NEW ISSUE!!

I can make calls no problem, voice dial works, signal and battery, evertying except receiving calls!!

When i receive a call, and i press the steering wheel to answer, for some reason, it goes to my cell phone, and then the car, so there is a gap.

Here is the sequence:

1. Press to answer
2. Screen on car shows that it was answered, but no sound
3. Bluetooth disconnects, radio plays again, phone is received through the phone's internal head piece
4. All of sudden gets re picked up by the G35 again, and then i can resume my carll!

 

any update on the phone with the car?

 

I just got a Tilt and installed a custom ROM on it (which I love). I have used it a couple of times in the car with mixed results. Seems like it when I answer the phone from the steering wheel, the other end is very garbled and difficult to hear. If I switch back to the handset and then back again to the car, it works great and is nice and clear. I will keep trying as I've only taken a couple of calls at this point.

 

I think there is a patch on the BT for that phone... try to look it up at www.xda-developers.com.

 

I completely forgot to update but I got rid of the tilt. After going through three of them w/ warranty exchange due to the bluetooth issue, I use a bb curve 8310 and it works flawlessly. Call quality is great, people hear me fine with barely any echo, and the phonebook transfers directly from the phone to the car with one button on the phone. Only feature I miss is 3G. Hopefully there is a fix for the tilt but I just could not find it custom roms and all.

 

i paired both my tilt (paired first, factory att rom) and my sony ericsson w810i (unlocked, intl rom) with no problems. I couldn't push my entire phonebook with the tilt so i put my card in the w810i, paired, and pushed it from there.

if anyone knows how to bt the entire phonebook in wm6, let me know.

quality: great on both, but the tilt holds a connection via bt better than the w810i.

 

I never chimed in here, but I have had zero problems with my tilt and sedan. The same can't be said for my old 8125, which worked perfectly until I upgraded to wm6 on it. After that, I tried dozens of roms, different BT stacks, changing the bit rate, EVERYTHING, and finally got it to work correctly after a few weeks. So I was expecting the worst when I got the tilt, but never had any problem with it.

 

I have this exact same problem. I'm running a custom ROM with WM6.1.

 

heres my expierience with the tilt on my G w/nav...the bluetooth was all garbled up...noone could understand me..i switched it for a new one and same thing...then i tested it with a head set and it worked fine..so i returned the phone back..bluetooth is garbage and the battery life too..hope that helps. hooters

 

i have a brand new tilt for sale in case someone was interested. i wasn't able to use mine bc i switched providers. send me PM if interested

 

Just to update everyone. I bought the tilt and returned it the next day for the blackberry Curve 8310. This phone is the **** for the following reasons.

sync phonebook to my 07G

from contacts I can click goto and googlemaps opens up and displays the address of the contact. From their I can get directions.

It is fast

Its battery lasts for at least 2 days (haven't recharged yet)

Can search appts by keyword to find old appt.

Overall I am very pleased and don't think I will ever be going back to Windows Mobile.

 

um... i don't know about you, but I threw all the address info in my contacts in outlook, sync'd it to my tilt, installed google maps, and can do all the same things as you just mentioned.

my wife has the curve + gps and while it's a great phone and the BB features rock nuts (if you have a bbE server, which she does), i still prefer my setup. touchscreen ftw. if RIM hooked up more with htc to develop a touchscreen BB, i'd be tempted. as it is they swapped a bit of info and htc got access to BB enterprise access (for the kaiser/tilt) out of the deal.

also, pssst, the curve has a little...LIIIITTTTTTLLLEEE bit of wm6 thrown in for good measure. it's subtle, but it is there. I'm glad you less-than-3 the curve so much, but i get the feeling you just didn't know what you were doing with the tilt.

 

keep defending your wm oh wise one.

Hows that battery working for you!!!!

I have had an about 4 wm devices including an 8525 and could never find a rom that worked just the way I want. Granted there are a couple things i would change with the blackberry.

This is a G35 forum and I started this to find a phone that works great with my new car. Now I have. Battery, signal icons on nav screen and able to download all contacts into phonebook.

I am happy with my new phone and wanted to share with others that might be looking at the two phones.

 

lol... i wasn't really hazing you for having the curve and I was not defending the tilt all that much either. as I've previously stated, my wife has a curve and it works brilliantly for her. the browser and use thereof is absolute trash, but it is a fantastic enterprise solution.

wm6 can't send the whole phonebook without an outside app. that's silly, but it's just the way it is. thankfully I have multiple other phones--including a couple other wm devices--that I can try. my tiny w810i works wonderfully for this, but doesn't have the best bt stack i've seen--it's plagued with what seems to be a power-saving "feature" of dropping the connection periodically.

tilt battery life... the curve picks up an extra day of life over the tilt. then again, i never find myself in a situation where i
-don't have a miniUSB cable to charge my phone
-don't have my car charger in my car
so it's not a big deal.

BB's are very finicky about their power supply, so it helps to have legit OEM bb charging goods. htc products are less picky and will charge off of anything with a miniUSB form factor.

tilt shows signal and battery level. as mentioned many times, the only thing it lacks in that dept. is the native ability to xfer all the contacts at once.

if the single added ability to xfer the entire phone book is that much of a selling point then I'd actually recomment the sony ericsson w810i, or any of its newer counterparts. without the need for enterprise/push email, the SE's integrate very well with outlook. they also tend to have much better cameras. SE form factors are hard to beat as well.
the one really awful thing about the SE phones is the horrible browser integration. if you're not looking to use a browser, then that's not a factor.

best browser/browser implimentation i've seen so far has to be the iPhone's, followed closely by a touchscreen wm device running opera.

best email integration: blackberry hands down. pocket outlook is nice, but BB's email setup is the easiest i've seen.

best non-power-user phones: iPhone for obvious reasons, and Sony ericsson. very light, very powerful for their tiny size.

SE's have the best battery life, followed by the curve (older gens have pretty craptastic battery life), then the tilt, and the iPhone seemed to be slightly worse on battery life. the consolation in that would be if you hook up your iPhone to the ipod connector, you don't have to worry about using the power outlet to charge your phone, and you'll be charging it almost constantly as it is, since you'd be using it as a music source while driving.

for a lot of you having issues with garbled bt connections I can't help but wonder if the problem is actually the car's firmware revision rather than your phone. you should see if there are updates firmwares/roms for your phones, but this problem crosses platforms too readily to be a phone-side issue.

I have an 08 and haven't had this problem so far...thankfully. I know that periodic garbling over bt connections, and in normal calls is not uncommon. you shouldn't have that coming up in every single call, though.
