Hi,
I have a bluetooth phone in my car, when I first connected the HTC Desire HD up, it had no problems, it paired and everything looked fine... around 10 minutes later, I noticed the bluetooth had simply disconnected from the car but was still running on the phone. I tried to reconnect it up to the car but it wouldn't, I then turned it off, and turned it back on.. it struggled to come back on, but after a few attempts it did come on and the car connected again...
About 5 minutes later the same thing happened again. At this point my phone started to really slow down, I looked in watchtower and the bluetooth was at the top of the list, soon as I turned off bluetooth the phone was responding fine again.
I have since tried connecting to the car multiple more times and have contacted HTC about it, but it seems to disconnect at random times.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I heard of similar problems with the original desire so wondering whether it could be something similar.

Hi Kev,
I am having similar problems with my Desire HD and Audi in car bluetooth system. I posted on another forum and found others were finding the same...
I pair my phone and within couple of minutes the phone has disconnected and won't re-connect.
Not found any definitive answer as yet, but seems BT in this phone isn't so good. Also read a post saying HTC were aware of this but an update wouldn't be available for sometime.
Hopefully someone else can shed some light!

I also noticed this the last few days with my Bury CC9056 carkit. I have my DHD since October 18th, and up till last friday it connected fine. Since then it connects to the carkit, but within a few seconds the connection is lost...

Me too. My connection to my Jabra car kit is stable once connected... but trying to get it connected in the first place is a total headache.
Never had this problem with my Desire, so why HTC should change the Bluetooth function in the HD is a mystery.

tbh i'm glad its not just me thats experiencing problems meaning it could be a software problem rather than something with my handset in particular.
I have been in touch with HTC about this, and I have just sent them the link to this thread so they can see i'm not the only one with this issue, so if anyone else has this issue it may be good to try and keep it all in here.

Mines also the audi in car system - do you find that you struggle to turn the bluetooth off and on again once it disconnects or that your phone becomes a little laggy until you turn the bluetooth off?
Yeah - I use the bluetooth widget on the home screen and once it disconnects, it will either take ages to turn off and on again, or it takes 2 presses to turn off.
I have just purchased a Plantronics 230 headset as need bluetooth for my job and it works perfectly - it's no where near the quality of the in car one though.
Also booked in my Audi as it's still under warranty - spoke to them on the phone and they said they will try and update the firmware but the Desire HD isn't on their supported phone list. Have seen a copy of this and not many phones are!!
I would of thought though, that as long as the phone does connect to the phone system in the car that it is compatible.
I have had 30mins once out of it before it disconnected and it was absolutely perfect in that time, including the phone book etc.
I do believe its something to do with the bluetooth on the phone as its a bit strange the way it struggles to turn on again once it fails.

That really hacks me off. I mean, BT is a standard. The only reason Audi can give for not supporting a phone that supports at least the same level of BT as them is that they (Audi) do not adhere to the BT standard.
Now, we all know in real life that cars and phones have problems/bugs/whatever BUT unless they can show that there is indeed a *bug* with the phone then the onus should be on Audi to support it.
Dave
Just for the record, it is not just Audi. With me it is together with the Bury carkit, where it first worked fine. (and also works with all other phones...)

I can confirm the issues with the BT. I have a parrot Mki9000 in my car and the first time when i tried to connect the DHD , the phone stopped to respond and I was forced to restart it. Since then the phone is paired with the car kit and works fine in a2dp mode for playing music, but when i try to make a call it simply not work. Yo better discribe the problem I will give an example:
The phone i properly connected and playing music, then it's ringing, but the ring sound is coming from the phone speaker not from the car. Then If i answer the call the sound comes from the phone (it shows that there is connection to the car kit). I've tried to press the speaker icon and there is a list with output devices (the phone, loudspeaker, and my car kit) I've tried to select the car kit several times , but there was no success. When I close the phone the music start to play from my car's BT system , so I think there is a problem with the handsfree function/protocol only a2dp works great , and I didn't have any issues with it. Also I've tried file transfer via BT, it works fine two.
Mitsubish Outlander carkit
I can confirm the same issue with the Mitsubish outlander carkit. It even happens that it drops the conversation. sometimes it's ok for half an hour, sometimes it disconnects after 1-2 minutes.
I also have a Jabra (bluetooth) headphone and noticed that if you pick up a call on the phone the sounds doesn't route to the headphone. If I pickup on the headphone it works fine.

