Bluetooth Tools for XDA2i WM2003SE?

[killerbunny]

I've been using the Pocket Bluetooth Tools (http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/) for the XDA 2 and it's great--in particular because it allows you to specify the com port used by bluetooth devices to something other than 5 or 6 (I've found 7 works well with our application). However, I just upgraded to an XDA2i with windows mobile 2003SE and although the pocket bluetooth tools install, you no longer get the option after bonding a device to specify the com port. This is causing all kinds of grief.

So, does anyone know if there is an update to the Pocket Bluetooth tools which allow this functionality to work with WM2003SE? Is there another utility out there which will allow the same funcitonality??

BT tools work only with MS BT stack. IIi has Widcomm. And Widcomm BT has a built-in functionaity to map COM-ports.

"And Widcomm BT has a built-in functionaity to map COM-ports."

Where is this? I am bonding a fortuna pocket XTrack bluetooth GPS device, it selects SPP device, and sets com port to 5 / 6 with no possibility to change as they are greyed out. How can I change this to com 7? Is there a utility?

[mamaich]

The COM ports can be setuped by editing registry, as usual. HKLM\Drivers\builtin\...

Can you be more specific? Not familiar with doing this on PPC devices. Is editing the registry straightforward or does one need a utility to do this? Also, what exact keys need changing? Finally, can I set a single com port 7 (I noticed that by default it splits incoming and outgoing)....

Cheers for the help

I've found a utility to edit the registry easily http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx

But I am not sure which keys to edit to change the ports used by bluetooth--as I don't see anything which has ports 5 and 6 specified in the first place!

[mamaich]

keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial5]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial6]
Index value is the number of a COM port.
Used COM ports are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9
So you have only 0 and 7 free COM-port numbers.

[killerbunny]

Can you use the same values for incoming and outgoing? Ie can I put 7 for both?

[killerbunny]

Changed devicearrayindex and index to 7 on both serial5 and serial6. However, it doesn't appear to be working.

Under bluetooth Serial Port settings it still says inbound COM port 5, outbound COM port 6. Although I can connect manually from bluetooth manager by double clicking the SPP icon, no applications can see the devices on COM 5, 6 or 7.

What have I done wrong?

Hi Killerbunny, i have an xdaIIi too, (named 2020i ) and i have an other serial port problem; when i make a new modem bluetooth connection it tells me "there isn't any bluetooth hardware".

I'm desperately looking for a bluetooth tool for broadcom stack; Infact i wrote an email to htc support but they didn't answered me

I think broadcom is not so great, and we can resolve all problems whit the old microsoft stack

:( :(
