just wonder, is it not support 100% Hands free profile? But look at this article they can use Hands free function profile with Alfa X-Live Bluetooth Headset.
Sound interesting,

yes, it seems to be the same with the imate rom. But untill now there is nobody who wanted to dump his imate or O2 rom to test it :?
I can't seem to get the hands free working with my o2 XDA II mini, although it does say it is connected to a handsfree headset when it is boded with my Jabra 250.
Does someone want a dump of the ROM?
If so gimmie some instructions as long as it is not toooo destructive I'll give it a go
yes, please...

You can find the dumprom tool here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/DumpRom
or from http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/dumprom.html
You can also export your registry using a trial copy of resco explorer (comes with resco registry tool) http://www.resco-net.com/explorer_dwn.asp
and put it here as well. I've come across tweaks in registry that might point to why it works for one version of OS and not the other.
Many thanks! :wink:
arrggghhh
O.K. I'm sorry it's Friday arvo and I must have my dumb swith invoked.
Bear with me I'm just an old dinosaur (I work with mainframes not PC's)
I own a full version of Resco and can see the registry but can't work out how to export it
I got a copy of dumprom.exe but not nkcompr.lib which it seems to need.
Also do I run this on the mini or on the PC it is synch'ed with.
Step by step me if you want...
Sorry for being sooooo dumb but I did try and work it out myself.
If you want to tell me I will do it for you.
Thanks
so do you want to give me a step by step or don't you need it anymore?
Been busy...

Sorry nossac,
Been really busy over the weekend. I realize that the utilities provided by the forum may not be updated for Magician. I had several frens of mine trying to use it, but facing technical problems.
I believe someone posted the chinese ROM in the FTP site. I think I shall use that version to check out the BT stack and SDBus support.
Many thanks for being proactive, but it's not within my means to support dumprom issues.
For resco registry, what you can do:
(a) download resco explorer (using previous URL link I've supplied)
(b) connect your Mini with the MS ActiveSync
(c) execute the resco explorer executable file
(d) Install all the software (explorer, registry, ftp etc)
(e) from the Today screen, goto Start/Programs/Resco Registry
(f) You should be in the Registry Editor screen.
(g) Highlight the topmost "My Registry"
(h) Tap and hold "My Registry", two options should be available to you.
(i) Select the "Export" option.
(j) You should come to the "Save file" screen.
(k) Name the registry file as "02 mini registry"
(l) Select the location to save the file to.
(m) Select the folder to save the file to.
Click on Save button. The software will proceed to export the registry to the file.
Once you have complete exporting the registry to the file, open MS ActiveSync:
(a) Click on "Explore" option on the taskbar menu.
(b) Navigator to the filesystem/folder for which you have save the registry file to.
(c) Copy to the desktop and zipped it up.
Then post it to this forum.
Note: The resco explorer is a trial version. If you don't like it, you can uninstalled it after the trial period has expired.
Many thanks!
Here is reg from my IMATE JAM. Has a lot of crap from installed software
Hi Henry,
Well that all explains my problem.
I was trying to use the Rescoe Explorer to export it not the Rescoe Registery editor.
Now it all makes sense.
Thanks for explaining, here is the Reg from my o2 xda II mini

Thanks for the registry file! Thanks to ID64 also for his IMATE-JAM registry.
I need to ask a couple of very specific questions:
(a) Can you heard music piping through your BT headset?
(b) Did anyone of you has SD Wifi 256RAM card and use it successfully?
Many thanks!
Hi,
Nope the music does not pipe to my Jabra 250 headset. If I start Media Player the music comes from the mini even though the headset is bonded.
And I have not tried a wifi card. But I have read reviews at www.compactjam.com and www.mmtek.com.au that say the SD wifi cards work just fine.
BT registry investigation....confuse and clueless
hmmm,
it's a rare privilege to have comb through so many versions of registries and dumprom so many versions of ROM to test the DLLs....
Well, the fact is, I've hanged my device many times now.
I was hoping that since MS BT is 1.2 compliant in Mini/JAM, they would at least include A2DP and allow stereo piping to the headset...
What does the BT 1.2 compliant mean? Well, honestly not much. The main advantage that Bluetooth 1.2 has over 1.1 is Adaptive Frequency Hopping. According to Ed Hardy of the fantastic Brighthand.com website, “Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is designed to reduce interference between technologies sharing the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Cordless telephones, microwave ovens, and certain Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN) technologies, including 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11g, generally share the same wireless frequencies as Bluetooth. AFA works within the spectrum to take advantage of the available frequencies without limiting the Bluetooth transmission to a set of frequencies occupied by other technologies. This ‘adaptive hopping’ allows for more efficient transmission within the spectrum, thereby providing the user with greater performance, even if using other technologies along with the Bluetooth wireless technology.”
Perhaps someone has checked the ipaq devices and know how they have managed to pipe the mono sound to the headset?
I've check the Mini/JAM registry and I'm glad to say that there seems to be minor differences in the BT registry settings.
It's interesting why HTC skipped Broadcomm BT in Mini/JAM when it is implemented for XDAIIs....
Oh well, :?: :?: :?:

