[Q] FI25 Com.android.phone has stopped - [RESOLVED]

I'm currently running Re-Calked.E4GT.0.2.1.FI25. For the most part everything is solid, and getting some of the best battery life I've ever gotten out of the phone (24 hrs with ~2hrs screen time no problem if in a good signal area).
The one little problem I'm having is any time I finish a call using my in-car bluetooth device, the screen blacks out for a while then I get a message saying Com.android.phone has stopped.
The device is still connected to bluetooth (music starts streaming again, etc...), but if I try to make another call, the dialer won't enable bluetooth (a lot of weirdness about finding a bluetooth device when you tap the bluetooth button on the dialer UI). A hot-boot puts everything back again the way it should be until my next call. This happens 100% of the time on bluetooth, never on a regular call - speaker or otherwise.
I don't think it's Re-Calked's fault, I've experienced the same problem on the stock ROM (FH25). It was fine on FH13, and I'm fairly certain FI03 was good too, but I got dismal battery performance on these kernels.
Any suggestions? This is a real downer for me ... I'd hate to have to try an older ROM since everything else is effin' fantastic! (BIG thanks tdunham!!)
UPDATE:
If anyone else runs into this problem, flash the FF18 Phone from THIS POST (thanks tdundham)
The problem appears to be related to the phone being in landscape orientation, which is only available during a call when docked in a car dock.
I'm using the Official Samsung Vehicle Mount

Wish I had an answer for this for you but...
I've seen several frustrated posts concerning Bluetooth pairing with vehicles on ICS with no clear workaround/solution. I don't have a vehicle with onboard Bluetooth to troubleshoot the issue. I bet it's a doable fix too if it's just a matter of porting over some older library files or something from FI03. Maybe we can experiment with some file replacements to see if we can get it working.
You listen to music over Bluetooth too? I wonder if the media player is conflicting too somehow. What happens if you don't have streaming music and recieve a call?
Edit: It would help if you could backup and flash back to FI03 to verify if the problem still exists on that version.

Actually it's not a built-in bluetooth. It's a "Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, BlackBerry,and Android Smartphones, US Version" ... search for that on Amazon ... tried to post a link, but I'm too much of a noob to post links yet, apparently.
I have the phone in a Samsung windshield mount, and the Belkin device ports all audio through the aux-in jack of my car stereo. It also has a built-in microphone so that I can use it for calls.
I have experimented a bit to see if it was a conflicting app, but it still happens even if I'm using nothing else. Worked fine on the older kernels, even with multiple apps running (Car Home Ultra, Waze, and Play Music are typical) went wonky as of FI25. I even tried disconnecting it from the dock and disabling car mode. The only thing that causes it is being connected to bluetooth and ending a call, and then it happens every time. Doesn't matter if I initiate the call or receive it. (Which is useful, because I could easily test by calling 611)
I wish I had another Bluetooth device to test if it was specific to the Belkin ... but that's all I've got.

No problem. I live out of Waze. Glad I found the fix for the full navigation voice cutoff for that (and Google Voice) and included it in the FI25 rom. I'll look into posting a couple of flashable zips for you to experiment with for the Bluetooth library files.

Thanks for that ... can't wait to try. Going to flash your new Re-Calked update soon too.
On a tangent regarding Waze ... did you install the latest update? I can't stand the way they use 30% of the screen with that black bar ... even worse when you get close to your destination and that other menu bar pops in above it. 50% of the screen covered with useless info.
I rolled back to the prior version from my Titanium backup.

I only used Waze this morning once after the update but didn't really check it out.
Backup your phone.
Flash this first - FI03.flash.first.zip
Test bluetooth, if it isn't working move on...
Flash this second - FI03.stock.lib.zip
Test bluetooth. Even if it is working, flash this next. FI03.stock.lib.zip

Very cool. I'll give it a shoot tomorrow at lunch if I get a moment.

So, it looks like I was wrong with my initial investigation.
I did flash the first file ... everything connected fine. Placed and disconnected a call no crash. But what I DIDN'T do was put the phone in the car dock.
So, I think the problem isn't bluetooth at all. I think it's some interaction with the car dock. If the phone is connected to the car dock when I disconnect the call ... that's when com.android.phone crashes (I can start the call connected, just need to disconnect before I end the call). I also had a suspicion that Car Home Ultra might have been a factor, but it happens even if Car Home Ultra is not running. I thought I had tested this scenario originally, but I guess I missed that one.
I'll flash back to my nandroid later and reconfirm these results. In the mean time ... any thoughts on what the car dock might be doing to trip up the phone?
UPDATE:
Now that I've narrowed it down to the dock, I found this bug report that appears to be related to my issue (yay, I'm not the only one):
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34612
Down the end of that thread, it appears that the issue seems to be related to the phone being in portrait mode ... not necesserily the dock, it's just that you can only get portrait mode during a call when docked.

