hi GT4Sky,

for ROM upgrade, normally, the ROM can be downloaded from the Dopod Web site and you will need to register on the Web site in order to access it...but currently, the Dopod 818 Pro ROM found in the Web site is a shipment ROM...so the actual ROM upgrade isn't available yet...it is rumoured to be out in April...

look out for it!!! when its out, news about it will be all over PPCSG smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Your ROM is the latest. The new ROM wil be out in April.

1) Go to the DopodAsia Web site here
2) Register as a new member (you'll need the serial number of your Dopod, located at the battery compartment, just remove the batt)
3) Once registered, you can access the Members section

If your PC has got bluetooth, you can try and see if you can pair with your D900 or you can pair with a friend's mobile phone. Just to see if bluetooth is working on your D900

hi KK88,

thats pretty weird...do check if you can pair with other bluetooth headset instead...and check if the OBEX function of your bluetooth is working well...if not, I would advice you to head down to the Dopod service centre, explain to them your situation and ask them if they can flash in the earlier version of the ROM to see if it works...

but logically speaking, flashing in the shipment ROM won't affect your bluetooth at all...have you confirmed that you set your Jabra 250v to PAIRING MODE before attempting to pair???

Not sure whether it is old news or not, but Dopod Asia member page have released 2 minor patches : one to fix the audio, the other to fix the device lag after ActiveSync. Both were released on 28/29th Mar.

You guys know about it? I'm installing them now.

The annoying thing is that one gotta manually activate this USB Switch program that alleviates the lag issue before u do a sync... so mah huan!

My first try I feel there is not much lag after a sync now, but still cannot re-sync without a soft-reset first! stare.gif

Anyone have tried it already and what's the general feedback?

if the imate and qtek roms for the Pro are anything to go by, those devices do not suffer from missing sd cards and no auto-resets, of which the qtek roms seem to be faster and more stable...

Hopefully, HTC will pass those findings to Dopod, so that we'll get the same performance benefits.

Dopod is supposed to get the best ROM since it is really a subsidiary of HTC parent company.

They will be shooting themselves in the foot, if they do not do that.

Ok can I get you to backup your device....and then do a hard reset
Then do NOT install any 3rd party apps
Try a phone call in a good signal area (at least 3 bars on your phone signal indicator) and see if you still get dropouts

If so, it could be atrributed to your SIM card...maybe try a different SIM card and see if the problem with dropout calls still occur.

hi cheldan,

nope, you need not have a separate software to transfer file to another device via bluetooth...

this is what you can do...click on Start, Settings, Connections, and click on Bluetooth to on your bluetooth, then make sure the other party's bluetooth is ON too...then use your File Explorer and navigate to the file you wish to send out via bluetooth...tap and hold on the file using and then select "Beam File"...wait awhile, your device will scan for infra red devices around your device...wait awhile more and it will scan for bluetooth devices around your device...then when your friend's device appear in the menu, tap on the name to send via bluetooth...

I had a similar experience when I first got my 818 pro. The phone kept dropping calls. I did a hard reset and the problem persisted. Went back to the telco and changed another set, the drop calls still happened. Finally, I changed the sim card and the problem was solved.

To claim warranty, you just need to bring along proof of puchase (like a sales receipt) to the service centre.

so far so good... 2 'complete' calls this morning, keeping my fingers crossed. Funny thing is even the phone seems to work smoother confused.gif

New sim card has the 3G logo on it. Will the sim card actually make a difference (ask this question to the starhub CSO, but she was unable to explain)?

hi cheldan,

I think it does have an effect...there are a couple of users here in PPCSG who encounter dropped calls, low signal who got the problem fixed by just changing the SIM card...

The SIM card with 3G logo on it won't affect the 818P at all. It just means that your card is capable of 3G services like video phone calls. The 818P as you know is not a 3G phone so it will only function as a GSM phone using the 3G card.

Hi cheldan,

Just to ask, do u need to pay for the change SIM card??
is it free?? or u have to pay for the new 3G sim card??

It is possible for an old SIM card to give problems such as missed/dropped calls, or even low network signal.

According to them, my first time changing is F.O.C. Forgot to ask how much it would cost if it wasn't my first time. Much better recep after changing my sim card. So far can talk without getting worried about my call(s) dropping.

Cheers!