So you CAN get voicedial working on Bluetooth?
Hi,
Sorry, I'm a bit of a novice and so I don't understand... Are you saying it is possible to get Vito Voice Dialer working with Bluetooth?
I checked the link but it's in THAI and I can't follow what's going on.
Can you please confirm whether it's possible.
I don't understand what all the registry and rom dumps are for...
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
Been using this great site for a while now but im not a great poster! lol Ive bought a Magician and it will be arriving tomorrow and just wondered if there is anything that i should be looking out for?
For example, what mods do you recommend? I.E Bluetooth Fix (may not exsist but just gave example) I cant wait to get it as ive used a few before and been very impressed!
Also does anyone have a link for TomTom 5 Cracked? would be much appriciated! :lol:
Hi, welcome to XDA DEV and congratulations with your purchase! If you search this forum, you will find many fixes and mods that have been applied to speed up the magician (through registry edits), gain extra memory (BigStorage is a good one!), improve the BT stack, remove the Simlock etc etc. Just look in the Magician forums and you will find many tweaking hapiness there. Be sure to back-up first before applying any mod, since they might cause a hard reset and data loss. Please DON'T ask for illegal software here, there is enough of that to be found on the internet, but not in this community. We like to tweak and mod things, but intend to do nothing illegal here. If any software or hack here is illegal in your country, don't use it.
Have fun with your new Magician!
Thanks for the welcome Koksie! Ive been having a browse though and thought that maybe it would be good to get a Top 10 things to do to your magician?
Just thought it would be handy for people like me that are new to the magician.
Can someone explain what bigstore is please? Sounds great.
BTW it hasnt arrived yet its scheduled before 1pm though!
Do a search for BigStorage, it involves flashing your Rom with a custom made one you made yourself. You can use the ROM that came with it ( if it is a new one, you will get the latest ROM I presume) or with a newer one ( if yours is a second hand device and has an older version. 1.13 is the newest one at the moment. Check in your start-settings-device information) Since a flash removes all your data, the best thing is to do it before you put any programs and information on it. basically it deletes the Extended ROM ( where your provider puts all its settings) and merges it with the internal storage, adding 20 MB extra of ROm storage, in other words, another 20 MB extra of memory that will not be deleted in case of empty battery. Another advantage of 20 MB of extra ROM is that you save another 20 MB of RAM (by ebanling you installing aps to ROm instead of RAM), so your Magician will be much faster and less battery consuming. Search for BigStorage and the method (including backing -up the Extended ROM for later use) will be explained in detail in several threads.
Same goes for removing the Simlock or extending the BT profiles. Just search for the right terms and the methods will pop-up.
Other worthwile apps are DKToday, BT SwitchIt, tel-on-off, AEBPlus and MortButtons. Check these out, they are very usefull apps. Many registry tweaks are also posted, they help to speed up your magician, change behaviour of applications and settings etc. You are right that a top 10 would be helpful, but just searching the forum will help a lot. for regedits serach for "registry edit magiacian"and I am sure helpful threads will appear.

