Hands Free Car Kit - Won't Connect Anymore!

I've been trying to get my MDA Compact III working with my built-in car bluetooth hands-free system (Land Rover Freelander 2) for the last 3 weeks or so with varying degrees of success, but I think I've messed something up...
Until the weekend, I could enter the PIN my car generated into the phone and it would spend several seconds trying to pair; sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't, but it would always take several seconds to make the effort. However, now as soon as the car generates the PIN, it goes straight to "failed to connect", the phone doesn't even give the chance to enter the PIN and shows no indication that anything's tried to connect to it.
Is there anyway I can "flush" my bluetooth settings without a hard reset? I wasn't doing any registry tweaks, the only thing I think I did before it went wrong was selected the "set as hands free" on the list of connected BT devices on the phone.
Any help greatly appreciated!

[Q] Bluetooth Won't Turn On

When I try to turn on bluetooth, the icon and text indicates that the system is trying to turn it on. However, it never actually turns on and after a few minutes reverts to indicating that BT is shut off. This problem used to occur sporadically and sometimes seemed to be cured by rebooting. However it is now at the point that it just won't turn on no matter what. I did the requisite googling and found nothing very definitive. It looks like I may have to do an exchange on the unit but I would rather not go to the effort of unrooting this unit and rooting the replacement.
Any suggestions of things to try beyond what I have indicated above?

Are you using an experimental ROM or stock rooted?

Jedi Mind Trick XI (although the problem has been growing worse and has happened across the last several JMT versions). I will give a stock rooted ICS a try.

I just tried a stock rom and the problem persisted.

I have the same problem
I have scoured the net looking for an answer, any answer, to this problem. It seems that a few people are having the same issue. But before it is ever answered, some dip$#!t always jumps in and says "I have the same problem, my phone won't connect to my car." Then the conversation goes off into other people that can't connect their bluetooth to their car or their headset- or their cat... That is not the same problem!!!
I cannot turn my bluetooth on unless I soft reset the phone. Even after I've gotten the bluetooth working, if I restart my phone the bluetooth turns off and when you try to turn it on, it says "Turning on Bluetooth..." It cycles for about a minute and a half and then goes back to "To see devices, turn on Bluetooth."
I bought this phone on Amazon for what appeared (at the time) to be a reasonable price. Since then, I believe that I have read at least one of the seller's post about bluetooth not coming on (no proof, just an educated guess). The seller probably got rid of the phone because noone could or would give an answer to this problem. Heck, it's possible that every post that I've read so far is by someone who owned this phone at one point or another. :silly:
I am sending this post to XDA because even the adminstrators on android forums say that you guys are the smartest and most responsive forum available. (Okay, they didn't say smartest- it was implied). Please help me resolve this issue.
I rooted this phone the moment that I pulled it out of the box. In other words, I don't know if the bluetooth issue is caused by the root, or if the previous owner didn't root the phone and also couldn't get the bluetooth to work. I believe that, because the phone is rooted, I should be able to remove and reinstall the app that bluetooth is based upon.
I am not a techie, the only reason I know anything about root is because I was complaining to someone about my old phone and how all of the bloatware that seems to constantly run eventually kills my battery. He told me about rooting, and it was easy enough - the rest is history. In other words, if you ask me for more information- I promise that I can give it to you. Yet, have patience with me if I ask you a question that you believe that any person that has rooted their phone should know.
I really hope that you guys can help me without bricking my phone. I truly appreciate any suggestions or thoughts on this matter.

I may have figured out what is going on, although I can't understand why it is (maybe someone more versed with processes can help me figure this out).
Using Titanium Backup, I first froze the two bluetooth items (Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Test). Of course, that didn't remove anything, but I wanted to make sure that I could. Then I wanted to see how Bluetooth Share would react without Bluetooth Test. I unfroze Bluetooth Share.
I was then able to turn on and off Bluetooth fine. I restarted the phone and Bluetooth came in just like it did on my old phone. I guess I want to know:
1) Is the Bluetooth Test the cause of my problem?
2) Why is it there?
3) If I uninstalled it, would I experience a major hiccup?
There is still the possibility that this was simply a fluke, and very soon I will go back to the old bluetooth soft reset problem.
There is, however, one distinct difference between this phone and the last and may be the "drop out" that everyone else seems to be having. I have a Chevy Malibu with bluetooth in the stereo. On my old phone, when I started the car and got going, the word "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display for about 10 seconds, which means that the vehicle detected and connected the bluetooth pairing. Yesterday, as I was driving in the car, every 5 minutes or so, "Bluetooth" would appear on the digital display.
This leads me to the conclusion that Bluetooth is dropping out and being picked up continuously by my vehicle. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm okay with that as long as when I am talking to someone for more than 5 minutes I don't have to keep calling them back. I simply want to know what you guys think about this issue.

