I connect my phone to my deck via bluetooth for music. When the car is off and I walk away, every time I get or make a call the phone interface is still on the bluetooth car mode. This means that its automatically on speaker phone and the screen does not turn off when you put the phone to your ear. For the love of god I have no idea why anyone thinks its a good idea to have annoying features like this that seem impossible to turn off (car mode cannot be "turned off" like other stock apps) and then prevent us from getting root to get rid of this crap.
I would like some help on this though. How to keep bluetooth on and not have it automatically go into a car mode phone interface. Thanks.
I still haven't figured out what this is after about a 35 minute round of google searches. The screen I'm seeing is one with huge buttons that are comprised of "end call" bluetooth" and "speaker". Can't bring up number pad either. I can SS if needed.
This is what the screens look like. This isn't the normal S5 calling screens, right? Still trying to figure this out.
Started happening to me. I turned on car mode, went to settings, unchecked to automatically start when connected to Bluetooth, and turned car mode off. Solved the problem for me.

Is there any way to force the hermes to keep bluetooth turned on? Mine turns itself off whenever it feels like it. Perhaps a small app that runs every time power button is pressed to check and enable bluetooth? Fed up of my hands free kit not working cos the bluetooth has turned off again...

I have the same issue with mine. Has anyone replied to you with a fix? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Mine too... a right pain in the arse when you've started driving and realise the car kit isn't connected. For now its worth keeping the 'Wireless' on the today screen just to keep an eye on the BT status!
Hello Together,
I have/had the same problem. Now I have the Jetware BT (http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm) stack on my MDA Vario II. With this stack the BT is more stabe. Not complete but better and the audio quality with hands-free devices is better. With this program you can create shotcuts to turn BT on and off and these shortcuts you can assign to your hard buttons. So you can quickly turn on BT when you recognize that BT is off.
Hope that helps
Greetings Pudl
I am looking for a tweak or registry fix/setting to help me with the following problem:
On my parrot bluetooth car kit in headset mode after a call is finished the phone stays on. This is not a problem if you finish a normal call without handsfree because you switch it off manually but when you are driving with the phone in your pocket, the phone is liable to screen presses. I have been inadvertently creating/editing contacts and making notes with the phone in my pocket after use in the car.
The screen autopower off does work if the screen is not activated for a few minutes but the inadvertent screen presses occur within this timeframe.
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
I have a similar problem when using my bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200)…
When I make a call using the headset the screen stays active, and if I turn it off during a call it turns it self on again after the call has ended. Not fun if it’s in my pocket and it decides to call someone back without me knowing.
Is there a general setting or fix that disables the screen when you answer or make a call with the headset active?
Have you found any solution to this?

Nope, not yet…
I can’t believe that there aren’t a lot more people with this problem!? It’s a REALLY STUPID problem to have on such an advanced phone like the Blacksone when nearly EVERY basic mobile phone has this feature since the dawn of BT headsets.
This might leave me no other choice than to retire my beloved Blackstone and dig up my old Samsung phone so that I can drive my car safely with my phone in my pocket…
There is an app called Touch InCall Screen Tweak. With that you can configure so that screen will go off quickly when answering and ending calls and bluetooth headset is used. It works great for me!

I actually tried that app yesterday but didn’t get it working as I wanted. How did you configure it?
I guess I can try it again – would be great if it works!
Well, now I can make a call without worrying about it to end (with the InCall Touch app), but when the call is ended we're back making random calls without knowing to whom.
This amazes me, how this feature can be missing. It’s not something I admit to my iPhone friends who still tries to find something that Blackstone can’t do – cuz this even works on the iPhone!
I'll try tweaking till I or someone else can find a solution to this rather embarrassing problem.
I had this problem with my G2 as well. Every time I have bluetooth on and then go to turn it off, it causes the phone to reset.
I have tried different combinations of control to try and differentiate what might be the cause. GPS on and off, Wi-Fi on and off etc..None of those seem to matter. Just whenever I turn off bluetooth the device resets.
Any ideas? Maybe something that will be addressed in a future bug fix update.
Nobody having the same issue? No ideas?

