Hi ther. newbee really to all this but i looking to change my phone, i have the o2 xda exec.... getting on my nerves now, TO BIG.... but anyways. i like the look of the E650 - S710, have a few questions tho so im hoping someone could help me before i go and buy 1
1.just to confirm... this phone does support A2DP. and does it work well.. you know. like it should. not lagging or jumpin.
2. if i do get 1 im getting the SPV E650. not the htc s710.. (just for insurance purpose) but what do you lot think is the best rom to put on it..... keep the orange 1 on it. flash with the htc 1 ect....versions..... but if changing away from orange rom.. please let me know it is not going to be a pain putting the orange internet/wap settings on..
3. whats the typical battery life like... i like to listen to music alot so dont want a phone i could kill in 2 hours just for listening to mp3's
thats about it really, only 3 questions, and hopefully easy for anyone to answer
thanks you guys'N'girls (brillient site tho)
1. Don't know, but I think it is!
2. The best ROM is the ARA ROM and it's derivatives. It is just the fastest.
3. With Wifi on and heavy use one day, with music at least 8 hours (I've never used it longer than this)!
ok, thanks for that
1. i do hope someone can confirm this
2. sounds ok, but i have ssen a few roms out there so when you saw ARA rom, which one is that, (sorry for sounding a bit thick on that)
3. thanks, sounds like what i already get from my o2 xda exec.
if anyone else has different views, or more info to add, please do!!!
[size=+3]so. dont anyone else have there opinon !!![/size]
No need to use angry smileys and capital letters thanks..
1. I can't answer this one I don't have a bluetooth headset.
2. the ARA rom with the latest official rom released, named ARA because it includes support for arabic language. You find it here
3. I don't have a correct answer for this one, but I know too that it must be longer than 8 hours. The only thing that really drains the battery a lot is having wifi on.

i guess i'll go and get me one of these phones, be alot better than the brick that i have (xda exec), nothing wrong with it, just fed up of the size.. but was a great phone
The SPV E650 has been discontinued by Orange so you would be better getting a HTC S710 as it is sim free so you can still use your O2 Sim. I can not help you with the best ROM as I am not brave enough to flash the ROM on my Vox. This phone does support A2DP but you have to edit the registry to get the best out of Bluetooth audio as the default settings do not show
A2DP at it's best. Easy to get Orange settings on your phone with the HTC network settings wizard off the HTC site, but you have to have an official HTC IMIE number to register with HTC to get to the downloads so rules out the SPV unless you register with Modaco and download the app from them. Battry life varies, if you use a Bluetooth GPS reciver with Google Maps for mobile then the battery will start to drain pretty quickly as you will have the Bluetooth radio switched on aswel as having an active data connection. To get the most out of the battery you will have to mainly use it for making and reciving phone calls and sending and reciving SMS as that only uses the cell radio. If you want to listen tomp3's then you are better off using the supplied wired headset as you do not need to have the Bluetooth radio switched on. If you want to drain the battery fast then switch Bluetooth and wifi on and connect to Orange World as you will have the cell radio switched on, the Bluetooth radio switched on, the wifi radio switched on and the cell radio will be in data mode.

ok, thanks for that. 1 question for you tho. there did you hear that the SPV E650 has been discontinued, as i went in to town a few days ago and seen the SPV E650 in the orange shop (nottingham)
just to clarify tho, i am on orange, not o2, just had the o2 xda exec as i got it cheaper than i could the orange version, but because of that i have ended up missing orange insurance..... i am a bugga for breaking phones. toilets, windows, cars etc.... as i mean, i had 8 spv m500's already. (thanks to orange insurance).
i can say 1 thing tho to the people out there that like the o2 xda exec. its hard to brake, (windows and stairs dont seem to bother it).
I don't know why. My device was with the same configuration everytime and suddenly, the FM Radio stopped working.
It doesn't scan stations and it's impossible to search, while yesterday it did perfectly.
I also noticed that bluetooth actively refuses to start. When I try to enable it, the system appears to consume a lot of CPU and the wait animation remains there for some seconds. Then it disappears and the bluetooth indicator doesn't change. So it's always off.
I have switched from radio 1.58.25.14 to 1.58.23.21 and changed the OS ROM from bepe 0.58 to Black Widow and I have bepe's again.
I'm very upset because one of the features I use more is the FM radio. I can't imagine that my device is broken, and that the radio unit has a hardware failure
I bought it in the UK and I'm from Spain. In case of having to repair it, I will have to move the earth! So I hope that somebody has a solution for this disgusting situation...

