(Admins, if this is in wrong section please move it. Sorry.)
Has anybody used this (Windows) program with their Windows Mobile 5 device?
see http://zoran-horvat.de/PhoCoWeb2/content.aspx?id=what
It is a program to allow control of your mobile from a Windows XP PC including making and receiving calls, access to address book and text messages. In the latest version 1.7.6 it claims full compatibility with my HTC Prophet device over Bluetooth, but even though I am using a Belkin F8T013 USB bluetooth dongle which uses the recommended Broadcom/Widcomm 4 stack I can't get my PC and phone to communicate, let alone make and receive calls. My phone is a imate JAMin, but I am using the latest PDAMobix AKU 3.2 ROM.
Does anyone have any experience of PhoneControl ? Any tips?
Do you think my problems are related to using AKU 3.2 ROM? Would I get any further using AKU 2.3?
Hope someone can advise me.
Cheers
Richard
I'm at my wits end with my T-Mobile MDA (aka HTC Wizard) and my new 2007 Acura RDX. The car can connect to the Internet via a Bluetooth phone to send/receive diagnostic messages to Acura, but I'm pretty sure the MS Bluetooth stack is disconnecting during the setup. I'm able to pair the HTC Wizard just fine with the car, and the handsfree functionality for sending/receiving voice calls works perfectly using the JETWare mobile Bluetooth extension on the phone. I've tried doing some basic registry tweaks in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth keys, but nothing helped. I can use my Sony Ericsson T68i phone just fine with this troublesome feature, but I really don't want to start using my old phone again. Any thoughts on what might be fubared with the DUN connectivity? I'm using the same dial strings too that work just fine on my laptop with the MDA (*99#) on T-Mobile's network. Thanks in advance for suggestions...
While I don't have specific info on your car, you may want to give a try to the
1, Widcomm BT stack (instead of the MS one)
2, AKU3 and BT PAN if your car also supports PAN and not just DUN.
Please check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282780 on the latter q.
Thanks for the reply. I've had older Pocket PC/Windows CE devices that used Widcomm, but I was under the impression that the MS Bluetooth stack was baked into the device ROM. Do I have to reflash the HTC Wizard ROM to get the Widcomm BT stack?
RE: option #2, I'm nearly certain that the car does not support PAN, but I'll dig around and see what I can find.
Thanks again.
Hmm... I just found this wiki page:
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/BluetoothDUN
which mentions Bluetooth DUN problems on the Samsung SGH-X820, which I believe is using WM5 or similar variant. At any rate, it mentions a "receive all" flag, and I'd love to know if there's a registry setting in WM5 that's related to this suggestion.

nope, just install the Widcomm BT stack, not even a hard reset is needed - see the sticky thread.
Thanks again for the prompt reply. I followed the How To here:

and I also used SolSie's installation guide here to fill in some gaps:

I used the CAB file here:

Bluetooth functionality seems to working ok, but I don't see Dialup Networking as a service now on my HTC Wizard. Do I need to upgrade the AKU ROM? I'm using the summer 06 ROM update from T-Mobile USA right now. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You're right - just tested this on my Wizard. No DUN service is visible- actually, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BtConfig\Services doesn't contain any DUN service listed.
I'll tomorrow check this on my other 1.7 WM5 Widcomm-based Pocket PC's (hx4700, x51v) to see whether you can import this functionality in any way. My WM2003 iPAQ 2210 and WM2003SE PL720 lists this service; from the former (I only have this here at home in addition to my Wizard; the rest are all at work) a direct HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BtConfig\Services\ and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Services\00001103-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB] didn't work though.
From what I've read on other sporadic posts, it seems that the Windows Mobile registry has a setting for enabling a "receive all" parameter for Bluetooth that fixes DUN problems. I'm sure there's a bit of a security risk in that, but I'm willing to try anything at this point.
You mean the standard BT / IrDA receive all? It's not dangerous at all - and, for that matter, it doesn't even add much to the overall power consumption, contrary the popular belief (see my related power consumption measurements)
Thanks for the reply. I read your post(s) on power consumption--excellent stuff. I can see options for IR ("Receive all incoming connections"), but not for Bluetooth, other than the discoverable option. Is there some registry parameter? That's what I'm looking--if DUN is failing during a PPP connection because a some weird rejection command, I'd like to see if there's anything I can try out to work around that.
The "Recieve incoming beams / Recieve Incoming Connections" in the IR menu in also responsible for BT file recieves. In addition to enabling the BT discoverable option, you need this to be turned on to accept file tranfers. I'm not sure about how this is going to effect DUN, but give it a shot.
This is prolly what you might have read in one of those posts that you mentioned.
BTW, the DUN service will not be offered even with the Beam Receive option enabled.
This may mean, currently, unless someone invents a way to access DUN under Widcomm, it's impossible to use Widcomm-based WM5 PPC PE devices as external dial-up modems.
Hm...
I know this is kinda off topic of DUN, but using the Axim Widcomm stack on my 8125, I loose all sound from the speaker.... anyone else encounter this?
Yes I have this problem too, can be solved just by calling someone... but then there are other problems...
1)Memory leak after turning off Bluetooth.
2)Only solution is to leave it on, but there are other issues here, for me, so far, it is my Wizard hangs(require soft reset button) or the sound of the speakers dissappears and gets redirected to the phone speaker only... after about a days use..
Hm.... well.... suck. I wish someone released a custom ROM without the MS stack

