Simultaneous connection of more than one BT device - Omnia II General

I got my i8000 two days ago. I've got two BT related challenges.
1. Running the stock ROM, I've had a BT watch (SmartWatchM sw)connected and paired with it. Then I wanted to pair my Plantronics 645 headset with it as well. The BT manager shows both units, but as I paired the headset, the phone disconnected the watch.
2. I walked out of range with my BT headset. It disconnected. As I came back I expected the phone and headset to be paired again automatically. This did not happen. Now both the watch and the phone show up as disconnected in the BT manager.
For 1. a) To have both connected simultaneously I figure I need to add another com port. Is this correct?
For b ) I cannot find the step-by-step instructions on how to do that in the user manual nor in the advanced user guide. Anyone knows the steps?
For 2. What do I need to do to make the two units re-pair without having to go through the whole pairing procedure?
Thanks!

Logitech Bluetooth Headset & XDAII

I am not having much luck with my new headset.
First time I bond the headset it works fine, but once bluetooth tools shuts down the bluetooth after a call, the headset it never gets it back correct.
The headset will still link and the call button will take the call, but I can't communicate.
After you have taken a call on the headset, is there a way of getting the call back onto the xda?
I even tried leaving the bluetooth on all the time but that wasn't that successful either.
Anyone else using the logitech can they please advise me how they manage it's use.
Thanks.
I have been using logitech BT headphones love the unit. I dont have any problems except for the delay for it to connect to the phones. I have to wait for about 2 seconds before its connected to the phones when receiving calls. BTW I have been using it for the past 6 months. 8)
Do you use Bluetooth tools or just the stock standard bluetooth support?
Thanks.

bluetooth stereo headset problems on mogul

i just got a pair of philips SHB6100 bluetooth stereo headphones/handsfree, and i'm seeing a strange issue.
The first time i pair the headphones with my Mogul they work great throught the standard WMP. If i walk away from the headphones (with my phone) so that they get seperated, i cannot get them to work again once they come back in range without removing the bluetooth device, and re-pairing the two devices. When the two devices come back in range, i can initiate voice activation from the headphones, but no audio from WMP is sent, reopening WMP and soft resets don't fix the issue.
Has anyone seen similar problems?
I'm using all stock drivers / rom.
i have the same problem .
The way i found around this is to go to Bluetooth manager .Press on the name of your head phone on the list .And sellect set as wireless stereo.
and they pair up again.
Thanks ace29ace

Yep, the same thing here with my Sony HWSBTA2W Bluetooth Transciever. Oddly though, my Moto S9 headphones work without having to do this, all I have to do is do something on the headphones like change volume and they instantly pair up again.

Bluetooth - connect Stereo Audio + Hands-free together(?)

I have the following problem when connecting the HD2 with bluetooth to my car stereo:
The car stereo is capable of BT-phone (Hands-free) as well as BT-audio (Stereo Audio) connection. The connections are made automatically (connections are set and authorized) indicated with two different symbols indicating each connection.
The following occurs:
A. When connecting the HD2 for the FIRST time to this stereo, both BT-phone and BT-audio do connect automatically. This can be monitored by the two symbols on the car stereo, and also in the bluetooth connection monitor on HD2.. both Stereo Audio and Hands-free are connected, indicated by the green arrows.
B. When connecting the HD2 again (so anytime but first time), ONLY BT-phone does connect automatically!
The BT-audio connection I can connect when I need to, but this can be done only manually in the bluetooth settings on the HD2 by ticking the Stereo Audio entry.
In case B it makes no change if I check or uncheck the "Connect seperately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services" checkbox in the connection properties on the HD2. Makes no difference.
Also, a normal stereo bluetooth headset connects both BT-phone and BT-audio at all times,
So for the car I would like to also have Stereo Audio connect automatically too (like Hands-free). For the HD2 I have tried several ROMs and several soft/hard resets to make sure it is a problem which always occurs..
Why does the car stereo only connect both services the first time the connection is made, and afterwards only the phone handsfree service?

using fiscon mobile.
at the same time i have quality issues (no bass or low sampling rate). but i guess this is a fiscon problem? it was the same with my previous i-phone.
Audio quality is fine here. Is the connection issue a Windows Mobile bug?

on a fiscon? are you using a fiscon as well?
I don't know if this is helpful, however I have an IO Play system in my car and it connects automatically everytime for both handsfree and audio streaming.
Works fine for me with my Lidl (!) Silvercrest car stereo. But for me the HD2 has to be playing audio/music for the Bluetooth streaming to work.
FYI - my car stereo is an Eclipse 3200
Have the same issue with A2DP Bluetooth headphones/handsfree.
While the device recognised it as Bluetooth stereo and handsfree and on a first connection both connections are active in device profile, on any other connections only handsfree connects authomatically. And I need to mannually connect stereo in Bluetooth manager :/
Same here :S
Every time i connect my Nokia BT Headphones " Hands free" connects automatically and "Stereo audio" not
I also have exactly the same problem. only BT-Phone connects, not BT-Audio.
I have a Sony headunit. Seen as I guess we all have different headunits in our cars, it must be an issue with the HD2 not the stereo.

