[HD Mini General] TCapitano:
Hey guys,

I'm trying to connect my HD Mini with my Audi's rSAP adaptor (which is located in the center arm rest, so it's not the Audi in-built MMI-phone module). As far as I know the rSAP adaptor is identical to the adaptors available for VW and Skoda cars(?).

My Mini ist Vodafone branded, the ROM-Version is 1.11.162.1 (87652) GER, Manila-Version is2.5.20131825.1.

All of the first attempts to connect by SAP failed. After entering the 16-digit pin the HD Mini shows a message that the "Sim-Access-Adapter" wants to use a SAP connection. After accepting this screen the Mini shows the SIM Access profile on the bluetooth configuration screen for less than a second and then the HD Mini falls back to a hands-free connection.

After playing around with settings, resetting both devices I gave up and started a support call at Audi and HTC. When Audi tried at least to provide some helpful information, HTC provided less than nothing, their DACH support totally refused to provide anything! :sad: My previous HTC devices all connected fine to the rSAP-adaptor (though they weren't listed to be compatible with the adaptor). My Rose worked fine for months and also my S710 (by using the additional rSap sw-tool) are still able to establish a SAP connection while the HD Mini can't.

Then occurred the strange thing: My Audi MMI display showed the network strength symbol which is only shown if the Audi phone module have booked into my provider's net correctly. :eek:

I looked at the rSAP module: Same thing. It actually has booked into the net, which means the adaptor was able to read the SIM-card information. Next look to the HD Mini's display: It was booked into the net too but showed the "Sim-Access-Adapter" connected with Hands-free mode.

Since I'm using a Vodafone twin-card contract (second card is currently unused) having 2 devices booked into the provider's net can be explained but of course this state was extremly unstable:

My car's adaptor catched an incoming call and when I spoke and heard the voice in my car's speakers the HD Mini stroke back, catched the connection including the ongoing-call and I needed to continue on the HD Mini, while the MMI car's display showed no connection anymore.

Just a few seconds later I must recognize that the battle wasn't over: The car adaptor catched the call, (right now without SAP-mode but Hands-free mode) and I heard my colleague on the speaker again...for 10 seconds and this toggled again and again...:rolleyes:

Since my older HTC gadgets worked fine and also the HD Mini is showing the adaptor's attempt for a SAP mode connection but then falls back to Hands-free-mode, I think that there must be some changes on the phone, bluetooth stack implementation, perhaps something with WM 6.5, it simply looks like a timing issue?

So right now I'm hoping that anyone can provide something useful. Perhaps an expert can point me to the right direction?

My last try would be to clear my second SIM-card on the weekend so that there are no contacts - perhaps this can make the difference... :-\

Any help is greatly appreciated of course!

Thanks and cheers, Alf.

Btw: Great board with tons of helpful information! :)
