Having an issue with bluetooth FC on ec05 and eb13. I have a new Motorola Finiti headset that replaced a Motorola H17txt. The trouble Im having, is that whenever I receive an incoming call using the finiti, the ringer stutters (for lack of a better term) and bluetooth does a FC (I checked the bluetooth options and it still shows my headset connected for media but phone is unchecked). Right after I flash it works for 2 or 3 calls then this problem sets in and continues until I Odin again. Rebooting the phone does not fix it, nor does unpairing the headset and turning bluetooth off and back on, though to even get the headset to actually connect back to the phone I have to do that.
I tried eb13 with the same results.
Odin to di18 and it's fine.
Odin to dk28 and it's fine also.
So anyone have any suggestions? Bad headset? Motorola problem, should I contact them about possible bad firmware? Bluetooth problem with eb13 & ec05?
Didn't have any problems with the H17 while running eb13, but it died before ec05 was released.
Bluetooth is broken in Froyo, it's more noticeable under certain usage patterns, i.e. multiple headseats with A2dp. went back to Eclair and bluetooth connectivity is flawless
So if thats the case, is there anyway to stop the update push or so i need to just keep telling it to install later?
Root your phone, download root explorer, search for "systemupdater.apk" either delete or rename, and voila! no more update prompts. So far, it's worked pretty well for me, and now I've fully functional BT, YMMV
I have the same exact Bluetooth and it actually works better for me on EC05 than DK28. Maybe start fresh and try again. Great Bluetooth by the way

Are you running stock or a ROM? I guess now I should wonder if I just got a defective unit and an exchance would help.
I've had troubles with my phone disconnecting and the reconnecting to my A2DP speaker repeatedly while streaming audio. It never behaved that way with my Moto Droid X.
So I have to reconnect the speaker in the bluetooth configuration menu once disconnection.
ROM is Calkulin's 2.80
Try a different kernel or different ROM, or maybe different modem. I have no issues on stock rooted EL29 ROM, El29 modem, and Rogue 1.4.0 kernel/CWM recovery (not touch recovery, stay away from that one). I have 3 bluetooth devices, one in the car, 1 at home connected to my AVR, and a set of headphones, and audio streaming is perfect.
I'm branching off from aeroevans CM9 thread to talk about bluetooth.
Notable: I'm connecting to bluetooth in my car.
I have been using Bluetooth for a couple years on CM7 with no problems. I flashed the 4-20 build the other night and had trouble with both calls and music streaming. In outgoing calls, the recipient couldn't hear me, though I could hear them. With music, it would go silent every couple seconds for a few seconds. These problems weren't unexpected as the ROM is still in development. (and HTC can't get their **** together and give us ics vivow drivers...)
I use bluetooth a lot, so I proceeded to restore CM7 that I had backed up before flashing ICS. Now, I'm not able to stream my music as I had in the past. It's doing the same silent thing as it was in the ICS build. I was able to make an outgoing call, but it cut in and out more than normal.
So my questions are: What controls the bluetooth? The kernal? the rom? HTC drivers? something else? Why would I still have issues even after restoring to CM7 that has worked find in the past?
Similar problem with both cm9 and AOKP ICS for me.
Just to clarify I am talking about BT in my car.
When I dial out I can't hear them and they can't hear me. When I receive a call I can sometimes hear them but they can never hear me. Audio BT for music transmits fine though.
I think I fixed this just by clearing the cache... The must have been something lingering from ICS.
To get bluetooth working on ICS, do we need drivers from HTC?
Ok, I've read of 1-2 other people who've had this same issue. Tried contacting them with no results.
Issue: When on a BT call in my car, the person on the other line hears themselves speaking...i.e. echo. If I mute the microphone on my phone, it goes away...but obviously they can't hear me.
ROMs tried: Calk's v1.4 and AOKP Milestone 5. Flashed both twice; tried method of going to ODIN and loading stock EL29, rooting, adding CWM, then going to CM7.2 as well as the stock to EL26 and then flashing. Cleared data/cache/delvik cache multiple times.
Went back to EL29 stock and works great.
Any ideas of what I could do to fix? Really liked AOKP.

My girlfriend complained about the same issue with my phone, and my "fix" was to lower the BT volume on the device, and max out the volume in the car, and she said the echo was gone.
If I did that I'd go deaf with the hang up beep in my car.
Glad to hear it's a little more widespread than I thought. Hopefully this gets fixed with newer releases of ICS.
Ok, going to ask what's most likely a stupid conceptual question:
For both my Calk's ICS 1.4 and the AOKP Milestone 5 installs I followed qbking's video's to the letter.
Now, to the best of my understanding, this ROMs come packed with a kernel such as FD26. However, you can load different kernel's such as the new FE07 which could very well affect my BT and potentially fix it (or not...)
So, to flash a new kernel, I'd have to use ODIN to install the EL26+CWM to get back to a GB recovery. From there I flash the new kernel, then reflash the ICS ROM.
Here's what I don't get...if the ROM comes packed with say the FD26 kernel, won't that overwrite the FE07 (or whatever) kernel I just flashed? What am I missing here?
Thanks!!! Really trying to see if my BT issue is something I can fix. Want AOKP back again, bad!!

