[Q] Pairing Legend with Holux M-1200 Bluetooth GPS Receiver - Legend General

Hi,
I've been trying to pair my Legend (updated to HTC Android 2.2) with Holux M-1200 bluetooth GPS receiver but without success, I kept getting "wrong PIN or passkey" error. The strange thing is that I can pair this same Holux M-1200 with Desire and Wildfire (both running HTC Android 2.2) without any problem. Does this means Legend's Android 2.2 is not the same as Desire and Wildfire?
I drive to the neighbor country quite often and since I don't have a data roaming plan and it usually take me a very long time (5~10 minutes) to get a gps location fix without data access.
Is there a work around to get this working? Or even better, is there a way to have a faster gps fix without using data (something like QuickGPS in HTC TD2 running WM?)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Its better to contact htc customer care and report the issue.
There are many frustrating unsolved bluetooth issues with legend.
For me, its with my blaupunkt bluetooth audio in my car stereo.
It might pair, but many a times the audio isn't routed through the bluetooth even if its paired and connected.

hi, don't know if you ever got this sorted, but I had the exact same issues with a stock legend and a qstarz q818xt gpsr (and I believe the qstarz gpsrs use very similar hardware to the holux ones, if not exactly the same!)
I eventually found that by rooting (not trivial as I had to downgrade) and then flashing CM7 rom onto my legend I was able to get the device to pair easily, it appears to be an issue with the bluetooth stack in the stock rom.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the info. I've decided to stick with stock ROM as I still prefer Sense UI and some Sense's widgets. For the time being, well, just switch on the gps once in a couple of days, that helps......
Cheers,

Bluetooth turns off randomly by itself

Hi all,
I'm running original WM06 ITA on my x7500 and I'm experiencing this problem:
when I receive a call I can't answer with my BT headset because X7500 BT is turned off even if it was on, so that I have to activate it again. So the problem is that X7500 BT turns off by itself very often in a day. How can I solve this problem? Any fix available?
THX so much!
hi
i have the same problem. this thing happens 2-5 times a day to me. the wicked thing is that somtimes it works perfect 1 or 2 days and when you think no everything is fine 'pop' its there again. fact is that bluetooth simply disappears, the indicator on athena is still blinking blue and the commanager tells bt is on, but my bt-headset (and other devices) signals that the bt connection is gone, also other devices cant find the athena any longer. i have to disable/enable bt in the commanager to get the functionality of bt back. i was thinking about returning the device for repair, but fearing the discussion of not using the original rom (the one with the superugly optical improvements of the provider ). and because maby it's a rom problem. my config is:
htc rom 2.21.407.1 (07/18/07) with extrom:2.21.407.101.
3 bt-headsets 1. sony hbh-ds220, 2. moto s705 and moto ht-820. all 3 are working fine with my universal but having these problem with the athena.

Hi...so we have the same problem...
I have the original HTC ROM just restored on my device and I have the problem. I read about it somewhere, other people with same problem but I can't remember where...
yes we are not alone i found serval posts on the net for htc and other brands like these:
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/...thread.id=27495&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=867111
but no solutions. the only meaningful thing was for wm5, there is a fix of the bluetooth stack by microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;913683&x=13&y=14) but i did not found one for wm6.

Hi guys.
I'm sorry to say that I had, a long while ago, the same problem with my Universal, and after a whole lot of tweaking, tinkering, and kinky massaging, all that was left to do was to have the device replaced. It definitly was a hardware problem, alas... :-(
I've had mine almost 4 months, stock 7501 ROM, and no problem like that ever. I leave BT turned on all the time. Sounds like a hardware problem.
been there done that fixed that
hi all,
yes, until I found the coolest und most functional BT headset, the cheapy prior ones caused same faults, even to the point of a hard reset ... why, well
no help to be found, just the notion of thinking and knowing, that the cheapy hardware out there was casuing it, not the htc.
example, some devices go into a kind of sleep mode and disconnect if not used, then while the htc still thinks its connected, it gets no reply from your other BT device. Take many SW packages or HW devices on your PC even, unplug the network and u´ll see, even they have unforseen problems ...
have fun, try HW makers like HAMA or Samsung, they rarely disappoint.

