Hi,
I have a HTC Desire Z (rooted with CM7.1-RC1). Recently after updating the ROM I had some issues connecting it with my car bluetooth. But after a few hits and misses I had been able to get the bluetooth connected with almost anything I want. So I have it working fine with my car, laptop etc. But the problem exists in my desktop.
The phone is paired but shows up as "paired but not connected" and in the devices and printers menu, I see HTC Vision (name of my phone for bluetooth detection) but its grey. Meaning perhaps the full drivers have not been installed. I remember that when I connected it to my laptop, it installed the HTC drivers after I had full control of my phone, files, music etc. But in Desktop it didn't do any such thing.
Although I am able to send and receive files. I would like to do more, such as streaming music and getting calls through my speakers rather which I am able to do on my laptop.
One last bit of info, my desktop uses Windows 7 x64 whereas Laptop runs on Windows 7 x86.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

did you set your bluetooth as discoverable when on your desktop? or did you set your computers bluetooth as discoverable?

Both were set to discoverable. They are paired, but never connected. As I pointed out before as well, Windows don't seem to recognize the drivers for HTC and doesn't treat it like a phone. Whereas on the other laptop the phone works perfectly fine.
Any suggestions guys?
I'm having the same problems on Desire S and stable CM 7.1. Sending of files to nokia e52 works, but to win7 or mac doesn't. Pairing with parrot ck3100 is successful, but doesn't connect nor sync contacts.
Did you solve it finally?
Did you install htc sync?
No HTC Sense
nah I haven't installed HTC Sense but that's because I don't need it. Windows automatically finds and installs the drivers on the laptop on which everything through Bluetooth is working. But on the desktop where I use the Bluetooth dongle, it doesn't seem to work. The only thing I am able to do is transfer files, but no streaming music or answering phone.
Also I am using MIUI ROM so HTC Sense would have nothing to do with it.
Have the same problem here with HTC Desire Z and CM 7.2.0 (stable), tried original radio version and 26.13.04.19.
Symptoms are (CM 7.2.0 / 26.13.04.19):
* Bluetooth devices find each other
* pairing is initiated
* the phones services aren't detected correctly, drivers aren't installed after pairing
* when trying to enable services (e.g. "Audio Source" or "Object Push (Obex)") I get a "wrong parameter"-error box
* phone symbol of the Bluetooth device in the device list is "grayed out"
* When manually connecting, the connection is "aborted" some 1-2 seconds later
Additionally:
* Phone doesn't work with car hands free
* When downgrading radio to original revision and putting a stock ROM on it... bluetooth works, but wifi does not.
It's possibly a matter of the correct "radio version" but I've no clue, which one should be working...
---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Problem solved for me!!!
I just didn't read the complete instructions about how to update the radio!
It's not just installing the radio, but also wiping cache + dalvik cache AND updating the rils+.so files within the ROM!
And last but not least wiping the EFS partition...
I just did not continue after "Once you are running the .19 radio [...]", because I thought it as instructions for people who do an update from the priorly -wrong- version without RCDATA.
Full instruction are found here:

