I own 2 Magician devices (A and B), both Bluesoleil stack installed and working. Problems arise when i try to connect the two devices directly via pan. On Device A i initiate the PAN connection via "Bluetooth Manager->Device B->Scanning Services->PAN". Now Device A shows (status) an PANGN connection outgoing and B has an PANGN connection incoming. Device A starts IE and a getting IP dialog right after connection initiation.
So far so good. But both devices are on completely different subnets. While Dev. A is on sth. like 169.254.182.118, B's IP is completely different. Now if i try to fire up a game of snails for testing on A, i see the game open on B but joining leads to system hang. (Tried Warfare Inc., same results.)
As i am pretty new to this topic, maybe so. can tell me what went wrong... is it even possible to build up a PAN that way?!
Best Regards,

Very intresting.
I played Snails between Magician and Windows XP PC and all was good.
Try to join from device B to Device A, or try to disable DHCP service and setup IP manually...
thx for your reply. your answer triggered sth in my ol'rusty brain ... There ARE options to change ip/mask/gw etc. but they aren't to be found under bluesoleil settings
lol
thx again,
regi
I just noticed something weird: both of my Magicians have the same hw-address: 00:02:5B:00:A5:A5... that's why my PAN network (using Bluez stack and Debian) always keeps disconnecting one of the devices. it thinks it's the same device. any way to change this address?

i think that is also the reason why i am not able to play games ....
Maybe this address is hardwired in the BT stack. Chances are you find this string in the .CAB used for installation. If so: you can change it to your liking.
We have the same problem here, also opened a new topic about this.
A friend and I have a Magician, and like yours the same bluetooth adress
(00:02:5B:00:A5:A5)
The weird part is that when we just both installed bluesoleil, we were able to play warfare over the PAN.
But 2 days later, it stops working??? As you said, every time one tries to connect, it hangs. Have to reset every time.....
I tried to change the adress in the register, but no luck so far It changes back by itselves?
Does anybody know a solution? And can someone confirm that the problem is caused by the same device name?
thnx
Where to start...
One of my phone lines on my account is my old 6700. The bluetooth and my car (2007 bmw 335i) worked once while the phone was stock, then never worked again. Then i upgraded to wm6 for the apache. The bluetooth and my car worked well for a while, then all of a sudden one day stopped working. I hated the trouble that it used to cause my, so i added a 2nd line on my account for my 'car' phone. I went with a motorola krzr after i was told motorola bluetooth stacks have no problems with most cars bluetooth stacks. I also had a samsung upstage before the krzr that had no problem syncing with my car, but would never send the correct information to my car i.e. when a call was coming in, it wasnt the correct caller displayed. The krzr worked perfect. Anyways, I smashed my krzr (after the lil nephew soaked it in saliva and the buttons stopped working) and was 'forced' to buy the new touch phone. Since purchasing the touch, i cant get it to sync with my car I had it ONE time come up in my list of bluetooth devices, but when i tried to connect, it would fail, then i would refresh and it would be gone. Please somebody help me. I was hoping that i could get rid of my 2nd line and finally have 1 phone! Is there an update for the bluetooth stack? is there a registry hack? is there anything?
Thanks in advance for anybody that can help me...

You need to download a cab file from Jetware Mobile. Just do a google search for it. Works on alot of PPC phones
well i tried it, and still no luck
this is the ONLY problem with the touch i have encountered so far.

I had the similiar problem. I was trying to send the file via bluetooth from Touch to Motoming. The devices were already paired. But I couldn't send file via bluetooth. When I selected file and tried to send it from explorer it blinked the device selection screen and I returned back to explorer.
To send the files via bluetooth I had to install resco explorer. And from resco explorer I was able to select the device, and send files via bluetooth.
Bluetooth in Touch is very buggy.
I have a Cingular 8125 with original WM5 ROM. Recently got a Bluetooth mouse and adapter for my laptop so I was trying to get 8125 paired up. It seems like very few bluetooth profiles show up. Previous devices (Loox, Ipaq2215) seemed to have a lot more profiles/services.
On my laptop I have this Bluetooth adapter with their recommendedToshiba Bluetooth drivers/stack...

