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?
Hi there,
I've searched this great forum for this piece of information and haven't found it, so here goes:
I was about to buy a Desire HD and then I read several users reporting absence of voice dialing over a bluetooth headset. I have to be sure about this, because it would be a deal breaker for me. Apart from this the DHD seems to be a device that fits my needs perfectly.
Hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks for your help in advance
best regards
André
it does do voice dialing over bluetooth with android 2.2 and up, hope that's useful for you.
thanks for answering
I heard that Froyo solved the issue, but that there was still a problem with the Desire HD regarding this feature. could you just confirm that it works. do you have the dhd and tested it yourself? Hope you don't mind my asking, but I don't want to buy a USD 500 phone and find out that this very important feature for me doesnt work. So could you kindly tell me if your info is based on your personal experience with it?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
i am also very curious about this question. I was searching the internet and did not find information about how to get this feature to work. It is not so important for me, as for my father (he owns desire 2.2 fw), but i will also appriciate it. It`s mostly needed in car and it`s quite dangerous without it, i think you know what i am talking about. Thank you for your answers.
I tried voice dialing using Google's Android Voice Actions which worked. However, I did not use bluetooth headset.
I understand there is another app that does voice dialing too (became free from USD$10) which name I cannot recall now.
I believe these can do the job you require.
*Edit* The name of the other app is Vlingo. You can try it out.
just tried Google Voice Search with my BT headset (Plantronics 975) and long-pressing the button didn't get me anywhere...
let's see if Vlingo works
if anyone has a solution it would be very appreciated, since having to tap the phone while driving completely misses the point of using a bluetooth headset in the car.
best regards
André
I have a 10 day old desire hd, it does indeed come with a voice dialer (cyberon voice commander) - at least the telus version of the phone does.
I've not had issues with getting the voice dialing to work...
BUT, after much troubleshooting, I have found that whe the cyberon voice commander app is running, the phone's external speaker volume becomes much quieter - the result: it can be difficult to hear your phone ring in an environment that is not extremely quiet.
the fix: force close the voice commander.
I'm currently in search of a replacement voice dialer app to replace it with
Revolution HD 3.0 is based on Froyo 2.2.1 and I am not able to dial via BT.
There is no response to BT button!
Froyo 2.2 should solve this problem. Should.... In my case this is still issue.
ps. My BT is Plantronics 975
Vlingo does not work with BT Headset long-press button, but it's kind of a workaround. Very, VERY big mistake on behalf of HTC in not making handsfree BT headset voice dialing work, at least until now. I've been escalated in the HTC support, but up to now the only thing they told me is that i works with the plantronics 220. I asked them why it doesn't work with Plantronics 975, since it is their top-of-the-line headset and am waiting for an answer.
If this doesn't get fixed soon it'll be a dealbreaker for me.
Hope someone has a clue as to how to solve this.
best regards
André

it has the voicedialer.apk which works along side with google voice actions (does not replace it) and allows you to voice dial with a long press of the bluetooth button.
I installed it this morining, works great. It is included in LeeDroid Rom.

Thanks a lot. Will try it later this evening Does my DHD have to be rooted in order to use it?
Vlingo was working rather well will bt heaset long button press until the update to 3.0. now I have to interact with the screen, which defeats Voice Dialing with BT headset for me.
Does anyone have another solution which works well for BT Headset Voice Dialing?
Best regards
André
I'm having problems getting voice dialing to work with the bluetooth headset as well. I've tried both RCMix3D Runnymede 1.4 and Android Revolution 6.1.1. It was very difficult to get the headset connect and it won't reconnect automatically. Further, the voice dialing app was missing from one of the ROMs and when bluetooth voice dialer starts up on the other one, it freezes the phone and you have to pull the battery which you know is a nightmare on this phone. Note that bluetooth will work when the phone is used to do the dialing but I need to be able to initiate this from the headset so it is truly hands-free to satisfy safe driving laws.
Does anyone have bluetooth voice dialing working on their Desire HD where it is invoked from a tap on the bluetooth device? Please post which ROM you are using and any special tricks required to set it up.
Thank you.
As a followup, I installed LeeDroid to try that out. It is still difficult to connect to the headset and reconnect automatically. However, once it is connected, handsfree bluetooth dialing works!
Can anyone tell me what needs to be fixed to make the BT connection work properly?
Is this a known issue/"feature"? If I'm using wifi calling on my G2, the device ignores my connected wired headset and uses only the phone speaker and mic. If I'm not using wifi calling, everything works fine. It did this before and after installing Bacon Bits. I haven't tried this with Bluetooth, but wired is really where my concern is.
Brad
Sorry for the shameless bump, but is anyone else having this problem? It happens on both mine and my wife's G2. The DTMF (dialing) comes through the headset, but when the call itself connects, it goes to the handset. Speakerphone works fine also.
Anyone else? Is this a known bug or "feature" that I'm just not aware of?
Brad
Yeah, I just discovered this issue....any have any information on this? I was hoping to use this for long conference calls...kind of useless if I cannot use a headset.
Edit: Bluetooth seems to work fine - but I don't want to depend on it.

I hope that's not a bug b/c my main use on my phone (HTC magic 32b) has been making calls through internet using new built in sip and the next phone I will get is an HTC T-Mobile G2 and if I can't talk through headset will making calls through sip then that will be a huge drawback.

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.
