With WM6, I had matched my bluetooth earphone with prophet,then I can see the BT headphone symbol on dialing menu.However, if I reboot Prophet, the connection will lost,when I making a call, it won't auto connect to my BT earphone(the WM5 rom did),I have to open setting->connect>BT rematch it to use my earphone.
The problem also happens if,
1.First build connection between phone and BT earphone.
2.Take away the phone only(far enough to let them unable to communicate)
3.Take back the phone and make a call. The BT connection won't re-connect untill you re-matching it.
It makes me very inconvience, thanks a lot if someone can help me to fix it.
Thank you!
I have the very same problem in all of PDAViet's roms. After soft reset the bluetooth partnership setting is gone (although the symbol of the paired device is still there..) I have asked for a fix several times but no one seems to care.. Very strange that only a few people seem to make regular use of their bluetooth headset....

Why do you complain so unsympatically? Remember that you flashed your device yourself. Nobody forced you, nobody let you pay for the software. You downloaded all by yourself a file that a smart person somewhere in Vietnam or Thailand or Russia or where ever, has put together becourse his hobby is to fool around with his PDA. That same person was so friendly to let the whole world join in on his party.
But don't complain when that person don't like to spend his time on your problems, for as far we know his doesn't have a BT headset at all and isn't interested in that functionality. It will become a whole different piece of meat when you had purchased the ROM, but you haven't....... did you....?
Cool...
rondol1 - I like your thinking, my sentiments exactly.
is there anyone can help?
Same sproblem with other bluetooth devices
I think it is not just a BT headset problem but a BT stack problem. I'm using a BT GPS and I had to re-pair GPS and Prophet each time I use (althoughit seems like it is already paired)
It is irrelevant maybe but similar problem exist on e-mails. I create an account for my email provider, download e-mails, but after a reset it looks like my e-mail setting are gone (have to re-configure it) But even when it seems settings are gone I can see it on my today plugin that I have such number of e-mails ( I can get to see them)

I did NOT "complain" about the problem not being fixed so far, but about the missing reaction of some of this community when I posted the question about the status of this problem on new ROMs several times (which this forum should be there for) and there was just no answer at all. Because I do not want to flash my device with every new "release" only to find out that the problem is still there. I am indeed aware of the fact that not everyone is using BT functionality and that a new OS manually adapted to an "older" device is something that cannot be free of issues from the beginning.
Any change on this behaviour with the new PDAViet ROM 4.0.0.0.6 Touch? Anyone tried?
Same problem
Thanks for All and for every thing they did to make prophet for WM6 but this bluetooth problem is really killing me also every time i am using my car bluetooth i have to pair
Same problem in all rom's
Have tried almost all rom's, same problem.
The problem seems not to be releated to the diffrent BT stacks. Have tried different. Also it is not related to the BT devices. Have used Handfree. Stereo headset. GPS unit. Serial ports on remote PC etc. All have the same problem. Works when paired. Then after a soft reset unit are still in the BT list. But they have all have to be re paired to work.
Surely have something to do, with the units loosing most, or some of the settings after reset. Its an anoying problem, which we all will have to look into.
All the new rom's are nice to have, and to play with. But if we wants the rom's to be good for regular and daily use. We sure needs to fix this problem.
I will start to do my own little investigation, trying to fix the problem.
The problem is the same in all rom's. So if its solved in one rom, I'm pretty sure its solved in all roms. (99% sure , I think)

I know why this is but so far I havn't figured out how to solve it.... the problem is that settings are stored in the ram and not the rom... the way we need to get it to work is have the regestry moved to the extrom and that way it can be writen to directly without having to keep the regestry in the ram..... this can be done but I havn't fully understood how this is don't because I've been trying so hard to figur uot the X button problem... but I'm reading up on how to do that

