Unit: F700BT v2.0

 

AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) with WM 6.1 works.

 

However, I do occasionally have issues where the unit will "freeze" for a bit.

LG shine does NOT work I tried 3 of these phones and all of them were scetchy. I have yet to do the bluetooth upgrade but figure the phones bluetooth is less then 1.0 and is too old attach to newer products. Its weird because it worked when I first got the unit but then it stopped working

 

Im going out and buying a keybo and hope it works

just got my LG keybo and it works peeeerfect! when I turn the car on it finds it right away

 

 

Doing more research the LG Shine has a problem with ts bluetooth and LG doesnt want to fix it, so it will NOT work with our units because the phone sucks lol (seriously I really liked the phone :( )

 

I have koodo (which is telus) but its gonna be the same for rogers/fido/bell/solo etc.

I have a Sprint Blackberry Curve, works MINT, connects as soon as I turn the car on, displays contacts quickly and completely, sounds great, and displays service name, how many bars of service i have, as well as battery life.

I think we need a little organization here. Should I make a new thread that only has the specific info listed, or should I clean out this thread?

I second this. I also have the LG Shine and it used to work great. Now, I can't get it to connect but once in a blue moon. Sometimes it will connect everytime I get in the car and other times I can't get it to connect at all. Sometimes when it's connected and working it will just disconnect at random. I cant figure out if it's the phone or the radio. I hope it's the phone. I am looking at getting a new phone soon. Hopefully one that will work.

F90BT and Motorola Q9C (runnning Windows Mobile 6.1) and HW100-SW330 RC3 Bluetooth Firmware

 

After many hours of troubleshoorting to get the F90BT onscreen controls and hands free bluetooth funcionality to work I thought I would post my findings here.

 

Problem:

I WAS able to pair the Q9C by simply searching for my device but I could not get the onscreen volume controls to appear and the BT would hang after ending/disconnecting a call preventing me from using voice command or make another call (until I turned BT off then back on)

 

Solution Step 1

I found that if I selected the Samsung A9xx device to connect to my phone I could get the onscreen controls to appear but hands free was not working

 

Solution Step 2

On the phone under bluetooth settings / hands-free I highlighted my Pioneer Navi paired device and pressed Connect and now the onscreen controls and hands-free are functioning as expected and the BT no longer

hangs.

I've whined about my ATT Tilt having issues on a few thrread (maybe even this one). It connected fine and transferred the phone book over but I had the 2 problems where I couldn't voice dial by name and it wouldn't ring so I didn't know when someone answered. My contacts came from my corporate Exchange email through Outlook but when I deleted them from the phone and manually entered them voice dialing worked (wasn't too bad I don't have many friends :( )

 

A couple of days ago I got a Samsung Saga (i770) from my work and it worked much better, paired fine, could hear it ring, better performance but still no voice dialing. I followed the instruction for editing the phonebook db and noticed that most of the numbers had a "*" in front of them. I removed all of them as well as the area code info for local numbers and now it works perfectly (probably would have fixed that issue with the Tilt also)!!

 

Anyway the Samsung Saga works great and it's a pretty cool phone as well.

I totally think we should. We need the first thread to have the list of phones that work and dont work. or you or I could start a new thread if the OP is not here

 

 

 

I second this. I also have the LG Shine and it used to work great. Now, I can't get it to connect but once in a blue moon. Sometimes it will connect everytime I get in the car and other times I can't get it to connect at all. Sometimes when it's connected and working it will just disconnect at random. I cant figure out if it's the phone or the radio. I hope it's the phone. I am looking at getting a new phone soon. Hopefully one that will work.

 

Sad to say thats EXACTLY what happened to my phone I would connect 3 mins later disconnect some day it would some days not a chance, and I tried 4 LG shines now!

 

I think its time for you to get a new phone :(

Samsung INNOV8 i8510

 

Phonebook transfer - works

Everything else - doesn't work :cry:

 

When I try to make a call, the connections breaks after it starts dialing.

 

Any ideas? I haven't checked yet if incoming calls work.
