As I'm giving up from getting my Xda II up to the task of BT Syncing AND BT handsfree, I ordered an i-mate Jam from Expansys.
As my order is on backlog due to lack of stock (more than 3 weeks now) I'm having time to wonder about my "incoming" new toy.
So I have a few questions for the more "JAM" experience users:
:?:
1.- Is BT operational with HandsFree devices? I mean carkits and the like.
2.- Is the BT stack having problems to ActiveSync with Win XP SP2?
3.- Any rumours about the new 2005 version? When will I-mate ship it?
4.- Are the most recent units coming with the flaws fixed? I read about bad sound, blurry pictures, a patched radio protocol, etc.
5.- Is any application known by not running on the JAM?
Thanks for commenting, I'll post my findings when my unit arrives.
BTW does anyone need a perfectly working XDAII?
:wink:
No help?
Ok, Should I admit there are not any problems around? Is anyone out there moved from XDA-II willing to help?
Thanks.
:wink: :?:
Great Move.
I changed my XDAII for a Jam and I'm extremely happy :lol:
No sound issues also bluetooth headset Motorola 810 connects fine. Camera is not too good but I guess thats the only flaw.

Hi zedeff! Thanks for info!
Just wondering: Is anyone using a BT carkit? Since this is a common problem with XDA II, I'm a bit worried about.
:wink: :?:
considering a switch
i'm quite happy with my xdaII except that i find it bulky.. i'm seriously thinking of getting the xdaII mini (aka magician). any comments? bad reviews? suggestions?
btw, i'm looking for a fair market where i can sell my xdaII here in manila in case i do decide to buy the mini. any ideas? :wink:
Me too!
I'm also considering moving from the XDA2. My XDA2 has been great although not without one or two issues (getting BT working with a GPS receiver - not for the newbies!). I was considering the XDA2s and XDA2i but have read about issues with both. Now the XDA2 mini looks fantastic as I often wish I had a smaller phone without sacrificing the features. Has anyone else taken the plunge?
Hi,
I know this is a bit off-topic, nevertheless I hope you can help me.
I am considering to buy a MPx220 as I find that the BlueAngel is too big for my use... I need something smaller, the MPx220 looks good. One thing I can't live without though is music, wireless music. I've got the A2DP patch for the BlueAngel and love that feature...
I don't want to buy a new phone without having that capability. I was thinking of buying a hx4700 for that, but then again, its big and bulky, and I wouldn't want to take it most of the time.
So, is there any way to make the A2DP patch for the BlueAngel work on a Windows Mobile Smartphone?
Or are there any other phone like that out that support this?
Thanks,
Treo
where is the patch for the Blue Angel?
Just fyi, I am using the test rom on my Kjam for a2dp, but I just followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48502 for my Jamin and it worked flawlessly. Others are reporting it works for the Wizard too!
thanks for the fyi, i may try this later on
Brilliant! Great sound quality! very easy install on Wizard

How is the sound quality as compared to the test rom version? The testrom a2dp wasn't very good at all. I am really hoping this fixes it!
Now I will buy the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
Works for my xda mini s and will try to my xda exec
FANTASTIC, thanks for pointing this out.
I have installed thgis on my AKU2 K-JAM and all is working nicely.
I can now use my Bluetake BT450rx headphones that i bought myself for Christmas that have been gathering dust on a shelf
so does this mean i can use the latest rom update now and then install this ontop of it?
I have been using the test rom for a long time because fo the a2dp
Well....I did follow the steps...but I do not have an A2DP headset......and I want to be sure this software really works on my T-mobile MDA, before I but an A2DP headset, is anyway I can know this software works with out having an A2DP headset?
I just have the MOTO H700 and HS820....but, I guess it won't work as A2DP headset...
What you guys recommend for A2DP headset for listen to music?

I reckon its pretty good.
I am actually finding the A2DP Audio has better reception than the standard handsfree profile as with the new Wireless Audio option enabled with my Bluetake BT450rx headphones i can put the k-jam in any pocket or even walk over 5 metres away without it skipping a beat.
However the handsfree profile on the Bluetake headphones gets really crackly if put the k-jam my pocket and cannot walk more than 2 metres away.
Overall i'm really impressed although i have read that having push email and a2dp enabled at the same time can cause problems so im about to give that a go now
Cheers
is RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe the right rom for this addon?

This should work on any of the AKU2.0 ROMS with version 2.x so that should be fine.
is the version i just asked about the latest one?
I'm pretty sure that the newest qtek wwe (english) rom.
I have an i-mate and use the i-mate rom so not completely sure but from looking at the ftp site here it seems to be so.
This works with older roms too I am using the older Tmobile UK rom that works with blackberry connect software and it works perfectly
A2DP w/2.17 ROM from Summiter.
Went to Tornado Group downloaded Bluetooth files files installed them, tweaked the registry and I am running the newest ROM with A2DP. Thanks summiter for the ROM and the Tornado folks for the files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48491
Eureka.
PS Not the 2.8 but 2.17.
All I can say is...WAHOO!
I've been searching every forum I could find looking for A2DP for my MDA. Followed the instructions and it works great with my Plantronics 590A.
I'm using the latest T-Mobile US release ROM from the FTP site (with the goodies rolled in).
Tip:
If you lose the Bluetooth stereo output (like if you turn off the headset and then back on), go to the Bluetooth device section, hold click on the headset, and finally choose "Set as Wireless Stereo".
THANK YOU!
Now...if I could only get the headset controls to next/prev track and pause / play...

