EDIT Help please... Bluetooth half-gone

Here goes.
I bought a Magician a few months back. Hated the lack of space but liked the Bluetooth functionality. I could connect wirelessly around the house no problem. Sending/receiving files to/from anyone with a Bluetooth device.
Decided to proceed with BigStorage ROM Flash. Flash succesful. Enjoyed adequate space. Hated Bluetooth. I tried to get some help in this forum but the help extended wasn't exactly too successful. I was missing the [`Bluetooth] option in ActiveSync [a registry key I believe], and I couldn't send/receive files. I decided to give up on it until I had enough time to retrieve the registry key by reflashing with shipped ROM and flashing back to BigStorage.
I found the time to do it last week. Flashed and reflashed several times [every single attempt was successful], checking and rechecking for the Bluetooth registry keys. Yet I couldn't find them.
My Magician can still detect Bluetooth devices so I'm sure the hardware isn't busted. But I can't even transfer files using Bluetooth. Tried installing that Bluetooth Stack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532. Added some new features, but functionality is as stated in this paragraph.
Help? ::crycry:: hahahaha
I am now totally clueless as to how to go about this predicament..
EDIT
I've recently did the BigStorage ROM on my Magician. And everything was just peachy. Up until I tried to sync my Magician to the PC via Bluetooth.
Before I did the ROM patch, I was able to sync my unit through Bluetooth after some few hours of tweaking my system. But after I did the patch, I tried to sync it again through Bluetooth. My PC was waiting for the Magician but the unit kept disconnecting itself.
I ran Activesync on the Magician, went to its settings, and the Bluetooth option was gone. Only `USB was left along with some numbers (baud rates?), when previously it had `Bluetooth as well.
I'm sure Bluetooth works (as I've installed the CAB associated with it from the ExtRom) on the unit since it can make a device pairing and ask for a passkey and all that, but syncing through Bluetooth doesn't work anymore.
Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

try pairing your device to the pc! make sure that ur pc is not listed on the magician paired devices, activate the pairing from the magician through bluetooth under settings system tab through "Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup" and go from there.
let me know how you go!

errr.. ok i tried what you suggested. and i'm starting to wonder..
now my device can't see and can't be seen. i can't make a pair anymore even from the pc. my unit says 'no new devices found' yet my pc is discoverable.
broken bluetooth radio maybe (but it was working before the patch...)? or could it be a cab file i missed?

Hi i'm only new myself but you could try a soft reset then retry pairing your device, or a hard reset and see if the bluetooth works then? or maybe even try the cab file on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532
I have found that worst case senario a hard reset and look for the right bluetooth cab to install from the ext rom.
run a search on this site for ext rom and look for the post with details about each of the seperate files and what they do!
*Edit* i did a quick search and i wasnt able to find anything in the ext rom that applies to bluetooth setup or settings! so i guess a hard reset maybe the best way to find out whether is software or hardware?!!
Maybe one of the more experienced guys on this site might be able to help you further.
Hope this helps a little

thanks for your time boh113. i can still sync through the USB port so i guess bluetooth will have to wait. i just use it for wireless internet around the house when i'm not at the pc anyway.
i might try the hard reset when i have more time to tinker with the magician. but in any case, i'd like to thank you for trying to help

just an update in case somebody can help
i managed to pair my device with the pc already. but i still can't connect via bluetooth in the magician's async.

ok i found something in my registry pertaining to my problem. although i'm not sure how to fix it.
in the magician's async, under tools -> options -> PC -> options, there's a drop-down list for PC synchronization options:
`115200 Default
`19200 Default
`38400 Default
`57600 Default
`USB
there was a `Bluetooth option included at the end of the list before i did the bigstorage ROM.
going back to the registry, i found the keys to this list (although i'm not entirely sure if these are correct, but these are the only ones on my list)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`115200 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`19200 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`38400 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`57600 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`USB
and to what i can see, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`Bluetooth doesn't exist. there are a whole lot of hex values under these keys and i'm not sure what they are for.
although if somebody could post/upload the `Bluetooth key from their device, i'd be grateful.
i'm aware that the hex values are also based upon hardware but i'm willing to try it out.

