Bluetooth Upgrade and Bluetooth GPS

I don't know if anyone has noticed... but the new ROM version (1.72 + radio 14) has actually improved concerning serial bluetooth connections -- especially on my BT GPS.
Now when I bond with it, it asks me if I want to use the serial profile. I say yes, and it uses COM 5 for my BT GPS. All works fine. No need to use the Blueooth tools software that was needed before.
So this is actually an improvement, but hard to notice unless one tries "the old fashioned way" with BT GPS.
Works like a charm......

I have not tried it with BT GPS, but looking at what everyone else went through with their Headsets and bonding issues, I can defintiely attest to the fact that the new BT Stack on 1.72WWE works great! I have never had to re-pair my Jabra BT 250 since I paired it the first time two weeks ago. I have also been able to ActiveSync over BT without any problems.

Lucky u guys, when i did the update, i cant active sync through BT

Try this attached document and see if it helps.

sheran_g,
Thaks alot, all i was missing was to do the active sync profile, your document helped me.

I have noticed the added WM function for BT GPS on COM5 (already with 1.66), however 'since' 1.66 I can not get my BT GPS to work with Alturion.
The strange things are:
- At first it still worked with 1.66 but a week after it failed and Alturion and I can not get it working since (incl. 1.72 upgrade).
- if I start Alturion the blue GPS LED starts flashing fast (green LED indicates satelite lock) which suggests BT connection, but still it says "NO GPS FOUND" all the time!
- With TT3 the GPS is working ok (with BT and serial profiles)
I dare not to hope, but if anybody has an idea please let me know. I prefer not to downgrade to 1.60 since I see many issues with this downgrade on this forum.

I can not remember that NO was an option. Do you mean this with the old fashion way???

Hi guys
I'm guessing that the 1.7 upgrade is not avalable in Australia??? I cannot find it on the MyXDA website for download? is this update that you are talking about not for Australia/Asia?

Are you sure this isn't TomTom's GPS Driver causing this? TT's GPS Drivers since v2.08 have locked the BT Com Port for exclusive access by TomTom and this prevents other apps from accessing a BT GPS. Solutions are either install v2.07 which was the last driver that did not do this or remove 'the Tomtom~GPS' entry which is the culprit, removing this removes the BT Com Port lock but does not affect the use of TomTom.

@ griffog
Actually I use TomTom ~GPS 3.03 which does not have this problem anymore! Anyhow I still (temporarely) remove the TomTom ~GPS driver and soft-reset when I test with Alturion.
But thanx for the tip.
BTW it does effect the use of TomTom for me! I guess you have a serial (non BT) GPS !?
Ronald

No I use BT GPS unit's exclusively. I'll have to investigate this as I have not heard that v3.03 no longer has this problem!

@griffog
I have this information from the Dutch PocketPC-club TT forum.
It is also consistent with what I see since the TT3.03 upgrade, even while my other GPS application (Alturion) is not working. If I run TT GPS and close it and then start Alturion the Blue LED of the GPS starts flashing fast (sadly I still get "no GPS found" however).
Ronald
:wink: remember you heard it first from me, the Premier GPS Resource :wink:

Excellent news! I've just loaded it up to test and you were right It's such good news that I've posted a front page news item, thanks

Indeed it was very good news.... but therefor also more disappointing for me that I don't get Alturion -my second GPS application- to work (on the eve of my holidays).
If you also use Alturion 5.3.1.4 (you seem in to GPS), can you share your configuration with me?
OS (1.66+?)?, BTHTools or WM serial BT profile? GPS? GPS config in Alturion? and anything else you might consider important.
I really need some new straws to grasp because I have no more ideas about what to try.
Ronald

Sadly Alturion hasn't made it across the channel. I'ce contacted them on numerous occasions for a review copy but never received a reply.

Another cool fix is the fact that you can now be connected through Activesinc using the cradle and at the same time now you can receive MMSs without a problem.
Before the 1.72 upgrade, you just couln't do that. :wink:

Problem with Wi-Fi

Any one has with problem?
If I turn on bluetooth, I cannot connet to Wi-Fi.

which rom? black3?

