[Q] Bluetooth Upgared / Fix

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 Also, the software is so out of date because o2 cba to release and update.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

Same here. I'm running latest Malaysk ROM (Jan 2016) on AN RK3188 1024X600 JOYING (JOYOUS) heading. WiFi was ok for bench testing but it will connect with full bars then drop after a short time (30s-3min). Not sure how to fix it because for a week it was fine... Won't connect to home wifi (in the house beside my computer) or my iPhone 5 hotspot 5cm from unit. Anyone have some ideas?

On my GA2114 WIFI sometimes wifi doesnt turn on at all
relevant ??

so we need real help. please hear some one here. thank you.

Have the same issue. Problem started after updating to FUSE technology on Malaysk ROM. WIFI drops connection after few minutes of using. Not sure if it can be fixed by ourself. It should be reported to Malaysk.

On Malaysk ROM 02-07-16 (version 2) on RK3188 800x480 HZC. Had the drop out issue on the stock android 4.4.4 but also on Malaysk ROM - very, very weird indeed... Would nive to have it fixed.

Hi mas618, did you get an solution. Got the same "wifi drop issue" with stock ram and also with malaysk rom.

Same to me. Any fix available?

Wifi corrected
Hi
Finally i found problem. Thank me if it is useful.
Problem is not software problem. It is just harware problem
I just take out unit from car. Opened 2 screws top of dvd and removed metal lid.
Wifi cable has 2 wire in 1 wire. Middle is the + outside wire is ground. So both is soldered very badly to signal point. I was able to solder ground side to ground but i just changed wifi antenna with wire from laptop antenna.
You can just solder it. Or you can chane it.
In first picture you can see very bad solder.
In second picture you can see new antenna with wire soldered.
You can solder outside wire any place of ground.
My wifi is now very good works. Not drop anymore. And bluetooth audio is not drops too.
I saw the cpu is not have any cooler. The last pictures show cooler is planted to rk3066

Car Bluetooth issues (Mazda)

My Pixel XL is having a hard time connecting to my car's Bluetooth (Mazda 3). I had no problem pairing, but connecting seems to be hit or miss. Once it connects, things seem to work fine. Any advice?

My advice is get used to it. Not being mean saying that, its just that Android bluetooth has been hit or miss for a long long time now. Some will work well with some devices and some will not. And it will change every once in awhile after an update.
Toss a Bluetooth toggle on your home screen

If you're not on the latest security update, I'd suggest that you install it. Older GM vehicles had an issue connecting to BlueTooth. It was resolved with the December 7.1.1 update.

Yes, I am currently on 7.1.1.

Is there an official Google PixelXL forum where I can voice my concerns so that Google/Pixel people come in contact with my grievances in a more direct manner?
Thank you!

I think I've noticed a pattern that might be relevant for this issue: After rebooting, connection happens pretty much instantly. It gets gradually slower everytime i connect afterwards, until the A2DP profile stops connecting altogether, after the 4rd or 5th connection attempt. Rebooting the Pixel resets this cycle.
Interestingly, these connection issues happen only with my Mazda car. No other BT devices have problems connecting to the PixelXL, which makes me think that this might be a Mazda issue rather than a Pixel issue. But then again, I had no such problems when connecting my Mazda to my Galaxy S6. Not sure what to think.

Question Poco F3 Not connecting to my car

I am new to Poco. This is my second post. I have got Poco F3 5G, MIUI 12.5.1.
My car is Kia Stonic and it is approximately 3.5 years old.
By Bluetooth, I paired my Poco with my car without any problem. It even downloaded my contacts too.
But it just WILL NOT connect to my car when I turn the engine on.
So far I reset my car Bluetooth system, unpaired then re-paired on my telephone. It still will not connect to the car.
My old Moto G7 plus connects absolutely fine.
Hopefully you guys might have few suggestions.
Thank you.

have you tried searching in settings for android auto, then tinkering with those settings?

oh, i was assuming you have an android auto enabled car... do you?
Failing that, not ideal, but you could try an auto connect app...
see here

Hello reg66, before answer you, I wanted to wait until the software update of my car done.
Unfortunately it didn't help.
The only way my POCO F3 5G connects to the car by USB cable via Android Auto. I suppose it is OK to connect by cable but every short journey I make I have to use this cable....very inconvenient.
It will be connected to my car even if I take the cable out until I turn the engine off.
As you have suggested I have tinkered with the settings of Android Auto but my efforts were to no avail.
On the other hand my old phone Moto G7 plus connects to the car as soon as I turn the engine on....Via Bluetooth.
So I suppose the culprit is my new phone.....Thank you.

What about using one of those auto connect apps I linked to.... So that when you're car is detected it auto connects and launches android auto...

Ohh yes, you have just reminded me....Any particular one you may like to recommend?

i have a sonata 2018 and i had the same problem when i tried to connect my tablet Huawei tab 10.1
any way i had to go inside the care screen setting and just randomly clicked something in my Bluetooth setting and it worked
in the link you will a way get inside the car setting and look for Bluetooth stuff
sorry for my bad english i hope i helped you

for just auto connect (let us know if your android auto launches successfully when connected) this one looks to have good reviews....
but i had a thought.... have you reached the maximum allowed registered devices in your Kia? Try deleting one/some of the connected devices in your Kia's bluetooth settings, that may then allow auto pairing of new devices

Thank you Reg. I'll have a look at that link.
I had already deleted the other devices anyway.
