Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the caller id name, I know there's another thread on that.
When I got my 8010 back in October I paired it, and my name showed up on the display. I assumed this came from the "owner information" I entered on the Athena since that was the only place I had typed my name in.
Earlier this week I finally got around to upgrading the radio (to 1.57) and in the process I reinstalled the factory ROM. When I paired the 8010, this time it showed "HTC_Advantage" as the display name. Odd, since I had put my own name in the "owner information", like before. I searched some registry keys related to bluetooth and don't see where this is coming from.
I tried pairing it again, and now the display name is completely blank.
So, here's the question: where does the display name come from so I can put it back the way I want it?
You're absolutely right about the origin of the pairing name,it
is derived from the owner info page.
I read on another of your posts that you recently reflashed
your Advantage and I did a hard reset after which the pairing
also read HTC_Advantage I had to reset the info but then it
still read HTC_Advantage until soft reset now it reads info name.
Still no-go for me. I verified my name in the owner information panel, deleted the pairing on the Athena and on the 8010, soft-resetted, re-paired, soft-resetted again and still I get a blank display name...
Try actually deleting the pairing from your phone. That's what works for me on my Titan when I want to change the display, but YMMV. You can also try flashing to a newer firmware on your 8010. When I updated to new firmware on my phone the amount of characters from the owner info line that would display dropped. That display thing is just to look cool anyway

Tried that, on both units. I may try to upgrade the 8010 this weekend to see if that helps. I think its still on verion 1.36 so there must be something newer now.

In my experience, the display on my bluetooth carstereo will show the device name (settings/system/about/id) unless I set owner information, then it will show the owner information
hope that helps

I have something set in settings/system/about/id, but of course even that was not showing on the Jabra display. But I did notice the description (just below the device ID) was blank. So I added my name there, deleted the pairing on both devices, and re-paired.
And my name was back on the display. So it seems to be pulling the name from the device ID > description! Can anyone else confirm that the description shows up on their device?

Hey, someone sent me this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5802839981
From first glance, it totally looks like a hoax. However, is it possible that someone figured out a way to rewrite the ROM to replace the BT stack?? And why would it require the IMEI number?? I have some serious doubts, but I'd like to hear some others informed opinnions.
-Chris
Looks like a hoax. They do have 99 feedback, but then that probably means someone probably just hacked their account. :roll:
Here is the main wording from the ad, it I notice that nobody has bought one of these yet so no feedback on whether it works. Why would it be emailed to the phone if it is a zip file, it would make more sense to send it by normal email. I think the imei may be a protection device to prevent you using the patch on other phones, the patch will probably work only with that specific imei number.
It's very simple to install this. Just include your your IMEI number from your Siemens Cingular SX66 in the notes field when you make the paypal payment and I will configure and email you a specific update for your phone. To lookup your IMEI, just type *#06# on your phone. When you get my update, unzip the file and upload it to your cell phone memory. use the folder/file viewer on the phone to click on the file. This will install the update. Then unplug your battery for a few seconds, plug it in again and your update will be complete. Then remove any bluetooth settings, delete any profiles, delete any paired BT devices and rescan and pair your BT headset. It's that simple. This update takes about 10 seconds normally. I have never seen any loss of data or any other errors due to this update
Here are some quotes from the Cingular forum (where I found about this patch) on this topic http://forums.cingular.com/cng/board/message?board.id=siemens&message.id=10667 (at the end of the page)
From the author: arikinthecity
It has nothing to do with the wireless.
I am selling a software update the I created for the SX66. The problem is not with the headset that you are buying. It is with the bluetooth software on the SX66. Siemens doesn't want to spend the time and money to fix the problem. They will not even discuss it. They don't care. The reason is that they don't sell enough. This model will be replaced with another model soon and Siemen's will just move on. So will Cingular. That's why I got sick and tired of waiting and I created an update.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5802839981
Now you can buy the same update and install it on your phone in a few minutes. I'm selling the update on ebay.

Well, I just installed it. As near as I can tell with my Jabra 250 earpiece, it makes no difference. The static is certainly still there. I am pretty convinced this isn't a 'software' issue anyhow.

