Anyone tried BT Tools 1.1 on WM2005 ?

[rlikitarczuk]

You don't need BT tool on WM2005. He has better BT manager and you can you it instead of BT tools.

I've tried it on Buzz's 1.6 version of wm5 (Himalaya) and before I upgraded my radio ROM from 1.14 BT Tools loaded and worked as per the old version (like a charm). While it may not be necessary owing to certain improvements in wm5 it still had features I liked (BT auto power off when idle for 60s).

Once I've upgraded to 1.17 it loads but nolonger appear on the today screen. Then when I bond with a new device I get the BT Tools profiles screen. I have then been able to use the Activesync profile to sync with Outlook 2002 on my PC via BT. I can't however access the two power/light profiles nor the BT auto shut off feature (I really liked that function for power saving) or at least not yet.

I'm going to try Radio ROM 1.08 and 1.18 as per suggestions in other forums (as I'm hanging when I now sync using the cradle) and will let you know if anything changes.

NB I'm using Version 1.1.0.0 of BT Tools not 1.0.1.2 (the one downloadable above). See the actual site for details of the differences:-

Upgraded to Radio ROM 1.18, BT Tools now appears again in the Today Screen but is completely inert re autoshut off (the only feature I'm now interested in given the ROM enhancements). So I'm unloading it and will serach for another BT manager with the same auto BT on/off feature.

Hope that was of use.

PS didn't try 1.08

I'm gald that you got the BT Tools to work for you. When I upgraded to WM2003 se and tried to set up my Jabra BT200A back up, it was no go. I could hear the caller, but the headset mic was non working, only the mic on the device. So I tried the BT Tools, to no avail.

The proverbial cake icing was that BT Tools made the device speaker phone quick working as well. Un-install BT Tools, and I get the speakerphone back, but still woe is me, no practical functionality out my trusty Jabra.

Any thoughts?

BTH tools 1.0.1.2 run just fine under WM 5.0 ROM 1.60c.
Especially ActiveSync via BT with several other computers works like a charm.
BTH tools 1.1.0.0 do not function correctly. Both profiles do exactly the same, either auto-switch or not and ActiveSync over BT does not work properly.

Thanks SaBo,

I'll give it a whirl as it would be nice to have the auto BT on/off back again.

Chelms,

I trust SaBo's comments work 4u too. If not the only thing I can suggest (not being a jabra200 user myself) is to surf the forums. I know a lot has been written about getting the jabra BT800 working properly with HTC kit (Jabra state that it isn't compatable but I think the BA forum have been chasing it as a bit of a Holy Grail). I can't recall if they definitievly got there but I think they did. You may find something on your headset too. You can also try Buzz's forums on a similar search since he has been the one to work WM5 magic (http://buzzdev.net/). Further afield you might try Howard's Forum (http://www.howardforums.com/)

For all those still using Pocket Bluetooth Tools in WM5 (not for its BT profiles as they aren't needed any more but for the functionality of BT auto on/off and the two power/ screen saver profiles via the Today screen) FYI I'm currently running TofClock WM5 1.71a (working like a charm) and BTHTools 1.1.0.0 (which is also working like a charm.... NB the cab version as oddly enough I couldn't get the PC exe version to work). Just ensure that after installation your registry has theses settings entered under:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ Bluetooth Tools

then add new values of:

Type Name Data
REG_SZ DLL BTHToday.dll
REG_DWORD Enabled 1
REG_DWORD Flags 0
REG_DWORD Options 0
REG_DWORD Order 32
REG_DWORD Type 4

NB Order is just the position number in the Today screen list so just tweak it via WM's start\settings\personal\Today route or type a number which suites you directly when entering the values above.

PS anyone know a similar program (not the BT profiles part just the auto BT on/ off amd with a taskbar icon... like an enhanced version of BTIcon.exe.... In fact BTIcone.exe with auto on/off would be perfect... of to try another search)

[Mallow1]

FYI BTTools 1.1.0.0 cab works under TofClock's "WM5 2.01a 64 WWE" but not under the clean WM5 ROM posted by Buzz (i.e 2.00a).
