i-mate pocket pc - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

What a fantastic site. The pda is so incredibly clever and on the i-mate site I have recently upgraded the rom version which includes a radio upgrade.
Can anyone explain if it will be possible to upgrade the telephone to have the voice activated facility that allows you to speak in to a bluetooth handsfree kit and set up a unique number to get the telephone to dial automatically ?
I know that in Canada and the USA Microsoft have a new ?? [not really new now] product called Voice Command which I can't wait for which will allow you to do all kinds of amazing things with the telephone, the appointments and other parts of the pda which will make it much safer to use on the road.
The only poor part of the upgrade from i-mate [i-mate.com] is I am sure that the Bluetooth Navman 4100 GPS unit and the GPS TomTom3 software are 'hanging' more often which is annoying - any suggestions please ?
Than you for an excellent site.

I was using MS Voice Command on my iMate PPC Phone edition. It wasn't a very happy marriage. My iMate would hang to the point where it needed a hard reset about once every or every other week. After a call to iMate tech support and removing the MS Voice Command as suggested, my iMate is much much more stable. Prior to using MS Voice Command with the iMate, I was using it with a T-Mobile PPC Phone Edition. It worked flawlessly. So based on that and other similar experiences (SimCity2000 worked on the t-mo device but not on the iMate) I can't help but suspect the iMate for not being terribly compatible with several different software titles.

Thanks for your information about the voice command - really sad to hear the i-mate doesn't work with it - I won't buy it !
Kind regards

Why don't you try Vito Voice Dialer PE ?

Guys what are you talking about !! Can't you see that everyone of you is using different ROM!!! But the hardware is still the same !! HIMALAYA.
Imate,XDA2,T-Mobile MDA2,Qtek2020... has the same hardware!

Microsoft Voice Command works with WM2003. It is good as long as the quantity of contacts you have is limited. In larger quantities, confusion starts! (besides the fact that you have to pronounce the names in a typical american accent)
Vito Voice Dialer has 2 different phone edition versions (one for XDA and one for XDAII). Each number has to be trained, but then you can use nicknames and aliases, and it works.

BT headset voice dailing

I am getting a little worried here.
It is advertised everywhere that the xda IIs has voice dial, which to me reffers to me talking into a bt headset and it calls that contact.
If this is not possible, can fonix ispeak sort it?
The device comes with fonix voicedial software, but it does not work through the headset. I have my MDAIII mounted on the windscreen in the car and manage to use voicedial to make calls with over 90% accuracy and then talk through my jabra bt headset.
Which unit do you have PDA2K or IIs? I haven't seen any postings yet comparing the two devices, O2 may have addressed some BT issues before launching the IIs.
I won't have one (IIs, already have PDA2K) till next week.
getting the 2's next week. new officail date is the 15th nov. so should recieve it on the 16th
So what does it take to make this work? is it impossible. Can we not do something?
it take it that this product is using the mic hardware and not bluetooth mic?
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cellpoint/padrblvoreha.html
Anyone come acrross this before: (scroll down to Kai’s Bluetooth Headset Patch 2004 )
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/sep04/bluetooth.asp
could something simular be done on the xda's
Or is this something where only ever going to get to use with bluetooth v2?
read this an help me please
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12824&highlight=
Its good to see progress being made but the main problem still is a hard ware based. The mic and speaker in phone hardware need to be bridged with the ppc... which gets me thinking.....as we can speak into ppc and listen to the caller then once we BT the call it was bridge/switch it.... dont understand why something so simple and a much required feature is missing :?
Hi,
I have installed the trial version of MS command and it seems to be doing the trick... I have a qtek 9090 and I did not see any installed software for voice dialing... Is it only on PDA2K?
Thanks.

