BT 3900 not working - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I recently bought the Siemens SX66 from Cingular and the Bluetooth was not working with my Acura RL hands-free system. I updated the firmware from siemens site and it kind of helped the bluetooth problem but not fully. I then downloaded the BT3900 from this ftp and after i run it and it installs the "Today" screen goes all weird and i cant see anything on it. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!!

Hmmm... you may need to upgrade your radio ROM for compatibility with BT3900 drivers. I was able to upgrade my SX66 to 1.08 through the information on the site...

I had this - just change your today background to another. Then change back to your exsiting.
No problem...

Bluetooth Stack Extraction -- Please Help

How do I get the bluetooth files off another PDA2k?
I have the Bluetooth for Windows CE BT-PPC/CE Version 1.0.0 Build 2200 on my I-Mate PDA2K. IMate is completely useless as far as an upgrade.
The Verizon XV6600WOC has the same bluetooth stack as mine, but says 2400. It has NONE of the bluetooth problems that I have.
I really need your guys help in telling me how to get the bluetooth files off it so I can put them on mine.
If it works, then it is the perfect "patch" for all I-Mate PDA2K users.
I wish I could help, Ed. I honestly have no clue. Anyone out there willing to help out?
Ed, have you checked this out? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAtools
Just posting to keep this thread current and at the top of the page
Can anyone provide assistance on how to extract the Bluetooth stack from a Blue Angel to a format which can be inserted onto another device?
If what's being discussed here is true, the BT stack in Verizon's Blue Angel could be the solution to the BT problems with the other models like PDA2k, MDA III, etc.
Thanks!
Ed, check out this thread and the other thread referenced inside it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13590
Although the versions will probably be different, the process for extracting the BT files may be the same.
Hope it helps!
Progress
I am getting another XV6600WOC on December 15th maybe.
As of right now, I will not have access to other one at this point.
I was able to get all but 3 files off the device.

Bluetooth patch from club-imate! finally is here! AGAIN!!!!!

As some of you may have found out i-mate launched its FINAL bluetooth patch yesterday only to withdraw it this morning.
Well this afternoon (my time GMT+3) they launched it again. Knowing that quite a few of you folks are NOT members of clubimate and would like to get the patch, I've downloaded them (as there are five flavors of them depending on your which ROM you are using; WWE, FRA, PTB, ITA and SPA)
Device Support - Bluetooth Patch # 2 for i-mate™ PDA2k
i-mate™ is aware of the problems being experienced with the i-mate™ PDA2k Bluetooth. This is the second patch which will improve the bonding between the i-mate™ PDA2k and other devices. With this patch the bonding between the i-mate™ PDA2k and Bluetooth headsets will be more robust, after the PDA2k has entered Power Save (Sleep) Mode. Customers have previously observed that:
- when the i-mate™ PDA2k enters Sleep Mode for a period of time, any in-coming voice call alert is not relayed via the Bluetooth link to the Bluetooth headset, so no audible alert is heard.
- when the i-mate™ PDA2k is bonded to a Bluetooth headset and has entered Sleep Mode, the device will periodically wake-up while in an idle state, without prompting by the customer, leading to unnecessary power drain of the battery.
The patch does not correct the beaming problem between devices using the Brodcomm Bluetooth stack, like the i-mate™ PDA2k, and devices using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. We are still working on a resolution to this issue. Some Jabra BT250 headsets will also still have audio quality issues and we recommend contacting Jabra for a solution.
The correct patch to install on your device can be determined by tapping Start > Settings > System > Device Information and checking the ROM version suffix, eg x.yy.zzz WWE.
Click here to select the patch appropriate for English devices and Arabic devices and download "OEM_WWE_122_008.sa.CAB" this file is approximately 3.8 Mb in size. Once the cab file installs please soft reset the device to complete the installation.
Click here to select the patch appropriate for the ITA language on your device and download "OEM_ITA_122_011.sa.CAB" this file is approximately 4.0 Mb in size. Once the cab file installs please soft reset the device to complete the installation.
Click here to select the patch appropriate for the PTB language on your device and download "OEM_PTB_122_014.sa.CAB" this file is approximately 4.0 Mb in size. Once the cab file installs please soft reset the device to complete the installation.
Click here to select the patch appropriate for the ESN language on your device and download "OEM_SPA_122_012.sa.CAB" this file is approximately 4.0 Mb in size. Once the cab file installs please soft reset the device to complete the installation.
Click here to select the patch appropriate for the FRE language on your device and download "OEM_FRA_122_009.sa.CAB" this file is approximately 4.0 Mb in size. Once the cab file installs please soft reset the device to complete the installation.

