Bluetooth not working right with Pioneer and Android

I've been using Androind on my HTD for +/- the past month or so, and have yet to have stable bluetooth operation through my Pioneer AVH-3200BT which is enabled for BT phone calls (NOT A2DP). I've been through several builds, and currently am using shu8i's latest shubCRAFT 1.4d (23.08.2010 build). I'm got HPSL3 and Radio 2.12.
I get a lot of forced close app errors with trying to establish BT connection. Sometimes I get further, like the Pioneer can usually pick up my contact list after a few tries... But the worst happens when I try to make a phone call. The system hangs, the sound goes dead, the Pioneer cancels the call, and the HTC HD2 usually crashes back to the home screen. From then, I usually dont have any sound for anything until I reboot the HD2.
In WM6.5 Bluetooth works fine with the Pioneer.
Can anyone help me out with this? I'd be willing to pull some logs / demos / or get more vital information if I knew where to look. I'll be the geinea pig!
Thanks in advance

I'll add plantronics voyager 815 to list. maybe a list of working headsets might help if anyone has one.

my Jabra T3030 doesn't work either. It works great with A2DP and it even rings when i get a call. but it hangs the device if i try to answer and there's no audio in calls.
I tried every build possible

I cannot get my Bluetooth wireless headset to work also ,it works on phone calls but on media ,no sound is transferred ,Ian using Mattc 1.6b with sonyericsson headset ,that works more than perfect on windows

I got similar problem with my Motorola Headset too, it just keep hanging with the dialer, without bluetooth one, the dialer works flawlessly. Mine is Shubcraft

I think I figured it out... I set the pioneer to accept connections with pin 1234 instead of 0000 and it seems to be working alright now.

I'm also having troubles with my Sony Ericsson MW600. I did get it going with I think ShubCraft 1.4b but now on 1.5 it won't have it...
It pairs fine, works fine with Media - AVRCP controls working, etc.
But the phone app just doesn't like it. I've tried to switch BT on and off whilst in call and most of the time get a force close on the phone app.
My libbluetooth.so files are dated 04/08/2010. Does anyone have later dated .so files I can try? Or earlier ones for that matter!?
Thanks all.

I've tried changing the libbluetooth, libbluetoothd and libbluedroid files time and again with Shubi's build and nothing works.
I had some success today though. I'm currently using Shubi's build but with the michyprima r10 kernel.
I was trying a different kernel earlier - the huanyu OC kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777921
This got my BT headset working for calls and A2CP/AVRCP...
PLEASE NOTE: This kernel is in beta still, read the thread!
Unfortunately, it proved to be a little unstable for me, so I've had to go back to michyprima's kernel.
But it does seem that the problem lies in the kernel, rather than the bluetooth libraries.

A reboot is required after overwriting libbluetooth.so file
With some old android distributions I cant turno on the bluetooth radio, but it was a kernel matter. Maybe updating the kernel solves the problem.
Now I use FroyoStonev2 with this [kernel][.32.9](BFS+BFQ+AXI+OC+UV) build on 09.09.2010(version 0.2)
But every time that reboot the hd2 need to pair with the freehands.
Every time that reconnect it needs to reenter the code.

[SOLVED] Unstable Bluetooth connection with handsfree device

I'm tryin to use my phone in my car using the build-in handsfree device (BMW 3-series). Sometimes it works but most times the car looses the pairing after a few minutes. After that the connection is only possible when I switch bt off and on again. But then again a pairing is not possible. I already used the phone with Android successfully in the car but only once or twice.
I used several sense-builds with a variety of different kernels such as mdjs and hastarin. I also changed the connection value in the bluetooth main.conf from 7 to 15 but without any success.
What can cause a problem like this where a connection is possible only for minutes but is working sometimes like expected?
Has anyone a similar problem with a Bluetooth headset?
Thanks for your help.
======================== SOLUTION ========================
Finally I found out, that it has nothing to do with radio ROMS, nothing with the WiMo-ROM nor with the Android itself. The failure lies in the sync between android and Outlook. One of my contacts included more then 80 telephonenumbers (3 particular numbers many times) what crashed the pairing between my car and the phone. I just deleted the contact and re-added it manually. Further I stopped the sync with Outlook and now only sync appointments of the calendar...

Really no help for me...

I've got the Fiat Blue & Me system in by Abarth, it has similar problems to the one you're having in the BM, if I'm right in thinking that the Bluetooth stack is part of the radio ROM then trying a few different radio versions should help. I've found one that's fairly stable but still unpairs itself occationally. it's Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 running on mdee jay Evo Sense Evolution with hastarin's 8.1 kernel.

