Bluetooth problems after GB update

I have been a happy Droid X owner since December without any Bluetooth issues, but since the update to GB a couple of weeks ago I am having one particular Bluetooth issue that is driving me nuts.

 

If I attempt to make a call on any one of my 3 different Bluetooth enabled in-dash car stereo systems, I end up having to try and call 2 or more times in order for the phone to dial and connect.  This occurs if I enter the number directly on the Bluetooth device in the dash, or recalling a stored number, either from the phonebook, speed dial or recent call list.

 

The phone stills transfers the phonebook, call list, etc just fine.  I just cannot make a call without trying 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 times. When it finally connects, it works just fine.  Everything worked fine for months until the GB update.  This happens on the 3 different Bluetooth systems that I routinely use.

 

I have tried doing a re-pair process without any change in behavior. 

 

Can I go back to the old version of Android? 

 

I poked around on the forums and don't know if doing a 'master reset' would help or not.  I don't have many additional apps loaded (Battery Watcher, ColorNote, GasBuddy, GPS Status, Handcent and Super Flashlight).

 

Thanks!

"3 different", are they independent of each other/different phones? same earpiece for all three?

gb affected a lot of things that folks were used to. i've got a phantom pop3 account that doesn't show-up in my accounts but sends/receives fine.

remove, re-pair all connections.

 

i'm not willing to do the reset either and need to re-enter everything and maybe still not gt the account to show up.

By '3 different' I mean I have 3 vehicles that each have a in-dash stereo/bluetooth hands-free setup (i.e. build-in nav/dvd/sat radio/bluetooth/etc) that I use with my Droid X (I drive differnet vehicles on differnt days depending on what I'm doing). I don't use a headset/earpiece, the bluetooth goes thru the vehicle mounted mic andstereo system speakers.

 

Each vehicle(s) bluetooth worked correctly since I bought my Droid X in December.  However with the upgrade to GB, I have to make a call 2 or 3 or 4 times before I can get the call to connect.  This happens in each vehicle, so the issue is with GB on my Droid X.

 

I removed and re-paired several times on each unit with no change in behaviour.  Wish I could go back to android 2.3.2

I would do a factory reset. That clears up a lot of errors like this.

I cleared the system cache as found on other posts, but the problem trying to make a call via bluetooth is still there.

 

Guess I'll have to try the system reset next.

hope it works, as you have to redo everything again, accept what's on the sd card.

Great thanks to all community memebers responding here. Stevepsd, if your reset didn't resolve this, I can help. Please send me a personal message through this forum. Include your name, your mobile number and a good time to call. Thanks!