Hi,
I'm trying to use my XDA2 to provide Internet Access (GPRS) via BT to my portable PC.
I'm using my PCs built-in Bluetooth-module (running on WIDCOMM 1.4.1 Build 6)
I have no problem synchronizing my XDA2 with Outlook using BT (since this is a connection initiated by the XDA2) but if I "browse" the services on my XDA2 from my PC I only get OBEX Object Push.
I know from previous occations that you should be able to see Serial Ports etc.
My XDA2 is running on the following version:
R: 1.06.01
G: 1337.16
D: 1.60.00WWE
And Pocket Bluetooth Tools
Can anyone tell me what to look for?
Thanx in advance
Frank.
You can try using the XDA II in the wireless modem mode... See your program files for this application. Works for me.
There's your problem... You need to uninstall Pocket Bluetooth Tools; it removes your SSA service (which you need for BT Wireless Modem)
Hmm I also do use the Bluetooth Tools so I doubt you need to remove this very handy app. ?
Hi.
Well, I had to hard-reset my PDA in order to remove Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT), so I don't know if it was the hard-reset or PBT that did the works, but now I get the SSA profile and can connect to it without any problems.
Unfortunatly I lost the option to sync my PDA via Bluetooth, since Active Sync cant find any ports. So I'll give PBT another try, otherwise I'll just use the FIR-port to sync.
Thank you for your help. I'll let you know how things work out, when I re-install PBT.
Best regard,
Frank.
What ROM you running? With the 1.72, you have the options of enablign outgoing and incoming COM ports in the settings menu (Start --> Settings --> Bluetooth Settings)
Before installing Bluetooth Tools, I've got: Serial, SSA, Object Push, and one more.
After installing: I've only got Serial and the other one that I cannot remember.
--------------------------
For me, it was the Bluetooth Tools that was holding me back. I've emailed the author to see whether he can add the SSA port.
Update:
Well, first of all, I was thrilled to find out that I no longer have to start the Wireless Modem-app to use the GPRS-connection on my laptop. Apperantly a modem-emulator runs in the background, so my XDA2 stays fully functional while its forwarding GPRS traffic. (Though I think it's strange that theres no indication what-so-ever that the GPRS is in use - normally you get a different icon at the antenna)
Anyways, I installed the latest version af Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT). And the SSA-profile was still there and working. Then I paired my laptop using the ActiveSync profile in PBT - and wupti: Both the GPRS "dial-through"/SSA and ActiveSync is working - at the same time.
Now, all thats left is to pair it with my BT GPS receiver. Can't do it at moment since it's at home - I don't expect any problems with it though. Usually works without problems.
Thank you again for your input.
Frank.
hmm... that's awesome. I'll install Pocket Bluetooth again and see whether it works.
Can you answer these:
1. Which ROM you using (ie. O2 1.60)
2. Which version of Pocket Bluetooth Tools? 1.1.0.0?
Thanks... That's awesome news though. I love how it turns the Bluetooth on and off automatically.
WeatherB:
I'm using ROM 1.60.00WWE (QTek) and the latest version of PBT (1.1.0.0)
It works like a dream
I guess it's possible that Pocket Bluetooth is conflicting with 1.72
I know for a fact, that ver. 1.1.0.0 is conflicting with 1.72 - my friend tried to use this.
He then installed a previous version of PBT, but still can't see the SSA-profile, but the ActiveSync profile now works.
He will try to uninstall PBT and see if the SSA appears.
oh okay... I might have to downgrade to 1.60...
What's the main difference between 1.60 and 1.72?
WeatherB:
I just talked to my friend again. Seems I misunderstood him the first time. The reason he uses an older version of PBT is that with the new version his headset-profile is not supported.
Apparantly the biggest advantage of the 1.70 is the improved battery lifetime. He says he only charges his battery twice as often now. I'm sure there are other improvements - I just can't find 'em in the Upgrade 'n Modifying-forum right now.
I did the downgrade to 1.60 last night and I noticed something weird about PBT... After bonding with a device, you need to leave that last screen (the one that PBT created) unchecked and all will work fine.
Not sure if I tried this workaround with 1.72; but non-the-less, seems to be working. I did however lose the Audio Gateway after installing PBT. But no biggie, don't want to listen use my PDA as an audio gateway for my PC.
WeatherB:
Hmm. I checked the Active Sync-box, otherwise I couldn't connect via Active Sync over BT, since it wasn't in the menu.
But I don't remember if I paired it from the PDA or the PC. But everything works - also the GPS - so I guess it's simply a question on fidling with it.
Exactly... I'll play with it and see how to get the most out of it without messing it up.
Hi,
at first: i already did a hard reset... didnt help.
so to the topic: when i am syncing my device with active sync everything works fine. then i disable bluetooth on the touch dual.
after doing this, i cant enable it again, whether in the connection manager nor in the settings table for bluetooth. it spends 10-20 seconds with doing anything but then jumps back to "off". then i have to restart my touch dual and after that i can enable bluetooth normally --- till i sync the next time.
has anybody got a clue, why this is happening?
has anybody the same problem?
no ideas? anyone?
lastpush for today, its midnight now here in germany ;-)
