[Q] Need Bluetooth help - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Dinc works fine with my Jawbone headset with the stock ROM, and also works with Fusion ROM, which I appear to be stuck with.
I have tried CM builds and several other ROM's and none of them will acknowledge the existence of the headset. I've tried restarting and pairing in different ways. I even held them right next to each other. :^)
Is there a separate BT radio that can be installed in the other ROMs I'd like to try so that BT will work? I tried posting on CM and got silence.
Searching a bit, I found that some folks have a USB brick problem which also messes with BT, but everything else on my phone works. But I'm finding nothing else, maybe I don't know the right terminology.
Any ideas, please?

[Q] Force Close Youtube and Bluetooth issues

Hello all. I am enjoying android on my Tilt 2. Thanks to all who have contributed.
I am fairly new to Android and have been having some issues. Although there are references to one of my issues elsewhere none of the posted suggestions have worked for me. I have installed and uninstalled over a dozen different Youtube .apk files and each one results in a force close upon opening the app. Has anyone had this issue on a Tilt2 and how did you fix it?
Secondly, I have seen reference to bluetooth working in some of the newer builds. Is it working on a Tilt2 in any build? When I try to turn on bluetooth it trys for several seconds but never actually turns on. If anyone has it working on a Tilt2 could you please explain how you got it working? Can I use a stereo bluetooth headset with it, if not is there anyway to use usb headphones?
I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere. I am sure there will be some people asking if i even searched. As i mentioned, I have seen references, but none seemed to be clear on what device they were using. (Rhod, Tilt2, TP2, etc..) Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. Hopefully soon this will be an option for all-around everyday use on these devices.
Well BT doesn't really work... it'll pair, but it won't pass audio. At least that was my experience on my RAPH - haven't tested on my RHOD.
Youtube, never really tried that either... may need hw3d to work right. I heard that the 'low-quality' version of youtube works tho.
3.5mm headphone jack works - kinda. But currently to get it to work it breaks all other sound. I'm not sure if it works on the extUSB thing, but I'd imagine it would - you just set the snd.force to 1 (I set it to 2 for the 3.5mm jack) and boot Android while a call to voicemail is running - with some headphones plugged in. This does cause adverse effects - no sound other than the headphones, and I noticed funky noises coming out of the speaker when playing music thru the headphones...

I posted a working YouTube apk here (low quality mode only): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7954193&highlight=youtube#post7954193
BT doesn't currently work on the Rhodium. I assume it's because of the different BT stack that's used by our device. Besides that, while BT turns on for the Topaz & Raphael, audio doesn't pass properly, as was already mentioned. 3.5mm Headset doesn't work on the Tilt 2 through the ExtUSB (in fact, no audio passes through the adapter at all).

Don't know if you've figured this out yet or not, but I had the same youtube issue on my rooted LG ally. I've worked on it for over an hour now, and finally got a solution.
Download Titanium Backup from android market. Go to "Backup/Restore" in Titanium, scroll down to the YouTube entry, tap it, tell Titanium to Wipe Data.
Edit: Okay, I lied. Reboot and back to force closes.