Strange thing is, I've tried a few WM6 ROM, but never had any problems with lost emailsettings. I use it a lot, and just as everybody, I have to do a soft reset, once in a while...
So, the RAM storage as you describe isn't lost in all cases but also written to ROM.
As for BT I only use my gps-receiver and even that one only now and then It seems t work fine, but to be honest most of the time I've flashed my Prophet between several times....
I've the same problem with BT : always working with BT GPS, always loosing my BT Headset (try with 3 differents Headsets ...).
Be with devellop's team for correct this probem, and not with guy who critic this post without an BT Headset .... This is a forum and the critic is here to help the building of a 'very good' and more stabe as possible WM6 Rom ...
All together for the future ....

try change your battery or just pull out your battery overnight, i'm sure you will experience this problem. Sometimes on my phone when battery goes below 50% if I reset will loose setting sometimes. Just annoying but i can live with it.
The only way to keep your bluetooth, wifi and email settings all the time without worries is to use WM5.
If someone wants to try the bug, just soft-reset the phone while connected to the PC via activesync.
I guess that you will lose your settings (i'm not 100% sure because I'm now using WM5).
okeee.....
That are things I didn't try indeed. But at the other hand, what hould I want to do all that?
Tried the battery-change right away. Everything is still in order, no settings missing, time and date still as it should, email working as it allways did.
I did shut down my device first though.

You might be one of the lucky ones then. I believe majority of us looses settings at various times. what model specs are your device do you have anyway? is it new when u purchased? the reason i asked cuz somewhere i read there is a "button cell battery" might be a wizard thing not prophet devices.

I did buy my S200 new, without any branded OS, that means straight from Qtek. It's a G4, other specs Im willing to tell when you can precise what you want to know.
But... I don't want to be arrogant... when I read the many bug-reports I get the feeling that a majority don't use their device as it is supposed to. If you imagine that it is a small device with very limited hardware specs, it's not hard to understand that it isn't as foolprove as your desktop computer...
But again, it's just a feeling I get by reading many post, I also know that some of you have serious issues that cannot be explained from maluse point of view.
I'm starting this thread to research the hidden possibilities in the HTC Touch Dual (nike). Alot of questions have been asked about wifi capabilities in the dual and how they may be there just locked by the manufacturer. I hope this thread will help us answer wether further capability is unlockable via roms, cabs, drivers, or registry changes.
In an article about the upcoming WM6.1 I found these interesting finds.
http://blogs.zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer/?p=707
"Qualcomm see the decreasing cost of the smartphone spurring growth in adoption of these devices. Steve talked about the Qualcomm/Microsoft collaboration effort and the MSM 7xxx series of chipsets we see in today’s latest and greatest devices. These chipsets include GPS, media, applications processors and more in a single, low battery consumption configuration. There are several variants of their chips in mobile devices today with some having everything inside and some having limitations desired by the manufacturer or carrier for various reasons (cost, size of the device, targeted market, etc)."
The HTC Touch Cruise (polaris) has GPS & Wifi with the Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz processor - The same processor the HTC Touch Dual (nike) has. There would be no reason to use additional hardware in the Polaris if the processor provides this capability.
already posted at other thread that when someone installs the various cabs that people are trying, when we go to wlan settings mac adress doesn't appear.
Usualy appears even when wifi is off.
Regarding gps i tried using google maps to see if detects something but the only com port that kinda works is com 7 but it turns bluetooth on, so it must be a bluetooth port...
Here you have a link for the japanese version that will be available in january.
NO GPS, but has WIFI and FM RADIO.
wouldn't mind having fm radio on my nike!!!!

if you tranlate the page you can see the word FM appearing...

IT HAS FM RADIO
Chainfire:
Just wondering if you could post a RegDump (possibly directory/file listing) of your Kaiser?
I think we are still missing some registry entires.
One such entrie:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511"
If I know how to extract files from Rom's I'd probably stand a better chance at all this.
Wifi -> theres already a lot of discussion on another thread
this thread has been dealing with wifi hidden capacities (or not)

It does indeed seem to have an FM radio. It doesn't change much, though (hardware-wise at least, as you would have to use the headset as an antenna).
My point is, don't trust blindly on PDAdb.net. You can find many errors if look around in there (though most of it seems to be right).

Heh you are right, I did miss that one. Can't make a complete listing right now but I can send you a comparison between the two devices I made yesterday.. In these files 'M' stands for missing and 'D' stands for different... If you send me back two files with only the lines of the files and registry entries you want I can make it into a patch by pressing a button...
I'll try sending you a full listing and dump (instead of the compare files from yesterday) later today.

