Hi Roger.

I also have an XF. My user name is MDG424. I posted a thread last night. Have a look at it to see if we are experiencing the same issues.

I have now turned my TP2's data connection off and the phone works perfectly except the ring-tone doesn't copy to the car (it never did with the Touch Pro 1) and the top phone screen mute button does not mute the car mic, you have to go to the cars phone settings screen during the call and press the mute microphone button for that to work.

Of course with the Data Connection turned off i don't get push emails but I can't deal with them while i'm driving so its not a big problem. The problem is remembering to turn the data connection on and off. You also have to set the ActiveSync schedule to manual otherwise ActiveSync turns the data connection on when you get an email.

I have had a very interesting discussion with the 'European Escalations Manager' at HTC this morning. He just happend to answer the support call line. HTC are working on a fix as I write. However i'm a Vodafone HTC user and its up to Vodfone if they take the HTC ROM upgrade. I guess i'll have to keep nagging them.

I'm going to try the registry hack in this thread and will advise if I it is successful.

I don't have emails enabled in my forum profile but you can email me directly at malcolm@thegreenhills.net

Coincedentally I had a new XK until 2 years ago and had terrible bluetooth problems with it, even with phones that Jag said would work. The result? I got a £2K voucher against my next Jag. I just kept writing to the Jag MD. You have probably been on the Jag Connectivity site which is useful and a testimony to thier response to thier bluetooth problems.

Aha! That sounds like a possible workaround for me in my A6. I've never had a problem with the HD2 connecting, or with making or receiving calls but the phonebook and call history has been a pain. Thanks for sharing! :)
[HD2 General] wonderstoat:
Let me know if it works for you. It's not ideal, but I'm hoping someone will find a tweak to allow the bluetooth bit to be "unlocked" even when the phone itself is locked.

Does that make any sense?? lol
[HD2 General] Roger David:
It is really unbelievable - IT WORKS. I killed all data connections with the helpfull application NoData. Then I paired with the Jag and it works absolutely perfect. Phonebook, last received and made calls, even the ring tone copied to the car. Until now I was not able to see any incompatibilities, but I only tried for about 15 minutes. This is much better, than the registry patch, that kills the data transfer (phonebook, last calls) completely. Thank you very much Malcom / MDG424. But, after all, you are also right with "we must keep nagging them" ... :) :) :) Thank you again!
[HD2 General] afekhad:
I tried as well... it works! We know now the origin of the issue!

HTC should now post a fix... or someone here at XDA Developpers! ;-)
[HD2 General] AvRS:
This is probably a stupid question but I've tried to terminate data connections and after flashing a couple of times the data connection starts straight back up. My phone won't allow me to turn the data connection off so I'm not even able to try this solution which sucks.

I'm on 1.66 with 2.07.51.05.02 radio. Anyone else unable to terminate data connections without using 3rd party apps or is it a problem with my phone? I've never tried before as never needed to.

Thanks

hi

i make ur edit but i cant understand what u say on this 2steps:

ii. Create value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda

iii. Create value HFDeviceType

can any body tell me clearly what i have to do??!!?? or make a reg file for me that i can just import that to my registery please?

any way i make those edits except those 2steps and i have a problem:

when i connect to my car kit for the first time and make a outgoing call at the firs time every thing is fine but after that connection will lost!!! and dosent work any more!

can any body tell me what i have to do???
[HD2 General] delta-roh:
You need the application NoData (http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/) or BSB (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589305).
[HD2 General] afekhad:
Which function of BSB is useful for our Bluetooth problem? :confused:

thanks
[HD2 General] andy2111:
1. In your registry editing program, browse to the LastConnectedBDA and see what value or "number" is it set to and write it down or remember it. Then create a new key HFBDA as a binary value and set it to the same value that you wrote down.

2. Next create a new registry item in the same place at the one you just edited in the step above. You must create it as type DWORD, call it HFDeviceType and then set its value to 2

Until you make these changes you can't expect it to work - good luck.
[HD2 General] andy2111:
New rom?