Ok i can find what your talking about but i dont have the ability to copy and paste the registry entry anywhere?!
if you can tell me how to get hold of this for you i'd be happy to help anyway i can!

most registry editors have the capability for exporting specific keys up to whole trees. perhaps if you have resco explorer and the registry add-on. or some other software similar to it. tap-hold and export?
thanks

I have resco explorer and the registry add-on but i cant find anyway to export the registry file?!
There's an option for import but thats it, also there's an option to copy but all it allows you to do is copy and past within the registry itself!
unfortunately i dont have the technical experience to do much ore tha n this, a quick guide as to which program to use and how to do it and i would be more than happy to help!

oh ok. open up resco explorer or the registry add-on. then navigate your way to this folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook
there should be a \`Bluetooth\ folder within \RasBook\ what you do is tap-and-hold on that (`Bluetooth) folder until you see the drop down text list. "Export..." should be one of the options then you can specify where to put it. by default resco places it in the main memory
will wait thanks boh113

No worries found it and exported for your satisfaction!
Had to zip it ;D
hope this can help you further!
Goodluck

Much appreciated!!
Will try it out in a bit. I'll post my results after
Thanks boh113!

well, i got back the `Bluetooth option in async. but still doesn't want to connect to the pc. the hex values probably don't match the hardware in my unit. oh well. i'll test it out a couple more hours. and if i still don't get it to work, a hard reset might be my only solution. or re-flash with my original rom and start all over again. hahahaha
thanks for your help and time boh113. forgive me for having taken too much of it

No worries, sorry i couldnt have been of more help!
Good luck with it all!

Turn On GPS Application Reg Hack Help

Hi all
I have used Mehayuk's brill guide to setting up the wizard http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53784&highlight=mda+vario
and have completed the following reg tweak
Turn On GPS Application (GPS not GPRS ie Navigation Stuff)
First of all, your MDA does NOT have GPS built-in; let's make that clear from the start.
However, Windows Mobile 5.0 includes a GPS Control Panel for ease of configuring Bluetooth GPS devices. This includes creating 'virtual ports' so that multiple programs can access the same NEMA GPS stream from said BT/GPS device. This is helpful for anyone who uses GPS for Navigation, War-Driving and lots of new emerging location-based programs which use GPS information available to your MDA.
Unfortunately, the Registry Wizard for tweaking the MDA available in this FAQ and over at xda-developers does not work with the T-Mobile ROMs. You have to manually edit the registry by following these instructions:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2"
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings
But i cant find the GPS panel anywhere can anyone help me out there.
:twisted:
Also I have used Resco explorer to find the folder on my network containing my music files, so i can stream them to my wizard and play them using TCMP player, i can see the files in the folder but how do i get TCMP to play them,
Instructions for a idiot who is a bit slow please :shock: :shock:
My wizard details are
ROM 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM Date 3/906
Radio Version 02.19.11
ExtROM 2.21.2.109

Many registry hacks require a soft reset... Just turn your device off and then back on.

I think the above reg hack is pre-aku2
The correct one is Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings DWORD "hide" change value from 1 to 0
and it will appear under settings\system not settings\connections
btw works on mine but i have no gps device - so fat lot of good it does me except the pleasure of a hack

There's also the redirect key which must be deleted.

Done the GPS Hack
Any help with TCMP Settings

I don't know about RescoExplorer, I use GSFinder which can also access network shares. So, when I want to listen to music files from my PC with TCMP I just launch TCMP -> File -> Open File and I just Open the Network Folder and select the song(s) I want to listen to. No special settings!

hmm, thats an interesting thing but....
my bluetooth gps works fine with multiple programs anyway, can use tomtom and wififofum both at once without enabling this gps hack. Maybe that why its hidden by default?

URGENT URGENT: Bluetooth OBEX

Hi all,
I am really mad from this OBEX bluetooth thing, I have spent a month trying to add BT OBEX support in my program but ith no luck, I scanned the internet line by line and found almost nothing.
I found things on codeproject and experts-exchange, but not of much use and some did not work correctly.
I saw some programs that deal with obex developed in this forum like GSMBeam and maybe others.
Any one knows how to program BT OBEX for file exchange?? I need to only send a file!! any libraries for evc++? I am really tired now and this is my last place to save my project.
I hope I will find help here

Don't know if this works for you... give it a go..
To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)
* The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex'
* The 'IsEnabled' DWORD value should be set to '1' to enable OBEX and '0' to disable OBEX.

