I have a problem where my HD2 does not work properly with my Land Rover Freelander 2 in-built bluetooth car kit.
The HD2 pairs with the car and I can search my phone book, see my last dialled number, I can even dial a number, BUT, the phone does not connect properly - the car radio should cut out and phone audio come through the car speakers, but instead the radio just continues to play. And shortly after the call is connected to the other party the line is terminated.
My Nokia phone works perfectly with my car, but this phone does not. Even my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 did not for properly with the Freelander 2.
I did manage to make one successful call, but after I stopped and restarted the car, the problem returned!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
So, does any one know of a fix? Surely hands free/car kit is a standard?
Help!
same problem here. i have a bluetooth car stereo. Always worked fine with my previous HTC's. But now with the HD2 i get the exact same problems as you... I think it's software bug. i have rom version 1.43.404.1 NLD
i hope this gets sorted out cause i use bluetooth audio streaming a lot in the car....same for handsfree calling
Paired it with my Pioneer FH-P80BT on my way to sell my 3GS and recieved a call. Got the same issue as described above - just a bug i presume.
I'm experiancing similar problems. All works fine (incoming call's or outgoing call's) but they get disconnected randomly it seems. I'm using a JVX NX7000 by the way. No problem with my iPhone. Hope they fix it soon!
I tested it with my BMW Idrive last night which is notoriously difficult and it worked fine, I was really surprised tbh! But was able to recieve and make calls, the stereo cut out and could see the phone book too. With my N82 i was only ever able to make/receive calls.
Same problem - Jaguar XF - it docks ok but I have to initiate calls from car (vs phone). Just some weirdness going on...

Mercedes brutality
I have a new Mercedes C, and when the HD2 is connected over bluetooth I get an extremely loud, strange ringtone when receiving a call. It is so loud it could really make your shoes go off.
Also it is none of the ringtones available to choose from, inside the phone - it sounds more like a BIOS beep from a PC and hits me while the normal ringtone is playing as well.
It definitely comes from the phone, not from the car stereo. I have not figured out how to resolve this, I think it is outright dangerous for unprepared drivers.
I have a Nissan Pathfinder; it paired ok, and dials from the Pathy without probs. Ringtone is ok too. Sound quality seems better than my old Tytn so all in all v happy.
Doesn't stream music, but that's Nissan's fault, not HTC.
Works fine with the Ford BT system in the Ford Focus (2009).
HTC HD2 Pairing with a Freelander 2 - SUCESS!!!
Success!!!
So far so good, I applied a known change to the HD2 registry and I am now making and answering calls without fuss!
Change Registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys
Add the DWORD setting COD=5374476
This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone.
Hope this helps everyone.

Interesting, I have a similar problem with my 2009 BMW 3 I explain here (sorry I posted before discovering this thread) and I'll try your registry tweak.
But you say that it is "a known change" to the HD2, could you tell us where you saw it ? Is there another discussion about the BT stack somewhere or more generaly about the Widcomm implementation in the HD2 ?
The HD2 being so recent and in short supply, I'm a bit surprised something like that is "well known"
Thanks for your help.
It works !
graemenwallace, I just tried after applying your tweak and... OMG, this is AWSOME man, it just WORKS !
I still just have one gripe though, it seems that the car doesn't always receive the RF level correctly at the first connection. Sometimes it sees the phone as having no carrier at all (no bars in the RX level display), preventing the car to make any calls, but as soon as I receive a call, the level resets to full bars and I can pick the call and make calls myself after that.
When the first call comes in, I can see the display with no bars and a "?" appearing on top of it for a short time before it becomes full bars.
So there is still some compatibility problems, but at least now I can pick-up incoming calls without risking my life.
So I suppose you are a potential life saver then
Thanks mate,
Yves.
Bluetooth is working YES with JVC KD-AVX44 ADV49
After the registry tweak from graemenwallace the bluetooth connection is working properly with my car radio (JVC KD-AVX44/KD-ADV49).
The phone functions ok now (incoming & outgoing calls) Also the AD2P connection is super (very good sound)
Also the ID3 tags are functioning (didn't function with the X1 Xperia)
I see the track title now into the JVC display
Skipping etc. all is functioning. I will tell HTC about it because I have a ticket running for this issue. I think they have to solve this issue
Big thanks for this trick
By doing a little search on the net, it seems like graemenwallace suggested that this problem is not new with smartphones that identify themselves as such.
The tweak above forces the BT stack of the phone to identify itself as a standard phone instead of a smartphone.
What's puzzling is that my BMW handsfree worked with other smartphones so far, including the iphone.
Anyway, it's ok now, but I wonder what bad press this will cause to HTC.
The majority of the users are unaware of this kind of wizardry and this justs adds up to the long list of bugs of the HD2.
When I first got the phone a few days ago I was rapidly convinced to return it immediatly as it's fancy interface wasn't enough to overcome all the shortcomings. It was plain unusable as a business phone.
Now after applying most of the tweaks, it begins to show potential, but HTC really has to work on the problems we can't fix by tweaking the registry.
I tried this also, but for me it didn't work.
But my situation is a bit different, as I am not able to connect the HD2 through the Sim Access Profile with my car, which is an Audi A6 mit Bluetooth preparation and I have also the Audi rSAP Adaptor installed in the centre arm rest.
My problem is, that I get a connection to the car, but SAP does not activate and I can't get access to my phonebook - so I only have kind of a handsfree profile...
Am I right that you all use the handsfree profile in your cars and no SAP?