It would be nice to have a Bluetooth Utility that used all the available features. Is there anything to expand on the over-simple WM5 Bluetooth control panel? Something that shows more info/profiles/services from the other devices it sees via Bluetooth.
I got ActiveSync working with help from this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259946
I cannot get File Transfer to send to PC via Beam in WM5 file explorer.
I'd also like to find some cool software for phone to phone bluetooth, like a chat program or some games (even something simple like battleship ).
I found references to several addon programs...
-Sniper - bad links now though, is/was this freeware
-DR.jar - couldn't find the software
-Blueooth from pre-WM5 pocketpc200? OS, seemed buggy based on comments
So... is there anything new and free to help get the most out of this PC-8125 connection?
Thanks!!!
to xfer files to my PC with bluetooth I had to right click on the bluetooth icon in the tray and choose 'Receive a file'. Took me forever to figure it out. Have you tried this?
Any of you have a problem with Bluetooth failing? I've noticed that while tethering, if I'm doing anything particularly high-bandwidth, Bluetooth utterly fails. For example, while downloading torrents, watching youtube videos, or video calling, my connection fails and I need to soft reset my phone before it'll work again.
If I try turning Bluetooth off, then on again before a soft reset, the phone hangs at the "turn Bluetooth on?" query screen and doesn't turn it back on. After a reboot, everything's fine till it fails again. It's not my data connection, because I can still browse the web from my phone.
dartinbout in the eXpo users' group seems to have been having similar problems with his stereo Bluetooth headset.
I also seem to recall having similar problems with WMWifiRouter as well, but I can't test it anymore as my trial period has run out.
my bluetooth fails when listening to music on a stereo headset. i have to reset and reconnect after it stops playing and freezes.
when i try to use wmwifirouter it does not show a 3g to bluetooth option and internet sharing bluetooth pan will not work.
a few times i have turned on my phone and it said failed to load bluetooth stack. it also has given a similar error when bluetooth was on but not in use.
i hope the custom roms can have different bluetooth stacks more like the htc bluetooth stacks
You know what, after dealing with this problem for a while, that sounds exactly like the problem I'm having. WMWifiRouter will stop working after a while, and when I restart the phone I get the same errors. Internet Connection Sharing fails when I watch videos, very, very often while I'm watching YouTube or trying to video chat with someone. I actually watch my data transfer go from downloading and uploading to absolute 0.
I haven't contacted LG about it yet, but it's driving me nuts... >_<
EDIT: Just to double check, nev310, when your bluetooth fails, are you also using it to tether, either through WMWifiRouter, or through ICS? I ask because I use bluetooth for music at work all day and it never fails, but when I come home and use either ICS or WMWR it fails between 1 to 10 (at last count) times, without using a bluetooth headset.

when it fails i am listening to music through a lg hsb-250 bluetooth headset at work with screen off using wmp. when i load wmwifirouter the 3g to bluetooth button is grayed out and i cannot use it. i have used 3g to wifi and when i close the connection and close wmwifirouter my phone acts like it doesnt even have wifi. doesnt show it in wireless manager at all i have to do a soft reset.
since i did a hard reset i have not had a bluetooth crash but it use to crash everyday sometimes only after a few minutes of listening to music.
the only way i can use bluetooth tethering is through the intenet sharing app after changing the registry to use media net but my car pc will say i have no internet access when connected, my laptop works fine..if this phone wasnt so fast all this would be a huge problem but i just deal with it. i hope it can be fixed in a rom update or cooked rom.
also.... (unrelated) the other day i turned on my htc fuze and waited for it to boot up tried to connect to wifi and load opera...took over a few minutes and the screen just feels weird and i have to hold it was up to my face i used it for over a year and now im like how did i use this phone lol. but what i did notice is i have a 6.1 rom on it and have more free ram than used ram(i think about 50mb used out of 203mb) so i started to see how many apps i could run with out them closing and running out of ram lol. all that free ram made me kinda want a 6.1 rom for the expo .i also wanted to make a thread to see what phones people had before their expo/iq

The bluetooth issue is one that I've had with my handset since I got the phone back in December. First when I would have my bt headset paired and I'd answer a phone or stream audio it would work fine. Then out of nowhere someone would call or I would make a call, and I couldn't hear anything through the headset. I would have to reset the bluetooth or reset the device. My phone would get hung on the "Turn Bluetooth on" screen just like yours does and I'd have to reset the phone. I have repeatedly talked to LG about this and they said I would have to send in the phone.
This also happens when I tether over bluetooth. It will work for a bit, but after a while even with no traffic the connection fails. The phone still says its connected though.
I bought a Tilt 2 from a user on ebay so I'm going to use that phone while my eXpo is away at LG. It appears to be hardware related though.
SPIDER, you better not leave eXpo forums. Hope it gets fixed!

lol. Nah, My wife has my Tilt that I upgraded from to the eXpo, and I'll give her my tilt 2 when I get the eXpo back. I will say though, LG could definitely learn a thing or two from HTC when it comes to smartphones. My expo so far has made me doubt my choice of it over the tilt 2 and my experience in the DAY that I've had the tilt2 has made me doubt my original choice even more. I'm hoping that once they fix it and I get back a fully functional phone I'll put those doubts to rest. I love the snapdragon and the possibilities that come with it, but I'd take the slower processor of the tilt2 over a snapdragon phone that doesn't work worth a damn most of the time.

