[Q] Bluetooth issue with Jaguar XF 2.2 sport - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have an issue with bluetooth connectivity on my new Galaxy s3 and my car. I have been on the Jaguar forums and members have told me they have had no issues and one has suggested...
''Perhaps the stock ROM is the problem? The xda developers Web site has plenty of information on the S3 and custom ROMs; it may be worth a look.''
Basically the issue is that on occasions I get in the car start up drive off and phone connects fine with all phone book/last dialled numbers etc Other times it connects but will not download phone book or last dialled functions...other times it will not even connect and I have to manually go through the touch screen on my car to reconnect...which guess what...sometimes works and sometimes is unsuccesful!
I would dare say I am the least technical person on these boards so wondering if anyone has any advise/instructions on what I can do, or if anyone has encountered similar issues

Bluetooth Profiles on Hero

Hi everybody.
I've read at a couple of places that the Hero does not include any sim / phonebook remote access profiles which means I cannot sync my contacts with my Parrot CK3100 car kit.
I'm wondering if anyone knows why HTC would have removed this profile from their build when it was working perfectly as part of the standard cupcake build.
And also whether it is likely that HTC will reinstate this profile through future updates?
Speculation or definite answers welcome!
I'm also having this problem, as well as getting the phone to automatically reconnect when the phone and handset find eachother. Any body any ideas?
Ask Google why they STILL haven't added a full BT stack. It's the same for both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic aswell. UNLESS you wander the way of the rooters ofcourse. Then you will be able to use all those nifty little tools only the rooters can use.
I think that Google is a little bit slow on this subject tbh. But then again I have no idea of what they prioritize either. Maybe they have a BT stack but they feel it has some serious security issues? ONLY Google knows. Well... a couple of XDA's hardcore hackers might know too... isn't Haykuro around somewhere?
I have rooted my phone (yesterday). Can anyone suggest any tools that may help with this? Appreciate any help anyone cab give!
no problems here
hello i have just got my hero and im still learning the in's and outs of the device as i have come from a WM device, but have loads of success so far.
I have a in car bluetooth system and i have no problems with connecting, and searching my sim card for contacts.
The problem i do have though is that it will not read my phone contacts just the sim.
Its not a big problem as i on a regular basis back up the phone memory to the sim anyway in case i have to switch phones.
Im not sure why you guys are having problems but im happy to help in anyway.
I haven't rooted my device as i see no reason to just yet its all stock, and runs like a dream.
I have a ford mondeo with the STD sony system in it if that helps, oh and it connects as soon as i get in the vehicle
I think I may have cracked this:
I stuck a random contact on my SIM card, the Parrot handsfree now finds all of the contacts on the phone, and automatically links to the phone when in proximity. Odd, but adding that contact seems to have unlocked remote sim access.
Give it a try!
same here ... added one contact onto my sim, then full access to contacts!
Works very well with the Land Rover Bluetooth PTI (designed by Nokia as it happens). Full contact list navigation on the stereo head unit.
I am having a similar issue with an in car BT head unit. I have a Pioneer DEH-P7100BT. I have had problems connecting the hero to this. It starts contacts download and stops at contact number 14 for some reason. I have tried to delete the 14th contact but still gets stuck at 14. I have all my contacts backed up on the sim as well.
It is also proving to be an issue automatically connecting to the head unit when I get into the car. I resolve that by switching the BT off and then on again, then it connects OK. Not ideal.
The wifey has an Iphone 3GS and that connects to the unit every single time. No connection issues at all.
The BT Audio option works a charm with both the Hero and the 3GS. I usually play Last FM and Imeem over 3G and stream via BT to the head unit, pretty cool over all, if only I could sort out the connection issues with the HERO.
I just got the hero a couple of days ago, and although I am loving it, I really cant stand the lag in absolutely everything. I am having problems even accepting calls sometimes as it realises I have just clicked the receive call button after 10 seconds or so.

Mine does it the opposite way - reads the phone memory and not the sim memory. It's taken me 2 days to complete changing the profiles of people so far as I couldn't figure out why active sync wasn't working.

