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:

and the keyboard works perfectly on the Diamond even though it is running WM6.1
Good luck
Thank you that worked great!!!
Hi Folks,
thanks for a great discussions on this forum, it helped me a lot in some issues!
I have had a good idea of having a "universal" device since my first pda. And I thought I would get one with Diamond, but unfortunately... The issue is that am trying to use Diamond as a GPS device and a memory unit at the same in my car... I have an MP3 car radio with USB (incl. power supply), so what I am trying to get is:
-> Running GPS inside Diamond (e.g. Navigon)
-> Running car radio (supplying Diamond with power)
-> Car radio reads Diamond's internal flash memory over USB
Until now I only managed that Diamond's GPS running and getting power over USB (-> selected ActiveSync after plugging in the USB cable into car radio) OR Diamond's internal memory serving MP3s for my car audio and charging itself over USB.
So my question: Is it theoretically possbile to get what I want?
I know, setting Diamond as internal memory demounts the flash for external USB device and makes it unavailable for internal applications... And ActiveSync will never work with the car audio... And there is not enough space to place GPS maps into ROM... But probably you have some ideas or tweaks of apps, which could help me???
So what I tried was:
1. Creating two memory patritions my SD-card with my old XDA mini S and demounting them with WM5torage. It didn't work with mini S as WM5torage recognised only one created partition. It also didn't work with Diamond as I could not create two partitions on it (for several reasons).
2. I tried to find an extra soft app, which would "extend" ROM emulating it by using the space of the internal memory. Didn't work.
3. Use different USB modes...
So do you have an idea?
Thanks and regards,
schroschy

I've got the same kind of car radio... but I don't see any chance to get what you (and I) want. so get yourself a usb-memory-stick (with even more than 4 gb) or a second diamond
Anrgy...
Argh... I'm so f**king angry!
'Cause HTC Diamond Pro, which comes out in a couple of weeks, got 512 MB ROM and an external miniSD card slot - just enough to place a map of Germany or enough mp3's / ogg's on each sigle partition!
Bastards...
EDIT: But there MUST be a workaround! I can't believe it doesn't work! I heard Micro$oft is working on an alternative product to ActiveSync... Maybe it'll help us...
Any further suggestions?
a new radio...
i thought about a new radio with bluetooth. so you can play music with the diamond and use tomtom at the same time and hear both (music and commands) through the speakers in your car...
it's cheaper than buying a pro
there was an app for older pdas that would allow you to present the storage as a disk , i think you could also still access it from the pda
@cookie: you guess you mean WM5torage... i tried this one, it didn't work with xda mini s (qtek 9100). and it does not work with wm6.1 anyway...
@Herr_Knigge: i though about it... what you mean is basically using diamond's internal media player and transmitting audio via bluetooth, don't you? i will try it out next time at the media store and will share my experiences...
thus, if anyone has a good workaround / tweak / app to solve the problem - you are welcome
I'm curious about why you're so determined to get this to work... is it so that you don't have to buy a car charger kit?
Seriously, you can get a 4GB flash drive for peanuts
@Davey101:
well sure you can get an SD for peanuts, but hangig around with your sd-card plus cardreader plus all this chargers etc. is what i hate... why can't i have everything in one device???
@Herr_Kringe:
i had a small BT-test in the media store on firday. it worked fine (with some minor interruptions when loading) with sony mex bt 5000. however, i am not sure about the sound quality. sony supported special audio-streaming-mode and i started diamond's bluetooth-headset-mode... so i guess it was all mono sound. thus you can tweak it to joint stereo in diamond's regestry...
another thing i'm worried about using BT is the volume level. since the audio player is running in diamond and not in the car audio device, loudness maximization inside diamond could cause some distortions. and i am not sure if there is any sound wave normalization / limiting inside the bluetooth interface. i will do some more tests this week.
PS! another cool thing was that navigation speech was also heard in car radio over bluetooth there was kind of a loundess controller between player and navigation, so the player turned down the level to hear the navigation speech
Hi there to all,
I have a (maybe strange) question.
Is there anyone here who knows if (and how) I can use my HTC Wizard as a Bluetooth external keyboard for my HTC Diamond.
I don't use the phone at the moment so even if Windows Mobile has to make place for something else so I can use it for my new purpose that would be no problem to me.
I hope somebody here can help me with this question.
Thanks
Hello everyone. I am a new member here.
I do know the issue about bad manufacturing of X1 like the keyboard. My X1 is actually in very good condition, no scratch and anything. I don't like to risk dissemble of this phone. I've been searching over google but what I've found the 'freedominput' didn't specific their keyboard as for X1 but HTC HD. I don't want to spend my euros on something unsure. Does anyone have any idea about an external keyboard for X1? Perhaps something from other phone like Atom Exec?
Hi there,
Not sure exactly what you mean by external keyboard, however I use my old foldout Palm Bluetooth keyboard, with my X1, no problems at all.
Bluetooth keyboards should work with the X1 as long as the X1 supports the corresponding Bluetooth profile.
A few words concerning cleaning the keyboard. It's not that hard. It might look a bit scary but it's pretty much self explaining.
Hi,
I'm about to retire off my Kaiser and get a Desire HD.
Instead of just selling off the Kaiser, I'd like to keep it as a backup pocket satnav for the wife to hide in the glovebox ( I have a dedicated car cradle also )
To make it user friendly for my wife , is it somehow possible to dodge the WM6.5 UI and start straight up as a TOMTOM ?
I've tried loading TTN but when I switch off the unit and switch back on, it defaults back to the WM6.5 menu.
Is there a cooked rom out there that does this providing I've got the maps installed?
cheers
