I just bought my wife a new S II to replace her old phone. Her bluetooth does not work properly.
The problem is only when she calls out. She will click on the device, and the phone voice asks her what does she want to do (Vlingo, even though I said Gvoice) through the phone, not the BT. Hands free on the BT only works if she receives a call, or calls last # dialled.
I've had the same problem for months now, I've never been able to find a solution.
I hate the built in voice talk, you cannot customise the voice and it doesn't even work properly.
I've just stopped using bluetooth in the car.

Hey guys,
i was wondering if anyone was facing this problem... i have the Alpine 103BT in my car which has an inbuilt parrot bluetooth system. I have noticed that when someone calls me it shows up on the lcd on the headunit then immediately drops the call! it shows up as a missed call on my tp2... but when i call using this bluetooth system then it works like a charm!
Any idea what i can do to change this? Is there a setting i have inadvertently changed?
I would really appreciate this because this call dropping really defeats the point of hands free!

I've got the same problem.
Just look a few posts down the list and you'll notice my 'cry for help'.
So far though, nobody's come to the rescue.
I've been reading that our phones have a unique BT-implementation, so it could be down to a bug in that area. If more people show up having similar issue, we might know.
Until then: fingers crossed and hope for sombody to post a solution.
Great! its not just me then! I hope it gets sorted! it gets on your nerves after awhile!
That's putting it mildly.
This sucks big-time: when on a business-call you definitely don't want your headset to die in you. During any conversation, really, but blasting along the motorway it's the last thing you need.
I also have an alpine 103 bt and an htc touch(elf) with onyx rom on it.
my problem is that when i make a call either from the head unit or the phone on the head unit it stops the music, displays CALLING and then after 3 seconds it displays ------------- , resumes the music, but the phone doesnt hang up. It continues the call, shows that is stil connected but you cant hear anything.
this is really frastrating as it does this sort of thing randomly and not always.
any thoughts?
Your symptoms sound a bit different from ours so it could be a totally different problem.
We might need to be paitient until one of the experts has a simiral experience and dived into the software.
Until then, I'm baffled.

Come to think of it... i have a similar problem.. when i get an incoming call it stops the music and registers a call and just a few second later..i get the --------------, and then the music comes back...by the time i fish my phone out of the pocket ive got a missed call! havnt noticed any problems when im calling though.
i tried repairing the phone to the unit but same thing! not sure what else i could do
Similar problem (I think)
Cant get a working setup in my car kit. I have a Jaguar XF SC with bluetooth handsfree...The TP2 (TMO US) pairs and docks fine, but doesnt work well. Incoming calls dont seem to be recognized, and outbound calls will dial and communicate, but wont hangup. When I hang up from the TP2, the car kit still thinks its connected and mutes the radio until i forcebly disconnect from TP2...

I've got exactly the same problem as the original poster. Mine's a vodafone TP2 with the standard vodafone rom. I've got the Alpine 104BTi. I can make outgoing calls ok but as has been described any incoming call will show the caller ID for about 1 ring and then it hangs up the call.
I've got a Jabra BT500 which works perfectly. I am wondering whether it may be the actual firmware in the Alpine device. If you look at the phone compatibility list on the Alpine website the TP2 is not listed. It worked fine with my Kaiser and this is listed as compatible.
I emailed their tech support and they said they are waiting for their customized version of the firmware from Parrot to be updated, possibly around September. I've noticed that for the Parrot standalone devices these all list the TouchPro2 as compatible, so maybe this will be fixed.
They did mention that the firmware update may only be available through the dealers. I'll keep an eye on their website. My current firmware version is 320.
I've read some other threads somewhere that people with the vodafone rom describe having problems with bluetooth that are fixed after flashing with a different rom so may turn out to be that.
Infuriating though.
It seems to be the poor implementation of the new BT stack
I have had similar problems to those described above, my Peugeot van has inbuilt BT (uses Parrot in implementation) which just misbehaves unbelievably including hanging up the current call if a new one comes in on call waiting, phonebook access is rediculously slow and buggy.
My Jabra BT8010 disconnects at random
My Jawbone disconnects very occasionally
The stack is full of bugs and HTC must know it - I reported it on their support system and firstly fobbed off, then they said they would look into it, then the log was auto closed - very convenient way to show they are meeting targets in resolving issues.
It is poor, poor and more poor. The new WIDCOMM stack looks great but doesnt really work.
Very poor for a flagship handset and they should sort something out
I went to an Alpine delearship who suggested what ukdoc was trying to do.. basically firmware update! Are you using a different Alpine website? Because the one i go to says coming soon on the page where software updates are supposed to be. I culdnt find any connection with parrot and alpine on the parrot website!
Basically what im asking is how are you going to be getting the firmware update and could you direct me towards it!
Many thanks Mate

