All;
I've tried several ROMs (including my stock one for my Tilt 2) and I still can't seem to get my phone to work correctly with my car. The phone will dial, connect for about 2 minutes, then the sound will stop coming from my car and go back to the phone. It still says the call is connected from the car, but no more sound and the phone won't reconnect by telling it to use hands-free. It also takes a good minute or so to kill the connection when I hit end on my car.
Any ideas/tweaks/registry hacks you guys can think of? I looked at the MS site for registry changes and those only messed up the phone My car worked fine with other phones and my phone will work fine with other bluetooth devices (headsets, other cars, computer, etc), its just this unholy union seems to be causing problems. I've tried bitpool changes, profile tweaks, etc to no avail. The car manufacturer says my phone 'should' work, but of course, they won't troubleshoot it...
Thanks!

Have the same problem with my volvo carkit. Manual switching off the data connection in con.man. may solve your problem temporaly. Bluetooth on HTC really sucks......
same here with vw premium phone with touch adapter and rns 510 all new but not able to connect with my tp2 all other phones work can somebody produce a solution i am happy to donate for it
Dunno if this helps, but I have a TomTom GO 750 and connect to it with the TP2 for handsfree. Im running stock wm6.5
Most of the time its OK. Occasionally the phone wont allow connections, so I have to disable/re-enable Bluetooth on the phone and all is good.
Also, sometimes, every 25 secs or so there is a beep while on a call. Kinda weird. But acceptable.
Well, at least it's not just me
Is there anyway we can change out bluetooth stacks or 'downgrade' the Bluetooth version through software/registry hack? I don't need any fancy bluetooth features, I would just really like my car to work with it!
I'll try the data connection and see, but you're right, not really a long-term fix. Thanks for the idea, I think I tried everything else and option in the gui...

I had this same issue where it wouldn't connect. What it ended up being was mis-matched bluetooth names in the various places. Check your bluetooth configuration as well as any tweak programs that may allow bluetooth tweaks, mine were set differently and freaked my car out.
Had the same issues: connection seems fine, but most of the time no sound at all.
I tried different solutions found on different websites, but for me, this one fixed all my bluetooth issues: http://www.everythingwm.com/forum/moto-q-9c/q9c-and-infiniti-g35x-bluetooth-problem-16833-4.html
I applied the registry settings (not all reg keys mentioned did exist on my phone), re-paired (renault built-in carkit), and bluetooth is working fine now.
Similar Problems on GM
I wonder if we are having problems stemming from the same root cause or multiple root causes.
Regardless, I'm having similar problems on a 2009 GMC Yukon with built in Bluetooth. The phone is connected and rings through the auto, but when I hit the off hook to answer, I get no sound and the caller gets no sound. It appears everything connects and the phone says the call is connected, but no good. Usually if I initiate the call from the phone it will work correctly and sometimes not.
I solve it be deleting the phone from the car and the car from the phone and re-pairing, but it only works well for a short while then it fails again.
I'm hoping someone comes up with a great solution(s).

Well I'll be... That is what fixed it! Well, not really a fix as I have to disable my data, but actually makes it usable.
Do you know if there is an app out there for this? NoData, while great, doesn't shut down the connection. There is a donation if someone will write one for me

Did you create the missing keys/folders or just make changes to the keys you had?
I'm willing to try anything to not have to disable my data everytime I want my phone to work! Yes, I'm that lazy to expect things to work right the first time
All right! Got it fixed, thanks guys.
1. Modify the HandsFree plug-in:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree
i. Change SupportedFeatures to 45 (default is 1135)
ii. Add value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda
iii. Add value HFDeviceType decimal 2
2. Modify the WIDCOMM bluetooth general settings:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General
i. Change bdaddr to (no value)
ii. Change DisableReopenAudio to 0 (default is 1)
3. Reboot device
I tested it for a few minutes and it was solid and sounded good, no freaky occurances. We should sticky these for other people having BT issues...
Credit to EverythingWM and aert for the pointers!
thats good news loki but some values i can not find in my registry i will try to add them and then give it a go

Yes, I added the missing ones, restarted the phone, re-paired with my car and, so far, works great. I'll give it a week before I start doing the happy dance.
is it possible to make a cab or reg key file for it
I can create a reg for all the keys except the HFBDA key. That should match the LastConnectedBDA key which may be different on our phones. What is yours set to? Mine is 00,1e,ae,20,c2,80. I wouldn't want to have someone import it when the setting isn't right for their particular build/version/etc.

