hello,
i have an a2dp headset and it´s working fine.
all i want now, is, to start the bluetooth a2dp link in the widcomm bt manager automaticly or alternate by a button.
any ideas to start bt-shortcut automaticly or by a button?
i searched and in the registry and the windows-folder. there is no way to locate the bt-shortcut in filesystem, to start it with a mapped button...
greets
sebastian
I found out that if you create a shortcut (.lnk) with notepad and put this in it:
23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23,1
You can get right to the bluetooth devices screen. I haven't seen how to pair something automatically though. hopefully one of the bluetooth guru's here can figure that out.
I have a wizard, but I use a program called CicleBT that basically turns BT on and off. Should work on the Alpine as well. Just search google for it.

Cicle BT will turn your bluetooth on/off, but you can't pair your device with it. You will still need to get to the bluetooth devices menu and pair it manually.
I wonder if anybody knows if it is possible to have two (or more) divices connected at onceon a Blue Angel?
eg. Tom Tom 6 plus a hands free connection.
I have tried every configuration I can think of, different ports ect, but to now avail.
With the gps connection up and running, as soon as you turn on the hands free , the gps connection link is lost, turn off hands free and it will resume connection.
I am using BA WM5 AKU3.5 R4 - xplode's excellent rom
In GPS settings
Program is using COM 5
Hardware is using COM 0
Manage GPS settings set to Auto
In Device settings,
BTGPS unit is on COM 0 (Serial box ticked)
Hands free is unassigned
Any help will be much appreciated.
any idea's anyone?
On Last Baniaczek's ROM I made an experiment just a moment ago: BlueAngel, Navigation system (Polish one, Automapa), plus GPS on Bluetooth and A2DP headset - first connected headphones, then added GPS (using automatic GPS connection - it's M$ Stack) - Everything seems to be working fine. I thought it was a bit unstable at first, but AD2P stops sending data, when there is no sound from the device.
GPS Settings are default: COM6 for applications and GPS has COM7 assigned on Hardware tab and in Bluetooth outgoing port. Quite seamless.
then I made the 2nd one: same headset connected in Handsfree mode: indeed turning on navigation made it connect and disconnect every few seconds.
For me it seems to be fault of M$ BT stack: it cannot hold 2 similar streams on BT (COM and Handsfree/Headset are both typical serial connections of highest priority in BT stream). At the same time it can cope easily with two different streams (A2DP is lower priority, high-bandwidth BT connection).
I'm not sure, but I think when I used old Helmi 1.3.2 with Widcomm stack it could cope with GPS and Handsfree at the same time, but it needs more testing.
jakubd is right it is limitation in MS BT Stack
Don't give up and it should start to work. I have similar problem with BT GPS and BT headset. GPS goes on and off while headset is on. And than I try to switch headset off and on, BT off and on, GPS off and on and after some time it start to work together with no problem. It takes first 10-15 minutes of my voyage but then it works for the remaining few hours.
Sorry, but I still didn't find out what combination make it work. If I do, I will post it here as workaround.
And I'm almost sure that I had no such problem with Helmi 1.4 ROM.
Thanks guys,
have tried every configuration I can think of, but its always the GPS connection that is dropped, not the hands free, this would not be a problem if it was just when you are answering a call.The GPS reconnects only when you disconnect the hands free connection. ?
Has anyone Successfully used the Widcomm stack with this type of setup?
I am sure alot of members would find this usefull if it can be made to work!
This is my experience:
ROM : Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v1.4.CF2.R2 (baniaczek)
Tom Tom 6
GPS : Bluetooth
Headset : Nokia BH-300
When the headset is on and connected, the GPS doesn't work (TT say no GPS found). When I turn off the headset, the GPS is working.
With ActiveSync I have the same problem: when the headset is turned on, I can't establish a connection with the PC via bluetooth.
BUT!
If I use a different headset, a Logitech HS03, all is working fine. I can leave the headset on and the GPS is working. I can receive incoming calls with no problem (using the headset) while I'm driving without loosing GPS signal.
With ActiveSync is the same: I can connect my PC with the headset on.
I have no idea why there is this difference with these two headsets, but one is working and the other no. I don't know if the problem is the MS BT stack, but my test demonstrates that under some circumstances this stack could manage more than one connection at time.

Bigmike, my point exactly. As I wrote in my post I keep turning on and off until finally it works. So there are some circumstances under coexistence is possible.
It seems that devices try to use same port which means that first device does not reserve port for itself. I am not an expert but it seems if we could somehow force devices to use different ports problem would be gone.

