Bluetooth drops incoming call!! :( - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey guys,
i was wondering if anyone was facing this problem... i have the Alpine 103BT in my car which has an inbuilt parrot bluetooth system. I have noticed that when someone calls me it shows up on the lcd on the headunit then immediately drops the call! it shows up as a missed call on my tp2... but when i call using this bluetooth system then it works like a charm!
Any idea what i can do to change this? Is there a setting i have inadvertently changed?
I would really appreciate this because this call dropping really defeats the point of hands free!

I've got the same problem.
Just look a few posts down the list and you'll notice my 'cry for help'.
So far though, nobody's come to the rescue.
I've been reading that our phones have a unique BT-implementation, so it could be down to a bug in that area. If more people show up having similar issue, we might know.
Until then: fingers crossed and hope for sombody to post a solution.

Great! its not just me then! I hope it gets sorted! it gets on your nerves after awhile!

That's putting it mildly.
This sucks big-time: when on a business-call you definitely don't want your headset to die in you. During any conversation, really, but blasting along the motorway it's the last thing you need.

I also have an alpine 103 bt and an htc touch(elf) with onyx rom on it.
my problem is that when i make a call either from the head unit or the phone on the head unit it stops the music, displays CALLING and then after 3 seconds it displays ------------- , resumes the music, but the phone doesnt hang up. It continues the call, shows that is stil connected but you cant hear anything.
this is really frastrating as it does this sort of thing randomly and not always.
any thoughts?

Your symptoms sound a bit different from ours so it could be a totally different problem.
We might need to be paitient until one of the experts has a simiral experience and dived into the software.
Until then, I'm baffled.

Come to think of it... i have a similar problem.. when i get an incoming call it stops the music and registers a call and just a few second later..i get the --------------, and then the music comes back...by the time i fish my phone out of the pocket ive got a missed call! havnt noticed any problems when im calling though.
i tried repairing the phone to the unit but same thing! not sure what else i could do

Similar problem (I think)
Cant get a working setup in my car kit. I have a Jaguar XF SC with bluetooth handsfree...The TP2 (TMO US) pairs and docks fine, but doesnt work well. Incoming calls dont seem to be recognized, and outbound calls will dial and communicate, but wont hangup. When I hang up from the TP2, the car kit still thinks its connected and mutes the radio until i forcebly disconnect from TP2...
arg...

I've got exactly the same problem as the original poster. Mine's a vodafone TP2 with the standard vodafone rom. I've got the Alpine 104BTi. I can make outgoing calls ok but as has been described any incoming call will show the caller ID for about 1 ring and then it hangs up the call.
I've got a Jabra BT500 which works perfectly. I am wondering whether it may be the actual firmware in the Alpine device. If you look at the phone compatibility list on the Alpine website the TP2 is not listed. It worked fine with my Kaiser and this is listed as compatible.
I emailed their tech support and they said they are waiting for their customized version of the firmware from Parrot to be updated, possibly around September. I've noticed that for the Parrot standalone devices these all list the TouchPro2 as compatible, so maybe this will be fixed.
They did mention that the firmware update may only be available through the dealers. I'll keep an eye on their website. My current firmware version is 320.
I've read some other threads somewhere that people with the vodafone rom describe having problems with bluetooth that are fixed after flashing with a different rom so may turn out to be that.
Infuriating though.

It seems to be the poor implementation of the new BT stack
I have had similar problems to those described above, my Peugeot van has inbuilt BT (uses Parrot in implementation) which just misbehaves unbelievably including hanging up the current call if a new one comes in on call waiting, phonebook access is rediculously slow and buggy.
My Jabra BT8010 disconnects at random
My Jawbone disconnects very occasionally
The stack is full of bugs and HTC must know it - I reported it on their support system and firstly fobbed off, then they said they would look into it, then the log was auto closed - very convenient way to show they are meeting targets in resolving issues.
It is poor, poor and more poor. The new WIDCOMM stack looks great but doesnt really work.
Very poor for a flagship handset and they should sort something out

I went to an Alpine delearship who suggested what ukdoc was trying to do.. basically firmware update! Are you using a different Alpine website? Because the one i go to says coming soon on the page where software updates are supposed to be. I culdnt find any connection with parrot and alpine on the parrot website!
Basically what im asking is how are you going to be getting the firmware update and could you direct me towards it!
Many thanks Mate

FYI, I just upgraded the radio to "4.46.25.24 - HTC" (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939) and the handsfree seems better...not sure it's perfect, but it does answer and hangup now...

Upgrade Alpine CDE-104BTi firmware from 320 to 360
I have just updated the firmware in my CDE-104BTi radio to version 360
http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/support/bluetooth-update-software.html
This has fixed the problem of not being able to recieve incomming calls on my HTC Touch Pro 2.

