Newbie question about bluetooth on my blueangel

[moralcrusader]

Hi there,

Apologies for no-doubt coming across like a complete noob, but I am :)

A friend of mine recently let me borrow his Orange SPV M2000. He has burnt a different firmware image onto it - it says 'i-mate' when it boots rather than 'Orange' (the details are below).

Anyway, I am having trouble connecting the device to my Jabra 250v headset. I have tried all kinds of different connection settings but I get the same message:

Connecting...

(followed, about 20 seconds later, by)

Connection failed.
- Waiting for device
x Connection failed.

The device paired OK. Also, I have managed to successfully pair with a friend's phone and transfer files from his phone to my device.

This is driving me mad! Surely someone must be able to put me out of my misery?

Thanks,

Nik

Hi,

I would have thought that at least one of the 40+ people who have read this post would have had *something* to say?

If there is a bluetooth FAQ or troubleshooting guide somewhere, please point me at it!

Cheers,

Maybe i can help. I have had your same problem with my 250v (the same as yours) and my wm2003 rom.

The difference is that you say it DOES pair and when i tried (several times, with different wm2003 bt stacks) it did not even show me an available headset.

Other BT devices and the PDA in total, was working great, but... no working headset. I tried a different brand headset (can you still return yours?) and it worked. I got the S2 and G2 working, but i have had lots of probs with crackling noises on the line, so it was terrible to use (read useless, to my opinion).

On different forums the ericson HB... series is mentioned as working great, in combination with ppc2003, but i was too late on returning the device to the store and 1st kept the s2. Also you can READ and LOOK UP YOURSELF on different fora that the widcomm/broadcomm stack is not so good at all because even with a good headset, you get lots of cracks on the line when the headset and ppc are more then 1 mtr appart (or even less).

The S2 (very plastic and noisy) was working very bad for me and then my boss gave me a new jabra 250v. Unfortunately it didn't was discovered on my wm2003 pda.

Ok, so far my problem. The solution.

I have upgraded to wm2005 via helmi's 3.2 WM2005 ROM (on wiki). This has a sort of ms bt stack wich supports the jabra very well. Now i have no cracks, perfect sound on headset (hearing and speaking) and all other main programs still work (among gps).

So u choose, return headset and try a different one of flash to WM 2005. All other wm2003 options that are there (audio dll's other stacks, etc) i have already gave a try and do not work!

Sorry for the impatience. Looking at what I wrote, and how soon after my original post, all I can say in my defense is that I am having a tough week and lost the plot a bit :(

Sorry.

Thanks for the info. At least I know I am not the only one with problems! I am tempted to upgrade to WM5, mostly out of curiosity but also because it looks nicer (a poor reason to upgrade, perhaps?). Then again, I think I'll drop into my local Orange store tomorrow and try a couple of different headsets. I have had my old one for years now and had been using it with my Nokia. I am sure they won't notice that I am not using an Orange ROM :)

I'll let you know how I got on - probably one the weekend.

Cheers,

Nik
