Can anyione tell whether the HD2 uses the Widcomm bluetooth stack as in the TP2 or have HTC reverted to the old MS stack as in the Snap? Thanks.
Its using Widcomm.
mhm. it does have compatibility issues. Stowaway drivers don't work, neither does Resco Explorer or Total Commander if you want to send files by bluetooth.
Stowaway keyboard works fine as standard bluetooth keyboard on HD2 - although you miss out on the function keys.
Mouse doesn't work at all.
Teksoft are developing a widcomm version of their 3rd party mouse and keyboard drivers. Once they have that you will have all the support for both mouse and keyboard you would have had in the past.
Cheers
Paul.
Here you get the beta of RescoExplorer, that supports the widcomm stack regarding sending of files...
Unsolved problems are:
1.) Volume control of stereo-bluetooth headset
2.) MS Voicecommand problems with bluetooth headset
3.) Incompability with some builtin bluetooth car-kits.

I saw the posts about getting the Widcomm bluetooth stack on an XDA II (I loved how well it worked on an iPaq 5555) and one of the features the Widcomm stack normally offered on the 5555 was the "audio gateway" - the ability to use a bluetooth headset for regular audio throughput. Bluetooth headsets without a built in DSP don't work well for music, but they are great for spoken word stuff, like books.
My question is, does the audio gateway work with the XDA II and the Widcomm stack? I believe that Tobias is planning on adding it in his excellent Pocket Bluetooth Tools, but its been a while and I don't know if he was still planning on releasing the support. One poster somewhere else mentioned in passing that the bluetooth headset "wasn't supported" with the Widcomm stack, but I don't know if he meant the bluetooth headset for phone use or the audio gateway (or if that was even true or not).
Any ideas anyone?
I hope one of the gurus here can help me with this one:
- I have the O2 Exec, with MS BT stack
- I have the Logitech MX 5000 BT Laser Desktop (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,CRID=2158,CONTENTID=10776)
- this comes with a choice of the Widcomm stack(which they recommend), or you can use the MS BT stack
I have set up BT Activesync using the MS BT stack, without a hitch, but would like the extra goodies that the Widcomm stack offers.
What I want to know is:
- can I use the Logitech Widcomm stack (which requires that I disable the MS BT stack on my pc) and still set up Activesync with my Exec?
- Or, because the Exec uses MS BT, must I set up all peripherals to use MS BT to get them to communicate?
I have checked Logitech's support forum and done an extensive search here, but I can't find a definitive answer:
- if your HTC devices uses a particular BT stack, must you use that stack on your pc , as well?
Thanks in advance...
Huisie, you *should* be able to use any bluetooth stack on the desktop.
Just ansure that you have a incoming BT port set up, point Activesync to that incoming port, and set up a partnership.
Lekker, ou seun, dankie vir die help daarmee!
So, snorbaard, I can run the Widcomm or MS BT stack on the desktop, but I'm limited to the ...uh, limited...MS BT on the Exec.
Still, I believe that Widcomm doesn't do hands-free, is that right?
Dear all,
I know that Microsoft is developing WM5 AKU2 which will include A2DP protocol; however I just can't wait for it. I saw many BT providers like Widcomm, BlueSoleil had released the A2DP stack. How can I know the BT version used on wizzard, so I can try those stacks. Many thanks in advance.

unfortunaitly those will not work on wm5, they only work on wm2003.
(have tried)
if you go into bluetooth settings you will only have three buttons at the moment, "Mode,Devices,COM Ports" you have got bt v1.2
one thing to watch out for also, is that some of the new bt headset's with a2dp with not work with voice dial, you can answer or hangup from headset, but you have to dial from the phone.
I think this is because the headset is able to be used for AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile).
(but i may be wrong)

Thanks! I tried too. Need to hard rest to bring it back.
Does this mean that we just can't do anything but waiting for MS? That's bad.

yep or someone else to do it first
I am a bit confused on what these HP headphones can or cannot do. When I look on the HP page, they are touted as the bluetooth headphones for iPAQs. There is no mention of them bing standard bluetooth headphones that can be used with any bluetooth A2DP capable device. I had assumed they were some proprietary profile that HP did on top of BT.
On the other hand, I found the same HP FA303 mentioned all over the place in these forums as being able to work on A2DP with Wizard and simlar devices.
What is the deal here? Are the HP FA303 standard BT headphones? If they are, and they can work with both iPAQs and all other BT devices, then I wonder how they work with iPAQ 4150. I have been looking all over the place for an update to the iPAQ 4150 that would make it A2DP capable. All the forums claim that such a patch is non-existant.
I suppose the bottom line question is - if I get HP FA303, will I be able to use it with my iPAQ 4150, with my TMO MDA (with A2DP patch) and with my PC with BT USB stick.
Thanks a lot
They're the real McCoy with full AVRCP support when used with WMP on a A2DP enabled wizard. Awsome fidelity and volume too. They pair well and are easy to use. The FA303s are the same exact headset as the Logitech MP3 bluetooth and iPOD headsets btw. I absolutely love mine.
Don't install the included software on your Wizard, its not needed but to make it work with your iPAQ, you'll need to install it. The software actually adds the A2DP stack + AVRCP to supported iPAQ devices. I suspect that once that software is installed, your iPAQ will be able to pair and use any BT stereo headset.
Can you use these headphones as a handsfree as well, or are they only for listening to music?
They're only for listening to music unfortunately...
Hi
Did anyone manage to replace the HD's Microsoft BT Stack with the Widcomm (Broadcom) Bluetooth stack? Are there known issues?
Thanks
Are there any replacement BT stacks at all for the default M$ bt stack?
Jetware.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
Touch Pro 2 seems to have a different stack then MS but also I heard that its hardware was different. My friend's TP2 seems to be better with A2DP then my HD. The addon mentioned in the above thread did not make difference to me besided showing the time on my AD2P headphones.
I tried the JetWare software already, but it did not work for me. My bluetooth works great to connect with my comp, and other phones, But can't use a hands free car kit. Have a Kenwood radio in my car and a Navigon gps. When connecting to either one, the bluetooth on my TouchHd will just suddenly turn off within a minute (never have more than 1 on at any given time to make sure it is not an interference issue). I know both these hands free sets work, I can connect my wife's T-Mobile dash, and my I-Mate PPC to both with no problem and perfect functionality. Kenwood's website shows compatibility with the touch pro and touch diamond. Are the BT stacks on those any different? I asked HTC and their tech support just said that kenwood does not say that it is compatible. I would think though that even just the basic hands free should still work though and not shut off on it's own.
Any suggestions or help would be very appreciated!

Is this possible at all?
What's the difference between the bluetooth on the Touch pro and the bluetooth on the Touch HD? Kenwood shows full compatability with the Touch Pro and my car radio, but does not even mention the Touch HD, and mine will not work with it. The bluetooth on the Touch HD shuts off right after it connects to the radio. Is there a difference in the bluetooth stack? If so, can it be ported? Is there a bluetooth hardware difference? Is it just a software thing on the phones themselves that might be fixable?
