Bluetooth range hack... - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Whatever BT chip BA uses, I assume that the horrible, useless range is a result of a poorly placed/designed loop antenna on the PCB.
Does anyone else think that this should be able to fix ?
I can solder "anything" size does not really matter..
I am thinking about the possibility to make a wire-loop onside the shell... and use it as antenna ..

hmm good idea!

great,how did you geton
come on man UPDATE US :lol: !!! lol

If u upgrade to wm5 which has ms stack...yr BT reach/range increases drastically :lol:

how many meters ? (between handsfree & BA - before scratchy noise ?)

I get about a meter before it starts to crackle. Thats with the new 1.13 Radio ROM.
Andrew

I get about 3 meters before I get bad crackling and 4+ meters before it is unusable with WM5 and radio 1.13

iPAQ H6300 Review

http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=440&p=1
I don't know... do you think the XDA III can be better than this? Voice Command through a Bluetooth Headset is sounding pretty good.
I would love to try HP's new BT stack on my I-Mate
That's EXACTLY what I expect from iMATE SE update. Full BT stack. Or at least, use hacked one from HP in XDA2
Its got an external ariel(cant spell) would have been a nice phone without. Its funny when a new phone comes out with one! doesnt look right to me.
Yeah, I don't like the antenna either.
I'm getting pretty anxious for a new i-mate WM2003SE ROM. I hope they add Voice Tag dialing support so you can use the Bluetooth Headset to initiate a call. It sounds like the H6300 does not have that capability, although it does have the ability to send system audio to the Bluetooth headset.
It looks like the MMS app on the H6300 is integrated with Inbox too, but the New MMS dialog looks just like the Arcsoft MMS Composer dialog for creating MMS messages. I wonder if there's a new version of MMS composer that integrates fully with the Pocket PC Inbox! Hopefully we'll get that on the XDA II soon too!
I WANT AUDIO THROUGH BLUETOOTH!!!!
That's the only thing that I hate about the XDA II... I'm tired down.
I don't mind the crappy quality, I was used to it with my other PPC.

Looks like Widcomm's new software that supports Phone Edition devices. It's cool how you can turn on headset support for just the phone, just the system audio/microphone or both. But I still wish I could use the buttons on the Bluetooth headset to activate Voice Tags or something. Sounds like all they can do with the H6300 is Accepting and Ending a call.
Calling all software engineers:
Someone, please get a hold of this BT Stack and backwards engineer it for the XDA II.
I'll donate $20US to whoever does this. I'm sure many more are willing to donate some money for a good cause.
not sure about which version the new hp will use but some people here seem to have the stack working on their devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9927&highlight=widcomm
for me to really wish for audio to headset it would require
1 stereo (mono music is not for me)
2 quality which dident make it all sound like aliens from beyond the sun that i pick up on my HAM
Rudegar,
Those are PC Bluetooth software... We're looking for the new Pocket PC Bluetooth Stack.
The only reason I want Audio through Bluetooth is for games and movies.

Updates: Feedback on BT3900, radio 1.06.02, Wlan patch

There are a couple of standalone updates around but not too much information about any improvements or otherwise with the Blue Angel variants. So lets post our results and see if these updates are worth upgrading to. My XDA IIs is running
latest rom 1.31
bt patch 3900
radio 1.06.02
Bt upgrade seems to have made minimal changes, maybe a touch louder but thats all, no other changes noticed
Radio 1.06.02; cant say i notice any changes here as i didnt have any calling problems with ver 1.02. I upgraded cos of a problem with wifi which is still there
Anyone have anything to note about the wlan patch? If there are any other patches i missed please post what they are and what effects it has had
Hi.
I have spent a while looking for the patches. Can you point me in the right direction?
I actually went back to the Dangaard BT stuff...version 3500 and patch. This worked better for me with my Logitech BT Headset.
I upgraded the radio also to 1.06.02...can't really say it made a difference, but hell, it didn't hurt either...
BT Build 3900
Hi.
Upgraded to Build 3900 from 3500, found on the FTP server.
Only dif. is that my SE HBH 300 is now faster do disconect a call when pressing the on/of switch.
I was fooling around alot with my BA the day i installed the Build 3900, and right after installing the patch i tested it without a Soft Reset. I got a perfect connection without any crackling noise and a really good distance.
After a Soft Reset it was back to the old crackling noise and poor distance.
And i just cant recreate the scenario i had that day
Radio, dont know. Dident have any troubbles with the old one.
Wlan patch, wating for others to tell.
I upgraded my radio rom to 1.06.02 and BT Stack 3900 and found the Bluetooth still crackled on my old jabra bt 200.. just bought a BT800 today and it appears to work better even the caller display works.. with the radio stack upgrade i have had quite a lot of problems connecting to known wifi access points even when all the correct details were in. I also could not connect to BTOpenzone when standing under the access point (and yep i do have an account on it) so I re flashed the radio rom back to 1.06.00 and bluetooth 3900 with high quality audio patch and it all back to normal with abit mor BT Stability :roll:
Jabra BT800 worked straight out the box with no patch needed and has good loud audio 8) and a range of 10 meters ish still a bit crackly at 5 meters though

