192 for Redfly and Phone (not mobile viewer)

[anon159272]

I posted this in the other 192 thread earlier and realized that is really geared toward the mobile viewer product. Since I'm using the hardware RF and a Touch Pro I thought I'd post experiences here.

Experience with 192 so far:

Connections are faster, the font transition seems faster.

But:

On my first bluetooth connection and subsequent disconnection, though, my Sprint TP froze on "Launching TouchFlo 3D..." and I had to soft reset. I soft reset, tried to connect over BT again, and got "User did not authorize connection" on the RF (??? it is authorized, and of course I was able to connect just a moment ago). Then tried again and my phone soft reset itself during the connection attempt, right after going into landscape mode. 3rd try worked. But now my start menu has a dark blue horizontal bar in it with yellow dots.

Everything seems to work better over USB; I've connected and disconnected a couple of times without issue. I guess the bluetooth connection method is just not as reliable. I know it's a lot slower too, so I typically use USB, but just making notes here for anyone reading.

Overall if you use USB I think it is a worthwhile upgrade for TP users.

Touch Pro2 bluetooth connection working

I almost gave up on my redfly with my new Touch pro2 (WM6.1 Professional) as I had problems connecting via BT a week ago after several attempts.

Tonight after a hard reset, I tried again (trail and error by enabling BT plus allowing it to be visible to all other devices) and surprisingly the bluetooth allowed me to authorized and the rest is a breeze.

The new driver seems more stable and it is nice to have a selection between performance and image quality.

I am running a Touch Pro, and a 6.1 rom from Calkulin's Kitchen. I too have been plagued with the non-authorizing bluetooth must be enabled nightmare. I loaded the 192 driver in hopes to enjoy my bluetooth again, but when trying to establish the first usb connection, my TP locks. I can't get the 192 driver to work and had to revert to 163.

Any ideas to get me over the bluetooth hump?

Praying for 6.5 compatibility soon....

Praying for 6.5 compatibility soon....

For the USB issue, try soft resetting a couple of times; that seemed to help for me.

WRT 6.5...based on the updates Celio has made to the phones page it looks like they've switched gears and they're going for Android/BB support, which I suppose from a business perspective makes more sense than trying to continue tweaking for us Touch Pro users.

As the economy improves I'm thinking about picking up a netbook with 3G built-in. There are just too many times I go to connect my Redfly and something breaks, or freezes, or that dang soft-key menu bar is greyed out and almost unreadable, and of course the My First Phone look gets on my nerves.

ok, so I got the driver to actually connect without freezing, and authorize the bluetooth. But all attempts to make a bluetooth connection report a rejected connection attempt. Also, the phone locks up again with usb connections, until soft reset 3 times per day.. ugh.. back to 163

Stability has made me enjoy WMWiFiRouter/Bluetooth/WiFi to my laptops.. I miss my RedFly's battery..

Just an update to this thread; last night I was using my redfly over bluetooth for awhile, and after I disconnected my Touch Pro got into a weird state where the screen would turn off every 10 seconds regardless of whether I was doing anything or not. A soft reset fixed it, but it was notable because it has never happened before and only occurred after I was using the Redfly. This is on 192.

Mine does that with opera mobile if I don't close it first.

I'd suggest you move on to the new 206 build, just released last week. Hopefully this takes care of the problem.
