My XDAII wont connect to GPS. I have tomtom5 installed on my xdaII and have tried a BT GPS receiver and a wired one. It will ask you the device type unpon installation and then the port number.
no i dea which port to use and have tried then all anyway. I get a message no device connected. I cannot keep my BT device connect when i pair it either. Tried this on a XDAIIs aswell and exactly same prob.
Please help!!
i would try unchecking "recieve all beam files" in connections
to release com1
and try once more
Turn off beams releases com 1 for the wired gps. I think wired gps is the way to go if you need it for incar use only, I see far too many problems with bluetooth and if you have no sense of direction like me it is very annoying when the bluetooth decides to start acting stupid.
i will try
thanks guys im away from home till wknd so i will try this when i get back.
i will let you know if it works.
thanks
Yup that worked great thanks guys
Long time reader, less time poster so don't NOOBIFY me please. Thanks.
OK. I've flashed several roms, enjoying frying my Wizard into something new for the past year and a half. Nuff said bout that...we are all there if we are on this board.
I actually had it BT-AS working on my MDA with one of the roms, forgot which one unfortunately. I never had problems with the WIDCOMM/BROADCOMM stack on my old AXIM wth WM2003SE with activesync profile but I guess that is the difference with Broadcom and the cruddy Microsoft Stack.
My favorite ROM is the OCTAIVOI 6.0 so far. I tried out the bluetooth activesync and it will NEVER give me an activesync profile, just the serial port profile.
The MDA also seems to only have ports 6 and 7 open for bluetooth purposes.
Now I have tried registry hacks from other postings and other fixes that seem to work only with previous activesync 4.2. I USE 4.5. I know Microsoft jacked with it for some dubious security reason (which is irrelevant to home users...only enterprise users)
Anyway. Has someone got this thing to work? I love my ROM but am willing to ditch it for something that has a properly functioning connection thru AS and BT.
Thanks.
(some seem to have tried to port the Bluetooth stack from x50-51 from Dell over to wizard..has that worked out?)
too many questions...again..don't kill the "noob" poster.
Thanks

Did you flash your carrier rom before flashing 6.0
In 5.9 it did not work for me, but in 6.0, bluetooth active sync works for me.
Great advice on flashing carrier ROM first.
This is something I usually do and when jumping from one OCTAIVOI to another, I skipped the step.
Giving it a go and will report back.
Thanks for your patience and kind answer.
I hope this works..as trying to uninstall activesync 4.5 and putting 4.2 was fruitless. WM6 says I have to use 4.5 when I guess I remember my old WM5 roms allowing 4.2.
Lets get flashing.
Reflashing with 2.26 ROM then WM6 doesn't solve BT-AS Prob
I tried the advice given above, normally excellent catchall to fix a lot of problems. This time, it unfortunately is stuck on the *&*& serial port option with no option for Activesync again.
To see how it used to work in original T-Mobile 2.26 WWE, I reflashed it and it worked beautifully. Ok, so I wasn't nuts for remembering that it worked in WM 5.0. However, putting Octaivoi 6.0 on it or several other ROMS in the last few months does not allow proper BT connectivity in using Activesync.
TNT, Blackdiamond, NBD (Where are U Zoki?) are some of the ROMS I remember having problems with also. It could be that you got it to work? Chime in.
I am going to go back to an INgeNetics type rom from original Wizard wm6.0 ports and see if they work.
I love the features on .1908, .1921, 1933,.1938 type roms but this is ridiculous to not work. Maybe I'll try that .1948 on I just saw on the boards.
ANYBODY have more input on this. SOMEBODY else tell me that they are having this problem...EVEN BETTER...FOUND A SOLUTION.
sorry for shouting...about to toss my MDA in the toilet over this.
(blasphemy)
Note also, i followed some adive that was given to me in 5.9 that didn't work. But did in 6.0
Remove all paring before flashing to 6.0
Remove all bluetooth settings also in rom.
Flash
Re-pair
Mine worked on my Wizard.
Hope that may provide some incite.
Am I the only one who is having Bluetooth-Activesync Problems?
Rocoafz-thanks for all your input. You seem to be the only one who is not apathetic to this issue. I've seen your other posts on other threads and I know you went through a lot of what I am going through now. Thanks for understanding.

