1.12.00 WWE ROM, Bluetooth COM Port settings, ActiveSync

Hi all,
I've just recently upgraded to the above ROM- everything else seems to be fine but I've just realised that the 'Settings' for BT are slightly different to my original rom version.
I can pair the JAM fine with the PC but it won't let me connect. As I look at the BT settings, I can see the following tabs: Mode, Devices and COM Ports; it's the COM ports that has changed. It's got New Outgoing Port and New Incoming Port. When i select either of these I can't assign any port number; the drop down list is blank.
P.S. I was able to connect fine via BT using my original ROM v1.00 or something.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

hey man
i just posted another querry regarding the card reader ...
hope u read it !!
getting back to yr problem
follow the instructions on this link and yr problem will be solved (HOPEFULLY)
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=544932

I remember reading that link a while ago but I got the BT working without Pocket Tools software...
Anyway, I've tried both versions from the website but after installing either of them, the connect via bluetooth in Tools of ActiveSync is not there; just the IR. As soon as I uninstall the software it's back there.
I thought I had mastered the myth of Jam and Bluetooth- looks like back to square one!

Sorry - I'm just impatient- reinstalled and re-paired a few times and all is fine now.
Thanks for your help.

reinstalled what may i ask? im having this exact problem at the mo

Instructions from the top of my head (excuse any errors)
1) I removed the Pocket Bluetooth tools from remove programs
2) Perform soft reset and remove any existing paired devices
3) Reinstall the Bluetooth Tools (i used the an earlier version)
4) Select ActiveSync check box
5) The device should be paired
6) Go to to ActiveSync on PPC; go to tools and you should see Connect BT with ***
This should work.

Qtek 9100 + MS voice Command

Have a problem, I´m not able to install MS voice command on my 9100.
No problem with S100 runnin W2003.
But Is it it compatible with w2005?
Every time I try to do this is says: cannot install.
Why?
Please help, really want it on my 9100!

which version of voice command are you trying to install?

1.0, and then upgrade to 1.5..
That´s the only files I have. But I cannot get 1.0 to work, so its pretty hard to upgrade to 1.5...
But it worked to do this on S100

I had the same issue. I dont have it in front of me, but here's the process.
Install version 1.0. In the activesync application manager, uncheck version 1.0 so that it uninstalls from the PDA but not from the desktop. Install version 1.50.
After it goes through its install process, make sure that its checked in the activesync app manager.
Hope this helps, I had to do it a couple of times, (check version 1.0 to install, then uncheck again).

Txh!

Hi!
I've tried voice command 1.5 on a qtek 9100 and it is really slowing everything down so much I had to turn it off. Starting programs, switching between them and using any program is a real pain with Voice Command enabled :-(
Does any of you have the same problem?
Regards,
// aste - writing this on the phone

Sorry no problem for me on a Qtek 9100...

I had Voice command 1.5 on my Magician (MDA Compact) which worked fine, I put it on my Wizard (Vario) and it was slowing it down so I transferred it to Storage card and it appears to be better. Only problem is on soft rest it says voice command cannot be found and you have trouble removing the warning box it sticks around for ages. When installing it also says...won't work properl on storage card, put on phone or something, but it works just fine.

I've got it installed on my Vario (on the phone) and it's not slowing it down at all.

Himalya WM5

Hey guys,
Newbie here
I have a himalya(XDAII)
Rom Vers. 1.66.00 WWE
Radio 1.10.00
I want 2 know whether i should upgrade to WM5 or not
I mean is it really worth it or not
Can any one help and guide me step by step
[/b]

...
Well the upgrade to WM 5.0 is not so easy and clear (for newbie) as the upgrade for WM2003SE. I mean the additional installations of postinstallfixes,DOCtools,RAMdisk,MMS,etc(all things must be installed separately,while 2003se's ROM is completely prepared). Anyway try the web server made by our King of Himalaya (BL) http://buzzdev.net
it is described there a lot about,or try the discussion board for WM5 especially.
I want to notice you for few recommended steps:
1. what size of RAMdisk do you want to use? (My recommendation is 64/64).
2. flash ROM image patched with current RAMdisk size (Use HimaUpgradeUt_noID)
3. install DOCtools to raise up your Storage space
4. do a hard-reset(for DOCtools)
5. after start-up install PostInstallFixes(shipped in zip with ROM image)
6. install RAMdisk with your preffered size
7. Install MMS
8. beware of installation of old software(some software is not able to run under WM5)
If you will have any question,I can maybe help.

