[Q] Bluetooth for stereo headset disconnects after exactly 15min !? - Defy General

I pair and connect to my stereo headset using the Defy Bluetooth. And it always connects and works fine until exactly 15min and then it disconnects.
After that I'm unable to connect again. I have to switch Bluetooth off and also my headset, then re-start them all and connect again (even that sometimes fails and requires a repeat a few times.)
I had a look through and can't see anything (Data Manager, Battery Manager, Display) that has a 15min cut off. I'm on standard Froyo.
Someone mentioned "Settings -> Power -> Auto Switch Off -> xx min" I don't have Power option in my settings, is that a different version or called differently !? There is no Stand By setting or anything like that. My phone display is set to go after 2 min and security locks after 3 min - but no 15 min anywhere !?
I have a couple of Task Killers, but nothing is set on them to automatically kill tasks - the tasks (Music Player, Economists Audio) are still running and Bluetooth is ON anyway, just not connecting.
The stereo headset is very, very basic but works perfectly on N95 (well passed the 15min) - but again everything worked perfectly on N95 !!!
Any ideas...?
Cheers,

Bluetooth visibility automatically switched off

Hi. I've playing for several days with my new trinity and have installed AX3L 2.0.7.0. So far i'm pretty happy with it, apart from a couple of problems:
I cannot get wireless stereo to work. I can connect the pda to my car's stereo, it identifies the HTC as a bluetooth audio device but after a few seconds, it disconnects. If I start playing something while in Wireless Stereo connection, it plays it through the pda's internal speaker.
I can't figure out how to leave Bluetooth's "Make this device visible to other devices" on. I have switched it on a dozen times and a dozen times it has been disabled. I'm not sure if it is disabled whenever I turn bluetooth off or after a certain amount of time. The fact is that it becomes disabled.
I think my last problem has already been covered here, MMS. I've seen a couple of notifications about a MMS being downloaded but there's no MMS in the inbox, i guess there's something blocking it, but that's what worries me least.
Great job, AX3L!

First, try to install my new rom (2.0.8)....i have cleaned the registry and added some tweaks....maybe bluetooth become working (for you!)...
If not, try to edit the setting using "TweakUI"'s AD2P tab (Settings -> System)
I'll give it a shot this weekend, when i can backup my data so nothing gets lost. (BTW, where is the backup device I used to have with activesync with my old ipaq3970?)
I have searched around to find documentation to understand TweakUI AD2P settings, but i didn't see it around. Any clue whether Joint Stereo Should be enabled, meaning of Bitpool, Audio Gateway numbers?
Try to:
REMOVE the following values from the registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings if they are present:
- BitPool
- MaxSupportedBitPool
ADD the following value to the registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings:
Name: SampleRate
Value (DWORD): 48000 (decimal)
SoftReset the device and try again
ONLY IN CASE not working....
install the Sleuth255's Patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31755&d=1165092579
(after install, softreset your device)
Thanks, that did the trick of bluetooth visibility not auto-turning off. Anyhow, it seems there is some kind of incompatibility between Pioneer DEH-P75BT (my car receiver) and the HTC. As a hands free, I have to manually set it from the pda as Hands free so they pair each other, and BT Audio function connects as before, but sound is still played through pda's speaker.
Thanks for the tip, AX3L

bluetooth problems

i updated my touch to 6.1 now it wont find my motorola S9 headset what do i do
my s9 works fine on my touch and titan wm 6.1....make sure when u first power on your s9 the blue light stays solid...this means its in pairing mode, then open up connections manager, click settings, bluetooth, find new device and it should find it in a few seconds
It should work just fine, upgrading to WM6.1 doesn't change the way your bluetooth functions.
i've had trouble pairing my bluetooth as well. instead of going to bluetooth explorer, go to settings > connections > bluetooth > add new device (even if its in the list still click this). after it finds the headset go through all the settings then when your done tap and hold where it says S9 (or whatever your headset is called) then choose set as wireless stereo, then it will say your device wants to connect. if it says the passcode is invalid try again and it should work. while this way of pairing my headset can take around 5 min. or more, its the only way it seems to be working.
i am not sure if your phone is showing the same symptoms as mine or not, but if this is a common problem then i hope someone smarter than me can fix it, becaue the way i have to set it up is a real pain.

THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD - Bluetooth plays media files everytime I start car

My car has bluetooth built in and it works fine. It also has a USB socket, which shares the AUX button on my cars headset with the BT audio.
However, everytime I go to the car ( I leave by BT on all day as I am constantly in and out of the car) it automatically starts playing media files from the phone. When this happens, it disables the USB input , unless I pull out the USB and put it back in again.
I turn off the 'media' tick box in bluetooth settings for the pairing, hit return, yet the next time I get in the car, it turns itself back on.
Is there a way of permanently disabling the 'media' setting in the bluetooth settings for this pairing?
I have this phone also paired to another car, but that one doesn't have the media option in its settings.
Also does anyone know how to get the phone to connect to the headset during a phone call while the ringtone is ringing? This phone sends the sound over to the head unit as soon as the call is answered, meaning that I never know if it is ringing or not, or connected. It would be nice to hear the ringtone ringing over the speakers and before it is picked up.
A friend of mine has the same problem with his bluetooth carkit. But not only when he start his car. I'm curious for a solution.
It's your radio .. incorrect support and usage of bluetooth specifications
I dont think it is the radio, because I can turn off 'media'in the bluetooth settings/bluetooth devices/options, and leave 'phone'on.
The next time I get back into the car, media turns itself back on automatically and starts playing tracks from the phone through the radio.
The bluetooth pairing on the phone that exists for the other car I have does not have a media setting.
Is there an advanced bluetooth settings app that can permantly leave the 'media' button unchecked?
ignore this post
it is a similar problem to this:

Ignore this

Surely an app exists that does this....

I am trying to find a bluetooth app that will allow me to set a "default / always connect automatically" bluetooth device.
I am looking for this functionality:
- When the phone detects my car's bluetooth is in range, and it's not connected to anything else, it'll connect.
- If I turn on another bluetooth device such as my headset, it'll automatically disconnect from my car and connect to my headset
- When I turn off my headset, it'll automatically reconnect back to my car.
Currently my phone will not do this. I must manually connect/disconnect everything. Any ideas?
Takes some getting used to, but you should try an app called 'Tasker' It's kind of expensive but if you go to the devs website I think you can use it for free for like a week or so to see how it works out for ya
tasker is expensive but worth more than every cent. you can pretty much set it up ot automate anything

Bluetooth keeps turning off

Is there a way to disable the timeout features on Bluetooth. I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker that I use most of the day while working. If I pause the music for more than a few minutes the Bluetooth will shut off. I can re-pair the devices quick enough but it's a hassle. My Note 2 phone doesn't have this issue. Sometimes on the settings page, it will show Bluetooth as turned on but when I try to re-pair it will suddenly switch off and ask me to turn it back on.

Never had any issues with this on my headphones and thats sometimes with over 30mins of not playing anything.
This is a pure guess but try this.....connect and Pair your Bluetooth Bose speaker and then
Go to settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Click setting icon (cog on far right) on the paired device > and make sure both call and media audio box is checked.
if thats not the problem then this will do the trick hopefully
Go to settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Hit menu button > Visibility Timeout > and change it to Never
once again pure guess's since I've never had this issue before but the latter should work.
Good suggestions but didn't work. Hmmm.
I also had this problem with my bluetooth keyboard...
After a complete reset and switching the visibility timeout to never my keyboard was immediately recognized and now I can use it!
So, I don't think that's a hw-problem, it's just a crappy firmware...
... "Go to settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Hit menu button > Visibility Timeout > and change it to Never"
I can't change "Visibility Timeout" to "Never". Can't find "Visibility Timeout".
There is a point at "Settings - Device - Display - Screen Timeout", but this has no entry for "Never"
Thinking about getting a Bluetooth wireless keyboard soon. Hope I don't have any of these issues. Haven't tried Bluetooth on this device yet.

It is not the Note loosing connection. I have three BT keyboards that pair with all my tablets no trouble. The keyboards themselves sleep to save power. Hit a key to wake it wait for about a second and type and you are fine. The sleep delay is different on each keyboard. From around 2 to 5 minutes on my longest before it sleeps. For the time between charges on the keyboard that is quite a long time. I have accidently left a keyboard turned on from one evening to the next and used the keyboard for three or four days and just charged it then to be safe, it was still charged and working. Also, I just tried a mouse. The keyboard and mouse are both Bluetooth and work fine together. FYI - the mouse sleeps too after a few minutes.
