Common Issues with WM5 ROMs - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hi all, for the last few months I have tried various Universal ROMs and even various WM5 phones including HTC and HP iPAQ, there are some commond issues which I haven't been able to figure out a permanent solution (work arounds are available though not ideal), these are:
- SIP (System Input Panel), if you install any additional SIP like SPB fullscreen keyboard, Monster SIP etc, every time after you soft reset the device, unless you load them up straight away, you will not be able to load them up after a few minutes (don't know exactly how long) until next reset!! This is a great pain, I have found a SIP changer program which automatically load a SIP after soft reset, but I will really love a permanent solution.
- Bluetooth problem with Tomtom 6 (TT6). With lots of AKU versions of WM5 (apart from Helmi AKU 3.3 I tried so far, haven't tried it with Helmi AKU 3.5 though so I can't be sure with that version) every time I start up TT 6 it asks me to enter the passcode to pair my BT GPS receiver again even though I have done it 100 times already!! Again I have seen this issue on other WM5 devices in addition to Universal so I am wondering if any one has a solution.
Thanks!

I've never seen this problem on either my Universal, or my friend's Wizard (which I set up for them).
I don't know if this is the "standard" way, but basically, I pair the GPS device (a BT-77 in our cases), and then setup an outgoing COM port to it, and then simply tell TomTom to attach to that COM port. In fact, I have two BT-77s, one set to COM0 in the car, and a hand-held one on COM4, and I can switch to my heart's content, and have never been asked to re-pair.
Cheers,
Steve.

I know many SIP can not be able load out. Did you solve this? or how to load them with permanent solution?

i've installed a hebrew sip but i dont have a problem loading it anytime i want.
although, sometimes i have a problem composing a new text message. the device gets stuck sometimes if the keyboard it not opened when i click "new".
happends only with helmi's 3.5 and with the hebrew keyboard. doesn't happen with default SIPs.
whats te program you found to load the all the SIPs?
is it "SIPz"? (from the same maker of PQz).

I have the same problem with blue thooth and CoPilot I use. The software is iGo. I tried several roms, but after I switch off the GPS and switch it on, it always wants to pair with Uni again.

Thanks for the suggestion Steve, I have indeed paired the BT GPS receiver, created the outgoing port as COM4 (actually I also tried other available ones) and point TT6 to it. I have been using this BT GPS receiver for over 2 years with various devices including my good old HP iPAQ H4150. This problem didn't happen with my Universal's original Orange SPV M5000 ROM and it doesn't happen with Helmi's AKU 3.3/3.5 ROM either which is the main reason why I am using AKU 3.3 now.
I have this problem on JWright's i-mate AKU 3.2 ROM, my wife's HP iPAQ rw6828 (WM5 AKU 2.3), my friend's T-Mobile MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes, WM5 AKU 2.3).

No good solution and I am wondering if anybody else knows how to solve it. I have tried hacking the registry to make my additional SIP default and I ended up with my universal not being to boot until a hard reset. The work around is this SIPChange attached, basically you set which one you want as default, then every time you soft reset it loads that SIP automatically before it becomes impossible to load it.

I've not had the problem with either of the O2 ROMs, and Ivan's AKU3.5 test ROM - I haven't tried any other ROMs. I unticked the "secure connection" - not sure if that's relevant or not.
I found that only COM0 and COM4 seemed to be available for outgoing ports.
Before you go into TT6 - is the GPS device in the device list, along with the outgoing port set up correctly? Do you switch BlueTooth on and off? I have it on all the time - I'm just trying to think of things that might be different in our configs.
Cheers,
Steve.

I have both TT6 and iGO 2006 on my XDA Exec. The TT6 (and TT5 before that) always worked well with the BT-77 by simply pairing the GPS to the XDA EXEC on a COM port and selecting that COM port in TT6.
With iGO 2006, on the same XDA EXEC, it will ask to pair the BT-77 every time I launch iGO 2006. The only solution I could find was to use Franson's GPSGate to create Virtual COM ports for the BT-77 and to select this virtual COM port in iGO 2006.

