i need your help with the bt patch
Hi,
I have downloaded the file from
http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/EnableCharPin.zip
and looked for the exe file, to run in my xda2.
The exe is a PC installer (didn't work in my xda - not a valid win32 app...)
I finished the installtion process, and now in my add / remove programs i have "Bluetooth Character Password Enabler".
But when i'm trying to bond with my Navman,
still only numbers can be entered. :roll:
Any idea?
(maybe someone have the EXE to run on my ppc, not the installer?)
Thanks in advance,
Tomer
This is a bit unclear, I used towa´s patch like said earlier, followed exactly the instructions and could enable the charpin, and enable my navman
just download and COPY the patch to your xda true activ sync or whatever, and the start the bonding procedure, and when the screen for the pasword comes up, you lanch the explorer on your xda look for the charenable pin, click on it, it will give the message charpin now enabled, close the explorer and type in NAVMAN in big font, and it works perfect.
let us know if you got it to work
Thanks for you quick response.
I tried to do the process as explained:
copyed the file EnableCharPin.exe into my ppc
(via active sync), turned on my navman,
start BT, look for devices, found the navman gps one, next,
and now when the password screen appears i went to "my documents", clicked on the file, and than the error message 'EnableCharPin' is not a valid Pocket PC application" appears.
Any idea?
I saw a post in the forum about registry key or hack, to enable it,
whithout further information.
Thanks,
Tomer
Problem with EnableCharPin
The work that has gone into tying to solve the issue is impressive.
Unfortunately I have the same experience with the response 'EnableCharPin' is not a valid Pocket PC application'
Does anyone have a way to accomplish inputting alpha characters via changes in the registry?

I have NAVMAN GPS and have the same error. Can anyone explain how is it possible that one can run Windows installer on XDA??
I have just installed this WIDCOMM BT manager. This thing at least is not asking for any pincode so I can easily establish the connection but later on i am not getting any data on the port. I am using ArcPad application by ESRI and I am supposed to use port 8 for GPS.
Can anyone tell me why there is no data comming thru the port?
Another problem is that the connection is lost after few minutes...
it works 4 me now
I did hard reset (upgraded my os / radio to 1.66.00 , 1.10.00)
disabled multilingual support,
installed the exe (FROM MY PC, NOT FROM THE DEVICE ITSELF),
and it solved the problem.
In the pairing process I managed to write NAVMAN (capital letters!),
without any problem
I hope it helps...

Re: it works 4 me now
Hey Tomer !
Thanks for your tip. I have had problems with the connection, but I used your tip, and now it works perfect.

Navman bonding
I dont have a problem getting the XDA II to bond with it, the problem I have is I can only select Com 7 in the Bluetooth tools menu and when I go to set up the GPS in Smartst it wont let me select Com 7.
Anyone have any ideas
I have a XDA and a Navmann 4100. A couple of weeks ago my Navmann dealer sent me the patch EnableCharPin & BTHTools1012 and I started the bond between the PPC and the 4100 and all went fine but a couple of days ago I suffered and full reset on the ppc and now I can not bond the ppc and the 4100 anymore.
Can someone tell what shall I do to bond once again the ppc and the 4100?
I have tried several times with the same process as before (EnableCharPin & BTHTools1012) but I had no succes, the ppc does not allow me to write Navmann, it only lets me write numbers.

I had this same problem when I had to do a hard reset with mine couldnt get it to rebond. The only way I managed it was to re install the character enable program. It seems to be specific on which order you do it unfortunately I cant remember what it was. I had to try it a few times myself for it to work.
The way I have managed to do it in the past is to make sure the PPC device is connected to your PC via active synch when you attempt to enter the characters (NAVMAN) That seems to in some way enable the enablecharaterpin software on the PPC. Let me know how you get on.

probably the wrong place to ask but could that be used with the palm os ? ie charpin .exe

Hi Rudey
Hard to say... I believe that a guy called towa wrote this for PPC, but if you look up his user name here and e-mail or PM him he might know
Hope that helps

many thanks
Hi Everybody,
I have an xda11 and have upgraded everything BUT i just cant get the bluetooth running properly all the time. could someone suggest something other than the obvious. I really screwed up my phone with bluetooth tools and their must still be something in the registry that is affecting my bluetooth. I have a hello2 headset which is fantastic. The problems really started with bluetooth tools. I have done several restores from my card but i think the problem is in the registry............anyways i love gadgets and you guys are the bomb.