[Q] BlueAnt V1 Headset + Evo

Trying to find some feedback from anyone using the BlueAnt V1 bluetooth headset with the EVO.
I'm having problems with the headset not answering calls maybe 85-90% of the time. It announces there is a call, but will not answer via voice command or hitting the button. I can answer via the phone but when I do it doesn't transfer voice to the headset. The headset thinks it is connected because when the call is ended it tells me.
Have done two factory resets on the phone and resets on the headset with no change. Also spoken to Blueant tech support and they weren't much help. All they said is they haven't heard of it having problems with the EVO and should be compatible with all Android devices. Their suggestion was to try it with another EVO and see if the problem still exists. Well, I don't have another to test it on so that does me no good. This headset worked great on both my Blackberry phones before I got the EVO and has the latest updates installed.
BTW...I'm running Myn's RLS4 w/ #17.
Thanks.
Well I don't think it is the Bluetooth , it is the Rom. I have problems with myns #4 with the sync in my email. I have a blue ant also and it does the same thing . I have tried other roms including virus and it works on them , try that .
sent from the phone that is EVO
Pretty sure I tried this headset when the phone was stock and with some other Sense and non-Sense roms. It has never worked properly.
Not sure if it has something to do with the lockscreen or not. The first time it is connected to the phone it works fine. But every time after that, it doesn't connect the call.
I haven't had any problems running anything on Myn's. But just to make sure, when I switch a rom again I will reset and try the headset.
yeah mine does the same thing, it works if i answer w/ voice command but if i press answer button most of the time the audio is route to phone speaker......Lame!
has anybody with a blueant tried it with cyanogenmod? i wonder if the different bluetooth stack yields different results. I'd like to see an app update for the blueant software too (had a cheaper headset that stayed connected way better)
When I pair the headset, it connects and works great the first call I get whether using voice command or button to answer. Then every time after that, it won't connect the call.
Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen or the phone going to sleep. I will have to do some trial and error.
Currently I am trying out the headset with MikFroyo 4.2 (Sense rom) to see if it makes any difference. This rom is really close to stock so maybe it will work?
I will post back with my conclusion.
My headset works fine now. I have found there is a coding issue that exists in certain roms such as Myn's and CM that prevent proper operation. CM seems to have put together a fix for it. Myn's still does not work at this time. It has been requested as a fix for RLS5 final.
Running eVoKINGS Black Titanium with Mik's 4.2 base and my headset works good.
hey where is the fix for CM or is it just in some of the versions? cause i just flashed CM7 and some of the features i loved about the Blue Ant before are not working like it will not play my audio like it did before i use to be able to listen to my music and what not through the blue tooth. if there is a fix for it i would love to get that working again.

Sorry...it's been a while and can't remember where I read about the fix. If I run across again will let you know. Might try downloading "BT mono" from the Market to see if that helps. Not sure if it is effective on AOSP or not but worth a look.

[Q] Headphones not detected

Hi chaps,
Wierd issue. Headphones are not detected when plugged into my phone unless I do a reboot. Similarly, when I unplug the headphones they are not 'un-detected' until a reboot.
However, using an app called toggleheadset I can force audio through to my headphones. This is a bit of a pain because 1) I have to remember to do it and 2) I lose Beats functionality.
I have tried using different headphones but this has no effect.
Any ideas as to why the headphone state is only detected at boot?
I have tried different Kernel/ROM combinations but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
also, if anyone can provide me with some pictures of their headphone port so I can compare it to mine that would be great.
Hi,
I have the exact same issue with my HOX since yesterday.
At first I thought the ROM had something to do with the issue, but after flashing several other ROMs, it still wasn't solved. (I haven't flashed back to stock btw)
"toggleheadset" works ok, but I can't use the microphone that way; I can't use my headphones to make calls anymore.
Also when answering phonecalls, sometimes my headphones are still toggled on, so I can't hear the other end. And the worst thing is: when I try to toggle the headphones off during the call, my screen dimms and I struggle to activate the widget. THATS a pain in the ass.
Does anyone know if the issue is software/hardware related? And the best way to solve this?
I'm wondering if this issue affects bluetooth headsets. If it doesn't, I'll consider buying one.
Old thread, but me the same... But my HOX survived waterboarding... I felt into the wather while sailing. Changed battery and screen, but now I see i have one more problem to solve. If any one have solution - please write. But for now I'll try to fix by my own
Cleaning Hole
Try to clean the hole where the Headphones are put in...
If its clean, try to reinstall the rom.

Bluetooth doesn't work after jellyverse.

i searched for "bluetooth" in the troubleshooting question and couldn't find someone with this issue. Bluetooth starts but doesnt pick up anything. my tablet picks up the signals but my phone doesn't on anything even my car or my headset. what could i be doing wrong ? it worked on stock correctly btw.
Try doing another clean install of the ROM. Sometimes the GPS won't work correctly the first time either.

Anyone else experiencing Bluetooth issues?

I have tried full wiping, clean flashing about eight different kinds of custom roms and can't connect to bluetooth stereos in cars (not worried about streaming music, just need for calls)
before I get told it's my headunit - my Bluetooth connects and works with one rom only.... it works with Resurrection Remix 7.1.2
anyone have any ideas, thoughts or fixes? Are there other people having Bluetooth issues?
i've tried things like deleting the pairing from my headunit/rebooting and clearing caches on my phone etc but had no luck.
9-00026-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.63821.1 baseband if that makes any difference
I never had problems connecting, the problem is that the volume is extremely low, to the point of being useless. I solved it before, but now I wiped and I don't remember how I did that. XPosed was probably involved.
