Please be informed that there are some references within the O.S. of this device to IR (InfraRed) connections and IR file trasfer.
It seems they are not in any kind referred to IR (which is not even present in this device), but to the same functions the phone may offer with BT (Bluetooth) connections.
Hence, the confirmation mark you may add to IR Trasfers (translation may differ) within "Settings - Connections" is just referred to BT connections.
BT connections cannot even take place if you do not activate such function in the above mentioned place.
Do not go back to your dealer for phone substitution then... ;-)

Hello, i'm new in this forum. I have the following problem: I have to install a MDA II on a PC in our company, but for security reasons i have to disable all communication functions like blue tooth and internet before doing this.
Is this possible? How can I do this?
greetings,
xda-developer
If it's for security reasons then don't connect to the PC.
Other wise how secure will it be. If you hack the registry for bluetooth and take out the sim for phone (to inhibit internet access) then that person can put in a SDIO with WIFI or Bluetooth an yet has communication oppertunities again. Or he can put in another SIM so the phone is up again.
Most of above is also valid if you would give that person a plain PocketPC.

if you disable phone and bluetooth then why get a xda2 at all ?
@markutah
thank you for your answer. I have to connect the MDA for synchronizing email and contacts with Outlook. Although Internet and Bluetooth have to be deactivated, the phone-function must still be available.
I thought of deinstalling or hiding the Internet Explorer in the registry (the user isn't skilled enaugh to modify the registry to turn on again). Unfortunately, I have no idea for doing this. And I have no idea how I could disable bluetooth.
@Rudegar
A user (the chief of our company) have bought a MDA II from T-Mobile (and he really don't care about our security policies). I'm not allowed to change or ignore these policies, but on the other hand I have to connect the MDA to the PC. :?
I think Internet is easy: In the connection profiles on the Proxy settings tab uncheck "this network connects to the internet".
This must be done for both work and internet profile.
But for bluetooth? I can't help you. Maybe a little bit stupid but instruct him not to turn bluetooth on would I say.
Mark
how will se be syncing with outlook ?
if by usb then no problem
about bluetooth then there are some posts in the forums if you search where people give the registry values you have to change to disable bluetooth and remove the icons (of cause by reversing those changest he could turn it back on unless you remove it by hammer and screwdriver )
about grps then you can just delete the settings in
settings connections -> connections and remove the extry's regarding grps
of cause if he want he could just type them back in
but another way is to get the phone company to block grps
on most cellphone company's it's not enabled as default and you have to ask them to turn it on, so i asume you could ask them to turn it off
the buttomline is that you can make anything 100% secure
Thank you all very much. The MDA is connected to our network now.

well, i just recognized that my bt always autostarts on a softreset, but i cant deactivate it after this, the bt icon (bottom right corner) is there but i cant click on it
any suggestions?
1- And from settings->Bluetooth settings?
just to see whether you can't turned it off at all.
2- Sometimes in the response is bad and the interface appears after a long time.
Sorry have no solution. Had sometimes the same problem.
Regards,
Mark
to 1.)
when i go to settings - bt settings it shows me the widcomm bt settings, but not the ms settings (i have both, widcomm and ms bt) i also deleted the widcomm bt from the startup folder, so theres only one bt driver loaded,...
edit: oh no, my fault, its not the widcomm settings, its the ms ****, with bt beam authentication, active sync setup and serial port setup , i know there was another bt settings where i could enable and disable it, but where is it?
the one with activesync bluetooth and..........
is in system->system
the one with turning on and off and bonding devices is in
system->connections
there is only one bt icon in connections, and thats the one for widcomm's
Hi,
I installed Erofich´s WM 6.1 Pro ROM V2 and I also installed TomTom.
Everything is working except the Bluetooth GPS Receiver.
Both devices (Receiver and Phone) are on and visible but the Telephone can not find the GPS Receiver.
The Receiver is working perfectly with my Diamond but not with the 8500.
Can anyone help me with that? (I read something about an extra external gps applet)
Regards,
sapphire_pro
i have the same rom and i use my gps reciver with route 66 and it works fine. try turning bluetooth on before you launch tomtom. and do not let the program itself to turn in on..
Yeah you are right but at first I have to pair the Receiver with the Phone (Add Device) and this is the point that is not working.
Didnt you paired your Receiver with the Phone first?
no. i did not pair it. as long as it is working, no problem
I use TomTom on the Standard version and the program pair the devices by it self as mentioned before... Just launch TomTom and it will set automaticaly, if not, do it manually. Go to the GPS Configure screen in TomTom following this steps:
Main Menu>Change preferences>next>next>next>Show GPS status>Configure
Hope it solves your problem...
Maybe...
.... this helps:
got exactly the same prob.
difference between wm5.2/6.1:
you may need to manually configure a outgoing serial port for your bt-gprs connection as follows:
Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth/Bluetooth/
Select Your BT-GPS
Next
check "Serial Port"
Now Your back to the BT-Device Menu:
Menu/Com Ports/Menu/New Outgoing Port/Select BT-GPS/Select Com"X"/Done
Now go to TomTom's GPS Settings an select your Com"X"
This should do.
Good Luck!
ps.
devices need to be successfully paired first, of course
Hi Ppl.,
I'm starting a new project with this thread.
Goal is to get TMC running within Navigation Software on X10.
As we all know from the specs and my determining over here, that there is no FM Chip assembled to the X10.
But our User drobec208 had the Idea to make use of an external bluetooth / TMC device.
The Idea is to use the "FM9BT-C", made by GNS GmbH with "usually TMCable" navigation software. (Nice side affect: FM9BT-C also brings a 5V, 1A USB Charger ).
I ordered one FM9BT-C and received it yesterday.
As I make use of Sygic mobile maps for Android, I knew from the .ini files, that TMC is just deactivated after stock installation of Sygic.
Within the folder: "\sdcard\Drive\Android\" you can find the .ini files too.
But now, I'm a little stuck.
I can't even connect FM9BT-C to X10.
Pairing works fine, but the my phone shows: "Paired but not connected".
I also can't connect both devices.
I guess, it's the same issue, like I had with my Bluetooth keyboard:
Android 1.6 is simply not capable for HID Devices.
So I guess its same with the TMC Device.
The TMC Device needs to be set up with a COM Port.
But atm I don't even get so far.
So guys, whats your advice?
Any Devs around, that can help out?
Do I have to wait for 2.1 this month?
Is Android not TMC capable at all?
Kind regards,
McK
O.k., as far as I could determine myself, a Bluetooth COM Port is needed for sure.
But how can I set it up in Android?
Is is that impossible with 1.6?
if it's connected via BT I'm affraid the problem is limited Bluetooth profiles support on 1.6. The USB on FM9BT-C is just for charging?
O.k., I feared something like that.
As the Update to 2.1 will come in a few Weeks, we will see more, after it was released.
Du you know something about the profiles in 2.1?
Japp, the USB connector is for charging only.
not much, just google I'm waiting for 2.x just because of BT profiles and my SE MBW-150 support via OpenWatch http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/

