Bluetooth Pairing Issue and DCD 3.1.2? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

My Sprint Mogul has the DCD 3.1.2 w/3.39 Radio Rom on it. I just purchased a NoziFree H-1 Beetle (Hearing aid compatable) bluetooth headset (http://www.soundclarity.com/productdetail.asp_Q_id_E_882).
I'm able to get the devices to see each other, but as soon as i move out of of range of the other, plug in the headset to charge or just turn the headset off the devices do not automatically pair back up. I have to delete the Beetle from the bluetooth screen then run through Add New Devices...
When pairing, i'm never prompted for the 4 digit passkey that both the sprint manual and the Beetle manual say is a nessisary step.
Now once they are paired they work great until one of the above situations occur. For fellowing t-coil hearing aid users i HIGHLY recommend this thing!
Under Comm Manager i have the following options for bluetooth checked:
Devices Tab: Shows H-1 Bettle (if i go to partnership settings it has Hands Free checked)
Mode Tab: Turn on Bluetooth & Make this device visible to other devices
COM Ports Tab: Blank
Security Tab: Authentication (Passkey) required
I really think i'm just missing something, i'm also thinking of upgrading to the latest Radio/DCD if that may help, but i didnt' see anything in the change logs for Bluetooth. i just thought i'd ask here first before i call Sprint/NoziFree about it.

Got it
I did a soft reset of my phone and power cycled the Headset and when i ran through the pairing it prompted to enter the passcode. So i did and the devices worked together fine.
I decided to update to the latest Radio Rom and DCD Rom, after doing that i re-paired the devices together but was never prompted for the passcode. Yet everything is working they resync successfully.
Is this to be expected? I'm not familure with how bluetooth works if it's done at the hardware level or software, cause if it was software i would think wiping/upgrading a Rom would force the two devices to have to restablish connection?

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing with headset - never asks for a PIN

I have been trying to pair with my handsfree in my car. I see the device, and when I go to pair, it fails saying "Incorrect Passcode", but it never asks me to enter the passcode (which is 1234).
I have paired this handsfree on many other devices no problem. For some reason the SGS2 just isn't prompting me for the passcode.
I have tried clearing data from the Bluetooth Apps and still the same thing...
Anyone know what else I can try?
Figured this one out.
The handsfree just needed a reset. (Just in case anyone else runs into this.)
Thanks

[Q] How do I get Bluetooth to connect automatically?

Running ICScrewed 2.0.1 and I've been running into a problem over the last few roms I've flashed where my Bluetooth doesn't auto connect.
I have a Jabra Cruzer 2 bluetooth speaker in my car that I've paired with my phone. Tasker is setup to start a menu system when the bluetooth connection is established....but it never happens. I have to go into the BT menu and press on the Jabra device to make it connect. By default it shows "Paired" so I press it and it changes to "Connected".
I know when I had UnNamed previously it was auto connecting everytime I would jump in my car and hit the connect button on the Jabra. It hasn't worked that way since I've gone away from UnNamed. I even tried going back to it and now it doesn't work.
I've checked the Jabra and there's nothing to the settings so I'm 99% sure it has nothing to do with the device.
Does anyone know of a place to tell it auto connect when detected?
Followup question,
I also can't get phone calls to go over the bluetooth device either. Is there special place to look to make sure calls go over bluetooth by default?
Thanks everyone for your responses.
You may have to re pair the device. Did you restore bt pairings when you changed ROMs? That can cause no end to problems, especially when they are different bases.
I have the same Jabra and it connects every time I press the talk/end button on the unit.

I may have somewhere along the line Titaniumed the BT pairing back. But my most recent flash of ICScrewed was preceded by wiping dalvick, clear cache partition, and wipe before installing full. So I'm not sure how anything would have come over unless there was a folder somewhere with bad data.
Is there a folder I should clear out and pair from scratch?

XZ1 and bluetooth

How is bluetooth doing?
I preordered it a couple of weeks ago but I am a little bit worried about. I still can withdraw the order.
I have Sony's SBH54, Bose QC35 and a Peugeot 2008 car stereo, just to explain the case.
Thanks for the help.

