Hi
I want to know whether it is possible to detect the signal of bluetooth devices after you have paired the devices with your own. Generally it is possible to detect the signal's value before the pairing (as suggested in other forums).
Do let me know if anyone has done it successfully.
Thanks

Trying to use the XDA2 (and the E200) as a BT modem from the laptop dialling *99# but get fairly frequent link loss errors (or no response at all). Sometimes it does work, however.
Is this another area where the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth stack wins hands down??
I'm pleased you're having some success. I've had none at all.
Could you post your settings etc.?
Thanks.
I dont think the MS BT stack is capable of support a modem.
afaik it 'only' support headset profile and serial port profile (latter as from rom 1.72).
If you want more, maybe the widcomm stack is a solution, but it causes some setbacks too (see the appropiate threads)
I'd be happy to get it to work with USB. Can it? With Orange?
Hi,
I've recently found my Qstarz BT-880 bluetooth GPS receiver and would like to use it with my Vario 2. I have managed to achieve this in the past but for some reason cant get the phone to stay paired with the device.
If I setup a partnership, the GPS receiver connects as soon as I hit ok and then about 10 seconds later it disconnects; I cant then get it to connect again short of deleting the partnership and starting again.
I also cant remember how you just search for bluetooth devices which you can connect to (other than creating a partnership), is this possible?
Anyone seen behaviour like this before/have any tips they can offer as I'm at a loss?
Thanks.
Hi folks,
I upgraded my Hermes with Schap's Windows Mobile 6 ROM. Works fine so far. But when I try to use my Bluetooth GPS it acts strange.
I paired the Bluetooth device and set up a COM-port for the applications. The first time it works. The next time, when I switch on Bluetooth and start for example TomTom, the Hermes tells me there is a new Bluetooth device that wants to connect. I checked and found out the GPS is still in the list of known Bluetooth devices and the COM-port is set. But the assistant is still bugging until I add the "new" device. After that of course my "old" device is gone.
How can I avoid this? Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have the same issue, really annoying so would love to know the answer

On your Hermes:
Have you tried to checked off: "Make this device visible to other devices"?
Under: Start\Settings\Connections\Bluetooth\Mode (2nd tab on the bottom)
Option #1 (Hermes)
~If, "Make this device visible to other devices is not enabled, delete the pairing for your GPS.
~Check off "Make this device visible to other devices"
~Pair your GPS again (ensure that "Make this device visible to other devices" is still enabled)
Option #2 (GPS)
Don't know what kind of settings for bluetooth you may have on your GPS. I found for my car stereo, that I needed to leave it, in the "waiting/open for connection mode.
Now when I turn the car on it automatically connects the phone and stereo off my Hermes.
What I'm basically saying here is there may be a setting to leave your GPS automatically open for bluetooth connections?
I think option #1 may do the trick....
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If your concerned about Security you can always change the Pairing codes.
and or turn off bluetooth when not needed.
I'm unaware of any cases where one can connect unless there paired, so in most cases access needs to be allowed on both ends, usually needing pairing codes. Even if it is one way, an approval code will still be needed.
What I found is this, if you want automatic connecting with one way pairing codes i.e. (Car Stereo to PDA or GPS to PDA) You'll need to allow "make device visible" checked off. The usual cause is a memory storing issue with the GPS or Car Stereo. I know that on high end Stereo's and GPS's they have on board memory which will save connection settings, where you'd put pairing codes on both ends and it will save the settings, thus negating the need to leave visible.
Don't know if I answered your question?
Hope I was able to shed some light on the subject....
Good Luck!
Hi all,
I am unable to pair my XV6800 to my Pioneer DEH-P980BT car stereo. The phone detects the stereo and requests the PIN, but fails after I enter the PIN with a 'Cannot Connect, connection failed or pin is wrong' error. I have used this stereo with my xv6600 Blue Angel for over a year (Can you say Widcomm stack?).
Anyway, I have been unable to come up with fruitful answers or even a next good step by searching the forums or general internet searching. I am wondering if there is some kind of Bluetooth tool that would allow me to determine what actual error is occurring?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the exact same problem with the same head unit. Here's what I did to correct it:
Code:
The vario II identifies itself as a PDA bluetooth device. The pioneer modules are searching
for a phone or smartphone, so it just ignores the Vario II.
Solutions:
Change the COD (Class of Device) from a PDA device to a smartphone device.
This can be done this way:
1. First make sure you've got a backup, or remember all settings you change in the registry.
2. Edit with a registry editor the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS\COD
By default my vario II does have the value: 1048852 (decimal)
Change this to: 5374476 (decimal).
3. Soft restart your device
4. Voila! Your device now identifies itself as a smartphone, and my pioneer unit finds it without problems.
That SHOULD work for you. Please let me know if does, because when I do it, the stereo finds the handset fine, but I can't hear any conversation coming out the speakers. It's like it is on permanent mute. This also happens with my BT headset - all controls work, but I can't hear anything nor can people hear me. Plus, my Mogul's speaker cracks and pops when I try using it with another BT device. I think it may be a bad unit. I want to know if you have better luck with the Mogul and 980BT.
I am using the newest ROM (2.17) and radio. The same thing happens to me with the older 2.09 ROM also.

