Hi all
My colleague has recently got a Orange SPV M3100 here in the UK and is
having loads of little problems with it. I myself have an XDA II Mini S and
don't appear to have simlar troubles.
The bluetooth seems very unreliable and he has tried different headsets. I
personall don't use a BT headset
There are many strange problems on the phone like when an SMS arrives and
you goto view it sometime you cannot open the message in the Inbox
application. tapping it several times makes no difference. you can however
close the inbox app so the device does not appear to have "locked". I've
never had this on my XDA
Sometimes the right hand side of the onscreen keyboard stops working. you
still get the key tap sound but back space/enter etc do not work. I have had
this on my xda about once or twice in twelve months but the SPV seems to do it quite often.
A soft reset tempoarily cures these and other strange problems. apart from
BT
I do notice that in poor signal strength areas these devices seem to
'struggle' and I assume this is because the phone module MUST take priority
over all other functions and the device appears to 'freeze' for a few
seconds. This does seems to effect mine from time to time.
All i'm really asking are these common faults with the SPV M3100 ? I'm just
trying to narrow down if this is a one off dodgy device or the Orange front
end software is quite buggy ? or thats just the way these TyTn devices
perform. I would have expected two WM2005 devices to behave in a similar fashion.
There is no 3rd party software on the M3100 apart from the Orange suite obviously
I am a technical person but he isn't and having come form a 'proper' phone
Nokia 6310i it is driving him nuts !
Thanks in advance for any thoughts
Kind Regards

Hi,
I have a couple of questions:
1) I have a default corporate install 02 Exec and a Motorola BT H3 headset.
When the devices are all paired up, I can receive incoming calls no problem. But when I try and initiate a call from the headset by tapping it, I sometimes get a responding beep from the voice dialling software, other times not. When I don't get an audio response, the device just doesn't seem to even notice and nothing changs on the screen.
I have tried all the usual, re-pairing, reboots etc, but no luck.
I also can't pin down exactly when it does it. Sometimes I can start a call when the device is in 'standby' ie if I haven't used it for a while, other times not.
My next step is to find someones phone and test it with that and see if it is the headset or the exec.
2) My backlight does not come on when I tap the screen or a key despite having ticked the correct setting to enable this. Each time I have to press the power button.
Has anyone else had similar problems?
thanks,

Ok,
have now done a complete hard reset and a new corporate install and the BT headset is stll not working 100% of the time.
I have tested it on another phone and it works a treat there, so it is not the headset.
thanks,
/Mad
Scrap the below info. This only works if the Exec has been off for a short time. Anything longer than a couple of minutes and it doesn't switch on with a tap.
I have O2 swapping it out over the next couple of days. Let's see if these issues are widespread. but judging by the responses to my pst, I take it I am the only one having trouble?
/Mad
Ok,
With problem 2) I have found that if I do a hard reset and install as O2 rather than corporate, when I open up the device in clamshell mode the backlight comes on and if it is already open, a tap on the screen or key does switch on the backlight.
So, this particular 'issue' appears to be related to the type of install. That is it works in O2 but not in corporate mode.
Still no joy with the intermittant BT headset voice dialling.
Either way, I have O2 swapping it out over the next couple of days. Let's see if these issues are widespread

Last night I updated to the most recent O2 ROM (as per their website) and now...
it appears that the first time I press the BT headset button, nothing happens, but then on the second press it brings up the voice dial software.
I have had a damn good trawl through all the other posts about voice dialling and it seems that the first press connects the headset to the exec and the next button starts the app.
Is this correct? Anyone else had similar problems?
thanks for your time.

I had similar behaviour when I used my SonyEricsson HBH65 headset with my Exec. When I bought a Jabra BT800 suddenly my Bluetooth experience was transformed, and the combination works perfectly.
I think the latest models of headset work much better with the Exec than those a year or two old.
Maybe this helps. Hope so.
Thanks for your reply.
I took my BT headset back to the shop today and got them to try a jabra (don't know which version) it still wasn't bringing up the voice dial software every press.
Spoke to O2 support today and they admitted that BT is flakey on the Exec and that it is a known fault with HTC.
Oh well, at least it isn't just me!

