After upgrading to ROMKitchen 3.17, the infrared port has stopped working. It does not send or receive anything. Why could it happen? It was working very well before upgrading. If any application that involves IR, that is beam file, ActiveSync by IR causes the XDA to hang. IR Receive gives message "Unable to establish an infrared connection while mobile device is connected to the desktop"
"Unable to establish an infrared connection while mobile device is connected to the desktop"

Dear,
I had a similar problem once and for long until I realized that some of my other softwares were interfering with the IR Port. If you have any software that requires all-time active connectivity status of any kind (i.e. keyboard driver), disable it before using the infrared.

Dear Ken,
I guess that is where I went wrong! There was a foldable keyboard software that was creating problem!
Thanks
I have similar problem with AT&T PPC2002 (XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2). The phone was bought with this ROM, so I didn’t try with other versions.
When I run ‘infrared receive’ application or try to beam any file my phone simply hung till I soft-reset it. It may be the conflict with other programs but I not sure. How to check who else uses IRDA and how to remove those programs/conflicts?
Help please and thanks in advance
Please tell me how did you end the problem because it seems that i have the same thing with my XDA II
I wish I could end up with this problem... but I still not. It does not vitally critical since I don’t need IRDA functionality so far. But having feature (IRDA) and knowing it does not work for unknown reason driving me mad. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO.

Hi! dudes,
Could anyone help me out of this, my xda's infrared has ceased to function properly Every time I try to beam info with other devices, its system detects my mobile device being connected to the desktop even when I am completely on the move. I also have tried hard resets several times but they don't do much with my infrared connectivity. Has anyone had any solutions to this, please kindly let me know. Thank you guys.
Ken
Any comments, anyone??? :?

I had a similar problem when I cooked a rom with "foldable keyboard" option ticked. I did not know then, but I just flashed the device with original rom upgrade and it started functioning. Somebody later wrote to my query that if any other application using the same com port (com3) is active, it disables the infrared). check if there is any such application running.
That folding keyboard also snatched my com 1 gps port as well, even though I disabled infrared beams, once I cooked a rom with no folding keyboard it gave back the com port and gps was fine.
Ir working again
Hello,
I just uninstalled my foldable keyboard, and Ir was working again
Sometimes things can be simple

Can somebody tell me how to beam a Word file from one XDA to another XDA? I have set all settings on both device correctly. However, nothing happens. The sender just shows a screen were it says that I have to align ports, which I do ofcourse. Please help
Goto Start, File Explorer, open My Documents and tap&hold on the file you
want to beam and select Beam File.
If the receiving party has "Receive all incoming beams" turned off under Start, Settings, Connections, they'll have to use the "Receive an infrared beam" under "Programs".
HTH
Thanks, but your suggested procedure I have already tried. I have tried all possible possible combinations. Nothing works. Also when I activate "Receive an infrared beam" the receiving XDA doesn't give any reply. It is almost if a XDA can't send to another XDA; if the IR doesn't work at all. I still hope somebody explain the trick to me. It is important for me to know how it works.
does the infrared works with other devices like a laptop or a pc with a usb->infrared ?
somebody said at once point that hvaing stuff connected like a keyboard would disable infrared support
That's right. The Keyboard driver seems to disable the IR port. Uninstall the driver and it should work.
I haven't installed a keyboard. So there is nothing to uninstall. Or do you refer to the preinstalled standard keyboards? They are in ROM so I can't unistall them. Is there another trick?
Thanks
If you installed the folding keyboard driver from the kitchen rom, it will initialise every boot and grab the com 1 port, I know because I couldnt get my gps working even with the beams setting turned off, however you can disable the driver, bearing in mind it will initialise again after a reset. I cant remember where to do this as I got rid 2003 and the problem was when I had it installed, I am pretty sure the option is there somewhere to disable it.
Hello xda-users....
I've got a little problem with my xda using tomtom.
I've added the GPS part (V209) of Tomtom diretly to the Rom.
I'm using a WM2003 ROM.
I had opened GPS an got the error "COM1 does not exist".
So exiting GPS and disabled infrared.
Opened GPS and the problem still exists.
I did not get it working. Tried some Soft and Hardresets.
May this be a problem because:
a) GPS is in the ROM
b) No other TomTom Software installed
c) Only the files from V209 are used
d) No Activation of TomTom has done (Don't know how to activate GPS...)
e) ???????
Anyone could help me?
Stefan
Hmmm, turning off the infrared port worked fine for me. Is it an actual TomTom GPS receiver or a third party? Have you set the NMEA/Sirf parameters to match the module?