Lol...it won't be so loud, at least, not for me it isn't.
I'm an over the road truck driver and the only time I experience this is if I, or the person I'm talking to is in a really poor service area, i.e. South Carolina anywhere on I-95. Other than that I never have echo, & I'm on the phone for hours & hundreds of miles at a time spanning multiple states.
So it's not a ROM problem, kernel or modem related maybe, but I'm usually running the latest modem & kernel & have been on Team Nocturnal's ICS Blend "The Goodness" since about version 1.5, we're on version 8.0 right now. That would lead me to believe it's also not kernel or modem related
Fwiw, I use a Blue Parrot BT250-XT+, or Planatronics BB903, or a Blue Parrot VXi2 Expressway.

So you're not using a vehicle's BT system but rather an earpiece?
The earpiece would not be an issue as the issue is the microphone on the phone is still on. So, over a car's stereo system it's plenty loud enough to feed into the phone. In a BT earpiece there wouldn't be enough volume to cause a problem.
I have not noticed this with any ics leak and my car built in bluetooth. My only complaint about bluetooth is that the volume is too low when streaming audio.
I know of three people from my searching who did...one person said they went to the latest version of CM9 and that fixed it...going to try this weekend.

I was using a vehicle one, that I installed myself.
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113BT300/Kenwood-KCA-BT300.html paired with http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113DDX512/Kenwood-DDX512.html?search=ddx512&tp=20217
I reduced the echo by lowering the BT volume during the call on the handset, and raising the volume on the car receiver.
I know, I know the thread title is BT echo with ICS ROMs...I am not running ICS, but for what it's worth, same issue here often, though NOT every call... I am running completely stock (still GB 2.3.6). Phone BT is paired with Motorola T215 that's clipped to the visor in my truck. ...and for me also, turning down the volume down a notch or two helps...In my case, I was actually thinking it is a feedback issue, where the other person hears their voice picked back up through the mic...that's why turning down the mic helps (or why they don't hear it when the mic is on mute)...
That would probably help, but what's weird is that adjusting the handset volume doesn't seem to affect my BT volume...at all.
I've always assumed it had to do with the BT module on the car.

Really? That's weird. In my car, adjusting the handset volume affects the system volume coming out of the speakers.

When I press the volume on the BT module, the phone will display "Bluetooth In-Call Volume" and adjust accordingly. Conversely, the phone will display the same when pressing the volume on the phone during a call. It could be relative to your BT module - if I understand correctly the BT module needs the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) - as what allows for volume control via BT (as well as the play,pause,etc. on music over BT). Does your device support it?
I also found that if I slightly lower the visor, the sound doesn't "bounce" off the roof of the truck and helps not create echo as often, so I can turn the BT module volume up higher, if need be.
Just an FYI - when I used to plug a line from the headphone out from my HTC Hero to the truck stereo aux in , I would use the truck's speakers and the phone's mic...but there would definitely be echo issues if I cranked up the volume on the stereo...which of course let me to believe the similar issue occurs with my BT device and the phone itself because the mic is close to the speakers on the BT device.
Yep, module is AVRCP 1.3 compatible...which is part of the reason I like AOKP. Bitpool on the BT is set much higher than stock, and the metadata is transferred correctly. Everything is wonderful except for the damn echo.
What's weird is stock works totally fine; AOKP M5 had the echo, and Calk's 1.4 had an echo and static per my parents on their ground line and their ET4Gs. Wife's iPhone didn't seem to have the issue, so I wonder if it had processing built in to cut out the echo.
Going to try the latest versions of the ROMs to see if it magically fixes it.
Ever since ICS came along I have been experiencing linking issue with my car's Bluetooth.
While it can detect the phone, problem is every time it's connected as a media speaker device only. To remedy that, I have to manually go into the phone settings and enable the phone calls too... Every single time.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Bumpers.
No issues on multiple builds and roms both ICS and JB stock and AOSP all work fine. Try deleting the phone profile from the car bluetooth and the car profile from the phone, reboot phone and pair again. Look for the message that pops up just after pairing asking for permission and check yes.
I have done precisely that. However I have experienced this on both of my cars bluetooth. This started after a certain OTA update.

Bumpie.
Sorry, another bump hoping for an answer.
I,m running stock/rooted JB gb08 was on GA10 before, no issues with BT. are you connecting to a factory car radio or aftermarket?
I have a kenwood DDX719 and it works flawlessly, music, calls no problem.
ICS is outdated you should try JB, it may just solve your issue. There is a new one/click in development sextape's GB08 stock/rooted build.
Pp.
Thanks for your reply.
I am having issues with both the factory car bluetooth and my Motorola bluetooth speaker.
I have deleted the profiles from both devices and re-setup everything. This time, car automatically recognizes the phone as a media device. However, I still have to reach into my pocket to take out the phone and manually connect it as a phone.
Your issue could just be the Motorola bt unit. Try pairing to a different phone and see if it works.

No, I am experiencing the same issue with both the car bluetooth and Motorola.
It looks like your options Are a Gb el29 stock build or a Jb Gb08 stock build and then test.
These JB builds are very stable, I recommend the Gb08, it may solve your problem. This has only been an issue with some of the unstable/experimental builds and ics qualifies as that.
Time to one click your problem away.