If this works with one set and doesn't work with another, it might be connected to list of profiles supported by the headset:
1. Headset - HSP - more common, typical profile for use with cell phones (supports AT commands)
2. Handsfree - HFP - audio-centric, used mostly in cars, less common
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
My SonyEricsson HBH-600 has both profiles (checked with services list on SonyEricsson phone), but I don't know how to select which profile is used by headset.
Just a thought...

I hope you haven't misunderstand my previous post. I haven't in mind to minimize the value of your post (very useful is someone will try to investigate about this problem).
I was thinking that somebody, reading your contribute, could wrongly think: “you're are a lucky guy and turning on-off the headset repeatedly you crash some library and the two devices are working together”.
My intention was to remark the fact that under some circumstances the headset and the gps can connect together every time and always at first try: it's not lucky, crash or random events.

I have a similar thought.
It seems to me that some times ago I have read that it should be possible to change some profile's parameters “playing” with the registry.... but I could be wrong...

No I have not, bigmike, just the opposite. I was delighted that somebody confirmed my point.

Couldn't agree more. And I think it's worth trying to resolve it.
Multiple BT connections - solution?
I think I find a solution for this, or maybe we can call it workaround. At least it works for me.
As I wrote in my previous posts, I could make it work every time just didn't know how. Now I established repetable procedure which worked every time for reasonable number of experiments.
Secret was to turn on BT headset (in my case Plantronics) and BT GPS device (Haicom 406-BT) and GPS program (iGo) first, and then go to Comm Manager and turn bluetooth on.
So my procedure is:
1. make sure that BT is off in Comm Manager
2. turn on BT headset
3. turn on GPS device
4. open iGo program
5. minimize iGo
6. turn on BT in Comm manager
7. open iGo and make sure it's connected
8. go to phone and call myself just to make sure it works
9. back to iGO and make sure it works
If 8 or 9 fails for the first time, just turn BT off and on again in Comm manager and check it again. I never need to do this more than twice.
Try this, guys, and good luck.
P.S. I don't know if it matters, but make sure that in Settings/Connections/GPS "GPS program port" and "GPS hardware port" is set to (None) and "Manage GPS automatically" unticked.
Very good! Many thanks Sassa!
I have tried for two times your procedure and both tries worked very well (with TomTom6 and Nokia BH-300)
I use a slightly different procedure:
1. BT off in Comm Manager
2. turn on BT headset
3. turn on GPS device
4. turn on BT in Comm manager
5. open TomTom 6 (wait some seconds and make sure it's connected)
6. go to phone and call myself (on the first call the headset is disconnected)
7. back to TomTom and make sure it works
I have noticed a different behavior of the BT headset having the BT always on (in Comm Manager) and using this procedure... but I need to make some tests before writing more.
"Hi guys. Can anybody tell me how do I connect to a bluetooth headest manually through WM 6.0?
I understand that WM6.0 is supposed to do it automatically, but it doesnt . There has GOT to be a way for me to sync the TyTnII with my bluetooth headset manually.
My headset is Jabra320s (piece of crap), and it does not allow me to connect to the TyTnII manually through the headest because there is no menu LCD on the headset. Therefore, in order to connect my TyTnII and my Jabra manually, this must be done though the phone."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"hm...its pair'd....here is the situation
even though it is pair'd, when i goto the bluetooth connects scree (device tab) there are no options to connect. the only options that come up are "edit, delete, set as hands-free, set as wireless stereo". theres no connect option. so i cannot tell it to connect....
sometime sit connects automatically, sometimes it simply doesnt, no matter how many times i restart it or the headset. sometimes even when i RE-PAIR it, it still does not connect."
I'm trying to connect my phone (ATT HTC Tilt) with a stereo bluetooth headset or trying to send files and everytime I scan for new devices it gives me an error stating "PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE"
Additionally, the "Turn on Bluetooth" option always turns off automatically....
What is going on? Can anyone help?
Please...
Anyone who experienced this or can give me a hand? Thanks!!
I had this same problem all of a a sudden on my Kaiser. But after doing a hard reset this got resolved.
And now i just flashed Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Its amazing update..
Cheers
Thanks Arun...
Tried the hard reset NO LUCK! Problem persists, and bluetooth keeps turning off. I go back to the wireless manager and check both boxes and they come back off in 30 seconds!!
When searching for devices it says (ERROR: PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE)
Not able to beam or receive files at all.
Any help? Thanks so much!!
Same Problem
Running into same problem here. I haven't even updated the ROM from stock yet, although I have done the JumpSPL step (cuz I received the white screen). My Radio is 1.27.14.09.
Any help is appreciated.
I would think that if you have done a hard reset and you don't install anything and you still have a problem then you **** is borked. time to do a warranty exchange.
has your bluetooth ever worked, with the rom that is currently on your phone?
Problem with Bluetooth Hardware!!!!
I am having the same problem. I have the stock AT&T ROM. Here is exactly what is happening:
The bluetooth is not working on my Tilt at all. It has lost connections with devices that it was already paired with (a Motorola Q Global and a headset). All attemps to pair the devices again lead to the following: "Error: Problem with Bluetooth Hardware".
When I go to Bluetooth Settings through the Comm Manager, then Mode and check "Turn on Bluetooth" and "Make this device visible to other devices", it unchecks as soon as I exit the settings menu. The Comm Manager constantly shows the bluetooth being off and when I tap the icon, the phone "thinks" for awhile and then it greys out again.
The only change that I have made from the time that it was working is to install the iphone package, and a today plugin (which I have since uninstalled) found here.
I recently changed my Kaiser Tweak bluetooth settings: I changed the BitPool from 'medium' to 'very high', but my headset was still working after that. The other settings are:
Sample Rate - 48000 (Advised)
Use Joint Stereo - Enabled (Default)
Receive Files - Enabled
Any ideas/suggestions?