So what you are saying is that radio version 1.06.02 interferes with WiFi somehow....that is interesting... :shock:
Do you remember what happened with your WiFi strength when you turned of BT, or have you not tried that?
Cheers,
HappyGoat
Hi as far as i am aware so far there has been no real issue with the Bluetooth and wifi interfering with each other or should i say i have not experienced any problems. the i ssue was just around using wifi and its connectivity problems i have had with open and unencrypted access points and encrypted ap,s the radio could see them but not connect. my xda came with 1.06.00 as standard and i was curious to see what the latter radio rom would offer. so as i didnt work for me i decided to go backward on step and all seems weel now. will agree interesting one and after trying a number of different 1.06.02 files as i thought the first was corrupt i just decided to revert back to a known to me working rom.
radio version difference
what is the difference in radio version 1.02 v 1.06?

BT3900 or BT3500

Hi all,
Just got my PDA2k and like all of you I'm suffering the bluetooth problem. Can someone tell me which is a better fix the BT3500 or BT3900? Does this fix the problem of headset bonding when phone resumes? Does anyone have a link to where either can be downloaded please?
Thanks
Medube 8)
The files are here ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Bluetooth Upgrades/
I found the 3900 a little bit better, but i think its very independent for each setup.
i sold my XDA2s to a friend (probley soon to be ex friend) anyway as it hard reset its self he gave it back to me to reinstall his tomtom. As there was a rom upgrade i did this as well, i also used the the BT3900 from my XDA2i but i could not get the 2s to pair with any BT headsets, so i had to go back to the BT3500 that came in the new rom upgrade.

Well as far as i know, the 160_600.sa.cab is a Widcom release, whereas the 3500 and 3900 are Broadcom, and these 2 companies are now the same....again as far as i have heard.
I tried the 160_600.sa.cab but it was a total disaster. Dont let the numbers fool you. Since these are from 2 different companies.
someone has explained in other post that Widcomm 1.6.0.600 is older than Broadcomm 1.0.0.3900. After Broadcomm bought Widcomm they reseted version numbering to 1.0.0
Currently the latest BT stack I was able to find is 1.0.0.3900 and audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00. There is 1.35.00 DLL but it has problems transferring call from BT to handheld. audiogw.dll is the reason of bad sound quality over BT.
I have upgraded to BT 3900, after soft reset the sound cracled like hell, so I reinstalled 3500 and the fix for it (posted on the FTP), then the sound was better, I then reinstalled 3900 and it now sounds good as well. I noticed that the crackle is intermittent on both 3500 and 3900.
Yesterday evening I fully charged my PDA2k and this morning it needed to be charged again, I only made 4 short calls. But I must say that I had my SE HBH-660 off all the time!!??. could this be the reason or the 3900.
P.S. I run my PDA2K with the Arabisation software, and I used to have a lot of hanging and freezing but after cooking the ROM and updating the Radio to 1.06.02 and replacing Caller ID 1.17 (in the extended ROM) with 1.20, it has been running without trouble (for three weeks) in spite of loading lots of other software.
I reckon removing Caller ID 1.17 from the Extended ROM was a good thing!!
ROM Version 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date 12/13/04
Radio Version 1.06.02
Protocol Version 1337.38
ExtROM Version 1.31.112 WWE

Does BT 3900 come with this version of audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00 or is this a sperate file file you have upgraded. If it is can you tell me where to get it from. Ive tried a search here and on google .
Out of interest how do you determine the dll version in pocketpc as this file doesn't come up in the bluetooth manager file list?
I'm using the HP headphones and am pretty happy but the quality is a bit scratchy when you put the XDA2s in your pocket, would be nice if this could be fixed.
Thanks

