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. "

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

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?

Thanks!
Reliable bluetooth keyboard connection anyone??
Freedom mini bluetooth keyboard refuses to pair with my diamond.
Has anyone managed to get the freedom mini bluetooth keyboard to work reliably with the HTC Diamond?
Coming from a hermes I thought I could by the diamond and pair it with the freedom keyboard but its so eratic/touch and go...
I'm hoping I wouldn't have undergo the pairing process (typing in numbers) every time I need to use the keyboard.
I've only successfully paired it once!
during the pairing process it pairs then prompts that the keyboard would like to pair, requests a passcode and even though I type one in and type it on the keyboard it never works.
Search!!!! Brada. Or u gonna get burned.
If your a bum then go here
I have searched and searched and am in NO mood to branded a bum - Period.
I have been using this forum since the damn SPV so I know why I am asking specific questions about specific hardware and how it functions with the HTC Diamond.
So if you don't have anything constructive to offer on this specific hardware (freedom mini bluetooth keyboard and it's pairing process) then please don't bother.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I have a touch diamond (with Telstra rom) I need to find a way to downgrade my bluetooth drivers on my device. I can hear you all asking is this guy deranged, why would anyone want to do that. Well heres the reason, I have an igo bluetooth keyboard possibly one of the greatest gadgets that has made my life a tone easier when using email. But the drivers that it has dont seem to work with my device as it does not recognise that i have bluetooth at all. This keyboard has worked with my touch dual (20key 850mhz) but not with the diamond. Is there a fix for this.
Thanks
Rather than downgrading your Diamond's bluetooth drivers, have you tried upgrading the bluetooth keyboard drivers instead to the latest available version ?
I have an original Stowaway bluetooth keyboard. I downloaded the WM5 drivers from:
http://corporate.igo.com/support/do... Support/PPC5/En/dr/Think Outside ppc5 En.zip
and the keyboard works perfectly on the Diamond even though it is running WM6.1
Good luck
Thank you that worked great!!!
BlueInput for Broadcom is closing in
We're happy to announce that Teksoft is just a few weeks away from the release of Blueinput for devices that use the Broadcom Bluetooth stack, including the HTC HD2, HTC Touch Pro 2, Asus, and others.
BlueInput is an advanced HID driver that totally transforms your Pocket PC or Smartphone into the perfect Mobile office solution by offering easy Bluetooth connectivity to Bluetooth Mouses or Keyboards.

fantanstic news !
I wanna use it with mouse and keyboard as mobile computer ~
Great News... Can a working version (alpha/beta/demo) be released before next Friday morning?
I leave next Friday evening for a 5 day camp where no laptops are allowed... ordered a BT Keyboard.. and have several BT Mice... would really like to use a BT Mouse on the HD2 as well...
indeed, would be great to have it asap. the news said something about "weeks away". probably it's in testing phase.
about time! hate having paid for the software and not having it working.
hopefully it supports different language/keyboardlayout. thats (beside mouse support) my only problem atm. with bluetooth on the hd2.
anyhow great news mad.
Here's a demo video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLRXSBcu6WI&feature=player_embedded
showing a bluetooth mogo mouse working with an asus device, that has the Broadcom Stack (like the HD2 does).
looks impressive...
waiting for news
DN41
Still holding my breath too. Teksoftco's web site has everything in place except the download. Sure wish they would put up an expiring demo so we can at least have something.
Teksoft sleeping - confirmation
Ridiculous: Teksoft Broadcomm page is defunct for almost two weeks now. Are they sleeping or what? Does anyone know any details? Where are the beta testers???
Wonder if this will get around the issues with Wiimotes and Playstation Sixaxis remotes...would love to use one of those in FPSECE instead of the bgp100
Nice video showing the possibilities of blueinput. But the HD2 already has integrated bluetooth reception. I have a microsft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard, which is easily recognised by the current bluetooth software on my HD2. The current issue of the bluetooth keyboard is that not all keys are functional in the windows mobile 6.5 software. What is needed, therfore, is software that can reprogram the bluetooth keyboard keys, for more functional use. That will be a milestone for the Hd2. Has anyone heard of this software yet?
So you are saying your M$ 6000 BT mouse pairs properly and works? I have a M$ 5000 and the HD2 sees it but cannot pair with it. It works fine on a laptop.

