Hi Guys,
I'm also a proud owner of the HTC HD2, but I've got 2 problems with it.
The first:
I use the BlueTooth connectivity to connect to my hands-free set (In car hands free set on the Alfa MiTo which is also Windows Mobile powered). Now here's the problem. Situation:
I go to work, turn on my BlueTooth, get in the car and it connects fine. When I'm at work I turn BlueTooth off (to save battery power). At the end of the day, when I'm going back home, I perform the exact same routine, but this time when I'm trying to enable BlueTooth the HD2 crashes. It freezes all together. Only the hardware buttons continue to work, except, the long-hold on the ON/OFF-button to turn off the device doesn't work. Now I think you all agree that this is pretty anoying, cause I have to remove the battery to reset the HD2.
Second:
I use my HD2 as my wakeup alarm in the morning. Because I'm a deep sleeper I set 2 alarms on the device, just to make sure ;-) Often I'm awake on the first alarm and I switch the second one Off using the sense interface and pressing the 'On - Off' slider in the Alarms menu. Guess what? The second alarm still rings at the time it was orginally set!
Does anyone recognise these problems and/or do you have any advise on how to solve these problems?
[Device specs]
Radio Rom: 2.04.50.22_2
ROM: 1.43.404.1 (70124) NLD (26 october 2009)
Manila: 2.5.19202525.0
I'm having the same problem with the alarm, don't know a solution but im looking for a free alternative app.
I am having a problem with the alarm as well. Also my alarm is now gives the alarm of an calender appointment. I tried changing the sound in both the HTC sense and windows mobile configuration screen. The configuration goes well but when testing, it still only gives the appoinment sound (2 pings). Has anyone encountered this mismatch issue and know how solve it?
I have the problem to turn on the bluetooth also. After I click the button to on the bluetooth, the bluetooth bar dimmed and hang up the hold Comm Manager. A few minutes later, it said "can't turn on bluetooth". It doesn't happen when I turn on the bluetooth right after I switch on my HD2.

I have the exact same problem.
other problems with bluetooth
My Elf, Hermes all work fine with my Cars built in hands free (BMW6 Series) however the new HD2 connects fine...but the audio quality is crap to the point of having to use the headset shipped with the device.
Other problems....VOLUME CONTROL...or the lack of it. HAd to reset my phone just to be able to use the side switch within HTC music player and on speaker phone...can't turn the volume down.
same for me
having the same bluetooth problems, comm manager hangs when trying to re-enable bt. find the alarm pretty naff. need to get a proper alarm program, any suggestions?
Same BT issues here, plus phone drops calls when connected to car's built-in BT. Also unable to use phone as a modem using BT connection to my laptop - but works fine when connected via usb cable.
Alarm selected sound also not playing, but getting just the 2 pings no matter what sound I choose. Hope HTC is aware of these problems and addressing them with Rom update soon.

G-Alarm is a very nice program. Only downside is, you must buy it.
I mailed HTC, but those ******* at HTC support center just give you a basic nonsence answer. The BT issue is a problem of my car and not the phone (according to them). The alarm-issue they don't reply on.
However I did found a workaround for the BT-re-enable issue. Turn of the BT, then wait for about 5 seconds before you re-enable the BT. This should work. I think the problem is, that the slider is already at the "off" point, but in fact the the connections with BT are still being terminated.
The rest of the issue with BT I gave up. I reported a complaint to HTC, but not much change I ever here anything of that. Just wait until they finally bring out that 1.61 rom en hope they fixed the BT-problems in that radio rom.
Hope this can help. I got my BT working again
If you have installed TOMTOM it can be the problem. Found this in another forum:
TOMTOM places a new BT dlls under the windows folder that I had to remove:
\Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll
You can either ename them or remove them and then soft restart your Touch Pro 2/HD2 and everything will go back to normal.

There's an old version of G-Alarm that is free. The last free version is 1.5.1 and I got mine in one of these PPC freewares sites. Anyway, I use this application so much that I think I'll buy it.