Has anyone said there is issues with Bluetooth? I don't have Bluetooth in my car anymore but I had issues sending some files
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ1 using XDA Labs
It has been reported by one fellow on the Sony's forum but he was the only one. He talked about car stereo on a bmw x1.
Curiously, symptoms was similar to the nexus' oreo Bluetooth problem.
I suggested him to get in touch with the car dealer but when I found the nexus thread I became a little bit worried: I have to drive a lot for commuting and I need noise cancellation at work, hence car stereo and qc35.
I had a Z5 and recently bought the XZ1. I use bluetooth on my car stereo on a daily basis and never had issues with the Z5.
The XZ1 however, is a hit and miss. It would connect fine but sometimes it either won't display media information or I won't be able to use media controls on my car stereo. Most of the time it would work just fine.
A solution which worked has been setting AVCRP to version 1.4 by developer options under the Bluetooth section.
QC35 are still to be tested because they've been sent to service, but car stereo and Sony SBH54 are fine.
I've already reported the solution to Sony's tech support.
XZ1 compact here.
No problems with my QC35, also no problem with my old car's bluetooth handsfree system (2005).

Old things used to be built better.
Thanks for the QC35 check.
I have noticed delays connecting initially to devices but fine after. I have noticed connection issues though with the new "near bluetooth" protocol. I can't connect to a Roomba Braava Jet at all.
Just found this, trying to test as we speak.

I have no problems using my xz1 with my srs-x11 and my peugeot 208 Bluetooth system. Mine works fine
XZ1 Compact Bluetooth complete failure
I have issues with all Bluetooth devices I regularly used with my previous phone. That includes a few portable bluetooth speakers like Ion Plunge or Philips PixelPop (connects but music does not play, hit or miss, had to forget and reconnect the devices manually almost every time), 3 different brand car bluetooth handsfrees including Volkswagen Go! bluetooth system, Opel Vauxhall integrated bluetooth, Renault Traffic integrated bluetooth. On car bluetooth either information is not displayed on the screen or device cannot be controlled from the car controls, sometimes when autoconnected to Volkswagen Go I see mute sign on the screen when my phone is not muted and music supposed to be playing. So much frustration considering that I got used to not having any issues with my old iPhone that I personally hated for many other reasons.
In case you guys haven't seen yet, there's various fixes coming with android's november update that should address most, if not all of those issues.
EDIT: I stand corrected, the mentioned updates are for the Nexus/Pixel devices, though I'm sure they'll be integrated into the Xperia device's software as well eventually.
I don't know where to put this, but this is the first thread that shows up on Google so I'll put it here.
I have had nothing but issues pairing my phone to the radio on my Hyundai Elantra. The headunit would report that it pairs successfully, but my XZ1 compact would never actually connect. Eventually "ELANTRA" would appear in my phone and the only Bluetooth feature available is Contact Sharing.
A few weeks ago some random method of me pairing and unpairing got it to work and I left it alone. I recently had to wipe my phone and start over, so I had to figure out how to pair this stupid thing again. I took note of what I did so I could share for others (and for myself when I have to wipe my phone in the future).
Delete all stored devices on your phone and headunit, and then go through the pairing process again. At the moment you successfully type in the Bluetooth pin code and hit pair, kill the power to the headunit. In my case, the radio lady was in the middle of saying "pairing complete" when I turned the key off.
The phone should switch from "Pairing" to "connecting", at which point you can turn the key back on. It should finish pairing and connect.
Hopefully this helps someone
I have a plantronics BT headset paired to my XZ1 compact and it kept disconnecting and reconnecting the next second. Sometimes the BT would show that is is connected but when i make a call, it isn't connected to the BT headset. I emailed support and follow their instructions below and still have the same problem, anybody experiencing the same? Hope there is a solution to fix this problem soon.

