[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igalan:
I feel your pain, I have a Renault Grand Scenic III (purchased last December) and the hands-free is unreliable, but music streaming (A2DP) is even worse as most often than not it will fail to connect.

I have to say that the hands-free works fine most of the times (for the phone part, not for music), but some days it will refuse to work no matter what. Since it isn't working much better with my wife's Nokia (BTW, which I had to do a firmware update or else it went into a permanent reboot loop when connected to the car-kit), I assume the problem lies on the car, not on the phone. I have yet to see if my Hero, which has been recently updated to Android 2.1, behaves any better. A firmware update on the Bluetooth car-kit seems a better approach, but I'm unaware if one exists since after some digging it seems my car doesn't use the OEM Parrot kit that other earlier models carried.

Hi,

I've just come across your post. Did the situation improve ?

I'd just point out that for me it comes from the Android system : I own a Renault Mégane 3 and was able to fully use the bluetooth system with my HTC HD2 (Windows Mobile 6.5). Now, I've just installed Android 2.2 on it and I encounter a similar behavior... and the car can't connect to the phone directory either...

Looks like I'll boot back on Windows Mobile when driving...

Regards,

Stéphane

My Hero with the official 2.1 ROM is now 100% reliable. The Nexus One with Froyo isn't, A2DP is still hit & miss.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-e-a-d:
Well... I'm getting the same but not with Renault ones.

I have LiquidAUX on my car and to have both phone and a2dp synced, I have to restart phone BT and LiquidAUX every time I go into car. And most of the times I can only have 1 connection each time, or phone is on and a2dp is off or a2dp is on and phone is off. It's really annoying since I had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and it used to work with no problems... :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimdv:
Hello, I've the same issue with my new Renault and Nexus LG. The phone pairs with the carkit and connects the first time without issues and works like fine. Once someone calls, the connection is terrible or lost! I checked the phone compatibility list at Reanoult and the NEXUS LG is on that list. So it should work. Updated R-link2, same issue. I went to the Renault garage and they told me that this is a bug in the Renault software, they can't do anything about it. Can't believe this, there should be a solution or fix.

I was on Ebay checking out Streaks when I found this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170511016796&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

It had the T-Mobile 3G Bands Listed so I contacted the seller and he said that he can confirm it will work with T-Mobile USA 3G and Not ATT.

This is great news for T-Mobile USA Customers, I only wish I had the funds to get it right now.

Here is a copy of the message on EBay...

Dear splitpersona21,

Yes it works on TMO (US). I tested with a TMO SIM.

It doesnt work with ATT 3G as the bands are not

covered.

[Streak 5 General] jeeper251:
Now THAT is interesting. You might've just made my day!

Although the bands listed do work on AT&T too. Hmmm....
[Streak 5 General] FateZero:
Yeah I saw that in the listing and thats why I asked so I could make sure for T-Mobile USA
[Streak 5 General] ap3604:
This eBay seller is 100% lying by saying this thing works on T-mobiles 1700 3g band :mad:

Plus this guy only has 21 eBay sales and you want to purchase a $625 item from him? That is just asking for trouble...

http://www.o2.co.uk/dellstreak/dellstreakspec <-- Look at the network bands on the spec sheet (ONLY 900/2100 aka Att 3g)

There is no T-mobile 1700 band 3g version yet...

http://www.dinke.net/blog/en/2009/11/10/htc-hero-usb-tether-on-mac-os-x/

I already read a lot tutorials and many ways to make usb tether on mac OSX, like this one up there. But due that we are on middle of 2010 and all the posts are from the last year, I imagine if there is a recent and more efficient way to do it.

The PDANet is a great app, but is paid and faulty. I leave my MCA download something and when I come back it is disconnected.

So MAC users and Hero owners, how do you do it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] approx459below:
sorry for digging up this ancient thread, but i'd really like to know.

at the moment i'm using a setup in which i pass the android through to a fedora-vm who builds a nice little bridge. this works like a charm, but i'd like to do this in a more efficient way.

i've already been told that the Sense 2.1 implementation cover OSX compatible tethering. and so i tried every sense rom in question, but none of those provide any working tethering-interface.. :/

so my question is:

is it even possible to provide this new interface with the hero?

