Hi, i'm having a problem with my i-mate JAM. I'm developing a point-of-sale software in evc++ and have been using ipaq's for the last three years without problems.
Now the customer wants to switch to an integrated pocket pc + cell phone so i'm currently testing my app on a JAM. But there are some issues with Bluetooth & PrinterCE (the printing driver i'm using). When printing to the virtual bluetooth COM port, sometimes it hangs for like 5 mins. in the middle of a printing job. it happens randomly.
Tried updating to the latest spanish rom available and it seems to work better but it still hangs. Tried with Bluesoleil's stack but it's worse.
Any hints?

I have upgraded to rom 1.72 and am trying to get my bluetooth gps setup without using the bluetooth tools. I can get the device added and it sets up the port profile fine. I installed pharos gps software and belkins gps software. The pharos software just exits when I turn it on for the gps to work, and the belkin just brings the ppc to a crawl. It never seems to get any data back though. I used the same gps on my laptop with a bluetooth usb device and it works fine that way. Can anyone give me any suggestions on making this work again on my ppc without having to install the bluetooth tools?

can someone tell me what bt stack we have on our mini?. I recently bought a BT foldable keyboard but somehow i can pair them but i cannot seems to get it to show what i am typing.
suggestions for widcomm?
:lol:
The mini runs the standard BT stack from Microsoft that comes as part of the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Phone Edition (this has got to be the longest product name in recent times ...)
Hi all, I bought a Qtek S100 and tried to connect it with my BT GPS receiver (Falcom Navi 1). It didn't work properly and I suddely lost te BT icon on the lower right hand side of the S100. It hasn't re-appeared even after several soft resets?
Does the S100 have the sae BT problems with GPS as the xdaII had?
I use BT GPS and the only problem so far is that I have to re-pair them sometimes.
Try Start->Settings->Connections->Bluetooth to get to the same screen as you would get to by clicking the BT icon.
THanks for the reply. Which BT GPS do you use? and with what Navigation program?
Holux GR-231 and TomTom3.
I am having problem with Bluetooth GPS as well. I have 2, one is iTrek Bluetooth GPS and one is ArcoreTech Bluetooth GPS.
Since I have tried both GPS units, I am pretty sure it's i-Mate JAM's Bluetooth problem.
Instead of upgrading my ROM to 1.06.00 WWE, I should have tried it out with version 1.03 first. I upgraded from 1.03 to 1.06 as soon as my JAM finished charging. BIG MISTAKE!
I ended up usiing "Pocket Bluetooth Tool" to designate COM8 (for example) for my GPS. However, if I happen to soft reset or turn of Bluetooth, I would have to pair it again.
I read many article's on the internet and the problem seems to point to the MS Bluetooth stack (instead of Widcomm used in my i-Mate PDA2K - and by the way PDA2K works perfectly with my GPS units).
Hopefuly i-Mate will address this problem during the next ROM update.
So how come Loboman's holux works ok?
Loboman are you using a different BT stack?
I would like to guess that he uses ROM version 1.03...

I use 1.06.00. All i do is that I tap on the BT icon, choose 'Devices', tap 'New...' and waits until the phone finds the GPS. Then I add it and pair it with the passkey. Then I had to scan all serial ports using a program that Holux supplies (I bet it works with any BT reciever though) to find out that my port was COM5 and finally I set my programs to use COM5. As I previously stated, I do have to re-pair them sometimes for some reason, but I can live with that.
I previously had an Acore unit which worked ok with my iPAQ 5450 (also MS BT stack) in WM2003. It took me all the way from northern Sweden to Barcelona in Spain last summer
I have not used Pocket Bluetooth Tool, but I have read about it. I think that it works without it so far. I also leave my BT on 24/7 since I don't think that it uses too much battery.
I hope things work out for you.
Absolutley no problems with Rom 1.01.01 Ger and Navilock BT-308 GPS-Mouse
I am not sure if the following has anything to do with Bluetooth but at least it cured my Bluetooth vs. GPS problem, for now.
On Club i-Mate's ROM update page, I found out that if the radio version is 1.10, then I am NOT suppose to apply the camera patch. After I uninstalled it, my JAM seems to work better with Bluetooth GPS units. My biggest problems were:
1. Once I soft reset my JAM, I have to re-pair my GPS units.
2. PrymeNav software took a long time to scan for GPS - and crashes sometimes when I designate already-scanned port.
3. Unable to hold two paired GPS units in Bluetooth Device List (though only used on at a time).
I have played with it after I uninstalled the camera patch and to this morning my GPS units still function well. Another key is to turn on the GPS unit and make sure it is linked (as indicated by its LED) - then turn on the GPS software. That way the hardwares are ensured to be linked.
As a side bonus, now I can perform Bluetooth Activesync on my Mac (via PocketMac software). However, I still require Pocket Bluetooth Tool installed on my JAM.
Weird!
Hi,
I've a SE K610i and a magician.
As I am using my K610i for 3G service, I was trying to pair it with my magician. Apparently, i can paired both of the device. However, when I'm trying to initiate the dialing from my magician, it doesn't seems to connect to the phone to dial it. Basically I would like to use my PDA to surf with 3G speed (pairing with the mobile phone) and make normal calls with my magician. Would that be possible?
Is there any guide on how to do it? and also, is it because the standard magician bluetooth software does not support it?
Thanks & Regards,
i also have the similar problem when i want to connect my o2 mini to my K810i for internet connection. My O2 mini does not connect to the mobile phone via bluetooth. Connect by Infrared is working fine. Transferring files via bluetooth is working fine too.
My setting did not have any problem because it working fine with my treo 750.
Anyone can help me?
Are there really nobody in o2 mini anymore? OK, for the one that still with the mini. I have found the problem. When pairing O2mini bluetooth with any other phone which you want it to act as a data modem, just click 'NO' when u being ask 'will you want to add a serial port". You should able to dail after this.
If you replace the microsoft bluetooth stack with the Blue Soleil one (available on these forums) you get a hell of a lot more functionality with the bluetooth, it also adds the PAN facility. I have successfully connected my magician to my K800i and my C905 and both will suft the net perfectly well. You can do the same with the broadcom bluetooth stack on your home pc.
Hi!
I've installed a great ROM from babak00000, with Windows mobile 6.5, but i'm now having a bluetooth issue:
- i've got a GPS devide that i use. I've installed the device and user until yesterday without problems. But today I had a problem: my GPS software in Prophet did not recognize the gps device.
- i looked at bluetooth devices under WM, and saw that it was not connected. I used the option to connect, but it gives me an error: device could not bo connected because there was a problem in connection or PIN is incorrectlike that. Well, Pin is correct, so I think it is a problem with something else...
- I have a bluetooth headset that works without any problem. I do not use both bluettoth devices at same time
- I've tried to disconnect GPS device, and reconnect again from the beginning, but the problem keeps appearing.
-I've got configured GPS device with port COM6, and the GPS software as also COM6. Without issues till today.
- I've tried to disconnect and reconnect bluetooth in pda, but with no success...
Does anyone know something about this? Can somebody help me?
Recent edit: I've made a full backup and a hard reset, and the problem keeps annoying.....