From the author: arikinthecity
Well that's your opinion. I know that this update fixes the SX66. I have tested it on a few SX66 and it makes a world of difference. The only earpiece I recommend is the Motrolla HS820 earpiece. Jabra BT earpieces create problems with other cell phones so I don't recommend them for the SX66. Anyway for those of you who are interested, get my upgrade. If you feel that my efforts should not be rewarded for a small amount of $5 then enjoy using your SX66 plastered to your face. It doesn't work well with any wired earpiece because it needs a stereo 3 conductor plug. It doesn't work with any BT earpiece with the regular siemen's upgrade.
If you are angry at me, your anger is misguided. I am trying to find a solution. It's Siemens that is not updating this phone properly like Audiovox, Sprint, Orange, and other brands are. HTC gives the tools to update it. They just won't bother because it costs too much.
Have a great weekend everybody. If you still want to get the update, just follow the link in my previous posts.

It's not an opinion. It's a fact. As I stated the JT250 doesn't work any better with your fix than it did before. Your unbiased and intelligent appriasal of the situation is indicated by your childish response. I was willing to blow the $5 to find out, but since you're going to insult me you can deal with the Paypal complaint.
The phone works fine with a wired earpiece. I don't know what you think the plug problem is. I have used it with my Noise Cancelling aviation headset.

There can be 2 methods how to do such a fix:
1. Buy a 1000$ SDK from Broadcomm, and make a fix. But in this case 5$ is a very little price for such work.
2. Extract the audiogw.dll from one of the extended ROMs and give this DLL as his own "fix". In this case he is taking money for a free update offered by some operator. Imate offered such an update some time ago, maybe he is selling this update.
Just post it here, I think the IMEI number is bull****.
It's a fix isn't it, what does that has to do with IMEI.
Let the guys here extract the fix to see what has changed.
Greetz,
[email protected] :?
I think Mamaich is correct....this smells...
Why does he need an IMEI number? This has NOTHING to do with BT. I think he is offering an existing upgrade that anyone can download and in the meantime make money (to make it look "real") and getting your IMEI number (so he can sell it, and make more cash).
I contacted the seller...
I described my configuration (see signature). He told me that I would not see any benefits and suggested that the patch is to an earlier configuration (actually told me not to buy it!).
He claimed the IMEI number was keyed into the copy protection scheme that he was using.
Bottom line: if you're keeping up with the updates on this board, there's probably no reason to shell out the 5 bucks on an upgrade you already have.
goestoeleven wheare can I get the upgrade you have?
It solve the BT problem?
I'm tired of looking oktions to use my bluetooth headset clearly...
I have no Bluetooth solution
it still stinks... until we get an upgraded build, we're stuck with static...
If you haven't already done so, check out the SX66 Standardization Project:
http://home.comcast.net/~sx66-blueangel/
This is probably the best you can do with what's available to us today... (waiting for WM2005)
If any of you have the problem that BT goes sleep mode and disconnects your headset, you may try this. It worked for me today. (note: this is only a workaround to prevent BT going sleep mode. This will not fix any of the BT distortion)
Click on the BT icon located at the bottom right of the today screen. Select BT Manager. Then, DON'T click on the X (Close) button of the BT Manager. Just click on the Start > Today icon. This will hide the BT Manager, but it will leave it running on the background (so this way it does not go in sleep mode). I tried this morning and my headset haven't disconnected in all day.
Hope it helps...
Just to summarise:
Tap on the BT Icon on bottom right, turn on BT, tap on the headset to activate then not click the "OK" on top right, instead "Start-Today" ??
Isn't working for me, tried it 10 times. Everytime I send the PDA into Standy and reactivate it and I tap on the BT icon it shows that the BT is not active.
daaaammmmnnnn... It looked soooo good the have a small solution for it.

after I posted that, it had worked that entire day and the next. Then at one time I did a soft reset, and followed the same steps, but sometimes it turn off the BT. So it works... sometimes.

