Hi- I keep hearing about this alternative to the MS stack. Where can I get it? Is it really an improvement over MS's?
Download the file BluetoothGPS.zip find on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4429&highlight=bluetoothgps+zip+widcom
You get two bluetooth stacks but can't use them both simultaneously.

I believe Jabra 250/258 has the best connection insofar.
G2 seems to be good as well.
I understand Nokia BT does not use generic BT standards, and
Sony Ericsson Headsets are erratic.
Cheers.
Thanks Henry,
has anyone tried upgrading the bluetooth stack? Also in Singapore the XDA2 has a decent BT headset in their recent offer, what make is this?
lots of people have upgraded their bluetooth stack well not really upgraded because ms dont have any upgrades
but you can put the vidcomm bluetooth stack on it a lot of people in the forum have don that
You can find the Widcomm stuff here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11729
do you have any instructions for Widcomm, tried to install but kept getting errors for all exe files
Hi All,
Has anyone got the Widcomm stack working on the Magician (Jam etc)?
The 1.5.0.8 stack worked both under WM2003 and WM2003se on an MDAII but doesn't work on the magician.
Does the magician use a different bluetooth module ? Is it possible to adapt the registry?
Any help in getting this working, or any other solutions to get the magician connected to a BT Access point would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Martin
WIDCOMM STACK
I ALSO NEED THE WIDCOMM STACK FOR THE MAGICIAN
WHY DO THESES MANUFACTURERS ALWAYS COME UP WITH THE APPALLING ALTERNATIVE BLUETOOTH STACKS
DID NO ONE LEARN FROM THE XDA 2 !!
WIDCOMM IS GREAT EVEN ON THE HP 6340.
Working BlueSoleil BT Stack
I think this is what you're searching for...
It works for me.I'm using 1.13 radio, 1.13 Rom, no ExtRom.
It hasn't got 60 days evaulation, and added a Bluetooth switch to switch BlueSoleil Stack to MS Stack and vice versa, if you want to.
Try it and post the result...

The led does not work but bluetooth itself does. I have no led too, bluesoleil runs pretty ok for the things it must do.

I think the bluesoleil does not support the phone BT headset, only the stereo BT headset. That's not much good for a Pocket PC phone.

That is the Microsoft BT stack, when the Magician was on the drawing boards it was thought that the industry would go MS. Instead it went WIDCOMM.
The Magician could run WIDCOMM, but someone would have to write hardware drivers, and no one has. So no, it cannot be done. Too bad, the WIDCOMM works so well...
Thx
This file is 100% working fine with I-Mate JAM Black. Thx.
HyperMalac: ive tried that on my magician, but it wont work, it want me to configure the driver or something...
When installed, using BlueSoleil stack, a window pops up saying
"Your bluetooth device initialization fails! Do you want to configure it manually?"
If i select no it just shuts down and my blutooth is unusable.
If i select yes it wants me to select among a couple of options:
USB, BCSP, UART(H4)
and user defined, which forces me to select a dll, but i dont know which...
Ive tried all options and none works....
Help whit this is VERY MUCH appriciated!
EDIT: Now for which every reason, it worked, dunno what I did, but now I'll never switch back to MS stack!
i have an imate jam. i have paired my imate with my computer. the problem i have is i would like to use my computer as a headset. inother words i would like to use the computers speakers and mic over the bluetooth for my imate. i can do this with other mobiles i have but would like to find a way to do it with my imate.

Don't know I'm not so into the BT business yet (only got a BT gps). There's a BlueSoleil BT stack as well you should be able to find it easily.
Success, M
did a search and could not find this stack.
Have you been here?

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased an O2 Xda Stealth and a Sony DR-BT20NX BT stereo headset. After spending a lot of time trying every single mp3 player, I've come to the following conclusion: The Bluetooth stack in the Stealth sucks: random crashes, lost connection, constant skipping of music etc.
So I was wondering if there is any way to install a better BT stack. Widcomm maybe, or something else. Is it doable?

Hello,
Bt MS stack is apparently not compatible with all BT headset, hands free en car kit devices. I have been trying to pair my pocketphone pda with a pioneer car kit without a successful result, the image of the hands free appears on the BT manager ‘as pioneer BT unit’, but the standard pin code 0000 or 1111 is always rejected.
Pioneer technical service couldn’t help, they say normally it should work with almost all BT headset devices and a compatibility list of the product is not available.
I guess the problem lays on the BT package. Is there a way to solve this issue by creating for example a BT compatibility patch, or changing something in the registry to make it compatible. Widcomm stack is better en compatible than the MS stack according to many users. Does anybody have any clue?
My device is upgraded to WM6 with always the same sad result.
Thanks
Hi, I have a pioneer bluetooth stereo in my car too, Found it a bit difficult to get paired at first, but it eventually worked. Although it would not give me the hands free profile, only the headset profile, which means I have to initiate and anwer the calls from the phone :-(
thinking about looking at the widcomm stack if I can get it running on WM6
For your information, I have tried the widcomm om my device ‘the last version’, but when I click on the bt icon in today screen, the blue led start flashing for a while but stops with “ memory storage error” . There are some bugs which should be corrected or some registry hack to get it work. However, the widcomm is far much better and stable than the MS BT stack ‘this later sucks’.
Apparently, you have a built-in bt unit, I have a pioneer 6800 + BT unit device optional, it worked perfectly with my old qtek 9090 as a hands-free and an BT audio device without any problem.