Eureka!
It worked! I had tried this COD change before and had tried initiating pairing from the stereo, but had not tried both at the same time. I am able to connect the phone and bluetooth stereo simultaneously, and both are working with excellent sound quality. That's leap and bounds from where I was yesterday. Thank you very much!
Regarding your problems, I am not experiencing them at all. I can hear both sides of a conversation as can the other side. As it stands I think I will have to manually pair every time I get in the car (a pain, but I will work on it).
I am not sure what differences exists between the Hermes and Titan, but I would be happy to investigate for you wherever I can. My ROM is version 2.09 and my radio is version 1.30.
Thanks again. Feel free to post or PM me if I can help you figure your issues out.
Thanks for the offer to help. I think my first step is going to Sprint and showing them that BT is crap on my Mogul and see if they'll swap it for me. I'm also going to try pairing my headset there on the demo and see if it works. If it does, my unit it broken. I'll let ya know what happens.

My child uses a Diabetes Device (Dexcom G7 CGM) that connects to my phone via bluetooth.
If I'm out of range (6 meters) it disconnects and I can't get any info or alerts. It also can only connect to the one device that it's paired with and cannot be repaired to another device.
I'm aware that with Wifi we can have multiple "repeaters" that allow us to connect to one SSID but switch between the closest router.
Is there something that I can keep close to her that will identify as my phones bluetooth and repeat that bluetooth signal more than 6 meters but if I'm out of the house with her and only have my phone with me it should still be able to connect to my phone and not always have to connect to the device?
A normal range extender would not work because it wouldn't identify as my device.
Any help is appreciated.
One solution could be to use a Bluetooth range extender or repeater. These devices can receive Bluetooth signals and then rebroadcast them at a higher power, effectively extending the range of the signal. There are several Bluetooth range extenders available on the market that may work for your situation.
One option is the "Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter" by Avantree, which is designed specifically to extend the range of Bluetooth devices like your Dexcom G7 CGM. Another option is the "Bluetooth Extender" by Cricut, which can extend the range of Bluetooth signals up to 100 meters.
Another possible solution is to use a Raspberry Pi or similar device as a Bluetooth repeater. This would require some technical expertise, but there are tutorials available online that can guide you through the process. Essentially, you would use the Raspberry Pi to receive the Bluetooth signal from your Dexcom device and then rebroadcast it at a higher power.
Keep in mind that while these solutions may work to extend the range of your Bluetooth signal, they may also introduce some latency or delay in the data transmission. It's important to test any new devices thoroughly to ensure that they are working reliably and providing accurate data.

Thanks but I believe that the range extender would appear to the device with it's own ID, this would mean that the device would not pair with it because it needs to also have the app. Also I need to be able to leave the house with just my cellphone and no repeater.
That's why I need a device that will appear to the dexcom as my phone and relay the data to my phone further away. Exactly the way it's done with a Wifi repeater that has the same SSID and the main router.