I have a Sony car stereo.
Same here except in my case I have a cheapy Tevion (Aldi) headunit. This is a real pain in the neck if you stop and turn off the engine of the car because then I have to reconnect BT Audio again
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this also happens with A2DP stereo headsets with combined audio+HF.. Don't know why though..
Had this problem with my HTC Diamond, and now with my HD2.. Search for "A2DP Toggle"..
It defintiely happens with some A2DP headsets - I have a Sony headset and it happens on that. You have to manually connect A2DP profile each time.
We need an A2DP toggle for the HD2 Widcomm stack ...

I have a Sony headset which connects both BT Audio and BT Phone together, and a Sony Car stereo which connects only BT Phone.
I have the exact same issue with my JVC car head unit, should be able to connect to use as hands-free and stream music, but neither will retain a connection. I can't connect and pair the devices with the '000' (or whatever I choose) BT pairing code. My previous mobile worked perfectly and auto-connected as it should every time.
I submitted it as a support request on HTC (UK) site, here is my response:
Thank you for your enquiry.
The Bluetooth accessory you have mentioned may not be fully compatible with the HTC handset so may have limited features to be used with the device. For example you maybe able to pair it but other faults may occur. Please keep an eye on our website for any future updates such as Bluetooth patches and ROM upgrades. We cannot confirm if and when these may or may not become available.
As a test, you maybe able to delete all Bluetooth partnerships/devices from your handset and start the pairing process again.
Is it working now?
As an alternative solution please see compatible and recommended Bluetooth accessories in the Buy section of our website below:
(Link to 'HD2 Bluetooth Accessories' page of their website)
Please let us know how you get on and we will assist you further if and when required as a matter of urgency.
Best regards,
Mat

Not the response I wanted, and when I have followed up on this reply I got the same copy/pasted text response! Upon following up on that reply I think they gave up on me as I haven't got a reply this time!
Basically, they want me to go out and spend another couple of hundred £ on more equipment to achieve my hands-free (without an earpiece) requirement, even though I already have the equipment but can't make it connect!!

HTC is getting better and better at standard responses. However there are also helpful and knowledgeable people on the other side of the communication line.
Approved bluetooth says nothing, as if they will try to test every bluetooth device in the world, even sold prior to the birth of the HD2... right.
However the problem is perhaps more WinMo related and not only HD2. But I have only the HD2 to test with..
AND WHILE WRITING... I see that also sony stereo headset is connected as BT Phone... guess we need a small tool to connect bluetooth easily.
I think its a combination of the software in the Bluetooth device and the host. My Sony headset would also require manual A2DP connection with my previous phone - an Eten. As others have posted here other Sony headsets will pair with the HD2 automatically for A2DP.

I can also confirm this "bug". Can't get my A2DP device (BCK-08) to connect (itself) as BT Stereo. Everytime reconnects automatically in HF mode. That really sucks.

Bluetooth Audio Problem

Hello.
I have just bought a Dell Streak in Dubai. It was android 2.1 and I was able to immediately update it to 2.2. It works beautifully, is fast and does everything I throw at it and more.
Problem:
Bluetooth audio simply does not work. I have tried pairing it with my car kit, a nokia headset, a jabra headset and a generic bluetooth headset. It pairs fine with the headsets and phone calls seem to go to the headset but there is no audio in the headset. The person on the other side also cannot hear anything. And after i press the bluetooth button during the call to bring the call back to the phone, the headset(or car kit) seems "locked" and only gets free when I switch off bluetooth on the streak.
Bluetooth file transfer works fine and I have tested it with a samsung galaxy s. But it doesnt work for phone calls. It is a major problem as it is difficult to use the device without the bluetooth on a regular basis and especially in the car.
I would appreciate any help in this matter as I love the device but as I spend considerable amount of my time driving, it is getting very annoying.
I had originally posted this on the Dell support forum and I was recommended to post it in the XDA forum.
Thanks
Babar Malik
I use my dell streak with my motorola s10 bt headset and my car bt handsfree system and have no issues at all.
Maybe try un-pairing all devices and repairing them and testing then one at a time and see is that helps. Askari when a device is connected go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and see if you can tap and hold on the connected bt item and see if you can adjust its settings.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Thanks for the assist but i tried unpairing and pairing but it did not work. Not too many options in the menus to change so I am pretty much stuck here.
As I have updated to android 2.2 from 2.1 which came with the phone, would a factory reset send the system back to 2.1 and then i can check whether bluetooth works or not? I mean, I cant think of anything else to do.
Is it possible that something i have downloaded or installed on the sd card is causing audio conflict with the bluetooth audio?
Thanks

[Q] two BT channel. Do it exist?

Hi,
on my Sony Z1 (I think the same of Z2) with 4.4.4 android. I want to connect two devices:
- one headset
- one BT car device
Is it possible? I mean: can I connect the headset and then (when I enter on my car) connect with the BT car device? I think I could do that just using two different BT channel
Am I in the right way or not?
And, if yes, how can I choose a particular channel to connect with a particular gadget?
TIA
Renato
Go to quick settings and use the "Throw" utility to select which device to connect to.
This assumes you have already paired with different devices
I just connected SONY BT headset (official PS3 headset) and SONY A/V receiver (Throw option) and both appear connected.
Music and sound effects from games go to A/V receiver and voice from phone calls are heard on headset.
Working as intended.
