I am having problems with my blue tooth handsfree and my O2 XDA IIi.
The Xda recognises, connects and is paired with the headset and vice versa. However when connected, all I can hear is static through the head set.
I have tried the headset on another phone and it works fine, also have tried friends headsets on XDA and again only static can be heard.
Any advice would be gratefully received!!!
Ah hah! I'm back and a happy bunny!!! Managed to work it out all by my little self. - If you cold reboot the XDAii by holding down the power button at the same time as pressing the reset, when you restore, the handsfree kit works!!!
Probably really simple to some of you high techies out there but I'm proud of me!!!
In fact, what are you doing is hard reboot the PDA and cause all the program run into manufacturer setting and it will cost all your program and setting lost.
I'm facing this issues before. Whereby, all type of bluetooth is not functioning although that able to recognize by PDA. At the same time, when incoming call received, the ringing tone will like inconsistent/jerking.
It's due to database problem .....
Hi,
I have a bluetooth phone in my car, when I first connected the HTC Desire HD up, it had no problems, it paired and everything looked fine... around 10 minutes later, I noticed the bluetooth had simply disconnected from the car but was still running on the phone. I tried to reconnect it up to the car but it wouldn't, I then turned it off, and turned it back on.. it struggled to come back on, but after a few attempts it did come on and the car connected again...
About 5 minutes later the same thing happened again. At this point my phone started to really slow down, I looked in watchtower and the bluetooth was at the top of the list, soon as I turned off bluetooth the phone was responding fine again.
I have since tried connecting to the car multiple more times and have contacted HTC about it, but it seems to disconnect at random times.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I heard of similar problems with the original desire so wondering whether it could be something similar.

Hi Kev,
I am having similar problems with my Desire HD and Audi in car bluetooth system. I posted on another forum and found others were finding the same...
I pair my phone and within couple of minutes the phone has disconnected and won't re-connect.
Not found any definitive answer as yet, but seems BT in this phone isn't so good. Also read a post saying HTC were aware of this but an update wouldn't be available for sometime.
Hopefully someone else can shed some light!

I also noticed this the last few days with my Bury CC9056 carkit. I have my DHD since October 18th, and up till last friday it connected fine. Since then it connects to the carkit, but within a few seconds the connection is lost...

Me too. My connection to my Jabra car kit is stable once connected... but trying to get it connected in the first place is a total headache.
Never had this problem with my Desire, so why HTC should change the Bluetooth function in the HD is a mystery.

tbh i'm glad its not just me thats experiencing problems meaning it could be a software problem rather than something with my handset in particular.
I have been in touch with HTC about this, and I have just sent them the link to this thread so they can see i'm not the only one with this issue, so if anyone else has this issue it may be good to try and keep it all in here.

Mines also the audi in car system - do you find that you struggle to turn the bluetooth off and on again once it disconnects or that your phone becomes a little laggy until you turn the bluetooth off?
Yeah - I use the bluetooth widget on the home screen and once it disconnects, it will either take ages to turn off and on again, or it takes 2 presses to turn off.
I have just purchased a Plantronics 230 headset as need bluetooth for my job and it works perfectly - it's no where near the quality of the in car one though.
Also booked in my Audi as it's still under warranty - spoke to them on the phone and they said they will try and update the firmware but the Desire HD isn't on their supported phone list. Have seen a copy of this and not many phones are!!
I would of thought though, that as long as the phone does connect to the phone system in the car that it is compatible.
I have had 30mins once out of it before it disconnected and it was absolutely perfect in that time, including the phone book etc.
I do believe its something to do with the bluetooth on the phone as its a bit strange the way it struggles to turn on again once it fails.

That really hacks me off. I mean, BT is a standard. The only reason Audi can give for not supporting a phone that supports at least the same level of BT as them is that they (Audi) do not adhere to the BT standard.
Now, we all know in real life that cars and phones have problems/bugs/whatever BUT unless they can show that there is indeed a *bug* with the phone then the onus should be on Audi to support it.
Dave
Just for the record, it is not just Audi. With me it is together with the Bury carkit, where it first worked fine. (and also works with all other phones...)

I can confirm the issues with the BT. I have a parrot Mki9000 in my car and the first time when i tried to connect the DHD , the phone stopped to respond and I was forced to restart it. Since then the phone is paired with the car kit and works fine in a2dp mode for playing music, but when i try to make a call it simply not work. Yo better discribe the problem I will give an example:
The phone i properly connected and playing music, then it's ringing, but the ring sound is coming from the phone speaker not from the car. Then If i answer the call the sound comes from the phone (it shows that there is connection to the car kit). I've tried to press the speaker icon and there is a list with output devices (the phone, loudspeaker, and my car kit) I've tried to select the car kit several times , but there was no success. When I close the phone the music start to play from my car's BT system , so I think there is a problem with the handsfree function/protocol only a2dp works great , and I didn't have any issues with it. Also I've tried file transfer via BT, it works fine two.
Mitsubish Outlander carkit
I can confirm the same issue with the Mitsubish outlander carkit. It even happens that it drops the conversation. sometimes it's ok for half an hour, sometimes it disconnects after 1-2 minutes.
I also have a Jabra (bluetooth) headphone and noticed that if you pick up a call on the phone the sounds doesn't route to the headphone. If I pickup on the headphone it works fine.

