I have 2.2 official, rooted (315) working with the performance upgrade.
Each time I get in to my car, although I have previoulsy paired the phone with the cars bluetooth, it asks me for the password, as if the phone doesnt store the it from one use to the other. Once I put the passord in it works fine.
On my other car it has paired fine and remembers it each time. I don't have to redo the password.
the thing is I was using Froyo 2.2 on my previous phone, an HTC Desire and didn't have this problem on either car.
Is this a phone or car issue and if it is the former, do I need additional software?
I have now flashed Steve's 1.5 Rom and the issue is still there.
What I do not understand is that the HTC Desire was fine on 2.2 but with the Streak it is there, I am asked to input my pairing password everytime I get into the car.
Does the Streak handle its bluetooth differently to the HTC? Is there an app I can use?
Has anybody had a similar problem?
Sorry mate no issues whatsoever with mine and the parrot mki9200 handsfree kit. I'd suggest fiddling around in the phones bluetooth options, and maybe delete the partnerships both on the phone and on the handsfree.
Other tha turning the bluetooth off and on there aren't any other 'settings' that I can find. Its there an equivalent 'tweaks' type as app as you get with win mo that might have some extra settings?

The only BT problem I've seen, is with mine...
318 "stock", no other mods.
If I have wi-fi enabled & connected to a wi-fi hotspot, or my home router,
BT conversations will cut in and out, until I turn wi-fi off.

now dont take my word as the word of god as I started androiding since yesterday in the evening only but:
when in car, activate the connection between your handsfree and your phone, then goto bluetooth settings in your phone, tap on the connected device, there will be a bunch of further settings (like what services it would use, etc.)
i think that in your situation however the best advice would be deleting the pairing details both from the phone and from the handsfree.
I usually don't have this problem with my parrot mki9200 handsfree kit, but I have experienced similar things in the past, but that was only when my phone spazzes out and error occurs. Can't remember what errors like but it's usually when random things start force closing and stuff, and the phone is due a full reboot (not forced to reboot but manually rebooted just to refresh the phone) or I need to repair for whatever reason. I either just have to re-enter the passcode and I'm off or when I try to repair the connection, it would connect straightaway without asking for a passcode, but then if I unpair the connection, the system would then prompt me to enter a passcode and entering the passcode would connect the devices together again (even though I'm trying to unpair them).
My advice would be to try doing a fresh pair by establishing a full and stable connection (so probably after you've entered the code and are connected) then unpair on both the phone and the your car kit, then power both systems down (car so the hands free kit powers off and the phone), then start them up again and establish a fresh pair connection and see if that helps. Other than that, I would suggest seeing if there is any firmware updates for your hands free kit cos it might not be fully compatible with the Dell Streak even if you are running 2.2 (I had to do this with my system as it would constantly randomly disconnect then reconnect itself but this went away after a firmware update).
My car s hands free its one of those with no settings, it's just there constantly on ready to pair mode and just adds any phone is in range if that phone is in discovery mode. Its just always like that so it never has a settings section, you just do it on the phone.
My two previous phones, an htc desire with 2.2 and a htc legend both connected flawlessly without any of the pairing issues.
I took the car to the dealer and he said there were no upgrades for it so it is really frustrating to think that the Streak is running the same software as the other phones but for some reason in its architecture it us not compatible with my car. The other annoying thing is that on my other car it works perfectly.

Yeah bluetooth can be a major pain in the a55
Sorry to say, but as an extreme measure, hard reset might resolve..

If I use titanium back up can I quickly restore everything as it is here after a heard reset? What is the best way to do this?

