BB 8800 Version 4.2.1.73 bluetooth problem

I'm posting in behalf of my sister who onws the above-mentioned unit. She is trying to transfer her conatcts from her Sony Ericsson P990i to BB but after pairing, the transfer/connection cannot be established. I also tried other mobile phones to pair with BB, the pairing was successful but same thing happened.
Does transferring by bluetooth to BB this complicated? Transfer address book was enabled. I hope somebody can help.

Welcome to the club! EVERYONE is having bluetooth issues with this new "firmware" update. My solution was to NOT "upgrade"..i am still on 4.1 and it is running "decent". Seems like everytime Apple updates their firmware, they break something in the bluetooth protocols. Don't know why this is happening, but its getting freaking annoying. I would LOVE to have all my contacts downloaded into my stereo unit in my car, to see incoming calls, but at least it's working halfway decently. Thanks apple.

Hi there!
Please see this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
While it references tow BB's, the process is the same for any device from which you wish to receive files via BT on your BB...you must have the two devices paired (and trusted is a good idea as well), configure the receiving BB to receive the file, and only then initiate the send from the source device.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

How to Solve Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Problems on your iOS Device?

Do you have any problem with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your iOS Device? Please read these steps carefully and follow it!
These Steps that I am sharing are TESTED by 10 iOS users what had problems with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or both and was successful
- Please note that Resetting/Factory Resetting/Hard Resetting or Recovering or un-jailbreaking your device will not work at all -
To Solve Wi-Fi Problems Follow these steps (But before doing anything please restart your iOS Device and see if you still have network problems):
Step 1 Go to Settings > General > Reset > Rest Network Settings and Reset your Network Settings and wait until your device re-boots
Step 2 Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if you can connect to your Wi-Fi If you can't then go to next step
Step 3 Go to Settings > Airplane Mode and turn on Airplane Mode and shut down your device. Go to your network provider and ask to restart the Modem or do it your self (Just unplug power cord and plug it back in) You have to wait 30 seconds.
Step 4 Boot your device and go to Settings > Airplane Mode and this time turn if off and go to Wi-Fi and see if you can connect it again. If you can't then go to next step - Note: If you are going on to Step 5 it means that your device is experiencing Critical System Error that cannot be fixed easily -
Step 5 Go your laptop/desktop and open your browser then type this on the webpage search bar 192.168.0.1 and click enter. If it doesn't work then go and ask your network provider for an address for your modem/internet settings.
Step 6 Change your modem/internet settings to no password and make it "available/visible for everyone" and go to your iOS device and got to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if it works this time. If it still doesn't work go to next step - Note: If you are going on to the next step it means you are experiencing Critical System Error that had been cause by glitch/bug -
Step 7 Connect your iOS Device to iTunes on your laptop/desktop and update your iOS version -Note: this process if basically re-installing your operating system- If you can't update if because the new update if not available you have to wait for next update unfortunately
Step 8 After updating your iOS Device Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if it connects to your Wi-Fi. It normally fixes the problem but if it still doesn't, it means your device is experiencing hardware problem. Visit your local Apple Retail Store or reseller and ask them for complimentary/device-exchange/warranty help or go to Apple website for online support: www.apple.com/support/ for better support.
To Solve Bluetooth Problem all you need to do is resetting (not factory resetting) your device and see if it works, if it doesn't you will need to update your iOS or Google for more technical troubleshooting because it could be your pairing device's problem. Visit www.apple.com/support/ for better support.
If anyone of you had these experiences and was successful troubleshooting please do share your experience. I will also be avaliable to answer your questions if you have one! Please do share your openions about my post if you have one

If you don't mind, would you do that for me please?

TWIST: Strange Bluetooth Problem

This doesn't make sense to me. When the system is started from a completely powered off state, the bluetooth radio doesn't turn on and no devices will pair. The bluetooth icon in the taskbar is missing. I tried to manually turn it on but Windows won't let me (in the Wireless section of "Change PC Settings", the Bluetooth option is grayed out).
If I restart the system (from the powered on state), the radio turns on and everything works fine.The bluetooth icon in the task bar is visible and my devices will pair.
My wireless radio always works regardless of how I start the system. It has never failed through all of this wierdness.
I have the Intel Centrino version of the twist (i5, 128GB SSD) with the latest driver and the latest bios version. I tried re-installing the bluetooth drivers but I get the same results.
HISTORY: From day one, I never had any bluetooth or wireless problems. Last week the system was crashing with the error DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE. After a few of those I checked for updates and installed everything available to me (a bios update and a few other things but no actual drivers). After the updates, the bluetooth problem occurred. However, it's been a few days and I haven't had the Power State Failure crash.
I ran Lenovo's hardware scan and there are no problems with any devices.
Anyone have ideas what could be wrong?

