Nokia Car Mode on N8 - Bluetooth disconnects when ...

After recently upgrading to Belle, I installed Nokia Car Mode because it is what I had been looking forward to the most. However it simply disconnects the Bluetooth connection to my car's audio system a few seconds (maybe 5 seconds) after I enter the Music module.
Steps to recreate:
Start car (1999 BMW M3 running DICE Mediabridge 1500 connected to CD43 head-unit). Car's Bluetooth mode is on and car is discoverable.
Launch Nokia Car Mode on Nokia N8
Pair phone with car using the Bluetooth pairing button on the launch screen. Pairing is successful so continue by pressing the Start Car Mode button.
Press on the Music button to enter the Music module. Music attempts to start playing automatically. The display on the head-unit says "PLAYING", but no sound from the speakers and then the BT connection ends in about 5 seconds.
Thinking that perhaps my old BT pairing info might be saved/corrupted and not usable with the new Belle firmware, I performed a complete reset and re-installed Belle using a tool whose named I should not mention, but no luck even with a pristine build.
If I uninstall Car Mode from my phone, I can connect to my car and play music just fine. If you have navigation running simultaneously, the navigation prompts get routed through the car audio by virtue of the music player's streaming. However as soon as I re-install Car Mode, the same problem begins and remains until I uninstall it again. (If you don't uninstall Car Mode from your phone, it will launch itself automatically when it detects a BT connection with a car using the relevant BT profile.)
Here's another observation: During the 5 seconds that the phone has not yet disconnected, the Music Player's progress bar moves at a rate of about 1 second forward for every 5 seconds elapsed. So it is as if Car Mode introduces a performance issue to the playback.
So now I am living with the way things were in the Anna days: I can play music and navigation audio through my car just fine, but I really wish I had the extreme convenience that Nokia Car Mode provides (when it works as designed).
Solved!

I just installed Car Mode on my Belle-equipped N8. I have two serious complaints (not sure if this is the best place to post, but here goes
a) (Really inconvenient!) My speed dials DONT WORK! If I press and hold "2" in regular mode, I speed-dial home. In Car Mode, I just see the "2" appear, and it keeps beeping the longer I hold it! There does not appear to be a way to use speed-dial in Car Mode, which is a #FAIL (in my opinion.) You ought to be able to somehow configure this.
b) I love Internet Radio. When you select Music, you go right into the music player and can never select Internet Radio. You ought to be able to add other audio applications to the Music button.
Thanks for listening!

My car bluetooth disconnects when answering a call.

My car bluetooth disconnects when answering a call?

So does mine - but keeps the call going so then have to risk picking up the phone and putting it on speaker - although friends android phone works perfectly - i'm fed up - i have an iphone 5 and i would expect that with paying 600 for a phone and using it in a 40k car - there shouldn't be an issue, but no - my question is why weren't these things adressed before it was issued? - instead of being told ***** to be you but that's just the way it is. Is apple going to pay my fines $300 each for touching my phone while driving - aus law, and finally when i lose my licence because each fine is 3 points are they going to provide a chauffeur?. Apple need to remember before the iphone they were very small indeed, and only big in the graphic art industry. With Androids getting better and better there's now alternatives and the thing is i quit iphone, i quit the rest of the suite as well - ipads, itunes, apps, as well as mac books, and let's not forget ipods - which means i won't be updating any of those either. I'll rather buy Samsung tablet and an android phone and then i'll buy android apps, and update android. Apple need to remember customers vote with their feet, and IBM nearly went under because of it's own arrogance - could it be apple are going the same way?

Nokia Car Mode with mirrorlink - can't buy or inst...

Hi there.
I have a problem with Nokia Car Mode with mirrorlink app.
I can't buy it!
I'm using the Nokia 808 FP2 and the Car Mode comes preinstalled but every time I want to buy the mirrorlink app it just says that I can launch it, and when I click it it just opens the ordinary Car Mode app!
I've bough a Alpine ICS-X8 just so that I can use my phone with this radio, and now I can't even buy it! -.-
Please fiy that as soon as you can, couse I see that I'm not the only onw ith the problem...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi.
Here my solution.
At the end, the only way for me to install Mirrorlink in my Nokia 700 with FP2 as I don't have another phone with FP1 was to install a custom rom with car mode removed and then buy the Mirrorlink app in the Nokia store from the phone.
As the car mode is not installed there´s no problem in buying, downloading and installing the Mirrorlink app.
Then you install the official firmware back if you don´t like the custom, and go back to Nokia store and there's no problem now updating to Mirrorlink.
As I didn't find a custom rom without car mode I did one myself.
It's not too complicated to do one for yourself, in my case I took the Delight custom rom for the Nokia 700 (if you use it just donate to the author), then with Nokia Cooker program (if you use it just donate to the author) edit it looking in rofsx2, rofsx3 and core for any file with "carmode" and remove it.
Then you compile it, save the modified rom and flash it into your Nokia and thats all.
The first time you turn on your phone will appear an error but its because the system expects to find the carmode app and it's not installed (you need more knowledge of symbian programming to avoid that) but as soon as you install mirrorlink the error dissapear.
If you find this useful please le me know saying something in the forum.