Just tried mine - does not reboot (mine is temp rooted - should not make any difference).
UPDATE - i also connected a headset first.
I suppose I should clarify the circumstances so testing might be quicker.
If I simply turn bluetooth on and off there is no issue. But when I connect a headset and use as normal, if I turn bluetooth off it reboots the phone. I had the exact same issue with my G2 as well.
Yup, my MT4G does this as well. It's somewhat random, it only happens when I'm disconnecting the BT in some fashion but not every time.
This past time I still had the BT headset connected, all I did was end a (voip w/ csipsimple) call that was over the BT. Just closing the audio channel was enough to kill it.
I'm using a jawbone icon, are you using an aliph headset as well?
Happened to me on my G2, my MT4G should be here tomorrow. It doesn't happen every time, I'm looking for the cause and take note of what I was doing or what app was open when it happens.
I'm using a Motorola Roadster.
I've been unable to determine the common denominator so far... The only thing that is constant when this happens is I have the Car Home app set to open and activate dock mode whenever my Motorola Roadster Bluetooth Speakerphone connects to my phone.
Anybody else have this setting configured??
Agh, I thought it was only me and only when I was using a SIP soft phone connected to Trixbox... hmmm

Happened to me once also, but also had two other restarts without the bluetooth being involved. I don't think I like this phone.
I called TMobile about it and they just told me to do a complete reset on the phone. I figure I'd try that in case the 2.2->2.2.1 OTA caused something to be messed up but it didn't make a difference.
I have noticed that when it is going to reboot, the "Bluetooth headset disconnected" message doesn't appear when I turn off the headset. The phone continues to work for a few seconds with the bluetooth connected icon still showing (the dots on the side of the BT icon) then it reboots.
hah2110 mentioning sip got me thinking.
I had sipdroid running in the background... I've disabled it and so far haven't been able to reproduce the reboots. With it on I can cause the reboot after two or three disconnects with both a Jawbone Icon and a Blueant Z9.
To be clear, with sipdroid running I can reproduce the reboots *without* actually placing any calls with sipdroid, but with it completely off the phone has been stable.
Interesting... SipDroid does say BT is experimental. I always figured it was problematic because it is using different protocols. Basically [in my mind at least], you are trying to "pretend" that the phone is on a phone call when it is really just using data and other resources of the phone all combined to seem like a phone call. I've had other issues with volume (ringer vs. in-call) when using SIP clients because of that very reason. 3CX supports bluetooth but doesn't flag it as experimental.

The OP was posting a problem, not an inquiry.
So, after some hunting and tweaking I seem to have found at the very least an answer (maybe).
After rooting the phone I seem to not be having the issue of bluetooth causing reboots after it is turned off. Not sure what that means but I have tried to replicate the problem and have been unable to so far.
Ok I have been experiencing the same issue.
However this is my situation.
I never experienced this until I installed Bluetooth Audio Widget.
A handy app that routes all audio to the BT headset, so you can listen to music on your mono headset. They do state that in all froyo versions it has a known issue where if you shut the headset off before disabling BT it will cause a reboot.
I have used the app for several months knowing this and not having a problem with that glitch. However after awhile it became an issue where it would reboot regardless of the order that you would shut them off.
And all that took place ONLY after enabling the widget.
In just the past week+ it has now been causing the reboot issue no matter what.
It will now reboot regardless of my enabling the widget or not.
Walk out of range of the phone with the headset enabled and it causes a reboot.
Turn off the headset-reboot
turn off BT-reboot
This used to only take place AFTER I had enabled the Bluetooth Audio Widget.
It was an acceptable glitch when it was just caused by the widget.
Now it's become unacceptable.
This is on a stock MT4g non rooted.

Hi guys, just wondering if there is any possible to shut down the phone function (incoming/outgoing), while keeping bluetooth on.
At this moment, the only way is the put it in "Flight Mode". Reason being, if I am using a bluetooth headphone in flight, I won't be able to utilize my bluetooth function. This happens to me (the phone ring), when I was about to land without switching my phone off, while listening to music with bluetooth headphone.
Do let me know if you have widget or ways to shut the phone down without activating flight mode. Thanks.