Hiya
Can you provide a few more details? Eg..
What OS?
Have you done a hard reset to refresh the device and still having BT issues?
What version of BT Tools did you install?
What exactly the issue with BT is: it stays on for a minute and then turns off / doesn't come on at all / any error messages?
Cheers
Ant
Thanks for responding
The operating system is
WM2003 second edition
version 4.21.1088 build 14132
Done a hard reset
The version of BT Tools was 1.1 (i think) but i did remove it.
and yes it stays on for a minute or it doesnt answer but it knows its on.
I just think ive screwed something up in the Reg. I have spb 2.5 , and a heap of programmes on it.
When doing a restore from my storage card - do i have to restore registry otherwise it would leave the "working" bluetooth after a hard reset.
I dont get any error messages-it just has a mind of its own. Also i cant answer another call while im on a call.
Sorry to be a pain..........if there is a BT stack i can download to overide this one-that wuld be cool or can someone tell me what dll's to delete so it fixes itself up????
Thanks again for your quick reply

Hi all,
saw this on pocketpctweaks.com but i cant get it to work
no matter what i try can't get the Time....page to display
Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5
any help?
frz
anybody got this 2 work??
did not work for me too
Works here...
Just flashed the ROM back to the original Cingular HTC 2.25.11.1 WWE ROM.
Used TotalCommander 2.0, changed the registry value per the above post.
Shutdown and restart your device. Hold the power button down, then choose Yes to lose any unsaved data, etc. Power up your phone.
Now go into Settings, Phone, voila, there's the timezone tab.

Universal means its a model of phone, NOT the universal that the word means.
so im saying its for this phone that you posted this to.... a specific model not WM5 phones in general

I installed the WM6 Black, and my keyboard is not inputing the right chars...I tried the RegEdit fix but nothing. I am trying to revert to the factory Cingular settings and I am using RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_.06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe. I keep on getting update error message. I have no idea what to do...Please help me. I am getting very frustrated with this thing. I looked at the Wiki and I see nothing regarding my question. Same thing for the forum.
Thank you in advance.
I had this with my T-Mobile ROM, the .exe file expands the files into a temp directory, the only one you need is the .NBH.
1. Copy this file to your storage card and rename it 'HERMIMG.nbh'.
2. Plug device into mains charger.
3. Push & Hold the side 'OK' and 'Power' buttons.
4. Reset the device.
5. Your now in bootloader.
6. Holding the 'Reset' button with the other two will make the device search for and run the HERMIMG.nbh file.
7. Make a coffe or something... (It takes about 25 minutes).

This is the quickest fix I have read about. Works with out a hitch for everyone who has done it.
Cool. I m happy I can finally do this. Although I would like to fix the keyboard instead...Anyways what solution do you guys know of that will fix the keyboard? Also where can I get that .nbh file?
Thanks a lot!!!
You can either use WinRAR to unpack it or if you run the .exe it will unpack to '\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp'.
I would suggest going back to this ROM as a diagnostic tool to make sure the keyboard isn't faulty...Just make sure you upgrade to SPL 1.35 Olipro first as this makes your phone almost unbrickable in future! If you do brick it so either your stuck in bootloader mode or the OS won't start follow the above instructions...
Well, I know for sure that my keyboard was working perfectly fine before doing the WM6 rom. I have tried fooling around in the Registry...didn't make it worse, but didn't make it better either. What values do you guys have for the qwerty in the registry? Also is there a program that will let you program what key gets what symbol?
I know I am trying to decide between factory, or trying to fix this keyboard characters mix up...
Thanks again.
Not to over-simplify, but what phone are you using? If it's the 8525, there's a CAB file to remap the keys to right places... just search for 8525 keyboard fix.

Here is keyboard .cab file fix.
Thank you very much guys. I solved the issue. The fix I ended up using was; going to my local Cingular store and beaming a reg editor into the live 8525 they have there, and looking at the registry where the qwerty is located the hexadecimal value on it is 40409 (located @ local machine/software/oem/qwerty/). Please let others know about this fix for the Cingular 8525.
Also thanks a million to those who actually put a linky and not just say there is something somewhere...
Thanks again,

hallo friend, i ve a big problem on my p3300, i have downloaded program much important for my job as FIELD TEST, but on artemis does not works.
so i have read on web more more pages and i understand that the problem is a dll that in p3300 /windows there isnt: rilgsm.dll.
without this dll some port are closed on my htc i suppose com 9 and 6 (network ) so field test doesnt work propely!
can someone explane me how i can solve this problem or i can extract or add this dll.
i have actually italian wm6 official on my p3300 , but i can install also a unofficial rom with rilgsm.dll.
i wait for help as soon as possible
thanks
rilgsm.dll is in the Artemis Touch 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM - Lite without cube ROM as well as the other versions (full, vanilla, etc) I suppose.
But, I'm not sure that is the complete answer to your problem. I was trying to run a program which ran fine on my previous PPC using com6 but would not run on my Artemis using com4 (needed to run TomTom). Today, I found a solution here that works. It's called portsplitter. I installed it today and sucessfully used TomTom (requires com4) and the other program (requires com6) as well on the newly created com8! (see the link above to makes sense of that). Maybe what you need?
Here's another link in the Artemis forum discussing this issue.

