Hey all
I keep getting "error with bluetooth hardware" everytime I search for other bluetooth devices.
It was working fine and had NO problems until all of a sudden the connection was dropped. It was then that reconnection was no longer working.
I use fit4cat and had no problems before and I doubt it had anything to do with this program.
However, I did install netfront, IM+, pocket plus, pocket weather recently and I have a feeling one of these installations affected the bluetooth.
I uninstalled pocket plus and weather but still no help.
anyone?...
The only for-sure way to determine if you have a hardware problem is a hard reset. Does the problem still occur after you hard reset? With backup programs like spb backup (free trial available) its trivial to create a backup first that will fully restore your software afterwards. I've been hard resetting regularly lately since I've been playing with the widcomm development stack.
I've tried a hard reset multiple times and still, the same message. Its really weird. I think I'm the only one with this problem. But any how I've gotten replacement and there's no problems yet.

Hi everybody,
my htc tytn hangs abount 5-10 times a day. The only thing I can do when it happens is to detach the battery and reboot. This is quite annoying, especially when it happens as soon as you receive an sms and it get lost.
This usually happens when I do some "operation", like receving an sms, detach the battery charger or the usb cable, open an application.
Should I contact technical support and ask for a repair/replacement or it is better to try with a firmware upgrade?
My tytn has version 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0) of windows and ROM 1.18.258.2 (07/22/06), radio component 1.03.03.10, protocol version 32.34.7010.01H, extrom version 1.18.258.105 ...
Thanks in advance
what software have you installed on your device?
the most "intrusive" software I use is probably Wisbar Advance, but the problem persist even if I disable it. Other software installed includes:
Resco Explorer (w Today,Registry and FTP Add-in)
TomTom 6.0.10
RARLAB Pocket RAR
Sunnysoft Backup Manager
Spb GPRS Monitor
i have always had bad luck with WAD.. i also had lock up issues with Spb GPRS Monitor
Do you have .NET Compact Framework 2.0 installed on your device? Mine use to hang up all the time. I finally did a hard reset and restored my device to a date before I had intially installed it. Now my device might hang up once every few days or so at the most. Anyone else notice that .NET Compact Framework 2.0 caused problems on their device?

Nope, it's fine on mine and used by quite a few of my applications. But, often I believe it's not any one application but the particular combination of things you have installed and the way you have your device stup that's the problem. So someone may well find installing a certain application causes endless problems whereas another person has no problems.
Everyone who does not need active sync running all the time should ensure they have taken the steps outlined many times on this forum.

Hey all,
I have been running the underground crossbow rom for a week or so, and I must say that I like it a LOT. For those that have a Cingular 8125, I would greatly recommend this rom.
I have noticed a couple quirks, and wondered if anyone has experienced them as well. First of all, OMAPClock isn't retaining its setting. I check it every once in a while to make sure it's still running at 252, and it's back at 180. I verified this speed in TCPMP. I decided to try the OMAPClockPlus helper, and when I registered it as a notification, it seemed to be fine until I did a reset, in which it wasn't registered anymore. I couldn't even find the notification it was supposed to create. So that did absolutely nothing for me.
Next I tried manually making a notification in memmaid that pointed to the /windows/startup/omapclock.lnk that I made that has the -clock 252 parameter after it. Even though this is set to run at wakeup and still appears in my notification queue, I check it and often it's back to 180. Any ideas?? Do I have a bum version of OMAPClock? It's the one that came with the rom. Oh, forgot to mention. I commented out the line in the smartskey ini that calls omapclock since I made a notification. It works fine for a while after resetting, I assume until it goes asleep. This tells me that the notification works as it is set to 252 when I reset, but that something is failing later. Maybe some of you that know more about omapclock and how it works can shed some light.
My next issue is with Windows Mobile Device Center (ActiveSync Replacement in Vista) and bluetooth. Has anyone successfully set this up in Windows Vista? I don't like WMDC, activesync was easier to set up. basically with wmdc you can't choose which BT port to allow, you can only choose "use bluetooth." This being said I can never get "ActiveSync" to show up as a service when pairing my phone. I tried installing AS 4.5 beta and WMDC wouldn't allow me to even install it. I'd like to get it working with BT, so if anyone has a success story, would you mind sharing it?
I am hoping the omapclock issue isn't related to the rom, as I really like it so far. I used it with no problems on every other rom I've had so far. Thank you for reading this short novel, and thank you also in advance for any expertise you can share!