WM5 Bluetooth A2DP
Just to share what I found...it may not be significant....
I Manage to see a Universal/O2 Exec proto device myself that Supports A2DP. It seems that MS Bluetooth Stack is not that crap afterall.
To use Bluetooth Stereo, the device has a shortcut under programs that says "Turn on Stereo HeadSet" and I have successfully paired the WM 5.0 device with my iTech S35 Stereo headset myself on the spot.
Anyway after what I saw I felt that this can be achieved on my BA WM5.
Hence, I started looking into the registry and started enabling the AudioGateway entries.......Suprise!!!! my iTech S35 was detected to have HeadSet Profile!!! But wat was missing was the Audio headset s/w......
oh yah bear in mind when I was trying the above my BA WM5 was without the "Headset today" patch.
Hey guys..
Well i want to star by saying this site is asome and alot of helpul information..
Thank you to those who work hard to help others...
Well let me start by explaning a lil of my problem that im having with this phone..
I happen to love this phone just hate the Rom that cingular or HTC has for it.. Well i have a BMW that comes with bluetooth and it shows the calls on my car screen but i know its a 100% issue with the phone that i can't access my contact to the car.. I try every other phone infact also a friend has a PDA with tmobile and that works fine.. But my Cingular 8125 just acts stupid in my car.. I when ahead and follow the intruction for the update of the rom that is posted here for the phone.. I when ahead and unlock it.. It work ok... Then i upgarded to the custom AKU 2.3 ROM which also install good.. My question is? It is the current rom version there is that has been made or there is a better one? the reason for my question cause i see that when i check the device info i see the rom itself didn't change much and its still giving me a problem with the bluetooth on my car ..
I have this as follows:
Rom Ver. 1.5.4.2 WWE
Rom Date: 11/8/05
radio ver. 02.25.11
protocol ver. 4.1.13.12
extrom ver. 2.25.11.102
Please anyone can help me.. i would be truely greaful for the help.. I been working on this for days and can't harly sleep anymore trying to fix this problem...
Also wondering why my shows the Rom Ver 1.5.4.2 when i just did the AKU 2.3 which shows the rom /radio etc should look like this:
2.25.11.1 WWE
5/11/06
RADIO 02.25.11
PROTOCOL 4.1.13.12
Ext ROM 2.25.11.102
You need to CID unlock before you try to upgrade.
Your phone is not CID unlocked.
Its there a way to confirm if its unlock or lock becuase I even have the unlock files and the lock files the software makes before doing the unlock and it rebooted phone and it said that was the confermation that the phonone would be unlock..
Well here another thing, I just took my parents Tmobile phone and put there sim card on my phone it it works.. It won't work before when it was lock..
I beleive that means its unlock.. Unless if there is another lock your speaking off and im not sure.. Im sorta new to the whole cell phone thing..
Ok it looks like i have a bit of a problem..
As per the dirrections it looks like everything thing when well with the unlocking.. The phone is unlock when i used a Tmobil Sim Card it works ...
But when i try to load the rom To 2.5.11.1
but it looks like it just gives me the 1.5.4.2 wwe then i did it again .. It tells me congratulations the phone is ready to used..
when i check the ROm ver is still the same as before..
lanceny, the SIM unlock and CID are two different unlocks. You must CID unlock to change ROM. SIM unlocks allow you use other SIM cards. CID unlock will allow you to upload different ROM.

The top portion of the copy/paste shows the SIM unlock, notice the input. The SECOND portion (lower half) is a CID unlock. To update the ROM on a Cingular 8125, which is CID locked, you will have to unlock the CID, for my particular version it was C for CID unlock. Please note - this will VOID your warranty - so do so at your own risk.