Could anyone explain what these settings mean? There is no point of tweakin something if I do not know what each of setting does, well of course it has a point of tweaking it, but I would really like to know what it means. Does anyone has a problem syncing the phonebook after aplying that tweak or it is just me?
Thanks for help!
Can someone explain what all of these REG changes do?? I dont want to end up like before. There was a CAB floating around that was supposed to fix the BT issues and while it made it better it drained my battery VERY VERY quick.
Do these changes have any effect on battery life???

WOW.. now when my TP2 rings, I actually get the custom RINGTONE out of my GARMIN NUVI SPEAKERPHONE and it doesnt DROP calls right after the first ring AND I can answer and hangup fine.. the phone book is still a little messed up in that any contact with ONLY a COMPANY NAME and not a first and last name loads as a phone number in the name field...
Does anyone know if any of these REG changes degrade battery life? I am asking because a while back I had a CAB that was supposed to fix the bluetooth and while it improved the paring, it drained my battery live very very fast.
Also can someone explain WHAT these reg changes and additions do? I would really like to know what I am doing to fix the issue...
-- Dave
One more thing, now with the fix, it appears on my garmin, when I press LAST DIALER, LAST RECEIVED or MISSED, I get NO DATA AVAILABLE .. I didnt have this problem before the fix.. Is there a solution??
Thanks....

correct; mine is different from that.
also, the bdaddr key keeps resetting itself when I reboot my phone.
I even tried changing the key type to something other than binary, and it still reset itself to binary, and changed back tot he default value.
These hacks did not work at all.
I came across this cab that changes some BT settings, but at least one guy reported it draining the battery very quickly (not enough posts to post links...sheesh):

Does anyone have Microsoft voice command version 1.5? And if you do, with the incoming caller announcement enabled, do you get a static clicking sound on your phone device when you get and incoming phone call? I am using a XDA IIs and have this issue. Is there a work around for this issue? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Mike
I too have the problem of sound stuttering.
I've never installed any version of voice command.
Al applications playing sound, like media player or any other music player and even the spoken words from TomTom seem to suffer from this.
Since all WAV/MP3 audio seems te suffer from this I gather it must be a CODEC issue of some sort, probably caused by installing some application that has overwritten system files.
Does anybody know a way to solve this ?
It does not seem to occur after a hard reset, I havent tried reinstalling applications one by one to find the culprit, I just restored a Sprite backup.
Yes, I've got the same problem... I just upgraded to VC1.5, and the clicking is only on the announcement of incoming calls... all else seems fine.
Treo
same here with my pda2k.
I have the same issue.
To solve that, Just disable this function.
Tap at start >setting >personal >voice command
at Phone option disable "Announce incoming calls"
I think version 1.5 has so many option that you can select more that the old one.
Voice command over bluetooth is still not work.
I'm afraid this is a more general problem (see earlier threads). There are also problems with WM10 and GPS. I've found that WM10 is OK when No other programm is running. GPS is a larger programm and continues to give voice problems. Maybe the problem can be solved if we could increase the working memory. Who has a suggestion?
I know un checking that option will fix the issue but then I can't use it. So it does not solve the issue. LOL so if anyone does know a way to make the audio a higher priority or something to make it work please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
Fixed it, you have to use resco and change audio priority in settings to 110 in registry. Works like a charm now.
MIke
Hi Mikee4fun,
Could you be more specific about which key/value/data in registry that you changed to fix this?
Thanks in forehand!

