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.

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'm trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard, which worked perfectly under Gingerbread, but will not pair under ICS. Basically, the keyboard will not go into pairing mode until I give it a pin, and ICS won't give me the pin until the keyboard is pairing. Is there any way to tell ICS what pin to expect before trying to pair? This is the sequence I am doing:
1. Put keyboard in discoverable mode.
2. Select the keyboard in the bluetooth menu.
3. Type in a pin on the keyboard and hit enter.
4. A dialog comes up on the tablet telling me what pin to use to pair. (I have to type in the pin in the keyboard for this to come up)
5. Pairing fails after about 1/4 of a second.
Anyone I have the same thing. Get a pop up for a quarter of a second that has a pin but I can't enter it or even read it and then fail.
Please been looking for a solution for a while.

I've downgraded to cyanogenmod 7, and am purchasing a case with a built in keyboard that hopefully does not share the issue. I think these are the only two options.
Bluetooth keyboard in ics
Hi all, I hope I'm in the right area, I have android ics, when I go to pair a Bluetooth keyboard, I put the keyboard into pairing mode and then search on the phone. The phone finds the keyboard and sais please enter the pin code on the keyboard, and press enter, wichita I do and the message on the phone disappears and the keyboard seems to be pairs, but when you look at the keyboard the pairing light is still flashing. The keyboard works great on my partners...dare I say it iPad, but I can not get it to work in ics. I've tried blueinput, blue keyboard jp ,but neither of these program's seem to help. The can see the keyboard but don't seem to connect to them. Any help would be appreciated. To me it seems as tho the keyboard is not receiving an acceptance message from the phone to say connected.

I would venture to say this is a device specific issue. I'd recommend going to the forum for your particular device and replying to a six month old post there that is vaguely related to your issue.
I have looked through the forums, and havnt found anything that helps. I have tried different programs and possible fixes. To no avail. I have a generic phone with ics so rooting may not b an option. One thing i have noticed is ics automatically generates a bluetooth access key. Is there a way to change this to manually choose or enter a pass key. I think this may be part of my problem. Or possibly fix the issue i have. Any thoughts.

I have figured out a work-around for the auto pairing failure. I will give a step by step workaround how I did it. In my situation, I have a Mazda CX-5 and a Samsung Galaxy S3. But I am confident, that it will work with all Android 4.0.4 versions and other carkits, because the problem is most likely the same issue.
The reason why the phone won't auto pair, is because the phone does not give your carkit permission to download call history and other data. Even if you granted the phone this permission with the initial pairing.
If you have a carkit that supports multiple bluetooth profiles (multiple phones), like my Mazda CX-5 does, then you can also have your phonebook downloaded to your car. If your carkit supports multiple profiles, start with step 1. If yours doesn't, start with step 7. This guide is specifically for the Mazda CX-5, so some steps may be (slightly) different for your car model or make.
Here is the step by step guide:
1. Make sure you have no existing bluetooth pairs. Clear all pairs in your carkit and your phone.
2. Pair the phone with your carkit. You can see the randomly generated code on your phone and on the car display. Press ok to pair. (other carkits may need you to input "0000" or "1234", or maybe you have to input a code yourself)
3. Your phone will ask 2 questions about permissions. Check the box and allow. The phone will start to sync.
4. You carkit is done with syncing and it will ask you if you want to download your phonebook. Do this.
5. When its done copying, clear the Bluetooth pair on your phone (not on the Carkit!)
6. Give your phone a different Bluetooth name
7. In your carkit choose to pair a new phone (with the new name you just entered).
8. When the phone asks for permission for the carkit, check the box and choose cancel. Do this for both questions.
You don't have to copy your phonebook again (you can't anyway because you denied permission), but the phonebook that was downloaded earlier will still be available. Now the phone will pair automatically! With this trick you have your phonebook and automatic pairing.
I haven't seen what this does for media-audio streaming. I don't use that, but I can image that it doesn't work, because of the denied permissions.
There is another downside to this though (there always is, isn't it?). You cannot update your phonebook easily. If you want to update your phonebook, repeat the whole procedure.
I hope this will work for other people with different phones and cars too. At least this is a workaround until Google/Samsung comes with a fix. Please let us know if this works in your situation. To keep things structured, please use this format:
Car: Mazda CX-5
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Works: Yes
That's OK !!
Car : Renault Scénic
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3
Works : Yes, fine !! (with the MP3 reader too !...)
Good stuff!
Car: Vauxhall Vivaro van
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Works: Yes, but can't get access to the phonebook as bluetooth keeps dropping out before it downloads. I don't really mind that though. At least I can now use my phone!
Man thanks for this fix!

