Trying to connect a Bell Blackberry 8830 to the F90BT. The search goes ok and it connects but then disconnects withing about 10secs and comes up connection terminated on the Blackberry.

 

If I try to reconnect, it will fail. I have to delete the pairing from the F90 and the Blackberry and start from scratch. A hard reset to both machines as no effect.

 

Any ideas?

I get the same damn problem now with my 8330. Not sure why - it did not do this pre update. And for a while post update it worked great! (except when you disconnected, or let the other person hang up - it would hang).

 

But now I get constant disconnects/reconnects.... gaaarrr

Getting the same thing with my 8830. Here's the weird thing...before I had put any of my contacts into a category, I had no connection problems (except for slow to connect on startup). Then I categorized some contacts and began getting the connection dropouts. I took out all categories, but now am still getting the problem. Ugh.

I found that your connection will be more stable if you let the phone to search and find the navigation. not the other way around.

 

remember enter 1111 when the phone ask you to put in a code, anything else will not work.

I had the same problems with my 8130 Blackberry.

 

For the first couple of days it would connect/terminate constantly which was annoying. I took my phone and did a complete back-up and applied the newest update on Blackberry's website. Well, turns out, that worked!

 

For one week.

 

Now its back to the same old crap. Not sure whether I should toss my phone out the window or take a hammer drill to my deck.

Hammer drill. It's not the phone's fault I'm sure of it.

I have an F900 and had trouble with a Blackberry Curve and a Blackberry 8830. In both cases it would sync and connect and then drop the connection. I tried a co-workers 8830 and had no problem, tried another 8830 and had no problem. So what was wrong with my 8830? I had a lot of duplicate profiles in my address book. I cleared my address book, because that was the only thing that was different between my Blackberry and the other users Blackberry, it worked! I cleaned up the duplicate entries in my address book and the BT works well now.

Interesting. I had one double entry, I'll try it. Do you think its just exact duplicate entries, was it ok if you had one entry "Mike" and another "Mike Cell"?

Well it does fix one major problem.... still.. was this a Pioneer defect or a Blackberry one. I think it was a Pioneer defect.

 

It should not have happened, but I am very glad someone found the fix.

Check your address book and make sure you don't have the same name in there twice.

i dont have any duplicate entries. 310 unique entries, most of which have two or more numbers per entry (work, cell, home, etc).

 

my address book syncs with my outlook contacts; i dont assume that to be an issue?

 

it started out for the first week working fine. but now, it does the connect/disconnect thing... help!

Well I had one entry for:

Stephanie

 

and another for

Stephanie

 

Both had different phone numbers. I removed the second one and it worked!

 

Since you sync it, empty out the whole thing and try again.

... but i didnt have any entries of the same name. all my entries have unique first+last name combinations. so, there's nothing for me to delete.

 

what do you mean by "empty out the whole thing"?

 

(btw, thanks in advance for your help and patience)

Well, so long as you have a back up of your address book, delete all the entries ont he phone and see if it helps.

Your challenge may be the amount of entries you have. Doesn't the F900 only support a maximum of 300 addresses?

My BB started to work tonight. I removed any duplicate entries and then it worked like magic. Connects without problems and everything works as planned. I did a 45 minute drive tonight and it did not disconnect at all.

 

I am finally happy.

is there a cap to the number of entries? i have an F90, not F900. i dont even really care about transferring my address book at this point. in fact, i set "address book transfer" under "options" for my avic device on my blackberry to "disabled".

 

i deleted all my address book entries on my phone, and turned off "wireless synchronization" under "address book options" on my blackberry and it was able to stay connected for 15 minutes or so.

 

i then turned "wireless synchronization" back on... my address book was repopulated with entries from my outlook and then the connect/disconnect started to happen again.

 

this is frustrating. any suggestions?

Posted Sep 03, 2008 · 22:48 UTC#22

I went and deleted any duplicate entries in my phone book and turned off encryption on my curve (8810) and it works like a champ now on my F90BT.

 

It was doing the whole connection failed BS until I did that. Finally I think I have everything fixed on the AVIC wanted to throw it out havoc that it was in the beginning!

Posted Sep 04, 2008 · 04:06 UTC#23

Thanks a bunch for the suggestion to remove the duplicate entries. I had a few maybe 5-6 of them. I just removed them and also set the Encryption to Disabled and wow it works!

 

I spent a fortune on this and when my wife found out that theBlackberry was not working with this, I was in trouble:)

Posted Sep 08, 2008 · 20:16 UTC#24

i did all of the above but still same BS, i do have more than 400 entries should that matter? any of guys that had success have more than 300 entries? pls advise...tks

Posted Sep 11, 2008 · 21:39 UTC#25

Went through everyone's responses and tried EVERY ONE of them. here's a list of what I did:

 

Deleted duplicate entries

deleted entries with any symbols or numbers

turned off encryption

address book transfer to: categories: personal/business

put all contacts in the personal category

only have 170 contacts

deleted BT profiles off the f90bt and bb8320. I even reset the unit

paired up and had phone search for f90bt, connect via phone

 

It paired up and transfered phone book fine a couple of times but when i disconnect, as in turn off f90bt and come back the next morning it will connect and disconnect after 10 sec.

 

Anyone have a diagnosis or resolution??? I would really hate to swap this out for something else.
