Hi,
If SE hears everything, they should here this:
my P990i and GPS receiver BT-Q 815 connects but looses conection every 10 seconds or so.
I looked on BT-Q site at FAQ and this is what they say:

"Qstarz BT-Q818/BT-Q810 is featured with Auto On-Off function (Sleeping mode) for power saving. However Nokia N73/E50 does not support Sleeping mode, so it would interrupt the Bluetooth connection when pairing with Qstarz BT-Q818/BT-Q810 GPS receiver. Nokia N73 already released new firmware V3.0649 to solve this issue. Before using Nokia N73 with BT-Q818/BT-Q810, please consult Nokia service center for latest firmware update. However Nokia E50's latest firmware hadn't resolved this issue. Qstarz will take this as first priority to work on it and announce the positive result soon. "

I assume this is the case for P990i also. Can SE implement this Auto On-Off feature so I don't have to throw out this GPS Reciver (which is quite good I can say)?
I assume that the GPS Receiver goes into Sleep Mode too fast and is awakened by TomTom with a "Try to connect"...This is happening every 10-15 seconds.
It can be solved on phone level I assume.

If SE should hear you.... GO TO THEIR FORUM AND POST IT THERE...unless you have done that already.

It is so 'strange' that many people here rant and rant and mostly no one of them actually posts over a SE forum where it is much more likely that SE reads it...

...even though I think they don't even care what's written there. In any case, it would be the better idea to post wishes and rants where SE is.

I see Esato more as a 'Helpful' Forum where you can find help and ideas. It has however become more and more that people just rant and post wish lists. For what? Are they still writing Santa Claus wish lists???

Come on, lets wait if we get at least a new fw now... [addsig]

"When connecting to PC via USB, will be prompted to choose between Phone model and File Transfer mode. Previously, you had to go to Control Panel to do this and was quite annoying."

isn't this feature in the current firmware?

@michel
no,if you see most of the developers are in forums like my-symbian and have relations with developers in SE so be sure that everything will reach them,just like ajack and others.
so man write in populer forums like esato and my-symbian and they will see your topics..


regards,

yes, my M600 is WG2 and there is no update (otherwise I would have posted a new thread)

I though this thread was about "observations of the new p990i firmware R5A" but we now seem to have 2 threads looking for the ever elusive "next firmware" (this one and the main firmware thread) and not to mention the one I locked this morning.

Perhaps some deep breaths and relaxation (or a chill pill) is in order. Meanwhile perhaps this thread could be got back on topic and if discussion is needed for the next firmware perhaps that can move to the main firmware thread. But please, no endless posting of "no firmware update available yet"

7. When connecting to PC via USB, will be prompted to choose between Phone model and File Transfer mode. Previously, you had to go to Control Panel to do this and was quite annoying.


This feature is already present in R4B and was even there in the previous one, R4A.

In R4A it had a bug, but it has been solved in R4B.
