Bluetooth car and Orbit keep disconnecting - P3300, MDA Compact III Accessories

I am have a Vauxhall fitted with a manufactuers Bluetooth car-kit - which was working fantastically with my old Nokia phone. Now I have a XDA Orbit, which pairs fine with the car, and is setup as a Hands-free device on the Orbit. However the car and the Oribit seem to disconnect randomly, during calls, or when idle. Most times I have to reconnect to the Orbit via the carkit.
Sometimes after I have connected, and reconnected a few times it seems to get the message and retains the connection - other times, I end up just plugging in a headset and have done with it.
Any ideas?

Works on my Wizard
I'm about to switch to an Artemis so was trawling through the board...
I had similar problems with my Wizard, until I insatlled Jetware www.jetwaremobile.com - I then needed the addressbook swap script to get it to fully work.
Becasue I've blasted my ROM fairly regularly, I've never gone past the 30 day free trial yet...

Hmm, tried that - however the car bluetooth and my Orbit connect fine for about 5 - 10 seconds and then dsconnect. Tried deleting the pairings on both sides - but has no effect. Is this an issue with the ROM or Bluetooth?
If I reconnect, then again it suddenly disconnects after 5 - 10 seconds.

I think you're stuffed. Had same probelms when I had a BMW with factory fit bluetooth, would work with a Nokia but only pair and drop-out on my XDA - solution..?? never found one, changed the car. I'm using a Siemens car kit now, works fine..

I actually managed to solve it (with a little help from another friend).
Basically if cleared down the call-history (recieved/made/missed calls) and then reconnected it worked.
I am not sure if it was the number of entries in the call history that was the problem or an erroneous entry - but after that everything has been fine.
Happy days.

Just put this onto my Orbit - after getting only a transient phonebook transfer to the BMW (would only stay there for about 30 seconds and then it would disappear), this Jetware certainly seems to fix the problem and will even allow me to read my SMS's on the car's monitor.
Only issue is that NEW SMS's (ones that come in whilst the phone is paired to the BMW) aren't flagged or readable - need to unpair/re-pair and then the new msg Icon pops up and the messages can be read.
Still, its MUCH better than it was before.

SMS on BMW
Have you tried the advanced options in jetware to tell the bmw to handle the sms alerts?
Also, does the phonebook work? If not, use the phonebookswap script from the jetware site...

O2 XDAIIs Bluetooth problem

OK new to this forum, but please assist if possible - I have an XDAIIs which I have combined with a Bluetooth GPS unit and Bluetooth headset, I am runing the latest ROM from the O2 web site and the following occurs:
with TomTom vs3 the headset will pair but fails to connect, with TomTom vs5 the headset set will pair and connect, but when I terminate a call on the road using the TT vs5 the GPS disconnects at the same time. I have tried TomTom vs 3 with the GPS driver rolled back to vs2.06 which was the concerted opinion of pocketgps.co but that to did not work. I have tried setting the XDA up for a wired conection but that to fails to work - does anyone have a TomTom nav working reliably with this device when it is combined with a Bluetooth headset, any help much appreciated as I am now considering returing the unit as not fit for the purpose it was sold to me - in anticipation many thanks Mike
I have had the same problem with TTN3 and headsets not working. The GPS pairing was not the issue. Removing TTN3 restored the link, but for some reason headsets will no longerconnect automatically.
I have tried soft and hard resets, and updated the bluetooth drivers to build 3900, but still the headsets will not connect automatically, only manually..
I have exchanged a few e-mails with the guru's at TomTom who now thick this may be a bug, but no resolution yet...
OK try this for good measure, I loaded up TomTom vs5 again yesterday, and connected up a wired GPS unit through the serial port (remove cross from check box marked "receive incoming beams" in the Ir port settings tab - in order to use serial GPS) and it works the Bluetooth headset is fine and doesn’t mess up the GPS - However before you rush out and purchase TT5 please read on. Last night I undertook a trip from Blackpool to the centre of Liverpool, approx 55 miles and about one hour in duration. The XDA required soft resetting no less than 16 times on the way there - not easy when driving !! When I got there I needed to use it as a phone and got the no noise in headset problem - note I was not using the bluetooth at this point it was back to a "normal phone" (occurs on my unit at least three times per day) - another soft reset. One other observation with the XDAIIs was its inability to charge up properly when running in the car cradle I set off with 85% in the main battery, a hour later it was down to 35% even though it was showing charging, way too many bugs in this unit for me to consider putting up with it any longer, one month on from purchasing it is going back to the shop and I don't want it repaired, or swapped for another one - I am going to go back to a standard phone that will work, I am sure under the trading standards the unit would be viewed as unable to perform the function for which it was sold - its a shame I like the design of the unit, and the functionality without having to carry around a plethora of kit, chargers, holders etc. but I will return back to my trustworthy ipaq-4700, in twelve months I have never hard reset, the XDA has had over twelve hard resets in the one month of ownership - regards all - Mike
OK appologies for the rant and rave, yesterday I took the unit back to the O2 shop who really did not want to know anything about the problems - "you only have 14 days - take it up with customer support" - which I did, first lesson if you have any problem with a new O2 unit get it back in the 14 day period. Customer support were most helpful and aventually agreed to replace the handset with an identical machine at the local shop, which proved easy (shame about 40 min on the phone but at least I got somewhere) second lesson use the support system it really does work. thirdly the shop assistant manager informed me O2 are no longer selling the XDAIIs with the TomTom package due to neumerous problems - that says something in its self. Loaded the new unit up with TT5 and used it today for navigation (3 hours), no problems with charging, GPS or phone usage all day, if this remains the case I will be a happy customer, perhaps I had indeed been supplied a faulty handset, time will tell - Mike
sinclox, if you need more advice on this one please e-mail me on [email protected]
I am sure you can get it to work - I am most impressed with my unit once the bugs were ironed out - let me know _mike
Mike,
Thanks for the offer, currently I am waiting for TTN5 upgrade to arrive until them I am unable to register TTN3 due to the TT upgrade process and so can't use TTN on the XDA.
I have dumped the O2 active interface in favour of Wisbar 2 and the XDA hasn,t locked up since.
Have you any clues as to how to get the bluetooth connection working automatically again with headsets? :?
Send me an e-mail to address previously posted on this link - Mike

