Bluetooth Issue - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I'm having a problem with the bluetooth on my desire...
I'm running stock android 2.2, unrooted...
The phone seems to work totally fine, but the bluetooth refuses to connect to my car kit... it has worked fine from day one and now all of a sudden it connects for a few seconds and then disconnects, and then when you go into the bluetooth settings to re-connect it, the menu just hangs... if you leave it for a few seconds the phone then reboots...

THANK YOU so much! That looks like it'll do the trick, now my only problem is how the eff do I install it? I've tried to copy it to the root of the mem card but it looks like the recovery thing on my phone is toast... even though it's got stock firmware on it...
Will it be easier to root the phone?

Ok, I am now Rooted and running LeeDrOiD 2.2f which apparently includes the Bluetooth fix as mentioned above...
But the problem persists...
It's definitely not the radio, because it pairs and works perfectly with another phone.
Any other ideas?

Which bluetooth fix is implemented in leedroid? I would rather recommend you a cyanogenmod 6.1 ROM, or a ROM that's built on CM. For me this fix implemented there has worked. FYI, CM are AOSP and without sense.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

The fix is "[MOD][21-July] Fix Bluetooth CarKit disconnection" and apparently fixes the issue...
Hmm, I kinda like the sense interface so would be sad to see it go...

My Desire also has a bluetooth problem in connecting with my car. Not the disconnections, but phonebook/callist access fails. Installing an AOSP Rom (or MIUI) fixes the problem, but I do like sense too.
I've concluded the sense-bluetooth stack is the culprit, however I don't have the knowledge to change the stack. Thus, I'll wait until somebody has fixed it or HTC updates the stack or until I'll buy a new phone

I am happy to say that the problem is gone when using Cyanogen Mod 6.1.0
It doesn't transfer the phone book, but the phone function works... so I'm happy...
Just have to now get used to android without sense... hmmm...

Hi, as i am having the same issue and dont really want to use a Cyanogen rom , before i do what vehicle did you get it to work with.
cheers

It was with a Pioneer DEH-P710BT head unit with built-in bluetooth...
The strange thing is that it worked absolutely perfectly for MONTHS and now all of a sudden is giving problems...
It is however, definitely the phone giving the problem because the head unit pairs perfectly with any other phone, and when using the cyanogen mod rom, the desire works perfectly with it.

CM6 RC1 w/ Kenwood KCA-BT300

I just wanted to share some info here in case anyone else was having this problem. I installed a Kenwood KIV-700 with the KCA-BT300 bluetooth addon. It connected and paired with the phone just fine, however, I noticed that I could not get contacts to sync, tried deleting and reconnecting the phone from head unit several times. Then it occurred to me that it could be my ROM (was using CM6 RC1 at the time). I flashed to AVA-FROYO6, thinking that maybe since it is closer to the stock ROM, that the phonebook would sync. It worked and now I am completely syncing with the unit. To be fair, I have not updated CM beyond RC1, as I was happy with it, so didn't feel the need to update to 2 yet, so maybe this worked in the later version.
My guess is that Kenwood works off of stock ROMS and this could be the reason that CM6 did not work completely with it. Anyway, hope this helps someone.
Cool I've got that BT add on sitting in the garage awaiting my install.
Thanks.

Well back to the drawing board. Eventually I got the same Hf-68 error again with Ava's ROM. Then I went to CM6 (release version this time) with King's first CM6 kernel and it worked for the entire time I ran that (about 3-4 weeks). Then i started having some unrelated issues so I decided to try Virus's new sense ROM based off of 3.28 leak release (RC2) with King CFS7 and low and behold I get the error again every time during the point when it is downloading the phonebook.
I am going to try Virus's senseless when he finishes uploading it and try that. I wonder if it has anything to do with the sense contacts...
So frustrating when you buy an expensive piece of equipment and it works so inconsistently.