Sorry, I cannot help you with you Omapclock issue, but I can provide some insight to your WMDC and bluetooth issue, because I ran into the same problems.
My computer shipped with the Toshiba bluetooth stack, and that automatically installs a port for ActiveSync on Comm 7. However, after switching to the default bluetooth stack in Vista, I was able to add an Incomming Port (ended up being Comm 4), and then ActiveSync showed up as a service on my fone. I have read places that people cannot get WMDC and Bluetooth to work if they are running the Widcomm stack, and I can personally say it was impossible with the Toshiba Stack. I guess because the built-in bluetooth stack is Windows made, WMDC knows where to look to get the incomming port, becuase as you stated, you cannot specifiy it. My advise, therefore, would be to use the default windows stack, and add an incomming port, which hopefully will solve your problem.
The problem with the default bluetooth stack in Vista is that it doesnt support some key profiles, A2DP being one of them. To me, bluetooth connectivity with my phone was more important than wireless headphones, so I switched to the default stack.
Let me know if this works out.
Hi,
at first: i already did a hard reset... didnt help.
so to the topic: when i am syncing my device with active sync everything works fine. then i disable bluetooth on the touch dual.
after doing this, i cant enable it again, whether in the connection manager nor in the settings table for bluetooth. it spends 10-20 seconds with doing anything but then jumps back to "off". then i have to restart my touch dual and after that i can enable bluetooth normally --- till i sync the next time.
has anybody got a clue, why this is happening?
has anybody the same problem?
no ideas? anyone?
lastpush for today, its midnight now here in germany ;-)
good night
I too have a similar problem like yours all of a sudden I can no longer sync with bluetooth properly for some bizzare reasons it connects and it just hangs can't do anything i.e browse files or tranfer on dual however it works fine via USB but with bluetooth it has mind of it's own it just work now and then, sometimes I have to wait at 20 minutes for it to sync properly weird
Tried everything re-boot, re-paired the device, system restore, did hard reset on dual, re-installed WMDC 6.1 even to the point downgraded to WMDC 6.0 still now joy!!!
Can't fathom what's wrong!! it was working fine couple days ago did not install any new apps on my laptop and I have a Microsoft Bluetooth stack as it's well know that WMDC has issues with other bluetooth stacks i.e. toshiba, widcomm etc... this WMDC is driving me nuts!!!!
Any tips would be appreciated I'm almost giving up! getting used to the old fashioned USB sync.
Running Vista Ultimate if that helps!
i will get a new touch dual on saturday or monday next week. i then can tell you, if its a problem with the touch dual or with the pc you connect to..
but for testing you could try to send some big files over bluetooth from your touch dual to another bluetooth phone.
I've got some problems just with the Toshiba BT drivers on my laptop... it seems that the Serial Port Profile is not recognized as "Active sync" connection in the BT device manager on the Dual. I have to change the serial port in Active Sync on the laptop (to a wrong one), change again to the right port (com7) and then refresh the services for my laptop in the BT device manager on my phone. After that the sync works again...
I've tried with Microsoft BT drivers and it works fine ! Somethimes i have to stop BT on both pc and Dual, and start it again....dunno why...
I've reinstalled the Toshiba BT drivers because on my laptop with M$ drivers i can't able to shutdown the BT device... so i have to switch the com port and refresh the services everytime.... a little bit tricky but it works...
Regards,
Raid.
well but in my htc touch dual i cant swith bluetooth on after syncing *g*
i always have to soft reset
is there any registry trick or something i could try?
Bluetooth issues here, too!
Please advise if this is a known feature.
I only got my Touch Dual yesterday. So far seems a great device. However, I can not get it to turn on the bluetooth at all!
Everytime I try it says bluetooth error!
I can't pair with anything at all.
Many thanks for any help.
well now we are four people with the same problem...
I think we have to wait till the first rom update, or a custom rom...
I emailed HTC support - their suggestion is that I try a hard reset - not done yet.
If no luck with the reset then it might be an electronics issue! If so it will be a discussion with Orange to get fixed.
I will update you on progress...
Well, I can confirm, as expected that the Hard Reset did nothing at all!
A new phone is on its way to me apparently...!
i have same problem with you..i had hard reset but bluetooth still did'nt work...i had hardSPL, change radio and ROMs but the problem still exist...