thanks for answer, maybe can you explane how i can set ports?
i need only field test works , it is only excutable file, no need installation, there isnt configuration to do , is very simple, maybe i can send to ou the file to test.
i wait for help thanks again
pls help me
I don't know how to copy just the rilgsm.dll file you want. It's part of the rom and so access is denied on both the phone and via activesync.
Also, I don't know how to set ports. Did you try the portsplitter application I linked to above? I am using an application on my phone right now that uses port 6 thanks to the portsplitter application. Try it!
Upload your application here or post a link, and I'll see if I can give it a try.
i ve uploaded file here: http://www.megaupload.com/it/?d=ZL2OLMS0
please try it, anyway i dont know how to use port spkitter right mode, maybe i wrong to setup it
for it i need help
no one answeres.........
what's up with the (mad) face man? I have been trying to help you. I had a busy weekend and we are in totally different time zones - so relax.
Here, I will spell out very clearly how to use portsplitter...
Artemis settings:
start menu\settings\system tab\external GPS
programs tab...com8
hardware tab...com9/baud 4800
access tab...tick (select) manage GPS automatically
PortSplitter settings:
input: using your keyboard type COM8
baud: select 4800
output: select com6 and press 'add' then press 'start splitter'
the program will then be running in the background
Now go to your fieldtest app and set it to use com6 at 4800 baud. Or, if you know it uses com6 by default, just open it and see if it works.
If it works, you have two options. You can either start portsplitter each time you want to use it. Or, go back to the portsplitter app and tick 'autostart' so a link will be placed in the \windows\startup folder and you won't have to start it manually each time you reboot. It will always just run in the background. (edited to ad...) Actually, selecting 'autostart' only saves your settings so each time you open portsplitter it will run on com8 etc. You need to manually put a shortcut in the windows\startup folder for it to actually start up each time you turn your phone off and back on.
Now, if you use the portsplitter AND any other GPS programs (i.e. TomTom), you'll need to set that program (i.e. TomTom) to use com6.
In TomTom you do this by pressing the lower right hand corner of the screen where the clock and signal strength bars are. On the next screen press the right hand side of the screen where the battery status and signal strength bars are. Now press the lower left corner button called 'configure' and choose 'other NMEA GPS receiver' and press 'select'. Set the baud rate on the next screen for 4800 and press 'done'. Finally, press 'com:6 Port Splitter' and press done!
It works fantastic on my Artemis. I have another GPS program and I set up the GPS communications to use com6 at 4800 and it works like a charm as well. I've set PortSplitter to autostart after each boot, and I haven't given it a thought since. It just works.
I tried to download your app but there is a message that says "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."
I have fieldtest running on my Artemis right now. It looks like it auto sets itself to refresh every 3 seconds. The right hand side of the screen is called 'GSM' the left is called 'data'. Almost all data fields say N/A except for RSSI and Rx Quality. So, it looks like it runs, but does not work.
Probably due to this:
"fieldtest is not compatible with 9100/Prophet/Artemis. For those devices you need to use GSMTestMode.exe"
However, just in case you might still find this info useful...before trying fieldtest on my phone, I searched what it was about and found the info here. You may have already read it, but if not, there you go. BTW, (if you DID read it) you could have just directed me there to download the program rather than how you did it.
Lastly, I tried the registry edit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> HTC -> EngineerMode -> BuildInEngineeringModeApp = 1
It changed nothing, the program is still mostly full of N/A responses. Also, ran the program from \windows and got the same responses as when I ran it from the memory card.
GSMTestMode.exe exists on my Artemis in the \windows folder.
To use it check this registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> HTC -> EngineerMode -> BuildInEngineeringModeApp = 1
Mine was 0 originally. I changed it to 1 and soft reset the phone. Then, opened the \windows folder and clicked on GSMTestMode.exe and all the info shows up instantly.
That was with portsplitter running in the background. So, I disabled portsplitter, soft reset and clicked on GSMTestMode.exe again - and it worked. Using/not using portsplitter made no difference. I did not check the values reported since I don't care enough. The rest is up to you.
thank you very much runningtiger, your info were very very precious for me, now works all fine.
only 1 problem: after i edit value from 0 to 1 in registry, gsm test mode works fine , but if i reboot artemis or shutdown and restart registry value back 0.
is there any way to solve?
bye and thanks again
This isn't an issue on my phone. I made the registry change using TotalCommander and used the exit command on the menu to close TotalCommander (rather than the X in the upper right hand corner). Then, I soft reset by pressing the reset button with the stylus. When my phone was ready to go again, I opened GSMTestMode.exe used it, closed it, then reset my phone again, used GSMTestMode.exe again and it worked again. So, the registry change sticks on my phone.
Usually the reason registry changes don't stick is not enough time passed before soft-resetting the device. Some registry changes are ready to use immediately, but others take a moment to actually write to the registry and if that process is interrupted then the change isn't actually made.
Three thoughts on your phone...
1) did you wait about a minute after making the registry change before soft-resetting your phone? This allows plenty of time for the change to be actually written to the registry.
2) wait a minute after doing the registry change, then try instead of soft-resetting doing a full power down by holding the power button until you are asked if you for sure want to turn off the phone and then let it sit a minute (off) before starting it up again?
3) can you try using TotalCommander to make the registry change like I described above?
