Upgrade Pocket Bluetooth Tools 1.0.1.2

The current version 1.60 of the ROM includes already a virtual serial port but unfortunately it is a dynamic port, which is not visible to many applications. Also the ActiveSync support is difficult and complicated to use and if you want to synchronize with different computers you have always to couple the device again.
For future releases I plan the following improvements:
Support for Bluetooth headsets
Support for Bluetooth network access points
Send contacts and files through Bluetooth

i am looking also for handsfree bluetooth support if any help on that

Yeah, headset works fine, it's the handsfree profile we need, that's the one adding enhanced features....

Do you know why some headsets work better than others? I understand that the profile does not work and therefore you can not use the functions on the headsets, but I'm curious if your recent fix will help headsets such as the Jabra BT250 communicate better with the device. The HBH-65 has no issues, but Jabra does note, often very slow to connect. I like the Jabra because I can hear better-age you know.

Maybe because of the headsets itself ? I bought a HBH-35 and can do [/quote]anything with it, walk out of range and back, turn it off and on, reset the MDA, chanrge the headset etc etc. without having to re-pair...

What headset-functions do you mean ? Caller ID ? Voicedial etc. ?
That's not in the headsetprofile, that's in the handsfree profile. the headsets with enhanced functions use the handsfreeprofile also, nut just the headsetprofile...

downloaded and installed 1.0.1.2 fantastic my new bt gps works! However I can not use my gps and hbh-65 headset at the same time, any ideas please

Simply stated I was wondering if the new blutooth fix might help the Jabra BT250 work better. I know other headsets work without issue, but Jabra seems to have some problems, and I doubt that this is a Jabra problem, I believe it is a BT Device profile issue.

Can I have another link to the software cause the link is blocked from my ISP, or can any body upload it here or any other palce...
Best regards,,,

I have a new HBH-200, it works ok to answer a call but all the other features are not working, such as caller number etc.

Like i said; It's not i the headsetprofile. The headsetprofile doesn't do much except making a wireless headset possible. Answer, dosconnect and talk and listen, that's all...
Everyting else is in the handsfreeprofile (handsfree is used for advanced options for headsets and carkits)...

Link down????? :?:

not for me

Handfree Profile
I have 2 phones, XDA II and a Nokia 8910i.
My bluetooth Headset is the Ericsson HBH65.
To my surprise, I have paired the HBH65 with both phones and I am able to receive calls from both phones (not at the same time of course) without any problems. Whichever phone rings first get the use of the HBH65. In conflicts however, the Nokia seems to have priority over the XDAII, which is fine with me, but I am so happy that it actually works.
As others are mentioning, I am really missing the enhanced functions of the Handsfree Profile. Can anyone suggest any solution or perhaps work on resolving this issue as a lot of people are waiting for this. I was aware that Towas was planning to release a new version to his BT Stack Fix, has he got anywhere with that by any chance? or anyone else?

Any way to listen MP3 by bluetooth handfree using mini??

Anyone can help on this please:
Any way to listen MP3 by bluetooth handfree using mini??
Many many many thanks

Not at the moment.
The M$ stack does not support the audio gateway profile.
In fact the consensus is that the M$ stack is ****e.
There are other stacks that can be installed, bluesoil and Toshiba IIRC, but they are buggy and I dont know if they do the audio gateway profile.
let us pray that HTC see the light and release a better BT stack!

Thanks, let see anyone can break through this problem.......

Do you mean something like this :-
Media Player Headset with Bluetooth wireless technology
http://www.itechdynamic.com/html/products.htm

Yes, but I think they don't work on O2 mini, because of the microsoft BT stack...... hope some body can make the patch for this.

download bluetooth update patch for PPC, it pass test on o2 mini. for detail please check http://www.pocketpc.com.hk/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=18189
it is CHINESE web site from Hongkong.

They said it is not support on O2 mini.........

If I installed a BT dongle on a PC... it support all... including audio gateway.. I can listen mp3s via headset...
why O2 just can't do it the same way... :? since all are based on BT technology...

samsonlo, some message from that web site said: It can support O2 MINI.
I'm not sure, Maybe?

Thanks anyway, will have a try tonight.............

If O2 mini can be supported. please send some sugeestion here, thanks!

yes please keep us updated

The Hands free profile is not meant for audio streaming and i doubt that the wave output of the Magician is connected to this profile - it also isn't for the headset profile.
You need the A2DP profile, which is not included into the MS-Stack - and this has so much nothing to do with O2. It was HTCs decision to include the MS Stack into the Magician, not O2 or any other reseller. The Broadcom update is for their stack, not MS. Someone posted that some (commercial) developers are working on the A2DP profile for the Magician, which is not available yet, from what I know.

The Eten M500 (which uses the M$ Stack) has now been patched to allow Voice command over Bluetooth. People are trying to dump the rom so we can see how it has been done.
There is a threrad running on HoFo

Any one on here got an Eten?

