Bluetooth Gamepad - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi all, I currently have an out of contract Tytn II and am looking to upgrade to a Touch Pro 2 soon. I notice that the bluetooth stack appears to have changed and I wondered if anyone knows whether the bluetooth gamepad will work with it? I tried without success to make my gamepad work with my Tytn II and had the same problem with my old Wizard in that it refused to connect. Installing the Widcomm stack on my Wizard made it connect but I have my Tytn II by then. Does anyone know if it works with this new stack? Cheers.

The new stack on the Rhodium is a Widcomm stack, no idea if it works with the gamepad though, but can gaurantee that if it doesn't now, it will be able to in the future. I thought the Wizard had a Widcomm stack by default too........
Cheers,
Beasty

is the bluetooth stack from Broadcom or Widcomm?

gamepad
i heard the gamepad would work with magician. i did some testing with my ralph and got the gamepad to scroll around my menus but my games would not render after installing gamepad drivers. (pocketnester and pac-man) couldnt say why however. with my tp2 i have had very little luck. (i was able to setup a serial port but that was it)

What is magician? Also, on your TP2 do you know what bluetooth stack you are using? and do you run Win Mo 6.1 or 6.5.x?

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
PDACorner.V10 - New ROM i am testing right now
What map software and GPS units are everyone using?
maybe theres a incompatibilty problem with certain makes of GPS and wm6.1
im using destinator 7 and igo6 with a holux 240 GPSlim

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

how to get Stowaway BT driver work with WM6

I'm using HTC Trinity WM6 and wish to use my old Stowaway universal Bluetooth keyboard working? i cannot find driver for WM6. anyone have it?
please help!! i love my BT keyboard and wish to get it work again.
thanks
Attached is the driver I use for my Kaiser WM6/6.1, dunno if it'll work on your Trinity or not.
If not here is the drivers page: http://corporate.igo.com/support/Drivers.asp. Just choose your manufacturer and model.
Note that WM6 comes with basic keyboard drivers -- you only need to install a driver if you want to use special functionality such as customized keys. I use the built-in drivers on my Kaiser with a BT keyboard (not the Stowaway, but supposedly compatible).
htc tytn II and sierra bt keyboard
everybody,
trying to connect / use my new sierra bt keyboard with my htc tytn II and nothing works,.... if i go through the htc the keyboard is detected, asks for a security code, does not recognise the one i put in, (although the instructions say pick one of your choice), and does not connect.
if i go through the keyboard CAB installed on the htc, still cannot connect,.... i am not exactly a 'newbie' but if someone could give a step by step direction on how to get this to work, i would be very grateful,....
thanks,
ek
sorry everyone, i used elyspar's CAB file on my htc tytn II,.... thanks for your help,....ek
found a vid on youtube very helpful,.... it's actually quite simple to connect, so maybe i need to retract, i am a newbie,....
here's the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8HAge9yJu4
no functionality though, just basic input, good for emails / word, but limited,....
guess i have to install the driver on my kaiser somehow,....
Hi everybody, can you tell me which driver i have to install for my Niki? It's not on the list...
Thank you very much.

I could use an Apple Alu BT KB with HTC TyTN (not II). Paired. Without any special driver. Remember to press Enter on the KB after the code. Now I have a new Touch HD and I get it paired but nothing happens clicking on the keyboard...
I will start installing drivers which I find here suggested and will report.
iGo stowaway BT keyboard and WM6
Hello all,
I originally posted this message in a Blackstone forum, but as this problem probably relates to WM6 in general I thought I would post here
I have an igo bluetooth keyboard and I am using Blackstone phone (running the usual WM6.1 proffessional. I installed the igo software and everything worked fine except that phone crashed a lot. Not so useful. I then uninstalled the software and paired the keyboard using the onboard Bluetooth keyboard drivers. All worked well for one run through and I was able to type away. However I have not got the thing to work again since, even after re-pairing the devices. Does anyone haev any thoughts about what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
Tom
Hello Guys, partly not to the topic hear....
I have an igo stowaway keyboard and a travel mouse and i have been using them with my fusi n560 (wm 6.0). Now I bought a Nokia 5800 mobile phone with symbian s60v3 touch. The keyboard came with multiple driver including both wm and symbian versions, but the mause came only with wm driver. Now the question is: do you happen to know how could I use my mouse with my symbian device? Sorry for asking symbian related question here....
Special Characters and the Sierra Stowaway
I have previously used the Sierra Bluetooth Keyboard and it worked flawlessly on my T-Mobile Wing running WM5... I recently tried to port the same driver suggested by ek... (PPC5) to the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2, WM6.1.
It works on all keys, including the function keys, but cannot produce the specialty characters on the 5th, number-row, i.e., [email protected]#$%^&*()
Everything else seems to work fine... anybody come across a fix for this?
Thanks!
JSS
I've been interested in acquiring an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my PDA too.
But from skimming other people's post, looking at what was successful on the internet (e.g. the guy on youtube with the Mio who paired with the Apple BT Keyboard), it seems that all the success stories come from people running WM5/6
Anything 6.1 and above seems to not work in general, although you have some success stories like from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486595
Has anyone successfully paired with 6.1-6.5?