Can you share the registry entry that needs to be changed?
Ditto, I'd like to know too please cos I've got the same problem.
Own an XDAIIs and use Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 with the stuttery incoming call announcements. Everything else works flawlessly.
Is Microsoft Voice Command the dogs b*ll*cks when it comes to voice recognition! It's the most accurate voice recognition system I've come across. Well done Microsoft, you've made something that works well (for a change ) , apart from stuttery voice announcements of course.
anybody experiencing about 1 to 2 second lag before the ringtone actually rings when you have incoming calls with announce incoming call enabled?
I'm having voice command installed on my Storage area of my Xda ii mini. I'm wondering if that's the reason why it lags?
Here is the exact registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
A detailed thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=107031#107031
Well I just noticed this static noise while announcing the name with MVC or playing any other audio on the Blue angel only, I tried it on the hima it works flawlessly it never occured
VC 1.5 static problems
:twisted: yup just tried the fix with resco registry editor and all is fine
thx for the info
just another reason why this site is so good imo
OK.. Folks... after all the hard time i am facing with my unit. And all the love and care i spend on my BA. I came to the conclusion that the problem with the "No Sound" issues is link to the bluetooth.
What happened to the "No Sound" issue is that when making/receiving a call, the unit will try to connect to the BlueTooth Handfree profile (even if the Bluetooth is turn off!!!!). So, when this happens, the speaker and mic is disable because the unit "thinks" is connected to the Bluetooth Handfree profile.
Some user suggested that when the "no sound" issues occur, you can either soft reest or you can turn on/off your bluetooth and that will cure the problem for a while units it happens again.
What i did, i disable the entire bluetooth so that it will not load up on startup. Once i did that, the problem never did came back.
Procedures:
On root "Windows/StartUp" remove the file "Run_BTTrayCE" (same it somewhere else) then reset your unit.
Once the unit is reset, the bluetooth will not load on startup, that means the bluetooth is disable.
if you want your bluetooth to run again. you can either place the "Run_BTTrayCE" back on "Windows/StartUp" or to run the "BTTrayCE" in the Windows dir.
I hope some experts here can take this advice and see if they have any clue with what's going on..
BTW: Upgrading Radio Rom, or Bluetooth stack will not do anything so pls. don't waste your time on it.
I hope i have helped someone out there who is piss with this problem.
Derek
HappyGoat EDIT: I took a typo out of the title so it reads better, hope you don't mind...
Hey there!
I like your solution but I personally think it might be a bit overkill! I used to use the Bluetooth all the time on my XDAII but on my XDAIIs I only use it for my bluetooth GPS. I am going to try deleting the profile for my Bluetooth headset and see if that makes any difference (seen as I don't use it because the sound quality is terrible).
I'll post back with results!

Still dont work even take away the file!
Hi, I do it as you say
just cut and past the file into my Storage Card
and i do a soft reset
"No sound no voice " problem still exist
Should i just delete the file entirely instead of just cut and paste it some where?
I am afraid that i will loose this file forever therefore i save it on my storage card
i dont know if this going to be a problem?
Please help this problem make me sick for almost 5 days already
Umm, creamcream, there is no reason to worry. In the worst case scenario where you lose the file, you can just re-flash your rom, or ask another forum member to send you the file. I would gladly do so.
creamcream: Is your bluetooth disabled? And, if so, you are still experiencing the no-sound problem? Because if you are, then you have discredited this theory.
thanks the lastone
Hi, i solve the problem at this time
I just want to knwo how u update 1.40 rom?
is it stable?
Official?
I am worry that if that is not official it will be very dangerous for my Xda IIS
by the way is it fit for all model
such as
sx 66, ppc 6600 and Xda IIs
is it simple to do so?
can i have the link where to download thankyou "thelastone"
If you are planning on upgrading your rom to the current highest version, 1.40.00, then I recommend you check out wiki for instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
If you do it properly, it is perfectly safe.

Hi Creamcream
I just want to know when you move "Run_BTTrayCE" to your SD Card and follow by a soft reset. When you unit boots up, do you see the BT icon on the bottom right hand corner? If the icon is still there, that mean you haven't successfully disable your Bluetooth from startup.
Also, the other way to try it is try running your bluetooth manager. if your bluetooth is turn off, it will give you a errors message saying your Bluetooth fail to turn on.. somthing like that.
Pls let me know your result....