Updating the radio ROM didn't help. I could make one single call but after that it began losing pairing again. That's so sad because everything else is working pretty good so far.

I own a BMW 320d E90 and i have no problem with BT pairing.
I use the Androide 1.5 build done by Crazy_Cbr in htcmania.com (a spanish forum), with Radio 2.15 and Official Kernel #127.
Maybe your BT device needs a firmware update if your Serie 3 model is old. I have heard that you can update it in your BMW dealer, but not sure as far as i haven't needed to do it.
Greetings! (and sorry for my english)

Thank you... I have a 2010th E92 so I think the firmware is no problem. Furthermore the Version 1.5 is pretty old. I had this one with my G1 phone and was not very pleased. I also need Sense which is - afaik - not available for 1.5. Why do you not use a 2.x version?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

This build is based in 2.2 but his name is "Androide 1.5", the point is that is a Senseless one...
Anyway i guess the problem is not in the build. Does BT work fine with WM?

Yes it worked pretty well with WM what brings me to the point isolating the problem on the hacked Android builds. Perhaps it'll work in the future.
@Nandeh: Which ROM Version do you use for your HD2 device (Radio ROM, WM-ROM and HSPL)???
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I found out that the bluetooth pairing is stable as long as I don't have any phone numbers saved in my phone. Any ideas?

Any updates on this?
I have a 2005 1-series. First I was running WM 6.5 on my HD2 and never had problems connecting to the handsfree built in to the car. Then I installed tytungs NexusHD 2.9 NAND ROM (Android 2.3.5). After this, I can pair with the car, but the connection keeps dropping out and then reconnecting with some random intervals between maybe 3 seconds and half a minute.
I have tried to edit audio.conf and audio_pairing.conf, and also an earlier version of audio.so with no luck.
I really don't want to get a different ROM, as I really like the one from tytung.

[Q] Bluetooth car connection

Problem : car :
Peugeot 407 (2008)
device : Nexus One (Rodrig. latest)
I always had troubles getting my device paired with my car, but mostly after a while or installing "bluetooth file transfer" it worked.
However not anymore. Does anybody has an idea what the problem could be? Are more people experiencing this. The devices see each other but they can't connect/pair to each other.
I also tried the app. "bluetooth fix" but it gives an error. Even after reinstalling the "Super User" app from the market.

(sorry I wanted to replace it to Q & A)

linking and transfer of phonebook is good, but quality is very bad. It is difficult to hear the other side, most of the time I have to take it from handfree and talk into the phone directly...
using cm 6.1 rc1

Had that too. Use a kernel without audio-mod.

It works but not really at the same time ..
I can receive calls but I didn't manage to get my phonebook on the car or make a call from the car, I have to dial through the phone.. Not sure actually if its possible or not with my car anyway...
Phone: Nexus One - CM6 nightly 263, with radio 5.12 and Wildmonks 112210 kernel
Car: VW GTI 2010 - RNS510

Does anyone also have a problem with using his bluetooth?
My phone sees my car's bluetooth but can't connect.
It always gets rejected!
It used to work on early Rom releases.
I am searching the net and this forum but I don't see any solutions.
There is an app on the market to fix bluetooth but it didn't work

Problem car: 2010 Audi S4
Phone: Nexus One (ATT) 2.2.2 (unrooted) Radio 5.08
Phone pairs. Cannot answer calls through the car controls. Must answer physically on phone in order to answer call. If picked up by car controls, the car says connected but no audio.
The system used to work perfectly before while on eclair 2.1. I think Froyo screwed something up for me.

I'm also on CM with audoio issues. which kernel did you use, and is it affecting other areas of your phone pos/neg? i.e. do you recommend the switch?

The latest from wildmonks without Audio Boosts are :
http://wildmonks.whoisthedrizzle.com/kernel/2.6.35/010411/No_Audio_Boost_CM6/
These are good.
However I can't even connect anymore (had the no audio boost too when in the time it could connect)

I also have an A4 with nexus one on CM 6.1 (still with audio boost) and it works perfectly (except for the sound quality). So might be a specific issue on your phone side, or maybe the new audi SW (mine is from 2008). have you looked at this thread?