Hi,
The problem is not with my device, the registry settings are correct, but I need help for developing my BT Obex application, specifically, I need my application to be able to send files to other devices via bluetooth (just like resco explorer).
ANY HELP GUYS? ANY C++ LIBRARIES? ANYONE DID THAT BEFORE?
please shade some light if you can.
Thanks in advance

Aaaa... IC
U could try here... http://www.gatefold.co.uk/obex/
It's a test-ware for sending contacts and files by bluetooth and there's a source and compiles software that u could d/load 2 test...
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for your help, but as I wrote in the first post, I need it for c++, I already have this library but unfortunately it is for .NET applications, not c++.
I need some help on c++
Thanks again.
Come on guys... provide something

Would this help you out?
And maybe this

Thanks _Nomad_ for your help.
But again, both links are dedicated to the .NET CF, but I am using eVC++, so they are not useful for me.
I need some thing to use in eVC++, not .NET.
Thanks anyway.
And Guys, if any body knows anything useful please let me know.

Use the force luke...
search for "obexsquirt"
the result will lead you to a full functioning c++ source code for obex transfer over both bt and irda.
cheers

Yes, thanks.
Actually I have the book that introduced this sample but some code is missing in the book.
I found another code derived from obexsquirt sample, it works fine but the problem is that it fails to disconnect from the target device and the connection remains open, I tried to debug it but found nothing to correct, the code seems to be written correctly but I don't know why the problem arises.
Please try to see the code guys and tell me whatever you get:

Automatic WiFi on startup (Hermes 200)?

Hello,
I'm new here (so please don't shoot me, i'm quite a rookie) and I've been doing a lot of search-work, unfortunately without result yet.
I'm trying to modify the registry for automatic WiFi "on" when the Hermes 200
is starting up after a power down.
Is there any possibility by modifying the registry or do I have to go deeper (dll, ROM etc?). I allready tried changing some settings in the registry without any result.
Some information:
PPC: HTC TyTn (Hermes 200)
OS: WM 5.0
ROM: 2.11.254.1
I would be very gratefull if anyone can point me in the right direction!

i'd like to know this as well, would b prtty nice to have.

use this: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis and put a shortcut with wifion option in \windows\startup.
cheers,
dan

Brilliant
This works!
Notice that you'll have to edit your command line like this:
\vjvolubilis.exe" -wifion
Many thanks, this was what I'm looking for!

Well, now we have succeeded in turning on Wifi the next issue to overcome is: Automatic connection to a preffered Wifi Access point. But how?
I suggest the tiny program vijay555 wrote does dynamicly change some registry settings (binary strings) to invoke the desired actions. Or do I think too easy?
Would it be possible to auto-connect to a preffered AP?

Bluetooth Name Change Software

Here you will find a little tool to change your Device's Bluetooth name without going to the registry yourself.
http://gbit.ath.cx
It's free and more apps will be released.

Thanks. This is exactly the type of thing I could use.

Would it be possible to make a program to toggle on/off the "Wireless Stereo" and/or "Hands Free" services for a particular Bluetooth device automatically.
I created the attached Mortscript file to do it, but it is very slow and cumbersome. I use this to allow me to switch from my Plantronics headset to my JVC radio when I am in my car. The SendKeys("Settings","2") line in the mortscript code is used to pick the headset named 260Plantronics in my bluetooth devices list. I thought you could make it use a parameter to pass the device name to the program, so any device may be chosen. I use the registry reading part of Battery Status to show me if the headset service is enabled or not.
The registry keys for the devices is under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device\???????????\Services\????????\enabled, where the first set of ?s is the device and the second set of ?s is the service. I tried changing the registry keys with mortscript but it doesn't affect the actual settings in the setting menu and the Plantronics is still connected. Even after a soft reset the Plantronics will still be connected even though the registry keys show 0 and the settings items are unchecked.
Code:
iscar=RegRead("HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device\000389c44266\Services\0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb\","enabled")
Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\BlueSet.lnk")
WaitFor("Settings",10)
SendKeys("Settings","2")
Sleep(500)
SendCR("Settings")
Sleep(500)
MouseClick("Settings",17,109)
MouseClick("Settings",17,127)
Sleep(500)
MouseClick("Settings",195,308)
Sleep(500)
Close("Settings")
Exit

installation folder
i have eten glofiish m700 with WM6.1
i installed the CAB & it created a new folder on the main memory called \pogram files%provider% with the BlueName folder inside it
i believe it should have created the BlueName folder inside the original main program files folder, so i did a copy & paste of the BlueName there
It works fine & nice & light software..does exactly what it should do ... but i wanted to mention the "folder" destination error to you
Thanks again for the nice cab

ok, thanks i will check the installation and upp a correct one.
