Challenge for you.

Hi first thing I will say is this is not for XDA but for SPV E200. I am aware this is an XDA forum but after seeing some of the things you guys have been able to do with the XDA ROM/OS I thought I would ask if anyone in here could help with this problem due to the similarity of the devices and the fact that they are made by the same company, HTC.

I have posted this originally in a Modaco forum for Smarphones but noone is technically capable enough to help.

If you could read the link below and reply if you think you are up to the challenge of hacking the SPV to get rid of this extremely annoying "complete lack of bluetooth range in headset mode" problem.

Hi,

It is really hard to come up with something because I have no idea about your device ;)

Try to contact your brand reseller and ask him for system updates, or check forums that are dedicated to your device for such updates. System updates can usually resolve such issues in 70% of cases

Try to minimize 3rd party software usage and check your devices again

Try Pocket Bluetooth Tools (both versions; check for url at xda-dev frontpage)

Try to change your coat/case/cover because it might have BT radio frequency reducing effect ;)

The hardware is HTC, just like the XDA.
The reseller is Orange and they are bringing out the C500 to replace it as they have given up on the E200.
Orange have no intention on bringing out any more fixes for the unit.

All I need is for the power to be increased in the bluetooth transmitter when it is in headset mode.

What I propose to you is to check different upgrades:

... all of them claim about BT functionality improvements

[t12345uk]

They all have better functionality as in they work with more headsets, but none of them increases the range.

I am on the latest Orange E200 UK release currently. I have scoured the web for a fix and found nothing, hence my last ditch attempt to see if someone can hacl the phone.

And what about other e200 users? Do they have the same problem?

You don't need any hack. If you use your BT headset in BT discoverable mode, then BT radio works at a maximum transmission rate, if in usual BT on mode, then BT transmission is adjusted to the environment (bonded devices)