You don't need to disable BT completely,
it will be enought to disable Hands-Free service
in BT Settings/Services/Hands-Free/
uncheck: Enable service
and in Advanced menu
uncheck "Telephone calls" for sure

@stachoo...wow, I hope this works for me..Ive just disabled the bluetooth using your method... will have to check the results...if this works for me then your a Lifesaver!!!!Tnx.
It has been almost 24 hrs since I disabled the hands free service... and I did about 5 calls, and until now I havnt experienced any "no sound" problem...I hope this is it!!!! Thanks!!! :lol:
GUYS
what about this problem :
The bluetooth turns off when you power off the screen ??
My findings so far:
If I keep Bletooth on all the time "nosound" never happens. At least not for about a week and did no softresets. However after some time something brakes regarding bletooth serial. The GPS thinks it´s online but nothing gets through. Closing and opening the serial port cures it momentarily. (This was with handfree services enabled). This never happend when I toogled Bluetooth on/off regulary.
Tried the trick to disable handsfree service yesterday but without unchecking "use handsfree for telephone calls". With Bluetooth turned off tonight the nosound reappeared, so just disable the main handfree service is not enough.
Have now also unchecked "use handsfree for telephone calls" and will report back if nosound occurs again.
(To the guy whos Bluetooth turns off: You probably have an old sw version where our nosound problem had not been introduced yet. 1.12.00 or soo...)

Disabled BT handfree and unchecked "Telephone calls" yesterday but unfortunately the nosound bug hit anyway tonight.
The idea to disable the handsfree service was a nice one but no, it did not prevent the nosound bug to strike!
Back to my own solution that sofar has prevented the nosound bug: Keep Blutooth on all the time.
i have tested all this but the only thing that wrked was...
right guys I have been reading and trying but the only thing thats worked for ME was radio rom upgrade seriously. I have an SPV m2000, i have tried all ROM updates, and at the moment I am on is...
by the way I upgraded to radio version 1.12 but this never solved it so i went back to 1.10 which works,
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
radio version: 1.10.00
protocol version:1337.391
ExtROM version:1.31.124
I dont know but i managed to only install what I wanted of this (orange rubbish ext rom)
NOW FOR THE DOWNSIDE MY UNIT USED TO BE SOFT RESETTED EVERYDAY, but now i only reset very very LESS times, its definetly better than before I can vouch for that. BUT WE NEED SOMETHING SOLID.
Product recall????? :lol:
Such problem as creamcream has
I have no sound from speaker (only on incoming call - it rings)
But in all other cases it keeps silence.
Flashing new ROM doesn't helps too.
It didn't helps for me.
Nor Bluetooth disabling, nor Flashing.
You say that you solve that issue.
Sorry - but I don't understand how did you do it?
Answer please -
What to do?
Thanx in advance.
OK, just to say I'm having the same problem for too long time now. No sound on calls nor the other party can hear me.
I've opened another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44440
And, like I said there, I'm desperated.
All,
I've just upgraded from WM5 to WM6 with HTC Home RevROM, which is excellent, however, I have this strange issue.
First, I paired my laptop through Internet Sharing over a Bluetooth PAN - works perfectly.
Second, I paired my Jabra BT2020 earpiece.
As soon as the Jabra was paired, the list of devices under Settings->Bluetooth->Devices was empty. Not even the words "Add new device" is present........
I have checked, and I can still continue to use my laptop through Internet Sharing, and I can also use my Jabra earpiece to take phone calls.
Switching the phone off/on and Soft Resets do not solve this problem. Only a hard reset will solve it - but then of course I have to re-enter everything - which I have done, only to have the problem re-occur, hence it is repeatable.
Has anyone else seen this issue and could help me with a solution. I have searched the forum (and Google) to no avail.
Many thanks,
BrianP6

Hey man, Unfortunatly this is a bug with my current kitchen, I believe he is using parts of it for making roms. I'm working to fix it soon in my kitchens.
Peace,

Thanks for the quick reply Josh,
Do you have any ideas at the moment as to the cause? Is it the number of connections, type of connections....... so that I can avoid the bug cropping up.
Also is there a workaround that you're aware of....
oh, and nice work chef