What problem are you having with the BMW car kit and your phone?
The Issue I have is that you cant scroll through the contacts with the steering wheel.
So far the only fix I have found is from www.jetwaremobile.com. After installing that I can now scroll through my contacts. When somoene calls me it shows the caller ID on the screen but it doesnt work perfectly. When someone calls me I get *me lastname meaning I get the * and a few letters of the first name then I get the full last name. I havent figured out why that has happened but at least I can make outgoing calls with the steering wheel.
Hope that helps.
I can't view the contact at all...
the phone doesn't let the car pick up my contact list...
saids contact empty.
i just updated the ROm i will let you know later today if it work or not..
with the contact
Also mengesb thank you so much that was the problem.. I fell so stupid cause i thought it was only one lock and i had done it.. I guess i was wrong and i thank you so much..
On Guys thank you all for all the help..
The new Rom its working ok...
The Problem that i first thought it would get fix with the new rom 2.25.11.1 WWE i thought it would fix on issue with the bluetooth, Well it did Not ... Still having a problem with my Cingular 8125 and getting the phone book to Syn with my BMW Bluetooth system..
For some reason the Car trys to pull the Phone Book but it still shows on the screen of the car Phone Book Empty.. Not sure what else to do and not sure if Rom 2.25.11.1 WWE is the latest there is.. If anyone knows of any newer one that may fix this issue please let me know.
And to answer the previest question.. With the issue of the stearing weel button, it doesn't work as well with me.. My caller id on the screen of the car shows the number doesn't show any name. Maybe thats because the phone book won't show out in the car to show the name that is associated witht he phone book number..
Please anyone can help me...

So far the only fix I have found is from www.jetwaremobile.com. After installing that I can now scroll through my contacts. When somoene calls me it shows the caller ID on the screen but it doesnt work perfectly. When someone calls me I get *me lastname meaning I get the * and a few letters of the first name then I get the full last name. I havent figured out why that has happened but at least I can make outgoing calls with the steering wheel.
Hope that helps.

Hey Red,
I don't use Beemer BT but I've skimmed the site you posted and just have a thought (probably nothing but what the hey).
If you are using any filters to determine what contacts are synced with your car BT make sure you don't have a typo in any of the fields..

Thanks for the input but what typos would you mean? All of my contacts are displayed like that when someone calls me. Maybe its an outlook thing as my contacts are listed in outlook lastname, first and that is how they are displayed on the phone. I did change them to first name last and I get the same result.
Suggestiions?

Yes, I done just that...
The software jetwaremobile doesn't make it work as well..
Ok the main problem i have on the BMW is that the Bluettoth doesn't allow the contact to work on the BMW screen. I can Pair with the car and all.. I can receive and make calls just find.. But i have to make the calls from the phone itself.. Because when i used the car phonebook then it tells me its empty when i have 382 contacts on the phone.. as you may know it trys to save on the phone memory not in the Sim card.. BUt not sure if thats the causing the problem. But since i install the jetwaremobile software when i click on phonebook on the BMW screen it tells me Please wait and i let it 30 minutes or more and then just freezes the whole phone part of the system.. I have to go to the back and reset the system otherwise the phone will not work again.. I try to do this numerious amount of times.. I also try to send contact one by one on pairing mode but freezes as well. I try other phones and they work in about 30 secound the contact its on the screen..
I don't mean to sound like i don't know what im doing but i know im doing it right atleast to the intructions from here hehehe
Let me know if you know any other way.. I'll try to take picture of it and post them ok.. If its ok with you...

I have added a picture.
I'm sorry if this has already been posted somewhere but I couldn't find anything on it. I finally got around to installing this on my MDA using it with the SonyEricsson's SBH-662 (or something like that). The original Voice Commander responds rather quickly but with the VC 1.6, I have to press that button on my BT headset 6 times just to get the voice prompt. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
nxZEN 5500 and MS Voice 1.6
My MS V works near flawless. I hold the button for about a second and I hear the beep in my earpiece. Recognition and response greatly improved.
You DID install to the device and not you storage card, right?

I have to agree VC works very well even better than version 1.5. From what i have heard you can now install to the storage card but perhaps we are seeing the results of doing so. When I first read the title to this thread I said to myself hmmmm. I do think that this version is just a little slower than the previous one but it may just be me anyway overall I'm quite happy with the way it works and think i will most likely buy a copy for my wife's SDA she keeps asking for it.

This is what I'm experiencing:
the MDA goes turns off (screen is off). I press the BT button on my headset to activate VC and the MDA turns on. the problem is that it doesn't get out of the My Info screen. If I get out of that screen, I'm alright.
Wordaround:
1: go to Start->Settings->Owner Information
2. proceed to Options tab.
3. Untick "Identification information" under "When the device is turned on, display:"
I guess no one has that ticked.
PS: This is also true if you have your device pswd protected. You will have to press the BT button again, after you have entered your password.

