Imate Rom BT Stack version

I am struggling to use my SonyEricsson HBH 35 Headset with my Tmobile MDAIII. But after a while the BT Stack stops working and I have to turn BT on and off to be able to use the headset again. Tmobile Service Line told me that they are aware of the problem and they will post a fix for that but no time frame was giving. Therefore I was wondering whether the latest Imate PDA2k Rom was having the same BT problems. Which version of BT stack is on this rom? Is it possible to copy the necessary files onto the MDA III and make it work with the never version?

PDA2K has the same issues with the BT Stack. In fcat it is just awful.

Hell, its worse than 'just awful'....
...The Bluetooth on the PDA2K is just downright unusable.....
...I am still holding my breath, praying to GOD they get a real fix out and not just a 'here ya go' patch with more problems in it......

BT version... MDA III new ROM
I would like to know which version of the BT you guys have = which is most current for MDA III. To verify this go to settings/connection/bluetooth an check in About .
I have heard some news that ROM 1.20 is being tested internally, and somebody promised me to provide it to me. I am really waiting.. as current one keeps turning on device every minute...

have a hcb-30 bluetooth carkit that worked great with my Qtek 2020, but i cannot seem to get it to work with my qtek 9090....it finds the qtek allright and pairs with it, but cannot connect....my bluetooth version is 1.0.0 build 2200...
hope they get a fix out soon...

You may tried that DON'T PAIR the HBH35, Afterwards, use a Bluetooth connection wizard to add it. This may be OK to add HBH35.

I don't know how those incompetent idiots could release the blueangel with such a obvious bluetooth problem, HOW CAN THEY NOT see it! the error messeges pops up so frequently.

Go for it, version 1.5

I couldnt get 1.5 to work on my pda2k, cant overwrite certain files... how did you do it?

I didn't do it as i don't have a BT headset yet. because of these treads I'm waiting before i get the headset, gps, and keyboard for bluetooth

I didn't do it as i don't have a BT headset yet. because of these treads I'm waiting before i get the headset, gps, and keyboard for bluetooth

you don't have it yet and you are telling other people to go for it! i dont think it works for the pda2k

Did you read or post first?????????????????
As you can see Guest and firebird say it worked to some degree for them on the PDA2K (MDAIII). Since I didn't have a BT headset to try myself I thought I would help you by pointing you to someone who had.
Read posts before blasting back.

Subject: BlueTooth manually updated on PDA2k to 1.5.081
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11729&highlight=widcomm
Since I didn't see in any thread about someone updating their PDA2k to the latest widcomm drivers... Just an FYI, I copied the files from the other thread onto my PDA2k. Seems to be working. Will test further to see if I'm still getting memory issues like before.
NOTE - I used Resco to copy the files over. There were several warnings that I was updating a file in ROM.. but I went ahead and did that anyway...figured I could hard reset the device if need be.

just a warning, the ROM files he was talking about overwriting, cannot be restored by doing a hard reset, it is permanent. if it messes up you will have to re-flash your pda with a new copy of the OS. that's what i had to do since i couldnt get it to work

Unofficial Bluetooth Stack "Upgrade" For iMate PDA

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. "

i already installed on my i-mate and had to do hard reset since it hanged in boot mode.

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

and that there is of the option of the BT dial up modem??
for when they will troubleshoot this.
greetings

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?

O2 XDA IIi Bluetooth with Bluetooth Car Kit Issues.

Hi Guys,
Recent got an XDA IIi after being with the older XDA II for over 16 Months.
But I have recently run into problems with my BT Car kit :
Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit HFW-8000.
Basically the problem is that it does not always connect to the Car Kit and when it does it will only from time to time connect and let me have a handfree conversation.
I have also used the Broadcom Bluetooth Cab file here in order to extend what Bluetooth Profiles that can be used but seems not to have any great bearing to stablize the issue.
So I went down the Hard Reset Road but again still intermittent issues, I then upgraded the ROM to the New one on the O2 Website the v 1.11.169 ROM.
I also had similar issues with the XDA II but it was resolved by using the Pocket Bluetooth tools, which was great and never once after installing it did I have any issues with the Car Kit.
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/
One of my questions is, is there a similar programme to to above Pocket Bluetooth tools for the XDA IIi as I have tried it with the XDA IIi but does not work.
Or does anyone know how you would revert to have the XDA II radio or is there a work around for it.
Thanks Guys
Woody

Hi Woody_XDA,
I have had my XDA2i for a couple of months now and recently got a O2 blue headset for it, I had simular problems with the headset disconnecting and having to manually connect every time I switched it on. After browsing this wonderfull forum I decided to do a corperate install and get rid of the O2 active interface, since then no problems at all. I now use Pugs modified ROM version 162 with radio 1.04 and have no stability problems at all with no twice weekly reset. Hope this helps you and many thanks to Pug for his ROM.
Mace

Ditto, I also use the custom firmware with 1.04 radio and bluetooth works a charm. It still eats battery like nothing else, but it works with no problems. Also like the fact that the XDA can cope with my GPS receiver and my handsfree kit simultaneously, that's handy for in the car.