This bug appears only when 2 or more devices get paired.
I've been trying everything, even abusalza himself suggested some module replacement. i'm working on replacing drivers and certain folders in sys in my kitchen but still nothing yet... so far not yet, but it's fixable, i just gotta figure it out.
Thanks Josh,
I guess you'd know this anyway, but for completeness and for the benefit of the whole forum.........
Even though the paired devices are no longer shown in the Bluetooth Devices window, and you can no-longer use your HTC to pair more devices, then so long as you carefully initiate the pairing from the other device, it will be recognised, PINs will be requested and devices configured appropriately. I have just done:
Audi A4 in car kit
Laptop via Internet sharing
Jabra earpiece
None appear on the Devices window, but all (so far) appear to work perfectly.
Cheers,
Brian.
I have had a similar nagging problem with my Motorola S9 and Hermes 100/Cingular 8525. After a new flash, I can pair the headset and the phone relatively easily. During first pairing, I am *not* prompted for the headset's PIN. Over time, switching between phone and music functions becomes more unreliable. Icons disappear while the headset is in use. Discontinuing a call with the headset results in audio resuming through the external speaker instead of the headset, etc.
Eventually, out of the blue, the headset will fail to pair; and I will receive a prompt to enter the PIN number for the headset. I enter the PIN and the phone refuses to accept that it's the correct PIN. From that point on, I'm screwed until I reflash the phone. It never works properly anymore.
This has happened across multiple ROMS, including some of Josh's that I've tried. It happened again the day before yesterday with one of TAI_Sw's ROMS I'm currently using. In this case the profile in Bluetooth settings appeared to be corrupted. The profile no longer read "Motorola S9". Instead it showed a series of block characters (like unsupported fonts). I was able to delete the profile, and, after multiple resets (hard and soft) the phone finally redetected the headset and we went through the configuration wizard again. It's been mostly working well since then.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Yep, I have experienced everything you mentioned at one time or another, even the square characters showing up in the device list.
I have gone all the way back to test Faria R32 ROM. It's amongst the best I've found for A2DP with the S9's along with some of PDACorners early ROM's. The drawback are that it doesn't have the 1% battery increase .dll cooked in and also still exhibits the "numbers for character during a call" bug.
It does have nearly 31 MB of memory free after fresh install though. (using 4MB pagepool - default is 6MB)

It frustrated me enough that I started building my own rom!
I released one version here that I have been running for quite some time with no issues in the bluetooth at all.
I need to tweak it a bit more to make it "polished" but it is very useable and stable. I just wanted to run it for a while to see how it is going to act over a longer duration before I continue to fool with it, and I have been rather busy here lately.
Well, if you have a magic potion, please share with the community. And, by the way, this is the only device I pair to my Hermes; so this may be different from the problem Josh and others have described.

i just installed your new v15 color(thanks very much for that release it looks great) and i definitely want to pair 2 devices with the phone. this has worked for me in whichever random wm6 rom i found on the web last year and i have been trying to find the right rom for me this week so my question: is this a random bug, is there a trick to doing it right or am i just plain sol?
Hmmm - doesn't happen on my ROMs...
The suspect things I'd be looking at in SYS are:
Bluetooth
Bth_A2DP
Bth_HID
Try replacing those folders with known good ones and see if the problem still happens...

Well, if you have a magic potion, please share with the community. And, by the way, this is the only device I pair to my Hermes; so this may be different from the problem Josh and others have described.

No Magic potion! lol
I basically did what CRCinAU described. (His rom doesn't have the issue, and feels a bit faster than mine. But, I was looking to create "My perfect rom").
But I also replaced files in the redist folder with "bt" in their name, with files from a known working rom (anryl's 20755). Like I said I wanted to run the rom for a while, now I just need to go back and tweak and clean up some things in the rom before I make another release.