[Q] - Bluetooth issue Leedroid

I'm having, to be fair, a small issue not found on the stock Rom. So if anyone has an idea what it is or how to fix it. Very much appreciated.
Right, I use my phone to play music in my car (Toyota prius) through Bluetooth. I've done so for a year or so one my desire hd. Then a few weeks ago I switched to the one x. Stock Rom, connecting to Bluetooth was fine. Reconnecting as well. And now the issue: I can connect for the first time (pairing), but when I try to reconnect it won't work. I have to delete (unpair) the connection and recreate it before able to use it again. So whenever I loose the connection, the only way the establish it again is to re-pair the connection. I've tried with 6.20 and with the new 6.40 version. I've went back to stock and working correctly then again. Full wipes.. multiple times. Yet I can't find any posts searching for it so I must be missing something.
Appreciate the help. Currently enjoying leedroid 6.40 very much as battery live is just amazing (worth the hassle of this bt issue).
Ps. Just don't tell me it's some button I forgot to press... If that's the case, I'll /facedesk myself a few times ;-)

Hiya mate,
I think this problem could be on the new stock rom too. Someone's posted in the General Forum along exactly the same lines...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694096
Connecting my One X to my BT car radio always worked fine. After installing 1.29 however I have problems. When connecting, it connects for a couple of seconds and then BT and Data shut down. I get the warning that there is a problem with Com.android.phone
I have to restart the phone to get back my data connection.
Anyone have any suggestion?

Sorry it's not a solution, but at least it's not just you or LeeDroid
Cheers, I also tried different kernels, but nothing.
We'll see in the future, it's no biggy.

[Q] [solved] Bluetooth ICS 4.0.4 (sandvold) VW RCD 510

Hello,
may me be helped here? I have a HTC Desire with ICS 4.0.4 of Sandvold.
In the car always I have to confirm the bluetoothpairing twice until it is coupled. I have a handfree-kit for Volkswagen with a RCD 510, in the simple version (supports handsfree profile). In my opinion, it is no problem with rSAP!
With Android vers. 2.3 the pairing was automatically...
Thanks in advance

Hello,
next problem with Bluetooth.
I've tested to pair my ics desire with a galaxy s2, it doesn't work and pairing with a galaxy
s3 doesn't work also.
Does someone know a solution or a hint/tipp?

I found nothing wrong with Bluetooth.
I can connect easily with my Car using Bluetooth and tried sending files to 4-5 different phones without any error.
its worth mentioning which Version of ROM you are using.
usually Full Wipe before flashing ROM Removes 99% Troubles
Hmm,
I've done a full wipe before.
But I'll do so again next weekend with version 0.13, hopefully that it works better.
So, I've done a full wipe and reinstall Version 0.13,
pairing is ok, but the telefone in my car rings but I can't speak/hear anything.
The phone goes always in "private mode". Change it to "hands-free", to "private mode" and return will not solve the problem. Eyerytime a call comes in the radio "rings", but the phone stays in "private mode".
The same problem after a full wipe and version 0.13.1 install
Ics 4.0.4 v.13.1 Bluetooth
Hello!
I've done a full wipe and install Version 0.13.1. After activating/disactivating bluetooth the systems gives me an error (com.android.phone). After pressing the ok button I have to reboot the phone, because there is an sim card error as well. After rebooting the phone runs normal, but everytime I use bluetooth I have the same problem again.
Before I had installed the ICS 4.0.4 v.12 and never occured an error like this. Anybody there with the same problem or the solution?
Thanks for help and greetings

Same for me.
My car does'nt find the phone, telefonbook can't sync, handsfree does'nt work, but I can answer the call without handsfree.
with Android 2.3.x no problem
Me too. Any help?
Had exactly same issue with 0.13.1: no audio through bluetooth headset or car handsfree + com.android.phone crashing when disabling bluetooth.
Downgrade to 0.12 seems to have fixed both problems for me.
Known issue reported in the development thread for 0.13.1.
Sandvold says he should have a new build (0.14) soon, no news on whether that fixes it or not however.
Yes, the new release will fix something:
Sandvold:
....and start working tomprrow.
Usb tether is fixed pluss adhoc. But its a bit unstable so wont release it and need to build a new one.

He says nothing about BT, but I'll hope it will fixed too
Hey, good news, the version 0.14 fixes the problem with audio through the headset/car speaker.
The last problem is phonebook sync with my car audio system, always the error message "phonebook sync incomplete" appears at the audio system display.
I'll hope sandvold fixes this issue too...
[solved] Bluetooth ICS 4.0.4 (sandvold) VW RCD 510
I've solved the phonebook-access with the Phone Book Access Protocol (PBAP)-Addon,
found here: http://forum.android-rsap.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=221
Now I can hear the audio through the speaker, and the RCD 510 always sync the phonebook with my HTC Desire ICS.
Tested with VW Golf VI, RCD510, "low-cost" original Handsfree-Kit from VW.
ICS Vers. 0.14 from Sandvold
Upgrading to .014 has also resolved this for me
Hi

I had that too, did a factory reset on sandvolds rom, and reflashed the latest. Problem solved. But i moved on now. You should try nikez 4.2.1 rom, its about as far as sandvold was with 4.0.4. Also an evervolv rom. Its amazing how smooth it is, and latest release is quite stable too. I assume sandvold stopped devving, as he is vanished for several months now. So time to move on!