good night
I too have a similar problem like yours all of a sudden I can no longer sync with bluetooth properly for some bizzare reasons it connects and it just hangs can't do anything i.e browse files or tranfer on dual however it works fine via USB but with bluetooth it has mind of it's own it just work now and then, sometimes I have to wait at 20 minutes for it to sync properly weird
Tried everything re-boot, re-paired the device, system restore, did hard reset on dual, re-installed WMDC 6.1 even to the point downgraded to WMDC 6.0 still now joy!!!
Can't fathom what's wrong!! it was working fine couple days ago did not install any new apps on my laptop and I have a Microsoft Bluetooth stack as it's well know that WMDC has issues with other bluetooth stacks i.e. toshiba, widcomm etc... this WMDC is driving me nuts!!!!
Any tips would be appreciated I'm almost giving up! getting used to the old fashioned USB sync.
Running Vista Ultimate if that helps!
i will get a new touch dual on saturday or monday next week. i then can tell you, if its a problem with the touch dual or with the pc you connect to..
but for testing you could try to send some big files over bluetooth from your touch dual to another bluetooth phone.
I've got some problems just with the Toshiba BT drivers on my laptop... it seems that the Serial Port Profile is not recognized as "Active sync" connection in the BT device manager on the Dual. I have to change the serial port in Active Sync on the laptop (to a wrong one), change again to the right port (com7) and then refresh the services for my laptop in the BT device manager on my phone. After that the sync works again...
I've tried with Microsoft BT drivers and it works fine ! Somethimes i have to stop BT on both pc and Dual, and start it again....dunno why...
I've reinstalled the Toshiba BT drivers because on my laptop with M$ drivers i can't able to shutdown the BT device... so i have to switch the com port and refresh the services everytime.... a little bit tricky but it works...
Regards,
Raid.
well but in my htc touch dual i cant swith bluetooth on after syncing *g*
i always have to soft reset
is there any registry trick or something i could try?
Bluetooth issues here, too!
Please advise if this is a known feature.
I only got my Touch Dual yesterday. So far seems a great device. However, I can not get it to turn on the bluetooth at all!
Everytime I try it says bluetooth error!
I can't pair with anything at all.
Many thanks for any help.
well now we are four people with the same problem...
I think we have to wait till the first rom update, or a custom rom...
I emailed HTC support - their suggestion is that I try a hard reset - not done yet.
If no luck with the reset then it might be an electronics issue! If so it will be a discussion with Orange to get fixed.
I will update you on progress...
Well, I can confirm, as expected that the Hard Reset did nothing at all!
A new phone is on its way to me apparently...!
i have same problem with you..i had hard reset but bluetooth still did'nt work...i had hardSPL, change radio and ROMs but the problem still exist...
Just tried a few latest windows 6.1 roms and found out that my bluetooth headset (I tried a few) is not asking for passcode anymore (it used to ask to enter "0000"). On one hand - it's a cool feature saving you time and efforts to pair your devices. On the other hand- it's quite dangerous. Just imagine somebody near you (while you're having lunch) is playing with bluetooth on the laptop and connects to your phone without you knowing it. Potentially, he can download all your info from the phone. No good!
I was thinking that it maybe something wrong with my bluetooth or the ROM on the phone. But after I did a quick search here, it appears that Windows 6.1 has this neat feature of "automatic cycling of the standard passcodes" during pairing process. Is there any fix to this security breach? Or maybe I'm not getting it quite right?
well i still havent paired my headset with my pdacorner v23 NonRBSN rom but if you go to comm manager, hit settings, the click on bluetooth. On the tab Security there should be a box that says authentication passkey required. i dont know if thats bluetooth or infrared....but im sure its bluetooth.
Hope that works.
With all the wm 6.1's I've used it appears to only work with BT headsets... GPS and other BT devices need a key....
Cheers...
If that's so - it's good. I'll experiment with bluetooth dongle on my PC.
I have a problem with file transfer using bluetooth.
I recently unstalled the latest stock HTC WM6.5 rom for my Diamond 2.
Then I tried to add a A2DP headset to my laptop, and to do this had to install a new Broadcom BT driver to my laptop.
After loading the new BT driver to the laptop I had to re-pair my phones (the Diamond and a Samsung E2550 standard phone).
After re-pairing both phones I find I can transfer files from both phones to the laptop, and I can transfer files from the laptop to the Samsung.
However when I try to transfer files to the Daimond, I get an error on the laptop saying 'No Service'.
In the laptop BT 'Services' I notice that one of the services for the Samsung is 'File Transfer(Obex)', but this does not appear in the services list for the diamond.
Has anyone any ideas how I get this to work. How can I get 'File Transfer (Obex) working on the Diamond?
NOTE: File transfer worked on the Diamond before I upgraded the rom on the phone and the BT driver on the laptop.
2nd NOTE: File transfer between the Samsung and Diamond works OK - still not transferring from PC to Diamond though
Thanks.

