After the pairing procedure for the Galaxy SII to the Vehicle (uconnect), it works fine. Turning off the phone and back on, still remains paired. However, if we were to turn off the bluetooth and GPS for battery life on the phone and then turn it back on when I want to pair, the phone looses the memory of the pairing and we need to re-pair it. This wouldn't be a huge deal except that uconnect make you delete the pairing phone and resync it, a real pain in the @$$. Did you experience this and am I missing something that can be done in the phone setting to not loose the pairing when bluetooth is turn off/on on the phone.
Thanks

Never had a problem with mine losing pairing. Has another device been able to hold a pairing to it in the past?
What's a "uconnect"? It doesn't rely on remote power being hooked up correctly by any chance does it?

Sorry about that. Uconnect is the Bluetooth service installed on Dodge vehicles in North America.
The Uconnect holds 2 phones, in my case a Blackberry and the GSII. If I was to turn off Bluetooth on the blackberry and then later reactivate it, the blackberry does not forget the pairing and they pair with no problem. However, if I was to turn off the Bluetooth on the GSII, it seems to forget and I need to start the whole pairing process all over again.
EDIT: lol, I'm a product of French Canadian bilingualism, I can't spell for crap
I keep my BT on full time, but just out of curiosity i followed your steps and no such issue on my Nissan factory radio bluetooth. Probably some weird compatibility issue.
Hi,
For about a year I have used my GS2 with a Plantronics Savi Go bluetooth headset - I normally leave the phone in its desk cradle and use MyPhoneExplorer to make/answer all my calls and send text messages (I work in a small office with no wired phone at my desk and I sent at least 500 texts/day to coordinate teams working in the field.)
Recently - after returning from a trip - I noticed that the phone and headset would not work together at all if the wifi on the phone was enabled - the headset would connect to the phone and the first 10 seconds or so of every call would be OK, but the level of interference (as heard on the headset) would increase and increase and the headset would inevitably disconnect after about 20 seconds.
With wifi disabled on the phone this does not occur.
The headset works fine with another phone and also connects fine to its Plantronics USB adapter. This headset is designed to remain connected to two devices at once (intended to be the USB adapter and a phone) so you can make calls from either Skype/a voip app or your phone without having to change anything.
I have dropped the phone about a hundred times so I changed the aerial/loudspeaker module (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300715915473) but the interference still occurs.
Is there any way this could be a software issue? I hate updating as I have custom density and all sorts of other settings so my phone is still on the same android 2.3.3 stock ROM that it came with - I have also removed all the Samsung customisations and KIES etc so updating is a pain.
My opinion is that there is no way this could be a software issue and that, as the antenna replacement has not solved the problem, there's probably a hardware problem and I should just toss it and get a Note or another GS2.
However, thinking about it more - the bluetooth and wifi transmitters share the same antenna? Is there any software cooperation to make sure these devices don't try and transmit at the same time or is there hardware gating? Are there filters designed to stop the bluetooth transmitter transmitting directly 'into' the wifi receiver (as they both share the same aerial which is used both for transmit/receive) and are they software or hardware?
My thoughts are definitely hardware but I would welcome the opinions of anyone that really knows how the two transmitters/receivers are meant to work together.
Thanks!
I had always found NFC to be rather gimmicky. Nice to have, but not mandatory. Since getting my Lumia, I have actually discovered a whole different world of convenience that I never realized. Of course, I do have peripherals that take advantage of it, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't still be useful without them.
I have:
1) Nokia 360 Portable BT Speaker
2) Nokia BH-505 Headphones
3) BT Car stereo and NFC stickers
In the morning, I touch my Lumia 920 to my Nokia 360 Speaker and it turns it on, connects, and starts playing my music. I listen to the music while I'm getting ready for work. I ride my motorcycle to work, so when I'm ready to leave, I touch the Lumia to my BH-505 Headphones and the music stops playing on the 360 and starts playing on them. I put them on and ride to work.
When I get into my truck to drive somewhere, I touch the Lumia to a programmed NFC sticker on my dash and it connects to my stereo and starts playing music.
I plan to program a sticker at work as well and possibly one near my wireless charging stand. I never really noticed how annoying it was to manually go into Bluetooth settings and connect to each device until all I had to do was touch it to my phone. I now find NFC to be a very useful feature and one I would have a hard time going without.
The NFC on the Lumia 920 is highly excellent. Much better and smoother than the nfc on the Pureview 808
Where are you getting the NFC stickers from?

