Hi all,
I have been playing with this ROM since November 2011. currently teamhacksung on 6.0/6.1 (fascinate rom)
I have read and read and never had a need to post until now.
I have done both my fascinate and my GF fascinate. the problem is that we have a 2010 KIA forte and the Bluetooth will only pair one of our phone when we try to pair the other it overwrites the first phone.
this worked fine until i put it on both phones.
After further investigation I found out that the Bluetooth Mac address on both of our phones are the same. 43:29:b1:55:00:00
Is this address hard coded in this ROM and is there any thing we can do to change it. I can't believe that I am the first to discover this.
I have had several person tell me that the mac address is the same on all roms.
Main question How do I permanently change the mac address of the bluetooth on my phone?

Has anyone used an XDA2 with Mac OS X.3 (Panther)?
I use a Powerbook laptop and want to sync with my XDA2 without troubling the PC that I bought for the kids (with some chagrin, it must be said!)
There is a program called PocketMac that has received some good reviews - which will, apparently, allow the XDA2 (any Pocket PC) to sync with Mac (iCal, Address Book etc.), which, in turn, sync with my iDisk. Serious back up here (laptop stolen three years ago.
Anyway, my XDA2 arrives tomorrow and I wanted to know if there are any Mac Users who have some experience and, hopefully, some tips for me.
I bought an XDA2 by the way, because they look good and the functionality is clearly better than previous Palm/Symbian devices. The great reviews I have seen posted on various internet sites seem to suggest I made the right choice.
Thanks in anticipation of assistance from users' experience.
pocketmac 3.3 works perfectly - xda2 (i was using myssingsync before but it was not working fine as pocketmac is doing now)
if you need help your welcome

PocketMac 3.3 works fine for me too (PowerBook G4 w/Panther). You can't install Pocket PC software via Mac -- you'll have to "rent" a Windows PC for that, unless you have the CAB files. Some say that Virtual PC would take you around this problem, I'm still working on it... Will let you know.
Also wanted to try MissingSync - the one Apple suggests - but no luck there!
Happy MacKing, and let me/us know your experience!
New experience of Mac and XDA2
I am impressed - syncs faultlessly.
Installed the Mac look provided by Pocketmac as part of the PM 3.3 software bundle.
However, does anyone know how to edit the skins in the XDA as installing an Apple logo appeals?
Apple Skins
sorry - found it in the Pocketmac bundle - it just needed turning on in the XDA2.
guys, where to find trial version of PockeMac or Missing Sync?
I am new in MAC world and seems no trial versions here
How i would know which one is working for me???
Please help!!!

