I had the same problem of low Standby Time after flash two of my T68m with R5D007 (BT works fine on both and my laptop).
I downgrade one of them with R2E006 and recovered the normal Standby Time.
I will try to downgrade the other one with R5C001 to see if the Standby Time could be recovered or not. |

rog,
Actually I have an older T68m and flashed it with the R5D007 firmware and it works great with the Parrot kit! Haven't tried it with the PC yet. I think there is an issue with the AT&T T68i phones and the R5D firmware....
I flashed both phones with WaikinCheng's R5D007.
T68m works fine
T68i bt problems
I justed flashed sevenfires R5D to my AT&T T68i and the bluetooth still doesn't work.

You need 1 log to unlock and 1 log to flash.
So you will need 2 logs.
I would hold off flashing until we figure out why some phones lose functionality when hard flashed. (Bluetooth failures and bad battery times) But unlocking is safe. I used http://www.unlocking.co.uk, they had some problems with one of their servers but I think they have it fixed. Last night their server was working for me. |

If I upgrade to R5C from R3B and Bluetooth doesn't work, will Bluetooth work again if I flash back to my old FW version of R3B? |

HardRoc,
I suggest don't bother flashing your R3B to R5C if you didn't experienced any problems.
I didn't find that much of difference between R3B and R5C, as I did one R3C -> R5C. R3B has been trouble free for me so far.
If you flash it there's a chance your BT not connecting with PC. But it's all up to you.

I have got frmware ver. R2B on my T68i and I experience from time to time very long boot up time...Very weird. I'm still reluctant to upgrade when seing all the before mentionned BT problem + I'd like a file that includes French and preferably a 'clean' one  |

VS6XFX,
How are you testing the BT connections? I can pair with other devices with my T68i, however when I try to communicate any further with them it doesn't work.
Anyone having problems with a non AT&T phone? |

I actually transfer phonebook between the two phones, also access via my laptop with BT and they all been working no matter with FW is in. The main problem I had with the newer FW is the Standby Time reduced too much and the Battery Gauge actually goes down quick.

VS6FX, how did you flash it? using the language file method, or the 2 file AVR ARM method? |

if it helps, i've flashed all the files to my T68m, and none worked to the point where I had my original standy by time. All had the dreaded 50-60 hour standby thing. Even when I flashed using the language method. I finally flashed to my original firmware (thank god i backed it up) and got my standbytime back.

I have no idea what week is my phone.. but my T68m was obtained about a month ago from the Good Guys. It's a Cingular T68m. The R5D files i have are basically from this site, provided from waikincheng. hope that helps.
