Hi!
I bought a HBH-300 for my PDA2k.
I tried the day it arrived, it worked, I was happy with my luck, and did not use for a few days...
When I picked it up again this week-end something strange happened... I can discover and pair the headset, but once the pairing process is over... I can't connect to the headset... I tried several times... I have soft reset... nothing!
The headset works well, I have tried it with a Z1010.
I am using BT version 1.0.0 Build 3500. I have updated to iMate latest ROM but I am afraid that by using Sprite-back option for upgrade I kept an older ROM...
I've WiFi in the house.
What is my problem? How can i fix it?
Chris
Have you tried reseting the pairing on the headset by holding down the volume up and volume down for 5 seconds.
Are you running Voice Command 1.5, I have seen other apps interfere with headeset behavior and it is random.
You may have to hard reset to get to the bottom of the problem.

Yes, several time... no news...

No...
You may have to hard reset to get to the bottom of the problem.
Ok, I imagined it... Before I do it: am I using the right bluetooth stack?
Thanks,
Chris
You could try applying the patch for 3500 or upgrading to 3900.
Patch :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Bl...grades/BroadcomCorp_BTUpdatefor1.0.0.3500.cab
Upgrade :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Bl...etooth Upgrades/BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab
If that doesn't work you can always downgrade back to 3500 :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Bl...etooth Upgrades/BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3500.cab
Thank you... "how to"?
Thanks!!!
I would try to path, upgrade...
Just a quick question:
-How to patch?
-How to upgrade?
I am familiar with Cab files installations for programs... not with this BT things...
Do I have to unistall the current version? To unlock the phone? To hardreset?
Thanks,
Chris
No. None of the above.
All you are doing is installing new version of the BT Stack.
1) get the cab file
2) copy it to your pocketpc
3) on the ppc open file explorer and click on the cab file to install it
4) soft reset
5) on Today Screen click opn BTTray Icon and select settings
6) click on about tab
7) click on Advanced button
This tells you the version of all the BT modules you are running.
Same process for install, patch, upgrade, downgrade etc etc
3900 update and Jabra
In case anyone is wondering this update to 3900 does not clear the noise issue with the Jabra 250 Headset.
Thank you!
It worked after the downgrade...
Jabra
I have downgraded back to 3500 on the bluetooth stack and the Jabra 250 still gets an awful lot of noise unless you hold the m2000 just about next 2 it. A little bit of a waste of time.
But i have noticed if the pda is to the side of the Jabra the noise level drops.

I haven't heard of such a fix before. Does it work? I went to the HTC site and could not find it. I searched this whole site and could not find it. Does anyone have a copy please.

From the name of the CAB and from this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1750060 it appears that this is for the Kaiser. Can anyone confirm that this works for the Titan/Mogul? If so, this might be the Holy Grail to get Bluetooth working on my PPC-6800.
Has anyone tried this, and can confirm or deny if this fixes any Bluetooth issues on their Titan/Mogul?
what bluetooth issues are we talking about now (since 2.17 came out, my BT has been perfect)?

I haven't had my Mogul that long, but with the DCD 1.6.10 kitchen and either my Blueant Z9 or my Plantronics 510, I sometimes lose my BT connection if I have my headset in my right ear and the phone on my left hip or even in my left inside jacket pocket.
With MSVC 1.6, about half the time I get asked to repeat my command, but it never accepts the repeated command. I think this is the same problem as VC confirmation, which is known not to work on the Mogul.
When VC does understand my command, it takes 5-10 seconds before it repeats it back and acts on it, and most times the voice is very low volume and scratchy.
To JimSmith94,
FYI...
Bluetooth radio waves do not travel through water and since the human body comprises of 70% water, you may lose signal if your BT headset and phone are located on opposing sides of your body.
I wear mine on the same side and never lose BT signal...

Yes, I am aware of how Bluetooth works. The point I was trying to make, but apparently didn't, is that I had none of these issues with MSVC 1.6 and my PPC-6700. It seems that Bluetooth in general and MSVC specifically don't work nearly as well on my Mogul as they did on my Apache.
If no one else has these issues with the Mogul, could this be a kitchen issue, or a hardware problem that I need to talk to Sprint about, and see about swapping out my phone?

