Hi
Wondering if anyone can help me with how to diagnose this issue? I use my phone a lot in the car for navigation and to listen to music / books.
When I connect via Bluetooth, after somewhere between 30 mins and an hour, the phone does a soft reset (could be the wrong term - I don't see the normal boot screens, it just goes black and then starts at the home screen again, but the phone has clearly restarted).
The only thing thats the same,e about all these resets is the Bluetooth connection - I've tried a number of apps (mort player, spotify, audible) and they all do the same.
The only other thing I can think of is that the charger I plug it into is on it's last legs
Does anyone have the same issue, or any idea how to diagnose what's going on?
Thanks
Jon

Because of the lack of physical buttons to control the music player I went out and got a bluetooth headset for the archos. Which works great all the buttons work, but once I push pause the archos goes to sleep and shuts off bluetooth is there any way to stop this?

You should try it with some kind of battery saver app or so
In these program you can set if you want turning wifi off when your archos sleep and such stuff i think a bluetooth option will be there, try different apps
I had the same problem...
Since you need your Archos to not go to sleep, there needs to be a wakelock active. Since most apps use wakelocks automatically (for example the music player activates a wakelock for as long as it plays music, but drops it the moment you press pause and the device goes to sleep) you need to get one yourself. Maybe there is a simple app or gadget for that so you can search for it, the key word you need is wakelock.
On the other hand, I use the Terminal Emulator app which has an option to take a wakelock in the menu and leave it running in the background, so you can use it if you find nothing else.
Anyway, remember to drop the wakelock when you stop listening to music, cause you'll drain your battery keeping the Archos running even with the screen off.
I was able to get SuperPower running on my archos. It's in the market but doesn't show up on the archos so I had to download it on another android device and then transfer it over, but it has a feature that allows you to delay the BT shut down for up to five minutes. It's not perfect, but I generally only need to pause for a little while to talk to someone. and I can live with turning it back on after really long stretches. I'll keep looking for something better and post it if I find it.
You can try Softlocker. It's free and available in the market. I use it to keep my wifi open during sleep. I guess it would do the same for bluetooth, but i've never tried it.

Hey Folks,
Wondering if anyone is having similar issues. For some reason, whenever I play music in my car (2011 X5 with IDrive) via USB cable & Default music player from my SGS 2, the audio stops playing on its own. Doesn't happen with same tracks or at the same time. It just stops and sometimes doesn't start playing again. I have to unplug the USB cable and wait a few minutes then plug it back in, put in my Unlock pwd and after a successful MTP connection it'll play again.
I don't think its related to media scanning. There's simply no message on my phone when the music stops playing. I know the USB connection is fine since I never had any issues playing music from iphone 3g via USB.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My phone is stock ATT Galaxy S2.
Thanks,
JV
Bump. This happens to me, but with just headphones. Happens in the music player, but never in Listen. Any more info on this?
Wow, I never even got my usb-connection to established. It rums around in circles trying to mount/connect. I just use the auxiliary port
Good Luck
Hello,
I have the HTC EVO 4G LTE and the official car dock that I purchased from the Sprint store. If I understand correctly, this dock should automatically send my phone into the HTC Car app when plugged in. This happens sometimes, but not all the time--it's hit or miss. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly why it won't go into HTC Car mode sometimes, and it's becoming frustrating after only a few days. Usually I can just unplug it and immediately replug it--I do that once or twice, and then it works.
Does anyone know how/why this is? I read somewhere that the connectors on the dock are somehow different than the "standard" micro USB connectors, which is what alerts the phone that it is in a car dock. I really would like this to work automatically, 100% of the time, because I absolutely LOVE the HTC Car app. It blows away Garmin and TomTom GPS. And it automatically turns on bluetooth and connects to my bluetooth headset for any calls, and to my HTC Car StereoClip and resumes playing the last music or radio station.
Must fix this.
Dude, It's happening to me also. Hit or miss...hope they get this issue fixed. Very frustrating.
When in the car app click on the bottom bar with the white arrows and Bluetooth symbol to launch settings and make sure that auto-launch is selected and auto-connect if you want to connect to Bluetooth as well.
Also I have found you have to click it in all the way to get it to launch. Once the charge light comes on it does not necessarily mean it is completely docked. I was running into this problem as well but these 2 things have it working great for me so far
I have triple- and quadruple-checked...and yes, I have the option set to automatically go into Car Mode when docked. I have found myself pushing the phone down rather "hard," to ensure it connects "all the way." But yea, this is a very annoying little glitch. Last week, I found myself playing with it waaaaay too much, as far as taking it out and putting it back in to see if it would go into Car Mode. 1) This is dangerous, and I probably shouldn't be doing that much while driving. 2) In some instances, by the time I got it to dock automatically, I was just a block or two from where I was going. SMH...
I know you can always start car mode manually, but it's so inconvenient. If you weren't aware already, when car mode works automatically, it automatically turns on bluetooth and connects to my bluetooth headset for any calls, and to my HTC Car StereoClip and resumes playing the last music or radio station. And when you take it out of the dock, it turns off bluetooth and disconnects from your devices...saving you time and just making things more intuitive.