it is a really odd issue and seems to only affect the hermes... Here is the deal, Some chefs when porting sys grab the cplmain.dll to get the build number and keep some other items in their kitchen sys for stability purposes... I have noticed in my experience when porting, if the cplmain.dll does not match some other components with the same build number it will cause this issue. usually resist, shell, os, folders have been containing these sensitive items. so in short, if the issue is occuring cplmain.dll in redist folder does not match other components in your sys causign the conflict.
edit, and oh. i've tried replacing all bluetooth which had no effect.
So to fix this, the chef needs to report sys correctly and recook the rom.
Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with the RCD 510 Premium Bluetooth kit that is installed on the new VW Scirocco and its been troubling me for over 2 months now.
When I first got my Scirocco the Bluetooth connection was working fine (for 3-4 months). One day out of a sudden the Touch Pro II was not pairing anymore with the car's bluetooth kit.
At the time I was using Windows Mobile 6.1 that originally came along with the phone. I tried the basics - deleting the connection, re-pairing - with no success.
So I gave a shot at phone's factory reset - still no luck. The phone is recognized when I use the "Device Search" function on the car, it prompts me to enter the pass code provided, I do so, the phone loses the GSM signal (which of course is normal) but then suddenly I get a message on the RCD510's main screen "No bluetooth connection to phone" that lasts for about 2 seconds.
Since the problem began, I tried factory reset the phone (as I mentioned before), and tried pairing before installing even a single software, still no luck.
I tried multiple ROM's in the meanwhile (I mean third-party ROMs from this forum) and now I am using the official Windows Mobile 6.5 from HTC for my phone.
I also did many tests using third-party applications for the rSAP protocol (JetWare hands-free extension, SAPSettings, some patches and drivers found around the net here and there) even though there is native support for rSAP since the first firmware that came along with the device.
As I mentioned before, the phone was pairing fine the first 3-4 months.
Please note that this phone uses the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack - not the Microsoft one.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I apologize for the big length of the post, but I believe the more the information I provide, the more the chances to get proper help
Sorry i cant help you but.. I want your CAR...
Any pics?
Well.. try this
Unhook the cars battery. Let it reset the radio (make sure you have the radio code if any) and try again.. maybe the radio is holding some sort of setting. Resetting to default (like with the device) might do the trick..
.
Thanks for the idea. I'm kind of worried though plugging out the battery, because there are many settings besides the radio that probably will be lost if I do so.
You know all these new cars and their complicated electronic sensors...I don't mind losing minor settings for the car that I have adjusted, my main concern is that if anything goes wrong, I will probably have issues with the car's warranty. I still have 2 and a half years of warranty.
I' will probably have a talk with the dealership before doing that.
Many thanks for your thought though
hi i like to know if pairing went okay with the 6.1 rom because if so maybe when you switch back to this rom problems are solved
Nop
Unfortunately no
It was one of the first things I tried. Switching back to the official 6.1 ROM. I actually kept it saved on my hard disk and I tried it a couple of times - I mean when I tried other ROMs from time to time - hoping it would resolve the issue.
And that's the strange of this case. I mean, it was working (pairing) fine the first couple 3-4 months when I unboxed the phone, and then out of a sudden, no pairing.
First logical thought would be that something has changed in the car's settings. But I have an Athena X7500 that pairs fine with the car up to this day. My car's dealership isn't much of a help...
Second thought - phone settings mess-up. But as stated in my original post, no factory reset helped, no switching to other ROMs, no playing around with settings.....
I'm really desperate. I'm thinking to switch to another phone, but besides this problem I'm quite satisfied with the TP2. And I do "need" Windows Mobile based phones, because I sync with Thunderbird's Lightning via BirdieSync for a long time now, and I am not willing to revert back to the horror days of MS Outlook. I carry my TB profile for over 2 years now and its customized the way it suits me for manipulating my 10+ email accounts.
Thank you very much for your reply though
Any other thoughts/recommendations?
i downloaded firmware 1.20 from volkswagen hope this will help me will try tomorrow with my laptop i am with a touch adapter connected to rns 510 no pairing with tp 2 at the moment for me the only workable solution is a duo sim with my old blackberry bold meanwhile i love he TP2 so hope i can get it to pair with my premium touch adapter volkswagen carkit any other suggestion or solutions are very welcome cheers
And that's the strange of this case. I mean, it was working (pairing) fine the first couple 3-4 months when I unboxed the phone, and then out of a sudden, no pairing.
what radio where you on first couple of months
Nice thought about the radio....but unfortunately I don't remember.
Currently I am using v4.49.25.17 that was upgraded with the latest official HTC firmware of WinMo 6.5 if I am not mistaken.
I am 90% positive though that the problem started before even upgrading, back when I was using the first release of WinMo 6.1 and the unknown version of radio, and everything was working ok at the beginning.
I know, I am not helpful at all but frankly, this problem surprises me as much as you.
You mentioned a firmware upgrade - for the RNS right? Not the RCD....
Do you by any chance happen to know if there is a firmware upgrade for the RCD510 and where can I get it from?
Thanks for your help.
looking-g:
I just realized that you are having a problem with the RNS.
Did you had this all along? I mean, did you ever managed to get it working and then it stopped, or you never had it paired?
I am just asking to see if I can be of any help...
well the problem is not with the rns 510 but with the touch adapter which come delivered as premium carkit i use to pair everything with it blackberry,s nokia,s and also a touch dual (niki) without any problem but now with my new phone the tp2 its not pairing it also never did after i fill in the pincode it gives an error message it should connect with the touch adapter my car by the way is a golf gti mk6 cheers, mark
You kind of lost me there.
