Bluetooth keeps losing pairing since O2 ROM Upgrade

[BudgieUK]

Guys

Since the upgrade, everything has been working great, with the one exception that the bluetooth pairing with my BT car kit (Parrot CK3300) keeps dissapearing from the XDA.
It works for a few days (using TomTom 5) then it suddenly dissapears, and I have to set it all up again.

Any ideas?

Try to upgrade Radio to 1.11 , it's responsible for BT too.

Has anyone any experience of this while using Radio 1.11?
This all worked fine until after the ROM upgrade, so is it likely that the Parrot will need an upgrade?
It works ok for a few days then the XDA suddenly bleeps when it tries to connect with the car kit, then there is a dialog box on the XDA screen asking for the passcode to pair up..., I've put the password in (1234), but it always fails... then thats it ... pairing lost

Any clues anyone... this is really starting to frustrate me :x

When I upgraded from the stock O2 ROM to the T-Mobile one, I found that when ever I switched off my GPS unit, I needed to re-pair it for it to work again. Upgrading to the 1.11 Radio Rom did fix this. Never had a problem with headsets.

But I've also been having some weird power problems - battery going down by 10%+ an hour. Mostly it turned out to be on days when I used wifi in the morning - I'm pretty sure using the new radio dialogue didn't actually switch off the wifi radio when you disconnected. 1.11 does fix that. But also sometimes switching off the phone didn't actually switch off that radio, and power would dissipate way too fast with nothing supposedly on. Doing a soft reset always allowed me to leave it over night and only see 1-2% power gone.

So I've just backed down to the original radio ROM from the original O2 installer. I'm hoping this will solve all my problems, at the cost of the less resilient changeovers from UMTS to GSM.

i think i have it pegged have another look at the parrot forum


ok here is yet another update on things.... this is a very strange one. if you enable the device lock start\settings\personal\lock

Prompt if device is unused for 16.7 hours
set simple pin

the phone and the parrot device keep there pairing with no problem at all i have been testing it for the last 48 hours

if you disable the above it loses the paring straght the way.

strange is they anyone else who can try this

Thanks

I'm using a Parrot R N B, but I have experience the same problem. I have also upgrade to the new radio version, and again the same problem. In fact I can't reproduce the error in a controlled way. It happens from time to time. But more of the time, the Universal connect again to the parrot only assigning again the Parrot as the headset in the Bluetooth manager.

My try now was to install the buzznet.dev cab attached. I'm trying also what buzz said: Do not use the power button to put the Universal off, only close the lid.

I'have 2 days without problems with the parrot. I'll post an update if this also fail.

what parrot do you have? i have a ck3300 running version 1.14d if you can try the above trick and let me know... i could reproduce the error ever time, just connect up 3-4 times and then it would fail..... have not had to worry about the power button trick.

Mine is RHYTHM N'BLUE, and with this last trick I told you, I add a new day without problems. Today I have started and stopped the Parrot 6 times and always work perfectly.