I was in the same position as you are, as I recently switched from an XDAI (Wallaby) to the Magician.
Here are some things to consider and do.
1. You will definately fall in love with the device if you are a bit like me or the rest of the people here. You will want to use a long time, so before you go and use the device regularly, GET A SCREEN PROTECTOR. Even if it is just a cheap one to start with, protect the screen.
2. The regular Bluetooth stack is pretty unimpressive. It works OK, but does not offer a lot of options. If you are going to use BT get the CAB install that has just recenty popped up and is currently being discussed here. You can download in that thread, then you have a ton more options regarding BT.
3. The camera on my O2 branded device is crap (blue speckles in low light conditions). There is a fix out there to solve the problem a little bit. The ultimate solution is to install a updated camera software from T-Mobile devices which is more recent. I am still looking for a way to do this, have not dived into the topic completely.
4. If you are using your PPC device a lot, especially if you are using a large SD-Card for file storage one day or the other you will face the need of hooking up yur device to some friends computer to exchange some files. This is not easily done unless the other computer has ActiveSync running. To do this easily you can use Softick Card Export, which is a little tool that enables the Magician to act as a Mass Storage Device. When the program is enabled you just use your friendly USB cable to hook up to the other computer and your Magician is instantly connected without drivers (if it is a W2K+ or XP machine or something like this - Win98 will not work instantly).
5. Always carry a small USB cable with you. I love the possibility of charging my device whereever I find a USB port.
6. Software I will not leave home without:
- Wisbar Advance2 / Wisbar Advance Desktop plugin
- Total Commander
- Registry Editor of choice
- Memmaid
- Pockettools
- Sprite Backup
- Destinator PN (if you are going to use it as a GPS)
- Pocketmusic for mp3 playback
- Phonealarm plugin
- Some calendar plugin giving a good oversight of tasks and appointments
- eWallet (for keeping confidential info such as PINs etc. encrypted)
- Mobipocket Reader with a recent offline version of Wikipedia
- Pocketmechanic
- phonExt (better Dialer)
- RESCO Audio Recorder (allows mp3 recording)
- PhonePad chooser (customize the PhonePad design)
That should get you kind of started. Oh, wait, after I did the BigStorage hack I also replaced that butt-ugly O2 splash screen (screen displayed when you power on the device or do a soft/hard reset) with a selfmade one saying "hacked" and displaying the 18c3logo.

So does PhoneAlarm. I checked out PocketZenPhone, but decided I liked pA better. It's a matter of taste, I guess. Did you take a look at pA anyways?
This discussion is going on on another thread as well.
I use PA, it's got a lot of features that I like.
To be fair, I've not used PZP much because I didn't think that it did more then PA that was relevant to me.
I've set up PA with profiles on my Today screen, which seems to be what PZP is good for:

Hi Folks,
I created a simple bluetooth scanner for my universal. In fact it "should" run on every device which
a) is = or > PPC2003 (inkl. WM5)
b) has the MS bt-stack running
It'ss nothing big and I'm sure some people are missing features like saving the scan results or bluejacking and so on. But hey, it's my first c++ program and in addition my first program for PPC.
I will add features (like the above mentioned) WHEN I have time to do so.
Now to the program itself:
It's simple, start it and press "SCAN". After some devices have been found you can start an SDP query by pressing (you guess it ) "SDP"
In the device list: COD means "Class of Device" (see bluetooth specification for more info).
In the output window, when the sdp services are liste, "ChId" means Channel ID, which is the RFCOMM Channel the service is listening on.
The programm works in landscape mode. I will all some code for switching between landscape and portrait later.
However, I'm not sure if someone finds this usefull. If so -> Enjoy, it's free. If not -> delete it...
Comments are welcome...
Cheers
EDIT 01/25/2006:
Homepage is located at: http://www.silentservices.de/btCrawler.html
v0.3
- Added some service classes in the scan engine (A2DP, A2Sink, A2SRC, SAP)
- Added "SelfDiag" button to check what services the own device provides
- Added support for Smartphone with Windows Mobile 5, SP2003, SP2003SE
- Added a menu to better support navigation in Smartphones
EDIT 01/12/2006:
attached you will find an updated version of btCrawler.
Changes in v0.2 are as follows:
- One program for PPC2003/SE/WM5
- Support for portrait AND landscape mode
- Detection of screen orientation at startup
- GUI changes
- Class of Device (CoD) is now "human readable"
Limitations:
- Rezising of the GUI due to display orientation change is not working. You have to change to your preferred display orientation before starting btCrawler.

