Bluetooth Problem with Handsfree Profile in Car

Hey Folks,
I have been reading some posts here about BT and/or BT Mute problems, but my issues seems to be a bit different, plust I didn't have it 1-2 Months ago, so I think it might be ROM/Radio upgrade related ...
Right now I am running udK Diamond R8 which works perfectly fine in general.
I got my phone hooked up via BT to my car BT handsfree (it's a Peugeot 207cc which uses some Parrot BT stuff I think). This used to work perfectly fine when I first started using the polaris in the car. I don't remember when the problem started to appear, but now, when I receive and accept an incoming call, it takes 4-5 seconds, till the polaris switches audio to handsfree, meaning after accepting the call, I can't hear the other party on my car speakers ... but I can hear sound from the regular polaris speaker, very quietly of course.
After those 4-5 seconds, everything is fine and the call is switched to the car handsfree set.
The BT connection to the car set is fine all the time ... no problems connecting or pairing.
Anyone experiencing similiar issues?

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my C4 BT handsfree system (Parrot BT components) for some months ago. I have had a look at a lot of forum, but no answer and no solution.
Some days ago, I flash my HTC Polariswith the original WM6.1 Fre, but no improvement. I still have the same problem, 4/5 seconds before hearing the caller.
(PS : sorry for my poor english )

Same for me, it worked fine before with the original ROM
ROM : 1.25.406.1 FRE dated 12/12/07
Radio : 1.58.21.23
Protocole : 25.65.30.04H
It happened suddenly.
I tryed a lot of modifications in the register, but no improvement.
I hoped to resolv this problem with the new original WM6.1 but no improvement.
Next week, Citroen will change the radio (it stops working many time a day).
I hope this will resolv the problem.

I don't know excatelly the model, but it's the one with Bi-Tuner, BT, MP3 and without Navidrive.
Bemi

Same for me "and without Navidrive"
Probably the RD4

Today, I tried several other mobiles (Samsung, Sony-Ericson, Eten, Alcatel) for my problem of delay with incoming calls.
All of them work properly and, as soon as I receive and accept an incoming call, the sound switches directly to the handsfree of the car.
So, what is the problem with my HTC Cruise ?
Any idea ?
Bemi

i'm having the same problem with a Sony DR-BT20NX headset
It has been working earlier.
But now , on incoming calls , the phone ring and later i ear a little signal in the bluetooth headset.
To accept the call , i've to use phone buttons ) .
The sound comes out the phone .I've to speak in the phone.
Otherwise i can listen music with the BT headset and make outgoing calls.
Rom : M-Amine 2.FRE
Radio : 1.59.42.15
( same problems with PDA viet Rom's V33 à V35 )
I don't remember if i've the problem since i've upgraded to radio 1.59.42.15 , sorry
Never had answers on differents forums ..

BT Joined Stereo
install advance config tool v3.3
go to BT setting
verify that your option is Joined stereo and not mono

I'm using udK Diamond R8. I had a lot of problems with my Parrot ck3100 carkit. It was finally resolved by installing the Murata 1.58.21.23 radio. With the for R8 recommended radio I had bad GSM reception, BT connection failure, random BT mute, Parrot displaying the call would continue when I in fact hang up etc.

Hi,
No change with Advanced Config Tools V3.3
Bemi

I have a different BT problem.
i am currently running Touch-IT m2d Beta. but i have always had this problem, even on the original official rom.
i pair my phone with a JVC KD-BT1 CD Head Unit in the car.
i sent this to HTC support (before i started flashing new roms to my cruise):
------------
HTC Touch Cruise. rom: 1.26.710.1 wwe radio: 1.58.21.23 protocol: 25.65.30.04h. bluetooth problem. when i have BT enabled on the htc, i get in the car and it pairs with my audio system. after i make the first call it disconnects (stops pairing) after the call is finished and then after 60 seconds, it pairs up again and i can make a call again. this happens after every call. i had a nokia and i-mate jasjam before with no problems whatsoever. any patch or update available?
------------
AND THIS WAS THEIR REPLY:
-------------
Bluetooth should be universal or is marketed as universal although it is far from the truth. Certain chipsets conflict or are incompatible with others. If a device is not fully compatible it will not offer all features or possibly not connect at all. I have included the below for current tested devices.
-------------
I DON'T think this is going to be fixed any time soon, so i'll live with it!