I do know what you mean it still doesn't launch automatically for me as well sometimes. I was just suggesting those if you hadnt known or tried them. I am not sure if it is a software issue with the phone or a hardware issue with the dock connections? Hopefully they can fix it with an OTA but if not I will be expecting a replacement dock for sure.
For now I solved the issue by making an NFC switch to turn on bluetooth and car app along with a few other things like turning my media volume up and turn off wifi if I forgot to leaving the house or work. Then getting out of the car a second tap reverses everything.
I've noticed this too and was just getting ready to search about this issue when I see it at the top of the list. I've seen it work about 1/3 to 1/2 the time, and if it doesn't, if I undock, turn screen off/on then unlock and try again, it seems to work most of the time (could be fooling myself, though).
I thought Locale could address, but problem is that phone is not recognizing the car dock, not that it fails to launch the app. I'd hope this is fixed in upcoming release if one of the awesome modders doesn't figure it out first.
Definitely hit or miss. Most of the time car mode doesn't launch at all. It is detecting the dock though or the screen wouldn't turn on like it does. Normal charging doesn't make the screen turn on. I'm still stumped though.
I don't have the official HTC dock but I have a 3rd party one set up with a custom NFC tag that launches car mode. You guys could probably do the same as a workaround for yours not launching automatically. Probably not the fix you want but it works.

So, I love this phone and hate it at the same time.
First off, just at random, the BT, Wi-Fi or GPS will just turn off. Has not happened for a couple days, nothing has really changed.
Now the big issues. These are driving me nuts....
I have a Pyle PLDN74BTi (don't laugh, it was dirt cheap) and it supports Bluetooth audio and tagging and speakerphone from a BT phone. All the features work except the tagging. I cannot get BT to display the audio info or the phone info.
Second, I just bought an iBolt xProDockX. When I dock it, the phone recognizes its docked, but it will not open the doc app upon dock. I look in the default apps, and the dock isn't even listed. I purchased Car Home Ultra and it wont auto open, I even install the dock&drive app from iBolt and it wont auto open upon docking either.
Anyone else having these stupid issues with their phone? I have cleared all the apps, and I have restarted the phone. No Dice.

It sounds like a bad phone. Might want to take it back and exchange it.
Hey,
so a little less then a year ago i bought the Ulefone Gemini Pro on Gearbest. And for the first few months the Phone worked flawless... but then a few prloblems started to appear.
First the external SD card randomly wasnt detected which was quite annoying cause i installed a few apps on the card which i couldnt use until, for whatever reason the card was detected again, this could either be in a few minutes or like half an hour later. Now i just use the sdcard for storage and by this I "fixed" this issue...
Then my Headphone jack broke... like it only works if you bend the connector quite hard... so I switched to a Bluetooth headset which worked fine... until it didn't...
When I connect my Phone with any Bluetooth Speaker (i got the JBL Xtreme) or Headphones (currently using marshall MID) the phone randomly loses the connection.
So first I connect it, start spotify and the songs starts. Then after some time the music randomly stops for about a second and start again until the bluetooth signal on my phone says that there is no connection anymore. And if I let Bleutooth stay active after a minute or so in connects again but wont work properly: sometimes it says its connected but the phone is blasting the music out of its own speakers.
I tried everything i could find online: from the obvious ones like battery power, compatibility.... to the less obvious ones ( for me) like: turn off WIFI signal, Battery savings options, deleting the cache, location tracking...
what i think i noticed is when i open google maps with location on, it almost everytime start with those issues.
with other phones the speaker and headphones work flawlessly so it has to be my phone..
So my question would be what else could be the culprit of this error? is there some app that interferes with my bluetooth and how can i find it (for example i found out that location tracking if it set on extra exact uses WIFI bleutooth etc. and maybe thats interfering with the connection)
Or is there another soultion?
Or could it be a hardware problem with Ulefone Smartphones cause i read in two other posts that they also got bluetooth issues...
thanks for reading
hopefully someone knows how to fix this
Best wishes
