hiho everyone,
im quite in a little trouble with my alpine aka xda2i.
first of all i owned the old Himalaya Device and also the o2 carkit. no problems so far. now i "updated" to the xda2i and now its not possible to use the carkit as it was designed for, handsfree phoning... i hear the ones that calls me but they cannot hear me, i checked the micro but that is still ok. So maybe someone owns or knows where to get the connector pinout from an Alpine. then i can compare it with the Himalaya pinout. maybe they just changed 1 or 2 pins.
Second thing i want to know is if anyone knows how decode the Alpine ROMs cause i always get an password error on ER2003Edit..
hope someone can help me out

Hi
I've received my XDA2i today and am very pleased with it...even if my girlfriend was less than impressed given it's likeness to the XDA2! Hehe...
Anyway, I am having great difficulty getting my o2 bluetooth clip headset to pair up and connect. I have tried and rechecked everything I can think of, yet when I try to connect it as a headset / handsfree in BT Connection Wizard, it comes back (after asking for the legtimate pin) saying "an error occured while attempting service discovery. Please make sure the remote device is turned on, BT is enabled and the device is discoverable and try again".
I've checked on my old XDA2 just now and it recognises it straight away. Obviously the 2i is doing something because it asks for the pin.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Anthony
I somehow managed to pair the headset which does now show in bonded pairings.
Also whilst performing a hard reset I managed to make it a hands free headset briefly so there doesn't appear to be a problem with the headset (and it works fine with the XDA2).
Is there a way of removing this broadcom stack and replacing it with one that works better? it's currently build 3900.
Cheers
Anthony
Thanks for all the responses!
:shock:
However, now I've resigned myself to this I was wondering if anyone DOES actually knew of a way to remove the standard xda2i BT stack and replace it with a version akin to that present in XDA2 ROMs.
I personally couldn't give two shiny sh*tes about all the other features, if having them means I can't use the damn thing whilst driving!

As I'm giving up from getting my Xda II up to the task of BT Syncing AND BT handsfree, I ordered an i-mate Jam from Expansys.
As my order is on backlog due to lack of stock (more than 3 weeks now) I'm having time to wonder about my "incoming" new toy.
So I have a few questions for the more "JAM" experience users:
:?:
1.- Is BT operational with HandsFree devices? I mean carkits and the like.
2.- Is the BT stack having problems to ActiveSync with Win XP SP2?
3.- Any rumours about the new 2005 version? When will I-mate ship it?
4.- Are the most recent units coming with the flaws fixed? I read about bad sound, blurry pictures, a patched radio protocol, etc.
5.- Is any application known by not running on the JAM?
Thanks for commenting, I'll post my findings when my unit arrives.
BTW does anyone need a perfectly working XDAII?
:wink:
No help?
Ok, Should I admit there are not any problems around? Is anyone out there moved from XDA-II willing to help?
Thanks.
:wink: :?:
Great Move.
I changed my XDAII for a Jam and I'm extremely happy :lol:
No sound issues also bluetooth headset Motorola 810 connects fine. Camera is not too good but I guess thats the only flaw.

Hi zedeff! Thanks for info!
Just wondering: Is anyone using a BT carkit? Since this is a common problem with XDA II, I'm a bit worried about.
:wink: :?:
considering a switch
i'm quite happy with my xdaII except that i find it bulky.. i'm seriously thinking of getting the xdaII mini (aka magician). any comments? bad reviews? suggestions?
btw, i'm looking for a fair market where i can sell my xdaII here in manila in case i do decide to buy the mini. any ideas? :wink:
Me too!
I'm also considering moving from the XDA2. My XDA2 has been great although not without one or two issues (getting BT working with a GPS receiver - not for the newbies!). I was considering the XDA2s and XDA2i but have read about issues with both. Now the XDA2 mini looks fantastic as I often wish I had a smaller phone without sacrificing the features. Has anyone else taken the plunge?
Hi,
Does anybody know, or has anybody tested, the I-Mate JAMin (etc) in the THB Bury car cradle for the I-Mate JAM? The dimensions of the two devices are the same, and the USB, headphone socket, and external antenna connector all look to be in the same place.
Just wondering if anybody has tried this setup.
Cheers

THB Jam kit
It doesn't work out of the box. There are some grooves on top of the JAM that aren't on the JAMin and that's what the THB kit uses to retain the JAM. You may be able to adapt it. I'm using the THB Blueadapter and it works well, albeit without the external aerial connection.
I am using my THB Bury Jam cradle, and can confirm that it works fine.
Although it does not seem to engage the aerial connection as well as it did with the Jam, on my S200 the connection seems to be slightly higher, only possibly by half a mm.
You also need to use the additional self extracting file from THB to get the hands free.
Also the annoying echo is no longer there that I got with my Jam.
Hope this helps.

