Woot an easy to read post, well yesterday I made a complete list but forgot to post it up heres what I came up with, surprisingly I only found that my phone was the only one that completely didnt work (and it was not the F series fault)

 

Heres the list:

 

Work

 

Apple Iphone 3G 2.2

Blackberry 8330 Curve

Blackberry pearl

BlackBerry 8800

Blackberry 8830

HTC Fuze

HTC Kaiser

HTC Touch Pro

Motorola Razr V3C

Motorola Q

Motorola Z9

Motorola Q9C

Motorola krzr

Motorola W385

LG chocolate v2

LG Keybo

LG vx8350

LG vx8100

LG Dare

LG KF750 Secret

LG ENV

Samsung Saga (i770)

Samsung blackjack i607

Samsung i617 Blackjack 2

Sony Ericsson C905

SonyEricsson Z750a

T-mobile g1

T-Mobile sidekick LX

 

iffy

 

iphone 2G

Treo 700wx (I tried this my self and you NEED to put THIS software on it to fix it)

 

 

Dont

LG shine (phone has a bluetooth problem)

 

 

I didnt really concentrate on the phone companies them selves because usually if the companys take anything out its usually java or mp3 ringtone capability, hardly ever touch bluetooth (since its a totally different company and they dont wanna deal with legal issues)

 

 

I hope this helps

Brad, that is a great list you've compiled. May I enquire as to the source of the information you posted? Did you test all of those phones? And what functionality did you test for?

 

I would like to include them, but because not all of the features/functionality are given, I'm not sure they would really be that much of an asset in the context of this thread.

 

Thanks again for the post though!

Posted Feb 19, 2009 · 02:51 UTC#6

Well I just went through the posts that people had and if they had no trouble connecting to the unit I put it on the list. The ones Iv personally have tested are:

 

HTC Touch (which I didnt add to the list cuz im silly and forgot)

HTC touch pro

Lg Shine

Lg keybo

LG dare

Motorola krzr

Motorola razr (i believe it was a v3)

and the Treo

 

I could post all the different companies but I dont think it would make a difference (every friend that jumps in my car, I make them connect it lol I dont actually own all these phones)

 

Im kinda surprised because the way it sounded by the thread there were tons of phones that didnt work, but sadly the only phone that didnt work was mine :(

C905 UK on EUR firmware on F700BT is iffy at best. V slow - doesn't always transfer call to unit, no on screen dialogue box.

I've just changed my phone to new s60 Touch series of Nokia and F900 stopped working. Bluetooth is disconnected frequently. Sometimes it finds the phone back sometimes cannot find it at all until a reboot.

 

From what I need all the newer phones from Blackberry, Palm and Nokia seem to be problematic with F900BT so it seems we need another update from parrot to fix this. Otherwise buying anew phone does not seems to be the most logical move as some have considered.

This is the only phone I've tried that has worked flawlessly. I've had absolutely no problems. Phonebook transfer first time, no reboots. Interface is fast and responsive, dials quickly - all on screen messages visible. Connects no problem, call quality excellent.

Is it the CDMA Touch Pro (Sprint) or the GSM Fuze (ATT)? I'm thinking about getting the F90BT and I need it to work with the Sprint Touch Pro. Thanks

Just switched to a new phone;

 

Phone Make/Model: Samsung Omnia (SGH-i900)

Carrier (ATT, TUSMOBIL, Verizon, etc.): Verizon

Location: US

Pairing Compatibility: Yes

Phonebook Transfer: Yes

Make/Receive Calls: Both

I'm guessing you mean the HTC Touch HD? I've got the same issues with it. On Vodafone, latest firmware on both head unit and HD. With every outgoing call the bluetooth activity only starts at around 4 seconds into the call. I'm starting to instruct friends & family to count to 4 out loud before they start talking! I've been looking for patches on both Pioneer and Parrot sites but so far no luck. i just refuse to believe this is it?? Besides the issues on outgoing calls, incoming calls isn't a walk in the park either. Responsiveness is at best sluggish. Anyone who can give me a solution, i'm all ears!!

 

For the record:

Phone Make/Model: HTC Touch HD (T8282)

Carrier (ATT, TUSMOBIL, Verizon, etc.): Vodafone NL

Location: Netherlands

Pairing Compatibility: Yes

Phonebook Transfer: Yes

Make/Receive Calls: Both but with bugs as described above

Voice Dialing: Name/Number/Both ; Not tried yet

SMS Alert: Not tried yet

Posted Mar 04, 2009 · 06:40 UTC#17

yes I mean the HTC Touch HD (T8282), it's strange isn't it ?

my actually pocket is a Qtek (HTC) 9090 with WM5, bluetooth 1.2 and works perfectly. my wife's phone is a Nokia with 2.0 bluetooth and also works, why the pocket that I want so much, doesn't, dam.

is it so dificult to bring the sound of the outgoing call ?

or this kind of problem apens because the pocket are blocked to the phone operator, and with that procedure some cab could be lost or modified. I don't know, but if so, it's a big irresponsible, because we are not talking about cheap equipments.

does anyone else in the forum have the same equipment HTC touch HD working perfectly ?

verizon

 

LG VX8550 works.

Posted Mar 06, 2009 · 03:39 UTC#19

Verizon Wireless

Motorola Q9C

 

initially there were many problems the phone would connect to BT but transfer contacts wouldn't work, recent calls wouldn't transfer or call history ect... also when you were in a call and hung up the BT would stay connected like you were in a call even if you end the call by the navi unit or by the call phone only way to disconect was either to reboot or disconnect from BT using your phone...I played with phone for hours searched couldn't find anything

 

I finally found another site that allows you to change the registry on the motorola Q to allow BT connection to work properly...

 

It finally works perfectly transferred all contacts, call history ect and also works great with BT and actually disconnects calls properly so I can hear my music

 

if anyone needs help with this i'd be more then happy to assist you

Despite other reports, the F700BT with 2.0 firmware transfers my Centro phonebook. It does have one bug. It shows contacts with multiple phone numbers, but lists each as "general" so you can't voice dial the specific one. For instance, if I say "Call Bob" it will say multiple numbers, show both on the screen, and I touch the one I want. Because they're both "general" I cannot just say "Call Bob General". Very minor, it doesn't get in the way.