Please inform me how and where I can obtain those kind of NFC stickers for Windows phone. I could find a lot of NCF stickers available for Android phones on web.

The Android ones will also work for WP8. Actually all NFC stickers/tags will work with each other... with the exception of mifare (some phones support it, some don't.... lucky for us, WP8 does). Then there are Sony NFC tags/stickers which are of course proprietary, just the way they like everything.
I got one of those beginners kits from tagstand. Worth the money because I ended up getting 3 different sets of 5 tags. 1 set of 5 was the mifare type. I needed to use my wife's Android phone to format them before using them for the Lumia 920 (which can't format them. Win for Android? lol
Either way, as it stands, the abilities of the NFC tags are quite limited at the moment due to the restrictions that Microsoft had put upon WP8 for now. Auto-toggling is not available... so the best that a tag can do is bring up the settings screen for Wifi and Cell Data for toggling. Another issue that I have seem to have found is that WP8 only actions the first record on the tag. :-/ That part sucks big time since I would have to have a tag just to bring up the wifi settings screen then another just for cell data. I hope this opens up more, or someone creates an app to circumvent some of these issues.
as far as i heard apps cant change system settings. so its rather useless isnt it

They are all compatible. NFC stickers are NFC stickers. We have a program now for Windows Phone that lets us program them and they are universal. I'm not sure why the sellers limit their demographic by listing them as being for Android. Perhaps they're simply not aware that NFC exists in other phones.
The only limitation is that the stickers need to be pre-formated as WP8 cannot format them. found that out the hard way
is there a quick on-off-solution for NFC yet as it seems to be quite a battery drainer for me?
I was thinking something like connectivitiy shortcuts similar to WIFI .. ?

I just buy blank ones that are ready to be programmed. I didn't know you could even format them.
I used to leave NFC off all the time, especially after reading battery life threads here, but at some point it turned itself on again (probably after an update to some of the Nokia system apps) and I have been leaving it on. My battery life has been unchanged. I'm not convinced that NFC is the culprit. I literally leave NFC and BT on all the time now and my battery drain isn't noticeably faster than it was with them off.
what action are you writing to the tag to automatically pair the device with a BT accessory? i would really like to be able to do this but i haven't had the time to play around with the stickers i bought recently.
a short write up would be much appreciated

I can't seem to coax this behavior. I do not have any Nokia accessories, but do like to connect and disconnect to my hearing aids. The best I can get is to tap the tag, then I have to allow the action, then bluetooth settings come on. Doesn't save much in the way of interaction for me. How are you say, just getting in your truck - tapping the tag and it automatically connects to the bluetooth in your truck and starts playing music? Or is the tag just starting the music playback, and the bluetooth connection has already been made because you are in range of the device. Please tell me more...What app are you using to program the tags, and what actions from it do the magic???

I may have gotten ahead of myself. I haven't actually programmed any of my NFC stickers yet (haven't had time), so it may not work the way I want it to.
However, both the 360 speaker and headphones automatically turn on, pair, and start playing whatever music is currently playing on my phone, so I would think that would be possible. Unless the peripherals get some kind of special permissions that general NFC does not, which is possible, since I have read that you can't program NFC to turn your BT or Wifi on and off, only take you to the settings menu.
that's why i was wondering how you got it to work, NFC implementation in wp8 currently is almost completely useless and its faster to use an app that pins BT settings to your start screen.
hopefully they change it in an update though, until then, i'll use my android to play with NFC i guess.

Absolutely right, so please visit the page for WP feature suggestions and vote for "NFC tagg system changes"
hxxp://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/3088478-nfc-tagg-system-changes
They ask to "Add NFC options to change many settings at once when you tap nfc tags. E.x. At office nfc tag (data off, wi-fi on, volume 5, brightness high...), at bedroom tag (data off,wi-fi on, vibration, brightness low,...).."
I had to change http to hxxp to post that link, sry, but I'm new here.

