[Q] Dual Bluetooth Connections - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited that has built in audio (cell) Bluetooth which is great since I drive a lot between Washington DC and Boston (I live in NJ) and talking on the phone is very easy and safe. However the built in Bluetooth doesn't have A2DP so I've hooked up my Blackberry Stereo Gateway to stream music through that. This setup worked fine for my OG Dinc but with the 4G has problems connecting to both at the same time. What seems to happen is once the music starts playing the car's BT drops out and won't accept calls and then I have to force a reconnect as it no longer auto connects. Has anyone had issues connecting to 2 BT devices at the same time?
I'm rooted with s-off running the stock ROM.
Cheers,
Billy

I am afraid that only 2 Bluetooth devices can communicate at the same time.
I have tried this with an external GPS-receiver and two tablets, but it works with one tablet only.

[Q] Simultaneous Bluetooth Connections on the Evo 3D

I'm thinking about purchasing the Cobra iRadar Radar Detector for my car but I'm wondering if this can be synced up to my Evo 3D since it connects using bluetooth at the same time my car's bluetooth phone system is connected. To my understanding I thought only one piece of hardware could be connected to a device via bluetooth at a time but the more people I talk too the more I hear that it depends on the devices involved and what their bluetooth specifications allow. So if anybody knows anything about this issue involving the Evo 3D I'd be much appreciative for any help that could shed some light on this...Thanks!
If it using the same protocol it likely will not work. I was able to get my stereo headset (phone and media) and my BT keyboard connected at the same time. However, i think i needed to connect the keyboard first and it would not auto reconnect when i turned the screen back on.

From my (limited) understanding Bluetooth allows for 7 simultaneous connections. But, like the poster before me stated, it probably won't work if they are using the same protocol-you will have issues connecting 2 a2dp devices at the same time. I'm not sure what the cobra uses... You might want to field this question to cobra directly, or on their forums. Certainly they tested this or some customer has.
There is also a possibility that Bluetooth 3.0 in the phone might change this as well. I can say from personal experience that things get iffy with my Kenwood head unit in my car with the 3d, an ipad, and a nook color... Hardly able to say which device is at falt in that loop though-and its 3 devices hooked to the head unit, not to the phone.

mutliple devices can be synced but only one device can be using particular bluetooth feature at a time.
Example:
Car Stereo has Bluetooth
My Phone can be connected to Bt Phone
My Ipod Touch can be connected to BT Audio
Both connected at the same time

[Q] Bluetooth Problem

Hi I am hoping one of you can help or offer some advice. My EVO lte will not keep a pairing with my Parrot CK3100 car kit. It paired one time but will not pair again until I delete it and start over. I am in my car all day long and have never had this issue with previous phonesl Any thoughts? thanks in advance
I am having a similar problem with mine connecting to my car. It will connect and it will show it is connected but it won't route calls through the bluetooth until about a minute into the call. It also seems it will pop the connection in and out.
With my old evo it would connect almost immediately in the can and the bluetooth would ring before I even heard my phone ring.
For what it's worth:
I had problems maintaining a connection with my car (BMW 335i). It paired fine, just wouldn't keep a steady connection. I ended up deleting the pairing on both the car and the phone, re-paired but did not allow the car to share the contact list, as it asked to do during the pairing process.
The connection has been solid, however I'm at this point unable to send the contact list to the car.
I reported it to HTC CS, they are aware of it, and seemed to indicate they are going to have an update available at some point. I understand the One X variant also has some Bluetooth issues.
Something may definitely be up with this. I can't get my Evo to pair with anything! My desktop, laptop, tablet, Jaybird headphones or the Ford Sync in my Taurus. My EVO 3D & E4GT paired with no problems. I'm just glad to see that its not just my phone with the problem.