[Q] BLuetooth only works for few cm/inch

Hello to you all,
I've a problem with my HD2 with cht2 custom rom.
The bluetooth is working well but for like 25cm only.
I search on treads on this forum an Tweakers ans on google.
But i couldn't find a solution for 5 day's already.
Maybe one of you is common with the issue.
Is there a soul out there that can help me please?
Kind regards,
SvdBent
I have the same exact problem, but different phone, rom and headset.
It seems intermittent, some times I connect my bluetooth and it works fine, other times I connect and it sounds like a bad stereo connection with static unless I have the phone right right next to the headset, and if it is too far away (~ five feet) it will not even connect.
No other bluetooth devices around but my laptop which has the bluetooth disabled usually, and I can turn my laptop's bluetooth on and test the headset on Skype with no problem - so it has to be the phone.
A side note, I also can not hear the person on the phone if someone calls and it is connected to the PC, but that might be a completely separate problem - and this is also why I turn the bluetooth off on my laptop.
Phone: AT&T Tilt (aka Kaiser, TyTN2)
ROM: WM6.5 HyperDragon IV Mega WWE (10/30/09)
Radio: 1.65.24.36
Headset: Plantronics Voyager 510
Any ideas?
EDIT:
And of course the search is broken ("Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 20-30 minutes."), so I can't search the ROM thread for the problem, and Google was no help, seems this is a rare problem.
EDIT 2:
And now it works fine again...only thing that changed was my battery died from tethering. Could it be Wireless interfering with Bluetooth.....one sec...
OMG, I can't believe I never put figured this out! IT WAS THE WIFI!!! Have had this phone for two years, dont remember when I first noticed it, as they say, I never put two and two together - I never realized it only happened when I was using the Wifi. What causes this and how can it be fixed??

[Q] Bugs or is it just me?

I was one of the first to buy the HTC Titan here in Norway.. I love the phone and it's big screen, but still I need to ask about some bugs...
1. Freezing: Sometimes the touchscreen just freezes up. It usually freezes during a game or other app that uses some resources. This is pretty annoying..
2. Dial tone: Sometimes when dialing, the dialtone is put through the back speaker of the phone and it makes this very loud noise, almost like an old phone from the 90s. It's just happening totally random, and is also pretty annoying bacause it's really loud for the ear you have next to ur phone.
3. Voice control: This is totally useless. I saw a comparison on the HTC Titan vs. the HTC HD7.. The HD7 worked every time, and the Titan just kept on failing every task. How about testing the phones before they are released HTC?
4. WIFI drop: I've also experienced some WIFI issues. Sometimes the phone just don't wanna connect at all. But when I restart the WIFI connection or sometimes take a reboot it works again. There's no bugs on the WIFI with other devices or what so ever, so this must be a bug aswell.
I really think HTC need to step it up with correcting bugs. I remember buying the HTC HD2 when it came out and that one also suffered major flaws in the code. It's maybe the lack of good drivers that's causing all this bugs in the HTC phones? Anyhow, I need a phone that's totally bugfree and I think HTC needs to put more effort into doing just so!

1. Never had any freezes
2. Never noticed this problem
3. Voice control isnt available in my region so cant say
4. Never had any wifi problems, and i use it all the time
hi i had the same problems took it back got a replacement and the phone had the same problems in the end just changed phone completely phones4u had no idea why it was doing it
1. Never had any freezes
2. Never noticed this problem
3. In czeh location voice control isnt available
4. Never had any wifi problems.
1,2 and 3 : never seen this so far on my HTC Titan
4: Yes, I have exactly same issues with Wi-Fi. It seems like it is little slow on connecting to networks and sometime it just doesn't connect until I press on the network (although it was connecting to it before). It seems to me like phone is using less energy for WiFi to save battery but that does not produce good user experience.
1) Played a few games and apps and never experienced any freeze issues.
2) I'm not sure is loud for me but i'm OK with it. Same as my SGS II
3) Never had HD7 so I cant do any comparison but been playing with it since i got my phone. Never missed any of my word (except some weird chinese language that I tested )
4) Wifi too never an issue for me.
Just got my phone today so I haven't experience all your issues yet. Will check time to time again in near future.
I havent experienced any of the issues you describe. Sounds to me like you should swap it out as a faulty unit and see if another Titan behaves itself for you.
1. Freezing: none experienced. If nothing happened whilst the finger was on the screen, it was due to a cold finger.
2. Dial tone: have not encountered this yet.
3. Voice control: you're lucky to have voice control. No voice control on the Dutch ROMs.
4. WIFI drop: I have experienced this a couple of times. After two or three retries with reconnecting WiFi I get a connection and three bars on the icon. I tested this twice with my HTC HD2. While the phone said it was connected to WiFi but with no bars, my HD2 was completely WiFi connected with a working connection. At both tests there was enough bandwidth for both phones. normally both phones work well on the same wifi connection. These instances were not regular though 95% of the time I had no issues with WiFi on my Titan.
An new issue that I've found in Bluetooth.
I cannot connect my Titan to the microsoft bluetooth keyboard 6000. Anyone else run into this issue or know a solution?
OK good to hear that u guys don't have the same problems as I do..
The dial tone problem could be a carrier problem, because a friend of mine experience the same thing on his titan as well..
The freeze issue continue to be a mystery then.. Need to run some tests
Thanx for all the answers

++1 - frequent WIFI drops and WIFI connectivity problems (connection broken etc.) compared to my other devices (SGS2, Galaxy Tab 10.1 - work flawless)
No problems here. Best phone I have owned.
No such problems with my titan. It Works fine for me.

