bluetooth problems?

Anyone else having bluetooth problems or is this operator error?
I can switch bluetooth on, make my handset visible, pair with other devices and receive files from other handsets, however when I try to send anything, I can't connect to paired devices and bluetooth hangs meaning I have to switch my handset off and on.

I was using bluetooh last night and all was ok
but unlike my last phone c902 the bluetooth is on a timer then turns off visibility

Working fine for me. Paired up my bluetooth headset and will still be working hours later even if I haven't interacted between them.

It's strange, devices show as paired but not connected and I can't make them connect.

Have been able to use BT for file transfer between my Desire and laptop and HD2. Also connected to my Plantronics BT headset. I think you need to have an appropriate BT driver for some devices like BT keyboards.

I too am having minor issues.
The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.
For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.
Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.
Dae.

Strange. I'll try connceting to my laptop later.

I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??
Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?

still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow.

I'm also having problems...
I have the Parrot CK3200 LS-COLOR and it connects to the phone ok, or vice versa and then it always falls over when trying to sync the contacts... It shows my facebook profile pic and then it fails.
If I dial a contact through the phone, or receive a call, it comes out fine through the speakers.
So I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way the the desire handles contacts.
Sorry if there's been a resolution to this, I did search first

me to also having the same problems. spent 4 hours on google last night and still no closer.

Weird as it might sound, I had no issues connectiong to car stereo. But when I tried to pair it with friends mobile, SonyEricsson c902 - it crashed!
I was trying to send a picture file I have downloaded using bluetooth.
Also, can anyone tell me how to send a mp3 file I have downloaded off the internet to another mobile using bluetooth?
Thanks

Have you enabled FTP under Bluetooth advanced settings? I have no problem transfering files to and from PC or other mobile phone. Also make sure the device is dicroverable and paired.

I had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: I paired and connected the Desire with my bluetooth car head unit and it works fine for phone & audio, but it will not auto connect each time I get in the car and I have to go through the pairing process and enter a code each time. Voice dialling also doesn't work. My previous handset (Touch HD) connected automatically if the bluetooth was on so I don't think it's a problem with the head unit. Someone suggested it might be due to an old bluetooth protocol on the head unit (I'd like to avoid having to replace it if possible).

i managed to send a file to another htc desire today, last time i tried, i admit i didn't enable the ftp service, however I could not send via bluetooth to a nokia n96 but to be fair, my desire probably just didn't want anything to do with it . but on a serious note I cant seem to get it to send to my windows 7 x64 disto.

take that back .. apart from the N96 joke.. reason windows was not accepting was because avast anti virus was blocking it.

[Q] Connecting GN to Mercedes Comand system

Hi
Guys I have a 2011 C Class with the Comand system in it. It has internet access which you use using the WAP on your phone once it is connected via Bluetooth to the Comand system. It worked fine with my Galaxy S but now that I have the GN it wont access. Does anyone know why or does anyone know how to fix this.

Are you sure it uses wap and not Bluetooth? Even if you're right and it does use wap, it may be worth checking if there's an option to use Bluetooth and to see if that works. With Bluetooth you'd of course need to pair the car's bt with your phone's.

Hi thanks for your reply according to manual these are the conditions that are necessary for connection.
"the mobile phone supports DUN Bluetooth profile(Dial-Up Networking)and is connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth interface. The DUN Bluetooth enables the mobile phone to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet"
As I said my Galaxy S connected to it fine and enabled the internet connection on the COMAND system.

The only thing I can suggest is that you ensure that your phone's Bluetooth is paired with your car's. If you've already confirmed that it is then then the only other thing that comes to mind is to perhaps try using your phone as mobile hotspot over Bluetooth.
Did you set it up yourself with your other phone or was it set up for you when you bought the car?

Lauk75, I'm sorry but neither of your posts made technological sense. WAP is a protocol by which mobile devices access the internet. Bluetooth is a radio device allowing 2 devices to exchange information, ie audio via a headset or a card between 2 phones.
Onto the problem. Is the comand unit trying to use the SAP protocol? I know androids support of this is fairly limited? Are there any other settings in the head unit you can change? If you tell me if its comand 50,20,10 etc I'll look at the manual for you.

Ah, I wrongly assumed that the problem was with trying to play music from the phone. I see now that it is all about accessing the Internet. My mistake.
Having said that, there is a Bluetooth tethering option on the galaxy nexus, the description of which suggests it is for sharing the phone's Internet connection in a similar way as you would do in normal tethering. That was my second suggestion in my second post above . Perhaps it is worth a try, perhaps not.

thanks for your reply. All I can say about the comand system is that its called COMAND ONLINE. No model number. Its a brand new system that's in the new C Class. As I said my Galaxy S connects the internet to it no prob. It must be to do with ICS maybe. Tried the Bluetooth Tethering mentioned by LAUK 75 (thanks for your reply) but still no luck.

Then I would gather that its an issue with the Bluetooth stack on ics. If your rooted u may want to try a 4.0.3 rom and see if that fixes the issue. Other than that I think ur out of luck. I've not looked but are there any Bluetooth apps in the market, as they may use their own stack/ driver for Bluetooth. (Worth a shot)

On looking, there are two apps in the market which add Bluetooth PAN functions. They may be worth a shot. Search for Bluetooth pan in the market.