The BT drivers on the titan do not work as it should and M$VC 1.6 does not work with WM6 as it should either, if you search around you will find this to be true from day one.
I've had trouble getting BT to work since I flashed my phone from stock. I've got DCD 3.2.5 (started with 3.2.3), radio 3.42.30 (also tried 3.42.02) and SPL 2.47 from No2Chem. I've done hard resets and tested clean.
The symptoms have been consistently as follows:
Phone boots and BT light blinks. Comm manager shows it's active.
Bluetooth settings mode tab starts off unchecked.
Searching for BT devices takes a while then reports "Problem with Bluetooth hardware."
Starting BT from comm manager or check box in bluetooth settings mode tab takes a while and fails with no response.
BT worked fine before any flashing. I've found the following thread and seems similar but it's from a much older release. Any thoughts? Everything else is running really well including WiFi, GPS, data network, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...371314&page=32
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Am I the only one having this problem?
Please
Anyone? Isn't there someone else out there with this problem?
im pretty sure that the hardware it's referring to is your headset, and not your phone. try pairing your headset with another phone or a game console or something. reflash 3.2.5 and use radio 3.42.50. if your phone pairs with something else, try pairing it to your 6800 again.

Just trying to turn bt on causes these troubles. I haven't even tried pairing yet. Everything's been flashed and reflashed. Hardware reset as well... Only thing I haven't tried is to go back to factory.
Hi @ all,
since a few days i am a proudly HTC Hero owner. Its quite an amazing phone with many features and a steady growing Market.
At the weekend i tried to couple my Hero with my bluetooth handsfree set installed in my car. But what i recognized wasn't so much pleasing: The Hero didn't display the handsfree set in the list of available bluetooth devices.
Before i got the Hero i had a HTC TyTN II aka Kaiser and it worked well with the handsfree set.
Perhaps anybody else have some similar trouble or experience with this and maybe a solution, fortunately. It would be great to keep usage of my handsfree set furthermore.
Thank you and best regards
On handsfree there are some buttons right ? You need to press them in a combination so the handsfree can be detected by your Hero. Just search on the handsfree guide or internet. I cannot help you because I don't have it and don't know the button combination. When you find it go to settings and turn on Bluetooth on your phone. Just search it and connect to it
Hi omokas,
yes, you are right.. but i've done this.
The users guide says you have to press the main button for 1 second. After that you will get a feedback sound and the led gets flashing... so far so good.. everything is fine but the Hero doesn't recognize.
Hopefully there are no different bluetooth protocols or whatever the devices can't communicate.
Have you tried an application from Market ? It may to the job
But if not then your handsfree must be an older version that your Hero can't recognise. Before buying a new one make sure your phone works with other handsfrees.
Have you tried an application from Market ? It may to the job

No, i haven't tried yet. Can you recommend one?
At the moment i'm not able to try an other handsfree. But i've just seen the handsfree is able to store seven pairings... maybe there is the problem.
So i'm going to delete all pairings and give a next try.
Thanks
Yes try that. You could try the application "Bluetooth+Headphones".
Sorry if I am not able to help further but I don't use handsfree because I am 13 and I don't know how to drive.
No Problem... I am appreciate for any Help!
Did you get any results yet? E.g. did the removal of the other pairings work? Or the app from the market?
I'm quite interested in this since I'm still looking into getting the CK-100 build in my car
I am planning on getting that carkit wired up outside of the car, so I can at least give it a try and see if it wants to work. But don't have that much time to give it a try yet, end of next week perhaps...
I have a CK-7W and it works with my Hero (official orange ROM).
It was a bit of a nightmare to get paired in the 1st place, the hero failed to find it but I kept trying and it eventually found it. I think I might have reset the hands free though (pull the power for a few minutes).
The device usually pairs pretty fast, sometimes it takes a min or two but not often.
My only gripes are :
1: some times it doesn't send the audio to the speaker keeping it on phone requiring you to use a menu option to do so.
2: The ring tone isn't the one set on the phone but a generic ringer.
3: Occasionally the phone doesn't disconnect properly when the other end hangs up requiring you to do so manually.
I have a CK-15W car kit
and its fully supported
it even downloads the phonebook very well
ck7w and hero
My hero worked first time! To pair you need to leave ignition off and hold the button in until it beeps, not just a short push as that just turns the car kit on. Once its beeped search for it and then pair using code. As yet I have had none of the problems mentioned here. I hope this helps
I have the same phone (Android 1.5 stock ROM) and the same Nokia CK-7W handsfree set.
For me this works fine. Didn't have to press the button on the handsfree set. Just searched for BT devices and paired.
I've been searching and searching with no answers. Every thread on BT connection issues die off unsolved.
Well, hopefully this thread doesn't end that way.
I have a Jabra Cruiser 2 and early on it was the only thing I had paired. Press the connect button on the Jabra and my phone would connect right up with no user intervention. Later I flashed a couple other roms and found this auto connect stopped working. I don't think its worked since UnNamed 1.3 but not exactly sure. I also tried flashing different modems for a while but can't say if that matches up with this failing to work.
Does the modem have anything to do with BT?
Anyway, I've tried flashing ICScrewed 2.0.1 from scratch with a complete wipe of everything and it still doesn't work. I've flashed Entropy's last few DD's in a row and those didn't help either.
When Jabra is powered on and ready to connect my phone sits there saying "Paired" but doesn't try to connect on its own. I press the Jabra selection in BT Settings and it then changes to "Connected" and I can stream music through it. Even at this point I can't use the Jabra for telephone calls. I've made sure the options for music and telephone are checked under the Jabra settings.
...and yes I've deleted the BT pairing and paired from scratch. I did restore BT pairing once from Titanium but that was several roms and wipes ago. So unless it saves information to a folder, there shouldn't be any remnants.
Is there a folder somewhere that holds BT settings that can be wiped? Should I flash a new modem? Any ideas at all would be helpful at this point.
Nobody has problems with their BT? There has to be a way of clearing the BT settings from everywhere and pairing from scratch beyond the obvious.
Guess I set this thread up for failure by saying, I hope this doesn't die like every other BT thread.
...Maybe someday the BT problems of the I777 world will be solved.
Have you tried pairing your phone with any other BT device other than your Jabra Cruiser?
Have you tried going back to the same ROM (stock or otherwise) that used to work with your Cruiser?
That should narrow down the causes of your problem.
I use Jawbone headset and ever since I've started using it, I need to click it once to connect with my phone (I have set to turn off bluetooth automatically after every call.). But I don't have any problem with that.

