[Q] BlueAnt V1 Headset + Evo

Trying to find some feedback from anyone using the BlueAnt V1 bluetooth headset with the EVO.
I'm having problems with the headset not answering calls maybe 85-90% of the time. It announces there is a call, but will not answer via voice command or hitting the button. I can answer via the phone but when I do it doesn't transfer voice to the headset. The headset thinks it is connected because when the call is ended it tells me.
Have done two factory resets on the phone and resets on the headset with no change. Also spoken to Blueant tech support and they weren't much help. All they said is they haven't heard of it having problems with the EVO and should be compatible with all Android devices. Their suggestion was to try it with another EVO and see if the problem still exists. Well, I don't have another to test it on so that does me no good. This headset worked great on both my Blackberry phones before I got the EVO and has the latest updates installed.
BTW...I'm running Myn's RLS4 w/ #17.
Thanks.

Well I don't think it is the Bluetooth , it is the Rom. I have problems with myns #4 with the sync in my email. I have a blue ant also and it does the same thing . I have tried other roms including virus and it works on them , try that .

Pretty sure I tried this headset when the phone was stock and with some other Sense and non-Sense roms. It has never worked properly.
Not sure if it has something to do with the lockscreen or not. The first time it is connected to the phone it works fine. But every time after that, it doesn't connect the call.
I haven't had any problems running anything on Myn's. But just to make sure, when I switch a rom again I will reset and try the headset.

yeah mine does the same thing, it works if i answer w/ voice command but if i press answer button most of the time the audio is route to phone speaker......Lame!
has anybody with a blueant tried it with cyanogenmod? i wonder if the different bluetooth stack yields different results. I'd like to see an app update for the blueant software too (had a cheaper headset that stayed connected way better)

When I pair the headset, it connects and works great the first call I get whether using voice command or button to answer. Then every time after that, it won't connect the call.
Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen or the phone going to sleep. I will have to do some trial and error.

Currently I am trying out the headset with MikFroyo 4.2 (Sense rom) to see if it makes any difference. This rom is really close to stock so maybe it will work?
I will post back with my conclusion.

My headset works fine now. I have found there is a coding issue that exists in certain roms such as Myn's and CM that prevent proper operation. CM seems to have put together a fix for it. Myn's still does not work at this time. It has been requested as a fix for RLS5 final.
Running eVoKINGS Black Titanium with Mik's 4.2 base and my headset works good.

hey where is the fix for CM or is it just in some of the versions? cause i just flashed CM7 and some of the features i loved about the Blue Ant before are not working like it will not play my audio like it did before i use to be able to listen to my music and what not through the blue tooth. if there is a fix for it i would love to get that working again.

Sorry...it's been a while and can't remember where I read about the fix. If I run across again will let you know. Might try downloading "BT mono" from the Market to see if that helps. Not sure if it is effective on AOSP or not but worth a look.

Bluetooth phone function not working?!?!?!?

My HTC Incredible was working perfectly with my bluetooth car stereo up until about a month or so ago. The weird thing is now it will still pair properly with my car stereo and I am able to play music from my phone through the car stereo but when making or receiving phone calls it will not make any sound through the stereo or speakers.
It will place the call, the other person will be able to pick up and receive the call but they can't hear anything I am saying and I can't hear anything they are saying.
This used to work perfectly before and what's baffling me is I can still play music from my phone with the bluetooth fine without any issues.
I have an AMOLED screen incredible running 2.2 and Unrevoked. I installed Skyraider 3.5 (most current one whatever that is) I have used Metamorph to place my handcent where the + symbol is on the bottom rosie bar, I have also flashed the Berzerker mod for splash of red to make everything red and also provide 6 signal bars instead of 4. I am also running KingKlix BFS#6 kernel. Other than that everything is unchanged.
I have also tried to pair with other car stereo's with the same outcome. What did I do and how can I get this to work again? Is there a bluetooth folder on the system files that I can check to see if there is a change in there or something? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

This is not development related. Might fit better in Q&A.
Have you tried a wipe and reflash of the ROM? Or wipe/flash a different ROM? You likely downloaded/flashed something funky thats messing with it. Even a VZW rep will tell you thats the first step in troubleshooting any issues. If all else fails, RUU back to stock. If it still isn't working properly, you have something wrong with your device and it needs to be sent back for warranty.
Furthermore, I would recommend not making any manual edits to /system. Although you're not likely to brick your device doing so, you're going to cause yourself more trouble and likely break other things in an attempt to fix bluetooth.

I will try to go back to stock & then keep adding things until it no longer works. Hopefully once I go back to stock it works again.

You might try Bluetooth Fix Repair from Market. Delete the pairing from the car bluetooth first then run the Bluetooth Fix Repair on the Incredible then re-pair. This has helped me when phone would not connect before and hopefully will help you.

I completely unrooted my phone and went back to OEM. Tried to connect the phone to the bluetooth with the same outcome.
It is definitely a hardware issue with the phone and not any software issue.
I contacted Verizon they sent me a new one over night and just finished rooting it and running my last nandroid to it. I am back where I began with everything loaded back up properly the way it was. This one also works perfectly with Bluetooth!

Glad you got it resolved.

