Hero (G2) Bluetooth issues since 2.1 update

[speedygonzalez]

Ok well since T-Mobile UK finally released the full 2.1 update for the Hero Aka G2 I have noticed something quite curious, unlike 1.5 when I switch on my Bluetooth it does not automatically connect to my handsfree / media streaming car stereo?

I have to manually go in to the bluetooth settings and tell it to connect, which is annoying when you have realised bluetooth is off and you want to make a call whilst on the motorway.

Does anyone know of a fix to make the phone look for paired devices and connect automatically on bluetooth being enabled?

Did you "pair" it first time with your stereo? I have done so with my sony autostereo and every time i switch on BT on my hero it connects with radio , no problems....

In the BT settings, press and hold on the device name that is your car stereo, and select "Options...". There you will have "Connect" checkbox which controls whether or not to connect to the device automagically, and below it will be checkboxes for each BT profile (or service).