MS Command doesn't support bluetooth headsets either.
From the MS blurb: "Bluetooth Headset Support - Voice Command does not support using a Bluetooth headset to initiate a voice command but you can use a Bluetooth headset during the phone conversation."
So its the same as fonix. You have to speak the dialling command into the device, and it only transfers to the bluetooth headset when the device starts dialling out. If you can put up with that, fonix works pretty well.
JD
Well as much as I was looking forward to getting a PDA2K or SX-66, I feel that this is a MAJOR drawback that has me thinking twice. I read that your cannot initiate VOICE calls using a BlueTooth headset no matter what software you are running. Is this accurate?
If so, then why can the Audiovox SMT5600 do it by the way of voice tags?
Thanks,
Frank
Previous ms smartphones and pocket pc phones have not supported the bluetooth handsfree profile which would allow voice dialling. Since the new devices now support it its up to the software developers to implement it in their software. For example, using my SE HBH-200 on my imate PDA2K i can initiate voice dialling on the headset but on the imate there is nothing to interface with. If the Audiovox can do it there is no reason why a more powerful pocket pc cant do it as well

Has any one taken this ROM appart yet? It has uptated BT.

It is from an HP 6315 from 3/31/05
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/22539.html
I would love to see if we could get this stack and the settings on our XDAII and other HTC devices,,, THAT would be cool.
Bluetooth build 1.0.0.3701:
Corrects inaccurate display of headset icon when a call is in progress.
Adds a check to determine if Bluetooth stack is initialized before accepting messages from phone.
Adds a user interface (UI) change to enable a connected headset to automatically disconnect before attempting to connect to a different headset when the user chooses to connect to a second headset.
Corrects check for invalid device name.
Corrects issue where handheld could not reconnect to remote device after a page timeout.
Corrects Object push profile update so it sends all files.
Updates FTP connection wizard to correct service discovery issue.
Corrects issue with call waiting for incoming call handling while dialing out.
Corrects issue with headset connection icon so it is correctly displayed after power cycling.
Corrects audio to make it compatible with an in-car solution.
Corrects audio issue where the right channel for a headset was unavailable for playing audio and during calls.
Corrects issue where the LED and network status were not properly synchronized.
Corrects issue where the user could not send multimedia messaging (MMS) message.
Hmmmm....a few remarks, correct me if I am wrong:
1. There is already a BT version 1.0.0.3900 available
2. This is not a HTC device, so I doubt the tools developed here will work on it.

This is an HTC device. All HPs are designed by HTC.
Well, even though I don't want to stop progress because I would like to have the ROM taken apart for my own personal reasons, the 6315 was actually made by Compal. Bad move on the part of HP in my opinion. However, the bluetooth stack that was taken from an iMate JAM worked on the 6315 and that is how most survived until the update was released. So it very well could work on the HTC's. On a side note, if someone could point me in the right direction, I will take the ROM apart, just don't know where to start.

Oops....my bad....excuses!
no htc dont make ALL hp's pda's the H5400's was oem'd from LG
and even if the ipaq in question is made by HTC then that dont garentee that the xda tools work as they are not made by HTC
I can tell you now that the XDA tools do not work on that ROM as it stands. However, looking through the HEX, it is laid out a little differently than the XDA ROM's but have some of the same portions, just in different locations. Now if I knew more about what I was looking at, I could take it apart for you. The 6315 uses Widcomm BT and like I stated before the BT drivers ripped from a JAM worked great on the 6315 so I have a feeling the 6315 drivers will work on the XDA's.
I can also tell anyone looking at it that in the first header of the ROM the letters are shifted 13 characters. So when you see RAT it equals ENG and so on. It looks like they don't do that for very long though.

BT 3900 and 3500 do not support Hands Free Profile or even Headset Profile on my XDAII.. This is important so people can use Caller ID on a BT device and OR a Car Kit with the Hands Free Profile....
Switching stacks is a pain in the but...
Even so, the only OS that even slightly works with Hands Free on the Himalaya, is 2.20 translated but even that has bugs that makes it very frustrating. The 2005 did have a fully functional BT, even having separate serial ports for each BT device, (like GPS), but the other bugs and the limited memory left over from the useless and unerasable Extended ROM from the other OS made it no good..
With this new ROM, I may be tempted to buy the HP again.. When I first bought one, it was DAM slow and the BT SUCKED!!!
Maybe now it is usable.
I love my Himalaya and it's 128 of built in..

