Does it uses v1.0, v1.1 or v2.0 ?
Thanks.
almost 100% 1.1
since no new devices are 1.0
and making it 2.0 would be a waste since the xda2 is by no means fast enough even to be limited by 1.1 and surdenly not anywhere near 480Mb speeds
Hi
Using T-Mobile (UK) on the Stirling/Bannockburn transmitter...
Just changed to a Hermes from a Universal because I bought a umpc and no longer needed somet the size of the universal.
On the universal, I was seeing downloads of around 300Kbit/sec and uploads of about 100Kbit
On the Hermes with HSDPA enabled (I assume) I get downloads of between 700 and 1000Kbit/sec with uploads at 300Kbit/sec
Both the above measured with http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed/jisok=1
Pleased --> Yes indeed I am - a worthwhile speed increase
But
When I connect to the hermes via bluetooth from a laptop (using hermes as a modem), I am only seeing 300Kbit (both upstream and downstream). Both devices have bluetooth 2.0 (EDR).
On the universal I used to see the same speeds over bluetooth as on the device its-self (although I realise that my laptop speeds with the hermes exceed my universal speeds!)
Does HSDPA only work when the connection comes from the device its-self (rather than via bluetooth)??
Is there some kind of issue with bluetooth that slows things down? would USB prove to be faster?
The laptop has the option of fitting an HSDPA module, but I never went for this because it would also have meant paying for two contracts!
On the whole, I like the form factor of the hermes and dont really miss the keyboard/screen of the universal esp now I have a umpc.
Only critisism of the hermes would be that its not exactly production quality. Compared to my universal its very buggy. Guess thats just the products immaturity - its certaining no more buggy than my universal was on day 1.
Maybe HTC will eventually replace the universal - I got fed up with waiting and my old contract ended. The chap in the t-mobile shop showed me pics of t-mobiles forthcoming take on the HTC athena (think thats what its called - the one with the detatchable keyboard... but that's hardly a replacement for the universal.
Anyone had any experiences with using hermes on t-mobile (UK) over bluetooth as a modem from a laptop, please reply!

i cant get over 350k using bluetooth to desktop either.
Tytn has bluetooth 2.0,but NO EDR, maybe that is y.
when i use USB to desktop, i can get around 550k.
Hi
Looking at the modems for both USB and Bluetooth, the baud rate appears to be 115,200. In ControlPanel-->Modems.
This is the baud-rate limit for the hardware
If you get up the properties for your dialup account, and look at the modem properties from there, then you can select ~900Kbit. Unfortunately this does not alter the hardware port restrictions.
Of course, the speeds we are seeing are better than is poss over 115,200 anyway...
I find the USB modem thing very hit and miss - it only works properly where there are no other modems present otherwise, if the dial-up account cannot find the usb com port it just changes it to something else.
Other problems I have with the hermes are that sometimes it refuses to connect from the laptop at all (requiring a soft reset). Hopefully a new rom will fix this - this problem did not exist on my trusty universal.

helmi_c has been kind enough to create a kitchen for the HTC Apache for the Apache commnity to play with. We have a working 3.3 that helmi gave to us and we are playing around with the helmi's BA 3.5 kitchen (OS and LOC) files trying to get 3.5 working on the Apache. ImaCokeMan believes that the usb support is the last hurdle.
I do not know enough about the other HTC devices to know which ones might use the same usb chipset (maybe all the more recent ones do?) or how to isolate the 3.5 usb drivers.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Has anyone got their herald working with Blackberry Connect 4.0?
I am looking at purchasing one but I would like to know it works with Connect 4.0. It must be v4.0 as we use AES for the encryption so previous versions of BBC won't work as they use 3DES.
Thanks,
I recently brought a Bluetooth USB Adapter, and i've installed the software on there, which was IVT BlueSoleil 5.0. (uses Integrated System Solution Corp.(ISSC) Chip)
It says the adapter has 6 services. It says the adapter supports Bluetooth Advanced Audio Service which im not sure what this is.
However the icon for Bluetooth Headset/Microphone is grayed out. (Which i guess the USB Adapter doesn't support it)
It says on the box, it should support Bluetooth Headset.... how do i enable this?
The bluetooth adapter is compliant to bluetooth 2.0
I want to be able to use the Headset function, which will allow me to use my bluetooth hand-free on my PC....
If its simply the adapter doesn't support it, then is there any ways to force it to support? or how would i be able to find an adapter that does support it?
Which profile will i exactly need to be able to do this?
Also is there any other software i can use to get this thing to work?
Maybe you can let windows install the default microsoft bluetooth driver?
just remove the blusoleil driver. But i must say that most of the time, the microsoft driver is a lot worse than other drivers.
