Hi,
For some time, I've been having problems with bluetooth.
I'm using this rom:
[ROM] [HP iPAQ 600] [WWE] WM 6.5.3 23128 Manila Edition v0.4a
When trying to enable bluetooth from the HTC Comm Manager, nothing happens. I get a busy icon (the 4 coloured circling dots), and after about 15 seconds, nothing...
When trying to enable bluetooth from the bluetooth settings, also nothing happens (same as above).
If try to search for new devices from the bluetooth setting (with bluetooth disabled of couse, I get this error: Problem with Bluetooth hardware.(which may be due to bluetooth not enabled, but I might as well put it here)
Last, if I want to beam a file (send via bluetooth), it sais "Searching..." but it doesn't find any visible bluetooth devices.
The funny thing is, when using the official rom (IPAQ_614c_ROM_WM6.0_18125.0.4.2_OFFICIAL_EN), bluetooth works fine.
Is anyone here able to help me sort this out?
Did you install newer HTC CommManager? If yes, change to zero in registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"BluetoothPlatformType"=dword:00000001
I'm using the standard htc comm manager which is default in this rom. Is there a newer version?
The regkey you gave me, doesn't exist on my device. Should I add it?
EDIT: I just tested two versions of Keyx's roms (v39 and v38), and both have the same problem as described above
And again, with the original firmware, bluetooth works(double checked)

Hi,
I'm trying to use my XDA2 to provide Internet Access (GPRS) via BT to my portable PC.
I'm using my PCs built-in Bluetooth-module (running on WIDCOMM 1.4.1 Build 6)
I have no problem synchronizing my XDA2 with Outlook using BT (since this is a connection initiated by the XDA2) but if I "browse" the services on my XDA2 from my PC I only get OBEX Object Push.
I know from previous occations that you should be able to see Serial Ports etc.
My XDA2 is running on the following version:
R: 1.06.01
G: 1337.16
D: 1.60.00WWE
And Pocket Bluetooth Tools
Can anyone tell me what to look for?
Thanx in advance
Frank.
You can try using the XDA II in the wireless modem mode... See your program files for this application. Works for me.
There's your problem... You need to uninstall Pocket Bluetooth Tools; it removes your SSA service (which you need for BT Wireless Modem)
Hmm I also do use the Bluetooth Tools so I doubt you need to remove this very handy app. ?
Hi.
Well, I had to hard-reset my PDA in order to remove Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT), so I don't know if it was the hard-reset or PBT that did the works, but now I get the SSA profile and can connect to it without any problems.
Unfortunatly I lost the option to sync my PDA via Bluetooth, since Active Sync cant find any ports. So I'll give PBT another try, otherwise I'll just use the FIR-port to sync.
Thank you for your help. I'll let you know how things work out, when I re-install PBT.
Best regard,
Frank.
What ROM you running? With the 1.72, you have the options of enablign outgoing and incoming COM ports in the settings menu (Start --> Settings --> Bluetooth Settings)
Before installing Bluetooth Tools, I've got: Serial, SSA, Object Push, and one more.
After installing: I've only got Serial and the other one that I cannot remember.
--------------------------
For me, it was the Bluetooth Tools that was holding me back. I've emailed the author to see whether he can add the SSA port.
Update:
Well, first of all, I was thrilled to find out that I no longer have to start the Wireless Modem-app to use the GPRS-connection on my laptop. Apperantly a modem-emulator runs in the background, so my XDA2 stays fully functional while its forwarding GPRS traffic. (Though I think it's strange that theres no indication what-so-ever that the GPRS is in use - normally you get a different icon at the antenna)
Anyways, I installed the latest version af Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT). And the SSA-profile was still there and working. Then I paired my laptop using the ActiveSync profile in PBT - and wupti: Both the GPRS "dial-through"/SSA and ActiveSync is working - at the same time.
Now, all thats left is to pair it with my BT GPS receiver. Can't do it at moment since it's at home - I don't expect any problems with it though. Usually works without problems.
Thank you again for your input.
Frank.
hmm... that's awesome. I'll install Pocket Bluetooth again and see whether it works.
Can you answer these:
1. Which ROM you using (ie. O2 1.60)
2. Which version of Pocket Bluetooth Tools? 1.1.0.0?
Thanks... That's awesome news though. I love how it turns the Bluetooth on and off automatically.
WeatherB:
I'm using ROM 1.60.00WWE (QTek) and the latest version of PBT (1.1.0.0)
It works like a dream
I guess it's possible that Pocket Bluetooth is conflicting with 1.72
I know for a fact, that ver. 1.1.0.0 is conflicting with 1.72 - my friend tried to use this.
He then installed a previous version of PBT, but still can't see the SSA-profile, but the ActiveSync profile now works.
