ive never had an issue bluetooth pairing my g2 to anything up until today. My dad just bought a handsfree bluetooth kit for his car from walmart i believe and asked me to hook his g2 (stock, rooted) to the bluetooth unit and his g2 didnt even see it. I then tried my g2 (cyanogenmod 7 latest nightly) and it didnt see it either. Just out of sheer curiousity i tried his old motorola razor and bam, found it and instantly hooked to it. Im kinda bummed our "smart phones" wouldnt but the one dumb or "challenged" phone would. anybody know why? or how to fix, or even an app to help get around this issue? thanks for any help.

Did you set your phone as discoverable in the bluetooth settings?

I couldnt find any solution on google except for ping command which sucks..
is there any other fix??
If Desire is unable to wifi tether i might sell it and buy a hero instead.. IM SERIOUS KID!
nexus one unavailable in scandinavia..
"Oh hi people, the radio in my ferarri doesnt work. Other than the known hack, is there any other ways to make it work? If not I might have to sell it and get a renault Clio so I can listen to the radio"
This is basically what you are saying.
Wifi tether doesnt work properly at the minute, and there are no other ways to make it work other than the ping method. Now, you can either wait a couples of weeks for it to be fixed and in the mean while enjoy the awesome phone that is the desire, or you can sell it for another phone that is on the verge of being outdated, just because you want one little feature.
At the end of the day, you are free to make the mistakes you want, but now you at least know that it is in fact a mistake.
Tether it with a usb cable
There's nothing wrong with a Renault clio

I have a jabra bt530 and i cant for the life of me figure out whats going on with it. I previously had the samsung moment and actually i went thru 3 of those. Everyone complained about me breaking up with my bluetooth so ofcourse im thinking my bluetooth is crap. I paired it with my work nextel phone, everyone said i was very clear and no problems. Then the evo came out. Same problems as before. I dont know what to think. Im clueless as to the problem. Anyone else have problems with their android phones and bluetooths?
I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere else, and I have looked. My wife and I both have E4GT and are both experiencing this issue everyday and we both have different Bluetooth headsets.
We will walk away from our phones far enough that our headsets disconnect. Once we close enough, sometimes they connect back up, but most of the time, we have to shut off the Bluetooth radio in the phone and turn it back on before it will connect again. Once in a while we are right next to the phone and it will disconnect for no reason at all.
My wife has a cheaper Rocketfish headset and I have a more expensive Jawbone.
Anyone else having this problem?
both our phones are rooted and we're both running Caulkins rom. She is running an older 2.8.0 and I am sporting 2.8.1. I have asked this in his rom thread, but twice have gotten no responses. I can't find anywhere if there is a Bluetooth radio driver update like with modems.
Did this happen while you were on stock?

HAHA, I knew someone would ask that!
To be honest with you, we got these phones and two hours later, I had them rooted and flashed, so I couldn't say. I've been rooting and flashing roms since we had our first Droid 1 phones and I just can't seem to leave well enough alone.
I have the same issue with a Jawbone Era.
Has happened on stock roms as well as Caulk's and UnNamed.
What happens with my Era is that it will just stop working. Phone will show that it is still paired, but I get no audio to the device. The only way to fix it is to turn off the Era headset, and turn off bluetooth on the phone. Then turn BT back on, followed by the headset.
It's a real PITA. I got this headset after reading several reviews on the webs saying that it was a great unit.
It is, when it works. Unfortunately this happens at least once a day.
I am looking for a solution as well, and I was even thinking of getting a different headset but after reading that it's happening with completely different headsets makes me think that won't solve anything.
I'll try to report back if I find anything.
One other note, the Jawbone Companion app also is very flaky. Most of the time it will not detect the Era headset even when the phone is connected and it's working fine. This too happens on both stock and custom roms.

Make sure your phone is set to always discoverable and when you get back in range of your phone try hitting the call/end button on your bluetooth, this should help it re-connect without having to restart the program in your phone.
I have been running into this exact situation with my brand new Plantronics Voyager Pro HD, and I was about to return it to the store today, but then I saw this posting, so maybe it is NOT the BT headset afterall. Next time it happens I will give those instructions a shot...
Does making your phone "always discoverable" have any bearing on the battery life or anything? Thanks!

I'm seeing a pattern here. It appears from what I'm reading, that it does not matter what Bluetooth headset you have or what rom you're running, it's happening to a few people. Makes me think it's the phone or Gingerbread itself that's the issue. Maybe when ICS is ready to be a daily driver, it'll change.
In one respect it makes me feel better as my wife and I don't have to replace our headsets!!
I am not comfortable in leaving our phone "discoverable" as this opens our phones to possible unwanted access from unscrupulous people.
So my phones been rooted on Aokp for about a month now and its been working fine. However today I discovered that when making calls I cannot hear the other person unless I have headphones or speaker is on? I've already tried rebooting and odin to stock but its still not working? Any ideas or fix
Sounds like the hardware went.

It's the hardware. Unroot the phone if needed and take it to Sprint. They will "look" at it and order a new one if you have insurance. I'm currently waiting for my new one cause of the same issue plus half a dozen more. Tired of being the Tool on the bluetooth just to use my phone normally. I know it has nothing to do with the software because the repair tech tried to 'Odin' it and reinstall everything OTW. This seems to be a common accurance when rooting. I can't be sure in my case cause my phone fell out of my pocket bounced off the concrete and into a pool. I noticed all the problems after that happened. Good luck
Ok, so I love this phone. Got it about 2 weeks ago. However, today I tried to Bluetooth connect with a friend's Samsung Galaxy S3 to transfer over some photos when, during the pairing, my Optimus G rebooted and now will not connect to ANY bluetooth device. Tried multiple other phones, headsets, and my mini bluetooth keyboard. Hard reset the device and it still will not connect. I know it was working previously because I connected to my own GS3 a few days ago and transferred over an .APK file just fine.
Anyone experiencing any similar issues??
EDIT:
Just got off the phone with LG and they, as I expected, don't know anything regarding this issue and can't do anything but recommend a Master Reset of the device or send it to them for repair/replacement.

That blows man, since I unlocked my boot loader my Bluetooth Wi-Fi 3g and 4g have been running like crap. I get the demi god screen every time I try to update my profile or prl
My Optimus G refuses to maintain a stable bluetooth connection with my Uconnect 130/res system in my jeep. Also, when using LG tone+ 730's it consistently drops connection once a day. Extremely frustrating.
Are these issues with rooted Optimus G's or stock?
If it can't maintain a BT connection that a pretty big deal, especially of your using it as a hotspot. Things like this drive me crazy. The phone build is nice but it seems like LG needed some more testing.

Yeah, mine is straight stock. I'm waiting on a custom OS to pop up before I root my device.
Actually, I want to add an update to my previous issue. Somehow, the device is now recognizing BT headsets and some BT devices such as my BT keyboard. However, it still will not connect to another phone.
I have absolutely no errors with bluetooth on mine, stream music flawlessly in my car and my headset, dunno if y'all just got defective phones, if you're not past the 30 days (if purchased through BB) i would bring them in...
By the way mreniigma awesome avatar!
Been using my Bluetooth now for a while and luckily have zero issues. Works great.
