Done a bluetooth bad??? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I've just upgraded to imate 1.4 on my Orange SPV M2000 and everything seemed to go fine.
First thing I did was install and run GPSdash which went to the bluetooth manager to find my GPS. At that point everything became a little confused and terminated with a crash.
I've tried soft reset after soft reset & can't get into the bluetooth settings or manager. Nothing at all happens when I click the icons. Nothing is in memory.
anyone have any idea what I've done?
Thanks

well, that's resolved itself!
how strange.

Need help with my Gprs not connecting

i new to this whole pocket pc thing, and i found this site and started upgrading my t-mobile mda. first i upgraded the rom to the k-jam upgrade and everything worked fine. then i started messing with the registry with registry wizard. that was fine also. but as soon as i hit the edge icon tweak, i can no longer connect to gprs. i get a msg saying
"Cannot connect. make sure your phone is turned on, or tap settings to check your connection settings. "
can anyone help me. i didnt alter the settings from when it was working so im unsure of what the problem is. any help is greatly appreciated
sounds like ou ahve been doing a fair amount of tweaking. Even in the registry. Are you sure it was the Edge icon tweak that did it as my Cingular 8125 is running 2.16.9.1WWE and I have made that change and mine works fine. My wonder is if one of the previous changes didn't take affect until a reload or a new program load, and that is what actually caused the problem. I loaded some cingular cabs yesterday and it broke activesync.

yah i know. but even after i restored my original registry settings i still cannot connect. when i try to connect, the window that shows gprs is trying to connect flashes 2x then it reads the msg i posted. any ideas
none here... I hope someone else can help, or you can hard reset and try to do the changes slowly soft reset a couple of times after each change until you figure out which one cased it. Each change including installed programs.
Sorry
mine does the same thing and I have been able to get it to connect without reset. Tap your signal bar on screen and turn on flight mode than turn off it will reset connections. It happens after every sync or charge for me and once we are able to unlock the cid and install the cing ext rom it might go away.
i actually just got rid of the program and it works now

Successful WM5 Rom Upgrade Tricks to share

Most of you would have upgraded successfully from WM 2003 rom to various WM5 rom. For me, I started using Helmi's 1.30 rom, 1.32 rom, 1.4 and 1.4 vanilla rom, Xplode AKU 3.3 and 3.5, and just on Tuesday, tried Helmi/Logout rom (I choose to call this rom as such as pointed out by Helmi, Logout had used more than 90% of his work).
All the roms are great, but each had given me some problems, due to the fact that I have many programs installed, nothing to blame Helmi, Xplode or Helmi/Logout. All the roms when freshly installed gave me very stable results, i.e. BT and Wifi on off. From Helmi's 1.4 rom, I got to enjoy A2DP. From Xplode's rom, I got to enjoy clean basic BA WM5 rom. From Helmi/Logout rom, A2DP and stable BT and Wifi on off.
This the experience that I want to share, and I hope you will find this useful.
For all the roms so far, what I did was to hard reset, flashed the rom, test that BT and Wifi can on and off, and start installing all my other apps one after another without soft reset, unless the app asks for it. Along the way, I will find that BT and/or Wifi will not start.
With Helmi/Logout rom, I did the same as above. After a number of apps installed, I experience again either BT and/or Wifi problems. Then something hit my mind! Why don't I do a soft reset after each app installation and after that, check for BT and Wifi power on and off. Guess what, I managed to install majority of the apps to my BA and BT and Wifi still powers on without problem. Here's a list of apps I have:
1. PocketZen Phone
2. Pocket Dashboard
3. GPSGate
4. Mapking 7
5. Garmin Que
6. Spb GPRS Monitor
7. Spb Time
8. Spb backup
9. Spb Imageer
10. Resco Explorer
11. Resco Audio Recorder
12. Virtual Pool Mobile
13. Bubble Buster
14. SKTools
15. XCPUScalar
16. GB-Soft Tweak
17. Tengo Thumb
18. Bejeweled
19. Ezdial
20. Lexisgoo English Dictionary
21. psShutXP
22. Styletap Launcher
23. MS VC 1.6
I still have a number of apps that I had not installed but with 23 in and still running fine with BT and Wifi, I'm very satisfied. So I suggest to those who complain about BT and Wifi problem, or any other problem, try what I had done, i.e. do a soft reset after installation of each app and share with others your success.
Hope all of you will find this useful.
Cheers and thanks to Helmi, Xplode and Logout.
Damn, noone figured that out before, that some apps may screw the settings!! :| Gotta do some tests...
So basically we should not bother with preparing an Ext Rom with all the programes we want, and instead Install and Soft Reset each one seperately?
I'll try it next time i flash my rom, thanks!
That was a good share zard!
WiFi now misses firing up in the helmi/logout ROM when it used to be working fine, unfortunately I didn't know which program I installed when it stopped working.
Just some thoughts, if somehow bluetooth/wifi registry settings gets screwed up after prog installation without soft reset, would it help if we change registry file type from hive to file-based? Registry changes gets written immediately each time with file-based, that is what I read somewhere.
Anyway, I really wouldn't mind doing 20+ soft resets just to get that 100% WIFI/BT powering up!
Thanks again!

