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

can somebody please email it to mack AT netcom.no ?
(the download URL does not work)
hi,
I have look high & low for it.
can i have the bt upgrade too? my email [email protected]
and that there is of the option of the BT dial up modem??
for when they will troubleshoot this.

Here's the file
I tried it on my HTC Himalaya. It wouldn't play any sound, not even callers voice. I had to hard reset the unit.
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?
[email protected]
Thanks!
has anyone bought a copy yet and tried it on the pda yet ,as i have a xda2i and as it not on teh compatable list i'm hesatent to buy a copy as yet ,all i wanna know does it all work ok
thanks
XDA 2i (M1500) + TT6
Andy,
Yup - the two seem fine together.
I've been running TT6 for a week now and all is well - the new maps are excellent.
I wasn't aware that the XDA 2i wasn't on the TT list, but all I can say is so far, so good!
Hope this helps

Isn't your tomtom 6 very slow?
It's terrible on my mda pro!
Regards,

Schmia,
TT6 is fine on the 2i running very smoothly, but as with all of the previous versions I have found that it slows dramatically if you have the POIs showing as you drive.
The only POIs have active are Gatzo's etc.
Hope this helps
Snappy
cheers for info ....i might just get it just for the new maps then as i will have no buddies with tt6 so thats a waist and my mate bought his before this buddy stuff was out on the go's
GPS reciever / XDA11i
Hey guys/ gals
Which GPS reciever did you go for ? Im looking at a blue tooth one .
Also , how have you arranged the voice to be loudenough to hear ? plug in loudspeaker ? or combined with GPS ??
Seems like a mine field to me.

I bought the TomTom II BT GPS unit. Works very well.
I also have a ARKON powered PDA mount - it has two USB ports to provide power to your PDA and another device, a 5v jack for power to a BT GPS and an audio input to connect your PDA to amplify the sound. It works very well. Sorry can't remember the model number (?CM720). It comes supplied with cables for the audio, GPS power and USB-XDA (you specificy PDA model when ordering). Neat windscreen mount - recommended.
I use the Holux CR-100 GPS cradle which charges my XDA 2i, provides GPS and has a built in speaker which you can connect the 2i to. Only thing is that the phone MUST be in flight mode or the interferance from the radio stack on the speaker is blooming awful.
Other than that highly recommended.
Using TT6 on an Orange M1500, works OK but have an issue with BT headsets dropping out and not able to discover their services again until full reset. I am trying it out again with iGo software to see if the problem is just with TT6, have a Bluenext BT GPS device.
trblay,
I had the same issues with TT6 on the M1500 but managed to solve them by editing the install cab file to omit the BT stack upgrade.
For some reason the M1500 doesn't like anything other than the original stack to be installed.
- works a treat now with the phone talking to my Parrot BT car kit whilst using TT6
The phone POI function in TT6 really is a joy to use... call any destination (usually a Pub) and book a table for lunch... easy!
Hope this helps
Cool Thanks Snappy-xda, bet you know what my next question is going to be how do I edit the install cab file???
Also have you managed to get full 6/7 digit postcodes to work? I can only get the first 3/4 digits to work so gave up and rolled back to TT5....also I have loads of favourites programmed in and no way to transfer them to TT6....
Cheers Again,
Tony.
It works fine, But it has issues with the Bluetooth Driver...
If you have a bluetooth headset, it has problem connecting it after the TT6 install...
It will only work after a hard reset!
@Snappy-xda
Would you please explain how to edit the cab install to omit the bluetooth stack update as this stops my handsfree working after installing Nav 6. I had to revert to Nav 5.

