will upgrading IPL/SPL help?

[filip_heens]

Sorry that I post this here under this title, but I think that it is on it's place here.
I have a Qtek9100 (G4) with IPL/SPL 2.17.001 GSM 02.25.11 and OS 4.0.0.0.
I can connect this phone to my bluetooth device but when I get a call from someone. I only get the number without the + in front of it...
(hope you understand it e.g. I get 32474123456 instead of +32474123456)
According to Pioneer the Qtek is the problem, but I can connect without any problems to a Parot3100. Another phone (e.g a Nokia) has the same problems... But anyway, Pioneer says it's the Qteks fault...
Do you think upgrading the IPL/SPL will upgrade the Bluetooth? AND is it possible to upgrade the IPL/SPL on a G4 device? (I've read a lot of stories about bricking your device, so...)

thanks in advance for all the help

If you choose certain specific Carrier ROMs such as the German T-mobile AKU3.3 ROM then you CAN upgrade a G4's IPL/SPL as these new upgrades cater for both G4s and G3s. However this is unlikely to affect the performance of your bluetooth - the only 2 things I think that could possibly benefit a general user are a faster boot up (marginally if possible) or ability to upgrade to a newer ROM. I don't advice upgrading till absolutely necessary - especially any method using shell tool of Vista.

I agree that you want to leave the IPL/SPL alone if you have a G4 phone. That does not mean you can't upgrade the OS or radio roms to improve things, just means you need to look around (quite a bit) and learn what it means before you start doing anything.