Hi Guys,
I'm having this problem that is driving me nuts, don't really know how to proceed.
I have a car stereo a Kenwood DNX8120, which has parrot bluetooth hands free. It has worked very well in the past on an LG, SonyEricsson and the Nexus One.
On the Nexus S (I bought this used and rooted with CM7, so I don't know about a stock model) the bluetooth connects, then after some time, like 20 seconds, it disconnects. I can play this game forever, it won't stay connected.
I can use one of two methods to connect
1- put the phone in BT discovery and let the kenwood connect to it, or
2- Have the phone connect to the kenwood.
I've tried both with the same results.
I got a.logcat and I see a whole bunch of red entries at the time this happens but I don't know what to make if it and I don't know how to grab these entries to a file.
I have also tried a phone wipe and installed infin1ty's ROM and also the latest CM nightlies. Same friggin result.
I see in recovery there are options to delete dalvik and data but I don't know if they'll help.
can you guys help?
Thanks
Tried another device. The actual hardware could be messed up on either device causing this. Try your LG again to the radio and the try another headset to to the phone. Last but not least try the stock Rom .
P.s. cm7 had an issue on the evolution where by was not given a unique Mac address which caused issues for me connecting 2 cm7 EVOs (they would over write each other).
Hope that helps

Hi Thanks for the help.
Both LG and SE phones still work fine. I'm unable to find another nexus s so I dunno if this particular one.
But here's a new discovery.
I paired them using the HU. Now when I start the car, the BT connects then after a bit it disconnects. Well now I can go to the *phone* and manually connect to the kenwood and the connection holds!!! I have no idea what is going on with the autoconnect but it can apparenlty hold a connect if I manually initiate it from the phone.
All this time I had been trying to get the kenwwood to do the manual connection (after the auto connection faills) and that never held.
sigh...
Have you tried a headset with the nexus to see how well/bad it works? Also are you on the stock rom? If so take it down to your carrier and ask if you can try it on one of their units.
Hi guys,
I have a very strange problem with my beloved note. After I get in the car and drive off I remember that I have to turn bluetooth on so it can connect to the hands free system. The thing is that it doesn't connect automatically, I have to go into the settings and tap the BT name in order to connect it. If on the other hand if I have BT already enabled on the phone before starting the car, it conmects automatically. With the first version of GB the Note had in November I didn't have this issue, but after the first update it started not to work. Now I am on official unrooted ICS 4.0.3. Never had this problem with any other phone.... Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can try Automatic Bluetooth Toggle PRO (I think there is trial version on Google Play). I don't know if it will help you. If not then I'm sorry you will probably have to go back to GB. I'm still on GB as I was also having issues with bluetooth on stock ICS (CM9-based ROMs worked well though).
Thanks a lot. GB had the same annoying problem though :-(... so it's not that....

Hi,
Did you allow the pairing automatically between the devices?
When you pair at installation, it isn't permanently (= automatic) yet. When you get in your car and pair for a second time, normally your phone asks you if you allow your hands free system to access your phone; at that moment you have to tick "don't ask me again" and "yes" for automatic paring.
You might want to disassociate the two and try a new setup (pairing).
To disassociate, stop the system in your car (that cuts the BT connection between the two), disassociate on the phone (push and hold your hands free system in the BT section of the phone and chose disassociate), reboot your phone (so it forgets your cars BT system) and start pairing all over again.
I would provoke the second connection so you get the "automatic" question to make it work.
Good luck :good:
I have the same problem with the original ICS rom.
Flashing a custom ICS rom fixes this problem.
I tried kingdroid (worked ok)
I tried Cyanogen (phone ok, no media audio over BT but connection OK).
I had a similar problem after upgrade with stock ICS through software update. I couldn't pair Note with Mercedes bluetooth. Galaxy Note recognized Mercedes BT & vice versa, but connection was impossible. I read every forum on internet but no help. Everybody was blaming Samsung and ICS. Some suggested resseting Note to factory default, others downloading bluetooth app etc.
Until...I finally figured out that something was confusing my car's BT, so I resseted car system, and the problem was solved.

These is a twist with "old" BT systems and ICS: Old BT systems want you to insert a pin code, ICS wants you to to confirm a code that the BT system sends and that ICS shows on the screen.
It's obvious that that ICS on an old system can be a hassle.
A work around is to put the car in discover mode (so it shows the pin code) and then send a contact (or a picture) from the phone to the car system. As the car replies, your phone will show the possibility to insert the PIN Code.
After that your system should work.
At second connection make the pairing automatic (as I described above) and you're happy.
(This is not my discovery, I found this solution on the SE XPeria Ray forum as I had problems with my wifes phone )
Thaks a lot. I will try as soon as I get the chance and will let you guys know.

