Should I stick with 1.66.00WWE or move to the 1.7X ROM??????
Also what type of Bluetooth head sets are you all using, any specific recommendations or success??
Thanks!
I'm still using the 1.66.00WWE that came with my device.
I'm using the O2 Bluetooth headset and have had no problems with it at all - voice quality is fantastic, battery seems to last for ages and I've never lost bonding...
I've been working in Malaysia for the past 4 years and about to return to Sydney. I have the 1.66.00WWE that came with my device and will probably keep it.
I'm using a Logitech BT headset and thought it is bigger than the SE-HBH 60 I had previously it is a lot more comfortable to wear, sounds clearer (to me and the person on other end of call) and has a longer battery life.
Very happy with it.
Ed
Thanks guys, appreciated.
Im in Melb, using 1.72.00
I havent had any problems with it, but I dont use BT headset, I do use a BT GPS quite a lot and have had no problems.
But I havent noticed that upgradeing from 1.66 really added anything worth while either. As I havent had any problems Im not going to downgrad either, but I would not recomend upgrading unless you are having some particular problem until the SE version finally comes out.
Just remember you are using Optus network, and I think after you upgrade you do require some patch in order for you GPRS to work.
Gee, guys, you're all well ahead of me... I'm still runnning mine with the 1.60.00WWE (ex. ROM 1.60.44)... wonder when I'll see an upgrade...
Besider the older version - everything's fine
I ended up trying both a Belkin and also Motorola head-set. Both had very poor quality for the inbound direction of the call, filled with crackle and echo.
My outbound direction is fine........
Anyone got a suggestion?
I have been using WM2003SE for almost 2 weeks now, and I am very satisfied with it.
I have one problem though with the BT headset. The BT headset AND the speaker on the phone is always on, when in a call. It has the advantage of being able to make conversations in stereo (phone on one ear and headset on the other) Apart from that, it is rather annoying because it seems like the microphone in the phone is the only active microphone (the receiving end is complaining of difficulties of hearing me, when I get away from the phone).
How do I become able to switch between the phone and the headset again?
BT headset: Jabra 250
PDA: Qtek 2020
ROM: 2.02.t1WWE
Radio: 1.18.00
Protocol: 1337.38
ExtROM: 1.72.125 (not sure witch)
Regards Steen
i'm using jabra 200 and works fine with me. try pairing again with the device.. it might works
Thank you for the sugestion - but I have tried that - without any luck
/Steen
I'm having this problem too with my motorola HS810 headset.
I'm sure it wasn't like this at first though. I've installed bluetooth tools and tried re-pairing, everything I can think of (except a hard reset - I guess thats next though).
What apps do you have installed, perhaps we have some in common and that's causing the problem?
This never happen to 220CHS :twisted:
I'm getting the same issue with my HBH-600!
The CHS ROM, i thought this was Chinese....can i install as english?
Different ROMs
Hi guys!
Looks like some of you are using two different ROM versions, 2.02t and 2.06.
Only the first one supports, finally! the hands free profile, with the inconvenience of playing "stereo" when a headset is identified as "hands free".
The 2.06 version, does not support handsfree at all, so I discarded it after a bit of testing in my machine.
(Can't help with CHS versions, sorry)
For more info read my thread in BT carkits.
Hope it helps.
:roll:
Had the same problem. After 3 hard resets and trying a different BT headset I finally found that installing Bluetooth Tools fixed the problem. will try it out tomorrow and see if it works OK.
After several days of testing most of the ROM/EXT-ROM/RADIO combos available in the forum, I`ve come to a near end of my one year old+ wishes and complains regarding the limited abilities of the BT part of our machines.
Finally version 2.02t1WWE seems to have solved the problem: BMW factory installed BT car kits that refused to work.
To my surprise, this should have deserved a more in deep review in the forum, so this is why I`m opening a new thread.
First you should notice that version 2.06 WWE, supposedly a newer one, does NOT support hands free profile (I noticed this the hard way, after a few upgrades and setups)
Second, the performance is as good as you would expect from a series of BT devices: I've a BT HBH 35 headset and the BMW BT carkit, all of them working, though not every function is implemented, but they are working, at least.
Third, basic functionality works without a glitch:
I`ve been able to voice dial a phone call while driving the car, AND transfer the ongoing call to my SE headset without dropping the call. this was something you couldn`t even think about just a month ago.
Fourth and last, there are still functionalities not yet included, i.e. the agenda in the phone is not trasferred to the carkit, nor do voice tags sound when an incoming call gets in,
But all said, I think we have finally come to what should have been the starting point more than a year ago when the XDA II was first launched.
Now that we have most of the functions up and working... how much better the new JAM form factor looks!
Well guys, we the "early adopters" are both fans and a bit masochists, but, What the hell! This is what makes this hobby so fun!
Please, post your opinions on the new setups for SE.
:twisted: :wink:
BTW my actual settings:
ROM version: 2.02t1WWE
ROM date: 05/17/04
Radio version: 1.18.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROMversion: 2.06.100a
now, thats what i wanted to hear...... I have an hbh35 too... but its undergoing repair so I coundn't test the handsfree functionality that i heard works with XDA2.
One question mate, are you able to do voice dial using the headset?
Hi Looking Glass
Could you please tell what you have in the Extende ROM related to Bluetooth.
We are at least 3 in this forum with ROM version: 2.02t1WWE, that are having problems with speaker in BH headset and phone working at the same time (and only mic. in the phone working).
/ Steen
I'm having problems with my HBH-600 headset where the mic is not working on the BT headset, only my XDA unit.
You guys got any recommendations for voice dial software. I used Fonix Voice Dial with my XDA1, however it just doesn't seem to work properly with my XDAII (haven't tried yet with WM2003SE).
Thanks!
BT Carkit Microphon dont work
MDA2 (rom 202ti) connected thru hands-free protokoll with Siemens BT Carkit HWK 600 have problem with the micro.
Parrot 3100 have the same problem > no micro connection
Does help a separat BT stack, like widcomm etc. ?
some -but not all- answers
To Z-man: I don't use any voice dial app, so I can't help. My carkit BT handsfree does have a voice recognition program that now is doing the trick.
From my perspective, some Hands-free devices do carry the voice recognition engine themselves, headsets do not, so they rely on apps SW in the phone, they are mostly "pass through" devices.
Also, some "hands free" devices, may act as "dumb headsets" (Supporting the dual profile?), others (like complex BT carkits) do not, that makes the difference: the more profiles and functions they have, the more flexible they are.
To steen-p: I've the Australian customized ExtROM, nothing special related BT. Just for your info:

