So, its been quite a few months of usage now for those of us with the V600.

I was looking to get updates on how well they have been working?

Please indicate the following.

1. Is your phone OEM or which provider branded phone if it is branded.

2. Service Provider

3. Firmware and Flex

4. Pairing with the HFL.

5. Battery life.

6. Any comments on usage. Any problems? Please indicate when these problems occur.

I'll start off. Here's my info.

1. T-mobile branded

2. Cingular

3. TRIPLETS_G_0B.09.4FR
SE6446AXXF1148

4. Phone always pairs just fine with the HFL

5. I have to charge every night.

6. The phone has problems 30% of the time with incoming calls on the HFL. When I get an incoming call, the HFL will alert me with the ring, then I hit the receive button on the steering wheel and the call gets answered by the handset only. Then I have to say "Transfer" and the call is moved to the HFL. Now this is only sometimes. I don't know what causes it yet. I have been trying to figure out what conditions cause it to do this. Any ideas for a fix is appreciated.

 

I guess everyone either doesn't care or their V600's are working flawlessly.

 

1. T-Mobile branded originally, Flexed with unbranded V620 flex

2. T-Mobile

3. Flash: TRIPLETS_G_0B.09.72R, Flex: SE5109AXXXX056 (V620 flex)

4. Phone always pairs 100% of the time, no problems, ever.

5. 2 1/2 - 3 days with Bluetooth powered on. With 4FR firmware I had to charge every night.

6. With 4FR firmware a call would occasionally drop back to the handset with the message "Bluetooth Signal Low". After talking on the handset for 10-15 seconds, the call would automatically switch back to the HFL. I have not seen this yet with 72R, but I've only used the new firmware for 2 weeks.


Hukashi, I have never seen your #6 issue. When this happens, does the outside display say "Bluetooth Signal Low?" When I get this message, it is always in the middle of a call, not when I first answer. Could be related though...

 

When I get the problem, my outside display doesn't say Bluetooth signal low.

All it says is, " Connected " and then starts counting the minute usage.

I don't know what the problem is. I usually have the phone sitting out in the cup holder. My battery is also usually fully charged.

One thing though, that I think it could be is that I have been using the phone for connecting to other phones with BT and the other phones are now stored in my devices menu. Could that be the cause? I mean, the phone may be taking too long to figure out which device is trying to connect with it and then just takes the call on the phone.

I'll try deleting the old devices that I don't use often and give it a try with your 72R firmware.