Can you release the source code? I very interessted in programming such things... I want to know how i can use bluetooth i my own applications.
What IDE do you use to Code?
society: what are you intending to do with bluetooth?
If you're intending to use bluetooth for anything particularly useful, typically you need to investigate bluetooth comms or obex. Scanning is a discrete aspect of using bluetooth devices.

Well, don't get me wrong, but I wont release the source code. There are several reasons...Don't take it personal.
1.) btCrawler is only a small part of a bluetooth pen-testing utility I am currently writing. When you get the source code, you will probably learn how to hack into mobile phones. And as you may understand, I won't teach people how to hack into other devices.
2.) Writing this tool was damn hard work for me, because I've never touched C++ before. So it was just learning to code by reading other code.
But there is one book I can recommend to you:
Programming Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Third Edition
by Douglas Boling ISBN:0735618844
I'm using MS VC++ as IDE.
Cheers
society: I don't know what you're experience is, but if you're intersted in learning to code, you might find this post helpful.
And I think the best way to learn to code, is to learn to code I'm fighting every night with the books, trying to learn this stuff, loving and hating every minute!

Does it handle VGA ok? The freeware one I tried (I forget the name) seemed to assume that my screen was only 320x240, and so the resultant bitmap looked like it had been shrunk.

Its not a problem.... i just want to see an example how to work with the Bluetooh API. But google is my friend you know.
Not free, but the software I use for capturing screens for user manuals is that included with Resco's Picture Viewer. Handles Universal's screen in both orientations and even OzVGA.

I dont know. AFAIK you have to explicity query for it. Thus you would need a tool which automagically querys for the bluetooth name of the remote device when your device gets a file...I'm sorry but such a function will not fit in a scanning software like mine.

Hi,
since there've been quite some requests, I'd like to implement AVRCP in MortPlayer (probably after the upcoming release, but anyway...). Does anybody know how this is done or where I can find informations about it? Up 'til now all my searches ended in "No clue" or a list of all the gread devices and programs that support it...
TIA
Hope, you´ll find something/someone, who can help you...
Your player is so amazing...;-)
good luck...
Mort, I can't remember if we've ever spoken, so first,

your software is an inspiration!
I'm not sure how AVRCP might be implemented, but I'd suggest that if you can find a bluetooth driver or AT logger, you might be able to monitor what AT commands are issued by the headset to facilitate AVRCP, and then re-implement your apps to monitor for them.
However, I'm sure that's over complicated and there's another easier way! Keep us informed if you find anything definitive
V
OK, got a bit smarter...
It seems like all AVRCP drivers are currently married to WMP, and the only way to get the data is by faking to be the "(corpse? ) bride".
Some drivers (like Widcom) parse the WMP skin and send mouse events to the Window labelled "Windows Media Player". This shouldn't be too hard to do... Though I could need some advice how to determine the WMP version (Downward compatibility for skins? Why? Microsoft has the right to torture its customers...).
The other way are WMP plug ins. I got as far as finding out they're listed in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugIns. Usually there's probably just the one for AVRCP, maybe 1 or 2 others for e.g. today plug-ins...
The interface itself uses COM, and that's where the troubles start. I have only most basic knowledge about COM, so I've no idea how to load and access those plug-in DLLs. This probably clarifies things for people familiar with COM, while leaving me quite puzzled... I also found this quite interesting thread, but it seems to me like he's accessing the entire WMP there, instead of just the plug-ins. But the "IWMPEvents" might be important, too...
So, if somebody can come to aid me, at best with some code examples, it would be really nice... (And of course noted in the credits... )
Edit: Something more: It seems like I'd have to create own IWMPCore (with at least get_controls implemented) and IWMPControls objects, too...