So with the workaround mentioned above - it doesn't work. When turning on bt on the phone it won't automatically connect to the car.

Try A2DP Volume on the market.
I have the same problem as you. I used a leaked ics rom on my galaxy s2 and also had the same problem we now have on our ics galaxy notes. My car's head unit is a 3 year old eclipse cd5030. For the last month ive just been manually pairing it every time. PITA. Ill try the workaround suggested earlier in this thread and let you know. Otherwise i think cyanogen mod rom may work.

I had similar issues with Parrot 9200 kit in my car. Paired automatically under GB but on stock ICS wouldn't pair unprompted. Sometimes it would but only after minutes.
I'm on Paranoid Android 0.4 now which is CM9 based. It's better but often still slow to pair unprompted. Main improvement for me is that the phone doesn't carry on playing music through its own speaker, like it did on stock ICS, when I turn off the engine.
There is an app on the market called "Auto Connect 2.0", but it is only available for ICS and above Android versions

i have same problem with my note, but with my Galaxy S1 works fine, when i upgrade the android to 4.0.4 solves the problem.
Any ideas on how to get this thing to pair with a bluetooth device that doesn't have a pin? I get a request for a passkey/pin during pairing and the OK button is disabled until a character is entered. The normal defaults don't work (0000, ETC) since the device doesn't require a pin. It works perfectly with my Rezound running ViperRez, and Windows, etc.
Not sure you can. That's a security feature of BT. Even if you could somehow alter the BT stack on the tablet, the other device would still need a pin to finish pairing. I suspect the other device DOES have a pin, and you'll need to figure out what it is. If it is a popular device, surely someone else has done the research for you and you can find it online. I know I have a BT GPS unit that didn't use any default PIN that I knew and after scouring for this obscure device I found a similar one using the same chip set and discovered the PIN in the other device's manual.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can find a device with a similar chipset. It's a targus mouse and this nexus is the only thing that has ever asked for a pin, and the manual doesn't specify one and support verified this. ICS devices hadn't been asking for one either.
As a suggestion, the Motorola Elite Sliver can pair via NFC.

Necroreplying for posterity: bluetooth supports pinless pairing, but android doesn't. There's two android bugs for this, 26049 and 52549.
This issue only seems to occur with my car, a 2013 WRX. I connected fine and typically every subsequent time I get in the car and start up as long as Bluetooth is on my phone will automatically connect. This was the case with my Gnex and the moto x. The G2 connects the first time fine but then the next time it won't connect, almost as if it's a different phone. The cars Bluetooth is pretty basic so it will only save one device so I end up having to delete it and start over.
The phone auto connects to other devices like my obd dongle and my outdoor speakers just not the car. And it worked in the car with other phones so I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem with my 2011 WRX. G2 will connect fine the first time but every time after that i need to manually connect and that will only work every 3rd time.Very annoying.

Have you tried letting it go for a while? I noticed its very slow to reconnect in my car (Infiniti), but it does eventually reconnect.
I havent tested it yet, but I noticed if the screen is on during reconnect, I get a message box saying the car is accessing the phonebook....Im wondering if it pulling the phonebook every time is slowing down the reconnection process.
Found a Solution
Found a solution, want to thank 2011_ST over at forums.androidcentral.com for pointing me in the right direction. The WRX head unit is very weird. The paired devices it shows you when you use the buttons to see all devices is different from the paired devices it tells you when you use the voice navigation to pair and delete devices. I had to use the voice navigation to delete my last 2 phones, than pair the LG G2. Problem solved, phone connects in the first 10 seconds after car starts.
Could you elaborate a little on where you see the different devices?
Since this I've actually gotten a new G2 due to issues with calls not coming through with the first. Still having the same issue. I cleared everything out today and started navigation and tried connecting after that started but I don't see a difference. After turning the car off and back on it doesn't reconnect. It saves the car in my BT settings and if I go in and uncheck and recheck phone and media audio it then reconnects without repairing but it will not auto connect.
For others the WRX Bluetooth I'd very basic, no contacts syncing or anything like that so I know this isn't the issue.
Thanks
