Recently I had this problem. My friend was able to download
files from my device ( Omnia 2 WM 6.5 ) to his HTC device
using the blue tooth. It was not intentional but it happened
when he tried to connect his phone to mine using the
BT connection.
Is there any special program that can prevent such things
from happening..or rather allow the owner of the phone to
have control over his device, while sending or receiving
files by BT.
Thank you.

What about using in no discoverable mode?

That function just allow you to make your fone visible or not.
It gives you no control on what is allowed to be sent out..
or am I mistaken ?.

Hi folks:
I wanted to gather experience on Bluetooth on the XDA II. How well does it work? Impressions with the Jabra headset seem to be mixed according to one of our forums.
But what about other BT devices? What have you tried and how well has it worked?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando
Do a look through this forum but
It doesn't work currently with a BT GPS device (Emtac or TomTom)
There are a couple of others it doesn't work with as well...
From southern china(but Japanese :lol: )
The bluetooth can get connection of GPRS through the another B/T phone
such like a Sonny Ericson T610<<But for what? :idea:
Also can be received files like pictures, wav files, and etc from B/T phone
or B/T PDA.-----but stil can't find how to send from Xda ll to them
Tried to Xdall as external modem for Note PC through the B/T, but still not
be successfull.
How did you get it to receive files from other bluetooth devices?
file to Xdao2ll from device
very simple,turned on the bluetooth both of xdao2ll & the device which is about to sent out file, and use the command "sent by b/t" or some like similor command or menu on the device.
and select the name of bonded xdao2ll. after second,xdao2ll will show u the dialogue such like "xxx is sending files, do u accept?" (forget exact sentence...)
just u accept it. you can find sent file in xdao2ll. u must compliete bonding(pairing) between xdao2ll that device before do that.
Battery life
I use a Belkin dongle and use ActiveSync to give me a way to browse the Internet around my house. Works quite well, but the battery life is apalling. It's just gone down 3% in the time I've been writing this message!
Anybody know if the Bluetooth implementation is flawed as regards switching between class I, classII and class III power levels? It feels like the XDA is using 100mW when it should be using 1mW.
Hi,
In the connections menu I have a sub menu called "beam".
Is this anything to do with an infra red beam as the phone doesn't appear to have an ir port?
Thanks
This is simply part of WM. you are right, there is no IR hardware on the Vox, the most this might be able to do is enable/disable BT OBEX transfers.
Hi,
Phone does not have IR port. Beamed information could be via Bluetooth.

He is right the person who started thread didn't even read manual. It is written in manual which comes with Vox that beam is via bluetooth for sending contacts etc.
Thanks for the help.
skchattha - I am 2 frustrated because of replies like the one tipu2185 wrote.
tipu2185 - The phone is a company one and I didn't get a manual.
Hi,
Since a few days im a proud owner of a HTC desire.
On this device i am trying to connect my bluetooth OBD2 car diagnose device.
Unfortunatly i cannot get it working.
What i did was search for the device in bluetooth settings, pair it with the phone (The bluetooth device says paired, but disconnected), and change the settings in the obd2 app to make sure it uses the device ( i tried torque and obd2 reader). This will result in the following bluetooth error :
1270932653682 **** OBD Comms thread starting ****
1270932653682 **** Connecting to OBD via bluetooth ****
1270932653686 **** Connecting to OBD via bluetooth (1) ****

The previous phone i had was a touch pro 2 running Windows mobile. I managed to use the diagnose device on this phone for a while without any issues.
What i am thinking is that i maybe miss out on a step on the android phone to get it working. This is because on my windows mobile phone i had to setup a serial port first. Could this be different in android, or am i doing something wrong?
Any help is welcome!
Anyone with ideas ?
Thanks alot!
do you need the software on the phone to run the obd2 connector? do they have that software available or is it just for data logging? the connection is there but there is no software calling for the data connection.
good luck. hopefully. the manufacturer developes or ports their software to Android
Yes you need to software to communicate with the obd2 bluetooth connector. You pair it with the phone, and then need to software to get the info.
There are currently 2 apps available, but they both fail to work. I thought it could maybe be a bug in android, but i can't seem to find any info about it.
I also expected i could have made a mistake while pairing the device to the phone, since i am only using android for a few weeks
it should be working, the only thing is that further down the debug the bluetooth stack blows up inside a native method

I'm itching to see what the UUIDs your bluetooth device advertises
Hey ! we have spoken through email
Im trying to see how i can get the UUID of the device. I tried it with my ubuntu laptop, but couldnt find it yet.
Im using the same bluetooth device as listed on the torque website, the one with the blue sticker on the side
I have bonded the adapter with my laptop. Then setup Serial port.
I did not manage to get the UUID yet, is the info below helpfull?

