Hi,
Can anyone point me to some working Bluetooth Stacks for the XDAII that will run on the WM2003SE upgrade please.
My matey has upgraded his XDAII using Sin's merged WM2003SE upgrade (worked great for a Vodafone network!) and installed the MS BT Stack however this only gives partial results when using BT.
He is able to use the headset etc without any problems however when he tries to use the XDAII in his BMW (2005 model 320ci, built-in BT) he is getting intermittant results i.e WM2003SE connects with the car and the headest without a problem however there is a delay before the car picks up the phone when its ringing and on most occasions simply drops the call.
I wanted to know what other stacks are out there that may be worth trying, I have downloaded Toshiba's BT stack and the Widcom stack but I don't know of any others...
Advise much appreciated..
Godz
i too would love to know this.

Me too! The widcom stack has a useless headset driver as far as I can read..
I installed http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43210 but I am getting out of memory error.. It may be from a XDAIIi??? It also diod a hard reset...
FWIW, to those that have the BMW bluetooth, You will find the first time you make or recieve a call, you have to do it twice. IE dial the number, it will not connect, then redial and it works.
Same when you get a call, answer, it wont connect, then answer a second time and it will connect.
After the first call, it will then work as you would expect.
If you dial directly from the phone it will tranfer to the car kit, but not until the other party actually answers, you wont hear the ringing of the phone.
The big frustration is that although you get sound from the car speakers, I think its only the microphone in the phone that is working. So the other party may have trouble hearing you if your phones in a brief case or your pocket.
Hope that helps

Can anyone tell me if the translated chinese rom has these faults?
Successfully upgraded my Qtek 8500 (UK) with both the Cingular and QTEK latests ROM
Works great.
Using for 2 days and now my microphone feeds everything back through earpiece and no one hears anything other end.
Same with walk and talk headset.
Works fine when working with bluetooth headset or car kit.
Is this a hardware fault and just coincidence, or have I messed up the registry or Radio etc.
Anyone seen similar.
Many thanks
Try a hard reset. Sounds like something may be corrupt in your audio managment files.
Just tried a hard reset, but no joy I'm afraid.
I have reloaded the ROM twice as well.
Is there a way to rebuild and reload these management files.
It has to be software as the walk and talk headset uses a different electronic channel and separate mic!
Well that's my theory
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/install.htm
Here's a link to Jetware Mobile's website. Since you are obviously using a Bluetooth headset and a handsfree car kit, it may be that the BT extension is getting twisted up. You can download and install a free trial I believe for 30 days. I did not need this for my BT connections with the QTEK 8500 but these things can be very hardware specific. By the way, did you try the phone after hard reset and prior to pairing with any of your BT devices?
Sorry to clarify, it is the handset mike that is not working.
When used with BT, voice is transmitted OK to recipient.
However using handset by itself all you hear is a slightly delayed repeat of your own voice in the handset earpiece and the call recipient hears nothing.
Thanks

I had a similar thing happen to a Sony Z600 and traced the problem to a resistor that failed. Apparently this controled where to route the audio when a wired headset was plugged in and when it failed everything routed through the headset port vs the speaker. Not sure if this is what's happening to your Qtek, I've got one as well and sometimes it just acts wierd, drops calls, wont hang up, wont recognize key presses but I just attribute it to the MS operating system. By the way, you can pick up Z600's fairly cheap, it's a great 2nd phone & syncs with outlook, I picked up another after my first crapped out with no problems.
Has anyone found a Skype that works with windows 6.1 and DCD'd newest rom and radio releases?
I have tried 2.2.0.18... No luck It worked great on WM6 but once i put DCD's 3.2.5 on my phone it will not run.
So I tried the newest on on the Skype site 2.2.0.45 and it runs but no luck with sound.
This isnt critical as I use it only once in a while on my phone but it is a nice feature to be able to use.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
i found this same thing yesterday, i reflashed since i had to include voip in the kitchen. was able to get it running and make a call, but no dice on the sound.
im using skype 2.2.0.20 on DVD 3.2.0/radio 3.42.02 and it works, although i can only make calls with my BT headset

