XDA2i - bluetooth stuff - newbie question

[Captain Mayday]

Greetings folks ....as regards fiddling around with ROMs etc... I'm a total newbie at this ... but am willing to give it a shot ..... however am also in the lucky position of having an XDA2 and (recently upgraded to) XDA2i ....

Got a bluetooth fit in the car (AUDI UHV9649) which does nothing with the XDA2 (old MS BT stack so no handsfree :-( ) but does work with the XDA2i (Widcomm 1.0.0 build3900) ... for 3 minutes at a time .... but it then disconnects and reconnects EVERY 3 minutes ..... and doesnt do the SIM Access Profile ..... any ideas ?

So, this niggling problem has prompted me to see if there are newer and better BT setups out there that I can apply to the XDA2 and XDA2i ...

Hence my lurking on the forum ... and now 'coming out' !

From what I have gleaned from 3 days perusing the forums ......

There is a ROM upgrade to the XDA2i, but what improvements (if any) does this ROM1.11.162 Radio1.03 give over the ROM1.10.00 Radio1.0.0 - and is there better bluetooth functionality/stability ? What BT version is on this ?
------
Also see that there is a patched WM2005 fit for the XDA2 on buzznet (Buzz Lightyear you have my respect sir 8) ) .......

How stable is this ? And can anyone say what BT version is on that ?

Appreciate any answers and look forward to starting to get my hands dirty ....

Hi Captain

I see your post is getting old, but it's my first day lurking the forum and so far I haven't been able to work out how to upgrade my Bluetooth stack... Have you had any luck?

I need to upgrade mine for different reason - I've just bought AnyCom BSH-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset fooling my self that I will be able to use the headset for listening to mp3 music etc. as well as handsfree, but as it turns out the XDAIIi does not fully support the Advance Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) required to listen to high quality audio...
Even more confusing the spec on the O2 web site states that the XDAIIi supports A2DP.

Please anyone! How to upgrade the bluetooth stack? I would do it even to a hacked version that works with that headset....

Please share your experience...

Thanks!

On my device I have Bluetooth version 1.0.0 Build 3900 from Broadcom!

Hi,
I downloaded the following:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Bluetooth%20Upgrades/BT%20profiles%20for%20build%203500/Broadcom%20Corporation%20BT-PPC%20AV.cab

And installed it on my XDA2i and all was well (I copied the cab file to my XDA and ran it from there)

Adds a few extra profiles to your bluetooth manager including "High quality audio"

Hope that helps! (Works for my Motorola HT820 headphones)

Out of interest where abouts does it mention A2DP on O2's website?, I'd love to be able to quote it back to them in an argument I'm currently having with them :)

Hi,

BIG THANX for the spot on info! This is exactly what I'm looking for I hope it should work for me too...
Can you confirm you've just installed this CAB on top of your existing Bluetooth software that comes with the XDAIIi (mine is Broadcom version 1.0.0 Build 3900)?

I was planning to buy the Motorola HT820, but I impulsively bought AnyCom BSH-100 because it's foldable... At least I can swap it now for Motorola if I can't get mine to work with this update!
A2DP on O2's website Yes I initially read about it here on these forums, but I didn't bookmark the thread. It was on the O2's web site I checked. Now I tried searching but couldn't find the thread... As far as I remember it was on www.my-xda.com
It is not on the web site anymore it appears they have taken it off, because people already had our problem and quoted the A2DP support...
Anyway, what's more interesting is that I spoke to O2 Data Support today again. The guy seemed quite apologetic and could not give me any resolution or promise future updates. What's more important he pointed me to these forums (XDA-Developers) for not supported solution to my problem. He confirmed that I can have A2DP support but refused to email me info because it is not officially supported by O2!

I'll post again with the result of this update I hope it makes my XDAIIi compatible with the AnyCom BSH-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset I bought, by adding the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile.

BINGO! It works like a dream!
I can't believe it... As you said all I had to do is run this BT update (CAB file) and there it is - The A2DP was available in the Bluetooth Connection Wizard in Bluetooth Manager! I didn't even have to pair the headset again (after the install - I did soft reset just to stay on the safe side prior running BT Manager). I just run the wizard again with High Quality Audio selected it listed my headset (AnyCom BSH-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset) now I have 2 shortcuts on My Shortcuts tab one is Hands-free and the other High Quality Audio!

The install hasn't changed the BT stack version on my device - it appears the only visible effect is the extra profile to support A2DP.

Now I can listen to mp3 and watch movies, be on skype and of cause use it as hands-free too - ALL this on my XDAIIi

:D
So far I'm very happy with the headset - it does everything it says on the box!

Exactly that just ran the cab file on the phone over the top of the standard O2 rom (bluetooth stack 3900).

The only part that doesn't work from the HT820 is the remote control functions for media player (meant to be able to do next/previous track play/pause) but sound quality is perfect (seems to drop a fraction on a second silence in every so often but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it so don't know if its the headphones the xda or just bluetooth.

I downloaded the cab file in my M500 but that dont work.Infact my homescreen is not readeble any more (hard reset?).

