Hi everybody.
I would know if it's possibile to use the Microsoft bluetooth stack on Qtek9090 instead of the broadcom one.
I need this because I've developed a java application and a JNI dll that uses the MS stack functions in order to connect the PDA to our custom hardware via bluetooth. It was developed for a qtek2020 but now I need to use it on a 9090 too.
I don't want to spend $1500 for a devkit from broadcom....
Any help?

I have been developing an application that communicates via BT SPP and resides on the XDA as well as other Pocket PC devcies. It seems that whenever I have to use the Microsft BT stack I have to tailor a solution for each device.Is it possible to download onto a PocketPC device a different stack, for example Widcom? What is involved ?

hi, I'm trying to develop an app wich uses SPP, i'm on an Acer n50 handheld running WinCE 4.21 with the Widcomm-Broadcomm stack 1.5.0 build 3601, what i want to do is unload the Widcomm stack and use the MS stack, my guess is that since the Widcomm stack is just a device driver it can be unloaded, at least for the time my app runs and then reload the widcomm stack, so my question is : is this even possible to be done?, if so what kind of tools would i need to accomplish this daunting task
thanks!

not sure but i suspect that the ms bluetooth stack is absent in roms made with the other bluetooth stacks
havent heard about anybody going from 1 stack back to ms bs
ROMs with BT stack don't contain most of core DLLs from MS BT stack. You can use PlatformBuilder and compile the missing DLLs yourself, edit the registry, etc. But this does not worth the effort. Widcomm stack is better and more stable than MS.
And you cannot dynamically unload one BT-driver and then reload the other one without the softreset.
:?: :?: :?: Why would anybody want the MS stack in favor of the Widcomm :?: :?:
MS stack has one advantage over Widcomm - its programming is done through windows sockets and you don't need to pay 1000$ for SDK.
Hi,
I bought a Dopod 818 Pro and happily loaded the drivers for my Think Outside BT Keyboard. Unfortunately the BT Keyboard on the Prophet tells me :
Bluetooth system not detected.
Current version of the keyboard/mouse driver supports the following Bluetooth stacks
Widcomm BTW CE 1.4.x - 1.5.x
Drakar (Socket) 6.x.x
Microsoft
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get this to work? Think Outside is very slow to update their software / drivers. One option seems to me to load either the Widcomm or the Drakar stack. Any one tried something like this?
Thanks & Best Regards
Of course Prophet running WM5 and has Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. I think the version is 2.0. Is newer then before. No way to use other Blue tooth stacks on Pocket PC.
the BT stack onthe prophet is total garbage, only supports 2 services.. the older widcom stack for the 2K3 pdas have like 14 services

Same Microsoft s#%t as on Windows XP. My Sony Vaio comes with MS stack, and ....it supports only 2 services. So I have built-in BT, but can use it only for a BT mouse or modem.
Hi all! Just get Pharos (some days ago), first PDA for me.
I've tried to get work Bluetooth PAN, but unfortunally it works for ICS only, Pharos works as NAP. But I need to connect it as PANU to PC that is NAP.
As I read here and in some another forums this is a "feature" of a Microsoft BT stack. MS guys knows best what we need?
There are some solution for another devices that replace Microsoft BT stack with Broadcom or Bluesoleil one.
I've tried Bluesoleil, but it can't see bluetooth adapter on my Pharos, and there were no way to return for MS instead of Hard reset.
Has anyone another solution for it?
Hey all,
I'm trying to pair a PPC with SonyEricsson's bluetooth watch MBW-150 to use moneytoo's brilliant SmartWatchM. This worked fine with my old PPC running the Microsoft bluetooth stack. My new PPC (LG KS20) uses the Widcomm/Broadcom stack, believed to be cleverer than the MS stack.
Here's the problem:
The PPC will not pair. The watch does not send out information according to the BT Service Discovery Protocol (SDP), because it was never meant to be paired with anything else than SE phones. The Microsoft stack didn't care and paired nonetheless. The Widcomm/Broadcom stack, however, will pair with BT devices only if it finds a supported profile. The watch uses the Serial Port Profile (SPP), but it doesn't say so, not sending any SDP information to the PPC. The PPC would support SPP of course, but doesn't pair as it has no way of knowing that the watch supports this profile.
In the end, when I try to pair, the PPC will see the watch but doesn't know what to do with it, and will not pair.
Is there any way of pairing (using a Widcomm/Broadcom stack) without SDP information? Can I enforce pairing with the watch? (I can easily insert serial port settings in the reg manually.)
Or can I somehow change my BT stack? I've read that the only way to do that would mean changing the ROM ... :-(
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
N.
I'm using 32feet.NET library that supports only MS BT Stack. Fortunately I have just found this lib http://franson.com/bluetools/ that seems to support Widcomm Stack. I will try it soon.
EDIT:
What BT stack is on it? Is it Broadcom? Widcomm on Motorola Q9 is ok and lets you to pair device without any service but Broadcom on a one HP iPAQ I have tested doesnt.
EDIT2:
Not a good news. Franson Bluetools doesnt work on smartphones. I dont know much about this stuff but from what I have read it seems like pairing/bonding request is possible only in MS BT stack (via some non official function) and it's disabled in other BT stacks because of security issues.
Thanks for chiming in, moneytoo!

This may be a noob question but: How do I tell whether it's Broadcom or Widcomm? Is there still a difference since Broadcom bought Widcomm?
Anyway, BT manager will not pair ("no supported protocol found").

I'm afraid that's true. I haven't found anything so far that would point me to a workaround, backdoor or anything - and as my KS20 is a company phone I can hardly change the ROM
Let's hope someone comes up with an idea!
