I am considering to buy an I-Mate SP5 smart phone which I believe supports Bluetooth v. 1.2. Also I am getting a GPS receiver that supports Bluetooth 2.0. Do you think there would be any compatibility issue communicating between those two devices? Are the Bluetooth version backward compatible?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a Nokia HDW2 bluetooth headset for the XDA2, it's pretty bad, keeps dropping off, not sure if their is a better bluetooth headset on the market or whether I need to upgrade the bluetooth stack on the XDA2, any advice please?

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
I dunno wuts wrong with my universal (it's JasJar Actually)... I have a Cadillac and it doesn't connect with car's bluetooth.. it always says connection faliure... same goes with all pocket PC's I tried
While other phones.. Nokia, siemens, sonyericsson does connect...
Wuts the problem?
This will probably be because of the fact that your car kit only supports the "Hands-free" profile. I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro (also JasJar make) and have the same problem. As long as Windows Mobile only supports the "Headset" profile we won't have any luck.
I have read that M$ is planning a WM5 update/patch that adds Hands-free profile support, but I haven't seen any releases out there that include this.
Hi @ all
This seems to be very special, but stil I hope for a solution.
I got a new ETEN M600. It's a WM5 based device, and it has the standard f**** Microsoft Bluetooth Stack.
The Nokia 616 is a great CarKit. To pair it, the mobile device needs to handle the Handsfree or/and the Sim Access Profile. Headset profile is not enough.
Both profiles are not included in WM5. Is there any way (!) to get this profiles to M600? Has anyone a solution or an idea?

Hello Volker,
I don't know the Eten-device, mine's a Qtek 9000 / HTC Universal, also a WM5 device.
I have the Nokia CarKit 616 as well, and nearly the same problem... the bluetooth profile headset is found but the connection is shut down a second after it is established.
The Qtek supports SAP in the newest ROM of T-Mobile (ROM 1.20.34 GER, radio 1.06.00, I installed it skipping the ExtROM, so it works with E-Plus). But my CarKit get stucked in establishing the connection.
This is, AFAIK a problem of the Nokia firmware (it's now 2.40/2.22 BlackBox/Display). This bug should be solved with 3.17/3.00 firmware.
I will test it and give feedback, but today I'm leaving for holidays for 2 weeks.
I just came across a Cingular 2125 running Windows Mobile v6.1 being used on ATT Wireless network here in the states, An upgrade from my Nokia 6085. I would like to make it GPS Enabled even if I have to purchase a Bluetooth GPS Receiver (since I cant get my BT353 USB GPS Receiver work.)
Most all of the BlueTooth GPS Receivers I see use the Serial Port Profile (SPP) and I cant tell for sure but from what I read and can tell the 2125 doesnt support this Bluetooth Profile.
Yet alot of wesite I see including the ATT website says the 2125 supports external bluetooth gps receivers. Says 2125 is compatible with ATT Navigator with use of a BT-359C via SPP so im confused.
Can I used GPS Navigating software on the 2125 running WM5? And if so What GPS Reciever can I use. I was hoping to be able to use my BR-353 but not sure were to find usb driver that will work under WM5. The ones provided from usglobalsat are only for PPC and not WM6.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
SomeGuy
Anyone?
Just want to make sure that if I purchase a Bluetooth GPS Receiver it will work. Any recommendations on any paticular gps receiver?
SomeGuy
:BUMP:
Will a Bluetooth GPS that supports SPP profile work with the Cingular 2125?
Please Please!
I've used both of the Dell Bluetooth GPS units. One is the BT309 and I'm not sure the number of the newer model. I don't see why any Bluetooth GPS wouldn't work. Just select it and add a serial port for the connection. Then point whatever software you have to it. I'm using TomTom 5.2 which I guess is the last version for smartphone. I read somewhere that you could also run TomTom 6 (PPC version) but I can't figure out how (unless you use a ppc rom?).
I am working on an application, which communicate through a Bluetooth Socket.
It runs in the background, doing Device discoveries and connect to know devices.
The Bluetooth devices is programmed to not Bond to other devices and not to use "Man in the middle" security.
On HTC devices using "only" Bluetooth 2.0 i can programmaticaly connect to these devices and communicate, without interrupting the user.
(testet on HTC Artemis, TYTN2, Herald, Diamond, Pro, even an old Eten M700)
But on Bluetooth 2.1 the user have to accept the connecting all the time.
(tested on HTC Pro2 and Desire)
The app. is ported from J2ME where i am able to connect all the time without a popup.
(tested on Nokia 2730 (BT2.0), Sony Ericsson Elm (BT2.1) and Nokia 6700 Classic (BT2.1) all working)
I have found thread saying, it all about security in BT2.1, but then why does it work on new Nokias and SEs?!?!
Is there a way to connect without the confirmation popup (WM + Android) ?
------------ added --------
I should properly mention, that all the working HTC devices uses a Microsoft Bluetooh stack, and the Pro2 uses Widcomm Bluetooh stack.
Auto pairing fails after switch off and on bluetooth device
I have same problem but scenario is different. It does not work with Android 4.4 or above, except that auto pair works as expected.
If anybody has solution with 4.4, it will be appreciated.
