LG Style-i : constant reconnects ?

[jstimson]

I've received a used LG Style-i in hopes of having a decent bluetooth headset with good sound quality.

I've run into an issue that others have mentioned in different posts....

The Style-i loses it's connection and reconnects very frequently. And every time it reconnects it pulls up the voice dialer on the phone.

I have an HTC Advantage x7501 (WM6).

Has anybody found a solution to this?

I did not have the reconnect/connect issue (unless I walked out of range and then returned), but yes the voice dialer activation was a pain in the ass.

I removed the ssdamon from startup and hacked the registry to it was disabled and then installed ms voice command and problem solved. But everytime I hard reset, the problem returned...

the best solution is to install a rom without the cyberon crap voice dialer...see the black rom..it does not come with a voice dialer.

No constant reconnects here - occasionally loses the connection but its the same with eth Athena and all headsets I have tried so far....

I put up with the occasional 'SAY COMMAND...' and 'GOODBYE...' in that innocuous accent as i think the Cyberon dialler is more flexible than the MS one....

I don't get any reconnection issues, but my problem with it is that after upgrading to the new WM6 I can't seem to get Speed Dial to work from the handset any more except (weirdly) for speed dial #1, voicemail, which still works fine.

Does/did anyone else have this issue, and if so how did you solve it? Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem. I wonder if they are defective?:confused:

I just bought on eBay one silver OEM i-Style... where did you get yours? I'm becoming afraid.

I have bought two silver (Verizon Branded) and two Black (LG Branded), all from e-Bay. I use one daily with Athena, two are used by my sons, one with an HTC Universal one with a Wizard. Fourth was sold to a friend of my son's for use with the TM Wing. All are using WM6, the Athena and the Uni use Jetware Mobile BT extension 1.31. The others did not need it. Athena uses Cyberon VC, while the Uni and the Wing use MS VC 1.6. Other than the 'say command' on first connect, there are no issues with dropping connections or other annoyances. You can see in my signature which ROM's are in use. (the WING is running PDAVIET's modified Touch ROM)

I'm afraid I got mine on ebay too. :( I'm hoping I can fiddle around with some settings and solve the problem. It does make me wonder, though since some folks aren't having any problems. my advantage has the latest rom on it, too.

I haven't been able to find anything on the web about warranty work on the style-i. When I do a search on the lg site, it says it can't find any matching products??? I've searched under "style-i" and " "hbm-700" Any thoughts on this? Mine is supposedly new, and I thought I'd try to get a replacement under the warranty.

I'm going to try and pair it with my wife's cheapo LG CU400 cell phone and see if it has the same problems. Maybe then I'll know if it's the device or some conflict with the HTC software.

When I researched the LG Style-I, it seems that is is an orphan product. It was a very clever notion, conceived when cell phones were a bit bigger and there were no sleek and slender phones like the RAZR. By the time LG designed, tested, built and launched it, small phones totally passed it by.

Most folks look at it and say, "Why do I need it?" Well, with so many small phones out there to choose from, they don't need it, so Verizon and LG dumped the product on to the close-out market and cut their losses after one large production run (I am guessing). We who have bricks for phones PDA's), need to get them now if we want them, 'cause once they're gone, it's back to the earpieces. If your e-bay source was a cellphone shop, you may get a replacement/exchange. If not, you probably won't find a warranty anywhere, certainly not Verizon on the Silvers and not from LG on the Black ones.

I don't want to mention the eBay shop until I receive and test the Style-I.

As soon as I received and tested I will let you know the results and the name of the shop.

I tried the style-i with my wife's cheapo phone and it did the same thing. It must be some kind of design flaw that's present a specific run of the chips. too bad, because it seems to be a great idea for the advantage. however, I'm reluctant to chance buying another, knowing it might be bad again.

Mine worked perfectly with WM5 before I upgraded, I can't imagine it failed at exactly the same time I moved to WM6. I'm just not clever enough to know how to work out *why* it stopped being able to speed-dial (save for the VoiceMail speed-dial, which still works) - but presumably it's the new OS, not the Style-i.

Hi,

I have a t-mobile ameo with the HTC official wm6 rom and have no problems

with connection or voice commands....once connected and paired

I just say the contact name and it dials no probs

[Deiota]

my problem is that when i pair the style-i with x7500, it auto starts the cyberon voice dial....
after paired, i have no problems at all...
best regards
deiota

I can connect and pair OK, and I still get to use the Style-i to take incoming calls, it's just making calls with keypad Speed Dial (not Voice Dialling) since upgrading to WM6 (as I said, except to voicemail) which has stopped.

[timpollard]

Heh! So I upgrade to the PK Black Touch ROM and suddenly my Style-i works *perfectly* again - guess it was some basic incompatibility with the HTC WM6 BT implementation.

Anyway, I'm happy again (nice ROM too)!

This combination seems to be working A-OK together. I just got my LG Style-i from ebay seller "cmgwireless". It is Verizon branded and came with everything except a retail package (including lanyard, earbud, wall charger, and documentation). I would recommend anyone looking for a Style-i buy from him.