[HD2 General] kvalen:
Hi everyone, I just purchased 2 HTC HD2 phones from T-mobile 5 days ago and every thing was fine until 2 days ago. The phone that is mine started to freeze on the unlock screen / slide button, will not unlock all the time, sometimes it does sometime it doesn't. I have to remove the battery and reset to unlock. Both phones came with the same firmware version 2.13.531.1 but only my phone freezes and not my wifes. I read in the T-Mobile forums that, the latest update would fix my issue. So I update my firmware to the latest version (actually reinstalled latest version as it was already installed on phone, to see if that would fix issue) 2.13.531.1, to fix unlocking issues in the lock screen. But after updating several times and trying almost every thing I have read about in this forum and HTC's forum, like disabling sensing and cleaning the RAM removing locations from weather app and permanently deleting all text messages and emails, and disable autolock with cab file, Nothing has worked. I have 2 HTC HD2 but only 1 freezes. They both have the same firmware version 2.13.531.1. The only work around I have found is to deactivate automatic shut down in the settings menu to keep the phone from locking automatically sense it only freeze at the unlock screen/slide button.How ever this drains my battery alot faster because the screen only dims but never shuts off and its not a real fix to the issue. If anyone knows of a real fix please post here will I check again for any knew posts......................Thank you .
[HD2 General] UrFutureFavEx:
It might just be a defective phone.

I for one started on the (i believe its 2.10) firmware & then upgrade to the 2.13....HATED IT. They 2.13 which was supposed to "fix" certain bugs seemed to make mines worst so i reinstalled the original 2.10.

Im not sure if they do handset trade where you are, you could call the store and find out, if not, you could always downgrade the software to see if it works, or just flash a custom ROM....

Or wait on hole for a TMO rep and see if they can just send you a replacement (once you got through a bunch of troubleshooting that most likely wont work).

Good LUCK! :)
[HD2 General] spikegotti:
mine also freezes on the lock screen, is there a way to deactivate the lock screen during standby?
[HD2 General] UrFutureFavEx:
Go to google and type in "deactivate lockscreen on hd2"

Choose the second result...

Didnt want to get in trouble for posting the link to another site so i decided to play it safe....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Postal Dude:
Since FRF50 iv been having force closes with android application launcher and many others. Sometimes the keyboard will take 30 seconds to load up. Sometimes i will be typing and none of my text will appear in the preview bar, but if i hit send then it will send what i have typed. Even after doing a complete full wipe including Dalvik-Cache and everything in recovery and installing FRF91 fresh. I am still seeing these force closes. None of which i saw on CM-5.0.8. Am i the only one or is this a wide spread thing?

Im on FRF91 with .34 cyanogen Kernel. Running stock speeds
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
Since frf 50 mine has been freezing and crashing.
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
Here's the full story.

The first time i encountered the problem was when i was done using Froyo from the Android thread (works perfectly btw). I restarted the device via the button on the back like i've done a hundred times but this time it vibrated and nothing showed on screen.

I figured it was some random fluke - i yanked out the battery, put it back in and powered the phone - everything was fine so i didn't think anything of it.

Two days after that i picked up my phone from my desk and tried to turn on the screen but nothing happened, thinking it was stuck somehow i rested via the button - this time it didn't vibrate and it didn't turn on. I tried a couple more times to restart it - nothing. I pulled the battery and tried to turn it on via the power button - nothing. After three tries of pulling the battery and pressing the power button it vibrated but the screen didn't turn on, i left it like that for a minute and i heard the startup sound from my ROM (Energy's from july 1th).

I pulled the battery again and tried again - this time it turned on vibrated and i saw the smart mobility screen after it booted into WinMo i noticed that the wi-fi was turned on, so while i was mashing the screen i must've activated it. This leads me to speculate that WinMo was powered on and the touchscreen was registering input. I set it down trying to think what the problem can be and turned off the screen - it went to complete black first (noticed it due to being in total darkness) and then turned off - couldn't get it to turn on so I again restarted - it vibrated again, but again no smart mobility screen, the startup sound came and i pressed the power button - that turned on the screen and everything was fine.

Frustrated i performed a hard reset but that didn't help - again the screen wasn't powered on.

A couple of more hard resets later i decided to do a task29.

After the task29 i flashed Energy's 8th july ROM, but the problem is still there. (After flashing i couldn't power it on for a while).

So to sum up:

- from time to time no screen

- did a hard reset and a task 29

- i have access to the bootloader and it loads every time (the screen turns on every time)

So due to the fact that the bootloader turns on the screen every time i think that i can rule out a hardware problem with the screen, but i did a task29 and flashed a new rom so it shouldn't be anything software related either...

The phone works after a while and is fully functional but the problem happens from time to time (i haven't installed any additional software to eliminate interference).

What do you guys think?
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
I've been doing some testing and the "blackout" presents itself at random.

If i leave the phone on after a while it blacks out when i press the power button the screen stays off but the button at the bottom work, also the volume buttons change the volume and i can hear the sound. If i leave it for a while and try again the screen does turn on. I can't figure out why and what causes it to do that...

One time that it did boot up properly there was this message

I noticed that i had a Microp at the bootloader screen. Does anyone know what it is and why it's tormenting me?

