Bluetooth manager doesn't start until I soft reset

Hi all,
I have a strange problem: bluetooth manager works fine after a soft reset. I can my PPC the whole day and it will always start normally (read: the screen that shows BT shortcuts shows up). The problem occurs when I turn off the phone over night (flight mode). The next day I can't get the BT manager to show the shortcuts screen - BT can be switched on and off but neither the BT manager or the BT settings screen will show up (there is no error message!!!). After I do a soft reset everything starts working...
Has anyone come across this kind of a problem in the past? I couldn't find anything using search on this forum...
My device info is (DutchRetail ROM):
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
Ext ROM: 1.40.556 WWE
I have tried uninstalling almost all extra software that I have installed after a hard reset but the issue is still here.
Thanks for all suggestions on what else I can try.

Do either of you have Goodlink software on your device?

same problem no goodlink
Same problem but no goodlink software
I also get another funny problem where sometimes I go to connect to my bluetooth access point from my phone and it just has the little pie icon saying it's doing something, then it stops and it hasn't connected (the connection icon stays the same) and I can't make any sort of connection. It then does this everytime I try to connect.
I don't know how i fix it, but I combination of many soft resets various flight mode turn ons and fiddling it eventually works. It's very frustrating and it's happened on every software version. Right now i"m running 2.04.00. I have a CDMA from Telecom NZ running radio HA_01_151 right now (but I've tried other radios).
Somebody else had this problem I noticed but nobody replied to his posts.

I've got the same problem I hope someday that someone makes a fix for it. I run the XDA IIs BlueAngel 1.40.00 Asian O2 ROM WWE. =/.

Same problem here - only solution I had was to go into settings/memory and then stop all programs running - then the bluetooth manager appears without the need for a softboot..
Pain in the arse. :!:

I do and I have the same problem. I've been suspecting that it may have something to do with that because when I reset and I can start the manager just fine before I start Goodlink, but after I start goodlink it's a pain. Once, I tried to start BT manager then it didnt... i forgot all about it then suddenly some 11 hours later it just popped up by itself. Goodlink had been running continuously.
Any ideas???

I sometimes have the same effect.
What I usually do to resolve it (without soft reset):
- I installed PocketNav (kills programs which run in the background)
- I select 'Close all but Ative' in PocketNav
Then the Bluetooth Manager works again.
Hope it helps.

This is due to memory limitation in WM2003SE. When it finds that the memory is not sufficient it wont run Bluetooth Manager or Wifi. I had this problem a lot until i have shifted to WM5 which has more than 100 mb when the device starts. I guess that is why M$ has built WM5 for that reason and also for persisten storage of course.

The "memory limitation" is indirectly the problem. The Goodlink, which is more than three times the memory hog as any other 3rd party app out there, is the direct problem. I could write a college discertation on the amount of bugs in this awful software. And yes, it is good for push email...but at the expense of everything else that is good about these multimedia devices we own. The typical "close-when-you-tap-the-X" software utilities don't shut down Goodlink on my device even though they successfully shut down every other software I own (over 40 titles). So I have to use MemMaid to kill its process. But Goodlink will restore itself in a matter of minutes as it ventures out to the server looking to synch mail, calendar, contacts. If there was ever a reason to bring back public hangings, it would be for the Goodlink windows OS development team.

I don't really see any issues with Goodlink eating my memory. Then again, I've converted from a strictly fun user to a strictly business user so the whole gaming and multimedia thing doesn't quite do it for me anymore.

Steiner,
I tried PocketNav to see if it would truly close GoodApp.exe. Although it does seem to shut the application down, the 6+MB exe still is open in memory. Using MemMaid it shows that it never really closes.

I also didn't have the Goodlink software installed . My solution to the problem was: I installed the Sprite Backup software and set it to automatically restart my PPC @ 6 am after creating a backup. So in a way, this problem was very benifical to me - I now have a fresh backup of all the software every morning and the device reboots every morning without my intervention (no BT errors, no WiFi errors, etc).

WM5 GPS application - iGuidance compatibility?

Hi
Does anyone know how to setup IGuidance to work with WM5? I dont know how to work the BT ports at all. In 2003se, i could use the "scan" for bt data and it'd find the itrek gps unit but now it results in "no gps found". alternatively, what other gps software will work other than tomtom? I dont have tomtom =(

I've got version 2.1 and it seems to work with WM5. I add the gps to the bluetooth and then I create an incoming and outgoing port. I set my gps to port 6. In IGuidance it won't detect the gps but if you manually choose port 6 it will work just fine.
Andy

iGuidance 2.1.3 locks up my Wizard after several minutes. Grrr...

