Request for Chefs: Do NOT use Widcomm bluetooth stack from shipped ROMs

[tek818]

The bluetooth stack that came on my TP2 works much better with BMW Bluetooth/iDrive...

Vote me out too.


For the first time in 2 years, I have an HTC pda that works with my Nissan Altima 08 with Factory Nav / BT

This bluetooth stack kicks ***. sorry to hear that you don't like it.

I've never had any problems with the MS stack whatsoever on either the 6700, 6800, or TP1. I've had 2 devices with Widcomm stacks (XV6600 and TP2) and both have been subpar. The Widcomm stack lacks the PAN profile, has major issues with voice command, won't hang up, ignore, or redial when you hit the appropriate buttons on your headset, and does not work at all with visual voicemail. It will connect and function fine during calls, but that is about it. I know that these problems have been well documented in the main forum.

At least if the chefs don't want to replace it, perhaps they can give us the option to do so ourselves, like many have done with the sys files on the TP1 ROMs. I'd be willing to donate to have that ability. I'd make a ROM myself but I have neither the time to do it, the knowledge to do it, or the time to learn how.

Same issues here

FYI - Some of the new roms are using a new BT driver/stack that fixes most of these issues. I'm running MightyROM 11/25, and I can hang up the phone now. I'm sweeping through the list of BT Issue threads that I subscribed to and posting this for those that haven't heard about it.

I'll throw in my weight as well..

I've got an '07 Altima with the nav system, and my Raphel can connect, but the person on the other end can't hear me, and what I hear is extremely distorted. Sadly, the workaround of transferring to the phone then back to the car never worked for me.

I'm running the EnergyRom now, but seems like it doesn't solve the problem (probably not using updated drivers).

I've heard the TP2 works fine with this system. Before it came out, I had a thread going with HTC about the issue, and they assured me it couldn't be fixed. Tried to tell me I'd need to replace the nav system. When the TP2 came out, I tried contacting them a couple of times asking if they would backport that driver to the TP, and never once heard back from them again =/

Anyway, if anyone does come up with a solution, I'd love one....

Question for everyone:

How many of you can actually get your headset to end a call when you hit the end call button, and what type of headset are you using?

Nothing like driving in your car with your phone put away in your center console and leaving someone a voicemail only to realize your phone didn't hang up and having to fumble around while driving for your phone so you can end the call, all while trying not to swear up a storm due to your frustration into your buddy's voicemail.

Not I (U-Connect). I think the only time mine has hung up when pressing the button is when the other end hangs up and the call just ends. I don't believe I've ever successfully ended a call with the handsfree button.

I have since turned off bluetooth all together, because it's just too frustrating to use in its current state.

I've noticed this as well. I'll push the end button on my headset and 75% of the time it WON't end, but then out of nowhere it will? This is on a Motorola H700