Hello. My X1i has a bluetooth issue for turning on the bluetooth. I think ti was affected by some application, or may be conflict between the rom and application? My rom is itje touch experience v2.1, and I tried to solve this problem by uninstalling all my application on the device but it doesn't help. Then I did a hard reset and the bluetooth works again but after I install my applications, it fails to turn on again. I can't figure out what is affecting the bluetooth. Any idea please???
after a hard reset install your apps one by one and check bluetooth connectivity after every app installation to know what affects your bluetooth connectivity. also check carefully apps compatibility with x1 before installing by reading others comments. by the way what apps did you install?
well i installed a lot of app but most of works fine in my stock rom before. The weird thing is that even though i uninstall all of the them, it doesn't fix the problem...
Anyway, thanks for our suggestion. i will flash a R2A rom when i finish my class 2 weeks later. Just suck it up for pouple weeks
Hi guys,
i recently received my iTech R35 A2DP Bluetooth Headset for my Touch HD which is identical to HTC BH S100 since its only rebranded.
Pairing, controls and everything works fine, but when playing music the connection constantly gets lost for short terms regardless of the distance between the phone and the Headset.
The weird thing about it is, that the headset works perfectly with my friends HD. He even could go away like 10m without any kind of interruption.
I already tried some different settings with HD Tweak but no improvement.
Besides I noticed that overall bluetooth performance with my phone, as it once took about 30 minutes to send a 50MB file, isn't that good.
Thanks for any help!
Update:
I tested the Headset today with two other phones (SE W950i and some Nokia). It worked perfectly so I figure something has to be wrong with my phone. I'll perform a hard reset on the weekend and see if it changes anything. Otherwise I'll have to contact the customer service.
Has anybody here experience with german support. If I had to send the phone in, how does it usually take til u get your phone back?
Well, I just performed the hard reset and it solved the issue. Very strange since I hadn't installed that much programs.
Well, the problem returned and I now figured it out in detail.
There's no correlation with the programs installed.
Once the Bluetooth headset is in the Bluetooth-Device-List as it was connected before the constant lags are there.
If I delete it and re-pair the headset the lags are gone for this one time until the headset got disconnected. Even if I get out of range and return in reach connection is crappy from then on.
Didn't anybody recognize such a strange behaviour too?
I have a similar issue with my Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 phones.
I thought I'd solved it by re-pairing with the handset, and initially that pairing seemed to last for a while, but now it seems I have to re-pair at least once a day to avoid the stuttering (it's really bad, isn't it?)
Frankly, I'm getting pretty disenchanted with my HD. Every time I discover a tweak which sorts an issue, another issue raises its head. I've lost count of the many hours I've spent trrying to get it to work as it ought to.
Wishing I'd got an iPhone. Okay it's not as good on paper, but at least everything works....
I have to agree the bluetooth is dodgy for me at the best of times in trying to connect to any computer.
Surprisingly, Ive had a good file transfer between my HD and MaxOSX, I can't say the same for Windows XP or Vista where on both accounts it has failed to connect via bluetooth to perform an active sync.

Thanks for your information. At least I'm not the only one with this issue.
Meanwhile I tested this behaviour with my buddies HD and it's the same pattern with his one.
I contacted german support today and will report after their answer.
i've been having the exact same problems with my hd. i would be able to pair it with my landrover, but then the connection would be lost. (there's another thread on this somewhere).
anyway, i tried installing BTRestore and BTRestart along with Mortscript and a custom script to help keep the bluetooth active. however, my problem was not that the bluetooth was turning off, but that the connection would not stay active.
so i installed a custom rom, Dutty's version 1.7, and also installed jetware bluetooth program (www.jetwaremobile.com); so far so good (*fingers crossed*). this is my 3rd day and the bluetooth works great. the phone connects with the car instantly, my phonebook works and i can make and receive calls without losing the connection.
so maybe updating the rom will help you too.
Sorry, it's been a while since HTC answered my questions but since their answer was quite disappointing I had no rush to post it.
Summarized they told me the HTC BH S100 was not compatible with the Touch HD even though I pointed out that it's in compatibility-list of the Diamond and both are running the same Chipset and OS and that it works fine after the first pairing.
As I'm tired of reconfiguring my phone I'll wait some time to flash another ROM. I hope WM 6.5 will be released soon and fix this problem, too.
