MS BT stack Vs. widcomm BT stack? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I am running Footballs WM6 ROM a03 for Axim x51V
I only run two things via BT.
1 is IGO (thinkoutside BOX Ultra trim keyboard) and the other is BT SirfIII GPS with Iguidance 3.01
I can get stowaway keyboard to work with built in BT stack, but I cant get Axim to recoginize My GPS receiver.
If I use the widcommBT stack from Aximsite I can get GPS to recognize but not my keyboard.
Currently have the Broadcome BT drivers as cab and can easily install and unintstall , But I would like to be able to use both under one set of BT drivers.
Anyone help. Thanks!

What's important to you? I have the Widcomm with my x51V Football ROM and Bluetooth GPS & DUN works great. Better interface too!

wm2005 bluetooth stack on magician

Anybody tried extracting the bluetooth stack from wm2005 and put it inside magician?
It'll be great if someone could extract it the bluetooth files and registry. Wanna test if it works or not... cuz i wanna play with the PAN profile... There is a PAN profile in the WM2005 bluetooth stack right?
At least that's what's written in the WM2005 bluetooth sdk
there is pan in vidcomm bluetooth stack aswell
widcomm is only unstable as hell on the magician, too bad
widcomm doesn't work with Magician. nobody actually tried the wm2005's bluetooth stack on magician before?

Does the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack install work with Dell Axim x51v WM6 (Football)?

I want to be able to tether my Axim x51v up to my cell phone using bluetooth so I can access the internet occasionally. I tried to install the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack and then the x51v was no longer visible by Vista's Windows Mobile Device Center. I ended up doing a hard reset and am back to the Microsoft bluetooth stack which is so limited in comparison. Anyone have any suggestions?
I am using WIDCOMM bluetooth stack install work with Dell Axim x51v WM6 (Football), I can connect to my cell phone using bluetooth and access the internet...
rolwu: can you go into settings --> connections --> usb to pc and try to uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality' and tell me what happens please? also, do you still have a 'bluetooth explorer' icon in programs? what happens if you click on that icon? just a couple of the problems that i had right off the bat with the widcomm bluetooth stack and want to see if you have them as well. it is very possible that i installed it wrong or just did something incorrectly. thanks!
Broadcomm stack works on my ROM and works fine

Yes it works!!!!
Hi Football, are you planning to remove the old Microsoft Stack ? It would be nice to release also a Widcomm enabled ROM...
Cheers!
Football: first of all, thank you for the work you did to create the great WM6 image for the Axim x51v. You have breathed new life into my old device.
If you would not mind Football, would you please give me a link to the Broadcomm stack that you installed and instructions, or a link to a thread that provides instructions, on how to install it? For some reason the one that I installed, Widcomm (which I assume is the same as Broadcomm), did not work properly.
Oh, and do you have a paypal account Football? I would not mind sending you a small gift as a token of my appreciation for your efforts.
I went ahead and tried to install the BroadcomBluetoothStackX51V05 from aximsite (which I assume is the correct one to use) and performed a soft reset as instructed. I then made the change to the registry to set the flow control value to '0' (not sure if that is still required). However, I have a few problems using this bluetooth stack:
(a) The Axim will no longer synchronize with Windows Mobile Device Center (using Vista Ultimate). If someone can please explain how to get this working I would appreciate it.
(b) If I go into Settings --> Connections --> USB to PC, I can not uncheck the 'Enable advanced network functionality' or I get this error - "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial." It was suggested to uncheck this in other posts related to troubleshooting failed connections with WMDC.
(c) Programs --> Bluetooth Explorer, when launched tells me that "Bluetooth radio is turned off. Do you want to turn it on?" Bluetooth is already on but I select 'Yes' and eventually it tells me "Failed to turn on Bluetooth radio."
These are the problems I have noticed so far. Do others who are using this Bluetooth stack have the same problems with the WM6 A03 ROM? Can you synchronize with Windows Mobile Device Center?
I appreciate you help and feedback.
Hi djlenoir...
I installed the Widcomm stack from Aximsite and I also experienced same problems as you...
The '0' in the registry is not required for normal operation I think. The Hardware Flow Control must be disabled only if you connect an A2DP device to improve performance and stabilty. I'm having issue about point (c) as you and I think the BT explorer only works with MS Stack... When I tried It, also created a useless bluetooth device folder(same as CF or SD) in the file explorer wich I had to remove deleting a startup menu shortcut created by the system. Another issue is the BT Obex file transfer speed wich cannot be sustained at so high default speed (I'm having chopping between 2 and 60 KB/s. Reverting to slow speed using BTSpeedSwitcher seems to solve the problem but speed si only 28-30 KB/s. Tryed with MANY BT dongles and different PC stack (Widcomm, M$, Bluesoleil).
Cheers
Football Add The BroadCom Bluetooth Stack To Your New WM6 A05 ROM
Yes, the broadcom bluetooth stack works perfect with the X51v running Football's wm6 RTM A03 ROM. Now Football all you need to do now is add the broadcom bluetooth stack to your new wm6 A05 ROM! It's got the perfect setup for SKYPE!

