I have bought the JVC KD-R901 and am pleased with it.

Pairing and streaming works seamlessly. You don't get track names but that is the phone's fault, not the HU as it doesn't support it. I mainly listen to audiobooks or podcasts anyway so its not much of an issue.

Getting the phone book across was a bit more of a pain though. It would not do the auto sync so I had to do the following.

Using GMail contacts on the PC I selected all and exported as a VCF file. This created a single file onto the computer. I transferred this via dropbox to the root of the SD card on the phone.

Next I installed BlueX (Bluetooth file share) app onto the phone. I put the JVC Stereo into manual phonepook transfer mode and then initiated the transfer.

On the phone I ran BlueX and selected the VCF file with a long press and selected send via bluetooth. The next screen showed the stereo as JVC Unit (unclassified) and once selected the phonebook transferred in a matter of seconds.

I can now seen the listing in the phone. The only downside is new entries will need to be done manually, but given the whole phonebook can be exported and uploaded in about 5 minutes I am not too worried about that.

Hopefully this may be of use to others.

I have the Alpine CDE-103BT.

The phonebook synced correctly and calls can be made and received fine (both when I had the stock UK T-Mobile ROM and now with the Modaco Froyo ROM). Only thing that still won't work properly is voice dialling.

It has a wired mic, and iPod support is through a cable on the back of the unit. It also has front USB and line-in sockets, though I've never used them for music as I always have my iPod with me.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Bryan.

If you are on a budget like I was and don't mind something that works well but doesn't offer much for features, the Sony BT2800 isn't a bad purchase. I got it at some electronics website for $135 with free shipping, mounting kit and wire harness. Phone calls sound good, the caller can hear me well, music streamed sounds good and it's easy to setup/use. Display doesn't show caller ID (at least not on my TP2 and Desire), and no phonebook support. Also, the desire does not support voice activation through it (my tp2 it worked great) so not having phone book support is inconvenient but this is the Desires fault, not the radios. Overall, it does what I need it to and it was not expensive. A good bluetooth headset sells for about the same at retail.

Pioneer DEH-600BT

I do car audio installs on the side of my actual job and most of the peoples are I install stuff, are happy that I told them to go with Pioneer, because of the sound quality and functionality for price. iv had people install Sony and other brands and pioneer is unmatched right below them to me is Alpine but personally i think the products are over priced

if you have any other questions feel free to PM me

I'm very happy with my Parrot MKi9100 as well.

Jvc is a pile of %%#% my avx44 which cost £400 broke just a month out of warranty and they refused to fix it.
[Desire Accessories] jjkshaughnessy:
pioneer definately. i use one with my desire via bluetooth for calls and music and has ipod wired up to glove box. downloads phonebook from phone and show ipod music the same way it is set up on ipod
[Desire Accessories] ThePanama:
Which unit did you get?
[Desire Accessories] itsy:
I've got a Kenwood BT-60U and it works quite nicely now.

Adressbook sync works, although there some strange entries in the HU and you can not choose a letter to begin you search with (well, you can but it always starts at A).

With 2.1 (or a Sense rom - I'm not sure if 2.2 or a AOSP rom made the difference) I always had connection losses.

I use it only to have a hands free car kit and for that purpose it works well enough - the sound quality is okay and its nicely integrated with e.g. USB playback (basically I can charge my Desire & listen to music from SD while having BT handsfree on :D)
[Desire Accessories] Touch Graphite:
Parrot Mki9000 here, its a deadly combination with upgradable software - unlike HUs.

Plus a wireless remote which I can mount anywhere and remove for security.
[Desire Accessories] jjkshaughnessy:
mine was the older deh 500bt unit. also has 3 separate outputs so upgrading speaker equipment is a doddle.
[Desire Accessories] Douzeper:
On a budget?

Wharfedale ICS182

£49.99 from Argos, I got mine for £32 of ebay!

Bluetooth hands free, USB, SD Card, CD Player, its great and works brilliantly with the Desire, sound quality is great and better than the JVC unit I took out. Hands free works great and no one has a problem hearing me even if I talk low.
[Desire Accessories] jjkshaughnessy:
Just checked mine agin and realised i gave you the wrong model number mine is the pioneer deh p800bt. excellent bit of kit.
[Desire Accessories] pnyg:
I have a Pioneer DEH-P75BT, but can not get it to connect my Desire automatically, can anyone help?

pnyg
[Desire Accessories] jjkshaughnessy:
if you used to have another phone connected disconnect it and clear the phone book memory. then go through the reconnection process. after this ensure that automatic connection is turned on on the head unit. turn car off and blutetooth on the phone on. then turn the car back on with the stereo. leave for a few seconds and the switch to the phone setting on stereo. if still not connected leave for about a minute to see if it works.

i had to try a few times but after it connected once automatically it worked perfectly. also you could try setting it all ready for the automatic connection and then making a call. i find this helps if music streaming doesnt connect. just hit play and then all of a sudden bluetooth kicks in.
[HD2 General] rawmondwlesmana:
I'm in Jakarta - Indonesia.

