Hi,
i have a serious Problem with my german T-Mobile MDA-II:
Everytime i place a phonecall and even if my phone rings and i don't pick up it automatically enables Bluetooth.
The little blue symbol in the bottom-right corner of the today-screen is normally stroken by a red line, but after any gsm-operation the red line is gone and after double-clicking it say Bluetooth enabled.
The only gsm-operation which doesn't enable Bluetooth is sending and receiving sms.
Anyone else having this kind of problem or is my device somehow broken?
(I did have PocketZenphone installed but did uninstall it after a few tests - could that be somehow related?)
any answer would be nice! (standby-time is pretty low if bluetooth is always enabled but not needed)
kind regards,
alpha
mine does that too
and no turning on software is not a sign of hardware failure
smoking and open flames and not being able to hardreset is a sign of hardware failure though
i think mine started to do that after in installed bluetooth tools that free upgrade
from what i can read then it have something to do with support for bluetooth headset where it is required for the phone to turn on bluetooth when a call is recieved in order for the blue tooth headset to work
ok thanks,
maybe i should crawl the registry for a hint.
the notifications-database doesn't contain bluetooth related items!
but the software-idea seems strange because i don't even know that software you installed...
I believe he is speaking of Pocket BlueTooth Tools by Towa. One of the features of this software is that it turns BT off between calls, and then on again when a call is received - presumably to save battery life. Look in Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and see if it is listed there.
Hi,
I've recently purchased an xda 2 from O2 it came with a free bluetooth headset, but I've a few problems and wondered if anybody could answer a couple of questions.
1. The little blue flashed LED, is it meant to flash all the time that bluetooth is being used? It seems to start flashing and then just stop.
2. When I go into my bluetooth settings and turn it back on when it's switched itself off I don't get the LED flashing then I go back into the settings again and it says that it's off. Is this what it's meant to do?
Any good guides/tools about using bluetooth with this device?
Beginning to pull my hair out and I've not much to spare!
Cheers

Free? from O2? how?
1stly howd u manage 2 get sumit out of O2 for free? i would be worried about that allready!!
what bt Headset did u get? with mine, i get a blue light flashing intermitently when the headset is turned on, and it doesnt change when im making a call.
which bt settings are you talking about? obviously you need to have bonded with the device, which the headsets instructions should cover.
to turn bt on the phone on you click on the bt icon at the botom of the active screen and select the On radio button.
if headset profile is enabled then there should B a small blue headset symbol next to the bt symbol, if its not set, or not turned on then it will be gray. if it is gray then click on it and hopefully it will turn blue to activate the headset profile.
there are sum interesting bt tools around, but the "recomended" setup is the Pocket Bluetooth Tools for the O2 XDA II and the MDA II which is available from here:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
I hope that helps.

sounds like you are using bluetooth tools and have got the clock symbol live (not greyed out), it times out the internet connection but doesnt seem to tell o2's software that it turned it off so when you go in, it quite often seems to think its on when its actually off !!
Hi, I didn't have the bluetooth tools loaded, but I've downloaded them from the site you suggested and everything seems to work better.
The headset did indeed come free from O2 I was quite surprised too.
I've think I've attached an image of it, not sure what make it is does BlueTrek sound good?
Yeah that sounds about right, their website doesnt actually give any details, helpfull as allways!! :roll:
neway, have u got everything working properly now?