What do you mean "touch adapter"? Is this a component of the RNS 510? Because I have never heard of it...
Have you determined a solution?
I just picked up a new VW Jetta with premium bluetooth and it worked the first time and not since.....
You guys are scaring me -- I have an Audi A3 TDI scheduled for delivery in January, and it'd be a bummer if its Bluetooth didn't work. FWIW, my current car has a Sony MEX-BT3700U headunit and the Tilt 2 pairs with it in both handsfree & A2DP modes.
3waygeek: You will be probably fine. I think Audi does not have anything to do with Nokia regarding building their units.
Wish you best luck with that.
Extra info
Some more information regarding the whole subject:
I found out that when I press the "Emergency Call" option on the touch screen of the RCD510 (i.e. try to call the international emergency number - 112) and then immediately end that emergency call, the next time I try to pair the Touch Pro 2, it does pair!!! But it has no signal at all, and if you try to make a call you get a "Dial up error" (or something like that, can't remember exactly)!
Any ideas what could be the reason for that?
Thanks.
Your problem is common to VW/Audi's. Chances are the car kits have the rSAP Bluetooth unit. I had exactly the same issue in my A6 using rSAP, as soon as i upgraded to wm 6.5 the problem went away.
Yes, indeed the car kit uses the rSAP profile, as well as the Phonebook Access Protocol (PBAP), but both of these protocols are supported by the TP2. Actually the rSAP functionality I believe is support in Windows Mobile 6.1 and above - I mean besides the fact that your phone's BT radio must support it in order to work correctly. (Without being entirely sure for the above comment).
And some more info for those who are willing to give an opinion:
I did eventually decided to remove the car's battery. I left the car without battery for approximately 40 minutes. Now here's the strange part: All the settings of the card indeed reset (window settings, light settings, etc) BUT the RCD510 was not affected at all by the battery removal! Yes, as weird as it might sound, the station list was there, bass/tremble customizations were there also, everything in place (regarding the radio unit always).
Side note for all those who might remove the battery from a similar VW car:
As soon as I plugged the battery back on, I had somewhere 15+ warning indicators on my dashboard turned on. From ABS malfunctions, air pressure, EPS malfunctions etc. But after rolling the car for 3m or so everything turned off. Back to normal. Probably had something to do with the electronic sensors giving proper signal to the car's "brain". Just my opinion.
Now, besides that - the fact that removing the battery didn't perform a reset of the radio (RCD510) unit, I also tried reverting my Touch Pro II to a WM 6.1 cooked ROM - don't remember which one exactly - but that didn't helped either. Same stupid error message after pairing for 2 secs: "No bluetooth connection to mobile phone".
And to confirm again: My X7500 (Athena) with a cooked WM6.1 ROM from michy still pairs and works fine. (Tested it last night, just to make sure that battery removal didn't had any side-effects)
PLEASE help me if you can. Any suggestion/recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
PS: I decided to contact the car's dealership to inform them about the whole problem. I will post soon regarding how that went...
Thanks for your time everyone...
By the way, does anyone knows the proper way to reset the RCD 510 to it's factory default settings? Besides the function that is given inside the menu itself - I already tried that. I was just wondering if there was a "hidden" way that will entirely wipe all settings/customizations from the unit....
Hi guys! I m in the same situation: Sirocco + TP2 with 6.5 from Orange. Any progress from your side? Ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers, P
Unfortunately!
No friend, sorry. No news yet.
I do keep the post open hoping that someone will give me a new year's present
It's nice to know that I am not alone though
I've been reading myself silly trying to figure this out & my attempts at Searching haven't helped, probably because I'm not fluent enough to use the correct terms. In spite of having this device for several months, I've never learned as much as I'd like. Anyway . . .
I finally flashed the newest stock ROM from HTC several days ago. The process seemed to go fine with one exception: I keep getting a notification that I have a new Voicemail when I don't. I check -- no new Voicemail. I Dismiss, but the the notification keeps coming back periodically. Suggestions?
Other than that, things seemed to go smoothly, and I started slowly getting things back the way I like them. After reading & making sure I understood (or so I thought), I installed the .NET 3.5 Framework so I could use Crud Scraper to get rid of the stuff I clearly remembered using it for.
The .NET part went fine, and then I did the soft reset . . . and lost My Location on the Today screen that shows my weather. It now says I'm in Seattle, which I'm not -- I'm over a mountain range & about 350 miles east of Seattle. When I try to change the location, it doesn't find my town or anything in my area, for that matter..
The mysteriously (to me) reappearing Voicemail Notification is bad enough, but I really rely on the weather, particularly this time of year, and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure this out. Suggestions?
TIA
Did you try looking at the several threads on this ROM in the Rom Development forum? There's a fix in one of them for this problem.
For which problem? And, do you have any idea what thread?
And, yes, I did look in the thread I found (New ATT Tilt2 ROM) -- I believe I read every post before I flashed the latest ROM, even though much of it was over my head. That's where I learned that I had to install .NET 3.5 & reboot before CrudScraper would work.
I recall several people mentioning that the My Location worked flawlessly & how great it was having the location, and I read where one or two people seemed to be having the same weather problem I'm having, but I didn't see an answer. I read in one of the forums that there seems to be a bug (although not confined to the latest ROM) in certain parts of the world, and I read a thread where there seemed to by a problem with My Location in a cooked ROM that might or might not have been related to GPS not working. I read something else where My Location wouldn't work with 3G, only with Wi-Fi, so I tried that, even though My Location was working just fine after I flashed to the latest ROM -- that didn't help.
So, it's not like I'm asking because I hadn't already tried to find solutions myself. I'm not doubting that there are answers to both of my issues but rather that after spending several hours over the weekend trying to find the solutions, I've been miserably unsuccessful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked.