I have a Pioneer head unit with BT in the car and that seems to work OK, not withstanding the fact that the HU has BT issues of its own (hardware fix needed - I'll get a new unit rather than fix it as I want one with A2DP) but once connected it works fine.
I have a Plantronics headset that seems to exhibit the same problems as your Jabra. At least if I use the phone to answer the call the sound comes through the phone. Also, if I have been using the headset the next call I make goes through the phone speaker which is a pain.
I'm wondering if HTC are routing the sound through the device that's actually *controlling* the call? So even if a headset is paired and connected to the phone, if you use the phone to make the call, as most people would, then it assumes that that's where the sound should get routed. If so, doh .....!!!!!
Just to add, if the sound does get routed to the phone you can use the 'choose speaker' option on the screen to route it to the headset but you shouldn't have to do this.
Anyone reported these issues to HTC and got a meaningful response?
Dave
I did send an email to HTC. Their wonderfull answer was about: "is your phone mentionned in the compatabilylist of the carkit, if not drop the problem there"...
I am still waiting for a response from HTC.
Mines got to a point now where I cant even make a call, it connects to the car, I go through phone book (on car) choose person to call, press call.. it tries for a couple of seconds then comes up disconnected, about 10 seconds later the phone disconnects from the car and will nto reconnect.
My phone then lags like mad until I turn bluetooth off which according to watch tower is taking up about 80% of the CPU.
any updates/solution to all these problems ?
I need it to work with MW600 before buying Desire HD
Last contact I had with HTC is they told me it had been escalted to the software team, so i'm guessing next time a software update comes out it could come about in that, but at the minute no still not fixed.

I've always thought that that's the way it is on all BT headset phones, it makes sense, if the incoming call was for my girlfriend, she can answer from the phone itself, and it automatically routes this through the phones speaker, and if it was answered from the headset, then it routes to the headset.. makes sense to me, I think it's quite good that it does that!
Do any of you have the process com.android.phone crashing when making a phone call through BT?
Ditto my mitsubishi outlander factory bt system. Seemed to work fine first time but then disconnected during first call and would not reconnect for days. Then after connecting not all functions would work ...no incoming call alert on car system, no dialling from car etc. I know the car system is fine as all functions work perfectly with my old nokia xpress music.

I trust that all of you bother to report this to HTC, at least once per instance ?

heylo everyone,
experiencing a issue which had become a pain !
i have a ford figo with OEM stero (India) which is an awesome one. i had a SE ARC before i moved to HTC One X and with Arc, once paired, there was absoultely no problem ever to pair it again, all i had to do was to switch the bluetooth on and it used to connect.
with HOX, i have a major issue, the first time, it connected flawlessly, was able to make calls, play music from phone thru bluetooth on the stero system. but then comes the problem! it doesnt work the next time, i tried to delete the pairing on both car and phone but with no joy.. i did a factory reset and it again worked once.. next time, it says its connected, but when i play music, it plays on the phone's speakers, i went to music player settings and tried to select the player as bluetooth but doesnt make any difference... i read couple of people having similar but not same problem, some have crackling issue, some are unable to connect, but this is strange, able to connect but only once.. i havent formatted the phone again for this and its a little cumbersome as all my music is on phone and i always used to use the phone to play music.
any help will be much appericiated
I have the same with an after market Sony.
Really erratic pairing. Always pair's phone but not media.
Have to randomly switch it on and off for a while til I get lucky.

It works the same as my SGS2 on my Infiniti (Nissan) nav system both for phone and media. The One X has BT 4.0 which I'm assuming is backwards compatible but it might be a challenge with some systems/devices.

Barry, Possibly yes, but i beleive new technology is always backward compatible ..
anyone had a fix ? i read about some bluetooth stack fixes, but looks like it was for a previous HTC device and not HOX..
I can fairly pin the issue down to your car audio not playing nice with Bluetooth 4.0. Yes, its backwards compatible, but, that's not always a guarantee. Get some other Bluetooth 4.0 devices to check.