I too have same problem!!
Whats wrong with samsung!!, sometime Wifi problem and sometime bluetooth.:silly::silly:
earlier I was on 4.1.2 and it was working good with my jabra clipper bluetooth headset, after updating to 4.4.2 it sucks!.
according to my observation,
The OS is trying to save battery by limiting the bluetooth signal strength!, and the same problem with wifi also.:silly:
Looking for a workaround. If i find any will post for sure.
I have the same issue with my Note 2 after update to 4.4.2..
It seems to be a distance problem with my headset, every distance more than 50 cm creates
sound break up´s .. In my car the phone has a fixed place, it happens too, but not this much.
Maybe it is caused by a lower power managment for BT after update ?!
Found some others having the same issue e.g. here

Hi
and have the same problem with the bluetooth, the phone in my pocket, Samsung headphones on the head and lose the music signal, conclusion .... android version
Before to upgrade I had 4.3 and works very well and now I upgraded to 4.4.2 my Note 2 with Phantom_V7.0 and work awesome but has a minus....... the bluetooth signal gets lost and it's not about the power,for ex i have battery with 4200 mAh
I will continue to keep looking this problem and I will return
There is no way to get better connection. The only way is using a 4.3 ROM
Seems like the problem is solved.
Hey guys!
It seems to me I’ve found the solution!
But firstly, a few words about the problems I’ve got…
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and, when I decided to replace my old Plantronics Discovery 975 with their Voyager Edge, it had installed Android 4.3.
Both events, start using the new Bluetooth devise and upgrading to KitKat (4.4.2) occurred almost simultaneously, so it was pretty difficult to recognize what was the source of the problems that I run into – hardware/firmware issues of Voyager Edge or KitKat’s quirks. The problems were the following:
- Poor Bluetooth connection that resulted in distorted sound (not always, but often) thru the headset.
- Regularly losing the ability to use various Edge’s features, such as calling back to the last number, checking the battery status, recognizing who's calling, etc.
- Note’s battery drained badly – instead of 50-60% left at the end of the day, I got 10%...
I spoke several times with Plantronics support, but they ended advising me to replace the headset. I have neither found the specific solution in the internet and it was even reported that the factory reset would hardly help. So, that was almost the dead-end. But there was one pretty weird solution that helped to some people – deleting the duplicates in the phone’s contact list. But, since I had NO duplicates, it didn’t seem to be helpful. But then, I noticed one very strange detail – during the moments when Edge worked properly it correctly pronounced the names from my phone book, even tho some of them were quite unusual for English speaking "robot". All of them, but one – my mother’s record, which was a simple “Mom”, but when she called me, the Edge’s notification was definitely not “calling from mom”…
So, I just renamed “mom” to “mother”!
Guys, can you believe that, but ALL the problems (both phone’s and headset’s) have just gone! I’ve been using it for almost a week already and it’s OK. So, you may check your contact list, whether it sounds correctly.
Well, one issue left – weird/funny bug of the Edge’s firmware – start playing music when you take it off the cradle. (2 latest firmware updates didn’t cure that…). I just long press the voice button on the Edge to pause it. Not a big deal, to be honest.
Oh, just one last note – since Voyager Edge cannot be rebooted you can do the following if/when you neither hear the music (!), nor the report that the headset is connected when you take it off the cradle. Just long press the Call button on the headset (in my case it runs Note’s S-voice) and then everything works just fine. (Checked twice.)
Hope that this will help you too.
Cheers,
Max
Hi Max,
nice story, but I can't belive that this entry or change of entry will make the BT signal better.

