Someone please shed some light! BT issue

Hi Guys,
Right, i'm looking for some way to stop my XDA2s "waking up" on connection/disconnection of Bluetooth.
Whenever i get in my car, my BA auto connects to my Nokia CK-7W Bluetooth car kit, as it should. But it also unlocks/turns on, allowing the screen/buttons to be pressed.
This wouldn't be so much of an issue if i had a car cradle (still shoppin about) but at present i'm using a leather case and its going mental in my pocket everytime i turn on/off my ignition.
I'm having to re-lock my phone everytime i get in or out my car...
This may well be 'normal' behaviour, but is there anyway to stop this 'wake on BT' ?? Even if only for the Nokia BT Profile in BT Manager...
Running standard spec (out of the box) unlocked XDA2s on O2 PAYG sim.
no updates as of yet. (if u feel this would help, please specify which)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.
Dickie.

Dickie, don't have your answer but I'm intrigued to find out if you get truly awful sound quality with your Nokia kit? i.e. the caller gets a truly horrendous echo?

They sure do JH,
Something i looked around for recently - only had the kit fitted last week.
I rang my office during its installation and my mate said it sounded fine, i've also had a friend say it didn't sound too bad when the engine wasn't started, but i've had definate problems during transit.
I've got an engineer looking at it tomorrow, will let you know if this can be resolved any other way than replacing (although he'll be swapping it for another brand if he can't sort it).
I believe an Ericsson model works fine??

Just a quick note, if others are experiencing sound quality issues, before blaming your kit/phone try cleaning the contact points on your sim/phone as my engineer stated 90% of echo issues he resolves this way....
not for me though, brand spanking new phone and even newer sim...
if only all fixes were that simple!

Wake up on BT connect/disconnect
I have the same isue with the phone waking up on connect/disconnect, but as I have my phone requiring it's PIN before anything can be done, then the phone goes back to sleep after 2 minutes.
I don't really find it an issue.

Universal problems.. battery?

Hi all. My first post...
So, here the point. I have an Universal, i think one of the first in commerce at least in Italy (well, i've buyed it.. oh.. 2 years ago, more or less).
Now, it had some problems: slow in some moments, bad call sygnal and sound quality. Nothing that a good Windows mobile 6.0 ROM cannot resolve!.
But in last 6 months, something going wrong: the phone is unstable, when i wire it at the charge, sometimes it don't start quickly to charge.. the red light don't appear and the battery don't be recharged.
Also, even with full charged battery, when i launch TomTom, after few seconds it reset, as all battery energy was quickly drained.
The combination of both events is funny: when i'm in car, and i want to use the tomtom, i have to collegate the Universal to car charger, but the universal have to auto-reset itself before starting to use energy from car.
Well, in my opinion this is a battery issue, and in yours? It can be also an hardware problem?
And, if it is a battery problem, i think it can be resolved substituting the actual battery. Can you suggest me an idea for an efficient but economical new one?
Thanks all.

wow...
too muck answers....
someone that can syntetize?

Hi,
If you search around, you'll find plenty of threads dealing with the problem. God helps those, who help themselves...

Good GPS-BT for Hermes WM6.1?

I was wondering if anyone knew a good GPS-BT thingy for the Hermes, one which has good battery and is somewhat portible to carry around..and connects nicely with say CRCs stable ROMs..
Any experience, tips&tricks out there? found nothing in the hermes forum for WM6.1..

I'm not running WM6.1, but I am running WM6 (K's rom). And I am using a G-sat BT-359. I'm assuming to would pair just the same, and work with google maps or MS live search just like it does on WM6.
It is small and stylish, fits nicely in a pocket. It makes it through a day of work for me, no problems (they claim it will get 11 hours on a charge, and it seems it will, but I haven't tried it on a long trip yet). It also paired nicely with my laptop and Street Atlas '05 played quite nice with it.
And the sensitivity is nice, much better than my old usb gps from my laptop, the BT-359 will receive satellites while inside my house, and have my location correct. It also works while in a pocket.
Hope this helps!

I just picked up the Garmin 10x. It was 120 bucks, but came with the map software for both my phone and my laptop. Works great, pairs easy. I'm using Pays v3(6.1) and no problems. The reciever gets about 22 hours on a charge.

I use the Garmin GPS 10x. It's small, rechargeable using the same cable / plug as the Hermes, has excellent battery life, and great satellite reception. I've had it for a little over a year and used it with Google Maps, MS Live, Garmin map software for Windows Mobile, and iNav software. Works well with any of them.

ebay
I got a gtop gps off of ebay 6 months ago for less than 40.00 and i am very happy with it. I have never run out of the battery on the gps. Navizon has paid it off and then some.