Thanks for the advise, I have tried unticking "secure connection" as well and it didn't help.
From what I am gathering in the information supplied it looks to be caused by a combination of the BT GPS receiver, the WM5 and the Sat Nav software.
I can't remember what make and model my BT GPS receiver is because I bought it over 2 years ago and back then I didn't care what model it is. Now that I can't tell it from looking at the outside of this thing.
This is a wierd problem as with different combination of the GPS reciver, WM5 and software it may or may not happen. What I was having that problem using Tomtom 6 I tried the GPSInfo shareware and it didn't ask me to pair every time. Very strange, anyway I am alright now with Helmi's AKU 3.3 using COM5 as the port with my good old BT GPS receiver and TT6.

WM6 and sapsettings (bluetooth)

Hi, i've upgraded my Tytn succesfully to WM6 Black Edition, works like a charm, great performance (better then WM5) only one major problem is that i cannot activate Rsap with "sapsettings" that doesn't seem available. I've downloaded the "ActivateMSBluetoothSAPProfile.cab" from another ROM but that gives an error.
Is there a ROM that has "Sapsettings" in the programs? I'd install that one then.
Any help is appreciated. Thnx.
Hi, I've had the same problem after upgrading my Hermes 300 to 3DES.3
I was missing the SAP or rSAP, which I needed for my Passat.
I found an OEM package here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal_WM6_Kitchen_Helmi
and downloaded the btsapprofile (direct link: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/helmi_c/Kitchen_OEM/btsapprofile.v1.45.rar)
Extract the content of this file to your PC. Copy SAPSettings.lnk to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs on your phone.
Copy SAPSettings.exe.0409.mui, sapsettings.htm, SAPSettings.exe, SALib.dll, BtSim.exe to \Windows on your phone.
Go to Programs on your phone - you should find a working link to SAP settings.
This did the trick for me.
Cheers - mgruett
You are my hero! Works 100%. Thank you!
While looking into this issue i found anothern, maybe easier solution together with my collegues (same problem here, for the VW Passat fleet)
Just open this file, unrar, copy .cab file on your Hermes, execute, softreset and off you go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29801&d=1155792304
tested it on 2 Hermes with WM6 and it works flawlessly.
rSAP with TyTN, s620 and Wizard
Hi,
when you're saying "100% working" and "works flawlessly" do you mean you have the Icon in your program folder or is it really working well with your car-kit ? Make phonecalls, Syncs phonebook etc. ???
I've a carkit from THB (bury) since ages in my car and upgraded the phone holders from old nokias up to the LT9100 with rSAP. As rSap pops up, I was 100% sure that this is the solution I'm looking for.
Since 6 months now, I try to get that damn thing working. It always fails with "Sim Card missing / not found". I could pair, it connects to the phone, disables the phone-module, but I couldn't dial a number, nor could I sync the phone book.
I tried it with Blueangel, Wizard, TyTN and my brandnew S620 without succes. I tried it with PPC 2003, WM5 and WM6 Roms, no chance. Of course, I followed the hints in the forum.
I sent the carkit to Bury to upgrade to the latest firmware and guess what ... nothing, always the same problem with Windows Devices, but my Nokia 9300 connects well in a second.
So, bottom line, I'm not sure if it is a Bury Problem with a bad rSAP support for WM or a WM Problem as my Nokia connects well.
Any thought or tipp is highly appreciated
Thanks
Chris
I just tried the download from WDawn (thanks incidentally) and aside from it resetting my background to the windows default, worked just fine. Enabled SAP, gave the phone a poke up the rear and tried it on a Nokia 616 car kit. This car kit uses SAP if available, otherwise falls back to HFP. It quite happily connected via SAP. Next text with be the Mercedes Bluetooth module, which would have to be the fussiest car unit I've ever come across and it only supports SAP (no HFP, HSP.. or other fall back).
The phone used is a DoPod 838 Pro running the newly released official WM6 ROM. I never had this success with the cooked LVSW ROMs that I used in the past.
Alex.
Progress but still troubled

Hello!
I have a HP Ipaq 914c and having troubles connecting with the VW Passat.
Here are the steps that I have made so far. Any help will be much appreciated.
1) Initialy on the VW menu searched for BT phones. Detected mine but whenever I selected it, returned back with the message: "Phone not compatible"
2) Dicovered here this tool BTSAP_Test, installed on the Ipaq and activated the "Remote SIM Access" checkbox button
3) VW now is able to pair with the phone (after inputing the 16 code number) but immediatly after pairing says that "Bluetooth is not activated on phone" ...
4) Looking on BT devices in IPAQ I can now see a device named "VW UHV PREM", but the only available service to use for this device is "Dialup Networking".
Am I missing something ? Thanks.