I am having all sorts of trouble with my PDA2K (WM5) and iGuidance. Although I think it has more to do with my bluetooth than anything. When I first started trying to get it to work it gave me coordinates that I was in Africa... Anyway, I think I am going to go back to 2003SE.

I'm having a different problem with iGuidance v2.1.3 on WM5. It installs and runs just fine. I use BT over COM6 and it seems fine. The problem I have is that the coordinates are off. The strange thing is that when I run GPSInfo (a separate app) it shows the correct coordinates - iGudiance thinks they are different and thinks I'm in a different location ( a few miles away).
I gave up on it and decided to go back to 2003SE (iGuidace v2.1 that worked perfectly fine on that configuration a long time ago). I followed teh steps to format/clean hive and did the down grade but am having a different problem. I've seen other people running into similar issues but I've not been able to get around it
"BTTrayCE - bluetooth can no longer be used because the license has expired" - I have tried a number of things using different BT stacks, 2003SE builds, reset (soft+hard) etc. Same problem!!! Argh - I'm stuck. I really miss my GPS!

Hi krille,
I also had similar problems with my SX66 and iGuidance and finally decided to go back to win 2003 because it worked fine with it. In WM5 my BT GPS receiver was never able to make a connection with iGuidance. But now I am having a different problem. I cannot downgrade even though I followed all the instructions correctly posted on the BA_Downgrade page. The upgrade program ( MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ) does not seem to identify the rom versions and though it gives me a successfully upgraded message nothing had happened. I cannot downgrade now and stuck with WM5. Did any of you experience this when downgrading and can offer me any help.
DEK.

I've been upgrading/downgrading with differnt ROMs without any problems
Make sure to disable activesync on the pc and copy the nbf files as described in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5. Sometimes the verion info update to/from doesn't show between WM5/2003SE...
What happens when you click Update to continue?

BaUpgradeUt.exe worked
Thanks for your reply. I followed all the steps as described in the link you have sent but MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe did not upgrade (downgrade to 2003SE) though I got a message saying it did. Then I tried the file BaUpgradeUt.exe in PH20B folder and it did work. My device data file says my SX66 is in fact PH20B1 though. I do not know why MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe cannot update my ROM. Anyway I am happy now with my WM2003SE and iGuidance and BT all work faster with ROM update to 1.40. Now I am planing to customize my ExtROM to have all my personal settings and programs so that I want feel bad not having WM2005. Thanks for your willingness to help.

Voice Command 1.5 with the New ROM

Has anyone sucessfully installed MS Voice Command 1.5 with the New ROM (Jasjar ROM 1.30.68 WWE, Radio 1.09.00, extROM 1.30.153)? It installs but when I run it I get an error message and it disables itself. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sven

I have VC working fine with the new ROM - installed and worked just the same as before, so does the reg hack to enable operation via BT headset...........maybe if you try it again (re-install?) it will work

works fine on mine.

@sbatxda I had the same issue, VC would just close itself...what worked was a simple soft reset, I only figured this out after pulling out all my nose hair but hey it's never to late to learn Just do a soft reset an it should work as normal.

sorry, i assumed a soft reset was a foregone obvious solution and would be done automatically by anybody that has any knowledge of any microsoft system.
if in doubt, reset

youmeus: it worked ok on the new ROM then? I'll try to upgrade soon I guess then..

MS Voice Command 1.5
Thanks for the suggestions. I have made the register modification to get it to work with my BT headset and I have made multiple soft resets. I have some issue with the Voice Command install in that I have to first install the 1.0 version and then the 1.5 version; if I go directly to 1.5 the install tells me that there is no previous version and stops. This may create some issue, but this is also how I did it with the previous ROM version. I'll try a re-install again.
Regard,
Sven

@vijay555, yes I tried it again and it works ok now...but this new rom has a few issues that I am not comfortable with so I am going back to old rom once I get home later
@sbatxda, the better way to install VC is vis the cab file...just look for the cab file on your desktop eg C:\Program Files\activesyne\voice command\...etc and drag the cab to your PPC.