Bluetooth version on the PDA2K
hey
downloaded the lastest version of the bluetooth patch from i-mate guess what.
The first update they did they upgraded the stac from build 2500 to buid 3500.
Now with the new version they have gone back to version build 3000.
Now he is the problem bluetooth driver still insufficient drivers with both of the stacks.
With stack 3500 when I connect to my Parrot 3300 bluetooth in the car it works fine I even get the network signal saying ok.
Now when I upgraded to the new vesrion which is build 3000 when I connect to the Parrot bluetooth car kit the network signal is not shown anymore so what the hell is I-mate do can they just release the new version or not.
My brother has a Qtek 9090 his upgraded to the new rom he get the license has expired on the Italian version what a joke.
Hows fault is this CD or Broadcom the makers of the bluetooth drivers.
I would like to known so I can pester the right people.
Thanks

Just after the setup, I had exactly the issues on my QTEK9090. Go in the parameters -> Today and change the theme. After this, you shouldn't have any more screen problem. After a short test, it seems the Bluetooth problems with my Jabra 200 fixed! Good luck

MDA III Warning
Just installed the Bluetooth patch on my MDA III and was presented with a completely black screen after Soft Reset. The only way around this was to Hard Reset. Yet to test the performance of the patch, but thought I would pass on the warning.
Had same problem on MDAII (black screen after reset - hard reset to cure) so am using previous patch
hi all
please i wanna help .. im in deep trouble whan i was tryin to upgread my PDA2K the screen become black and word Serial v2.06 or USB v2.06 is in the screen... i tried to hard rest but there was no response.. the screen now is empty and i dont have any information to back it again!!! please any 1 here can help me
but where they on clubimate :?:
there only last ROM. Has not understood humour. :shock:
Could someone upload these patches to our xda-developers ftp server under the blueangel directory. There should be a bluetooth patches directory somewhere there......
Thanks
All you should need to do is remove it from the cradle,then put it back in the cradle and restart the upgrade again. It should start to run again.
If that doesn't work,there are a couple of other things you can try.

Resurrecting DEAD threads from December 2004 will only serve to confuse the unwary! If you NEED this patch, go to the iMate website, register your phone and download it. *sigh* FYI: The patch has been incorporated into the WM2003 ROMs released since.

Is this patch incoorperated in Helmi WM5 Rom ? If not, any effect if i install this patch into BA Helmi WM5 ?

T-Mobile UK Blackberry and Radio Upgrades

Has anyone with the current T-Mobile Shipped Rom, using the BB client updated to a higher radio/bluetooth version. If so, has it had an effect upon the BB client? If I recall correctly the BB client was shipped with 1.06 in Germany?
I would like to upgrade to 1.12 &3900 but afraid to do so.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
I called T-mobile and they sent me a disk with a ROM update that included Blackberry (Instant e-mail).
I installed the update, which ends with a hard re-set.
then I restored the MDA from a full Active sync backup. this of course overwrote the Blackberry app!
Then I unlocked the extended ROM using tools from this site. Then I ran the auto installer in extended rom and the Blackberry stuff was re-installed.
Then rang t-mobile and added Instant e-mail for £10 a month. Works well.
Got the T-Mobile BB upgrade, and got my account activated 4 weeks ago (radio is version 1.0, BT is 3500).
Got the BB service up and running, but when I tried to upgrade the radio stack to 1.10, everything worked fine on the phone side, but BB stopped working.
Contacted T-Mobile CS who tried to help me get it work, said everything was fine their end and even tried many options to make it work - In this particular instance I can honestly say that I have never had better customer service. At the start of the call, they offered to call me back right away (which they actually did) and the call lasted over an hour. Eventually we concluded that it must be a problem with the radio stack.
I re-installed from the T-Mobile 'upgrade' back down to radio 1.0 and everything worked fine 'straight out of the box'.
All the BB settings and data are stored in the storage area on the MDAIII, so hard resets do not mean loss of data and you don't have to reconfigure the BB client at all.
I haven't had the time to try any other radio stacks yet, but would be interested to hear anyone else's experiences.
Has anyone managed to extract the BB client from the T-Mobile UK ROM yet? If so, would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Also, has anyone managed to get it working with another operator (specifically Vodafone)
Thanks!!
T - Mobile Blackbery and Radio 1.06
Xda-Rocks
Did you manage to try BB with the 1.06 Rom on the FTP site. I am making an assumption that it should work as Germany released BB client with 1.06, but we all know what assuming does....
I am hoping that someone more expert than me will act as guinea pig :?:
Thanks J
The version I am using is
MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
It works fine for me. I am using the t-mobile instant email account and it is also polling my standard pop3 account. I don't have a BES.
T-Mobile BB with Radio ROM 1.06 and upwards
OOPs apologies I wasn't very clear in my last post. What I was referring to is whether you have upgraded the Radio ROM from version 1.0 which is the one contained within the 1.06 BB Rom.
I am running BB fine on my device as well with the updated ROM. The problem, as ever, is the bluetooth range and quality. I believe that 1.06 is supposed to be a significant improvement over 1.0, even if 1.08/1.10 or 1.12 cannot be used.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the tip. I'll upgrade to 106 asap and give it a try.
Jiggy - Sorry I took so long to reply, but I've been busy. Finally got round to installing 1.06 Rom on the FTP site and BB works. Thanks for the suggestion.
BB with Radio 1.06 and BT3900??
XDA Rocks - thanks for the response now I will give it a try
Have you upgraded the stack to 3900 in addition to the 1.06 upgrade?
I just wondered whether this will affect the BB.
Thanks J
T-mobile Blackberry
Gentlemen - many thanks for all the feedback and especially MDAIIIUSER for all the guidance.
Got slightly carried away and went the whole hog!
MDA III on UK T-mobile
Flashed with 1.40 ROM, 1.12 Radio and BA_ERK_13 (from 1.22 kitchen)
+BT 3900
Everything worked well and the bluetooth may have been marginally better.
However could not get the blackberry client to work. Using instant email - the system would log on and then drop out without registering. (Similar probs in other threads). Again Tmobile customer service were exemplary and we tried everything - finally resetting back down to 1.06 ROM, 1.00 Radio and 1.06 Ext ROM. Now it all works again!
Therefore I'm assuming it's the radio that's the problem and that 1.12 does not work with BB. When feelinfg brave again will upgrade the radio to 1.06 and the Ext ROM to BA_ERK_13. Is the consensus opinion that this is sensible and should I be able to get away with the main ROM upgrade to 1.40? Anyone else tried any other combinations that allow BB to work?

