Hi Folks,
I recently invested in a pioneer deh-p55bt bluetooth car radio. The problems I've experienced have been in common with most peoples that I've read of on this forum. After hours, if not days, of reading the forum and testing with various roms I've noticed the following:
Regardless of using either the latest O2, Qtek, or Dopod ROM's (including radio 1.11) bluetooth on my xda exec always switches off at some point - regardless of trying all the known hacks for power/lock/etc. But...
Bluetooth only switches off when I have been using the exec with the car radio kit. If I use a BT ear piece rather than the car kit it never switches off.
When testing with the car kit what happens is I make a call via the dial pad. The call goes through ok, then after about a minute the dial pad shuts down (back to the today screen) and shortly afterwards bluetooth turns off. When I repeat the process with the earpiece instead this does not happen.
I've come to the conclusion the car kit is somehow sending a "phone shut down" command. is this possible?
The most reliable setup so far has been using the Qtek rom with the dopod radio v1.11 rom, though this is still far from satisfactory. The qtek radio 1.09 rom was worse in that the phone app would shut down consistently after a single phone call (incoming or outgoing) when used with the car kit.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else about their experiences - notably those with other BT car kits and whether or not the phone dial pad on the pda shuts down in conjunction with bluetooth turning itself off.