I have been on the phone to Lenovo support. They say it has to do with power management, not all services restoring when PC is turned on. They asked me to,click the start button, run, enter compmgmt.msc, This opens a window to Computer Management. Now open device manager, expand Bluetooth, right click Broardcom Bluetooth 4.0, properties, power management tab, uncheck 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". I did all this and it made no difference on my PC. He then went on to say there is another way but it will add 10 seconds to the startup time of my PC which I am not willing to do. So things remain the same until I find a better solution. Has any one else had any luck with this annoying problem? Now I never shutdown my laptop, I just close the lid. Bluetooth starts again when the lid is opened.

Bluetooth problem after update to lollipop

Hi,I've recently updated my 6503 to Lollipop.Everything went smoothly and is working fine, except 2 issues - one solved, second NOT. FIRST (solved) - phone after update waked up and logged to 2G network, with no data transmission (despite it was turned ON). What was strange - my operator's network appeared in 'available network list' as separate 3 NETWORKS ( 2g, 3g and LTE) Switching manually to LTE solved it - now phone is switching between technologies automatically, data transmission is working fine. SECOND AND NOT SOLVED: I'm using the hands-free system built in my car ( mitsubishi lancer, 2008 ) . After update, phone failed to establish connection with it, even hands-free system remained as 'associated device'. OK ... I erased hands-free system from phone, as well as phone from car's memory. Paired devices again - starting procedure from car's side. Nothing better. Erased and paired starting from phone side. Nothing better.What I've observed more: phone after try to establish connection , phone in eye blink looses it. On list of available services of hands-free system (in phone menu ofc) , only 'phone sound' appears, while -as I remember but i'm not sure- before update more (2 or 3) services were detected . PLEASE HEEELP !

Re: Bluetooth problem after update to lollipop As above post, I am also experiencing problems with bluetooth on my Z2:- Phone connection is OK if Bluetooth is turned on the phone for " car is ready". Then I can make and receive calls.
- Playing music on bluetooth does not work after Lollipop 5.0.2 update on my car head unit. Previously connected and able to stream music on 4.4.4 Kit Kat with no issues, looking on web this is not a new issue with Bluetooth connection issues to devices since Lollipop came out so what the **bleep** is going on? I purposely bought a Sony TV, Car Head Unit and Soundbar to ensure everything worked together now the head unit that I only had fiitted in February does not connect which cost me £249!!! No issues connecting to TV or Soundbar but on HU it tries to connect then disconnects and BT Audio Icon on HU display greys out although phone is connected and icon highlighted as connected. I have cleared cache, unpaired and paired again, reinstalled 5.0.2 again through wifi instead of OTA but still the same. Car device: Sony XAV-602BTAndroid version 5.0.2Version: 23.1.A.0.726

Bluetooth problems help

I have paired my iphone to the computer but for whatever reason it will not let me connect to use it. I don't know if there is something else I am not doing. It says that it paired correctly...please help.

Yes I know it well. I flashed the -400 version (E71-2) with still no success. I have a 2007 Acura TL. Your HFL system is identical to mine (BT s/w version and HFP version). The nice people at www.handsfreelink.com can do nothing until Nokia and JCI agree to test the phones and post the results.
What I am about to share with you is a very lame work-around, but it has worked for me for a year consistently.
1. Pair the phone.
2. Incoming calls should work fine once paired (you should see BATT and Signal LVL)
3. I was unable to load the contacts into the NAVI with that phone so I can not help you there.
4. Turn-on the "Show Call Duration" on your phone. Menu>Settings>Calling
5. Place all calls FROM THE HANDSET (Voice activate if that works for you which is safer)
6. Look for Connection. When the call connects you will see a timer beginning to increment 00:00.
7. When you see the timer display, select the right shortcut key that says Bluetooth. There will be a 2-3 second delay but you will be handed off to your car kit speakers with full volume control from the stereo system.
8. You can hang up with the steering wheel control or using the phone.
The E72 is marginally better. The T-mobile based Nokia 7510 works very well and the Nokia N900 also works (both use BT v2.1) although both phones are aligned with T-Mobile UMTS frequencies. Nokia's implementation of BT version 2.1 may solve the problem but only time will tell.