Has anyone tried one of the very latest 2.02 or 2.04 ROMs to see if this problem is fixed? I think Miri implied the new ROMs had updated bluetooth drivers.

I'll flash the upgrade in a week or so, but I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has already upgraded...
[HD2 General] vahid_ppc:
thanks a ton:)

i make all changes but it dosent work again:( but i found another way to fix it:D

when i pair my phone with my car kit in the pair page both in phone and carkit i have 2 option that can be checked or unchecked:

1.head set pairing

2.audio pairing

i just unchecked the audio pairing and every thing going ok:D

anyway thanks to every one
[HD2 General] BadTasteUK:
Just to feed back, it did work, thank you very much! Next I'm going to try the NoData program and see what happens.
[HD2 General] techdave:
I've installed Miri's 3.2, along with the new radio ROM that needs be installed anyway for Miri 3.2.

So far so good, sound is directed to my bluetooth device and not from the device's speaker anymore. I haven't tried Cyberon yet, but MSVC is working fine so far with my Parrot and Blueant bluetooth.
[HD2 General] AvRS:
I've just been out and tested the phone again in my car and I can now make and receive calls by turning off data. I tried with data disconnected and connected and it definitely is the cause of the problem with cutting calls off. I managed to get the phone to turn off data connections without installing the no data app, I just needed to put my email sync to manual and it now turns on and off when I want.

Unfortunately the phonebook still does not sync up so I have to make the calls from my phone but that's not a big problem I'm just happy to be able to make and answer calls. Hopefully HTC manage to fix this, even if it's a fix which turns off data when bluetooth handsfree is connected as people don't tend to use it while driving anyway.

I'm going to re-open my support ticket with HTC and tell them what I've found and maybe they'll tell me there's a fix being worked on as has been said earlier in this thread.
[HD2 General] garfield2412:
anybody here who is using a MB bluetooth adapter with the HD2?

i have problems with german "umlaute"... --> ä ü ö ß

my contacts they are displayed wrong in my APS 50 Display (wrong characters)
[HD2 General] rcs_br:
It seems that Miri's ROM is for the CDMA phones, if I am not mistaken. This is not the first time I hear that a CDMA ROM works fine with bluetooth handsfree pairing.

I wonder if any of the CDMA users - specially the MIRI's ROM users - could post the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack registry settings so we can compare with the GSM registry settings to try and find a solution.

I would check it myself if I could, but I can't flash a CDMA ROM to a GSM phone or I'll brick it.

The two parts of the registry I would start with are the ones mentioned in the hack above:

HKLM/software/widcomm/plugin/handsfree and

HKLM/software/widcomm/btconfig/general

Thanks in advance for the help.

2.07 and 2.08 can't pair

When i update my radio to 2.07 i can't pair bluetooh with my Car (BMW x5). I can't find car bluetooth to pair. Same is with 2.08 radio.
[HD2 General] rcs_br:
In the TP2 general forum there is a similar thread. User mrfredd has discovered that changing the SupportedFeatures entry to 1085 (became 1081 after reset in my case) solves the connection problems for him. It worked for me as well (Volvo XC60)

The link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5642632&postcount=27
[HD2 General] niteowl360:
have you tried a complete reset of the bluetooth device installed in your car. ie clear memory.

obviously you will need to re-pair the device.
[HD2 General] Sim-1:
Same exact problem with my Range Rover Sport. Worth mentioning that I can use flawlessly my Nexus One.
[HD2 General] Gangledore:
Hi All. I have just changed the supported features registry entry to 1381. The phone now works correctly, phone book and last call lists as well. I have a Volvo C30. Looking at the info from mrfredd and rcs_br I created the value by taking the default value of 1397 and then removing the bit for voice tags = 1381.