[Q] EVO 4G + Ford SYNC/MyTouch: Poor Bluetooth

Hey All,
I have been scouring the web in hopes of answers and can find none. Evidently I'm not the only EVO owner in this boat either. I own a 2011 Ford Explorer with Sync & MyFord Touch (Fully updated). I pair the phone to the car it makes the connection fine. Begins the setup and sometimes will even connect and be recognized for a bit. But then the phone drops the bluetooth headset part of the connection. It appears (but I can't confirm) that Bluetooth streaming audio is still connected. There was a blissful 3 day window where it all just worked. Then it went to hell...... I saw one post where it said to switch the Bluetooth name back to "PC36100" and that didn't help. I saw another that said use a 4 digit pairing code and that didn't help either.
Its worth noting that I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 rls5 with the stock & fully updated HTC kernel. So here's what I'm hoping to figure out:
*Have you had this issue with ANY car?
*Have you had this issue with Ford SYNC/MyFord Touch
*Aside from unpairing & repairing were you able to get around it?
*Is there a Kernel with a better bluetooth stack I should try?
Thanks for any help, many thanks will be given!

Unfortunately, the HTC bluetooth is totally worthless. I have a 2010 Ford Focus with Sync and it would connect and sometimes work for awhile, but people on the other line always complained of poor quality. And it wouldn't even connect all the time either. Lots of deleting and readding the phone.
Couple weeks ago I switch to CM7. Since CM has a bluetooth stack they built themselves and actually implemented correctly, I haven't had any problems pairing my phone. I can make calls, stream music, gps, etc and it is all fine. Always connects too. What is nice also is the audio will automatically stop if Google Navigation is giving directions or if someone calls. When I shut my car off and open the door, the audio stops and when I get back in it automatically starts again where it left off.
Basically if you want to use your Evo with a Ford Sync system, you'll need to run a version of CM.

Arg. I'm still waiting on my Explorer
On my 08 Explorer with Sync and Myn's RLS4, all is good. I turn BT off and make sure it is on before I turn the key. I stream audio constantly, and talk a bit. I literally just got around to putting on RLS5 today, haven't driven yet.
I partially agree with teamgreen02. It's HTC, not Ford. Does texting work with CM7? That would push me over the edge (or Explorer, pun intended)

It seems that there are a bunch of phones that have issues maintaining connectivity with the latest Sync system. I had to re-pair a BlackBerry to an '11 Explorer this afternoon. There is a backwards pairing procedure that may help rectify your issue. If you try searching for your phone from the vehicle instead of searching for sync from your phone, it has, in my experience, minimised connection drops, especially on the latest versions of Sync...
Btw, I am like the only tech at my dealership who really understands how to even pair phones to Sync, let alone diagnose the concerns our customers have described. There is also a system compatibility chart that we reference to determine if a particular device has been tested and verified to work with certain features of Sync. Last I checked (the October 2010 update) the Evo still wasn't certified compatible/tested...

Does anyone have any updates on this? My wife's Sync is working fine with her Evo but the sound quality sucks when she calls. Her phone isn't rooted.
I did update the Sync software from v1 to 1.1 (She has a 2008 Ford Edge Limited) but need to do further updates to the system since there are updates available.

Here is my experience/.02.
My wife drives a 2011 Ford Edge with sync....she has a stock Evo4g. When she bought the car 2 months ago, bluetooth seemed to work fine...now she is having the exact same issues everyone else is having. The bluetooth connects/disconnects and just plain doesn't work. I attempted to fix it and.....no. If i unpair from both the car/phone then retry to connect them, it connects for a second and when it tries to send the phonebook from the phone to the car, the connection dies. The phone still displays that bluetooth audio (not phone) is connected.
I then tried my Evo 4g (CM7) on her car...no problems whatsoever. Sync'd and connected fine...phonebook transferred over in about 5 seconds and everything worked great.
To note, my Evo 4g also works perfectly on my 2011 Infiniti G37...
So I think my example further proves that HTC's bluetooth software is likely the causative agent and is likely junk....root or die i guess =p
hope this helps someone

I rooted and installed MIUI and dont have any problems yet with sync.
Although,
I was looking looking to pull the bluetooth stack of the droid X which has the MAP bluetooth profile, that will allow ford sync to read and write text messages for you.
any ideas on how to do this? Or where to find in in the droid X?

2010 Ford Focus here, works fine for me. Using Fresh 3.5.1.

The bluetooth stack should all be dependent on what kernel you are using on your rom, so if you already have it rooted, try to change kernels and see how it improves...
as far as the MAP profile, i found this thread in the Q&A section, and it also recommends pulling the MAP profile (for text messessaging) from the motorola droid kernels.
I wish i knew how to do this.
I was hoping for someone to be able to do this for us
EDIT: I also found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741332
its trying to get the MAP profile into the nexus one...
they found the new bluez stack had the MAP profile included:

No, the text messaging does not work for the unrooted Evo and it doesn't work for a rooted Evo under Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RL5.