Unless Conduits is going to release the source for free (as in "do what you want with it" ), which is quite improbable, this wouldn't help me. The PocketPlayer plug-in is married to PocketPlayer in similar ways, and it'd be a bit annoying if I'd have to tell MortPlayer users they have to install PocketPlayer...
However, with some try & error and lots of botching, I managed to program a little dummy that at least works with the BCHS driver on MDAc...
Please try whether it works with the WM5 driver, too. There'll be no sound, I just open a channel because BCHS needs it to connect to the headphone (like the file name and window title...). There should be messages if you press any headphone buttons, maybe also some error messages. If there are error messages, please tell me which ones...
Another problem... BCHS only streams to a channel opened from an app named WMPlayer.exe. Even if I keep an external WMPlayer.exe, I can't simply call waveOutOpen there and pass the handle to the player, because I can't pass the required callback functions (access violation). Any idea anybody?
I'd like to avoid renaming MortPlayer.exe to WMPlayer.exe. Esp. since as a side effect another registry path is used for all settings...
FYI: I managed to implement both a "WMP emulator for plug-ins" (AVRCP with new MS BT stacks, should also work with Voice Command and similar plug-ins) and an "emulated WMP window" (AVRCP support of most Widcomm stacks).
You can download the MortPlayer version with AVRCP support here:
Setup CAB
The code will be uploaded when I release the next update (I hope it won't last that much longer...).
If you need any help or code, just ask me...

I have been using your new app for about 5 hrs now...all I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. So for it is running 100% smooth on my xda-exec. The only thing that took a little brain power was the layout of the menu etc...Not as intuitive as it could be...but trust me I am not complaining. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work dude…much appreciated!!!
I'd like to state that I love mortplayer.
I have a few problems with it though.
1. I can't figure out how to get avrcp to work. I have a ht820 headset.
2. I can't open settings. It hangs the phone/pda and I have to soft reset. Right now I've tried to stop all running programs and mortplayer settings won't stop. A soft reset stopped it.
3. The player's volume always seems to default to full when mortplayer is started.
4. What are the battery and calculator icons in the car skin for?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Porter
Hi, first of all thanks for the great app......i have a motorola HT 820 and an xda Trion and i've installed the V3.31 RC6 (b51)......the avrcp work ok but when i press the pause/stop/play button on my HT820 it will stop the music but i cannot resume if i press the same button again.....and then after that my pocket pc freezes and i have to do a soft reset......thanks

The battery shows the battery level, and the "calculator" is a cell phone, it shows the current signal level.

That's weird... Play and pause usually are handled equally, so there should be much difference in that... I'll do a debug version with some messages, maybe it calls some WMP method I don't fake the way it expects it. But if we're not lucky, it's a bug in the BT stack or some undocumented interface...
yeah i have tried it about 3-4 times now and the pda just freezes everytime i press that button.....thanks
hmm here's an idea. If you can access the caller id section, you can send the music titles as if a call was coming in.
i'm currently looking into the bluetooth stack and protocols, i'm not really satisfied with how things are now (i for example don't have caller id with name on my headset which should work though)

1. I have MortPlayer 3.31 RC6. Which BT Stack would I use for my setup?
2. It still freezes MortPlayer. When I go into the phone's settings and I attempt to stop running programs, Mortplayer Settings continues to be displayed.
3. Which volume setting would I want to select in the installation wizard?
4. Thanks.
Great program but I really want to get avrcp working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Whichever supports A2DP and AVRCP. Check the forum for your device to find out what's available. For some stacks you might need to rename MortPlayer.exe to WMPlayer.exe to get A2DP working. Except for the hangup at "resume" (see above) it seems to work with every stack that supports AVRCP in WMP.
2. It still freezes MortPlayer. When I go into the phone's settings and I attempt to stop running programs, Mortplayer Settings continues to be displayed.

You mean, MortPlayer works fine, but the settings program hangs? Is that immediately after it's started, after some action, or when you try to leave it?
3. Which volume setting would I want to select in the installation wizard?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's to your liking... The system volume isn't modified by MortPlayer unless you set it up that way, the relative volume is - as you realized - 100% by default (like all other applications without a relative volume slider). To modify that, you'd need to modify "Start and exit" - "Program start" - "Relative volume".

Yes, that's what I mean. MortPlayer works fine but, anytime I attempt to enter settings, settings freezes up. I've never been into settings nor do I know what's in settings because of the freezing up. I can still exit out of MortPlayer though.
Another thing that's been happening is, when I'm listening to one file, (usually a 3.5 hour mp3), somewhere in the playback, the player decides to start playing from the beginning of the next file. I've begun to set bookmarks more frequently because of this. I haven't been able to figure out if it's the file, the player or the phone. The file is a podcast of the Lex and Terry show.

