Can I do something to my XDA to be able to use bluetooth ??? Help :roll:
I know that Socket (and possibly others) sell SDIO BlueTooth adapters (do a Google search for "SDIO Bluetooth card"), but since I do not have (and have never had) an XDA, I cannot confirm that it will work. This is the only way I know of to get BT on an XDA.
no the xda1 dont have SDIO support
a dongle could be made but it would require the buttom connector used and that would mean it was xda1 only and that would leave a rather small market for it and a pretty high price aswell

Ahhh . . . I didn't know that. Sounds like another reason to upgrade to an XDA II!

hi,
i want to build an bluetooth accesspoint at home, where i can connect with my mda-II to explorer the internet (wlan needs to much battery).
What kind of bluetooth usb device i need in my pc?
Can these work?
What kind of settings is needed on the mda?
(sry. i´m a bluetooth-newbie)
regards

The problem is that the XDA/MDA bluetooth stack doesn't support PAN (personal area networking). When the stack is sorted out then you only need a cheap class 2 bluetooth USB dongle and drivers to make this work.

I Have a Sandisk SD WiFi card, but as this kills the battery at home i use my laptop with built in WiFi and Bluetooth, I put my Laptop in the room where i am sitting, and then activesync over bluetooth, and surf the net thatway, the range is not bad, much better than the BT headset (jabraBT200) And of corse this way there is nothing sticking out the top ready to be snaped off, and the battery lasts much longer,
I will of keep the SD WiFi Card as there are also many times when i need it, But for home use as soon as they sort the PAN profile i will get a BT acess point

hi,
thanks for your answers!!!
@sweeney
Are you know if it possible to update the mda-II with the needed PAN support? If it is a microsoft-update or comes it from HTC or from anyone else?
@applecom
looks that we have the same configuration, i´m also use the sandisk wlan card but it takes to much battery power! But your idea with the activesync i like very well ... how you have to setup activesync to use bluetooth?
Are you useing the cheap "class 2 bluetooth USB dongle" sweeney spoke about or anything else?

No official support yet, but there is some sign of promise on this board that the WIDCOMM stack can be tweaked to work on the MDA/XDA and is known provide PAN, serial etc.
Can anyone help ?????
I have a XDA II and I'm trying to get it paired with my NAVMAN 4410.
When I try to bond the 2 units my XDA asks for a pin number, but the bluetooth gps doesn't have a pin.
Can anyone help with this
Thanks
marconi72
try entering 4 zeros.
if that doesnt work then have a look through the documentation that came with the gps unit.
if the makers set one, there will be a note of it in there somewhere
good luck
You will need the navman patch software and also you will most likely need bluetooth tools. make sure you delete the bonding before installing the new software then rediscover and rebond.
Do a search in this forum for "Navman"
Connecting the Navman 4400 series has been pretty well covered under the "Stocking up for it forum".
The biggest pain about the Navman is that the PIN is "NAVMAN" and the MS BT stack will not accept non numeric PIN's. Fortunately a wonderful guy called TOWA has released some fixes.
You need to install the enablechar.exe onto your machine to be able to key in the alphabetical PIN (Grrrr NAVMAN!).
If you run the latest ROM (I have the excellent 02 Asia 1.60 ROM) it has a BT Serial port built in. If you run earlier ROMS you may need TOWA's Bluetooth Tools.
Check out:

or at

If you do use this software, think about sending TOWA a donation. It is great guys like him that help us to get the best from our XDA's
Cheers from Oz.

I have a Navamn GPS 4100 and a XDA Pocket PC but I can not make the link between them, The XDA does not allow me to write the PIN "NAVMAN ", it does only allow to write numbers. Can anyone send me the papatch to allow writting letters?
Thanks
Hi Inigomorales
Sounds like you have an XDA 1 and a wired Navman, correct? I have xda 2 and bluetooth Navman 4400 and use the enablecharacterpin program. Not sure if it works with your config, but don't see why it would not. Here it is!
Hope this helps

I installed the Toshiba bluetooth stack on my I-Mate Jam and it ROCKS - it includes ALL the functionality/profiles missing in the MS stack!
...BUT...
It is unstable as hell (I have experienced all sort of "cosmetic" issues) and I am fairly sure this is due to the fact that both MS and Toshiba stacks try to use the same bluetooth hardware SIMULTANEOUSLY.
...SO...
has anyone figured how deinstall/reinstall the microsoft bluetooth stack on a Magician (I-Mate Jam, Qtek S-100, MDA Compact, XDA Mini)?