I had the same experience this weekend.
I used to charge it on Friday night and use ir regulary during the weekend with my HBH-600
This weekend, Sunday night battery was exhausted.
I also think that BT 3500 is more stable
audiogw.dll is not included in this one BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab
Mine is eating power like i have never seen it done before.
Only think .3900 did for me, it's faster to end a conversation pushing the button on the Headset.
I have BT 3900 installed and don't have problems with battery. I have a bonded BT headset and BT activesync connection with PC.
Regarding audiogw. Fix_For_BT.sa.CAB has an updated TIBinaryParser.dll. It deals something with WiFi and BT coexistence. I don't use WiFi so I didn't notice any differences. This archive also has 1.35.00 audiogw.dll that has problems transferring call from headset to phone. I don't recommend installing it. It was taken from Harrier 1.35 ROM and is probably incompatible with other ROMs.
I've attached audiogw.dll that I'm currently using. It is 1.33g version.
I just need some clarification please. If I want to update my BT 3500 stack which of the following cabs should I install ? One of them or both and in what order ?
BroadcomCorp_BTUpdatefor1.0.0.3500.cab
Fix_For_BT.sa.CAB

You don't need any of these 2 CABs. The first is high quality audio/BT keyboard profiles update and the second is a buggy DLL from Harrier ROM that cause problems on other devices. You need ftp://[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Bluetooth Upgrades/BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab and the attached CAB in my prev. post. You may install BroadcomCorp_BTUpdatefor1.0.0.3500.cab if you use BT keyboard or have headset that supports high quality audio profile. I have these 3 CABs installed for 3 days and don't have BT problems.

Has 3900 improved static?
Has anybody with a PDA2k installed BT3900 to improve static on their BT headset with any success? I'm currently on 3500 through the imate ROM build, and can pair with my HS-850, but the static is pretty bad regardless of the range.

Blue Angel - A2DP Bluetooth

Hi all
I have got Blue Angel:
ROM: 1.42.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
BT: 3900
Last week I upgraded to the T-Movbile 1.42 Rom. I then installed the A2DP profile patch and was amazed that my Omiz OMS600 headphones were actually working using the high quality audio profile, and they were working very well.
The other day I did a hard reset to sort out a few things and left it at that. Later on when I came to reinstall my A2DP it wasn't working, nor was using the headphones as just a normal headset. I tried all sorts, including downgrading my ROM because at that point I was wondering whether or not it was actually on a previous version that I had it working.
Anyway... eventually I decided it was the headphones that had an error so emailed Omiz who were very helpful and sent me the download for their firmware flashing utility. This upgraded the ROM of my headphones from 1.06 to 1.25. I can now pair my headphones as a headset but not as High Quality Audio. I can get it to add a High Quality Audio shortcut in BT manager but when it trys to connect it says: "connection failed". Before it was also saying "service unavailable on device" or somthing similar.
Any assistance would be good.
Thanks a lot.

A2DP & WM5
Hi there,
I got the patch from: ftp://xda:[email protected] Upgrades/BT profiles for build 3500/
But I'm not sure if it will work on WM5, I think I have read that it will not, this is my main reason for not moving to WM5 yet... although at the moment while i can't get A2DP working I am not much better off.
How are you finding WM5? Is it reliable enough to compete with WM2003 yet, or is there still a bit of work needed?
It doesn't work under WM5. WM5 has a Microsoft bluetooth stack, this patch does not apply.
WM5 on the BA is quite stable if you have the time to work with it. I am not going back. If somebody comes up with a BT fix for the stand-by problem that does not drain the battery, all of my issues will be fixed.
A2DP on WM5
Thanks for that... I might consider upgrading one evening when I have nothing better to do!
Do you rekon we'll ever see A2DP on the MS bluetooth stack?

I agree. By the moment, I'm very pleased with the performance of WM5 on my BA. It actually runs faster than w2003! And I'm beeing very objective, believe me!
I'm having a big annoyance with writting (sms, word, etc) as the spelling isn't allways what I wrote. On the SMS window, it seems the screen gets redrawn all the time and it loose some words...
The other big is not having A2DP. I think is very frustrating having such a nice machine without a good software that makes all its goodness work! :?
Some delayings on the screen repainting and (I'm using Pocket Informant) slow performance on the everyday tasks as opening the contacts list, or changing toanother program, for example...

