Bluetooth keeps losing pairing since O2 ROM Upgrade

Guys
Since the upgrade, everything has been working great, with the one exception that the bluetooth pairing with my BT car kit (Parrot CK3300) keeps dissapearing from the XDA.
It works for a few days (using TomTom 5) then it suddenly dissapears, and I have to set it all up again.
Any ideas?

they is quite a few of us in the same boat, i have tried a few things but am stump now just waiting for parrot to release a new firmware for the ck3300
Thanks

Try to upgrade Radio to 1.11 , it's responsible for BT too.

Has anyone any experience of this while using Radio 1.11?
This all worked fine until after the ROM upgrade, so is it likely that the Parrot will need an upgrade?
It works ok for a few days then the XDA suddenly bleeps when it tries to connect with the car kit, then there is a dialog box on the XDA screen asking for the passcode to pair up..., I've put the password in (1234), but it always fails... then thats it ... pairing lost
Any clues anyone... this is really starting to frustrate me :x

1.11 fixes it, but...
When I upgraded from the stock O2 ROM to the T-Mobile one, I found that when ever I switched off my GPS unit, I needed to re-pair it for it to work again. Upgrading to the 1.11 Radio Rom did fix this. Never had a problem with headsets.
But I've also been having some weird power problems - battery going down by 10%+ an hour. Mostly it turned out to be on days when I used wifi in the morning - I'm pretty sure using the new radio dialogue didn't actually switch off the wifi radio when you disconnected. 1.11 does fix that. But also sometimes switching off the phone didn't actually switch off that radio, and power would dissipate way too fast with nothing supposedly on. Doing a soft reset always allowed me to leave it over night and only see 1-2% power gone.
So I've just backed down to the original radio ROM from the original O2 installer. I'm hoping this will solve all my problems, at the cost of the less resilient changeovers from UMTS to GSM.
Ta,
Mark.

i think i have cracked this, my phone has now been connected to my ck3300 for 5 days solid now

i think i have it pegged have another look at the parrot forum
ok here is yet another update on things.... this is a very strange one. if you enable the device lock start\settings\personal\lock
Prompt if device is unused for 16.7 hours
set simple pin
the phone and the parrot device keep there pairing with no problem at all i have been testing it for the last 48 hours
if you disable the above it loses the paring straght the way.
strange is they anyone else who can try this
Thanks

I'm using a Parrot R N B, but I have experience the same problem. I have also upgrade to the new radio version, and again the same problem. In fact I can't reproduce the error in a controlled way. It happens from time to time. But more of the time, the Universal connect again to the parrot only assigning again the Parrot as the headset in the Bluetooth manager.
My try now was to install the buzznet.dev cab attached. I'm trying also what buzz said: Do not use the power button to put the Universal off, only close the lid.
I'have 2 days without problems with the parrot. I'll post an update if this also fail.

what parrot do you have? i have a ck3300 running version 1.14d if you can try the above trick and let me know... i could reproduce the error ever time, just connect up 3-4 times and then it would fail..... have not had to worry about the power button trick.

Mine is RHYTHM N'BLUE, and with this last trick I told you, I add a new day without problems. Today I have started and stopped the Parrot 6 times and always work perfectly.

Jasjam Bluetooth issues

Bluetooth switches off on our imate jasjam's we have at least 10 of them with this issue. When paired with a car kit they may receive a call through the kit then the next call through the device and when they check the device they find Bluetooth has turned off. To get it to re-enable they need to soft reset the device 3 times out of 5.
They are using 2 different brands of car kits.
After researching my bluetooth issues I found the 3518_09 fix for the imates bluetooth issues.
I have installed this patch on 6 or more imates and had mixed results. All of them were the latest official telstra jasjam rom. Some devices now have better connections to car kits with no bluetooth connection issues and a couple of them are now worse. The bluetooth radio switches off and then won't turn back on. If you reset the device then bluetooth will work again. Basically with or without this patch Bluetooth will switch off randomly on the imates. Some devices behaved better after the install and some worse. Frustrating.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Does Radio 1.41 help bluetooth issues at all?
Thanks

Radio 1.41 will not fix my bluetooth issues. I have read that much in the wiki

I also have this issue.
However it seems to be a problem either when I switch off the ignition with the phone in the car kit or remove / replace the phone on the car kit.
I didnt seem to have noticed an issue in the past month or so but since then its getting to be quite a pain. I have to go back into the comms manager and re-enable it most of the time.
I have an M3100
Operator Version 14.123.1.614
Rom Version 1.23.61.4
Rom Date 07/13/06
Radio Version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version 32.53.7018.01H
Thanks

Have updated my phone
Since running the latest Orange Updater file:
SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe from Orange website.
www.orange.co.uk/business/downloads/SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407.exe
This updated the firmware to:
Operator Version 14.211.1.611
Rom Version 2.11.61.1
Rom Date 03/23/07
Radio Version 1.38.00.01
Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
This seems to have fixed my bluetooth issues. Also the phone is running much faster.

thanks for the info. is it possible just to take the bluetooth drivers from one rom and use them in another? I see that the 3518_09.cab has a bluetooth driver in it (i assume that's what it is) so maybe that is one of the files to look for. any help?

