xdaIIi Bluetooth Issues - Newbie need helpppppppp - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Firstly let me start by apologising if this thread has been covered before but I'm new here and Im new to my xdaIIi.
I have just bought a o2 xdaIIi and I cannot get the bluetooth to work and link to my tomtom go 500 to allow it to work as a handsfree.
I've done a quick scan on here and it seems this is a common problem but any links to ROM updates or radio updates for the Apline no longer work on the FTP page.
Can any ony point my in a direction that will make my xdaIIi bluetooth work?
oh and dont get me started on how unstable all the software is on my xda!

Probably not what you want to hear.....but....from what I have read on another forum the XDA2i is not compatible with TT 500 or 700 for BT connections, there are only a few devices that they do support. Try the TT site to check.

Xda iis Software Upgrade

HI All,
I've had my O2 XDA iis now for about 2 months and i'm having a few problems with the Bluetooth on the device.
I'm currently running 1.12.62.wwe
and version 1.0.0 Build 1900 of Bt-PPC/PE
Does anyone know if there is software upgrade to fix the Bluetooth connectivity problems, and when bluetooth is activited it kees turning my screen on and scanning.
Any help would be appreciated.
Software Ugrade
By the way does anyone know if O2 Uk have a site where updates can get downloaded or if there is a telephone number i can contact to receive software udates - regular support don't seem to be very helpful.
Cheers
XDA2s BT Connectivity issues (Launch build) how to upgrade
Like another post today, I too have bluetooth connectivity issues with initial build rom 1.12.62.wwe extROM 1.12.178 WWE Radio 1.02.00
I can only get headset profile to connect 1st time after HARD reboot, NMEA GPS bluetooth is not a problem (Both from Parrot CK3300 car kit)
Ideally I would also like to pipe the XDA audio from SATNAV app (tomtom) to the CK3300 over the car speakers too (Like headset profile) ???
Anybody able to point me in the right direction please?
I see other posts giving BT updates, which I have downloaded, but am unsure how to apply these... Is there a "noddy" guide to upgrading the XDA2s (This example is unlocked running on T-Mobile ond Orange without GPRS access), and how do I get later ROM versions etc.
Thanks, BID

Do a search for O2 Asia XDAIIs Bluetooth patch - there's one there that might help you.
As far as O2 support goes - www.02.co.uk/xda - however there is NOTHING in the way of updated files for the XDA IIs, there are some for the XDA II but please be aware that these are NOT compatible.
See the thread in the Blue Angel forum regarding Finally getting a response from O2.

Newbie interested in "cooking" PDA2k

I have a PDA2k and have several problems with it. Obviously at this point I've lost any hope that Imate will come up with a new ROM to fix these issues so now I am looking at "cooking" my own ROM for my phone. I am a newbie when it comes to this so I am looking for a little help here to guide me on what to do. I apologize if any of this has been asked already.
Anyway, here are my details
PDA2K
Rom: 1.22.00 WWE
Radio: 1.06.00
ExtRom: 1.22.162 WWE
Bluetooth: 3900, which has caused more problems than it has solved for me
Issues:
1. Bluetooth - When I add a headset to my device, and then have bluetooth OFF, and I am using the phone itself to talk, about 50% of the time if the phone rings I can't hear the other person but they can hear me. Basically the phone tries to use the bluetooth headset even though I have it off. The only way I can make this not happen is to delete the bluetooth headset from my devices in bluetooth manager, and the problem goes away. Of course this pretty makes bluetooth useless on my phone. Now that I have installed the 3900 stack, I am getting other errors when I trying to go to bluetooth manager at times, as well as other programs. Probably should re-install old bluetooth stack at some point.
2. WiFi - Works fine most of the time, though about 1 out of every 5 times when I try to turn it it on it shuts off GPRS but never turns on Wifi and just sits there.
Forgot to mention I am with T-Mobile in US if that matters.
So with this information can anyone assist me with what ROM/files/etc. I should install on this phone so it will function better? I am technically capable, but have no experience as "cooking" this device so with a little help I should be able to do this. Thanks in advance for your help!!
Ehhh, have you really looked around on this forum? :roll:
Anyway, follow the link in my signature, all the info you are seeking is there.
sorry about that, I will read, read, read.

XDA2i & Tom Tom 5 problem....a Newbie seeks help!

