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.
I'm having the same problem for a week now...
I was on the street with my BA making calls and all went Ok. I use it for my work, so I do lots of calls a day. Suddenly, I realized, when I call, that the other can not hear me, nor can I hear them! The counter is running, the screen says "Connected". I haven't done anything to change the configuration, nor it have dropped it from my pocket.
I'¡m getting crazy. I don't know what I've done wrong.
Things tried unsuccessfully: Crying or Very sad
-Lots of device resets..... Between tryes and Updates.
- Reinstalled WM5 using a different ROM. Now I have TM 1.3. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42632]
- Upgraded Radio to 1.15 (previously, I had 1.13)
- Used a Bluetooth headset. It worked, I could hear the sound from the phone, at least. Only thru the bluetooth headphone. Still, I could not hear any phone-sound from the loudspeaker when I turned off the headphone and the bluetooth headset were disabled, even with the Bluetooth signal ON, as suggested on other post. Each try with a new call. The weird thing is that I CAN hear the loudspeaker when I hear music or the system sounds... :?
- "Installed" the Unidirectional patch (copied the AudioGW.dll file over the old one successfully, reset, etc..)
- Turned off the device and leave it off for a while. Take off the SIM card, touch it (cosmic vibrations Embarassed) Sometimes, before, the SIM card went a little nuts if I resetted the device too much -maybe Confused- or if I got the battery off...
- Last, I've downgraded to the latest WM2003 ROM. Formatted the Storage Space and resseted the Registry Hive. No change. All else is working.
My options are finishing ....
Sorry if this has been posted before, but, at this point, when I've been tried almost (I think) everything, i couldn't find anything relevant using search.
Please, any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Maybe I can use at least a link to another thread..
Thanks
try downgrade your RADIO to 1.13
I've allready upgraded to 1.15 because of this problem. Anyway, I've downgraded just now and nothing same problem..... also: I can not get the handsfree-loudspeaker mode (pressing the "call" button for a while). Just nothing happens
Let's hope mamaich or other cracks read this post
Thanks for ur answer

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ((
ow... DONT PANIC !!! try flashing once again ... including ROM & RADIO
Rom & Radio flashed again. At no avail
I've used, lastly, the "standard" Rom posted on I-mate website (www.clubimate.com) [ROM: 1.40.00 WWE; Radio: 1.12.00; Protocol: 1337.42], just to checkout and everything (regarding this problem) remains the same.
I've, however, noticed that, before, when I used the volume slider up, first the PDA-volume went up, later the phone-volume. Now it only fully moves up the PDA-volume. I think this have something to do...
Again: Please, help me!!!
Thanks for your answer!!

Still the same after 3 flashing sessions
Two days ago, I've sent an e-mail to I-Mate. They have answered me yesterday telling me to hard-reset :?:evil: and if that doesn't work, to send the device to France or Portugal for fixing. Here on Spain there's no place where to send it.
I think it should be a software problem (maybe) that's why I'm asking help here.. Also, the problem with the volume slider up only occurs on W2003, not on WM5
What should I do??
Anyone?? HELLOO?
i've had this problem for a long time, and tried so many different patches non worked, but there is a way to deal with this issue u need to keep ur bluetooth on all da time or remove the file BTTrayCE from this directory
Mydevice>windows>start up
and copy this file to ur storage card if later u want to use ur Bluetooth so wat removing of this file does is that the icon in of bluetooth in tray bar will not appear automatically after u restart ur machine .
hope this helps
At no avail , but many thanks anyway.
I've seen this solution on other posts and I've tried it before. Without luck
Even the 'bluetooth on all the time' alternative. Without luck
Also, I'm now on TuMa 1.3 (WM5). The file relative to bluetooth on the startup folder is "BTIcon", wich I have moved as you stated. Without luck
Maybe the file you tell is for WM2003 ?? Could it be? Is the file named 'BTTrayCE' on WM2003 and 'BTIcon' on WM5?
I'm really desperate.

