This is a "feature" of the MS Bluetooth stack. You can try something like Jetware as an add-on if you really want to change your BT device name...

I installed Jetware but I can't find any option to change the bt device names?!

I haven't tried it myself, but I had read that somewhere listed as a feature...

Okay, I found the solution:
You have edit the Registry-Key LocalName (String Value):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings

Perfect.
This post should be included in the Herme's registry tweaks as soon as possible.

it's already there

Yesterday I've already answered this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280121
but was told there is an official way...
Note, that, as I wrote there, the value in the registry is rewritten every time you make a change to the owner's name.

Change Bluetooth name of Wizard...

HAya guys and galls...
I'm wondering if it is possible to change the Bluetooth name of the Wizard in something else than the Owner name of the Wizard.
I want the info on Owner Information to be different than the bluetooth name.
Don't want to be in a place and someone starts shouting my name because I have bluetooth on, now what I mean?
Is there a registry entry witch you can edit to change the bluetooth name?
I tried a search on XDA, but couldn't find it...
Thanks for the advice....

actually there is, i don't remember where, but it does not matter at all, because when you change it to your own value, after some time it will revert back to 'owner name' again. i don't know why i when it actually does occur, but i gave up with it...
Okay....
Tnxs for the info...
Anyone got it working though?
Or is it impossible....
Anyone???
afaik the BT name is the same as the ActiveSync device name.
You can change that to anything you like.
I'm afraid thats not the case..
My activesync name is not my bluetooth name..
As a matter of fact, I want the activesync name to be the same as the bluetooth name, that's why I want to change it....
My bluetooth name is the same as the owner info name....
But maybe you can tell me if you know of a registry key that makes the bluetooth name the same as the active sync name?
No one got a clue
There must be some way :roll:
Please....can someone help me
Hope so!!!!
not sure if this is what you mean but to change your bluetooth name go to start/settings/about/device ID and change your device name to whatever you want.
I was wondering how to change this also. My wizard is a T-Mobile USA MDA, and it shows up as "Pocket_PC" in the bluetooth scanners no matter what I name the Activesync connection or the device.

Try to pair the device again, may be you haven't set your device name in the first pairing. Bluetooth will not get the name again.

Yeah, I see it now. It shows up at my owner name, not my device or activesync names.
That's exactly what I mean...
It isn't the activesync name that is displayed..
Anyone got an idea to help us?
Nobody??
Does nobody have an answer for us?
No one knows witch registry key to edit?
i wanna say that the bluetooth name would be the owners name.
i changed my device name and thats what it comes up as in Activesync. im testing it now.

Hi all,
Bluetooth(BT) name and ActiveSync (AS) name are two completly different things:
How to change AS name using WM5 (think it is the same in previous versions):
Settings -> System -> About -> Device ID -> Device Name
How to change BT name (WM5):
change the registry key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings\LocalName to the value you want
hope it was helpful
Does this keep the Bluetooth name until a hard reset occurs? Someone implied that it reverts on its own after a while.

that's right, but somehow, after some time (i couldn't work out when exactly) it turns back to 'owner name' value.

Hi,
I've had this for a long time and it never changed on its own.
As for hard reset, yes it does change to default setting if you hard reset it. but i think it's hard , if not impossible, not to do this.
Tnx
That's what I was looking for!!
Changed it, now lets see if it changes back sometime...
Thanks for the feedback....
What ever question i have, it seems someone has already answered it. I've had my wizard for 4 days now, and i love it, now its been fiddled round to working the way it should. Does anyone know of a small app that will allow me to alter my bluetooth name as and when i wish?
Or do i have to change the registry each time i want to change it?

Registry trouble with phoneAlarm

Just recently I detected that I do not receive any calendar notifications any more, which is really annoying. Device wakes up but no sound at all. Browsed some threads on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1035667#post1035667) but only advise I found is to hard reset - which I do not want. I checked the registry instead and found some questioning entrys.
Could anybody USING PHONEALARM (www.pocketmax.net) on a Prophet or any other WM5 device please post some of his registry entries here?
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications
Many thanks

To me either pocket clock or PHONEALARM caused the same problem.
I went back to a sprite back-up point from before installing both applications. Then my reminders and alarms worked again.
I have not tried to reinstall either of them.

PeterW,
many thanks. Unfortunatly it looks the same on my phrophet - but without getting notified. I am using pA 1.31 - no idea whether this will generate other registry entries than pA lite 1.56.1. On my my WM2003 device with pA 1.31 installed the registry looks different, in reminders I have:
* Default = "Erinnerungen"
* Duration = 10
* Options = 1073741855
* Wave = "Alarm4"
Anybody else having these entries in a WM5 registry?