Hi @all!
I know there are many BT issues concerning TyTN II and WM6. But this one is new, I think:
After pairing my Kaiser (WM6.1) with my BMW E46 handsfree unit, the first call I make immediately after pairing works fine. But after terminating this first call, there is no sound at all. Neither my Kaiser nor the handsfree unit utters a sound, though my Kaiser displays the small handsfree-icon, that confirms the connection is established.
I tried so many things to solve this problem. I tried different radios and different ROMs. But nothing worked till now.
Does anybody have an idea?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I soved the problem on my own!
First, the BT extension software "JETWARE" didn't help. But then I changed the JETWARE settings - and voilà: this was the thing. In advanced options I selected "Phonebooks", "Query status indicators", "Update status indicators" ang "Hang up/ swap to incoming call". All other options in advanced options I unselected. Then in phonebook options I selected all categories to sync, opened the "menu" -> "set limits", selected "Exclude Fax numbers" and "Limit how many numbers to sync" and set all options to 0.
Then I hit "Done", "Done" and one more time "Done" and connected my Kaiser with my BMW Handsfree unit (E46 ULF). And what happened was unbelievable. It worked perfectly suddenly.
Maybe this workthrough can help anybody else.
My conclusion: JETWARE solves the silence problem, you just have to choose the right options in JETWARE settings!
Greets to all active board users!
Here are some specs:
HTC Kaiser
ROM: Official HTC WM6.1 Professional 3.03.405.0 WWE
Radio: 1.64.06.04
Protocol: 25.70.40.02W
Do a search for "Unexplained volume drop to zero".
It's an ongoing thread about this exact problem.
My problem is different, I think, because after turning bluetooth off in comm-manager, sound works fine again immediately.
Any ideas?
I have a similar issue when I pair my Tilt with the Parrot MK6100. It will work for a while and then I can try calling someone or receiving a call. It shows connected, but I do not hear anything. The far end cannot hear anything either. What works for me is to reset the Parrot by turning it off and then back on.
I would be interested in a fix for this.
Tried to solve the problem by turning off htc home. but no success. i'm getting mad ...
BMW bluetooth problem
I had a similar prblem with my BMW 740 e38, which uses teh same ULF box. I cured it by disconnecting teh battery. Note, if your radio uses a key code, check you have it before disconecting teh battery!
Good luck.

I have the same problem with my Audi, I think it is the Bluetooth in the car rather than the handset. I get this problem with several handsets. You might want to see is BMW has an update.
Diconnecting the car battery (for more than 30 minutes) didn't solve the problem.
Nobody out there who can help?!?!?!?!?!?

Try Jetware, it is a 30 day trial but I think it is the BT software in your BMW. Check some BMW forums and see if there is an update.
Bluetooth Issue
Hi guys,
it is definitely the TyTy II and not the Bluetooth in your car!
I have a Parrot MK 6000 in my Honda and had NO issues with my previous HTC TyTn in combination with the Parrot or any other bluetooth hands free.
After every phone call the phone looses bluetooth connection and re connects after a minute or so.
Really annoying! I'm thinking to get rid of the phone if there is no update very soon.
jetware doesn't solve the problem.
is ist possible that the protocol is the reason?
first, i supposed, the reason for that annoying problem could be the number of contacts in pocket outlook.
but in fact i really have no idea till now.
anybody out there who can HELP??????????
SOLVED
Look at my first post!

I will try your settings with my 2005 X5 tomorrow...but as I can see in the set of settings you have chosen, there is no contacts transfer, no last dialed, no sms can you please confirm?
rabbit,
i have the same exact problem (lose sync with phone immediately after a call, then re-initiates contact a minute or so later), but is getting yet another app the only solution?? is there any other solution that fixes the WM6.5?