Tried this and unfortunately all I still get is the serial port option and no opportunity to do both incoming and outgoing com ports like you can in basic windows mobile 5.0 "T-Mobile 2.26" rom or in Button 1.05 rom.
Hell I started fresh. Uninstalled my Dell Bluetooth (widcomm stack) from laptop, uninstalled Activesync 4.5...so no more pairings at all.
Fresh flashed the carrier rom.
Installed fresh WM6 ROM.
Result.
Same nonsense. Different day....oh well.
In WM5 I have no problem connecting but nothing seems to be working.
I am wondering if a bluetooth stack can be corrupted from all the flashing or is each flash a true clean wipe that gives you a fresh start. Is there something residual from another ROM or registry hack that is screwing with this? Just curious.
APPRECIATION To any forum member with solutions or attempted solutions.
It just sucks to not have this function as my laptop seems to OVERHEAT when I am USB connected for Activesync.

Of course, I reinstalled them before reflashing. LOL.

Possible Answers and a Question
To answer your question: XDA Mobile v5 (of mfazzz) does have a working ActiveSync via BT - I used it. However, it has another problem: files don't sync no matter how you connect (wi-fi or cable).
NTS's ROMs also sync via BT.
Octaivoi is a nice ROM though - I'm using it myself now and am quite happy with it. It would be nice to crack this bug...
If you do have the ability to add ports in the BT menu, it should be doable - that's how I did it with other ROMs.
I'm not sure I understand your post completely though: do you or do you not have an option under BT to add ports? I'm asking since I don't - that's what is preventing me from getting ActiveSync run via BT.
I'll still stick with Octaivoi though (at least, for now) - I like this ROM. And, perhaps we (or somebody else) will figure out how to do it.

BT active Sync
For i have tried allmost every WM6 rom available on this board
but only TNT rom's have working Active sync via Bluetooth
You could try this procedure too (at least I will have a feedback if it's working for somebody else too )

Thanks for the new round of input on BT-AS issues.
Each bit of new information provides us with a solution eventually.
I have been deleting COM ports on my laptop that were blocking my use of COM3 and COM5 etc.
Figured out how to kill them finally and recreate bare COM ports for use by whatever USB or BT device I wanted.
Only snag now is I must have killed my entire internal BT adapter for my Dell laptop...thats another story.
I'll try to put in my Kensington BT USB dongle and try from scratch.
I think I am getting somewhere.
Should be able to add ports again from the Wizard side, usually 6 and 7.
Found another program, not shareware called VSPB..virtual serial Port builder. It may or may not help with this Serial Port problem.

My Bluetooth will not correctly connect to my car. It will connect at first setup and will automatically connect the first day,but the 2nd day it will not connect at all. I will,turn off Bluetooth and turn back on and will not connect. I have to restart the phone for it to work. But then the next day it won't automatically connect again. My setup is mikg 2.5 and freedom v 0.8.5. It worked without the kernel change. Was wondering if it's the kernel or something else. I can't post on developer forum because don't have enough post. I have HTC evo 4g. I like the kernel because of overclock and voltage adjustment. Is there a fix? Please help!!!

I have the same problem even running the stock kernel. If I'm not mistaken, the kernel is what drives the BT, so I'm thinking it might be a problem with the rom itself. I haven't found a fix for it yet and don't know what else to do about it except flash another rom. If you have to keep sense I recommend SNS v1.6 and for AOSP either Deck's or Cyanogen. Both roms connect to BT much faster than MikG with the stock kernel, and I've experienced no reconnect issues since after a full week of use. Hope this helps.
Hi there
I have an "issue" on my device.
I'm on marshmallow (yep I know.. but) ^^
On first attempt to connect to any BT-device the connection will be unsuccessfull, the second one will work as intended. That wouldn't be a problem is the system would try to connect to ALL my listed BT devices, one after the other one.
I develop BT speakers as hobby. I have about 15 BT devices listed.. you can imagine the frustration I have when I have to wait 5-10min that he succeed to come back to the first one I tried to connect -.-'
Does anyone knows how I can force connect to one specific device? I feel pretty stupid, but I didn't found any settings for my BT
Grüß,
H.