He will try to uninstall PBT and see if the SSA appears.
oh okay... I might have to downgrade to 1.60...
What's the main difference between 1.60 and 1.72?
WeatherB:
I just talked to my friend again. Seems I misunderstood him the first time. The reason he uses an older version of PBT is that with the new version his headset-profile is not supported.
Apparantly the biggest advantage of the 1.70 is the improved battery lifetime. He says he only charges his battery twice as often now. I'm sure there are other improvements - I just can't find 'em in the Upgrade 'n Modifying-forum right now.
I did the downgrade to 1.60 last night and I noticed something weird about PBT... After bonding with a device, you need to leave that last screen (the one that PBT created) unchecked and all will work fine.
Not sure if I tried this workaround with 1.72; but non-the-less, seems to be working. I did however lose the Audio Gateway after installing PBT. But no biggie, don't want to listen use my PDA as an audio gateway for my PC.
WeatherB:
Hmm. I checked the Active Sync-box, otherwise I couldn't connect via Active Sync over BT, since it wasn't in the menu.
But I don't remember if I paired it from the PDA or the PC. But everything works - also the GPS - so I guess it's simply a question on fidling with it.
Exactly... I'll play with it and see how to get the most out of it without messing it up.
Finally I found the fast and stable WM6.1 ROM that can use my Nokia N95 as Bluetooth modem without problems...
Also it looks nice:

Anyone has try it?
Anyone has try it? How is the bluetooth transfer? Is this the same from PDAViet? Thanks!
Thank ...
Thank you very much for share. I'll test it tonight.
Thank for sharing. Test
Nothing wrong but..
Hi, I have try this rom and the only problem I have found is the same wifi problem than other WM6.1 roms that can't turn on wifi from the comm manager. That can be "temporaly" solved when one click at the "Turn On WLAN". After doing that for the first time whe can turn off the wifi from the comm manager and we can TURN ON again from comm manager all the times we want.
It is not hard to enable WiFi ONCE from WLAN manager after which you can use CommManager.
That's actually usual WiFi behaviour for all BA ROMs since WM 6.
However, none of WM6 or WM6.1 ROMs worked with external Bluetooth modems, expect this (04) one.
To me the WiFi-once tradeoff is nothing comparing to impossibility to connect to Bluetooth modems from BA/WM6.
Thanks PDAViet for making it working.
Can somebody give anther link?
goog working
i try it its working good.... after install image install netcf 3.5 and the vista cube ....
Is anyone else experiencing a problem with bluetooth? I am using a bt-gps and destinator software. Every time I get in the car and launch destinator the system asks me if I want to add my gps to the device. I say yes, and then I have to map the com port then I can re-launch destinator. I can find no pattern , it just drops it from the bt settings after a period of time of not being connected to it (hours). I have not connected any other bluetooth devices so I don't know if it is only the gps or everything. If I need to reflash/clear hive/storage I have no problem, I just don't know if it is me or everyone.
I have TomTom 6.030 and Nokia LDW-3. Everything works just fine.
I am NOT using GPS port redirector and connect directly to GPS serial port (configured as COM6).

Just an update. The system is working fine now. I don't know if it was a issue with the registry saving or not, but no issues now.

Just tried a few latest windows 6.1 roms and found out that my bluetooth headset (I tried a few) is not asking for passcode anymore (it used to ask to enter "0000"). On one hand - it's a cool feature saving you time and efforts to pair your devices. On the other hand- it's quite dangerous. Just imagine somebody near you (while you're having lunch) is playing with bluetooth on the laptop and connects to your phone without you knowing it. Potentially, he can download all your info from the phone. No good!
I was thinking that it maybe something wrong with my bluetooth or the ROM on the phone. But after I did a quick search here, it appears that Windows 6.1 has this neat feature of "automatic cycling of the standard passcodes" during pairing process. Is there any fix to this security breach? Or maybe I'm not getting it quite right?
well i still havent paired my headset with my pdacorner v23 NonRBSN rom but if you go to comm manager, hit settings, the click on bluetooth. On the tab Security there should be a box that says authentication passkey required. i dont know if thats bluetooth or infrared....but im sure its bluetooth.
Hope that works.
With all the wm 6.1's I've used it appears to only work with BT headsets... GPS and other BT devices need a key....
Cheers...
If that's so - it's good. I'll experiment with bluetooth dongle on my PC.
I'm starting to struggle with my T-HD, I seem to have more fixing & patching applications on it than the nice day to day stuff you would want or expect on a high end device competing against the iPhone...
My current source of annoyance is that the bluetooth connection between the T-HD and my Landrover Freelander 2 that has been working fine for 6-months now either (a) doesn't connect or (b) does connect but when I dial out through the MMI saying "dialing" but then drops out or (c) we make a sucessful call but at the end the MMI states "phone disconnected" and when it reconnects it re-sync's the phonebook which all takes time...
