Damn...I was afraid of that. I was hoping that flashing the new EC05 modem and Bonsai ROM would take care of the BT issues. I just got my phone configured the way I wanted and now have to start over.

Just make sure to use Titanium backup and when you restore all your apps restore the data for TWcrushlauncher.apk (or whichever launcher you are on) and your homescreens will be back the way you left it.

Isn't there a chance that restoring data using Titanium Backup will also bring over the "corrupted" BT files too? I was assuming I would need to start with a completely clean slate and restore/install apps from the market one at a time.

let you know shortly, i still need to borrow mys dads bluetooth headset and i assume it will work, although i odined back to stock and just restored apps, and it was a good decision before going to bonsai cause, my phone was probaly loaded with old crap and it was slowing it down...

Ok well it seemed to connect perfectly with only one pair message.. didnt seem to have as many issues, although it did make me reclick the device to connect it only once..
but the headset was dead and charging so i will charge it a little and let you know more seems tho its much improved then it was on connecting!!
Update: Bluetooth issues is fixed!!! Worked perfect like it should, when you toggle it on and off it just ask you to accept pin and then connects flawlessly!!! YAY!!!

Don't bring all your data over. Once you have put the clean system on and got the ROM back on and redownloaded and installed apps, just bring in the launcher data. No BT info is in there.

Well, that worked!! All BT issues appear to be fixed. I can pair with my Jabra SP700 and make calls and stream music. Bluetooth toggling doesn't require me to enter a PW again and connections appear to hold.
For those with BT issues, a clean wipe and flash is the way to go.

EC05 definately fixed the Bluetooth for me. I tested it with a few different ones. No longer get the losing pair issues. When I do a battery change and the phone boots up, I turn on my Bluetooth and it connects right back up

WTF is up with my 3G?

My phone has always randomly had a little glitch. For some reason, once every so often my 3G icon just disappears and stuff like my internet and market dont work. SMS still works fine though. Normally just a reboot fixes the problem but today I had to pull the battery. This happened even when I was fully stock but now I'm running DC 3.2.3 still with the stock kernal. Any similar experiences?
Running all-stock with no root. Happens to me also.
Full bars for signal (calls and texts) but the 3G icon stops transferring. I just put the DATA widget on my homescreen and toggle it. Not really a big deal...so far.
Same things happening to me it wont connect to 3g and freezes most of the time. Just started about 2 days ago

Anyone know anything about this problem? My phone now randomly restarts even when im not using it from trying to connect to 3g im guessing. Keyboard also stops working randomly

are you running a rom?
...If you are you should try flashing a stock rooted and see if the problem still exists. If it does you may want to try to unroot, go back to stock and update everything. Then you can narrow down if it is rom/software/hardware related
Yes i am running stock rom rooted. What do you mean by update everything?

I was also running stock rooted at first. Here is a weird update I just came across though. I've installed (and uninstalled) SwitchPro, which is basically a more customizable widget than the stock power control widget, 3 times now. And every time I add the actual widget to my home screen my 3G instantly disappears.....wtf? I uninstall it and reboot my phone and it's back to normal.
I'm gonna dig in to this a bit after I get back from the gym.

I just meant that if you unroot the phone, make sure your radio's are updated to stock, update your profile and prl, then you could determine if it is hardware related or maybe you just have a bad signal?

I think he means Device Self Service. Updating your PRL, Firmware and Profile.
I forgot to mention that when my 3G becomes "sketchy" this is the 1st thing I do. After that do a soft-reset and pull the battery out.
##RTN# - enter MSL - click menu, reset.
This is the only way I've found to fix this.
It wipes out ALL of your information so make sure you are backed up and synced. It is just like getting the phone new out of the box - it will auto-activate and you should be good to go.
If you don't have your MSL, call Sprint technical support and ask for it.
Thats pretty disapointing that that seems to be the only awnser. Will try when iget back from my vacation. The problem that makes me really mad is that it reboots randomly even when the screen is off in my pocket. Any backup app recomendations?

[Q] Jesus Help me... seriously everything is FCing

OK background info: I am running Skyraider 2.5.2 with the Hydra Kernel #2 and 2.15 radio. That said, my phone was working fine this morning and all day really until I did this:
I hooked up my phone to my XBOX 360 so I could listen to some music on my home theater. The xbox was NOT detecting the portable drive, so I double checked it was set to 'disk drive' and I even turned of USB debugging in case that was an issue. Then my phone fades to black and suddenly I'm staring at the Unrevoked splash image. No problem, I figured. Wrong!
When it booted back up I slid over the lock screen button and the phone starts loading programs (ones that I dont normally see in the notification bar ie: startup manager) Then I'm hit with a barrage of Force Closes. Like a dozen of them. Pandora, SWype, and my beautiful widgets clock and weather are not loading on the homescreen either. I look in the apps directory and my apps2SD program is gone, just gone. It was there when I woke up this morning I do know that much.
So what the hell is going on? Does it have something to do with me plugging it into the Xbox, and why is my apps to sd program gone? Is that why a lot of prgrams are all FC. Also, Pandora was definitely on internal storage and NOT on the SD card.
I hadn't made a Nand backup in a little bit, so I can't do that.
What is the easiest way to get back to normal?
Do I have to go back to bare stock? Or can I just wipe everything and run Titanium?
Please, any suggestions would be immensely appreciated. Like I said it seems like this all happened right out of the blue.
ALso, whenj I start Astro File manger, the user agreement comes up like I've never used the program before, then it FC's and when I re-open it, it does the same thing with the user agreement even though I just f***** used it!
Have you tried fixing permissions with Rom manager first?