I feel the opposite and prefer to leave MS BT stack since we can always install the Broadcom stack whenever we like. In fact, I found the A2DP sound quality a lot better from the original stack
BroadCom Bluetooth Stereo Sound Quality, The Better Of The Two!

With out a doubt, the broadcom bluetooth stack has better stereo sound quality, than the Microsoft bluetooth stack, that's plain to see and hear. Plus I use the broadcom bluetooth stack to make VOIP (SKYPE) phone calls but I cannot do that with the Microsoft bluetooth stack.
Bluetooth {DUN"} Via Smartphone And The x51v Running The BroadCom Bluetooth Stack!

Read my thread in the Excalibur forum on how I installed the bluetooth Dun.cab file on my T-Mobile Dash, now I can pair both devices (my X51v and my T-Mobile Dash) via bluetooth Dun, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340762 and get the bluetooth Dun.cab file download and complete details, works like a charm...............!

It's only without "your" doubt. Not to mention a serious bug in broadcom A2DP (across all PDA I tested) which system volume adjustment is not working. I found my SE HBH-DS220 a lot worse than the original MS stack on x51v. (But the same handset works very good w/ my Asus P525 which also has use broadcom stack. Maybe some tweak is need...)
Since different people got different need, it's better to leave it and have the user to install broadcom stack as needed
Menneisyys And Mike Spikle Were The First To Come With The Broadcom BT Stack!

I have been using the Broadcom bluetooth stack way back before Dell ever thought of a x51v! We only had the X50v back then in those days! (Old School) Menneisyys and his friend Mike Spikle were the first ones to introduce the Broadcomm bluetooth stack and I still have the same download of their first original fix with the bluetoothspeedswitcher.zip and the flowcontrolhack.reg on both of my x51v's. I have never had a skipping problem, the stereo sound is perfect. Menneeisyys uses the Plantronics 590A bluetooth headset and I also use the same headset for that perfect stereo sound quality. Maybe, you are using a different broadcom bluetooth stack, than what we are using, because I have no problem using the volume control (high or low) again it works like a charm and always has.................!

Bluetooth

Is the bluetooth stack in WM5 the same as the bluetooth stack in WM6? If not, is it possible to use the bluetooth stack from WM5 in WM6? I like WM6 but it does not work with the handsfree in my Nissan. WM5 works fine. WM6 will pair and activate handsfree when dialing but no audio on either end. I've tried many WM6 roms but none work.
Anyone have a suggestion?

dell aximx50v AO3 ROM

hi,
i had just upgraded my dell axim x50v with A03 rom.
It doesnt have a ftp bluetooth and connection cannot be made because it doesnt offer any sevices.
pls advice , do i need to install any additonal pbluetooth program ?
thanks.
What A03? WM5? WM6? Or is it just the point of the game to guess?
For info, I have WM6 A03 Beta 1 and bluetooth works fine (with my GPS at least, so the serial port service works).
dell axim x50v wm6 ao3
how about the ftp bluetooth file transfer ?
are they working ?
Dunno, I really only use bluetooth for the GPS.
It's well known that WM6 has issues with WiFi and WPA on X50v, but with bluetooth, I assumed everything was working (since COM ports work fine).
I used bluetooth for network sharing at some point, which required a hacked Widcomm driver for a USB dongle, but that's a different story (and a different PPC using a CF bluetooth card anyway).

Can't pair my BA with GPS Navigator

Hello!
I have a car GPS Navigator which has a feature to pair with a mobile phone or PDA via bluetooth to use it as handsfree, view contacts, make calls from GPS screen ans so on. Both devices can see each other via bluetooth but the problem is that they can't pair. My BA has WM6.1 installed, I haven't any problems with bluetooth yet. May be BA does't support this functionality or it does'n have appropriate Bluetooth Profile ?
May be it would be useful to someone with similar issue. My bluetooth problem has been resolved just by installing WM6.5 ROM ! I've tried almost all versions of WM6.5 located on xda-developers and every one has the bt stack much better than WM6.1 has.
