Bluetooth problems with VZW HTC Thunderbolt
I'm having trouble with my HTC Thunderbolt keeping the bluetooth connected with my 2011 Camaro 2SS. It would connect for 30 secs then disconnect for 2 mins or so then reconnect and disconnect again after about 30 secs. Anybody know why this is happening? Thanks
Edit: So I have a partial fix for this issue. Here's how you keep the Bluetooth connected to GM cars: 1. Delete previous Thunderbolt pairs 2. Start a new pair 3. When the phone is paired with the car your Thunderbolt will ask If you want to connected the phone list (something like that forgot the exact wording) 4. Select "decline" and check the box that says "always" then click ok. This will keep your phone connected with your car. It will not connected and disconnected anymore. The phone book was the problem. Only problem with this fix is you won't have your phone list on your car. You would have to dial from the thunderbolt. Let me know if this works for you guys.

My buddy just got that phone and I guess he has problems with all sorts of basic items that are standard on phones these days like bluetooth. I guess HTC/VZW spent so much time on the "ultra fast" 4G that is barely available to anyone and skimped out on the other essentials...that's my guess as I've seen it on many newer HTC phones...
If anything wait for an update (might fix BT connections), tho with android you will be outdated soon enough since there OS is so fragmented because of the number of hardware developed associated with software versions. |

I am having the same issue. I have been reading online of bluetooth issues with other HTC phones, seems to revolve around the bluetooth stack used in the phone, standard bluetooth headset seems fine

i read on the forums that if you decline the phone book transfer or access then the bluetooth would stay connected. I'm going to try it when I get home.

Yes, that works, but the phone doesn't remember the 'always' of.denying phonebook request, asks every time it connects. I hardly used the phonebook, voice dialing works. "Bluetooth...Voice...Call name..."

I have a thunderbolt and it connected to BT first try. Never drops either. All I did is delete my old phone from the car, then re-connect the new phone from scratch. I always have BT set on on the phone, so it auto connect when i get in the car...

have you looked at the notifications on your phone after connecting? you likely have an incoming request to connect to the phonebook.

I have the same problem but after I connect it doesnt give me that message to connect to my phone list. It connects, but then it can never make the calls properly. I can connect to a call once, then it cuts off and then I'm shit outta luck. It just wont work.

I've tried, now every time I step into the car I have to go to config and select the phone at the device. And then it's a crapshoot if it will connect and stay connected during the call. |