Touch Tools has an option to "Enable OBEX File Transfer Service":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683951
Would be nice to here about, if this works for you.
Thanks Braunie - but the problem is not with the enabling in the registry, the correct entry is already there
; Enable Bluetooth OBEX file transfer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex]
"IsEnabled"=dword:00000001

So the problem is more sinister than that.
So any assistance sorting this would be greatly appreciated.
It appears that the problem is not the phone - its the laptop.
To get an A2DP driver for my bluetooth headset I had to install the Widcomm bluetooth driver as A2DP is not supported in Win 7 or Acer blutooth drivers.
I uninstalled the widcomm driver and the standard Acer bluetooth driver works - I can transfer files to the phone again.
So I'm back to square one - use the standard driver and have no A2DP, or use Widcomm and lose the ability to transfer files to the phone.

Live could be so easy if some software-developers would think a step further.
The main contender for problems appears to be Microsoft.
For some reason they have never bothered to tidy up their bluetooth drivers - even though they push both PC and Mobile versions of Windows. Another example is that I cannot connect to my HTC using Bluetooth in Windows Mobile Device Centre - even though I have set the bluetooth as enabled in WMDC.
From the posts on various forums etc it appears that a lot of people have similar problems to mine with A2DP, as well as other general issues with standard bluetooth drivers.
I will keep hunting around to try and find a bluetooth stack that resolves both my issues in one driver - don't hold out much hope though.

With A2DP I have no experience. But I think Windows Mobile has still a better bluetooth-support than android or so. As example rSAP-support for the handsfree in my car works perfect. This means that my HTC TD2 automatically connects to my car, the radio of my TD2 will be disabled because the handsfree has its own. The phone-book will automatically synchronised with the handsfree.
By the way; the bluetooth-connection with activesync (WinXP) works with no problems for me.
Wish you good luck on your "quest" ...

I have no problems with the mobile.
Bluetooth on the Diamond II recognises the A2DP headset, and other hands free headsets, pairs and sends files to the laptop and ends/recieves files from other phones - all good.
It appears to be a problem with Win 7 on the laptop which gives the grief.
I had no problem using bluetooth in Activesync on XP, the problems arose with the introduction of Windows Mobile Device Centre in Vista and Win7.

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I'm having problem with my bluetooth. I'm running android version 2.3.4 on SD (HD2 Leo). I've got no problem running it on wm.
Despite setting it to discoverable, I can't detect other devices or pairing with them neither can others find me. I can't use my bluetooth headset and whenever I want to receive files from another party, I would need to switch the phone back to WM so that I can receive via bluetooth transfer
Appreciate your kind advice. thanks!
You need to make your phone to be discovered. Setinngs. Wireless. Bluetooth settings.
to receive files from other phones you need to have FTP connection enabled, in sense it's easily done. in none-sense I haven't been able to make it work manually, but some apps like "bluetooth file transfer" do it conveniently.
try that out
it would be better if you pair with the device you want to receive files from, that means set the other device to discoverable, do a search for devices, then pair with that device. it's not mandatory, but since you might be connecting with several OSs this way is 100% working.
thank you for the replies
"bluetooth file transfer" really does the job! Without it, I can't even pair with another device. My laptop is able to search for the HD2 but can never make any connection with it.
yes that's common,
enable FTP in the app settings just in case it isn't.
if you're using a sense build/rom then it won't work.. the workaround is to connect your phone to the laptop your phone can search and see the laptop's bluetooth, and you can access shared folders on it through BT file transfer app
unfortunately i'm using a sense rom i will try that method of connecting it to the laptop. thanks!
I like sense better than anything else, so I can live with that small issue