Aaaahhhh, I'm not alone.
Same problem here, but ONLY afair with WM6 (I'm using WM6, T-Mobile Germany). I can't remember, that I had this problem with the original T-MOB WM5 ROM.

hi
i dont know if you read the post's above, but if you do you will see that the pda is turning off the bt, so it dont matter if you use one of the 'fantastic products' of hama (yes i also read your other 2 'advertising' posts of your overall 3 for them ). or any cheap crap stuff from sony or motorola like i do.
anyhow to came back to the real problem, i called my provider today and after explaining the problem, they suprise me with a complete hasselfree swap of the device to a new one in the beginning of the next week. when i get the new device i will test it first with the rom that installed, and then switch to the htc rom again to see if the problem returns again, i post the results here.
bye mad
Yeah, I think they're probably aware there's something wrong with some bluetooth chips, both on the Athena and Universal....
hi,
with wm6,
i have tested a BT 1.1 headset (Conceptronics) and works fine, without problems.
also, i have tested 2 BT 1.2 headsets (LG Style-i and Supertooth Nano). In the 2 cases, i have your related problems.
in my opinion, wm6 has a problem with the headsets that implements the 1.2 protocol.
all the headsets works fine with wm5.
regards
I have same problem with HTC Advantage running WM6 with LG Style-i headset ...
With my LG Style-i it keeps disconecting but with my SE BT headset it works fine (PK 3.0 Dual ROM) so in my case the BT on the phone doesnot turmn itself off, just has problems connecting.
Someone sugested a diff radio ROM might fix it - if so, does anyone know which radio does not implement the 1.2 protocol?
I'm using 1.47.51.00
hi there
i'm using my replacement athena for nearly one week now, and had not a single 'shutdown' of bt, not with the se ds220 nor with the moto 705 headset. i use the official german tmobile wm6 roms and not the htc version i used on the replaced athena. so it is not totaly clear if the change of the device or of the rom is making the difference, all other software packages are installed again. it also seems that the system is more stable overall in my every day usage, but that might be only my personal feeling.
mad
*EDIT* one more thing i noticed now is that when a call came in the sound is now played in the bt headset. before the sound came out of the speakers of the athena, and the bt headset only play its standard ringtone. seems that now everything is the way it should be .

hi,

Bluetooth and HTC touch problems

Does anyone else have a problem with their Bluetooth and HTC touch? I have tried 2 motorola and a LG BT headset and no one can hear me, but I can hear them. I tried pairing and repairing. I deleted it and added it as a new device. I have even tried the BT with another phone and it works with that phone with no problems, so I know it's my phone. I even tried a hard reset. Does anyone have a solutoin to this problem? I have the latest ROM update from HTC's website for a Bell HTC touch. My motorola headset was working fine, but I think after the latest Bell ROM update it stopped. Does anyone else have this problem or can anyone suggest a solution? thanks. paul.
my jawbone did this but my plantanics 510 fine
My jawbone works fine but there's a problem using hands free connection with my '05 range rover. The phone and the truck connect but then the connection is dropped. My buddy has a motorola razor and his phone works great w/my truck. It appears to be my phone that's the problem. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks so much.

This thread is 7 months old...
What ROM are you running?
I am running the NFSFAN 6.5 rom V11 and have he same issue with a motorola BT headset.
edit: i just noticed that the initial question was about a newer ROM update and bluetooth, but ill leave my initial reply here, cuz i often look for solution in old posts, so if this can help anybody :
NFSFAN 6.5 rom V11 and bluetooth
i dunno, but my bluetooth stuff somehow works with the 6.1 update, if you cant find any working solution within an hour, id suggest using a "well tried and tested" ROM version, like the 6.1
i stopped picking the "latest and greatest" in cars, devices, apps, or O.S. for the last two years, and been living a whole lot happier since.
about my 6.1 bell mobility ROM and bluetooth :
i like to tweak my weapons alot, my htc touch has a 6.1 ROM update, and i use bluetooth everyday, and it KINDA works well, enough for me anyway...
listening to mp3 and flv everyday on the transit,
then switching at work on the audio dongle adaptor on the pc,
using an pair of sonorix bsh-100 ( foldable stereo headset + optional plug-in mike)
to me the thruth is that bluetooth is a ****ty technology, i love it, and it's well taught,
but the developpers quickly code ****ty interfaces to it.
my settings all work from htc touch to dongle, but i often have to connect the touch to the headset like up to 3 times, where it tells me its connected, but isnt, when i hear the beep, it means it actually IS.
same at work, connect sometimes once, twice, even four, it eventually connects.
it's isnt button wear off or bad contact, its just the code is ****.
i rented a SUV that had bluetooth, tried connecting my phone, worked first time, a week later we rented the same SUV model, and for the whole trip i wasnt able to connect at all... back at the rental we tested the SUV with the clerck htc touch ( nice coincidence ) it worked right away.
i want to add here that whenever i try to connect through bluetooth, it usually works the first time.
my point is, bluetooth creators did a fine innovative job, but werent supported by developpers.
test your bluetooth phone alot with friends owning bluetooth accessories, youll detect behaviors after a while, and will learn to know its "demons" !

