[Q] arc, bluetooth, Nokia BH-900 - Xperia Arc General

Hi.
Very happy with my SE arc, but i'm having a little problem with my Nokia BH-900 BT headset and the arc.
No problem connecting them, but when I use them together they randomly loose contact for a second and then establish contact again.
This doesn't happen when in call, only when idle and it wouldn't be a problem if not the headset gave a little beep when disconnecting and again connecting again (although very handy with the beeps so I don't fall to sleep in car )
I have reconnected a couple of times, and when I have there's not a problem, but the problem reappear next time I turn on the headset.
Anyone who could direct me in a solution ?
Did I say I'm VERY HAPPY with the arc ?? Well if not then I will state I am

And i have problems with the nokia carkit 3100. It cannot even pair. I think this is a software related problem. My desire with gingerbread does not have this problem, r the desire runs 2.3.3.
I hope SE will soon update to 2.3.3

I have no problem with pairing, but if 2.3.3 can do something it would be nice.
I have tried some more headset, Jabra headset works fine, and I have tried a Nokia BH-600 which also works. You could suspect a faulty BH-900 headset, but it works on other phones,
So why are my BH-900 headset from Nokia disconnecting and immediately connecting again on my Sony Ericsson Xperia arc ?
Anyone experienced similar problem ?

Problem with BT Headset

Hi!
I am using a Motorola HS810 with my O2 Mini/ Magician. It was alright for quite some time but since the last week or so I am facing a lot of problem with it. Either there is way too much static and I can barely hear the person I have called and the other person cant hear me at all. Apart from that when I switch on the flip it just dials the last number I have called without me pressing anything. I have deleted the pairing and paired both devices again but nothing. I tried the headset on a Sony Ericsson phone and it worked fine on it. No static and it did not dial automatically.
Could it be some sort of issue with the BT stack on the Mini. The only other paired device I have on my phone is my laptop which is syncing over BT perfectly fine.
Please help.
Thanks.

Bluetooth problem for X1 and A2DP Headset

Here I have connection problem between X1 and DS205, and it may happen to other A2DP headsets. The pairing is OK, music and phone call are also OK. The only issue is whenever ending a phone call (in or out), the DS205 is disconnected anyway, while the BT status is still on. Thus I have to push the play/stop key to connect DS205 and X1 again. Did you run into this problem? Any solution for this? Thank you!

Yes, I have the same problem w/ DS-205 and JVC BT-1 (I had a review post before and talk about this issue as well). I think this is a common problem of HTC device since my ATT Tilt also has the same issue.
Maybe we should complaint to Sony and let Sony gives some pressure to HTC to fix this issue.

Thank you! I have sent my complaint to Sonyericsson, and now I'm waiting for the response. This problem is quite annoying during listening to music. And I guess it's only for the stereo headsets, doesn't happen to the mono one. Am I right?

Bluetooth issue still exists after new R2A ROM-update

Hi there,
Finally I assume I found out why some people have problems with their unit using BT and others not.
Those, who use BT headsets only (not stereo) and don't use the AD2P and AVRCP Profile don't have any problems. (I can confirm this - tested it with HBH-660 and Motorola without any troubles!)
And those people who have a stereo headset like the HBH-DS980 (which I own personally) and/or do own a car radio that can receive AD2P signals to transfer Stereo sound, face with the BT disconnections while listening to music and/or during a call or just right after...
So I think SE should solve this issue quickly as it seems to be a problem in WMP 6.1 in accordance to X1 hardware with AD2P / AVRCP profile devices.
So I start a poll for anyone who could confirm this or not !
BTW: I am using the Generic AT ROM but this BUG is affected through all other ROMs too, so that shouldn't matter -
Thanks,
Freako
My kenwood headunit uses avrcp and a2dp and works fine.
There was a discussion on this issue already and it does exist w/ my AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) as well w/ all the A2DP headsets I tried (SE DS220/205/980, JVC BT-1, ClipD R Radio, Jabra (forget what model)) so far
I believed the bluetooth issue that R2A fixed is another one where BT will turn itself off if not use for a while.
The 'turn off' issue is still there with mine! I had it only after 2,3 days but then continuously turn off by itself! Now, still happening! Generic_UK R2A
Generic Swedish R2A.
No problem for Bluetooth! But when I softreset x1 via spb mobile shell panell it crashes on boot.

Yes absolutely Jackleung, you're right, the new firmware should have fixed the automatic turn off of BT only, but I belive what michaelthemage said, that it still exists after his UK firmware update so do I - today the BT icon dissapeared suddenly - so it was turned off automatically ... very curious...
Anyway, Jackleung, you say that this problem was present in earlier WM6 machines like the Kaiser? As far as I know I did not try a stereo BT headset on my previous Tytn II but you say it seems to be a bug in WM6.1 in general, right ?
Very interesting that trinode doesn't have these problems with it's Kenwood headset - maybe I give it a try if it isn't too expensive -
On the other way Persian Boy links it with the SPB Shell - I do have the standard SBP Panel that you can download from web. Maybe I should uninstall it and try again - maybe the SPB panel makes these troubles? Personally I can't imagine, but will try anyway -
So far,
Freako

Can you please tell me the exact brand of this headunit by kenwood?
So you did try transferring music to the kennwood radio and there were no problems like sudden disconnections or so?
Thanks,

The problem I am talking about is A2DP/Headset disconnected after phone call, and I have to re-connect it after that. I don't thinks it's WM6 or SPB panel issue since only HTC devices (X1, Kaiser w/ no SPB install) have this issue. My other device Asus P525 (WM6/6.1 w/ Widcomm bt stack) or Eten M600 (WM6 w/ MS BT stack) do not have this issue.
Is anyone with the Bluetooth problem running MS Voice Command? I'm still on R1A. I had no trouble at all using my Motorola T505 A2DP kit, but when I installed MSVC, the stupid thing would drop out as soon as I picked up a call. Uninstalling MSVC seems to have done the trick.