Hi, thanks for that, it would seem that there are quite a few registry keys missing, I've only searched for GPS keys so far, the main ones needed for interfacing with the GPS driver seem to be missing.
But even after going though and making my own registry file, GPS still does not work, nothing appears on com 4.

yep think its comm 7 on the dual
I think registry keys and DLLs won't help in this case. The MSM7200 GPS function should be enabled by a low level hardware driver that is probably loaded after reset before the OS comes on. Then the OS either sees the GPS port or not. An expert's help is thus needed in this case.
As for WIFI, someone mentioned the lack of MAC address for the WIFI. Again - this is a HW issue as the MAC address is coded in ROM (unerasable part of the FLASH) just like IMEI. And if it is not there to begin with... hmmm...
But we can certainly look for one if we have access to the ROM code - it is a 6-digit number that should begin with 00h 18h 41h. If we correlate a few devices that have this string in the same location than maybe there is something to it (WiFi included).
I was trying GPS test, it scanned all com ports, it did halt on Com7, but now it just skips it.
I think a hard reset and start again is in order.

That web page also indicates that GSM850 is supported. For a USA user, that would be the most important thing of all. There has been some speculation that the phone can support GSM850 now. Perhpas the Japanese ROM will turn it on.
I have an htc s640 (iris 100) has the exact same specs as the HTC Touch and my wifi is enabled. i know it has GPS but its disabled. if you need anything from my registry id be happy to help. only difference between these phones that i can tell is the touch screen. rest of the specs seem to be the same.

Hello to you all,
I've a problem with my HD2 with cht2 custom rom.
The bluetooth is working well but for like 25cm only.
I search on treads on this forum an Tweakers ans on google.
But i couldn't find a solution for 5 day's already.
Maybe one of you is common with the issue.
Is there a soul out there that can help me please?
Kind regards,
SvdBent
I have the same exact problem, but different phone, rom and headset.
It seems intermittent, some times I connect my bluetooth and it works fine, other times I connect and it sounds like a bad stereo connection with static unless I have the phone right right next to the headset, and if it is too far away (~ five feet) it will not even connect.
No other bluetooth devices around but my laptop which has the bluetooth disabled usually, and I can turn my laptop's bluetooth on and test the headset on Skype with no problem - so it has to be the phone.
A side note, I also can not hear the person on the phone if someone calls and it is connected to the PC, but that might be a completely separate problem - and this is also why I turn the bluetooth off on my laptop.
Phone: AT&T Tilt (aka Kaiser, TyTN2)
ROM: WM6.5 HyperDragon IV Mega WWE (10/30/09)
Radio: 1.65.24.36
Headset: Plantronics Voyager 510
Any ideas?
EDIT:
And of course the search is broken ("Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 20-30 minutes."), so I can't search the ROM thread for the problem, and Google was no help, seems this is a rare problem.
EDIT 2:
And now it works fine again...only thing that changed was my battery died from tethering. Could it be Wireless interfering with Bluetooth.....one sec...
OMG, I can't believe I never put figured this out! IT WAS THE WIFI!!! Have had this phone for two years, dont remember when I first noticed it, as they say, I never put two and two together - I never realized it only happened when I was using the Wifi. What causes this and how can it be fixed??
Hi,
I recently bought from a china website a star a2000 but the gps didn't worked so far, all other funcitons works fine but not the gps.
I entered in the factory mode by turning the phone pressing the buttons power + volume up. When I tested the gps I got the message gps failed! (-8).
The problem is that the phone never get the gps fix.
My colleague that bought the same phone bought the same device and when we tested the gps the issue was the same, gps failed! (-8)
We disassembled his device and in the back top of the phone where usually the devices have the gps hardware but there is nothing there.
If someone has faced an issue like this, or found an workaround, please share.