So, what "ROCKS" about it?
Always do full backup b4 installing sware.
it does what the MS BT stack does (serial port, headset, activesync), but also adds other profiles (pan, dun, obex, ftp, chat + others from memory)
i.e send files/chat with other mobile phone users, access bt pan, etc... though i am only interested in pan, chat and obex
when i fisrt played with it, i immediately saw why everyone whinges with the bt stack...
it's excellent and stable for me, didn't expierence any bugs...
dutty:
Did you get pan working ?
If so can you please let me know how?
Thanks,
Martin
I'm kinda interested ...
Can u please post a copy of that Toshiba Bluetooth stack u're using so we can all have a chance to have a look at it and maybe modify it to work on our phones
uh, just started the service, restarted the device and connected to it!
BUT, i also installed the toshiba BT stack on my workstation

And just more thing ... How did u manage to get that bluetooth stack to run on xda devices since it keeps checking for external SD bluetooth cards and was not designed for internal bluetooth chips ?
Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15382&highlight=
Thanks for the link ....... BUT !!
I was able to download the Toshiba BT Stack v5.01 but it won't seem to work on my xda !! Everytime I tap on Bluetooth Setting (from toshiba) It says the following ' An error occurred with the Bluetooth Card. Confirm that the card is working properly.
Both my MS Stack and Widcomm Stacks are disabled and don't conflict with this new Toshiba Stack.
I was wondering how the thread owner got this BT stack running on his xda ?
It works on my XDA Mini just fine. The only problem I'm having is that it won't stay resident when you power off the device.

As for disabling the MS stack, look here.
Got another Question ??
Will this new stack work on a Qtek2020 ? I've tried installing it on my Qtek2020 but it won't recognise my bluetooth hardware !!
Any sugestions ??? :?:

Oops, sorry, look here for info about turning off the MS BT stack.
RE
From the download link provided it showed support for WM2003. How about WM2003SE?
Anyone feedback in using on WM2003SE?
Thanks
:roll:
i think the imate jam runs se?
:roll:
RE
Sorry, another question.
In the event of a hard reset will my O2 XDA II restore the MS stack with whatever registry settings that were deleted in the process of installating the Toshiba bt stack? Will the Toshiba bt stack be totally removed in the evnet of a hard reset?
Thanks again
yes sir
Found 2 problems.
Cannot connect when call ring.. connect then call is fine.
Cannot Accept call with button on headset.
Any more Problems ???
Please post your problems ..
Hi
i´ve tested the toshiba bt software on my MDA-Compact but haven´t got very good results. First, after installation, it seems to work good with my Royaltek RBT 3000 (GPS), but after i´ve switched off the device while an active bt connection was established with my gps software, the bt-stack broks down and the whole systems seems to be unstable. Even after a softreset the bt-software from toshiba says that they didnt recognize any bt hardware.
Now i am trying to deinstall the bt-soft and can recommend everybody who wants to test to make an backup before ;-)
I think that the software from toshiba could work, when the ms-bt-stack would be completly changed with the toshiba-stack, but doesnt work without problems when both bt-stacks are on the system.

Yo,
Anyone got a new exec yet, and got tomtom 5 with a tomtom wired GPS receiver plugged into it? If so can you describe what you did, so i can prepare my gear for when it lands! Looks like I might need a USB to MINI USB lead to be compatable with my Arkon car cradle...............
Cheers all,
Bryson
Search the forum, loads of posts on this.
I haven't seen any posts on this. Plenty on BLUETOOTH tomtom but not WIRED.
As far as I know there isn't any type of adaptor like that on the market - unless anyone knows different? So its Bluetooth only.
Sorry, my bad, I miss-read the post. Thought it was BT.
Yeah, I trawled the forums, didnt see anything re a wired GPS receiver, so hoping someone can advise how i can connect my tomtom wired GPS into the exec.............dont want to have to buy a new BT receiver as well!
just got my exec today ,which I must admit was quick comming only ordered it yesterday ive got gps for my xda 2 but wont fit my exec
It wouldn't be as simple as a Serial to Mini USB adaptor because the serial bit would need to be a specific Xda serial fitting. I can't see the economical sense in them being developed.
Best bet is to flog your wired receiver on ebay and buy a b/t receiver. I'm using a co-pilot b/t receiver and the phone connecter that comes with it is mini usb. Charges the Exec and b/t receiver at the same time.
I Don't work
doesn't look good ....................
sh1t, really! why? let me guess, after 3 succesful incarnations of the xda..........HTC decided that it would be to easy co let the comm port style continue, and usb land awaits........
Hy, my question is this: I have at the moment a XDA II/ qtek 2020 and while the windows may have a WiFi turn on option, I know It doesn't have any, but can I get the WiFi antenna from Alpine/qtek 2020i?
I have am Alpine(not functional), could I like put the Himalaya in the Alpine's case or could I get it's antenna to work on Himalaya ?(I'm really a noob at hardware, but please help me with an answer)

Nope, that won't work! Although they look the same, the hardware is totally different. But it is no problem to use WiFi SDIO sd-cards eg. pluscom ect.
