SOLVED: Bluetooth not working on your ICS powered Desire HD.

SOLVED:
The new port Primo-S - 1.2 of ONE V rom solved the issue with Bluetooth on ICS, that no one of the "original" ICS devs would even recognize as a fault in their roms…
The original devs just answered in a cocky or arrogant way that BT did work, even thoug it didn´t for some of us...
So finally now it looks like we all can enjoy ICS... Thank you to proxuser for the HTC One V port




The old op said this:

This is really a strange problem, but really easy for you to help me, so pleace try this out for your self...
But first i would really like to say thank you to all who answers, and all who vote, thank you for trying to help me with this...


Just turn on Bluetooth if you have ICS, and tell me if it works or not...
The only thing you have to do is to see if the little Bluetooth icon appear in the statusbar.
If the icon appear in the statusbar, bluetooth works on your phone.
If not, then bluetooth don´t work on your device, and you proberbly have the same issue with BT as i have...
You don´t even need a bluetooth unit at all to test this... Just turn on Bluetooth and look at your phone...


The strange problem:
When i use any ICS based roms Bluetooth don´t work, it will not turn on.
But when i use any 2.3x based rom Bluetooth works fine.
I use 4 different BT devices on my phone daily, so i an 100% shure that it works.


I have tried to ask the devs about this in some of the ICS rom threads, but the question offcource drown among many other subjects.

So now i try to find out this way, how many people actually have this bluetooth issue.
(I allready know from one of the devs that i am not the only one, but not if it is a few % of us, or if it is a more common problem.)

My thought is that perhaps it is a kind of hardware revision related problem ?!?
- my own device is one of the verry first that was sold here in Denmark, and perhaps there is small hardware changes in later devices ??


Pleace help me figure this one out...


At last, as i know you will ask:
Yes i know how to wipe, and how to flash new roms...

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Now i will try to explain a little more about this issue...

When i turn BT on in any ICS based rom, the button at first looks like BT turn on, but after a little while the slider-button turn gray, and it is locked.
I can reboot the phone, i can pull the battery and nothing helps, the slider-button is locked and can´t be changed.

This is the case both when trying from the pull-down status bar, and when trying from within settings.


When you (when I) go into settings and touch bluetooth to open the BT status-screen, the status show "Turning Bluetooth on..." even thoug BT never turn on...
I have had this in the status screen for days, without any change...
There is NO way to eg. make the phone visible, or change anything in the BT settings...

When i search for my phone eg. with my PC, the phone is even not discovered (offcource)...


At last:
As i also said in the first post, i use BT on daily base, and i know that BT on my phone works 100%, when using any 2.3x based roms, just not when using any ICS based roms...
I have tried just about every ICS rom for the phone, and also a lot of 2.3x based rom... so this is not a issue with just one ICS based rom, the problem is on every ICS based rom pt.



Thank you very much for reading all this...
Have a nice day...

I found the following website had the same issue. They suggest moving the configuration file in /data/misc/bluetoothd/[bluetooth MAC address]/ elsewhere and seeing if that corrects the problem.

I can't post a link, but do a google search for "Bluetooth not working (Turning on... nothing happens) - Android Help" and it should be the first result.

I am running Ice Cold Sandwich on an HTC Inspire 4G and use bluetooth often. No problems and it turns on/off in only a few seconds time.

Thank you for your info, i had not seen that one before...
I tried to remove the config, but it didn´t help...