I'm thinking of upgrading from XDA I to II, has anybody else who has upgraded come across anythings that was worse on the XDA II than on the XDA I, for example battery life and using the screen outdoors? Also I find PocketPC 2002 very buggy and the phone is unreliable - have these issues been resolved in XDA II/PocketPC 2003?
some people have this issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10088
some people feel that the screen dont like like it's 65k colouer screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...postorder=asc&highlight=color+colour&start=50
some people dont like the bluetooth stack from ms which xda2 use
which are a bit limited in just about every way you can think of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9618&highlight=bluetooth
Wow, wasn't aware of so many potential problems on the XDA 2... I didn't notice any problems with the color while playing with a demo unit. Next time I do get my hands on one I'll scan it more carefully.
I too am using a XDA I, but I do not plan on pouncing on the XDA 2 because there are a few new units on the horizon.. most notably the HP 6300 and MDA III.
well it's not like the colour is worse then xda1 just that some people dont think it's true 16bit colour
Everything is fine with my unit; I just don't like the MS Bluetooth Stack, doesn't let you listen to music through your Bluetooth Headset

I use XDA1 with WM2003 with no problems. I never use the 2002. What problems are present?
- If you lose reception it will sometimes not automatically reconnect to the network
- If you lose a GPRS connection you have to do a soft-reset to connect again
- Sometimes it won't do a GPRS connection - again a soft reset. Sometimes when it does connect can't download any information
- SPB Full Screen Keyboard sometimes doesn't work because of some fault in the OS. One has to take out the SD card and do a soft reset but when you do that you can't access the SD card
- When you put in a new SD card it won't recognise it - one has to do a soft reset.
- Sometimes the device will do a soft reset on its own, though I think that is down to a lose SIM card.
- If you have the SMS client open while in standby mode you won't get any audio alerts for incoming SMSs
- On some days I get double alarms on one alaram
- One seems to have to do a soft reset before uninstalling programs, if you don't, it tries to uninstall it but you get a busy icon forever
Some of the above are probably hardware problems though some are OS bugs. I wish the device would be a bit more reliable
do you have an xda2 ?
because your profile says xda1 ?
I use my Wallaby about 5-6 moths. (Yes I have an XDA1)
- If you lose reception it will sometimes not automatically reconnect to the network
This happends for me once. But I think the whole OS freeze, maybe from other problem, or program. I lose the network twice a day, because I travel with underground. But no problem to loging on.
- If you lose a GPRS connection you have to do a soft-reset to connect again
Oh yes, this is a roblem. I try GPRS when I bought my device, use internet for one month, and yes, it happends often for me too.
- Sometimes it won't do a GPRS connection - again a soft reset. Sometimes when it does connect can't download any information
Yes, yes. Now, I remember that problem.
- SPB Full Screen Keyboard sometimes doesn't work because of some fault in the OS. One has to take out the SD card and do a soft reset but when you do that you can't access the SD card
I don't use this program
- When you put in a new SD card it won't recognise it - one has to do a soft reset.
I used SD card rarely. Only 5-6 times, when I borrowing one from my friend. But I had no errors like this.
- Sometimes the device will do a soft reset on its own, though I think that is down to a lose SIM card.
Never happend to me
- If you have the SMS client open while in standby mode you won't get any audio alerts for incoming SMSs
Hmm. It mean, when inbox was open? I never tested it.
On some days I get double alarms on one alaram
Only happend for me, when load back a backup, and there was double everithing (contats, appointments....) when I synced with outlook. I think I make something wrong.
- One seems to have to do a soft reset before uninstalling programs, if you don't, it tries to uninstall it but you get a busy icon forever
It is a software failure I think. maybe for the wrong programmed softwares, and the OS.
I hate one thing with this MS phone:
I use startup password. When I receive a call, I can pick up the phone, without enter the password, but can't change the volume. :evil: I hate this bug well.
I think the XDA 1 is the best value phone/pda on the market today and the xda developers have made it even better value with their flashing software and bespoke roms. I use one as a phone, navigation system, book reader, mp3 player, internet explorer, pop3 email downloader, games, and much more, there is nothing that comes near to the functionality for the price. I have bought several used 64meg devices for friends and they are all amazed at the value for money, when coupled with gps and tomtom its still cheap but packed with features and options.
I have an XDA1 my only 2 problems are that it does not have a SDIO socket & Bluetooth, and as Cruisin thru said the developers here enhanced the device to be the best working PDA PHONE in the market they could just do that to the Himalaya's as well since it has all the missing features in the Wallaby but it need a lot of hard work.