Cheers Guys for the information, took it on board and works great, did a great deal of stress testing in order to confirm it and works excellent..Thanks to PUG again and guys thanks for the info much appreciated and this is by far a great forum

Mace - you mention some bluetooth issues being resolved since you applied the custom ROM... I posted in the Alpine Applications forum here the other day a list of issues with bluetooth that I was wondering had been addressed - so far no reply - are these the symptoms that were cured for you??

Hi Bewlay Brother sorry, I missed your other post on Bluetooth issues, my original problem was that every time I switched on my BT headset , which is a O2 Blue, I had to open the BT manager and make the connection, the phone would then occasionally lose the connection and sometimes whilst still showing a connection refuse to transfer the call. This was using the official 162 ROM with the O2 active UI. I have since installed Pugs 162 ROM with radio1.04 and done a corporate install and BT seems to work perfectly, switch on the headset, it connects, never loses pairing and transfers calls.
Hope this helps you, and thanks again to Pug,
Mace.

Mace - what you describe sounds similar - my problems were essentially the loss of pairing with my Motorola headset a lot of the times when the XDAIIi switched off its display and went into stand-by mode, also if I closed the boom bike on the headset (to temporarily turn off the headset) it would fail to re-pair when I next opened the boom mike... the other issue was that I had to make sure the phone keyboard was displayed on the XDA once I had paired up otherwise the last number redial function on the headset would not work - if I pressed the dial button on headset and the phone display was not on the screen it would simply open the phone display function but fail to then dial the number - really crap. Also reception was poor to headset even over relatively short distances from the XDA. IF these areas in particular could be cured by the upgrade then I am eager to do it - I must admit I have read that this upgrade has not been without problems for some people here so it is going to be a tough call.

Just a thought, but have you done a personal or corporate install as I think the main fix with Pugs ROM was the upgrade to radio 1.04, which I don’t think affects the BT, so a corporate install with your existing ROM may make a difference.

Did a corporate install when it was new out of the box...

whats the difference between the corporate and personal install?

Corporate doesn't install ANY of the branded O2 interface - so no gubbins, nothing to slow down the phone, you just get a bog standard Windows Mobile 2003 SE installation, aside from the O2 GPRS and SMS settings. Bosh.

hi
i've been reading the posts and i have the same problem where can i get hold of pug's ROM if it's possible cos this seems to get rid of the problem

And then today, headset will not automatically connect, needing Bluetooth manager to be opened to make the connection. AARRRGH!

BT car kit problems
I have the 1.04 Radio, but it still won't sync with my 2003 BMW 325xi bluetooh or with my 2005 Acura MDX bluetooth.
Help!

Unstable Bluetooth Signal Strength - Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset
Hi, I just got a Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset. It would pair with my O2 XDAIIi but I cannot hear any voice in both incoming and outgoing calls. When I check the BT Manager, it shows a totally unstable BT strength that varies from very strong to very weak. The same headset worked well with other BT phones. My ROM version is 1.11.00 WWE, Radio version 1.04.00.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

parrot CK3100 and Himalaya

hello,
I would like to buy a Parrot CK3100 (BlueTooth car kit), but I wonder if it works perfectly with Himalay under WM2006. Is the directory correctly and automatically loaded on the Parrot ? Are all the functionnalities of the Parrot working with the Himalaya ?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
regards
Blg

You shouldn't be able to access your contacts through Parrot CK3100.
Sascha

Ok, thanks for your answer. Have you tried the XDA II on the CK3100, or is it just a bet ?
The reason why I a m asking this question is that on a GPS device (Garmin ZUMO), the directory is automatically and correctly loaded (as well as the last received numbers and last dialled numbers). So it seems that the XDA II is able to do it.
Is there someone owning the two devices (XDA II and CK3100) who could confirm the good or bad working ?
By the way, my ROM's version is 7.0c.40CS.
Thanks in advance.