This update is for the Widcomm stack. Not the MS stack that the JAM uses. It will NOT work on the JAM...it would be nice, but it doesn't.

Hey, that's my bluetooth headset, I-Tech Stereo Headset. It does work fine with the Magician with the headset profile. But since there is no support from MS Stack for A2DP, there is no way to listen to Media Player on it.
I do use it with my PC bluetooth dongle v1.2 (with Bluesoleil stack) with the A2DP.

Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Can anyone help.
I have the HP Bluetooth Stereo Headset and I assume that I need to have the Widcomm/Broadcomm stack to use it.
I have used it with the Xda IIi and Xda 2S and it worked fine(with the appropriate patch)
I have since tried it unsuccessfully with both the Universal and the Wizard.
I know these devices are running Windows Mobile 5 and I guess this is the reason.
Is there any patch available to make the headset work
Thanks for any help

Hi there,
I think everyone WISHES they could give you an answer on that one...
Apparently, Windows Mobile 5 has the Microsoft BT stack instead of the excellent WIDCOMM stack... the MS stack does NOT include A2DP.
Apparently, there will be a patch for it from Microsoft by the end of the year... but who knows if that's true...
By the way, there are a LOT of topics on this... try a search next time to reduce duplicate posts... thanks !

JonBoy8841
there is a hardware difference between the HTC universal and Wizard with regards to the Bluetooth stacks they have. Apparently in the Universal it is 1.2 and doesn't support Stereo (forgot the actual mode name); whilst the Wizard is (I think)Stack 2.0 - but in any case -DOES support Bt stereo - so u should be able to enable it somehow on the K-Jam. now as to how to actually achieve that.... :roll:

Stero Headset is not functionally?

HP bluetooth headphones

Has anyone been able to make these headphones work with the wizard?
I have searched forums but cannot find a solution.
Hp do not have any drivers to install onto wm5 operating system.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

you don't need drivers. Just use search to find the cab update en use them.
I've just received mine: they work perfectly!

just bought a set, Help
:?: Hello, I just bought a set of these off ebay, have t-mobile mda vario flashed with the cingular rom. I am reading your posts, but cannot figure out what you are talking about with the cab update. my device finds the hp headphones just fine, but there is no usage choices listed,how do I get these things to work? is there an install file I can download? Please help.

HasC,
I've got the Logitech one and they are the same as HP.
Power of the headphones and keep pressing the power button until the led flashes red.
Then you can connect it to the wizzard with the usual 0000 pin.
Did it with mine and it works.
Cheers,
Drifter

thanks for reply, but pairing not the problem
Hello, they paired just fine with the wizard, but how do I tell the wizard to play the audio through the headphones and not the internal speaker?

Drifter, you the man!!!
Mine is working beautifully now, your instruction to wait for red light to flash solved the problem.
Thanx

totally confused now???
Hello again, They are paired, but there is nothing listed in "Services to use from this device" List, is there some software or driver I need to install? is there some menu choice I need to select somewere. Please help.

jappetto,
I am also using the cingular ROM, all I did to make them work was to follow Drifter's example on pairing them. Once they were paired it just worked straight off any audio player that I used, eg Mort player or windows media player, WM allows me to forward tracks as well.
I really dont know why you are having trouble, try removing all bluetooth paired devices from your phone and pair the headphones first. This may help

Still confused
"cab update en" sounds like software I need to download. am I using the wrong rom?

tried deleting all and pairing headphones first.
sees them but there is no services listed to use. how do you tell media player to play through headphones? does it happen automatically when you turn yours on? or is there a button or command I am missing?

read all about the A2DP update in the Tornado forum as well as the A2DP threads here before you start to use your headsets. You will need A2DP to make these awsome HP headphones work to their fullest abilities.

Japetto,
I am using this ROM:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe
It has A2DP settings configured already.
When you pair the headphones with this ROM installed, make sure your volume is not on silent on phone (should adjust automatically) when using headphones. If you are using WM player and cannot hear sound through headphones, press round connect button between the volume and track forward/reverse buttons ( the same one used to pair the headphones). this should establish a link with the headphones and start working.
No other software/drivers are needed to make them work.
Hope this helps.

ive got the normal tmobile uk rom...would it work??
what its the quality of sound from the headphones...when compared to the headphones given with the MDA Vario
also could someone direct me to a link where i can buy them from
Thanks

I'll Try it
thank you HasC

SBouri,
No, you need to change ROM so that it is A2DP compliant, at present t-mobile have no ROMS for this, mine was originally T-mobile ROM.
The quality of the headphones are fantastic, they are better than vario supplied ones because they are wireless and I have had the phone upstairs and was able to listen from kitchen downstairs, occasionally there was some interference, but close range, worked seamlessly for me.

