[Q] Cannot connect Desire bluetooth to in car system - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 3 yr old Ford Mondeo and cannot get my HTC Desire to connect to the built in phone system. All the other phones I had (last one being a Wildfire) connected with no trouble. The phone has it's moments when it decides to connect but these are very few and far between. Has anybody else had this problem?

Yes
I had the same problem when I first got my Desire. It was running 2.1 Stock firmware. (Virgin). I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo and the problem stopped.
Hope this helps.

Can you tell me how to do this please as I am unsure

same problem i have on my pioneer radio with bluetooth nokia was working fine but htc no i have froyo 2.2
you can try to go to settings>about phone>software updates
or maybe some custome rom?im gonna try to put custom rom with 2.3 and see if any changes.

Following on with this thread, I have been told by Carphone warehouse that this is a response to the Bluetooth hacking that took place recently. Apparently all Android phones will not Auto Link with bluetooth dvices. Has anybody heard the same?

I seriously doubt it. Think they're bullshitting you. What is you're firmware version?

HTC desire Update????

I had been hoping to wake up to see the 2.2 update but
This morning i only just received the 1.21.405.2 is this right????
Where is 2.2??????
2.2 was only released to developers yesterday, how quick do you think HTC will release their SenseUI version..
Give it another month or two. Unless you want to root and flash an unofficial build.

UK T mobile users haven't even received the 1.21 update yet
So by this it looks like we will be the last to get froyo when it comes out
So how come I am on T-Mobile UK and I have got 1.21?

The ppl on ere that thinks froyo is comming in the nxt few weeks are gunna be sadly disapointed, comming from the hero, i know how slow htc can be, my guess would be froyo in late september for the desire
this is not good for me then as i need more space for apps/games..
so i guess its time to root

I got my 1.21 update a couple of weeks ago (when I still had the stock ROM installed, now I'm running DeFroST ).
Try going to Settings > About Phone > System Updates to see if that initiates anything.
its gonna take a lil longer lol, it just went to developers

Phone rebooting and switching off with sense roms?

Hello,
I usually switch between Leedroid and AuraxTSense roms and they have been quite stable until the last few roms i have tried.....
Recently when i am listening to MP3s the phone either reboots or freezes and for the last two days using AuraxTSense rom my phone has switched itself off through the night and i need to remove the battery to start up....sometimes it will reboot while sitting there.
I also have a MIUI rom which i have been using and it works great with none of these problems.
Anybody got any idea to what is happening?
Cheers.
It's a problem with all desires. Look at the general section. They all start rebooting eventually due to a faulty motherboard. You need to send it to HTC for repair.

I didn't know that.
So i will need to unroot and will probably be sent back one of the newer phones without the Amoled screen?
I have UK T-Mobile contract....can anyone point me to where i can unroot my phone please?
Appreciate it.
Thanks for the reply
If you look on the den sections there is a list of ruus run the t mobile one with HTC sync installed. Should unroot. Call HTC they dont replace the phone only the motherboard.

Desire HD bought on Ebay - diagnostic tool

Hello,
I've just bought on Ebay an HTC Desire HD New.
I've read some threats and I'm concerned about battery, is it so bad?
I have an HTC touch HD and I like it, but I think Desire HD will be a great upgrade, do you agree?
I want to test my new HTC (I dont want to be tricked) on hardware, is there any tool that can diagnostic me the hardware and search for any problem? Because I've 14 days to sent it back....
Thanks
Is it brand new? It can take up to a week to settle in.

The battery will be bad if you use 3G/HTCSense.com/GPS/Sync with always on. The custom roms provide a brilliant battery-saving boost to DHD.

Yes, its brand new, but the user had (0) feedback, but paypal cover the transaction.
It will arrive next week, then I will give some feedback.
Should I "install" new ROMs? In my TOUCH HD I have energy ROMs and they are very good.
When the phone arrives just use it, dont try and install any new roms or radios. Just get used to the phone and how it works/doesn't work.
Whilst your getting used to the phone have a read on how to s-off the HBoot and radio, root the phone and install new roms. Once you have all the info and the phone is going well, you can start enjoying yourself.
You should know very quickly if there is something wrong with the phone, but if you need any info or help just slap another post on here and people will be more then happy to help.
Good luck
Blinky
I've received today and its simply amazing and fast.
I'm still discovering all new functions.
Any software to have internet through PC? I have a MAC OSX, and I need to open the virtual windows to have internet on HTC (HTC SYNC).
when you connect your DHD to a computer a prompt should come up and choose Internet pass-through, or go to Settings>Connect to PC> Default Connection type and choose Internet pass-through
Yes, I know, but that works on Windows, and I need to work on MAC OSX, because everytime I want internet I need to open virtual windows.
There is any software like HTC Sync for MAC?

Does the wireless hotspot not work with mac's? Can understand why it wouldn't, acts the same as a wireless router.