That's very unusual. Did you try to reinstall MortPlayer? Maybe somehow MortSetup.exe or mpconfig.dll got file errors...

Usually, it's none of the tree, but the storage card. I don't know exactly how and why this happens, but sometimes, esp. if a card is under high stress (high bitrates, parallel navigation, ...) or quite old, reading the next block just returns "end of file" (sometimes also a read error, which would be more correct...). In some cases, even the file length is returned wrong, as if the file was just cut off. Usually it helps to delete the file and copy it again.

such a basic concept... was a cinch in my old ericsson K750i. i'd go to the bluetooth manager, click on file transfer, and drag files.
but its a whole new ball game now. have the vario ii. i don't see any file transfer service. i can't send stuff through file manager. the device is already coupled.
i've tried using total commander's bluetooth file transfer which detects my pc bluetooth but then just stops and does nothing. Infra red works, but its sloooooooooow.
any tips?

Maybe trying Resco Explorer (payware) and not to forget that incoming beams are checked might solve the problem
you'd think devices as powerful as these would have some built-in method of doing this easily. the ericsson's options totally blows this device's options out the water. i'm sure its doable but only through weird tricks or custom apps. for e.g. what about powerpoint presentation controls via the phone? my ericsson did it flawlessly... all built in.
beams are enabled, devices coupled. just can't send files. even tried using the file manager that came with WM5. no luck.
You can still use ActiveSync via bluetooth, you'll be able to access your device on your computer by the file explorer...
And yes, with Resco Explorer it is done very easily (tap and hold/send via bluetooth...)

freeware GSFinder (which personally i think is best avaiable freeware file manager for PPC) also does that. this option has hame 'Send via IR...' but it can also send via BT.
Haven't tried GSFinder and won't pay for Resco Explorer but I love Total Commander http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and have been using it since it first came out. Simple and powerful functionality along with Bluetooth file transfer.

In addition, beaming under WM5 / MS BT stack also transfers via BT, not only IrDA, as has also been explained in File and PIM transfer between Pocket PC and Palm OS devices & advanced Pocket PC Bluetooth answers and explanations ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )
(Furthermore, on Widcomm devices, it's FAR more compatible than Resco - please see the above-linked article. I've elaborated on all these questions there)
BTW guys, almost all the questions have been answered in my articles - make sure you read them, it's really worth reading all my articles.
About the "allow incoming beams" option, ive tried to get some files from a friends mobile by BT but it always says failed on thier phone?? Could it be because i have this option unticked??? (cant check as phone is away for repair)

If you untick the checkbox, you won't be able to receive anything over BT either (not only over infrared), as has also been explained in one of my well-known (it was frontpaged over at Pocket PC Thoughts too) articles: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1196&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I would be very interersted if you could please show me how to send any file via bt using total cmd, since as far as i can see it only supports ir transfer, which is the most annoying thing about it... i've been trying to solve this for quite a long time and no luck yet
You can send files over BT quite easily, no extra software needed. In file explorer, select the app you want and tap and hold. Then select beam file. First the Hermes will check IrDA, then it will proceed to sending thorugh BT. You will see the name of the other device you want to send to, then tap the name and it will start to send. Be sure to have your BT on and discoverable and tick "receive incoming beams", both in start-settings-connections.

some time ago i have noticed a beta version of Total Commander 2.5 - it finally supports Bluetooth file sending just the same way it did with IR transfer - very cool, finally i don't have to use standard file explorer no more...