Very frustrating. Its like Skype dolesnt recoginze the mic on the 6800

yeah, thats been the problem from the beginning, thats why i have the build of skype, its the only one i know of that works for calls (albeit only via BT)
http://xbehome.com/xda/SkypeMobilePPC_2.2.0.20.cab
There is a low CPU version of Skype that I had working on dcd 3.2.0 and earlier. The sound came through the speakerphone on the back of the phone. Since updating to newer dcd ROMS it doesn't work anymore. Look for a thread titled "voip on wifi" or something like that for the cab. But it only works on older dcd ROMS.
I just installed SkypeMobilePPC_2.2.0.20.cab on my Sprint PPC-6800 with 15 MB free, and running the PPCGeeks 20270 kitchen and the 3.42.40 radio.
After the install and a soft reset, when I try to start Skype, I get a Skype can not start popup.
Try finding a beta version. I use version 2.2.0.20. I would upload the version I'm using but it doesn't seem to work. The version I have also only goes through the speakerphone, but I usually pop on a headset bluetooth or through the bottom port and it works fine.
I just downloaded 2.2.0.45 (actually mislabeled as 2.2.0.38) from this Skype forum post http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t177281.html. It starts and I can hear the ring when I make the test call, but I couldn't hear anything from the other end. I could hear the hangup sound when I hung up though.

Quoted from the skype forum link on your post....

This hsa been a problem with Skype for something like 9 months. It has something to do with the Mogul's chipset and a copyright issue. It used to work with old versions of Skype, but, as you observed, no longer, as you can no longer talk or hear.
Don't bother to ask Skype. They never answer this question forthrightly! Your best bet is to forget the issue and move on.
You are right, the "new" audio engine has something with the Mogul's chipset, the older GIPS audio engine worked but Skype can no longer distribute that audio engine. I have forwarded this issue, but I don't know if/when is going to get fixed. Logically the audio engine developer is also involved not just skype. //Quote
It seems common sense that the RADIO ROM is not the best ...
The RADIO´s which can be used are also limited ....
Which RADIO works best for you ?
How can "we" improve it ?
thanks
myrin
You mean the FM radio?
My prob with it is that the basic volume level is lower than the media player and even on max it is too low in a noisy environment (e.g. tram etc.).
I would like to know if this can be fixed somehow...
the RADIO ROM
Im using the Diamond Radio by Dutty. Radio v1.00.25.08
Seems to be the best ATM (atleast for me).
Search XDA-Devs for how to flash these and to download them.
i'm not glad with this default radio rom. bluetooth and gsm were not as well as i expected.
and also gps; i have tested i-mate ultimate 9502 gps, it was great.i'm not sure that gps functionality is including radio or not but i think it could be better.
I'm using the Diamond 1.00.25.05 which worked great for me on my Diamond and seems to be as good on my TP on Tmobile in London.
I had a .25 radio, which I flashed to the .31 one. There always seems to be problems with the GPS and BT. BT drives me really crazy to be honest, in the morning, when I hop into my car, the phone connects to my Parrot CK-3100 BT HF and syncs. When I make a call, sometimes it's ok, other times the phone disconnects after I release the call. I have to reconnect manually like every 10-15 minutes. And of course, when I want to make a call in the office, near my BT enabled laptop, the phone automatically connects to the laptop in HF mode which I did not even check in the services list of both the phone and laptop! Anybody else with the same experience?
Those are radios cooked by Bepe. They are not stable on the Rapael. Try other radios for example ones made by Dutty.
Guys,
Once again I am turning to you with a problem which is driving me nuts… After several attempts (ROMs and registry settings), I simply cannot get it working. I am using Jabra BT8010 handset and I get complaints from some, but not all, people I talk to over the phone that my voice is skipping. Some fragment of the words (a letter or two) is simply missing - not heard – by my talking partner. This has also happend to me when using official or irus ROM!!
First let me say that after I installed Michy’s R4.1 ROM the things with BT has changed a bit – in positive direction. I noticed that because the Jabra connects to the phone faster then before, when phone is rebooting the BT connection sign is gone immediately, etc. This was not the case with the original ROM nor iruses ROM 0mb PP. At this point I’d would like to thank Michy for that, since the file transfer to and from Athena now works almost flawlessly as well.
Please note that I get no skipping sound in downlink direction: nor during phone call nor during streaming of music or videos - the sound quality is just great!
But the voice skipping is just frustrating. What to do? I have tried twitching several settings in registry: BitPool, MaxBitPool, Sample rate and Use Joint Stereo. But, no combination resulted in no-skipping sound. Is it Jabra? Could you suggest what to do next in order to get this working!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I don't use bluetooth headset myself, but would suggest that you try out the latest R5.1. I find R5.1 to be much better than R4.1 in the data connection, GPS, and WIFI communication, and have no problem in bluetooth file transfer. However, I recommend that you use the latest radio version 1.58.
I find my VOIP experiencing voice quality improvement as compared to R4.1 with radio 1.57.
After trying it, I'd be eager to hear if that helps.
Cheers.
eaglesteve,
Meanwhile I got my hands on Motorola HS810. Guess what: no voice skipping or distortion what so ever!! So is there something wrong with my Jabra or simply the BT or its settings are not matching to Jabra? Someone suggested to delete the Bitpool and MaxBitPool from the registry to get protocol handshake, i.e. the device negotiate for optional parameters…?
I will try R5.1 and report back.
One question though in regards to BT and file transfer since you mentioned it: the feature to make my device visible to other keeps disabling automatically. Once I set it (check) and file transfer (via moBLUe) works, but sometimes - I swear I didn't touch the settings - the file transfer (via moBLUe) does not work. When I check the feature the feature is disabled!?!?! WTF...? I am doing something wrong or...