This does not work for my 2010 Altima, but glad to hear someone is able to fix their problem. Maybe I should go buy a Mazda :good:
POSSIBLE SOLOUTION
Guys, this problem was driving me nuts, just like many it worked the FIRST time it synced with my car but after that no go ! i randomly was trying stuff until something odd happened, i installed this program : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp&hl=en and tried connecting to my car within the program, from now on, as long as that program is running, EVERYTHING is working, i can even get to my Text Messages from my car , all good !!! hope this helps you guys.

I have many problems with paring the S3 to different devices (headset, carkit, modem) Even connecting the S3 to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 reuslts in the S3 not being able to sent photo's to the Galaxy Tab 7.7 only when I fist sent a foto from the tablet to the S3 I can then sent form S3 to tablet. Also Wifidirect does not work. The software of my S3 is:
Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: i9300xxlfb
Kernel: 3.0.15-782020-user
Buildnummer: I9300XXBLFB
Any discussion with Samsung support and product managers did not resolve in a solution, they continously point the issue to the carkit, headset, modem supplier. Even the problem with connecting to the Samsung tablet is waved as "Differnt software, different hardware no guarantee that is compatible".
Solution
So I have reset the S3 back to factory settings which removes all apps not installed by me and all personal settings. Then I did following:
I installed, on the Samsung Galaxy S3 the first version of Samsung factory ROM (Build I9300XXALE8 for region Europe which is also 4.0.4 but the earlier version) using procedures and software(odin) to install custom roms. This does not void the warranty as the unit is not being rooted but only downgraded to an earlier official Samsung softeware
Then reset the S3 again to factory default settings.
Started the pairing with the Bluetooth device. They all started to pair and work correctly.
Removed all pairing profiles again form the phone and tried to pair again.. it kept doing the right thing.
Turned off the phone, turned on again and autopair with the carkit worked flawless. (my carkit is a Pioneer HD1BT). Same with headset and modem.
Install Samsung automatic software updates which upgrades the device ROM to newest version Build I9300XXBLFB. Manual disconnect and reconnect kept working
If one removes any BT connection profile on the phone after the software update, the BT connection/pairing problems with that device will come back and you need to do the whole procedure again
Bottomline conclusion: The latest Samsung updates has broken the ability to create a pairing profile with some bluetooth 2.0 devices.However, once the phone has Bluetooth connection profile for that the device, it keeps working.
The blame of Samsung towards carkit mfg's is incorrect. . It also has nothing to do with Bluetooth 4.0 compatibillity with 2.0 devices. (iPhone 4S, HTC One X are bluetooth 4.0 and the HTC One x is also Android 4.0.4). It is a pure Samsung sofware problem!
Either way It sucks. This is supposed to be the best phone on the market and its not without bugs
I received an OTA from Sprint and my bluetooth is now working as intended in my car. Have others received this OTA and had their bluetooth issues resolved?
I'm having a similar issue, but it only fails to autoconnect once I have set it to use the phone as a Bluetooth audio device.
Car : Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) GTD
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3
Works : Yes but can't sync contacts
All worked fine with LFB ROM (auto pairing and contacts sync) but from LG6 (LG8, LG9 and LH1) my phone disconnected 5sec after a contacts sync and auto reconnect 1min later...
So I just paired the phone without contacts synchronising.
Good news for everyone : everything works fine with JB (contacts, auto pairing...) !
Soon on Criskelo ROM :good:

LH7 today but still problems in fact. I had a very lucky test... cause today it's impossible to synchronize contacts correctly without being disconnected every 10 secs.
All I can do is pairing S3 and car kit without contacts...
I think I found a solution that seems to work well for me. I tried 3 times and it works.
I tested one last time just leaving a blank LH7 stock ROM then a nandroid backup from a previous version and if it is confirmed, I will explain the process. :laugh:
I solved the problem! (at least with my config)