TOMTOM GO and WM6 (DUN)

Microsoft are going to release WM6 with the ability to enable (DUN) for legacy devices, I.e. TOMTOM GO series... are there any cooks interested in releasing a ROM with this option enabled?
this would be great. if this was done i would have nothing to complain about with wm6
Same here, it's just the final thing I need for a perfect WM6 ROM.
One vote more
Same, here. I also tried to use DUN on WM6 with TomTom Go. But apparently WM6 lacks DUN support in Bluetooth Stack.
Does anyone have a fix for this or is there any good WM6 Rom out there with Bluetooth DUN support?
Yes-Sir-Eee
I would love to see that, my 910 won't use the services without DUN...
I was browsing earlier and I think I saw a .cab file in the Wizard forums for PAN support in Windows Mobile 6, however I don't think that anyone said that it worked.
Really?
Point me in the right direction & I'll happily give it a whizz...

I downloaded the CAB from here, and installed on my Wizard. It says it installed but does not work.
Here's some more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307235&page=2
I can confirm this fix
Used trinity files posted by MuN on the above thread.
heres what i did
Installed cab - soft reset
pasted all files from zip in windows folder - soft reset
then unpaired tomtom 910 and reparied, hey presto it found DUN support
Perfect, have been waiting for a fix for this
I've run the .cab and copied the files into the Windows directory, however I'm having a real headache trying to configure a data connection.
Which device to choose for TomTom GO 910?
@the.drone
I followed your instructions and now my TomTom reports that my phone has DUN capability. Problem is HTC TyTN or HTC Hermes ist not listed as phone in the phone list and automatic configuration does not work.
Can you please give instructions which phone to use or how to configure the data connection manually? Because DUN support which can't be configured is as good as no DUN support.
Thanks a lot.
Marc
it just worked first time automaticaly with mine, maybe i was just a fluke but it found the data coonection first time on 3g
How can I find out my TomTom thinks my phone has DUN?
Edit: when I try to add my TomTom to my Hermes, it only brings up a handsfree tick box, when in Windows Mobile 5 I think it also brought up two additional tick boxes. Any ideas if this is following the path to success of if I've screwed up?
Double post.
DUN Doin' it
Will be giving it a go first thing in the morning.
Cheers for the update, will post results....
Bargain!
You eff-ing ROCK... DUN on WM6.
My TomTom 910 loves you!!
Hoo-haa!
How did you get it to work?
So can someone share how they did it?
I followed the instructions and it now finds my ttg 300, and says it has the services - but can't set up the actual DUN connection either manually or automatically!
Any ideas?
Matt
I really am sorry to be a pain in the butt, but I'll outline what I've done.
1). Paired my Hermes up with my TomTom 910.
2). Run the .cab.
3). Soft reset.
4). Copied the files into the Windows directory of my Hermes via the storage card.
5). Soft reset.
6). Repaired my Hermes and TomTom 910 after having deleted the previous connection. At this point it says "The following features were found: Hands-free calling, Wireless data connection, Phonebook".
At this point I try and setup a data connection that it hits the fan. It's really annoying because it feels like I'm falling at the final hurdle. I also wondered if I was struggling because of an issue with connecting to the T-Mobile network, however am I right in thinking that mccreath's using a T-Mobile GPRS contract SIM connection?

Bluetooth ActiveSync Schaps 4.31 WWE Problem

Hello,
for hours I have been trying to get ActiveSync to work with my Hermes (XDA Trion). Interestingly, everything worked fine with Schaps older ROM 3.54.
Actually, the problem can be split into two seperate problems:
1. When I try to pair my Hermes with my Notebook (MSI dongle with Bluesoleil 2.3) and I search for new devices, it discovers it. After I enter a passkey on the PPC a window pops open on the notebook. I punch in the same exact number as before but my PPC just stalls with the "hour clock" running. Sometimes I get a time out error after waiting about 5 minutes. If I don't enter a passkey I can pair the devices with no problem.
2. Once I have paired both devices (with no passkey) I can manage to refresh the offered services to ActiveSync. Nevertheless, I still get an error message that there is no existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC with ActiveSync support. Thus, I'm still not able to sync via bluetooth
If you have a solution, let me know!
Thanks!
sojakim
same HW no issues
I happen to have both the Hermes with Schap's 4.31 WWE Lite AND the MSI Bluesoleil BT 2.0 dongle as well, and bluetooth Activestink is no issue on my end. Works perfectly.
using 4.31 lite as well.. no issues with rgd to bluetooth connections with my HP tablet TC1100 (XP Pro Tablet Edition 2005)..