1. download WinCE CAB Manager 2.0.0.13 from here http://downloads.cnet.co.uk/0,39100207,39183699s,00.htm. 15 free use trail but you'll only need to use it once
2. make a backup of the tomtom 6 cab file just in case
3. then open the tomtom 6 cab file in the CAB Manager
4. on the left side panel click on files which displays the files in the cab and the install path of the file etc.
5. then delete from the list ttn6bt2003.dll, BtCoreIf.dll, BtSdkCE30.dll (these are the files i deleted from the cab and seems to work fine, not sure what the heck each does lol)
6. click save and upload the new cab file with the omitted files to you xda and install as per normal.
tested on my xda IIi and my xda II and works fine...
haven't tried too see if i can use the headset and my GPS at the same time yet but i hear you can't since the xda is bluetooth 1.1 or something and you can only use one bluetooth device at a time.
i use a globalsat bt-359, VERY good receiver IMO. i can get a signal inside my house! 7 satellites! and my tomtomGO500 doesn't even get a signal in the house.
@ironfin
Thanks - will try this.
I use a Globalsat BT338 and it's superb. I already had a TTGO700 before I got the XDA IIi so that's the only time I use the handsfree - don't need handsfree and Nav6 to work at the same time as I usually only use Nav6 on the XDA when I'm not in my own car.
Thanks.
artful
@ironfin
Works perfectly now - Thanks.
artful
thanks, works perfect now - i can make calls on my bluetooth parrot carkit while getting navigated by tomtom 6 using my bluetooth gpslim
gps receiver.
Big Thanks....
Thanks ironfin, I will give it a try.
Anyone managed to get 6/7 digit postcodes to work? I can only get TT6 to recognize 3/4 digits.....
Also is there any way to transfer favourites from TT5-TT6, i've had a look on this forum but cannot find anything that helps.
my postcodes work fine. make sure you have the file named 'zip' in the 'Navigator' folder within 'Program Files'

You are a star mate - my xdaIIi now works with both tt6 and bluetooth headset -- note - i have a tomtom bluetooth gps - tt6 does not see it as a tt6 blutooth gps reciever - so u need to configure ( mine was com 6 ) as other bluetooth devices . and bingo ! - it works -
all cred to ya ...... weby
I need help too...
I have Tom Tom on mmc card but my Gps receiver wont connect. I always get 'no gps device' message although my device is connected. the red light begins by flashing but then stays on constant. (is this relevant?).
My incoming beams box is already unchecked.
I have XDA 2i and would like exact step by step instructions how to get my GPS to work... (I'm a new user - it took me one hour to set a song as my ring tone - so imagine how long this is taking!) I feel like I have tried absolutely everything and its really starting to drive me crazy. All I want is sat nav.
Thanks.....
XDAIIi GPS problem
Chicken,
what version of TT are u using?
what gps receiver?
If it's TT3.x, 4.x, or 5.x (don't know v6 yet), first you'll need to pair your receiver with your XDA. Go to Bluetooth Manager->Tools->Paired Devices. Here (if it's not there already) tap on Add and then tap on search icon (next to Device: field). It will search for any bluetoothdevices in range. Once it finds your GPS receiver, enter the passkey (provided with the receiver, usually 0000) and tap ok. The GPS receiver should be installed.
Start TT, go to Change Preferences and browse to Show GPS Status. Here, tap on Configure, choose your GPS device (I guess it will be Other Bluetooth GPS), click on Select (if prompted for pairing the GPS with PDA just tap on Continue) and choose the port. It'll be one of the bluetooth serial ports (it's COM6 in my case). Make sure that the receiver is still on and bluetooth active and watch the GPS status. If there is No GPS device! message on the top go back to configuration and change to another port.
If still no luck go to your XDA Start->Settings->Connections->Beam, make sure the Receive all incoming beams is not selected. If still no joy, you'll need to test all the connections, check if you can 'see' the receiver with another bluetooth device ez mobile phone, than do the same with your PDA. You can also reset the GPS receiver (check the manual), you can also do it by removing the battery from it and leave it like this overnight...
Good luck!
can you recommend a good GPS receiver?
Hi Robsonix.
Thanks for your reply. I got stuck at the first stage though - but was relieved to find out I'm not a complete dummy as this is what I had already tried - but failed. I cannot get my GPS to pair up with my bluetooth. My phone cannot find it.
I bought my receiver on Ebay. its just a wire thing that connects through my cig lighter to my phone. It didnt come with any instructions!! I think its a little dodgy. Can you recommend a proper one?
I'm not sure what tom tom it is, I think 5?? But actually I havent a clue.
I cant check if the receiver works with another phone as it only has connections for the xda 2i.
Thanks for your help - I hope u can help me some more.....
any recommendations??
Chiken
ha ha. Never mind - I think I've found the problem. I'm such a thicko!! It takes two to tango right? I'm such a thicko...

