bluetooth connect/disconnects after rooting - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I rooted and have s-off but have an issue since. My bluetooth headset will no longer stay connected to the phone (constant connect/disconnect). I tried to do a fix permissions via recovery as well as wipe cache/dalvik cache which didnt help and caused all of my contact pictures (in the messaging app too) to no longer show. Any suggestions as to get my bluetooth working again?

This has been hit or miss as I have flashed about 5 different roms and sometimes the bluetooth is more sensitive. I just flashed the newest radio update and was hoping that would fix that problem.

I flashed the new radios yesterday and it doesn't appear to correct the problem. This is frustrating as I just bought the EVO LTE (coming from OG EVO) along with a brand new earpiece and can't use the earpiece. I haven't flashed any ROMs yet, still running stock.

I'm running the 8/31 build of cmx and my Bluetooth audio disconnects occasionally and sometimes requires a reboot to connect. Also my phone calls rarely go to my Bluetooth.

[Q] EB01 - Bluetooth issues?

My car, 07 Acura TL Type S has always synced via bluetooth for handsfree with my Fascinate until I loaded EB01, Anyone else having this issue? I put the phone in visible mode and the car should find it. It does not. When I scan with the phone for bluetooth connections, it finds the car but the car does not allow you to initiate bluetooth connections from the phone.
Mine had no issues with the car, I just had to re-type in the code to pair them. However my phone did ask to do so.

Welp
I used my wife's phone which is a HTC EVO and it connected to my car's bluetooth without a hitch. Soooo, I went reloaded the EB01 ROM and Radio and yes I wiped the data and cleared the cache. Tried to connect MY phone again and I had NO luck. Should I order yet another phone? This is my 2nd fascinate. The previous one connected to my car's bluetooth just fine using EB01 but the vibrate motor worked only when it wanted to. One thing I must note, the bluetooth on my new phone connected to my mac book pro just fine. I was able to transfer files from the mac to the phone via bluetooth.
Keith7120- did you restore the system settings using an application like titanium backup after flashing eb01? I had some problems with Bluetooth after doing that on DL30.

I'm having Bluetooth issues as well...my phone connects fine, but after hanging up a call something happens where it drops the connection and the only way to get it back is to turn off bluetooth on the phone and turn the stereo off, then turn bluetooth back on the phone and then turn the stereo back on. Even though the connection gets dumped the stereo is not recognizing it.
When streaming music or podcasts the behavior is that the phone is streaming, a call is placed (or comes in) which pauses the stream and then when the call has ended the stream should resume. In my case I get the dreaded "force close" vibrate series (vibrate, pause, then 2 vibrates) but I never get a force close message. The content that was streaming attempts to stream and then stops and the connection is gone at that point.
I'm very frustrated at this point as I have taken the time to reinstall everything from scratch, wiping the phone to factory, deleting dalvik cache, regular cache, wiping, etc. from recovery. It worked last night in testing and it worked initially this morning. And then a little later this morning it went back to not working.

Yes i did restore the system settings using Titanium coming from DL30. How do i skip that part during the restore?. I suppose i can figure that out within Titanium. Reset phone, wipe, then re-flash EB01 ROM and Radio. Restore but do not restore system settings. I will give it a shot. Thanks!
Bluetooth issue SOLVED!

Thanks for that idea, I reflashed my phone and I did NOT auto restore system settings using Titanium and Walla! I have working bluetooth in my car again. The steps I took were:
1. wiped phone/factory reset
2. re-flashed the EB01 modem
3 re-installed/flashed the EB01 ROM
4. once booted up, headed right for the car to pair bluetooth(worked!)
5. restored apps one by one through titanium.
6. went back to the car to see if the bluetooth worked (it did)
7. Issue SOLVED
what did you leave out when you retored all of you apps? did you leave out all system data?
i was having the same issue, tried above and seems like its all fixed up now, appreciate the help
I'm running sc2.7.1 (based on eb01/eb16) and my bt works fine except that it will not connect to my headset automatically. I have to go into settings...etc then click on the headset to get it to connect. It should poll for paired headsets and connect automatically if one is available but it doesn't. It stays connected until the headset it turned off with no problems though.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Not a deal-breaker, just a minor annoyance.

[Q] Bluetooth issue with Ford Sync?

I think this is the proper place for this, but feel free to call me names if it's not.
I just bought a Focus, and was using the Sync system with my Thunderbolt with no issue. Then about a week ago, I switched over to using CM7, now I can't make an outgoing call. There's no volume in the car, and if I manually turn Bluetooth off on the phone, I can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.
The weird thing is that if I get an incoming call, I can answer it through the car, and everything works without problem. I also don't have any issues like this with other Bluetooth devices. I've tried deleting the connection between car and phone, and re-pairing them, but get the same result.
Anyone who could suggest something would be my hero!
only thing I can think of is that cm7/aosp roms use a different BT stack then sense based roms (stock or otherwise). I'm guessing this stack which is usually better, isn't doing something right. I would try a sense based rom and see if your problems resolve.

I'm using TheROM V4 (aosp) rom, and previously was using CM7. Have been able to sync with SYNC with no problems. I would try deleting the BT connection in your car first, then re-pair your phone. If that doesn't work, try downloading and flashing CM7 again. If that does not work, and you like AOSP ROMs, then try one of the other ones (OMGB, OMFGB, TheROM, or Thunderstick).
Sometimes my sync starts acting up in my 2009 focus. Only thing that remedies it is a master reset on your sync under system settings and then pair the device again.