T61 Bluetooth problem

Hi! I have a problem with my bluetooth device. whenever i try to connect it i can´t. I have it on but it says "device do not found" Please! i have this problem and i can´t get a solution. sorry for my english
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I suggest you offer a better description then "doesn't work", that could mean anything, such as when you press fn+f5 nothing happens (no on screen display), or you do get the OSD, but no bluetooth listed, or it is listed but you cannot turn it on, or it's listed, turned on but your devices don't show up...
You'll find the degree of help you receive greatly improve when you provide accurate and complete informaiton and never use descriptions like "nothing happened" or "it didn't work", otherwise you will only get wild guessing, nothing specific that will be of real help.
I'd also caution you to check the version of bios you have installed before you update. If your current version is compatible with the bluetooth software, then I wouldn't update your bios, if the update fails your computer will never work again without a costly system board replacement, so I'd make sure it's required before proceeding. You can also check if your bluetooth is disabled in your bios under security>I/O ports>bluetooth.

E71 Bluetooth Problem

Got a Jawbone Prime last week.
Tried to pair it with my E71 and succeed. After a while, it was disconnected. Then re-connect again... disconnected... connected and so forth.
However, it works fine with my 6500c though.
Please kindly help on this.

I have the same problem where my Nokia E71 disconnects from my BMW carkit (E61) in the middle of phonecalls.
This is very annoying, and introduced after I've installed firmware 300.21.012. My BMW dealer advises to install firmware 200.21.118.
I've contacted Nokia support and they point to BMW. Mr. Mustafa of the Advanced Technical Care Team (Nokia Netherlands), doesn't understand that 2 parties are necessary to corporate to solve problems which are reported by multiple customers. besides of that, I think Nokia can't ignore the fact that more and more cars do have factory installed bluetooth carkits. There is no real conversation possible with Nokia. Since they think problems are always concerns to others. Nokia doesn't know the words problem and customer. So customer satisfaction is not a goal for Nokia.
I've seen a couple of initiatives* around the web to catch this bluetooth problem. What I've done so far is
- Deleted SMS inbox messages*
- Unpair the E71 and the BMW carkit
- Pair the E71 with a 16-digit pass code*
- Configure the server version as 1.2 (in stead of 1.1) in the PC suite synchronisation profile (for phonebook synchronisation)
- Configure the bluetooth connection with my PC to Manual.
- Reboot my E71 after it has been synchronised with my PC (PC Suite)
For a premium brand, which Nokia say they are, customers shouldn't be bothered searching for problems which are caused by a firmware update. I will post all conversation and response of Nokia in this thread, so you all can see that Nokia support staff is very well trained to waive all responsibility.

Nokia E71 fw: 500.21.009 hopefully has the solution for the Bluetooth disconnection problem with (non) nokia bluetooth carkits

Walk problem - Bluetooth problem

I'm using Maps 3.09 on Nokia N8 Belle, equally for Drive and Walk.
It's very annoying that Walk doesn't have it's own button like Drive, and that Walk isn't build the same way as Drive (i.e. the same menu-buttons. As an example, I can't find a way to just "Walk home". I really don't understand why those two (Walk and Drive) aren't designed the same way, just differing in those specific things when used in walk or drive mode.
Further there is a huge Bluetooth-problem. When Bluetooth is configured on the device, Maps asks which Paired Device to use, with the possibililty to cancel. But as a result, independent of the choice, Bluetooth is always (automatically turned) on, unneeded battery drain as a result, and it's impossible to use Maps without having Bluetooth on.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Unfortunatly the news is bad, very bad !
It would mean I could no longer be able to use my N8 in my car in combination with my Nokia Bluetooth GPS receiver.
It's not because Symbian OS is EOL for Nokia (despite they recently releases the pureview), that features should be removed. IMHO Symbian OS should never been abandoned, and many with me will NEVER go for a Windows-based smartphone. I hope Nokia is aware of that and take it into consideration.
Back to Maps, I understand the Bluetooth-problem I mentionned will never been solved, and that I should be very carefull when new versions (of Maps or Belle) are announced, as Bluetooth might no longer be useable at all in Maps.
To be honest .... all this is beyond my intellectual capacity to follow the reasoning behind the decisions. But yeah, we know there is a M$-guy responsible now at Nokia, that explains everything. When Symbian will de totally death, he'll get a big promotion at M$

How to fix the Bluetooth problems with the Treo

It’s pretty obvious by now that Palm had not intentions of addressing the Bluetooth problems with the Treo smart phones. As for me, I need to reset my Treo 700wx several times a day to keep the bluetooth connection working. At my house it simply does not work because I live in a rural area where my cell signal drops out continuously, only for a moment but that’s all it takes for the Treo loose the Bluetooth connection.
I’ve searched here on this board for a solution only to find out that I’m not the only one with this problem. I’ve searched the Internet and could not believe the endless complaints about this problem, not a single fix was to be found. I will be going to every single site I can find on the Internet where I can leave a review of this product and I would encourage others with the same problem to do the same.

