EVO 4G disconnects randomly on BMW iDrive

Hi all,
I have a 2011 335xi w/ iDrive that I paired my Sprint/HTC Evo 4G to (running Android 2.2 w/ latest patches). My phone connects fine and transfers contacts and all but randomly during calls will disconnect and the sound goes back to the phone. In order to get it back working, I have to turn off and on my bluetooth a couple times (on the phone) then go back into the telephone screen, try connecting a couple times and eventually it works. It's so frustrating as this can happen like 3 or 4 times during a one hour drive and seems like more of a distraction to me as the driver than a way to avoid distractions (not so hands free when I am switching on/off bt). Any ideas? Thanks.

Lol, I only mentioned the car model and year because people familiar with BMW would want to know that since the iDrive gets updated all the time. I have a September 2010 build too if anyone wants to know (so fall update is included...guessing the issue isn't on the car's end).

Haha... I know dood. Like I said... just wanted to do that.

yup, all good

Got the same issue here with 2011 328. I've read on some other forums people are having these BT issues with other vehicles and various ROMs. I have not been able to find a solution yet.

I def know I never had wifi on, which seems to be the most common response on that thread. I haven't tried to hard reset yet, no time to reload all my apps and such (although contacts just sync). If you do figure it out, let me know. Things went well after the recent update to the stock rom, but now they are worse than ever...its not even really connecting, and I've tried completely removing and re-pairing the phone, changing the phone name, turning bluetooth audio off and just keeping phone connection, etc, idk what else to do, very frustrating phone.

Did you try to use the phone without ANY of your apps, bone stock? My friend had a similiar problem in an 11' S4 and we finally figured that the problem was with one of his apps, he tried goin stock and it would be fine, but when he restored all his apps using TB it would do the same. The last thing i could think about is that the BT is somehow going in to sleep mode, try having the power plugged in in the car if you haven't done so already.

Hey, I haven't had much time to hard reset my phone and reload things, but that may be my last resort. Do you know by any chance which App was causing the problems for your friend? I tried using the phone plugged in but no luck either.

Bluetooth Re-enabling Issue.

Hey everyone, Im having a sort of an odd bluetooth problem, Im running Gingersnap atm but I noticed it on Juggernaught as well, If i turn my bluetooth on/off 3 or 4 times on say the 5th time I'll have to reboot my entire phone in order to turn it on, its annoying cause i get in and out of my car a bunch and hate just leaving my bluetooth on all the time. Thanks

I experience Bluetooth issues like this frequently also.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

What kernel are you using? I have had this problem with darkside and synergy kernels, but faux's 10m kernel willows multiple disconnects/reconnects with my Motorola s305 bt headphones a without an issue.

I am having the same issues. I did it with multiple kernels. I flashed back to stock and still had it. I even sent my phone in under warranty and now the new one is doing it.

Yes, I still have the same issue after 2 repair attempts by samsung. First attempt, they flashed the firmware, second attempt, they replaced a component. (Never told me which component)
When I try turning on bluetoot, it just seems like it's trying to enable itself, but just hangs. I have to restart the phone several times before it works again.
I have an SGH-T989 factory unlocked and using it with Straight Talk

[Q] wifi and bluetooth not working

Hey my bluetooth and wifi both are not working. I go to wifi in settings click to turn it and it says turning on wifi for a while then the toggle sets back to off and if i try again same thing happens again and again. Exact same thing happens with bluetooth, not to sure when it started because i recently started using mobile data so have not been using wifi alot. Im currently using MIUI.us 2.10.19 v4 | 4.1.2 (JB) | 10/20/12 and was on codefire when it started, have flashed numerous other roms, jelly bean or ICS roms with the exact same thing happening each time for bluetooth and wifi. I tried restoring to a previous back up when it was all working but same thing happens there as well. how can i fix this ? anyone else have this problem ?

Your wiping you data before installation of any ROM right?

yes definitely every time i flash roms. The only reason that comes to mind that might have caused this i dropped this about 4 times last weekend. On the SAME night could it be that i damaged something inside ?

Maybe the two cables that are WiFi and Bluetooth came unplugged or are making contact with each other.

Do you know how i can fix ? which cables would it be ? what are the chances of my phone still working if i open it and try to fix it ? I also noticed the volume buttons don't work. They do sometimes, but rarely so if I am looking at fixing it, might aswell try to fix that up aswell. But that is not major, i just want the wifi and bluetooth to work so im looking at opening it up ?

