Hi
My Topaz died over the holidays (oil spot under the screen) and in a fit of half drunken exuberance I ordered a HD2 from devicewire. I now have a shiny HD2 and I think I'm in LOVE
I already had the Sense UI installed on my Topaz (Duty's excellent Holy Grail R6 ROM) so it's not so much the UI which appeals, but everything is LOVELY when rendered on that gorgeous screen. Sitting in bed connecting to guardian.co.uk thru wi-fi, I can read the text on the mainpage without any zoom and the pages render so fast, it's like a flipping laptop!
BUT ... I have a problem. A problem related to the Widcomm stack. I have previously used Jetware to access the BT interface in my Audi for a number of HTC phones over the years. Unfortunately jetware won't work at all with the Widcomm stack. It's ironic, because the phone will actually sync fine with the car, but it tries to sync the entire phonebook (in excess of 1100 numbers). In the past, I've used Jetware to only sync around 80 of these contacts to the car (I put them in an outlook category called "car" and told jetware to only sync those).
I realise this is a pretty specific requirement, but I either need a version of Jetware which plays with the Widcomm stack, or an app that will only allow the vanilla Bluetooth in the phone to send ONLY the "car" category contacts to the phone. Anyone have any ideas? Due to my job, the people I need to talk to regularly can change quite a bit.
Any help much appreciated!!!
Thanks
Stoatie
Really? no-one? I'd offer £50 paypal payment to anyone who can make Jetware run on the Widcomm stack ... surely someone like Duty could knock this out in an afternoon??
I was also trying to install the jetware extension on my hd2 to get rid of the bluetooth connection problems with my carkit (losing connection after some time). But unfortunately it is not available yet on the widcomm stack...
Please post this when available....
Thanks
Dion
Another $50,- from me, if someone can make it...
I am having the same problem as well ... cant load the extensions in HD2

Hello there!
I was seriously thinking about buying myself one of those Bluetooth stereo headsets. Unfortunately they need the A2DP Profile which isn't included in our present MS BT stack.
I have read a lot in this forum about transferring the Broadcomm/Widcomm stack - a guy even offered 200$ on success. Yet so far no success.
Now I was wondering if it would not be easier to add that profile to the existing stack somehow? By "somehow" I mean that I am not a programmer and havbe no clue how to do so on my own.
Any suggestions or help?
Cheers, <))><
Hey Guys!
At least a simple "No" or some reply would be nice. I can't imagine that I am the only one who looks for something like that
Well I just tried to find a thread for you over at Howard Forums but was not successful. Go over there there is a poster named "whtrbt7" he seems to know a bit on this subject.
Basically I believe the short answer is no.
I think we are a year or so away from getting true full stereo audio via A2DP Profile.
I'm no expert on this subject, but I believe there needs to be more consistance and control within the BT industry as a whole.
i just posted this link in another thread but maybe its useful to you:

Maybe soon we we are able to get a2dp working on the magicians

Cheers for the answer! I hope so too. Just installed the newest Widcomm Soft on my PC in order to give it "More Power" (Tim Allen from Home Improvement). Now I can't wait to make A2DP work somehow on our Magicians. It would be like Star Trek :wink:
Me and a group of talented developers here in Dubai are proud to announce the semi-completed BT Stack replacement for wm2003,wm2003se, and wm2005.
What we have learned so far is that the listening component of the MS BT Stack sucks big time. Our first aim with the new addon/replacement is to make windows mobile retrieve remote device name on incomming connection. And guess what...... It Worked !!!!!
Our first Beta version that will be released shortly, includes a BT listenener that replaces Microsoft's BT Stack Listener and will accept all incomming connections with added bonus of showing the Sender Device's BT name without having to first pair with the remote device. It also includes a File Save Dialogue Box that appears whenever incomming files have arrived and will allow you to save all these files to your own selected destination.
We hope that this BT Replacement Project will succesfully replace some major parts of the MS BT Stack and add some more important functionalities to our pda's.
Date of release: Very Soon ...
Device Compatibility: All HTC PDA phones that use the MS BT Stack.
OS Compatibility: wm2003, wm2003se, wm2005 (All Versions so far)
Price: Absolutely FREE !!!
Wish us luck .... TAN Software 2005
cool.. maybe it the answer in the BT WM5 Problem...

