[Q] Bluetooth pairing no longer working with official ICS update => What should I do
Hi guys,
I upgraded my Arc S and it's now running the official ICS update from Sony.
But now I can't pair my car's bluetooth system anymore (Alfa Blue&Me system).
The phone can see the bluetooth car kit but can't pair with it: tries for one second and stops, never even prompts for the pin code.
This worked perfectly in GB.
Other phones (samsung galaxy s2 and htc one x) with ICS do work with the car, so it's something with this ROM.
Could I resolve this issue by trying another ROM ?
Has this anything to do with the baseband version (70) ?
Any advice is welcome !
I got this problem before I also blamed for Sony too
But I found a solution finally
Try to deauthorize and reauthorize your phone again
The old setting of your phone conflict with ics
Hi,
I did that already, completely wiped the config from the car but won't pair

Hello,
in a few weeks I'll get my new Ford car - equipped with the built-in bluetooth handsfree device. I tried to connect my MDA 3 to this device at several Ford dealers but didn't get any connection.
The MDA finds a "Ford Audio" but can't establish a connection.
Who has any ideas ?
Thanks in advance - Dieter
I have the same problem with a new mondeo...
Everything works with an old nokia 6630 (with a small nokia application I can browse the phonebook as well) but I'm not able to pair the bluetooth ford audio system with my HTC TyTN...
Any ideas?
try using a newer bluetooth stack.
What is a bluetooth 'stack' ?
And how do I change to a newer one?

As far as I know, you'll need to update the Radio portion of your device's ROM based software (the basic software that drives the device).
The best bet in your case I believe would be to just grab a new complete update for your device by searching the wiki for downloads for your device. Download a newer official ROM, install it and try again.
You will lose all saved data on the device though so back it up>
Wiki is here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Did upgrading the bluetooth stack fix this connectivity issue to Ford Audio Bluetooth Handsfree devices?
Same problem. I've tried to upgrade bluetooth stack: my BA finds "Ford Audio" but doesn't connect. Please give us some help

after correct pairing (code 0000), press "Phone" on the caraudio system and then "Menu". After that press left or right joypad on the caraudio to set the "Active Phone". It will search and your phone will be correctly paired.
The last paired phone will be automatically active when you turn on the caraudio system next time.
In some cases will also help to install on the device the JETware application... just try.
Problem Solved!
Thank you dark horse, followed your advice and it worked just fine. I can now connect via bluetooh in my ford.

I have the same, tried Doomkernel, ICS stock and various Rom's (stock, arconium) but all have the same. The pairing with my bluetooth headset works fine but when I try to pair with the car audio (random PIN) the PIN pop-up never shows. With another car with a fixed PIN it works flawless again.
Got the same problem, doesn't pair with my car bluetooth after installing ics arconium on my arc s. With 2.3 this worked flawless.
i got the same problem too when i installed ics
Hey all,
I found a solution for my car bluetooth.
I renamed my car to 1 word (Don't know if it necessary) and I changed my code to 0000. After that my phone connected without asking for a password.
Have Problems with CM9.0 for Arc. My Sony Ericsson MW600 connects but Audio still works over Phone Speakers.
But with Stock Sony ICS Beta Rom it works fine.
can u describe in more detail?
how can u rename "my car to 1 word"?
how can u "changed my code to 0000"?

I've got the same problem, using a Blue&Me system from Alfa Romeo/Fiat.
It generates a random pin and the device is called "blue&me". Won't pair, doesn't even prompt me for a pin code.
Can't rename the car or specify a pincode there.
So help !
Hi All,
tried searching the threads on ICS upgrade with bluetooth and Blue&Me but unfortunately couldn't find much so thought of writing.
I have upgraded to the official sony ICS ROM via PC Companion on my Arc (LT15i).... done a repair... and set it up exactly the way i want to. must say that i loved it and am quite happy with the performance of the phone as well... there's the occasional lag but it isn't too bad as yet.
Now to my problem (and a few other queries)
1) Bluetooth: Has anybody had any success in pairing the bluetooth with another bluetooth device... preferably a car bluetooth system? I had it working perfectly on the GB (.62) ROM and could use the phone via my Fiat Linea's Blue&Me feature. Now i just can'[t pair it.... when i search for devices it does show Blue&Me but when i try to pair it all i get is that wait cursor kinda thing and then back to search devices screen. it just doesn't pair and give me the option to enter the passcode generated by Blue&Me.
2) Has anyone faced any issues in editing contacts which are synched to Google? Thankfully the HD Pics now work as google sync is not resizing them but in some contacts when i try to edit it the screen simply scrolls back to the top. these are linked contacts (Gmail... Facebook... Facebook inside Xperia.... Whatsapp).
thank you very much in advance for any help that the gurus on this forum can give. I'd especially like to get the bluetooth working as i can live with the contacts editing issue!
thanks, Maverick

I had a few issues connecting to my Ford when I was on 4.0.3.
It seems to work ok for me when I initiate the pairing from my car stereo. Then my phone will display the "bluetooth device wants to connect" and allow me to enter the code.
i have exactly the same problem
after updating to ICS on my xperia mini pro i cannot pair to fiat blue and me :-(

i searched but apparently there is no forum where Devs work on B&me hacks :-(
Did you try to clear the old pairing from the stereo? I had to reset the bt on mine. Before the phone would see it ..