SPV 1500 "Alpine" TT5 with GPS receiver
I've just joined this Forus following the aquisition of an Orange SPV which is now unlocked to run on T-Mobile. I have also used an MDA Compact II (Charmer?) successfully for the past year.
Like this current thread originator "chicken" (and no doubt many others) have had difficulty running my Holox BT-321 BT sat receiver with TT5. It pairs OK, but I TT5 cannot "see" the device, even though I have selected just about every Com device available.
I recently bought a wired sat receiver (just like chicken did), and thought this would work better. However, TT5 will not see this device either!
Can someone tell me how I can check which Com port is active on the PDA, or check if there is an input stream coming in from the sat receiver?
This is getting bloody frustrating now. My old Nokia 6600's worked first time out of the box!
Thanks
Peter (with the Aprilia Falco 1000)
I've recently purchased a BT-359 bluetooth GPS receiver. It looks sweet -- and it'll look even sweeter once its little blue light is blinking quickly indicating that its paired with my Treo 750.
I strongly believe the issue lies with the MS bluetooth stack, and I very much want to upgrade to the Broadcom / Widcomm stack. There are very active boards in all the other phone forums talking about porting a version of this vastly superior stack to their hardware platforms -- I'd like to make this the call for someone to do the same for the Treo 750. Better yet, I'd like to add this thread as a call to Broadcom to charge each of us $20 for something that should have been included in our phones in the first place - I'll hapily pay it.
If anyone has any ideas for getting the Braodcom / Widcomm stack working on a Treo 750 then please post it here. My entire day of internet searching has me confident that there are many Treo 750 users who will appreciate it.
I'll post my sob story below - happy hacking.
As I mentioned above (in the opening post of ths thread) I've got a vested interest in finding a way to get the Broadcom / Widcomm stack onto my Treo 750.
Alright, I've now submitted a support ticket to GlobalSat (they only do "selective" telephone support). I've also tried several other work arounds that have necessitated several hard resets of my device. I'll list a few of the solutions I've tried below, so that other frustrated users can hopefully save themselves a few steps (and headaches). Before I start this, i've got to give a plug for Sprite Backup which has made the process of trail and error bearable. I've got several work apps installed (most painfaully mNotes) which are a chore to re-configure. I'm glad that Sprite was around to restore my handheld after each of these solution attempts. Things I tried:
1. From Aximsite, I installed the Broadcom Bluetooth StackX51V05.cab -- I tried this file first because it had worked for several Dell Axim users trying to pair the same BT-359. It was also attractive to me because it provided me a path out of the MS bluetooth stack and into the Broadcom / Widcomm bluetooth stack, while also offering an uninstall option. The program installed easily, I made a couple registry tweaks suggested at Axim site, and I performed a soft reset. When the phone re-booted, i received a error informing me that I didn't have enough driver memory to load the Bluetooth Radio. I downloaded a task manager and turned off everything I could, all to no avail. Finally, I had a hunch that perhaps the Axim bluetooth was operating on a different hardware COM port, so I tried setting the registry settings for the new Broadcom driver to 0 through 9 (rebooting after each setting change) to see if that would work. In the end, nothing worked. I did get access to the broadcom interface and I can definitively say that there are far more options available in that driver than in the MS driver. I can also say that, from what I read, consensus is that the braodcom driver is far superior to the MS driver.
2. Next, from this site (XDA developers), I tried the BBS_HERMES_03.zip, and the Helmi_Hima_BroadComm_1.7.6.0500.ZIP both of which have been developped by Hemli_c who is aparently the god of this stuff. Both yielded control panels that looked similar to the Axim site solution, however neither of them worked - they both gave the same memory error. I played around with many more registry settings here trying to get them to work, again, without any luck. These were the most detailed instructions I found - I'm happy to give tips to anyone trying to better my results. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285696
