A second question - my Motorola HS810 bluetooth headset gets less than the best reception. I'm not sure if it is the headset or the SX66 (<--- my vote is the SX66 now).
I read several post about headsets none of which seemed to be definitive and I am aware that part of the most recent ROM upgrade was to fix some Bluetooth issues.
I have now update the Radio to 1.08.00 and bluetooth BT-PPC/PE V1.0.0 B3900 B Thanks 3waygeek!
I have now tried it and it is much better however, the HS button doesn't answer the phone not to mention handling Voice Command et al. I will be waiting on Radio 1.10 and additional BT patches.
The phone and headset clearly work much better with the upgrades.

I use the Bluetrek G2, and the 1.08 Radio ROM update made a big difference in audio quality. The BT updates (3500 & 3900) didn't make much difference for me.
Having said that, I'd recommend upgrading to the 1.08 radio ROM and the 3900 BT upgrade; IMHO, it won't make things any worse, and may improve things a bit.
Motorola HS850
I recommend Motorola HS850 headset. It has twice the talk time and standby hours as compared to HS810. When you close it boom, it becomes so small and it turns itself off, but when call arives open its boom and you are connected within seconds. This way you can use it for weeks without charging.
Don't upgarade to any ROM or install BT PATCH. I have PDA2K with latest rom from clubimate, I found out no problem with it. I upgraded to Radio 1.08 and guess what? My WIFI does not turn on when bluetooth connection is active or on. I downgraded to Radio 1.06 original PDA2K rom and everything is working fine again.
I recommend not upgrade your ROM unless you have seriours problem.

Anyone having issues with the new XDA IIs and its bluetooth? I randomly get bluetooth errors stating, Out of Memory Driver Error, please do a soft reset. Also with the bluetooth on the unit intermitantly turns on even with nothing paired to the device. I have had two units, and they both have done the same thing. If anyone knows of a patch from O2 or a hack, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mikee
I have an xda IIs and have never got any of those errors also never had it just turn on.
What 3rd party software do you have installed? I would think it is a 3rd party app. Hard reset, do not install from any backup and see how it works.
Did that, still have issues. The only third party app I do have installed is spbpocketplus2. But out of the box, if you turn on bluetooth, it has this issue. Its a Weird one indeed. However I am using a Motorola Bluetooth headset. Still if I unpair it, the unit turns on by itself, and comes up with out of memory driver error? What a pain.
I have not seen that error at all on the Xdaiis I own. As far as your BT connection coming on sporadically, try this - goto Bluetooth Settings and within the accessibility tab, where it says "Allow other devices to connect", just select the "Paired devices only option". Also, deselect, if it is selected the "Other devices can discover me" Option.
Just curious... what version of bluetooth do all of you have? ie: version 1.0 build 2200 etc.
My Bluetooth version seems weird to me, especially since it does not match the version I have on my PDA2k, which is strange considering they are pretty much the same darned device. Anyway the XDAiis is 1.0.0 Build 1900.
I did not even try to put the ClubImate btsearch patch on the xdaiis, like I did on my pda2k, due to the difference. The btsearch patch does nothing to help the brunt of the pda2k bluetooth options anyway. And so far, knock on wood, I have not had many issues with BlueTooth on the XDAiis, like I do on the pda2k, using the same exact headset, etc... So, it seems to me that 1.0.0 build 1900 is a bit more stable then the newer Pda2k stack.
Join the club dude.
I also get all these strange bizzare bluetooth errors. I have the BT patch installed (which was released about a month ago on clubimate), and stilll these errors come randomly. I'm not using the BT anymore, I now use only the wired stereo headset that came with my i-mate. no more BT issues for me. BT sucks on the PDA2K, bashes all over clubimate forums)
I get this fairly often as well. Its probably moaning about kernel stack space, but this could mean that another driver has misbehaved previously and eaten stack space (stack recursion anyone!).
Whether or not you suffer from it will depend on what the machine has been up to beforehand. So for instance, someone with no SD card who has WiFi turned off will be less likely to suffer from it than others.
I keep getting another message as well that says that the licence for the bluetooth stack has expired!!!
For the chap who says it works for him, can you post your firmware versions: For the record, mine are:

Well I would not install spb pocket plus. This is the worst written app. and does not like phone edition. Don't think the developer ever tested the app with phone edtion.
Strange I hav a motorola headset as well...no problems like that at all.

I do not have spb pocket plus installed. I had enough trouble with that application with my old imate and will never install it again, hard resets, missing sd cards...
Do you guys have SPB pocket plus installed. It could be the problem using the stacks????

Agreed. Thats sorta where I was going with the question. I believe they released the PDA2k with the newer version, but found it to be a bit more bugged than the previous builds... thus released the IIs with an older stack. I wonder if we could port that stack over to the pda2k, thus semi-fixing some of the BT issues.