I Just had a 2011 Explorer limited for the past week as a rental and it worked fine for me (music & calls). I know this does not help much hope you get it going.

i had my EVO running fresh 3.5 and worked great in my Escape, i just switched to twopointtwo ROM and now here i am looking for a solution, not sure if its the rom or the kernel since i switched both..

got it working for a day but its disconnected again, im going to explain what i did hoping someone with more knowledge can help us SYNC users to connect bluetooth
used fresh EVO 3.5 for a while and worked great, then i got bored and changed rom to myn's warm 2.2 with the kernel included and bluetooth started disconnecting after 30 seconds or so...
i tried
ms79723's SBC for Netarchy's CFS More Aggressive 4.1.9.1 Kernel (v7)
Ziggy471 Warm TwoPointTwo RLS4 Kernel
they didnt work either... so heres the funny thing..
i wiped and reflashed a fresh version of the same rom (Myn´s warm 2.2), this time i didnt restore anything, no apps, no contacts, anything, left it clean.. then i paired it up and voila.. it worked for a long time in my ESCAPE, so i thought it was working and restored all my apps and data.. and to my frustration... its disconnecting again.
so does this have to do with the kernel or with some apps or what.

has anyone figured out how to get sync working with blue tooth messaging.

2010 Ford Focus. Bluetooth sucked with stock ROM and warm, dropped connection all the time. Works great with CM7. Definitely an issue on the phone side and not the car in my case.
I am also wondering if we can somehow get the text messaging working. I don't think its officially supported on any Sprint phones.

2010 Moutaineer here - never had a problem with Bluetooth on rooted stock EVO ROM.
Listen to music all the time - even the "call-transfer" functionality works fine when I enter the vehicle while talking on the phone.
Only thing is - I wish the damned thing would auto-synch for media-audio on Aux1 instead of me having to select the source all the time - anyone know how to do this?

2010 Lincoln with mytouch/sync and rooted with stock rom. No problems at all. Sometimes it gets a little static sound but I just turn my Bluetooth off then back on.

Music over Bluetooth

Anyone managed to get music from the desire hd working over an Audi bluetooth car kit? I've tried BT Mono but that doesn't work, I think its something to do with A2DP and audi not supporting that???

I think it has something to do with Audi because I have no issues running music through bluetooth in my car. When you connect your bluetooth to the car audio, does it says headset and music connected?

No, when I turn Bluetooth on the logo at the top changes slightly just to let me know its connected and I can access phone book etc. But the radio.still plays, the second a phone call comes through the radio drops and the phone rings. When Finished with call the radio starts again. If I play music nothing happens don't hear any sound and it doesn't stop the radio.
I read that Audi doesn't support music playback without an update and adapter although they don't seem to sell them.
Btw my setup is just the Audi a4 sline 2010 default, Bluetooth built in and built in radio etc.

Ok.. Usually when I connect to bluetooth, first it will say connect to phone and then connect to media.. there's one thing that I forgot to tell is that I have to go to Bluetooth in the Main menu than I am able to hear the songs from the phone. Without going to my Bluetooth Selection from the Menu I am not able to hear any songs.. Hope this helps..

But what version of mmi and where in the world are you? Different countries get different default options installed! Also depends on what modules are enabled inside the computer. Some of these settings can be changed by accessing a hidden menu from your console others might need to be changed using the Ross-tech cable I mentioned earlier. If you need more help on version info etc do a search on the A5oc forums.

Which rom is your dev? BT is broken in some rom. you can flash the right rom.

I'm in the UK, the rom I use is cm7.0.2 so the latest one. I'd be interested in finding a Bluetooth menu or hidden menu on the computer??
Ill have a look later for the version info as I don't know.

Fair enough, the hidden menu depends on version of mmi either the 2g or 3g but you press both car and setup together for 5 seconds. WARNING do not enter the bootloader menu. And there are heaps of how-to's available online. Many things are customizable. Lighting behaviour through to enabling of tv on the go if you have that option. Auto folding mirrors, different dash menu options, how many wipes the wipes do etc, list is not quite endless but almost, needless to say I've done most and can provide links etc if you are interested. Pm me.

Oh... If I am not mistaken Cyanogen do have issues with Music over Bluetooth. I have the same issue.. Have you tried with other Roms?

Yes I have, it doesn't even try to be honest... only time the connection from phone to car is made is when a call comes in.