My car kit CU S400 has arrived, in navi panel mode can we use another program beside co pilot for navigation, how to choose or change the default program for navigation(co pilot). I'm still using original rom.

I've ask to support center and it's been 36 hours and still no answer to my question.

hope someone can help me.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alou2:
Hi,

I tried flashing the brand new CyanogenMod 5 with Eclair for G1, and I seem to be in "serious" trouble now.

Before flashing:

I had already installed DangerSPL for a few months with no issue

Had the latest radio

Was happily running SuperD1.9.3 with WG Kernel and JIT enabled

Made a Nandroid backup just in case I wished to go back

Wiped Dalvik-cache and Data/Cache to avoid boot loops

All of this with Cyan's Recovery 1.4.

After flashing the ROM and the Gapps, my phone restarted and got stuck on the G1 screen (no boot screen) for, maybe 15 to 30 minutes, which seemed a bit long for me... I finally decided to remove the battery, went back to recovery and made a Nand restore.

But after the restore, rebooting had the same effect : stuck on G1 screen.

I tried flashing several custom roms with no luck (all stuck on G1 screen). :eek:

I finally decided to flash the official ADP1.6 ROM from HTC (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) which installed fine (and updated the radio by the way), and it finally booted on stock Donut.

I tried then to reinstall custom roms but get stuck on G1 screen everytime I try... and flashing Amon_RA's recovery won't work (i keep booting on the stock recovery). But as a workaround, I can use fastboot to boot into Amon_Ra's recovery.

The questions now are :

did I lose root access, thus preventing from installing custom ROMs ?

if so, is it possible to downgrade while being under DangerSPL ? Won't it brick the phone ? :confused:

Is there anybody else who had the same problem with upgrading to Cyan's 5 ?

I really need to get custom roms back, stock sucks on G1... but there is no way i can afford bricking my phone.

Thanks for help guys!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
As long you can get to your custom recovery menu, you still have root access.

Keep the Danger SPL, not worth changing it and the Danger SPL has fastboot also.

It takes a while to boot into a newly flashed ROM so just wait 5-15 min.

Do these steps:

1)Do a FULL WIPE of the phone (data, dalvik-cache, ext, battery stats, and rotation ****You won't have some of these options with Cyanogen's recovery. Just wipe what you can****)

2)Repair the ext partition

3)Flash CyanogenMod 5.0.7-DS-Test 1 (this is the g1/mt3g version)

4)Without wiping or rebooting, flash the gapps .zip file

5)Reboot and set up the ROM

6)Flash the latest Amon_RA recovery for your device. Cyanogen uses Amon-RA's recovery now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
1. Upgrade your recovery....cyanogen stopped working on his a while ago, upgrade to Amon_RA's recovery.

2. You only have to wipe data/dalvik, and maybe sd-ext. you do NOT have to wipe battery stats or rotation EVER.

3. Flash CM Rom

4. Flash gapps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alou2:
Unfortunately, exact same thing. :(

Stuck on G1 screen.

Reverted back again to adp 1.6

Any other suggestions ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
Give us your spl (hboot) and radio. Go into fastboot and type exactly what you see.

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Good ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
Try upgrading your radio? You shouldn't HAVE to, but it might work.

Are you on Amon_RA's recovery now?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alou2:
I'll try upgrading radio, but it's weird I can't switch back to other custom donut builds...

I've used Amon-RA's recovery to wipe and install the ROM this time.

For some odd reason though, it seems i can't "install" Amon_RA recovery (it seems to switch back to stock recovery), but just boot it through fastboot...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
make sure you're flashing the right recovery. dream still has two options. just like mytouch has H or G.

the one with "R" on the end of it is for rogers, one without it is for USA ones.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
What files are you flashing? It sounds like you're flashing an old 1.6 base that has a recovery image included. Are you flashing the DRC83 Defanged as a base?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alou2:
OK so I tried to take a fresh start on this.

I installed Amon_RA's 1.6.2 as recovery (not the Roger's one, I'm in France and the US tools always worked)

did a nandroid backup to stop reinstalling everything over again each time I want to make a phone call... :D

used it to repartition the SD (FAT / EXT2 / SWAP), thus formatting everything

wiped everything (except battery and orientation)

Flashed DRC83 Defranged

Without rebooting flashed CM5.0.7-t1

Without rebooting flashed Gapps

And it still gets stuck on the first boot screen (left it for about 20mn on it)...