I will just have to keep waiting for one of the above unless someone finds a fix for the BT Hands Free.

jazjar and bt800

read on this forum that someone was having his blue tooth jabra bt800 working fine with imate jasjar (shows the name of the caller not only the number)
and after he updated his jasjar rom version it stopped shoing names !
I changed many radio versions to my jasjar with no hope
tryed my jabra bt with imate jam it showes the caller name
any body have any solution for that please help
thx in advance
----------------------------------------
I don't like my jasjar
Jasjar and BT800
@ actGsm,
Till now there is no supporting software which can be installed in Jasjar to make it show the caller ID "Name".
This solfware is available in I-mate Jam, but not in Jasjar.
I hope that I-mate can develop such softwaer soon, and I don't think it's difficult since it is already there with I-mate Jam.
Regards,
Khaled, what CID software for the JAM are you talking about? I didn't know that any such thing existed for the JAM?
I have been able to use the 'Name' feature on my SE HBH-662 for well over a year with my Jam, but it only works if the name/number exist as a contact on the SIM.
@ khaledelfeki
thanks for replying
by the way I found a new update for bt800 (00.34) my latest update was (00.32)
I know it have nothing to do with caller ID but may be it will not make my BT lose connection with jasjar
BR.
@ Monakh,
If you use the same SE head set on Jasjar it will not show the name of the caller even if the contacts are stored on the SIM, but as you said according to your experience it does work with the Jam, this is becaue there is a software included in the Jam ROM to enable the name to appear on the head set screen instead of the number only.
By the way, this software is also available with Sony Erricson cell phones.
Regards,
Some guy made a custom ROM before Stereo Bluetooth ROM's were released (Jwrightmcps)
This rom has REMOTE SIM ACCESS.
It is claimed (as I didn't have the time to test it out) to show the name on BT800 IF and i repeat IF the name is stored on the SIM.
So if you add names to SIM and THEY call you, the name will show. Doesn't work on contacts stored on the device.
It's a nice ROM. Try contacting him for a link to the D/L.
THanks Jwright.
@ actGsm,
The latest up-date is BT800_0034_US, after three weeks of trying the new up-date I can tell you that there is no recognizable improvement in the performance of the head set.
I kept the BT800 head set a side for the time being pending developing a new patch from I-mate to allow the name of the caller to appear on the screen.
For the time being I'm using Motorola HS820, It's too much lighter, and reliable... does not lose connection to the Jasjar at all.
If I-mate were kind enough to develop the mentioned software, I will take back my Jabra BT800 from my drawer and re-pair it to my Jasjar.
Regards,
@ Jorgee,
Thank you very much for the information, I already contacted with (Jwrightmcps) and he gave me the link to download the ROM which is still under testing, but unfortunately I could not open the link.
He asked me to keep the download link private untill the testing is over, but I can give you his email if someone is interested to have the link you can send him an email.
His email address is : [email protected]

Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 - US Version

At last - better late than never
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5767.html
dos it work with jright 3.2 roms
i confim we can now use voice command with the lid close. ha wicked feature
Whats the deal with it only being a US release? Does that mean it won't work on UK phones???
Tattootroy - from a universal point of view is it worth it? or like previous versions are there big scarfices made??????