Different Bluetooth Stack?

I've been struggling for several months now to get my MDAC III working with my built-in car Bluetooth hands-free. The full details are below, but in short, I'm told that the system seems to work OK with Wizard, and I'm wondering what about the Wizard could be different to the Artemis (Bluetooth stack perhaps?), and if there is a difference, is there anything I can do about it?
The full issue: The system I'm trying to connect with is in a Land Rover Freelander 2 (LR2 in the US) Initial pairing was a bit hit and miss, but now I've got the the phone paired with the PTI, that's not a problem and they automatically pair whenever I start the car.
I can succesfully initiate or answer a call from the car, but the call itself isn't routed through the car's speakers/mic, it just goes through the phone as normal. However, once in a call if I select the "privacy" option on the PTI (which would normally have the effect I've already got of passing the call to the phone), and then select the "hands free" option, it does what it should and routes the call through the car. Effectively, it's as if the system starts in "privacy" mode rather than "hands free". Once I've done this once, subsequent calls work fine, routing straight through the car, but only until the ignition's turned off. The next time I start the car up I'm still paired, but calls go through the phone again.
If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really appreciate them.
Thanks!
Try this
Had similar in a BMW...
Try www.jetwaremobile.com
Thanks, did try that but didn't seem to help, it seemed to be more geared towards additional functions like phonebook syncing rather than just getting a working connection in the first place. Maybe I'll give it another go.
Same Probleme On 207

Thanks TangerineTractor!
I fixed the problem I have with car kit of OPEL ANTARA using the software you said. It works disable sending Phonebooks.
I am having a similar problem with Wizard Mobile 6 cooked ROM. Before with the official O2 ROM on my Xda Mini S, it worked fine. The car would automatically recognise the phone whenever in proximity, and all calls would go through the speaker.
Now, I have to press the car kit's button (Nokia Bluetooth) each time I get in the car, to tell it to search for devices - i.e. the phone doesn't automatically announce its presence.
So, is there a different Bluetooth Stack we can try?
My Orbit works fine with my Nokia CK-7W using a B&B ROM.
Thanks, and yep that's the same car kit I have.
When you get in the car, do you have to do anything, or does the car kit automatically detect the phone? Mine doesn't since getting the Wizard Mobile 6 cooked ROM.
Do you know what Bluetooth Stack you use, and if I can download it anywhere for the Wizard?
No, just switch on the ignition key and away it goes. Also if the car kit is set as the default hands free if the phone rings it should try to connect to the car kit.
The radio I am using is 2.95.90 I have no idea what bluetooth stack it is, Tom Codin cooked the ROM, he will know.
Okay thanks. Does anyone know if the BT Stack is part of the Radio ROM? If so I'll just try a different Radio ROM.