I have used a Deluo GPS unit that I picked up for $80 (USD).
It's nice that it uses a Nokia BLS-5 battery, so I don't have to rip the unit apart when the battery craps out.

GlobalSat BT-359
gets a fix in 20 seconds, SirfSTAR III chipset, replacable battery, $60
cant go wrong with this one, it got 5/5 in most reviews

I'm using the GlobalSAT BT-338
About 17 hours runtime on a full battery. Great signal recieving.
You can't go wrong with this one.

I've bought my second GPS receiver for it's size:
www.keychaingps.com
Link is for info only not price- I forget where I bought mine from but was £37 (GBP) inc delivery. Cold sat fix is excellent; always get a good signal. And best of all, put it on your keyring so it's always with you!
I'm using it with TomTom 6 on Hermes Schaps ROM and works great.

thanks for the many options, the hermes seems to work good with an external GPS-module, it's safe to buy one
I might get the keychain one, I only hope that it has a long standby time, I'm sure to forget to charge it and then suddenly need it..

My one seems to last weeks on standby- i tend to just 'top-up' the charge every now again just to make sure.

I also just bought the keychain, very good reception in Japan which is known to be a difficult area for gps, very fast, very small, and use time is 9 hour, very good time if you compare with the size.
Bought on ebay for 35£ + 10£ shipping. Best price possible.
And it's not sirf chipset but mtk 51 channels, compatible with 5 Hz information refreshing rate (still to be implemented in softwares...).
Nothing more to say... Enjoy!
(and perfect compatibility with Hermes+Schaps)

keychain seems the way to go for me too
so does it work when walking around with the chain in your pocket or rucksack? when you go tracking for example, or strawling through city streets..I've heard from a friend that his Orbit 2 (touch-cruise) GPS-function is useless for walking around..

I keep it in my pocket or in the backpack, so the bluetooth has a very good range I think. The only thing I noticed was that it needs to be in a very well-spaced area (sorry I don't know how to say it better, I mean you need to see the sky...) to get the primary signal, so I keep it in my hand during the 20 first seconds of switch on. But I think it's the same for every gps receiver.
Besides this, it this perfect. By the way I use it with Garmin Mobile XT.
Toni

Yep, agree with tonidekohlanta, you need to have it out for the initial signal then it can indeed be in your pocket or where ever (within reason of course!) and the signal is still strong.

Auto Powering on GPS
I do like the idea of a keychain for general usage but I would love that I could wire one into my car and as soon as it gets power it would switch on. I have BT3341 which is awesome but I cant mount it on my parcel shelf or anything as I have to switch it on whenever I want to use it. Anyone know of one that will power up as soon as it gets power?

aren't there devices which stay on standby bluetooth-on until the battery drains out? if so, just connect it to your cig-lighter in your car and let it run, forever!

The keychain as a energy save system : it goes on stand by when there is no bluetooth signal (generally when you close the gps software on your device). I didn't really tested the battery life in this case but one time I forgot to switch it off, anf when I realized it three days after, it was still working (but not for long maybe...). Also I heard that when the battery is low, the reception gets weaker.
By the way, keychain is delivered with cig lighter adapter (and the seller on ebay added a normal adapter which works also to charge the phone - very convenient!).
And also I heard somewhere that the holux gps receptor was nice, but I choose the keychain so I cannot say more.

I bought Holux M1200 for me and my wife. Works perfectly with TyTN and Touch. I keep it attached to the sun visor and it has great reception.

you can run into ports detection problems (in software like iGo) in some roms with htc home plugin. But it works fine if U reset software and turn off htc home from todays screen.

I'm still in doubt after the TP

Guys,
I appologies if I am going to repeat some of the stuff already written but believe me I read most of the posts already.
To keep the story short, last year I bought a TP and my intention was to retire my old trusted Wizzard. I was very disapointed and I sold the device after one month of frustration. Please keep in mind that my baseline is the Wizzard.
1. The sound level was so low I bearily heard the phone converstion when I was in a bit noisy environment (like in the car, or mall)
2. The touch screen became active when somebody called and the phone was replying automatically whilst in the pouch.
3. GPS lag, compared to my Wizzard plus an external gps, 2-3 seconds more delay compared with the Wizzard (TomTom)
4. No lateral buttons for voice recording during a call, or voice notes, without browsing the software.
5. The screen was way to small for the 3D interface.
6. Battery life very short, 1.5 days max compared to the Wizzard 3-4 days. (30 min calls, 30 min wifi, 1 hour of screen on for games per day.) For traveling the Wizzard with full battery, BT on and the screen on max bright, TomTom runing it lasts 4-5 hours. The TP last max 2,5 hours same conditions.
7. I use a lot voice calls while I'm in the car. Does the TP2 have it?
Please help me to decide whether the TP2 is the phone for me or maybe I should go for the TyTn II.
Thanks a lot for your feedback/opinions/comments.