Thanx
wat i really want 2 know is whether upgrading 2 WM5 would be worth the trouble or not.....i mean is the OS really that gr8??
i'm a new user of O2 and dont want 2 fiddle 2 much with my fone coz i might wreck it!!
i'll only do an upgrade if WM5 provides me with some additional utilities otherwise i'm quite happy with WM2003...

...
Well there are 3 major problems with WM5:
-I am still unable to establish ActiveSync connection via USB(you need at least ASv4.0)(I am using BT for connection)
-The camera software is really crap and portation from 2003se is not yet done
-Sometimes there's a problem with phone(call answer,establish,end etc.)
Anything else is really good and better than before. The system is running rock-solid without crashes. The biggest + is that this PPC system is also possible to install(and run)Smartphone applications. Don't be afraid of upgrading. Just beware of bootloader upgrade and you can't wreck it. When the flashing procedure will be unsuccessful,just start the upgrade again and it must working. But read all things carefully about upgrade,what is DOCtools,what is RAMdisk etc. that you can purely understand it.

I've tried it twice and went back to WM2003se twice.
I found it annoying that my camera and record buttons stopped working.
Other than that WM2005 was a nice OS to use.
Pity there isn't a final release for the XDA II.

...
It can't be official for Himalaya,coz the hardware isn't designed for WM5. Especially the memory system(128RAM,32Flash). This new OS has a different memory organisation,that uses Flash for all things including installed software while RAM is used only for running system and apps. Therefore you will need this combination at least:128Flash,64RAM. Himalaya basically offer 128RAM for running(too much)and 32MB as a storage(too low).

I didn't notice any problem with buttons. It is also working the AEBPlus utility problemless. The flashback know I also. Once tried Magneto,flashed back to 2003se. And again and again and again...coz a lot of problems I've had with the system. Then I've studying buzzdev.net and step-by-step solved problems. Now I have it totally and it's running great.

Hi
I'm running WM2005 at the minute, but want to go back to WM2003SE, as I'm having problems syncing with hardware at work.
Only problem is, since I changed laptops, I can't get my XDA2 to connect with my PC at all! I've tried installing latest ActiveSync 4 from Microsoft site on my home PC (thinking there are fewer things to stop it syncing on the home PC), so that I can go back to WM2003SE.
However, 2 problems:
- 1) still can't make a connection with the PC - don't even have the Code 28 problem anymore (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264693/en-us) as the system installs a Network Adaptor device driver called "Windows Mobile-based Device"
- 2) once I do connect, unsure of how to go back to WM2003SE - thinking I could simply run the Xda_II_172181_Final.exe ROM file that I downloaded from O2 UK.
If anyone can shed any light, would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this, so go easy on me!
Would like to be able to continue running with my Vodafone SIM once this is sorted.
Thanks.

As I wrote:
>1. I am still unable to connect via USB. I am using Bluetooth. Maybe I need SP2 for WinXP. Don't know. AS4 is using the connection with WM5 little bit differently as 2003se. This connection goes via network connection,not directly. Try this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
>2. For flashing another ROM image:Just use HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe with current OS image file nk.nbf to flash. These files you can download at the FTP of this server. The nk.nbf filename is the same for all ROM images,therefore be sure of version. Copy these 2 files to same directory,put your Himalaya to bootloader mode and start the exefile.

Hmm...
Perhaps i should have a good read of the buzzdev forums and try again.
Other than that I'm going to be due an Upgrade in fecuary so i might just stick with 2003se and get a WM5 sevice when my upgrade comes. 8)
I'm glad i got the XDA II. I was using a P900 but having a pocket PC phoner seems better for me.

...
Well the WM5 system for XDA II will never have an official release. When I was buying my MDA II,I've had two choises(MDA II vs.P900). Some + was for MDA,some for SE. In total that was two equable devices. I bought my Himalaya due the price was a little bit lower. Now the SE-P900 costs in a second hand 200Euro and MDA II 400Euro. MDA II is much better than P900. The hardware and as well the software. Now I know,that it was my good choice to take MDA II instead of P900. Now when it is possible to use UNofficial Magneto is the Himalaya back on the top.

BLUETOOTH PROBLEMS !(for TomTom GPS receiver) HELP ME please

hi guys i'm a newby (this forum is great!)