Hi
Im in the same situation. Ive try many different flash with rom and radio but no positiv result. I dont have tested origin flash with spl and rom vodafone. Im so afraid of sending back the phone to htc. I cant wait
good luck ! (I dont use the radio so i dont know if it works...)

The longer I watch this situation the longer it seems to me, that flashing Radio 1.58.25.14 destroys your Bluetooth and FM-Radio unit. I don't know how, I suppose has something to do with routing too much power or god knows how, but more and more people which once flashed Radio 1.58.25.14 complain of broken Bluetooth and FM-Radio units...
Same here and Original ROM
I am using the original ROM and my BT is broken. I've hard reset and still the same.
Ohhhhhhh HTC.
The each new device, on step back in quality.
Has anybody figured out when the MEIZU M8 will launch?
-Feaps
I have an HTC Touch Cruise. Bluetooth and FM Radio was working, and at some point it stopped.
The device has the original ROM -- no hacks.
I used this successfully: http://esl.sun.ac.za/keyboard/
This required the installation of the .NET 2.0 framework.
Sometime after both the Bluetooth and Radio stopped working. I doubt it has to do specifically with the custom keyboard driver. The problem does not seem to be isolated to any ROM (e.g., 1.58.25.14) , although perhaps the ROM can aggravate whatever it is that breaks the FM and bluetooth.
Perhaps those who have experienced this problem could post exactly what they used the bluetooth for, what they installed (if anything), the state of the device as best they remember before and after the failure, etc?
BTW, I have a support ticket with HTC -- they told me to contact their RMA.

Before getting broken I had a strange failure when I was sending a picture with my Polaris. The other device received the picture, but when I checked it I saw that only the first half of it was rendered. The rest was corrupted on the screen.
While the trasfer was being made, I remember that I saw an error, but I don't know what it said.
BT worked for some days after this.
The FM radio used to work, but I noticed that, from time to time, it didn't start. I had to re-scan to make it work.
I sent it to the Technical Support and I received it yesterday, but... THEY DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, so I'm really upset. I sent a complain to them and published a post in my weblog for everybody to know how the HTC customer support works in Spain.
I hope that somebody could find a software solution for this ANNOYING issue.
PB of BT,
Hi,
Your experience is very worrying !!! I was thinking to send my polaris to HTC very soon, but Im not so sure of doing it now !
Please tell us every new info about this.
thank you !

Hi,
My Cruise has the same problems. At the begining, internal phone speaker don´t works sometimes and now, no Bluetooth and no radio with original ROM and without any change.
Today i have sent it to HTC.
This problem is becoming usual........
Regards from Spain.
Radio Died too
Hmmm,
I've just been away on business and half way through the week, the radio on my O2 Orbit2 died as well.
The radio turns on but can't find any channels when scanning, just giving a shash sound and you can't even dial in a frequency - nothing.
At the same time it also appeared to partially corrupt my sd card as I couldn't use media player to play any music tracks.
After a hard reset when I got home and reformatting the sd card, I can play music once more but the radio is dead.
It's not the end of the world but I did enjoy listening to the radio. I think I'll mail O2 and see what they have to say.
Cruise Problems
I've had mine now since mid March and all (touch wood) is working well. I find that a lot of post throughout this board indicate hardware problems after doing ROM upgrades. Personally, I'm from the old school of thought that states, if it ain't broke then don't fix. I now that people like to experiment with ROM changes etc., But I feel, that once you do that, you irrevocably change the phone's condition, even if you switch back to the original ROMs. Having said all this, I admit that I'm no expert, so take what I say, with a grain of salt, so to speak.