Hi Zard
Hi Zard
Thanks for your information, it is very useful.
I am also running on Helmi's / Logout's rom.
I managed to install a lot of programs without affecting BT/WIFI.
I can turn both on / off without a problem. However, I have problem with BT, I can not have two BT devices connected at the same time. When I have my BT headset connected and I try to connect to my BT GPS receiver, it will not work!!
Do you have this problem or do you have a solution for this issue? I did not have this problem on Helmi's 1.4 rom (did not try vanilla though).
Thanks again.

I don't know about what is the difference between registry file type of hive and file-based but whoever knows and can do something about it would be good. Though it was terrible to do so many resets and I guess its worth it after all.

I just tested MS VC 1.6 and the incoming call alert seems to work only when Notifications is set as 'Annouce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'. Probably, the BT is still not perfect but still, I'm more than satisfied with the BT now since A2DP works for Media Player, Mapking 7, Garmin Que and even voice dial through Mic of BT headset and voice instructions from BT headset when you activate MS VC 1.6 through the hardware button. Voice dial won't work through BT headset if MS VC 1.6 is activated from BT headset. I'm using i-Tech Clip radio BT headset.
just yesterday, i had that same old problem of BT not turning on... after countless soft resets after either turning BT on comm manager or BT settings, it still wont turn on. wifi is ok, just the bt. so i gave up and went on my day without BT. and just now, after reading these latest posts, decided to test BT again. and it works fine again! no new app installed, nothing changed. it had also happened in the past. hmmmm got you all thinking again i wonder
how do u guys manage to install application in Helmi AKU 3.4 v1.4? Using EXE or CAB?
i just flahsed mine yesterday and when i try to install CAB...it seems that the application is NOT installed correctly..
Hi all,
can anyone let me know where i can find this rom (Helmi/Logout) and may be some installation instructions ?
Thanks in advance
Chris
have u checked thru the forum?
the link for logout rom is existed inside helmi v1.4 thread too.

vxUtil messes up my Kaiser

Hi everybody,
maybe it's of interest to anybody:
I have experienced strange problems with my Kaiser (Vario III). It wouldn't turn on after having been turned off, and I had to resort to a soft reset. I was able to trace this to the installation of the vxUtil network programs.
As I don't need the utils at the moment, I didn't install the suite after my last hard reset, so everything is fine now.

I have the vxUtil executable on my Storage Card, and after a hard reset there's no need for an install. I can run it directly. I never had problems with this app.
Hmmm ...
I think I'm getting more and different issues here, while the aforementioned problem didn't turn up again, I'm getting SoD's now that might be related to Kaiser Tweak, but it's all so inconsistent.

activesyn problem in 1.93ROM

Did anybody notice an improvement in activesyn?
My ROM is 1.93.831.1.
The activesyn. is still unstable. It fails intermittently and usually needs a soft reset before it can succeed.
But after repeated reset, sometimes the favorite contact list would be cleared up. How come there is still bug???
What is HTC doing?????
I am feeling desperate.
My old PPC 2003SE can even do activesyn within 10-20sec but diamond need at least ~1min to do so!!!
Switching off "enable advanced network functionality" seems to work in 1.34 ROM but not in 1.93 ROM.

Hi,
it happened exactly the same situation to me then i installed HTC GPS TOOL (i found it on XDA but now i don't remember in which post, just use search) that i run before launching tomtom.
Hope it helps.
Panco
what settings do i need to use on there as i cant get it to connect on any port?
I have the HTC GPS Tool, on my Ignito the port is COM4 and it will connect at any baud rate.
I suggest you set the tool to - COM port: COM4 - Baudrate:38400 - Set the drop down box to 'Cold Start'
There is a label that says 'Open' , Click on it and it should change to 'Close' and you should start receiving data in the output window.
Check the drop down is set to 'Cold Start' and click on 'Nav Init' to reboot the GPS hardware.
If you are seeing any data in the O/P window then the GPS hardware is recognized and working.
HTH

just tried those settings but get " open com port failed" message.
Oops! Then it sounds like an OS problem or a hardware fault although that's pretty unlikely.
Unless anyone else has a better idea then maybe you need a hard reset?
If it's a WM problem then a reset will cure it
You can reset and leave the Internal Storage data intact, but you'll lose all your installed apps and data on the device of course, so backup (you probably know all this already )
EDIT: Just checking - you didn't change the com port accidentally somewhere did you
windows settings are set to com 4, none and baud to 4800 as i have seen on other posts but still no joy.
i cant even seem to do a hard reset as everytime i try as soon as i touch the red reset button the phone soft resets and doesnt come up with the hard reset menu. I am holiding volume down and enter quite firmly.
You can also hard reset from >Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage with the option to leave the Internal Storage drive untouched
done a hard reset and everything is working fine again! thx for your help