I have similar problems with my Samsung Omnia, WM6.1 and the German Stowaway Keyboard (QWERTZ) with the driver 4.51.
Just the keys !$& are not working.
Could there be a workaround like using ASCI numbers?
I tried ALT+33 to get a "!" but had no success.
Does anybody else has some suggestions?
Thanks,
Sigi

I solved my problem:
I installed the English driver 4.52
(I have an English ROM and use a German Keyboard)
The driver was changed from version Ger4.51 to Eng4.52 on several places and I think they solved some Bugs.
I resetted my Omnia after the installation.
Because the problem still existed, I resetted the Omnia once again, while the Stowaway keyboard was selected in the keyboard menu.
After that reset all the characters worked like the should.
Hope that helps.

Think Outside Stowaway BT mouse and Keyboard

Hi all,
I ran into a problem trying to get my Stowaway Bluetooth keyb and mouse working. It looks to me as if the new BT stack is the problem. To rule that out I am trying to replace the current stack ( Broadcom is it? ) with one as in the Touch. I guess that would be the Microsoft one?
Anyone can tell me how or where to find it ,and has some experience. Could that be it?
Tnx in advance... Marco
[BUMP] Think Outside Stowaway BT mouse and Keyboard
I am looking for the solution to this as well. I was bummed when I could not use my Think Outside bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my Sprint TP2 as I used them several times a week. Trying to figure out if it is the bluetooth stack or the driver. New drivers are not being produced. Any comments?

Bluetooth mouse

I have a stowaway travel mouse made by 'think outside', that I was using on windows 6.1 on my TYTN II with no problems.... however, I simply cant get it working on the Touch pro 2... I was wondering if anybody out there have got a bluetooth mouse working.... I have narrowed it down to something to do with a different bluetooth stack in touch pro 2.
anyone?.......
See if you can find info on other recent phones that use the same BT stack as the TP2. Might be some info there specific to your mouse.
edit: this post makes mention of a BT mouse, no detail tho: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4259761&postcount=2

Alternative to MobileRemote for the Touch Pro 2?

I used to use MobileRemote by MobileSRC.com with my touch pro and it worked great as an easy to use keyboard/mouse combo for my Home Theater PC.
I have been trying to get it to work on the TP2 though and finally I decided to search a bit and found a post on the MobileRemote forums saying that it will not work at all on the TP2 due to the changed BlueTooth Stack (Widcomm) that is included by default on the TP2.
(I believe this is the same thing that causes some issues with TomTom, but that's a different topic)
I was just curious if anyone can recommend a similar program, where I can use my TP2 as the keyboard and a trackpad or an air mouse for a windows PC? If anyone has tested them out and know what works with the TP2 please let me know. Thanks!
there are a couple out there but you have to install a software on the PC and on your device for them to work.
The beauty about MobileRemote is that you don't need to do that so the computer automaticly senses it as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
I was also upset that it doesn't work with the Widcomm BT Stack because now i can't use it with my PS3 and it was the only option.
My solution would be to get the MS BT Stack ported over to the Rhodium because the Widcomm stack has caused other issues for me on top of this one.