Hi
I just tried updating the BT in my Alpine 104bti. The laptop connects to the headunit but the update tool don't find the connection, I've tried disabling the antivirus etc. But it don't see the connection but the connection is displayed on the laptop.
Any Ideas whats wrong ?
Cheers Gomez...

SOLVED
Tried again using a laptop with Xp on worked first time, Seems Windows 7 was causing issues.

Bluetooth and carkit works really slowly

Hello!
I have one question regarding BT when connected to my carkit. Here is the situation.
I owe a Citroen C5 III with factory supplied carkit. I had an HTC touch HD, which was working excellent. Then I have swiched to HTC TP2 and here is where the problems started. The TP2 connects to my carkit with no problems, but when I make a call the phone starts to work really slowly. It take about 30seconds to hang up the call I just had. If I want to make another call the phone still works very slowly, making the call takes about 1 minute. Phone strats to work fast again as soon as I disconnect the phone from carkit.
I have tried to change the roms (a lot of them with and without manila), I have taken my car to dealershop to updtae the BT on my carkit.
I there any solution for this problem?
Is there any way I can update or. downgrade the bluetooth drivers on TP2 so there would be the old interface just like the HD had?
Thanks a lot for all your help!

On page two there is a list of the registry edits to apply to fix issues between the Widcomm bluetooth stack and bluetooth car kits.
Dwboston, thanks for your reply. It helped a lot. I did the changes as described on second page on the link you have provided. I did not find the last entry I was supposed to change.
I went on a short test drive and looks like the carkit is now working perfectly. Tomorow I will go on a trip for two days. after that I will tell if the tweak worked.
Again, thanks a lot for the help. You have no idea how you made my day.

I didn't have the last entry either on my Tilt 2. So far the phone is working fine with the bluetooth system in my Acura. Hopefully it keeps working.
I did some testing. Although it works fast, the address book is now not synching with the carkit. Any idea about that?

Sorry - not sure about that one. My bluetooth system doesn't support phonebook synching.
I figured it out. When I have changed the Change SupportedFeatures to 45, I have changed decimal value. Now I have set hex value to 45 it has started to work. dwboston thanks a lot for all you help. If you ever come to Slovenia, I will buy you a cup coffe.)

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.

carkit problem

Hi guys
I have Skoda Octavia with full carkit abilities, this is my 1st car to have a carkit so please forgive my questions if they seem silly
I can pair my TP2 no problem in that...and my phonebook sync and every thing regarding the calls is ok
but the sms do not transfare by bluetooth to the car , can't receieve or read , or even hear a notification when i got sms ...only the incoming calls that makes sound when iam paird.. no sms sound or alarm or any thing !!!
so
1- why i can't have sms function on my carkit ?
2- why i can't at least have a notification for the sms or alarm?
3- the car cataloge say that i should have on the screan a setup list that i can manege the bluetooth from it ..and i cant find any setup list for the phone or the bluetooth !!!
4- can't i listen to mp3s using my TP2 on my car ?
i found some threads talking about some pairing prob but coudnt find answers on my questions
hope u can help me guys
help guyz
i bought a car kit MP3 player for my car. I paired it with my TP2 and enabled the "BT Audio" and "BT Handsfree". Outgoing calls work fine with no problems at all. But during incoming calls there is a problem. If the incoming call is from someone saved in my contacts, the BT carkit does not ring. If its from an unknown number (not saved in my contacts), it works perfectly. I tried all the tweaks and hacks in this forum but nothing worked. Anymore ideas.
samarrai,
sms/txts are not meant to transfer their notification sounds via bluetooth unless you're car is set to "BT Audio" or similar for music streaming from your phone. When in this mode, ALL notification sounds that go to your phone will be played through your music speakers. If you want it to work like this while listening to the radio, I'd suggest getting the radio cab for your phone and using it as your tuner (car-charger recommended, as you'll eat away battery power like crazy).
As for hearing the notifications while playing a CD or other media, best advice I can give is building a carputer
Hope this helps you - Mark

Sorry Samarrai... there has to be some setting on your head unit you arent selecting in order to have your texts show up on the screen. I know with the microsoft sync head units in ford cars its all really straight forward and I've had a chance to play around with those some but not the unit you're talking about. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer and asking them? It's probably a super easy solution that you may have overlooked when setting it up.
It always is!

the car kit was built in by the manifacture, its a Bolero Radio in my new Octavia, i can't find any setting in the car radio for the bluetooth connectivity what so ever !!!
i tried to contact HTC, they replied today by saying i should contact my car kit vendor for update!!
i don't know .. but other mobiles do sms pairing with the same radio, so it has to be my HTC..right? need tweek or something ?
@ Samarri.
Here is what I've been able to find out about various blue tooth enabled car stereos, more specifically those with an LCD screen.
Take a few minutes of your day & look into the settings of the stereo, there SHOULD be an option to update the stereo. a.k.a. Flash the stereo. If there is, look at what options it has for updating, some offer blue tooth update ability, others offer wifi over your cell phone internet.
In either case, you should more then likely need to update the stereo. Once the update is done, I'm almost 100% certain that your stereo will show the sms on the lcd screen.
More specifically your stereo, there IS an update available for it, and from what I read of the manual your stereo updates via blue tooth, so you will need to get a laptop or other way to get the file downloaded then pair it with your stereo, & update it.