No, he wrote "keyboard", not "mouse". No comment on your reading skills.
To be serious: back to my post on page #1: what about the blueinput software? Where are the beta testers???
Ok, Teksoftco, this thread was started by you on Feb. 5, today is June 24. 5 months seems a bit extreme for a beta test.
Hi,
totally agree with you, 5 month to issue a software is a bit long. Perhaps waiting for people to buy other/recent keyboards ;-)
Anyway, my BK600 would work with my hd2 with that software. Too bad they haven't delivered yet. What do they need developpers ? (i'm one of them , so if they need help... lol )
Anyway in the same vein, i would really like to ask for sources of freedom / Com1 / omiz BK600 to fix the to issue a driver for my hd2 ...
Kind regards,
and still waiting some driver to make my bk600 work on my htc hdé !!!
Ludovic
Don't hold your breath - the software is defunct - not working - major issues.
see my thread : developping bluetooth gateway for bk600
enough to wait for will-be-released drivers, or drivers which are not for my phone.
I'll try to make on myself. If i succedd, it won't cost $15 ^_^

BlueInput: BT Keyboard not found
I've downloaded the last/new vesion of BlueInput 1.0.101. But still it can't detect my BT keyboard (HP iPAQ foldable). It detects though my BT mouse - Logitech MX1000 and it works fine, but no any signs by the keybord.
My other BT software on my HD2 detects the keyboard and i've managed to make it work, but its inconvenient to use one program for keyboard and another for mouse.
Has anyone experienced similar problems with iPAQ BT keyboard? It cannot be detected by BlueInput software. These guys need to do some more work before i buy this software.
Bought a cheapo chinese bluetooth mouse a while back for this purpose & have been waiting AGES for Teksoft to get this software running (I guess android has been the priority for them lately).
Works OK on my HD2 3.14 official wwe ROM, although probs encountered whilst on the home screen (weather animation on) or viewing videos. Also doesn't always track screen rotation (Youtube app for one, although does using IE).
Hi everyone !
As "happy" owners already know - Xperia X2 does NOT have/support Bluetooth rSAP (remote SIM access) profile therefore it can't be paired with any modern car build in audio hands free systems.
I've try already all of proposed (for X1) solutions but unfortunatelly noone worked. All described in the forum BT_SAP.cab's have installed succesfully, afterwards I have pair it with my Mercedes Benz SAP V3 - yes 16 digit code is accepted but afterwards when they try to pair you get message on the X2 screen: "Connection Failed. Please try again when phone is ready!"
Any suggestions ?
Anyone help pls ?

Thanks your effort man! Unfortunately it didn't work - it's NOT Bluetooth rSAP as well. Bluetooth rSAP profile "borrows" phone SIM card ID to the car Audio hands free kit and phone goes in stand by mode...
All NOKIA's have it, also HTC (Windows Mobile), iPhone, SAMSUNG have it etc etc... but SE no - may be X2 is targeted specially for users who don't drive cars ... unfortunately for me - it wasn't written in user manual, so I bought it by mistake...
Anyone help pls ? C'mon guys - somebody must find the solution for this...
Xperia X1 used Texas Instruments Single Chip Bluetooth as far as I remember.
I read somewhere Xperia X2 is using a new Qualcomm (? not 100% sure) Single Chip Bluetooth.
That seems to be the reason that previously used rSAP cabs don't work on X2.
So we need to find somebody who knows if any HTC phone or other WM6.5 phone is using such Qualcomm single chip bluetooth.
HTC's HD2 or Touch Pro2 for instance is using a Broadcom bluetooth...That would not work either I guess.
Anyone find a solution ? c'mon guys, some of you are smart enough and ca do it...

Same for me .... I need the rSAP functionality, together with reading contact informations via bluetooth, so that phone numbers of contacts show in the carkit.

Business offer: If someone can make the damn cab fixing Bluetooth rSAP functionality - it can post it on Windows Mobile Marketplace and make a LOT of money -c'mon guys, somebody do something...
i face the same problem with sony ericsson mw600 and i solve it with this applciation :
JETware
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
i have cracked version if you need it i will search in my PC and get it back to you
That looks like a really good application ... especially if it allows using voice dialing with the X2 ...
Anyone tried it on an X2? Waiting for a fully functioning version ...
try this
wait your feedback
NOTHING Works for Bluetooth with X2!
Have to say that this does NOT work either! Nothing works so far! Sound is just not routed through the bluetooth...no matter what!
Even if you have the wired set plugged in, sometimes sounds still come out of the speaker rather, ie. camera sound!
Nothing will connect to the bluetooth, no voice commander, no voice command, not nothing... the only time the sound connects is during a regular phone call (if the bluetooth stays connected that is ;-)
If anybody has a PROOVEN solution.... kindly let's hear

we are talking about X2(!) not X1 here!
What is your posting mean???
We are talking about the X2(!), not the X1. That is in regards to the Bluetooth Situation -among other things- A TOTAL DIFFERENT ISSUE!
With my X1 all worked perfectly fine. With my X2 now, NOT!
So I don't understand you posting....