I have extracted the files from the rom posted above. I am going to try replacing btagext.dll, bthuart.dll & serial_btur.dll.

BT drop off connection on trinity

Hi
Since I got my trinity I have a problem with car kit connection on my Audi BT.
It pairs ok and it drop off connection; 1 minute later it connects again, and cycle repeats after 3-4 min. I tried other phone and it doesn't do that. Any suggestion how to fix it?
Thanks

what is your radio version?
I know it's different matter, and maybe your problem is only a setting issue, but when I first bought my trinity and installed the last official HTC wm5 rom with GPS and 1.38... radio, the wifi connexion was awful.
Very unstable and dropping continuously the connexion.
By upgrading the radio, to 1.41... and later to 1.46.... it solved the problem.
So maybe you should upgrade the radio too.

BT connection
Hi
Thank you for input riri22
I have 1.50.08.11 radio. My understanding is that radio upgrade does not interfere with BT or WiFi, only upgrades the phone.

your understanding is wrong: the radio rom is interfering directly with the way the phone is running ALL communications channels:
GSM, GPRS, WIFI, BT etc.
It's like the communication drivers of the phone.
P.S.: but in your case, the radio file is up to date, unless your phone really has a hard-ware problem, which is quite rare, I guess it's a flashing problem, you should maybe try to reflash the two ROM to see if it makes any difference...
By the way:
which ROM are you running on your phone? This might be an important factor too...

Bluetooth reduces Touch HD battery life dramatically

I just last month purchased a Touch HD (Blackstone) which I've really enjoyed. And I paired it with my Bluetooth headset (Jabra BT5010) which was used to pair with my HTC p3300 Artemis.
Last month, every day my Blackstone’s battery life is just 10~12 hours between charging, even with no call and other usage. I thought maybe 3.8’ screen have drained much power.
Last morning, I happened to turn off Bluetooth function of Blackstone after a full charge. Then I find there is still 62% battery life remaining after 24 hours with average usage. That means the battery life could last for 3 days without Bluetooth turned on.
For sure, Bluetooth drains much power from my handset. But also I don't want to toggle the Bluetooth setting on/off every time I want to use Bluetooth headset? That would significantly cut into the convenience of this item. Is there some advice or is something my Blackstone misconfigured?
PS:
My Touch HD: Rom 1.57.831.1 (47324) WWE, Rom date 04/08/09. CE OS 5.2.20776 build 20776.1.4.9, radio 1.14.25.24, protocol 52.64.25.34U, Bluetooth 2.0/2.0+EDR
My Bluetooth headset: Jabra BT5010.
Bluetooth software: btIO v0.6

You can try to disable beam if you didn't already.
I keep BT always on and with average use my battery lasts about 2 days. I tried several cooked ROMs and battery life seems the same.

Do you mean go to start->settings->connections->beam, and uncheck "Receive all incoming beams."? I've disabled that, but the power is still leaking dramatically.
In "comm manager", there is no item about beam.
(just 7 items I have as following
Airplane Mode: off
Phone: on
Bluetooth: on
Wi-Fi: off
Microsoft Direct Push: off
Data Connection: off
3G: off)
Do anybody have any advice?
Thanks in advance

Radio FM

RADIO FM Works if:
Go to WM
Conect your headset ( I tested it with 2 headset with micro: Original HTC and sansung)
Start fm radio in WM
With FM radio on , run haret
Start radio fm in android.
You can heart the FM radio without 5 seconds sound problem.
If you use headset with micro you have stereo , if use normal headset you have fm radio mono.
Works well until next Phone restart.

thanks for the trick...did you notice if it consume more battery?

Not very much: After 75 ' using:
- Munjeni Rom with 169 updates
- Exchange with mail when it arrive
- Pop3 mail and gmail mail every 15'
- Run gps with voice every Km (The best software in my opinion to do Jogging)
- GPS ON
- FM radio ON
- Display off
Battery consume: 208 mH starting with 75 % and finishing with 56 %
After stopping GPS and Run GPS : 158 mH display 40%
Stopping FM Radio : 145 mH display 40%
For me very good results.
PD : The sound and reception are very good.