Wireless Stereo Switch (or other solution)

Once my Bluetooth Headset is connected to my Prophet, all my notification sounds come through my Bluetooth Headset instead of the phone speaker.
The sound for normal incoming call works as it should though (through the speaker).
The only way i've found how to solve this problem, is to uncheck the "Wireless Stereo" option under:
Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > i.Tech Clip R35 > Partnership Settings
And then when I want to listen to music through the Windows Media Player, I have to do the opposit.
So, my two questions...
1. Is there a way to map notification sounds to always use the phone's speaker? (or)
2. Is there a small shortcut / Today-plugin that can switch "Wireless Stereo" on/off in one click?
Cheers!
Eric
Yes there is, i use a software called BTAudioToggle, you can place a shortcur to a launchbar in the today plugin, it works fine for me...

Thanks Hybrid, unfortunatly this was a bit wrong...
It seems that this program routed the sounds to the Bluetooth Headset if I wouldn't have "Wireless Stereo".
Hence; it had its functionality when I turned off "Wireless Stereo".
The solution was in the right direction though, but not really right...
BIG note though: It messed up the sound on my normal "Wireless Stereo" mode. So the sound now has a distortion as well.
Ehm but i remember there a software which did the same like btaudio with stereo headsets, but this one costs money. You just have to google, cause i dont remember the name

I found one called BlueMusic: http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com
Could that be the one you're refering to?
BlueMusic unfortunatly got about 99 functions that are more or less useless, packaged in a big memory overhead with nice graphics.
I just wanted the simple on/off switch...
ADD:
I'm running WM6, that's probably why most of BlueMusic's feature are superfluous.
My father got an Aus P535; when he uses the bluetooth headset, an icon is displayed on top, near "start": by clicking that icon, it is possible to redirect or not notification sounds to the headset... I didn't try that on the prophet, but I hope this can help you. bye
@overone: Hang in there...I'm trying to create a solution for one-click wireless stereo on/off..Will let you know as soon as I'm done...
Guys, been trying out a few things on mine AMEO qith BT8010's, it would appear that two reg entries are modified when turning on/off wireless audio.
I have attahced two reg export files bton.txt for audio on and btoff.txt for audio off.
if you look at lines 23 and 61 these are the values the executable will need to toggle. I dont have enough knowledge to code it up but if you know how to by all means give it a try.

Voice Tags not working on WM6 Typhoon

I am using Andots WM6 ROM on my SMT5600 and my phone works better than ever. However, Voice Tags do not work on the phone or over blue tooth. You can create a voice tag but you cannot activate them. Can anyone point me in the right direction to trouble shoot this. I need to know if there is an application that is launched when you hold a button to activate a voice tag? Or, is this a function in the headset or hands free profile? Could it be a simple registry entry I could import from WM5?
Thanks for your help.
Same problem here
I have the same phone & problem.
And I can't charge through USB.
Anyhow, this version improves the typhoon far beyond previous versions. It's faster than wm5, wm5torage is incredible, there are no memory leaks (with wm5 I ended up with 2mb free and had to reboot frequently)
Cheers.
Did you enable USB Charging from Power Management? It's weird, cause by default, its enabled and it works

Thanks for your help karhoe
I tried to do what you mention, but when I disable USB charging, there is no sign of charging (expected behaviour) and when I turn it back on, the problem continues.
Last night I reflashed to wm5 so I can:
- Check that the phone still can charge through USB (it charges ok)
- Get the font configuration in the registry so fonts look the same in wm6.
- Try to identify how voice tags work and see if I can take some dll/key association back to wm6.
I'll post results!
Mariano
Ok, I'm back to wm6 and I've found the following:
* USB charging works OK... I don't know what caused it. I'm reticent to install wm5storage, maybe it has something to do with it.
* I made the fonts look exactly the same as wm5. This is how:
In the registry, set the following:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\GDI\SYSFNT\
CS=0
Ht=4294967281
It=0
Nm=Segoe Condensed
Qt=5
Wt=400​
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\GWE\Button\StFontWeight\Wt=700
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\
WtMUI=700
Wt=700​
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\GWE\OOMFnt\
Ht=4294967284
Nm=Tahoma
Wt=400​
Anyway If you have Tahoma in your device's Windows directory some programs will look different.
Finally, regarding voice tags, I could only discover that there are no links like HomeLP.lnk or things like that to call an executable. It must be done some other way. :S

Now voiceTag is working fine. Great!
Found a way to enable built in voice tags over Bluetooth.
Ok, I have found a fix to enable built in voice tags over Bluetooth on the SMT5600 with Andots WM6 ROM. Create this registry entry and you will be able to activate voice tags by pushing the action button on the bluetooth headset. I have a new problem though. When you create a voice tag it is not clear and hardly legible. Can anyone help with this?
Browse in registry to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
Create a new DWORD Value and name it “ Capability “ give it a value of “ 37 “ all without quotes. Save and reboot the phone and it will work.
Please let me know if this works for anyone.
Thanks for all the help.