Hi every body.
I've got the same problem.
A Cruise Rev B, and a BT car's Kit (included in a peugeot, I thing a RD4/parrot stuff)
Actually my first call is ok, and then, heads phones are cutted (sometimes after 3 or 4 seconds), but my microphone still works.
My car's BT is still paired, and sometimes indicates that I'm still phoning, even if I've cutted it on my phone.
I'm happy to find some user's in the same "panade" than me, but I hope we will find a solution...
Who knows how it works and communicate?

It has to be radio problem.
Originally I had WM 6.0 Pro on my Polaris, and BT was working flawlessly.
Then I was stupid enough to upgrade to 6.1 WWE, and now I have all kind of trouble with BT connectivity. Downgrading back to 6.0 DID NOT help!

I have exactly the same problem, based on a slightly different configuration:
My car is a Citroen (with the RD4/parrot factory built in BT)...
My phone is a HTC TyTNII.... with WM6 I couldnt even pair the phone, so I upgraded to WM6.1
Actually I had to drive to the workshop to cut the power on the car, because the parrot BT unit wouldnt stop even tho my phone was off in the meantime.
I start to believe this is not a problem caused by my phone, but a fault SW version on the parrot unit.

I have pioneer deh-p7000bt and it works flawlessly with my polaris in handsfree and a2dp mode.
to have better quality i have to turn srs wow hd off.
in advanced config i set:
-use joint stereo: no
-bitpool: very high
-max bitpool: 64
-min bitpool: 32
-sample rate: 44100
-audio getaway: enabled

Is there anyone who solved this problem yet? I have the exact same problem. When someone calls me, I cannot hear the other party through my car speakers (Citroën C5 newest model without navidrive)

I just tried http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ and this seemed to solve my problems. I had to restart my TC after installing this and removed the relationship in my car. After I made a new relationship (pairing) everything seems to work fine. If this changes I'll let you know.

I am having the same trouble, which started after upgrading to WM 6.1. Am I right in understanding that the Bluetooth is controlled by the Radio ROM and if so is it possible to downgrade just the Radio ROM? I think mine originally came with 1.58.25.14 and the upgrade replaced it with 1.59.42.15, is there a procedure to do this, and has anyone had any success.

Sorry had a search and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600 which shows how to install just radio ROM, am just unclear as to whether you need to install Hard-SPL first as it is an official ROM and as to if changing radio clears all personal data from the phone.

I use to have a similar problem with the 4-5 second delay. i found that once the car is paired up with the phone, i ran bluetooth audio toggle, or other bluetooth audio program which makes all audio go through the vehicle all the time, including GPS navigation. This way when the phone rings, the ringtone can be heard through the speaker and when you answer it will be instantanious....... in theory.......... i mean, it worked for me anyway....
Then all you have to do is find some way to auto run the toggle everytime you pair your device to the vehicle...

1.5/Cupcake HSP (Phone) Bluetooth Problem -- any suggestions?

So... I've been very hesitant to post this here.
I originally updated to the Haykuro sapphire port some two weeks ago; I have since then tried the "Dude" mod, and the JF ADP 1.5 mod as well.
They all have exactly this same problem: My Lubix LC1 stereo bluetooth headset no longer works properly with the G1. The phone //says// it is connected with both the A2DP (music) and the HSP (phone) protocols; and the A2DP connection works perfectly. But the HSP connection is essentially non-existent, despite the phone saying it is connected under "Bluetooth Settings".
When I try to call someone w/ the phone, the audio is routed to and from the phone itself. There is no way to route the call to the bluetooth headset at all. This problem has persisted through all three versions; I have flashed and re-flashed, etc.
I have gone through two LC1 bluetooth headsets (a mishap with a rather large, rather bored dog.) They both behave in exactly this same way.
The bluetooth is working w/ my wife's Jabra 855 headset. And it worked perfectly fine in the 1.1 and 1.0 firmwares.
So... what's the deal? I'm not enough of a "computer-person" to know how to hack this myself, but if there were a way to port the 1.1 firmware's bluetooth profile to the 1.5 software, that would be awesome.
Much as it's nice to listen to music through the G1, that's not useful at the expense of the headset.
Is my only choice, if I want the 1.5/cupcake firmware, to //REALLY// purchase a new bluetooth headset thanks to the reversion/breaking caused by the Cupcake update itself?
Please help!

each new major upgrade version also comes with a matching radio firmware.
you only upgraded the system image - leaving the device unsynced with the radio image. Its a known issue. once you will upgrade your radio image most of your problem will go away.
radio image for Cupcake 1.5 can be downloaded from official HTC website.

