Hi, this is my very first Note (#1) I was using in my car as dedicated GPS-dashcam since the Sim card reader broke years ago.
I just got one bluetooth OBD dongle for my car what needs updated-latest droid version to pair, and wondering now if I can still keep alive this old Note with a decent screen size and resolution.
Years ago somehow I load Padavan 6.2 and never thought about coding anymore so I need to educate myself again.
Can someone help me please with links to downloads and instructions whatever needed me to refresh this unit. I won't use it as a phone, only as a screen to diagnose my cars behaving so its pretty much the OS and bluetooth/wireless what shall be stable...
Thanks in advance

I have the thing basically working. I am also getting a Vox 710s to try as well.
My primary concern at this point is auto connect. I am a consultant and get in an out of the car a lot. So it is pointless if I have to click the stereo 6 times each time I get in. I need the thing to just work. I may return the deck if I can't get it too work.
So I need to find out where the failure is. Then I can pursue it with the manufacturer. Why can't this stuff just work?
So if I find a bluetooth headset that does auto connect to the phone do you think that is enough I can't got to pioneer and say the problem is your deck?
If the head set doesn't auto connect which I find hard to believe then I can work with jetware or cingular to see what is up. I am guessing it is the deck.
Thoughts
opps
phone is a cingular 8125 up to date roms running the latest Jetware.
another poster on crutchfeild says tmobile dash does autoconnect
does this narrow down the cause?
I spent over a month working with Pioneer and Jetware with an AVIC Z2 GPS unit with Pioneer's ND-BT1 adapter. In the end, I had to pull the Z2 and installed a Kenwood. Pioneer tech Support finally admitted that they suffer problems with nearly all PDA type phones, especially when they 'sleep'. Seems the connection is dropped nearly as fast as it is made and the devices won't stay connected. Mine dropped EVERY call when the backlight went out after 60 seconds of non-pda use. If i set time timer up to 5 minutes, it dropped the call when the PDA went to sleep. Leaving the PDA on all of the time of course drained the battery.
My wife now has the HTC Touch in her car with the AVIC Z2 and the ND-BT1, however, the problem isn't there. Pioneer has come out with a 'Service' upgrade program for the Z2 and the Touch uses a newer WM6 version. The two seem to be compatible.
thanks for the insight
Having just read the mk6000 review I don't feel so bad. I was wondering how well as system between your speakers and you deck would work.
That said I ordered an unlocked 710 (vox) to test out with wm6 and bt 2.
I am hoping this will work. Do you think I will still need Jetware?