Same thing here. I have it connect to the bluetooth in my 12 Chevy Cruze (Just for my phone calls)and then to a bluetooth reciever i purchased to play my music.
When i connect the two of them my phone connection keeps dropping and then reconnects, causing my music to hiccup while disconnecting.
so right now i deleted my phone connection so i can play my music hiccup free.
When i had my HTC EVO 3D i had no problems connecting the both of them?
HTC please fix...............
So far I have not experienced this issue. I've had my phone since Monday and every morning I go to work I Bluetooth my phone to the Big Jambox and it works.

FWIW i was having problems with my phone staying connected to my car (scion tC 2012, stock radio). I fixed it by putting the phone in pair mode, then having the radio search for bluetooths. The popup came up on the phone (vs having the phone connect to the radio) and its been SOLID ever since. ALMOST as good as my hp touchpad running webos... almost....
No problem here connecting to my Rosen navigation on my Honda pilot. No drop calls and music is clear

For the BMW owner, you might want to consider downloading and installing the update from BMW, if your car supports the update: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/na...ooth_software_update_vin.jsp?region=&country=

Thanks, I was aware BMW had the capability, however "This offer is available for selected vehicles manufactured after March 2010." and mine is a 2009 model.
Missed it by that much
As much as it makes perfectly good sense to me to purchase a new automobile so my cell phone will work with it, I'm not sure that line of thinking will find much acceptance with the Department of Finance and War (aka, my lovely wife)
Appreciate your interest in helping with my Bluetooth issue, though...
I'm unable to hold a conversation for longer than 30 seconds when making and receiving calls in my 06 325i. Sometimes there's a loud high pitched sound that goes off and the call connection still seems to be live, but I can no longer hear the other person, which forces me to hang up. At other times, the call quality is choppy, like I'm traveling through a tunnel every 2 seconds, and eventually the other party on the line, or myself, hangs up. I've never had this problem with any other phones (Palm Treo 755p, EVO 4G and EVO 3D).
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I think it might be specific to the BMW car model and year. Thanks
For grin's try shutting Off WIFI while connected to the car.
I'm finding there are conflicts between Bluetooth and WIFI.

Confirmed! Turning off WiFi "fixes" the problem. This "phone" has a below average antenna, slow 3g speeds, and conflicting bluetooth/WiFi signals (all confirmed by numerous users). Sprint and HTC really need to come up with a solution to all these problems.
Here's a fun one: Just picked up my Evo LTE today.
I tried connecting it to my car stereo tonight.
The stereo sees the phone and pairs with it. Right after they pair i get "com.android.phone as stopped unexpectedly." on the phone and then bluetooth disconnects and my cell connection disconnect for a few seconds.
The stereo is a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X995
Since i've owned the stereo i have connected my OG Evo, an Evo Shift, Nexus S 4G and a Photon 4G all without any issues.
I'm gonna play with it a little more and see if i can get it to pair. So far it's the only issue i've come across.
Edit: My phone is stock / rooted
Edit 2: Was just out experimenting. The phone seems to crash when it syncs the contacts list to the stereo. If I hit "cancel" on the phone when it asks to sync it pairs just fine and the phone doesn't crash.
Also made a 7 minute phone call and it didn't disconnect on me.
My wife's EVO LTE would consistently disconnect from her Rav4's Bluetooth after a minute or two.
This is a deal-breaker. I tried to take the phone back a day after purchasing and the Sprint store mgr wouldn't waive the restocking fee. I explained systemic issue and merchantability laws but no dice.
Sorry for the mini rant but Sprint sucks.