Just curious. Does your dialer rotate when docked so you can make a call?
Anyway, I sent you something in a PM check it out.
Edit: I'm working on one more thing to add to that. Give me a little while.

Cool, I'll look at it afterI get the kids to bed.
Yes, the dialer rotates in the dock. Also, when in a call, the contact's photo is also rotated and moved left.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Ok we're running out of choices I guess. Try this older stock dialer and if that doesn't work, I guess that's it for now.

Thanks for your efforts whatever the outcome!
I'll flash this tomorrow and see how we go.
I just flashed the new Re-Calked update by the way. No problems, good stuff and it's been idling at around 1.6%/hr.

Changing out the phone did the trick!

That is a totally unmodified phone.apk. Let me upload a modfied one you can try too. This one is FI03, disabled ascending ringtones, roaming notification fix. Might be something else too but I can't remember.

(Q) wifi/bluetooh issue

Weirdest thing I found after purchasing the Moga controller for my note 2. When I have my bluetooth enabled I get all sorts of wifi issues. 1st was it would disconnect from my access point and go to 3g. Once I opened my wifi settings I would notice that my access point was disabled and I had to force connect again. Did some searching and disabled the sprint smart connection or what ever is called. It worked! Played around a bit and was extremely happy. Few minutes ago I felt like doing some testing and apparently now I noticed when bluetooth is enabled my wifi will not disconnect anymore but it will load a page extremely slow and indefinitely but As soon as I disable bluetooth my wifi works perfect. Please help me figure out if it's a known bug with a fix coming in ota or if my phone is defective. I've only had it a few days and I don't want to root or wait too long before I take it back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

SOLVED UPDATE
It was the damn MOGA controller. Forewarning for those thinking of purchasing this device. UNPAIR the MOGA when your done with it. Idk what the phones does on the technical side but I do know that THAT fixed my wifi problem. Im guessing it stays looking for the controller, bug maybe? Who should I contact to report that bug lol

For my issue I can confirm that it was before and after the update I'm on the latest stock rooted but the issue was there long before I rooted. I had even taken it back to the store. As soon as I un pair the moga it works perfectly.

I dont have a moga but will test with my headset. migjt explain the buffer issues I have while my headset is connected
Edit - CONFIRMED!
Craziness. 10 mbps slower every single time...turn of BT Device and BaM.. speeds are normal again
bt on the phone itself remained on. all I did was power off/disconnect the headset and speeds went back up. definitely explains why I had issues streaming in starbucks wifi yesterday. everything buffered. turned off my headset so friends could hear the video and it worked flawlessly
ok so someone fix it

really odd. in my case if my bluetooth headset is playing audio my speedtest come in 10mbps slower. if I turn the headset off (pandora still streaming) the speed test immediately runs 10 mbps faster. this only happens on wifi.
turn it back on....speeds immediately drop again

Curious problem with bluetooth (interference?) keyboard and mouse

Hi there guys!
This is my first thread, there seems to have been a thread on every problem I've encountered until now..
I have a motorola bluetooth keyboard
and a samsung bluetooth mouse
The keyboard works amazingly well on its own on my note 2. However when I also connect the mouse it starts to lag and type like thissssss. It's so bad it makes the keyboard unusable as you spend more time correcting what you wrote.
If this was a case of normal interference, I'd call it bad luck and leave it there.. HOWEVER - I tested them both on my macbook pro and they work as intended together. Now this puzzles me greatly as I thought they were interfering with each other's frequency, so shouldn't that be independent of the device I'm using?
Since they can work together, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with any suggestions of what's going on so I can come to some kind of solution/fix?
Thanks, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Any chance the cpu is underclocked (power saving mode in settings)?
from tapatalk (Galaxy Note 2)

Unfortunately it's not

Look for external keyboard helper in app store. Set delay settings to your liking. You will to have that set as your keyboard. Be aware that samsung keyboard tries to turn on depending on what Rom you ate running. I am somewhat disappointed in the bluetooth performance on my note 2. That is about all I am disappointed about.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! I actually already had the app installed, it was just set to no delay by default. I'm so glad I don't have to go out and replace my mouse
What exactly was it that disappointed you about the bluetooth performance?