Nokia Car Mode with Mirrorlink

According to several other discussion threads, download issues with Nokia Car Mode with Mirrorlink for Belle FP2 devices are still not solved.
At this time (tried on a Symbian Belle FP2 device) the Mirrorlink app in Nokia Store (http://store.ovi.com/content/268973) shows itself as "installed" and cannot be purchased and downloaded (because of the firmware integrated free Nokia Car Mode app in FP2).
Do you know any safe solution how to purchase / download this app?
(solutions mentioned in other threads: using an other Belle FP1 phone for purchasing and then transferring the downloaded install package, etc...)
Géza

well I didn't have any friends with nokia/symbian^3 devices so I had to try the delight cfw / nokia cooker method posted here somewhere (can't find the exact post again), anyway, i did that, i was able to buy the app from store, and then I switched back to oficial belle fp2 firmware and I was able to update the existing non MirrorLink app to the paid one.
And finally after a good week of forums and stuff I got to use my phone with my alpine headunit, was so happy and then disaster... the music player in belle fp2 has that album art view in landscape mode, and as far as the phone is connected to the head unit is always in landscape mode, I find it pretty hard to search music that way, especially with my music library which is... well bad organized, most songs are in unknown artist / album... do you guys know any music player for belle fp2 with a winamp like functionallity - to be able to sort playlist by path(folder name) and file name, and does not base on any id3 tag from songs?

Cannot Purchase Nokia Car Mode with MirrorLik

I purchased a SONY XAV-601BT audio system and I need the Nokia Car Mode with MirrorLik app to install on my C7-00 so I may connect the phone with the audio system. I've seen that the app is available at the Nokia Store but there is no way to purchase neither directly from the Nokia Store nor through the Nokia Suite. Could you please help?

Nokia Car Mode with MirrorLink v2.0.6503 - can't u...

So I've bought MirrorLink app for the Nokia 808 FP2 (it's been a pain to buy it) but I've got an update and I can't install it.
I download it just fine, it installes (takes a long time), restarts my phone. And then I open Car Mode and it's still the old version.
Then I go into the store and I get the update again!
Tried 3 time, and no luck.
Anyone got an idea?

Presumably you had to purchase this application by signing in with your Nokia account upon a different Symbian Belle device, as still says application "installed" upon 808 Belle FP2 as basic version pre-installed with device software? It makes no difference if you try to un-install this version first before trying to purchase either.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Bluetooth disconnects when using speed dial

When I make a call by dialing the number or taking it from my contacts, the bluetooth headset acts normally. When I dial a contact via speed dial, the bluetooth disconnects and I have to go into the menu and "activate headset" Any thoughts?? Thx

I have the exact same problem. I have had the Pearl since it came out and never had an issue. I just received the 8900 and I now have this issue which is more than annoying. Any help would be appreciated.

Bluetooth Disconnected when playback paused and never resume again

I am using Nokia BH-111 with my Dell Inspiron N4110. I am facing issues from last week that when I paused playback of audio/video, the Audio never resumes. I won't hear any voice at all. I need to turn off the Bluetooth adapter and have to restart it again.
But it was working fine before that and Nokia BH-111 is also working fine with my other devices. Could you provide some assistance.

Hi,
Did you do any changes for your computer? Since your had mentioned that it worked fine before. Please try system restore to roll back to a time when everything worked fine to see if the issue could be resolved.

Be Very Careful When Choosing to use Nokia Care sy...