Get it you'll love it

Touch Pro2 (Rhodium) is excellent, you will not be disappointed.
Also if you had waited a while and tried some of the custom Roms from here for you Touch Pro you would have been very impressed with the device, admittedly it did require a lot of reworking and tweaking on the software side of things to make it acceptable. I still have my Touch Pro and it really isn't that bad a device, the only reason I upgraded to the Rhodium was for the bigger screen and keyboard (my thumbs are far too large for the Touch Pro keyboard to be useable for my needs)
I also own a Tytn 2 and TP2 is a huge improvement over it!
GET ONE YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED>

Wizard Vs TP2
Hi there,
My personal experience with the wizard wasnt great, yes it was the first with a slide out, horizontal keyboard but it had a slow processor and was far too sluggish for the things I threw at it, I also had the Tytn and the Tytn 2 (my personal favourite for a long time) and I finally bought the TP2 (skipped the TP1 as I was so impressed with the Tytn 2 I felt it was moving slightly backwards).
I can say without doubt that I love the TP2, it's taken a little tweaking and getting used to as there is a lack of hardware buttons (no navigation buttons) and there is no voice call option via bluetooth (I am still working on getting MS Voice Command 1.6 to connect).
I would personally say that if you cam live without the hardware buttons and voice activated calling via bluetooth then go for it, otherwise get the Tytn 2 as it's still an amazing bit of kit and it still has the tilt screen.
I hope this helps.

Yes, it helps a lot, thank you guys for your feedback.
Concerning the voice call, without bluetooth, is it available on TP2? I mean like for the Wizard, you press a hardware button and the phone is waiting to make the voice call.
Is the phone loud enough, anyway louder than TP1?
I know the wizzard wasn't fast at all - I cannot run skype for instance - but with some compromises it fits my needs. Of course I would love the bigger screen and the faster processor and the integrated GPS of the TP2.
TX u all.

Does this mean that when the TP2 is connected to a car kit via bluetooth and then i initiate a call by speaking the name of the person through the car kit that it wont work ? i.e. my built in car kit has the option for voice dialing but it connects to the phone over bluetooth. Is this the same thing or have i misunderstood the quote above ?
thanks

MJYUN Wireless Earbud Review - Great for running

I recently got a pair of the MJYUN wireless earbuds, and I've been pretty impressed. I've been using them for the past few days, and so far, I'm quite impressed. The sound is pretty good for such a small headphone, with surprising bass and good treble and a decent sound stage. Where these really have shined, though, is the fit and comfort. These are very light and fit very well. So far, I've worn them at the office and for a few runs, and they have stayed in place with no issues and are very comfortable over longer duration. At my desk, I typically listen to music whenever I'm not in meetings, which this week has been mostly 1 to 2 hour stretches. During my runs, I haven't had any problem with them shifting or needing adjustment. Additionally, the ability to power just the right earbud is awesome for running or biking on the street. I also haven't had any issues with the the earbuds pairing with each other, whether they are powered on at the same time or the left one is powered on after the right one is already playing music. I have noticed a slight delay when watching movies (less than a second), which is a minor annoyance, but not a deal breaker for me.
The battery life so far has been great. I charged these fully when I got them on Saturday using a previously purchased usb c to c cable and charger, and they fully charged in 30 or 40 minutes. So far, I haven't had to recharge the case again. I love that this uses USB C, and the provided cable is nice to have. I've been able to consistently get 2 hours at a stretch before the battery dies. I replace the earbuds in the case when I am not using them, and that's been enough to maintain a charge. The case LED provides some indication of remaining charge (it shows green when it's open if the charge is >50%, and yellow when < 50%), and it's still showing green after about 6 hours of listening time, so I'm happy.
Phone calls work well. Both earbuds have a button, which is used to turn on the buds, pause or play music, and answer or end calls. Once the call is answered, only the right earbud provides audio. The people I talked to had no trouble hearing me, and the music restarted without any problem once I hung up.
Initial paring with my phone (a LG V20) was seamless, and I haven't had any issues with connecting since the initial pairing. Additionally, the range has been great. In my office, I was curious how good the range would be, and managed to get about 75 feet away from my phone before they started to break up (which beat my Garmin Vivoactive 3 by about 20 feet).
Overall, I have been very impressed with these, and would highly recommend these, especially for running or working out.

Here's some pictures of the headphones.