HasC, fair enough mate..ermm i'd rather not upgrade my rom as i dont want to take any risks which will turn it into a brick
i am a techi but the phone doesnt give problems as other people post about..so id rather just keep the current t mobile rom
thanks for the reply though

You don't ned to upgrade your rom to get your stock Tmobile MDA to work with BT stereo headsets!
Just install the A2DP hack.cab found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48535&highlight=a2dp and your stereo headset should show all options for Handsfree, Headset and Wireless Stereo.
I have not upgraded my rom, as I agree with SBour, I *can* do it but it's not worth it to me just yet....
I am using the stock Tmobile Rom, the A2DP hack and I-Tech Clip s35 stereo headset. The sound is lound and crystal clear.

Jaidnoire, nice one mate, will give it a go and ill order the headphones asap...i found a site through kelkoo for £48...is that cheap compared to any other sites you may know of?

Can anyone tell me what the battery life is on the Motorola HT820? As i manily want to listen to MP3s of my Vario

The HT820 manual claims 14 hours for music listening or 17 hours talk time.

again... BLUETOOTH ISSUES

hello everyone!
i just got my first bt headset, its an anycom aris21.
the pairing with my blueangel worked like a charm, but after a day of useage, i noticed several issues i kinda dislike....
- i can not start a call (start phone) with my headset, when blueangel is not in PHONE menu! is this normal? can this be changed?
- how can i disable the phone's speaker (and mic), when using the headset? its pretty anoying to know, that the caller could be heard by bystanders...
- people seem to have problems hearing me! can i change the microfone volume of the bluetooth headset on the ba?
- how can i find out what BT stack i have?
- i have now helmi_c's WM06 installed, no changes to bluetooth made.
what recommended changes/updates/patches/... should i try for better performance?!
what to install for best results?!? is that BroadcomBT1.7 still the way to go? what cabs do I need?!
i know, that some issues have already been adressed, but things are changing so fast here, that i have problems being up to date about all issues! so forgive my ignorance and please help me!
i would be very thankful!!!
regards,
krz

Yeh, the Blue Angel is a bit strange with some bluetooth devices.

I have the following issues with WM6 on my BA, which did not exist with 2003SE:
1) When Bluetooth is active, the device turns on by itself every minute or so. I understand that this is a hacked "feature" to prevent the bluetooth from turning itself off. This is probably the most annoying thing about WM5/WM6. Is there any fix I am not aware of?
2) When I start from scratch and pair my carkit (Parrot), everything works OK, except that BA's sound putput, i.e. for Microsoft Voice Command, is coming from the BA instead of the car kit. This is too low a volume, to be clearly understandable in a car. With my Universal (also on WM6) this does not happen.
3) After pairing my Asus GPS, nothing works. If I delete all paired devices and just pair my Asus without being in range of the car kit, it will work. If both devices are turned on (car kit and GPS Receiver), none works properly.
I don't use my BA on a regular basis anymore, because I have my Universal, which works flawless. However, I see no paint in upgrading to WM5/WM6 if one ends up with LESS functionality than the original 2003SE.
The only feature I will be missing is the fact that no RAM memory is used, which means one does not loose everything when the battery drains.
Are there any tips to solve these three problems?
The WLAN "bug" is not really a problem: even with 2003SE I had to occasionaly start and restart the WLAN for it to work properly.
Cheers,
vma

@vma:
1. Well, not at the moment; maybe if someone who can play with the dll's can fix this.
2. I use a Logitech hands-free, and i have no problems.
3. No problem here using a NoBrand BT GPS receiver and the hands-free in the same time.
Overall, my BA work much better on WM6; its just my experience.

problems i still have:
- i can not start a call (start phone) with my headset, when blueangel is not in PHONE menu! is this normal? can this be changed?
- how can i disable the phone's speaker (and mic), when using the headset? its pretty anoying to know, that the caller could be heard by bystanders...
- how can i find out what BT stack i have?
- i installed that Boradcom stack 1.7 without having any succes in getting my headset to work. with or without patch1 and htcheadset! any ideas?!?
- what excactly is that HTC HEADSET ADDON ?
please answer soon, any help is very much appreciated!!!!
thx in advance,
krz

1. Same here; i think is my hands free set limitation.
2. I get the same using the Broadcomm stack; use the MS stack.
3. Depends; if you use Broadcomm/Widcomm, you have an "about" box; if you use MS, i don't know.
4. i get it working, but with audio in hands free AND speakers; annoying.
5. don't know, try Google.

What Bluetooth Stack you use ?
First, I use the existing MS Stack on Helmi WM6. BT GPS and Handsfree couldn't run at the same time.
Second, I use Broadcomm Stack 1.71. BT GPS and BT Stereo could run at the same time, but Hands-free function didn't run at all.
Give me a light please.

your bluetooth headset
A few of your problems could be from the bluetooth headset you are using now-- such as when people can not hear you clearly. I currently have a sound id sm100 bluetooth headset and it works flawlessly....although i still can not activate voice calling from it(it activates it on my BA so i have to talk into my BA and not my headset). It could just be your headset.

Yeah, Bluetooth in BA really sux... you have to choose your bt handsfree wisely, make sure you try it on BA properly before buying it... currently I am using i clip II mini, and it is giving me the same behaviour as shazzy84's