Then I tried installing DRC83 defranged and it still gets stuck on the damned boot screen !!! :mad:

Through adb I can get to shell while on recovery, but the su command prints out :

/sbin/sh: su: not found

Is it normal ?

I can't find the /proc/last_kmsg file (just /proc/kmsg). Is there any log file that could help here ?

I'm going to nand back to stock 1.6, hoping it will start without having to flash the radio+recovery one again...

I noticed something weird when i nand back to my pre-CM5 WG-SuperD backup :

when it boots, it gets to the first boot screen and if USB is connected, i get a "fastboot usb" in a red box on top left of the screen. :confused:

To sum up :

phone's definitely not bricked, but won't run any custom rom anymore, but it still permits custom recovery installation/boot.

Something must have been broken/deleted somewhere.

Still asking the (dumb?) question : do I still have root, since su doesn't works (even using terminal server) ?

By the way, I really appreciate you guys taking time to read and answer my posts. Really ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangeagent:
I run into the same issue, I was upgrading from the latest cm 1.6 and after trying a few different things, after wiping with alt+w, I reinstalled danger-spl then installed the cm update, then the google apps; after doing this, it worked fine. BTW, it took about 15 mins to boot up though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
There is your problem. DO NOT FLASH THE DRC83 BASE!!!

Just repartition your sdcard (if you want to), upgrade to ext3 or ext4, then follow the last 2 steps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alou2:
Hi UberMario,

I just reinstalled DangerSPL using Amon_ra's recovery, and then directly flashed CM5 + Gapps (no reboot inbetween).

It's been stuck on the 1st splash screen for 30 minutes now...

I'm letting it for another 30mn (although I think it's useless) and will eventually revert back to stock 1.6... again...

I just don't get what's wrong...

I'm going to try redownloading the archives in case they would've been corrupted, but being unable to install anything else than an official htc firmware seems like a symptom to me... isn't it ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studiozeroseven:
I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but flash Gapps first then flash CM5 then reboot and everything should work...

or

You might want to check and make sure your MD5 is correct too..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
why would you flash gapps first? you have to flash it on top of cm5.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alou2:
Yeah... quite sure this won't help.

What could prevent the phone from booting custom firmwares but still allowing to install them ? (and finally I can still run the su command through adb, and get root access, but apps can't get root...)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladerunner0427:
I rooted my G1 for the first time. I flashed CM 5.0.7 then GApps (no reboot in between). When the phone booted, none of the Google Apps were on the phone. Went back to recovery and did a wipe and flashed GApps then CM (no reboot) and everything installed correctly. Someone said to flash CM first then GApps, but that didn't work for me. Weird.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] markthompson32:
Hi, flashed many many times but today when trying to flash the latest NRG ROM when I go into bootloader I am getting problems.

First of all when I go into bootloader it quickly flashes a message saying no image file or something.

Then HSPL 1.56 Olinex it doesnt show USB when I connect via USB just sticks at serial.

When connected to PC the PC just says USB device not recognized.

So I am unable to flash, I am at a loss to what to do???

I have tried different PCs, different cables, all have the same problem.

The phone boots into ROM OK and works fine, and then when I connect via USB it activesyncs fine. I really dont understand this, can anyone help?? PLeeaase as I want the new ROMs :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tatung70:
When I type, I never cap the letter I so it stays lower case. With the original Tilt, it woudl change from lower to upper.

Is there a way to do this on the Tilt 2?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I believe in your text message settings you can select for the auto correction to take place. Open up your on screen keyboard, click the little arrow next to the icon and then select the "Text input settings". Once there select any settings you wish to use.

BTW, I've never tested so I'm not sure if it corrects "i" to "I".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Or you could just type properly... there's that route too :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
I've been playing with ROMS again. I've sampled most of the 2.1 based stuff and today I installed Gumbo 1.5 Overclocked, thanks to toast's Kernel to 767 mhz.

Instructions are here http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/10138-gumbo-1-5c-overclock.html

This is speedy and very stable! Think I'll stay on this until 2.1 gets official released and the magic gets worked on it. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I could never to go back to 1.5 (running Beezy 4 currently) after having 2.1 on my phone. I have no stability issues or speed concerns with this rom. Actually, that's a lie, I do. The Bluetooth on this sucks big time. Gumbo 1.5C will pair and work flawlessly with my Pioneer Avic D3 car stereo but I have yet to find a 2.1 rom that will. That is still not enough of a bugger to get me to go backwards though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pimix2009:
Does everything works in this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
yeah it does

[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
Well I just thought folks who were still on Gumbo and didn't want to switch to 2.1 yet would appreciate the info.

