Bluechalking via MDA 2

[Yuksi]

Dear All,

Please help me, my question is how to use T-mobile MDA 2 to send and receive messages from any bluetooth-type devices like cell phones, pda etc.

Thanks.

well there are no protocol that i know off that everybody use
if there is then it's pretty easy to make it for every bluetooth pda
maybe if there is a std for doing it somebody have already don it

Thanks for quick reply.
Well I know a lot of people are using their pda's and cell phones to send msg's, files etc via bluetooth.

On pda's it's quite easy - just open bluetooth window and you can manage almost everything.
But on MDA 2 there's just "Blue tooth parameters" in control panel and that's all.

Well it's ok with handsfree, it works, but how to work with other devices?

Maybe there's kind'a application for this performance?

with beam you can already push and pop files back and forth between the xda2 and other bluetooth able devices

but text msg is another thing
if other people with pocketpc's got some std and some program it's just a matter of getting the program from them and putting it on the xda2 and it would work xda2 is a pocketpc like all other pocketpc's and share programs with them just like pc's can run the same programs

of cause maybe some of those programs would not work with ms's bluetooth that xda2 uses :(

You're right.
I've tried the program BuzZone (www.buzzone.net), but when it's being installed from PC to MDA2, there's appearing an error message on MDA screen at the end of setup: "Cannot find BT CE file" or something like that. :(

What is "ms bluetooth"?

[Rudegar]

it's the bluetooth stack that ms made that comes free with winCE
hp and other pda makers use a 3th party bluetooth stack which is much much much better

You can always send short messages in a contact's name field. This is known as 'bluejacking' - sending anonymous messages to strangers via Bluetooth.

This works!!
The title of the message is the Contact's name, The message itself is the Contacts Notes

How to:
Create contact with name / notes
Save
Tap it
Tools / Beam contact
Select the victim device

What we need is something like SMAN on the Px00 that could scan for 'victims' and automatically send the contact to them.

SMAN also logged succesful 'hits' - great fun for the supermarket!

one other thing that is needed desperately is some way of making sure that you only bluejack good-looking people not people that look like me

How'd you get the option to beam to bluetooth. Even with mine turned on I only can beam via infrared.

It should also say searching" whilst it scans for bluetooth receivers can take a couple of minutes to locate other phones