It's a third party GPS Reciever (Haicom)
It already worked.....
The Problem is, that i couldn't set the settings to Serial cable atteched to COM 1.
I got the error:
Cannot open Com1:
Port does not exist
:?
Turning infrared off, worked for me in the other cases too.....

Comm 9
Hi LumpiStefan
I had the same problem when I had the XDA, change the comm setting to Comm 9.
I was also using the Hiacom HI-203e. and this worked for me...
Hope it helps.
Sno...
do you suffer with disappearing check boxes?
i fixed mine after flashin rom 4.01.00 by the following
install navigator and voice prompts but not gps
upgraded to navigator 2.24
then installed gps 2.09
no checkbox problems or com1 errors.
Got another hint to disable folderable keyboard. Will test all given solutions today.....
Hope one will work.
Thx to all
Stefan
The folding keyboard driver will also snatch com1 for its own use.
Ok. Problem solved.
Com9 didn´t work for me. Problam was the Keyboard-driver...

I am facing the same problem after upgrade to WM6 official. Previously in WM5, transferring file was flawless. Anybody have a workaround?
-Red-
On my T-Mobile Ameo, I had to return it as faulty as I couldn't activate the bluetooth radio after I upgraded to WM6... I've heard that there may be a batch of T-Mobile devices with problems with the Microdrives and bluetooth radio...
Luckily, I got mine replaced under warranty... thought they might kick up a stink about the OS...
I don't think its a hardware problem.
its a software problem i think....
Dear seniors.. need help here..
I have the same pb with my P3600. It is impossible to have any bluetooth services associated to it... HELP ??

Which device do you have? Ameo, x7500, x7501, u1000?
Can you use BT headsets with it?
Have you tried to use a BT mouse?
I know it's probably a silly question, but have you gone into Start...Settings...Connections...Beam and ticked the box that says Receive all incoming beams?
I wasn't able to receive files until I ticked that box.
I am, using Dopod U 1000.
I can use bluetooth handsfree without any problem.
just file sharing make me headache. and my desktop computer also can easily send file to my U1000. but just won't receive from "himalaya" ( xdaII).
and won't sent any file out of it.
To all seniors, don't you have any prob. with WM6 in Dopod U1000?
WM6 And Bluetooth Problem
Hi all
I had the same problem sending and receiving files after upgrade. Now i resolved the problems with following steps
1. Pair those devices
To send a file
1. Set to accept without confirmation on receiving device.
2. then send the file from athena
Receive a file
1. In beam accept all incoming beams
2. In bluetooth settings>> Mode tick on Make this device visible to other devices ( if you use a BT headset this option untick itself, May be on mine)
3. Then send the file from other device it works
Make sure the send device paired with athena as "active device(OBEX)" not the "Audio enhancement"
I hope this may resolve the problem sending and receiving. May be something else contributed to this solution. If this not works then remove the today plugin which is associates with bluetooth and try send and receive.
Good luck
Thanks mate!
Indeed I faced this problem accidentally yesterday after flashing a new rom on my trinity!
The problem with me was that I had turned the beam off - which i thought was only for infrared!!!
To add my two cents let me say that there's also in the registry a place where the key says 'obexenabled' or something similar. check for that (there is found in two places) and set it to 1. If you search for 'obex' you cannot miss it.
cheers and thnx for the assistance.

Just want to know if there is any Cab for
Mouse Mode in WM6
i saw a video - HERE
I recently installed DCD's new GPS enabled ROM for Verizon. Everything has been working well even the GPS !!EXCEPT!! Bluetooth OBEX. When I try to send / beam any type of file my XV6800 stops responding and I am forced to soft reset.
I don't know if this only affects the Verizon ROM or all carriers for that matter. Is there any one here that has a fix or know's of a fix to resolve this issue? Has DCD released any news on this? I would Gladly appreciate it, as all the people with this issue.
UPDATE
I have revised the registry and IR and OBEX are enabled.
[ I also read on another thread that a Verizon user has the same issue. Only he has came to a conclusion that this issue only arises when he installs any new app in the DCD beta ROM. I havent tried hard reseting. I am waiting for this fix because other than that my XV6800 is close to perfect after all my modz.]
EDIT: I am on DCD 2.2.0 with other ROMS mixed and it has been working for me for a while already ( previous software was buggy ). You should enable beam through the bluetooth settings and on the comm manager also.
I get a "failed" message when I try to send files from one titan to another via bluetooth. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure the other Titan has Beam enabled.
Both titans have beam enabled. It still says "pending" for like 2 secs then it says "failed"

Do any of them have the authentication enabled? Both of them are discoverable via bluetooth right?
If they do / dont try to pair them and then try it again. For some reason they act weird at times and you have to do this in order to send something.
