Hi All,
New here and first and my first Android headunit (Dodge 2009 Ram truck).
Purchased this unit ebay.com/itm/282734637463 on ebay Hizpo using android 7.1.
Got it and installed. While it came with no install directions, it was straight forward and went in easily. First off would like to say the quality and what does work I really like. But, I really purchased it to have Bluetooth in my truck. Being purchasing a new headunit versus adding Uconnect to stock radio, thought this was the better value.
I am having problems getting Bluetooth and WIFI to discover any of the phones I have tried (apple and android phones). After 50+ atemps Bluetooth and WIFI discovery and connection was successful only twice and only once lasted as long as about 8 minutes then failed and no longer able to see bluetooth devices again. This was on achieved after going into factory settings and changing BT adapter to No rebooting and then changing adapter setting in factory settings back rebooting. That is when it worked, but as I mentioned for a very short time and would have to go through the same process all over again for discovery and connection to only be short lived.
Have bee in contact with the ebay seller. They have been very little help. He did send me an update of which I tried to install. After I plugged USB in it found the update and reboots but on black reboot screen almost immediately I get just Error! message then reboots and tells me would I like to retry. Again after many attempts same results will not update.
Needless to say seller now making very dificult to return. If I can find a solution I really like the radio and would like to keep but being the main reason I bought for Bluetooth if I can not get it to work a $300.00 dollar waste of money.
I am hoping it is a firmware issue and can be corrected.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I go into bluetooth and search for my devices on my Omnia 7 but it seems to be stuck on Searching when I try and search for my MW600. Anyone experienced anything similar?
So far I have tried it with a couple of different headphones from SE and Plantronics but still no joy...
Jag har precis samma problem som dig med samma headset plus att min hörlursingång verkar glappa
Exactly the same problem, bluetooth worked for about a month but the quality was terrible. As time went by it got harder to pair with the car and now it just sits there searching...
I have the same issue, struggling with a lot of Bluetooth problems at the moment. I also have a MW600!
I can get it to pair with the MW600 if I turn WiFi off. After pairing it seems to work fine with WiFi back on.
With various power cycles, entering and leaving flight mode etc. I can get it to see some devices. Can't get it to pair with my car kit though no matter what I do, and that's the only thing I really want to pair it with.
It seems to be a common issue with Samsung Omnia 7s and Focuses. There is a blog post that google finds where a guy took his phone back and swapped it for another one, which then worked with all the devices his original didn't. One of the commentors then declared that upgrading the firmware to JK1 also sorted the issue. I promptly did this, voiding any chance I had of taking the device back to get a new one. It didn't work, so I'm stuck. The commentor has since come back and said it didn't fix the issue. Thanks for that .
I have an MW600 and I use it with no problems at all. Works perfectly. I have it paired with both my Samsung Omnia 7 and my old Sony Ericsson W610i.
The first pairing took me a while (some pairing codes blah blah), but after that, it's been really smooth. Just switch on bluetooth and the MW600 and they are automatically connected.
Of course, the song name etc does not show up on MW600's display -- I think that's restricted to Sony phone (my old W610i does that perfectly!).
Hope this helps.
I believe based on other peoples experiences there is a Bluetooth hardware problem with early examples of the Omnia 7. You probably have a later one where everything is fixed.
Oh and the reason the MW600's display doesn't show any info is because WP7 only supports version 1.0 of the AVRCP profile, so track info is not transmitted. I've used the MW600 with my old HTC Diamond and Touch Pro2 and got the track info to display. I'm hoping the profile will be updated by Microsoft at some point.

Well, I jsut got a new 16 GB version last week and I have bluetooth problems as well. even after Nodo they still exist. I have a Parrot Minislim kit and my phone will find it and try to connect. I enter the PIN and hit "done" . It then tries to connect but doesnt. AM bringing it to a service centre tomorrow and will see what they do there.

Well, I brought it to the Carphone Warehouse who are the service agents for Samsung and guess what , they cannot send it back for repair because they have no "PLU" in their system for this model citing that they do not offer it in their catalogue. They have told me this 2 weeks after I left in in with them. Now, I have got to get it back from them and send to Samsung myself. Like others here I must have an early model because it is doing the same things, sometimes connecting to my Parrot MiniSlim kit and sometimes not. I bought a 16GB version from Germany because I wanted an unbranded and unlocked version with this amount of memory.
HI, recently moved from iPhone4 to the Arc and love every bit of it...except the bluetooh pairing with my car's (Audi Q7 2G MMI) handsfree.
Pairing is intermittent and even when it's paired, the connection seems to drop off within seconds.
Does anyone else have the same problem especially with Audis?
Generally, they do that until the phone book transfers across - i know that's the case for the RNS-E. I have a RS4, did it all the time when I first got it with my Blackberry (had 2500 contacts). Just leave the car on accessory with the phone in the garage. I couldn't stand the dong noise everytime it connected disconnected.
Could be worse, I just got the AT&T branded Samsung Focus, it won't even connect with the bluetooth in my Audi or my wife's RR.

