[Q] HTC One M7 Verizon Lollipop Bluetooth Connectivity - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Hi Everyone,
I just updated my HTC Once M7 to Lollipop... Seemed like an awesome idea, I just got a new car that was connecting seamlessly to my phone via bluetooth... Text to voice, Contact transfer from my phone to my car, stream music.. it was all great... until Lollipop -_- ... After I updated I noticed my car was no longer getting the text messages from my phone.... Then I also realized I wasn't able to transfer any contacts from my phone to my car. I tried to wipe the car clean and start fresh. Cleared the cache on the phone, removed the connections etc... Now I can pair my phone to my car, stream music but when I click "Update Contacts from Phone" on my car's stereo, the phone disconnects itself from the car's bluetooth. Not to mention when I try to do the same with the text messages it just times out. The phone did ask for permissions for the car's bluetooth to access these features so I dont understand why it's not working now! All these features were working perfectly fine a week ago with KitKat.... The phone is stock (sadly).

Fixed w/ Restore
I completely restored the phone and everything is back to normal. Something probably got messed up during the installation.

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] Car bluetooth and Desire - Fatal exception

Dear all,
My HTC Desire is now 15 months old, and still works as new. No, better than new since it's rooted and faster.
Coming to the problems:
My car has a bluetooth feature to stream music from the phone, and to take and make calls. Bluetooth music streaming works perfectly, and I can skip songs using the car controls.
I am facing the following issues with the "Phone Connect" feature when I pair the Desire:
After any and every incoming or outgoing call is completed, I get a pop up on the screen which says "Fatal Exception..." and I can only force close from here. When I force close, the signal strength icon shows a cross and all connectivity is lost for sometime, including BT: car says "phone disconnected". After a while the signal strength comes back and BT can be reconnected.
So basically I have to repeat this process everytime I make or answer a call via the car BT feature. Needless to say, it's a PITA.
I am guessing this is a problem to do with the radio or kernel of the phone. Not sure which. Please confirm this, and guide me to a radio or kernel file which may solve this issue.
My second problem has to do with the phonebook feature of the car. It can pull the contacts, the recently dialled numbers, recently received numbers, and missed calls. Only in the Desire it doesn't.
The phonebook feature can only see the contacts in the SIM card.
The recently dialled, received, and missed calls don't work. Numbers only show up on the car list if I have made/answered/missed a call while connected to the car BT.
The only feature that works as it should is redial.
As I am told, all Nokia models work perfectly on the same car model, and since we own a 'smart'phone, not to mention an Android, we should be able to get it to work however we want it to.
Any fixes for this one?
Thanks in advance.
PS. If you want the exact error message thrown by the phone after taking/making a call, I can write it down and get back to you afterwards.
BUMP!
Please help, guys!

[Q] Bluetooth drops in and out

I just picked up a my new Note II yesterday, have done nothing to it except install the latest update. This thing is STOCK. My issue is with the Bluetooth connection in my car. I have a 2009 BMW with IDrive which has the Bluetooth integration built in to it. My HD-2, Sensation, GNexus, original Note all connect very nicely to the Bluetooth but my Note II is struggling. I paired it yesterday on the way home from the AT&T store and it worked fine. When prompted to allow the phone book during my initial pairing I checked the box "Don't ask me again" and clicked "Yes", same thing I've done on all my other phones. This morning however it would continue to drop out. It would connect for 15-20 seconds and I would see the little icon that tells me the phone is transferring the contacts then it would simply drop out. 15 -20 seconds later it would recycle and do the same thing again. When I was looking at the contact list on my car's screen it was showing AT&T address book which I do not use (it was just one contact, "something" AT&T) and in fact froze everything AT&T I could through the settings menu . I then deleted the phone from the car's menu and repaired it to the IDrive but this time I said no to allow the phone book. It was not dropping the connection but was constantly trying to obtain the contact data based on the icon on my car's screen. Then all of sudden I received an alert stating an "SOS Call System Failure", my car has a built in SOS function like Onstar....I deleted the phone again and the warning in my IDrive regarding the SOS failure went away.
I searched the BMW forums and found other people with this problem but these were from the '07-'08 time frames and that fix was software to the car. The software in my car is updated and so is the B/T profiles I also found a thread here regarding a similar issue but there was no resolution. Has anyone else had this experience with the Note II? I know enough to get myself in trouble but not enough to figure this out. Is it possible the Bluetooth in the phone only wants to transmit the AT&T address book vs. the Google contacts?? I guess it could be the software in the car but my other Note, whether running stock or CM 9/10 ran flawlessly with regards to the Bluetooth.
Weird, yesterday it's fine and today not so much. Did the last software update have anything in it that affected the B/T?
Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks.
UPDATE-appears my car cannot handle a Bluetooth profile of 4.0. All my previous phones were no higher than 3.0. Hoping BMW will offer a software update at some point but in the mean time if I go with a custom ROM will they probably keep the Bluetooth profile the same as stock or is that something they change??