You must go outside, and wait aprox. 10 minutes. For me it worked!
Well Cristivsb, looks like you are the luck one that got the hardware inside your phone, mine a2000 so as my friend's a2000 have not gps hardware inside. I did a trip by car and put it in the console of the car with clear view of the sky, it took more than 2 hours to find satellites but nothing, that is the reason why my colleague openned his one and noticed the gps hardware was not there.
Does anyone has the same issue?
Thanks
Sorry to hear that. Can you please tell me, on the back of the phone package, it is written in English or in Chinese?
> aGPS settings > Select Profile = Google (not Nokia)
It depends which maufacturer you got it from. Looks like a lot of these Chinese manufacturers are cutting corners when putting these things together to either save money or to be able to sell them at a lower price.
There are some A2000's with capacitive screens instead of the resistive screens which is stated on the specs. And there are also some with larger capacities.
The GPS on my A2000 seems to work fine, just having some trouble with the wifi (it works, but only when it wants to) and the 3.5mm jack isn't giving stereo output.
A great phone nonetheless.
Do you mind saying where you got the phone from?
Well, I don't think it is good since mine is without god or capacitive screen. But the problem was the dealer, avoid to buy at chinabuye.com they don't care about customer complaints.
I fixed mine by replacing it by HTC Sensation, more expensive but really works.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I have the same problem!
My phone can't get an GPS fix. I tried it with the A-GPS Nokia server and the A-GPS Google server. I even tried 3rd party software.
Bought it one week ago from ebay, maybe the newer phones come without GPS hardware? I already contacted the seller, waiting for a response.
Star A2000
Hello everyone, i have Star A2000, it works great for me, wifi, gps etc are working... I want to ask is has anyone here know how to improve its performance especially in games? What about custom ROMS? Is it advisable to root this phone? i had read some articles that rooting can improve performance and battery life, can someone tell or teach me how or has someone done rooting A2000? is there a video tutorial about it??
Many thanks...
Nope, i've got a GPS receiver. But it's not very fast! A fake Sirfstar III gps module called: Sirf III. It's working
@jeymund.
I rooted my device today using: "Visionary-R14"
Use the search button on XDA and have fun.

1. Copy the file to the memory card of your mobile phone.
2. disconnect your phone from the PC.
3. Open file manager on your phone.
4. Go to your file and install it.
5. after installing, go to homecreen and open your menu.
6. Go to settings > applications > Development > and check "USB Debugging"
7. now again, go to homecreen and open your menu.
8. Open the visionary application in your menu.
9. Click on TEMP ROOT NOW and wait.. (Dont do anything)
10 after finishing, wait a few (10) seconds and click: "Attempt Permroot now" Now you'll see a massage. allow root acces, but within 8 seconds. (should take at least 30 sec's, but dont do anything!)
11. After auto-reboot, your phone is rooted.
is your phone also Star A2000? I'm afraid to do rooting because it might bricked the unit, what are the advantages or what have you noticed after you've rooted your A2000?
help plz
Hello, i have a qouestion, i got phone from chine, its look like replica of hTC,
i dont have any sw for him, i canot sync it with my computer because i dont have driver for usb
- i can say only that i have java , it is dual SIM mobile, 3MP kamera, FM, Bluetooth, wifii, touch screen,
on baterry and back case it writen that model is X9, but i search the web and there is no hTC model X9, i tray with chinaphonesuite, and a downloaded many driver but with no succes
so i need help plz, is there someone with similar problem !!!!!!??????
sorry for my bad english
I use Z4 for rooting A2000 and A1000 have had no problems, although some of the Mobile unlce tools (from china) do not see this as root, 99% of tools do like root explorer etc and I have had no problem - my only advice is make sure you always keep recovery or system partition working, never flash recovery then immediately install rom - always test check things out slowly so one partition can fix the other if needed.
Also the only difference between the A2000 and A1000 I know of is the touch screen A2k is resistive and A1k is capactive so the Roms will work on each other as far as I am aware but you need to keep your original kernel as that contains the driver for the touchscreen (the kernel is in the boot.ini file within the rom - so you can usually just swap the boo.ini over)
---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 AM ----------
You need to go to a site i am not yet allowed to post a link to, to get software google m44 mobile uncle - use a translator to read about your x9 phone, you will need to create an account (hit use bugmenot.com) as it took me a long time to even manage to log in - you need to open one browser tab translated and one normal (so links can be clicked)
- Can an admin please remove my restrictions, I know I am new - but I know more about these phones than just about any other english speaking person I have met and can offer some supoort, roms and tools for the star a1000, a2000 and maybe shed light on the X8, A3000 and A5000. Thanks