On some of the ROM/kernels floating around I have had TERRIBLE bluetooth performance, voice wouldn't work to dial numbers over a bluetooth connection, but would work during a phone call, couldn't connect to more than one device without restarting the phone.
However Assassin Rom with the kernel that comes stock with it, that fixes all the problems I have had with bluetooth.

Oh man, I had no idea! It's been ok for what I've used it for, up until this problem, but now its fixed I'm pretty happy with it.
I just wished bluetooth used less battery.. or if the phone powered itself by creating energy :fingers-crossed: but thats probably only going to happen in 4.3

Also, try connecting to wifi using 5ghz (if you are on wifi). I have terrible problems when using 2.4ghz wifi and bluetooth together.

Does 4.4.2 fix Bluetooth keyboard issues?

I use a bluetooth keyboard frequently during the day. I've tried several bluetooth keyboards. I've never had one disconnect yet. I have had them go into sleep mode after a few minutes and need to press a key to wake them up. But they've never disconnected on me. This was true in 4.3 and is the same for me in 4.4.2.

The well-discussed BT problem is h/w. Some folks who exchanged their N10.1-14's had the problem go away using the same peripherals. I'm a heavy BT user and haven't had an issue since October.

Yea I spoke to several Samsung reps and they kept saying its because of incompatible hardware but I know that's bs. I guess I'm SOL for now

I'm holding out for 4.4.2 helping. I bought a Nexus 7 (latest one) and a Perixx 806 keyboard. It worked great with 4.2.2. When the Nexus was upgraded to 4.3, it didn't work properly at all. Keyboard was unusable. When the 4.4 update came, it all worked perfectly again.
With the Note 10.1 2014, 4.3 keeps disconnecting every few seconds for me. After a few seconds it will reconnect and catch up, but sometimes it misses a few characters. Based on what I saw on the Nexus 7, I'm hoping 4.4.2 will fix it - but maybe I'm just an optimistic fool!

It has nothing to do with hardware. I have used my Rapoo e6100 succesfully on my Note 10.1 (2013 edition) on Official and semi-official firmware 4.1.2 for several months (used another noname keyboard before that).I just updated to 4.4.2 official firmware and the keyboard pairs and that is it.
So, the fix from Google still needs to come.

I'm on 4.4.2 and I have massive bluetooth keyboard issues. I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard which works fine on my PC at home, and I could have sworn worked fine when I first got the tablet... so I can't guarantee I haven't futzed with something, but all I've done so far is rooted and removed a few bloat apps, nothing too major.
Now, for whatever reason, I have lots of keystroke lag which produces a lot of missed characters if I type too fast. It's basically useless. I have no idea how to begin troubleshooting it either, so it's a frustrating issue.

For those having BT keybaord issues, install Bluetooth Keybaord EasyConnect app from the Play Store. It solved my BT keyboard problems. Nothing else has worked except this

[Q] AOSP and Bluetooth

Hello Community,
Has anyone have had any success with AOSP based rom and syncing their phones via bluetooth with their car audio?
I've tried numerous roms, including CM11, Carbon, and SlimKat with no success.
Although, my phone successfully paired and everything. However, upon returning to my car (2013 Prius), my phone doesn't reconnect successfully. Oftentimes, I get these "bluetooth has crashed not responding" popup.
TouchWiz rome work flawlessly, of course.
Anyhow, if there is a trick to get this to work, I would really appreciate it. I love AOSP.
Thanks!

Anyone?

Me three. And I happen to have a 2014 plug in model :highfive:

I flashed Gummy rom few days back and I did not notice any issues with car bluetooth but did notice the my Moto 360 keeps disconnecting randomly and I have to turn off and turn on bluetooth and restart watch for it to connect again.
Scribbled on Galaxy Note 3.

Mine has always worked with my Sony deck, been on CM nightlies for months. In fact last week it was synced to my deck and my OBD2 scan tool at the same time with no hiccups.

I've never had any issues with BT in my car(2013 Forte) with any of the various AOSP/CM builds & kernels I've been running for the past year, it connects fine & doesn't drop. I get the occasional stutter but I get that with TW too.
