Anyone know if this Bluetooth patch will work on XDA2

I know that it doesn't mention support for XDA, but it is a patch for Windows Mobile 2003, so it may just work. Has anyone tried it?
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...92&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=88989

Headset works fine in the XDA II
I miss the point, headset works fine, it's handsfree that we are missing.
I doubt you should attempt to load the patch.
Regards
Michael

WARNING. Don't try it. I lost sound after I loaded that "patch". It doesn't work with XDA II.
Fortunately I wanted to update my ROM to the Dangaard ROM anyway....

This is just for PDA's not having bluetooth headset profiles (Just for listening to music and the likes).
As mentioned, what we need is the handsfree profile to be implemented, How long will it take?

someone is working on it I think....... :wink:

I guess than means I didn't actually understand the bluetooth problem correctly.
Incidentally, I called O2 to find out if there is any news on when the update will be released, and was told 'it should be the end of this month, but don't quote me on that'.

I have installed the patch(es) that 'Horsy' mentioned and my TomTom, BT200 (23B) and activesync all now work, headset capabilities to come! Definitely worth a paypal donation!

the site is very slow, try this

Well I've installed it, and it doesn't seem to have broken anything, but I haven't had a chance to test it properly yet.
Now if only we could get the handsfree problem sorted!

Ok- so in answer to my own questions...
Chinese version now has Smart Dialling (no idea why it didn't before, but it does now...) and a nice new Windows Mobile splash screen...
Seems much snappier and more stable already, with no loss of SD card so far and no random reboots (I'll keep my eyes open for that, though...)
A few other cosmetic changes, as well, such as battery meter in the title bar instead of the task bar of the today screen.
Boots much quicker now, too...

i have been using for a few hours.
it's a really good rom compare to JAmin and Qtek (both little bit lag after reset).
I think the English Version will come out soon, keep your eyes open and wait

Yeah you're right. A2DP supporting will enable us to listening stereo

Well, there is another approach in this world to make your 818 Pro be able to support the A2DP, it is to install a software called MSI Blueplayer. However, it seems that the program only support MSI bluetooth headset so it only allow my i.Tech S38 to play for 30sec of stereo MP3 audio and the program ended. You can refer to the below message thread for details :

i think its hardware problem, you cant really fix it, becasue they want you to buy MSI bluetooth device.

1. welcome to XDA-Dev
2. are you sure you use your stereo headphones in WIRELESS STEREO mode ("Set as Wireless Stereo" in BT manager), not as HEADSET?

Stereo - Mono BT Connection
Thanks for the quick reply Menneisyys, Originally I had it selected as both Handsfree and BT Stereo. Uninstalled it and re-paired as Bluetooth Stereo only. The Sony HBH-DS970 Headset still only receives in mono. Same problem with sending from the Hermes to a Motorola DC800 stereo gateway. Both receivers play perfectly in Stereo from the laptop, but only in mono from the Hermes. ????

joint stereo that is. easy registry hack should fix it.
correct settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000

Yup, it should make sure it's in stereo (BTW, what app could have messed it up, that is, set to 1 (mono)?); also see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1400&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 where I've also elaborated on this value.

Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 - ISSUES!

I just got the Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (refer to as VC from here on) this morning and so far it has been quite disappointing.
I am using it on a Cingular 8525 with a Sony Ericsson HBH-GV435 headset (both are BT 2.0).
Right after the installation I noticed that the talk button on the headset did not trigger the VC so I did a power cycling.
After the power cycling the button will now trigger the VC as if I pushed the VC button on the phone but the problem is that it is not picking up my voice command via the headset but it is still listening from the phone's mic.
Any thoughts on this?

hjkl;' why no delete?

What is the probelm with the ver 1.6 and the TyTn? Is it just the TyTN rom or does it not function with the JasJam or the 8525 either?
Dp you guys know this by experience or is it posted somewhere?
PocketPCThoughts list the 8525 as a "compatible device".

The problem will affect all Hermes devices, and it will probably require a patch / a new dll and/or a registry hack to make things work properly. It should work, but it doesn't, and this goes to show you what a poor job of testing was done before product release.
If the single biggest additional feature/function (ie, bluetooth support) doesn't work properly, why was it shipped?

What do you mean it cant be installed. I have it installed on a TyTn and it works perfectly. I am not using a BT headset, so cant comment on that.