The "Mobile Device" you see only shows what is on your Treo when ActiveSync is running and connected. When it's not connected, there is "nothing". This is good when you want to copy a file you have saved in RAM (main memory). Connect your Treo and have Activesync run (successfully, of course). Then, you will see all the accessible files on your Treo.
Please read the previous reply (I have added and edited it to respond to some of your questions). Also, since I have the Card Export 3.14 for the WM5 and 6 running and it works on my Treo 750, I believe it should also work for you. I have WM 6. Earlier versions of Card Export actually "broke" Activesync for me. It wasn't until very recently that I wanted to try it again, in hopes that they have fixed the bugs. Apparently they have and I now use it to "fix" Activesync when it doesn't want to connect.
So, the latest version is 3.14 and it supports WM 5 and 6 (although they incorrectly named it Windows Mobile 2005/2006).

Bluetooth problems all around - Modem in the first row.

Hi there,
I've got a really annoying problem with the Bluetooth Setup of my Mac. Like you can see in my system description, I use Mac OS X 10.5.6. For a long time I used my old mobile via Bluetooth and GPRS as a Modem. Now it was time for a change. I bought a new mobile which supports 3G (Nokia 5800 Xpress Music).
I used the Bluetooth Wizard and told him to use all possible bluetooth functions of my device. I looked in the internet for the right configuration (APN, CID,...) and choosed to use the Nokia GPRS/3G Modem script which is preinstalled in Mac OS X (I also tried another one from www.taniwha.org.uk, it didn't work either).
The very strange thing is, the first connection worked without any problem, but after disconnecting and reconnecting it didn't work anymore. Instead I've got a message that the RFCOMM-Channel can't be opened.
I tried to fix the problem myself by searching wrong settings in some plists, but although I restored the original settings after recognizing that my changes didn't work, I've got a new problem.
Now the status symbol of the bluetooth modem always shows up that no modem configuration could be found, although I can still try to connect via Network -> Bluetooth. Of course it doesn't work this way too.
Sometimes the bluetooth modem works once after a reboot ( not after every reboot ). But only once!
File Transfer always works! The Nokia Multimedia Transfer also always works.
I definitely need advice of some of you, experts.
I'd love to hear from you!

Hi,
sorry, but the problem isn't solved yet. I tried different things but nothing helped:
I backuped and deleted the following Files:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/Preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
/Users/benutzername/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.BluetoothHASH.plist
But it didn't help. In fact it made things worse. Therefore I restored the backuped files.
I deleted all bluetooth devices and installed just my new phone a bunch of times. - No change at all.
I used FSEventer to control the Filesystem Access. That leaded me only to the files mentioned above.
In the log-file:
/private/var/log/ppp.log
is the following error message logged:
Failed to open /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem: Resource busy
Up until now, I don't understand why this resource is busy.
I figured out, that the modem works using a USB-connection. That isn't a satisfying solution but it works for now.
Nevertheless I am still really interested in resolving the Bluetooth problem.

Bluetooth problem Yosemite

I bought a new iMac 21,5 with wireless keyboard and the Magic Mouse.
I've been using it for about two weeks now and everything was working fine, until i installed the new OSX Yosemite when it released.
Now, about 10x an hour the computer loses the bluetooth connection with the keyboard.
This is very annoying, since i use it for 3D drawing, and everytime it loses connection, i have to fill in the numbers again.
I've read on the internet that a lot of people share these problems.
Is Apple coming with a solution or update? Or can i fix this myself?
Read something about resetting RAM etc as well. But since my computer is new, I dont think that'll do it.
Thank you very much.

I had the bluetooth problem where my MacBook Pro wouldn't reconnect to my external bluetooth keyboard after the initial connect when I upgraded to Yosemite. I found the solution in another thread from nashntk: "everything were solved by resetting SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)."
So far, the SMC reset fixed all of my bluetooth issues after the Yosemite upgrade. And it seems to be an ongoing solution as one reset has allowed me to disconnect and reconnect again multiple times.