I am beginning to think that the problems I have had are related to the condition of the battery contacts.I have several third party batteries with contacts that are somewhat damaged from the pins on an external charger that came with them. I seem to experience a variety of problems when I try to use them.my original factory battery seems to work most of the time. I have several new Samsung batteries on order and will post again if they seem to solve the problem.

i had the same problem and it started with JMT so I switched roms countless times and the problem kept coming back. It would work for a little bit but when i turned it off it would not turn back on. I decided to go back to stock to see if the problem was still there and it was gone. Since then I have rerooted and once again flashing diff. rom every other day and bluetooth works just fine.

Well it seems no answer was found. I'm having the same issue as stated above. In my case, my bluetooth (custom ROM) keeps trying to turn on with the message "Turning On Bluetooth" until I soft reset the phone, after that it works fine.

Was having bluetooth crashes for months using CM 10.1 on a T989 (no custom kernels)
Would crash anytime I tried to connect to car BT audio, or would simply not start up.
Flashed this yesterday.... and no crashes!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174100
For flash: Wiped dalvik/cache, flashed, fix permissions, reboot, start BT, deleted all devices, re-add.
No BT crashing of any sort for 36 hours now.

Hey thanks! I switched to JMT JB4 and it's not happening (much) now, I'll try to flash it and see if it fixes something :good:

Volume button + WiFi Problems + Touchscreen no reaction + Board computer problems

I have some questions. (Copy from the old thread)
1. I mean that i read it here, but I'm not sure. At the moment I have very often the bug, that the volume button not works. Mute works, but louder and quieter not. I don't know when it doesn't work, but after a while no function.
2. Since a few days I have the wifi problem, that wifi works sometimes and after a while too, it shows empty bars and shows the connection but it doesn't work. In other case if I start the radio he can't find any WiFi. Why?
3. Since a few days the touchscreen doesn't work. I have set, that i can See if i touch. Then it shows a point. so i can see that the touch works, but there is no reaction. After a minuten the radio shows the bootlogo and have a loop. So i have start the radio new with reset or power off from the car.
4. Since a few days if i turn off the key normally all lights form the radio and display shut down. Additionally board computer shut down too after a few seconds. Now the light from the dvd tray is on and board computer too (after a lock from the car too). I dont know why but I don't know if that is so good (Battery).
All this errors are since a few days. I tried to do any settings but the problem is always here. Does anyone no about that? I think it's an app, but I don't know which one. The last chance (if I get no solutions) is to install another rom? That is really crazy, because it's only since a few days. The days before it works perfect.
I have JY 2.73 with the Malaysk Rom from September (1024).
Thanks

Update: Now i installed 2.59 JY and tried again. WiFi will always gone with no bars. So i turn off and turn on again. At the most cases it works. But the problem is here again. The same with the touchscreen crash. 3G doesn't work. always no bars.
So the previous MCU doesn't work again. Maybe a software error.

Could you please try to measure the voltage alignedto the HU while you encounter those problems? I rellay mean at the radio side (so not at the battery poles).
Such issues could be lack of voltage. If not and flashing does not solve it could be a defective unit.
Just to ensure: You flashed Firmware AND MCU? AM I right wit this assumption?
If not: Try to flash a new ROM first (probably try Malaysk ROM)
Btw: Moved to Q&A

Thx for answer. How can i measure that? Do you know which cable it is? And if the cable shows not the 12V? What can i do to fix the problem?
Sure. I have Malaysk Rom and the MCU JY 2.59.

you would have to get amulti- or vooltmeter and attach that between plus and ground pins at your HU.
If you don't know how you should eigther try to follow another way first if possible or ask someone to do it for you (it's electrics)

Thanks. I ordered a multilmeter. Maybe it's the battery. At the moment the car works really hard if I start it. The radio takes so much battery but the radio is off. So that can be the problem.

low voltage can cause many weird problems but you have to know a new battery might not solve your problem!
If you have low voltag while the engine is ruunning then you have a different problem. eighter there is a connection issue somewhere on the path the energy takes from battery and generator to the HU or your generator might have a problem. But that is open to check when we know if it really is a voltage issue.