FYI, I just upgraded the radio to "4.46.25.24 - HTC" (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939) and the handsfree seems better...not sure it's perfect, but it does answer and hangup now...
Upgrade Alpine CDE-104BTi firmware from 320 to 360
I have just updated the firmware in my CDE-104BTi radio to version 360
http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/support/bluetooth-update-software.html
This has fixed the problem of not being able to recieve incomming calls on my HTC Touch Pro 2.

I've just done likewise, and can also receive incoming calls at last!
Hi
I just tried updating the BT in my Alpine 104bti. The laptop connects to the headunit but the update tool don't find the connection, I've tried disabling the antivirus etc. But it don't see the connection but the connection is displayed on the laptop.
Any Ideas whats wrong ?
Cheers Gomez...
SOLVED
Tried again using a laptop with Xp on worked first time, Seems Windows 7 was causing issues.
I have a PC computer in my car that I use for many thing and I want to integrate my phone into it by using a Bluetooth voice gateway to play the sound over the speakers in the car and use a mic to talk into. Obviously since this is the Rhodium forum I have a Touch Pro 2 (by Verizon) running OEM ROM. The PC is running XP SP2 with Widcomm bluetooth stack.
Making calls I have no problems. When I'm in range it connects and when I make a call its flawless. The problem is when I get a call. When a call comes in it rings once then answers without me doing anything. And no its not the auto answer feature on a headset (i know that would be the first reply if i didnt say that). The issue is that even though there is a BT link to the PC the voice gateway doesn't connect until in a call. When i make one it connects when i hit send to dial, when i receive a call it connects when it starts to ring and once there is a connection it answers. It would be bad if im driving and someone calls i dont want to talk to or something and it just answers without me knowing.
I tested this theory with my regular BT headset. I had the headset off and I called the phone and once it started ringing i turned on the head set and sure enough it answered.
My question is how do i get it to hold a solid connection all the time like a normal BT headset would? Or make it not answer once a headset is connected?
I tried using the BlueSoleil BT stack also. This one worked ok once everything was connected but every time I came back in range of the PC or turned the PC on I would have to manually connect the voice gateway again.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: oh yea, also I had the same issues with my XV6800 (Titan) and never got it to work right either.
anyone have any ideas on this?
no one on this forum has tried this other than me?
Hello,
I've had my Tilt2 for 2 months now and am ready to get a headset. After many searches I can't find a definitive list of headsets that are working/ not working correctly.
I'm using a stock ROM and have the Tilt2 2 tweaked to 43% memory usage on boot-up. The phone is fast and everything works correctly. Also using SPB mobile Shell.
Has anyone tied in the Bluetooth 2.1 vs 2.0 headsets with correct operation? I want the voice command, audio passthrough, and buttons to work correctly.
Maybe we can start a list of Phone - ROM version - Headset - Whats working/not working.
I'm mainly concerned with the stock ROM but any info may assist others.
Thanks
Jim O
Well, I have the Jawbone Prime & Motorola HX-1 and both work fine.
Motorola H710 works fine as well.
Thanks for the info. Does the voice command work for making calls and you can also hear music files and audio from websites?
Thanks Jim O
Surely more folks can contribute to a good list. Lets get some more response going. This could be of great benefit to one and all.
Thanks!!!!!
Samsung WEP 850 with voice command works just fine.
The Sony DRBT100CX stereo bluetooth earbuds also work very well with the Tilt 2. All A2DP/AVRC audio and handsfree calling functions are supported. Nice bargain at $50 as well.
Yes, but...
... has anyone found a BT headset that announces the incoming caller ID over it instead of the phone's speaker?
I've tried a couple of older as well as one new BT headset. All pair and work flawlessly with my Tilt 2, but none of them will announce the incoming caller ID over the headset as it did with my original Tilt.
Yeh, I'm pretty sure this was a screwup in the Widcomm BT stack but just want to make sure. FYI, HTC tech support states that none of their phones do this! When I asked 'em why the old Tilts did, I didn't get any more response.
Well, I picked up a new Motorola H17 12/30/09. Everything works as advertised, except the incoming caller announcement (on phone announcement only). This headset was released only a couple months ago with the latest Bluetooth 2.1 and all the other amenities so this problem does seem to be a problem with the stack.
On a side note, this headset works great. Get ALL phone sounds transferred and also volume control on both the phone and headset. Works great with streaming video/audio. And it is loud, usually have it set to mid volume. Also, I bought it from an AT&T store ($80) and he stated that if anything goes wrong with it for 1 year just bring it in and he will replacement.

