I noticed that Bluetooth was listed as a fix in the new rom. That's actually a problem I've been having. I have a Garmin GPS with Bluetooth that I use when I'm driving (speakerphone). I loved it with my old 8125, but I just got the mogul and speaker volume has been so low with it. Has anybody else experience this problem? What are the thoughts on bluetooth with the new rom for users who have tried it?
I had the same Bluetooth problems on older ROMs, but it works great on the unofficial 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs. I expect it to work as well, if not better on the official version.
Well, I tried it out on my way to work today. It was only my voicemail, but it sounded much better. Hopefully that will be the case when I get a phone call.
Well, when I just got Mogul and bought BT prepped car (never used BT before), I thought BT sucked reaaaly bad, since EVERYONE complained if I called from my car. Now, since unofficial ROMs, I get occasional complain here and there, but it is obvously tolearble to most of people I call. I also reduced volume on BT in my car after upgrade, so I think it should solve the problem.
I think part of it was that I was upgrading from 2.17 (not sure what has come since). But, it does seem pretty good now.
I know there is alot of issues with bluetooth for the TB. I was able to have full A2DP streaming with my DINC in my car but the TB and EVO wont even connect at all. I have a Sony XPLOD MEX-BT3800U. I was just wondering whats going on with the hardware compatibility and if there are any possible ways to create compatibility. What exactly is not compatible? Is it the ROM, KERNAL or RADIO? Hardware or software profiles? If someone could answer how it all works from a development / engineering standpoint that would really ease my mind. Just curious if I should throw down another few hundred on a new radio for my car or if I should just wait for software fixes.
Thanks

Personally , I would wait for a software fix. But sometimes that might not help also. But I have some issue sometime when streaming to my radio bluetooth with a little disorder sound sometimes. Very lite.

I had a similar problem with my factory radio on my Ford Fusion. I resolved my problem by updating firmware on the factory radio (MS Sync) and running the leaked radio update for TB and a stable Rom like Perfect Storm 1.4 and 1.11 batsaver kernel. My issues were resolved, I was having problems with pairing, when it would pair I would lose connection within 1 to 2 min and could not regain. Very fustrating. I attribute most of my issues with OC of TB I was too aggressive running what I thought stable at 1.5 Ghz.

I had some similar issues with my stock TB loosing bluetooth connectivity with my car. I would get in the car, it would connect, then a minute later disconnect. Turns out, I was able to fix it by unpairing, then reparing; and denying permission for the car to download the phonebook from my phone. Something in my contact list was causing the issue.
Weird about the phonebook

I have the Sony MEXBT2700 and it worked great with the tb at first, but then it, the tb, started acting up whenever I would turn the car off. This was one week after launch day for the tb. It would literally cut all sound off on the phone till I restarted, so I ended up calling verizon, then sent me a new phone about two weeks after launch day.
Since then it has been working perfect, sq isnt great, but its better than doing bluetooth from my Macbook pro.
If you've got a Ford with Synch
Just in case you've got a Ford vehicle with Synch, there is seemingly random problem that sounds like this and I posted some info over at Ford Syncmyride site. In a nut shell, simply pull the fuze for the system wait about a minute and then replace. If you're like me and you couldn't find the correct circuit disconnect battery cable.
Seems the system needs to do a "battery pull". Only have experience with the Ford Sync but that's my .02 and I hope it helps.
I have sync in my '08 focus and i've never had issues with any of my phones streaming music or placing/receiving calls.

Me neither, I have a 2010 F-150 and I have had no issues with Sync.

Bluetooth with my TB to my JVC headunit has been rather problematic for me. What I did finally discover was that if I didn't allow for phonebook syncing, all is well. I am currently on Das BAMF 1.6.1 and now have perfect streaming of music and calls as long as I deny that silly phonebook.
Hope that helps.
Hello I am hoping someone can help me find a solution to my constant bluetooth issue. My plantronics voyager pro+ & hd headsets were not connecting and would not re-pair with the phone. They pair and connect to every other device I've tried. I had the phone rooted with the htc version viper rom not supposed to be used outside of htc. I know there was an htc maintenance update version 2.13.651.1 but the teamwin/ venom viper rom I now have which I love has their own ota updates and the latest version of their rom 2.0.2 based on 2.13.651.1 so I must have the update which had the minor bluetooth fix. At this point I don't know what to do. I ama co tractor and rely heavily on using the bluetooth. Anyone that can shed some light on this would be greatly appreciated?
Did you check the viper rom thread yet? My jawbone bluetooth works fine on the stock rom and on stock w/ goodies. I know my plantronics m50 didn't work well on this phone, maybe troubleshoot that too.

