Anyone come across this message yet? I added my Bluetooth headset today for IP SoftPhone purposes, and saw that the Shift found a "Bluetooth Handsfree Device (Evaluation Copy)". The headset works fine, but the "Evaluation Copy" somehow does not inspire confidence. Potential license issue in the Bluetooth stack perhaps??
Yes, I saw that when I paired my Motorola HT820 headset, which also gives me a Bluetooth Remote Control Device (Evaluation Copy).
All works fine though.
All worked fine for me aswell... Untill today that is, the connection seemed to skip and after I recoupeled my ht820 I only get sound through my internal speakers.
Both my shift and headset indicate that they are paired.
Very anoying, anyone else had this problem?
Just FYI, its a very basic BT stack included in the Shift, (you will get an error PID install for an HP 460WBT printer when connected via BT but just diasble the offending PID item in device manager and all will work fine.
I am afraid we are victims of our own devices and it goes back to something I said in the Wizard and Kaiser forums...If people here are willing to put in the unpaid hours to sort out HTC's problems they will be inclined to put out more and more devices in "Hobby" mode...
We are unpaid BETA testers for HTC don't ya know!!!
Update!
If you have Vista set to automatic updates for other downloads, CSR have just issued full versions via the service.

I have only had my XDA 2 for a week and I can’t get my Motorola 810 head set to work. The XDA finds it and tells me that it is compatible with headset profiles but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone advise me?
Thanks
Andy
Have you followed the procedure for pairing the device,ie: place xda in discover mode, when it finds the headset, tap then enter code for pairing, once paired switch bluetooth to on, then make sure you have bluetooth headset turned on from the main/today screen.
I seem to have problems with my bluetooth headset every once in a while also. I have a HBH65. On ocassion, the connection doesn't seem to be working even though headset is enabled and they are paired. I've found that if I soft reset the XDA2, that the bluetooth headset will work again.
Have you installed towas bluetooth tools patch, this fixes a lot of problems with bonding and alos makes things work where they couldnt before. I was told that the latest rom release here in UK was going to address all these problems too but I havent got around to upgrading yet, I hope it supports full headset profiles so I can originate calls from the headset as well as answering the call.
I have downloaded the new Rom update and it seems no different. I have tried a soft reset and this did not improve the situation.
I know the headset works fine as I use it with my nokia handset with no problem.
Has anyone got a Motorola 810 that works ok on the XDA ?

did the bluetooth tools patch support voice dial from bluetooth headset? if not did anyone know the new rom from O2 works with this function? thanks!
Andy, no it doesnt support originate call from headset but it did allow lots of different gps and headsets to work, the headsets work for answer call/drop call only as far as I know, in the notes for the xda2 upgrade it mentions the headset profile but I dont know if anybody has hot the headset facility to work yet, I havent upgraded yet so I am yet to test it.
I have installed the new ROM and as far as I can see it does nothing for Bluetooth beyond fixing some compatibility issues on some headsets. It still only allows one headset profile (so if you have a headset and a handsfree kit as I do you need to delete bonded pairs when you change devices - now there's intelligent functionality!!). No headset dialing so still not a complete BT headset implementation. No handsfree support.
Anyone else think that the XDAII is a great PDA but about the worst apology for a GSM phone in the last 10 years?
If anyone can point me to a decent set of BT tools to add on let me know.
Not really.
I fully agree the XDAII is a poor phone, with the best agenda and contact list available, but that is!
I wonder if Phone-pda makers are really going the so called "convergence" way.
To date, and after many different PDA/phone/PDA-Phone devices I've tried, no one is even close to the mark.
Something so "simple" such as merging an OLD Ericsson (or Sony-Ericsson) T-68 phone abilities, with just a PPC 2002 (yes, not even 2003) PDA, should produce a combo, no machine on the market is even close to.
IT'S SO DIFFICULT?
:evil: :evil:
Hello,
does anyone here drive a recent BMW that has the Bluetooth phone interface (essentially a bluetooth headset built into the car)? If yes, are you able to use it with an XDA-II?
I can't seem to bond the device with the car - the phone thinks it's done it, but the car just shows "BLUETOOTH PAIRING" and when I try to place a call the phone asks for the passkey and goes through what seems like a successful pairing process - but it does not actually work. The "BMW ULF wants to bond, enter passkey" message keeps appearing and appearing after every seemingly successful bonding attempt.
Anyone?

with the kind of money you paid for that car, the salesman should come over and do the pairing for you.
I remember reading somthing on this subjet on the forum.