I just installed the Tmobile OTA update and verify that the bluetooth reconnection issue has been resolved. I was using the workaround prior to this update and it worked as stated. After the update, I removed the pairing profile and re-pair from scratch and it worked right away. My issue now is that only a small portion of my (google) contact list gets transferred to the car. If anyone has any suggestions on workaround, it will be much appreciated
Stupid question but we never know... : did you wait long time enough ?
Check your google contacts and avoid :
- *
- non-ASCII characters
- email addresses with 'home' or 'work' attribute
With a little luck ...
Ive been trying to figure this out now for a month and so far i have found:
If i restore back to stock image (rooted) with samsung bloatware bluetooth will work perfectly fine.
If i then go to use TB to restore all my apps data etc, whenever i get into the car i will then get aprox 30 seconds - 2 minutes delay in the pairing.
If i restore back to stock and just use phone book it works perfectly fine. So i wondered if something was in the restore.
If i then flash a custom rom (any rom 4.0.4) on it will just take 30 mintues or whatever the timeout i have set in the bluetooth config file, this in theory is a dead end does nto work. If i then reflash the custom rom and do a complete user wipe, fix perm and nuke all the cache it then works perfectly fine with the custom rom (exactly like the stock).
I then can go to the car and it will pair perfectly. If i then go to TB and restore (including bt pairing etc) i get stuck in the 30 -2 minutes pairing, sometimes even longer.
Now here is the strange part, if i know my phone is at the stage where it will pair within 2 minutes i know i can restart my phone and it will pair instantly! If i turn off BT and turn it back on it will not pair.
OK so now i kind of know how to get it working but not as perfect as walking to the car and it pairs within a second or two. If i then flash a kernel (any i have tried about 4 of the popular ones) i then get 0 pairing, it can try for 10 minutes - 20 minutes it will just not pair. I then have to reflash over on top the custom rom with full bloatware.
Ok so now if i try the same as above minus the bloatware i get stuck in the non pairing mode again. non of this install bluetooth.apk, pressing cancel to contacts works for me. My BMW, AUDI will just get stuck in limbo where its paired but the connection is similar to a phone call for an unlimited lengeth of time it will just not work.
My current state of the phone is like this... OMEGA ROM (any version 4.0.4), stock kernel, FULL bloatware and my phone will pair either instantly or <2minutes. If it fails to do this a restart of the phone will pair it instantly.
I am able to freeze bloatware but any removal and the BT just hits deadlock. Now what is weird is i never ran my phone with bloatware at all up until all these problems started so something in the last month has sent my bt messy. even restoring back to my rom backup from when it was workign wil lnot fix it.
This is not a car BT issue as i have tried three cars and they work perfectly fine with any other phone.
I am getting kind of sick of sitting in the car flashing roms, trying things etc. I do not know what the problem is but atleast 2mins waiting time is better than not having anything
I'm on JB (Revolution HD 12.2) and my S3 still won't pair with a car kit, no matter what I do. :\
Hi,
in our warehouse I use the Galaxy Wifi 4.0 with a Motorola RS507 bluetoothscanner for orderpicking.
I have 10 of them all working without any problem. Now I needed 10 more, but the 4.0 is replaced by the 4.2. So I bought them instead.
But I cannot get the scanners working with this device.
If I want to connect the scanner I get the message:
Confirm passkey is xxxxxx to pair with RS507 1234
I can press "Accept" or "Decline"
When I press "Accept", it says "paired" but I cannot use the device.Also the device give no confirmation sound that it is connected.
On all the other devices (Wifi 4.0, Galaxy S, Lenovo A1 Tablet) I get the message:
Confirm password to pair with "RS507 1234"
Then I only have to press Accept and the device is paired and working.
Does anyone have a similar problem with another bluetooth device and knows a solution how I can connect the scanner?
If it will not work I have to look around for the old Galaxy Wifi 4.0.
Thanks for your help.

Try enabling CONFIG_BT_HID in your kernel. I say this since the scanner's datasheet has blutooth HID listed, the 4.2 kernel doesn't have it enabled, and my 4.0 *does* have it enabled. In the 4.0 it's configured as a module, but you could try getting away with linking it directly in your kernel just in case the 4.2's init scripts/ueventd doesn't load it.
If you need help doing this let me know in a PM.

Thanks for your help. But I configured the scanner to use SPP an not the HID profile. Is SPP also disabled ?
It is not that important for me anymore.I bought 15 new 4.0 devices. But as a sport I want to get it working on de the 4.2
Can I ask?

Hi,
I've tried connecting Android to various other BT scanners before (using the SPP) and have not had problems. But I'm struggling on the RS unit.
What I normally do is on other scanners is turn pairing on for the scanner, connect and pair to the unit from the phone. Then start my application on the phone, which initiates the connection to the scanner and connects. Then I can read from the scanner and all works well.
On the RS this seems different, as you don't seem to put the RS in pair mode and connect to it. instead the process seems to be to scan a barcode on/for the device (with MAC id?) and the RS connects?
Either way, I have not managed to get this to work.
Can someone provide me with the correct process to connect the RS to an android device in SPP mode?
Any help or working code example would be much appreciated!
