Bluetooth and Blackberry problem??

[steve999]

Hi all - wondering if anybody has any thoughts on a frustrating problem that I am suffering in the bluetooth connection between my 2006 Z4C and Blackberry 8100 (software version 4.2.1.103).

When I pair the phone to the car, there are no problems. Also about 50% of the time when I get in the car, the two link fine and I can find my contacts and make calls no problem. However, the rest of the time, the two seem to link, but when I go to use the phonebook I get 'half' of one phone number (eg 0140375) and if I try to flick through for additional numbers it says 'No Entries'. I can receive calls when it's like this, but can't make them. There doesn't seem to be any particular rhyme or reason to why it works perfectly sometimes and not others.

I've tried clearing SMS messages from the phone and this didn't help at all.

Does anybody else have this problem? Anybody got any ideas what's causing it and more importantly, how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

I had problems when I first paired my blackberry into my E46. The IT guy at work suggested I save a cut down copy of my contacts to help avoid problems, but the list of contacts does seem to be in a strange order on the car (depending if I had saved the entry as company name or first name I think).

What seemed to work for me was to re-upload the contacts from the blackberry to the car, and it's been fine since.

For info, SMS messages don't come up on my car with the blackberry.

Hope this helps,
Steve

I had to delete all my 'groups' before I could pair my Blackberry in my car.

Thanks - have reduced contacts on the phone from 400+ to 70, hopefully that will work.
