Check out this link from PocketPCThoughts.com for a new Bluetooth patch from Broadcom for the PDA2K...
Fellow MVP Helio Diamant, of Pocket PC Freak, has gotten a fantastic little nugget for iMate PDA2k owners:
Quote:
A friend of mine has just come back from CES and brought with him a little CAB file that was being given by the guys from Broadcom there. They told him we can publish and offer for download, so I am putting it here to you guys too.
When installed, this CAB adds the following profiles to the Broadcom BT stack in the PDA2K:
1. High-Quality Audio
2. Keyboard
This means that those of you holding stereo headsets can now connect them to PDA2k and here music, navigation instructions, etc from the device. As well, Bluetooth Keyboards are supposed to work well.
Early reports suggest it works with a number of devices, including both HTC Blue Angel and HTC Harrier units; it might work with other Broadcom-based (i.e., Widcomm) Bluetooth units, but there's no guarantee. If you're interested in playing "with it, you can download the CAB here. Note: This update is unofficial and unsupported; install it at your own risk, and do a backup first! As far as I know, it's a RAM update, but I haven't tried it. Good luck if you do. "

Noviur,
On which device did you try ? i-Mate PDA2k?
cheers,
bins
install seems not to work
Just tried the cab install (both from my SD card and Program Files location - after resets), but nothing seems to have changed on my i-Mate PDA2k with Rom 1.22.162 WWE.
1. No BT Services were added (still only File Transfer, InformationExchange, Serial Port, Personal Network Server, Dial-up BNetworking Server, Hands-Free),
2. No update seems to have happened, all module versions remained at 1.0.0.3500 (except obviously the BTPluginManagerCE.exe [1.0.0.1]),
3. Despite the dialog box telling it is "writing information for Remove Programs" it can not be found back in the Remove Programs.
Any clues?
cheers,
bins
P.S. Just in case, and like Noviur, reverted with Sprite Backup
The version information in the package suggests 1.6.0.0600
did you install the 1.6.0.0600 upgrade before u installed this?
i installed it.. the new 2 profiles show up but the audio one doesnt work ..
i have pda2k
any help???
I installed the new patch on an SX-66. It doesn't upgrade the Bluetooth stack or provide new services. But it does add 2 new profiles. One for a Stereo audio headset (this won't work with a Hands free device since the profile doesn't include support for a MIC.) and one for a keyboard.
I also switched my Bluetooth stack to the 1.6 version posted here. This seems to be a stack based on Widcom as opposed to Microsoft. Although my device worked and seemed to pair faster my Handsfree device didn't come on when dialing the phone. So I switched back.
Remco, thx, installed the Broadcom 1.6.0.600 cab-file first and afterwards installed the PDA2k cab-file.
Update seems to have worked and indeed have the two new client profiles.
Will check in the store tomorrow if the HQ audio works indeed and if no other nuisances arise.
Will keep you in the loop.
cheers,
bins
Installed it on my Qtek9090 with rom 1.22.00/1.06.00/1337.38/1.22.556
I was able to bond my Logitech DiNovo keyboard to the PDA and use it !
It works very well, very cool to be able to type on a full size keyboard on your PDA.
I don't own a BT audio headset, so i wasn't able to test that.
All other devices like my GPS mouse, Bluetrek G2 headset etc. seem to work ok as they did before.
nop, it was I-Mate PPC. I new it is for PDA2K, but wanted to try it
Previously I installed Widcom BT 1.6.
No luck for me ... for now at least
Did it answer calls through the b/t headset? Mine wouldn't connect to the headset for outgoing or incoming calls. Also if it does work,which PDA2K cab did you use?
Thanks

Here's the file
I tried it on my HTC Himalaya. It wouldn't play any sound, not even callers voice. I had to hard reset the unit.
Good luck

