bluetooth activesync following BigStorage patch? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi all,
I have a T-Mobile (UK) MDA which I have BigStored - the result is great - apart from the fact that I no longer seem to be able to setup activesync over bluetooth. I no longer have the "Activesync" button on my bluetooth setup screen - anyone got any ideas? Please!
Martin

Sorry - ignore this - my bad! I was looking in the wrong place - had forgotten that the bluetooth active sync setup is in Settings->System->Bluetooth NOT Settings->Connections->Bluetooth...

The BT Lan Access Service using Microsoft BT Stack has been removed in the registry. It's been like that since XDA2.
I do not know if there is a corresponding driver available in MDA Compact such that you can re-enable the service via updated registry entries.
Anyone?
i think it needs the ppp bluetooth profile
and ms bluetooth stack dont have that
vidcomm bluetooth stack does....
you can try using that

Found the reg entry with missing configuration:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001102-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="Lan Access"
and here are some more...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001105-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="OBEX Push"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001106-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="OBEX FTP"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001112-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="Headset Audio Gateway"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB]
@="HID"
Anyone knows enough of these entries?
just add those to your device, apply the other things from msdn you've found and restart your device. then scan your ppc on the pc for open services...
I have found a workaround
I'm the happy owner of an MDA Compact and a Siemens blue2net access point. Indeed, the Microsoft Bluetooth stack refused to talk to the access point, which only offers the "Lan Access" profile.
I tried the suggested registry hack. Good idea, but sadly it does not work. It would appear that the "Lan Access" profile is simply not supported by the Bluetooth stack - it has not just been disabled by deleting a few registry entries
However, I found a workaround. After a few hours of fighting with the Microsoft stack, I downloaded a free Bluetooth stack from Toshiba (http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/) that supports the "Lan Access" profile. I did a full backup of my MDA Compact, adopted the "brace position", and prepared for a crash landing (aka hard reset).
After installing the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, I simply had to do a soft reset to activate it. Big surprise for me: my MDA still worked. Clicking the Microsoft Bluetooth icon in the status bar now told me that my toy had no Bluetooth support; however, clicking the new Toshiba Bluetooth icon brought up a different (and better, IMHO) Bluetooth interface. From here I could see the blue2net access point. Not only that - I could actually connect to it. The rest was piece of cake: add the Bluetooth device and configure a modem connection via it. I am now happily surfing the web via Bluetooth
The only caveats I have so far are these:
1) I now have a disfunctional Microsoft Bluetooth icon in the status line. I would like to get rid of that. Please drop me a note if someone knows how to do that.
2) When using the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, the diode above the screen does not blink blue when Bluetooth is active. A small price to pay for having internet access
i am about to do as lars_juhl has stated on my xda II knowning that he messed with mda compact and i have a xda II but still i am going to do as he has stated will let you guys know wat happens.
FINGERS CROSSED !!

I think you're supposed to download the 'Pocket PC 2002 / Windows Mobile 2003' bluetooth stack. This shows version 5.01.
Goodluck.

Hi,
I've one question:
(a) Apart from Internet access, do you have other BT functions working?
e.g. Headset/Handsfree, BT ActiveSync??
The BT Tray Icon can be removed by deleting this registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
then reboot.
If you don't wish to remove the key, you can disable it by editing this parameter value under the registry key
change
"Dll"="BTIcon_Dll.dll" to
"Dll"="BTIcon_Dll.dll.disabled"
then reboot. When WM2003SE tries to load the Dll driver, it can't find it and therefore the MS BT system tray icon will not be activated.
The download is here:
http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php
Works great on my MDA Compact too (DLINK BT-900ap).
Many thanks for this idea.
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn on/off the bluetooth radio once this stack has been installed ? I have the feeling that it is always on, consuming precious energy...
BTW has anyone tried headsets with this stack. Do they work ?
Thanks agian,
Martin

Yeah, I have the same question.
And one more: After turning off/on toshiba bt icon disappers. How to fix it?
it works for me but how can i turn bluetooth off ?!! i think it goes ON all the time
Yeah, the BT icon is disappearing after turning the device off as well as sometimes ramdomly.
The set-up app (bt_setup) cannot be restarted without soft reset, I get following error "An error occured with th Buetooth Card Confirm that the card is working properly."

I installed the Toshiba bluetooth stack on my I-Mate Jam and it ROCKS - it includes ALL the functionality missing in the MS stack!
...BUT...
It is unstable as hell (I have experience all the bugs listed in this thread) 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)?

BT Activesync problem

I used to be able to connect to activesync via bt. But after a recent hard reset, when I tap on bt in ActiveSync in my PPC, it just does nothing. No response, no error message, just nothing happens.
However BT headset works fine.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
I got the same problem with ActiveSync via Bluetooth after I upgrade my Xda II from ROM version 1.52 to 2.06. Transfering files via BT works fine, but not activesync.
I keep searching the posting for solving the problem
Abah
Maybe a stupid question, but did you re-create the ActiveSync bluetooth bond on your XDA2 before trying to use AS? I made this mistake after a ROM update a while ago.
After the ROM upgrade, don't just create a new bond to the PC through the Bluetooth page. You must go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Bluetooth Settings and then tap the 'Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup' button, which creates a bond ready for BT ActiveSync.
Of course, you may know this so this may seem like a silly suggestion, but this is the mistake I made after a ROM upgrade... :roll:
BT ActiveSync Problem on XdaIIs Solved
Hi SiliconS,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. My Xda can ActiveSync via Bluetooth now. I am very happy with it.
It was 3 weeks after upgrading, I searched thru the posting on the Internet. I share my problem and request help. Almost everyday looking the site waiting for the reply.
Tonight is my great night, you came with suggestion and solve my problem.
After I removed bonding device, I performed Soft Reset. On Bluetooth Setting, I unchecked Passkey Require, uncheck Inbound and Outbond Com Port, then select Start and continue rebounding device.

Can't set up bluetooth activesync on O2 mini

Hi all,
I'm running 1.12.00 WWE after upgrade from O2's German firmware, and all was good. I also gave the new BCHS bluetooth patch a try, didn't seem to have any benefits though.
My problem is that the bluetooth setup in my software looks different from that detailed in all the online help documentation, so I can't follow the instructions to set up activesync via bluetooth.
In 'Settings', I have a 'Bluetooth Setting' item, which in turn has a 'Press Start to setup' activesync option, but all that does is ask me to start bonding with other bluetooth device which supports serial port or activesync profile as your activesync partner.
I can't get past that, as my phone is already paired with my laptop.
Any suggestions on how I can either get this to work as-is, or what I need to do to get the neccessary bluetooth settings software back on the Magician?
Thanks!!

Just bought my new vario 2

Hi, jus got my new T-mobile Vario 2 , this is my second post and i am sorry to sound like such a noob! Isit possible to connect to my laptop an sync my device via the inbuilt bluetooth on my laptop! also does anyone rate the i-mate jasjam rom? t-mobile one seems ok for now!
Hi @zReAl_uK
I messed around with Active Sync on my Vario II for a while to get it to work. Couple of things I discovered:
1) the ActiveSync version on the T-Mobile CD wouldn't work, I needed to upgrade it to 4.2
2) the Bluetooth sync doesn't sync files - only mail/contacts info, so i actually found the USB connection more straightforward (besides by mail/contacts are always synched using DirectPush)
