Hi All,
I bought a new car this weekend (fiat 500) and it came with the Microsoft Blue&Me Bluetooth connection. When I first got the car, I was running an CM9 build and the SMS reader wouldn't work so I went back to the rooted stock rom and it still didn't work. The phone connects, pulls my contacts, and works remarkably well to make and receive calls.
According from a list from Fiat, not many phones are compatible with with the SMS system (not even iPhone!). It looks like an old list but the only htc phone that it says is compatible is the Desire. I was thinking I might be able to get it to work with a Desire rom but I am having trouble finding one. I get too many results when I search the development forum because many of the older sense roms are ports from the desire but not the desire rom (for example, the revolution rom is a port of the sensation xl rom for desire).
Does anybody know of a desire rom offhand? I was thinking there might be one available from the old days when people wanted to upgrade from the stock mysense rom.
It is a long shot but does anyone know of a ROM that will work with the Microsoft in car system?
Thanks!

Okay I am running KiNgxKxROM_v2.3 and the only thing Im missing is my bluetooth... Does anyone have a fix for it or recommend me another ROM that has the HTC Widgets?
Also what's the lastest and coolest ROMs for MT3G?
There isnt a hero rom out that has bluetooth working currently
This is not entirely true - I have tried Maxismas hero rom and got the bluetooth working - but! - I could not make a call. It hangs, goes into silence and simply does not work.
You can find it here: http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_release_display.asp?releaseid=87
maybe you'll have a better luck. Hero roms are so cool
I'm tryin to use my phone in my car using the build-in handsfree device (BMW 3-series). Sometimes it works but most times the car looses the pairing after a few minutes. After that the connection is only possible when I switch bt off and on again. But then again a pairing is not possible. I already used the phone with Android successfully in the car but only once or twice.
I used several sense-builds with a variety of different kernels such as mdjs and hastarin. I also changed the connection value in the bluetooth main.conf from 7 to 15 but without any success.
What can cause a problem like this where a connection is possible only for minutes but is working sometimes like expected?
Has anyone a similar problem with a Bluetooth headset?
Thanks for your help.
======================== SOLUTION ========================
Finally I found out, that it has nothing to do with radio ROMS, nothing with the WiMo-ROM nor with the Android itself. The failure lies in the sync between android and Outlook. One of my contacts included more then 80 telephonenumbers (3 particular numbers many times) what crashed the pairing between my car and the phone. I just deleted the contact and re-added it manually. Further I stopped the sync with Outlook and now only sync appointments of the calendar...

Really no help for me...
I've got the Fiat Blue & Me system in by Abarth, it has similar problems to the one you're having in the BM, if I'm right in thinking that the Bluetooth stack is part of the radio ROM then trying a few different radio versions should help. I've found one that's fairly stable but still unpairs itself occationally. it's Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 running on mdee jay Evo Sense Evolution with hastarin's 8.1 kernel.
Updating the radio ROM didn't help. I could make one single call but after that it began losing pairing again. That's so sad because everything else is working pretty good so far.

I own a BMW 320d E90 and i have no problem with BT pairing.
I use the Androide 1.5 build done by Crazy_Cbr in htcmania.com (a spanish forum), with Radio 2.15 and Official Kernel #127.
Maybe your BT device needs a firmware update if your Serie 3 model is old. I have heard that you can update it in your BMW dealer, but not sure as far as i haven't needed to do it.
Greetings! (and sorry for my english)
Thank you... I have a 2010th E92 so I think the firmware is no problem. Furthermore the Version 1.5 is pretty old. I had this one with my G1 phone and was not very pleased. I also need Sense which is - afaik - not available for 1.5. Why do you not use a 2.x version?

This build is based in 2.2 but his name is "Androide 1.5", the point is that is a Senseless one...
Anyway i guess the problem is not in the build. Does BT work fine with WM?
Yes it worked pretty well with WM what brings me to the point isolating the problem on the hacked Android builds. Perhaps it'll work in the future.
@Nandeh: Which ROM Version do you use for your HD2 device (Radio ROM, WM-ROM and HSPL)???

I found out that the bluetooth pairing is stable as long as I don't have any phone numbers saved in my phone. Any ideas?
Any updates on this?
I have a 2005 1-series. First I was running WM 6.5 on my HD2 and never had problems connecting to the handsfree built in to the car. Then I installed tytungs NexusHD 2.9 NAND ROM (Android 2.3.5). After this, I can pair with the car, but the connection keeps dropping out and then reconnecting with some random intervals between maybe 3 seconds and half a minute.
I have tried to edit audio.conf and audio_pairing.conf, and also an earlier version of audio.so with no luck.
I really don't want to get a different ROM, as I really like the one from tytung.

I have a HD2 Running stock build ROM but with CHT 2.0 and it's an awesome phone, love the fact that it is so customisable and despite WinMo 6.5 being discontinued it lives on with huge amounts of effort being poured into developing and porting....I am seriously considering flashing a NAND android ROM onto it instead of WinMo but have one BIG Problem!
Whilst trawling the threads ( and reading a million ' thanx' posts) well deserved I might add, I cannot find any comment or info anywhere as to whether flashing the HD2 to Android retains or removes the phones SAP/RSAP connectivity I have a 2010 VAG car and it uses the RSAP protocol and to be honest it is THE best handsfree in car solution I have ever used, ( and I have used most of them) very clear with great signal retention, as I use it for business I am loathe to lose it so you can all probably see my dilemma.....great OS or great handsfree.........anyone know the answer....it would be great if it does as R/SAP support is lacking on Android.......bar a website stating RSAP for android .....coming soon....HELP!!!!

