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.
Hey all, my name is Dan, long time lurker, first time poster.
I have done alot of research on the topic, but didn't find much in the way of this particular problem.
I currently have a SGS2 running Ressurection 1.8 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running the latest build of AOKP.
So basically the problem I'm having is that both of these devices are stuck in Bluetooth Legacy mode, and what I need is to somehow enable Simple Secure Pairing (SSP).
I have a bluetooth mouse that has no PIN. It was designed strictly for SSP use.
When my SGS2 was running stock 3.2.6 I had no problems pairing my mouse.
My tablet was running 3.2, and it would not pair, it insisted I input the correct PIN. There was no way to leave the field blank and continue, and inputting anything got you a failed pair.
Fast forward to now, I updated both devices thinking that SSP was the standard and now I'm sad to learn that Legacy mode seems to be the only way to pair any of my bluetooth devices.
So basically does anyone have any idea of SSP can be enabled?
Easy solution is to buy a new mouse.
But what would that solve? lol.
Thanks for readin.
The SF didnt show this question, yet.
While trying to connect a BT device (mouse) I encounter the following problem: The S3 asks for a PIN for this device and the field cannot be left blank cause the continue button remains inactive then. The BT mouse does neither require a PIN nor does it work when any key is entered here.
Anyone got a solution for this issue?
Thanks, Don
every BT device like you have, have specific method to pair.
I have Jabra bluetooth headset, and I have to press the specific button on my jabra, so it can be paired with another blutooth (PC/cellphone).
try read manual on your mouse official website.
for me, that's not S3's issue.

Men never read manuals, u know
OK maybe some additional details are helpful to grasp the problem.
I used this mouse with several different hosts, Win7 PC, Galaxy S2 and others. Pairing is usually easy as you just pair it and leave the PIN blank and that's it. The problem simply is that u can't leave the entry field for the PIN blank on the SGS3 (rooted with stock rom) wheras u can do so on other devices. And that makes it an S3 issue I assume.

Hello,
Currently have a Droid Razr Maxx which I connect to my radio via bluetooth. Everytime the radio connects to the device the Razr asks me to confirm the connection. This happens on multiple blue based ICS roms. I have not been able to try and ASOP based roms because HDMI currently does not work with them (and is required to use the radio). This does not happen on my droid incredible 2 running GB. Can anyone direct me as to where I could begin looking to try and either correct the problem or bandaid it so that the pairing request is automaticly accept? The request normally only pops up for about 2 seconds and then closes. I have tried to automate clicking the pair button with tasker but the button presses are not fast enough and the dialog closes.
Thank you in advance,
Cyro
Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is a method for checking to see if the bluetooth MAP function is enabled for a device on a Atrix? Maybe a command via a term' window, or an app?
BT MAP seems to work sometimes on my phone (for my cars SMS feature), and other times it doesnt. Unfortunately, theres isnt a setting in 'settings' that I know of, so I figure I'll have to dive in a little...
Thanks for any info or advice!
