Car Bluetooth Handsfree (BMW E60) connection dropping - Desire HD General

Hi,
On my BMW 530D ('04 E60) having issues with the built in bluetooth handsfree.. It find the car, pairs, but after few seconds it drops the connection and after another few seconds it connects again.. Doesn't matter if I'm in middle of a call or not. There was a topic that suggested to deselect the option to disable bluetooth when not in call in the power saver menu, but this doesn't work for me..
Have HTC Desire HD, CoreDroid V5.4, radio 26.06.03.24_M2 (tryed few other and same result)
Any help, please?

Read how I solved, here:

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.

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.

Bluetooth with car stereo

I'm having troubles getting my car stereo to work with my wizard. When I get an incomming call, most of the time it doesn't let the stereo know. It also seems to only send the bluetooth signal for a couple seconds, then off for a couple seconds. My rom doesn't have A2DP, do I need this or what's the deal. TIA
Try this file. I got it from this forum. I don't know what it does but it works for me. I have a Motorola BT car kit and i was having the same problem. Take off the .txt, put in \Windows\StartUp and soft reset.
On startup it just opens the text file in word. Is it supposed to do that?

that is why you take off the .txt part so it should be just exe at the end!!! Just read what was said!!! duh
Ok, so it did that but it didn't seem to fix it. I'm using molski's 2.26.10.2 rom. Anyone have any other ideas/ thanks
What stereo are you using? I just installed a Sony MEX-BT5000 in my car last weekend, and it works fine (at least in handsfree mode -- haven't tested A2DP yet) with my Wizard with the Qtek 2.17.7.2 ROM and the Tornado A2DP fix.
I have a pyle deck. The wierdest thing is that it sees the phone sometimes and not others. And the phone sees the deck as handsfree but won't use it.
Anyone know ???
So i was playing around with this supid thing today trying to get it work and i figured out that it will work...but every time i have to press "turn handsfree on". But my stereo still doesn't reconize when it's ringing. So i guess the problem is that my wizard won't remember to leave the handsfree on, is there an always on anywhere? Please help me
look around in the xizzard upgrading part of the forum..somewhere on the first 3 pages of threads theres one labeled somthing like " how to keep Bluetooth, GPRS, WiFi enabled while in standby" see what that has to say about it because it sounds to me like what i was going trough with one of my BT headsets when my 8125 would go into the standby mode
Tried that, it didn't fix anything

p3600i and Parrot CK3200

Hi all!
Long time reader, first time poster.
I have a HTC P3600i, I thoght I would compliment it by getting rid of my Motorola BT Carkit and install a flash new Parrot CK3200.
Well since I installed it I have had no end of frustrations with the two devices.
They just dont seem to work well together. This is what happens:
1) When first connected the phone and car kit (CK) synchronises. I can make a call using the phone book on the CK and it will work fine for 1.03 minutes after which it will hang up. If I try to make a call from the handset it disables the handsfree function and I have to renable it to get audio through the CK.
2) The CK decides how well it is going to work. When receiving a carr if I press the green answer button it will answer the call, but the CK will decide whether or not I can hear the caller, sometimes it works fine, others no one can hear me. I have to disable handsfree on the menu within the call on the HTC and hopefully they can hear me. This is a lucky draw as every call is different.
3) Normally after I have issues with a call the CK will disconnect and drop the connection. Sometimes it will reconnect but normally it just sits there locked up saying "disconnected".
I have contacted Parrot support and they suggested I use a pairing profile for a Sony. This has made no difference.
I have tried all profiles in the CK, updated it to the latest version of firmware and pulled out most of my hair. This is starting to tick me off as my phone is never quiet.
Has anyone had a similar experience? I am wondering if it is actually a problem with the P3600i not the CK. I dont know.
BTW I have tries USBKILLER and JETBT and these do not assist at all.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem - Anybody out there with any solutions?
Perhaps I know
I had the same issue and I solved in this way. Just change the way you connect the CK to the car power! I had this issue when other car devices start absorbing power. My car service just switched to another line.