For the My Location feature, only part of the service is understood. For the most part, the location is determined by the cell towers your device connects to. It depends on where you are as well as the signal strength. Sometimes the request is not sent or received to/from the tower(s). It is more accurate usually when 3G is turned off. The alternative is to add your city manually. If the location servers can't figure out where you are, then it won't work.
Normally the stock ROMs fix this and work wonderfully after flashing. The best solution to this is to turn off 3G to get a fix or find your city manually.

I'm feeling really stupid here, but being a glutton for punishment, I'll keep trying.
Is it possible that maybe there was something wrong with the towers here that just happened to coincide with the soft reboot after installing .NET? The reason I ask is that My Location is now correct. Yay! That would be just my luck: bad timing.
Any suggestions about the incorrect Voice Mail notification? It for sure comes back each time I power up the phone. It seems to me it also reappears at other times, but I'm not positive about that -- I'm going to try to pay better attention.

Make sure to install .NET CF 3.5 to the device and not the storage card. You'll then need to restart, if it doesn't ask you to do so. You then need to force it to use 3.5 over 2.0. Use a registry editor and navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Then change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.
For a decent registry editor that can be used from the PC side, check out CERegEditor if you don't already have an editor of choice.
For the voicemail problem, there are two known solutions. You can either have someone call and leave you a voicemail. You would then check it and delete it. You can also simply call your provider and have them reset your voicemail account. Either one should work.
If neither of those options works for/appeals to you, you can give this a shot. There are no guarantees that it won't come back after a soft reset, though. Using a Registry editor, navigate to the following keys:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line2\Unread
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread
There should be a value name "Count" with a REG_DWORD value
Change value to 0 in decimal or 00 in Hex.
It should remove voicemail notification icon from the taskbar.

Many thanks! For the Voicemail, I used method one, and it worked
And, thanks for the instructions (and the reg edit program suggestion) to force use of .NET CF 3.5 because I missed that part -- yikes.
I'm on a dedicated mission to cut down on the elecronics I have to carry around, so I need to learn more about the features of the Tilt2 because if I can just figure things out (which I've not forced myself to do), the Tilt2 will, I think, be able to replace my PDA & iPhone.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!