I have a Pioneer head unit with BT in the car and that seems to work OK, not withstanding the fact that the HU has BT issues of its own (hardware fix needed - I'll get a new unit rather than fix it as I want one with A2DP) but once connected it works fine.
I have a Plantronics headset that seems to exhibit the same problems as your Jabra. At least if I use the phone to answer the call the sound comes through the phone. Also, if I have been using the headset the next call I make goes through the phone speaker which is a pain.
I'm wondering if HTC are routing the sound through the device that's actually *controlling* the call? So even if a headset is paired and connected to the phone, if you use the phone to make the call, as most people would, then it assumes that that's where the sound should get routed. If so, doh .....!!!!!
Just to add, if the sound does get routed to the phone you can use the 'choose speaker' option on the screen to route it to the headset but you shouldn't have to do this.
Anyone reported these issues to HTC and got a meaningful response?
Dave
I did send an email to HTC. Their wonderfull answer was about: "is your phone mentionned in the compatabilylist of the carkit, if not drop the problem there"...
I am still waiting for a response from HTC.
Mines got to a point now where I cant even make a call, it connects to the car, I go through phone book (on car) choose person to call, press call.. it tries for a couple of seconds then comes up disconnected, about 10 seconds later the phone disconnects from the car and will nto reconnect.
My phone then lags like mad until I turn bluetooth off which according to watch tower is taking up about 80% of the CPU.
any updates/solution to all these problems ?
I need it to work with MW600 before buying Desire HD
Last contact I had with HTC is they told me it had been escalted to the software team, so i'm guessing next time a software update comes out it could come about in that, but at the minute no still not fixed.

I've always thought that that's the way it is on all BT headset phones, it makes sense, if the incoming call was for my girlfriend, she can answer from the phone itself, and it automatically routes this through the phones speaker, and if it was answered from the headset, then it routes to the headset.. makes sense to me, I think it's quite good that it does that!
Do any of you have the process com.android.phone crashing when making a phone call through BT?
Ditto my mitsubishi outlander factory bt system. Seemed to work fine first time but then disconnected during first call and would not reconnect for days. Then after connecting not all functions would work ...no incoming call alert on car system, no dialling from car etc. I know the car system is fine as all functions work perfectly with my old nokia xpress music.

I can't get any sound from my speaker at all. Anybody having this issue or am I the lucky winner.

I can't answer such a generic question without more information. First, I'm going to assume you mean the earpiece, not the external. Next, I'm going to assume it's STOCK EC05 rooted. So based on that assumption, you likely don't believe you've done anything to your Epic that would cause this kind of error. Then I'm going to take it that, either your question is rhetorical and you believe you have a hardware issue, or you believe that either EC05 or rooting is the cause and you're asking if anyone has had any similar problem with EC05.
I can say that I don't know of any similar problem with rooting or EC05. But seeing as you don't mention whether you're even stock or custom, or whether this problem arrived before or after you rooted, no one will be able to compare their situation to yours. Please enclose better information. The following are my generic solutions:
1. Download Sound Manager and attempt to tweak hidden sound settings.
2. Flash or re-flash a ROM (as I don't know if you're custom or not to begin with).
3. Odin to stock or stock-rooted EB13.
4. Head to your nearest Sprint repair store.

Same issue
All notification sounds and ringtones play through the earpiece instead of the speaker
I had the issue on stock rom figured rooting would fix it.
It did for a couple days and then everything went back to playing through the earpieces as if I was on the phone.
I use a bluetooth car kit often and Im wondering if that has anything to do with it
There may be a simple fix for you. This has happened to me a few times when I have plugged up my Epic to wired headphones. Something about disconnecting can sometimes cause the phone to think it is still outputting sound to the headphones, so you cannot hear sound anymore . . . even with a restart. A simple fix is just to plug in a headphone jack again and remove again. This has fixed this issue for me numerous times.
Lost my sound today
Took the above advise and plugged in a wired headset then unplugged. Worked like a charm...for about 2 hours...then happened again. No matter what I try now, cant get sound again.
B4 u ask:
Been CleanGB/BML w/o any mods or themes for long time.
Havent installed any new apps in days.
No OC/UV
Sounds are fine in wired headset
BT works.
Cleared DV cache and reboot > no fix
ODIN'ed stock EC05 > no fix
---this tells me its not the os, but why did it work after plug/unplug headset?
Yes, Sprint store just down the street, but I love a challenge Anyone?
Same problem. Works fine if I plug in an audio out. But did ring for instant messages for about a day. So speaker does work. Wonder if I should go with the kernel that was orginally flashed with cm9?