Hello
the phone "sees" the blue and me and try do pairs...but no popup asking for the pin appears...i wonder if there is any way to force the phone to ask the pin given my blue and me:-(
I think the problem is with Blue&Me... I've a Parrot and a Chinese GPS integrated in the other Car, and no problem with both of them.
Try to remove the asociation from the Car and then try to pair again. Maybe the Blue&Me assumes the device is the same and the protocol may be different.
In case it doesn't work this way, maybe you need an update from Fiat.

Thanks, i will try this tomorrow and update with my results.
getting something from Fiat is probably never going to happen.... they can't get those teeny weenie yet important spare parts for the car available when you need them most so i doubt they are going to do a B&M upgrade [Country: India]
I had issues at first with my ford but it seems if I initiate pairing from my car stereo, it works fine
Same issue on Subaru forster
have the same issue on Subaru after updating to ICE, the Xperia ARC identify the car media, but it fails (and no pin enter screen)
This is not happening in GB so I guess it is an ICE issue.
Anyone have news on it? or maybe some ROM do support BT?

same problem on mercedes and LT18i (xperia ray) It won't ask the pin. Sometimes I see it connected for less than a second.
I don't have the possibility to connect from car radio, it has te be connected via the phone.

found this whist searching online.
The Workaround:
1) Turn on bluetooth on your smartphone and open a contact card.
2) Start the pairing of hands-free of the car.
3) When the blue & me asks for the code, send the contact via Bluetooth: The phone searches for other devices. Selecting "Blue & Me", you have the opportunity to enter the code presented on the dashboard.
4) Now Blue & Me will ask you to copy the address book: Select "Yes".
5) In the notification bar of smartphone is prompted to connect bluetooth: select "do not ask for more" and accept the request.

I have Galaxy NEXUS yakju, otad stock 4.1.1 stock everything. But every time I try to connect to my platronics k100 it doesn't show on the list. I have to reboot both devices several times before my gnex sees the platronics. I then go to pair the device but I get cannot connect to pk100 either wrong pin or passkey. I cannot find away to enter a passkey. I tried clearing the Bluetooth cache to see if that helps but nothing. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a fix? Could this be because of the new radio that dropped? I never had this issue with ICS.
I'm also stock 4.1.1 GNex. I had perfect BT behavior with several devices with ICS, now have a problem with my car's built-in BT hands-free phone (2007 BMW 328). Pairing is fine. About every other phone call I'm told they can barely hear me over the noise but my audio is fine. I've paired and unpaired, and I did a complete wipe before installing JB. Very frustrating since everything worked great with ICS. Also no problems with 2 other BT headsets and connecting to 2 different PCs via BT.
Hello,
Did either on of you find a fix for this?
Thanks in advance
Bluetooth Connectivity Problem

Hi everyone, I received today my Sony smartwatch 2 and is pretty good. The only problem I have is that I can't connect it to my main phone an acer liquid e2 duo (the dual sim one).. I can successfully pair it (Sometimes, usually he gave me a pin error) with the bluetooth but then the sw fail to recognize the installed app on the smart phone,it get stuck on the animation that say you to install the Sony app.. I don't think it's a bluetooth problem it seems to be something with the app-smartphone related.
I tried with an xperia phone and everything went good no problem at all.
I really hope someone can help me and thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same behaviour with an acer liquid gallant duo. Please help my, otherwise I'll send back the watch to amazon.
Unfortunately Acer's Bluetooth stack is probably missing or poorly implementing some BT profiles required for a correctly working connection.

So there isn't a solution to the problem? Like a rooted app or something that add the correct functionality to the bt?
A possible solution might be installing another ROM, like a CyanogenMod (if available for that smartphone).

Re: sony smartwatch 2 pairing
At the time of Sales the Sony should prove its own software/support to solve bluetooth pairing issues with different mobile

Thank you for your suggestion, I've tryed but it's still not working. Could you please let me know the exact steps that worked for you?
I have a acer e2 too, to me works, but if i power off smartwatch 2 and power on it, the acer doesn't connect. I must restart the phone and it connects.
EDIT: now i have discovered that,when i power off the smartwatch 2, i must kill the process "smartwatch2" from the phone and if i power on the smartwatch 2 it connects! ^_^
Same issue here.
SW2 and Acer Liquid E2 Duo (aka v370) do not connect.
Pairing succedes but after 1 second the connection falls and you have to pair it again and again.
Tried with bluetooth fix repair and once it worked, but it never worked again.
Has someone suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
For me all works great

bluetooth pairing error
Mine too. Could someone help me how to fix bluetooth pairing error. Really need help. Always error when pairing to others device. How to fix. Already try pkill. But didn't find file. Plizz help buddy.
The solution for acer e2 is to install androium 3.5 ROM. It is based on Acer e3 Rom that hasn't any problem!
Which phone and android version do you have?