I have the Jabra HALO and works wonderfully well with my TP2, running Win6.5

The manager @ my local AT&T store has a Tilt 2 using a Blue Ant Q1 bluetooth & he says that his BT does all these things. I just ordered one so I will let you know when I get it. FYI he was using a Jawbone prior to the Q1.

I got my Blue Ant Q1 and it does announce the incoming calls over the blue tooth & your text messages, e-mail, reminders, your music- I like it. If you turn "announce incoming call off" in voice command it will not announce them over the speaker on the phone. I bought mine off e-bay for $48.99.
Was wondering if Coredroid 7.0 supports sharing phone contacts via bluetooth? I have a Motorola Roadster Bluetooth device in my car and hoped my phone contact list could be shared so I could voice dial using it.
I'm having the following issues:
1) Takes a long time to connect..phone shows paired but not connected (after several minutes it may or may not connect)
2) Doesn't allow me to voicedial (Get an FC if I hit the voicedial button on Roadster)
3) Doesn't support accessing phonebook via bluetooth?
Love the Rom....just wish I could use bluetooth device in my car. Anyone else having issues?
I too am seeing the voice dialer FC when activated from BT but it seems to work fine when initiated from the phone. Would be nice to be able to initiate voice dial from my BT headset. Have done some reading on this issue and appears to be occurring with many roms so it might not be a coredroid issue or even an issue coredroid can fix??

I ended up downloading Vlingo from the market. Voice dialing now works fine with my bluetooth Motorola roadster.

Are you able to use the bluetooth button, with the screen off, to initiate a dial?
I can't seem to find anything that works well to leave the phone in my bag in the back seat, and make a call.
Dear all,
My HTC Desire is now 15 months old, and still works as new. No, better than new since it's rooted and faster.
Coming to the problems:
My car has a bluetooth feature to stream music from the phone, and to take and make calls. Bluetooth music streaming works perfectly, and I can skip songs using the car controls.
I am facing the following issues with the "Phone Connect" feature when I pair the Desire:
After any and every incoming or outgoing call is completed, I get a pop up on the screen which says "Fatal Exception..." and I can only force close from here. When I force close, the signal strength icon shows a cross and all connectivity is lost for sometime, including BT: car says "phone disconnected". After a while the signal strength comes back and BT can be reconnected.
So basically I have to repeat this process everytime I make or answer a call via the car BT feature. Needless to say, it's a PITA.
I am guessing this is a problem to do with the radio or kernel of the phone. Not sure which. Please confirm this, and guide me to a radio or kernel file which may solve this issue.
My second problem has to do with the phonebook feature of the car. It can pull the contacts, the recently dialled numbers, recently received numbers, and missed calls. Only in the Desire it doesn't.
The phonebook feature can only see the contacts in the SIM card.
The recently dialled, received, and missed calls don't work. Numbers only show up on the car list if I have made/answered/missed a call while connected to the car BT.
The only feature that works as it should is redial.
As I am told, all Nokia models work perfectly on the same car model, and since we own a 'smart'phone, not to mention an Android, we should be able to get it to work however we want it to.
Any fixes for this one?
Thanks in advance.
PS. If you want the exact error message thrown by the phone after taking/making a call, I can write it down and get back to you afterwards.
BUMP!
Please help, guys!