I've had the XDA2, XDA2s, XDA mini, and now, (cause my mini LCD is having a problem) I'm thinking of getting the Atom Exec, but after reading this forum, I'm a little worried.
The number 1 complaint is the humming, and the 2 complaint is bad sound phone quality.
I THINK I can live with 1 and 2 because my old Audiovox Thera made a humming and I could live with it, and I don’t use the phone that often but was wondering….
1} Does the humming go away if the screen is powered off? If you are on a phone call and are running an app like PhoneAlarm and it powers off the screen, do you STILL hear a humming?
2} Can anyone compare the phone quality to the iMate JAM for example, (or any of the above phones is it better/worse/same) ??
3} Are the buttons locked down, or can programs like AEBPlus override them and allow you to assign whatever you want?
4} Has anyone found a case like this for the Atom

Should I get a Jammin instead? Please steer me in the right direction.
Bro check out the Nokia N95 you will be surprised. I returned my Atom Exec last week for refund, it had been replaced twice and still the LCD squeals like crazy
don't bye - too expensive
Thanks, I ended up buying the Jammin, just hearing/reading about too many problems with the Atom, too bad though.
Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
The HTC P6500 model has a strange bug.
It turns down the sound automatically, but the indicators show that the sound is still on.
This happens under varied conditions and usage, at first I thought it had to do with bluetooth, but it is not isolated to when I'm using bluetooth anymore.
The software on the PDA is as follows (besides the preinstalled software):
- TomTom 6
- Afaria Client
HTC support simply told me to uninstall 3rd party software... And denies any knowledge of any problems at all. Any better suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi -- I've noticed this problem too, though it's only happened rarely. I think I'll see this happen once every month or so -- usually I'll catch it when listening to music or watching a video; the sound will just suddenly turn all the way down; the sound icon on the bar at the screen top will show sound to still be on, but if I click on it, both sliders will be at the bottom. A soft reset always takes care of it. And the problem comes up rarely enough that I've never bothered looking for a solution.

I had same problem and fixed after upgrading with latest ROM release from HTC
I bought a TP2 a couple of weeks back; first thing I installed was Blackberry Connect (following instructions on this forum). BBC works perfectly, often pushing email out to the TP2 faster than I get it on the desktop. It's a real winner, pushes PIM info out to Pocket Informant 9 very nicely etc etc. I'm very pleased with the whole set-up.
However, I noticed that the TP2 was regularly dropping calls, both incoming and outgoing. What happens is this: when I make an outgoing call, I dial the number, the calling screen (the one with the dark grey "keypad" key and the red "end call" key) comes up briefly, there are often three quiet beeps and the phone reverts to the green phone screen (the one with recent numbers, the dial pad and the "talk" key). On an incoming call, the answer/reject screen comes up for a second or two with a ringing tone, but before I can pick up, it drops and usually goes off to voicemail. A soft reset seems to cure the problem for a short while, but I was ending up doing a dozen soft resets a day to pick up voicemails and make calls.
After BBC I had installed Kaspersky Antivirus, wondered if it was that blocking calls, turned everything off. No change.
I then suspended the BlackBerry service yesterday and used the phone with no problems (switched BBC on and off several times to check). It seems fairly clear that the BlackBerry connection is somehow interfering with the voice calls.
Any suggestions? Searching the forum hasn't produced anything. No-one on either of the two "BBC working/not working" threads here seems to have encountered this. Dropped calls seem to be an issue on some other HTC models, but no obvious solutions, apart from switching to GSM/manual frequencies. I don't know whether that's the issue here.
Apart from BBC, Kaspersky and PI9, I'm using the machine pretty much as it came out of the box: ROM is 1.19.401.1 (51489) WWE dated 22/6/09 whatever that means. I downloaded a Hotfix from HTC to correct issues with using + in SMS messages. BBC is v.106. I'm on a UK o2 corporate tariff with data and BlackBerry service.
I'm not sure if this properly belongs as a new thread - it doesn't seem to fall within any existing thread, but Moderators please move it if there's a better home.
Thanks very much.
Hi,
I have received my Rodhuim last Wednesday.
From Wedneday to yesterday, I had not problem with phone calls.
I have installed BB connect yesterday evening so I'll let you know if I have the same problem or not.

Thank you. Judging by the lack of replies, this doesn't look like a widespread problem.
Hello everyone,
I bought a Dopod D810 off ebay a couple of weeks ago and it seems to have a couple of problem.
The problems are as followed:
1) The phone speaker (the one which you use while making and recieving calls - not the main one) is really really hard to hear, i always have to use the speaker phone (loudspeaker) to hear what people are saying .. Is this a hardware problem ( i think it is because i have flashed the phone with many roms and have also upgraded the radio version)
2) The phone doesn't vibrate. Even when I put it on vibration mode, it doesn't vibrate. Is it a problem or is it just a dopod thingy (no vibration) ?
Please help
Thanks
Dear sidxda,
1. I think the internal speaker phone of D810 is normally hard to hear (especially in accepting a phone call when the bar of radio signal is low). My dopod is also deaf as yours. But it is totally different when I use headphone-set, the voice is very clearly. Because of it I look for a registry tweak that automatically activates the loudspeaker when receiving a call. My thread in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4654555
2. It should vibrate. If your phone device does not vibrate, perhaps the motor (vibrator) is malfunction and needs a replacement.
Best regards,