Hi,
i'd like to give you an update for my problems. Since the last days I have the problems, that my car didn't start. Now we see, that the battery is nine years old. Now I charged the battery (tomorrow I'll get a new battery) and the first test shows WiFi works for 3 minutes. I know - that's not a lot, but I only can try if I have the new battery. 3G doesn't work - always the same. But that's not so important for now.
At the moment I don't have the volume error. I will test it, If i have a longer car drive.
The problem with the touchscreen is actually. Since a few time, after few minutes the touchscreen is bricked and I see the points that i touch it, but I can't click anything. If I touch ten times, twenty times or often then radio shut down and shows the boot logo... forever... it doesn't boot again. So I have to make a hard reset.
And the last point with the light board computer and the light dvd slot after plug off the key is actually too. It don't shutdown the lights on the standby time from 10 minutes (set it to 10 minutes). I know now, that I can shutdown it completely if I press the volume button for 3 seconds. Than it's turn off. So it's a setting problem from the firmware?
Today I plug in the key - nothing. Radio doesn't start. So I looked behind the radio and saw, that one thin cable is not in the wiring harness and I can see the wires on the cable. So I tried to put it in the wiring harness again. I hope it works longer now. I wrote carjoying and ask for a new wiring harness. Maybe all problems will be fixed, If i have a new.

Hello again,
now I've got a solution for the wifi problem. I've tried to connected wifi - i Known that doesn't work only few seconds and after a few seconds it shows 0 bars on wifi... now I disconnected my 3g stick and LOOK it works... full bars, no losing connection. I connect 3g again and the same problem after a few seconds.
So th3 3g stick (E1750 from Huawei) makes some problem OR the usb cable?

Huawei E355 also not working. Same connection problems with malaysk rom MTCD
Any suggestions?

Help with screen mirroring

MTC8-KLD6-V2.81
Rooted with Malaysk's latest ROM
For the past month or so, my phone (HTC M8) has flawlessly mirrored with my Head Unit. THEN came a Marshmallow update. Now my HU/phone mirroring is as follows;
1) Plug Phone into USB port.
a)bug icon shows on phone's top banner
2) Press Easy Connected on Head Unit
a) Four blue bars on HU light up as expected
b) Phone now asks if USB should be used for Screen Mirroring (can only press "Just Once", because "Always" is grayed out)
c) I have tried several different ways to deal with 2.b., but I get the same end result
3) Phone enters Drive Mode (I have also turned this off, but no different result)
4) Head Unit spins its wheels for a while, then claims to enter Screen Mirroring, but all I get is a blank screen with the "Home", "Back", "Exit" buttons on the bottom
a) Phone itself never shows on the Head Unit.
As an aside, I tried to use my phone on Chromecast last week. It look forever to play a single YouTube clip, and when I tried to play a different one, "play" and "pause" would work, but it never actually went to the next video. Pressing play on my phone would start the second video on my phone and also start the FIRST video on the tv.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I also have the same problem. I changed my Note3 on GalaxyS7 and said goodbye to ScrenMirroring I really do not like it. Autoradio should update to Android Lollipop and the problem would disappear. But if even our AndroidAutoradio live to see the renovation

Sadly, I already purchased a new phone. But thanks for the updated app, I'll hold onto it in case my new phone gets an update.

I was looking all over for this, thanks

My new phone updated to Marshmallow last night (against my wishes and despite my efforts to stop it). Now I'm back to not working.
I'll try that updated app, but I'm not holding my breath. All my searching has revealed threads where people have said that the apk will not update and I have not found a single example of someone with Marshmallow who has Screen Mirroring working.

I am pleased to report that the above update to EasyConnected worked and I am now able to mirror my phone (Marshmallow 6.0.1) once again.

I was ok with Marshmallow on my Nexus 6P but cant to mirroring not that I upgraded to Android Nougat 7.0

Hopefully someone like xterm305 will come along again and provide a link to an updated .apk.
In the meantime, try rebooting your head unit. That has worked for me in the past when my phone wouldn't mirror (but, that was not when it updated).

Malaysk has a link to this thread that might help, DanB0Y. Please let us know.

I think you need to remove an .apk from your phone and then connect it to your stereo again though the usb.

Problem with Hizpo radio

Good morning!
I have bought a Hizpo Android radio for my Mercedes Benz Vito w639 (2012). This car haven't got steering wheel or controller for the radio, so I installed it without canbus (as the seller told me) and connecting Illumination and ACC directly to the car, bypassing the canbus.
The thing is that It started working perfectly the first day, but after some time the radio started to do really weird things, like resetting alone or getting looped on the startup showing a black screen with backlight on. Sometimes it works again for 1 day and after that starts again to fail. Anyone knows what is happening? I tried to access the recovery mode for trying a wipe, but I don't know the proper combination of buttons (this radio doesn't have physical buttons, only a reset button).
I don't know if in this forum is allowed to post the link of the website where I bought the radio, but if it's possible just tell me and I paste it.
I have a video of what happens when the radio starts to fail, but I cannot link it already to the post cuz I have less than 10 posts :crying: If you need them for helping me just tell me and I will send you a PM!
Thx for your help!! :laugh:
