I was really loving my Treo 650 coupled to my 530i with Bluetooth, but today it stopped working. I can couple them, over and over, but no calls work and no address book transfers. THIS WAS ALL WORKING PERFECTLY YESTERDAY!! Arg...

What is the correct sequence for a Reboot on a 2005 530i, no DVD. Power and Eject on my running car does not work for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Quick update... I can get the phone and car to pair sporadically now, occasionally making a phone call, but the BT drops seconds after a pairing. I'll bet something is messed up and needs repair.

Anyone else have this occurence?

Bummer!!! I hate it when something was working and then simply quits. The problem now is to determine whether it's the phone or the TCU/car. Maybe you can get someone at the phone company to try and pair a different phone with the car and rule out the phone?

Mine's been working fine since the first pairing with no issues.
Sorry I don't have a solution for you.

Did you install any new s/w on the Treo...anything?

I have a treo 650 and a '04 545. I've had repeated problems with the phone repeatedly resetting itself after pairing and making the 1st call. I've narrowed it down to my favorites. As long as I put no speed dials in there are no conflicts. I'm not sure if it is a specific phone number I'm using or if it is the quantity of numbers I put in but the only way to resolve it is to do a hard reset and restore it after deleting PhoneFavorites from the backup file.

Mine was doing the same thing. No longer resetting after performing hard reset. Now phone will not stay paired. tcumbo, have you found a solution? Thanks.

I think I know the problem with your phone working sporatically. I have a 650 and just tonight bought my wife one. One of the techs at Cingular checked my SIM card and immediatly gave both my wife and I new SIM chips. My old card was a 32k card, and the tech said the Treo 650's don't work well with the 32k card and upgraded my card to a 64k card. To other sales people both said the Treo's are having problems with the programs if you are using the old 32k card. The other benifit of having the 64k card is the Treo's run faster. I guess doubling the SIM memory allows programs to work better and prevents the phone from powering off and freezing.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion!! Great idea! - Also, I'm going to pull the Favorites out of my phone (I have 35) - it seems to be having problems when I load the whole phone entries, then drops.

Will report back....

Just to let you know, I now have 40 favorites with no problems. They all show up in the BMW phonebook. I found that it seems to be any attachments to the numbers, ie autodial passcodes or PINS for answering services +/or long distance services that creat the conflicts. Good luck. It works great when it works.
