Hi there! I have an MDA II and a Parrot CK-3000 (with sw ver. 3.13) carkit. I read about the outcoming of this sw and I decided to install it on my MDAII. But, after a correct installing procedure, it simply doesn't work: my carkit remains mute like a fish!!! :shock: I'm asking you, guys already use successfully this sw, a hand of help to solve my trouble (if possible). Note that I downloaded it from this
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
and I tried to follow all the instructions placed in there...
Thank you all!

Why not email the author, he is most helpful.
Had the same issue with the Parrot. My Plantronics headset works a treat, but not the Parrot.
I mailed the author who confirmed there are some problems and a new release will be needed.
As the author is doing this work unpaid and the functionality is so good, I can wait.
@ mrg2003
I send an e-mail some days ago but still had no response.
Anyway, I agree with IanF and I'll wait for the new release.
I wish I read this bulletin board more often.
Yes, I have exactly the same problem with the CK3000 (v3.13) and PBT. HBH-35 works a treat but CK3000 does not bond (XDA thinks it does but there is no handshaking and CK3000 repeats request to bond).
Back to basics again ...
Incidentally, does anyone know if Tobias plans to engineer a way to trigger Voice Command and take input from the car microphone for voice recognition? Would be the dogs and well worth a major donation ....
Cheers
I've had some problems with pocket bluetooth. I have emailed tobias as follows and am awaiting a reply. Was wondering if anyone has faced similar problems:
Tobias,
Thanks for all the hard work in getting these tools working. I have just bought an XDAII with the latest 1.60.00 ROM using the 1.10.00 radio version.
At the same time, I have a WIDCOMM bluetooth dongle on my PC which supports numerous profiles including the headset profile, which allows me to use the PC's speakers and mic as a 'headset' with the XDAII.
I set up the XDAII with the PC, using the built-in bluetooth bonding and pairing application and managed to get it all working fine with the PC using the speakers and the mic as the headset, with the phone automatically transferring the call to the PC when the 'Bluetooth Headset mode is enabled' shows on the today screen. Furthermore, activesync also seems to work fine too.
After installing Pocket Bluetooth Tools, the headset stops working. Before installing it, I unpaired the device by deleting it from the list of paired devices. After installation and going through the process of pairing the device again, it correctly gives me the option to choose the Serial Port, ActiveSync, Modem, and Headset profile. I select all of these and click on OK. Once this happens, my PC gives me a message saying that the XDAII has connected with the headset. However, this doesn’t happen once but goes into a continuous loop giving me notifications every 2-3 seconds that this is the case. Furthermore, when making a call to see if the voice has been transferred to the PC< this stops working and the XDAII's speaker and mic continue to be used. The only way to stop the constant loop of connections is to switch off the bluetooth radio on the XDAII. Furthermore, when deleting the pairing from the XDAII this constant loop continues.
Have you faced this issue previously, as I think it may be a bug. The only reason I installed pocket Bluetooth is that my current b.tooth headset is a Nokia HDW-30 that supports the handsfree profile and your documentation states that Pocket Bluetooth tools supports this profile.
Let me know if there is a fix for this.

maybe just because he doesn't answer
i wrote a very long report some days after the long awaited new version came out in april, but haven't got any reply. (maybe my email got lost - who knows ...)
i have exactly the same problems. i also have a parrot ck3000 (tried with firmware 3.11 and 3.13) and an mda2 with rom 1.6.00GER and extROM 1.60.07. the two devices pair, and sometime i can even select the "headphone profile" afterwards. i even managed to make it work ONCE, after several hours, of installing, reinstalling, pairing, reparing, ect, ect ...
what did work once was making calls. but after the first call came in, i could answer it, the caller could hear me, but i couldn't hear anything. this happened twice and then i just turned off bt and used the mobile as always.
as i'm using my mda in my car for work and not for fun this is no solution for me . i went back to the original bt stack that works quite well. i can make and take calls w/o any problems.
one thing i'd like to see changed (as soon as parrot and mda work together) is, that ALL calls are made via the handsfree, as, as long i'm in the car it HAVE TO use the handsfree by law (and it's much more comfortable anyway). it's not practicle to dial with the mobile, and then by pressing the green button on the parrot to move the call to the handsfree. but that's the only way you can do it when using speeddial.
another thing i desperately miss is a way to change the volume of the handsfree. i could do this using the volume slider of my nokia 6310, but volume stays all the same when using the mda. and it's just too low when doing higher speeds on the autobahn
of course voice dialing would be a great feature to have ... but it's not that necessary.
please don't get me wrong .. i'm don't want to be ungrateful as i'm not paying for this software - i just want to help ppl by saying that they are not alone with their problem and they should give up wasting their time and better wait for a new release....
and of course i'm very willing to PAY for that software as well as soon as it is any improvement over the original bt stack (for me of course. for most of you it already is)
maybe TOWA could say some words here. that would be really appreciated.
thanks anyway a lot to all ppl that spend their free time developing software and providing it to the comunity!!! thumbs up !

