I have managed to pair my phone with my parrot hands free unit in the car. How ever it will not remember the pairing, and each time I step into the car I must manually pair, any ideas?
hmm... from past experiences from SGS1 and SNS
they are bound to automatically re-connect to my car for BT audio streaming, i use it practically everyday
that being said, the experience is the same with past old phones like Treo and Windows phones, although those had some minor annoyances. similar to what you have just described specially the windows phones.
so, it might be possible the SGS2 BT audio profile might not be fully compatible with your car BT receiver.
does it automatically pickup phone calls using the BT headset (handsfree) profile ?
Same here too! Sometimes with my Motorola S7HD or my Sony car stereo x.x
I'd have to go to Settings -> Wireless network -> Bluetooth and manually pair them myself. Ugh.
Any fix for this guys?
I know it sounds silly but after pairing are you accepting the notification to always allow it to pair?

I have this problem with my landrover bluetooth, (I have to pair each time I use the car) However I have never seen a notification to 'always allow it to pair' am I doing something wrong? or is there a setting somewhere that I have missed.

In my case the problem is not actual pairing. I have a Pioneer bluetooth car stereo. It has been paired but for it to see the S2, the phone must be made visible each time. Despite being paired it still needs to be made visible.
Despite extensive searches, I have never found a way to make it permanently visible. There is a silly timer which turns off visibility after 120 seconds.
Previously, with my old Windows 6 and even Windows 5 phone, I used to just go into my car and go - no fiddling with phones - never even took it out of my pocket. Now I need to make it visible each time and this really bugs me.
Don't tell me it is more secure - that's my choice and should not be Android's choice.

have you tried editing the /system/etc/bluetooth/main.conf file
there is a line
#how long to stay discoverable mode before going back to non-discoverable
#The value is in seconds, (0=stay pairable forever)
DiscoverableTimeout =120
Needless to say try it at your own risk, you will probably need a rooted phone and something like root explorer to edit the file.
Hope this helps

I too have the same problem. My Philips SHB1400 does not get auto paired. I have manually pair it when ever I want to make a call. Never had this problem with same BT Headset and Nokia 5800

I tried that but I am afraid it doesn't work. I think other people have also tried it in other threads and it does not work either. The timer stays at 120 secs
has anyone tried playing with the blacklist file in the above directory? I tried renaming it and rebooting but it made no difference for me, but my Landrover is not specificaly blacklisted.
Pairing bluetooth with Caddy SRX.... NOT....
I downloaded the Bluetooth File Transfer app and that worked for awhile ... off and on ...... but hasn't worked for two weeks now. I've been to Cadillac - I've been to ATT store - everything is checked correctly that needs to be. This has been ongoing issue for a year now. Any other new updates about this problem ?
Thanks.
I do not get the 'notification to always allow it to pair' on some devices but do on others.
Anyone know why?
I am trying to pair a Uniden cordless phone and keep getting the pin request every time I connect.
While on my car I do get the always allow pair request and everything is fine.
Tried connecting various devices to my rooted Photon via Bluetooth and ran into some issues...
-My Motorola S9 earphones pair up just fine (go figure, made by Motorola).
-Tried to connect to my desktop for OBEX and the phone is only being recognized as a Dial Up Network connection. There is no option given for OBEX.
-Tried to connect to my MS Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000 to use with the dock. The phone recognizes it and tries to pair with it, but it asks me to type a passcode to confirm the connection, can't input the code from the keyboard side, so the connection fails.
Anyone else having any issues with Bluetooth? I know my desktop supports OBEX and just about any other Bluetooth profile so I don't think the problem is with the computer. The same for the keyboard, since I use it with my computer with no issues. I'm pretty sure the issues are with the Bluetooth profiles on the Photon...
I have the 6000 keyboard and there is a bit of a dance you have to do in order to pair it with an Android device. I had figured this out from trying to pair it with my gtablet. When it asks for the passkey you need to type a 4 digit number on the phone and on the keyboard. The dance part is that you also have to hit enter on the keyboard right after you type the passkey on it and have hit the button on the phone. It will take you a couple of times to get the timing right but it will work. The first time I got it to work with my gtablet it took several minutes of messing with it to get it to pair.

Has anyone come across this before: my obd2ecu adapter keeps asking for a pin every time I connect. Once connected it's fine until I close the app but next time it asks again...... this used to work fine on my one x and my s2.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
My Galaxy Nexus is doing the same thing with my new Passat's Bluetooth connection.
I had to make my GN discoverable and initiate the pairing from the car, which I think might be part of the problem. When the phone isn't in the car, the car doesn't show up in the list of paired bluetooth devices, and when I start the car, it asks for the PIN twice and pairs... without me setting my phone discoverable.
Thoughts, anybody?

Mine is doing the same ???
Got the Arctic P311 bluetooth headphones and tried to pair them to my prime.
It Pairs and then drops to available devices, I go to pair it again and it tells me that it cannot pair because of incorrect pin or passkey.
There is no spot to put in the pin or passkey
While it was connected I was able to go into settings for the device and it shows a change name field and media and phone
It does not stay connected long enough to do anything and while connected does not have audio
Stays connected for about 10 seconds
I have no roms or firmware just up to date android system.
Have seen that other people have these connected to there prime without problem.
If it helps, tried to connect a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard and it connects then immediately gos back to available each time i try to pair it
Hello,
I have problem or maybe I just need a new pair of glasses, I have updated my HTC One S (Vallec) to this unofficial release:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527962
and now I can not pair with my handsfree via bluetooth.
When i try to pair with it, it says incorrect PIN, but there is nowhere I can enter the PIN for pairing. Is there any way to enable PIN entry when pairing with device?
Thank you
