[Bug 1435040] Re: Ubuntu Phone does not connect to car-bluetooth

[Mons ter Wade]

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.
