WM6 and bleutooth carkit

[daupers]

Hello,

Just upgraded to WM6 using the official Palm upgrade (TREO750-2.23-RWE).
The Treo is unbranded and came with WM5, also an RWE ROM.
The most important issue I currently have is terrible bluetooth interaction with my car-kit. Pairing is OK, I can start or receive a call, but there is no sound. Before, with WM5 I had no issues.

Setup:
- Treo 750
- WM6 (TREO750-2.23-RWE)
- Pegeuot RD4 radio with integrated bluetooth

Any solution? Or should I downgrade to WM5? If so, how should I downgrade?

Your help is most welcome!

David

Odd... With both the Treo 750 running WM5, I had the same problem. Basically, the first 30-60 seconds of a call wouldn't sound on either the handset, or the speakers over the bluetooth connection. This was always for the first call after getting in the car. To get around it, I would get in, start up the car, and call my voicemail. Once I could hear the call on the speakers, usually 30 seconds later, I would hang up. I could then make and receive calls normally.

After upgrading to WM6, incoming calls would occasionally be very low volume. I would have to hang up and call the person back. This also happens with WM6 on my AT&T Tilt.

No fix for that one....

daupers,

Just curious that this might be related. Can you post what radio version you ended up with after the upgrade to WM6?

Yesterday I sent an email to drop the issue at Palm, since I used the official upgrade on an official pristine Treo. I still have to receive an answer.
I'm wondering if I ever will receive an answer that will resolve my issue.
Did anybody else on this forum ever get help from Palm?

Im heaving simmilar problems with Treo 750 WM5 and Toyota original BT-HF. Repatedly the connection is established, but then lost (without warning) - and then you get no sound (or an odd "interferrence " sound). I switch the BT off, then on, connect it again and it (usually) works fine. I assume it has smthng to do with the BT firmware. No other solution so far.

Can anybody provide me with a link to an WM5 RWE ROM for the Treo 750 (Cheetah)?

Thanks

I did some searching and so far I discovered the following.
WM 5 supports bluetooth 1.2.
WM 6 supports bluetooth 2.0, which should be backwards compatible with 1.2.
The carkit supports 1.2, but I'm not sure if it supports 2.0.
It looks like a compatibility issue, caused by the upgrade.
Could this be the source of the problem?

The hardware in the 750 supports 1.2 only, WM6 is backwards compatible with 1.2. Any device that supports 2.0 will be backwards compatible with 1.2. I just upgraded to the AT&T official WM6 build and am still having the same problems as always with my Moto HF850, no voice command, only get one working connection before the bond fails and I get no audio. *sigh*

I have the same problems Treo 750V 2.18-VFE with WM6.
Car: Citroen C4 with integrated bluetooth radio.

My car connects fine to the Treo, however when I make a call or answer a call 9 out of 10 times I have no sound. Currently I have to use the wired headset.... While I have no sound the connection is intact and I cannot use the Treo itself without cancel bluotooth from the menu.

I can read the indexes of the phone, make calls by using car functionality but no sound. Also when I have sound most of the time it's after ten seconds.

Since yesterday I also have no ringer sound anymore. Palm Support gave me an update but it's not for my ROM version.

I'm affraid I have to ask Palm to swap the phone again. Currently this is number 3:-( within a few months

Hi everybody, surprisingly, after upgrade to WM6, my BT connection with toyota original handsfree started to work, I haven´t had a single "lost connection" since. Why is that I don´t know... :) Just to let U know - More lucky than the others...

I Received my fourth Treo last week. I now have ringer sound again (for now).
However I still have the sound problems with using my carkit.

My car connects fine to the Treo, however when I make a call or answer a call 9 out of 10 times I have no sound.:mad: :mad:

I get the same problem with an Orange SPV M3100 (HTC TYTN) and by factory fitted bluetooth kit in my Citroen C4... It's fine using the latest Orange WM5 ROM, but upgrading to WM6 stops the car kit from working, (connects, but no sound). I asked my Citroen dealer and they advised it was a known issue with 'high end phones like Nokia running Symbian, etc'. They had no idea about when a fix might be available.

[reyjabs]

Install the sound fix. That's what is there for.:D

[T39andcounting]

What sound fix? Can you post a link, or let me know where it is?

[HJH]

Support also advised me to install the sound fix.
However it only work for lower rom versions.
When you install WM6 You will have a higher rom version.
The sound fix should allready be in WM6.

I think I'll try to contact Citroen about this...