Also try an app called PDAnet, which enables Bluetooth DUN profile.

Guys thanks. Tried PDANET but it doesnt load on ICS. Tried Nook Colour tether doesnt work either.

Guys
Can anyone, please have a look at this Thread again. I have still noit been able to use the internet on my mercedes when my Galaxy Nexus is connected to it. I think it's something to do with the Bluetooth settings within ICS.
According to manual these are the conditions that are necessary for connection.
"the mobile phone supports DUN Bluetooth profile(Dial-Up Networking)and is connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth interface. The DUN Bluetooth enables the mobile phone to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet"

PDANet for Android seems to be working fine. Make sure you have GPU acceleration turned off in developer settings. In order to access Bluetooth DUN Mode you need to install FoxFi

Hi anton2009, thanks for your response. When I use PDAnet 3.50 and select Bluetooth DUN mode it takes me to Foxfi I then select Activate Bluetooth DUN and it says fail to Activate. Internet not detected.

Hmm... well I thought you would be able to do it without having the PC PDANet component, but apparently you do...? So this would make this quite useless... I guess the only thingI can think of would be the bluetooth tethering option in Wireless Networks, but you already stated that does not work. Sorry.

Guys eventually solved this. An App called Blue Dun available through Google Play has fixed this problem. See line 101
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16717#c101
I have just spoken with the developer of the app and their is an updated version coming out this week, the new version will be compatible also for Toyota Touch&Go navi, Tom Tom nav. , Clever GPS and BB Playbook.

[Q] Blue tooth App

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1. I love it so far. the one problem that i am having is this. I recently bought a blueant Q2. it sync perfectly with the phone and everything works well.
My problem is that the native phone dialer requires a network connection. This is stupid since my dumb phones that i had for years did not. I would just say call X and it would call X.
Is there a app that doesn't require an internet connection to dial people that will start automatically when i touch my bluetooth headset?

Dragon assistant (There's a thread for it if not available in your country).

I tried dragon and it requires an internet connection to work even in drive mode.

What do you mean by older device? Like not android?
Androids run with Google, which of course uses internet so I dunno if there's an app that would allow it without internet connection. That's like having a AI on your phone.

all of my non-smart phones could do bluetooth dialing without connecting to the internet.
yet my smart phone has to connect to the internet. I don't want to blow my mobile data so i only use it when i have to.
i don't understand how a dumb non-smart phone can do something that a smart phone can't.
i have heard cyberon can do it i just didn't want to pay for an app.

Dunno how much data you have but I personnaly have 1GB and I never use all of it (and I never restrain myself from using the internet). Those voice search use next to nothing so you really don't have to worry about that.

I suppose (but that's only a guess) you would have saved a voice entry for all your contacts on your old phone, and the phone would match your query to one of the voice entries. And on Android, this kind of match is computed by a speech recognition server. That's what I would guess...

Music streaming in remote sim mode

Hi
I'm a proud owner of the Lg g4 and I'm really happy with it. Just one thing is bothering me. Wenn I connect it via Bluetooth with my car it uses the remote sim mode. This works great for phone calls over the car, but I'm not able to stream music at the same time, because the phone hasn't got access to the sim card
Does anybody know a way to use the phone for calls and streaming in the car?

Why do you need acces to the sim for playing music? No need for that. You have to pair car's mediaplayer to the phone. What car you need to connect to?

Maybe this thread will help.

I have a VW T5. the phone connects automatically in the remote sim mode, I suppose that's necessary in order make phone calls over the car system. But, as I said, I can't use the sim card for the phone at the same time for streaming

After the phone connects to the car, look for a menu called "Bluetooth" on Information Cluster. Inside this menu, you will find another one called "Media Player". Go inside and open the third one, called "paired devices". Look for "G4" menu, select "connect" and that's all. I have a VW also, and BT streaming works flawless in my car.
If you still have issues, please tell me the BT module part number (should be under passenger seat) and your head unit version (RCD/RNS 510, etc).

Bluetooth streaming works fine as long as the content is already on the phone what doesn't work is streaming from the Google play cloud, because the phone is on the remote Bluetooth mode. It can't use the Internet because the sim card is used by the car. It sounds way more complicated than it is...

If you need streaming from Internet, you have two choices:
1. You have to buy one of these two modules: 3C8 035 730 D or 3C8 035 730 E. These two modules can make a WiFi hotspot in your car thus you can connect to the Internet using WiFi
2. If your BT module supports HFP protocol, you can change connection mode from premium to handsfree. You will be able to use your phone's data connection, no more rSAP mode (remote SIM mode)
Of course, the best option is the first one, but it involves spending more than one hundred bucks... but it worth

Remote SIM Access Protocol

Hi Everyone,
I have a SM-N976B on 3.
Having a nightmare trying to get the phone to auto connect to my car head unit using rSAP.
The head unit does have the latest software and the phone is on the latest version too.
Tried creating a new pairing from the head unit and the new paring from the phone. Doesn't make any difference as I can tell.
When I get in the car the phone notifies that SIM Access is On then beeps again to say SIM Access is off. This is continuous until I turn off SIM access in the Bluetooth pairing options.
Anyone have any useful tips for trying to resolve this issue?
TIA