I use it on my athena (WM6), universal (WM6), hermes (WM5) and wizard (wm6) and it works great.
And you've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software? Other than that I don't know what could cause this. If you don't use "speed voice dial" then try disabling that and see what happens. I doubt it'll fix the problem though.

This software virtually drinks battery juice I tried it yesterday and I was down to 40% by 4pm not doing anymore calls etc. different from what I usually do. I use MS Voice Command, but never went below 60% after my normal day at work, and that was the only new-comer on my device so I quickly ejected him
the speed voice dial is integrated in the rom of ameo and i dont see any way to uninstall it...
i have unlocked the cid and I will try to use the HTC rom

Disable voice dial from registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand. Set LanchAPEnable from 1 to 0 and VoiceCmdDuration from 10 to 300 The VoiceCmdDuration is the time during which the phone sents audio to bluetouth headset in seconds

That is because I've integrated a [email protected] client in the background of btIO ;-)
This code cannot eat battery because it does nothing. Use a good task manager and watch the cpu load caused by btIO and you will see that it simply does nothing. It only checks every 5 seconds in which state the bluetooth radio is, and if the state is not changed (e.g. from visible to unvisible or from on to off) it simply does nothing. If the state is changed it only switches the icon.
BUT, I've also watched battery drain while using bluetooth. In WM5 I had bluetooth on the whole day without any significant battery drain, but in wm6 this changes. What you can do is to enable power saving for the bt-audio gateway in the registry. This helps alot.
Cheers
Has anyone seen or uses a similar application to jetware mobile to enhance the bluetooth on your PDA??
I use BatteryStatus, It can place a (bluetooth, wifi) shortcut on today....
Have a look also to Ilauncher....
With that you can have what ever icon you want on your today....
So bluetooth, wifi, shortcuts to other program ecc.....
You can also edit the icon with your own...
That is a very nice app...
Thanks for the reply but what I am actually looking for is similar to jetware which adds extra profiles to the bluetooth stack not icons, it helps with devices or bluetooth car kits that can read sms etc
Battery status does not actually add anything or extend the bluetooth stack.
I wonder if we can contact the author of the jetware extension to release the source code. He's obviously not doing anything with it anymore.
Top! UP! UP!
Yep UP! i'm also looking for a way of extending the BT stacks functionallity without having to replace the stack itself. Perhaps we really should try to contact the author of jetware
No other app in this world to function like Jetware extension?

may i ask why are you looking for a similar one and not use this one?
i am asking 'cose i found myself long time ago that is causing some problems
with the BT communication....do you have the same problems?
In my case there are some minor problems with BT connection and it also does not deliver entire functionallity that i require - like PBAP and other stuff
Same here. It's not finished and the developer just kinda dissapeared two years ago. Sooo we're looking for someone to take over. Someone please take over on this! There could be a lot of money involved. I would pay up to $100 to get this done!
I'm on the case
Also, what is PBAP?
Ok I think I've found everything I need to get started on this. Since I don't have a device to test this with, I need to know what feature you think would be easiest to implement or what feature you want the most. ie: List contacts, list messages, etc.
This way, I can focus on implementing this one thing, and once it's working i'll know i'm on the right track and can move on from there.

HI guys
Just wondering does Jetware 1.31 work well enough with car kits? I tried my Polaris with the Alpine KCE-350BT and it doesn't work so am about to test it using Jetware. Just wanted to know do you need to run Jetware each time or just for the initial phone book upload? Once the contacts are uploaded i think it should work properly without running Jetware correct?
Just can't really place anything on the today screen or a shortcut, so interested to hear if there is anything else better.
thanks,

this didn't seem to work on my HTC TC.
Anyone else close to a working alternative? I really need something to replace OBEX and use the PBAP format to upload contacts to Alpine car kit.
Are there any registry fixes or does WM6.1 get around the problem as claimed by MS.
Cheers,
I can report that theJetware 1.31 works perfectly on my Orbit II with Parrot 3200LS car kit (use the Disable Synchro phone profile and then send contacts via Jetware).