I've noticed too the problem with "dual" sound, but looks like this is happening when the BT "hands free" option is selected. Do BT headsets need to activate this option? What does the "headset" icon meant? Which order does the XDA II use to bond itself with when more than a BT device with the "hands free" option is available?
To my surprise, I can receive calls in my SE HBH 35 headset with the "BT head set is disabled" message in todays screen, it's like the "hands free" setting overrides those of the headset.
¿Any help on that?
Sorry, many questions and so few answers.

more info
Continuing my last message on this thread, looks like the "stereo" effect using handsfree profile in versions WWE is not solved.
Though you have the basic functions I've mentioned before, there is not solution to the "stereo" and sometimes "only XDA mic" behaviour of the BT handsfree profile.
As a summary, looks like only the 2.20 CHS version is actually fully supporting (correctly) the Handsfree profile, while WWE "unofficial" versions do not.
And testing the translated 2.20 CHS to WWE versión of buzz_lightyear seems a bit scary to me, given the incompatabilities shown in the forum. (Though you are doing a great-great job, buzz)
:evil:
Here it goes 2.20 CHS!
Hi all!
Just upgraded to 2.20 CHS translated by buzz, ans so far most of the BT problems -one more time- seem solved.
A bit more testing and surely I will find something, but for now it looks quite a good job. Welldone to You mamaich and buzz_lightyear!
BT "stereo" effect is gone, and except for a minor inconvenience in the messages while pairing, everything BT related seems to work OK.
Any more experiences testing ROM 2.20 out there?