Bluetooth tools and ROM 1.72
Does ROM version 1.72 require TOWA's bluetooth tools? In this ROM, there are options for COM port selection etc under Bluetooth settings and the clubimate site mentions bluetooth improvements. Anyone with this info?
other com settings then
Inbound COM port com4
outbound COM port com5
??
if so what are they?
Rudegar
You are right. Inbound 4, outbound 5. Likely required for GPS devices, if i am not mistaken

These are the ports for BT beaming, as I understand! (not for BT GPS).
For BT GPS you do not specifically need BTHTools anymore (since 1.66) because WM can install a BT GPS com at first bonding.
Something is different however (vs BTHTools) since with 1 application (Alturion) I can not get the BT GPS working anymore, which can also not be solved by still installing BTHTools!! (while I have no problems with my other application TT. Figure that out?!)
Ronald
I now have the same problem, the parrot ck3000 was working until I insatlle dthe bluetooth tools, and now it doesn't.
Its a shame I did not see this thread before
Will the 1.72 rom work with both parrot and my emtac bluetooth gps?
Cheers

have you tried uninstalling Bluetoothtools?
no not yet, I might give that a go, but then my gps wont work :?

I think it will still work!
With my working application (TT3) I see the GPS on COM5 (installed by WM) + on COM7 (installed by BTHTools) + on the BT/SIRF interface!
If I uninstall BTHTools I only loose the selection for COM7. The other two selections still work!
Of course you must have acknowledged the WM com installation with first bonding (in any case for the serial operation)! My BT/SIRF connection always works in TT3 regardless of WM/BTHTools installation of serial ports.

I'm also having that strange problem with the parrot CK3000. I did install the previous version of BT but I don't see any difference with or without BT. But when I de-install and want to go back to the original state, the same problem persist. Is there any way to download anyware the original Bluetooth stack without re-install everything (and loosing all my settings and software)?
Thanks for helping out.
Frank.
I have a Pioneer AVH-4100 car in-dash Multimedia system + CD-BTB200 Bluetooth adapter! Devices are paired but i can't seem to do the following:
1- Dial numbers
2- Access phonebook
3- Voice recognition
3- Receive names in incoming calls
Everything else works fine, but unfortunately the most important features doesn't..
I wish JETware was compatible with the HD2..
Any idea what to do?
thx..
Hello,
I've got the 5900P but also with the BT module you mention,
In fact the BT module of the radio doesn't really work that interactive, in fact it can't read the phone, so you have to work the other way around,
This means you first have to pair the phone, than you have to upload all your numbers from your phone to your car radio, I know, it's annoying, hard to keep up to date and everytime you flash (daily in my case) you have to re-pair and upload them again... So this last part I'm not doing anymore, on top of that it's limited to 300 nrs, the radio that is, and my hd has 450, so can't do them all...
this answers question 1-2 and 4, the voice recognition I never use, I keep my phone in a cradle next to the radio and use it like this...
Regards,
Tom

Thanks allot for this valuable info, i'll try at as soon as i can..
Regarding the "Dialing number" feature.. I want to dial using the on screen dial pad but i don't see it.. If i load up the contacts will i be able to see a dial pad?
Most appreciated..
good to know. I have the pioneer avh3100dvd and I just slave it with a 3.5mm to the front connector. I have thought about getting the adapter but was worried it wouldn't work.
I tried to upload the contacts but it says on the phone that there is no support, I can't figure out how to work around this.. I only have a "Send" & "End" on the screen. The screen also shows Battery and signal status. Nothing else..
I would really like to sort out this issue..
I can't see any option anywhere in my SGS2 to set a BT paired device as "authorized". Every time I enter in my car I've to manually select the BT device and start manually the connection.
I searched in the forum but didn't find answers.
I also tried to look at the filesystem and I found auto_pairing.conf file in which there are a lot of BT manufacturer brands listed in sections like "black list", "white list", .... Is it possible I need to manually modify this file to include my BT manufacturer in the white list section? It sounds really strange!
Is there any other way?
I'd love to know that as well.
I atlculay lvoe my sumnasg glxaay s2 wtih VliaRionlm mroe tahn my xobx
Update
I manually modified auto_pairing.conf file adding my car BT manufacturer without any success (I added it in white list with the name already mentioned in the file, so I think that's not a problem of brand name).
My SGS2 continue to ask me to manually select the device to connect to, even if only one BT device is available (car handsfree).
I have the same problem, which i didn't have with my Nexus One running Cynogenmod ROM. I keep my Bluetooth on all the time or most of the time and i would like (like i had in nexus one) when i turn on my car (with Sony MEX-BT3700U car stereo with Bluetooth) that the phone auto-connects with the stereo in a minute or less (or with my plantronics headset when i turn it on), but no, every time i have to go into bluetooth settings and connect on the paired device and then it's connected.
I heard about few application that could help but it would be nice to have it as native function on the phone. I haven't tried these apps yet but if anyone want's to try they can be downloaded from the market, firs is free, the second is not.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
I don't have this problem at all, on any ROM I've tried stock or not. Is your stereo also set up to auto-connect? And is it your phone or your stereo that's refusing the auto connection?