I can't open up anything!! ROM manager is suddenly NOT INSTALLED ON MY PHONE. This is bull-expletive!
...ok Market actually opened and allowed me to download ROM manager.. Now to see if I can open it.. NOPE!
Now the market is telling me i have 22 updates lol
i would do a hard reset and reinstall sky raider
AND NOT PLUG IT IN TO XBOX

hard reset= wipe/factory reset?
....anybody?
Yup, factory reset and then you can use Titanium to get back to where you were the last time you backed up.
you seriously tried to connect your phone to xbox 360 through a usb port and set to disk drive...
Yeah I didn't realize that would be a bad thing. Got just about everything back to normal now. Sorry for all the caps, but I was pissed. I hate having to redo all this crappy time after time. I'm sure ill be at it again when the ota rolls out this week.
So hooking up to xbox screws up Android phones? Who knew

That's not a bad idea, I just tried it with mine, and it worked fine. The 360 can play media (Video, Audio) off any USB storage, which is exactly what the Incredible presents when set to disk mode.
Mine is stock though.

hey
just a guess, but it got messed up b/c you had apps2sd enabled. I bet if you try it w/o it enabled, it will work just fine!
I believe that my problem was stemmed from a glitch in the apps2sd app. Someone else was using it and experienced the same problem.
Beware of that app.

Bluetooth Pairing EB13

Anyone else have any EB13 issues with bluetooth pairing "dropping"? As in I need to fully re-pair my car and my phone every time I get in it because the devices won't recognize each other even though they have been paired. This never happened on eclair.
At first I thought it might just be one of the ROMs but all EB13 ROMs do this to me. Also, it isn't my device as my wife is having the exact same problem. FYI, currently I am using ACS but this happens with others also.
I think i have issue too and after fiddling around with it it finally connects, but everytime i turn off bluetooth, i have to fiddle around for like 3 minutes to get it back on?
Any suggestions?
Ive cleared opp bluetooth data..
Should i reflash the eb13 modem? Or is this just an issue with the new modem?
Any one else having issues with keeping a a pair connection when turning off the phone or bluetooth?
Would appreciate the suggestions.
I use my phone for radio in the car and as much as it pains me to say it I may go back to eclair :-(

Someone said that before he upgraded to eb13 he backed up older bluetooth system files and pairing data in titanium backup and restored them and it fixed it for him. Also it appears to work on dk28..
So what i was thinking is odin back and connect the headset and make sure it work properly, then titanium backup it and restore the certain files and it may work, i may test this tomrrow will let you know if this fixes if not, maybe the ec20 update will fix it..
I may have old bluetooth files backed up with titanium. Let me know how it goes. Is it the bluetoothOPP or bluetooth services apk?

I pulled all the 3 files from a DK28 ROM and it is still the same problem. If our problems are the same, this doesnt fix it.

U need to pair your headset with d118 or dk28 and save those files via titanium backup and save the Bluetooth pairing file, so regardless u have to make it connect on the precious Timon and save the pairing file and all the Bluetooth ill try to test it today, I hope we get ec20 or a new build that fixes this annoying issue..

[Q] Backup Bluetooth connections?

I have tried to backup my bluetooth connections with TiBu Pro for the past 3 ROMs. Everytime restore them nothing happens. The last time I made sure to specifically backup "bluetooth pairings" and restored "bluetooth pairings" data, when I go into bluetooth connection there is nothing there...
I have a new bluetooth radio in my car and it is a PIA to hook up my phone to it everytime I flash a new ROM, any tips?
Anyone?

That's weird, my Bluetooth settings and WiFi settings are always saved to the Google Servers. I usually don't have to touch a thing especially when I switch from ROM to ROM

This is the single reason why I don't flash ROMs that often. It makes me crazy re-pairing to my truck even though it takes about 2 minutes.
I'd love to back up the pairings if I knew it'd work.

I use TiBu to do this.
on main page in TiBu, click menu button, backup data to xml..., then select wifi. that should handle wifi and bt. I havent had to repair any of my devices in months.

how to kill startingobexpbaptransaction

This thing is KILLING my battery and I can't locate such a thing on ti backup. the only bluetooth related thing is bluetooth share.
Please help. It's driving me nuts and preventing my phone from going to sleep.
I need to freeze this thing through ti backup or something!
I'm running AOKP latest version
I'm well aware of what it is (Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile) and I don't care if a name is called out on my bluetooth for it. I just bought a large battery but it does me no good if the phone can't go to sleep!!!

Just cycle BT off before leaving your car instead of walking away.
Or cycle BT off/on if you forgot to do that before leaving.
I I've tried that. It didn't help. The process count kept going up in bbw

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem with plantronics headset.
I dont like bugs like that. I run only stable roms or stock whichever is the most stable at the time. I have never liked aosp aokp roms. It has always seemed to me like they fix one thing only to break another thing with each version.
Not trash talking anyone for the work they do , all of it is appreciated but it's just not for me (the experimental type roms or ones that havent been highly polished yet) there is a ton of good things that come from them and also dont want to make anyone feel inferior for using them. Most of them are pretty good.
If you are willong to try something different try S3Rx

I don't actually need to sync phonebook with a headset, so I disabled that pbap service on bluetooth application.
To do that, I believe, you need to have root and an app like AndroidTuner to conntrol app's receivers/providers/services.
So with AndroidTuner in Application manager (App tab) I opened that Bluetooth Share and unchecked everything with pbap in it's name form Services and Providers tabs (not from Activities).
