donnycouchpotato Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'm starting this thread cause there seems to be an awefull lot of phones that do not work properly with the F Series. Mine specifically is a Verizon Treo 700WX, the blue tooth is intermitant at best, sometimes it doesn't recognize the phone at all, even when I manually try to reconnect it comes up no phones are near. My system came already from the manufaturer upgraded with 2.0. If you have a phone that works or doesn't work, please post the carrier, the phone model, and whether it works perfectly, works intermitantly, or doesnt work at all, also note wheterh you are upgraded to 2.0 or not. This is not a thread for answers on correcting the problem, but merely to identify those phones that work and don't work. Thanks, Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnycouchpotato Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 don't just look, if you're here its a good bet that you have the F series system and a blue tooth phone, so let your fellow users know if your phone does or doesn't the phone work with the F Series?

Gutta624 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Good to go. I have gotten a couple of call failed instances since my install 2 days ago but for the most part its great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackh8552 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 got a blackberry pearl, motorol krzr, and a choclate v2 that all work fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snakeyes Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 F90BT LG ENV works perfect. Connects in seconds and no issues with the 90 or 700 series I had originally. This phone actually connects to the truck in the garage while upstairs charging at the far end of the house! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joegr Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Motorola W385 and F90BT with no problems, other than it's use (or use of anything) is a little iffy for a few minutes after each boot up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hkgms3 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 F90BT SonyEricsson Z750a. Works great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maverickster Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 BlackBerry 8800 (AT&T) and Motorola Razr V3C (Verizon) both work great. Although, I was careful with firmware updates on the Razr to maintain BT OBEX support; if you weren't as cautious, you may have problems since Verizon removed OBEX supports in one of the intermediary firmware updates; the key was to skip the one that removed it. --Mav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Version 2.0 hacked with iphone 3G 2.2 also hacked. All features work well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cranbers Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think there should be a disclaimer that says don't blame your phone or the unit if your not able to read, follow directions or know how to troubleshoot. Iphone 3g, works fine, except very low voice pickup on the bluetooth mic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iphone 3g, works fine, except very low voice pickup on the bluetooth mic. My 3G works fine as well (I have an F90), but the voice dial is a bit iffy. I can't say "Call [insert name here]." I can only voice dial by using the actual phone number, i.e. "Call 555-555-1342." Something I'm missing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Example if it says mom and there are 3 numbers, mobile, home work. YOu need to say call, mom, work. On the other hand if its John smith, and tis listed as smith, john, you need to say that. first name last name can be reversed wit the iphone based on the contact sort settings, you have to set this before you transfer. Also if you add or modify those contacts in your phone, you have to retransfer them from scratch, they don't update via the phone on its own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The contacts are all there, and I can dial them through the contacts menu. But when I try to use voice dial to call a contact, all the voice on the other end ever says is something about not being able to find any recent calls. If I just voice dial a number, it works fine, so it's not a problem with the mic or anything. It's just sort of weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScudRunner Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 On a related note, for those with iPhones, when you receive a call does the AVIC tell you which contact it's from or just show you the incoming number? All I get is the incoming number, even if it is associated with a contact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