Jelly Bean Bugs

I know there's a few general discussion threads already but thought it might be useful to have a clean thread that just lists the bugs of the OTA leaks so that Elevate users can easily see some they may have missed and report to HTC
If reporting a bug, please state your software and Hboot version
Bug List
1. WiFi connection cripples other connected devices on the same network
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939630
All OTA leaks to-date are affected
Fixed with hboot 1.31
2. Recent App list sometimes shows a blank image for the last app
To replicate: Open an app, drag down notification window, press recent apps.
All OTA leaks to-date are affected
Still present with hboot 1.31
3. Proximity and light sensors not working on some batches after JB firmware update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922203
Early reports indicate fixed with hboot 1.33 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33754165#post33754165
4. NFC not working on some handsets
Introduced from hboot 1.31 - Only isolated reports of this at the moment

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922203
After swiping up an app from recent apps, sometimes it goes up REALLY slow.
Power saving option doesn't reduce brightness at times.
As I know, HTC will release JB for our HOX in Asia on 26th this month (Just tomorrow in my time-zone).
I hope the new hboot in the coming release will fix the sensors problem。
And I will test it in the first time.
You guys, just wait my report since I have a HOX with s-off
:laugh:
Cool! Print a screen and paste in xda once you have the update pop up.

Only issue with mine is issue 1 and it's a nightmare. Network is crippled badly. But I just leave mine on edge to make sure I can use my wifi and not to eat through my 3G.

My issues
Sometimes I have a heavy battery drain from 100% to 80% in 3 hours with 15 min screen time (and no Wifi) which is too much. Its like it doesnt actually charge to 100%. After that it consumes the battery more properly.
Also I have issues with MTP and Windows showing driver error. If I get this error again I'll update with an screenshot.
Another bug (I think) is that you can't remove google dictation from keyboard input methods.
I confirm the Wifi and recent apps issues.
Per your request, I pull some info from taiwanese forum 'Mobile01'. I had asia wwe variant still waiting OTA now, so these are all my observations not personal experiences.
So far there are no problem 2 & 3 revealed yet.
Yes, there are reports on One X wifi cripples connected devices on the same network. Routers involved are from Dink and Asus.
---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------
Updates: ipads has been mention for a few times as the victims of the issue.
People who facing wifi probs somes had try to reset AP some had AP running on custom firmware. While others who owned the same router model was not facing the problem.
Media link isn't currently working yet with JB Sense. As it's now being officially rolled out I'm hoping they'll resolve that soon.

Yes, taiwanese users who tasted JB had reported this too.
BTW, AP meant for Access Point..
Hey someone here with wifi issue may wanna try this..
Turn of WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) setting in your AP.
This may solve the problems, please kindly report back your result too.

Question
Hi. i'm new around here and i have a rather simple question for a maybe big problem. Help me please.
I have a htc one x with unlocked bootloader, and mi friend told me that jelly bean update won't be installed. So i relocked it. So there is a question, is it better to recieve and try to install update with unlocked bootloader or relocked. And yes i know for custom roms but i'd like this way better.đ
Thank you.

Makes no difference for OTA.
However, you will need stock ROM and stock recovery.
I've update the op
Can anyone verify if their NFC is working ok with hboot 1.31. Mine is ok but I've seen a couple of reports.

Popping/clicking noise while on the phone

Am I the first person to report this on an M8?
My stock software version is 1.54.707.7 (Asia Phone) & stock radio is 1.16.2133156.UA10G.
In my own opinion (& I have no proof to back it up), I guess the clicking/popping noise from the speaker happens after upgrading to 1.54.401.10_firmware which has the radio 1.16.2133156.UA15G.
The noise comes & goes. It's hard to replicate it. It is quite obvious in poor reception areas & I get drop calls too.
My wife's m8 is still running stock radio & she says she doesn't have this issue. So I've just pulled her radio.img & flashed it on my phone.
I will give it a few days to see if it's the radio or not.
The next step is probably warranty it.
I had this issue so badly on the m7, so when I first bought the m8 I tested it thoroughly to make sure it doesn't happen to me. & now it does
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Same problem here. After last OTA I hear popping during calls. Bad job HTC.

Do you have Bluetooth enabled while this is happening?

Does the OTA have radio update?
Did you note down your stock baseband? & fastboot getvar all after the update to see if there's any difference?
Could you try to roll back to your stock radio see if the problem goes away.
I tested 1 phone call this morning & all is well with the stock radio from my wife's m8.
Keeping my finger crossed.

No bluetooth here.
But Yes, your thought is correct. Some people have this problem while using some kind of bluetooth devices.
For my case, it *seems* like the firmware update did it.
Believe it or not, before I flashed 1.54.401.10_firmware, I was thinking "would it cause the clicking/popping noise" & it's sneaking up on me slowly.
I've rolled back to stock radio & 1 phone call this morning showed no issue. Good sign, but this thing comes & goes...it's not a fix yet...
I'll give it a few days & update you guys.
Thank you.
Any advice & input is appreciated !
