Hey Phone connects fine to my car, but it doesnt seem to auto connect? I have to go into settings and press connect everytime despite telling it to auto connect. How do you fix this?
Id guess its because the device isnt discoverable? im not too sure
I've also a mk7 2010 fiesta with the usb bluetooth kit. Almost always it works automatically, assuming I've bluetooth on (but not discoverable) - give it sometimes up to 30s and the bluetooth icon illuminates on the Fiesta's HUD. Only once had issues with it forgetting and needing repairing.
can anyone tell me if I can update the Bluetooth in my HTC Desire or have more profiles. the phone is branded o2 but can be rooted. I dont want to change anything else in the ROM just make the bluetooth connect automaticaly & reliably to the car.
There are newer software builds available but have no mention of updating bluetooth.
Ther are no OTA updates available.
Software Number is 2.14.207.1
Andriod 2.2
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Can't you just pair the 2 devices together? I personally don't use Bluetooth so no idea on that aspect. Also, the software is so out of date because o2 cba to release and update. There are major updates since yours. It might be worth considering to root so then you can flash a newer ROM, or infact, you don't need to root and just use an RUU. With the newest software. No need to root it then and less chance of it mess up.
Hope this helps
I still have some strangeness with Bluetooth. From what I read there are some updates in Honeycomb and maybe gingerbread. But I don't have a feeling what you are looking for is in FroYo

Well I have a Kenwood Headunit with Bluetooth and the connection to that using stock Froyo and LeeDroid showed some interesting results. Gaps in the phonebook for instance. However, putting a 2.3 ROM (Ginger Villain) sorted that out, its fine now.
Bluetooth depends on the other device too.
What exactly is the problem you are having?
What Car do you have?
What Bluetooth system is installed (is it standard)?
I have used my desire in a number of cars (Vauxhall, Ford, BMW) without any isses with pairing, using the Phonebook,etc. is a different matter.
Personally, I have just received a new BMW 528i, and it doesn't get on well with my Desire at all.
It pairs OK and can use both the phone and music, but when I leave and return to the car, it just refuses to auto-connect again, and I have to go through the pairing procedure again.
Oh, except one - the time I went back to the garage to 'complain' about it and ask for advice, when it worked perfectly. Until I got home again!
Have experimented with my old Nokia N85, and that works fine, too. So it's either the Desire or an incompatibility between it and the car.
Oh, my Desire is running MCR r9 (FroYo) at the moment. Are there known issues with this? Info on any Bluetooth updates I could apply would be gratefully received!
i have to enter my pairing code every time i connect my bt headset - i took this to be a quirk for the moment - hoping its fixed in 2.2.2/2.3.x etc.

Im having this same problem also with a Pioneer Head Unit in my car.
Bluetooth has always been troublesome as it doesn't auto connect. It will connect if I either manually click on "Pioneer Head Unit" or turn Bluetooth off and on (which I automate with tasker).
The pin thing is new and happens with all roms I have tried except LeeDroid, (which I prefer not to use as I don't like sense much). Leedroid still has the auto connect problem.

Some good hints there - thanks!
I can connect far more reliably if I initiate the connection from the phone than from the car.
Likewise, if BT is switched off on the phone and then turned on after the car is on, then it sometimes works, too. Certainly don't need to re-pair anywhere near as often.
Can I ask how you use Tasker to automate the BT switching? I've not used that (I use Setting Profiles instead which I understand does roughly the same thing), so am curious what kind of rule you have that's useful for this.
Cheers.

I use the following rules:
On wifi connection turn off bluetooth
On wifi disconnection wait 30 seconds and turn bluetooth on.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected turn bluetooth off and on every 5 minutes.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected and incoming call turn bluetooth off and on.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected when display switched on turn bluetooth off and on.
The battery drain hasn't been a problem, if I go away or won't be using my car for a while I disable tasker. Of course this doesn't help when it keeps asking for the pin.

Ah, cunning! Of course...toggle it when it's not already connected. Prifile Settings doesn't seem to let me toggle things like BT directly, although I could probably do so by setting some appropriate profiles.
I'll have to experiment...or just buy Tasker, instead!

True, but so far in my case, I've only had that when I've tried to initiate connection from the car. Hopefully your trick will mean I don't need to do that so often.
Anyone found a gingerbread rom (or any rom!) with improved Bluetooth?
I have found the bluetooth to be terrible on the desire. I have got about 3 devices that my phone just refuses to pair with.
Currently I am trying to get it to connect with an Elm 327 Obd scanner. No luck, it asks for a pin, then I enter the pin, but it immediately rejects it.
I have tried oxygen rom, leedroid, stock froyo, everything...
I also have a parrot hands free kit that does the same thing, asks for pin, then does nothing...
Something makes me think it might be the radio or something. Except that my phone DOES connect with my scala motorbike helmet... So frustrating

I'm using Mildwild 5.0 as daily ROM. I noticed that even though bluetooth is on, the phone does not connect to the remote audio device.
The pairing process is successful, however the connection is not automatic.
I need to manually connect the phone to the device using the Wireless settings menu.
Did anybody notice the same behavior?

I had used this ROM for couple days and I don't have this issue. Maybe try with MV 14.

I had a similar problem with this ROM and my car's audio/phone system. I suspect the problem was on the side of my car's bluetooth, because after erasing the link on car's side, I was able to setup it again, successfully.

I'm still experiencing the same issue with MW 14.
My car kit is most probably a BT 1.1 device.
Here's the relevant logcat information
Code:
E/BluetoothEventLoop.cpp(167): event_filter: Received signal org.bluez.Device:PropertyChanged from /org/bluez/1081/hci0/dev_00_14_09_13_51_33
Hello, I have some problems with the bluetooth connection to my Seat Leon (2016). Pairing worked fine but once I return to my car only the A2DP profile gets connected. In the car menu media control is working correctly but the phone part is shown as disconnected. The bluetooth connection state in the phone settings shows "connected (no phone)" then.
To fix this I have to manually disconnect and reconnect bluetooth on the phone - afterwards everything is working as expected. This is very annoying though and I had no such issues with my previous Nexus 6P (stock 8.1).
Any suggestions? If there is no solution I try to fix this with tasker, however I'd clearly prefer a "native" solution.
Thanks in advance.
Seems like it's working with the app Bluetooth Auto Connect, will test it more intensively in the next days. But I'm still wondering why it's not working out of the box...
Helo.
I have chinese android navigation mcwauto 8001 for Audi Q5 8R.
My issue is lack of bluetooth connection when I am using Zlink app.
I am able to connect phone with naviagation via bluetooth, but when I establish android auto connection using USB port the bluetooth connection is lost.
Because of that I am not able to make a call using android navigation/zlink. The call is make by phone speaker instead of bluetooth (android navigation).
What is more I tried several times to force bluetooth connection with my phone when I am using wired android auto, but even I am able to connect bluetooth the connection is lost every time I am trying to call.
When I call I have the message "you are not connected with bluetooth"
My zlink app is 3.9.31 - according to my navigation this is the current version of zlink. I found few newest upgrades but I am not able to install it. Few of them stop installing in about 80%, the rest even installed properly not working, the app just stop responding, and the hard reset are required.
Does any of you know solution for my problem?
The red android auto icon (two triangles) on my navigation are showing and disappearing constantly, does anyone of you know what this is mean?