I don't want to sound harsh here, but this has to be said in the most realistic form possible...
READ THE MANUAL!!!!
But since someone else will probably ask the same question a million times i'll copy and paste the information from the manual for you...
The Voice Command Button doesn't work when the password screen is displayed - The password screen blocks the Voice Command Button to avoid other people from placing phone calls while your device is locked. To enable, uncheck the 'Password Protected' option. Note some organizations prevent this override from working due to increased corporate security measures.

Honestly in the future read the manual it will make you look wiser and make people like me less upset.
I did get a hold of the manual after the post and realized that check box. However, that tick does not help by pass the "My Info" screen. I still have that problem. Hence, my workaround.

If your workaround fixes it then it can serve as a resource for people when the manual isn't working...
I recommended the manual simply because i had the problem when i first installed VC 1.6 and after ticking the checkbox, as mentioned in the manual, the problem was solved for me.
My specs are as follows...
T-Mobile MDA (USA)
Official T-Mobile 2.26 ROM
Plantronics Discovery 340 BT headset
I have no problems with BT and VC 1.6.... I haven't changed my owner info or my password protection. The headset wakes my phone from standby and is ready to go when i press the button on the headset.
frazell:
you're a freaking moron. I said what I said in the followup because it's supposed to help you if the program isn't doing what it's supposed to do. I don't know where you've been but this happens in the software industry. The manual says one thing and the software does something else. As a software developer, this i DO know.
Here are MY specs:
MDA
Offical Tmo's 2.26 /w radio 2.47 <-- that might be the culprit
opmap
SE HBH-662
BTW, the manual ALWAYS works (unless you have problems opening up doc files or ur doc file is corrupted). It's the freaking program that doesn't work according to what the manual says.
25 years in the world of IT/software R&D have taught me that often times the developers and the people doing the documentation sometimes don't communicate very well.

I have had my MDA Vario III for a few months now and overall I'm very happy with it. But there is one thing that keeps me puzzled.
The BT name or Device ID keeps changing whenever I connect it to a PC or BT carkit. Currently the name is "HTC90" but I just connected it to my XP laptop and now it's looks to take the "WM_..." name again.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?
Would love an answer to this. I get so embarrassed in the pub when I have some garbled phone name and every else has something cool like "Hot_Guy" or "Big Boy"
Hi,same thing on my prophet,trinity and now my kaiser : the solution : open the key HKCU\Software\microsoft\bluetooth\Settings and change the LocalName manually.It works for me.
thanks was looking for the way to do this on my orbit
I had updated the ID through the settings menu. When I looked in the registry the same (correct name) was there. If it changes again I go to the registry directly and hopefully that will help!
Hi I have found changing the Device Name changes the bluetooth name
Goto settings->system->About->device ID->Device Name
device name is not the same as the bluetooth name as far as I know.
I made the registry change but next time I looked it had reverted to previous for some reason
Seems a bit odd this. Have a HTC Tytn II and am very pleased (just trying to determine if I actually NEED the various software I'm trialling such as Mobile Shell or whether it's just NICE to have!!). Only one issue that's not a big deal but I cannot fathom how it's happening.
I flashed the device with the new HTC WM 6.1 ROM and before connecting or doing anything I gave the device a name under About/Device ID. Now, when I switch on bluetooth and make discoverable to connect to the laptop for bluetooth syncs the laptop sees the device fine but actually recognises it as my name and not the device name which I gave the TyTn. Like I say, no big deal but I can't fathom how to get the correct device name to come up. Is it something on the device or the PC. Main concern is that if I want to connect with other people's devices and tell them the device name I have entered, it may not show up. Odd???
this is just a case of your PC "remembering" the BT MAC address of your phone and associating it with the old name.
You can normally clear out your PC of old BT names no longer needed.
On PC - go to START> Control Panel> Bluetooth > Devices
Just click on device name and select "remove".
When you re-pair it should see the new name.
Hope this helps you.
That's great, thanks. I'm about TyTn'd out now having spent the best part of a week doing nothing else but learning it, flashing it, installing apps and inputting data. Yesterday was a particular marathon!!! I'll have a look at this tomorrow.