but from the axim site, you can actually remove the MS stack..
I bought an MDA3 with WM6 via ebay.
The bluetooth stack is not very good (DialUpNetwork does not work, ...).
Is there a better one (Broadcom instead of Microsoft)?
I tried "Broadcom_Bluetooth_Manager.CAB",
but I got "bluetooth radio failed to turn on due to insufficient driver memory" :-(
And "ba_wm5_broadcom1.7_test.rar" seems to be older than "Broadcom_Bluetooth_Manager.CAB".
What can you recommend to me?
(And another question:
How can I find out, whether I have Helmi's WM6 ROM or some other one?
It is ROM 5.60.00 WWE 03/02/05, Radio 1.15.00, Protocol 1337.45)
Really nobody out there, who can help me ?

Suggested you can use Sun_Dream's Rom. Try to connect your Bluetooth stereo at firstly, then del the equip under the list, finally reconnect by click your BS equip. you will find all will be good in this action. Certainly D700's Bluetooth stack is quite ill to use, don't expect use it as normal.
Dial-Up has been deleted in WM6 and wm6.1, because preferred way of sharing the internet connection is to use "Internet Sharing" application, that is built-in.
Apart from the fact, that it has problems with keeping 2 active Bluetooth connections I see no problems with Windows BT Stack in BlueAngel.
The only other way is to go back down to WM5 Helmi 1.3.2 ROM and install Widcomm Bluetooth Stack made by Helmi for this ROM (Please note: you cannot just install a new BT stack from different provider: Bluetooth stack must be engineered for the specific ROM and the only 2 cases it will work for BA is update of the BT stack in WM2003 up to v3900 and WM5 1.3.2 Helmi ROM update I mentioned above).
First of all many thanks for the answers.
As to "Internet Sharing", I am a little bit confused.
Isn't this to use the Blue Angel as an internet modem for a PC?
But I need something else (which works quite well WM2003):
Use my UMTS/HSDPA mobile phone as an internet modem for my Blue Angel.
And this seems not to work with the Bluetooth stack in WM6 :-(
Any idea, what I could do (except going back to WM2003 or WM5)?
And did I correctly understand, that there are alternative Bluetooth stacks for WM2003 and WM5 but not for WM6 and WM6.1 ??
Someone has to know how to use the Bluetooth hack on QTEK 9090? Or if you have any other program similar to it, because I tried in every way and will not x_x.
QTek 9090 Windows Mobile 6.5
Thank you!
I thought all available bluetooth hacking tools are obsolete for couple years now? They only worked in early versions of WM 5 as far as I know. Then they had fixed the security issues.
Well I do not know this, because even with the WM3 old I could not use, using Bluetooth hack any phone that supports Java standard, it works at least QTEK: S, hence I was curious if this is or know how to fix it.
hey I am in need of a bit of help
I am trying to get my HD2 working via my bluetooth Dongle that uses bluesoleil 6 the problem I have is it only lists the HTC HD not the HD2 so I choose that and then I get a message that the cab is not installed so I installed the cab from the folder and I still get the message.
If anyone has an idea please let me know
Thanks,
yonu
I run bluesoleil 6 on my laptop, hd2 connects fine ....never installed any cab on the hd2 tho
are you able to access the phonebook via bluetooth places? and if so what version of bluesoleil are you using?
thanks,
yonu
This actually sounds like a problem you should contact Bluesoleil about, if their "official" cab does not work, or if they need to add HD2 support ...
the problem is according to the bluesoliel folks i had a bootleg dongle so i am stuck at 6.249 or buy a copy
