Moving from XDAII to M2000 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Is this really a bad idea?
From what I've read the M2000 has it's problems, not least the constant resetting and poor BT headset performance.
My XDAII is great and the Jabra BT250 works great.
I'd appreciate any comments from those who've made the upgrade.
Orange are letting me have one FOC for comitting to another 12 months but now I'm not so sure.

Don't Do It.
believe me don't do it its not worth it.
the screen is bad and you have microphone & the sliding keyboard problems.
& not to mention the blue tooth cracking that is you're jabra won't work you will just hear cracking.
so wait for the xda i.
which is suppose to launch by the end of thus month or january next year.

Microphone gain too low (phone)

People compain that they do not hear me...
this goes for the internal microphone unless i hold the QTEK horizontally (microphone neat mouth) og handsfree, unless I hold the microphone in front of my mouth.
during recording, the internal microphone is very sensitive and just fine.
how can I make it that sensitive when using the phone ?
Start -> Settings -> System -> Microphone AGC
Play around with this one, and see if it gets any better..
If not, buy a BT handsfree?
no, I (we) know for a fact that this setting have nothing to do with Phone-mode, *only* recording.
sorry, read my last post is a big problem of Qtek 9090
no solution the 9090 only works with the headset bluetooth
I returned my 9090 and took a 2020 !!
read other post in this forum and other forum, many people say the same... the 9090 phone is very bugged !!!!
french, spain, netherland and more country user have the same problem.
try once to hold your phone in the other hand ;-) ... i had people complaining about my spv m2000 being too silent and then i discovered, that i covered the little microphone hole which is a littlebit towards an edge and not excatually in the middle of the phone... so i concentrated on not covering the hole anymore and never had anybody complain about the volume since..

Mic too quiet
I've got the same problem as the original poster - on a Blue Angel XDA IIs.
I agree that the AGC works for the voice recording (and does a crystal clear job too) but for standard voice calls it's getting on for being as deaf as a doorpost.
Surely one of you techies has found a way of implementing the AGC function for voice calls :?: :idea:
Same problem. The problem doesn't appear every time. Using the headset doesn't fix the problem.
I'm very disappointed, the 9090 is great, but is not a phone. I'll maybe change with a treo 650...

newer units seem to be fixed
I just received my Cingular Siemens SX66 Monday, and the microphone issue seems to have been resolved in the newer units. Don't know what was changed, but I have used the phone in both speakerphone and held to ear modes and everyone says I am coming thru almost with wired quality. Maybe HTC and Siemens took the extra time to market to fix some of the early production issues. I also find the build quality to be excellent on my unit.

living with the IIs

ok, having got over the initial gadget fever which fuelled my earlier post, "O2 in possibly got it right with IIs shock", I thought I'd give an update on life with my new matt black pal.
Pro's:
The software on the IIs is far better all round than previous models, the new users at work have taken to it very quickly & all comment that it's mostly very intuitive.
I still think it looks great!
The phone mic quality appears to be a vast improvement on the II.
Cons:
The keyboard still hasn't won me over, tapping this post out all style!
I have to admit that the yellow hue on the screen is in attendance on my model, nobody else has complained about this at work but then, they haven't got 2x Xda II & an iPaq 4150 to compare it with.
Bluetooth is not quite as flawless as first hoped! I get some crackling and general flakiness (sometimes connecting, sometimes not) when in use with both a Jabra 250 headset & a nokia car kit. In addition, although the IIs works ok (not immune to forementioned flakiness) with a standard BMW built in bt kit (00465?), it doesn't want to play with the new "i-drive" models (75579?), we've had to resort to using another Sim card in a nokia 6310i and call forwarding when getting in the car! Roll on the first ROM update.
Overall though still more than happy and my old II is stuck in a cupboard gathering dust!

Downgraded Bluetooth

I originally got my M2000 with BT 1.0.0.3500.
It worked OK with my Southwing headset but I heard that getting the upgrade to 1.6.0.600 would improve the sound quality.
I upgraded and there was very little improvement, if any.
I then noticed that the connection with my headset was very erratic.
The headset would connect ok and the m2000 would repond correctly to me pressing, double-pressing or tripple-pressing the control button on the headset. If I made a call from the handset it would be transferred to the headet. However, this would only happen for one call. Once I had made and terminated one call it would get kinda stuck and not reset itself so I could not use the headset properly. The only way I could fix this was to turn off the headset, do a reset on the m2000 and then switch on and reconnect the headset.
Finally got fed up and downgraded back to 1.0.0.3500 and it's all OK again.
Anyone else had similar problems ?
southwing and bluetooth
I just bought a southwing bluetooth headset and couldn't wait to get started. Little did I know that the pain was just about to start.
I am using an Orange SPV M2000 with the 1.12.22 WWE ROM and Radio version 1.04, build 2200 of bluetooth stack 1.00 build 2200. Not sure if this is the problem.
Anywaythe Southwing sounds fine when i use it but the volume that its sends to the other party is about 10 times to low and even when yelling I can't be heard well. Is this a known problem with either the Blue Angel phones or SouthWing headsets? Is it easy to upgrade to a newer bluetooth stack? Is this something I should do?
Sorry to reply to your question with another question but do you find the volume levels acceptable on your SouthWing?
I have had a lot of complaints from callers when I use my southwing including too quiet, static and background noise, voice cutting in and out, sounding like I'm in a tunnel etc.
Fortunately it has also fallen apart, i.e. the grey rubber eargrip bit keeps coming off the main body.
I bought mine at expansys so they said I could just send it back for a refund.
I have just bought a Cardo Scala 500 (also from expansys) which should arrive tomorrow.
It looks pretty cool and the reviews says the sound quality is excellent.
It also has an alternative to the round-the-ear grip which is a little stem that clips onto the arm of your glasses. Exellent for me as I wear specs.
I would seriously think about upgrading your ROM to 1.31.00 and then patching your BT Stack.

