Instead of whining and crying post after post...Try whining and crying to HTC/Carrier about the problem, I'm sure if enough of you complain (Like you do on this site) they will address the problem and patch it.

Another option is try cooking your own roms with the MS stack.

But please stop making posts about the BT stack already!!!

The widcomm stack is better than the MS stack for you, but not for everyone. Others value certain features higher than you do. I place a very high value on being able to make and end a call with the headset. It's a feature that is absolutely fundamental to me and not having it makes the phone an extreme annoyance. I NEVER had problems with the MS stack, but have had nothing but BT problems with multiple headsets on both phones I have owned with Widcomm stacks.

We've already complained to HTC. They won't do anything about it. That is why we have chefs. Believe me, I do appreciate all they do for the community but at the same time all we want is a choice of which stack to use. I don't believe it would be terribly hard but I'm not familiar enough with the process to do it myself. I've offered compensation for anyone willing to do it, and I would welcome help from anyone who would be willing to help me cook a ROM with the MS stack. Fact is, though, I don't have a ton of time to sit around and learn how to cook a ROM and learn the ins and outs of bluetooth so by the time I got it done the TP3 would probably be out.

We aren't "whining," and if you're not having problems with bluetooth and aren't willing to contribute to solving them for us, then there is absolutely no reason for you to post in or even read threads about the problem. All we want is a choice, and I can't see how that would be a negative for anyone so I don't understand why you are getting riled up about posts and threads on legitimate problems with the TP2 bluetooth stack.

The guys here that say they have no problem and we need to stop whining are acting childishly. The simple fact is that this is a problem. I have talked with HTC. They know it is an issue and do not, apparently, plan to do anything about it.

I am amazed that they went this direction. They say that you need to use a compatible headset, but can't tell you what that is. I am amazed that the following headsets that I own are not compatible:

Jawbone - ALL # MODELS
Motorola Endeavor
Plantronics 975
BlueAnt Z9

I think I have relatively popular headset and none of them hang up. I would appreciate a solution, but don't expect one. It makes the phone much less functional when you don't have the ability to hang up. It is really fun when you need to soft reset to get it done. Not a problem though...lmao.

a friend of mine was looking to buy a new sprint phone, and it came down to a hero or tp2... i told him the hero is a nice phone, but tp2 is the cream of the crop right now... as he was about to pull the trigger on the tp2, i said "oh by the way, do you use bluetooth alot?" needless to say, he purchased the hero.

how could htc/sprint not do anything to fix this ?? bluetooth incompatibility has got to be a huge dealbreaker for lots of people, had i known about the issue beforehand there is a decent chance id be using a different phone. i realize in this situation, my friend still purchased htc, but how many others would look to a pre or blackberry or samsung instead?

I'm sure there are problems for many of you, but the simple fact is I haven't seen any of this issues. I just posted what I tested in hopes it might help us better understand the issue. Could the issue lie with the way some bluetooth devices connect to the TP2? Or could there be some small differences in our TP2 depended on their build date? In all my reading on this site it seems like some very smart guys are trying to figure this out.

I have a BlueAntZ9i and it hangs up without a problem. Everything works perfectly with it (answering, making calls with Voice Command, hanging up) EXCEPT no voice announcement of BT (which I really need).

just an observation..

seems that the sprint phones tend to work fine with bluetooth. verizon, not so much..

dont have the phone still lurking to buy.. but that is what i see as a common thread..