Also while the phone is charging and the led light is on and the phone goes in black out "mode" the light doesn't go off after i unplug it even after it goes out of blackout mode. Maybe that's a clue.

I'm stuck and have no ideas...
[Touch HD General] Zd0s:
i think microp stands for microphone

update it?

don't where from but will post if i find it or someone else migt be able to find it.

another problem is how are you going to install it for that i do not know unless the phone still operates then you can install it by cab if not maybe it can be cooked into one of the new roms.

hope you get your phone running again soon!

Best Regards,

Zac
[Touch HD General] mybetrayal:
Sorry for re-bumping an old thread, but I think my phone may be doing something similar.

Did you manage to get it going OP?

My phone has worked fine since I got it (a year or so ago) - but just lately it has been a complete a**e to boot up. I was using the BSHenge ROM (USPL) when the problem started and my phone randomly froze, leaving no alternative but to reset it. After the reset I either get a black screen only, or the initial boot screen "Smart Mobile" with the ROM version in the bottom right corner eventually appearing. Then it hangs.

I did a hard reset, installed the latest NRG ROM and my problems seemed to get worse, I persisted resetting and yanking the battery and eventually it did boot, but froze when trying to do various basic tasks.

I've sort of got it working by hard resetting again, choosing the latest BSHenge ROM and re-flashing... It's still really slow on boot up but does seem to get there... I haven't dared put my storage card back in yet - I intend to back it up and re-format it... I just get the sinking feeling that this problem is getting progressing stil and is possibly hardware?

I don't know what a task 29 is, so I don't think I've done one of those - I've done a hard reset (power and vol-up to boot), and I'm pretty well versed using the USPL and flashing the ROM.

I was wondering how can I get my phone to recovery to update ROM? Basically I've flash my firmware now trying to to get recovery.

I've tried downloading the adb from modaco and it just says: error device not found.

I'm stuck as to what to try out :( any help would be much appreciated.

try vol down button plus recovery when usb is plugged into your machine running odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
adb should work, you probably don't have the correct drivers installed. But your combination is correct. Try holding them for longer. Remember the phone must be off when you do this.

@lgkahn: he's already done the Odin stuff, vol. down gets you in the download mode, not recovery. He's now trying to install an update.zip...recovery is what he wants.

[HTC Aria General] Shovelhead84:
The Aria has been a great phone since I dumped AT&Ts bloatware, and it runs nicely with ATTN1's rom. I bought it with the excitement that AT&T was finally accepting android into their home and I didn't have to pay $530 for a nexus one. I wanted a power house but settled for something available at an acceptable cost. Directly after buying an Aria a release date is finally put out for the Galaxy S. The cost difference is 40% but the performance difference is 400%. I never expected to stray from HTC but $199 for a "Nexus slapping 4" amoled hummingbird" is not passable.

This is not a bad phone and is amazing for such a small device.
[HTC Aria General] sl8125:
yes i too do not stray from HTC smartphones. and prob be getting the aria. however, just saw on engadget that HTC Desire is passed through FCC with ATT band. dont know if i should wait. the specs on captivate sounds good but i rather spend the money on HTC goods. they make better phones i think. Plus i could get the aria for free. it has such high reviews. i do know if i really need a 1ghz processor even it sounds nice to have. but i don't want to fork over 2 hundo for these new phones. we'll see.
[HTC Aria General] andoh:
If you want a pocket computer, then maybe consider the change. But other than the screen, and faster cpu, what do you get out of the phone purchase? It runs the same apps, I haven't encountered any apps yet that actually slow the aria down. The aria can do live wallpapers etc. Other thing is, 2.2 should be out before you know it and the aria will be a whole new beast again.

Also, I highly recommend sticking to HTC, truth is they really want to compete with apple, and I would like them to have my money to do so, I like competition in the marketplace.

Also, also, I've had a oled screen on a media player, and for the first week, the screens are amazing, after that they become normal. Keep that in mind.

I would only buy it, if you like the idea of more screen real estate, a bigger phone to hold on to, and a faster cpu. I dunno if that phone features the stereo mics, if it does, thats a good reason to consider too, the n1's is amazing.

after all the fuss about the nexus one warranty being broken by unlocking the device, does anyone know if Samsung's warranty is affected by installing a custom rom?

Does anyone know if this is true?

I was wondering if HTC's implementation of Exchange ActiveSync is any different from ActiveSync on phones with plain old, unskinned Android.

I ask this because when we had a Moto Droid to test at work a few months ago, I was able to setup ActiveSync without issue. On my Aria, however, using the same settings just doesn't work. I've verified the settings from a previous document I had created, and I'm fairly certain no changes have been made on the mail server side of the equation.

Any thoughts on the matter?
