I successfully paired Cingular8525 with Acura 2007 HandsFreeLink. But after it report successfull pairing, I can not use it. It saying phone not found. I use same phone before with PArot system without any problem.
If you go to Acura web site they report 8125 will not support call waiting and data link, but will support basic phone functions. But it does not work for me. Does anyone succesfully paired 8525 with Acura HandsFreeLink? Is 8525 better then 8125 in list of futures supported by acura?
Thanks
I successfully use the 8525 with my Acura TL's Bluetooth. (Previously used an 8125). It works, but occasionally it will drop the Bluetooth connection. This seems to be a known issue with Bluetooth on the 8525.
BTW To get battery level and signal strength meter on the Acura, you need to get the following program:

I have the same problem with my 2005 BMW 545i. Only stays connected when I leave the screen on. If I hybernate it, I lose bluetooth connection. The Jetware program did not seem to help.
sign up for the jetware beta -- might help
my TL also randomly drops the connection as well.
Question, when you answer an incoming call, does the HFL beep twice? Mine does, and the people on the other line can hear the second beep....
Oh well, just live with it I guess....
Bluetooth Acura paudible Tone problem
Yes, I also get dropped more than occasionally in the Acura bluetooth connection. Any fixes? Another Acura problem for me is that when audible tones are created to SEND tone data replies ( " hit 7 to disconnect"), the last tone in teh sudible series sticks and hangs on for 10 seconds or so. The tone message is sent and recieved, so the call actions continue in the background to the tone. Cingular says hardware and send back phone. Any alternative ideas ,or does everyone else have tone work ok?

this actually worked for me, however, the drain on the battery is siginificant, so if you can live with that, I have gone two weeks now without a dropped call....

Hi,
I have many problems with this car kit, but let's start with the most annoying :
kit and phone disconnect after every incoming/outgoing call.
If I receive second call when they are in this "disconnect" state, they magically reconnect and sound is routed to car kit (with some 1-2-3 second delay).
The same happens if I dial new outgoing call.
When call finishes - puff - devices disconnect.
Car kit is upgraded to latest firmware in may.
Phone has stock ROM.
I talked to parrot technical support, they keep telling me "try this/try that" - nothing helps.
Any ideas ?
You know the HTC stock roms are buggy.
i do not use a parrot carkit but use another bluetooth carkit
i have to say that custom roms are behaving better, i can also stream music on mine.
have you tried a custom roms? you can always flash back to HTC rom if it does not work
have a look around in the rom developement section
Fixed
Problem was in Bluetooth settings in Topaz.
Somehow, Audio Gateway was "off" by default, and its power saving mode was "off" as well.
I turned both to be "on", and now phone doesn't disconnect from the Parrot after the call.
Battery life seems to be the same as before.
Anyone ever have connectivity/inconsistent connectivity with Bluetooth on the Vibrant?
I never use it, but another XDA user mentioned they were having issues.
If you have had issues, what suggestions can you make?
The only connection problem I have ever experienced is sometimes with my phone, it will connect --- disconnect ---then connect when I first turn on my car (Infiniti m35) but it does that all in a matter of 5-7 seconds then it never has issues after that. Bluetooth is remarkable on this phone....... wish the GPS was as good. Running latest Bi-winning now
Me and my wife have both had the same issue with a paired device not connecting and you have to turn Bluetooth off and then back on and all is well. Doesn't happen often but can be a little annoying when it does. By the way my wife's vibrant is completely stock and I'm on cm7.

I quit reading when I saw m35. Love that car. Oka, want to hire a NC boy for cheaps? ha.
I use Jawbone Era and it randomly disconnects even when phone is in my pocket and bluetooth in ear. It reconnects a few times but mostly I have to turn the headset off/on to reconnect. Froyo 2.2.1 is better with Bluetooth than 2.2.0
It might be the headset though, our phonen is one of the FEW devices that has Bluetooth 3.0
Even the new LG G2X has 2.1 and not 3.0
I use bluetooth headset regularly on bionix 1.3.1. No disconnections, but the signal strength seems week as there is lot of distortion if the phone is in my pocket. So I have to always hold phone in my hand.

The issues I have (no matter what ROM I use) are Connect - Disconnect - Connect and then the stack is hosed. Have to reboot the machine to get Bluetooth to reconnect (Using Motorola H117). Also, can't figure out the exact pattern, but if I get a notification while bluetooth is on I turn it off and no more notification sounds... or ringing... or anything. I have to reboot to get sounds back.
I connect to my car stereo and sometimes I hear skipping. With my plantronics headset sometimes the signal gets weak if the phone is in my pocket
Sent from Glensta's phone
It is a weak signal in the phone. I have had several phone over the years and my old nokia flip phone was the only one that could do more then 3 feet without issues. My HTC kieser, HTC Shadow, N1 and my current SGS all have issues with my BT headset if the phone is in my pocket on the opposite side of my body from the headset. My old Nokia would let me use the same headset a room away so go figure.
One thing I have noticed is I if I try and transfere a file to any phone(other then the nokia) the file transfere always fails. It works to and from a PC but not to another phone of any kind(except the nokia).... very odd.
my bluetooth has been inconsistantly connecting since I started using 2.2.1 ROMs. it always worked fine previous to that on all the 2.2 ROMs I used.