V13 seemed to fix the issue
Just upgraded to V13, seems like BT works a lot better.
A bit on my history with BY, I just upgraded from a motorola V710, had a Moto Q for a few months too. Never had any issues with BT using the same Motorola BT earpiece, and varouis others through the last 5 years or so. Always worked like a champ, this was my first experience with BT issues.

HTC Hero/Magic Bluetooth

i have a hero rom on my htc magic and everything works perfectly except the bluetooth audio,
is it possible to somehow install the original htc magic bluetooth instead of the one that comes with hero rom to get it working like before?
Bluetooth issues with Hero ROM's are a known, but they are not fixable at the moment.
So either run a ROM where it works or live with bluetooth audio not working.

Yeah a MOD should post a big sticky at the top of this forum about it, gets asked way to often, must be a bigger deal in other countries. I can do without the slow transfer rate and battery sucking feature.

Bluetooth audio is tremendously important if you spend a lot of time on the phone with bluetooth headsets. For me multitouch is one step more important. Now if only 2.0 would come out I could switch back to a rom with bluetooth!

[Q] Bluetooth in Eclair/Froyo - Jetware??

Have a Citroen Bluetooth car radio (Blaupunkt) and was using that with a WM6 device. Lots of problems until I loaded Jetware which made it rock solid. Dumped the WM phone - now using a Android HTC (Desire).
Very unreliable bluetooth on Eclair - never solid and directory (phonebook) always an issue. Just switched to Froyo (Leedroid) hoping it would fix the issue. No such luck - most of time connects (pairing works fine) but as soon as I allow access from the car radio to the phone (to read phonebook) things go south.
Was wondering if I'm alone in this or if there is a fix for it. Ideal would be to have Jetware on Android - one great feature it has is that it can limit the phonebook transfer to a specific category - which is much more usefull then pushing the entire 500+ entries to the car.
Any help appriciated.
thnx
Exactly the same problems with wildfire/2.1. Was hoping 2.2 would fix it! SORRY TO HEAR otherwise.
No solution found yet. htc unable to help on the phone either.
(JVC 811 head unit)
Very disappointing after perfect WM integration.
Guy
Have a colleague that had the same issue on his Audi.
If you DENY access to the phone book - it works fine (although it takes a while to fully sync, and the number of entries is still an issue)
+1 for Jetware on Android - reeaaaaallly need it..
-Craig
+1 for Jetware for android.

[Q] Bluetooth gps working with gt540

Hi,
is there anybody who get the Optimus successful worked with a bluetooth gps mouse?
I tried it with an Holux M1000 and a Royaltek RBT-2001. In both cases the connection was done without a problem, but after a short time, mostly within one minute, the connection was broken. Then the only thing I could done was to restart the phone, because a reactivation of the bluetooth system was not possible. There are other people with a similar problem, I know, but nobody of them has our LG phone.
I've tested with the apps BluetoothGPSMouse, Bluetooth GPS Provider, Bluetooth GPS an BlueGPS. All with the same result. Also activating an disactivating the internal GPS or the wireless network before connecting with the mouse had no success. Changing the rom had also no effect. I've tested with the baltic 2.1 and the black 2.1.
Is there a chance to avoid the sale of my phone. This function is essential for me.
Thank you! I hope you understood my not-so-perfect english.
Steffen
