I'm thinking of getting either the TyTn or the Cingular Branded version when it's available.
I've read elsewhere that there's an issue where you cannot have BT and WiFi on at the same time. This seems to be a huge bug and I would expect to see lots of comments on it, but so far, I'm not seeing any.
What I hope to be able to do is to be online whilest on a phone call using the BT headset. Hopefully this is possible.
Thanks so much!

It's not perfect, but it's also not a problem with the dopod or i-mate ROMs, v1.20.
I use AS over bluetooth while connected to a wifi over AP internet connection. And the UMTS phone is on-line.
Using Conduit's PocketPlayer, a high quality stereo A2DP session works with the wifi radio on, but it'll occasionally skip if you try doing anything else with the device like internet browsing or checking email. The same is true to a much less extent of an internet connection over UMTS.
Cheers
I guess this one is unit specific. If I have a Wi-Fi link active and then turn BT on, the Wi-Fi connection is immediately broken. Once I turn BT off, the Wi-Fi connection re-establishes. Very irritating.

Hi all,
I was interested to know if it is possible to use Voip or Skype over a bluetooth connection.
I currently sync via bluetooth using my HTC Himalaya, which allows me to access the internet at my home.
I tried using Skype Mobile on my phone but it only seems to allow 3G or WiFi connections.
I don't want to use my phone as the headset, connecting through my PC's Skype, I want it to work standalone ie Be able to connect to the Skype Network/VOIP network using software on my phone, connecting to the activesync bluetooth connection.
Any ideas?
it's transparent to most programs which connection they use as long as it's fast enough
and my tests and tests i've sene indicate that bluetooth is not fast enough to do talk with skype
but you can chat but then so you can using gprs
Even BT 1.x should be able to provide enough bandwidth for Skype or VoIP applications as in the worst case you will need 64 kbps up- and downstream (using G.711 like codecs). The problem for VoIP / SIP is probably that it won't run over the ActiveSync connection... which is very limited anyway. There might not be a way to do what you want, but it would be interesting if someone could correct me.
Bluetooth Activesync Works
Well I just configured and managed to use Skype over Bluetooth Activesync....and it worked OK.
The sound was identical to that which I get on my SDIO 802.11G Wifi Card, so I am not complaining.
I was unable to "chat" with someone though, as in typing (I could type but they couldn't see it, possibly because I was logged in elsewhere), but I was able to use the Echo call function, and it worked.
So. It works. But more testing is needed.
It saves me having to carry around and purchase extra wifi equipment when I can do the same over Bluetooth...
Do many people know how to do this? Do you think I should make a post in the development and hacking or general forum?
works great

Hi All,
I have just got an iPAQ 5450 and it all works fine apart from WiFi, the problem is that WiFi only works when it's in the cradle and as soon as I take it out the cradle it stops but it still says WiFi is still on??
If anyone could please help I would be most great full, thankyou very much.
Almoace.
unless you confuse connection icon with wifi being connected icon
it sounds like a hardware issue
Connection
If you are connecting via the cradle, you are connected by "USB" not wifi... even if wifi is "on".
When you want to connect via WiFi you will need to set up a completely different setting with your PC and ActiveSync (if you are using Windows). I have found that you sometimes need to delete all prior network connections with any other device before an iPaq cooperates.
The iPaq 5450 is not a phone and the WiFi was designed as a primary source for connecting, as a result they have excellent WiFi radios. You really should not have a problem connecting, just do a little more research and I think you will be fine.
Thanks for your help guys, on wifi setup I do have different profiles so I'll delete them and start again with a new profile and after going into every part of the iPAQ I have found more connection settings that are, Internet Settings, Work Settings & Work and also there is dialing Locations so by the looks of things I will have to restore the setting to default and start again.
If / When I get it working I will report back here so you know I have it working and for any other ppl that may have the same problem as me.
Thanks again guys I'm very greatfull
I am having this horrible issue with my Wifi and bluetooth.
1. WIFI: When I turn on WiFi after a reboot it works flawlessly, connects to my wifi network and I can zoom around the net just dandy. As soon as I go out of range of WiFi or manually disconnect it it will NOT turn back on it says "Unable to start Wifi" until I do a full reboot. So annoying.
2.) Bluetooth: When connecting to my Headset it connects just fine after a reboot. HOWEVER, after pairing, if I put the X10 standby with the powerbutton before making a call it will drop the bluetooth audio connection and only play sound through the earpiece. Even though it SAYS it's still connected and paired. And THEN when I shut off bluetooth and try to turn it back on, pretty much the same as the wifi thing except I get no error message it just tries to initiate bluetooth and then sits for a few minutes and then I guess gives up and keeps the bluetooth shut off without any indication of failure.
I'm guessing it's defective but if anyone has had this issue, please speak up! And even better if you know how to solve it. Thanks!! =)
I too am having the same issue with wifi. Also my x10 is superslow on my wifi @ times. So i run a speedtest and I get 3MB, which is fast, but the phone isn't using that speed while browsing the internet.
Hello,
I experienced the same thing as you. Moreover I have a trouble with Bluetooth in my car. After few seconds (around 1 minute) of talk, I don't loose the BT connexion but nobody understand me !!!
Have you tried your BT?
Have you got a task killer running that's killing your bluetooth and wifi?