Interesting
I must have another look, unless there is a subtle difference between the JAMin and S200 cases. It certainly didn't seem to work that well in the shop, with the little bumps deforming the case. Thanks
Interesting
On my S200 the two little grabs on the THBury holder seem to sit nicely where the SD card recess is. Please see attached.
Cheers

This is a thread from a while back. Has anyone been using the Bury car cradle (on their website they show it as the MDA compact holder).
I'm still looking for a real (complete) carkit (not just a cradle with loading capability) and so far this is the only one I can find. I really don't want to combine a cradle with a BT speaker system.
Works with minor tweaks
I have the THB Uni8 cradle for the MDA compact running with my neo.
I only had to do some minor "dremeling" do not get my neo scratched when removing and mounting it again and agian. It is just a five minute job, even if you have two left hands like me.
I got my S200 back from a repair and it was also upgraded form G3 to G4.
Everything seems to work fine, except my Jabra BT500 head set. After pairing with my S200 I got a very cracking sound.
So I checked my Jabra with another mobile phone and it worked very well. I checked another head set with my S200 and again a cracking sound.
Does anybody knows how to solve this or do I have to return my S200 again for repair?
Hi, I have excatly the same problem, it also occurs with the bluetoothof my car...anyone can help us?
I have returned my S200 to QTEK today in order to have it repaired (again).
I have tested it (in my car) with 2 other Bluetooth headsets and there was no problem. There was also no problem when I tested my own headset on another phone. So this proves that my S200 has some kind of defect.
The sound is very crappy ?
Or is the soud quite ok, but experiencing high frequency glitches, kind of metallic parasits?
Because in that case, there is nothing to do, It's due to the MS bleutooth stack which has a very poor encoding librairy... and since there is no widcomm stack for S200 (and some other qtek too, a lot of people is yet trying to malke it work), then evey bleutooth headset will have bad sound in A2DP with the S200 :'(
One of the main reasons why I want to change for a widcomm stacked pocketPC (shame on MS!!!!!!!!!!)
For me, the quality is very bad. At the beginig I use it only on my car and it was working perfectly, since I try to connect to the bluetooth headset or to my computer the sounds became very very crappy. I have Dopo ROM, which rom do you have? what ROM do you advise? Thank you
I have tried the LVSW, Jester and shipped ROMS and all these ROMS have the same problem. So I think that it is not related to the ROM but due to bad hardware components.
it's strange because it was working for me before I use other bluetooth device. I will try to upgrade the rom to the official QTEK ROM
I have the same problem. As if the bluetooth signal were cut per moment.
it's not linked to roms, but to bluetooth stack, so since the bt stack is updated (but I doubt it), changing roms won't help
I could fix it, I update the ROM, delete all pairaing on my cars... I change the "hsotname" of my QTEK on "settings - Owner information" I recreate the pair and it works fine on my car, now crappy sound anymore. Just to test it again, I try to pair my "fujitsu laptop" to my qtek, since I did it, the sound is again very crappy. So I will flash again and pair it only with my car. If I return it to Qtek it takes 1 months... If someone can fix this that would be great.
Hi folks,
It's my first post here, and yes I have searched for an answer but couldn't find one (no doubt someone will now point me in the direction of an old thread! )
I've got a Vodafone 1605 (UK) Hermes type handset and have a Nokia CK7W car kit in my car.
The car kit works flawlessly with a nokia handset I have, but with the Hermes the outgoing call quality is (apparently) very poor. Apparently every 4 or 5 words are skipped and clipped. The inbound audio (the call I hear) is perfect.
Can someone suggest some possible fixes for this?
Thanks for your help....
Regards,
mistuk

I'm reasonably confident this same change will work for your device as it appears to be a WM6 issue and not a device issue
