Strange Bluetooth problem - Help!

[Aidan Bell]

I'm having trouble with Bluetooth. Has anyone else perhaps had similar problems and can help me?

The phone is recognised correctly, connects correctly, uploads phone book and call list information etc correctly. I am able to select and dial a number correctly. But that's all. The number dials, the phone connects, the mobile is silent as it should be, but there is no sound from the audio system. Total silence. That's the first problem. The second problem is that I can not end the call. I have to do that manually on the phone itself. If I try to make another call, the first is still active and so I end up with one on hold. So it seems that Bluetooth is working fine up to the point of connecting a call, at which time it simply stops.
Can anyone possibly shed any light?

Phone is HTC TouchPro2, which I have previously used with two different car radios, with flawless results.

Probably nothing to do with it, but maybe the a2dp is causing the issue? change the bluetooth on the phone to the 'plain' BT? - sorry I don;t have any HTC to try it with anymore

"a2dp"? I have quite a flexible Bluetooth menu, but can't find anything about a2dp. I thought BT was BT was BT? Under what kind of sub menu would I make that change?

I have HTC HD2 which refuses to work with XC60, unless you follow the following ritual. Jump in to car, turn it on so that it recognises the phone, then on phone settings turn off data connections. Wait around 10 seconds, check that it is still turned off and everything should be okay. For some reason the data connection screws everything up on the car and on the phone, if active.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. But at the risk of sounding like an idiot; how do I switch off data connections?! I've never had need to do so before and looking under setting/phone can't find anty such a command.

However; I fear that this is not going to be a suitable fix for me anyway. My email checks automatically every half hour and very often I'm to be found sitting in the front seat looking online and checking emails (when I'm parked up, not whilst driving!), so losing data for the entire time I'm in the car would be of major concern.

This kind of relates to my question about compatibility updates. It seems that not all BT phones are created equal.

Coms manager is explained here on page 89.

It turns out that an old programme had changed a port setting in my Bluetooth, and after a cold re-boot my phone connected to the car good as gold. So that's good news for me and also good news for you, Teejay1, because the HTC TP2 talks with the XC60 just fine after all.