Hi fl3nd3r,
So I read from your post that I need to connect the power to the car kit to another hot wire instead of the one I currently am using. I normally have the car charger plugged into the trinity when I am in the car and maybe this is affecting the stability of the system?
I am happy to try it but am not totally convinced this will solve the solution. I certainly hope it will though!!!
Thanks for reading and I will post back with my findings!
Thanks!!
Well I have tried rewiring the car kit to another source of power (off ignition) and still no luck, the darned thing is driving me crazy.
Anybody else out there with the same experience or issues?
Thanks

Bluetooth Problems on X1

Hi,
hopefully anyone has an answer to the strange bluetooth behaviour of my X1.
The first device is a bluetooth headset from Sony. It works good, if bluetooth is activated. But after some time of not using the headset, the phone just switches off bluetooth. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes days after my last use of the headset. I tried all settings of the bluetooth-settings with no change. And it sucks if with the next phone call the headset cannot connect anymore because bluetooth was switched off.
The second device is a GNS TrafficBox Plus FM9BT-Y. Somehow MN7 does not detect the device directly, so I have to use the workaround with the serial port and outgoing connection on COM1.
The initial minutes the connection works fine, but then stops and is not restored.
Here as well trying different settings changed nothing.
How can I find out the address of the bluetooth devices?
Is there a tool to further test bluetooth connections (like what speed can be used, the address of the device, etc)
Regards

Im using Itjes Touch 7 final & i have the same problem - infact i've had it with the last 3 of his roms with my blutooth to SEAT car. I'll be on a call in my car & it switches the blutooth off without warning. generally after about 10 minutes of actual call time. But it doesnt disconnect unless during a call ? There is no rhyme or reason to it, it just sometimes happens?
So any further info will be appreciated

I have Ra2generic DE with the 1.10 radio ROM on it.
At the beginning it was fantastic not having the bluetooth issue. Everything was working so extremely goood... no switching off, no disconnecting of and from the bt headset,, etc...
After a while the issue was here again...damn! So the bt became not very useful in its functionalities.... then I saw that it was not possible to see through my bt freespeech device in the car the last calls on the phone... hm, ok I said. There were lot of calls (incoming, outgoing, missed, etc) on the list...I erased them all...
Now it is working in a perfect way.... no disconnecting, no switching off..and this with the stock ROM and Radio ROM.
I tried it a few months before posting it here... now I'm cleaning up my calling list every 2nd day (I really call a lot) and I have no problems..
Hope it works for you..
i have the same problem, the bluetooth disconect without any reason, i have tried more than 10 Roms and i dont have any solution
¿is so dificult for Sony to repare this problem?

Bluetooth causes phone to crash

I tried different roms curently using hyperdroid/ Miri with no success the phone always crashes when i pair/connect my bluetooth and try to make call. I followed directions of a poster to pair/connect and unpair and reboot. It worked once and then same problem again.
I want to use android on a regular basis but cant use it without bluetooth. Can anyone help ? Thank you !! I searched this forum and on the web for a while before posting this. If you have a solution please help.

Try different kernels. I've found that even though I continue to use the same build (ShubCRAFT 1.5), when I swap kernels I get differing results with the BT headset.
Media Audio tends to work whatever, I've had no problems with that, but phone audio is a different matter.
I've been using michyprima's r11 kernel lately (noAXI) and that seems to just about work but I do have to make a call and press the Bluetooth button immediately initially to get it to work.
Even then, it's flaky, as when the phone rings and I press the answer button on my BT headset, it brings up the Voice Dialer dialog over the top of the phone app and doesn't answer the call. I've resorted to only connecting BT to media and not using it for the phone.
I appreciate that doesn't solve your problems - I've simply decided to try each and every kernel until it's fixed! I'm sure the wonderful devs here will get round to fixing it soon but I think they've probably got other things higher up on the priority list right now!
I'm using a Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset btw.
hello sorry for my English
my jabra bt hyperdroid on 1.2 works, but sometimes there is more sound for the march to re-I does not restart it by pressing the restart button, but I removed the battery!
For me works like that
success
I forgot to tell you that I deactivated the sound of media
