Yes! Succes on pairing TP2 with XC60!

Finaly I have a working connection between my HTC TP2 and my Volvo XC60 carkit!

I've been to the dealer and they have installed the latest BT version on my car: BT3.18_R.

Also I've put a new ROM on my TP2: RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_NLD_2.07.404.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91.

Last thing I did was changing the supported features value to 1085. After soft reset the phone had changed this to 1081.

Result: Fully working integration with addressbook, last numbers, missed numbers etc.. No side effects!

This has taken a while but I'm happy the issue is fixed. Good luck to you all!

Delayed bluetooth connection - 2004 Lexus

After reading and searching all 196 messages in this thread I think my bluetooth problem is slightly different.

My HD2 (TMOUS) pairs with a 2004 Lexus and I can place and receive calls. The problem is that when I place a call there is a short delay before I hear anything. The delay is JUST long enough for me to completely miss hearing the greeting of the party I'm calling (say 3 to 5 seconds). This is causing problems because I don't know we have connected and there is an uncomfortable pause.

Other than the connection delay I have no concerns.

Does anyone have a solution. Should I try the registry fix.

Thanks for any advice.

2010 Range Rover Sport here and I have the issue described in this thread -- the car BT controls the phone but no audio over the car's audio system.

This phone worked perfectly with a 2006 Range Rover Sport. That model did not support anything other than audio (no phone book etc). Also, an AT&T Fuze works properly with the 2010 RR.

All of this seemingly points to the BT stack in the HD2 being a buggy POS.

Anyway after reading through this thread I made a bunch of tweaks and for me simply changing the SupportedFeatures value to 1085 *appears* to make this work much more reliably. It's still not perfect -- very occasionally, the I can hear audio coming from the phone speaker and not the car speakers... but redialing fixes it. This is much better than *never* hearing any audio at all. Changing that value to 1085 is the only tweak I have applied.

I was about ready to return the phone (T-Mobile USA -- I'm within my 14 day window) but now I think I can live with it. 1085 seems to do the trick... hope I won't be sorry keeping this phone (today is the last day of the 14 days). Fingers crossed.
[HD2 General] SpiritRC:
I didn't have any problems with pairing my HD2 to my Citroen C4 Picasso, nor did I have any problems communicating with the parties when I dialed a number from HD2 or received a call.

I have Cyberon Voice Commander 2.5.2 installed and my problems are as follows:

1. When I press "voice dial" button on my wheel, Citroen would complain that "Connected phone doesn't support voice dialing" or something like that. I was able to fix that by changing HKLM/Software/Widcomm/Plugin/HandsFree/SupportedFeatures to 0x5FF, according to the bitmap given in thread /showthread.php?t=634494 (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post links).

2. Now when I press "voice dial" on the wheel, Citroen displays "Pronounce a voice tag" and seems to connect audio to HD2 (there is a slight click in the speakers), but:

2.1. It does NOT start Voice Commander automatically

2.2. When I start VC manually, I hear some fearsome (and very loud) squeaking instead of the real VC's prompt.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

P.S. Also I found that the value for SupportedFeatures will revert to 0x5FB (voice dialing bit cleared) after a soft reset.
[HD2 General] qaliza:
i bought a car kit MP3 player for my car. I paired it with my TP2 and enabled the "BT Audio" and "BT Handsfree". Outgoing calls work fine with no problems at all. But during incoming calls there is a problem. If the incoming call is from someone saved in my contacts, the BT carkit does not ring. If its from an unknown number (not saved in my contacts), it works perfectly. I tried all the tweaks and hacks in this forum but nothing worked. Anymore ideas.

Jaguar XF

Hi

Currently changing my car and have been following this thread as I had issues now resolved with a Mercedes.Can any of the XF owners who have replied or who read this thread let me know if they have been able to connect properly with phonebook downloading to the car as this is a must have for me and there seems to be conflicting answers.