Are there any significant differences with the drivers and registry? Seems like it will be good to port the BT stuff of 2.20CHS

Well, looks like every "new" version of SE comes with its own set of problems.
Actually 2.20 CHS translated to WWE by mamaich and buzz_lightyear do not allow BT ActiveSync to work.
So at this moment it's a matter of prefferences, and you have to determine wich are the faults you can live with.
Really not there yet...

Hi Marc!
Should you read the thread, I can confirm that FINALLY I've got an XDA II to work with a factory installed BMW BT Carkit (a one year old -same as XDAII- late 2003 Series 5 BMW).
My experience yet, is that only with 2.20 (translated from Chinese) does the BT Handsfree profile (the only one supported by BMW) work reasonably well.
The other two versions (2.02 and 2.06) do not work for me at this time (Dual mic&speaker), though I'm just now testing sin procedure for mixing them both.
Hope it helps.
:wink:

Sorry for the delay!
I'm not very familiar with the especific registry entries for BT, but I've seen some other threads in the forum with more info on this matter. If you point out wich registry keys to look for, I will try to sent them to you. I've read about a different set of dll's in 2.20, not just registry keys.
Furthermore, After carefully following sin's procedure for mixing 2.02 and 2.06 ROMs, the final process leads to the "dual stereo" problem once again, both in my carkit and SE HBH 35.

Last week I bought my Qtek 9090....
I'm searching all weekend to find a solution to get my PDA working with my BMW oem bleutooth carkit...
If I read correctly Looking glass has succeeded in pairing the PDA with the BT carkit.
But can I also use in on a Qtek 9090 in stead of a XDA II..
If yes, can some give me pointers where I can download this software and a bit of a manual how to install....
Thanks in advance,
BT carkits

Hi dennis!
Actually Qtek 9090 is XDA III, so I'm of little help here. I assume that XDA-III had all the things related to BT fixed, so it's a bit surprising to me.
XDA-II with ROM version 2.20 solves the problem, but since the ROM is the core of the OS, it's essentially different from XDA-III (Qtek 9090).
You should do better trying the specifics forums and threads for Blue Angel (your device) so some other users might have found the answer.
Hope it helps!

You're right.. I read this thread wrong I've searched under "BMW"... The thing is I'm searching now for a few days at a number of forums to find a solution so I think my brains are getting a bit overkooked by PDA's.
You're right!
I got really screwed up after days of testing with my BT carkit, just to find that I should keep carrying and old SE T68 to use my brand new HandsFree BT carkit...
So don't feel strange, many here have gone the same road.....
In fact, you'll find it's a bit addictive.... the forum I mean.

Looking Glass,
im using 2.02.t1WWE with a 2004 318i and it works fine for calls, i occasionally get the weirdness where the sound comes out of the phone aswell, but the convinience is awesome,
question is you seem v.happy with 2.20CHS, do you get phonebook transfer and sms reading ability, etc with that ROM ?
thanks

Hi all!
I'm new here after I searched desperately the web for good and useful info on my device.
Since I am located in Germany, I got the T-Mobile MDA Vario and I just love it. I admit I don't use to many of its functions but I use it as contacts-backup, mini-TV and MP3-Player with an 1GB miniSD and the Headset that came with it and I started to be sorry for the iPod-owners who have to get their phone out and earphones out in order to make or receive calls. Unfortunately, its not that convenient yet because my voice dial wont work with the headset-button and I neither can't receive calls by pressing it... I only can adjust the volume.
So, is there something like a bug or software I needed to have?
However, I'm about to upgrade for Bluetooth anyway (maybe for Christmas ). I wonder whether e.g. the Motorola HT820 works. Since I'm not to much into this, I can't quite figure out this A2DP-Stuff... So: is the MDA Vario working with these devices or not?
Thanks a lot!
also new (very new)
im in pretty much the same boat, but there is a bit of info about this stuff on here. the headset you mentioned seems to be a popular one so I would assume that it works.
As for the A2DP stuff I dont know anything beyond what Ive read, but its seems that if you want higher quality sound and stereo then you gotta get a2dp, but at the cost of significantly shorter battery life.
for the most part people will be hesitant to respond to a post on a topic that has been covered before, use the search feature.
start here.