Is there no other way to make it possible to use my bt headset with my m500?

thanx for replyíng.and sorry if this question is frequently asked?

Yes hard reset will restore your original install you may also try a backup if you have one.
Please note this update will work if the Bluetooth stack on your device is from Broadcom. I think the M500 may have the Microsoft one...
see also this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30192&highlight=a2dp+bt

From experience this update works for the Broadcom BT stack.

I hope this helps...

[Sjon]

Thank you.

I've read the post...I see now that there is no solution for my problem :(

Once again i was to fast for installing before reading.



best regards sjon

I can confirm everything you say applies to my AnyCom BSH-100 headset too - remote functions do not work, I also experience the same brief drop of sound! I tried with ecrypted and non encrypted connection to the headset to make sure it's not the excyption that is causing the problem. Also tried different players - no luck. Must be the bluetooth implementation :(
Please let us know if you manage to resolve this problem!

Thanks

Yesterday I applied the same Bluetooth update to add A2DP support to MDAIII as sold from T-mobile UK!
I did experience the same problem with Todays screen! This is not a problem at all - Todays screen gets messed up because it appears that the install interferes with the current Theme!
All you have to do to fix it is reapply your existing Theme from Start --> Settings --> Today --> Select a theme for your device --> OK

Apart from this this update does add the following two Bluetooth profiles:
High Quality Audio
Bluetooth Keyboard

You can try again - No need for hard reset to restore your Todays Screen ;)

Please note this is FTP (not HTTP :wink: ) link! You can use any FTP client to connect to the ftp host/server: ftp.xda-developers.com with user name and password xda then you browse to the directory (you can see the path in the link above) where the cab file is and download it!
Possible reason why the link may not work for you is because you are behind firewall where the FTP protocol is blocked! Also make sure you are ising Internet Explorer when clicking on the link. Interenet Explorer can work as ftp client when the link is in the above format and FTP protocol is not blocked by a firewall...

I hope that helps!

Did anyone find a solution for the remote problem with the motorola 820?

[zman]

I am having problem to pair my XDA IIi with my BMW bluetooth and Accura MDX bluetooth. The XDA just simpy rejects to pair with BMW bluetooth. The XDA found the Accura MDX bluetooth, but when I try to make a call, XDA gives me error message "invalid command".

Hi,

this helped me a lot, but still having some problems, i have troubles with answering calles when playing some mp3 .. also noticed that if I use windows media player it takes about 5 sekoneds to noticed incoming phone (but the phone that is making call is already noticing call, while XDAIII still playing songs)

had you any such a troubles?

thanks

[Server]

Please, help. Can not end a call using HT820's buttons. This is important. Handsfree switches off, but connection with abonent still on... What's the scary thing.

[JeromeMorrow]

On my device I have Bluetooth version 1.0.0 Build 3900 from Broadcom!

Hi, How can I know my BT version on my xda II qtek 2020?

thanks

I have:

ROM version : 2.20.07CHS
ROM date: 09/17/04
Radio Version: 1.18.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRom version: it´s empty

[christopherwoods]

To find out your BT version, go Start -> Settings -> Connections tab, tap Bluetooth, tap About, and press the Advanced button. You will then see the version numbers for all the modules in your Bluetooth installation., and the screen before it will show the manufacturer of the BT stack (and the overall version number).


To the person with the "license expired", that sounds VERY bizarre. A Google search for "bluetooth license expired (http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-30,GGLG:en&q=bluetooth+license+expired)" shows that quite a few people have this problem, it seems to be according to one forum that it's a programming problem, with the memory Bluetooth wants to use already in use by something else (causing this error message to show).

Read: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34813 (found via http://www.aximsite.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-59670.html). I suggest you contact your manufacturer or your phone provider.


I run the 1.04.00 radio on the 1.11.162 WWE ROM on my 2i (using Pug's cooked rom found via this forum), and I've never had a problem with either my bluetooth GPS receiver or my bluetooth headset. I can also use my headset whilst my GPS receiver is connected, which I believe I may have had problems with with my 1.00.00 Radio stack (the 1.04.00 works flawlessly and I've also noticed that since upgrading the ROM a while back, I have a much more reliable GSM reception).

[JeromeMorrow]

Hey there! I looked up what you pointed out but it seems my PDA doen´t have the Advanced button only Mode and then Devices. Does this mean I have a Microsoft buletooth and you have a Widcom one?

Many thanks,
Jerome

[christopherwoods]

Well, as you say you have a Qtek 2020, not a 2020i, I guess you have, basically, the XDA2 as opposed to the XDA 2i. Now, as far as I know, the XDA2 has the MS BT stack, and the 2i has the Broadcomm stack. Might want to try a ROM upgrade?

[JeromeMorrow]

Oh, I see. Thanks. Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=245483#245483 there are some screenshots...

I was so excited to see this post, that I conveniently ignored any facts that did not match. I have a Wizard (not an alpine) and I don't know if my BT stack is Broadcom (how can I find out?). I installed the cab. Now the BT headset (Jabra BT500) no longer works with the phone app and Windows Media stopped working because "no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding."

How can I uninstall this cab?
