must be switched of when you turn the ignition.
Then when you have your car running you switch on the bleutooth on the PDA... They pair and connect... I've tried it several times and it works...
Now when you switch of your car and turn it back on again the pairing will work but there is no connection. So in my case the phone rings in the car but when i pick it up it switches back to the PDA..
Conclusion; Only when the PDA is switched on the Bleutooth is allowed to switch on... So when you're being phoned, first the PDA goes on and a few seconds later the carkit is active and you're able to pick up through the steering wheel..
SO THIS IS IMPORTANT..
Is someone capable to make a prog. or to delete something in the original bluetooth prog. in PDA that the bleutooth function isn't always ON, only when you put on your PDA...
I really hope someone can help??!?!?!?!
Thanks

What is the "this small fix on the download section)" Can't find what you mean?
@tbd: forget the fix. It was an older version that I mistakenly downloaded ->my mistake
@dennis123
In the meantime I use:
Ext. Rom 1.22.01 GER
ROM-Datum 10/26/04
Radio-Version 1.06.02
Protokoll Version 1337.38
ExtROM 1.22.182
Bluetooth 1.0.0.3500
Yesterday morning I went to my car with BT OFF, turned the car on, turned BT on and it worked flawlessly.
Yesterday evening I went to the car with BT ON, turned the car on, and the BT paired, but during the first call it dropped the connection.
Same today. => I have at least one reproducable way to get the darn thing working. I can't say that satisfies me, but i will stop wasting time with this ;-)
Has anyone tried this with BT 3900 ?
PS: Somebody asked what kind of BMW: The car is an X5 build in 9/04, with the Bluetooth interface and without navigation.

Danger of Windows Mobile 6.1 automatic bluetooth pairing

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.

Xperia Relase 3 and bluetooth

Xperia is the first SE-Handy im really unhappy with. After installed the latest patch the bluetooth is still not working proper.
First: With an active call on bluetooth, bluetooth connection is shuting down when handy goes in powersave mode. How can a handy goes in powersave mode (turning screen black) when i have an active call.
Second: When a bluetooth headset is active i cant choose anymore to answer the call with or without headset. i have to do it with the headset. When a headset is active the handy doesnt ring, its just rings on the headset.
These are features every handy can manage even the cheapest ones and i expect more from a handy like this and from SE really.
Maybe im doing something wrong then im sorry but im close to through this handy in the basket. This handy is sh.....
same here!!!!
On the wm 6.5 i tried, i read that cleaning up missed call, it would help. And it did. BUt with the latest R3 from SEUS, itis a nightmare.
Woraround for me is to switch off all Bluetooth, then turn off the X1 bluetooth, wait a minute, turn it on, wait a minute then turn on my bluetooth headset again.
It works OK...
XPERIA have the worst Bluetooth i,ve eever seen.
It works right with my car, but disconect when it wants ((IT A PROBLEMA FROM SE SYS).
R2A no repair this IMPORTANT BUG.
R3A no repair this IMPORTANT BUG.
i was hoping R3 would solve this, I have your issue as well as this one:
My issue is that my tomtom will not fully connect to the X1 not allowing text messaging or wireless data to be recieved by the tomtom,
My W960i worked a treat, if i got a text the tomtom would read it out and i could text back using the remote or by touching the tomtom screen, also i had wireless data that allowed me to recieve traffic, weather, map and POI updates on the move.
With my X1 i only get calls and thats it. My tomtom says "your phone does not have the supported features". How can a walkman phone have more bluetooth features than a win mobile?
I contacted them but they dont care. This is the worst thing for me I need this function!!!
0 bluethoot issues. Using custon R3A. the whole day turned on
Bluetooth is a piece of crap standard - it's one of the worst standards EVER that made it into consumer electronic devices.
I wish BT would DIE FOREVER.
Xperia Bluetooth is sooo worse

HD Touch + 6.5 + in-car advice please

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
jc0r
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.

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
