I saw our se rep again and he had a list of known faults being addressed (as well as Previous fixes in FW) and they have nothing there about BROD. He made a call to one of his contacts in management and advised that this needs to be looked into. He asked where I got the info about BROD and I informed him of Esato.com. Hopefully he has a look and can forward all our gripes on too! Mind you, the list is so long I fear it will be filed in the "too hard" pile.

SAD, but maybe BROD will be fixed in next FW |

Yeah I noticed it, and its muck !!
Anytime I use the streaming music on my K850i towards my Parrot carkit or on my SE HBH-DS980
I cant Fast Forward onto next track without hitting the FF button about 4 or 5 times. (I can use the button on the phone itself or through the menu's, but the defeats the whole purpose of bluetooth)
And when your streaming music, the phone is as slow as a granny going up a stairs.
FFS the K800i had no bluetooth problems like this, I think K850i owners have been guinea pigs for the new platform, the sooner they upgrade the A200 platform the better.
I highly doubt new firmware will make bluetooth and the phone better, but I would love to be proved wrong |

Nope! Quite the contrary in my experience! I leave my watch in the bathroom (3rd floor) and I still pick it up on ground floor! This is with powersave off but shouldnt really affect it? What are you using your bluetooth for?

Am using it with HBH-DS220 bluetooth A2DP handsfree. but the signal is very very weak. I don't get signal if i move 2 meters away from my fone without obstruction.

I just tested my MBS-100 and it worked the same distance as my watch! Im on latest 037 and Bluetooth powersave is off (stayed connected to my watch as well as speakers!).

As far as I am aware the powersave option just means you can only connect one device at a time? |

I have no problems with distance and the BT on my K850 - as a matter of fact it can get a little annoying when I turn off my HBH-DS980 and my computer in the living room (2 wall separation) connects to my phone (very loud sound from SE Suite). I do use Powersave so that's why PC connects only after headset is disconnected. I'm on R1CA037 and not moving forward until they release a firmware that doesn't BROD phones |

Does anybody have the following problems too (with the R1EA037 firmwire)?
- Display of the HPM-90 headset doesn't work at all. The knobs stop working at times too.
- Can not activate voice control, not with the headset, not by holding a volumeknob.
- I only see about 5% of the album covers which I exported from iTunes.

I'm not having any of these problems, but with the album cover, do it with Windows Media Player, maybe Itunes allows more then whats allowed (other file extension, I think only jpg's and png's of a certain size are allowed). Anyways, try to add the covers with WMP, close it and check if the cover appears on your PC , then it should work on your phone too. |