Not sure if I read what you wrote correct or if you obmited some info.
Anyway If you used the ERK_122_013, in its full then you also upgraded patches like BT that are part of the 1.40.
You need to only use the customizing files and the ERK_140_Base files
As for the BB, you need to read the thread on that, think it went along the lines that only the 1.06 radio worked.

Yes, upgraded to 3900 and BB works fine - BT still crackles though.
Radio 1.06
xda
Sorry to be a pain but could you PM me with the link or send me the 1.06 radio upgrade file. I couldn't find it on wiki (lowest I could find was 1.08).
Do you think it is worthwhile upgrading in terms of the quality and range of the bt (I note your comment that it is still crackling :evil: ). Hopefully you have noticed some improvement?
Thanks again
Jase
Jiggy,
I found the radio rom on the ftp site in
/BlueAngel/Radio_Roms
I have upgraded to 1.06 and BT3900 and personally haven't noticed any improvement using Jabra 200 and Bluespoon AX headsets
T-mobile Blackberry
MDAIIIUSER
Many thanks again.
Just confirming but if I understand correctly - the best that we can hope for on our UK MDA IIIs at present is: (with Blackberry working)
ROM 1.06
Radio 1.06
Ext ROM 1.40 cooked (customised as required)
Is this correct?

Having to reset Qtek daily cause I don't hear the one I call

Hi
I have the newest firmware version installed on my Qtek 9090 (BA_WWE_14000_147_11200_Ship), and I experience a problem again which I had first when I bought my Qtek but was gone after I had installed Radio version 1.08.00:
Once a day I have to reset my Qtek because I can't hear the one I am calling - usually this happens when I call my mobile phone's answer phone. The phone gets connected but I don't hear anything. After a soft reset everything is fine again.
Is this a known issue? Any solutions to it? Ok - I know I can downgrade to 1.08 again but I dont really wanna do that. And yes, I can stop calling my anser phone ....
Anyone knowing what is causing the problem?
Reagrds,
A
I had the same problem with my Qtek 9090 until I stopped use the Bluetooth feature completely. Since then, everything is fine.