Up until the weekend of November 23rd, I had nothing but praise for Nokia after choosing their Nokia Lumia 720 Windows 8 Phone. I was wary of going with WP8 as it was less supported by third party software for apps compared with iOS and Android, but its functionality impressed me for its entry range standing as a model.
That weekend, after a series of Application and a phone update, the screen started experiencing issues with random movements of the screen making it unusable. Both soft resetting and resetting to factory defaults failed to resolve the issue, so on Monday November 25th, I contacted Nokia Care LIVE Chat via the support website to see if there was anything they could suggest to resolve the problem.
They advised me to take it to my locla registered Nokia Care Point, which was right near the train station I use to go to and from work, which I did the next day. Left the phone with them and was told to come back in an hour. I returned and they had managed to fix that issue, they had reloaded the phone's firmware and software to an "in the box" level, and for good measure replaced the screen and the speaker inside. I could not have been more happy with the service, it was quick and more then I could have hoped for.
Then sadly, during setting up the phone to use as it had been wiped, I noticed that the command buttons at the bottom of the phone were no longer lighting up as they had done before. I then noticed that the camera was not working, front or back, it was not being recognised by the phone and all I had was a back screen. I called the Nokia Care point and told them, they said no problem just bring it back and they will sort it. I did the next day, same thing, left the phone with them for an hour but this time, returned to the shop to be told "there is lots wrong with the phone, we need to send it back to Nokia and it could take one to two weeks to come back.
So my phone went in with one issue, not fixed 100%, returned to me broken and told "its all good" then within 24 hours my phone is made even more broken, so broken the registered and certified Nokia Care Point are unabe to correct the faults they made, and need to send it off for a full repair or replacement under the warranty.
Sounds simple doesnt it? I took in a faulty phone, whcih was then made even more faulty by the Nokia Care Point, so when I contacted Nokia Care by LIVE Chat to say that I was unhappy with losing my phone, which was under warranty, for up to two weeks because of a botched repair attempt by their own certified Care Point and asked if I could have a replacement.
Then it got really messy. Was told that even though its under warranty, no replacement could be issued until the main repair centre had assessed the phone, check to see if they coud repair it, now for a 3rd time in seven days, before a decision would be made about if a replacement was justified. Even though it was their own Care Point which broke the phone requiring them to look at it in the first place. I was told to give it 48hrs for them to recieve the phone, which I did and contacted them on the Friday only to be told that my phone had not reached them yet.
Monday comes and I get a phone call from the Nokia Care Complaints team, which my case and complaint had been forwarded onto, telling me that my phone has yet to be assessed by the engineers. So no work had been done on the phone at all, so no decision could be made about a replacement. Tuesday ( today ) I get another call and this time the phone has been looked at but apparantly they are now waiting for a part for the phone, with no eta of delivery time, I repeat my request to have a replacement phone, saying that it should not be me as the customer that has to keep being patient for Nokia Care to rectify an issue with my phone that they created in the first place and that the very least they can do is offer me a replacement so I can carry on as normal whilst they sort out how the repair went so wrong in the first place, aso that the compensation offer of a £10 Nokia Music voucher for a service that is already free to Lumia users and then the offer of a bluetooth headset which the 720 doesnt have was equally pointless and that they should do better. Was told they would put the request in but again cant make a promise it will happen.
An hour a go I took a phonecall from the Nokia Complaints team asking me, which is redundant as I have no choice in the matter, to give them 24-48 hrs for them to complete they investigation or review of my case, so thar brings it to the end of this week meaning any replacement or return of a refitted repaired phone wont happen till at least next week, taking it to two weeks of not having a working phone since taking it to them on the 26th November.
So far, I have never been made to feel more worthless and valueless as a customer by any company whose products or services I have used. From the point at which my phone was made even worse by a failed repair by a certified and registered Nokia Care point to the utter nonsense of endless Nokia Care Customer service which hides behind policies designed to protect Nokia rather then the customer when it comes to repairs and faults.
I am left with no faith in any part of the Nokia Care system from the Care Points, to the service you receive via LIVE Chat on the Nokia Support site to using their Twitter support via @Nokiahelps to even speaking with their non UK Call centres. I have no faith that I will get a replacement phone even though the phone will have had so many new parts it might as well have just replaced instead of multiple repair and software reloads in the two weeks the phone will be out of my posession (factoring in the next week as I dont expect to see it returned or replaced)
I say to anyone looking to use Nokia Care, which your phone still in warranty, especially in the UK, is to go through the network provider your contract is with rather then direct with Nokia Care. I have encountered nothing but poor service and atrocious customer care in every regards for a problem that was originally a fault due to software updates but led to the Care Point taking the phone apart and creating new faults, something which Nokia Care still wont accept is a viable reason to replace the phone.
If you do have your phone repaired in a Nokia Care Point, make sure you test every aspect of the phone before you leave, but I suggest sending back via your contract provider. I hope what I have been through and continue to go through with this experience of Nokia's idea of Care, is enough warning to others and that no one else suffers similar issues.

