Hi, I have a desire running 2.1 (awaiting vodafone uk to give us 2.2) and was wondering if there was any way I can get the phone to automatically switch on bluetooth when it is on charge...???
(ie: if I plug it into the car charger the bluetooth comes on... and switches off when not on charge)
i have tried to browse for answer but didn't find anything (or din't phrase teh question good enough)
Cheers

There's an app on market can't remember name tho

In the past I have used my HTC hero with my cars stereo to talk to people and also play my music as it is able to do both. For some reason though it looks like HTC has taken the option to play music through my car kit out of the Desire as all I can do is use the phone feature.
Does anyone know why this has been done and is there a way of getting it to do as the hero did with an apk.? Or am I being stupid here and missing something real simple?
Cheers

I got my desire yesterday and the music plays back over bluetooth to my headunit without any problem. I'd suggest re-pairing.
I too can confirm it works correctly with my new ford fiesta, using the standard bluetooth
Cheers for the feedback. I will try re-pairing again and see if it was just a bad original set up.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers

Can anyone assist me please? I'm wanting to know if it's possible to have my Desire answer automatically, after a set number of rings, while it's connected to my Bluetooth Headset. If this is not possible with Android, is there software that can do this?
Bump, I like to know that too. Any solution?

I am using PhoneWeaver for automatic profiles an there is a possibility - lte's say you have a BT profile (when BT is connected), then you can set AUTO ANSWER CALLS to ON. So you will have this enabled only while having BT profile active.
U need to download the app called AUTOANSWER. I DID IT AND IT WORKS GREAT FROM MY DROID HTC INCREDIBLE TO MY BLUE TOOTH.
Hey,
there is an app which can autoanswer / pickup calls...found it here:

can anyone tell me if I can update the Bluetooth in my HTC Desire or have more profiles. the phone is branded o2 but can be rooted. I dont want to change anything else in the ROM just make the bluetooth connect automaticaly & reliably to the car.
There are newer software builds available but have no mention of updating bluetooth.
Ther are no OTA updates available.
Software Number is 2.14.207.1
Andriod 2.2
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Can't you just pair the 2 devices together? I personally don't use Bluetooth so no idea on that aspect. Also, the software is so out of date because o2 cba to release and update. There are major updates since yours. It might be worth considering to root so then you can flash a newer ROM, or infact, you don't need to root and just use an RUU. With the newest software. No need to root it then and less chance of it mess up.
Hope this helps
I still have some strangeness with Bluetooth. From what I read there are some updates in Honeycomb and maybe gingerbread. But I don't have a feeling what you are looking for is in FroYo
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well I have a Kenwood Headunit with Bluetooth and the connection to that using stock Froyo and LeeDroid showed some interesting results. Gaps in the phonebook for instance. However, putting a 2.3 ROM (Ginger Villain) sorted that out, its fine now.
Bluetooth depends on the other device too.
What exactly is the problem you are having?
What Car do you have?
What Bluetooth system is installed (is it standard)?
I have used my desire in a number of cars (Vauxhall, Ford, BMW) without any isses with pairing, using the Phonebook,etc. is a different matter.
Personally, I have just received a new BMW 528i, and it doesn't get on well with my Desire at all.
It pairs OK and can use both the phone and music, but when I leave and return to the car, it just refuses to auto-connect again, and I have to go through the pairing procedure again.
Oh, except one - the time I went back to the garage to 'complain' about it and ask for advice, when it worked perfectly. Until I got home again!
Have experimented with my old Nokia N85, and that works fine, too. So it's either the Desire or an incompatibility between it and the car.
Oh, my Desire is running MCR r9 (FroYo) at the moment. Are there known issues with this? Info on any Bluetooth updates I could apply would be gratefully received!
i have to enter my pairing code every time i connect my bt headset - i took this to be a quirk for the moment - hoping its fixed in 2.2.2/2.3.x etc.

Im having this same problem also with a Pioneer Head Unit in my car.
Bluetooth has always been troublesome as it doesn't auto connect. It will connect if I either manually click on "Pioneer Head Unit" or turn Bluetooth off and on (which I automate with tasker).
The pin thing is new and happens with all roms I have tried except LeeDroid, (which I prefer not to use as I don't like sense much). Leedroid still has the auto connect problem.

Some good hints there - thanks!
I can connect far more reliably if I initiate the connection from the phone than from the car.
Likewise, if BT is switched off on the phone and then turned on after the car is on, then it sometimes works, too. Certainly don't need to re-pair anywhere near as often.
Can I ask how you use Tasker to automate the BT switching? I've not used that (I use Setting Profiles instead which I understand does roughly the same thing), so am curious what kind of rule you have that's useful for this.
Cheers.

I use the following rules:
On wifi connection turn off bluetooth
On wifi disconnection wait 30 seconds and turn bluetooth on.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected turn bluetooth off and on every 5 minutes.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected and incoming call turn bluetooth off and on.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected when display switched on turn bluetooth off and on.
The battery drain hasn't been a problem, if I go away or won't be using my car for a while I disable tasker. Of course this doesn't help when it keeps asking for the pin.