Hi, yes I have Voice Command 1.6 on my device. It's working pretty well, but I know, what you're talking about -
Please try it with a usual BT headset (without the AD2P / AVRCP profiles!) if you have this possibility, - you'll see that it will work without any hassle.
I made this experience after I tried the HBH-660 and a Motorola headset.
Anyway - the new firmware R2A is recommended, even if the BT issue isn't solved.
But interesting to know that it seems to be a bug in HTC machines... so it will exist in further firmware updates... probably... I personally don't hope so....
No problems with the Sony HBH-IS800's and the bluetooth turning off randomly.
I have a problem with the WIFI randomly turning itself on during phone calls but no problems with anything turning off.
I have HBH-DS980 and I don't have any problems with disconnecting it on my X1 - not with R2A and not with R1A UK roms, also tested few modifided roms and there woudn't any problems too. I am also using SE MBW-150 watch and it also don't disconnect's with X1 (tested with R1A and R2A). I have BT turned on in my X1 all the time (previously in R1A rom and now in R2A) and after I turn on my HBH-DS980 headsets it will connect with them automaticly. Only sometimes I have to switch off and switch on againg BT to get connected with headsets but I think its headsets problem not the phone. But I never had a problem with suddenly disconnecting (not even once).

Thank you very much ell82, but maybe I should describe more specifically - disconnections also happens after calls - for example, if you switch on your BT headset (in this case the DS-980), you see a symbol next to the BT symbol on the top of the phone, that indicates, that a BT headset is connected. Now, I figured out, that after calls this symbol dissapears and the BT headset dissconnects, so I have to push the button on the DS-980 again to get connected with the phone, you know? And when I get a call, the phone does not automatically transfer the call to the headset, I always have to push the button on it first, to be connected again...
And you also confirm that sometimes you have to switch the BT on and off again - this is absolutely the same with my phone.
You assume it is a problem with the specific headset DS-980 ? Maybe, but SE support told me that there is no firmware update or sth. similar for this type... what a pity -
Anyway I hope it is not a hardware bug of the phone - I haven't heard of any phone that was repaired or refurbished because of the Bluetooth bug.
Ok, so can we say that the HBH-DS980 will not work with X1 as it should do ?
This is very pity, because it is the top of thir line of headset products... and I liked it very much on my previous P1i and it worked perfectly on it...

This is exactly the same issue I am talking about and it's NOT specific to DS-980 alone. I tried DS-980, DS-205, DS-220, JVC BT-1, Clip-D Radio, and one Jabra model. And they all have the same issue on my X1 and Kaiser. (but not on my Asus P525 and Eten M600). The issue not happening 100% of the time but at least 80% which is enough to be frustrated.

Yes, 80% of that time is ok, but the 20% lead to be very frustrated - ABSOLUTELY !!
In a time (2009) were bluetooth does exist several years and where all bugs should have been cleared over the years..., the truth shows that there still exist "minor/major?" bugs in current phones...
BT Headset problems
I can confirm that the problems with BT and HBH-DS970 are a fact - and it seems to drain the battery enormously. I have tested for a few days the PV 710 (Mono handsfree), no issue. Today with the 970 my battery was empty after 6 hours standby, and it was disconnected allthough the icon said "BT-Stereo-Headset connected! After switching it off, the icon remained. Strange, isnĀ“t it?
I come from P1i and there was no such problem at all.
I experience the same problem. New NL firmware and a Volkswagen (Bury OEM) Bluetooth carkit. My Nokia 6500 and SE K850i work perfectly but terminating a call makes the BT connection disappear on a fairly regular base. If the other party terminates it usually stays connected
...very strange but anyway it seems that it is mainly affected with AD2P / AVRCP devices - I hope it is just a software/firmware bug that can be fixed easily and not caused by a hardware failure....
Sorry guys but again I have to say it doesnt effect on my X1 and DS-980, never and I'm using it a lot. Have you guys tried it on fresh phone, without any additional software?

The first thing after the purchase of the phone was to couple the device with the DS-980 headset and the bluetooth issue was really not expected and made me angry and at that time I didn't have any extra software on it...
When did you buy your headset ? I bought mine approx. 1 1/2 years ago...
Maybe the current items go better with the X1?? I don't know.
But we found out that this issue was also caused in other Windows Mobile devices like the Kaiser, TyTn etc.
The poll shows significantly that there are still some who have troubles with bluetooth, even after update-
AND now we can ask them if any of you have tried the headsets with clean and fresh install ? (Xperia X1 without any additional software, even without sbp panel, etc...! )
I am curious...

[Q] Car Bluetooth Connectivity

Hi all,
I have had a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 for a couple of months and have had issues with the Bluetooth not connecting to my car's internal bluetooth system. On my old phone I could access my contacts. answer and dial calls through my car, now the car and phone do pair but I cannot access my contacts nor can I receive or make calls.
I am using android 2.1 and have tried a bluetooth "fix" application which also did not work. From other threads and forums online this seems to be a regular problem with the xperias and I was wondering if you guys know how to fix this.
Cheers
can anyone help..?
up!
I have the same problem with X8 and my 2002 bmw
With the old k800i no problem to pass phonebook and sms.
Can anyone help us? Is it a software or hardware problem?