I have Motorola HT820s and i'm very satisfied with them. the quality of the sound is good and the voice calls are great. i have though Faria's 3.2 ROM on the wizard. you can try to get HBH-DS970 from sony ericsson those are great BT heads too, but unfortunately they are not available yet in Romania.
Hi. all . i know this is not an appropriate place to put my problem but i made at least 10 upgrades to my firmware to wm6 so....
i need a hands free bluetooth device for making calls, i tested samsung web200 ,i.tech, and motorola h680 and they make the same thing , i cannot hear anything but my voice is transfered.. is it a compatibility issue(and if it is whats the compatible BT) or i have a problem to my prophet(s200 qtek)
thanks a lot
Is there anyone who could suggest me a bluetooth headset?

i'm using I-tech with no problem on WM6.1
I don't know the solution, but I know the problem.
I red about it before, and I have red the solution, but because I don't use such configuration, I didn't took notice of it.
In general, you need some additional software and/or regsettings to redirect the sound. Best thing to do is to use the "search" option in the top-bar of this forum.
Succes!

Hello buddy, first you have to tell people which particular ROM version and phone and include the radio version that you are using before someone can give you a proper answer. I am using the same SonyEricsson BT and iTech BT and they are all OK. NO BLUETOOTH give you good stereo quality as wired ones. I have many BT headsets and my BT headsets cost are as much as I have paid for my phones.
Now, back to your problem. Flash a ROM, any WM6 ROM. There are quite a few good chefs here, Cloudyfa, Korand, Swiftblade, Gullum ..... just to name a few in random orders.
Before you load any other applications, test out your Wifi, Bluetooth, GPRS and Dialer. If you found you got problem with BT switch to another WM6 ROM. If you tried two to three WM6 ROM and still got the BT problem, you may have a hardware problem. Only the salesman in the local phone store can help you then. If you found BT is not a problem then go back to your WM6.1 ROM. If you have a problem then, nothing you can do except report to the chef and wait for next revision. Meantime, you may try different one even that may not be your favorite choice. Each person has difference preference. This is Prophet forum, you are lucky, there are so many chefs and so many ROM's you can choose from. If you are like me, also have an AtomExec, there is only one cook for it in this whole world for WM6.1 WWE, two cooks for WM6 and none of the existing ROM's are without a serious bug. The phone company was taken over and support is nil. If you are angry, that is to yourself. Who told you to buy a PDA phones. Just like most my friend just get an ordinary (free) cheap phone and use it as a "phone". I hardly heard they have any complaints and obvious they have gain a lot more sleeping hours than I. It is now 3:15 AM my time, and I am still looking for a holy grail (more than one) for my WM6.x phones!
Hi,
Have the same issue with while connecting the phone to my car with BT.
It was perfectly working while on Windows Mobile 2005. The first ROM based on WM 6.0 (Mr Cloudyfa has cooked that rom but I cannot remember the reference) was also working perfectly.
Then I tested Transformer 1.1 and I started having some random issues: Sometimes, phone was not switching the sound on the car (in and out), sometimes it was working quite good.
I recently updated to Hma4 Crystal 5.1, Mr Cloudyfa Shadow 2.0 TE and Korand 3.1 and systematically sound is not switching on the car. On all the tests I made, I had only the chance to have a proper conversation twice
