[Bug 1435040] Re: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth
BQ Aquaris E5 Volkswagen Golf 2016 (w/o Navigation System) OTA14 I had the opportunity to test with a brand new Golf today. Pairing worked on the second try. After initial pairing automatically reconnecting worked like a charm. I made one 15 min. phone call and could not detect any problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435040 Title: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1435040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1435040] Re: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth
Update/Correction #171 & #172 In the meantime I drove 1300 km. I think I now fully understand what is and was going on. After connecting like in #171 & 172 described, I had 4 phone calls on a 600 km trip. 2 times bluez crashed (had to reboot phone) and I wasn't able to update the phonebook in the car system. So I enabled ‘autoconnect’ in the bluetooth settings on the phone and tried to connect again from the car system. Tatataaa ... on my way back no crashes during phone calls and updating the phonebook now always worked. What happened? It turned out that I myself messed up the bluetooth connecting process with my impatience. As soon as the car system showed the bluetooth sign and my mobile service provider, I started playing around on both ends (car system & phone). But at this point the connecting process was not completely finished and I fooling around at the same time finally caused crashes on both systems. I just have to wait like another 10-20 s and everything works perfectly. In my case the connection process is finished when the media player sign shows up in the cars display. Everything works now as intended, if ‘autoconnect’ is enabled and the car starts the connecting process. Turn on phones bluetooth, get in the car, wait until the car establishes the connection COMPLETELY and enjoy! Nothing else has to be done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435040 Title: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1435040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1435040] Re: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth
Update point 2: It seems to be necessary not only to unlock the screen but also to go to the phones bluetooth settings. But then don't do anything on the phone, just initiate the connection from the car system and watch the magic. Sometimes I need 2 or 3 tries to establish a connection, but once the connection is successfully established everything works and is stable. The above posted method should work for most VAG systems e. g. VW, Audi, Skoda and maybe even Porsche. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435040 Title: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1435040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

BQ Aquaris E5 Volkswagen Phaeton 2011 (VW Navigation System RNS810) OTA14 Finally IT WORKS! But from the beginning: After the OTA 14 Update I tried again to connect to my in car bluetooth system and make calls. Connecting (still) worked. Next I tried to make a call and again no sound from the speakers. After random changes on both ends (phone and in car system, of course with no systematic tracking), I tried again to call somebody and now speakers/mic worked perfectly. I left my car, entered again, phone reconnected and now again no sound!?! Wtf? But I was hooked, if it worked one time, it has to be possible to make it work again ... It took me some time to track down the necessary conditions for a stable and working bluetooth connection: 1. In the phones bluetooth settings the auto connect button for the connection to the in car bluetooth system has to be disabled. If this is not disabled, the car and the phone try to establish the connection at the same time and things get messed up, up to the point where both systems eventually freeze. 2. The car system can only establish the bluetooth connection, if the screen of the phone is unlocked. That's all. If you pay attention to these 2 points, really everything works perfectly (for Volkswagen systems)! Even streaming media via bluetooth works! I'm really excited, thank you very much for your work! I use my phone for business and desperately needed a working hands free system in my car. Unlocking my screen after entering the car is no big deal to me. Switching back to android is now definitely off the table. Thank you again and keep up the great work! I really love the usability and GUI of my ubuntu phone! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435040 Title: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1435040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1435040] Re: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth
BQ Aquaris E5 Volkswagen Phaeton 2011 (VW Navigation System RNS810) OTA13 After the OTA13 stable update I'm now able to pair my phone with the in car bluetooth system for the first time. However the pairing process was a bit of a hassle until it worked. I was not able to detect why pairing suddenly worked after 5 unsuccessful tries. Maybe a timing issue, because I have to enter a 16 digit code and not a 4 digit code. After pairing I can access contacts, start calls etc. The phone also reconnects perfectly after entering the car again. Everything seems to work... BUT the bluetooth audio is not routed to my car speakers/microphone. I can browse my contacts, start a call and answer calls, but I can't hear anyting and my opposite can't hear me. For me OTA13 was an improvement (pairing now works), but I still can't make phone calls in the car. My Ubuntu Phone would be perfect, if hands-free speaking would work. Please keep up the good work and release a fix as soon as possible! If I can help, let me know ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435040 Title: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1435040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