I had the same problem with my 8010 until I went to radio 1.57 (and then 1.58, although 58 isnt as good as 57 for sound quality and the 8010). Im not using Michy but that shouldnt matter.

Eaglesteve, what solution do you have for VOiP?
weird. i am on michy 4.1 spl 1.2 and radio 1.57, and i think i have the same problem, but only with skype voice calls.
i am using plantronics pulsar 260.
it is so bad that the word "hello" breaks into 3 or 4 fragments.

Using Jabra BT8040 with Athena and another cell phone,
poor performance, ocassional voice breaking and soft.
Just upgrade its firmware and monitoring.
With another simple bluetooth by Motorola H375,
no such issue, voice was clear and loud both ways.
I have tried several settings with radio 1.58 as well as 1.57 and in all cases the voice is distorted with Jabra BT8010 ;(
On the other side, using the Motorola HS810 I expirienced no problems at all at any setting i gave. Eventhough I like Jabra VERY much due to its features I will replace it...
I'm on ROM AP4, you might try that, too.

I have same expertise as you (jabra with some troubles). But if I connect this headset to a blackberry no problems and it is perfect
I have 7500/4.1(3.5) and a BT8010. I have solid connection with my blue tooth.
From your descriptions, it sounds like you have a defective 8010.

This is my second Jabra 8010. I have experienced the same problem with both!
Yesterday, I have flashed Athena to Michy's R5.1. No change.. the voice skipping is still present ;(
I decided and will replace Jabra. I have two candidates: Nokia BH-902 or Motorola SH-7x0. As said Motorola before Motorola SH810 gives very good – no distortion – voice! Will see how the Nokia behaves. Any pros and cons for each???
Thanks guys for your help.

Yes, same effect here, I'm using the Jabra 8010 also and have sometimes the same problem. From my point of view it is a jabra problem, not a ameo / athena nor a ROM problem.
After updating on radio 1.58 I have some problems with the connection to my Pioneer carraudio Sytem (used as a handsfree set) also. So I've decided to go back to 1.50, after that I will update on michyprima and check it....
Kind regards

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I have learned a great deal from you guys & gals! Hail to all!
I have the same problem with my U1000 & bt8010 under Radio 1.57 & 1.5.
For me, the problem seems less noticeable if I:
1. stand / sit STILL (sigh...)
2. have more ram to the system (no big TODAY plug-ins like spbDiary)
In theory the 8010 is perfect for big dogs like the athena. (gosh i love the phonebook and the music ... even mono makes me happy ...)
Just a simple suggestion but based on what I've read on this last page with you guys changing the radio's and ROM's has anyone decided to update the Jabra BT 8010 Firmware. I've never experienced the problems you guys have it might be a last hope but why not go for it. Firmware found here:
http://uswww03.gnnetcom.com/Myjabra...=/myjabra/bt8010_control_center_na.html#step1
The software is at the bottom of the page, however you will also need to install the program to you computer to actually install the firmware. Follow the directions provied on the link, and feedbacks please.

In my post #12 I claimed I had "solid connection with my blue tooth". I spoke too soon. The first time I played music on Pocket Music I got lots of skipping.
This was also a problem discussed at length last year. I did a reg search on "priority256" and found that the decimal number was 131.
I changed it to 256 and NOW I have "solid connection with my blue tooth". I have not had a single skip in 15 minutes of playing music.
OOPS - I just got a 1/2 second skip.
on my post at #6, i also spoke too soon. when i tested skype at our office (faster dsl connection), the voice is smooth, no skipping. i guess it was just an internet connection problem.