umm yeah i'm sorry, mine is running WM2003, maybe u should try downgrading to 2003 as well since i've done it and now i'm having less problems, i really don see much of advantage in using 2005, good luck.
ok here is a patch that is supposed to fix this problem but hasn't worked on mine, i just attach it here it might work on urs, or u might already have used it.
Sometime back, I had come across a post on a similar problem. I think what you have is a erratic headphone jack..I believe there is a micro (?)switch in there which connects headset and disconnects speakerphone.
I had a similar problem sometime back, and just put the headphone jack in there, jiggled it a bit and it started working. basically released the switch. your symptoms point to a similar problem...does not have anything to do with Radio ROM. Has not given me problem since then
here you go..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33207
Yup, I've seen this forum before. If it has to do with a headphone problem, then It shouldn't be heard anytime, and I CAN hear music and such from the device when it isn't in a call. Anytime I put the device on the "call" state (dialing, connected, hold, etc..) the sound goes out. :-S
So, it should not be a headphones problem.... should it??

OK, I've tried, for nth time, going back to WM2003SE (112 T-Mobile) and applying the unidirectional patch I've found here (I think is the same posted on the I-mate site I've tested before) and NOTHING changes...
Still the same problem.
Any clues?
hi !
try like me... in bt setting-->accessibility-->disable all access options..
to me this little trick cut off every problems on use the phone....
hi
OK, I'll give a try :? (Again going to WM2003, as I think is that what you have right?)
No Sound on BA
Hi there. Have pda2k, rom-1.40.00, radio-1.12.00. Have previously lost sound during call. Can be heard but cannot hear. Phone have been exchanged under warrantee, but new phone developed same problem after using BT to connect with PC. Currently I turn on the speakerphone in order to converse. Any help?
Re: No Sound on BA

I also have a similar problem - when in phone mode, other side can hear me but i cannot hear them, if i plug a headset with microphone the other side hear me and i also have sound from other side.
if i unplug the headset, i cannot hear the other side but the other side can hear me.
are there microswitches inside the headset plug for both microphone and speaker (two microswitches) ?
thanks, yol.
I have spent every nights of the last month to find a solution to the bluetooth problem (it turns off when the device turns on, so the headset is unusable) and.... I GOT IT!
This is a test version. I publish it so I can receive some feedbacks. If these will be positive, I'll release a definitive version.
How to install:
Copy the new bthuart.dll in a temporary location (where you want, but NOT in Windows)
Turn off the bluetooth
Remove the device from cradle
Make a soft reset
Move/copy the new bthuart.dll in the “\WINDOWS” directory overwriting the original
Turn on the bluetooth
Connect the headset
Enjoy!
NOTE: if you receive a message that is not possible to overwrite the file, try to repeat the steps above again.
Try to turn off and on the device as many times you want, the headset must stay connected.
There's a drawback with this solution:
When the bluetooth is on, the device turns on after a random time. Now that the BT is always on, the device resumes many times in a day. To prevent an excessive battery consumption, modify the options to turn off the backlight and the power as soon as possible. Consider to lock the device when not used with the “Device lock” today's plugin.
I have tested it with TuMa 1.3, but should work with every WM05 version.
If anyone is interested in technical details, let me know and I'll post a detailed description here (or would be better a Wiki page?)
[EDIT 2006/06/02] Scroll down in this page and download the CAB made by Tuatara.
I guess I'll be the first to try. I'll let you know how it does. Also can you post more tech info about what you found and how you went and changed?

BT Finally fixed - See new post
Firstly we have to be clear on turning off blue tooth. You need the red line through the icon so after a soft reset the blue tooth does not turn back on.
Secondly I found no matter what I tried, I could not overwrite the DLL on the unit itself. However, After turning off the BT properly as described above and resetting the PDA, I was able to copy the new version over the top of the old one by exploring the device from explorer in active sync while in the cradle. And yes it does actually appear to work! The blue tooth no longer turns off.
I am also using Tuma 1.3 currently on an XDA iis. It would be great if Tuatara could encorporate this file into 1.5 due out soon.
I will place a copy of this post with a copy of the file in the 1.3 forum. I hope you don't mind.
Regards,
Simon