Re: Great News... 70% Done... New BT Stack Replacement 4 wm2
Hey if u need my help, lemme knw. I live in dubai.
Do you intend that your replacment stack will support A2DP?
I'd shoot me in the head if I'd get WM5 on my Magician and then it would even be able to act as A2DP-SRC... :lol:
Support for A2DP profile on my Magican is what I'm waiting for... which I definitely would pay for!
I've even got the compatible bluetooth headset...
@sh500: How do you use it at the moment? I plan for gift and I dunno which way to go. It should be A2DP headset as well as call headset used on a Magician. And Voice Command should be activated over the headset. Too much to ask?
wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks For you effort,
but hope that it is a developement of widcomm stack cause ms stack is poor in its functions (there is no network support or other widcomm services),so hope that the new stack will be full of inovations.......
Thank you a lot
Sounds great! Can't wait to test it!
very good
i am so happy to hear such a news
This is an example of the type of device the new stack will hopefully be compatible with
http://www.tekkeon.com/site/products-ez3000.php
Good luck!!
I sure do hope that it is the b/t solution with WM5 on the BA........I had to switch back to 2003SE and it is not near as nice as WM5, as well as the fact that I now have to soft reset once a day again with 2003se.
Later.......... 8)

i wish you all the best in this project, also i hope it will work with WM05
Date of release: Very Soon ... Very<----- how soooon?
could be compatible with axims x50v using wm5 upgrade ... Ms stack sucks!
Widcomm 1.50 working on WM5.0
Maybe in the meantime those using WM5.0 could take a look at that...
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option...c=view&id=6671&catid=26&limit=15&limitstart=0
Dunno if it's specifically for Himalaya running WM5.0, but...
Haven't installed it myself so I can report success or failure.
Read carefully the thread for instructions.
Cheers,

this is most needed for the wizard basically theres no bluetooth for it.
Dont forget with the Widcomm stack bluetooth voice dialling doesnt work.
I dunno why everyone complains about MS Stack... it just lacks a lot of profiles. But when they are added the stack is more or less ok, isnt it?
You may have heard (particularly if you’ve been following my past articles) about the differences between the Microsoft Bluetooth stack coming with HTC Phone Edition devices and know its major shortcomings when compared to the major alternative, the Widcomm / Broadcom BT stack:
It lacks BT PAN (albeit the latest AKU3 has some basic support for BT PAN server functionality) support, which would be of high importance in, say, chatting / talking apps (for example, 4Talk or Microsoft Portrait or multiplayer games)
It, as far as versions prior to AKU3 are concerned, lacks support for BT FTP (see THIS ARTICLE for more info)
It has wildly inferior A2DP (stereo Bluetooth headphones) sound quality
No wonder a lot of people have been actively trying to “hack” the Widcomm BT stack on Pocket PC models initially coming with the Microsoft BT stack. Of them, the WM5-upgraded Dell Axim x50(v) and the x51(v) may already be known to you (I’ve also posted a lot on the project; see for example THIS).
Some weeks ago, well-known XDA-Developers hackers started to work on the port to HTC Phone Edition phones; for the most part, with success.
For the most part, you may ask? Yes, unfortunately, there still are problems; they are as follows:
Currently, it’s not possible to use traditional Bluetooth headsets for calling. Upon trying to connect to the headset, the PDA will just display an error message as can be seen in HERE. In the Hermes Widcomm developer thread, people are working on fixing this issue; so far, with little success. This will be a showstopper for many.
You won’t be able to use the PDA as a modem via Bluetooth (see my tutorial here) using either pre-AKU3 DUN or AKU3 Internet Sharing BT PAN. Also see this thread for my posts on this problem.
That is, if the lacking functionality is a showstopper for you, do NOT consider switching BT stacks as yet.
Model-specific tutorials / threads
Check them out for a discussion and / or a tutorial for installing the BT stack on your particular phone model:
HTC Wizard
HTC TyTN (Hermes) (my earlier report)
HTC Trinity: it seems it still doesn’t work at all (I’ve tried hacking very hard).
HTC Universal; well-known Pocket PC hacker and coder Helmi has just announced he’ll really soon release a working version even with headset support. I'll keep you posted.
it may sound silly, but does this stack appear in the uninstall list? so, am i able to remove it?
i'm asking because last time i changed my bt stack i ended up with my wizard being mute all the time. luckily i was able to restore my old bt version by uninstalling new one. so how is it with this one?
BTW, here's the Headset-enabled (!!!!) Universal BT stack hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1115973