I have Dutty's Windows Mobile 6 Premium v2

I dunno, I have Dutty v2 medium on my 8525 and both wifi and bluetooth are working together, howbeit, wifi is quite slow on loading sites on PIE. I'm doing both right now, listening on my bluetooth headpiece, while online with wifi, not cingular. So it's not Dutty's ROM.

i had no bluetooth when switch wifi on with black3. try custels new rom, he will release it in a few hours.
regards chief

Anybody had this wifi problem
Morning all
I upgraded to Black 3.0.1 on Friday. My radio is 1.41.00.10, and SPL.2.10.Olipro
Since upgrading my wifi performance is terrible. I litterally have to stand next to my router to connect. It used to be great. I've tried it on 4 wireless networks, all the same result. I've set the performance slider on the phone, and this hasn't altered it.
Has anybody got any ideas?

Korihor, try this link. Maybe it'll help. But you gotta read and search!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303913
ablousov and Chiefcooker, I've already told you both bluetooth and wifi work together on Dutty's v2. and I've tried both together on the new lvsw ROM, also this afternoon, and they work well togetherwith that ROM. I found that I have to turn the wifi on 1st, and then turn on the BT 2nd to listen to any mp3 on WMP via my BT earpiece. Now if you're talking about streaming on a BT headset, I don't do that,so I wouldn't know.

Thanks, will try it.
Update: I downgraded the SPL, and still no luck with it. I'm sat about 3 metres from an access point, with one wall between us. Always got an excellent signal, and still shows as unavailable.
Thanks anyway
Gary

[HTC 8525 + WM6] Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

Hello!
I do not know if someone has the same issue. I upgraded the WM6 to my HTC 8525 and bluetooth just keeps disconnecting all the time. It happened without any reason at all. I am using "Plantronics 510". The headset is fine, just phone switches the bluetooth off and I need to go to settings to switch it back on. I saw some people have a problem with car-enabled bluetooth. Not sure if it is the same problem.
Any advice? Does someone get the same problem? Any patch or solution?
Thank you!

which WM6 ROM are you using?

I had this problem with my Audi A4 car phone. The ROM versions using build Build 17745.0.2.3 were not good for that. Now, I'm using the Black Majik ROM and that works like a dream for the BT connections.

i started having the same problems but i noticed it after i installed the voice command.. the rom that i use is the gm360 gold. the problem ive got was whenever i was in a phone call using my blutooth and i received a text message it would deactivate my headset. if ur having somewhat of the same problem try disabling ur voice command software...

Multiple AT&T/HTC WM6 ROMs?
My 8525 with the WM6 ROM can no longer route the audio to the BT headset (a Moto HS850 - but this is irrelevant, I suspect).
Basic BT headset usage was fine with WM5 (excepting the known issues with VoiceCommand).
I thought that perhaps the issue was related to the various little registry tweaks and sw patches. However, I had to do a reflash (for other reasons) and currently have just the default WM6, no registry tweaks, no BT sw patches, and MS VoiceCommand 1.6 installed (but set to NOT use the BT headset).
Pairing works fine. So does activation recognition (i.e. the little headset appears in the notification area when I open the boom on the headset and I can hear the background establishment of the BT channel). But audio (dialing tones and Connected call audio) do not reach the headset. The audio also doesn't go to the phone's speaker.
So, are the official ROM updates that repair this? Or, is the cost of going to WM6 the abandonment of BT headsets?
By the way, VoiceCommand 1.6 works fine--if I tell it to stay away from the BT headset.

Pays WM6 Roms
I had the same BT disconnecting problems with my original german Vodafone WM5 and also still have them with Pays WM6 ROMs (2.02 - 2.15) in my Audi A6 MMI.
With the original german HTC WM6 ROM BT worked very well.
Everything else on Pays ROMs is really great. He´s doing great jobs.
Any idea?