Hmm...somebody had the same problem with his Bluetreks G2 and the XDA2.
He did a special pairing mode and it solved the problem.
I think its in the G2s instruction manual.
Had a look at the manual can't see anything special in the way that you pair the G2 to the XDA2.
Do you use this bluetooth toolkit?
It still seems flaky, I tried answering a couple of calls with the headset yesterday and nobody could here me at the other end of the phone. Sometimes I get it where the phone says that I have "no bluetooth available" I have to remove the battery and insert it again. Is this normal?
Regards
Marc
Marc,
I get the same symptoms you describe when I'm using ActiveSync with my XDA2 over bluetooth, but never with my HBH-65 BT headset. I'm not using any additional bluetooth tools or anything like that. Just the standard built-in bluetooth on my original (November 03) ROM.
Sometimes if my bluetooth ActiveSync connection is idle for a while the connection drops and the flashing blue light on the XDA2 goes out. However, if I tap the little blue BT icon at the bottom of the Today screen, the setting shows that BT is still turned on. I have to tap it on, then off then on again to cycle the status and convince the machine that bluetooth is really back on again. :? This sounds like the problem you describe.
However, no problems like this with my BT headset, which works perfectly.
This isn't any help, but at least you know you're not alone!
Does anybody know if a registry entry exists to turn the bt headset profile on and off?
I've got headset working now but it switches off frequently.
Cheers
Marc
I have a BlueTrek G2 for my Imate and it's working with no problems at all ... I tried BT tools but didn't find it useful as I thought it will give me a "Hands free" profile but it doesn't :x
mokl: maybe it's a ROM issue ... mine is 1.72 WWE, what's yours ?
The rom version is 1.60.00WWE
Just to let everybody know, I had some major problems with my bluetooth on my XDA 2. Tried everything, eventually got a replacement from 02 and the new one works fine now, so it must have been a hardware fault.
Hallo...
I have serious problem and till now I don't know how to fix it. I change the registry to allow the Bluetooth Headset to activate the MS Voice Command, when I click the button on the BT the Voice Command starts fine, but if I want to use it agin, the VC doesn't work anymore, I hear only a "peep" but the programm doesn't respond. I have Qtek 9100 with the last official ROM .
Any idea or solution to fix that ?
I appreciate any comment.
Thomas voicecommand and bluetooth has some issues. Basically, when you use VC the first time it opens the channel with the device, once you have then used it you need to hold the button down on your bluetooth device to close the channel. Then pressing BT again should open voicecommand. There's a number of posst for this problem but hopefully I've given you the basic issue
Thanks for your reply... But no, closing the Voice Channel doesn't solve the problem.. I have tried all that before I post my question, it really works only once and no more, only after restarting my device it will work again for once.
I am starting losing a hope that it can be fixed.
Thomas1234: I started trying to come up with solutions to this a while back but never had time to work on it further yet. Anyways what I came up with so far can be found here. It's not perfect but may work with your headset and make it useable for the most part.

Hi shoey5!
Thanks for trying to help me, but it doesn't work, and it looks like that this file damaged the connection between BT headset and the Voice Command or any Voice calling, even the one by default ( voice calling ) doesn' work anymore now.
I was able before at least to do the voice calling, but now it doesnt work after I changed the registry to default to read from the sddialer.exe file.
Can you please explain me what did the file change so I can change it back if i is possible ?
I did softreset alot, but doesn't help.
Thomas1234: It doesn't modify or change anything, all it does is run resident and resets the Audio Gateway Service after a call has ended if there is a bluetooth device active. Removing it from your startup folder and resetting your device will get rid of it completely.
Are you sure you haven't modifed something else before or after that may have affected your problem. I know this sounds silly but is your volume up, can't tell you how many times I sit there pushing the button and wondering why I don't get anything only to realize my volume is off
BTW, Try this. Leave the program in your startup folder, power off your headset and reset your device, then power on your headset and see if it works from that point on. I've noticed this happens to me with headsets that exhibit this problem the odd time.
Thank you anyway..
I ended up to do a hard reset, because softreset didn't help... It has been worse, I even couldn't dial a number using the BT headset, well I won't say it is 100% because of your file, but I am sure I didn't do anything with the device that can cuse this problems before I applied you file, all this happened just after I installd your file.
I'll use the default Voice dialer then with my BT Headset till maybe Microsoft update its program.
this "ms voice command running only once" happened to me too, with Nokia HS-12W headset.. try using JETware Hands-free Extension for Windows Mobile phones, http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ , and activate ms voice command from its advanced settings.. it worked for me. unfortunately it's not free and it doesn't supply caller names to my hs. hope this helps..
Thanks ozkaya, the program looks useful. I'll try it and see if it does the job correctly.
Hi!
In the last some days i read a lot and found the following :
1. download the widcomm stack from axim site : LINK
2. install it + do a soft reset
3. get a registry edittor (Resco, CECMD etc.)
4. change these values :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\SerialTransport]
BaudRate=115200 (Won't start at higher rate.)
Device=COM
FlowControl=0
Parity=0
Port=1 (This is the most important thing!)
-soft reset
-at the today screen you will find a BT icon, click on it and have fun
TESTED FEATURES
-BT FTP, tested with : SE K750i, hx4700.
-ActiveSync : NOT WORKING
KNOWN ISSUES
-unable to control from comm manager
-blue led not flashing, easy to forget
-a2dp not tested
-tested on aku3.2 and aku2.3 roms, others maybe ok.
-other devices can't download bt services list, but the services works well.
-maybe unable to remove, not tested yet
-turns off, when you trun off your device, that maybe a problem with BT headset.
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK
Great news! Posted an announcement to the SP & Pocket PC Mag Expert Blog too!
Problems!!!
I've just installed the bluetoth stack in my phone. I've not yet tested it but i've found two showstop problems:
- activesync doesn't work anymore
- i cannot start the comm manager anymore (when i press the comm manager button in the upper left corner i can see only a small dialog with wifi and bluetooth power levels)
This is what i've done (maybe i did something wrong):
- copied the cab to storage and ran it (installed in device)
- soft-reset (required by the installer)
- edited the registry according to the first post
- soft-reset
I'm using an aku3.2 rom
-----EDIT--------------
Comm manager is working again. I had to reassociate it in Start-Settings-Buttons
Still no activesync (over USB at least)
bye
bye
Has anyone else tried this then? Has anyone tried the hermes cab install found in here...

