I finally got around to buying a bluetooth for my LTE. Got it in the mail and could not figure out how to pair the stupid thing. After spending 30 minutes on Plantronics web site, HTC and youtube I finally tried pairing it with my wife and moms phone. Worked perfect. MY LTE however will not see ANY bluetooth conection. The bluetooth radio is completely dead! I guess it has been this way from day 1 just no way of knowing without having a BT headset. Guess it is time to back things up and take back to Best Buy for my 3rd LTE!
I still have people complain about the microphone cutting out and sounding like I am talking in a tin can every once in a while then it comes back to normal. Very frustrating qaulity control issues with the LTE!
Are you rooted and running a ROM?

No known issues with BT.

Took it back and confirmed BT is dead, no send or discover. Replacement on the way.
Fingers crossed on the 3rd try!
Had no issues pairing one of our LTE's to a Bluetooth device. It was all stock, too. Hope your new one works.
Got new phone back 1 day later (actually refurbished) works better than the other two so far. Mic is picking up good and BT is working. Very impressed with speed of Best Buy Black Tie protection, not crazy about getting a loaner phone but it was only 1 day.

Hi all
anyone using a jawbone icon with their photon? it seems like it is having a lot of static issues. i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problems.
I'm using an Era & having issues as well. I'm kinda leaning toward the Jawbone being the problem, as I have issues when connected to my work phone as well.
well i wasnt having this problem with my samsung epic -.- maybe they just don't like each other
I have a icon I had the epic and the nexus and I couldn't use the damn thing because of the horrible range and static it would literally sound horrible with the phone 3 feet away in my pocket. Once getting the photon the audio and range it's much better not the best but very usable I don't get people complaining to me when I am on it anymore and range is about 30+ feet and works great I personally think the headset is just crappy and plan to get a new Motorola one here soon, but with this phone it has been the best it has ever been.

I use a Blue Ant T1 and I couldn't ask for better range 20-30 ft and its crystal clear.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I use both the era and the icon and have no issues with either. Both work flawless and I get better range than with my evo.
BlueAnt is the best I've ever used, but lost mine and was short in cash so I got an icon and hated it...lost it too. I've stopped buying them anymore since I can't keep one for more than a month with out braking or loosing them.

Yep, happened to me, it came and went at first and then stayed there all the time. Took the phone to verizon and they replaced it.
That's the beats by dre working its magic. People that listen to hip hop don't hear the hissing and other noises because their eardrums are blown out from all the years of listening to crappy music. My phone does the same thing though. The whole beats thing is a real turn off from the HTC brand and I hope they do away with it.
It's a common problem as far as I can tell. Funny that I stumbled across this thread because the beats things was bothering me today. Can we please stop giving money to rappers and their overpriced bs products.

Same here. Got a replacement and the new phone does not have this problem.

Mine only does this when playing music in the car using the stereo Jack and charging at the same time. Alternator noise.
I've heard about the charging in cars causing problems. Supposedly if you try different chargers or just remove the charger it'll work just fine.
Seems like it only happens with the screen on for me. I can live with it a long as it does not get worse

It's gotten worse for me. I've tried different headphones and it only appears to be the "left" side. Even with the screen turned off it still has the same sound. I also tried turning all the radios off and it does not change. I'll downgrade back to stock Gingerbread (currently running one of the ICS leaks) and if the problem is still there then it's time to take it to VZW. At least it should be covered under warranty,
Happens to me too. But if I wiggle the cord it will go away. At least for now. No telling if that trick will continue to work in the future, but it works for me now.

I have this issue. I've contacted HTC twice already. The most recently last week. Same response, "we have an update coming soon, that will solve the issue" . For those of us running the latest radio/ICS know that their update isn't going to solve the problem. This issue is annoying me more and more lately, it's getting bad. I'm hesitant to return my phone for a warranty just cause I don't want a refurbished, I paid a lot of money for this phone... So, I have to deal with this? I haven't tried deleting beats with root explorer. Maybe I'll try that next.