BT800 pulled by Fonejunkie, say due to poor build quality

http://www.fonejunkie.com/jabra-bt800-bluetooth-headset-p-500.html
?? Apart from possible time lag issue for answering call, I thought Jabra BT800 was praised for use with Exec (and XDA IIs) ??
Anyone heard anything to corroborate above?
I'll sell you mine. I used it for the first time today and I think my ear is a little small for it.
I bought it on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5827236759&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1) just the other day and I had a problem with the cover so I RMA'd it. I received a new one, which is fine, yesterday and used it for the first time today.
I have one as well.
Works very well, but I dont use it, so for a reasonable offer, I can send it with all the bits.
Jabra had a batch though thats all.
>>I had a problem with the cover<< - this may be what the company were referring to.
if by problem with the cover you mean the front cover came off, the same thing happened to the one i brought off of eBay! so i sent it back and got a new one, then the front came off of that when i used it for an hour. I put a bit of glue on the one connecting joint and its been perfect ever since!!
I noticed another strange thing with my BT800.
My customers can hear some of my ringtone when I answer a call via the headset. Now, you may think this is not big deal, but when your ringtone is the song, "I like to move it, move it.", this can be a BAD thing!
I have a Motorola 850 and this isn't an issue.
I thought that MS Voice Command was causing the problem due to the annoucing but it doesn't happen w/ the MoTo 850.
Now, the BT800 is supposed to be upgradable so I'd like to see Jabra put out an update to fool the universal into thinking it's a stereo device. Maybe then Voice Command will work via BT. (That is if my understanding of the problem is correct.)
I just recieved mine today didnt even get out of the box in one piece, faceplate problem again.
What a crock of $hit :x
I think this is a better option than the Jabra BT800. They both have displays and cheaper too:

I would like to see that headset on someones head. See if it looks good. Only thing I dont like is the fact that the OLED screen is on the outside of the headset so everyone can see what number your calling. Though it looks like its a lot better than Jabra.

Motorola S9 - White noise at higher volumes

I've just bought a pair of Motorola S9 headphones and whilst overall I'm pleased with them I have noticed one thing. At higher volumes (on the headset volume) there is audible white noise in the background. It is noticable when the transmitting device begins transmitting audio as there is a second or so before the music starts where the headphones go from absolutely silent to a faint hiss. It's also noticable on when listening to quieter songs. I've tried 3 different A2DP transmitting devices thinking they might be the cause of it but in each case the noise was present.
I wonder if other Motorola S9 owners could share whether their sets suffer the same problem?

Hi problem here
I got an S9 but I can't use it with my O2 XDA Exec. Too much skipping and stuttering. Some one told me that I would need the Broadcomm BT Stack. Which device are you using with S9. The HT820 doesn't have any of the problems u mentioned.
Ciao
I'm primarily using them with an Orange branded HTC TytN running Schap's 4.0 WM6 ROM. Compared with the original WM5 ROM that the phone came with bluetooth audio works flawlessly from both Windows Media player & HTC's Audio Manager except for the slight background noise. I must emphasize that the noise is faint and usually not noticable until you crank the volume up to a high level on the S9s. I've also tried them with a Belkin USB bluetooth dongle and the Broadcom stack and and iTech USB bluetooth dongle and the Bluesoleil v5 stack. Same result for all of them.
I'm just trying to figure out if this is usual or if I have a problem with my pair.
Thanks
Neil
Motorola S9 sweat problems?????????
Hi all, I wanted to share with all outdoor fans my bad experience with the Motorola S9.
First of all, I am a 42K Marathon runner.
Second, I can't run without music I know, I'm weird
Third, I needed a BT headset that was offered as "Sweatproof"
Before you guys to start laughing, I don't sweat oceans of salty water from my ears! I'm just the average guy...
Today, I've busted my third headset in 2 Months! (All of them gently replaced by Motorola warranty)
They gave me a refund telling me that there was no solution for the Summer season, since people sweats more than usual... (WTF)
Any other good BT headset to reccomend?
BTW, the sound quality was similar to heaven using my HTC Touch.
Thanks!
Same Problem - NOT sweatproof
I can concur, just yesterday my S9 stopped working. I can no longer turn the volume up but all other buttons work. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone as it neither works very well as a phone or a long term workout option. I was happy with the sound and how light they are so i think motorola are on to a good thing but some more "road" testing is needed.

Same problem here. I've gone through 4 of them in a month and a half. It is by far one of the worse purchases ever. It doesn't matter if it is a 2 mile run or a 20 mile run. The buttons just stop working and it takes 15 days to get a turn around replacement. Don't get the S9 if you plan on using them as they say "for active users." I've just decided to only use mine around the office. Get a different product because these are totally NOT worth it!
I was going to buy a Motorola S9 product, but after reading these review, I guess i'll keep looking for another one.
Any recommendation guys? I'm looking for a lightweight sleek BT Stereo headset mainly for listening to music on my HTC P3600 and laptop , I don't care too much about quality of sound, instead what matters to me most is being comfortable and lightweight.
Anything in mind??
Thanks in advance.
s9 not sweatproof

I know it's not the most glamourous option, but I wear a headband to sop up the sweat from my head so it doesn't run into the headset. I actually do sweat buckets and without the headband I quickly ruined traditional headphones.