Stereo doesn't have any options, same as Plantronics headset (only ON or OFF), that means that with my old nexus one running CM (or Nokia n95 8GB) when the bluetooth is switched ON and i come near stereo or headset they connect automatically in about 30 seconds max, with my SGS 2 that doesn't happen, i tried everything but it wont auto-connect until i initiate the connection from phone manually.
I have to resolve this because it's killing me !

I wonder if that's the issue; IIRC it's my stereo that I've told to connect automatically rather than my phone. I'll verify on my commute home today.
Mine auto connects to my JVC car head unit, but doesn't to my Belkin Tunestage. No idea why. As it happens, this suits me but it'd be nice to be able to control it.
And the commute begins. The auto connection is an option on my JVC deck, no such option on the phone.

The stereo is recognized same as Plantronics and that is as a head set, but it doesn't want to automatically connect to either of them, every time i have to initiate the connection. There is one way to connect it (partially automatically ) but that's not the solution - i have to turn on the bluetooth on my phone before starting my car, then when phone is in searching mode if the car is started (stereo turned on) then it will connect automatically, if the search mode (that is active for a short time after turning the bluetooth) ended before i start the car (for instance if i keep my bluetooth on all the time on my phone) then it wont connect automatically.
Am i any clearer about my problem ?
I hear what you're saying but it appears that auto connection is initiated by my stereo. If I turn auto connect off on my stereo there is no connection until I tell my phone to connect. I don't see anything on the gsii settings to have the phone auto initiate the connection. I have a recent JVC deck fwiw.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I will check one more time is there any bluetooth settings on my car stereo, but i'm 90% sure that it doesn't have, because this is the first phone that doesn't connect automatically.
I have had similar issues with mine, it will pair with my Kenwood DNX520VBT but wont auto connect.
however i now have a workaround
Turn bluetooth on your GS2 first, then turn on you Radio. once my Radio boots up it initiates the connection and auto connect works.
if i turn on the bluetooth on my GS2 after my radio it never works.
ive got a sony bt3700 stereo, it connected perfectly with my samsung wave, i just upgraded to a galaxy s and i have to do it manually every time so its not the stereo.
Same thing happened to me, old nexus one with CM7 is connecting ok but i have to connect SGS2 manually or make sure that my bluetooth is ON on my phone before i start the car.
I may have the answer......
Hi,
I have a sort of work around.
My Pioneer head unit refuses to auto connect to my SGS2 and I have to do it manually (I connect from the radio in 4 clicks but thats not the point). This was driving me nuts as previous handsets I owned connected within 5 seconds of being in the car.
I then discovered ROMS and went for the Criskelo ROM and it put me on Android Version 2.3.6 (Not sure if that made a difference or its actually the ROM).
Now with that sorted I found that I have an extra function in my bluetooth settings. When I make the device visible I can then choose the visible time-out length. If I set this to NEVER then I have no problems connecting to the headunit everytime I get in my car.
The only problem I have with this is that I pop my phone into Airplane Mode each night and because that disables the bluetooth it loses the time-out setting so I have to put the time-out back to never each morning.
With setting the time-out to never I'm not sure what battery drain is like because I'm constantly on my phone and my battery depletes rapidly anyway but it seems like a fix for now.
I hope this makes sense and helps people out until a proper fix becomes available.
Cheers,