I managed to fix the problem in the original from by replacing the Bluetooth.API with a download from Androidforums. There is a post there that has 3 versions attached. I used the 4.0.1 sz 407 KB. Works like a charm.
I hadn't checked for other ICS rooms since I got this one. I didn't know there was something else.... THANKS! Time to backup now

Need more info....download samsung phone info and post a screenshot of the firmware tab. If your bootlader and baseband dont match, theres your problem. If they do, try reflashing stock (twice) then doing a tactory reset from the stock recovery right after. If after that the issue is still present....probably something else.....mabey hardware related. Good luckl
Do you use bluetooth? I had a very similar problem and figured out that the only time I had call audio was when I was using a bluetooth headset or the bluetooth in my car. I don't know what sets it off but I've done some searching on this problem and it appears to be common among GSM GS4 owners, and even doing stuff like a complete reset doesn't fix it.
The one fix that I did find, that helped some people, was to go into Google Now and disable "Okay Google" detection from any screen. Several people found that that worked. But I didn't have that feature enabled anyway so it didn't apply.
I don't know if the same problem occurs with CDMA GS4s; my wife has a Sprint GS4 and doesn't have the problem but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think it was just AT&T and T-Mobile GS4 owners who reported this.

I don't have Bluetooth, I've tried it with a wired headset and even that didn't work, but what's so puzzling about this is that my calling works fine with Facebook messenger calling feature, hangouts and things like that

Edit:
Nevermind. It worked twice then I tried calling a different phone and it broke again. I will keep searching and update.
Original:
I have had this issue intermittently for the past year. It was fixed for about 6 months then two weeks ago started occurring again. Today I flashed a new Rom (PacMan) and the M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB firmware. That did not fix it. I was connecting to a 5Ghz WiFi so on a whim I forgot that network and made a call without WiFi enabled. Call worked!
So I connected to my 2.4Ghz WiFi and it is working again. I would try turning off WiFi and see if your calls go through if so it could be 5Ghz or the router...maybe a forget network / reconnect to network will fix it consistently.
Hope this helps you and if anything new comes up I will let you know.
So an update. I finally just gave up on it. My wife had an old phone I remembered (from 2 - 3 years ago) that was ran over and the digitizer broke. I just took her guts and put it in my phone and now it magically works. Hopefully it stays that way.
Should have done this years ago as my phone would no longer charge with the USB Cable nor was my SD Card accessible. Now it is all functioning right again.

So after flashing stock NB4 twice.....and factory resetting after from stock recovery, your still not getting call audio?.....doesnt make sense....try again and make sure the bootloader and baseband match.....and dont reboot into download from the OS.
For anyone having issues with no call audio through cell service but for some reason it works through data calls through whats app or facebook messenger, etc ,i have been having the same problem for awhile now. I believe i have traced it to be a hardware issue with the middle frame, when looking at the phone with the battery cover open on the top right over by where there are two markings R1 and L1. There is a module there labeled J-AT TMGA 7-3. When i was having issues i noticed that if i put slight pressure on that module my audio would fade back in on the call but if i put too much pressure it goes away again. If it is a hardware connectivity issue it would explain why slunked was able to get his phone working again by changing the guts in the unit. Im currently waiting for a middle frame and a blue cable for the antenna to confirm if this is indeed the issue.

T-Moble HTC 10 updated to 1.81.531.4 and now Bluetooth not working well

Hi all.
Anyone else get upgraded to 1.81.531.4 and have inconsistent Bluetooth behavior? Specifically, I cannot connect to some speakers that previously worked flawlessly. Oddly, I can still connect to my car.
My wife's HTC 10 which is still on 1.81.531.1 is still working fine with the speakers in question.

Yes! Me too! I can no longer connect to my bluetooth headphones. Not one problem before the update. None. And yes, I can still connect to my car. It is odd and frustrating. Glad at least I'm not alone. I've sought help on-line but found no solution as of yet...:crying:
I got 2 10s and both on T-Mobile I updated 1 then flashed back to leedroid rom I can't make any noticeable differences in the update. And didn't bother to update other one as its running great anyway. Wait for a bigger update or revert back to. .1 thru ruu. If you're having problems. It works with the custom roms perfectly fine and custom kernels can't forget that.
RUU will reset all settings and stuff right? Not worth the hassle for me honestly.
