I had the same disconnecting problem before I upgraded it, and had to switch back to my samsung i900 due to keep disconnect from car while driving, had to turn off the phone and restart, or the car.
For me it's the exact opposite. After the Firmware update, I can't get my car handfree to work properly. Before the firmware, it worked perfectly. Sigh

i have a nokia ck-300 bluetooth car kit and my n900 works well with it while its connected but as soon as I get out of the car my phone does all sorts of crazy things including-
* freezing (sometimes to the point that battery needs to be removed),
*when i call people they cant hear me and I cant hear them (phone needs to be turned off and on to fix)
*in coming phone calls in general mode are silent without vibration (phone needs to also be turned off and back on to fix)

I took the phone back to vodafone a week after buying it and they gave me a brand new n900 in the box and the new phone does exactly the same. With bluetooth off the phone is problem free.

I also have a N900 and the Ck300 car kit, and am experiancing the SAME problems as above.

my ck 300 worked fine for months with my n95 8gb using the car menu application, but the nokia web site states the ck300 doesnt surport the N900, so i guessing we are up the creek without nokia surport.

im hoping some programing wizz will find a solution unless there already is one ???? ANY HELP

I have the same problem with my N900 and Nokia Ck-300 car kit. I had this problem before and after PR1.2. Has anyone found a solution please?

The phone freezes for anything up to a minute when selecting any applications. Then, usually the application will start.
When I make calls I can not hear the person on the other end (and they cant hear me).
I get "Unable to play media. Audio in use by another application." when trying to play music.

Restarting solves the problem.

I spoke to Nokia support and after I told them that I did a fresh install of PR1.2 (rather than an upgrade) using Flasher they would not give any further help until I used Nokia PC Suite to reinstall PR1.2. After doing just that Nokia suggested returning the N900 under warranty.

I dont really want to do this because its a load of hassle and I think that the same problem will come back.

I did have periods of weeks when the phone worked fine after disconnecting from te CK-300, but I dont know why.

I thought I had pinned it down to Firefox as it seemed to work fine after uninstalling Firefox but that was proved false after the last time I uninstalled it.

I have also tried uninstalling ALL applications using the App Manager but this hasnt solved it.

If you have some experiences in this matter that could be helpful.

Thank you.

with no disconnect problems. If you have it paired with many devices, it may not connect with the one you want. :-)

For another interesting benefit, you can hook the BH-214 to a stereo or external set of speakers. You can then stream audio off the N900 which you're holding in your hand. This doesn't work if the music is being streamed in over WIFI though, as you get contention.
Can you please explain how you got the BH-214 to pair with your N900 all I keep getting is (pairing failed. Authentication failed) even though it never even reaches the authentication field,
my other blue tooth device paired up with no problem.

Regarding the Ck-300 problem there is a bug that has been reported here - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9367

If you have experienced this problem adding your comments to it cant hurt and may even grab the attention of a bug fixer in the hope that they sort it out.

As an addendum to my pervious comments I have
1. uninstalled all applications with App manager
2. backed up to sd card
3. reinstalled PR 1.2 with PC Suite
4. restored from sd card

This didnt help at all, lol, sorry. Same problem. However I have had about a week of no problems, ending today when my n900 froze up again.

The only thing different is I followed the suggestions give on the bug.
1. I installed rootsh (download from apps)
2. In X-terminal typed "sudo gainroot"
3. typed 'killall -9 pulseaudio'

Now, I dont profess to know anything about how this works or even if I doing it right but it may be linked to my week without problems. Let me know if you get any joyplease.

I have installed PR1.3 but am having the same problems. Can anyone else confirm that this is still a problem for them after installing PR1.3?

I keep experiencing problems with BH-214 after PR 1.3. A problem to be precise. The answer button doesn't answer nor hangs up at all. Double press does not redial last number anymore as well. I remember this working some months ago. But I can't just recall since what it gave up working. Media buttons work from time to time. Is it possible to fix it as it has been wonderfully done with OBEX PBAP support on N900?

The pairing on BH-214 was unusual to me: while the headset is off you just have to press and hold the power button on it until the light near the button goes fast blue blinking. Then you can catch the pairing on the phone's side. It asks no password.