Answer is no, not possible yet.
And to the poster above - yes, just need the bluetooth connect issue solved where it drops connection when it goes into stand-by mode. The fix that drains the battery by keeping the unit out of standby mode really isn't a fix for me.
Not that I am complaining - I'm happy to be an early adopter along for the ride..

How do I enable A2DP on my BA??
Hello!!
I have searched the forum many many times and visited wiki, but I could only find 2 threads which is close to what I need to know. This is 1 of them.
I have got Blue Angel:
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.12.00
BT: 3900
This configuration came from the recently rom upgrade from o2.
It seems to me that it's possible to enable A2DP on a BA running on WM2003 SE, which allows me to stream music to a bt headphones??
However I just could not find a thread which has an instruction on how to do it. Not even on wiki. After reading some threads, I came to my own conclusion that I need to upgrade me BT to build 3900 and install a patch??
So this was what I did,
Since my BT is already 3900 "offical" version, thus I didn't do anything to it.
I d/l this file BA_OEM_AudioGW (1.33g.00).CAB (83KB) and ran it on my PPC. I then got the audiogw.dll in my windows folder.
That was all I did. It didn't work of course. I have another file, BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab but didn't use it as I'm already on 3900??
So I was just hoping that someone who has done it and was successful, could point me in the right direction!!! Thanks a lot!!!
anyone tried running both cab loacted at
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...age BT 1.0.0.3900 and audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00/
if it works, do let me know. I currently do not have a bluetooth headphones to test with.
I have Omiz headset (with MP3 and radio FM) and due to work with my Magician I had to manually change some registry entries. Point was that my PDA was not correctly identified as a A2DP device (only HF). I paired my PDA with normal BT dongle with A2DP profile, found registry entries with dongle mac adress and copied manually keys coressponding with a2dp service to folder with my headphones profiles. After all that it was possible to chose headphopnes in BT menager as stereo audio receiver.
Maybe its similar and u should look in registry...
jarekt, can you post those registryvalues please?!
Can't get streaming audio to BT headphones
I still have had no luck with the BA_OEM_AudioGW (1.33g 00) Cab or any registry settings under WM5.
BT a2dp WM5
have you tried the file (.cab) i uploaded in BlueAngel under uploads, it let me pair BT Stereo under wm5. Nevermind I looked someone deleted it dont know why. PM me and i can send if you want, I tried to reupload but Uploads appears broken.
I am on thesame situation of errorist.
My machine is on Broadcom 3900, and I want to make A2DP work.
If anyone can shed a light on how to make it work, I'd be very very grateful.
BTW, I have a Motorola HT820.
UPDATE:
I have installed the 3900 stack + audiogw dll even though I had a factory-installed 3900 stack, and I managed to connect in handsfree mode.
I still have not found out how to connect in A2DP mode though...
Any help is appreciated.
Hi All
I dont know how useful this is going to be, but i spent ages doing research to get my ht820 and my 02 xda 2s working properly, and when i did, i wrote a semi bad guide here
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=2840.0
if its any use i'd be tempted to maybe write it up proper and put in in the wiki, either way, try some of the steps or files ive listed (most of them are from here)
but it gets it working with TCPMP aswell, which is a lot better than WM10 anyhow
good luck
BTW: ivans rom uses the broadcom stack, so the patch may work, however i dont have the headphones to test it with
i've onstalled this two cabs too, but new profile didn't appeared. Bay Be some registry values didn't appied? who did this patch?