There has been reports that it works on the trinity as well, so it may work on the Wizard.
Edit: No it doesn't. I have just ried it and it gives the memory error.
took the plunge and tried it
Bluetooth works and I can connect my itech S35 to it. The A2DP profile is detected and can connect... problem is, the signal is too weak to maintain a connection, in other words, I just heard 2 seconds of music and that's it... Another problem is my speakers now don't work... must do more reading...
It's hopeful though...
I am using a Dopdo838...

Did you try tweaking the BT params (for example, lowering the bit speed) to see whether it would work at lower bit speeds? See my related articles.
got look out for the links to your tips and tricks again
Hi Menneisyys,
Surrendered on Widcomm stack almost 2 months ago, now have to look again for the links for your tips and tricks for the Widcomm stack again...
Any idea on how to restore audio to my speakers... still dead at the moment... sigh... don't want to restore my back up yet...
i found that you don't really need to remove the shift* keys. if you already removed it, download the BTSpeedSwitcher from the download link, and set the speed to 921600bps. that may help.
Got it working fine
Thanks, but now I am a bit unclear, but will clear things up later. I used the speedswitcher as you suggested and but I had to disable audiogateway before it could work... now I am stuck as I put my wizard into standby and now it won't come back.... on... doh!
Well, one thing I can confirm, you can put it into standby and the bluetooth is still on.......
will feed back more when I get a clearer picture of what happened.... The sound quality is great..... just skipped for a second but is not back to normal again...
My wizard has now a nice quality A2DP sound without the high pitch noise...
went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1073003&posted=1#post1073003
and used the files from Superdave... all is well now... look at my reply at the hermes thread.. Now I will just back up this "working configuration" and retry these settings on the cab from Aximsite... All the same, thanks to the legendary Mikelspikel
Just wanted A2DP to work so bad.... and it does now. nicely..

Okay, when you get time can you stick up how you got it all working? Many Thanks!
Ive installed the Superdave BBS_HERMES_03.CAB file and then modified the registry to use the above settings but every time i do the soft reset, the registry settings go back to the original values. Im stuck here.
Oh and i am using the last T-Mobile UK rom. (2.0 i think)
Edit 2: Now got it working. I had to kill voicecmd and cprog for it to load without giving the memory issue!

as it should - BT is on on PPC PE devices in standby mode, unlike on plain PPC's.