Yep thats fine on the bluetooth info, this is looking like a bug in androids handling of bluetooth, and it's a weird one at that.
Is your firmware a completley stock ROM for the phone? You haven't put a modified ROM onto it?
Well good to hear you at least know what is wrong.
My rom is a stock rom. This is the info from settings, software information :
Firmwareversion :
2.1-update1
Smallbandversion :

The phone's model number is HTC Desire A8181
Do you know what the bug consists of?
Thanks again !
Sorry, I haven't replied earlier, been busy for a few days.
It's looking very much like a bluetooth stack issue on the HTC Desire. Googling a reveals a couple more grumblings with the desires bluetooth stack but nothing concrete. Unfortunately I haven't got one of the devices directly to play with to verify my assumption, so fixing it is probably not going to happen (if I am able to work around the bug at all!).
Unfortunately I'll have to say you're out of luck /for the moment/, if one of my friends aquires one (or I can reproduce it on my Nexus one if/whenever Google/Brightpoint decide to deliver it!) then I will try to reproduce the fault and to get it to work for you (from my point of view I want this to work with as many devices/vehicles as possible!!)
Ian
Is there anything i can help you with? as i also really like to use this app.
If you provide me with things to check, gather or investigate i would be happy to do so!

Hi
Just to let you know I managed to sort a workaround out for torque with regards to the bluetooth problems and it is now connecting fine

I've been a android user since Sept '09 (G1/Dream) and now I recently got my X10.
I've had a Nokia 770,800, and now N810. I used a application called 'Carman' which would read a OBD2 Bluetooth unit which was connected in my car. I would simply plug it into the port under my steering wheel and it would show up easily on my Nokia. The software worked great.
There is code available, and the website for carman is: http://openbossa.indt.org/carman/
The bluetooth unit I got was this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16921 (although mine is orange, got mine back in Dec '08)
It would be great to see this being ported over to Android. Hopefully this is helpful!

Hello!
Are there any known issues with Android and bt devices? I can't seem to get my desire and a bt obd reader to pair, the phone doesn't even see it.

yeah i've been searching for awhile and apparently HTC broke the stock bluetooth stack with some kind of proprietary settings that makes most advanced functions not work (HID, SPP, etc) it appears if you use a rom thats not sense based (like cyanogenmod) then the profiles work
Hi all,
I have searched and searched the forum and the internet but can find no answer to this issue.
I'm using an HTC Touch Dual (Neon 200) that I had set up to connect to my PC via bluetooth for Activesync.
No problems there, it all worked fine. The issue comes with my attempts to automate the synchronization. I had found and successfully used a program called CT Scheduler to start the bluetooth radio and then instigate the "Windows/repllog.exe" file to start a bluetooth activesync.
In Activesync, on the Touch, I go to "Menu-->Connections--->when cradled, synchronize all pc's using.........."
I had the option to select "`USB" or "`DIRECTORSOFFICE" (the name of my PC).
Now, I have no idea how the "`DIRECTORSOFFICE" option got there but I selected it and it all worked fine. I could connect via USB or Bluetooth and the auto-sync worked fine.
BUT, Here's the kicker, after a hard reset, I've restablished all my connections via bluetooth etc. and can manually initiate a sync via bluetooth. HOWEVER in the Activesync connections I can no longer select aything other than "`USB". For the life of me I cannot remember how I got the Touch to give me that other option and it is the ONLY thing preventing the auto bluetooth sync from working.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Hi and welcome to XDA,
did you do a H-Reset or a new rom flash? the new rom may not support BT Activesync, you should also pair your phone to your PC, that may enable the option
Eh - my bad...should have specified in my OP. This is running stock WinMo 6.1 Professional.
Did you pair to your PC?
Not this time around.....dammit you know that sounds like it might be it! I'll have to a backup, hard reset and try it out.
If that's truly the case and I can get that option available again then I have a really tidy solution for people wanting to Autosync via Bluetooth.
(Although this is probably not an issue nowadays as most phones are coming with WiFi, so I guess people are syncing that way)

OK, got too excited there. Of course I must have paired it with the PC or I wouldn't have been able to Activesync via BT manually right?

Depends what stack you have
Sorry, i don't think i can help
If i find anything, i'll let you know
Default MS BT stack for WinMo Pro 6.1. I haven't changed anything on this ROM at all.
I must have done something during BT setup that allowed that option to appear but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was!
It's not a huge deal as I luckily had a backup with that configuration working, I was just being a bit anal about doing a complete clean install, there were a few programs I wanted to get rid of and felt my phone had slowed up a bit.
Cheers.
Hi all,
I am trying to hack the jvc kw-nt30 becose a few functions on the device disturb me a lot.
So is it that the jvc kw-nt30 has a function that you can not while driving change your navigation settings,
This means if you drive 5KM/hour you can not change the drive settings,
I know the device can connect with Bluetooth and obex but it can only one way and that is from the phone to the device and not from the device to the phone or something else, so i can not browse the files in the device.
So can you guys help me with hacking this windows embedded device ?
Thanks
In advance
P.s. i was thinking of creating a mp3 that execute registry code that enables browsing with obex ?
If its anything like my Kenwood bt900 there is a grounds wire connected at the back (not the black one, I think it was solid green) and when the vehicle isn't moving it is open, and closes when you drive, so just cutting it is enough to get full functionality at all speeds
On many in dash/GPS/DVD players there is a pink wire that is supposed to go to the ebrake you can hook it up to a momentary push button switch, off the two legs(wires) of the switch connect one to ground and other to the pink wire. Push the switch once hold it in, let off and push it again. When I was an installer if the radio didn't have a code we used that method. It worked fine.
