I just switched over to an SX66 from an Axim X30 (624Mhz) and loving the converged life.
I've had very few, minor problems but the one that really bothers me is the signal strength of the wifi connection.
In my house, from my bedroom with the Dell, I was able to get a great signal to surf with. However, with the Siemens I don't get connected at all. :x I almost have to be within 20 ft of the router (Belkin) in order to connect and then I do connect. It's not a question of speed, only distance from the router.
Also I was in a hotel last week when I bought the Blue Angel. I had the Axim with me at the time. The Axim had a great signal and I was able to retrieve emails.... The BA did not get any signal.
I am using a sotfware called Wifi companion and use the proper WEP settings but it only connects within 20 feet.
Is this as good as it gets???
Please advise!!
Thanks in advance,
Larry
To some extent, the limited range of the SX66 is due to its design; however, 20 ft sounds a bit extreme. In my experience, the range is a bit better than that -- I've picked my neighbor's WiFi more than once, so that suggests a range of at least 50 ft.
One thing that might help is updating your ROM firmware. Customized SX66-friendly upgrades can be downloaded from http://home.comcast.net/~sx66-blueangel/.
My XDA2s will only pick up the signal from my linksys router in the main rooms of my house. If I go into the conservatory (about 20 feet away) I get nothing. My laptop will pick it up ouside some 30 meters away.
From what I've read in these forums this is about average. Something to do with the antenna position inside the device.
EDIT: Right now I'm sat in my bedroom 5 feet above my wireless router in the room below. My signal strength is 50%.
EDIT 2: I just switched the setings from 'best battery' to 'best performance' and the signal strength dropped to around 33%. Wierd.
We got two tilt 2's yesterday. First, MINE (ugh) makes a click sound when putting the tilting screen back to flat. Doesnt do it when moving the screen anywhere but just as it gets back to completly flat to the base. A little click or snap noise like a peice of plastic breakage. It keeps doing it every time. The other one doesnt do this.
Secondly, right after we got them and left, i noticed her led was blinking showing power was on. Mine wasnt blinking at all. I just checked and i dont get a blinking blue light with blue tooth enabled either. I am not able to check the other tilt 2, but i suspect hers would be blue if the blue tooth was enabled.
Im thinking about hard resetting. If that doesnt cure it, exchange? Problem is, they were the only 3 the store had and some one else took the other as we did our thing.
I don't know about your other problems, but my phone also makes that noise when closing the screen flat. It doesnt really bother me that much so I don't plan on returning it unless it becomes worse.
How about the Tilted screen? when you touch it tilted, or shake it slightly when tilted, does the screen wobble? I got mine yesterday, and if I hold it at an angle to straight in my hand, when I touch the screen it 'plays' back and forth 3-4 degrees... very annoying
And yes, it clicks too when closed flat...
Me thinks it goes back for another unit.... how do your units behave? Is the screen firm when tilted, or does it wobble?
I've never gotten a blinking light with power on any HTC phones.
Maybe it's a voicemail indicator?
I haven't learned the ins and outs of the LEDs yet. I know with EnergyROM installed I don't see a Bluetooth blinkenlight when BT is on, but currently I'm set as not discoverable and not paired with anything.
duplicate... where's the delete?
This is bothering me too. Lights don't do anything unless it is connected to a charger. My old Tilt would at least flash to let you know you had a signal (and it was on). I also don't get a flash when the GPS is active like I did with the Tilt, nor WiFi. If you go to the notifications section, there are "flash light for ..." options for things like new txt msgs, new voicemail, missed call, etc., but they can't be enabled: they are all grayed out. Someone had a cab out for the old Tilt that would let you customize the behavior of the lights, but I don't think I ever tried it.
As far as the click, mine clicks too, but it doesn't bother me. I'm just glad my screen doesn't wobble (rotate) back and forth like the demo unit in the store did.
We have 4 old tilts and every single one the lights work. If the phone is on, left led blinks every 30 seconds or so indicating power or signal (not sure). Turn on wifi right led flashes (yellow?) every 30 seconds or so, and enable blue tooth and right led blinks blue.
Now with the tilt 2's
Checked my wifes phone. No blinking at all. Then we noticed a left flash when there was an unread anything, think it was text at the time. Both have solid left led for charging.
I had hard reset my phone for nothing, i guess.
Went to att this morning. He was gonna get me another one today or tomorrow. Checked my wifes phone and came to realize the leds just arent doing what i expected them to do.
The tilting back to flat and snapping sound.......
He had a demo and it was doing it to. Ok, so maybe my wifes phone is messed up cause hers aint doing it. He is gonna call me when they get another one in tomorrow and tell me what tht one does ..... off to the mall
Go to att in the mall, find another tilt 2 on display. It makes the snap sound too.
NOW i am thinking my wifes phone isnt right cause all the rest are making that noise. And if you go real real slow, it feels like it is supposed to do that. Indicates that it is closed? I DONT KNOW
To me it almost feels like the hinges are magnetic, but that sounds strange and unlikely.