BigMike has been working on this for WEEKS now, and has been communicating with me about this. In truth I was actually hoping to have v1.5 done, so that BigMike could incorporate it into v1.5, and all of his hard work would be the HIGHLIGHT of the ROM release!
BigMike deserves ALL the credit for this!
And absolutely ... it will be in TuMa v1.5! I'll also be working on the power management related issues - to keep the power drain in the device as low as possible. This may mean little 'tweaks' like the backlight might take a moment to come on when the unit rings, or other 'small' details, but I'll see what can be done and let you know the results.
I'll be testing this as well tonight!
I haven't had a chance to test this, but here's a CAB file installer which should avoid the issues of stopping/locking/copying the file. It may ask you to reboot your device to complete the copy instead.
Let me know if this works! Again, all kudos to bigmike for this!!!
Italians do it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: (i'm italian so i'm joking)
Great Bigmike finally my BA it's the best choice......
I'm really happy now. Really thanks to everybody...... that works for our BA..... really really thanks.
thanks a lot, let me try it with tuma1.4
I installed the cab posted by Tuatara and it works fine. Using v1.3. Thanks bigmike and Tuatara.
Grazie
Grandissimo!!!
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
congratulations to BigMike and all developers here!!!!
I just don't konw how is it about other ROMs? I have Ivans v4 r2.1 and I don't know how is BT made in this ROM - is it same as TuMa? Is this patch usable for Ivans ROM?
Maybe stupid question but I really don't know
Thank you, Martin
ps: what about TuMa 1.5??? Will it be as fast as Ivan's? Sorry for that question - I did not try any TuMa ROM - I just read somewhere here, that Ivan's ROM is faster.. I did not try it..
Will it be easy to "upgrade" to TuMa 1.5 from Ivan's?
Also working on TuMa 1.4. Thanks!!
now if I could just get sddialer to actually launch when I press BT headset button =(. the phone app starts instead, even though reg path points to sddialer.exe

It's only usable on the Microsoft Stack based ROM from Ivan (the older ones I believe, and on the Original mamaich BA which Ivan's is based on), NOT on the newer ROMs which have the Widcomm stack. Installing the CAB file on that ROM will have no effect. It should also be entirely usable on ANY TuMa version from 1.0 to 1.4 without issue.

TuMa v1.4 is as fast (probably faster in the long run, since it won't suffer from slowdown with continued use). This same performance will be applied to TuMa v1.5, although I've made the filesystem more robust, since there have been a few cases of lost data with v1.4's speed tweaks.
Speed is NOT the primary concern of the TuMa v1.5 ROM ... for this and all previous ROMs (barring maybe v1.4), the focus has ALWAYS been on stability over performance. But I think we've got BOTH features now, and with Bigmike's BT Fix, we're going to be getting close to that 'PERFECT ROM'.
Again ... 3 cheers for Bigmike!
THANK YOU BIGMIKE! One of the biggest issues is solved....... (now tle laggy hw keyboard remains )
I just want to say thanks to bigmike for hes good job
Fantastic job ... works a treat on TuMa 1.3. As an added bonus, it seems to have cured my battery draining problem as well?! Anyone else noticed this?
Worked perfect :lol:BIGMIKE THNKS
Hi,
Where can I get this new .dll from?

Hi,
Please ignore last message I found it. My browser didnt display the download for some reason.

Hi,
Every time I turn on the BT, when I Turn off de pda, after 2 minutes the pda is on again.
There is any way to solve this issue?
REgards
Qtek 9090
VM5
i have the same problem
The same with Magician. When you have an active connection (like your headset is connected), the MS BT stack always powers on your PDA.
I had a magitian (qtek s110) ppc2003 and it didn't happen.
I don't know if it was because I install the bt_com_port.cab and bthtools

Sounds like.
For the BA, can you change this behavior?
This is a known issue. I do not mean to be rude, but there is a nice topic READ ME before posting questions, and there are also the ROM threads, and countless other threads about this subject. It's not a bug, it's a feature! From BigMike's BT patch, which has this little side effect. Search the site and read the threads to find out more about it...
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