Ah, cunning! Of course...toggle it when it's not already connected. Prifile Settings doesn't seem to let me toggle things like BT directly, although I could probably do so by setting some appropriate profiles.
I'll have to experiment...or just buy Tasker, instead!

True, but so far in my case, I've only had that when I've tried to initiate connection from the car. Hopefully your trick will mean I don't need to do that so often.
Anyone found a gingerbread rom (or any rom!) with improved Bluetooth?
I have found the bluetooth to be terrible on the desire. I have got about 3 devices that my phone just refuses to pair with.
Currently I am trying to get it to connect with an Elm 327 Obd scanner. No luck, it asks for a pin, then I enter the pin, but it immediately rejects it.
I have tried oxygen rom, leedroid, stock froyo, everything...
I also have a parrot hands free kit that does the same thing, asks for pin, then does nothing...
Something makes me think it might be the radio or something. Except that my phone DOES connect with my scala motorbike helmet... So frustrating

Hi.
I have at one point set up my One X to start an App called "Flitsmeister" as soon as my phone connects to the Bluetooth Car Kit.
Now I don't want this function anymore, but have no idea where I have to do this.
Yes, I'm quite ashamed of myself.
grtz,
Twan
Go into settings, apps and clear defaults for that app.

Found it.
I had set up a rule in "setting profiles" to start the app at connect to bluetooth device.
Has anyone got a HTC M9 apps to work on a VW (Transporter T6) with Mirrorlink?
When connected the above apps come up but all are marked as not certified for use when vehicle is in motion.
They work fine when parked but turn off as soon as the vehicle moves which isn't exactly a lot of use.
S/W levels are:
Nougat: 4.28.401.2
Car: 8.50.834575
HTCMirrorLink: 4.00.935346
Also tried a HTC One M7 and get same problem.
Help appreciated

Well, that's a security feature and it's working as intended. Just like driving and texting at the same time using apps via mirror link that aren't programmed as car apps or don't have a car mode increases the chances of you (or others that would be using such a mod) causing an accident. Therefore, you probably won't find a "fix" here on xda since no one wants to be held responsible for any accidents that would get caused from such a mod.
Well I can understand that position however when HTC launched mirrorlink support a few years ago, coincidently on a VW, it clearly shows the apps working.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J5KNaaVRoQ
Now apps such as Dialer and Music etc are marked as not certified for use in motion where at the announcement they did not have that flag.
I did post a question to HTC and got no reply hence my asking the real experts!
As asked before has anyone got this HTC feature to work as announced?
I have checked if VW has patched their mirrorlink support recently and got told no.
Yes, I know I could use Android Auto which does support alternative apps but I would prefer to use the HTC apps via Mirrorlink.
The car in the video is standing still and not moving. And the video explains that some apps' features aren't usable while the car is in motion due to security reasons.
It might be a dumb question but you didn't mention it before: do you have the HTC car app installed? As far as I know neither the dialer nor the music app have a car mode integrated by default. The feature might get added by the car app.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Labs
Yes. HTC Car App installed. App version Car: 8.50.834575
The difference between the launch video and todays actuality is that app such as Phone are now marked as unusable in motion which is not how they were shown at the HTC launch of the product.
[IMG=https://www.dropbox.com/s/mux3qowumlppx68/htccarnowork.jpg?dl=0[/IMG]
That's my issue.
The HTC announcement shows it in a working state but now no longer works hence my asking if anyone actually has got it to work and if so, how?
Thanks for help
Gordon
But the car isn't in motion in the video. The engine is off and it's standing on a presentation platform. That's why they're working. The guy in the video says that not all app's features are usable while the car is moving.
And a quick Google Search confirms that HTC music and HTC dialer are only usable via mirrorlink while the car is not moving. It's all working as intended in your case.

OK but in the launch video the apps do not have the flag in RH top corner as in the photo above.
So will abandon HTC mirrorlink and if necessary use Android Auto instead .. or leave it running the old way just on the phone and ignore mirrorlink all together
Was your car's engine off while you took the photo (like the engine of the car in the video)?
I personally don't use mirrorlink, either. I've only connected my M9 via bluetooth with the cars that I've been driving since I own this phone. Making phone calls and listening to music (via spotify and poweramp) is working fine. Sidenote: The cars' steering wheels all have/had control buttons that I use/used for controling the phone.
You've got to find someone with VCP diagnostic system and the VIMN plugin (https://shop.vag-tech.com/index.php?p97,vimn-video-in-motion-manager). With this tool you can raise the speed threshold where the video of the app gets disabled. I'm not certainly sure, if this solves the whole problem, but it works if the app works with the car at a standstill.
Where are you located? Maybe I know someone with the system.
Sorry ICeYmx for late reply as I've been drving to Italy and back and did not have my logon credentials with me.
I live near Southampton UK.
It maybe worth testing but I'm reluctant to spend €105 on a vehicle that isn't listed .