Howdy all!
Just found the forum via a Google search and was wondering if anyone can help - MANY apologies if this problem has been posted elsewhere (im a newbie here so please be gentle!), but ive just had a look but couldnt find anything......so here goes...
I've just got myself a XDA 2i today and having active sync'ed Tom Tom 5.1 to it i've come across a "program may not run correctly as its set up for older software" message. After running TT anyway it does indeed start, but cant seem to connect my wireless GPS receiver to it, and im just worried (having read elsewhere here) it could well freeze up in use if i perserve with it. Anyone have any advice?? Please??
I have a XDA 2 and my Tom Tom 5 runs perfect on it.........but am now left considering selling this new 2i on eBay (instead of the other one i'd intended) as i just want something that works. Can anyone help? Im just looking for some simple advice..........id REALLY appreciate it
Thanks in anticipation ............
Ant
Ps, I guess my main issue is just advice whether i should perservere with the XDA 2i (i just want Tom Tom to work!) - or sell and just stick with the XDA 2 that 'seems' to be less problematic. Im soooo desperate.........help!
Upgrade to 5.21
I'm not familiar with the Alpine but one thing that you should be doing for sure is to install the upgrade to 5.21.
Hope this helps!
Connect Tom tom Wireless Bluetooth GPS
Hello
I had TomTom installed in my Qtek 2020, and it worked.
I had a problem at first. I wasn´t able to connect with my wireless Bluetooth Gps, but then i set up the connection by setting it as "other NMEA cable GPS", strange, but it worked. I never could connect it as a "Generic Bluetooth Gps". I have a Pretec Gps Mini
I hope it works
Have you made sure "Receive all incoming beams" is NOT ticked in the settings - connections - Beam - menu? that is the normal culprit that we all forget!!!
Thanks SO much for the help guys....the 'incoming beams' thing did the trick......and it now recognizes TT5. THANKYOU!! Here's hoping it doesnt freeze up on me....! :?
With regards to the updated XDA2i not being compatiable with 'the older software im trying to run' would anyone recommend getting rid of it and sticking with the XDA2? The 2i is certainly the business with wi-fi, etc....but having uploaded a Commodore 64 emulator from Clickgamer (and having the same message pop up) i just dont know if im going to run into any other issues with this newer version of Windows its running. Any help would be really appreciated....thanks again :wink:
I would not worry about that pop up, it does it with loads of programmes, my 2i is very stable with tt5.2, even when using the phone via a BT headset and I have other programmes running in the background - the choice is SD card is more critical - Transcend 80x's seem to be the most stable. :lol:
Excellent...thanks for the advice!
Btw, just noticed the 'radio' thing in your signature......is it part of a download for the xda? Any other websites you'd recommend? My 2i is brand new out of the box and needing some cool gadgets put onto it! 8)
Thanks (again!) for all the help :wink:
Theres some good stuff on this site pdagold
It is freeware as well.
As for the Radio, I, along with many others have upgraded to Pugs rom, this seems to be the most stable one around, you can get it from the FTP part of this site, then just follow the instructions to reflash your rom.
a MASSIVE thanks for this.........sorry to be such a newbie, the advice here has been fantastic. Thanks alot!! :!:
i recommend pugz rom
i was using the o2 rom with tomtom 5.1 and and i kept loosing connection also had bluetooth issues, once installing the cooked rom, i've not experienced any problems
damned tt5.21
the problem is that I'm trying, at least, to let the O2 2i working with tomtom5.21 and fortuna clip-on gps receiver...
I read a lot of posts, so my beam settings are ok...
seems that tt5.21 don't want to communicate with the gps.
In fact the gps fixes (red light), but tt5.21 don't want to see it. It continue to say "no gps receiver", "signal lost from..." or, in the configuration, "Gps signal not good (or something else, I'm translating from italian)", and the small circle on the left up corner rolls, rolls, rolls...
so has any ideas? I'm not sleeping since 4 dayz....
tnx for all
pugz rom?
and where can I dl it? can so plz post me a link? tnx
*ant if you have problems with tomtom locking up swap sd card for a mmc card I was having problems with mine have had no lock ups since I changed to mmc

xda mini s and carkit

Hi,
I'm going to buy an xda mini s after seeing my mates, but it would not work with my vauxhall factory-fit carkit, not only did it not share the phonebook over bluetooth like my Nokia 6280 but it also kept disconnecting after about 20 seconds even if you weren't making a call.
From reading this forum i've gathered that the AKU that is out for Windows Mobile 5 will sort the phonebook sharing and possibly sort out the connection issue as well but what I haven't gathered is which rom's do what. I'm not going to ask which rom is best as I can see it's not as simple as that, but if someone could suggest a few roms that might be suitable for an uk o2 sim card and will have the aku. I'm not fussed about it having extra software in, i only want it to work with my carkit and do push mail with exchange 2003 sp2.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated, I have made the effort to read the forums, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of information !!
Cheers
Andy
hi, ive got a bluetooth car kit and dont have no probs, mine doesnt have the capability to share the phone book but i havent had any connection issues. ive flashed the Mr.Clean ROM to my T-mobile UK MDA and seems to be good. it has push e-mail and AKU2. been using it for a few weeks and seems fine. hope this helps a little.

Blue Angel, WM6, bluetooth GPS.....problem!!!

hi there,
I have a Blue Angel running stable on WM6 (CE OS 5.2.1933) and i'm having problems with my bluetooth GPS.
I can pair them , even running for a while with TomTom 7.916, after i close the program and try to reopen it, my bluetooth connection is lost...
I tried all the advised settings, but none work permanently.
I can't even check if my GPS device is still connected.
Never had this problem with WM2003....
Can anyone help please?
hi and welcome to the forum.
there are already threads that discuss this topic and although the solutions don't seem to work for everyone, i guess it could help you further.
one of those threads is to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476940
if nothing of that helps, you might want to change to rom, d-two for instance improved the gps support and his roms tend to work better with BT GPS. you can find all the recent roms in my thread in my signature (the "read first" one)
bluetooth connection
Thanx Chef
I've read almost all threats on this, but there is one thing i don't get.
In WM2003 you had to connect manually to a device if you wanted to use it's service, you then knew that the connection was there. In WM5 or later you only can assume that the connection is active sinds there is no option to connect to a device other then making a new connection. When i disconnect from my GPS I cannot connect to it again afterwards.
many thanx, I'll try your ROM tonight
Greetings