You also might want to check if your sync system has the latest updates from syncmyride dot com.

[q] Bluetooth on AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs

Has bluetooth been fixed on any 4.2.2 ROM yet?
I've been having the following issue on the ParanoidKangdroid ROM which from what I've been reading is typical of the BT issue
If I use BT to make a call from my car, or stream audio then turn BT off, it won't re-enable without rebooting. Whilst my company requires my phone to be off whilst I work, I play with the spirit of their rules by sending it to airplane mode instead, in order to still use time based alarms.

I haven't come across any roms that have completely fixed it. Even the stock 4.1.2 rom was giving me a lil trouble. I learned to leave it on, or reboot if I needed it. I'm guessing that your not to worried about battery power since you leave it on all day just for alarms. So why not just leave it on?
It's amazing how much the battery doesn't drain when you turn off all of the radios (except for wifi*, will I'll expand on later) for 7 hours 50 minutes of an 8 1/2 hour period, only using the phone for 40 minutes during that period.
* I leave wifi on to automate "Work Mode' using Tasker. Tasker uses Wifi to detect one of the networks at work, which when detected, activates Airplane mode (which another couple of profiles deactivate airplane mode for break & lunchtime.) , turns on a number of Gentle Alarms, and undoes everything when the network is no longer in range.
I use Secure Settings to remove wifi from the list of radios controlled by airplane mode so that Tasker can still check for the work wifi, and I could do the same for BT, but I'd like to reduce as much unnecessary battery usage as possible.
ON JamieD81's roms especially Carbon Rom not having any issues I use it daily in my car connect to the phone and plays music no searching for devices staying on the screen works right away and quickly connects.

Does it come back on again after toggling it off without rebooting? I',m currently using Jamie's last ParanoidKangdroid build and I have to reboot to regain BT after turning it off.
I have not found a way to do it without rebooting. Really hoping the next Cm release fixes this, as someone who uses bt all the time for music, I probably hate this more than random reboots
I just tried it on the Carbon Rom and it worked perfectly I can turn it on then off then on no problems.

Sorry to be a pain, but...
Can you use your BT (not just connect to a paired device but, stream audio or make a call), then turn it off, and turn it on again?
It has no problems I connected in the car on my way to and from work, went to the store today no problems no reboot I turned it off then on then off. And I can make calls and stream music on my car stereo and laptop.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm skeptical... why would Carbon Rom be different than any of the other current CM bases? I'm even using the stable Nexus ROM from Jamie and it still has this problem consistently... But alas, I will give it a shot!
FWIW, I have just installed Jamie's latest Slimbean ROM which he advertised as having a new kernel in the hope that the kernel has addressed this issue.

Nevermind, problem started again today, DOH
Installed Carbon last night, and found that Bluetooth turned itself off and refused to come back on again without a reboot within ten minutes of initially turning it on.
I use Bluetooth daily. I'm on AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42101680
So far it's working flawlessly, where as before on 4.2.2 roms Off had the same experience as you.

Bluetooth wouldn't start on the second boot up with that Rom :-\
Wow. Sorry to hear

Seems like it's just a deeply embedded problem with all of these Roms, and for whatever reason, some treat others devices nicer than others. I went back to Jellybeer, which only has this issue every once and awhile. Still there though.

issues since 4.4.2 update

It's only been a couple days since i updated but so far all has not been smooth like it was with the last ota update.
SMS has been quirky..missed texts and wrong time stamps. May just be the google hangouts app. I will be using stock messaging app until i figure this out.
Also noticed issues with bluetooth and ford sync..albeit an older 2012 version of sync. Audio stutters and sync doesn't recognize the phone unless I manually seek bluetooth devices. Had to delete old phone connection in the sync settings and re-pair the phone to my car. Seems to be normal now.
Haven't noticed lower connection speeds but I haven't really tested 4G much yet.
I haven't s-off or rooted this phone yet. So I didn't think of even doing a factory reset..may not be a bad idea at this point.
Sorry if this is not new info just wondering what general issues people are encountering.
I would suggest doing a factory reset. With Roms it is always recommended when upgrading major versions of Android to do it clean, and I recommend the same with stock software. I've done stock updates and had issues, but after clean wiping everything went back to normal. I'm rooted and soff but using the stock software and it has been running great without any of the issues you are having. Try a factory reset and see what happens.

[Q] Bluetooth issue

Hiya,
So I managed to get my phone rooted and flashed a new ROM or two (PACMan and CM10 and 11) and in each one the bluetooth was essentially not there. I could toggle the switch, but no bluetooth would show up, and the actual bluetooth menu is empty. I've searched a bit and couldn't really find a definative statement on the issue. Is it just me? or did i miss some note stating the issue?
I'm on CM11 and have had no issues with Bluetooth.

I haven't issues too
Interesting. So I just tried to run Tablet Talk and it said Bluetooth isn't supported by this device.
No BT issues here.
I updated to m9 today and Bluetooth would not connect then would not turn on when I tried to cycle it I wiped cache and dalvik cache rebooted and it connected fine. Might try that if it's still not working for you.

Thanks for the reply. So i did a bit of experimenting. First I went back to stock. BT actually worked. Next reloaded CM11. Again BT was OK. The I restored my backup data. Suddenly BT was not OK. So I simply went back to a clean CM11 install and loaded my data bit by bit. I never actually figured out what was causing the issue - the issue being that something was telling the phone that it did not have bluetooth capabilities - but I imagine that it was so specific and unlikely that it isn't much of a concern.
That is interesting about the davlic cache. I did not try that.
