Has anyone tried using the XDA IIs with the Parrot CK3100 or any Parrot bluetooth car kits yet.

I am wondering if the new hands free profile is working well and what are the car kits limitations with the new XDA IIs.

I currently own an XDA II and the Parrot CK3100 is pretty limited with it due to the XDA II only supporting headset profile.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Nighthawk:
What features aren't working when using the XDA II? I tested XDA II and 3100 and it worked fine, including voice dialling (this is part of Parrot kit).

I then tried the PDA2K, it bonded fine. BUT... It didn't show my PDA2K's name, when bonded, on the display. I ran outta time at this point, only thing I got to do was receive a call, which worked.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] roycruse:
My wife has a Sony Erricson T610

When I use this phone with my CK3100 the features are really good.

Battery and signal strength are displayed on the CK3100 display.

The CK3100 uploads a menu onto the T610 which gives access to all the settings from the phone.

Etc Etc Etc... infact all the advanced functions that this great car kit has with most other phones just arnt supported with XDA II.

Add to that the loud buzzing noise that you get intermittently when dialing out as the XDA II Bluetooth connects and also the fact that when you press the answer button it takes 2 or 3 seconds to actually pick up the call. And if you get impatient and press the answer button again it hangs up the call.

Its just bad... very bad... It is the worst thing about the XDA II.

I have ordered my XDA IIs now and was simply wondering whether I was in for more of the same fun when it arrives...

[HTC Droid DNA] petrivka:
Hi all,

I love my DNA (stock) and I haven't had any issues until the past couple of weeks, when I noticed that my phone started draining battery much more quickly than normal without me changing my usage habits. I'm consistently draining about 10% per hour even when I just pull it out of my pocket every hour or so to check notifications. I've also noticed sluggish behavior as well (lag when unlocking especially).

I got the Wakelock Detector app to see what was causing me issues, but I'm pretty new to it--I'm not sure what is normal and what is a problem. I've disabled a lot of my location services as a result, but that doesn't seem to have solved anything as of yet, which is why I'm posting.

I'm attaching a few screenshots from WLD so you can see what I've got going on. Android System looks awful, but I don't want to disable backup (I like having my app choices and such saved, and don't want to lose them). What should I really chase after to get this draining issue solved?

[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
There's a known issue with Google services causing drain, its been mentioned in a few places around here, it started with an update a little while ago. You can try removing updates if it let's you, may help, or just have to wait out an update to correct it. I think for now disabling all of the location stuff helps.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - ReVolt
[HTC Droid DNA] Xpiatio:
you could also try the newly released Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru.
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
If you can I would change kernels. crpalmer's kernel fixed my wakelock issues. I had a maps issue related to location services and disabled maps in Titanium Backup and then later I had wakelock issues that I couldn't pin down but switching to crpalmer's kernel fixed it for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] petrivka:
This app looks great! I'll certainly give it a try. I used JuiceDefender on my old Droid Charge and it helped (back in 2011), but I don't think the app is maintained any more.

I'll let you know if it helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
I have a theory, which may be wrong, is that apps set up all sorts of events that the system tracks and acts upon. As a result, when tracking CPU usage and wake locks, it is often hard to find the culprit behind most of the activity because it registers under system processes rather than directly from the offending app.

So the solution may be to do a factory reset (which is painful) or just freeze some apps to see what difference it makes.
[HTC Droid DNA] 123421342:
That itself causes wakelocks and is 90% placebo effect.
[HTC Droid DNA] rndchef:
Having same issue and it is definitely Google. I use Google Maps a lot so disabling location renders it useless. Bad deal since its killing my battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] petrivka:
If so, this is the best placebo effect ever. Once BatteryGuru trained for 2 days, my battery life has improved dramatically, back to where it used to be (if not better). My phone now can enter deep sleep for longer than 2 minutes over a 10 hour period.

I did see that BatteryGuru was the cause of additional wakelocks, but my real cause for concern was the lack of deep sleep.

I can now make it through a 16 hour day without getting range anxiety. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Ok... Just about every app causes wakelokcs, big whoop.

Yep, getting an extra couple of hours of battery life due to that app is definitely placebo.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
It isn't mentioned in this thread and is a really important recent development. The new play store solves the excessive drains that google play services was having. I've seen mentioned in a few posts above some issues that will be solved by installing the new play store.

The problem I had with battery guru was that it required turning location services on. Since I normally don't run location services unless I need them, having to enable them for the battery savings app to run kind of negates the purpose of the app. It would be nice to hack it up and delete the business that requires location services.

For the poster above who wasn't getting deep sleep, I would try removing battery guru, solve the deep sleep problem and then reinstall battery guru, it might make your battery life even mo betta.

Hello everyone,

I was about to buy the htc one, but they are out of stock atm.

so went home watch some reviews and stumble across this video

He mentions a lot of build quality problems.

Can people with the phone confirm this?

Screen problem with light coming from the edge? dust on screen because of that? Sounds like a big problem, hope its just his model.

Also input lags, is he exaggerating things ? or can it be fixed by a buildprop command?

Is it possible to return the phone if there is any gap between the plastic layer and the alu ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have seen 4 HTC Ones. 2 with gaps and 2 without. You can return them and just state that is has build defect. Some stores will let you exchange it once and some twice but they will not keep opening boxes until you find a perfect one. The best advice I can give you is to open it in the store with a sales assistant present so they can see that it has a defect. And before you hand over your money be sure to ask if you can return it if there's a defect once they say okay for returning with defects, then open it in front of them.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Yes there are manufacture default. Gaps in casing, and screen that isnt glued on properly and doesnt flush with the casing.