Thanks
[HD2 General] okhandel:
It works

Hi, got a Volvo XC60 with built in bluetooth device, didn't try the DWORD value, but went for the mentioned registry modification. Changed the SupportedFeatures to 1085.

Now everything works like a charm. Haven't tried to download phonebook to the car, can't see the use in that since I can access it remotely from the car.

Just want to say THANK YOU ALL for this excellent forum. I'm new to Winows mobile devices, and this forum is a great place to seek help. :D

Works on Jaguar X Type

THANK YOU okhandel

I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to use my HD2 with Jaguar X Type incar bluetooth and have been experiencing similar problems to other posts. Namely phone will pair with car bluetooth but no audio when making calls.

Updated ROM to 02 official release 1.72 and checked no bluetooth updates available from Jaguar.

I can confirm that changing registry entry:

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree

\SupportedFeatures to 1085 (default 1379)

has resolved problem completely. Phone now connects correctly, address book transfers, audio via car speakers and controlled via steering wheel controls.

I have no technical knowledge, but this solution has worked for me. Hope this helps someone else

Phone book access with PIN

I've read this post and tried a number of the reg hacks in a vain attempt to fix my problem.

I have an Audi A4 with RNSE Sat Nav plus (something like that, can get details if someone things it is relevant) - compared to all the issues mentioned in this post it works perfectly with the exception that I cannot access the phone book ONLY IF THERE IS A PIN/PASSWORD ON THE PHONE. My device is subject to our companies Exchange ActiveSync policy which enforces a PIN/password

If the phone is unlocked and I switch the ignition on, the phone book appears after a few seconds - perfect.

If the phone does not have a PIN, the phone book appears after a few seconds - perfect (unfortunately, I cannot leave the phone like this as I have to sync with Exchange).

If the phone has a PIN and is locked when I turn the ignition on, the phone book cannot be accessed, the car's DIS display simply shows 'Please wait...' when I attempt to access it. I can answer calls and even make calls via the car (as long as I dial using the phone) etc but as I can't access the phone book I can't make calls while driving.

As I say, I've tried a number of the seemingly relevant reg hacks in this post but... no cigar (in fact some made things worse).

Can anyone offer any advice on this particular PIN issue?

Thanks

German "Umlaute" ä, ö, ü,...

Hello Everybody,

a few threads ago i told you that my Mercedes Benz-Bluetooth adapter hat problems to display the german "Umlaute".

My Kaiser worked fine with my Mercedes Benz HFP Adapter.

Now my Brother told me that his HTC Hero has the same problem with his Audi-Concert Radio.

Maybe an HTC problem generaly?

Dropped calls

I had the same issues with my LandRover LR2 and after changing the SupportedFeatures to 1085 I can now make and receive calls via bluetooth and remotely access my phonebook.

But, I do get a lot of dropped calls. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Also, how do I remotely view dialed and missed calls as this shows as empty when I try and view it from my car?

Thanks

[HD2 General] drphilgood:
bluetooth car connection

may I start by acknowledging my technical incompetence! I have followed this thread thro as I have similar problems with my Land Rover. Connection and pairing are fine and at times the whole thing works flawlessly but , on other days, I cannot dial or accept incoming calls. If someone rings me, they can hear the background eg radio etc but I cannot connect and speak, so it seems to be the audio connection that fails.

I have mailed HTC, who appear to have no recognition of the problem and simply suggested that I update the O2 ROM, ( which I have done).

I now need some hand holding please; I recognise that I need to download a registry editor, and note that Windows marketplace suggests the Reg editor by Implicit Software Solutions. Once I have done this, I presume that I simply follow the suggested changes to the Bluetooth values suggested in the posts.

My anxiety is compounded by the response received from HTC , which suggests that if I amend the registry, I may invalidate my warranty.

Previous HTC phone, XDA serra worked flawlessly in the same vehicle so this is all very frustrating!

Can someone just guide me through what steps I shoould take, please?