6.1 and tom tom, bluetooth working now?

Can any body tell me the best 6.1 cab to use tom tom on have trouble with bluetooth at the moment wont stay paired up.
Will consider using a 6.0 cab if this is the only way.
is there a fix
thank you
Had no problems with either Farias R-32 versions, and Schaps was fine too.
i found TomTom pretty good with pairing and finding bluetooth signals.
TNT 19999
Hy...
no problem with this rom.... i hope this notice can help you.....
If you need some other information cantact me!!!
Bye!!
there must be another problem, mabe with your bt-gps. Been flashing about 7 different 6.0 and 6.1 roms's the last few weeks and none of them heve instable bluetooth gps pairing and using.
i'm using a bt-gps and bt-stereo headset intensive together. listening to mp3, on the same time tomtom is telling directions, while on the background pushmail is bringing me new mail that i can read at the same time, being interrupted for incoming sms.
on top of that all an incoming phone call on my bt-headset will work, just as using a voice command to dial a number myself. and the mp3 player automaticaly pauses and restarts at the end of the phonecall.
tomtom keeps working.
just when ending a phonecall sometime the mp3 sound goes to the pda speaker instead of the headset.
Pays 6.1 ROM works with tt6 and bt.
My hermes kept droping out with TomTomon WM5 all the time, but since I switched to WM6 i never had a single drop.
For me WM5 > WM6 stopped all TomTom problems I had

hi Photoscuba, i have the exact same problems
First it wont pair properly (says that the key is incorrect).
Its there in the Bluetooth device list, so i open a com port for it then run my gps software, goto detect GPS but then i keep getting GPS reciver wants to pair with you message, as soon as i can answer yes or no, another screen will pop up saying the same
i have asked in several other threads if anyone else is having the same issues, but everyone elses seem fine.
i did read some where about all wm6.1 rom having problems with pairing when using the pass code 0000 (something along the lines of it sending a NULL or a single 0), but i cant find now. ill keep looking for it maybe someone has over come this, on a thread on XDA.
i use a HOLUX GPSlim240 receiver and it works flawlessly with wm6's
im using K's 1.3 at the mo
All these ROMS worked for me
I like to test new ROM and play around a lot.
I have tested Tom Tom 6 and my Bluetooth GPS on the following WM 6.1 ROM all worked.
Below are the ROM in the order i used them.
FARIA-R-32-CLEAN
TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
CRCs_PHKv12r10
Binky11'sv3_3 - Great Clean ROM and i loved S2U2
PDACorner.V10 - New ROM i am testing right now
What map software and GPS units are everyone using?

Considering they are talking about Tomtom, I assume thats the software they are using....
yea, lol, shoulda seen that coming
but the problem seems to be the gps unit connecting or staying paired to the phone, so if there a list of bluetooth gps units that are working fine with wm6.1 then maybe see why some units wont connect
It all works fine on all the WM6's, so the change is in how wm6.1 handles it as far as i can work out
if theres a list of workin and non working GPS's then maybe i could see what the problem is

Upgrading to WM6/6.1 losing passwords...

Can someone give a definitive answer to this, I am using an Orange SPV M700 which I have flashed with the generic Dopod WM5 rom Version 1.23.405.2.
I have tried various WM6 roms and have had the same issues with them all, I loose bluetooth pairing authority, the wirless keys are lost and Tomtom map activations are lost too.
Is there a way to resolve this issue as I see there are a lot of users with the Trinity and WM6 in signatures, so someone must be doing something right.
After having flashed my phone from WM5 to WM6, the tomtom ID of my phone changed too... Perhaps Tomtom's support will help you with that?
I have no problem with bluetooth...
It's not that, perhaps I should have been a bit clearer.
After flashing to WM6 & pairing across bluetooth for the activesync, connecting it to my wireless & activating the tomtom maps, give it 24hours or so and these details are lost. Although the bluetooth PC is still in the paired devices, the pairing code needs to be re-entered as does the wireless key if I try to connect to that.
The Tomtom map needs reactivating again also.

I already read somewhere about this.
When you do some pairing with bluetooth and PC sometimes you lose the maps!!
Don't have further details though