A2DP skipping solution

Hi to all,
as pointed out many times in various XDA forums - there is a definite solution to the skipping problem with bluetooth stereo. The reason i post it again is that i never had the issue before, but it appeared with the latest ROMS 2.26 and beyond - probably due to more optimistic assumptions about the BT headset performances (i own a Jabra BT620S which i love, after i got rid of the Motorola HT820 because of terrific skipping that i could have probably solved!)
The solution:
set/change the registry BitPool (it is a DWORD in case you don't have it) by using TotalCommander or similar:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/BitPool=40
A value of 50 or so means heavy skipping, the lower it is the lower the bandwidth between your headset and the wizard. At 40, i can be the famous 10 m away without any skipping with a great audio quality. But at 50, i have essentially to keep the wizard nearby my ears....
Last comment on the quality: i don't notice any difference, probably because my WMA files are encoded at lower bandwidth anyway....BTW, MaxBitpool and SampleRate, experimentally, have no visible effect (probably depending onthe MS implementation of the BT stack).
All the precise information supporting this empirical evidence is available in (see for example pg. 22 and 71 for the bandwidth estimation)
http://www.bluetooth.com/NR/rdonlyres/800D10CD-DE3D-4D51-ABC0-726C8DF26151/921/A2DPspecv10.pdf
Enjoy the Wizard!
No Skipping at last.
It seems to work for me no skipping as long as I am not syning via bluetooth.
Thanks for posting this fix, as the skipping has been bothering me for a while.
I thought it was fixed
Sorry Buddy it still skips on me, do I have to reset the wiza after adding the registry setting?

Absolutely yes, you have to soft reset your device (keep pressed the power button or use the stylus in the small hole on the right side).
I use resco registery editor and there is no file for settings or bitpool? I have cingular 8125 and jabra 620
same here, i have no settings/bitpool in my registry
i have hklm/software/ms/bt/a2dp/devices/1, 2, 3, 4
@pzucchel, which rom are you using?

And your roms are A2DP enabled? seems strange, though you could always add the settings, but God knows how many other keys you'll be missing.

if only that worked
i am using phoneAlarm which seems to slow down every rom is use a lot, but overclocking does not work for me.
someone please tell me which rom they are using, that way i can try it, and if the sound still drops, i know it's my device/my loaded software
I'm using Core2.0 (as shown in my signature). But I got the hissing problem so I am using Axim Widcomm stack.. However, I still have to overclock to get rid of the skipping. The reason could be because I play aac+ files using TCPMP. I remember that there was no skipping in WM5 when I played MP3s.

Well I'm using the stock T-Mobile now (I'm in between cooks, and messing around with the registry files, hopefully tomorrow I'll be flashing..... again) Have you tried Faria's roms? a2dp worked pretty well for me using an IOGear stereo headset. Skip's were far in between, that is if they were present at all; usually when I had a lot of apps running, or when the phone was connected or connecting to GPRS was the only way it would skip. Your milage may vary though, but it might be worth a shot.
so i flashed the core 2
edited the registry (set it to 20 hexadecimal, which gives 32 in brackets) (i really didn't find a2dp settings in any other rom i tried) and now it works, so thanks for all the help - it's easy when you have the right rom
I thought I would drop in my .02 cents. I have a Jabra 620 as well. I had previously used Molski 3.3 crossbow lookalike rom (WM5). With that one, auidio was good but was not in stereo.
Now today I had some free time so I decided to try a wm6 rom or 2. With Faria's rom, the sound quality was good. I think he sets the bitpool to 60. But the rom itself is buggy.
Next I tried crossbow reload 1.7. This rom is much less buggy. But the stereo bluetooth sucks. The sound quality is very tinny. Also, there is this constant background clanging that is very annoying. I have looked at the bitpool. Bitpool in reload is 30. I changed this to 60 but it may have only gotten slightly better. Sound quality still sucks. To note, I dont get any skipping, so Im happy about that.
EDIT: I decided to change the MaxBitPool value to greater than 30. At 35, all the clanging and general bad sound went away. I'm happy!
sorry for the missed replies!
....i have switched to the trinity due to a wizard failure!
...If you don't have the bitpool register, you should create it. And by the way, i had exactly the same problems with the trinity and the same jabra bt620s, and changing the bitpool value worked again!!!
all the best;

I now have the ingenetics rom dump flashed to my ppc (see my sig) and it is by far the best a2dp rom ever - without overclocking (i forgot to try it, so i'll be doing that soon, to see what improvements i can make)

OT - how is the trinity compared to a wiz? i asked in my local shop, but with all the rubbish from orange on it, it was actually a lot slower than my wiz. and they wouldn't even let me hard reset it and let me remove the extended rom they even said there was no other software to make it run faster! nor would i be able to remove the orange crp - funny how we know more about these things than the sellers
Thanks for this post. I know it's been a few months, but I just got myself a Jabra BT8010 and this change in the registry value made a difference in the audio quality. I don't have the drop outs I had with the other value. The problem I have now is that TCPMP doesn't play the video smoothly when using the headset despite overclocking. Any ideas to the setting that would help? Thanks.