Does your Ford system have the Bluetooth audio choice?
I get my Ford Focus changed every six months coz i'm a driving instructor and it comes as part of the deal.
On my last Ford Focus my htc tytn 2 connected ok and I could make and receive calls ok.
However, when the new car was delivered the Ford system had bluetooth audio choice and ipod integration which the other one didn't.
Now my htc tytn 2 didn't connect very well at all.
Now with my HD2 it does connect only if I have the bluetooth audio profile selected.
But now the music player keeps appearing and wants to play music all the time. If I pause the music on the phone it just starts replaying.
Anyway I will try the registry tweak in this thread and hopefully that will solve the problem.

I have the same problem. I`ll try to pair my HD2 with MB C-klass using SAP but i can`t get them connected it seems like a SAP adaptor can`t activate a PIN input window on HD2 (i guess). With other phones it works perfect (tryed with Nokia 5800, 6500).

could you pls describe, how did get them paired? when i try to pair them, i see the device`s id, try to "call" it, see pin code and after that i hear the descending tone. and it nothing occurs. SAP is enabled, device is discoverable, what else? Any idea?

I feel your pain, my wife has a GolfPlus and the rSAP instalation is crap.
It's overly expensive and useless if you don't have one of the few phones compatible with it.
Unfortunately, many customers are falling in this trap, thinking it is a standard handsfree, but it is not, it is a full GSM build-in which only access your phone SIM card to log into the network and download your contacts.
In the case of my wife, the dealer was honest and clearly stated that it was a mistake to order this option.
The only problem is that he had no other alternative than proposing an Parrot retrofit which wasn't really an option for me as it wasn't integrated in the car and certainly not in the navigation system.
But internet is your friend and the solution is quite simple, the Kufatec kit.
This is brilliant, it is a small box that connects to the CAN bus of many german cars and integrates perfectly into existing navigators, it uses the steering wheels command buttons and so on.
It is much better (more functions) than original BT options, is tailored to each brand so that the displays are in the same style as the original ones etc.
More interesting, it is field upgradable (just a laptop with BT) so that it is potentialy compatible with anything existing or not yet.
And it only costs a fraction of this crappy rSAP option.
In your case, the good news is that it can simply replace your actual rSAP kit for a minimal installation fee. (the CAN bus has to be reprogramed however, so professional instalation needed)
There is another solution: to replace the unit you have (it is situated under the driver's seat) by a skoda unit. This unit has the same connector but is simple handsfree instead of rSAP.
Hope this helps.
Problem : car :
Peugeot 407 (2008)
device : Nexus One (Rodrig. latest)
I always had troubles getting my device paired with my car, but mostly after a while or installing "bluetooth file transfer" it worked.
However not anymore. Does anybody has an idea what the problem could be? Are more people experiencing this. The devices see each other but they can't connect/pair to each other.
I also tried the app. "bluetooth fix" but it gives an error. Even after reinstalling the "Super User" app from the market.
(sorry I wanted to replace it to Q & A)
linking and transfer of phonebook is good, but quality is very bad. It is difficult to hear the other side, most of the time I have to take it from handfree and talk into the phone directly...
using cm 6.1 rc1
Had that too. Use a kernel without audio-mod.
It works but not really at the same time ..
I can receive calls but I didn't manage to get my phonebook on the car or make a call from the car, I have to dial through the phone.. Not sure actually if its possible or not with my car anyway...
Phone: Nexus One - CM6 nightly 263, with radio 5.12 and Wildmonks 112210 kernel
Car: VW GTI 2010 - RNS510
Does anyone also have a problem with using his bluetooth?
My phone sees my car's bluetooth but can't connect.
It always gets rejected!
It used to work on early Rom releases.
I am searching the net and this forum but I don't see any solutions.
There is an app on the market to fix bluetooth but it didn't work
Problem car: 2010 Audi S4
Phone: Nexus One (ATT) 2.2.2 (unrooted) Radio 5.08
Phone pairs. Cannot answer calls through the car controls. Must answer physically on phone in order to answer call. If picked up by car controls, the car says connected but no audio.
The system used to work perfectly before while on eclair 2.1. I think Froyo screwed something up for me.