Hi All,
Sorry for bumping an old-ish thread, but it seemed the most appropriate thread, and better than creating a new one of the same topic!
This is what I believe to be true:
*IF* Bluetooth is enabled on the GS2 (and the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit) then when the car is turned on, it will auto-connect to the GS2
*IF* Bluetooth is NOT enabled on the GS2 (and the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit) then when the car is turned on, it will NOT connect to the GS2 (understandably!).
*IF* the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit, and the bluetooth on the GS2 is enabled *AFTER* the car has been started, it does NOT Auto-Connect.
From this, I assume that when the car is powered on, it searches for previously paired handsets in order of most recently connected first. If it finds one, then it WILL connect.
Now:
If I leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone, the battery is significantly depleted my mid-afternoon.
I've started using an app which uses the "rough location" (not GPS) to monitor where the phone is located. If it deemed to have moved in X period of time, then it enables bluetooth.
This is great, and works a charm ... BUT it does mean that bluetooth stack on the GS2 is enabled AFTER the car has been moving for a period of time, and thus does NOT auto-connect.
What I've been searching for is:
"When BT stack is enabled on GS2, can it look for previously paired devices and initiate the connection itself?" (Rather than the car connecting to it?) Is there a script or app to do this?
Hi WTFH,
I think it might be more headunit specific. I always have my bluetooth on but it wont connect automatically to my headunit unless I have it set to constantly discoverable (on the handset).
I also use a power saving program called Green Power Premium which will cut bluetooth/data/wifi after a certain amount of time when the phone is in a sleep state. Its great fro saving power as my phone isnt constantly looking for a wifi signal (I don';t use it to control my bluetooth though as I need it on for my car).
Hey DJ_sploits,
Thanks for that ... Yes, I understand that some headsets do not auto-connect to the GS2 if the phone is NOT visible.
But what does seem to be constant is that the GS2 will not auto-connect to any of the headsets if the bluetooth stack on the GS2 is enabled AFTER the headset has come online and available.
One workaround I'm thinking of is:
Enabling a profile which says "When connected to a power source (I'll have to use the power adaptor) then enable bluetooth". Connecting my phone to the power first before starting the car should enable the BT stack before the headset tries to connect.
In fact I could extend this to say "Only enable bluetooth when using power adaptor, and not connected to wifi".
It's still a pain to do this though, as I tend to just jump into the car and don't want to faff about with connecting this and that.
The only other work around I use is to set the visiblity to constant (depending on what android software version you are on). My headunit always picks the phone up if I have it setup like this. the only thing with that is it will eat the battery even more (which is annoying considering there are other phones out there that constantly have their bluetooth on and you never see the battery getting hammered).
The only flaw I can see in your method is the fact you need a power source to knock on the bluetooth. Great for powersaving but it would then mean you would have to remember to connect it to a car charger everytime you got in the car (not too bad if you have it constantly plugged in to the cigarette lighter) and as you set this can be a bit of a faff.
The only way I can see in sorting this is using a power saving app but having your visibilty constantly on for the bluetooth and then we just hope it doesnt eat the battery too much (not to bad for me as I have a charger at work but could be a pain for others). The only problem with this (apart from the battery issue) is that if you knock the bluetooth off or knock the phone to airplane mode (as I do at nights) then when you knock the bluetooth back on it forgets that you want it to be constantly visible so you have to go through the settings and check the box
Hello, I just bought a Xperia S and I did not reach in connection it to my Built-in bluetooth system (a parrot built-in kit in a Citroen). The pjone can see the system but I'm not able to make the system pairing.
I already had difficulties in the past with an X10 but it was linked to Android 1.6 and with my Samsung Galaxy S2 under Cyanogen7. I have no issue to conenct with Nokia E6, iPhone 4 or Android 2.3.X smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire,...).
I think that it could come from the BT stack used by Sony or from their Android adaptation and I don't think I would be able to pair the system till an update could be released or perhaps with ICS.
Does somebody has the same difficulty or a solution ?
Best regards

