Nokia carkit problems - P3300, MDA Compact III Accessories

Hi I have a Nokia CK-7W carkit and it alway worked great (with nokia phones).
Now with the Artemis i can get an connection but the quality is very very very bad....
It seems like the connection is half-duplex or something. When both parties talk the call get's very bad. Also the sound is very low.
Anybody having the same problem?

had exactly the same problem with the Nokia kit and my Hermes.
Ended up ripping it out and getting this:

sound quality is great now!.

This is probably a better link t use, IMHO http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=140719

Actually there is a $0 fix that works fine:

delete the registry entries that refer to the kit.

BMW Driver's Please help

Hi guys,
Just found this forum and it looks great. Anyhow, i'm the middle of buying my first ever phone/pda and have decided to go for the TMobile MDA III/xda iii.
I have one major issue that needs answering prior to buying it and hopefully someone here might be able to assist.
I drive a 320d sport touring 2004 model, this has the standard bmw business tape player but also has the Bluetooth Phone option installed by factory, currently it works like a dream with my Nokia 6310i.
So, my questions is, Does anyone know if the mda iii would work in my car.
I have tried many BMW forums including bmwland/e46fans etc etc and no one can give me a answer, i have also checked the X5 forum however its not listed on there list.
I hope someone can assist as its the only thing holding me back on buying the unit.
Thanks to all.

Well I would say to give it a go, there shouldnt be any reason why it wouldnt work. If it didn't work and you bought it from an o2 shop you always have 14 days return guarantee. I have a BMW 7 series but didnt go for the bluetooth option as I have the wired factory telephone kit fitted but just give it a go.

No waY. The MDA III does not work reliably with BMW bluetooth. I've spend hours patching the darn thing. Sometimes it works, most times it doesnt. Somethings badly screwed up here.
stick the widcomm bluetooth drivers on the phone, I bet ur using the crappy microsoft bluetooth stack!
I had the Xda IIs working in an X5 with the standard BT kit, although it occasionally decides to disconnect. No such luck with the iDrive version of BMWs BT kit, pairs up but doesn't work at all. I can't really recommend it for use with a beamer, maybe after the first ROM update is released!
From previous posts on here I'd say the MDA version of the phone has even worse BT so definitely don't go there!
thanks for the reply guy's.
have decided to go for it anyway as i need somethng like a phone / pda.
Cheers

Making a TyTn "look" like a phone over Bluetooth?

The reason behind the question is that I want to pair a Tytn with the new Mercedes Bluetooth kit. Unfortunately, the Mercedes kit searches for devices which identify themselves as Phones - rather than Pocket PC's and so it ignores the Tytn completely. Does anyone know of a way to hack the TyTn to make it show up as a Phone?
same problem here with the Volvo car kit (apparently is a Motorolla kit).
any ideas are appreciated.

Bluetooth HANDS FREE PROFILE

Hi All,
For anyone else having the same problem as me with WM6 and Hands Free Profile on their expensive car kit, i've dug around and found this works a treat.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
Now I can get caller info, initiate hands free voice calling and handle the calls from my car kit rather than having to look at my phone while driving
Unfortunately not free, but at $14.99 its cheaper and easier than buying another handset that does have HFP.
I did see that WM6 Business edt may have HFP enabled by default, but every rom i've tried so far didn't, so this is a good stop gap.

Bluelooth headsets that actually work (Orbit)

Hello,
I would Welcome advise on which bluetooth headsets people use with their orbit.
I currently have a Motorola HS850 which although does connect to the orbit, does not transmit any sounds. (except for a beep to say its connected !)
So anyone who has a Orbit running the o2 WM6 and actually has a working bluetooth headset to make calls on I would appreciate knowing about, thanks.
Steeve,
We've tested the QStarz range on the entire current HTC range and O2 range and they all work fine. The BHQ-360 is popular and cheap.

Hope that helps.

How to increase MIC GAIN in the rhodium ?

Hi.
Somehow my AT&T Rhodium has a VERY LOW mic gain. It shows in very low audio when I use the phone (I listen OK, the third parties do hear me very low).
If I use the voice recorder, the recordings have very low audio level as well.
Now I have an Energy ROM, but the problem is the same if I go back to the shipped AT&T ROM.
Anyone can help me out in boosting the mic gain ?
Thanks in advance.
David.-
i would say your MIC is broken. as you already pointed out. it's not a radio problem and it's not a rom problem. There suppose to be two mikes in rhodium, for the echo cancellation. maybe one of them is dead. mike is not an expensive thing, but you need to search for it, find out what type is it and get similar. I think if you will go search for rhodium microphone, it would be more costly.
the third parties do hear me very low

btw. third parties on a phone call... you mean those people monitoring your calls? it's nice of you to want them to hear properly.
sorry, I couldn't resist
Not a good solution

Hi.
First, sorry for my english flaws. I´m not a native english speaker (my native language is spanish).
I do live in Chile, and around here there is ZERO possibility to get a replacement mic. I can easily import one from the states, if I find one, but so far I have not found it, so I thought a software increase in the gain may at least solve part of the problem (at least meanwhile).
Thanks.
David.-
the joke wasn't about the language, but sorry anyway.
Your english is pretty alright. Mine isn't any better.
My idea was more about getting a mike from an old phone. In a mobile repair shop maybe. Microphone is a generic part. If it will fit by size, it will quite for sure work ok.
don't bother with headset's mics as they are far too big
And as rhodium microphones would be for sure overpriced, I was suggesting you to find out what kind of mike rhodium have, and get a replacement which will fit. Like if you go to mobile shop, they probably would know. then you can get e.g. mic from sonyericsson, anyway if it was kaiser I would say it would fit SE mic. But rhodium I didn't have opened yet.
And don't search "rhodium" but "pro2" as rhodium is chemical element and you'll get rhodium made mikes instead
As for making it lauder, I don't think that's quite possible for 2 reasons.
As you can't amplify digital audio signal, it has to come on maximum level you would use, while still analog, from before A/D so that the dsp can regulate the level from 0 (for maximum) down to whatever -12db. Means it can't go lauder and analog part is on max always. That's the easiest setup. I am not saying it's like that in rhodium, but even if not, second reason is, the phone has an AGC (auto gain control) and that would rise the level itself if it could.