I'm also on CM with audoio issues. which kernel did you use, and is it affecting other areas of your phone pos/neg? i.e. do you recommend the switch?
The latest from wildmonks without Audio Boosts are :
http://wildmonks.whoisthedrizzle.com/kernel/2.6.35/010411/No_Audio_Boost_CM6/
These are good.
However I can't even connect anymore (had the no audio boost too when in the time it could connect)

I also have an A4 with nexus one on CM 6.1 (still with audio boost) and it works perfectly (except for the sound quality). So might be a specific issue on your phone side, or maybe the new audi SW (mine is from 2008). have you looked at this thread?

So I've just bought a JVC KW-AVX 740. Great little unit, comes with bluetooth support built in.
Unfortunately, my Galaxy S doesn't integrate as well as it should. Both the unit and the Galaxy S support PBAP. The unit is capable of accessing dialled/received/missed call lists as well as the phonebook and voice dialling on compatible phones. However when pair/connect up my Galaxy S to the unit, the functionality is quite limited.
I can:
Make calls from the headunit
Receive calls via the headunit, so the handsfree element seems to work just fine. Quality is acceptable.
Send my phonebook across manually either one by one or in one go so it is stored on my headunit's memory (this worked flawlessly and was quick)
Play music from the Galaxy S over bluetooth through the headunit (quality is pretty good with no issues to report although I'm yet to do some more complex tests e.g. see what happens if I receive a call whilst streaming audio at the same time)
However, the unit is unable to:
Voice dial
Access the phonebook of my Galaxy S,
Access the dialled/received/missed calls lists
No SMS alerts
To double check it wasn't my unit playing up, I decided to hook up my Nokia 5130 Xpress Music - result?, it worked flawlessly.... Pairing was instant, as it is with the Galaxy S, except everything worked as it should. I could view the lists on my phone through the headunit and access the 5130s phonebook. Everything sync'd perfectly.
So it's not the headunit, meaning it's either Android or something Samsung have done to Android.
When I pair/connect the Galaxy S I do not get a prompt asking me if I want to grant the bluetooth device access to the phonebook - which is what is supposed to happen (and I've read about other peopel receiving this prompt when connecting their Galaxy S's to other car kits e.g. factory car bluetooth etc). When I check the device options in Bluetooth settings on the Galaxy S, under profiles all it shows is "Phone (use for phone audio)" and "Media (use for media audio)". Both boxes are ticked. Shouldn't it show other profiles like PBAP etc?
Does anyone have a picture of what the prompt looks like on the Galaxy S?
Phone details:
OS ver: Gingerbread 2.3.3 official and totally stock (no root, etc)
Basband: I9000XXJVO
Build num: GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
None of the contacts on my phone are synced up with Gmail/Exchange/Facebook. I added all my contacts by hand into the phone's memory.
Question: What's going on? Or more importantly how do I fix it?
Ok so I've done some more tests with some results I guess could be perceived as positive.
I tried my mum's Galaxy S on stock Orange UK branded 2.1 Eclair and to my delight the phone fully integrated... It disconnected the first time but I reconnected and it seemed to be ok.
I then tried a friends Orange San Francisco (aka Zte Blade) on stock Orange UK branded Eclair also, 2.1 - and this also worked fully!
As soon as either phone connects - both show a prompt stating the connecting device (JVC unit) is asking for phone book access - and when given - the stereo can access all lists and the phonebook.
My phone still doesn't work!
I'm putting the problem down to stupid Gingerbread - so WTF did they break?!
Hi and sorry if i do not found such a topic in some discussion. I tried to search but didn´t found it yet.
My problem is that i have a new Yotaphone 2 YD201 with latest update (as far as i know) 1.1.124 , which i got OTA.
And i´m not sure if this was happening also before the update, cause i didn´t tested it before with Android 4.4.
The problem:
If i set up a call or got a call and talking some times over my bluetooth headset, the colleagues asked me that i sound like under water.
Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes longer...
If i switch to the mobile phones microphone everything is working correct instantly.
I tried several bluetooth headsets, which are working well on other android phones.
Then I tried the soundrecorder SW which is on the device and found out, that the bluetooth sound isn´t recorded well, means it´s very dull and quiet.
If i put my voice directly to the mobiles microphone (although bluetooth headset is still connected), the recorded sound is louder but still far away from a good quality.
But it doesn´t change, if the bluetooth headset is switched off and the soundrecorder is used directly without bluetooth headset. Still very dull and quiet.
Can anybody please test this with his Yotaphone 2 YD201 to check if only my phone has a problem, although i do not believe that it is a HW topic.
Is there some known issue or bug regarding this topic and has somebody any idea how to overcome this problem, cause without using a bluetooth headset, the phone is unaúsable at all for me.
Thx and nice evening
Cheers
neo
Meanwhile i contacted the Yotaphone Support and there was a very fast answer.
Problem is known by Developers. They are working on a fix and keep me updated.
So, lets see if and what will ever happen...