Did you have to do anything special to get NFC to work with the 505's? I didn't even realize my 505's had NFC (Since I got them long before I got the 920) and sure enough when I tapped them together I got the NFC pairing tune, but nothing happened. I tried it having my phone stream BT to a music receiver and then tapped the 505's to it and it didn't switch over. I checked under the Nokia accessories section under setting and no devices show up. Thanks!
Hello. I received my Omate US Version, 8Gb a few days ago, stock version of the system (reinstalled after trying the excellent Lokifish Marz firmware).
The Bluetooth connexion seems very poor for music transmission with Bluetooth headsets or speakers; when I move to watch more than 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) away from the Omate interference starts (the music "stutters") and connection stops completely (disconnects) at about 20-30 centimeters. Can't listen to music consistently while moving my arm (... when I walk).
Could there be an hardware issue with the Bluetooth antenna?
I tried rebooting, turning Bluetooth on and off multiple times, even reinstalling the firmware (the issue was present with the Lokifish Marz firmware).
I'm trying to listen simple 128 kbps mp3 (non VBR). (I discovered the issue while listening 192 kbps vbr, I taught it was the problem...).
The only way I manage to have a smooth playback is by putting the Omate in the same pocket as the receptor of the Bluetooth headset, or with a Bluetooth emitter clipped to the watchband (I tried with three different Bluetooth headsets and also a Bluetooth speaker that works perfectly with my other phones.
Thanks for your advices and suggestions.
Lose antenna connector. Request a replacement.
My bluetooth connection to my stereo in my car also stutters and disconnects. I also have a hard time connecting.
Just so folks will not get the wrong idea, on my stock 1/8/1900 TrueSmart with 20140120 firmware, the Bluetooth is excellent for music and phone both in my car or with BT headphones, and BT keyboard. It will also connect to the keyboard and another BT device at the same time. Range is excellent, 15 meters or more.
Lots of other Bluetooth issues, but these reports sound like antenna problems. Assembly on some TrueSmarts was very poorly done.

I've only tried to exercise with it once while using Bluetooth and the same thing happened (switched back to my iPod after 2 minutes). I am currently on stock and plan to go back to the newest patch. I will try on both stock and patch and see if it's still happening. I hope this is indeed not an issue of poor assembly.

Wow, okay just tested (both mp3 and movies stored on both internal and SD). When connect to Bluetooth, any movement causes stutter and pausing. When off bluetooth, no problems.
I've already removed the back cause went I flashed the ROM there were issues that require a battery pull and I installed an SD card. Not to mention, I emailed support over a week ago for another issue (now resolved) and no response.
Hope this can be fixed because this device is worthless if I can't run with it using Bluetooth!
I have a Jabra Sport BT headset. I've used it with 2 different MotoactV and now this TS. Same signal issue on all of them. So I dont think it's the TS. I always had to wear both my MA and now TS on my right hand when using the headset while running.

You have to open the back, remove the battery, unscrew two internal screws to remove a black plastic shield under the battery.
Then you peel a silver sticker off the shield and using a splooger carefully lift the black plastic shield out. The way they assembled the TrueSmart, there is probably areas where white sealant sloppily applied is going to need to be removed enough to get the black plastic out. It should just lift out, but don't count on that...be careful lifting off the charging connector ribbon cable.
Once you are under there, you will see all the antennas for all stuff, including Bluetooth. They pop onto connectors on the main board, like little ball and socket connectors. Your Bluetooth one might just be touching, not popped on - sounds like it. Has been seen before.
Voids all sorts of warranties, probably, but that's your call.

That sounds a little tricky. Everything else works well and I wouldn't want to break anything else. A video would be helpful and knowing exactly there the antenna is for Bluetooth.

Just did some more testing and it seems its not exactly just movement. Whenever the TS is within 1 foot of the Bluetooth device it works much better. 1-2 feet away and it comes and goes with movement. More than 2 feet and no sound. Could this still be a loose antenna?
I get 20-30ft with little issue so I would say yes.
I just want to say that I get stuttering issues in my car stereos connection, but when I connect my plantronics bluetooth headset, I can leave my watch in my room and walk 20 feet away and get perfect call clarity. My watch works perfectly with my bluetooth call headset, but will not work when I'm in my car connecting to my stereo. I would suggest trying to bluetooth connect with several devices, not just headphones, before messing with the antenna connections. At first, I thought it was faulty hardware, but after getting a perfect connection with my headset, I now think the connection on the board is solid, must be something else

I just removed everything and the connect seems to be solid tight. I made sure it was touching anything else and closed it back up very well. Still with the same Bluetooth issue. Funny thing is it works in the car bluetooth okay. I don't have another Bluetooth to test with music but my phone works with the headphones well. Not sure what next. I may install the patch and see if that makes any difference but I'm guessing not?

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 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.

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.

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.