Previously I was using the value 45. The phone connected but the call lists and phonebook were missing.
[HD2 General] smaberg:
while pairing with cars, sometimes the checkbox "sim access isn't checked, and then many things wont work, and if i dont remember wrong you can make a reg tweak to enable just that, even if it dosnt allowe it, search google for answer though. i had the same problem with an volvo xc90, but after checkbox sim acces was checked averything worked ok...
[HD2 General] turt:
Hi, I have a MB bluetooth adapter and all french characters (é, à, è, ...) are also wrong...

Did you find a way to restore this? It used to work with my Diamond...
[HD2 General] andy2111:
Just checking that you saw my post #124 which got my HD2 and Range Rover Sport working together? Admittedly the phone book doesn't transfer but it's better then nothing. I have yet to try setting "supported features" to 1381 so I'll give this a go later and see if it fixes the phone book issue..
[HD2 General] garfield2412:
no, sorry no soloution until now :-(

did you install tomtom 7916?

tomtom crashed my BT, but i repaired it --> delete 2 files in windows directory. maybe this problem also destroyed the things with the german "umlaute" "ä ö ü ,..." and the french characters?

any idea?

p.s. it used to work with my kaiser to!
[HD2 General] gar1:
Hi. I have a Mitsubishi Outlander with a factory blutooth car kit system. HTC Diamond and HTC 3300 worked with it perfectly. HD2 is behaving strangely: approximately 5 minutes after the beginning of the conversation I cease to hear the talking and start listening to the radio. However, the interlocutor is on the line and if the menu select "switch on the headset", the conversation continues. Such problems may occur several times during the call.

Is there a solution to this problem?
[HD2 General] andy2111:
I recommend you try some of the registry changes described in this thread. There are various ways the bluetooth problem shows so the best thing is to experiment a bit and see what happens.
[HD2 General] gar1:
I am afraid that would not have been worse ...

I tried to describe the problem in hopes that someone acquainted with it, and tell the solution. :)
[HD2 General] Neitram:
No luck wit value 1381.

Hi Gangledore, I have a Volvo XC60, and also did the registry tweak with supported features value 45 on my HTC TP2. After changing this to 1381, I still have the same problem. Phonebook and call lists are loaded but there is no voice after call connection. When I turn off data connection there is also voice but the phone gets very slow in response.

Is there a definition for the values of supported features? If so I can play with them myself to see if there is a solution afterall.

Must say this is very frustrating...

Thanks, Neitram
[HD2 General] carpangler_00:
If have a Volvo V70 (2010) and have the same problem. First the Volvo dealer updated the bluetooth software to the latest version, 4.23R, last week. No luck, phonebook, missed calls, etc are still synced but no sound.

Then I changed the following registry setting (see post #125):

- HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree

- Change SupportedFeatures to 1085 (default was 1379)

- Soft reset

After soft reset the SupportedFeatures contains 1081. With this setting the phonebook, missed calls, etc are synced + when I make a call or get called the sound is routed through the cars speakers + don't need to turn data off.
[HD2 General] lloydy_57:
I have a 10.5MY C30 and i have the same problems with bluetooth, i have to turn off data connections but it still plays up sometimes. Is this a new release of bluetooth software? I wonder if my car already has it or not, its only 1 month old.
[HD2 General] carpangler_00:
My car is also 1 month old. The dealer checked the bluetooth version, concluded that it was not the latest version and did the update. I however doubt if this update from Volvo is part of the solution. Anyway together with the changed registry setting on the HD2 it's functioning. The rom version of my HD2 is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE.
[HD2 General] andy2111:
Just tried using 1381 and the phonebook transferred to the car...but I then get back to the same problem that once connected no sound comes out of the car speakers (my original problem).