Hi Neo,
I have the same probem with my Yotaphone 2.
I bought the new Bose QC30 Bluetooth, the sound is very bad for my contact.
I found something working : plug the headset Jack, and then test to phone by bluetooth.
if the jack is plugged when the bluetooth mode is selected (before or during the call), the microphone from the bluetooth is good.
if you unplug the jack during the call in bluetooth mode, the microphone is operating yet properly.
Why ???
same problem here
hi everyone,
is there any update on this issue? sadly cant use my headset anymore.
thx, luke
Isn't there a solution just above?!

Hi, thx for all the feedback- I also tried this CN Radio + the topic with the audio jack but none of them are real workarounds.
It seems that the CN -Radio brings some other issues for me, like unstable LTE connections + problems with SRVCC (switch from LTE to 3G/2G) in some handover situations. These problems were not available before.
So i installed the RU stock again and sorry to say it- sell the phone - It´s a nice phone and for people who do not need the bluetooth headset nearly the complete day- its a very good phone, with a great idea.
By the way- the support from Yota was quite good and they tried to help me as well as they confirmed the bug is known by the developer, but this help that much at the moment- so i´m back with my P9000 now...
Have fun with the mobile and appreciate the ideas of Yota devices...
Cheers

I seem to also have this issue on the EU version. Is it a matter of the antenna? I've ordered one of those cheap 3.5mm jack antennas to try out.
The odd thing is that bluetooth audio is fine with both speakers and a headset, from a variety of distances. I don't understand why the microphone is affected.

I would be interested in how you did that, my gf is getting upset as she can't use her bluetooth handfree set while driving... she has the yd206 model, build EU 1.1.124, i already thought of installing RU buil then ota update to 1.1.134, but i wonder if this would change anything.
Thanks.
any news?
YD206 model too
Hi, I have a YD206 model and same problem with the mic with bluetooth.
I am not sure if I had this problem with Kit Kat, but as I am using bluetooth in my car everyday for my job, I think that problem was from my recently Lollipop update.
bluetooth mic: any news?
Hello, I have the same issue with YD201. Phone calls over my car's integrated bluetooth sound fine to me but the people I speak with say I sound like I am in a pipe or underwater.
Has anyone found a fix?
Thank you!
YD201
Android version: 6.0.1
Baseband version: s01_003_4240_RU1_M05
I did a factory reset on my Android 6.0.1 and the problem seems to have gone away. I did try other radio firmwares before which was a wasted effort.

Hi!
I have a problem with the microphone on my Nokia-6 (software update 8.0) --
people do not hear me well during the dialogue (too quiet).
Sometimes they hear me well (1/6 calls) -- I have not ideas about it.
The service center was told that there are no defects.
Calls via skype work fine, and dictaphone programs work fine also.
I thought that the problem is in improperly tuning the sensitivity of the microphone,
but I can't enter to engineering mode --
codes *#*#2486#*#* or *#*#3646633#*#* do not work
How I can fix this problems?

I was facing the same problem. But i tried it. Go to google app>setting>voice. Then toggle off 'block offensive language'. You can also add different language at hoogle app settings. This solved my problem. Hope it will solve yours too.