How do you go about disabling synchro phone profile - is it the same with touch cruise?
I never really 'got' Jetware. Do you just need to send contacts once to the car kit? Also i assume you are meant to toggle bluetooth on/off using the Jetware shortcuts, not the normal bluetooth??
Thanks- i'm going to go bakc to the shop and test it now i've got a 6.1 Rom on, as the OBEX was a problem so perhaps with this turned off in adv. config. it may work (fingers crossed).
When you go to pair the phone on the Parrot, you should see 'Disable Synchro' in the list of phone types available. Select this and then proceed with pairing. Once paired, you can go into the Jetware extension (Contacts area) and Send all your contacts. The huge plus is that if you use automatic synch, you will get duplicate entries for every phone number held for a given contact. If you use the Jetware Extension to send contacts, you get one entry per contact, with all the numbers correctly identified as mobile, home, work.
Then when you dial, you say the contact name, then 'home' or 'work' etc. If you use voice dialling this is essential, otherwise you have to record every number individually (voice tag "John Doe home", "John Doe work" instead of one tag "John", then "mobile" or "home" when prompted for number type).
I hope that makes sense, but since your message is two weeks old (sorry, haven't been here for a while) you may have it figured out.
AFter all that, it seems the developers at Jetware have given up. They don't respond to email and the link to purchase the software is broken/dead. That's a bummer as I have lost my activation code and just got a new phone....

Thanks for the reply - I have never seen this option of 'disable synchro' anywhere on the phone, jetware options or on the car kit interface.
It seems to be working well enough now, but the phone book did get corrupted and couldn't fix it till i paired another phone then mine again. (contacts were mixed up - some first name last name, and didn't show /H or /M for home or mobile etc but seem ok now).
Part of it could be having to be patient with the Alpine BT kit, as it takes a while 'updating' on pairing to copy all the info again. Still doesn't work as fast or as reliably as i'd hoped, but probably good enough. May not have this phone forever, but don't want to get another one yet.
It's a shame they aren't supporting their product any more. Hopefully someone else could improve it or write something better, as the one annoying thing now is that i can't put the phone into sleep mode when i press the button - keeps powering back on to full lit screen, every few mins which wastes the battery as well as distracting when the phone is in the car mount- now i just have to lock the device as a workaround.
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 have a Sprint S3, and it will pair to my car stereo just fine, but it keeps disconnecting. Once paired, there is option boxes for "Call audio" and "Media audio"
It seems like if I turn one option on, it disables the other, and vice versa. Every time I start the car, the pairing is out of whack and I have to start over, enabling whichever one I want, and after a few times it works. I did get both to work one time, but as soon I turned car off then on, it was broken again.
My old phones have never had a problem connecting both Call and Media to my car, so I am concerned it is an issue with the S3.
I have 2010 Nissan Altima with the upgraded stereo. I have removed all previously paired devices so only the s3 shows up. I have removed and re-added the s3 several times. I have renamed the car's bluetooth name several times as well.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue, or can you test it with your car audio systems and let me know if it works for you?
Let me know if there some information I should provide to better understand the issue.
Thanks,
Rob
Hey robmtx, this might help you out. Theres an app in the market called bluetooth fix repair.
I had the same issue with my last two droids (1 and 3), and this solved the dropped connections. good luck
Thanks.
I'll give that a try.
I've also been reading how this might be more of an ICS issue than a device issue. It appears there are similar discussions in other device threads. I'll keep researching and also try this app.
I used my S3 in a rented car a view days ago and paired it with the installed Ford car stereo.
I played MP3 via Bluetooth and made some calls via Bluetooth. It all worked flawless. I also did not see any checkboxes for "call audio" or "media audio".
When I left the car and came back later it connected automatically. So I guess the problem is not a general problem.
this happens on mine as well from stock XALE8 to the latest XALF5. i went ahead and posted on samsung's FB page..but doubt we'll get a response
by the way, ive had this same issue whether im connecting to a bluetooth 2.0 or bluetooth 3.0 headset/car kit.
Right I might know the answer to this as I had the same problem as few weeks ago.
If you have Facebook, twitter, whatsapp or anything like this best thing is to get rid of them if you don't want to go to your accounts and sync on your phone and untick the sync with contacts on any of the apps you have installed.
Then go to call log and clear your call history.
Delete the bluetooth pairing turn the phone off and back on, repair with the car, mine has worked perfectly since I did this.