Are you sure? Can anybody else confirm this?
If you are a Cingular user, I just uploaded a 2.17 ROM that has A2DP added. Link is posted in the Wizard upgrading forum.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
I try to make single-file cab installation, can somebody of the pros please take a look at it? I also don't know how to insert soft reset feature

@Puckster: Where did u read that? I am really curious whether it works together - if not, A2DP is kind of useless for me...
Any experiences so far?

Has anyone one on here got one of these?
I've gone full circle from the jam->Wizard->Universal and then got myself a simple phone that i've had the last few months due to work. Now, out of all three of those phones, the jam for me had the best form factor and feel out of them all, wizard was too fat and plasticy.
Anyway, just seen on t-mobile uk site the compact II, my main questions is, does anyone know if any bluetooth headphones will work for this for music? not sure of the BT stack etc etc on this device (HTC charmer?). So if anyones got the same device with Bluetooth headphones working let me know!!
Also if anyone has them working *well* on the jam let me know! What mode of headphones etc etc
thanks all
I'm not sure about this because a friend has one and it has the original WM5 release on it (i.e. not AKU2) and that's known not to support A2DP (the BT profile for stereo headphones) but what I don't know is if T-Mobile have now started shipping the Compct II with AKU2.
Maybe someone knows different, please tell.
For an explanation of what AKU2 is, look in the Wizard and Prophet forums.
cheers,failing that not sure wich device to go for....need it to work with some BT headphones!!
i've red this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=675
but want it working perfectly![/url]
what's your m600 like paul? I presume this will have A2DP etc? reason i ask is t-mobile are doing the compact 2 for free with co pilot nav and gps receiver + unlimited data usage for £27.50 a month, so i'm very tempted, only problem being i don't know if it will work with BT headphones! Failing this i might go for the exec (again) as i'm sure that'll work!! Just the deal is so good it's almost rude to say no!
I've got the mdac2 and think it's great. I've updated it with the T-mobile AKU2 update which works fine, giving push email.
I haven't tried any BT headphones but have read that once you have the AKU2 update there is a way of enabling A2DP by adding drivers or something like that. I think it was regarding the Wizard but much of the Wizard system is the same as the Charmer.
if anyone can confirm that there is a cab.file or something like that with a2dp on then i'll be going for this i think then!! is your aku2 rom a tmobile one?
yes. it's from the official t-mobile download site. was made available in June.
great cheers, they may be shipping with this rom now so best check. Now all i need to find out is if the a2dp file that people use on the wizard will work on this!

The M600 is great and yes, it has AKU2. I have not tried BT headphones but if you look in the prophet forum there will be people there who have.
The T-Mobile deal is a good one - that's the deal my co-worker has taken and he's really happy with it.

Yes it does support a2dp and the cab file is available somewhere on this forum you will have to do a search, sorry im not a regular so it will be difficult for me to find anything however I have a mda compact ii and the a2dp works! Should go for the offer, i also have the co-pilot 6 which youve mentioned and its a great deal.
All the best
I just recently upgraded my 8525 to the new AT&T Rom update and can't get my Tom Tom One to pair correctly with the 8525. On the Tom Tom it says no services are available.

There is lots of advice here and on http://www.modaco.com/HTC-Hermes-HermesMoDaCocom-f204.html but you ned to be clearer about what you need help with. Are you Blutooth pairing a Tom Tom GPS Receiver with your 8525? Can you get the 8525 to actually pair with the receiver succesfully?
Sorry but you may already know all this - but it's unclear and I see this is your first post. There are plenty who can help if you can provide more information.
Regards
He's trying to pair a TomTom One GPS Navigation unit to the 8525. Likely to access online services like traffic, weather, etc..
As for an answer on the Bluetooth, the only thing I can think of is make sure you can pair other devices, and give the phone a reset. My bluetooth acts wierd sometimes and a reset is all it needs.
What services are you trying to access from the 8525?
I am trying to update traffic info on tom tom via the data connection from the 8525. The 8525 sees the tom tom when looking for devices and tom tom tries to pair with 8525, but it will fails with the following message
The required features could not be found for this phone.
*bump* I have exactly the same problem! (running Black 3.0.1)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions??
I love the Hermes, but unfortunately going to have to return it to provided in a few days if there's no way of getting a Bluetooth DUN profile working with the TomTom. Damned Microsoft!
Any solution for this would be greatly appreciated! Is there perhaps a replacement stack available which would solve this?
Nick
*bump*
Are there any ROM experts out there who could answer this definitively?
I need to know if there is any possibility of the Bluetooth DUN being added to WM6, or if it's been done, as I need to return the phone to T-mobile in the next few days if there is no chance!!
Much appreciated...
Nick
Bump. Is there no solution for this problem of bluetooth DUN support at all right now? Would appreciate if one of the knowledgeable techies here could answer.
Otherwise the Hermes has to be returned tomorrow, which will suck. lol
TIA, Nick.
same problem here. seemed to work fine until i upgraded to new rom from att. so im sure the problem is within the rom
I just purchased my 8525 and can't get it to pair with my TomTom One. My 8125 worked just fine. Anybody find a work around? Are there any cooked roms that it will work on? I'm happy to upgrade a rom if it makes it work.
TIA

None of the cooked roms have DUN in them. Stupid MS decided that PAN was much cooler so they removed DUN making bunches of devices unusable with the Hermes.
