This is my first post. i only just got my o2 xdaIIs last week i got two units both the same with the same issues. as i have two GG headsets one is a gg301 and the other is a gg02.
The problem i am having is on the active connections on outgoing the signal level goes from full 5 green bars to 1 red bar all the time without even touching the headset or handset. this happens even when the headsets are right next to the handset.
XDAIIs
Rom version: 1.31.00 WWE
Rom date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM: 1.31.920 WWE
Model No.PH20B
Windows Mobile 2003 second Edition version 4.21.1088(build 14132)
BT-PPC/PE version 1.0.0 build 3500
Is this normal or is it the headsets i am using becuase the www.see02.com website saying that my handset is upto date.
aparently xda 2s's are a little pants when it comes to bluetooth headsets, i know u prob have, but art thou on bt 3900?
try headsets on another device to see if they are the cause.
but i reckon u wont get it fixed til the next update rom from o2.
I have just completed the rom update and still a no go on the gg headsets range is still not better then 30cm and there is a hissing sound on the 3rd party's end. i guess the gg headsets are not Compatibile with the BA XDAIIs
its nothing to do with your bt handsfree.
its the blueangel that has a poor BT hardware/software.
it is also the gg headsets as i have tried them on a nokia phone better quaility but still very poor and some feedback static noise.
Hi, i would like to change my wizard.
I found that the processor (ti omap 850 200mhz) lacks speed, and the 400mhz seems good.
Can someone tell me if the difference is important?
i also have a problem with the wizard that im not sure if the hermes solve it. I have a Bluetooth GPS and a Motorola a2dp headset.
When i use both at the same time, the headset stops working, and starts skipping audio. I guess this is because the wizard has Bluetooth 1.2. But Hermes has 2.0, so with bigger bandwidth, i guess this might work.
This working is top priority in my case.
Please excuse my english, im spanish.
Pd: im seeing that there are several versions of hermes, one with a secondary VGA camera, and the other without it. Is that the only difference?
Pd2: on wizard there are G3/G4 models. I have a G4, so flashing is complicated. Something similar happends on Hermes?.
Ok, yes the proccessor is MUCH faster on the hermes (i switched from a wizard to a hermes and it is noticeable).
Can't tell you much about the bluetooth problems your having other than there are tweaks around to improbe a2dp but i don't know about both at the same time. I don't have a bluetooth headset but i do use my bluetooth gps reciever a lot and never ran into trouble.
The different versions of the hermes are the HERM100/200/300. The one without the front facing vga camera is the one sold under cingular/att in the US because video calling is not supported by their network (not yet atleast). So the only differences in the models are the looks, the processor and everything else is the same.
As for flashing, i think only the softbank models had issues with flashing earlier on but i think those are all cleared out. So no need to worry about G3/G4 models as u did with the wizard.
Hope that answers your questions, but one more thing to say; If your willing to hold off for a month and a bit until you get a new device i suggest waiting for the HTC Kaiser which is rumored to be released in September.

Thank you, that pretty much gives me an idea about hermes.
The thing is that i live in argentina, and i have a change to bring a hermes (bought on eBay) in the next couple of weeks.
Which will be the advantages of Kaiser comparing it to Hermes?
i've notice that some HTC phones are coming without the 850 gsm band, which is used in here.
i still hope someone reads this and confirms about the GPS + headset functionality.
Hi Guys
I've got an Erisin unit for my E46 which is running MTBC-KGL-V2.55. It's totally stock at the moment.
From what I understand, there are KGL MCU versions up to 2.80 and versions with enhanced sound logic.
What benefits will I get from updating? What are the differences between standard and modded sound versions?
Cheers
Nick
Somewhere around 2.55 support was added to allow up to 2 hours of "sleep." There were some modified versions which changed the setup of the audio controller, something which can now be done better using MTC Sound.
Other than that, the most noticeable change with newer versions is to cause people problems, because for some reason they think newer is better, upgrade for no reason, and end up breaking something. It's likely that newer versions are released primarily to support newer models, and have little if any benefit for current models.
Exactly my suspicions. Thanks!
Personally I'm interested in the improved sound quality as I'm not 100% happy with how my system sounds. It's for that reason I'm interested in upgrading my MCU
Hello guys im creating this topic in order to find out more about this particular unit, ive already been searching the forum but i cant seem to find opinions on this unit.
Im thinking in buying this one instead of rns-e (original audi) because not only it is cheaper, but it also offers a lot more options since its an android unit. altough its a chinese unit and thats kinda what makes me get one foot behind this buy.. Is there anyone that has the same unit? or same hardware/software that could give me some positive/negative feedbacks?
The unit its this one.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/231594075480?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Quadcore 1.6
1024x screen
1gb ram
Heres a video of it working, appearance its similar, and hardware its the same i think

Thanks in advance for your feedback mate.
Can you tell me if the screen is good against the sun light, even on full brightness? Can you actually read things there while theres light in it?
How about the sound quality? Bass?
Thanks!!!
Hi @Ezreal,
I have that one (manufacturer KGL) installed in my Exeo and it works pretty well, only thing I am missing is the radio station/song names and well, of course the navigation instructions in the FIS/DIS screen that you can get only with the RNS-E...
Everything is working fine and would recommend that 100%, although I think I remember the original radio sound better. But that was over 1 year ago when I had that.