Well, Kidcom, the problem is there are lots of people also telling that no ROM upgrade was done and their phones also got messed up.
I wonder if the recent production units are also having faulty units. I have a reply from HTC to contact support and get an RMA, but I am in Brazil and I feel like the local HTC comes out with the local Cruise so that I can get a local RMA rather than shipping it overseas (which is a pain in the neck paperwork with Customs).
Did anyone find out a fix for that or is it a real faulty batch that reaquires manufacturing intervention?
Best,

The bluetooth/FM-radio/headset hardware problem exists since the beginning of HTC Touch Cruise. See, for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383280&page=7
Thus, the problem is proved to be the motherboard hardware design mistake.
Once happened, there is no software fix (including recent "hot" fixes by HTC) to the problem. Most devices experience that in just few months (four in my case) after purchase. However, HTC provides no reply (at least to me) and denies to call back the devices.
Same problem on my Touch HD
HTC Cruise Radio FM-Bluetooth-Read M.Cards K.O.!!!
I have the same problem after 10 days of the buying!!!
But in addition to the FM Radio-Bluetooth,doesn't read most Memory Cards.
Send to HTC for replace the motheboard.
Very,very good!!!
sorry for my English

I am very happy for the time to repair and the result (Perfect), I can only applaud the Assistance HTC "although initially I was doubtful."

Hello everyone,
I have the latest AT&T 6.1 ROM, downloaded from the HTC site for the Tilt. Here's a couple of problems that I have, that I can't get search results for.
1. VERY often, when a person calls me and I answer, I can't hear anyone on the other end! The same results when I make an outbound call as well. The device says that I'm connected to the other party, but I can't hear that.
2. When I AM actively connected, VERY often my bluetooth headset will just DECIDE to disconnect! Now, the DEVICE is still connected, but I have to either quickly put it to my ear to not miss what the other party is saying, or, I've noticed that if I push the multifunction button on the earpiece (Jawbone), it will reconnect.
Any help with these two issues would be appreciated. This has ONLY begun since I've installed the newest AT&T 6.1 ROM, which is supposed to be for the Tilt... which I have.
I'm REALLY frustrated...
Maybe try the original 6.0 rom and see if it still happens. If it does, and your phone is under a year, I would definitely send your phone in for warranty.
Jason
i have 3 words for you,
1-radio

try changing your radio and see if the problem persists, but i smell a radio problem behind all of this

did you do a hard reset? if not try that and see if that helps
Without a doubt an issue with your radio version. I had the same issues when I switched from WM6 to 6.1 - turned out my radio only worked w/ version 6 and caused my phone to only work half of the time.

You are Switching from a 6.0 to 6.1...it probably is a radio issue...just go to the ultimate radio thread in my signature and download a 6.1 radio and try it....it will only take a few seconds
the stock wm6.1 at&t rom that he loaded comes with a functional radio made for that rom so unless he flashed a radio that is for wm6 after he updated then yes its the radio
looks like Radio problem.. but if you install the ATT official rom you have allready one for 6.1 windows.. Like already say MSD24200
but try one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
i prefer the 1.65.24.36 NIKI Radio
you must select one of 1.65.xx.xx or 1.70.xx.xx
Comm Manager?

Bob,
I using the eOS 4.888 ROM on AT&T and I have the "silent call" issue too. It seems to have come up only in the past month or so. I'm on my 4th radio, currently a Polaris 1.59.42.23. The Polaris Radio seems to make the problem less frequent, but it is still there. My first though was this is an AT&T issue but there is a thread in the Kaiser General section about this, and posts in the Ultimate Radio thread that indicate the issue is occurring outside of the AT&T network as well.
The issue has been blamed on radios, ROM, and bluetooth, but in my experience with it, I'm thinking it might be Comm Manager related, but I don't know enough to know how the Comm Manager interacts with the radio/ROM to really be helpful.
I do know that the person who figures out the answer to this problem will make quite a few folks on this board very happy!!

Same Issue
I am having the same issue. I have the official 6.1 ROM from HTC on the att tilt. I flashed it on a friday and did not notice issues with not hearing the person on the other end when connected until a few days later. I looked at the ultimate radio thread according to that, I have the correct radio for my rom version:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
Could it still be a radio issue? Or something else?

It is not Comm mgr related as I have tried several to no avail, Also several 6.1 roms and several radios . No luck.
Hopefully a mod can combine this thread with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438457 so we can all work on this together.
Can't hear other party......
Did anyone find a solution to this yet? I have flashed all the compatable rabios with the tilt running the official wm6.1 from htc. And I am still making and receiving calls with not being able to hear the other party(as well as them not being able to hear me).
The main function of the tilt is a PHONE!
Hard reset after flash maybe?

It has to do with 6.1 . We are trying to pool all our information on one thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438457
Nika has reflashed to a 6.0 rom, and that appears to have eliminated the problem.
Again, if a Mod could merge these threads, we could all work togther on this.