Many thanks in anticipation,

Phil
[HD2 General] delta-roh:
The HD2 will work with a Jaguar XF by changing:

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree

SupportedFeatures = 1085 (will change to 1081)

You will

- make / receive calls

- get the recent call stack (received, made, dismissed)

- get your phonebook - but only 500 entries (!); this seems to be an issue of the XF
[HD2 General] drphilgood:
Land Rover

can confirm that the above fix seems to solve the problem (at present) successfully in MY10 RR Sport. I have been taking the precaution of keeping data connection switched off before re-connecting the bluetooth pairing, but it has worked successfully for the last 24 hours or so.

May I just thank all the wise members who have added to this post and seemed finally to have come up with a solution. I have mailed HTC several times over the issue and had absolutely no help or even acknowledgement that they recognise the problem, and having sent the links to this thread, they clearly didn't bother to read the list of frustrations expressed. They simply suggested it must be a Land Rover compatibility issue.

Thanks once again to all

Hi,

I just experienced also issues with sound in my new Volvo. I do however noticed a fix from HTC dated april this year (NLD). did anyone tried this and did it work? i will update and let you know the results.

[HD2 General] nniicckkss:
Actually, with further ongoing usage, I found that I just have to turn the bluetooth on on my phone while the head unit is already on to 'automatically' connect, works every time without fall. No need to touch the HU, just use a toggle switch on a home screen quicklink.

Still a little inconvenient, but much easier to do than doing it through the HU.
[HD2 General] alex2006mobile:
audio cable + bluetooth?

I hope it is proper thread. I connect my hd2 to a car audio by cable and want to use a bluetooth headset for speaking. In case of incoming call i expected the music in speakers is paused, audiostream redirected to bluetooth and after hang up again music continues and goes back to the car audio. AFAIR it was default behavior with Xperia X1. But now i hear only ring in the bluetooth earpiece, then voice goes from the car speakers. This can be dangerous if my wife is inside.

Any idea how to fix it? THX in advance.
[HD2 General] leasingjup:
Hi all.

I created a ticket to HTC hotline about my bluetooth-topics (same as all here posted). After some standard blabla-answers they gave me an bluetooth monitor utility to log the bluetooth-traffic and connections on my HD2 and asked for providing the logfiles.

May you all should do the same to get your special problems resloved with the (hopeful) next update.

My two system:

- BMW 320d (E91) with Navi Professional: Since last Update of BMW-Software (!!) everything works perfect, including telephonebook transfer and german special caracters (ä, ö, ü, ß)

- Bluetooth-adapter KS-BTA200 with Radio KD-NX5000: No connection possible! When I try to pair the HD2, the radio crashes and restarts without any result (the HTC P3300 and 3 other devices worked fine without any problems). I will try these days the last hints given here in the forum, but honestly, I don´t believe, that this will help, until the widcomm stack really get full reworked.

In general, I am totally pissed off about the product maintenance of HTC - this problems are now 9 months old without any solution in sight. They definitely lost me as a future customer!

Phonebook Transfer

Hi All,

Finally sorting my connection with my BMW X5 (E53, 2005). I had to follow the SupportedFeatures fix (using 45 or 1081).

However, I too have the issue of no phonebook transfer.

What I am wondering, am I being too impatient.

When the Phonebook is being transferred, do you get any indication on the phone that the phonebook is being transferred, or is it you just wait and see. If I press the DIR on the MID (not the iDrive, but the older style Multi-Information-Display console), it says "Please Wait". I am presuming it is busy downloading, or not?

I have about 400 contacts, and I have read the transfer rate can be from 20 secods to 5 minutes to download. Any idea (roughly) the time it might take.

Now the last question (sorry).. How are the contacts transferred? I mean are they sent using OBEX, or another way. Why I ask as I get 3 services available from my car BT unit and they are HandsFree, SerialPort and FileTransfer (should there be more)?