Thank you Rudegar,
I actually using google very much... but kind of "slowed" about it type demo in it
PocketMac vs. Missing sync
Both programs have their quirks, but since I have a combination of chinese/english names in my address book, missing sync it is. I tried pocket mac and it hoses up unicode quite badly.
PocketMac XDA2 powerbook
I don't believe you. It doesn't work AT ALL. garbled text all over iCal, phone numbers in crap order, no iCal events getting to XDA. No Bluetooth sync...Thanks for your recommendation but PocketMac sucks. I really want to know how to make this work
I just threw away the copy of Pocketmac I had bought and went and got Missing Sync. MUCH better. Been using it over a year now. (as you can see from the post dates)
PBG4+PocketMac+MDAII=0
I cannot even get pocketmacpro demo to "see" my MDA even though its paired as a BT device with my PBG4.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
eeeh
I'm talking with PocketMac support.
I want to buy Pocketmac Pro 3, but I cannot pay by credit card from
Poland. What should I do?
I used the Mark/Space Missing Sync for Pocket PC application
for synchronising. I bought it via Internet and I am very happy with it.
Simple and clear
I have big problem with internet :?
I often use PowerBook out of work in places where I do not have
access to Internet.
Before I had the Nokia 6310i mobile phone and via this telephone
I could connect to Internet (wireless connection
in every place within GSM network range). Gprs Nokia modem operated
without any problems, and I could connect with the computer
via bluetooth without any problem. I activatedon the phone I could
establish connection.
Unfortunately, Qtek 2020 is a more complex appliance, but has no
such option. In Pocket PC I have Internet (GPRS connect), but not
in the computer
I asked how to solve this problem on numerous forums: Apple and
xda-developers-Forum. Nobody could give me a satisfactory answer.
Please Help Masters
I own 2 Magician devices (A and B), both Bluesoleil stack installed and working. Problems arise when i try to connect the two devices directly via pan. On Device A i initiate the PAN connection via "Bluetooth Manager->Device B->Scanning Services->PAN". Now Device A shows (status) an PANGN connection outgoing and B has an PANGN connection incoming. Device A starts IE and a getting IP dialog right after connection initiation.
So far so good. But both devices are on completely different subnets. While Dev. A is on sth. like 169.254.182.118, B's IP is completely different. Now if i try to fire up a game of snails for testing on A, i see the game open on B but joining leads to system hang. (Tried Warfare Inc., same results.)
As i am pretty new to this topic, maybe so. can tell me what went wrong... is it even possible to build up a PAN that way?!
Best Regards,
Regi[/b]
Very intresting.
I played Snails between Magician and Windows XP PC and all was good.
Try to join from device B to Device A, or try to disable DHCP service and setup IP manually...
thx for your reply. your answer triggered sth in my ol'rusty brain ... There ARE options to change ip/mask/gw etc. but they aren't to be found under bluesoleil settings
lol
thx again,
regi
I just noticed something weird: both of my Magicians have the same hw-address: 00:02:5B:00:A5:A5... that's why my PAN network (using Bluez stack and Debian) always keeps disconnecting one of the devices. it thinks it's the same device. any way to change this address?

i think that is also the reason why i am not able to play games ....
Maybe this address is hardwired in the BT stack. Chances are you find this string in the .CAB used for installation. If so: you can change it to your liking.
We have the same problem here, also opened a new topic about this.
A friend and I have a Magician, and like yours the same bluetooth adress
(00:02:5B:00:A5:A5)
The weird part is that when we just both installed bluesoleil, we were able to play warfare over the PAN.
But 2 days later, it stops working??? As you said, every time one tries to connect, it hangs. Have to reset every time.....
I tried to change the adress in the register, but no luck so far It changes back by itselves?
Does anybody know a solution? And can someone confirm that the problem is caused by the same device name?
thnx
Hi Members,
I have just joined the site and this is my first post to try and find a solution to the most annoying frustrating problem im having. I am trying to connect a o2 XDA Mini to my laptop via bluetooth over a belkin dongle. My system only shows com port 4 then 9 12 etc. I have tried using 4 many times. Both the phone and the pc partner ok, but then when i try to sync from the handset the PDA try's to partnet again and will not connect. I have tried other ports, no good! same result. I then searched google extensivly and tried installing other stacks Widcomm, blue soleil etc as i aslo have cards and dongles for those, still no joy. Is the phone broken? Well my wife has the same make and model. Her one wouldnt connect either!! whats the problem with this phone/PDA. Do you have to be a rocket scientist to use BT or what. I visited other sites and forums and posed the question there. Apart from one reply it appears no one seems to know either way. Any help or guides other than the outdates geekzone(2004) would be most appreciated as i think those guides were not created for WM5 systems lol
Thank you and fingers crossed lol

I've always had problems syncing over bluetooth.
I dont have a WM2005 device, but my XDA mini exhibits the same problems.
I did get my xda to sync through bluetooth on my windows computer, but that was using bluesoeil. Strange thing was, after i switched stacks to the normal windows one, when i successfully sync'ed through bluesoeil, it WORKED!!
A hard reset has happened since then and im plagued with problems.
If you use a mac and a PC like me, i found it very easy to sync my xda mini through bluetooth with a mac. (provided you have buy the software).
If you search even harder through google, theres a page i came across which shows you, through windows cmd line, delete ports and free some up. Havent tried it tho.
Anyways goodluck, try hard resetting and starting fresh if you wanna sync wirelessly that bad.
Try this
Try this , it may work for you. Also I found that XP SP2 is needed if you wnt to sync via BT

works perfectly for me using different versions of vidcomm on the belkin and logitech dongles i have on various computers
on the pda i just choose the IMSync or whatever it's called as profile
and start activesync on the pda click on sync over bluetooth and it does
Heres something i found...

