RAZR V3 Auto Connect Problems

What carrier is your phone on? You may have manually turn on Bluetooth on the phone.

On my Sprint Motorola Razr V3m, if Bluetooth isn't already on for an existing connection (or an earlier attempt), it'll shut BT off after a few minutes.

Make sure that your RAZR Bluetooth is powered on. Go to settings, then connections, then select bluetooth link , then setup, then check that power is on.

 

I seem to recall having a similar problem with my wife's RAZR, and then discovered that the "auto connect" button was not enabled in the car's bluetooth/phone setup page. It now works fine, connects every time (this is to her HyCam, though).

For my blackberry to autoconnect to my Prius (or anything else), I also had to go into its (the blackberry's) bluetooth settings menu, find the Prius (once they had been paired), and change the "trusted" setting from the default of "no," to "yes." I don't recall that the RAZR had a "trusted" setting in its menus, though.

Mystery solved !
I was wondering who might have bought the Razr that I returned to Amazon some time ago. :lol:

Did you make sure to select the RAZR as the primary phone? If you register several phones with the vehicle, you need to select which one to make primary to use. The system only works with one phone at a time.

 

I have a Blackberry Pearl. It was Autoconnecting fine when I first bought it and sync'd it with my Prius. It was working for about 5 months. Now I'm having the same issues as people mention above. I have deleted the profiles both on my Prius and phone, and re-registered the phone. It connects initially, but won't Autoconnect. The car is set to Autoconnect. The phone "Trusted" option is set to Yes. I haven't found any blog/forum posting that has correctly identified this issue. A pain in my butt.
Any help is appreciated.

 

I understand the frustration, but sending the phone back is only one option. IF you want to keep the phone I assure you that it works. I have had 2 Razr V3m (my first was stolen). The newest Razr (purchases in Feb '08) has different firmware - but Bluetooth connection was still easy and possible. I'm sorry I don't remember specifically how I set it up, but I know you need to go into service discovery mode on the phone and then set it to have Bluetooth on all the time. Then you need to go to the car's telephone security/recognition screen and any security settings between both need to be compatible.

IT WILL WORK... i promise!

 

The OP wasn't having problems setting it up, it was the Razr then connecting automatically after the initial pairing. I'm having the same problems, detailed here. As I note there, I put the SIM into a Samsung SGH-T329 and it re-connects perfectly. Since the Razr isn't reconnecting with two different cars (albeit both Toyotas) I'm guessing it's a V3 issue.

 

My wife's Razr V3 and my Blackberry Pearl 8130 both auto connect every time, so it can be done (Verizon). Since it's been 8 months since I set it up, I can't tell you the exact procedure, only that it's possible.

Also, remember if you have two phones registered and you switch users, you have to go deep into the menu system to manually change users. I really hate this -- it's totally unacceptable in a technically sophisticated car.