THE BT Stack EXPIRATION error and the other BT memory problems
come and go. I had one week of not seeing any of them even once. It
depands on many factors. Never the less, I hope all errors are
fixable (even if HTC seems to be one of the slowest companies in the
world releasing updates). As long as it's rom related it's comforting.
Same problem occasionally on the MDAIII
I got the same error on my MDAIII on checking the software still running in the background (Settings – System – Memory – Running Programs) and it was always Phone Contacts and Album. Ditched them and Bluetooth worked. Only a thought… Hope it helps…
Just so everyone knows .....
Got my XDAIIs through work to test all sorts of brackets, holders and GPS stuff and I was getting these errors with bluetooth headsets and GPS antennas.
Phoned O2 and gave them some grief as it was stopping my testing and they phoned me back a day later saying that it was a bug and it is currently being addressed.
They would NOT give me a timescale for these bluetooth errors being addressed but said the developers are working on it!
...Spence
Bluetooth nightmare
Any one have any update on this?
My M2000 is still giving intermittent Bluetooth Radio out of memory errors when I try to switch BTooth on.
It also refuses to work with my Sony Ericsson Car Kit - HCB-30 - it pairs the first time and then works, but once you take it out of the car and try again on another journey it simply doesn't connect.
Anyone know if there is likely to be a Pocket Bluetooth Tools release for Blue Angel that may fix this??
I also have this error, i find that it's mainly relating to the number of apps open at that time. However saying this i have a few times killed all apps and still recieved the memery error. A soft reset has always restored usage though.

Hi,
I have problems connecting to my bt headset since I have installed TomTom3. I am running the build3500 bluetooth stack from the 1.06.02 FRA radio. It was working fine without even losing connection with the mda, but after I installed tomtom, it can pair, but cannot connect. The weird thing is that I can sync using bluetooth. I suspect tomtom is keeping busy some of the bt com ports? i noticed that during installation, it required to close bluetooth (cause it said the file BtcoreIf.dll was in use) and as soon as I did that, it finished installation, but since then the headset stopped working. Anyone has similar problems??
Thanks in advance for any input.
Update
Managed to sort it out by upgrading my BT stack to 1.0.0.3900. Still cannot find any similar complaints in any forums. Can it just happen to my MDA III? Who knows....at least it works now, even if my engineering background is not happy with it :shock:
Upgrading the bluetooth stack
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem as you had, although I'm on the UK network Vodafone and have an XDA2s.
My current radio version is 1.06.02 but I can't fine what version my bluetooth stack is. How do I upgrade to 1.0.0.3900?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Hi,
I am using Qtek9090 with TomTom 3.07 and Jabra BT800 headset and have not the problems you people talk about here. I have to mention that I immediately updated my BT version from 2400 to 3900 the same day I purchased the whole stuff. I was - when I was in the shop - told that TomTom 3.07 can sometimes cause problems due to BT version of Qtek (1.0.0.2400) and I better upgrade it to 3500 and/or 3900. I was also told that there were known problems with earlier versions of TomTom wireless (like in your case TomTom 3.03) and that I (at least) had to use TT 3.07 and/or better upgrade the BT driver of my Qtek9090. In order to find your current BT version:
- Click on Bluetooth icon
- Select Bluetooth Settings
- Go to [About] tab
- And there you see your own Build
- You can also select [Advanced] button in [About] for more details
Anyway, once being at home and taking my device out of package I did a BT upgrade to 1.0.0.3900 right away and so far I have no issue with BT stack. Even Jabra BT800 which a lot people complain about works fine with my Qtek9090 (OK, I admit the CallerID at Jabra still not working but I already expected that).
I downloaded the 3900 version of Bluetooth driver (plus another Audio driver) at the following URL in The Netherlands: http://www.pdanieuws.nl/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=37

tomtom gps
The problem is that tomtom is messing around a bit with bluetooth for bt gps receivers.
So after installing tomtom allways reinstall the latest bt drivers.
AFAIK you should always use TTN 3.07 (GPS and Navigator) on SE and Phone Edition devices (Blue Angels is both WM2003SE and Phone Edition)
Big Fat TY
I was getting stupid before reading this 3d.
Even went back to the shop with the motorola headset and had them show me it was working....
Tom Tom was the reason.