trust me it worth it. it still works on uk phone and it understands me very well i can now say dial then a number .1.5 could not recognize my zero and sixes .
best of all we can now use our bluetooth headset to activate it wile the lid is close it also read out text and email headers .
just need to know now if it works on the 3.2 roms
It works very well with AKU 3.2. It's great. I've tested and this was the program we were expcting long time ago.
Where can you get it?
The posts above do not show where the newly released Microsoft Voicecommand V1.6 for WM2005 can be sourced.
It may be available through other suppliers but I found it at:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...806&Ntt=voice command&productId=90635&R=90635
Users who previously purchased V1.5 can purchase this US English version as an upgrade at $9.99 plus VAT. New purchase is $39.99 plus VAT.
I have installed it on my Universal over Ivan's Beta 14 ROM. It works exactly as V1.5 works on WM2003. No tweaking or .dll file changes (other than those done by the install) are required. There are no new features, this release seems only to provide the same functionality as V1.5 but compatibility with WM2005.
Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 does not appear to announce incoming calls for me. I'm using Beta 14 of Ivans rom. And, yes, I have checked the option under the Microsoft Voice Command Applet.
Using Version 1.60.4622.0
My bad. It was only announcing through Bluetooth
VoiceCommand 1.6 and Cyberon
Voicecommand works great on Ivan's AKU, but I prefer Cyberon for making calls as it understands better my tags than vc1.6 reading them from my contacts.
However, when I installed vc1.6, Voice speed dial has stopped responding even when vc1.6 is not enabled.
Any tweaks/suggestions?
Still seems to have a bug with button operation on the universal, the voice dial button will only register as press and hold (which defaults to record unless you change it). There's probably a registry setting for it but I don't know which one.
This might be an obvious question, but how do you get voice command to work with the lid closed?When my uni is closed (and I guess powered off,stand by) the program doesn't respond. when I open the lid a very little so that the screen turns on, voice command works. Any tips?
Thanks
it only works with lid close when you are using button on a bluetooth head set. may be it will be hacked soon so we can use device button whe lid is close
I figured as much. I didn't find the "start menu-settings-buttons" very helpful in that respect. I'll just have to live with it for the time being. Btw, it's the first time I'm using this program and it's pretty awesome.
wrong section?
this should have been posted in general since this application supports pocket pc and smartphones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Bluetooth function not working
Voice Command 1.6 has a great functionality for universal that it will work when universal lid is closed, but bluetooth function (Where it is suppose to annouce incoming calls and other notification via bluetooth) is not working for me, even when the appropriate box are checked. I alos re-paired my headset.
Is there any setting (registry), that I should be checking to see if everything is appropriate.
does it work on windows 6.1 htc touch hd i want to buy but want to make sure it works

Never had a problem with Voice Command and any ROM on Uni and other WM devices. The correct settings that work for me: those with button problems should be disabling locking all buttons, assigning a button for Voice Command (I assigned the one for Voice Recording), setting 'Announce Notifications using Bluetooth hands free if available' through settings, enabling microphone noise reduction and Voila!
I use Voice Command for all sorts of things, when I listen to music over the bluetooth it is a god send. I got Pocket Player set up as a default, so all you have to do is say 'Play Music' and you will be asked to make a selection or play anything etc. The only time where I get a bit of a problem is advancing tracks.
And yes, I do realise it's a VERY old thread

Do any car kits work on the s620?

Hi
I have an s620 and wish to install a bluetooth car kit but cannot find any clear guidance on comaptibility. I need to be able to access the phone book, and the two which interest me are the Bury CC9060 and the Parrot 3200LS. Does anyone know if either or both of these are compatible with the s620 or of any suitable alternatives?
Thanks
MB
As far as calling is concerned, you should have no trouble whichever route you go. The phonebook will give you the most trouble. There's a utility by a company called jetwaremobile.com that allowed my car's bluetooth headunit to receive the phonebook from the dash.
Thanks. Yes, I have heard of jetware - am just nervous on forking out around £200 to discover all it can do is make and receive calls. Which system are you using? Also are you on WM6?
Jetware have a compatibility list on their page for devices that have been proven to work (with a corresponding table of features supported by device.)
I'm using a Pioneer headunit with bluetooth built-in. I sync'd the phonebook under WM6.0. I'm on 6.1 now and haven't tried updating it.
I use this....
http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Prod...=105AVX810&search=JVC&searchdisplay=JVC&tp=75
with this....
http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=280050&i=105BTA200&tp=8272
but there are alot of better models out now..
Thanks for the advice. Have looked on the jetware site and they don't list the device I am after. Also, are jetware still going as on their own furums people believe they may have ceased!
Have contacted a few of the car-kit retailers and the feedback seems to be that HTC devices in general have a lot of compatability issues and the S620 isn't even listed on any device as being compatible. Am hoping to be able to test in store to see if I can make it sync so will feedback then.
For what it's worth. Dash/S620 works great out of box with BMW 2007 bluetooth. Have used with WM5, WM6 and WM6.1. Complete phone book sync, and send/receive calls.
The BMW is listed as compatible on jetware's site, as is the parrot device the original poster was talking about. It lists it as a 3X00, implying anything in the three-thousand series from parrot will work. I didn't see the Bury one listed. And whether or not they're still actively developing the software, it still works on the dash. It comes as a 30-day trial as well.
this my help