I have the same problem with my 8525 and I use plantronics 520. It did the same thing even with other headset too, and also happens in WM5.0, 6.0 and 6.1.
I am tending to believe its a hardware issue, but dont know how to prove it!

Come On, experts on the XDA portal, no solution?? noooo way!!??

My friend had the same issue with an tytn2 and last schap's rom in french language.
After an hard reset i get BT work fine with his OPEL.
But before i made lot of test desinstalling soft check registery key with no result. I still do know why BT was disconecting woth no reason.
Cheers.

Audi Bluetooth hands free
I had the same problems in wm6 with some roms.
I use the official HTC TyTn wm6 with excelents results, also Schaps 4.31 work very good (No disconection at all).
Now I am using Pay WWE 4.30 with many disconections.
BTW I have the audi TT bluetooth option.

On my 8525 Hermes I use the latest Pays Rom and it was disconnecting all the time (Parrot BT) - BUT then I decided to TURN OFF THE WAN and it improved greatly. Other thing I noticed is that the Hermes has to be in DIRECT LINE OF SITE of the BT device at all times or it is erratic.

BT
It seems there are differences in the WM6 versions. As said earlier in this thread for me original HTC and Schaps WM6 ROM versions are running without any BT disconnections.
Tried several WM6.1 versions now and every single one is working fine with my Audi MMI.

Similar problems handing BT control between applications
Hi all, I've been experiencing similar problems since changing ROMs. Originally with Schaps 3.60a I was able to make a call whilst listening to music all using my BT headphones. The Call would pause the music & resume afterward. It worked great! However since changing to Schaps 4.0, 4.2 & now CRC's PHKv12r9, I've never had the same. On a couple of rare occasions it has all worked fine but more often the bluetooth has to be turned off & back on again to reconnect. it seems to relate to what other programs are also running. I suspect there must be registry settings which control the bluetooth operational modes which are brought into play by the various programs running.

Bluetooth Audio problems

Hello all, well recently I bought some Sony DR-BT20NX headphones under the impression they were the best, so onto the problems:
I'm using leos latest 0.5AKU WM6 Rom and when using them with the default Rom the bluetooth headset can control the music that is pause etc but the music plays for 1 second if that at the beginning of the song then its interference. Any ideas?
Using the Broadcomm stack included in the Rom that you can install after seems to sortany bluetooth problems involving audio but destroys the GSM and the radio crashes 9/10times on boot forcing a soft reboot.
Secondly I'm using on my PC/Notebook with a "Integrated System Solution Corp." Bluetooth dongle with BlueSoleil software provided, with this im able to control WMP like on my device, but I don't even get the second of audio - its completely dead audio wise apart from a dull hiss.
So after paying £60 I'm none the happier with bluetooth
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Ok quick update, bluesoleil version 3.2 fails miserably at audio.
Using 5.0.0.0 now and it works.
Whats annoying is I have to pay for this update because they gave me effectively crippled software.
Ok so thats the PC side sorted, just WM6 to go.
Edit:
My USB stick came with version 2.x of the drivers, and when upgrading to 5.x it says the BDID of the bluetooth is already registered. Duh It came with 2.x, oh damnit now I can't get 5.x. Why would a company not want my money

Have you tried only WMP or other players on your Uni? Try CorePlayer and PocketMusic, they also support AVRCP.
P.S. Using a HBH-DS970, no problems with sound... Only problems with WMP sometimes

Had the same issue....installed Jetware Mobile's Handsfree extension and it works flawlessly!!! I use it on my Jabra BT8010 and its the best buy i've ever made!!

Do this and it will work just fine -
1. Install JET ware.
2. Start the utility, go to advanced options and check all relevant ones
3. On the main screen, click on "Turn on bluetooth". If it is already Checked, uncheck it and then re-check the option
4. Soft reset (Use PSShutXp or something which does a software reset. do not use the hardware reset button)
5. After restarting, make sure you freshly pair up your headset (Delete the previous partnership on your uni, and also do a factory reset on your headset)
6. Once paired, it should work just fine.
let me know if it works...also make sure you use the latest version (v1.31 i guess)

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.

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

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