Try it first without Jetware. It is now with at 30 day free trial and limited features but good enough to test once you get your new unit. If you find out that you need it, then register it.
I have had a Pioneer DEH-P9800BT for many months now, and I am getting sick of having to click 6 times to connect the phone. You would think that the stupid thing could perform the same thing when you turned on the car/stereo. I wish I could get a firmware update or something to fix it.
Replace your Pioneer with the one of the Sonys (MEX-5000BT if you need preouts, MEX-2500BT if you don't). I've been using the 5000 since January -- once I did the initial pairing, it connects every time both in handsfree & A2DP.
Hi everybody.
I've read at a couple of places that the Hero does not include any sim / phonebook remote access profiles which means I cannot sync my contacts with my Parrot CK3100 car kit.
I'm wondering if anyone knows why HTC would have removed this profile from their build when it was working perfectly as part of the standard cupcake build.
And also whether it is likely that HTC will reinstate this profile through future updates?
Speculation or definite answers welcome!
I'm also having this problem, as well as getting the phone to automatically reconnect when the phone and handset find eachother. Any body any ideas?
Ask Google why they STILL haven't added a full BT stack. It's the same for both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic aswell. UNLESS you wander the way of the rooters ofcourse. Then you will be able to use all those nifty little tools only the rooters can use.
I think that Google is a little bit slow on this subject tbh. But then again I have no idea of what they prioritize either. Maybe they have a BT stack but they feel it has some serious security issues? ONLY Google knows. Well... a couple of XDA's hardcore hackers might know too... isn't Haykuro around somewhere?
I have rooted my phone (yesterday). Can anyone suggest any tools that may help with this? Appreciate any help anyone cab give!
no problems here
hello i have just got my hero and im still learning the in's and outs of the device as i have come from a WM device, but have loads of success so far.
I have a in car bluetooth system and i have no problems with connecting, and searching my sim card for contacts.
The problem i do have though is that it will not read my phone contacts just the sim.
Its not a big problem as i on a regular basis back up the phone memory to the sim anyway in case i have to switch phones.
Im not sure why you guys are having problems but im happy to help in anyway.
I haven't rooted my device as i see no reason to just yet its all stock, and runs like a dream.
I have a ford mondeo with the STD sony system in it if that helps, oh and it connects as soon as i get in the vehicle
I think I may have cracked this:
I stuck a random contact on my SIM card, the Parrot handsfree now finds all of the contacts on the phone, and automatically links to the phone when in proximity. Odd, but adding that contact seems to have unlocked remote sim access.
Give it a try!
same here ... added one contact onto my sim, then full access to contacts!
Works very well with the Land Rover Bluetooth PTI (designed by Nokia as it happens). Full contact list navigation on the stereo head unit.
I am having a similar issue with an in car BT head unit. I have a Pioneer DEH-P7100BT. I have had problems connecting the hero to this. It starts contacts download and stops at contact number 14 for some reason. I have tried to delete the 14th contact but still gets stuck at 14. I have all my contacts backed up on the sim as well.
It is also proving to be an issue automatically connecting to the head unit when I get into the car. I resolve that by switching the BT off and then on again, then it connects OK. Not ideal.
The wifey has an Iphone 3GS and that connects to the unit every single time. No connection issues at all.
The BT Audio option works a charm with both the Hero and the 3GS. I usually play Last FM and Imeem over 3G and stream via BT to the head unit, pretty cool over all, if only I could sort out the connection issues with the HERO.
I just got the hero a couple of days ago, and although I am loving it, I really cant stand the lag in absolutely everything. I am having problems even accepting calls sometimes as it realises I have just clicked the receive call button after 10 seconds or so.

Mine does it the opposite way - reads the phone memory and not the sim memory. It's taken me 2 days to complete changing the profiles of people so far as I couldn't figure out why active sync wasn't working.
hello, I am running the current public release at the time of this post(v1.1). I have a Jabra SP700 bluetooth FM speaker for my car. I am uncertain if this is a fault of the rom or the hardware of my bluetooth speaker. I am leaning more towards the bluetooth but I figured I would ask the community.
I play music through this to my car stereo. Frequently the bluetooth drops the audio connection at random times. The phone and speaker say the X2 is connected, but the audio ceases. Within a minute the sound will play through the phone speaker not the bluetooth. Then the bluetooth will say "disconnected" and begin searching to reconnect. My X2 will state the bluetooth is still connected. In order for me to get the phone connected, I need to power off the bluetooth then disable and reenable bluetooth on the X2.
I believe this has happened with previous versions, ive been using eclipse since it started. Although I cannot remember if it works correctly with the bluetooth bone stock.
I am leaning towards the bluetooth since the bluetooth is about 2 years old now...but I was wondering if anybody used a similar bluetooth piece and experienced similar issues. Thanks!!
Ok guys. Let's try this thread over.
Anyone want to help this gentleman? We're not going to argue or derail. If you can't help this guy, don't respond.
OP, search while you wait for an answer.
There is a known issue with the bluetooth function on 1.1
I had heard people saying that with the newest ((1.2rc3)) that the issue had been fixed.
I don't use bluetooth do I cannot confirm but that might be the issue
I didn't think that older BTdevices would become "obsolete" . I thought any newer phones that support bluetooth would encompass all older BTdevices not exclude them. I can see an older phone not connecting to newer bluetooth but not older bluetooth not connect to newer phone.
Nitro tweeted that the new eclipse final should be out tomorrow. Hr has known about the bluetooth bug for a while so I am sure it was a priority fix.
It is possible tho that there is something faulty with your bluetooth device. Have you tried contacting the manufacturers of it to see if that is a known problem with that device? They may be able to help troubleshoot it also.
Thanks ash. As usual you are helpful and nice the speaker is way out of warranty. Ive owned it for 2 years. The battery os startong to go too. I never doubted the compatibility of the speaker...just the performance. It has acted odd in the past. I did not notice an issue initially with the X2. Since it started acting up i was pretty sure it was the bluetooth just showing its age and starting to malfunction. Well at least i do not have to buy anothee speaker just yet