If it is not radio, then it is a connection issue with your USB port. I had this happen to me and frustrated the heck out of me until I discovered that the tether that is inside the USB port on the device was loose, as if it was cracked. I must have done that while jabbing the stylus in it without using my glasses to soft reset. I discovered the issue by accident when the phone was plugged to be charged and i received a phone call. every time i wiggled the phone the conversation sound would get muted or interrupted. I ended up returning the Tilt to AT&T as a defective device and got a refurbished one that works. Test it and let us know.
Have a weird problem and i think it can fixed by some registry.
the bluetooth will disconnect each time with my headsfree after hang up call. only either i press headsfree button to re-estabish or restart bluetooth to get it hook up again.
Does anyone has similar experience ?
Bluetooth disconnect
I've had this problem with my Sprint Touch Pro since I've had it...running stock ROM or Merdin's ROM. Very frustrating...using Motorola HF820 in the car and AT&T EP5632 (BT/Landline phone)...same thing.
I think there's a registry entry for bluetooth polling or something that can be set, but I've yet to find it. There was a post indicating that Diamond TF3D Config had a Bluetooth "tweak" that might solve the problem...but I get an error message when I run it.
JLPDA, Can you send me the tread that talk about this tweak, i wanna take a look see has anything we can do about.
Same problem: Touch Pro with Parrot MK6000 handsfree. I notice though that the phone reconnects after a minute or so. Previous Tytn did not have this problem.
Any news on this? I have the same problem with my Touch HD and Mk6000

Maybe we should flood Parrot with requests for a fix... It should be easy for them.. my previous kit (MK3000) worked flawlessly...
just "copy and paste" from MK3000 parrot engineers!!!!
OTOH, my Jasjam (HTC Tytn) worked fine with my MK6000, while my current Touch Pro has this problem.
I was unable to find anything on the Parrot forums...
I wrote a message to the technical support page on Parrot's web site... let's see what happens...
Parrot's tech support told me that the HTC Touch HD is not currently suopported!!

Seems like nothing is supported on this POS. Out of six phones I have had the only ones that seemed to work with the MK6000 without problem was the Blackberry Storm which is the only good thing I have to say about that phone. It seems moronic that people should have to go through different phones to make their "Accessory" work. Parrot needs to get a clue. I know I'll be voting with my dollars elsware.
I can confirm, it will work as a stereo adaptor with the Touch Pro 2 but hangs up phone calls in the first second or two on the handsfree.
For Sale: One Parrot MK6000 stereo A2DP car kit, slightly used.
And I thought Bluetooth was supposed to be a standard...
I hate bluetooth!!!
What do you know... my parrot MK6000 now works just fine with my new HTC LEO...
Maybe it's because the LEO uses Broadcomm's bluetooth stack instead of the Microsoft's one... who knows...

I also have the AT&T EP5632 and this happens. Does not happen on my Plantronics or Motorola earpieces though.

Hey Guys, i'm hoping you can help me.
I have searched this forum and couldnt find anyone that has the same bug as me. I apologize in advance if there is a thread already that discusses this.
I have a Ford Mondeo Titanium X 58plate. Bluetooth syncs up and sends/receives calls great, however When I try to hang up the call it crashes. Is anyone having the same problem?
I upgraded my o2 HTC phone to the latest 1.66 rom and I still get the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
I too have the same issue. I have a Mondeo Zetec and suffer from the same issue. After hanging up, the phone continually tries to connect and disconnect and the only way to stop it is to turn off bluetooth completely. I logged the problem with HTC and they were trying working on the problem howver I havent heard anything from them for 3 weeks. Im considering changing the bluetooth stack on the phone but arent sure how and with which stack.
I heard that changing the stack to the Microsoft default causes other issues. Let me know if you get a response from HTC regarding a fix. I dont even bother connecting the phone to the car anymore because it just crashes everytime i get a call, its so frustrating.
This is the response I got from HTC:
We can never guarantee that our products will be compatible with car kits or bluetooth headsets.
There are different ROM versions of Windows Mobile 6.5.
It might be that this product is not 100% compatible with this specific car kit.
When it comes to upgrades and updates then you will have to contact O2 for them to provide the upgrades for you.

Probably a generic answer to everyone.
Same issue/possible fix
I have a Titanium X sport exactly the same issue.
I was told a couple of days ago if you switch off Data connection in Wireless controls in Settings it helps and I have tested a few times and this does seem to work.
I have not had an opertunity to test thoroughly and would be interested to here if it helps you