TP2 Bluetooth / JVC Car Kit trouble

I currently have a Diamond and TP2 with stock ROM's.
Diamond worked perfect with carkit untill i performed major ROM upgrade from htc.com. now it will connect and not reconnect on either device or carkit restart.
My TP2 behaves EXACTLY the same - connects and drops after either restarting. when connected it works fine - voice/dialing etc etc.
My car kit is a JVC KS-BTA200 connected to my KW-AVX810 head unit.
i've read all comments on google/xda's etc - well almost all! to no avail.
the devices are all set to visible obviously and all paired. ive read that a registry edit possibly fixes the issue but my TP2 & Diamond dont have the required reg strings. (that i can find!!)
i have the remote registry tool installed on my Desktop - so im ready to make changes!
please, if anyone can help i will very grateful!!

Hi, I am using my Touch Pro 2 with the same HU and Bluetooth adaptor as you but no such problem so far.
It used to have this problem then I try to connect using Window CE as the phone setup and choose another Connection Key instead of default 0000 to pair the phone with the HU.
ok, well i just tried connecting via searching for the device from the HU. it finds my device - i tap enter (to connect on HU) then it just jumps to a blue flashing 'connecting' then goes to a yellow 'error' straight away. if i select 'open' on the HU then it connects (connecting with a different ID - a number '6') but only untill i restart the HU.
also as a test i just tried an Xperia (just had one laying around LOL) and it does the exact same as mine!! ARRRRGHHH!
so im glad to say i believe it is not an HTC issue!
ok so i have an update - the problem is my HU will not pair correctly and it will not store a pairing. great.
another quick one - have found others are having trouble with their HU/adapters. thanks anyway everyone!
TP2 Bluetooth and voice dialing working fine ???
Have you tried to reset your carkit? I had the same problem after the rom-update with my TP1 and I put my carkit (Bury CC9060) back to factory settings. So I did the same this morning after I updated my TP2 and now it works just like a charm. Of course I don't know if your carkit has this possibility. Good luck, greetz Ton
'iznogoooog' - yes it work perfectly until you restart either device - 'ton66' - unfortunatley a reset is pretty much all i can do!!! eeeeek!
hopefully a reset will fix it! - i did unplug my b/tooth adapter then switch the unit on - then off then plug it back in.. didnt change anything.. oh well! will do complete re-set 2day!
BTW:
thanks so much for everyones help!
Got a questions. I am using the AVX-826 with build in Bluetooh. I want to know if you guys get the Signal Strength show on your Head unit is correct. on my unit pair with TP2. The Signal Strength indicator doesn't move. it always show the strength with my phone is connected to the unit and it stay that way.
The Battery Strength indicator does work and show the correct battery level.
I have exactly the same prob!
Hi,
I have a AXV800 and a BTA200.
My first device was a Artemis with WM6.0. No problem so far!
Then I changend to a Diamond with WM 6.1 and had the same problem as mentioned before. Now I tried my new TP2 and still the same problem.
And I tried the old Artemis again with a new 6.1 ROM and the same problem as on the other two phones.
Now I think it depends on the WM build. 6.0 seems to work 6.1 not!!!!!!!!!!
I did a reset on my AVX800 two times without luck!
I think I'm going to use a normal phone without Windows mobile for the next test!
Schelbi.

bluetooth problems?

Anyone else having bluetooth problems or is this operator error?
I can switch bluetooth on, make my handset visible, pair with other devices and receive files from other handsets, however when I try to send anything, I can't connect to paired devices and bluetooth hangs meaning I have to switch my handset off and on.
I was using bluetooh last night and all was ok
but unlike my last phone c902 the bluetooth is on a timer then turns off visibility
Working fine for me. Paired up my bluetooth headset and will still be working hours later even if I haven't interacted between them.
It's strange, devices show as paired but not connected and I can't make them connect.
Have been able to use BT for file transfer between my Desire and laptop and HD2. Also connected to my Plantronics BT headset. I think you need to have an appropriate BT driver for some devices like BT keyboards.
I too am having minor issues.
The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.
For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.
Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.
Dae.
Strange. I'll try connceting to my laptop later.
I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??
Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?
still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow.
I'm also having problems...
I have the Parrot CK3200 LS-COLOR and it connects to the phone ok, or vice versa and then it always falls over when trying to sync the contacts... It shows my facebook profile pic and then it fails.
If I dial a contact through the phone, or receive a call, it comes out fine through the speakers.
So I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way the the desire handles contacts.
Sorry if there's been a resolution to this, I did search first
me to also having the same problems. spent 4 hours on google last night and still no closer.
Weird as it might sound, I had no issues connectiong to car stereo. But when I tried to pair it with friends mobile, SonyEricsson c902 - it crashed!
I was trying to send a picture file I have downloaded using bluetooth.
Also, can anyone tell me how to send a mp3 file I have downloaded off the internet to another mobile using bluetooth?
Thanks
Have you enabled FTP under Bluetooth advanced settings? I have no problem transfering files to and from PC or other mobile phone. Also make sure the device is dicroverable and paired.
I had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: I paired and connected the Desire with my bluetooth car head unit and it works fine for phone & audio, but it will not auto connect each time I get in the car and I have to go through the pairing process and enter a code each time. Voice dialling also doesn't work. My previous handset (Touch HD) connected automatically if the bluetooth was on so I don't think it's a problem with the head unit. Someone suggested it might be due to an old bluetooth protocol on the head unit (I'd like to avoid having to replace it if possible).
i managed to send a file to another htc desire today, last time i tried, i admit i didn't enable the ftp service, however I could not send via bluetooth to a nokia n96 but to be fair, my desire probably just didn't want anything to do with it . but on a serious note I cant seem to get it to send to my windows 7 x64 disto.