3. Next, I became very interested about the WM6 "cooked roms" which are available on XDA. Now this is where I really wish the Treo folks were more geeky (or I had the time to figure it out myself). The other hardware platforms all have SEVERAL WM6 implimentations cooked up, each touting the best mix of CAB add-ons (including the broadcom bluetooth driver). I downloaded Helmi_c's, but it wouldn't work on my Treo (I did learn that to get into bootloader mode on the 750, you need to hold the side button while you press the reset button inside the SD card door). This was a bit of a nerve racking procedure, as I was convinced Sprite couldn't bail me out of that mess -- i was half thankful when the ROM refused to load (although I am excited to get WM6 loaded on my phone).
4. Finally, I sent another support request to GlobalSat in hopes that I'd get a response. I'm very excited to get this toy working, and this messing around is finally starting to get past the fun stage, to the genuinely annoying stage. I'm actually starting to think that I might not be able to get it to work (at first I just thought it'd be a challenge that would be kind of fun).
If anyone has any questions, or suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.
I'll post again as I find out more.
I don't know that I can help any technically, but you have my moral support. The MS bluetooth stack is horrible and a constant source of headaches for me. Thanks for all of the effort and thanks for posting all of your information. Even if, in the end, you don't manage to slay the beast you have at least earned yourself a happy face sticker from me ;-)
I use the widcomm stack on my axim X51v and it is indeed superior to the ms stack.
It would be great to use it on my treo.
It is so much better and with a lot more options.
My skills about these things are close to zero, but you do have my moral support too.
First of all, an update on USGlobalSat... they aren't winning any points so far. In response to my query about their GPS receiver not pairing with my Treo 750 I got the following response:
Thank you for contacting USGlobalsat's online care. In reply, we recommend a 72 hour battery removal allowing the device to reset. In many cases, this action corrects many performance abnormalities. If problems continue, then proceed by contacting the original reseller requesting a product replacement.
Now onto some more positive news. I had some temporary success with one of Helmi's Bluetooth stacks for the Universal. The specific file I loaded was either UNIBR176.0500.zip or UNSIGN_UNI1.7.6.0500.zip.. I'm not sure which (I'll post again with the exact process).
The process and files worked perfectly for about 18 glorious hours. My GPS paired, my stereo headset paired, and everything seemed to be working perfectly. The next morning, everything was still working perfectly. When I went to leave work (and use my GPS to find a restaurant), I couldn't power on the bluetooth radio. Whenever I clicked on the bluetooth button, I once again got the "insufficient driver memory to start bluetooth radio" error. I hadn't added or modified anything since the night before (I was afraid to mess anything up).
I have just returned from dinner and am in the process of restoring a Sprite backup (which I love) and will try to recreate my success. I'll report back tonight, and again in 24hrs -- hopefully this time the solution is longer lasting.
I have been trying to get this to work on my trinity--any tips would be welcome.
Frustratingly, I'm back to getting the memory error below. Even if I hard reset, and JUST load up the bluetooth driver (none of my other apps) it no longer works. It must have been a complete fluke that it worked for those 18hrs. I'm going to try again tonight - recording my steps exactly - in hopes that it either works, or that someone can pinpoint my error.
I am fairly sure that the fact that this installation was designed for another device isn't helping me get this working - hopefully I'll stumble across the solution.
I got the hermes version installed ok but it would never pair or detect a bluetooth device. you can get around the memory error by cleaning out your today plugins and getting SK tools. Use the SK tools to stop cprog.exe, then compact heaps and free memory.
ok, I've made some progress and will try and summarize here (sorry for the slow reply). These things are listed in this order for a reason, if I don't do them in order, then the driver won't load:
Hard Reset Palm
Install mNotes (to device)
Install Google Maps (to storage card)
Install Sprite Backup (greatest program ever) (to storage card)
Install Braodcom Bluetooth Stack (see procedure and file location above) (to device)