[Q] Let's talk Bluetooth problems

Hey everyone,
Has anyone noticed bluetooth issues? I've pointed them out in other threads, but they seem to be glossed over. I hate to seem like a noob by creating new threads, but I fear that the issue is being looked over by most people. I've read a few reports of people having issues with their phones connecting to their cars or headsets automatically. Has anyone else faced these issues?
I specifically cannot get my BT headset to connect unless I unpair and repair it everytime I want to use it. Sometimes even during a phone call the headset will drop connection and wont reconnect unless i turn it off and on a few times. For reference, I've tried multiple BT headsets and they all behave the same way. These headset's also work just fine with my Galaxy S2, just not with my S3 (international on XLE8)
No problems with bluetooth here and I use it a lot (HS3000, Logitech Boombox, PS3 and Wii controllers too).
No issues here. Phone sometimes doesn't pair automatically with the BT kit in my work car, but I've had that issue with my S1 and S2 in the same car so I'd say it's a problem with the headunit.
Works perfectly with the Sony headunit in my own car, and connects to my mate's fine.
ok, what firmware rev are you guys running? im going nuts not being able to use bluetooth here!!
somewhat related.
i often leave my sgs3 connected to my laptop via usb when i fall asleep. at morning, battery's charged 100% obviously and phone isn't hot.
last time around, i was listening to music via hm3700 bluetooth headset. then later turned off the bluetooth headset. i forgot to turn off the bluetooth on sgs3 and again fell asleep while it's still connected via usb to laptop.
when i woke up at morning as usual battery's charged 100% but the sgs3 was hot, not so hot but isn't anywhere the normal hot we're accustomed to.
connects automatically to my car's BT built-in system. Only needed to pair once.
Works very well with my Sennheiser PXC 310 BT.
If I switch on the headphones the phone automatically connects to it.
can everyone please detail their firmware/kernel they are using?
i am on XXALE8, with the stock kernel
I have problems on XXLE8 as well connect it to my car head unit and it acrually crashes the headunit after 5 mins being connected . After the heaf unit crashes 3 times it requires a pin code. Iphone 4, 4s and gs2 connect no issues.

thanks for your input, i upgraded to XALF5 and still having the same issues. this is frustrating!!!!
Oddly - my phone will automatically connect to my cars in-built BT system, but it won't auto connect to my Jawbone Era without switching BT of and back on....
I also have problems, with my build-in bt in my car. Have XXBLH3. Connect fine, but drop the connection 2-3min after. My SGSII have no problems
No Ringtone through Bluetooth
Okay here is my problem……I want my custom ringtones i have set for contact to play in my Bluetooth headset when a receive a call, not that dumb ring. That way I will know if I want to take the call or not because I can tell by the ringtone who is calling. Why would Samsung disable this feature. my iPhone 4s plays the ringtone I have setup when I get a call. Is there anyway to do this. I ride a motorcycle and I have a device called a Chatterbox that let’s me connect via Bluetooth to my phone so I can hear my music and talk and make calls while I am riding. On my iPhone 4s my music would pause my custom ringtone would play and I could decide it I wanted to take the call or send it to voicemail, then my music would start right back up from where it left off. Right now my Galaxy i717 and my Galaxy i747 (Note and S III) just play this annoying ring and I can’t tell who it is! Any have a fix or work around for this.
Hmmm, the sound on my cars bluetooth gets distorted and only a reconnect will fix, and more worringly sometimes the S3 will not wake up after disconnecting from my car and only a hard reset will solve it.
My S2 did pretty much the same thing.

Bluetooth Headset Question

I have Jaybird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth headsets that I use to workout with. I tried pairing with them on my Omate. It will pair but the sound still comes out of the speaker on the watch. Is there something I can do to fix that as the headset works great. Thanks for any help!
I have have a pair of Jaybirds, and mine did the same thing. What worked was the Omate ran out of juice and after recharging and Turing back on it has worked perfectly every since. You may also need to to set the Jaybirds as default for miix and phone calls under Bluetooth settings.

Where the heck are the bluetooth settings, not quite in your face if you know what I mean.
Yeah, so I don't see in the watch where those Bluetooth settings are to set the Jaybird up as default. Maybe you can help guide me to where that is. Not sure if it matters but it is stock. I also drained the battery but it didn't do anything. If you have a speific process maybe you could lay it out for me and see what happens. Thanks again for the help!
Go to settings. Then wireless and networks. Then Bluetooth. Select Jaybird make sure phone and media audio are selected.

I found the options and it was set as you stated above. Still didn't connect. But, I did a hard reset and tried again and it wored fine, now the issue is that when I turn the headsets on they should connect to the watch but doesnt automatically and I have to re-pair each time.
Glad you got it to work. Not sure why you have to repair each time.