Hi Harvey,
Absolutely the same reaction was mine, when I read the comment by dawolverune (see page 1 of this thread). How deleting duplicate contacts might help…
Well, if assume that I tell the truth (and I actually do! ), then the solution may be explained in 2 ways: a) logical – I’ve been hammering with all this stuff for almost a week and nothing helped until I renamed that single contact and then, it just start working and b) technical – since Voyager Edge pronounced the wrong name it means that it took it from somewhere, but definitely from the wrong place and this might require extra “efforts” from the Bluetooth receiver/transmitter, etc. This indeed may result in abnormal behavior of the devise and “eating” the battery. If re-phrase the title of S. Coppola’s movie – here we had “Lost in Bluetooth” case.
Cheers,
Max

SOLUTION OF BLUETOOTH DROPPING after 4.4.2 update
Yo !
I found the solution. No one has to downgrade Note 2 (N7100) to Jelly-bean in order to fix the Bluetooth range and WiFi dropping issue.
The fault is with the latest update from Samsung itself, May be it is a tactic to make people shift to the newer phones.(who knows) !
Anyway the solution to this problem is to Flash it with Odin it a previous release of 4.4.2.
In my case which is from the INU (India) region the release of August that is 29.08.2014 is a faulty update.
So i downloaded the older one and flashed it.. then everything worked perfectly as if the phone was new
Here is how to do it:- [BACKUP YOUR PHONE WITH KIES 3]
1. Check your version from *#1234#, Compare the version with Near August version of your Region. If it is same you better change it to get a way better performance.
2. Look up the earlier ROM version released from samsung-updated .com , http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100&details=Galaxy_Note_2__International , I personally flashed it with the first version of Kit-Kat that came for note 2 in INU region. on the 8th April (08.04.2014).
3. Download ODIN http://www.mediafire.com/download/mbvtjub21ehsxrl/Note+2+Odin.zip
4. Install Samsung USB drivers http://www.mediafire.com/download/9qaqkld45387lzi/Skyrocket_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip
[IF THE LINKS DON'T WORK then GOOGLE THEM AND INSTALL]
5. Power off your Samsung Note 2.
6. Hold Volume Down, Power, and Home Buttons at the same time. You will enter the ODIN DOWNLOAD MODE on your phone.
7. Press Volume up to Continue. It will Show "Downloading" "do not power off"
8. Connect your device to the PC where you have put ODIN and the md5 file (Firmware you want to flash with)
9. It will show connected to your device name on the top left of ODIN which means that it recognizes your device.
Click on PDA and select the firmware that u downloaded to flash Note 2 with.
It will lag for a few seconds but let it take its time.
When it is done. [Refer Image attached]
10. Press Start [It will take around 5 minutes, 3 minutes give or take]
11. It will Automatically Reboot your phone. Do not disconnect the USB cable.
After the boot is Complete ODIN will show a PASS on the left Side. Which means that the Flashing Process has been a Success.
If it shows fail then Repeat the process from STEP 6 all the way till STEP 11.
{ RECOVERY STEPS:- this will wipe all your data}
[Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then disconnect your Note 2 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside AFTER 5 seconds, press Volume up, Home key and Power key at the same time, When the Logo comes then Leave the Power button but keep pressing the other 2. Wait for it to show MANUAL MODE. Select Wide Data and Factory reset with Volume down and press power to continue, Then again wipe Cache.
Select Reboot . Now it should work perfectly.
CAUTION :- DO THIS AT UR OWN RISK.
Is this problem appears in official update? Want to update, but dont want any probs)
Yes the problem is with the official update. Better not update it till there is another update of it available.
I'm thinking this might have to do with Samsung dropping the Bluetooth version from 4.0 back to 2.0. I have no idea why they would do that but I've been wondering why my phone listed version 2.0 when the specs for this phone always said version 4.0. As you can see my debug screen shows it as version 2 and not 4.0. My Edge shows 4.0 on that same screen. I can't recall if older builds for the Note 2 had 4.0 listed but I believe they did and kitkat lowered it. Guess that's their trick to get people to upgrade, break things on our phones quietly...