i m planning to buy a china android phone. i read a review the A2000 has sluggish performance. does EVERYTHING works? does flashing new rom and other updates can improve its performance.
How can I take the 'Android Phone' cover off?
@ Eduardo Logan:
Please tell me how you were able to get the bottom back cover off. The one with "Android Phone" printed on it. I don't like to use a lot of force trying to pull things like this apart.
I need to take my phone apart because I have shattered the glass plate between touch digitizer and LCD...
{edit}
I found somewhere that my A2000 is similar to the A1000, but with resistive touchscreen.
This video: http://youtu.be/8fu8W3HQtSQ shows how to disassemble the A1000, but also the A2000.
{edit}
Mine also doesn't have a GPS chip, however there is already a reserved parking place for it .
The funny thing is that mine without GPS was actually more expensive than the A2000 with GPS, because the box (and Focalprice) states that it has an AMOLED screen. It really is just an ordinary LCD, so don't get fooled!
Another question: I can't seem to find a way to make a complete NAND backup, which I like to do before I start to play with the wonderful tools of Byteshertz:

I already installed Titanium backup, but it seems to make a backup of the apps. The recovery menu only seems to allow me to restore, but not to save a backup...
How did you guys do it?
BTW: I used z4root to root the phone, which worked flawlessly, the second time...
Thanks in advance,
Hans
Hi,
just wanted to add to this thread
I just got a A2000 phone, paid 111$ USD including shipping to Canada
the screen is resistive, 800x480 (image is very nice, touch is like other resistive so not really the best but very usable once you get the feel for it)
GPS works, locked on position in seconds !
it has an antenna for some kind of TV function but all I get is static, I don't think it works with DVB but not sure
the dual sim function looks likes you have two lines on one phones, you even have separate reception quality meters
the back as a nice little flip stand so you can rest it upright on a table
it came with two batteries 3.7v 1500 mah, you have to remove the battery to change the SIMs or the microsd card which is VERY annoying
for the price it is an excellent phone, especially a business that needs smartphones to every employee
Hello dear friends,
I've been running my I9300 for about 1 1/2 years now. Yesterday, after weeks and weeks of not changing anything (PA3.99RC2), the speakers AND microphone stopped working. So now sound when playing music, no sound during calls and no functionallity of the microphone (Google Voice and Calls). The only thing, which can be related to this issue was a testing of an old external speaker, which i connected to the phones audio jack (and which did not work but did crackling sounds).
I am sure its not a software issue, as I allready reflashed PA3.99 and also returned to 4.1.2 and 4.3 stock rom. What I can say is, that the phone is running quietly well and fast, WiFi, internet, all. But: If I run something with a sound, e.g. tapping on the loudness controll or even starting mp3 or youtube it becomes laggy and stuttering, even rebooting sometimes.
My last workaround was to connect a bluetooth headset to have an "external soundcard" but i still get no sound at all and it becomes to lag.
In my opinion, the soundchip of the device was grilled by using the damaged external speakers and so it responds weirdly to signals -> generating lags on use. Do you have other ideas what could be wrong?
Now for a solution: I think, buying a new (old) mainboard on ebay and changing that part might be the best possibility. Or do you think, the damaged module is in the upper part with the audiojack and the antenna?
Thanks a lot in advance,
cmoe

I would suggest to consult a mechanic, rather than trying by yourself.

Ah, almoust forgot this:
The mechanic told me that changing one of the audio chips would cost 89€. Changing both chips would cost 130€.
I got a new (used) mainboard for 50€, changed it and everything is working well (including all those reidculous data not wiped on the new chip ;P)
Greetings!

Will you stop posting this around. I have yet to see one where you have read and understood the OP Then posting something that is actually useful for the OP and the problem.