There are two different issues being reported here.
One being, sounds come out of the ear piece and not the speaker (e.g. ring tone during incoming call can be heard with phone up to your head).
The other being no sound at all, unless you connect to the headphone jack.
The latter I would suspect to be a HW problem (loose internal speaker connection maybe?).
The former would be an audio routing issue I've experienced myself (usually related to BT, speaker-phone, etc).
A simple reboot should fix the routing issue (has for me a few times).
=]
If u Odin back to stock and it still doesn't work then its probly hardware. I tried everything thinking it was sw but ended up replacing the speaker.

I have the exact same issue, if I plug in headphones it will work through speaker, nothing connected it thinks headphones are connected. I have to jam a eyelet from my shoes in there, and connect it to bluetooth to hear audio...
So I ain't the only one...
Went back to stock, same difference, nothing I know will correct it...

This is a known phenomenon I've seen a thread here before where the headphones are reversed... like it think the headphones are plugged in when they aren't.... dunno what causes it but its certainly not too abnormal.

Wrong forum, this is galaxy s1 epic 4g with keyboard.
This happened recently. When I make phone calls with my bluetooth headset, my AT&T Note 2 with stock rom will drop the phone audio in the middle of the phone call. The sound will come out of the speaker on the top of the phone, instead of the headset. I did notice that this begins to happen after i installed a phone signal refresher app. I notice that when it's refreshing my phone signal, it also turns my bluetooth radio on and off. I have since uninstalled the app, but the bluetooth problem persists. Please help me. Thanks!
Did you also try repairing your Bluetooth headset. Unpair first. Reboot your phone, then repair the headset try again! Hopefully that helps your issue!!

I have a completely stock GN2 on 4.3 and I am experiencing bluetooth issues since the upgrade. I use bluetooth in the car and when I get a call, if i switch to the device rather than the radio, it will switch back to the radio after 30 seconds or so. Also, the radio used to go quite when on a call, now it will kick back on. I ended up powering down the radio just so I could talk on the device.If anyone has any ideas.....
Hey guys ,
So iam having a problem with the bluetooth and its just making me crazy.
I have a BT system in my car (Seat leon) , the phone should auto connect to it and it does , but it only connects to the phone option , not the music streaming option.
IN the phone BT menu both calling and music is marked as active , and yet it wont connect to the music thing , only if i manually disable BT and enable it again.
Please note that none other phone had this problem , my iphone 6+ never had this nor the note 4.
Please help.
I have this exact problem with the H815, and the same car!
Strangely, the very first time I paired it the music audio worked fine, but every time I've tried since I've hit this issue. I even tried re-pairing and it still hit this issue. It seems like the car half thinks the music profile is connected, as BT appears in the "media" input options, and it even comes up with the track name that I was last playing (although this might just be the car remembering it). But sounds doesn't come through, and audio controls don't work.
I didn't see this precise issue mentioned elsewhere (although did see various other complaints about this phone and car BT audio), so I'm wondering if it's specific to the Leon or that's just a huge coincidence?
Well i dont know if its a car specific however , i did try several other phones and so far only the G4 has this problem.
Honestly iam considering replacing it since i always listen to music from my phone , and i have a 1 hour drive to and from work every day...
Such a small thing and such a big impact , unbelievable.
Works perfectly with the H815L on my car. I can hear music, television sound, recorded files,
radio station from tunein radio and everything else... It's not a problem with the device but rather with your
car system or you don't know how to operate it correctly...
dilgit ,
Did you even read what i asked ? , every thing is working when i connect it manually , but when i enter the car and it should connect automatically it connect only to the BT phone function rather then both phone and media options.
When talking with carkit it always cuts voice after 1-2 minutes ,I must press Bluetooth icon on call screen to reconnect again
Hi chundrik,
Have you solved this yet? I am disappointed that theres still no software update to fix this (version 10b for H815 didnt help). I mailed LG who say they think its a hardware fault but seems unlikely to me?

Fixed it! Turned out the leon needed a bluetooth firmware update. Not the phone's fault after all!

Same issue with TaoTronics TT-BR03
If have exactly the same issue with TaoTronics TT-BR03 (bluetooth hifi car adapter) . First connection is good, reconnecting fails or only connection for phone calls is established. If I press play/pause on the bluetooth adapter then the sound starts and stops from the phone speaker!
I suspect there won't be an update for TaoTronics...