Like the others I also have problem with the Bluetooth after updating to Android 9 on my XZ1.
The problem is on my car Head unit, I can play song thorugh Bluetooth without any problems but when I receive a phone call or make a call although Bluetooth is still turned on but the voice come from the phone and sometimes it switches between the head unit and the phone repeatedly so I have to turn the Bluetooth off and answer the phone. About Bluetooth Avrcp which is on 1.6, some said if you put it on 1.4 might fix the problem but it didn't. And I also checked the avrcp For Android 8 is also on 1.6 and I never had such problems on Android 8. This all happened after updating to 9.
It's been months I'm searching for a solutions and I'd be grateful if someone could help.

Any way to completely reset bluetooth on Oreo 8.1 w/o doing a factory reset?

I have a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with stock Oreo. Not rooted (yet ) and probably going to put a custom ROM in soon.
I just bought an Innuevo Bluetooth keyboard (older - BT 3.0) and was able to pair it almost immediately. It worked fine, but when I went to use it again (after turning the keyboard off to save power), it wouldn't pair. I unpaired the keyboard on the tablet, and unfortunately the tablet's BT no longer detects the keyboard at all.
Have tried everything troubleshooting-wise: clear cache, reset network settings, off/on/scan a million times, different BT connection app... nothing. It simply doesn't see it.
My Windows 10 laptop was able to detect the keyboard and start the pairing, but crappy Windows 10 keep aborting the pair procedure (e.g., typing in the code) early. Then the keyboard also disappeared from the laptop's BT radar. (Event log has lot of BT low-power warnings in it so I'm thinking it's Windows being Windows.) The keyboard briefly appeared on the detection list but then disappeared after several unsuccessful pair attempts.
Any idea if there's a way I can totally nuke the BT (other than a factor reset) to see if it'll detect it again? Also wondering if using Lineage or a other AOSP/non-TW ROM would help.
Thank you!!!

Parrot MKi9200 with Galaxy S2

I've recently upgraded my ROM on my S2 i9100 phone from the standard 4.1.2 official to various unofficial ROMs. None of these allow me to use the hands-free features of the MKi9200 device. All of them will pair with the Parrot but the phone-book does not sync. Pressing the green button on the Parrot (which should allow you to voice dial) simply gives the message "phonebook is busy please wait".
I have reached out to Parrot without any joy to date even after 8 emails each way. My symptoms to them were along the following lines.
"1. The phone pairs with the MKi9200 still but still does not automatically connect when I get into the car.
2. After pairing the phone, the menu item “Bluetooth/paired phones” is still greyed out. It used to have my phone listed there before I upgraded. I guess that this is why the MKi does not automatically connect.
3. As noted above, I have to manually connect my phone now, whereas before I upgraded the smartphone Android version, it connected automatically. When it does connect, it says it is synchronising for a second or two.
4. I can dial a number using the “Phonebook” on the MKi device using the central knob and the menu system. I cannot use the green button as it always says the “phonebook is busy please wait”, even after 15 minutes.
5. When I finish a call, the iPod music does not restart automatically and I cannot start it manually using the “Play” button. The green play icon appears for a few seconds then goes away. I can play a track/playlist by selecting it from the menu system and the central knob.
6. I can play music from my iPod through the MKi9200 but when I press Pause, the red “pause” icon appears and the MKi “freezes”. I have to reboot the MKi to get it to work again.
7. I have tried various options for pairing the phone such as “force AT sync” but none have worked yet."
Any clues from anyone would be very welcome. I've had the Parrot for nearly 10 years and love it. I know it still o=works as I can pair an old phone (with my SIM card in it) and it works flawlessly. There is clearly something about unofficial ROMs that it doesn't like.
For info, I have always installed Micro GAPS or lower and have tried disabling bluetooth scanning and the software "Bluetooth File Transfer (Android)" by Medieval (versions 5.2 and the latest).
Parrot say the MKi9200 is not compatible with Android 8 but I have tried various other ROMs below that with no success.
Apologies if this post is in the wrong place but it seems to be an unofficial ROM thing to me. I feel there is something in these ROMs which is not compatible with my Parrot and was hoping someone would know what that was.