After turning bluetooth off on my phone or turning off my headset once or twice I frequently lose all sounds as well. Glad i'm not the only one.
I have the problem of sound not switching back to the speaker if I turn off either the headset or Bluetooth on the device.
How does Samsung screw something as simple as this up and it not be fixed after 4 official updates?
Nothing about Samsung's top notch screen is worth dealing with the headaches that come with their software. I'm trying to wait for the second generation dual core devices but, if I see good reviews on the Sensation, I am jumping off the Samsung emotional rollercoaster.

I have been back and forth with Samsung over the past 6 days attempting to troubleshoot this.
I have used a Motorola H117 and a Rocket Fish Stereo Headset that I have used with the phone. The following *almost* replicates the sound system crash every time.
1. Turn on Bluetooth headset
2. Press button
3. Voice Dial a contact
4. Phone conversation for 25 - 30 minutes
5. Disconnect phone conversation
6. Bluetooth remains connected for another 20 - 30 minutes
7. Turn off Bluetooth headset... no more sounds from phone.
Nothing fixes it short of a reboot of the phone.
I am running STOCK 2.2 KB5 right now. Factory Reset, No root, on the 5th Phone replacement from T-Mobile. I have an open case with 2nd Level support with Samsung however they have given me every excuse from "It's your headset" to "We don't replace phones". I have not asked for a phone replacement and I am earnestly trying to troubleshoot this problem with them.
If anyone has any additional information, please add it to this thread. I have passed the URL for this thread on to Samsung (I do not know if they will bother with hitting it) but I am cross posting at the T-Mobile forums as well as publishing on Twitter.
My only issue is that I have to manually connect bluetooth every time I get in the car. I don't know if this is a problem with my phone or with the bt-fm transmitter our both. otherwise, once I'm connected, music plays great.

Basically, my BT has been pm'sing on any 2.2.3 and up ROM.

I have the same problem. I found an alternative to rebooting your phone to hear your sound again. Just play a visual voice mail message and hit the speakerphone button in the UI. Your sound will return. You can also play a google voicemail message and hit the speakerphone. It's not a fix but it will keep you rom rebooting your phone several times a day.
I use 2 Bluetooth devices on my phone.
Sony bluetooth headset:
Skips a lot, depending on what I have running. It's worse the more apps I have. To get the best performance, I usually need to end task everything that's running, clear all RAM, then run the music app again. I use the stock music app. I have had better performance out of several ROM's. I think it might be tied to the kernal used, depending on how much space is left (i.e. Bullet's 339mb kernal that I'm using with Simply Honey). Almost like there's a buffer issue.
Kenwood headunit:
I only use the bluetooth connection for handsfree while I'm driving. The only issue I've encountered is that the bluetooth connection is not always automatically restored everytime I get in my truck. If I go into Wireless and Network>Bluetooth, I can get the connection working again. It seems to always be a phone issue, not the headunit.
If you want a beta tester for something, let me know. I use both the headphones and headunit quite frequently.
We just got a '12 Honda Odyssey.
My Sensation works perfectly with the car's bluetooth but the wife's Vibrant is crap for connecting. Very disappointing. Came here hoping rooting her phone and installing CM7 would fix the problem, but that appears to not be the case.
Shame.
No more Samsung phones for us....
I use trigger 8/22 and the Bluetooth works better than ever. Stock gave me head aches

+1 for Vibrant bluetooth problems. I have a garmin nuvi in my car and sometimes it works, sometimes I get the connect-disconnect-connect, and sometimes it doesn't even try to connect.
I've tried stock, bionix 1.2, 1.3.1, and NextGen 2 and only bionix 1.2 seemed to work reliably.
When it works it is fine.
When it does the connect-disconnect-connect thing it sometimes works for phone calls be most often the audio is going through my handset even though the phone claims a BT connection has been made.
Finally in the case where the BT stack is so f'ed up that it doesn't even try to connect it seems like there's some serious battery drain that doesn't show up on the battery stats screen. I suspect the BT is stuck in some kind of loop that causes it to fail and burn lots of power.
The inconsistency is probably the most aggravating part of the whole thing...
Just upgraded to ICS. I had rooted GB and I used Voodoo app to save the root. Everything thing went well except my phone ringtone. When I get a call my phone only vibrates. I have gone over the sound settings as well as turning on off the vibrate mode. When I turn off the vibrate mode, I get nothing when someone calls. I did the hard reset to no avail. My notification tones are working fine. I can also listen to the music. Any help???????
I just purchased a bluetooth headset (LG HBS700) and now Im having a stuttering issue when notifications come in.
I never had this until i connected the headset. If the screen is on the notification is fine and plays normally, but when i have the phone in my pocket with the screen off it happens. I have tried switching notification tones as well as switching to a different ROM and the problem is still there.
Has anyone else had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it?
I had a similar issue with TuneIn radio. Listening over WiFi was fine while the screen was on, but the music stuttered when the screen shut off. Seems like it limits the amount of power received to that particular radio but not sure. I don't have my phone on me but are there any power saving features for Bluetooth that can be altered?
Thanks for the response. I think you misunderstood tho.
Its NOT the sound coming from the bluetooth device that is the problem, it is the notifications coming from the phone. ie when i get a txt msg or an email, when my phone is alerting me.
