Dear Readers,
As many of you know the E75 has been known to have bluetooth problems. The readers of this blog made me aware of this problem and I have been reading their comments on this issue trying to come up with a solution to their problem.
Since I doubted that the actual bluetooth device was the problem, because the E75 is a follow up to the well known E71, I thought that the problem might lie in the software. Also, when I bought my E51 from Orange the phone had a lot of issues because they had tampered with the firmware. When I reinstalled the firmware a lot of those issues where gone and the phone worked faster and better.Taking in consideration those factors, I thought that for the E75′s bluetooth problem reinstalling the firmware might do the trick.
And I found out that it worked for some. So if you have problems than you should try my suggestion. Thanks for reading the E75 blog and I await your future comments on this issue and many more.
Sincerely,
Alex

When I first got my e75, I transfered using Nokia’s utility my N95 data and also updated the phone. At one point I bought a motorola bluetooth H710 headset and got the connectivity problem. It always failed to connect except maybe once despite numerous attempts and hours spent changing configuration, removing the battery, erasing all settings, etc. However it could connect to my pc via bluetooth…
Then I decided to reinstall the firmware but it did not help. Finally removed the memory card, backed up the phone memory and hard reset the nokia using the code *#7370# as described in http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-470-how-to-reset-your-nokia
Restored the memory, reinstalled the card and now it works flawlessly automatically connecting to the motorola headset when turned on.
I had the same issues with connecting with my Merc. Read some curious advice on another thread – delete your excess messages, keep them under 200, then bluetooth works.
This is really wierd, but it worked for me.
my Nokia N75 phone contact selection not accurate ie i select one name and call then phone calling another name what can I do sir
I’ve experienced the same issues with my BH-602 headset. Initially it connected fine 2 or 3 times, then it stopped working and I occaisionally got the ‘first disconnect u(%) 74′ error, then bluetooth would just report ‘unable to create connection’.
I’ve tried resetting the BH-602 and installing the latest E75 firmware to no avail.
I read the message at the start of this forum about keeping SMS messages < 200, and afterwards my E75 connected to the headset first time…

I deleted the 300 text messages that I had, and then it worked fine.
MANY THNAKS!!
Yes, deleting the 300 text messages that I had cleared the problem. I can now connect with my car’s bluetooth. Many thanks!
Deleting the messages worked for me as well. Makes me wonder’Do the Nokia people know this?’
@Hrishi I believe they do this is a very old bug and maybe in the next firmware update thay might get rid of it.
I’m unable to get an efficient bluetooth connection between my 3 Series BMW and Nokia E75. The phone is still new, with less than 100 sms’s. The car and the phone are able to pick each other up, but cannot sustain the connection for 2 seconds. And the phone ends up malfunctioning; & will only work well after switching it off then on again.
Please help!
I have a Dell XPS M1310 and am trying to establish a Bluetooth connection between the notebook and my Nokia E75. This has been previously achieved but after the phone coming back from repairs from Nokia, the phone is unable to detect the notebook and the notebook is unable to detect the phone.
Bluetooth settings on the phone are with visibility “Shown to everyone” with full batteries. I have tried upgrading the phone’s firmware and reinstalling Bluetooth drivers on the notebook. I have also tried taking out the batteries and rebooting and restoring factory settings. The notebook is able to successfully accept Bluetooth connections from other Bluetooth devices so I surmise that the problem is in the phone.
Would be grateful for any help.
Had the same problem (E75 stable bluetooth connection with Volvo XC 60 which worked perfectly for months suddenly impossible), could fix it by deleting all but by far fewer than 200 SMS textmessages (inbox and folder sent). Thanks for the tip! It is a shame that Nokia does not care about this annoying problem.
HI..
I stumbled up on this thread just minutes ago. Mine E75 is randomly switching it self off. That is quite irritating. So I was thinking maybe issue with microSD card. I used phone without SD card for few days and it it was ok. Put back original Nokia, fresh formatted SD card and phone switched off within 12 hours.
Then I decided to stop use Bluetooth. Again it seems phone will stop switch it self of but then I have issue that I can’t use mine BH-604, original Nokia BT hands free set.
Bottom line is, I think this phone is nice and practical but also severely F**ed up by Nokia.
I am using this phone about year now and beside this random switching off problem I am disappointed there are no stronger battery packs readily available then 1000mAh and GSM reception is rather pour compared to average mobile phone.
That makes it to be bad apple, though hard resets seems to be helpful for short period of time.