[Q] Bluetooth FC on ec05

Having an issue with bluetooth FC on ec05 and eb13. I have a new Motorola Finiti headset that replaced a Motorola H17txt. The trouble Im having, is that whenever I receive an incoming call using the finiti, the ringer stutters (for lack of a better term) and bluetooth does a FC (I checked the bluetooth options and it still shows my headset connected for media but phone is unchecked). Right after I flash it works for 2 or 3 calls then this problem sets in and continues until I Odin again. Rebooting the phone does not fix it, nor does unpairing the headset and turning bluetooth off and back on, though to even get the headset to actually connect back to the phone I have to do that.
I tried eb13 with the same results.
Odin to di18 and it's fine.
Odin to dk28 and it's fine also.
So anyone have any suggestions? Bad headset? Motorola problem, should I contact them about possible bad firmware? Bluetooth problem with eb13 & ec05?
Didn't have any problems with the H17 while running eb13, but it died before ec05 was released.

Bluetooth is broken in Froyo, it's more noticeable under certain usage patterns, i.e. multiple headseats with A2dp. went back to Eclair and bluetooth connectivity is flawless

So if thats the case, is there anyway to stop the update push or so i need to just keep telling it to install later?

Root your phone, download root explorer, search for "systemupdater.apk" either delete or rename, and voila! no more update prompts. So far, it's worked pretty well for me, and now I've fully functional BT, YMMV

I have the same exact Bluetooth and it actually works better for me on EC05 than DK28. Maybe start fresh and try again. Great Bluetooth by the way

Are you running stock or a ROM? I guess now I should wonder if I just got a defective unit and an exchance would help.

ICS Bluetooth Media Woes

I feel like I'm the only one who's been struggling with Bluetooth media since the ICS leaks started rolling out and as it seems like we're getting closer to a final build I'm getting worried.
So I often stream audiobooks and music via Bluetooth from my phone to my Sony XPLOD BT3900 aftermarket head unit. This worked just great on the GB ROM. However, on the ICS ROMs, my phone will randomly hot reboot in the middle of playing something. This includes the stock player, Power Amp, Mort Audiobook Player and Google Music. The audio cuts out, Bluetooth disconnects and the screen goes to the Sprint bootanimation screen with no sound, then quickly reloads the OS. I have to toggle Bluetooth off then on again on both the stereo and the phone in order to get it to reconnect.
If I turn off Media audio in the Bluetooth settings, just using Phone audio, and connect to the stereo via the Aux port, it works just fine with no reboots, so this is definitely a software issue (worked fine on GB) involving Bluetooth media (phone audio is fine) that may or may not be isolated to my particular stereo.
So I have to ask ... is anyone else experiencing anything the same or similar? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what the cause may be other than simple incompatibility? It's been bumming me out as I hate having to plug a cable in every time I get behind the wheel.

Had the EXACT same thing happen to me at work today as my phone was linked to a Monster Micro Bluetooth Speaker . . . thought it was my ROM or recent flash that did it but I guess not. It does not happen to me in my car when I have my phone linked to my Motorola bluetooth car received and then my audio linked to my bluetooth jack . . . only seems to happen if both are linked to the same unit. Maybe FD02 will change all that.

I have the same problem and I am looking for a solution!!!

I stream music via Bluetooth in my truck everytime I drive. I connect it to a car dock. I have noticed that the phone seems hot when I pull it out but haven't really tried to figure out why. I thought maybe it was the sun going thru the windshield heating it up bit now I may not buy that.
I've done this with every ics build and am currently on cm9 a2. Never had a reboot though.

Thanks for your feedback, I don't know why you are able to stream music through bluetooth! I have read a lot of threads about this issue and nobody can solve it until now.

Jabra Clip Won't Pair with E4GT
I had no problem using this device on GB based ROMs but once i switched over to the ICS Leaks completely lost the ability to pair with my Device, I hope there is a resolutions to this issue, I can confirm this is still an issue as of FD02.

Running calks 1.4 and have no issues with Bluetooth streaming to Ford sync or my Bluetooth receiver listening to music with subsonic or tune in radio just fyi not trying to be a **** i feel your pain

Yup, works great with Ford's Sync. Picked up a 2012 Ford Focus the other day, and it's great.

Cm9 a2 working flawlessly. Had trouble with almost every other ics rom though.

what ics bluetooth problems as of now?

The problem is that when my gs2 is paired by bluetooth with my Sony MEX-BT3900U, it reboots every about fifteen minutes. It has been happened since I have updated my phone to ICS and not with Gingerbread.
If I just switch on bluetooth, it doesn't happen.

I know this is an older thread but I am having the same issue and I'm trying to search for a fix. It only started happening when I switched from GB to ICS. I also have a sony head unit. Anyone find a fix yet?

Well I switched to a JB rom and all is good. Must have been an ICS problem.

[Q] Bluetooth/Pandora problem running CM9...

Hey guys I searched this one already and not really coming up with an answer.
I recently purchased the brand new Alpine Bluetooth Pandora head unit for my truck. Running CM9, I can pair with the headunit and utilize the BT audio feature which pretty much just redirects all phone audio to the car speakers. There is also a feature for Pandora where the headunit will take control over the phone and Pandora is completely operated thru the headunit. I tried my wife's stock EVO 4G LTE and the feature works great. On my phone, it just comes up on the head unit saying "NO PANDORA".
Now, to isolate the cause and make sure it wasn't just an Epic problem, I odin'd back to a stock FC09 rom and I had full functionality of Pandora through the head unit.
My question is, whats the bluetooth or Pandora difference between FC09 and CM9 that would cause this. I found this thread for tethering issues, could this be a cause?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598529
The OP in that thread says you will have to "repair everything" after doing this. I don't like the sound of that and I don't want to find out the hard way what he means by that.
Any help is much appreciated!
