Palm GPS Bluetooth Problem

Hello, I am trying to pair a Palm GPS unit with my mac. I go through all the steps using the Bluetooth Assistant ending with an apparently successful pairing. However, when i open bluetooth prefs the Palm GPS shows up as 'not connected'. Anyone know what's wrong?

Have you tried a Soft Reset? Thought about updating the OS on the device to 4.1? (There were a lot of improvements made with 4.0 vs. 4.1!) The update is available many places on the net, such as: http://downloads.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=425429
Any GPS I used to use with my m515 was hard-wired...

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).

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?

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.

Airport & Bluetooth problems after 10.4.7 update

(Note: I posted this in the Tiger forums and after no response, thought I'd try here.)
Greetings,
After updating to 10.4.7, my iMac G5 20" iSight exhibits occasional loss of signal strength in the Airport and poor or lost Bluetooth connections with the wireless keyboard and mouse.
The Airport and Bluetooth problems happen together at the same time. I can see the Airport signal strength drop and seconds later the mouse starts becoming slow and I usually lose connectivity with my keyboard. After about 10 minutes, signal strength returns on both.
The system is well isolated from interference, the cordless phone is a 5 ghz unit, and all cellphones have been removed from the room, but the symptoms continue. The wireless G router is only 3 meters away in the same room.
I reapplied the combo 10.4.7 updater, repaired permissions, cleaned caches using Applejack, zapped the PRAM and reset the SMU but the problem still happens.
Any suggestions? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'll add a "here, here". I have a 20" iMac G5 (1.8 GHZ). Since applying 10.4.7 I have had Bluetooth disappear twice. Disappear as in: keyboard and mouse no longer function and the bluetooth icon in the menu bar disappears. Power cycle works to recover the system. A far from elegant workaround.

Bluetooth problem in ideapad s210 touch windows 8.1 and audio problem

Hi .. i have lenovo s 210
i have a problem with audio output, the sound is muted and it said that my bluetooth audio device can not be started. i download realtek High definition from the support system and the audio system start working again. But when i check the device manager the bluetooth problem still not fixed. It said i had a code 10 problem. I just recently update my windows to 8.1, but before there is no problem with the audio... and recently i find out that i can not use my bluetooth too. and all the bluetooth system seems doesn't work out
what should i do??
thanks

Actually, I solved this issue myself after a while.
I induced a system restore prior to the date when I began to experience this error.
It then happened once more, so I went to the "PC Settings" menu and selected "Update and recovery".
There were apparently updates to be installed, so I clicked "More details/information", and found that there were 3 Intel-related drivers that were listed, but for some reason, Windows 8 didn't automatically install them, so I checked each one of them and proceeded to install them and it has been smooth sailing for me ever since that.
SO.
A piece of advice for all those who have experienced the issue I detailed in my former post:
Check what updates need to be installed on your computer in the "PC Settings" app thing, and see if there are any driver-realted updates (like for your graphics card, especially).

Bluetooth problem on iOS 6!

I have Beats Wireless, and since upgrading to iOS 6, has presented problems with the bluetooth connection. I was wondering if anyone has this problem and if Apple will make a new update to fix this problem.
Thank You.

I have bluetooth problem with Creative Sound Blasteraxx SBX 20 when I upgraded iphone4, ipad2 and ipad3 to ios 6.
There seemed the bluetooth session is prone to some interruptions. The music stopped playing but the bluetooth session is inact. The sound blaster has blue led and iphone4 show " connected". I will to reset by turning off the bluetooth and reconnect again. Then only will the music from iphone4 is played at sound blasteraxx SBX20. I have to kept doing this again and again when the music stopped. This does not happen before the upgrade. I used Creative BT-D5 a bluetooth socket connector to iphone4 and paired it with Sound Blasteraxx SBX20. I played for hours without any session being lost. I have seen iphone wifi suddenly went from "connected" to " not connected" in iphone4 setting. Before upgrade the disconnection would never appear on its own. I suspect the ios bluetooth and wifi are prone to interruption and they cannot prrform automatically recovery. It needs manual reset to get bluetooth and wifi working.