Bluetooth not alive when phone is locked?

All,
I have this small issue with my HTC Desire and the Parrot CK3000 Evolution. Until now, everything works perfectly (calling, sending contacts, voice dialing, ending calls,...)
However I have one small issue. When I enter my car, and my phone is locked, the Desire will not pair with the Parrot. From the moment I activate the screen, pairing is done within a few seconds. I already tried to leave it there for half an hour, no pairing, touched the screen, pairing within a few seconds.
It looks to me like the bluetooth is not active / alive when the phone is locked (or in sleep). From the moment the pairing is done, everything works fine, also when the phone is back in lock / sleep.
Anybody has anything similar or has a solution for this? I searched the market for some kind of Bluetooth-keep-alive application, but could not really find it...
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Speedygerre
Small bump, nobody any idea for a solution or somekind of workaround / app?

I have a similar situation with my Audi A5 (factory BT kit).
It will connect when the phone is locked (screen off etc) but it can take anything from 1 to 10 minutes before it does connect.
Like yourself, my Desire connects immediately if the phone is not locked.
Strangely, it appears to work OK in my Mazda MX-5 which has a Kenwood DNX8220BT system (Bluetooth, SatNav, Ipod, coffee maker etc) - and the Bluetooth is a Parrot system. Having said that, I haven't used the MX-5 much since I got my Desire so it might not be a representative sample.
There is definitely something amiss though.
I have a Parrot CK 3100, and whilst I am happy to report that I do not have the same problem as you, I did have a problem syncing my contacts.
Check out this site, and download the software to udate to the latest firmware. You will need a laptop with either built in bluetooth, or a seperate bluetooth dongle.
http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/onlinehelpguides
I updated the firmware on mine, and now my contacts sync properly.
There is a good chance that updating could fix your connection problem as well.
Sorry forgot to add, that updating the kit really is a doddle, but their software is Windows 32bit ONLY and definitely no MAC!
Thans pergolesi, I hope your suggestion workshop, I will try it when I have some time one of the next days.
However I still think it has something to do with the Desire, since syncing workshop perfectly when Desire is not locked...

I don't know about the Bluetooth but I know my wifi deactivates after about 5 minutes when it's locked even though I have it set to never turn off. Maybe the Bluetooth is doing the same.
Perhaps not much help, but I sometimes play music from my Desire on my car headunit using Bluetooth streaming, and that continues to work fine when the screen goes off and the phone is locked. It also still responds to commands from the headunit (skip, pause, etc).
Once it's connected, everything works OK for me as well, it just is the connecting moment which apparently does not always work

Can I ask what year your A5 is? I've got a 2010 A3 and BT doesn't work properly with my Desire I can get it to pair, but then it will disconnect a few minutes later and the only way to reconnect seems to be to unpair/repair or switch the car off/on. When it IS working it can make calls, etc. fine - but I just can't get it to stay connected I tried my Audi dealer but they just said it's not on the Audi list and there's no update to support it, so interested to hear you got it working on your A5.

My A5 is a 2008 model with SatNav and therefore MMI High. The Desire paired straight away with no problems and both the car and the phone remember each other - it just takes awhile sometimes for one or the other to realise it and connect.
I'm pretty certain that it is the phone that has the problem as I had no such problems with several Sony Ericsson phones previously.

Thanks - interesting. I wonder how many different BT stacks Audi run - I was hoping they'd share some common code and therefore be updated quickly but it sounds like this isn't the case given that it's working fine on your A5. Thanks for the info though!