I don't know how to fix it.

Wifi and Bluetooth

Hi Guys,
I have been having an issue with my S4 mini where if Bluetooth is turned on it will not see any Wifi networks, however if I turn off bluetooth it connects and works right away.
I have tried going back to stock and different kernels but I am getting nothing, and its sending me spare, since I sued bluetooth a lot.
Anyone else experienced it?
I am running stock 4.2.2 at the moment rooted, and have tried all sorts of roms and kernals.

I'm running Proxyuser's Slimrom (JB) and F4ktion 1.3.0 Kernal has no such problem. Maybe try this combination? But I remember no such problem even before I did anything to the phone (ROOT/ROM/Kernel, etc), only the battery drain issue at standby.

Thanks! I'll Give it a go.

Ok, what strange is it seems to only be when I have root.
If I have root enabled, nothing, if I unroot my phone, all works perfect.
EDIT:
Well that's not true any more, running SlimKat now, slimjim gave that same result

I got the ****s and sent it back to repair by Samsung, I got a new phone Back and the problem is gone.

Urgent and Serious issue with audio! HELP needed. please!

Guys, I have this one major issue with audio in my phone and its the rarest of the problems! The whole audio output stops completely. By completely, i mean even the receiver sound. completely dumb! cant hear anything if someone calls me. This has been occurring since a month or so. I am running on Cyanogenmod 11 M8. Even if i restart the phone its stays the same way. And all of sudden, randomly, the audio back again, working properly. when it goes dumb it stays like that for 5 6 hours. it happens quite often. this is throwing me off totally.
Device : Galaxy S3 SGH i747 - At&t
This problem happens:
1) when i am on call, suddenly it goes mute.
2) when the phone is kept idle for more than 3 4 hrs. So every morning its dumb when i wake up.
These are what I've tried and what I've found out:
1) I reverted back to stock 4.3 to check if its the problem with audio hardware. But in stock it worked perfectly and flawlessly. no issues there. SO its definitely got to do with cyanogenmod.
2) I flashed ktoonsez kernel on CM 11 M8, to check if its kernel problem. But its happening again. SO its not the problem with kernel.
3) I recently found out that if I wipe the cache from recovery, audio is back working. SO its definitely something in the cache thats messing with the audio. Some app may be.
this thread can be referred for more details on this issue:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/81373-audio-stops-working-from-time-to-time/
and I dont know what else to do now. Ive tried uninstalling all the apps that access audio. But the problem still persists.
I really really need help fixing this one. PLEASE HELP.

I've had that issue a month or two ago but haven't seen it on the latest ROMs. I'm not sure what causes it but I would suggest you flash another ROM if CM messes up with your sound (or another version of CM).

Hi, Thanks for the response. I personally like CM and the extent of customization it offers. I actually dont mind switching cuz sound is bigger deal. Would you mind suggesting ROMs that are similar or comes closer to CM and also good at the same time? which ROM are you on?

Hey it got fixed in the latest nightly ( cm-11-20140721-NIGHTLY ). I had put it in cyanogenmod forum, I guess they read the issue and fixed it. Audio is perfectly fine now! Feels so great to use cyanogenmod again.
Thank you cyanogenmod!

I have this issue too but it doesn't have to do with the audio disappearing; it's simply gone from the get-go after clean flashing a ROM.
As you've said, stock FW and ROM works fine, but anything custom will just totally break it. Seems to be a very isolated issue with the phone itself, I've searched all over for people with the same problem but could never find anything.

Oh. It used to happen to me once or twice. No audio when I install CM, after it boots the first time. I think you should check the new nightly of 7/23. Looks like its fixed. They've fixed a number of audio issues over the last few nightlies. And I've always preferred CM over any other roms, so I've no idea about why it isn't working on other roms.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may as well give it a try since most everything else I've tried has had the same issue.
edit:
Clean flashed latest CM nightly, sound worked for around 2 minutes, then stopped when I plugged headphones in. Rebooted, got it to work via speakers again but then DSP manager force closed and left me without sound.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, still no dice.
Going to try another clean flash to see if I can get sound to last a while longer.
edit 2: It seems to be screwed completely now, no sound after install + reboot.