I've got v1.6 on an 8525 and it seems to working fine.
what exactly are the problems others are having with Hermes devices?

@DigitalFX: Hermes does support Bluetooth 2.0, but not Enhanced Data Rate.
@JCrompton: MSVC 1.6 does not route sounds/commands properly through a Bluetooth headset on the Hermes. You may be able to initiate a call with your headset button, but you'll be using the mic/speaker on the Hermes to complete it. Also, sounds/announcements are not working as advertised. HTC and M$ are working on a patch.

VC 1.6 works fine on my MDA with Motorola BT headset.

Seriously, why dind't any OEM use the Widcomm stack instead of the crappy MS one ?!
If only there was a way to hack the Widcomm stack and replace the MS one like they did with the Dell axims..

Wow! Have you done any registry hacks? I'd love to see what your Voice Command keys look like....
TIA,

I have an 8525 also, and 1.6 works as MS says it does.
The headset button activates voice command, the Beep occurs on the 8525, and the mike on the 8525 listens for input. If I say, Dial ... or Call... then the call works fine on the BT headset like expected.
I know a patch is in the works to fix this issue, and when they do, 1.6 is superior to 1.5 for voice interpretation.
However, for now, I have 1.5 working perfectly fine. All features work, and all I had to do was enter/change 2 registry keys (only 1 was necessary)

So how loud do you have to shout for the mike on the 8525 to hear you if the phone is in the next room, or in your purse or you're driving? It might be the way MS intended it to work, but I doubt it.
[RANT]
I can't believe that MS wouldn't have caught this problem during beta testing. Speaks volumes (pun intended) for the current state of software development and testing at MS. Anyone know if MS Reader works with WM5 yet? How about full multi-user support for ActiveSync? Win XP has been around for years now with this funtionality. And while I am on my rant, how about SP3 for Win XP? Currently we would have to download and install over 70 (!) critical patches to SP2 just to get our computers to the dynamic state they are at today. Come on MS, enough is enough. Get your s#!* together!!

Audio routing

I KNOW I KNOW, WIDCOMM stack...but what I want to know is basically can I route audio properly to my mono plantronics headset. I used to do this with my Wizard, and the headset routes audio fine during phone calls. Why can't a small program force this connection for streaming music. I don't care if it sounds like crap, i just want to be able to listen to it. ARGH this is driving me crazy. Any help would be nice.
If you are just going to say "try the widcomm stack" please don't. I read it doesn't play well with MS Voice Command and I use VC too much to not be able to have it function properly. Thanks in advance...

I used BTAudio Toggle with my 8125 and the 640 (to listen to MP3's off of TCPMP or WMP). Have you tried it on your current phone?

yes, none of these programs seem to work with the 8525...but they did work with the 8125...

I know you don't want to hear it, but upgrade to WM6, and then apply Widcomm stack and MS vc 1.6. Works great. As a matter of fact, I installed it because Ms VC didn't seem to work right with ms bluetooth stack. Now, plantronics 640 works great, all audio is routed and MS Voice Command works flawlessly....

I got a weird one. I connected my pda to my pc via High Quality Audio profile.
Now when I play a music file on my PDA, I get no sound from my speakers, but, upon going into Sounds Control Panel in Vista, I see the Bluetooth Microphone is receiving the data. When I stop the song, the data stops. When I play, it starts. How do I reverse this so that when I play a song, it shows up on my PC as output and not input, this is strange...

Not sure if it's the same mortscript I'm using, but in the MS VC Bluetooth thread there is one posted as well.
Using the steps there, I'm quite easily able to switch from VC to mono audio routing.
Someone summed the steps up quite nicely, do a search for my name pkley towards the end of that thread...

Just install mortscript (find RC9) and then the mscr files will run as applications. You can put them in your applications folder and even run them using voice command if you have it.
If you want to write your own scripts, it comes with documentation, and you can find a few examples at gthing.net/scripts <----would really appreciate more scripts on that site if anyone has any they can upload.

gthing, thanks for the reply! I am going to look into this!

Ok, none of these things help...in fact the wicomm stack doesn't work with my bluetooth headset (plantronics 320) and I can't even un-install the damn thing. It just locks up my phone in the endless spinning rainbow wheel, or literally freezes. More-over none of these replies help as far as routing all sound from my phone to a MONO bluetooth headset...