MS Voice Command 1.5 installation
Thanks youmeus,
Installing the .cab worked better.
I'm now having difficulties installing the .cab file with my ISP settings. It will not install on my device or storage card. This worked fine with the old ROM.
Ideas anyone?
Regards,
Sven

BT hack reg
@adesonic
installed and worked just the same as before, so does the reg hack to enable operation via BT headset...

please tell me the issue about this or send a link in a thread. VC 1.5 doesn't work with my BT headset.

DTR - try this - copied from another thread on here
MS Voice Command activation from BT headset
Now this one is sweet and makes the JASJAR the daddy for voice commands.
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
Now, when you press your BT headset connect button, MS Voice command will fire up and take commands through the headset. It's reponses will be played through the headset too.

@adesonic
oh, thatone I shure did try. But, having a Magician, I obviously had no success.
Maybe the fault is with the i-tech headset, which probably doesn't support connection.
I also had no luck with streaming audio to that headset, which some posts in other threads say is possible.
Thanx neverteless for your fast reply.

Why haven't MS upgraded this software to a proper WM5 version yet?
OR have they and I haven't been paying attention?

Question: Earlier I and others have had problems with showing of contacts displaying a blank page.. Are you guys able to show contacts using Voice Command properly?

@eman, you have to add one the files form the VGA hack in your windows folder for VC to display contacts...I can't remember the name of the file so do a search on the board!

Great to know there's a solution.
Installing VC now

with the previous ROM there was the issue where it didn't work in laptop mode with the lid closed. Does VC work in that mode now, or are you guys using it in portrait mode?
It would be great if it did.

the file needed is outres.96.dll
no VC doesnt work when the clam is closed.
even on the latest release.

Contact button missing from phone after reset

9090 Rom 1.40.00 WWE ExtRom 1.40.150 radio 1.13.00.
I had an accidental Hard reset when i had meant only to do a soft reset.
I had the 9090 working perfectly for years and have lost the programs that I updated it with.
I have found LED Off and GB-SOFT tweak for the GPRS but have lost all the others including the Contacts Button from my phone pad.
Can someone send me in the right direction for the cab file to replace the contact button and a link to any other software we used in the old days.
Also I still remove the BT file unless using TomTom with a BT GPS so I dont get the "Dont hear the other side" prob when using it as a phone.
Was this ever fixed?
Thanks for the help
Steve

Found it, it's called Mamaich Telephone Extension and it adds a Contact button to the blank button on the phone keypad.
Only prob is it wont install because it says I have an unregistered version of NaturalInstaller. File is called SetupFL.exe .

Problems with Room, Bluetooth, Wifi, overall System Restore needed
Good evening .
I have been trying to solve a problem that i have with my o2 xda. The problem is that the Bluetooth device is not working, it won’t even start, and I tried to turn it on from the communications manager but nothing. I tried to turn it on from the settings/communications/Bluetooth/turn Bluetooth make it visible to devices, but also nothing.
It turns on when I soft reset the device a few times, than sometimes it comes back on with the Bluetooth on, blue light flashing, but I’m unable to get it to pair with any devices. Sometimes my laptop will pick up the signal for a few seconds, but it is not able to sink with device.
I have tried everything I could think of, even have done some hard resets but nothing.
Someone told me to do an Artemis reset. So I downloaded the 4.02 with cube zip that I found around this website, but since I have never done such a procedure, in fact this is my first time with windows mobile, so I didn’t want to mess it up.
I read in this forums that third party applications can cause sometimes this problems because of driver contamination , my device did have lots of extra apps so that could be the problem .
In any case I’m not an expert, not even close especially with this system, so any help / suggestions / diagnostics / instructions, will be greatly appreciated.
The device is an o2 xda with built in gps, running windows mobile 6.1.
ROM Athemis Touch 4.02 WWe
Rom date : 4/8/8
Radio Version : 03.08.90
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.52
CPU: OMAP850
Speed: 201MHz
Ram: 64MB
Flash Size 128Mb
Data Bus 16bits
Storage size 44.74MB
And if the best solution is to do this artemis reset, i will really appreciate some instructions on how to exactly do this task, and if there is any known issues of this procedure killing the phone? , since sometimes with this types of "resets / flashes” this type of devices sometimes dies! So any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Hope Corporation .

hi, have anyone schema arte100 (htc p3300)? thanx.