Or, every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
I was liking the idea of the overclocked 1.5 but what stopped me was no jit support for it. So back to 2.1. You are right though. It is fast. Then again so is 1.6 donut.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] funcrusher:
I'm too settled in to try it, but thanks for the info.

Sounds cool.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kelvala:
Like O..M..G...wipe me with a ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
I've actually been thinking VERY seriously lately about going back to Gumbo 1.5c. This was the fastest and most stable ROM I ever ran. I simply couldn't resist trying out 2.1, and I got reeled in by it.

I absolutely love the new features that 2.1 brings to the table, but honestly, there are still a lot of bugs. Every 2.1 ROM I've run starts out pretty good, but after a few days, they all seem to slow down a lot. I have even run some overclocked 2.1 ROMs, and I still feel they are too slow for comfortable use.

I firmly believe that the Sprint 2.1 RUU leak is nowhere near final code. It's just way too slow to being anything that Sprint would be ready to put on tens of thousands of customer's phones. I think when we see the final Sprint release, there will most likely be a drastic uptick in speeds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
Thank you. This is my opinion exactly. What the DEVS have shown us with the work done on the 2.1 ROMS is just how awesome they will be once we get the official 2.1 release and the Kernel Source.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] funcrusher:
I may nandroid back to 1.5c this weekend and check it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
Seriously? DONT encourage him.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urushiol:
I gave this a try with a pancake 0.1(based on gumbo 1.5c) i had. I have really been impressed. I have ran almost every 2.1 rom we have, darchdroid, damagecontrol, fresh, aloysius, fresh toast, ic3rom, sushi, and a few more im sure. I've been very impressed with the developers work, and I know they are working with an unofficial RUU. I share the opinion of an above poster, than I handle 2.1 for a few days, I love the new features, and it excites me when a new rom comes out, to see what new things the devs have incorporated, but i will probably stay with 1.5 until we get the source code/official update.

With that being said, this overclock patch on pancake 0.1 has been rock stable for me for 3 days now. Just today i flashed to the 1.5c overclock with BFS, and have been running it for about 12 hours, a bit faster. Absolutely no problems yet.

I couldn't be happier!

:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
thanx guys. im glad everyones enjoying OC and BFS. good to see it reviving more then just the .27 eclair builds. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
the only thing I couldn't give up is google nav
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
i thought about going back too, but these devs have spoiled me, i do still have the audio issues with almost all the leak roms even after the audio fix, i guess i just have that lucky phone:confused:

Sometimes old and busted is ok huh?:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
WOW I flashed this over fresh 1.1 (its what I had a nandroid of) and platyed with it fior a bit and it seriously made me concider going back to a 1.5 build the only problem I have is that I have found a lot of apps that are 2.1 only that I use on a daily basis. but the speed was really nice it made everything nice and smooth.

I thought i had it working with BFS at first, but after another day of running it, the sms and receiving calls works only intermittently.

1.5c with just overclock is flawless though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] house1999:
I flashed the BFS version and could not receive SMS. Re-flashed with the non-BFS version and seems to be working again. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Yea. Bfs is just an experiment right now. I don't think id recommend running it long term untill I can get a chance to get it stable. Might be as simple as removing the custom lowmemkiller completely. i won't have time to play with it till I'm home from work tonight though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wcgbmd:
Thanks toast. My phone is blazing right now but I have no ext3 or 4! :'( Its a sacrifice I'm willing to make but it would speed things up even more.

As for the Gumbo 1.5c rom my phone sometimes freezes with it, never had that problem and I don't know if its related to OCing but its the same temp when its not oc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] robchaos:
Hmmm. I haven't had any freezing. What are you doing when it happens?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
i havent had a chance to downgrade to 1.5 yet. but if i comment out the Gumbo.sh with the BFS, am i still looking at some random instabilty?

I don't know I left the bfs version alone and just installed stable. btw the overclock patch works perfectly with the 1.5 version of Pancake. I am using it now instead of Gumbo.

[HD2 General] darkphantom:
Hello TMO-US HD2 users.

I've had the phone for about 1 week now, and have customized it quite a bit, however, looking down the road and also looking at the support for the OS, I have had several doubts about keeping the phone.

I look at the Nexus One with android, and see the support is ridiculous for it, there is a future.

However, for our HD2's running WM6.5.x, won't see WM7 and if we do, it will be restricted like Apple's OS, which I certainly do not want.

I want to ask you guys what you would do in my situation.

I have 7 days left to return the phone to tmobile, and either get the Nokia N900 or the Nexus One. (Leaning more to Nexus one since the android support is HUGE)

Majority of the reason is the intermittent 3G service and future is looking bleak for the HD2.

Anyone else in my shoes, thoughts?