I have a bluetooth problem too. My 1/8 2100 (stock firmware) Truesmart pairs with my LogiLink BT0026 headset but i can play music only within a distance of about 10cm. It disconnects on a higher range. Same with the connection to my PC. The headset connects normally to my other devices. Any ideas???

I have the earlier 1/8 US firmware. I use the Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 Bluetooth(Also sold as Plantronics under same model name and number) headset that I picked up from a garage sale today. Great Bluetooth stereo sound! I absolutely get no sound cuts when worn on my wrist(Which is 2ft away when arm extended) no matter how I move my arms. Have you tried disabling the quickboot feature in Settings >> System >> Accessibility? That feature is causing problems with wifi and bluetooth due to the firmware from what I've been told before.
Thx for your reply! :good:
I tried disabling the quickboot feature and also flashed Loki's EnSec-firmware, but the problem is still the same. :crying:
I have come to the conclusion that we can't always blame the truesmart with the bluetooth issues. I have a bluetooth audio receiver plugged into my hifi system but I can only stream to it in very close contact i.e. about 10cm maxiumum. However same setup on watch connected to my August EP60 headphones (which are amazing btw) yielded very different results. After connectin established I started music streaming and took off my watch and leaving it downstairs went for a walk round my house including upstairs. No loss of connection with several meters distance and no dropouts at all. Happy because I bought the August EP60's specifically to use with Truesmart.
:good:
Hi,
I'm listening to music from my TS through my bluetooth earphones right now... apart from the occasional split second stutter, I'm very impressed.... I can see how this would be a killer device for the gym or joggers etc, I'm so impressed im going to try and find a smaller pair than my backbeats!

Good to hear this, so i still have hope.
What's about your WiFi connection... my maximum range is 3 to 5 meters away from the router (same room, no walls between).
With my stock TrueSmart I get Bluetooth solid from 3 rooms, 32 ft min before blittiness starts. WiFi is even farther.

Bluetooth and WiFi range problem solved!
My problem is finally solved.! I removed the pin of the wristband in which the antenna is located and found that both black wires were scratched. I isolated them with a small peace of tape and now it works great for me.

Just took mine apart for the second time and found the same connector lose again, hopefully sorted properly this time. How did you get the wristband pins out, mine don't seem to have screw heads.

Flaky Bluetooth not auto connecting to car

Hi folks,
I've seen a few comments on bluetooth on this phone but not this specific one. I have a Kia Optima with bluetooth and when I get in the car I expect my M20P to auto connect to the head unit. It seems very temperamental though, often not connecting at all. Other times it will connect and then randomly drop connection and reconnect. Has anyone else had this or know what might be causing it?
I'm currently testing if it only connects when I wake / screen on / unlock the device which it seemed to do on my commute this morning, but then a second time it still didn't connect doing the same thing.
I'm also checking with Kia if there is a software update for the head unit but i'm expecting them to blame the phone and Huawei to blame the head unit.
Any help appreciated.
Hi, I am experiencing something very similar. Very bad audio quality during calls, and temperamental connections with Bluetooth - disconnecting and re-connecting.
I haven't been able to find any solution, hoping to awaken this forum.
Same issue here - On 9.0.0.187
Volkswagen Golf 7 2016
Voice sounds like its lagging and like metallic treble
Also i notice with Spotify will streaming music that the display unit is out of sync with what i am listening
It shows the title of the previous song that i have listen not the current one
Did you ever figure this out?
My girlfriend just reported to me that her new 6T is not automatically connecting to her car like her old Android did. It's paired, but she gas to manually connect.
I have audio speeding up and slowing down on my Skoda Citigo bluetooth with Mate 20 Pro, its slightly better than my Galaxy S8 which used to continually drop connection.
9.0.0.266, Very flakey Bluetooth since this update applied. Used to be fine before this, now i get random disconnects from my Galaxy Watch,, by VW headunit in the car, and random drops of audio from my Freebuds 2 Pro.
Starting to get rather annoying