Sending files via BT is a little but awkward in WM devices, as you need to choose 'Send via IR' or 'Beam' option to do it, and it is pretty much confusing with IrDA. But anyway, turn BT on, then select a file, and choose 'Beam' or 'Send via IR' option. Once sending windows shows, wait few seconds, and BT devices will start to appear there. That's it.
Koksie is right, is easy to send files via bluetooth using the file explorer, even though I have Resco I did it with the file explorer so you don't have to install anything.
- Just tap on the file you want to send, keep pressed until the context menu appears.
- Select Beam File, the device will look for nearby devices.
- Once the one you want to send the file to appears, tap on the right side "tap to send", wait a while, depending on the file size of your file.
- Done

use HTweakC/Pimp my Black etc. and enable 'OBEX' in bluetooth settings; then beam as normal and you will discover bluetooth devices on that list
I've always be able to transfer file between my iMac G5 and Hermes using Bluetooth however it think the speed is rather slow
using
Cingular 1.34 WM5 ROM ~ 22Kbyte/s
LVSW WM6 ROM 44-~50Kbyte/s
Anyone have comments on this?

Koksie, that was the most helpful reply yet. No secondary freeware or payware apps needed. Perfect! That just fixed the last complaint I had after upgrading to the Herm. Thanx again for the response.
Is there any way via bluetooth ftp to open a file that resides on the Hermes such as an mp3, bmp, or mpeg with your computer so that it "streams" via bluetooth so you dont have to transfer it first from your Hermes to your computer? Thanks.

Holy crap... I guess I really didn't understand what was going on as I stated in this thread, I had already been doing this kind of stuff using GoGadgets! from another developer. But now I get that its official from MS. They even took the EXACT SAME software that Ikanos Consulting created... sheesh.
Thanks for the video, I always thought that GoGadgets was cool stuff.
Hope this brings more light into this awesomeness.
I have already uninstalled it because I only care about anything "Media Center" SideShow. Haven't found one and haven't really looked for one as of late.
The T-Mo Wing is seriously underpowered but I was actually getting along rather smooth. Also using Bluetooth as the connection is sorta useless if you walk out of range. Which is not too far in my house. Connecting was fast and simple after the initial setup. The today plugin thing is nice but again sorta useless. I really expected it to have controls right there so you wouldn't have to navigate so many pages.
I know I am critical and this is the official first release and it is not even a finished product just a developers release. But it has potential.
very, very, very COOL!

I went through a bit of a headache getting mine to work. Maybe I can help. I just need you to write in a more coherent manner.
I had a few issues too. If I installed the PPC component before pairing, the PC would not locate and install the appropriate drivers. If I paired first, then enabled the SideShow BT service, the PC would locate and install the drivers just fine. I tried this several times, and that was the only way that worked for me. Weird. YMMV.
It's annoying that all the fancy new software is made for Vista.
*Crosses Windows Mobile Device Centre off the list
*Crosses Windows SideShow For Windows Mobile off the list
Alright. so a little batch of detailed insturctions about using this:
(during the process make sure your device is DISCOVERABLE)
1. It doesn't REALLY matter if you're using MS STACK or TOSHIBA STACK as long as there is a sideshow service detected.
A. if you have toshiba stack:
right click on the bluetooth tray icon and open the bluetooth devices.
add a new one and detect the service MANUALLY (choose CUSTOM).
if you see a service called "...sideshow..." on the list, you can use it. it is mostly UNprobable that you will.
connect to your device
continue to section C
B. if you have ms stack:
right click on the tray icon.
click options.
add a new device.
pair it using your own passkey.
open the options once more and you see your device in the Devices window.
click on it and click properties.
go to services and, if you installed sideshow on your device, and ran it, you should see Sideshow in the list.. as well as Activesync and a few others maybe.
click ok and it'll try to connect to your device.
(if you can't connect, go to COM ports in OPTIONS And install a new one. i used COM port 3..)
C. go to control panel, go to sideshow, and you should be able to mark V on the gadgets you'd like to use.
2. MS stack: double click the provided file. install it and read the TXT that appears on your desktop for further instructions...
TOSHIBA stack: just install the stack..
make sure you uninstall each before installing the other.
these are both the LATEST versions of both stacks: (up until the day of posting this message of course )
TOSHIBA STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120186967/TOSHIBA_BTSTACK.zip.html
MS STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120187911/MS_BTSTACK.exe.html
i strongly suggest you keep both files on your comp as a cover for any services one might provide while the other doesn't.
for instance, to my knowledge, MS stack works HORRIBLY with Async...
while TOSHIBA stack doesn't work with sideshow at all. (at least from what i've experienced)