My HTC one x with pair perfectly with my Mazda 6 Bluetooth. only thing is the steering wheel controls won't skip music. quite annoying if the wife's tracks come on!
have you tried restarting the phone when this happens? I happens to me now on the HOX and did happen on my old desire. If I restart the phone all connects fine and can phone and listen to music.... although the music stutters. using an aftermarket sony.

This same problem here with after market Sony MEX-BT3800U.
Before I use to have Desire HD, which was fine, now it's a nightmare.
Maybe somebody have more luck with different after market model which works perfectly with HOX ?
Mine is a Sony unit too... Possibly that one off the top of my head. It's annoying as sound quality via aux in is awful due to the low volume

Got the same problem in my Mitsubishi Outlander navigation system.Don't know why.Must be the version of the bluetoot that you'r car isn't recognizing it.You can try to do a factory reset of you'r car stereo,i did that the other day and now seems that it's working well,don't know the reason why.I think that it's the cars fault because the bluetooth headset that i use doesn't seem to have any problems working or connecting to my HTC.Even if you have open "slots" in your car to connect you'r phone,the car doesn't whipe the data of the last phones you used on it,that is why i am saying to do a factory reset.I don't know if you can do it yourself,i went with my car at the Mitsubishi Service,they conected the computer,reseted the navigation system,connected my phone and now works.
I find it ridiculous that a £150 Sony head unit has issues, wheras I have a £20 Nokia cheap bluetooth headset that works flawless, thats a good few years old.
Solved ! Bluetooth Issue when connecting with OEM Car music system
Finally this is solved for me after the 1.28.720.10 Update it now connects flawlessly and works like charm everytime anyone else who had problems tried this ?
Mine works fine with my Ford OEM headunit.

I havent had the update yet so will have to wait for that to try i guess
Mine takes agaes to pair to car BT and then doesnt connect when in range
Same problem here with a Sony head unit.
Phone profile connects flawlessly every time
Media profile seems random (though I have better luck if I leave the head unit on and switch bluetooth off and on again on the phone)
My software version is 1.28.401.9 so I guess I'll sit tight for an update and hope it cures it. I get nothing new if I try to trigger an update, so it's probably a case of waiting for HTC to pull their fingers out
Mine works great with my Sony head unit and am on 1.26.206.2 (o2) I even stream my music flawlessly phone calls work can you not take ur handset back and say its not working and exchange it for another 1

i have a mazda 3 and i have the same issue! i checked the heck out of these forums and havent seen anyone reporting the same issue i have, i was beginning to wonder if it was just me.....
has anyone else had issues with track advancing etc? not just with cars but with other devices like headphones or bt boomboxes? i wonder if the issue persists across devices.
has anyone gotten this to work with the HOX?
I also have weird experiences about the bluetooth-car connection.
On my desire, when i just get in my car, without doing anything else the phone/car would recognize each other and the music on my desire would start playing in the car instantly.
Now on the HOX, phone part always gets connected, no exceptions, media part gets sometimes connected sometimes not, if it gets connected it sometimes starts playing automatically it sometimes does not, and regardless of it plays automatically or not, i sometimes can use the controls on the steering wheel to skip songs and such, but sometimes i cannot.
Any ideas to what is causing these "sometimes"es?
Im on version 1.28.061.9 and mine doesnt connect at all. When pairing it stays on "pairing" for quite a long time and eventually it pairs but then doesnt connect
Tried a second HOX and its the same with that
Hoping that there will be a future update to fix this
This on the OEM bluetooth on a fiat Panda
I use bluetooth Heahphones on my s3 and it worked perfectly, paired and i get beautiful sound. But on my s4 i paired my bluetooth headphones with my phone and it synced great.

I'm waiting to get an S4 until I can purchase in store at Best Buy but I do have a set of Jaybirds I can test with them after I buy the phone.

I have a pair of LG-TONE HBS-730 earphones and also a FM transmitter in my car. Last night and this morning I had a similar problem as yours, and I had to restart the phone so I could hear music and calls through the bluetooth devices. A couple of hours ago, I tried again and everything worked very well, BUT after disconnecting them, the phone went like it was on Silent Mode. No sound at all, no ringtone, no music, even the alarm didn't emit any sound, so I had to restart the phone and sound got back to normal. At this moment I am doing some tests connecting and disconnecting the BT earphones, but the problem is gone, so I don't know what's going on.