Issues between iPhone and external GPS bluetooth

I have paired my Garmin GPS bluetooth with my 3G iPhone. Seemed to work fine. I could call and talk through the GPS speaker-mic.
However, realized today that when receiving a call, 1) the GPS ring, and I answer by clicking the answer button on the GPS. However, I do not hear the caller. Only way was to press the speaker ON the iPhone and talk handsfree through the iPhone !!
Also realized I can use the car speakers when iPhone iis connected through car AUX, and simply use the iPhone mic.
Cool, BUT : we're talking about driving safe here... What am I missing so there could be a simple way to make or answer calls without having to play around with both iPhone or GPS or disconnecting the AUX cable, whenever a call is coming ??
Unless (and I hope) I am missing something, I am getting to conclude that iPhone was not designed with mobile-slash-driving security in mind.
Thanks,
Rob

Well, I use a bluetooth headset with my iPhone when I drive. I have familiar people set with different ringtones, so when the phone rings, I know without looking who it is. All I do then is press the button on my headset and talk. Press it again to hang up. If it is my default ringtone, then I just look down at the phone for a second to see who it is and decide whether or not to answer it.
As far as your other statement about having to perform checks everytime a call comes in, I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to, unless it is my statement about checking the phone. I would recommend that you test that while in the driveway of you home before venturing out on the road. It may be a limitation on that particular version of Garmin. I know not all of them work 100% with the iPhones.
I agree about searching for a song on the iPod as being dangerous. If you cannot find a handsfree solution, then I wouldn't use the phone except for when you are stopped. I agree it isn't worth a fine or worse!

Windows CP Bluetooth problem

I upgraded to Windows 8 CP from Windows 7 but bluetooth connection with my phone is not working after the upgrade.
Sending files from phone to PC is not possible with the error message "Unable to connect" though the PC 'sees' the presence of the phone. Any bluetooth driver available for Windows 8 yet?

Yeah, I am having bluetooth problems with an M5-481PT laptop. I can get it to work, but it's klugey. I also have Qualcomm Atheros (nearly 3 years old) and I suspect the Qualcomm Atheros since bluetooth speaker connection was always wonky in windows 8.1 as well. Acer promised to mkae the following link live on launch date. As of this posting, it's still not up. http://www.acer.com/windows10now.#_ga=1.45153831.286910687.1437418497

To Nokia - Bluetooth problems or 6300 and 3110

Dear Nokia,
Please, please you are killing everyone with your Nokia bluetooth phone incompatiblity.
What do you guys intend to do?
Do you acknowledge there is a problems.
I bought a 6300 when I lost the best Nokia ever phone 6230i.
The bluetooth connectivity is appalling.. Echoes and cut outs plague the receiver of your call.
So far bought BH200 useless, HS26W Jabras do not work, and BH100 does not work.
I then thought it was the phone, but so bought another 6300 it also has the same problems.
I then bought the 3110 classic which actually has a lovely keyboard layout. The phone is great, but the bluetooth problems are the same/ slightly better.
Nokia Uk are not helpful... They just say return the phone to o2. They live in denial...curse on their houses.
Nokia has beeen very sloppy on this bluetooth issue. They will kill their business. They have lost my loyalty...
I am now faced with buying a Samsung. Sonys are terrible and Blackberrys are too small to use in a moving car.
My hi-tech friend says it is incompatible bluetooth software on the phone. Nothing you can do till NOkia acknowledge the problem and send out a new patch..
Edit: removed e-mail addressMessage Edited by scousermodman on 25-Sep-2007 11:10 AM

I am also having the same problem.
I have a 6300 and a Samsung WEP150 headset.
The headset works fine with My SonyEricsson W810i and I can also transfer contacts between the W810i and the Nokia 6300 using bluetooth but for some reason the 6300 can't see the headset.
Seems like Nokia haven't got thier bluetooth implementation quite right (At this point it seems the most likely cause). If they can provide a solution I'll be very happy to be wrong.
I'll let you know if I find a solution.

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.