No, I updated the radio. It had no effect on this problem whatsoever. I've done a clean downgrade/upgrade with each of the various 1.5 mods.
This is a problem with the 1.5 software. Even w/ the 1.5's radio and the JF 1.42 mod the LC1 worked perfectly.

No Devices Found
I have the most recent firmware, baseband, etc, but when I search for devices, it never finds any Bluetooth Devices.

Silly question -- but have you been putting those devices into pairing mode?

I am having the same exact problem with my BlueAnt V1 bluetooth headset. With the latest 1.5 builds across the board with the exception of the UK version that released a week ago I cannot use my bluetooth headset at all. It goes through the pairing as normal and shows connected (I even get the jazzy blue outline in the dial screen) but no audio to the headset what so ever same with my Car kit. What changed in the latest builds to the bluetooth profile?

you are not alone, same problem here with German G1 and Cupcake. It does pair with my navigation system and/or Motorola HF800. My navigation system can access the phone, read phone book and dial - but I do have no sound. Incoming calls do ring on the navigation system/headset, but if I pick up the call there is no audio connection. Any idea what to do?
Actually I consider to root and flash e.g. JF firmware hoping that this will bring any change. On the other site I am afraid that this is just waste of time and risk. Strange thing is that there are obvioulsy not many people with same problem, though they do exist and report same problem in various forums.

I have the same exact problem as well. My car radio has bluetooth HSP and A2DP. The A2DP works perfectly but when I dial a call, the HSP doesn't work. However, when I receive a call, it works. Also, I discovered if I disconnect the A2DP profile in the bluetooth settings on the phone, HSP works correctly.

opposite problem- HSP good but A2DP no good
I have the opposite problem as testing567. Phone shows it is paired for voice and media and so does my car (2009 Mazda6). AFAIK when I select AUX on my stereo; it should automatically start the music player on the phone, but it doesn't. When I manually open Music and play a song; it does not output on the phone's speaker nor the car stereo. Weird thing is that when the song is playing; the progress bar shows it playing very fast like it is skipping every 2-3 seconds. As soon as I turn the car off and the bluetooth disconnects; the song automatically resumes playing through the phone's speaker at a normal speed. I do not have another bluetooth audio device to test this with, so I am not sure if it is the car or the phone. No problems with bluetooth phonecalls. My cupcake is the official OTA release and as far as I can tell the radio is up to date (Baseband Version 62.50S.20.17H_2.2219.26I).

Im having the same problems, my bluetooth is paired and when i get a call my bluetooth rings, if i press it once to answer it goes straight to the phone, but if i press it twice i get the audio on my bluetooth. It sucks that you have to press twice just to be able to use your bluetooth. (Try it. Pair your Bluetooth, call yourself with another phone, and answer it by pressing twice on your bluetooth answer button.)

I had the same issue exactly as you describe.
I downloaded the 1.5 Radio version off HTC's website and everything works again
HTH
Smiffy.

what's your radio (baseband) version?
mine is Baseband Version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I and it takes 5-10 minutes for my already-paired parrot evo 3k to connect when my car turns on.

Problems with Jabra BT8040

Hey, is anyone using the bluetooth headset Jabra BT8040, When I first bought the headset, I had no problems using it. But I've noticed a few months ago, that whenever I use the device, the person I'm calling wont be able to hear me but I can hear them. Anyone have any ideas to solve this problem?

Similar problems
I've got the same earpiece and I've had some problems with it, including: unable to pair (or saying it's paired when it really isn't), unable to connect the BT on a call, and sometimes the earpiece will just disconnect from the phone (but the call will still remain active).
That last one is the closest I've come to your issue. I usually have to put the phone in discovery mode (and the earpiece) and try repairing them from scratch.
I've heard from others with this earpiece that they haven't had problems, but I don't know anyone who has this earpiece and the Raphael. Also, I've got the Motorola S9 bt headphones and I haven't had any problems with them. So, I'm not 100% it's the earpiece but then again it could be.

i have this jabra for about 6 months and had no problem at all with Raphael!

Changed ROM
I've just changed the ROM on my phone (as in signature line) so that may change things for me with the Jabra BT.