I tried to send a contact to the car BT unit and it tried to send a .vcf file, but I got an error "item not accepted"

Hope I can get some answers, hints, etc. Im pulling my hair out over this. I know it is the Widcomm BT sh*t in the HD2, but with so many people now having success with the reg changes, I am feeling I might have some settings wrong on my HD2.

Thanks,

Rob
[HD2 General] delta-roh:
Sir, to set the SupportedFeatures to 45 or 1081 is the correct way. And you do not need another service for the phonebook transfer - HandsFree is enough. But there is a big difference between 45 and 1081:

45 : This turns of all additional features - so this is PHONE ONLY - no contacts, no last recent call lists.

1081 : This is the right value, that will also support the additional features. After reboot and pairing with your car, you may get the question, that the car tries to retrieve data from the phone and if you will allow this access. Answer with YES (.... , I shall - oh that was a different thing :)). Also it may be neccessary to autorize the connection manualy - to do this: Go to Bluetooth click and hold the car-connection for the context menu. Choose "properties". Confirm the checkbox "authorize connection".
[HD2 General] rb0135:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

When I try 1081, the Bluetooth connection connects, transfers about 7KB (I see this in the Hands-Free status screen on the HD2 and which I am presuming is the Phonebook) then it disconnects the bluetooth connection. From what i can gather, it is the Car disconnecting (use authorise connection is ticked, and fully discoverable BT.. while I am testing).

So, it looks as though something happens either midway through the phone book transfer or at the end, but could also be the start.

Then, the devices connect automatically again and the same thing happens again and again for about 5 minutes. Obviously, it times out trying and then the two stay connected without any issue (apart from NO phonebook).

There must be some Widcomm setting in the registry to get this fixed. I say this, as I have an HTC HD, that connects without an issue and transfers the same contact list within the same time that the HTC HD2 stays connected (about 15 seconds). I know the HD uses the MS bluetooth stack. However, when i pair the HD2 after I have previously paired the HD (I can pair 4 phones into the car system), the contacts that displayed with the HD are NOT available for the HD2. Since I rarely change contacts, I thought i might be able to load the contacts into the system and they would be available for all paired phones, but it seems that each phone that is paired can have its own contact list.

I also wish there was some log somewhere that might tell me why it disconnected, or the last thing it did before the disconnection.

Thanks,

Rob

Nissan Connect

My car is Nissan Note (with Nissan Connect - same used in Qashqai etc).

I`m able to speak via CarKit (except for a extremely low microphone sensitivity - have to speak quite to loud to be heard).

Currently have three issue with HD2 (none of them appeares with SE X1):

1. Ringtone isn`t transfered to CarKit - some default CarKit` melody is played.

2. Phonebook does download to CarKit but all names are cut - several first and last characters are missing.

3. Some times answering an incoming call in CarKit doesn`t actuall work - need to pick up the call manually on HD2.

The issue persists with Artemis v22 (custom ROM) and regtweaks in the thread.

Now awaiting for a btspy.exe from HTC support to gather debug logs for further analysis.

P.S. I would suppose this issues are caused by integrated CarKit but Xperia (which uses usual MS` BT stack) does handle it properly.
[HD2 General] rb0135:
Ok.. i fixed it finally....

The fix was simple, now that I know.

I was doing the following:

What i did was a hard reset of the phone which reset the registry to default.

Then, I just changed the SUPPORTEDFEATURES to 1085 (which changes to 1081 after a reboot, but I think you have to put 1085 before rebooting. Dont put 1081 directly in). I did NO other registry changes as per those instructions.

Rebooted the phone, then realised it wasnt constantly disconnecting/connecting. Checked the car display and ALL contacts had been transferred.. and the connection is stable.

Hours wasted testing changes, but finally got there.

[HD2 General] Hatefly:
For those of you having issues with the Bluetooth:

If you have bluetooth built into your car please keep the following in mind.