Does it even say anything about showing your text messages on your carkit in the manual? If not it likely doesnt even support that feature and there for the problem is sort of mute cause it cant be done.

This is another thing my friend
i have the car manual and the radio manual they both printed 2009.
in the car service manual, it said that if my phone GSM III (which i dont know what dose it means) then i can have sms pairing showing my txt on the car screan (the Maxidot small screan which infront of the stearing wheel) that among other only GSMIII features like phone book pairing.
and casue i do have the phone book in the car screan i thought then iam GSM III !!! it said also there is also a bluetooth setup in the phone menu on the Maxidot screan, which also i don't have!!
in the radio manual there is more details about what will work on GSM III only .. but not one word about the sms function in the radio manual !! BUT may be cause they r talking on what appear on the Bolero Radio big screan ?!!! and sms and bluetooth setup only appear on the Maxidot small scran
here is 2 pages from the manual under the phone section talking about the sms function

Maybe it means a triband gsm phone? I have no idea... Get in touch with the manufacturer and find out.
I know having the phone book sync to the car doesnt require anything special for a phone just simple bluetooth I think. I set up a friends car stereo for them with their crappy flip phone that had bluetooth and was able to get the phonebook to come over so that cant be related.
Really, I doubt you'll find what you are looking for here. There's too many unknown variables that have to be taken into account here. You'll have to find out directly from the makers of your stereo how to do what you want to do. Once they tell you what you are supposed to do if you cant figure out how to do it with your phone, once you know what settings you have to have on your stereo, then come back and I'm sure someone can give you advice but right now we're sort of trying to troubleshoot for you blind.

u r right on the money in what u said my friend
I will try contacting the stero makers and see where it will leads me
thankx for ur help my friend
I found out what is the problem my friend through a skoda octavia forum
the GSM II and III is not something related to the phone, but its something related to the bluetooth of the car kit !!
the GSM II u have access as u said to the phone book also but with it u can access ur phone normaly and use any data connection funtion on it ( use the internet , update weather , ..... )
In the latest GSM III it access the phone using the RSap which disable the phone it self so as long u r hocked to the car , u can't use the phone but through the car , and so the sms , voice mail , ... are paired with the car kit to access them from there
i dont know if this GSM thing is a software i can update it or its a hardware thing, but what i know is that im surprsie that my brand new 2010 octavia have the GSM II not III
Same story here for me,((
but did you finally get to know whether its a software can be updated or its hardware issue???

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,

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.

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!

[Q] Car bluetooth and Desire - Fatal exception

Dear all,
My HTC Desire is now 15 months old, and still works as new. No, better than new since it's rooted and faster.
Coming to the problems:
My car has a bluetooth feature to stream music from the phone, and to take and make calls. Bluetooth music streaming works perfectly, and I can skip songs using the car controls.
I am facing the following issues with the "Phone Connect" feature when I pair the Desire:
After any and every incoming or outgoing call is completed, I get a pop up on the screen which says "Fatal Exception..." and I can only force close from here. When I force close, the signal strength icon shows a cross and all connectivity is lost for sometime, including BT: car says "phone disconnected". After a while the signal strength comes back and BT can be reconnected.
So basically I have to repeat this process everytime I make or answer a call via the car BT feature. Needless to say, it's a PITA.
I am guessing this is a problem to do with the radio or kernel of the phone. Not sure which. Please confirm this, and guide me to a radio or kernel file which may solve this issue.
My second problem has to do with the phonebook feature of the car. It can pull the contacts, the recently dialled numbers, recently received numbers, and missed calls. Only in the Desire it doesn't.
The phonebook feature can only see the contacts in the SIM card.
The recently dialled, received, and missed calls don't work. Numbers only show up on the car list if I have made/answered/missed a call while connected to the car BT.
The only feature that works as it should is redial.
As I am told, all Nokia models work perfectly on the same car model, and since we own a 'smart'phone, not to mention an Android, we should be able to get it to work however we want it to.
Any fixes for this one?
Thanks in advance.
PS. If you want the exact error message thrown by the phone after taking/making a call, I can write it down and get back to you afterwards.
BUMP!
Please help, guys!