Even if it is out pf warranty they may be the type of company who is willing to repair or help with problems just to keep your loyalty to their products. Who knows you may be able to talk them into a rebate on new product or a coupon or something . Might be worth a shot. Just be site you tell them you promote the product to people you know and in forums you post in. I have been looking for either a wired or bluetooth speaker for my x2 and not sure what to go with. . I saw one in the VZW store I
that looked nice but $199 is a bit steep for a speaker for me lol
And it seems like any other speaker I find (wired or bluetooth) is labeled do I ipod /iphone etc... im thinking the wired would work okay((headphones jack type)) but am not willing to shell out the 50$ that ill only get back in store credit for opened electronic in a store I barely shop at lol. Im sure ill find something sometime and ur post introduced me to a different one to look into. Curious if new eclipse final will fix your problems. Good luck.
Its odd that it will work for a while and then cut off. Wonder if it may be the "receiver " in the device not working correctly. Maybe something wiggled loose. Might be worth taking it apart((if possible) and checking where things connect to each other it giving it a wipe down and clean it up. Maybe dirt is interfering with something inside due to its age.
Or IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU USED IT TO MUCH FOR WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR AND IT IS DEAD NOW ...lol j/k...im sure something can be done to fix it if it isn't eclipse that is causing the problem. ..its just a matter of is it worth the time to fix or buy a new one..
It is all my fault!!!! Haha. Well that is an idea....maybe i will try. If i can make a suggestion, the droid roadster is pretty cool. Works well and is user friendly! I tested it for a while and liked it.

I have a bluetooth earpiece that I use with my old Razr and it works fine with my DX2 so I don't think age has much to do with compatibility. Wear and tear probably plays more of a factor.
I do pair my DX2 with my Touchpad (WebOS, not when booted in CM7) and I can make calls great on the TP but because the default bluetooth.dun is missing from Eclipse I can send sms with my TP. Not an issue but something to consider if you are shopping and comparing specs to see if you nifty new devices will work with your phone. The devs pull out the blur and bloat because that is what we want but it can change how devices talk to each other.
I have a set of moto rokr hd headphones that I use all the time and I have had this exact same issue with eclipse. The phone still says it has a connection but no audio is playing through my headphones. The only way to correct the issue is to turn off the headphones and turn off bluetooth on the phone and restart them both. It will happen completely at random times. Sometimes I will use them for a couple hours before it hours, but sometimes only 15 min. Its def eclipse, I don't think moto headphones have a compatability issue with a moto phone
Hi guys, wonder can anyone help me. I purchased a dock for the G Tablet from a company in Chine a few months ago. I only got round to trying it out recently and the results where not good.
The dock charges the G Tablet when the PSU is connected to it, but that is all that it does. The USB port does not work, the pens light up but the G Tab does not see them.
The network port does not do any thing when a cable is plugged in.
The HDMI also does not do anything.
I have tried it with several different versions of Android including the T&T that was on the G Tab originally.
Am I missing something ? Do I need to install certain software of certain Abroid version ?.
It wouldn't usually bother me but the dock cost me over £35 and I do not want to purchase another until I am sure this one does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Keep up the great work, I love this site and have tried almost every new OS that has been put on it
No specific software should have to be installed. It's supposed to just work, so I'm thinking that it's bad hardware.

it2Steve did a very detailed review of this dock. The thread has been around for almost a year and has a lot of information if you take some time to read up on it.
Dock review
So I am an idiot, I jumped the gun and bought the new Droid Turbo. Thinking it was the latest and greatest etc etc I grabbed it, only to find out later, it does not have HDMI/MHL. It never even crossed my mind, I just assumed HDMI/MHL was standard these days, Every other phone I have had has had it. So my predicament. I use an AppRadio in my car, Cant stand the regular radio and I have been in love with the radio for almost 2 years (i think) but without having HDMI, I can not use the appradio with this new phone. I use the AppRadio Unchained mod that is posted here, or did use it I should say. I think I vaguely remember reading about some people using a cast type device to wirelessly hook up their phone to the radio. My question is, if i use a device like miracast, or what not, will it work like I have installed an HDMI cable, and will I still be able to use the touch functions of the radio, or am I going to need to rethink my purchase and possibly return the phone? Wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this or not. Thanks in advance.