I am going to upgrade to Miri's 4.1 ROM soon which has the very latest drivers so we'll see what happens...
[HD2 General] turt:
Hi,

No it's not related to the TomTom because I use a version of TomTom without the 2 files, so it's not cause by this...
[HD2 General] lloydy_57:
OK thanks. Its due its 3 month/3000mile service in april ill get them to check all the software levels then. The bluetooth is not that much of a problem for me.
[HD2 General] garfield2412:
tanks for the information. any idea what else can cause this problem?

caused by HD2 or by Mercedes BT?
[HD2 General] turt:
Hi, it's definitely caused by the HD2, since it worked fine with my HTC Diamond previously...
[HD2 General] jimore19:
I think you will fnd it is due to the widdicom bluetooth stack now being used - the same problem exists on the touch pro 2 as well :(

neither of these phones work properly in BMW or with Parott CK series due to widdicom drivers
[HD2 General] andy2111:
All working!

So I now have everything working handsfree on my Range Rover. But it does not make any sense.

I have flashed my phone several times and tried most settings out but always reverted to those in my post #131 as this was the best settings for me (phone worked but no address book).

I tried the suggestion to change SupportedFeatures to 1381 and the address book loaded but the phone audio did not come out of the car speakers.

So I changed SupportedFeatures back to 45 and did a soft reset. I noticed the phone had changed the value to 41 itself (!!!) and then I tested in my car and everything works, phone, audio and address book.

So it is all perfect, but I do not understand why!

Touch Pro2 pairing issues with VW Touch adapter/RNS 510

I have a TP2 with the Energy Leo 23540 ROM (I also tried several other ones) and a brand new VW with a touch adapter in combination with a RNS510. The firmware level of the touchadapter is 1.24.

My problem is that the TP2 won't pair with the touch adapter at all. I checked several forums for this issue and tried a bunch of registry tweaks. But with no result. I think that the registry tweaks are only solving issues with synchronizing address book etc. but not the pairing issues.

When I try to pair the TP2 is able to find the touch adapter and when I select it asks for the PIN (so far so good), only after I enter the PIN the TP2 says that an error occurred. :confused:

Can somebody tell me how to fix this. Thnx in advance

Jaguar XF connection to HTC HD2 T-Mobile version

[HD2 General] egschipp:
Also not working

Yes tried that, also with data connection off ect. nothing. I understand that your TP2 is pairing with the touch pro adapter?

Pioneer Bluetooth connection

My HD2 connects without any probs to my PIONEER DEHP7050BT.

Not sure about your stero but in mine you can select a two different Bluetooth connection modes, NOKIA or STANDARD. I'm using the STANDARD connection for my HD2. I previously had a NOKIA so used the NOKIA Bluetooth connection.
[HD2 General] sd-technology:
Same problem, and speaking to HTC customer support this morning they confirm this is a known problem with the HTC HD2 BT / car kit integration.

They are asking to help in providing log / support info so they can develop a fix.

I suggest any of you having this issue should contact them, hopefully with more of us providing debug log / info they'll produce a fix rapidly!

I'm not sure about trying the above mentioned registry tweaks though as effectively it seems to "downgrade" the BT capabilities... and with limited result!?

For info, most Volvo / Jag / Land-Rover / some Fords and also Aston use the same carkit BT modules manufactured by Motorola from what a Land-Rover dealer told me (this is because Ford use to own all the above brands at some points).

I use a parrot minikit slim. Connecting through Bluetooth was easy to set up and everything works fine.

But I have experienced some weird things: it disconnected a couple of times for no reason at all. This happened on ROM 1.43 NLD. I haven't experienced this on ROM 1.66.

Another thing is strange: my previous phone (HP iPAQ) would automatically reconnect when I left the car and would come back in a short time.

It seems the HD2 has some problem doing this.

i manage to connect my HTC HD2 to my Premium VW Passat Bluetooth with the rSAP. All seems to work great with a few contacts in my mobile. Untill today when i add more contacts to my HD2 and tried to update the phonebook. Suddenly the phone disconnects from the car and the connection fails. After that when i reconnect the phone and after 1-2 minutes it disconnects again bu it's own. Same thing when i try to make a call....