For me, radio 1.12 delivered:
- worse signal reception
- higher battery consumption
- still no sound issue.
flashed twice & still having the bloody "no sound" issue. really give up. i think the next thing to change is the motherboard. sigh.........................
I had never had this issues untill I upgraded my Radio to 1.12 and then I had it 5 times in one day, went back to 1.10, no more issues
Hmm. This is a really 'odd' problem. I didn't originally have this problem with my SX66. Then, it just 'popped up' one day, and I can't seem to get rid of it.
I have tried different ROM versions (currently 1.40), and my radio version is at 1.10.
I have NEVER used radio 1.12, so I know that's not the CAUSE.
We need to compile a list of people with the problem, and see exactly what combination of ROM and Radio they have, as well as the programs they have installed.
if you read the cingular forums, there are a few folks there that say they have had it all along so I am not sure where to start...
umm....... different ppl have different problem. seems like it's a integration issue.
If you go to some HK forums, you will also find a lot of people suffering from this.
To me, I seldom use it as a phone. I only use it to receive emails and website browsing. When I go overseas and I used it as a phone with a BT handsfree (shut down GPRS connection), everything is just fine. I only encountered once with no sound problem when I take away my BT handsfree on a plane....
It's definitely a bug since a long time ago with old and new versions.....
Sad....and disappointed......
Hi all,
I upgraded my phone to the 1.12 radio along with the 1.40 CE ROM and am always resetting due to the "can't hear caller" issue and I never had this problem before.
I'm going to do a hard reset and see if that helps (clear out all the apps and use it for a day or so). If this doesn't work, I shall revert back to the 1.10 as I had no problems with that.
ROM 1.40.00
Radio 1.12.00
EXT ROM 1.13.139 (with Updated CallerID [1.20] and older version of O2 Active [3.0])
This cant hear caller issue, is it cant AT ALL hear caler or caller is so faint I cant hear him.
I ask as sometimes I get calls that are faint however when the caller rings back it fine. Not sure if its crap reseption or the device.
I got O2IIs from UK and had the same "No sound" problem. I have to SR about 5 times daily to sort it out. However, if I turn off Bluetooth (pairing with my Bluetrek G2) then everything's OK.
My ROM version is 1.31.00 WWE, Radio : 1.10.00, ExtROM: 1.31.139 WWE and BT 1.0.0 Build 3500
Had up to BT 3900 but wont help. Gonna up radio to 1.12. Will post the outcome soon.
I've only experience the problem once since the imate 1.40 upgrade.
Now, I must say that I don't use the phone THAT heavily.
I upgrade to 1.40 EX, it seems working fine, still the sound quality is not good enough...
people!
A guy called Derek has posted a possible solution to this problem here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=118364
It involves removing the Bluetooth for the startup because he believes that even with the bluetooth off, the unit is still trying to connect to a bluetooth headset.
I'm going to remove/unpair my Bluetooth Headset and see if that makes a difference. If anyone else can try this and post results I'm sure this would help loads of people.
Dom
Please confirm this and I will post it to wiki
@xdadom,
It's correct. As I mentioned in my post, when I "turned off" Bluetooth, everything's OK. The way I "turned off" Bluetooth is exactly the same with Derek did in his post, i.e. delete "Run_BTTrayCE" from Windows\StartUp\
However, I still need Bluetooth for my hand-free device. In my opinion, it's rather a trick, not a solution to kill "No sound" problem. Anyway, we can wait the updated BT version from supplier to sort it out.

Worth installing XDAIIs ROM on PDA2K

Hi there everyone
I was speaking with a friend, and he was telling me to install the XDA2s ROM, on my i-Mate PDA2K. The reason for my interest, is that my Bluetooth headset, works for a little while, then it sort of drops out.
Also, I have had problems with stability, would it be worth upgrading the PDA2K Firmware to the XDA IIs firmware, and how would I go about doing it.
or is it just better to upgrade to the 1.13 Radio ROM Version.
Please help me if you can, thanx
Neil Spenta
Hi Neil
The ROMs are available on the wiki site here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
You will need to use the MA_Update utility to get around your device being from a different operator (I-mate) than the ROM you want to load (o2)
I have the 1.40 / 176 ROM on my xdaIIs and have the exact same issues as you with BT (all else is pretty good) and have been searching for a ROM that has better BT reliability s.o I can use my BT headset and GPS set up
I have been corresponding with a user that is using the O2 Asia 1.40 / 9xx ROM on their xdaIIs. They report good bluetooth relaibility with the only issue being some static when the device is not in a direct line of site with the BT headset. They in the other hand have experienecd some GPRS dissconnection problems when using this ROM in conjunction with the 1.13 Radio stack....
We believe that the best all around combo of functionality and stability right now is possibly the O2 Asia 1.40 /9xx with the 1.12 Radio. They will be running some tests this weekend to confirm. I'll post here with the findings
Regards
Chris
hi
hi there thanx for the reply,
hmm, I will wait, as im in no rush, but i dont really wanna go back to the static issue I had with my pda2k and headset
