First off, I got the G2 in a replacement swap/upgrade from VZW because I had gone through 3 HTC DNAs...loving life right now because the G2 is faster, looks better, doesn't have all the issues I was having with the DNA, and actually can effectively make a call......
However, I'm having Bluetooth issues.
I have the Pioneer FH-P8000BT head unit in my car, and I've never had any problem pairing BOTH the Phone Audio and Media Audio to the HU. My DNA was fine, and my Droid X before that was fine as well. This phone, not so much.
I'm VERY tech savvy, so when I ask for help, it means I've tried everything I can possibly think of, and done tons of research too.
First, I reset the whole HU, to clear out any and all traces of the old phone BT settings. When trying to pair this phone to the HU, I noticed some issues. Usually, I "Pair from Phone". This connected the phone audio, but when the HU tried to initiate downloading the contacts, the phone never received the message. So, I erased the settings and tried putting the phone in Discovery Mode and then successfully paired the phone audio. When the HU requested the contacts, the notification came up on my G2 to allow access. Done.
Then, on to the Media Audio. When the HU tries to connect to the Media Audio, it goes through! I have great audio, I can play Pandora through the car...great!
Get to my destination, car off, get back in, and upon reconnect, only the phone audio connects, but no media. I try to force the connection, and it looks like it connects for half a second, then it gets rejected and says "no connection".
I've gone through this a dozen times. Upon the initial (fresh HU settings) pairing, it will connect. But any subsequent connections fail. I've gone through every setting in the HU and the phone. In the BT settings on the G2, the phone audio says "connected" and the media audio says "connecting" and is grayed out. I have turned BT on and off, I've tried just connecting the Phone audio and not the media - nothing seems to work.
I need to be able to get the GPS and Pandora, etc through this car system. Any ideas? Are the BT versions on the G2 and HU just too far apart?
Thanks!