I was skeptical, and in fact wasn't going to upgrade. My Evo 4G started going flaky though so I decided to upgrade. My humble $0.02:
- ultralight and rigid. exudes quality construction
- phone has a nice feel to all the surfaces
- Beats Audio - I thought this was pure marketing nonsense, then tried with the same quality headphones on this and my old Evo and there's a clear difference. Same thing when I plug in from the headphone jack to my truck stereo. Very surprised.
- speed - can't bog this thing down with anything I've thrown at it
- Battery - still not perfect but I think it's a bit more efficient than my old Evo. At work where I get very little signal it still sucks the battery dry trying to reconnect voice all day. I may just put it in airplane mode when at work. Frigging army construction regulations.
Any dissenters? I'd recommend this phone more strongly than any other phone I've had at the time.
In this forum i dont think anyone will disagree, yes it is a great phone. Have some fun,go over to the s3 forums and brag it up
This phone is extremely solid compared to the Evo 3D, which I passionately hate and wish I had never owned. Unfortunately, a bad signal is always a deathtrap for a phone's battery, but it seems the rest of it is working out for you.

Do any other cell phone providers have good service at your work? I use an app called roam control. In my gym the free-weights are on a lower level with terrible signal. With the force roam on the app I'm able to get constant solid data, so I can listen to the tune in radio app. Just a thought.

I tried finding the force roam app in the play store. Could it possibly be called something else? I can never get a data signal in a certain area, which frustrates me to no end.

If u search "roam control" on playstore there will be an app called "no roam control" or something like that. Anyways it is the first one on the list. It is by the same developer and there's a link to their website. U can buy a license and download it straight from there. Only thing that sucks is u will probably have to buy a new license for every new phone.

Yep. I'm disappointed in myself for using my upgrade on the Evo 3D after Christmas time and not just saving it. I didn't like the 3D much at all.
Also i know meanrom has roam only built in. Great rom too.

That's not quite true. Adobe isn't allowing it to be downloaded through the market, but sideloading it works just fine, and forms the Market link which allows it to receive updates.

It's going to work on every stock-based ROM you find in the dev section.

So I have had bluetooth problems with this phone sine day one.. On all my roms and even after getting a replacement phone. I also have used 3 different bluetooth headsets on it.. Is this just me or a wide spread problem?

I did have some problems before and most of the time it was fixed by increasing the max frequency while screen was off ( I was using viper rom or meanbean), I don't know what rom you are having trouble with and also Bluetooth is really sensitive to interference specially in open spaces, I work outside and I've noticed that if I wave my hand right next to my handset while on a phone call, I get the static and crackling noise you might be referring to, but if I'm in my house I dont get the same result... What rom are you using? Kernel? Scheduler? Or app to set your frequencies? I'm on cm 10.1 and this is my second replacement which doesn't like over clock without the kernel stabilizer made by Viperboy and I'm currently using Komodo rls 30, I don't have that static anymore... :good:
Hatkalte 1.3.2... But it happens on all roms. Also it crackles and then disconnects and then reconnects.. And then cycles again.. It's so annoying.

Ok, my bluetooth died at the end and would not be recognized nor recognize any device that I had previously paired with my phone so I had to use VipeRuu and got it replaced, this is my second replacement after that bluetooth failure... Good luck, you might have a hardware issue like mine was, I won't be surprised if in a couple days it dies completely just like my original evo lte, have you tried stock rom?
Sent from my EVO
I've had issues as well. The best performance I had was on an aosp rom. I was able to walk a crossed 8 bays and through a door and still pick up my music playing. I've noticed sometimes while doing yard work that the music would be very choppy. My buddy has an lte and the same LG tone headset and has the same problems. Hopefully when I get my new s4 my problems will be solved. I'll report back when I verify if it is the phone or the headset or just bluetooth in general.
