I know there is a known Bluetooth problem with HOX+ but mine has only just started - looking for help...
I've been using a 2nd gen Jawbone ear piece since I got my HOX+ in November. Over the last few months midd call it'll effectively loose the connection by switching sound in and out as if I had it in my hand up to my ear. The problem is that the device remains connection (bluetooth icon shows connection) so I have to power off then on again my ear piece to reconnect.
This can happen all over again, and again....
The same happens when I use different Bluetooth eat pieces which is what leads me to think it's the handset rather than the earpiece.
Amy thoughts or suggestions??

Hi everyone,
I searched the forums to see if anyone else was having bluetooth reception and range issues but came up short.
I'm having problems keeping my Plantronics Voyager Pro + headset connected to the phone. I usually have to have it within 3 feet of the phone, or I get a lot of static or BT disconnects completely. What's weird is I am able to stay connected up to 20 feet away with my Jabra bluetooth speaker. I recently bought a hard plastic case for the phone which made the problem a little worse, but not too much (5 feet range vs 3 or 4).
Anyone else having this issue? I just bought the phone on 12/17 and I think I have 30 days to exchange or return. Are there any fixes out there that have worked for anyone?
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!
*** Update: I just re-paired my Voyager Pro + headset with my old HTC HD2 and was able to walk about 25 feet away from the phone (two walls in between) and had no static or disconnects. Must be the Amaze. ***
I've been using the Motorola S305, and I can be two rooms away, and still get good reception from the phone, so long as doors are open. Like every bluetooth headset I've used, getting my body between the phone and the headset is a problem (phone needs to be in a pocket on the same side of my body as the headset BT receiver). The quality of the bluetooth on this phone seems to be superior to that of my old N1. No complaints.
Thanks Dave. Are Bluetooth issues such as these hardware or software issues?
Get new earphones.

I called T-Mobile and they said the bluetooth connectivity/range problem is a known issue for the Amaze 4G. HTC is currently working on a solution that will likely be resolved on the next software update.
Off I go to buy a set of wired earphones until they release it.
Curious--I wonder why I'm having no difficulties, then. I've connected the Amaze to my N1, the amaze to my ASUS Transformer, and the Amaze to my S305 headset, all with no problems.
Not all the profiles I'd like to see supported necessarily are (Can't get DUN to work), but I'm puzzled that there's apparently some problem.
It's interesting that your Voyager worked so well with the HD2.
On the Tmobile forums, there's certainly discussion:

So far I have talked on BT with no issues. I set the phone on my desk and I walk around my room without issues, distance is no more than 10 feet, but works without issues.
Get the latest updates for you phone. Delete the pairing with your Bluetooth then pair again. I have a Jawbone Era and my reception was horrible. My reception is much better now after updating and pairing again, although I still have a long delay between phone and Bluetooth.
Only issue I have is delay when making call. Recieving the call is fine

I have a hard time connecting to my car's bluetooth. I have to play around with the settings until it links up but that's such a hassle. Also, I noticed that after turning bluetooth on, I would sometimes lose signal. Weird..
I'm sure this has come up but Im using Tapatalk and the search feature will not allow me to search posts in one forum that I know od. I get results from whole site.
I have a Streak 5 with no sound coming from phone ear piece. Speaker phone and bluetooth are fine. Is this a hardware or software problem?

I have had this same problem but it comes and goes - with mine when the earpiece is failing the ringtone is also affected. I keep the vibrate on - that way I can tell if the problem is happening and then enable the speaker phone when answering a call.
Some people on the web say it's software others say the opposite.
Mine is intermittent so I'd guess it's hardware, maybe a bad contact or failing part.
Found this spares supplier, thought about replacing the earpiece.

Let it's know if you find a fix
Had the same problem...earpiece speaker not working...it seems that the earphone jack socket had slightly moved & not making good contact. Used a jewelers screwdriver to shift it back & now not a prob...
I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro HD Headset that worked fine on my OG EVO.
I've experienced and tested a bit.
About a minute into a call, it drops the headset and jumps over to the phone, then comes back a minute or two later.
I've updated the firmware and repaired the headset just in case.
Anybody experienced a similar problem or have any ideas?
Edit: It 'may' be related to having wi-fi on at the same time. Still more experimenting.
I have this very same issue.
Those must be the free Wire Fly headsets

I wish the headset was free. It would irritate me less. As it is, it's a very expensive headset.
I will try one of my other headsets later this week.
I have this problem on my epic 4g I'm blaming it on too much WiFi signals in the area, seems better in areas without WiFi eg the car.
Haven't tried it much on the EVO LTE much so far

Either way, it's a problem with the phone, not the headset or WiFi signals. I have an iPhone that does not exhibit this issue, as well as a RAZR Maxx that does not exhibit this issue.

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.

I've been searching here and in other forums about this issue that I'm having and I'm not sure if someone else is having the same issue.
I have 2 earphones, one is the one that came out of the box (HTC with black flat wires and red earplugs) and also bought an HTC urBeats headset (red round cable with heavy metal black earplugs).
Every after a call, there's a loud static cracking sound that happens and it's getting pretty annoying specially when you had the call in the highest volume.
Is there anyone experiencing this? Is it a unit issue, software issue... need help!
Yes!! So far as I can tell, it only happens with HTC wired headsets. In my case it started happening suddenly about 3 weeks ago, and I thought it was related to using an old car charger that had a faulty connection. I've had my M8 since it was released, and originally was just using a fairly cheap set of Sony miked headphones, and never noticed the (to me) painfully jarring screech noise upon disconnect until I used the HTC ones that came with the phone. No static with Jaybird Bluebudz Bluetooth headset. I don't know what is causing it for certain though.

I noticed that it does not happen with bluetooth connected devices. I have a Jlab Crasher and calls works well too.
Has anyone tried other earphones? I'm wondering if it's isolated to HTC earphones or wired earphones in general.
With mine, I just confirmed it happens on all wired headphones, not just the stock ones. Initially it was just on the OEM headphones. Another thing that happened on both the OEM and my basic mic'd Sonys is that it will disconnect the call I'm on. I hope I don't have a defective headphone jack. Really don't want to have to return this thing.