Thanks for the reply mate. When I did manage to pair them up, I could see all my contacts on the MMI's display previously. It's only recently that thsi connect/disconnect issue happened and it has certainly gotten worse today where I couldn't even hold a pair for more than 5 seconds.....
In that case - no idea.
Try deleting it on the phone and pairing again? Seems like a strange one.

Did that as well. Tried restarting, deleting and repairing - still no joy.
may have to flash my phone and try again as a last resort....sigh...
have you tried contacting Audi to see if there is a firmware update for the car?
There is a chance even of the car is brand new the software version the phone\ stereo system is using is a few years old.
Just a thought.

hey thanks for the reply. Yeah thought about that too and that's an avenue which i may explore with audi.
having said that, the condition has improved somewhat...it's still intermittent but at leeast it's now 'stickier'. What I did was I uninstalled the last 5 applications that I put in prior to the this happening and it worked.
No idea why.
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.
I have 3 main devices that I pair to my phone via bluetooth: watch/lg tone/car
The watch stays paired with no issues, but the watch is having issues swapping from the lg tones to the car and vice versa.
Anyone found a remedy for this?
As of now, I have to go into the bluetooth settings of the one I don't want to use and deselect media/phone, then go to the other and select media/phone. And even sometimes this takes multiple times to work.
My previous phone (gs7) had no issues swapping from the two.
Hi,
Did you get a solution ? I face the same problem and can't find any solution...
Just to clarify, when you are in your car and want to connect to it, the headphones are turned off, correct?
Having similar issues... Every time I try to connect to my car (stock Subaru WRX), I have to manually connect and it takes several attempts before it connects. Once it connects it usually doesn't drop though. Very frustrating...

It's not in my car but with the bluetooth device of my motorcycle helmet. The reference is ncom bluetooth kit 3. I have to connect it manually and it takes several attempts before it connects. Sometimes it doesn't connect at all....
I have 2 headset Plantronics Backbeat Pro and Plantronics Backbeat Fit. They both work flawlessly
My Huawei Watch also works.
But my Nokia 616 Car kit wont connect at all.
And my motorcycle hemlet bluetooth kit, Cardo scala rider PACKTALK, connects, but the audio is slowed down to about 80 percent?
Same thing here.
I have been facing problems with a Sony SBH52 Headset and with my Opel Corsa E, stock infotainment system.
It gives me a hard time connecting but when it does it's stable.
I had the same with my gen 1 Moto 360 but after a factory reset to the watch and a reboot it's stable.

I had the same issue with my TSX. I did some research and cleared the cache. Worked like a charm afterwards. Did not have the issue one week since doing that

Ahem, I seem to be unable to find bluetooth in my app settings. Can you please give me a hint?
It's been driving me crazy these days with my SBH-52 and I want to try this too.
Thanks!
P.S.
I'll also give it a shot with a plantronics pro headset I have to see if it does the same.
Bluetooth profiles implementations, even though they passed certification, are not always made equal! So don't end up pulling your hair if a certain BT device doesn't play nice with another.
Just as an example... Head Unit X had big issues with the initial contacts sync, right after pairing with Samsung phones (already known to sometimes play around some other standards). It would only work after several reconnects. After several weeks of debugging (poor development guys) and reproduction test (poor testing guys) it was concluded that it is a phone issue caused by some wrong timing delays in the process of exchanging information between the HU and the phone. Samsung was informed and the ticket was internally closed.
I have similar problem with Bluetooth Earbuds. Phone simple doesn't "see" the Earbuds. But strange - it can see other Bluetooth devices and other devices can see Earbuds.
I'm sure this is a OnePlus 5 software problem.
Version OxygenOS 4.5.10
i have somhow issue as urs, i have Bluetooth pad lock and android watch, it sometimes connected and sometimes not, i do believe its software issue, im on 4.5.11
Yes, it is strange. After some restarts and on/offs connection suddenly appears
I have an Atoto S8, and this is my first Android powered head unit (coming from their linux-based F7, which was more of an appliance UI instead of a smart OS). I love the extra functionality it gives me, running apps and video players directly on the unit. But Bluetooth support is wonky.
My wife and I share the car, and ever since swapping to the Android powered unit, it only reconnects to whoever drove last. So if I drive the car all the time, its fine. But when my wife drives, she says bluetooth isn't working, so I have to go into settings on the BT app (BT1 as they call it) and see the three phones listed as paired (my old phone, my new phone and my wife's phone), and click on hers. Wait a bit, and then she is good to go. But then next time I drive, I realize my phone isn't connecting now, so I have to go do it again. Which means she's going to complain next time that her phone isn't working again.
I've installed a few bluetooth powered head units before, and even the Android Auto supporting F7 before this one, worked as expected: If the last device isn't available, try to connect to another recent paired one. It seems to just get stuck on the last one for some reason. Is this a limitation of how bluetooth works on these units?
have you solved this issue
i am finding it very frustrating
i thought i would solve it using the app "automate"
this would star a sequence of checks and sytematic attempted connections
but, oddly enough you cant automate the triggering o fthe flow
so it would only start if actioned
Yes, or rather THEY solved it.
Reach out to customer support. There is an update to the Bluetooth module that makes this work the way I described.
I got an A6pf in my other car and had them make an update for that one too. Much happier now.