Thanks guys! I guess I'm out of luck then.
I tried to use a spare Nokia 6600 I had lying around and I got a bit further, but it's still unusable. The Nokia bonds perfectly, I can call with the car's interface, incoming calls ring in the car's speakers - but whenever the call is answered only the phone's speakers and mic work...
Apparently not only does the XDA-II not support the handsfree profile (if you think about it, why should it? it would be a surprise if ANYTHING BT-related worked on it) but the Nokia 6600 is screwed up too.
I guess I'll have to get a Nokia 6310. That's one of the the recommended phones by BMW:

I just thought that since I had a "universal phone kit" in the car it was supposed to work with any recent BT phone. Universal? That list above is shockingly short.
Have you installed the latest version of bluetooth tools?
Well, Bluetooth tools actually made things worse. It still wouldn't bond correctly with the car, but after that it kept connecting and re-connecting to my PC every few seconds, even when BT was off! (It seemed to turn itself on automatically after a few minutes.) The TDK systray notification was driving me crazy. Getting rid of BT Tools solved this partucular problem.
How is the new MDA-II ROM (1.72) in regards to Bluetooth? I hear that some bonding problems have been solved - is the handsfree profile supported yet? I'm tempted to upgrade but given that it's just a beta and it's hard to go back if I end up disliking it is discouraging.
Just got a bluetooth module for my car's hand's free kit and while I can pair with it ok and use it to dial out and pick up calls, once the call connects it doesn't pass through the voice - it still comes out of the phone (XDA Exec). I've been through all the bluetooth settings and double-checked it's set up as a hands-free adapter, but I'm still getting nowhere.
Anyone got any clues before I bin this increasingly poor excuse for a phone and get something that works?
If you decide to "bin" your phone for cheap, let me know.
I have exactly the same problem with my exec and a Parrot bluetooth handsfree system. It worked perfectly well before I upgraded my phone to the latest ROM (1.30.107).
According to Parrot, I need to upgrade the ROM on my handsfree adapter. This is apparently an issue with Windows Mobile 5. You may need to do the same thing.
I haven't upgraded my Parrot system yet so can't comment if the update truely fixes the problem, but I was working perfectly before upgrading the ROM on my phone.
Ah nuts...
The bluetooth module for my hands-free kit has only just been released, so I can't see any ROM updates being available soon. Even then it will almost certainly require an expensive visit to the (probably clueless) dealers.
Can it be done?
I would like to be able to use my laptop or in fact ANY computer with bluetooth as a headset for the TyTN. Reason?
Well, while I work with my laptop I use a headset, when the phone rings I have to remove the PC headset and put on the phone headset, or pick the phone up, Ideally I would like to be able to use the one PC headset to do both.
As a secondary use a friend of mine has a Universal and a car computer, the car computer (a Dell P4 system with touchscreen etc) is connected to his car audio system, and he would also like to be able to control the phone etc from the Dell.
I personally am not really looking for PC based control of the phone, just the ability to use the one headset (wired) for both purposes via the bluetooth on the laptop.
Copious amounts of googling seem to return no information on this, but I am hoping that one or more of you on here have managed to achieve what I am trying to do.
Thanks
i remember trying that quite a while ago with my previous phone, and I found that although it cannot be done with the standard Microsoft Bluetooth stack in Windows, the WIDCOMM drivers for Windows have built in support for that feature. Although it does lack noise cancellation (im sure there is some software that will do it for you) and it does get a lot of feedback if you try and use it as a booming speakerphone. Hope this helps
Thanks, now all I have to do is find a working widcomm stack for at least one of the bluetooth adapters I have heh,
btw - advice, do NOT install bluesoleil in vista, I tried and it even corrupted the BSOD heh, that made for an interesting recovery, safe mode, remove driver AND driver files from PC.
i want to know this also. i've searched for about three days and still no luck. i have an azio bluetooth dongle and i upgraded to the latest toshiba stack that supported handsfree/headset profile. i still cant get it to work. i figure if it was working when i pair my phone to the pc under the list of services it would say headset under activesync.
if anybody knows how to get this done please post it. i will create a tutorial for it because i know many people want to do this.
Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out a way of using my computers speakers/headset as the headset for my phone.
Basically I work in a shared office and tend to listen to music all day with a closed cup headset and find it quite annoying to take off my headset to receive a call.
I've managed to get my music played form my trinity via A2DP (bluesoleil's audio sink service) to my computers headset, but calls are still left on my device
Is it possible that my computer can act as a headset too? can this be done via USB cable rather then Bluetooth?
Any ideas/pointers would be great!

Looking at my computer bluetooth configuration (WinNT with Widcomm BT stack) I can see that in the list of local services supported by the BT stack there is also the "Headset" profile. Enabling that service and pairing your phone to make it use such service should be what you are looking for but honestly I have never tried myself.
PS: You have a different BT stack so first thing you should do is check if you have "headset" profile in the list of local services... if it is not there then I guess you are out of luck.

Yer, it doesn't look like i have one, might have to try a different bluetooth stack. Shame, bluesoleil looks like a nice simple solution
Thanks for your help