Im not too sure about the specific SAP/RSAP, but using my bt widget to my trucks bt stereo works great.
Thanks for your reply but BT is different than RSAP, its a specific VAG Group, BMW and Mercedes type of Hands free, works brilliantly but the compatibility of the latest phones is none existant other than Nokia.....that's not a direction I want to be going in as from my experience Nokias are shocking quality in the software department.
Can no one offer any advice on this, the rSAP problem with decent compatible phones is a HUGE problem across europe, covering VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, BMW And Mercedes, there are loads of people looking for an answer to this?
Thanks in advance......
Cant think of a way of saying this without sounding like im being funny and i really dont mean to be but why dont you just flash a rom and try it and if it dont work flash back to winmo you can back up before you flash. Or try an SD version. (Dont mean to sound sarcastic)

[Q] rSAP & Android @HD2
Hello @ all
Excuse my bad English.
can someone help me install these files/app in to a SD Build?
w w w . android-rsap.com/installation.html
--> Step 1: Installing System Files
Thanks in advance
-----> the solution!!!
- rename original /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so to /system/lib/libhtc_ril.orig.so
- extract libhtc_ril.new.so from rsap-install.zip and copy to /system/libhtc_ril.so
alltho this thread is already a little old I still wanted to state, that the rSAP server developed by android-rsap.com is now fully working on the HD2 with only a few devices acting weird.I had it running on a MIUI build.
my problem tho is, that after flashing back to WinMo (stock or Duttys, doesn't make a difference) the rSAP function doesn't work with the VAG Premium any longer-it never connects, or if it does with a trick, it fails soon after.sometimes it freezes the hd2, sometimes it even freezes the premium...
re-flashing, task 29, mtty all didn't help. be warned people.it can seriously mess with your phone.
Did you try to flash back to stock? I have the same problem
My RCD510 didn't find my HD2. All other bluetooth devices around my were found
As I said, I tried everything but the car never connected properly to the HD2 again ever since using this rsap app. It must have left some weird connection settings in the car unit. I wanted to do a reset on that unit to test but I never managed. Now the car is sold and this thread obsolete until someone else comes up with this. Subject finished.

Hi Everyone,
Now that I have a shiny new HTC One X I am looking to repurpose my much loved HTC HD2. I think this will be the case for many people here so would like some ideas on how to best use my old HD2
I would like to run it as a music player/tablet much like an android based ipod touch or android tablet where there is no phone functionality or sim required only wifi connectivity.
Does anyone know of a ROM suited to this at all?
Currently without a valid sim and network I am unable to download apps from the play store.
Really it probably needs to be a rom based on a tablet i think....
Any ideas much appreciated.
I haven't tried this before, but you might give it a shot.
Just turn airplane mode on and use Market Enabler to stimulate a simcard.
If I decided to keep my HD2 after getting a new phone, I'd flash the lightest WM6.5 ROM I could find, probably one without Sense/GUI, and make it launch iGO on boot.
Unfortunately, WM6.5 iGO8 is still the best navigation piece of software, and with pinch-to-zoom hacks it works perfectly on HD2.
What about gaming? If you don't want gaming, then flash a WinMo or possibly WP7 ROM, but if you do want to use gaming as well then CM9/AOKP with HWA is definitely the way to go. Sense has the best music player app though, so maybe a GB Sense build would be good (I think one of them actually has HWA enabled too).
I going to go for keeping android on there i think.
I've set it up with a tune in radio widget which I can keep in synch with my phone and tablet.
Turning airplane mode on then the wifi back on sorts my network issues just fine too.
Market enabler works a treat to for O2 UK.
Now I just need to find a docking station for it so that it can sit happily alongside my stereo.
Cheers.
you could give SENSe ROM + Beats a try
music does sound a little better but that can be done also with other ROMS + enhancements apps.
Hello everyone!
I owned a HTC Shift back in 2008-2009, when it was a real marvel.
I recently bought another one, which has a few problems with the keyboard, but I use a portable one since I could not find a replacement anywhere.
I have another question now;
I am pretty sure that my original 2008 Shift, which was liberated, had the capability to make phone calls on the Windows mobile part. Not just send sms; I clearly remeber it had a dial pad like the one you find on mobile phones, and I could phone people and speak on it.
Not using Skype or bluetooth, but simply phoning - like a mobile phone.
I searched the internet, but could not find any information about this.
The device I own at present can just send sms, no dialpad, no phone calls...
Am I mistaken?
Is there a way for the HTC Shift to make phone calls?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Hi!
Your memory is correct. There are ROM and radio images that allow you to make calls from the Windows Mobile side of the HTC Shift.
From memory, headsets and headphones are not supported. So you either have to hold the HTC Shift to your head (which is probably very hipster these days), or enable speaker phone and then the phone functionaly is very usable.
The first ROM that supported phone functionality was called Radio ROM. It had versions 1 and 2, from around 2008-2009.
But you are better off installing full or light version of The Age of Beauty (I prefer the light version) ROMs and radios, as these were made later, around 2009. These ROMs also support GPS
These very xda forums contain threads pertaining to these ROMs. You'll find all the instructions within.
If you need the ROM files, just PM me. I'm out of practice in terms of actually flashing ROMs, but I kept all the files that are necessary.