If I install Google after I install the bluetooth stack, I get the out of memory error (and I couldn't correct it using SDK tools). Also, this setup is kind of finicky about soft resets, occasionally the bluetooth driver won't load, but this is resolved by simply resetting the device.
Things that don't work (that did work under old stack):
Bluetooth Activesync
Voice calls through my sony stereo bluetooth headset
Things that now work that didn't work before
My bluetooth GPS receiver now works
Stereo quality from MP3s is vastly improved (noticeably)
Hopefully someone will come up with a Broadcom stack designed specifically for the Treo 750 - I'd pay for it.
If ayone else has any tips, please post here.
Thanks,
Gavin
I've yet to get the stack to work at all. I have hard reset, installed the stack, used sktools, but no luck. Did you do any other tweaking?
Bump...hoping to hear back on this. I've tried repeatedly and get the same results. I also noticed that it knocks out my microphone on the phone so I cant even make calls when I install the widcomm stack. I swear I am going to chuck this 750 and get an 8525.
Same result as gmctavish
Stack worked great until suddenly radio could not load. I tried installing in safe mode but I get the same results. Maybe if you use a 3rd party task manager and stop the BT service and then install this it will work? I'm going to try.
Very intermittent but when it works it works good.
I had success adding some functionality by using http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
I used it to allow phonebook and call log transfer to another application...Streetdeck (streetdeck.com).
I now can use my car pc to dial/receive calls.
sorry this response took a while. I did not do any tweaking beyond what I described above. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
I've been working with the Broadcom stack installed for almost two months now - I have several ups and downs I can report.
The Good
The driver itself loads after 90% of hard resets (when it doesn't load, another hard reset gets it to load -- this is strange)
My Bluetooth GPS receiver works (the original reason for me trying to use the stack
My stereo headset works for listening to music and TV shows
I've got a bunch of software installed and I'm not getting out of memory errors (mNotes, google maps, tom tom, bee line, TCPMP, Sprite Backup, PDAnet)
Association/Discovery is UBER painless, I turn on the headset or the GPS receiver and they pair with the phone without any fuss.
No dropped connections
The Bad
Listening to the bluetooth headset with the bluetooth GPS receiver connected and feeding data to either tom tom or google maps is unbearable - 50% of the music is dropped
Activesync over bluetooth doesn't work
I haven't been able to get the phone paired with my computer to use the phone as a bluetooth modem (using junefabrics PDAnet)
My stereo bluetooth headset works fine for audio (some skipping and not great sound, but it works)... however it no longer works for making calls - as soon as I try and make a call it is dumbed to the handheld.
Hey Guys,
it seems a bit like a stupid question (and maybe it is) but how do a actually connect my s730 to a ... lets say GPS Bluetooth receiver?
I read the manual ... I got the two devices paired.
Everythings fine. Until it says that I am connected to the receiver. The problem is, I am not. At least the receiver says so.
Until last week a had a Asus P525 (WM5 PPC). It was no problem to get a connetion. I paired the devices ONCE, activated BT and chose connect on the paired device everytime I needed it. Unlike WM5 PPC there is nothing like "connect now" anywhere. It seems like I have to re-pair the devices everytime. But that can't be right.
Thanks in advance,
Samuel
With some GPS programs, after you have paired, you need to create a com port over the connection. Did you do this?
With Tomtom 5.2, you do not need that. It just finds the device as soon as it is paired.
Hope that helps
I have TomTom 6 installed. And it says that I have to connect the device. On my WM5 PPC I used Navigon MobileNavigator 6 and had no problems at all. MN|6 found the device itself. Maybe its TomTom which causes the problems.
Sorry I can't help. Since I learned that TT6 was not suported on smartphones, I gave up any plan on upgrading. 5.2 is enough for me.

Did you disable Bluetooth explorer?
@phailo
Yes, it is disabled. I tried Efficasoft's GPS Utilities and these CAN connect to the receiver ... and get a lock.
What bothers me, is that there seems to be no real bluetoth manager on the s730. It would be great to get the Broadcom Bluetooth Manager to work.