None of the listed issues at all with my titan, I would ask for a replacement
frequent WIFI drops and WIFI connectivity problems here too.
Hope to get a update from HTC soon

Anyone else having a bluetooth issue with their htc Titan. Not only does the connection to my bluetooth keyboard not work, I can also not connect to another phone. I tested it with my HD2 and Samsung Galaxy Note. It seems to be a valid problem. The connection does work with regard to finding bluetooth devices, but I get an error, stating that the device is not compatible with the Titan??!! Does anyone know the cause or fix to this problem?
No,it is not caused by the phone this a feature of windows phone 7. Bluetooth can be used for the handsfree only.
I haven't those problems except wifi, sometimes it drops, but a few times of thousands, this is because of the metal case wich absorbs signal.
I have found only a bug: when you add a twitter account, during the synchronization it fails when synchronize contacts. But that is not the worst, windows live mail gets the same error when synchronizes and you can't get your mail either. If you delete the twitter account, the problem with windows live mail persists, even sometimes the twitter account deleted... becomes active again!
The exactly error is: We have problems synchronizing with m.hotmail.com. Not synchronized: Name: Twitter Contacts. The file couldn't be synchronized in your phone. Last attempt XXh. Error 86000206 (i'm writting what i remember)
I have not found any solution. Somebody tells that you can solve it deleting the twitter account, activating it later again, and synchronizing again... but it doesn't works for me
HTC Titan over here
I have wifi issue too. (WiFi stop working and show full signal. When i go away of signal still full) Turn off and on again wifi fix it.
Next problem is with touchscreen when batery level is low (less then 15%). sometimes screen not responding.
I have not encountered any of the mentioned Issues, but it might help o know if you are using the 1.08 or 1.09 bootloader as the new version apparently fixes some bugs.

[Q] Bluetooth Media & Phone between LG G3 & Pioneer FH-P8000BT

I recently got my LG G3 a few days ago and I've been having trouble getting media to play through my aftermarket head unit (Pioneer FH-P8000BT).
I had used it via Bluetooth with my HTC Incredible, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 all with (for the most part) no issues streaming Pandora, Google Play Music, etc. The only time Bluetooth gave me trouble is on my S3 whenever i loaded an ASOP ROM, it would have a hard time connecting but it would be intermittent. Any TouchWiz roms, no issues (the Galaxy Nexus never had any problems no matter the ROM).
With the G3 I just got I had first performed a factory reset so it's 100% stock (rooted). I had also cleared the memory on my Pioneer unit.
When first connecting, it goes through without any problems and I'm able to stream media. The moment I shut my car off then turn it back on, it's unable to connect media audio (phone still works). And it had the same issue regardless of if the app is closed out or open and even restarted the phone.
I got the unit back in 2008 so I realize it's using an older version of Bluetooth and it looks like Pioneer dropped support as there are 0 firmware updates since it's been released. I saw another post (different forum) about someone having similar issues connecting their G2 to the same HU however they responded LG had released an update and they've been working since.
I'm almost tempted to upgrade the unit but would rather wait for Android Auto to come out. Hoping anyone in the forums knows a fix and can help out.
Thank you!

Bluetooth handling Android vs IOS

Hi,
First of all my apologies if this is the wrong place but at this point I think only a developer could point me in the right direction if there is one.
I spent a lot of time driving for work and I have all my family overseas therefore, Whatsapp and Skype calls are the way to go for me.
I drive an old 2007 Seat with OEM bluetooth that is controlled from the steering wheel. However due to the age is "Calls only" and it handles the phone perfectly well.
I have a Note 3 with the latest Magma NX Rom (did it yesterday) and it beautiful. My problem is this, my wife's iPhone SE handles whatsapp calls and skype calls with ease. I can accept and reject calls from the wheel. My friend's 6s too. However with my note 3 the call comes through although the Dash shows my own number calling and the call gets through and then the link is dropped after 10-15 second (not the call). I also tried it with a stock J5 and the same thing. I tried many of those BT Mono Router, Sound about etc but no difference. I also looked endlessly and wrote in different forums and no luck. This seems to be an OS issue but I find it strange that I am the only one experiencing this and more strange that there is no solution.
If anyone can think of why this happens and if there is a solution I would be very grateful indeed.
Cheers!