It looks like comm manager is just an HTML document in the /windows directory. (Should be simple to redirect the button)
Leaskovski
sorry for the late reply but had a few setbacks during the night(I am in Malaysia)..
Got A2DP running all night and by mid morning... suddenly all went to hell..
1) No skipping with your suggestion of using MikelSpikel's speed switcher.
2) While trying to put it to standby to test if BT still works and it hung at first attempt. Something must have happened here as I recovered using the reset button and then suddenly I could get it to revert back to built in speakers and headset without issue. I thought, cool, it is like complete solution...
And then, I decided to backup this "complete solution" with SPB backup.. and after the softreset, I lost the ability to switch between headset and speakers. Then during the night while I sleep and use the headset, at around 3 am... the skipping came back...
and then... I restored the backup and now... got to tackle the skipping again.. never mind the muted speakers..
What linespeed(I use 320 dec), Blocks(16) and subband(8) do you use? I followed MikelSpikel's settings which work ok... last night...
back to the drawing board..
Right, i installed the superdave 03 version and then opened up the registry to make sure the settings matched the ones above. I had to kill cprog and voicecmd to start it without the memory error.
I have tested it now and although it is loading up ok, my headset connection is just not working properly. Its paired ok but nothing is getting routed through. However, my gps bluetooth device paired okay and is working fine with iGO 2006 after doing a detection. Damn shame about this headset! I am using a parrott ck3000.
redo..
Re-installed everything again and now I got a working version, some things to note though on my wizard..
1) I must overclock to 260mhz(battery status method) before I get skip free music.
2) Leaskovski, I had the same problem too in the beginning, where there is no audio getting through. Did you go to Bluetooth Manager and check the status of your headset? i went to mine(ItechS35) and I can see that the Wizard is sending data through successfully but there is no sound coming out of the headset. I solved this(that time, I don't know why it worked but it did) by going to Bluetooth services and removing the Check box for audio gateway enabled, and then music started coming through. I know, does not sound logical but it worked... that time..
Now hoping to find a way to redirect audio back to speakers when bluetooth is not used..
not tonight though.. its 10.46 pm now where I am...
This doesn't look promising for how i though the BT audio might work with this stack. I was hoping for something like the following...
"A good example of this is MS Voise command running on the MS BT stack. The two devices are paired and connected, however there is currently no streaming. You then receive the text message and MS Voice command reads the message back to you. Just before the message is read, the connection between the devices is made live, and thus the message gets read over the BT headset."
I was hoping that this was going to work for all applications like media player and iGO. I can reproduce what it is doing at the moment using the BTAudio programme that is available on these boards. I just wanted to get around this 'constant' streaming of silent noise.
Damn shame.
Okay for anyone wanting to play with this, here is how i installed and got it running...
1) Download from this thread post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1072773&postcount=72 the file BBS_HERMES_03.zip.
2) Install onto your wizard and soft reset when asked. Upon the reset, the device will moan at you about not having enought memory to load the drivers. Click ok to close this.
3) Load up your registry editor (i use FDCSoft Task Manager) and make the following mods as stated in the first post...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\SerialTransport]
BaudRate=115200 (Won't start at higher rate.)
Port=1 (This is the most important thing!)
If you only want audio routed to headset when there is audio to route then make this reg edit...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugins\handsfree]
Audiohandling=21
4) Do not do a soft reset yet.
5) Now fire up your Task Manager (i use FDCSoft Task Manager) and kill any memory hungry tasks. The ones i kill which then allow me to start the stack is voicecmd.exe and cprog.exe.
6) Now click on the BT icon in the system tray and turn BT on.
Obviously there must be some memory leaks some where in the wizard because a couple of people have said that later in the day, if you try to turn BT on again it wont start due to memory requirements. Anyway, the best thing i can think of is to leave BT on after you have turned it on.
Currently, the blue led will not flash when BT is one. Try not to use the Normal Comms Manager to turn BT one as well as i think this trys to turn the MS stack on which won't work (probably due to memory requirements! )

I didnt get this to work in the end by the way.
I tried your idea to leave BT all the while but some problems pop up..
1) If turn off the headset without disconnecting it(BT still left on and the phone goes on standby, sometimes it won't come back.. a poke at the reset button is the only way..
2) I left BT on and disconnected the headset properly. Great BT is still on... BUT after a few hours, I can still connect the headset, but audio is not going there anymore... ??? but goes into internal speakers?