Help with what file WM6 uses for voice tags
Can someone please tell me what .dll or file is used when you record a voice tag. I am using Andots WM6 ROM on my SMT5600 and voice tags do not work. I want to try to replace the non-working file with a WM5 file.
Or, maybe someone could tell me how to figure out what file/.dll is used. I’ve searched the registry for anything referring to voice tags but I found nothing.

Some bluetooth utils you might find useful

The first is A2DPSwitch. I wrote this a while ago and posted in the Kaiser forum. Posting it here because I made some changes and think some here might find it useful. It simply toggles the connection to an A2DP headset. Simply run the exe and if connected it will disconnect. If disconnected it will connect. The new changes are that now it checks to make sure BT is on first, and turns it on if it isn't. The other is a fix. Before if there was a non A2DP headset and an A2DP headset in range sometimes it wouldnt work. Now it always finds the A2DP headset. Useful for those pesky car head units that don't automatically connect A2DP. The cab will place a shortcut in the start menu.
The second is BTKeepAlive. An exe that runs in the background and checks to make sure BT is on and turns it on if it isn't. The checking interval in milliseconds can be modified by changing HKCU\Software\JKing\BTKeepAlive\Interval (DWORD). The default value is 60000 (one minute) and if that reg value does not exist 60000 will be used. BTKeepAlive 1.1 can now also keep discoverable mode on. Set HKCU\Software\JKing\BTKeepAlive\KeepVisible (DWORD) to 1 and BT will be kept on invisibility mode. The default is 0. I know there is a mortscript written to do this but I would prefer not to leave this up to a mortscript. Also, BTKeepAlive will automatically check immediately after the device is woken from sleep. Run BTKeepAlive.exe to start it and run BTKeepAlive.exe again to terminate it. The cab will place shortcuts in the start menu and in startup, and will create the reg value.
While you're at it, why not assign A2DPSwitch to the long press of a volume key?
[/Shameless plug]
Now back to working on X1BC. Cheers!
Thanks. It's a must for buggy HTC bluetooth driver across all their devices. My Kaiser and X1 always drop A2DP connection after phone call, and it would not happen on my Asus P525 on Eten M600
why is it after i have installed it, it doesnt seem to run? it just show a blank icon and doesnt do anyhting. its for both programs.

The programs do not have interfaces. BTKeepAlive will just run in the background. click on it again and you will get a notification that it is exiting. A2DPSwitch toggles and A2DP connection. Do you have a wireless stereo headset?

I thought it was just that the Windows Mobile bluetooth stack just sucked at A2DP. Did either of those devices use the broadcomm/widcomm bluetooth stack?

A cab file is an installer that you can run directly on your PPC. Just copy the cab file to your X1 using Active sync or by copying it to your storage card and open it on your X1 using the file explorer.

That is strange that you must keep bluetooth on visible for your head unit to connect. Sure, I will add a registry value "KeepVisible". If the value is 1 btkeepalive will keep visibility on.
Ok, version 1.1 uploaded. Set HKCU\Software\JKing\BTKeepAlive\KeepVisible (DWORD) to 1 and BT will be kept on invisibility mode. The default is 0.
Hey JKingDev,
great work!
I've already tested it. I changed the DWORD to 1 and now it keeps BT visible
Thanks a lot!
Great set as usual JKing
i really like your apps, installing almost all of them on my phone

Thanks a lot!

Hmm, I am really not sure why that is. It should be in add remove programs as "Jonathan King's BTKeepAlive". How did you install it? Did you manually run the cab or did you use something like UC to install? To manually remove, stop the program, delete the shortcuts from \Windows\Startup and from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, delete the program from \Program Files\BTKeepAlive, and delete the reg key HKCU\SOFTWARE\JKing\BTKeepAlive.
confirmed with my x1 too btkeepalive keeps on bluetooth all the time!!!! great work!
JKingDev, may i make a request ?? hmmm ! could you create a deamon that when the handsfree from your car connects the deamon would activate a2dp ??
this would be a killer deamon !!! like you said that car a2dp is a pain ...
This script works perfectly, thank you so much! My HTC Diamond disconnects bluetooth randomly when paired to my BMW bluetooth so hopefully it'll work as well in my car as it does when I toggle off bluetooth manually. One quick question, if I set the dword to 1000 (1 sec) will that have any impact on my battery? I'm hoping not as this is such a tiny program but I really have no idea.