hi
Im running the stock JK6 and rooted.
when Im running e.g. the liveview app my phone keeps some kind of freezing after a few minutes, first I tought it is app related but now I revieved my OBD2 scanner for my car and its just the same with the app "torque".
is this a hardware related problem or something wrong with this ROM.
did a HR several times and reflashed the ROM.
Edit: I noticed when bluetooth recieve or send data I cant get any other wireless date like on wifi or on radio.
please help
Seems to be a one time event with the data problem but the main thing keeps annoing me
Have you tried pulling the battery waiting 60 seconds placing the battery back in the phone and then rebooting?
Eh no cause on the galaxy tab the battery cant be removed

I don't Know, but if you have a Bluetooth PAN connection to the internet, then it should be not possible to have another connection to the internet. IP routing to the gateway would be confused if you could.
There are tools that "group" several separate internet connections into one virtual one.
no Im not using a bt PAN to connect the inet, only normal bluetooth data usage
Push
Just only me who is facing this annoing problem?
Same problem with OBD2 :s disable GPS reduc freeze loop. But not fully (30 minutes). Next time i will turn off Data conection.
Every time i've freeze now i see torque try reconnect to OBD2, seem like BT of SGT turned off or time out
I am having the same problem. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, it will hang the Tab within 30 min. All bluetooth connections are definitely gone. Turning off the bluetooth won't help. The only way is to reboot and never turn bluetooth on.
BTW, I have tried connecting LiveView or a normal bluetooth headset. Both cause the same problem.
I am on JK2.
It seems it is bluetooth driver conflicting with any other data connections.
Did a further testing. Disabled Wifi, but doing data communication via 3G network while turning bluetooth on. The tab hangs in a few minutes. Found a process called 'btld' sucking up all the CPU circle.
Any ideas what 'btld' is?
Thought this should not be a hardware problem because bluetooth works fine when all data connections are off and Wifi/3G data works fine when bluetooth is off. It must be some sort of default setting isn't correct. If this is the case, then root would be a must before manually tuning any parameters.
Found root cause. It is actually the SonyEricsson LiveView software causing troubles. After removing, everything goes well.
Checked on SonyEricsson's web site, it seems Froyo is yet to be supported.
try to use WO Webcam B-Lite out of market, you can open a bt connection by pressing activate and then while running, close via taskmanager, voila the freeze begun
I've got galaxy Tab and galaxy S, and torque badly freezes the devices almost every time I exit the application. It cannot be an hardware fault since I use lot of bluetooth devices and always 3g connected, never had issues. Just with torque, and I don't have any "sony liveview" thing.
Reading on the comments of Torque it seems that also other devices have the same freeze issue (especially a phone called "Evo 4G"). Many months ago I sent a mail to the developer explaining the bug but he bumped me away replying that the app is tested and working on GalaxyTab (and obviously it's not true, or he did some mistake in testing). Now lots of people with this Evo 4G are complaining and the developer is trying to fix. let's hope..
I have an annoying problem with my device. I'm able to find other bluetooth devices and connect my omnia with them olny when the wifi is on. After the connection, for example to my speakers, I can also turn off wifi and the bluetooth streaming continues without problems, also if i disconnect my device (mantaining the bluetooth toggle on) and then i re-connect it. Someone has a solution? It isn't a big problem, but quite annoying
My first Omnia did this. I've jsut had it replace under warranty for something else and my new one doesn't do it.
It was annoying I agree.
"Interesting". I have the opposite problem - whilst WiFi is active BT doesn't work. Sent my phone to be services a week ago so we'll see.
Please could you post your phone version maybe?