On my s3 it paired automatically! on the s4 i had to do this.....
With the Power off, press the CALL button and move the power switch to the ‘ON’ side at the same time for 4 seconds to manually place the headset in pairing mode
I hope this helps!
Use BT all the time on my gs2 ill try this out tomorrow and see if there is anything out of the ordinary.
Needing to pair the bt device to the phone is very normal for the very first use - especially if its been paired with another device in its history. Ive found bt devices (headsets like the jabara bt3030/street2) often cant really have more than 1 or two pairs total or they dont connect / dont stay connected properly.
Also the samsung bt stack has had lots of issues with BT devices over the galaxy generations. hopefully its not back.
I've used a Moto S10 & S11 HD stereo BT and 2 different Jawbones without issue.
Hey guys ,
So iam having a problem with the bluetooth and its just making me crazy.
I have a BT system in my car (Seat leon) , the phone should auto connect to it and it does , but it only connects to the phone option , not the music streaming option.
IN the phone BT menu both calling and music is marked as active , and yet it wont connect to the music thing , only if i manually disable BT and enable it again.
Please note that none other phone had this problem , my iphone 6+ never had this nor the note 4.
Please help.
I have this exact problem with the H815, and the same car!
Strangely, the very first time I paired it the music audio worked fine, but every time I've tried since I've hit this issue. I even tried re-pairing and it still hit this issue. It seems like the car half thinks the music profile is connected, as BT appears in the "media" input options, and it even comes up with the track name that I was last playing (although this might just be the car remembering it). But sounds doesn't come through, and audio controls don't work.
I didn't see this precise issue mentioned elsewhere (although did see various other complaints about this phone and car BT audio), so I'm wondering if it's specific to the Leon or that's just a huge coincidence?
Well i dont know if its a car specific however , i did try several other phones and so far only the G4 has this problem.
Honestly iam considering replacing it since i always listen to music from my phone , and i have a 1 hour drive to and from work every day...
Such a small thing and such a big impact , unbelievable.
Works perfectly with the H815L on my car. I can hear music, television sound, recorded files,
radio station from tunein radio and everything else... It's not a problem with the device but rather with your
car system or you don't know how to operate it correctly...
dilgit ,
Did you even read what i asked ? , every thing is working when i connect it manually , but when i enter the car and it should connect automatically it connect only to the BT phone function rather then both phone and media options.
When talking with carkit it always cuts voice after 1-2 minutes ,I must press Bluetooth icon on call screen to reconnect again
Hi chundrik,
Have you solved this yet? I am disappointed that theres still no software update to fix this (version 10b for H815 didnt help). I mailed LG who say they think its a hardware fault but seems unlikely to me?

Fixed it! Turned out the leon needed a bluetooth firmware update. Not the phone's fault after all!

Same issue with TaoTronics TT-BR03
If have exactly the same issue with TaoTronics TT-BR03 (bluetooth hifi car adapter) . First connection is good, reconnecting fails or only connection for phone calls is established. If I press play/pause on the bluetooth adapter then the sound starts and stops from the phone speaker!
I suspect there won't be an update for TaoTronics...
My phone (LG G4) updated last night. Now when I try to connect via Bluetooth to my cars head unit the Bluetooth connects, disconnects, and reconnects over and over again. I tried restarting the phone several times and upaired the devices and paired them again several times with no help.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Phone is an LG G4. Forgot to put into original post.

I had this problem when I had more than one device paired over Bluetooth at the same time. For example, when I had my Fitbit paired with my phone and then I paired my phone with my car stereo, it connected and re-connected 3 or 4 times before it stuck. Since the update, I haven't re-paired by Fitbit. As a result, my phone pairs easily and the first time with my stereo.
I am having Bluetooth issues as well. Calls that I make from my car using the handsfree bluetooth built into the car (a 2015 car too) sound awful. It is garbled on both sides. It was fine before the marshmallow update on my G4. My wife's G3 got updated to marshmallow too, but it works fine in the car. My bluetooth headphones work fine too with the G4. Playing music over bluetooth in the car works too. It is just phone calls that are the problem. Unfortunately, it is a pretty big problem for me.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is there anyway to roll back without rooting?
Have you guys tried full factory wipe and repair everything again? There are a lot of things that could go wrong with Bluetooth. I have no problem with my 2013 car and my android wear watch. It was acting a bit weird before I applied the update!