Dust under the screen has been a problem with some phones by HTC for years.. was a common problem as far back as Nexus One. That HTC havent plugged the problem yet is beyond me. I think it will be less problematic with the one because alu case is sturdy and does not bend which caused screen sealing to crack on plastic.casings.

How about we start a thread to document people selling fake Spigen cases

I bought a Slim Armor case from eBay here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161020953613?

After having some issues with it I did some research and determined it was a fake based on the following:

It did not arrive in original packaging

It did not include the jellybean button stickers

It included a screen protector (the original case packaging does not)

The font on the case and shape of volume and power button differs from the original

Fit of the phone was tighter than as described in reviews of real cases

Finally, and most importantly, the Spigen serial number tag to verify authenticity was not included

I will upload pictures later today.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Guest:
mate,

reading through your post (although don't consider me an expert on this) it appears that you have the same problems i had before. bottomline? i discovered that windows xp service pack 2 screws up installation of bluetooth software. took me ages to figure this out but what i did was uninstall sp2 and went for sp1 instead. i've read several posts here and in other sites that sp2 doesn't really do well for bt apps...not sure if this is the same for the other chaps but it sure was for me. anyway; i uninstalled all bt software, uninstalled sp2; installed sp1 (reboot, etc), and from there proceeded with reinstalling my bt and activesync apps. from there i followed the guide given in geek zone and presto bt activesync.

the items you described in 1-6 definitely remind me of the sp2 trouble i had.

hope that helps.

cheers mate
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
I found that if I use the cradle to link to activesync this will create the partnership, then use the bluetooth next time and it will work, it seems you cannot get an original partnership over bluetooth.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jdee246:
I don't think its SP2 itself thats the problem. Its the Microsoft bt stack built into SP2.

You can actually run SP2 and the Widcomm bt stack. If you install Widcomm before SP2, then it won't install the Microsoft bt stack. I had the same problem and this resolved it.

The Microsoft bt stack in SP2 is Microsoft's first attempt at bluetooth. Looks like they still have work to do.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Marc MD:
Bluetooth activesync is easy IF YOUR NOT in Windows XP SP2!!! best thing to do is to downgrade to SP1.. unfortunately for me im stuck with SP2 in my desktop... but upon discovering this problem i never upgraded my laptop to SP2.. i left it with SP1 nd everything works in harmony...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Marc MD:
MORAL LESSON OF THE STORY: NEVER UPDATE TO XP-SP2 if your using bluetooth activesync. :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fruitloaf:
I've had no problems syncing over BT with SP1, SP2 MS stack and widcomm.

Here's how.

First of all delete any pairings on both PC and XDA.

Sync over USB then on the computer use connection settings to select the correct BT com port.

On the XDA goto Settings->System->Bluetooth->Start

Now repair your device and select ok till you get back to today screen

Goto activesync and then tools->sync over bt

Always has worked for me. If you're still having problems its quite possible that you haven't got the right ports setup on the PC.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Marc MD:
YUP! it's all about the COM ports... SP2 gives out extremely high COM ports that activesync doesnt recognize...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jdee246:
Is your PC using...

1. SP2 + MS bluetoooth stack

2. SP2 + Widcomm bluetooth stack

I've followed the method laid out by fruitloaf many times, and only the 2nd combination works for me.

You might also want to consider upgrading from rom 1.03 if you can.

JD
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jdee246:
Fruitloaf, is yours an original Orange machine? I've heard this works with SP2 + MS stack, but the O2 Xda II doesn't.

JD
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] NeilM:
I had this problem constantly with my XDA II and a Toshiba Laptop. All routes of advice came to nought.

The answer for me was to install Pocket Bluetooth Tools, a BT connection manager which has a specific Activesync Profile. Using this has enabled me to use BT A/S with my Win XP Tablet SP2 PC without problems. You have to initiate the Activesync process from the XDA though.

Once you have installed BT Tools, and created an A/S profile using the cradle, go back to the XDA and delete all existing BT Pairings. Then go through the "Bluetooth / Paired Devices/ New routine again. After finding your PC, continuing will give a new Dialogue box with available pairing options. Select "Activesync" and finish. Do a soft reset.

From there, go to Start/Activesync, then tap Tools/Connect via Bluetooth and all should work.

I recommend using PBT Tols version 1.0.1.2 not the newer version, as the later version causes some power management problems with the XDA II.

bluetooth virtual com port too high for activesync

I have a Belkin F8T001 v2 BT USB dongle. BT was working under win xp sp2 and could transfer file etc from PC to XDA IIs and back.

However I tried setting up a BT active sync connection and had the problem that the virtual com port picked by the belkin supplied widcomm BT driver was too high for activesync, it was com20. I followed this thread but could not uninstall the driver and use the driver from SP2 as it doesn't seem to support my belkin USB BT dongle. So I had to go back to the driver supplied by Belkin. I thought I was stuffed until I came across a post that sorted the problem, I'm afraid I dont have it to hand to give author the credit. But here is what he/she said to do.....

1. Disable bluetooth in device manager and remove the high numbered com port from device manager.

2. Then use regedit to change

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\COM name arbiter"

I followed the instructions and changed the first 3 entries in theComDB field to be "0f".

3. Enable Bluetooth in device manager

4. Use bluetooth settings -> local servies to add a new COM port, then set it to autostart in the profiles section.

This time it came up as com5, and bingo activesync could find it and I was off....

Hope this helps others with this problem, usual disclaiamer when fiddling with registry back it up and dont blame me if it doesn't work or your equipment goes up in smoke :-)

Good luck, Wayne