Bluetooth pairings "forgotten" with car and Huwawei watch - stock Marshmallow

Bluetooth pairings "forgotten" with car and Huwawei watch - stock Marshmallow
I have an M8 that I recently returned to stock. It's locked but S-OFF, but is otherwise running T-Mobile stock - latest Marshmallow updates. No especially weird programs running either.
I am having ongoing Bluetooth issues. When in my car, the watch and car seem to compete for the connection, with one or both disconnecting or failing to connect in the first place. Additionally, my bluetooth pairings are routinely lost and I'm re-prompted to pair with either/both devices. No particular pattern to either.
I have un-paired, re-paired, cleared cache and reset my watch to factory settings and reset all the bluetooth connections on my car. Still happening. The one thing I have not tried is a factory reset of my phone - I hate having to go through the whole setup process again.
Is this a problem others are having? Is there a fix?

bluetooth pairing issues / delete paired devices

Hey guys,
since I bought my bluetooth headphones (Wearhaus Arc), which are actually pretty cool, I have lots of troubles with them.
When I paired my phone (HTC One M8 running latest official stock unbranded Android 6.0) with the headphones the first time, everything was great.
While using them from day to day I was faced with connection issues. That means, that both my phone and headphones are on, but it takes (almost everytime) a couple of tries to connect them. Even if I tap in the saved devices on the headphone, the connect could not be established. Turning off and on the headphones and bluetooth on my phone was the only way to fix it.
If I finally had a connection, everything was fine. In a few very rare cases, the connection worked at the first go.
Some weeks ago, a new firmware for the headphones was released, so I wanted to install them. During the update process, the updater (Android app) said, that the verifcation failed and the firmware cound no be updated. Same behaviour with the Windows 10 app. Even with another phone it did not work. Seems like, something is wrong with the headphones.
So I contacted the support again (first time they gave me the advice to use the Windows 10 app to update firmware) and told me, that I have to return it for repair. The gave me a return label etc. and I sent it back.
After waiting a few weeks I finally got it back. With zest I turned them on, but the joy was marred, because my phone did not recognize them.
Before sending them back, I unpaired the headphones in order to start over with the new ones. Maybe this was the mistake...
I did some pairing testing with other phones (HTC Sensation, BlackBerry Q10, HTC HD2), which found the headphones immediately and worked fine. So my guess is, that only my M8 has a problem with them.
Pairing, unpairing and "repairing" (pairing again) between my M8 and the other mentioned phones worked well, so there cannot be an general bluetooth issue.
After doing a factory reset on my M8 I'm a step futher, because now the phone sees the headphones (somethimes), but it isn't able to establish a connection. In case I see it, I tap on the available devices, the phone tries to connect, but a second later I get the message: "unable to pair. Make sure your devices are on and discoverable, and then try pairing again". Rebooting the phone does not work. I also cleared the data and cache of the bluetooth share app and performed a network reset like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-bluetooth-wont-android-6-0-t3340279
My question to guys is, what can I do, to get the headphones to work?
Is it possible, that on the phone is still a piece of information left about the former connection, which refuses any new connection?
Is there a file on the phone, which stores the bluetooth connections? if yes, maybe deleting or editing the file could help?
Thank you in advance!

Anyone an idea?