Hmm, i dont have those issues. I am using it with my carkit, so when i turn the engine off and remove the keys, the kit turns off. I haven't had to reset the device apart from when i have turned BT off and then tried to turn it back on again at a later stage (then giving me the memory issue).
If you have a bluetooth headset, then BtMusic will redirect all your audio to the wireless headset.
It will even resume the redirection after a phone call. So if you get a call while listening to an audio book, your phone won't start talking (with that scary computer voice) and won't not frighten people around, when you finish the call
all files that you need
i haven't tested this with a phone call cuz i'm nowhere near a phone to see if this app does what it supposed to with phone calls per say. the music does transfer.
Hi,
there is a new version of this software available at: http://www.maxmobilesoft.com/index.php/software/btmusic
It didn't work after install
Thank you for your BT.Music. But It didn't work after install.

which user name did you use when regististering?
not working on the Diamond with bepe's ROM 0.54.
There is an error message about the .net CF (install these versions....) - but I guess bepe included a .net CF
The feature i'd incredibly love to have, is a 'auto on' feature :
I try to explain.
To use a gps software in a car with bluetooth equipment, today, I have to
- activate bluetooth sound permanently using btmusic, includinc when the gps soft ware as nothing to say.
or
- putting the music of my radio very low to try to hear guidance instructions.
What would be fantastic is :
When my phone is paired with a bt handfree device :
When there 's no sound from the phone then music is playing on my radio.
When there's a guidance instruction (like when there's a phone call), by bluetooth car kit cut the music and play the instruction over the sound system...
do you think it would be hard to develop?
Thanks in advance!

nope, i'm looking for that since 3 years...
the badest think is that's fonctionnality is integrated in symbian, and in some bluetooth stacks in windows mobile...
Hi, in which bluetooth stacks is it possible?
I have a touch diamond and I'm trying to find out an app that does what you've described...
I don't know it's name, but in the stack included in the wm6's roms for the fujitsu siemens T830 on this forum...
I never seen this stack elsewere...
In this stack there's an option "put audio throught bluetooth" wich do exactly what I want.

BT with Igo8 on Diamond
Im using the BtMusic to redirect the instructions from IGO to my BT headset , eventhough its written here and in the developer site that the BtMusic resume the redirection after a phone call, every time i hang up a a call during navigating, the sound return to be heard from my diamond speaker...
any ideas???
Unfortunatly BtMusic 1.0 beta is not redirecting the sound to the bluetooth headset on my Samsung Omnia!
Can anyone help here?
Ehi man...
I've just tried the 1.0 BETA version and it says to me that it is expired on 1st september!
Any solution?
EDIT:
Just downloaded the 1.0 Beta verion from the official website....
It works like a charm on my TOUCH!!
Works great ...1 request?
hello
thanks for the great application
works well on my Eten Glofish M700 with WM 6.1 rom by TB_TB
the best feature in my openion is that it resumes BT redirection after hanging a call
i used acb ToggleBT that do the same job ... but after installing MS voice command 1.6 it makes the sound come off the phone after a call
my only request is that i had acb ToggleBT mapped to a hard button, when i press once i get voice out of BT & if i press again it goes back to phone
maybe something like the following when mapped to hardware button can happen with next version:
if i click the mapped button, BTMusic screen shows up, BT gets enabled automatically (as if i had clicked left softkey), then the BTMusic screen closes by itself....if i click hardware button again, BTMusic opens then it gets disables automatically then screen closes by itself...
but what happens now is that when i mapped BTMusic, i click & i get the application screen ...then i have to click on "enable"...or "disble" to divert the sound
it would be super nice if you can add toggle function, maybe a link inside the program folder to toggle BT on/off?
Thanks again...GREAT job
expiry date
the latest btmusic cab works fine...
still can not link it to hardware button for toggle action (hardware brings up software screen to furthur choices but does not activate/deactivate BT by 1 touch yet)
also has a popup that says expired 10/15/2008, although the application keeps working fine its just annoying popup...i contacted developers & he wants $10 to release a code that makes it go away...i think its little pricy for a small cab...i wish it gets released as freeware
Thanks for a great application