I'm using the updated ROM and radio in my signature line with the Jabra BT8060 (wasn't it? whatever the one we were talking about in this post is) as well as a Motorola S9 and I pair it with my laptop for internet access that way. So far I have not had the same troubles with the Jabra BT as I used to. It could be due to updated drivers for the BT or the fact that I'm not using TF3D (just the new WM6.5 interface).
Either way, I'm having good results so far.

I spoke too soon on BT...
I've spoken too soon on BT. I was trying to get my Motorola S9 working so I could listen to music from my phone. No luck at all - it shows the S9 connected for both the calls and the the music, but it only works on calls and the music plays on the device with the speaker. And it was working just fine this morning. Bluetooth in general is so frustrating to me that I would literally remove it from every costom ROM I use EXCEPT for "Internet Sharing" (on an Acer laptop and netbook) over bluetooth and activesync with a PC. Not just with this phone, but seriously, with BT 2.0 it should work A LOT BETTER than it does.

I have similar issues with several different Moto H700's. I can hear them but they can not hear me. Possibly the BT drivers from HTC need a fix????

Bluetooth and S9 issues on 2.73 ROM

Hi
I have the T-Mobile G2 Touch and a Motorola S9 headphones. Using the Origianl Stock T-Mobile ROM i have had no issues with bluetooth.
BUT
using the generic 2.73 ROM i have issues with connecting to the headset
It will connect, then instantly disconnect, then try to connect again, at which point it fails to connect properly
To Reproduce:
Using a HTC Hero & 2.73 ROM
Pair your S9's with the Hero
then Turn off the S9's and Bluetooth
Then turn on Bluetooth, and the S9's with the Bluetooth Settings up
you will see it say "Connected with Media", "Paired but not Connected", then "Connecting......." at which point it will fail
I have tried all the different radio versions to make sure it isnt a issue with the radio, but the same problem prevails.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue? or what is causing it?

I also had issues with an unlocked Hero and a Sennheiser MM200 headset. Worked perfectly on original rom, but very fiddly to setup with the 2.73 rom.
The only way I can get them to work properly with the phone is to:
1) Make sure headset is turned off, as well as bluetooth on phone
2) Turn on headset
3) Then turn on bluetooth on phone
Headset connects as normal - any other sequence doesn't work.

I have tried this, and it doesnt seem to work. I have been trying it for the last hour.
While in Bluetooth Settings it says its connected with media, then is disconnects, then it trys to connect again, and then it just says "Connecting.........." for ages
The Headset light flashes as if it was connected.

I also had problems connecting MM200. I could connect it, but then it kinda stuck when i was pressing play button.
But then i decided to check my old sony ericsson bluetooth headset - it was working normally. And after that the MM200 also was working. One wonders.
Still i've noticed some stuttering problems when song starts. And it seems to start with faster tempo and then slow down after 10 seconds to normal speed (could be related to that stuttering? Trying to compensate for the lost time or something). No issues when i'm listening to wired headphones - so it must either something with hero bluetooth or MM200.
I have to check how it works with my old headset, but i'm kinda afraid of having MM200 connection problems again.

Ok
i will keep playing around. i have some CX-300II coming next week so i have a backup plan if i cant get the bluetooth stuff working properly
Thanks for your help

I think the speeding up / slowing down and stuttering is more to do with the Hero - I have tried the headset connected to a laptop and there is no problem whatsoever. Hopefully the next Android update will improve the bluetooth problems.

not compatible with new mazda 3
Well the hero is probably the best phone ive had and ive had many many phones over the years including the jesus phone which was pants.
Well ive just bought a new mazda 3 and unfortunately the hero does not like connecting to the car via bluetooth. tried all sorts. sometimes it works but usually only for a couple of times and then manages to lock the car radio up.
So its bye bye hero for me as i need a compatable phone for my car. looks like its back to nokia...shame as i really love the phone

[Q] Bluetooth headset passkey problem

hi i have a problem when i connect with my bluetooth headset my spica shows this message "to pair with "z-w88", confirm that it is showing the passkey: 921062" which is weird because my B.Headset does not have a screen and that pass key is always random every time i try to connect it wont let me enter the 0000 required
pass key.
the "z-w88" bluetooth headset works well with my nokia E51 and my P1i
does anyone know what to do?
thanks so much!
BTW
my spica is running on android 2.1 eclair.

I have had the problem with Jabra bluetooth headset.
Whta I did I just clicked OK on screen and it is working properly.
Maybe you should try this.
(If I want o pair another device, the password is always randomly, but th pairing is succesfull in every case)
