Bluetooth phone always works, but streaming does not (until I delete and repair). what was so magical about 4.2?
BTW: Still trying hard to cause a delay on my contacts, but this 4.4 is unbelievably fast!.

I just found that I can't pair my phone with my HandsFreeLink system in my car. This worked fine on 3.9 and 4.4, but my car can't find my phone running 4.4.1.
I have discover mode on and if I let the paring process run too long, my car says that I can't initiate the pairing from my phone, that it has to originate with the car (the is the standard message if I try to start the pairing from my phone, so I know that the phone is trying to talk to the car). Also, the HandsFreeLink shows up in "Devices" if I scan, so I'm thinking that discover mode may be broken.
Help?
Edit: My phone also cannot be found by my Bluetooth-enabled Vista PC. Hmmmm...something definitely amiss.
Update: I flashed back to 4.4 and my PC found the phone, flashed back to 4.4.1 and my PC found the phone, so it must be something I installed. I will continue this, one app at a time until it fails.
UpdateUpdate: OK, after flashing back and forth between 4.4 and 4.4.1 and installing and uninstalling a very basic set of cabs, I have concluded the following--Bluetooth sucks. It seems that if I just keep switchiong between the Communications page, the Bluetooth settings page and the Home page, eventually it will wake up and work. So for all you (and me) Bluetooth suckers...good luck and just keep after it.