Hi,
I just got my HP bluetooth headphones... and I absolutely love them!!!. The range is ok... not great, but enough to be considered fully usable. It crackles if there is some physical resistance between the MDAIII and the headphones, but other than that, they are awesome...
Anyone that is considering to get them, I highly recommend it. But be sure to have a 3500 bluetooth stack (with the extensions posted here of course) and Radio 1.06.02 (I am not sure whether 00 would do equally, but I recommend 02).
Treo
Me too. Can someone email me a copy of this file?
[email protected]
Thanks!
I was sure that with Bluetooth you could use two devices simultaneously. I mean for a sample, GPS receiver and handsfree kit. Is that possible? Is it just a problem of the BT stack or it's related to BlueAngel hardware?
Or perhaps it's just that BT protocol does not allow it? Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance.
BT 2 Devices. Autoanswer.
OK, I found it myself. At least with Widcomm stack, it can be done. MS stack didn't let me do it before. I'll try again. Has anybody tried it before?
2 BT devices
Yes, I have a BT car kit and a BT GPS - both work fine together with my BA (and my Wizard)

Are you using WM5? Can you browse your contacts from your car kit? If so, which rom are you using? I'm getting mad about this...
Thank you very much in advance.
u certainly should be able to use several BT devices wuth on (pocket) PC.
now whether this'll work with Blueangel/Windoze Mobile is another question.
I just noticed that everytime Im transfering file to another PPC device thru BT I always have an error. With this I end up using IR.
I dont think that there is a problem with the BT because it works with other device like with my Nokia 6600.
Is it with the w2003SE? Or is it something else?
I never have a problem with tranferring files. have you check the Status of your connection, make sure that you got good signal connection.
connection is good
I'm sure connection is good since were just close.
I think it is the model because I have ask one of my frien with XDAIIs too and we have the same problem, we can't send file thru BT to another PDA.
Another PDA - model?
Don't forget to check "Receive all incoming beams" on that PDA, if it running Microsoft BT stack.
i have the smae problem, but just with windows mobile smartphones, whith nokia or anything else i don't have any problem.
i have the some problem
i try nokia 6600 and hp 5450 and have problem
but with sonyericssonn T610 and imate SP3 it working
what's different?
Hi!
I've allready tried some ROMs on my BA (xplode wm6.1 and so on), but i have problems with bluetooth. I can't get my BA working with tomtom 6 and my Nokia LD-3W gps mouse. I also have problems sending stuff through bluetooth (for example contacts from my mobile phone). On wm2003 everything works fine. But I don't want the wm2003.
please help me!
try updating your bt stack to latest version. should be able to find it in the ba wiki
I've got the latest BT stack allready...
I had a similar problem with my Haicom BT GPS mouse when set up according to the instructions in the wiki.
Removing the "secure connection" to the mouse my problems with GPS went away.
As I normally don't use BT for anything else I can't comment on other bt problems.
When you install xplode rom install his all fixes cab files it will fix BT wifi contacts and beam
The xplode ROM is the one I love
(failing that I drop back to the o2 distribution 2003 ROM.
hey guys, I'm running the ultimate-X2 rom pack from here and I can't seem to get the configuration of my blue tooth working with my EEE. I've tried BT DUN and it keeps reporting back that the modem is out of order, any ideas?
Do you have active sync on the computer? I don't remember if it needs it or not for BT.
yea AS is on there and everything works as it shoudl through a usb cable, just can't get DUN to work or PAN
Are you using WM5 or WM6.1? I know that with 6.1 you need to use the Internet Sharing app.
Also, which Bluetooth stack are you using? I got it to work on a Toshiba BT stack, but once I figured out how to AS over BT, it stopped the net sharing from working. I think you can only have one pair at a time. I'm not sure though. I'd also like to know how to get both working without interfering with one another.
WM 6.5 and i'm using the built in bluetooth adapter on my EEE, no idea what stack its using
I got it, didn't have my pair set up right and PAN was the proper way to do it and use IS on WM. the modem trick was a no-go and worthless IMO
Good. Glad to hear you got it working. I got my internet sharing to work once, but once I set it up to ActiveSync over Bluetooth it stopped working. I guess when it's paired once it won't let it be paired again. Anyone have any support for this? I'm using a Toshiba Bluetooth stack (sadly... thinking of switching to MS stack) and a Tilt ROM.