Yes, it can be uninstalled - I haven't had any problems doing so on my Wizard and on the Trinity. Note that the Universal uninstallation is a bit more tricky.

hi all.
I have a htc hermes 300 and a htc touch (elf) and i am wondering if this can be done.
Basicaly i want to leave my hermes in one room and have it send real time audio to my other device (touch)
reason being i wanted to set them up as a baby monitor and am not sure how.
I also have a p990i smartphone which when i pair via blutooth to my elf or tyntn displays listening device as a service but i dont know how to choose or set this up.
Is there a way to set this up or maybe 3rd party app that can do this ??
both ppcs are on wm6 and my SE p990i is runing UIQ3.
not sure if this is the right section to post such a query and am sorry if its not
thanx in advance

possible - see MS Portrait, Fring, OctroTalk or even Skype. search the Wiki
EDIT: unfortunately, TCP/IP apps like the above all require a BT PAN network. I don't know if the 990 is BT PAN-capable; the Nokia N95 isn't. If it is, then, it'll work.
An alternative would be using the target WinMo handset as a "headset" of the 990. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either (with the built-in MS BT stack on WinMo. With Widcomm, it MIGHT be hackable.).
Has anyone tried the Stowaway/Thinkoutside Bluetooth keyboard with the Touch pro yet?
I had one for my 6700, but it got stolen out of my car 2 weeks ago so I never had a chance to test it with my new touch pro. I'm debating whether to purchase a replacement.
The reason I'm concerned about using the bluetooth keyboard - is that HTC messed with the key assignment such that it's impossible to reassign keys in other programs without running "Kfortouchpro" in the background. If the bluetooth keyboard uses the standard definitions, then it wouldn't work.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
And typing should be better. I am missing my keybord for my palm TX too.
German Computer Magazin CT was writing something about this mini BT keybord which shoul be working with PDAs: http://www.maxpoint.de/de/products/keyboards.php?pid=1_3_7&we_objectID=608
The ACK-3400 U should be developed for PDAs. But it is missing some manuals and parameters. Thats why getting your PDAs working via BT should be "luck".
I think this keyboard is a good salution becaus there is no mechanic for falting. I am working much with my old keyboard and I had to replace it after 2 years...
I am really interested in using a bluetooth keyboard. Let me know if there is some new information.
http://www.au-ja.de/review-keysonic-htpc-btkeyboards-4.phtml
This is a test...
There is no word on testing the keybord via bluetooth on a PDA.
regards Olaf
I used to have this one for my 6700:
http://www.110220volts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SBT5ER
I can confirm that it worked great. It folded up into the size of a deck of cards and was just as fast as a regular keyboard.
They're very popular - so I'm surprised no one's answered my question directly yet.
I'm hoping this keyboard (or one of the many like it) is compatible with the Touch Pro so I can buy a replacement. Damn thieves. :-(
My igo stowaway BT KB works on my fuze, although when I shutdown the program, it gives me a "we're sorry ... a problem..." and wants to send a report. I just don't send. It seems everything works, just that flaky thing. I use the PPC5 eng. driver online.

Thanks! That's the kind of information I was looking for. I appreciate the help.
I picked up an AT&T Fuze on Friday; it paired up just fine with my Freedom Universal Keyboard. It uses the HID profile, so no drivers required.
Then that freedom KB board may be a better bet, because of the HID.