Did you remove your Gmail account too when doing this? I plan to remove FB, stock e-mail (yahoo) but wasn't sure I wanted to go through removing gmail and removing Touchdown for Exchange.

Sorry for the newb question - but what are these in reference too? Are they a firmware or similar version of something? I was looking under About phone but didn't see anything similar.

I have no problems pairing the s3 with my Volvo. Streaming, skipping titels, switch to phone during streaming - everything is working fine. Syncing E-Mail via Exchange an Gmail makes no difference.

yes this is your firmware version. settings > about > build number > I9300XXALF5. this is the most current. stock should be I9300XXALE8. under baseband version is your modem (which should contain the drivers for your 3G radio/bluetooth/wifi (i think)

My Build number is IMM76D.L710VPALEN which threw me off. Guess it is different for Sprint. Baseband L710VPLEN
I think I'll just buy a car without bluetooth and be done with this mess. It's so annoying playing the "will it pair" game. :laugh:
Some Sony Head Units tend to be a nightmare.

bluetooth bug
I have a strange problem with my bluetooth audio...I have a Denso radio in my Ford Mondeo and the nightmare starts whan I connect phone via bluetooth to it. Phone some time don´t wake up from sleep. The only way how to solve (partialy) this is to reset phone (long press of power button). Then phone connect perfectly and everything is working like a charm. This problem I had on every rom I´ve tried yet
Every other phone I´ve had before didn´t suffer such prblems (galaxy note, evo 3d...)
Somebody could help? I don´t know what to do...
Same Issue
I'm having the exact same issue with my SG3 (Stock, not rooted *yet*). The initial pair works great - phone and audio sync. Once I shut the car off and back on again, the Phone connection does not automatically initiate and I have to manually connect it on my head unit. I'm driving a 2013 Mazda CX5. It's not my headunit since both my HTC Inspire 4G and HTC One X connect without issue. Another annoyance is the lack of song titles or other ID3 info on screen. Even my old Inspire had that!
My connection is great, but I am having an issue with tags. I'm using PowerAmp, but my Alpine unit displays the wrong song info - it automatically uses the default app. Is there any way to fix this?

I have a Sprint S3, and it will pair to my car stereo just fine, but it keeps disconnecting. Once paired, there is option boxes for "Call audio" and "Media audio"
It seems like if I turn one option on, it disables the other, and vice versa. Every time I start the car, the pairing is out of whack and I have to start over, enabling whichever one I want, and after a few times it works. I did get both to work one time, but as soon I turned car off then on, it was broken again.
My old phones have never had a problem connecting both Call and Media to my car, so I am concerned it is an issue with the S3.
I have 2010 Nissan Altima with the upgraded stereo. I have removed all previously paired devices so only the s3 shows up. I have removed and re-added the s3 several times. I have renamed the car's bluetooth name several times as well.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue, or can you test it with your car audio systems and let me know if it works for you?
Let me know if there some information I should provide to better understand the issue.
Thanks,
Rob

i have the exact same problem, having before a Milestone/Droid 1 and a Galaxy S1, both have functioned flawlessly with my car...
By the way, my car is a Renault Fluence 2011, maybe it uses the same BT chip as your Altima as Renault and Nissan are pratically the same manufacturer...

PowerAmp does not send the Tags - Period
The devs may be working on it soon

Hi,
Did you get it working with CX-5 as I just spent 500pounds on this phone and have exact same problem. Thinking of getting an HTC One X instead.

So far I'm still in the same boat. I rooted today and used a market app called "Bluetooth fix" so next time I'm in the car I'll see if it fixed the issue.