So i think that the problem is the contacts... is there any way to fix this ???
[HD2 General] egschipp:
Fixed: Touch Pro2 pairing issues with VW Touch adapter/RNS 510

Final fixed this issue by coincidence. I tried to sent a contact with bluetooth to the touchadapter, it will also ask for the PIN and when you enter this you get the message that this service is not supported on the touch adapter. But never the less it is paired and in your BT list now and able to connect. :)
[HD2 General] Roger David:
SupportedFeatures value 1081

This also works for my Jag XF without the need to disable the data connection with NoData. Only two things:

1. The first call is switched to the car audio with a delay of about 5 seconds. Simple solution: I just call my mailbox after the phone is connected.

2. Sometimes the phone looses the connection to the car. Just switch the phone on and reconnect. This seems only to happen with the first connectkion after a soft reset.

So, both minor issues. The rest works perfect: Connection, audio, phonebook, last call lists ... give 1081 a try :)

Bluetooth probs with Volvo V70

My 2009 V70 has the current volvo bluetooth firmware - my HD2 is up to date with Rom & updates (1.66). Like others I have problems with disconnect from the car and also dialling but then not getting audio output through the stereo.

Volvo say their next BT update (within 6m??) might work/might not work/might even trash the BT on my phone - all at a cost to me of £60-70!!! No thanks...

I do get easy pairing and phone book synchronising, plus recent call history - so at least something works!

Rather than lots of registry tweaking the idea of simply turning the data connection off and then the BT working fine sounds great - but....

What is it the data connection used for? I don't use email push with an Exchange server or anything similar and only sync my email when connected to my pc at home. However I do have CoPilot 8 with Live Services (traffic, fuel, etc.) and wonder if that needs the data connection to function.

Turning data off manually or using NoData would be okay for me as I just want to be able to make/receive calls handsfree through the steering wheel controls as I drive quite a lot - provided my satnav wouldn't be affected.

Any thoughts? Cheers, Mark
[HD2 General] markchip:
a solution??

Well, turning off the data connection has enabled calls to be made and received through the onboard mike and the stereo - but will it compromise the live services on the satnav on my HD2...? Anyone? :confused:

Bury cc 9060

I have my HD2 paired to a BURY CC 9060 which with my previous phone (samsung i900) worked very well with no problems anywhere - however - working now from my HD2 everything works perfectly EXCEPT my address/contacts transfer.

All voice activated calls, all incoming calls, sound system mute - everything is good. The problem is that the address book on the BURY is not recognizing some of my phone numbers from the HD2.

Certain names I voice dial, the BURY will answer "no valid number for this name" yet the number is in the phone which can be dialed out (from the HD) with no problems

I have deleted these numbers/contacts and started again, but still the same problem. Should I be looking at doing something within the registry..?

Any help would be appreciated.
[HD2 General] Looking Glass:
Mostly the same as with BMW BT systems.

Does your in-car BT support it's own dialing tags? (I mean you have to train the system) If so, the HD2 contacts voice tags WILL NOT WORK.

It looks also like the large contacts lists (not sure how many, but not a lot) are not transferred, being that part of an extra problem (I get only contacts from A to E) since both systems "hangs" (HD2 and BT) trying to end the process. I finally "reject" manually the contact list transfer at every conection. It's a real burden, but is the best I've got untill now......

Regards.
[HD2 General] rcooper:
Sorry, not quite sure what you mean re does it support its own dialing tags.

The BURY address book will show up all the contact names, it just won't recognize the numbers from some of those names/contacts.

As I mentioned I never had this problem with the Samsung.

Wouldn't you know it, the numbers it won't bring up are my wife's, my son's and my home number...don't know if thats good or bad...!!
[HD2 General] Looking Glass:
Just an idea, Are those numbers in the phone memory or the SIM card?

Hope it helps.

[HD2 General] rcooper:
numbers/contacts are in the phone memory.
