First off, I apologize to the group if this is in the wrong place. I've been searching all over the posts and can't really find an exact place to post this issue.

It would be interesting to see what type of setup everyone is using and the success rate or if there are more users experiencing problems.

I, for one, can't get the HTC (both Diamond and Touch Pro) to even sync with my stereo. I have an Alpine IVA-W205 deck, which has attached to it, a separate Bluetooth unit, KCE-300BT and also have the Blackbird GPS which also has bluetooth. For those not familiar, the blackbird fits into the head unit of the stereo.

Anyway, the HTC does not sync properly with either one. The units recognize the phone as a headset. I can make phone calls from the either of the two bluetooth connections but the phonebook does not transfer, which means that I have to dial a number on the head unit's (not the phone's) keypad, and if there is a phone call coming in, unless you know the phone number of the person calling, (which is VERY rare with today's technology), the person calling would not be known, whereas if the phonebook transferred as it should, the calling party would show up when the phone rings. It seems to be an issue with the HTC phone as I have successfully connected other phones to the unit while trying to fix and deal with this problem.

I personally feel that this may be a software issue on the phone for the following reasons. With one phone that properly connected, the phone had the following bluetooth profiles, HSP: (Headset Profile), HFP: (Handsfree Profile) and PBAB: Phonebook Accress Profile. The other phone had A2DP: (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), HSP: (Headset Profile), HFP: (Handsfree Profile), OPP: (Object Push Profile) and FTP: (File Transfer Profile).

I have tried and I am not able to eliminate some of the profiles to force the known ones to connect and I feel that there is a possibility it is connecting using the wrong bluetooth profile. I have read and searching everything I can think of to try and resolve this problem to make this work. If anyone has an ideas, or has the knowledge to make a small cab file I can add to the phone that would control the bluetooth profiles from the dozen that this phone will connect with, I would GREATLY appreciate the assistance.

I am very new to this so I may not know what I'm talking about. I am asking so that everyone can benefit...if my theory works. It would be nice to go to the bluetooth mode page and have a checkbox for the ones the user would want to connect with (like with the device page), when it connects, there are checkboxes next to the hands free, headphones, and music streaming selections available.

Lastly, I apologize for the length of this message but I hope that one of the techy types, who I will guarantee has way more knowledge than I do, will understand what I'm trying to do and can help me make this happen. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