Based on advice from the forum i've...
deleted and recreated the "pairing" ensuring everthing is visible,
used HD Tweak and Advance Config tools to fine tune the BT settings,
tried different BT COD values,
removed PhoneEX
installed JETware Mobile
All to no avail, the phone connection still drops.
My Nokia 6300 works fine by comparision and I can't fathom why, after 6-months of operation, this fault develops.
I've searched high and low for BT fixes, W6.1 drivers and HTC hotfixes but the options seem to be more "fixing applications" or a custom ROM nieth of which I'm keen to undertake as my T-HD is fill up with applications to fix basic functionality that should work.
Anyone else have any ideas? Can the BT drivers be replaced or updated?
HELP...
ROM ver 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
ROM date 12/09/08
Radio ver 1.09.25.14
BT ver 2.0/2.0+EDR
I got the same problem with my BT car Kit (Motorola T605).
I've only made it work if I connect the streaming on the BT configuration, but it have other problems as all the PDA sounds are routed through the car stereo, which can be uncomfortable if you are listening to the radio or a cd.
Could it be that problem is related to a 'power saving' configuration?
Hi there...
There seem to be plenty of fellow sufferers, strange that HTC don't seem to recognise their BT is flakey.
Sorry, what do you mean by "streaming"? I haven't seen that config.
and I have the "Power - Advanced" settings deselected (ie do nothing if inactive on mains power or battery)
All the best...
Well my HD won't sync it's phonebook with the Freelander 2... very occasionaly accepts an outgoing call via the mmi.
It will randomly lose connection also, requiring it to be re-synced.
Are you using the official ROM on your device? The bluetooth stack in the old official ROM is outdated, and honestly, garbage. Have you tried using a newer ROM, whether it's the official 1.56 ROM or a custom ROM? I used to have a ton of Bluetooth issues with my device and my car as well until I moved away from the official ROMs.
Hi to all.
Do someone have problems with the activation of the bluetooth feature on this pda?
For example when I try to enable it on comm manager, my hd2 simply freeze, and the only solution is to reset the equipment. What is strange is that when it comes back the bluetooth is on.
I don't have tomtom installed, the rom is 1.48 wwe htc and I have this problem with 1.43 rom also.
Please can someone help me with this subject.
Best regards,
Someone ??
same thing happen to me
and i have another problem
i cant send files via bluetooth using resco explorer ??
but by using the normal file exlporer no problem
anyone have the same problem ?
im using miri 1.2 rom
Up Up .. Someone with similar problems ...
Hi,
I had a similar problem with my HD2.
Activate BT took a very long time and failed with an error message, I can't remember it but it says that it wasn't able to activate BT.
I did a HARD reset and everything went ok !
same problem here. I use bluetooth for the carkit in my car. But since bluetooth is a huge battery drain, i turn off bluetooth the moment i get out of my car again. And turn it on when i get into my car. All via the comm manager. Here on miri 2.0 based on the 1.61 rom the problem is also present. The only way to fix the bluetooth freeze/malfunction is to softreset the device. At startup of the device bluetooth is indeed turned on....
Me too having the same problem
It got struck when I've tried sending files to my friend's phone via Bluetooth. I restarted my phone to get it up (luckily it got up with Bluetooth on)
today the bluetooth freezed when im trying to turn it on via comm manager
softreset solve it
im using miri 1.2 rom
in this time the sms get stuck in outbox...
its the same problem.
try pinch2zoom in fileexplorer....it doesnt work, and alarm doesnt ring too...
me too
I have the same problem and still do :-(
My HD2 freezes when I connect to my PC through comm manager/ActiveSync. The only solution is soft-reset!!
I have latest ROM 1.66.403.1 DAN
I can't figure out why and how to fix it... anyone?
Active Syn BT Freeze
I have the same Active Sync / BT freeze problem. I use Miri V.22 6.5.x. Believe having this problem since V 17.x. I don't remember having this when I first flashed ROMs in March.
Any update on the issue?
Thanks
Possible solution
This seems to have solved my problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7025327&postcount=23
I could not delete/rename BtCoreIf, but just deleting BtSdkCE30.dll and making BTTrayCE.exe as a shortcut in startup is working so far. Two long syncs with no freezes.
I hope this helps others.
It froze after an hour connected. Better but not great.
Finally managed to delete BtCoreIf.dll. Trying the next few days to see if it solves the BT problem.
fixed
I found out that my BT was freezing because of third party application which I have installed in my phone. I uninstall it and never froze since
Fixed as well
Thanks. Yes, this seems to be the case here as well. I managed to follow the instructions I provided above, deleting the two files TomTom had changed, and now I'm back to having my BT Active Sync working well again.
