Sorry in advance for a long/detailed post....
Love my Droid X, but bluetooth doesn't seem to work well.
The phone pairs with my car (2010 VW Jetta, built in 9W3 BT module), and works fine 85% of the time.. However, sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, the car and phone disconnect from each other. Sometimes this happens when the phone is idle, sometimes in the middle of a call.. (If in the middle of a call, the call reverts to the phone earpiece+mic.)
And when BT is working, the car pulls up the "recent calls" list and displays something like the very first calls I made from the phone, months ago.. Always thought this was a quirkly, minor annoyance, now wondering if it is related somehow..
Lastly, when I exit the car, sometimes the phone reports that it is still connected to the car - even 10 minutes later, when I am waaay out of bluetooth range... The icon is still dark blue, the phone's "Wireless and network settings" report "connected" to my car...
I have unpaired/re-paired the units, the problem came back. There doesn't seem to be any trigger for it - sometimes I go several days and several calls with no issues, other times it happens twice within a 30 minute drive.
If the phone and car disconnect and I disable BT on the phone, then re-enable it, the phone and car re-synch as if nothing happened in the first place...
Anyone else having troubles like this? Should I suspect my car? What else should I try?