Hi thanks I contacted plantronics and we tested both bluetooth headsets on 3 other devices- they paired up fine. This ruled out the headsets especially when the worked fine for several months since I got the phone. No havent checked the thread- am going to look it up now... did you see something there?
TJ
No but it might be rom related, I don't know since I don't use that rom.
Not sure I'm using the correct terminology there, but I've read that the latest OTA update fixes a bluetooth issue. Was hoping it fixes the issues I've seen with random connection dropping between the phone and my bluetooth piece.
I've also read the new update breaks root as well as several people reporting poor battery performance after updating. So, was curious if anyone has just the bluetooth fix in a flashable file?
If you want to experiment, the second post in my kernel thread has a link to a kernel built using the stock Linux Bluetooth drivers instead of the HTC drivers. I would be curious to know if it fixes your or not problems.
Ah, nice. I will definitely look into it.
Do you know what else that OTA update supposedly fixes?
No idea. Waiting for the kernel source to see if anything was fixed there. No way to tell what they changed outside of the kernel.
oh so that was HTC's doing. I bought a cheap audio dongle to connect my phone to my car stereo and it works great, but every now and then the signal drops, so I chalked that up to my cheap Chinese adapter, not the phone.
I have a similar Probem, whenever I want to connect my DNA with the car radio, I always have to enter the code again, which is very annoying, have the 2:04 update on it was also previously with 1.15.605.2, maybe someone has an idea?
I have snooped around for a while in the development part of this forum, but it seems like either A2DP is listed as non working, or it's just not mentioned. Are there any KitKat ROMs with it working? I would like to upgrade my wife's phone to something better than the last official ROM, and I'm very satisfied with KitKat on my own devices, but she uses her phone in her car to play music through the BT enabled stereo, so it needs A2DP. If none are working now, is there a chance to get something that's working with A2DP in the near future?

There is not KitKat ROM with working A2DP. It will be fix but not in the near future.
OK, thanks a lot! Then I won't have to look in vain. Any idea how far that future is?

Hi,
percy wrote in his thread, that he's working on A2DP,wifi direct and other stuff and only problem will remain FM radio. But he also wrote that he's now busy with studies till 10th of april or so. After then he will release new kernel with dual recovery and maybe weekly 5 release ...
OK, then I'll wait a month or so for that. Thanks!

Some, or maybe all, CM KitKat ROMS use Bluez for Bluethooth. At present, bluetooth is working fully on these roms, except music streaming through A2DP. Exactly what you need.
I assume it'll be fixed in next release of Bleuz, which will be version 5.17 (yo can follow this on www.bluez.org). A week after the release of this version from Bluez - we'll most probably have the first KitKat Roms with bluethooth fully operational.

Your only solution but you have to wait some weeks!
Thanks, mate! Thread subscribed. I'm sure my wife can wait a few weeks, especially since I haven't told her about it yet. Much easier to tell her "time to update your phone, honey" than "in a few weeks or months it may be possible to update your phone, honey".

Hahaha you are always welcomed! You did the best thing :good:
@Mastiff
Go to bluez.org
All KitKat roms on this forum use it as their Bluetooth stack. When they list a2dp as working it will work.
Thanks! But according to them, on the 11th of March:
"On the Android side by far the biggest feature addition is full support for A2DP 1.3 and AVRCP 1.5. Several other profiles, such as HFP and GATT have continued receiving a fair amount of patches as well, but they are not considered complete yet."
So that should mean that it's already working and has done so for almost a month. Or do I misunderstand it?
Our plaform is tricky. Is not enought BlueZ support (they work on Nexus devices) we need adapt our platform to BlueZ, because old Sony code is deprecated
OK, thanks. A bit more complicated than Hamza thought, then. Well, I'll probably just have to wait a bit longer.
Any news after 2 months?

Yeah, one month ago I got tired of waiting and bought an Xperia Z1 Compact for my wife... She actually took to the size quite easily, I thought it would be too big for her, but I guess the P had sort of primed her for it. Unlike the the P om it's final stock ROM the Z1 Compact on KitKat is very stable.