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with bluetooth on their Archos 101. I can't tell if perhaps my hardware is flaky, or if its a software issue.
Basically, bluetooth seems to work sporadically. Sometimes it pairs like it should, other times it is a fight just to get it to pair with my phone, laptop or bluetooth keyboard. Often times I have to reboot just to get it to pair and it seems to really struggle if both bluetooth AND wifi are enabled.
I'm running the stock current ROM and outside of the android market APK and some basic apps, I haven't done anything wacky or weird to it.
I guess I'm just looking for some validation and/or confirmation and/or possible fixes if any.
Sorry, i have experienced no issues with bluetooth apart from forgetting to switch it on
I have had some issues as well. Paired a set of Motorola S9 bluetooth stereo headphones. They pair and connect fine, but the audio is choppy. It will sound fine for 15-20 seconds and then it will skip, go silent, bring back audio, etc. Tried playing same audio through unit speakers and no problems. I also have an Archos 70 tablet and have no problems with the same headset. Both have been updated with the Froy 2.2. Starting to think it might be a hardware issue with the 101. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Never had it working
I always get paired but not connected. Never have been able to get it to work.
The same problem. Pair, but not connect!
I've never found problem about bluetooth (Archos 101 - firmware version 2.1.08)
Pair & connect with DELL BH200 (Bluetooth Headset) - work fine.
Pair & connect with DELL BT Travel Mouse - work fine.
i'm getting major issues on my new replacement 101. did you ever sort your issues? i'm using latest fw.
its really hit or miss (mostly miss) whether it actually see's any BT devices when it scans. yet wifi works fine 100%
I experiment something very similar with my 101, this both on standard Android and Urukdroid 0.7 or 1.0 :
- very difficult (multiple tries have to be done) to get successfull peering.
- with BT enabled phones
- with BT GPS (G-Sat BT-368i, wich is given in forums to work well on our gen8 devices)
- for the GPS (which is the BT device that interest me) : impossible to have it working directly from GoogleMap, I got some success with "Bluetooth Gps Provider" appli from Market). This device is never shown as connected from the BT Parameters.
Could it be a hardware problem, that is do I have to return the tablet to archos ?
Thanks for your experience feeling about the fiability of the BT on 101 tablet.
It generally works fine for me, but a couple days ago it got stuck, and it would not allow to send me files to other devices until I rebooted the Archos. The same day I was also using bluetooth headphones and the wifi network together, and I had audio stutter problems. It seems that wifi has a negative effect over bluetooth stability.
It works for me... though
Bluetooth is not working on my Archos 101.
When I try "scan for devices" it shows 1 or 2 devices, while my HTC HD2 shows about 5. When I click again on "scan for devices" - sometimes it is howing different device, sometime shows bloothooth adress only.
Evan my HTC can see Archos, it cannot pair with it. Archos never see my HTC.
Zalek
Same here
I can pair with my phone (htc desire hd) but cant connect.
I need my phone connected for gps.
Nobody has a solution ?
No solution ?
Thanks
BT has some issues for me too with an A43.
BT+wifi means i either can't get a proper internet connection, or BT devices disconnect.
quite annoying, because i want to be able to use my BT mouse with the internet browser.
and my jabra halo headset connects in dumb mode (no media/volume controls) most of the time.
which is annoying, because it means my headset is stuck on the volume i last used.
Hi Lara and other fellows! For me, after all sort of tries, the solution comes with full reinitialization. Plug the unit to AC outlet, backup all your data, go to settings, repair and formatting and full reini. It seems that when we update firmware the things go a little crazy with the bt side. Good luck!
Think I've sorted out bluetooth problems
I also have had real problems with the bluetooth on Archos 101 - pairing but not connecting, causing "Location & Security" to crash when I attempted to open it (in settings). I updated the firmware to 2.4.19 and then rebooted - still the same problems, so I did a full initialization and hey presto all problems seem to have vanished ! A pain because I've now got to re-download all the apps I had before but at least the tablet is working as it is supposed to.
Hope this helps others.

Archos 101 Bluetooth Problem - Known issue?
I'm having the same problems. I contacted Archos support and they told me to do a full reinitialization. This did not resolve the issue.
When scanning for bluetooth devices, nothing shows up until the 5th or so attempt.
The mac address of the discovered device is shown instead of the device name.
When attempting to connect it fails several times, then it pairs but says "paired but not connected."
When I finally connect the audio stutters. It's extremely choppy... useless.
If the bluetooth is left on, the 101 will eventually freeze when the screen sleeps and cannot be woken up by pressing the power button. The green light stays on when this happens. Pressing the button a few times or holding it in reboots the 101.
After reading all the posts I've come to the conclusion that Archos likely knows about this issue.
Archos, if you're reading this, for the sake of your customers, please admit this is a known issue and let us know if it's fixable and when a possible fix may be available.
I encourage everyone to open a ticket with Archos support.
If you purchased your 101 used and it's been registered by the previous owner, you can register it and the registration will be instantly transferred to you.
Create a support account at archos.com
After you create an account you can add products to your account and submit tickets for them.