Appears continuosly the message
"Desligue o modo de voo em primeiro lugar!"
i think it's spanish or portoguese, but i don't undestand why, because i have the italian rom. U(maybe because i had installed before another version of tomtom navigator with portoguese map?)

The ?best? bt patch can be found here: O2 MINI NEW BLUETOOTH STOCK.

Find yourself a rom on the ftp, either shipped-rom (.exe) or image file (.nb1) and give me signal what you've chosen. I'll send you the instructions for the necessary steps.

Hello!
Before upgrading your Magician, You should test your bt GPS connection with an other little GPS software like cemonitor ( download link--> http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/download.asp?dl=1 )
Try to find your BT GPS com Port normally is com 5. If not I give you a little soft that map the com5 automatically at start. It is "tomtom5patch.exe" that must be on your "\windows\Startup\" folder.
SoftReset your Magician after this install.
In CEmonitor, set the com 5 and look if your GPS communicate.
I forgot to tell you to set the BT GPS on the windows settings, with the correct password. You probably made it before.
Try it and ask again...

nothing to do
the first patch is good but doesn't resolve my problem
that damned write in spanish continues to appaer when i try to make bluetooth work and bluetooth shut down.
the second patch doesn't work, when
i think i have installed a wrong or damnaged software on the PDA in the past that has ruined something...
THANK YOU for the helping,
now i'll try to install a new rom with your help.
have you got any suggestion for the rom to install?
do they work all fine, even in italy? wìhich is the best one in your opinion?
is there the risk to damnage the magician?

There's a 1.12ITA shipped-rom on the ftp under magacian. This is the safest upgrade.
- make a backup of every piece of data you want to keep, especially contacts, calendar, tasks. Everything will be lost & programs need to be reibstalled
- synchronize with outlook via Act.Sync
- Download the ITA1.12 shipped-rom
- execute the downloaded file
- follow instructions on your PC & watch the progress on the magician as well
- when finished, you'll be asked to hard-reset
- hard-reset & enjoy the upgraded magician
- synchronize the outlook data
- reinstall your programs
That's it.
Regards, M

it seems simple...
now i try

grazie !!
thank you all
now al things work perfectly.

You're welcome.

Hi,that message(desligue o modo de....)compare from a few time on my magician.The rom is the same from 8 month,and the messagge compare from 1 month.The only things that I change are the 2 giga sandisk,and I installed 3 different navigator on my device.I don't think the problem comes from rom(1.12 ita),maybe from sd or other navigator?

BT problem - need help - solved

I don`t know it this counts but I`m using WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5 ROM
and Radio ROM 1.15.00.
I found on the net bluesoleil bluetooth stack - so I decided to change it from original one witch comes with ROM (I`ve heard that this stack is better than MS stack). I installed cab as normal program. After soft reset I lost any bluetooth settings. So I remove this stack using Remove Programs (not without problems - some files stayed) - but it didn`t help - for example I didn`t have Bluetooth settings in HTC Comm Manager - "The file 'NULL' cannot be opened.".
So I found on this forum Broadcom stack build 3900.
I have done the 3900 upgrade (using this time restartradio - according to wiki) and after this the BT fails to start due to insufficient driver memory available (there is 60mb of available program memory). I`ve no access to Advanced tab and BlueTooth Manager. Soft reset the device as instructed - same thing.
Bluetooth in Settings always shows "Bluetooth is OFF".
In Remove Programs there is no Broadcom stack, Bluesoleil was.
So, my request is - What should I do to restore standart settings comes with ROM? How to remove broadcom stack? Any ideas?
Best regards,
Watcher01

One and very easy: do a PROPER hard reset and you have everything back working and then restore your backup from before the installation of BT stack.
BTW: where did you find BlueSoleil stack for PPC? Never heard of BlueSoleil writing stacks for Windows Mobile.

Find the Helmi MS_enable cab and install it; you'll get the ms stack back.
@jakubd: The bluesoleil stack for mobile isnt working on BA; will install, but you get the Null error.

Hard reset is not an option - I`ve installed to many programs to do it again -
so I`m looking for easy way to restore default stack without hardresetting

I can`t find this cab. I`m looking for it on this forum and in google - nothing found till now. Also I want to remove Broadcom cause it`s using about 3 MB precious main storage, but I don`t know which files and where do I have to remove (there is no information in Remove Programs)