The 'no sim' icon is annoying, and I have to believe that the phone is sucking power...

Whenever I connect to one of my Bluetooth devices it shows that it's "Connected to xxxxx" in the secondary screen.
However, after I disconnect from the Bluetooth device it still says its connected in the secondary screen and the secondary screen just hangs there frozen saying its connected. I can only get rid of it by restarting the device.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm experiencing this issue. I think it started happening after applying the latest update.
to fix it w/o restarting the device, you can go to settings - display - second screen and turn off 'show when main screen on' and back on.
I have this and all kinds of BT issues with my car.
Bluetooth has given me a lot of problems. Secondary screen stuck displaying the "connected" message, Bluetooth crashing, and high CPU usage when not connected. I've had better experience by toggling Bluetooth off and on with Tasker after disconnecting from my car. Figure it gives it a kick causing it to play nice.

So it's not just me having bluetooth issues lately. I was getting ready to drop by AT&T because of all the problems it''s been giving me lately connecting to things on bluetooth...
Mine has recently started doing the same thing with second screen stuck on connected to vehicle Bluetooth. I do remember updating recently so I am unsure what cause this issue. I am using stock with ATT

I tried this trick and it only works temporarily. After an hour or so the same connection message will appear even though I'm not connected. So annoying. Come on LG! I like their devices but there is always some annoying issues with their phones.
Are you guys also experiencing general notification issues?
Example, I click on a Twitter or Kijiji notification and the app won't open or I can't respond within the notification shade any more.

I'm wondering if this is the cause of everyone else's bluetooth/notification issues. Worth a shot.
Ever since I upgraded to 10K from 10J on T-Mobile it has started doing this. Once I am connected I never have a problem with Bluetooth but connecting has been inconsistent ever since upgrading. My car stereo for example used to connect automatically now to get it to reconnect I have to turn off the stereo and the Bluetooth radio on my phone and then both back on @ same time otherwise I have to manually connect through the phone BT menu
Been having issues with bluetooth too. I've gotten into the habit of just turning it off after I get out of the car, then turning it on right before I get back in the car. If I leave it on all the time it fails to connect about half the time I turn on the car, if not more. Strangely I don't have the same issue with my Anker speakers, so I sort of assumed the car was the problem, but it seems not from these comments

This seems to have fixed it for me! I had the same issue after updating my phone to the latest build.

Same exact issue. It only seems to happen to my car stereo since I upgraded to 10K. But my other speakers and headsets 99% of the time it will connect by itself.
Same issue here. Super annoying. Appears to have shown up around the same time that all my notifications stopped working.
I've been having the same issue. I use Car Home Ultra, and noticed that it was very delayed starting, and would start randomly even after leaving my car/disconnecting bluetooth. I thought it was a problem with that app, but now it appears it's that the phone is delayed in notifying of bluetooth connect/disconnect.
I constantly have the "connected" notification taking up the second screen until I reboot.
I am experiencing this aswell, and , when connecting to my SYNC 3 in my Ford Focus, it says connected, but it isn't. If someone rings me, the hand set rings.
It seems to be the initial handshake, if the phone's bluetooth is off when i turn car on, then i turn blutooth on and select "sync 3" it's all good, but if bluetooth is already on , and i switch car on , i get the message on the radio it's connected to my phone... but i cant access contacts or messages ( even though they are ticked in bluetooth menu )...
lucky for the 2 year warranty...
Disabling the Google app has fixed this issue and fixed my push notifications. Not ideal but doesn't appear any other answer exists.
Anybody have any updates on this issue? I have been having the connected message showing more frequently to my vehicles. I have been turning off second display and back on to remove. Thanks for the suggestion Adam about disabling Google app but like you said it is not ideal.
So on Verizon they just pushed a system update. Post update, I enabled Google app, and everything appears to be working great thus far.
I don't remember when but the issue just kind of went away without any action on my part. Maybe it was an update?