thats how to delete ghost ports from your system.
I got everything NEARLY set up, i cant set a outgoing port!.
I even hard reseted, still no luck, i think i just need to set a outgoing port to get this to work.
whitemoo.
ok...after restoring my backup from the hard reset, i rebooted the phone.
Then i got side tracked and went on the XDA-developers wiki.
Seeing that 'set up your own bluetooth personal network' article, i decided to set it up.
Figuring out that the original bluetooth stack is worthless, i switched to bluesoeil and rebooted.
Bluesoeil did not work for some reason, and couldnt find my bluetooth hardware, so rebooted the phone with the normal stack.
I went into the normal stack that came with my phone, and mysteriously, i could set outgoing ports!
I set the port my outgoing port to comm0 and tried to sync.
AND IT WORKED!!...its finally syncing!
Oh btw, i found this file in my ext rom: called 'default_BT_com_port0.cab' i installed it and it allowed me to set comm0 in the normal staCK. Previously before i installed that cab, i couldnt see ANY avalible com ports to set.
YAY!...whitemoo.
Hi
Thanks for the advise there it was appreciated. I have tried the different bluetooth devices two doggles and a card all with widcomm and microsoft drivers all have not worked blue soleil wouldnt find a serial port on my phone only dUN and Push obex. I have spent ages on this now i figured it just a worhless wm5 smartphone with a keboard.. oh MS if your listening re XDA Mini factor it in to the guidebook how to sync to an everyday computer to bluetooth. You provide the function but it dont work.. crapper ive had it with this overated smartphone with a slide out keyboard. worse thing is how much i paid for it. what a rip off!! I could get an old C500 WM2003 to BT sync on all three of these BT dongle/card.
Oh well thx.. Guys glad you got a result with yours bravo' lol
Many thanks for the input.

Hi again,
I have tried to contact o2 re this matter they tell me it cant be done via activesync and bluetooth. Has any one else managed to sync an XDA min via activesync to there computer. I am running xp pro SP2, Activesync Ver. 4.1 of the cover disc with the phone. I downloaded 4.2 and 4.5Beta to make sure none work. Google searches reveal nothin g on the subject. The model i appear to have is the WIZA200 version with WM5 rom version 5.1.195 (build 14847.2.0.0).
Any clues folks
thanks.

Can anyone help me please with this problem?
Thanks.
Does anyone know why all NAND builds here don't pick up the ACTUAL bluetooth address from the hardware? I installed the same build for me and my wife and both have the same bluetooth address. This prevents us from connect to the car since both have the same address, no matter what phone name I have.
Please help
Hello,
anyone knows how to make the HTC Blackstone "look like" another telephone (in my case, a Motorola V3) when seen by Bluetooth devices?
I have a Mercedes Comand UHI telephone cradle with SAP for Motorola V3, that works even without physical connection to the telephone by Bluetooth pairing, but obviously when you attempt to pair it with another telephone it prevents you from doing this.
Is it possible to "copy" the Bluetooth device name of a V3 to the Blackstone?
Actually, I'm not very glad to give 280 extra euros to Mercedes for a more compliant BT cradle
Thanks!
the question is, how does the car know, what phone is trying to pair?
is it locked to 1 motorola v3, then it is probably the mac address.
you could try and simply try another bluetooth device name, but i doubt it would be that simple (since, on the one hand, everybody knows how to do that with any phone and on the other hand, changing a v3's name would stop it from being compatible).
and changing the actual bluetooth pairing id to make it appear as another phone type is (if possible) not only very hard to do, but also probably an fcc violation.
so instead, you should have a look, whether you can do something about the car part of this issue, probably, there are other people out there with a similar issue, that have any incompatible phone, probably more than there are in the blackstone section here.
The car knows what telephone you are trying to pair with probably by somehow reading from bluetooth the "model name" that you can read in "device information>identity" (I'm sorry if they aren't correct, I have the Italian software so I don't really knows how that menus are translated).
The MAC address is not important, you can pair any number of phones as long as they are V3!