Well thats my fear too, i know that the rns would sound a lot better than this one, but well its expensive, and old, its not even touchscreen, although its OEM and wont have problems with GPS/Sound quality..
Do you recomend giving like 360€ for a chinese radio?
RNS its like 550€ +.......
Depends on your needs... If you want to have your car full OEM, then for such a difference go for a RNS-E, but if you want to have all the possibilities that give you android, then China radio... You can install tomtom + all the apps from android for instance and is more customizable...
If you use the gps a lot, I would decide the China radio, if it is only to have MP3 + basic gps functionality + full integration then go for the original one. Your decision

The thing is. I would like to have a radio that could reproduce videos like concerts and stuff, and many more stuff.
The RNS wont read video files.. but has a really nice sound quality, which i dont know if the chinese radio has since its not OEM.
I have a radio 1 din on my A4 and has a really nice sound quality, and bass etc. Im afraid i will lose that quality if i go chinese radio and not OEM.. What do you think?

Then go for the Chinese one. RNS-E will not give you out of the box what you are willing to play.
Sound quality in the Chinese one I think can be improved via de equalizer just adjusting manually the values, but didn't tried yet several combinations. Anyway it is not bad quality sound not to choose that one because one because of that, but I think it is little bit below the standard radio. I may be wrong as it is just my point of view.

Ok i see, i never heard a chinese one playing thats why im questioning..
But how about gps for instance? Does it work well? Crashes? Bugs?
Video must be awesome to play it at night for the passengers and stuff...
Everything is working flawlessly, I am pretty happy with it, I have Malaysk rom and improves the device a lot.
Regarding music sound, I use the app "bass eq" and really notice the difference for better
Try Viper4Android!
Hi, I'm looking at getting one of these for my Audi A2. Currently the only option for the A2 is to purchase A4 RNS-E and modify it to fit the dash of the A2.
The question I have, which relates to your units, is that the Eirisn ES2028A states a resolution of 1024x600, and the pumpkin 11-C1220-UK-A states a resolution of 800x480.
Can anyone confirm if the Erisin does actually have a higher resolution screen, as I was on the understanding that they are all made by the same company (HuiFei), then distributed by different resellers (Pumpkin, Erisin, Eonon, Joying, etc).
Any help would be appreciated.

Well according to ebay, pumpkin is 800x, I think the others are all 1024x, but cant confirm 100%
Thank you for the quick reply.
Is it worth going for the higher resolution screen?
I've seen more info about Pumpkin versions than Erisin, so wasn't sure if it was worth going for the lower resolution screen and getting a possibly more robust headunit.
I'll keep an eye on the Erisin units then, unless the others update their screens.

Well i dont think its a huge diference between resolutions since the screen is only 7"..
If it was a TV i would go for higher resolution, but again, i can be wrong because i never saw both standing near me so i could test it.. I would wait for experts to come and take our doubts out..
But the price its kinda the same.. the 800 one its the same (sometimes bigger) than the 1024.. according to ebay..

In my A3, I have had to fade the sound mostly to the back and then crank up the volume a bit. With the addition of Viper4Android app, I have been able to make a pretty good sound stage... but the original Audi Concert audio system still sounded better IMO.

Yeah that's what I've done up to now, but the volume is turned up to 3/4 or higher now.. May just run new wires to the front door speakers and rear speakers, and do away with the factory amp.

Also, sorry for all the questions !! To use Viper4android, I pressume you need root ? The device shows as rooted, but viper4android shows no root access ? How did you overcome this..

For sure, it's nice to have another Audi on here with the same issues... my volume level is constantly up to about half (15) just to hear anything, then up to like 25 with the windows down and rolling.
Viper4Android installed, with the stock firmware EQ's basically all the way up and the "loud" setting on, has made a significant difference. I'm not sure why V4A says you don't have root... but I would reinstall it right after doing the root password and adb password in the system settings. I have constant root on the Malaysk ROM, so I am not sure.
I am also thinking about hitting up the guys on this website... http://enfigcarstereo.com/audi_radio_installation.html . They have all sorts of aftermarket gadgets for our Audi's that help overcome aftermarket stereo issues. I am looking at the "Enfig RWH-AUD2-HILO" as a possible solution for the low audio/factory amp problem.

Ok got Viper4android sorted !!! didn't know about the root password - Thanks for that !!
I also looked at the Enfig hilo adaptor aswell, but being in the UK - was looking for something closer to here to try, found a few that may do the same but may need buy two and tweak the connections (Phonocar 4/136 High Level Adaptor)
Thanks again !!
