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:
Model: O2 XDA IIs

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.
Here is my ROM:

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.

I'm still researching the fault. :?
Has anyone been successful in using the PDA2K and the factory Handsfree system in Accura vehicles? I can get them to pair, and then dial thruogh the car, but then the call switches to the handset. The car system recognizes an incomming call as well, but on pick-up the call again reverts to the handheld unit. I use Cingular USA as my carrier.

Did this change allow you to see SIGNAL STRENGTH and/or BATTERY LEVEL on the Acura center display and/or the instrument display?
No, the Acura does not show any of it.
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.

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.:

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.

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..
Okay.
I've got this bluetooth headphone that works okay with my XDA2s, but after using it (and turning off the bluetooth on the XDA) I do not hear the
person calling me (no sound) The person calling me can hear me fine!
No problem. I do not really like using the bluetooth headphone, so I could live with it..
Now I got this bluetooth GPS, and I have the same problem as I am having with the bluetooth headphone.. No sound anymore after using it..
All I can do to get the sound to work is a soft reset!
Is there a fix for this arround (exept WM5)?
XDA2s is using:
ROM version 1.42.00 WWE
ROM Date: 09/05/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.553 WWE
The Bluetooth is version 1.0.0 Build 3900 (same with all module version)
The ROM I used for the 'flash' is the one from T Mobile
There are NO other 'shortcuts' in the bluetooth manager exept the 'BT GPS: SPP' one.
Any info about appreciated!
Thank you
