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
here is the post on the parrot forum

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.

8525 Bluetooth disconnects with headset mid-call

Hi All,
I have been reading a lot of messages on both 8525 and 8125 trying to isolate the issue and there doesn't seem to be a straight asnwer anywhere and hence I am trying to get the attention of the users here...
I have a pioneer navigation system with a bluetooth built-in. My previous phone (blackberry) and my wife's treo650 both stay connected with car's bluetooth when on call (never a disconnect). But my new 8525 gets disconnected mid-call (usually after 2 to 5mins, but have also seen a disconnect within 1min). That is, it does pair with the car kit and when there is no call going on, the bluetooth connection never dies. This disconnect only happens mid-call, almost all the times.
I have the latest ROM (1,34.502...., radio: 1.16), got the phone about 2 weeks ago from Amazon.com. Called cingular and they say could be faulty phone and I have searched other forums like audi message board where their car kits are also having the same disconnect problem with 8525, so I doubt this is a single phone issue.
I have taken the 'band' hack and forced the phone to be in either GSM or WCDMA mode and in either modes, the phone still exhibits the same problem (there might not be any connection between the two at all, bluetooth with GSM/WCDMA, but thought there might be some weird connection...but not the case thankfully).
I read somewhere about some bluetooth tweaks on 8125, but never found what those were. I need some help here otherwise I am going to return the 8525 and stay away from it. I need the bluetooth to work efficiently.
thanks for all your help

please help
I really need some help, clue or direction on solving or at least isolating this bluetooth issue. I love the 8525 but if I cannot fix this bluetooth mid-call disconnect issue, I will unfortunately have to return, which I don't want.
What headsets the 8525 works fine with (no drops mid-call)? May be that is a starting point.
Please also give me some links to 8125 tweaks that some talked about? pof/other moderators/anyone?
thanks a lot in advance!!

I have an Motorola H700, and every once in a while it will disconnect, looking at the phone after that, BT is turned off, turn it back on and it works again...
There are problems with the hardware and the API used to access it, good phone, but I don't think it was ready for the market yet when they released it. It is likely to be corrected in the next ROM release, last I heard from Cingular is mid 2007, but by the way things go, prolly around late 07/early 08.

I'm having similar issues with the BT headset I use, which is a Samsung WEP150. It'll drop midcall to the handset. I'll look and BT is turned off.
The only remote correllation I've found is that it seems to occur when I've received a new email or something a la ActiveStink.. And I haven't really been able to confirm that... But I have definitely noticed it happening then though.

my 8525 does this as well with my factory BT in my 05 Acura TL. Kind of frustrating, have not been able to figure it out yet.

Problems w/ Audi BT as well
Same issues with my Audi Q7 BT. I have seen posts in this and other forums blaming the MS bluetooth stack.
My 8525 worked flawlessly with my Garmin NUVI 660, never disconnected or failed to connect automatically. This is frustrating.

8525 Fix
I had the same problem with the 8525 and my Pioneer Avic-Z1 bluetooth kit.
I hacked the registry to force the bluetooth radio to stay ON, rather than going into sleep mode. This seems to have fixed the problem (although with limited testing at this point).
My calls would consistently disconnect with 2-4 minutes. After the hack, I've had 2 45-minute+ conversations with no trouble.
Here's the fix... install a registry editor (like PHMedit), and add a DWORD here:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Suspend
Add a DWORD called btl1: (note the colon, the colon must be there), with a DWORD value of 2.
Good luck!

My Q7 as well i took the advice of wolfgram and did this to my phone i will let you know how it works it would be a shame to give up this phone but it is really useless if this feature does not work right.

Well this is what i did i did what wolfgram said and it still cut out but not as much so i took the checks off in the advance power mode and never let the phone go to sleep and it works all the time. HTC needs to upgrade thier bluetooth setting not to go to sleep. It must stay active at all times MY phone book and all other info posted into my Q7 with no issues at all and it even sees the bluetooth b4 the MMI system in the car Boots up..
Lance

Resolution I think
I turned off 'Making device discoverable to other devices' and it seems to have solved this problem, I am using the phone with a parrot kit and it kept disconnecting now it works all the time.

Treo 750 doesn't have this problem
Well, hopefully you owners of Hermes have figured out the fix. I had to return it and now got the Treo 750 and can gladly say the problem is not there. The treo 750 has the v1.2, but I guess following the replies here, that possibly Palm fixed the problem by keeping the BT radio on at all times.
In any case, here is the post I wrote in avic411.com forum - if you want to see any follow up responses by other owners..

Bluetooth cut out
I am having the problem too with the garmin Nuvi and the Tytn - which is ineresting seeing as how one poster had no problem with the Garmin device. Here is something else that is interesting - I did not have the problem when I had the HTC 1.18 Rom installed. After I flashed the HTC 1.35 Rom, the problem began. I have already tried upgrading my firmware on the Nuvi - that did not help. I also use a Nokia 800 bluetooth headset - and that never cuts out with either ROM. I will try turning off the bluetooth discovery first. If that does not work, will try editing the registry. Keep you posted.