This link is not working at the moment, is there another link for this, i am running an xdaIIs and installed navigator3 and could bond but not connect to my bt headset.
will try the stack upgrade also a link fopr nav3 3.07 would be handy too...
cheers.
all sorted now, have got the files and fixed the issue.
Hi guys! I have XDA IIs and I have been having problems with my BT (ver 3900). I cant seem to remove the static sound on my headset even if its just 1 feet away (with line-of-sight). My BT headset is Jabra BT200. I have read those threads on BT on the upgrading forum but it seems that no one has a clear answer. Please help.
I don't know what the problems are with your BT headset. I don't think it's PPC related rather a headset related problem. I have a Plantronic M3000 and I have not had any problems some members here have encountered. I am on BT3900 upgraded from 3500. Even at 3500, I haven't encountered any static at any length.
For Pinoy users cal them and ask who is selling them in your area. You might be able to test the unit at the store as well.:

Protocol V - 1337.32

Can anybody help ?

That's a major bug in TomTom3. It takes fully control of BT.
I fixed this problem after upgrading tp BT 3900, but sound is realy, really cracky. I own a BlueTrek G2 headset. Same probs witg Jabra BT200 and BT250.
My version:
Operator: Orange (dutch)
Operator version: 5.31.3.135
ROM version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/13/04

ExtROM: 1.31.135 WWE
BT build 3900
Same problem with my Motorolla HS801 headset, it worked perfect with my IMATE POCKETPC Phone but has the same problem as you described with the IMATE PDA2k...
I have another problem where the bluetooth mic drops out when the screen auto shuts off, I can hear them but they can't hear me, even if I resume the PDA (turn screen on) the mic does not start working again, a problem the previous Imate/XDA phone didn't have.....
So far I am finding the PDA2k as buggy as HTCs previous pocketpc phone, I don't think I will buy another HTC phone.... They still can't even get bluetooth working..
Every now and again when i make a call it connects fine but the speaker and microphone does not work (which kind of makes call difficult). A soft reset fixes it every time. It seems to happen after i have switched BT off and use the pda wihtou a headset.
I have a standard m2000 orange build with no additional software installed
Also if anyone has any sw upgrade suggestions for the build below pls let me know.
Operator version 5.31.1.124
ROM 1.31.00 WWE
Radio Ver 1.06.02
Protocol 1337.38
Ext ROM 1.31.124 WWE
I have exactly the same problem with ROM 1.40.00 and Bluetooth.... I was informed it was due to SPB Pocket Plus which I use but as you are having the same problem with no additional software I can only guess it is a version of the Bluetooth stack that causes it instead.
I am searching for an answer and will post one here if I get one (Such as a newer stack etc) and will monitor this thread as well to see if anyone else has the answers!
A much easier and faster option is to turn the Bluetooth on and then off, I know it sound bizzare but it does work, as a mater of fact I now use the bluetooth headset on the way to work and on the way home, this "appears" to have stopped the problem - this involves turning BT on / of etc but once I started doing this no more "absent" callers - Mike
This definitely does NOT work for my problem, in fact the switching on then off of Bluetooth is exactly what triggers the problem!
I finally went out and bought a blue tooth headset and it works fine. Then after some time the blue tooth on my phone turns off. I have updated with the bt resume issue and still does the same thing. I went and updated the blue tooth on my phone to 3900. When i check the connection folder there is now 2 blue tooth icons. One is the old blue tooth and the other is the new install. The new install will not let me turn on the blue tooth or let me add any profiles. I tried to uninstall but it's still in the connection folder. Is there any reg tweaks to keep the blue tooth on at all time in my phone?

RADIO - 1.02.10
This is a known issue with the BA WM5 ROMs. Unfortunately there's no way to use the Widcomm/Broadcom 3900 BT update with WM5. We are stuck with the MS BT stack and this issue until a solution is found to prevent the BT from turning off when the phone wakes from sleep. If BT is really important, then your only option at this point is to downgrade to WM2003SE.
Thanks just downgraded! LuXx
What Headset are you using? I have tried the cardo and plantronics and neither work. Just upgraded to 1.15.00 Radio Rom and still the same crackling.

Bluetooth on XDA11S sucks, I've had mine for less than a month, bought it the same time as my girlfriend, I've tried pairing with Jabra and Plantronics headsets, both are crackly and offer poor quality, I cannot pair with my HCB-700 car kit with the 3900 cab, if I downgrade to 3500 I can pair but not create a shortcut, it just about works but is very echoey, my gf bought the low end Nokia kit which is on the supported list from O2 which has the worst echo ive ever heard. If I call her from my xda it the sound goes into a feedback loop.
If anyone has a modified working stack then Im up to giving it a go. I've tried all those available on the FTP site and am just about ready to return my XDA and demand my money back.
O2 Support are useless, their default answer is if its not an O2 BT headset or other device then they wont offer support..
update...
O2 informed me that there are no plans ever to issue another BT update beyond the current 3900 release, if you try to use a device that isnt listed on the my-xda site youre buggered.. No support offered.
I need a WM5 BT Stack to try on my xda... anyone got one?