Hello there... just to let you know... clicking sound is completely normal... (mine as well as 3 other I have got in my hands... all do the clicking... so not to worry... (your wife's tilt 2 not doing click... yeap... that's the one with issues not yours) about led... I have Original Tilt and now Tilt 2... just to confirm again... yes... original Tilt flashes left light about every 15 sec... while new Tilt 2 flashes only on new email/text/mms
I wonder if there is a way to remap the blinking lights via registry in order to set them like Original Tilt...
RTFM & search. there is only a green & orange LED. there is no blinking lights for bluetooth/wifi/cell phone signal. there is nothing wrong with your phone. The light only blinks for whatever you set in the Sounds & Notification settings, low battery, & charging.
as for the clicking when you go back to flat: my Tmo TP2 has done this since day 1 as did the first one i had. I just think of it as a auditory confirmation that the screen is back to where it's supposed to be.

Too bad that's grayed out so we can't set them. Mine appears to be set to only blink for five minutes. That's fine if I happen to look at the phone within five minutes of the event.

Any fix for this? Ideally I would want to see if I have missed event past the 5 minute cutoff... I wonder if there is a registry setting. any help??
TIA.
LEDs
Page 26 of my Manual says;
* The Notification LED shows a:
*Flashing green light when there are new SMS, MMS or email messages, missed calls, or reminders.
*Solid green light when the device is connected to the power adapter or a computer and the battery is fully charged.
*Solid amber light when the battery is being charged.
*Flashing amber light when the remaining battery level reaches below 10%.
Hope that helps.
I don't think the clicking noise when the screen seats in the flat position is due to plastic flex. It sounds metallic to me -- as though one of the components of the metal hinge is seating into another -- i.e. sort of a mechanical clickstop when the flat position is reached.
The screen wobble in tilted position is due to the continuously variable tilt angle feature. Doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't get so loose with wear that the screen doesn't maintain a set angle. The alternatives would be either fixed tilt positions (click stops) instead of a continuously variable tilt; or making the hinge so tight that it would be a pain to tilt it.
Like the titel says... It cuts off randomly for a secod and then continues. Tried to wipe the profiles and re-pair them, no difference.
Anyone else got the same issue on this paticular model or any other BT unit?
I've only had mine for a couple of weeks but I use it every day. I haven't noticed it cutting off. My complaint is that they have the cord with the plug going upwards (towards the earbud) instead of pointing downwards since most people would clip the BT unit on their shirt.
Other than that (oh! and the stupid volume controller - WTF?!?) I like it and it's worth the $40 I spent on Amazon since I can always replace the earbud portion of it.
I know what u meen But I like this BT unit. The battery last whole day with heavy use, and I can be discreet hiding it. Some think it is an mp3 player And the range is incredible. I Can run around in my office complex 50m away from my 1x laying on my desk.
Did some diggin about my issue. Apparently, the stream clips when you have wifi on, transmitting data at the same. unless you are using 5GHz on the network. BT are on 2,4GHz, same as most wifi.
Edit: it cant be right... Have to do some more diggin
Mines seemed ok but my WiFi was off IIRC. I'll need to check.

Hello. Recently, I opened the back cover of my note a couple of time to reattach the loose LCD ribbon in my tablet. During this time, Isomehow,noticed that the wifi was not working! Well, it was working, but I cant use my device unless im < 10 feet away from a router. However before, it was working perfectly fine, and on my other.devices, everything is fine. Is this a well known problem? Did I damge the internet card in my tablet? Also, the signal is around -60 when im close b
ut when.I walk 10 feet away it is like -90.
I would imagine you have disturbed the Wifi antenna. I haven't seen inside the tablet, but it would more than likely have at least one antenna connected to the Wifi module.
It's usually a thin wire running on the outer frame.

My tablet can not see my wifi router when it suddenly shutdown.
I don't know why my tablet never see name of my wifi router if suddenly turnoff wifi router. I used WP2 and AES & TSKIP.
And if want my tablet P600 see my rounter wifi, i must go to wifi router setting to change AES or TSKIP and then my tablet can see it. But my galaxy s4 don't have this problem. Maybe kernel of galaxy note?
Anyone else using a pebble with their M9?
I seem to randomly have issues with the connection to my phone. If I turn Bluetooth off/on it will reconnect ok.
I just got the pebble for Father's Day and have only used it with my M9.
The Pebble is awesome by the way. Big time saver for me.
I don't have any connection issues between my Pebble and my M9. It disconnects when I get out of range and usually reconnects on it's own within a minute or two of getting back in range. I have had a few random disconnects with immediate reconnects (a few seconds later), but nothing that needed intervention to get it to reconnect. My Pebble is one of the original models (it's almost two years old now) if that helps any.
Thanks. I am thinking that the App I was using (Pebble AllinOne) was to blame for some of the issues.