Same here I have Lumia 920, 3 days after I bought it the device had an overheating problem and once the phone is off, I have to work hard to turn it on again, from soft resetting and hard resetting it After that I brought the phone to Nokia Care Center (I'm Indonesian by the way) in the NCC Branch in my province. 2 days after that, they told me that the problem was solved and asked me to take the phone. When I got there and the Costumer Service want to give me the phone, she try to turn on the phone, but she can't. She take the phone to a room (I don't know maybe it's the repairman room or whatever) and when she got out she told me that the problem is still exist and they will brought my phone to the NCC Center in other province. I have to wait for 2 weeks. Can you believe it? 2 weeks WITHOUT ANY PHONE? I have to buy another low-end phone that time.
After that the phone back to normal, But Then another problem come, after update my phone to Amber, my phone can't use Nokia Pro Cam (at that time, before Nokia Camera out), Bing Vision, Maps, Glance Screen, Auto Rotate, and GAMES. at first I just have to restart the phone to turn it back, but then the problem is not solved after I restart, even then, I did a hard reset but the problem is still there. Last friday, I brought my phone to the Nokia Care Center, they asked to take it the next day, but AGAIN! The problem is not solved, and they said I have to wait until the newest software update to come so the problem can be solved. Today, still no news or information from them, I don't know if I can trust Nokia Care Center again after this

My nokia PC suite is always disconnecting when I u...

Hi. My nokia PC suite is always disconnecting when I use Bluetooth.
I recently update the bluetooth software and mow it say's that there's is note a bluettoth software installed. but it is and is working with the phone that I want to use with nokia PC suite.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Regards,
Marco

Hi Marco,
Sorry for the late reply. Don't have access to Internet afterhours for a fortnight. Anyway, back to topic.
A couple of questions: I supposed that PC Suite can only detect your N70, the first time the connection was set up. (Or is it that only the first time after your laptop/PC reboots?)
Can you also try this? On the second attempt to connect:
1. Right click on PC Suite tray icon, select "Synchronise".
2. Click "Select Phone".
3. Click "Connection...". Ensure that bluetooth connection(s) is/are selected. (For my LifeBook, the "Bluetooth (Toshiba)" will go unchecked whenever I turned off the Wireless switch to off.) Click "Close".
4. Click "Refresh". This may take a while, typically under a minute and sometimes a couple of retries.
These are my ritual steps to get bluetooth connection to my N80. ^_^;
Let us know. Cheers.

Car Mode App on Nokia N8

Due to the sensitivity of the N8 sensor in landscape mode when driving the screen switches from portrait to landscape and is unuseable. I have to fix the screen in one landscape with a separate app before loading the Car Mode app and this is very annoying.
There needs to be an option to force the screen into auto/landscape/portrait in the app itself.
You can see how I'm using my Nokia N8 for all my video/image footage and for live recording on my around the world tour on a diesel motorcycle here:

You should have directly downloaded it to your mobile. Certain apps are restircted for mobile downloads only, as this one. Even if u managed to download it to your pc still u won't be able to install in yr mobile as .sis file is now converted to .dm. file format and your mobile will not recognise this file. To reconvert this file to sis format you need to modify the programming of this software. (Call it hacking or Unofficial/illegal way of modifyiing a software). So i am afraid its out of the bounds of this discussion forum and even if i tell u the procedure to hack it, the post will be edited by moderaters. So better luck googling.

Car Mode (carmode) shuffles music when it shouldn'...

Used Car Mode (or Carmode as it's know on Nokia Store) for the first time today.
Very good app and essential now that I've seen it. I do wish I had a car with bluetooth pairing though
Anyway, after I've selected an album the first track gets played but then the remaining album tracks get shuffled. Why is that?
I have not selected 'Shuffle All Songs' from the Car Mode menu and my standard Music Player is not set to shuffle anything either.

I do belive its set such way it shuffle music by default. I can't see myself driving car and searching for that one track i want to listen right now, it's a bit unsecure for other drivers.

I have a Droid Incredible 2 phone. I bought car charger and ever since I have used it, the phone thinks it is in "car mode" even when the phone is in my home, my purse,...I sets to speaker and I can not hear the phone ring. It freezes on "car mode". I heard that Droid is supposed to be fixing the problem, but nothing has happened yet. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone at Verizon know when/if this will be fixed. If not, I expect a new phone from Verizon.

there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...