Make sure all of your com ports are set to open. (in the phone)

Make sure that your bluetooth is set to auto connect in phone and car

It is possible to connect your car to Bluetooth and be corded at the same time for music, however:

To listen to music (on screen) if you have that in your car, you must go into comm manager and change your connection settings from active sync to disk drive. If not, your phone will display "No Music Found"

If you want to stream music from an app - last.fm or groovefish, etc - while wired, make sure the comm manager is set to Active Sync. If not, the app will try and access the disc - just guessing - and will error out, requesting a restart. The car and the app can't access disc at the same time.

Wired connection while listen to music - with bluetooth on - won't pick up on any in phone EQ filters like wowhd, etc. so your sound might be a little muted.
[HD2 General] rb0135:
Spoke too soon...

I should have actually tested making and receiving a call (rather than being over joyed by getting the phonebook to sync).. I could dial out, the car said it had dialled, but NO action on the phone.... I actually had to turn off the Bluetooth on the phone for the Car to release what it thought was the call.

Incoming calls just ring on the phone and the car knows nothing of them.

So, I have set the SupportedFeatures to 45 and I can use the Bluetooth Kit, but the volume is very LOW (even with the volume turned right up). I have tried a few SupportedFeatures values, but all dont work except 45.

I know the MS BT Stack has a volume registry key, but I havent found one for the Widcomm Stack.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] delta-roh:
Sir, with the volume registry entry I can't help. But I had similar problems with some Rom-RadioRom combinations. The combination in my signature works perfect with SupportedFeatures=1085 / 1081. May be worth a try ... :D
[HD2 General] rb0135:

[HD2 General] rb0135:
Well, I have tried the Artemis A 22.0 (and 24) Rom with Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and it does exactly the same thing (in other words, doesnt work), and extracting the registry for the Bluetooth stacks and comparing them, they are exactly the same.

Was worth a try, but in my case, it doesnt work..

Did you ever get the btspy software? Wouldnt mind to get a copy so i can go through my logs. I've tried HTC but they wont send it to me.

[HD2 General] christofertan:
Hi Guys,

I had this issue and I solved it by:

Going into the buletooth car settings in my HD2, I have an NL version, so its like this:

Instellingen > overig > carkit-modus

And there you need to specify some settings so that it can work right. After that It worked good for me. I even get a message when I receive a voicemail from a missed call now in my car mailbox.

Another thing I heard about this issue was that sometimes you ned to go to the dealer and get a bluetooth software update. That can also fix the issue with playing music from your HD2 through your car speakers, via the bluetooth raido option.
[HD2 General] molann:
I`ve received their response with instructions but without attach (I can even believe it was stripped by our mail-AV). Requested attach again in password-protected archive but no response since then. I`ll update this support case once again. Will let you know on any advance in this case.
[HD2 General] UK Penguin:
I have found that attachments in emails from HTC are not attached too. You have to follow their instructions to login via the 'ContactUs' link with your ticket number and email address. Then you will see their attachments if you click on 'View Replies'. Then right click the filename and 'Save As'.

Hope this helps...
[HD2 General] molann:
Thanks for this info. I didn`t notice this link in their response message (there was some issues with encoding). Logged in ContactUs system - there wasn`t attach to HTC` message - let`s suppose they just forgot to attach it. Posted a corresponding reply in tracking system.

ADDED. Got reply from HTC with attachment.

bluetooth car connection

Today have had a phone call from HTC, following on from my withering criticism about their unhelpful attitude to fixing this problem, ie "dont tamper with your registry or your warranty is invalidated".

Caller promised that he would follow up the links to this forum and pass them direct to HTC Taiwan and promised that they were working on a fix so that we wouldn't all have to continue with our DIY attempts to solve this issue.

Not holding my breath of course, but it's the first sign of any meaningful response from the company I have had.

Pleased to say that my fix is still working on Land rover.

Will post if I get any more contact from the company.