Turning off bluetooth discovery did not work.

Hey guys, has anybody found a solution for the auto turning off of the BT in suspend mode? its gettin really annoying

Bluetooth issues

The bluetooth on my device randomly turns off from time to time - it just stops working and the device is not visible, nor i can't se any other devices. The boxes in Bluetooth settings are set On and Discoverable. After reset, everything works fine. I have radio ROM 1.56.70.11, the problem also experienced on all other roms.

help wanted
well talking abt bluetooth
is there a software for connecting with bluetooth devices??
coz my moto rokr snoop works fine with my htc touch but it cannot find moto rokr bluetooth handsfree
strange
i have searched...but no results
if anyone could help this old man..........

Can anyone give a hint? Does this depend on Radio ROM or the operating system?

这个与Radio没什么关系吧，如果不是Rom的原因，则必定是蓝牙模块的硬件问题。

Bluetooth Problems on X1

Hi,
hopefully anyone has an answer to the strange bluetooth behaviour of my X1.
The first device is a bluetooth headset from Sony. It works good, if bluetooth is activated. But after some time of not using the headset, the phone just switches off bluetooth. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes days after my last use of the headset. I tried all settings of the bluetooth-settings with no change. And it sucks if with the next phone call the headset cannot connect anymore because bluetooth was switched off.
The second device is a GNS TrafficBox Plus FM9BT-Y. Somehow MN7 does not detect the device directly, so I have to use the workaround with the serial port and outgoing connection on COM1.
The initial minutes the connection works fine, but then stops and is not restored.
Here as well trying different settings changed nothing.
How can I find out the address of the bluetooth devices?
Is there a tool to further test bluetooth connections (like what speed can be used, the address of the device, etc)
Regards

Im using Itjes Touch 7 final & i have the same problem - infact i've had it with the last 3 of his roms with my blutooth to SEAT car. I'll be on a call in my car & it switches the blutooth off without warning. generally after about 10 minutes of actual call time. But it doesnt disconnect unless during a call ? There is no rhyme or reason to it, it just sometimes happens?
So any further info will be appreciated

I have Ra2generic DE with the 1.10 radio ROM on it.
At the beginning it was fantastic not having the bluetooth issue. Everything was working so extremely goood... no switching off, no disconnecting of and from the bt headset,, etc...
After a while the issue was here again...damn! So the bt became not very useful in its functionalities.... then I saw that it was not possible to see through my bt freespeech device in the car the last calls on the phone... hm, ok I said. There were lot of calls (incoming, outgoing, missed, etc) on the list...I erased them all...
Now it is working in a perfect way.... no disconnecting, no switching off..and this with the stock ROM and Radio ROM.
I tried it a few months before posting it here... now I'm cleaning up my calling list every 2nd day (I really call a lot) and I have no problems..
Hope it works for you..

i have the same problem, the bluetooth disconect without any reason, i have tried more than 10 Roms and i dont have any solution

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I hardreseted the device, installed the newest official firmware, deleted the calling list and with great expectations checked bluetooth behaviour.....nothing changed for me
But great it works for you and thanks for the tip

Bluetooth with clarion mind
Am having trouble connecting with my new Clarion MIND - is seems the phone does not see the profiles (very similar to the phone adding the older SE Bluetooth Watch, the 100). Has anyone built a .cab to sort this out?

HD Touch + 6.5 + in-car advice please

Hi, i recently got a HTC HD Touch on Orange which i bought on ebay. The phone already came loaded with WM 6.5 on and so far i love it except for one problem. I have a Datsun 350z with intergrated bluetooth. When i tried to search on my phone it couldnt see anything, so this morning i upgraded my phones ROM to the latest Dutty's_HD_WM6.5_5.2.23016.5.0.3_Leo_R5. Since then i can search and find the bluetooth device of the car, input the pin code for it and it is added in my devices tab, however nothing appears in the "Select services to use from this device" section.
I am wondering if nyone had any idea if i am doing something wrong or whether its jsut that my car doesnt support the phone? I was also thinking about reverting back to WM6.1, would that work? Also, how do i go about getting a vanilla copy of WM 6.1?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards

Just a quick update. I can get the phone to connect to the bluetooth module in the car but its not easy. Basically when i put the keys in ignition that bluetooth gets power, i then have to quickly search for bluetooth devices on my phone and then it will connect. Would be nice if the phone just connected everytime to the car like my Blackberry did. Is this hardware or software problem please?

Not that anyone actually cares about my problem but i thought i post the answer up for anyone that might be struggling in future.
What was stopping my Bluetooth working with my car was having WiFi on. When i disable WiFi the car + phone works perfectly together. In my particular situation i use my phone to connect to an ad-hoc network, and because the phone is not connected to the ad-hoc when in my car the searching constantly is causing the problem. Whether this would be the same with infrustucture mode im not sure.