I had the same issue with my bluetooth IO player.First time when I added it after that it would not connect. Turned bluetooth off and on and automatically connected. Might be worth restarting your phone. If the phone can add it then it should be able to connect to it.
Hello, I do,'t know where to reset my car BT as it is a built-in. One solution could be to remove the fuse....
It is not a question of connexion as I'm not able to pair the BT device and the Xperia.
I have no issue with all the other phones !!!
I have a 2009 Ford Mondeo and my Xperia S paired with the integrated bluetooth unit without any issues. Can browse phone book and call log without any issues and obviously make/receive calls.
Hi Guys,
Im having a real bluetooth issue with my SXS and Merc...I can connect and pair fine, however randomly the phone keeps disconnecting.. ive had this working fine with a Iphone4s and lumia 800 so i dont think its the MB side of things...can anyone shed some light on this?
Hello,
I have upgraded to Android 4.1.2 and my Kernel is JZ054K.I9100XWLSD. Since the upgrade I face problems with bluetooth. Everytime I conncect via bluetooth to our car telephone system (Audi), I get connected. After 30s I get reconnected than connected again. I had version 4.0.4 before and did not have any problems with bluettooth connections to my car. Does anyone have an idea? Does the 4.1.2 in general has this problem? How to fix it?
Thank you very much for any suggestion ort support!
That's strange. How did you update? Does is connect as rSAP or only with Handsfree profile? Did you already try to remove the pairing from the car and to do a new pairing?
I updated three days ago using KIES from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and I do not have any problems with connection to my VW FSE Premium. Everything is working like before I didn't even need to do a re-pairing, the old configuration was still working.

I updated via WiFi. Re-paring was not necessary. I switched not to visibility from 2 Minutes to always. Need to see, if this helps.
I do not need to set/change the visibility on my phone. I switch on bluetooth and when I enter my car, the car "takes" the sim card. When I switch off bluetooth or leave my car, the phone is getting access back to the sim card.

I've had similar issues with my SGS2 on ICS and now with 4.1.2 (XXLSJ). I'm convinced the problem is a combination of the phone's current processes and how often the car kit retries to connect. I have a Parrot based bluetooth kit factory fitted in my 2006 Mitsubishi. It usually connects within about 20 seconds of starting the car. It often won't connect for about a minute and sometimes doesn't connect at all (maybe 1 in 20 times). When it doesn't connect, I turn off bluetooth in the SGS2 wait about 15 seconds and turn it back on. It usually connects again without touching the car kit.
I've noticed that if I unpair the car kit at the SGS2, the car kit will try to reconnect about once a minute and the phone makes a noise to tell me that something is trying to connect.
Recently I took a vacation and rented a 2012 Toyota Camry and paired my SGS2 to its bluetooth. The phone connected faultlessly very time, there were no issues.
My theory is that if the phone is busy with some process or another when the bluetooth kit tries to connect, it misses the connection. If the kit retries several times (I'm guessing the Toyota kit did this), then there seem to be no issues.
I can only guess that if the SGS2 bluetooth stack is given a higher priority it would be less likely to miss the connection. Clearly that's impractical because bluetooth only needs to connect (maybe) 3-5 times a day and may exclude a more frequently used process.
Just my 2 cents worth - I hope that helps

Actually, we own two SGS2 phones: Both pair with our Audi telephone kit. The first reconnects after 30 sec./ 1 minute and then reconnects. The later stays connected. However, if I try to use the phone to dial a number via the Audi telephone unit.....the Audi telephone unit starts to dial and then stucks. The first phone is able to dial.....as I have seen in the web others seem to have the same problem with SGS 2 4.1.2. I even bought BLUETOOTH KEEPALIVE...no succces. With version 4.0.4 neither of the phones had a problem with paring with the Audi device. Any other ideas?
Same for me
Im also having the same issue, I have a SEAT Altea and after upgrading to JB on my S2 i have exatly the same issue.
Connecting to the Blue Tooth now takes a lot longer than previously and i get a rapid reconnection about every 30 seconds or so (could be slightly longer i havent measured it). There is no disconnect sound from the hands free though only a conneciton sound.
Please post if you find a resolution to the issue.

Problems with Bluetooth
Hi All,
I have the same problem. I upgraded to 4.1.2 recently and immediately after all was OK. However now it has developed a new problem.
It will connect to the Car Bluetooth and will play music however the minute I start a call it will only use the small speaker designed for when you hold it to your ear. I will not allow me to press the headset button and will not automatically switch to headset/Bluetooth. This is seriously irritating and I have tried all the usual options of rebooting and unpairing etc. but to no avail...
Your pearls of wisdom would be gratefully received

I report the same issue between my SGS2 and my '04 BMW 3-series.
With the 4.0.3 ICS no problems: the phonebook is shared correctly and visibile with the car, without loosing the connection.
Starting from 4.1.2 JB I'm not able to keep up the connection for more than 30 seconds, and I cannot read also the phonebook: in this way the phone cannot be used in the car.
The only way to have JB and the bluetooth working togheter is to install a custom ROM (4.2.2 SuperNexus or RootBox 4.2).
Try it!:good:
Install File Manager which can access system files
go to System/etc/bluetooth
in file called main.conf add
IdleTimeout=0
save file - it worked for me