I use CK3000 but I would be surprised if CK3100 could access XDA II contacts.
Sascha

I understand your surprise.
But I was surprised when all my XDA II contacts have been downloaded automatically and without being prompted on my Zumo device.
Seems the WM2006 allows this (at least on my XDA II ))
This is the reason why I am looking for someone owning both CK3100 and XDA II under WM6 !
Blg

Yes, it works!
I have a Qtek 2020 (aka Himalaya) and a Parrot CK3100 Black Edition and it works (almost) perfectly.
When you turn on the ignition the Parrot activates showing the Owner Information, the Network you’re connected (operator), the Signal Strength, the Battery Level and it synchronizes the Contacts, even the ones you have multiple numbers (ex.: Thomas w/; Thomas h/ as in Thomas (work) and Thomas (home)). It even gets the last Received, Dialed and Lost calls (not always). You see an ActiveSync alike symbol from times to times showing the synchronization.
Every time you turn off the ignition (electrical circuit) it clears all information and you´ll have to wait until it synchronizes again after you turn it on.
The only glitch it has is that sometimes (1 in 100), when they «meet», the PDA starts a call to nowhere and the only way to stop it is to reset the PDA (the pen tip in the hole).
Hope this info helps
Thomas
TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0
CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0)

Thanks Thomas, your advice as owner of both devices was the one I was looking for !
So, it seems I can buy the Parrot.
Thanks again !

Himalaya & Parrot Ck 3100
Hi gents :
I have both devices (Himalaya & Parrot), and almost everything is running fine.
Parrot and Himalaya synchronize automatically.
Only one thing :when conecting GPS and Parrot, if I let these devices to connect automatically, the phone sound is really bad, I have to cut down bluetooth hans free connection and retry again after few seconds.
Then, everything is OK.
Suggestions are welcome

Hi,
following ThomasScott, I have bought the CK3100. Got it today. I have tried it only few minutes but it seems to run fine. Synchro of directory is OK, and done when Parrot is on.
I will install it definitively tomorrow, and will try to connect both GPS and Parrot, to check if I have the same problem.

Bluetooth carkit problems?

Hello people,
i've been searching but couldn't find a thread about bluetooth carkit probs with diamond.
I have a parrot 3100 and always worked just fine with the wm6.1 device I had (Prophet).
But with diamond it's quite a mess.
When phone rings:
- Parrot rings
- Answers call
- Parrot mutes (? Mute-symbol on parrot)
- Cannot unmute, on phone there is no sound.
- Sometimes parrot disconnects a second or two.
When making call
- Also mute problem
- Other line can't hear me, must talk in phone?
Even buggy, sometimes hangs, just working really annoying, cannot rely on the carkit. Missed several callers today.
But, sometimes it just works...
Anyone recognised this, any fix or workaround? It should be able to work propery.
Also wonder, why my parrot gives the contacts as contact /m for mobile and contact /w for work in normal list, instead of grouping them under one name (contact -> work, mobile etc).

Have you tried firmware upgrade on your Parrot 3100?
http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/downloads

OMG what an Idea.
I'll take this laptop into my car and fix it.

I have the same parrot and I'm having similar issues. It's annoying because when it gets "muted", the parrot is functioning as if had a call and it blocks the music from the cd-player and it won't get unblocked until I turn off my car.
I think I'll try to update the parrot firmware as staroip said...

you can give this software a try.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
This has been solved similar problems with my CK3000.

Version 4.17 of the Parrot software more than solved the issue!!
* good contact syncing
* better voice quality
* no hangs at all
I'm happy

Hi all,
I also have problems with bluetooth and my Audi Bluetooth kit:
Connecting and phoning works fine but:
the phonebook:
- Names are wrong displayed (Surename and name are switched)
- on every number he deleted the "+" ... :-( on the car-screen (MMI)
In the phonebook on the diamond all Numbers have the e.g. +49 ... but on the screen in my car there is no "+" and of course the number without the "+" does not work...
- special chars like ä, ö, .. are not displayed correktly...
So what can I do, and whats that Parrot software you are talking about? EDIT: I just saw the parrot is an external bluetooth kit, right? So no solution with parrot software for my problem
FYI: I had a sony ericsson W950i with Symbian before and there everything worked perfektly with my bluetooth car system, so I hope I can also fix the problems on my Diamond with WM 6.1 ...
Thanks,
MrDiamond.

How did you update your Parrot kit?
Can you do it over bluetooth?

Been using the TD in my Land Rover (Discovery 3) with its bluetooth PTI. Works like a dream.
Auto connects, access to dialled, missed and received calls. Address book navigation using head unit and steering wheel control.
Better than when using my Nokia N95... that never did work with the recent called, dialled, missed lists.
Ironically the LR PTI is made by Nokia
Just need a power charger now as having a bluetooth connection running all the time kills the battery big time.