http://www.google.com/support/forum...n&fid=40c6f9447eac44e600047f171034e819&hltp=2
otherwise I'm affraid we have to wait for 2.2
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html#PlatformTechnologies
I've also recently found this Thread in a German Forum:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/439320-post42.html
Roughly, fast and only the important thing translated: Wit Android 2.1 for X10, the Bluetooth Stack will be updated to Bluetooth V 2.1, which introduces:
- secure simple pairing
- GAP Generic Access Profile
- GOEP Generic Object Exchange Profile
- OPP Object Push Profile
- PBAP Phonebook Access Profile
- SPP Serial Port Profile
So, we have to wait a little more....
@MBW-150: OMG? S///E X10 isn't supporting a S///E Bluetooth Watch... *[email protected]///E*
Uhm, bad news.
I still get "paired but not connected".
Even after updating to 2.1.
I guess the connection has to be initiated by software (like on the bluetooth keyboards).
Does anybody know the name or so of the bluetooth com port?
I'd try to connect through Sygic Mobile Maps.
hi, I'm not glad to hear that.
what happens if you try to find TMC device from within the Sygic?
P.S: My MBW-150 finaly works with X10

Unfortunately: Nothing...
My last hope is to set the bluetooth comport manually within Sygic.
With a little chance, it will activate the connection if it knows the way...
But I don't know the port
Is there an app, to list the ports or so?
maybe http://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/ ?
Uhm... I have no idea how to use that App

Is there a way to disable the remote sim protocol on the S3? My carkit (RNS510 premium from Volkswagen) connects via this protocol but it's not the preferred method. There is a workarround, i can manually disconnect and then connect to the carkit via the phone (i think it connects via a2dp or something), but it's bit of a hassle. If I could just disable rsap my carkit will automaticlly connect via the other protocol (like it connects with an iphone)
If your phone is rooted you can rename /system/lib/bluez-plugin/sap.so. This should remove the SAP profile from your phone. Perhaps you have to repeat the pairing.

I am so happy that rSAP is available now - before I had to root and install 3rd party software. But usually you can decide while pairing which mode you like - at least my Audi asks which connection mode I would like. Maybe you have to unpair first on both devices and the pair again.
Out of interest: Why is rSAP not your preferred method? The phone itself uses less energy, reception is better due to the build in antenna and also the phonebook features are available in the car.
The only reason for me would be the lack of data connection on the phone which is only true if your car does not provide the Wifi Hotsport function - with this my S3 is connecting to the Internet and also the car has access for online traffic info, Google Earth, etc...

Grrr, why it does not want to work with MMI on A7? and he wants have disconnected, doh
I made the update, but nothing. It fails after the request of 6 digit PIN (indeed, I had 16 digits on my old BB Storm). Also with that 3rd party app, it doesn't work... what car do you have and what did you exactly to make it works?
Thanks.
Oooh...which firmware version did rsap support come in?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
XXB LG8 for sure.
Will you try?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Hi there!
My name is Andre and I installed a Volkswagen Bluetooth kit with the remote SIM feature.
As I paired my Galaxy SIII with the kit, my phone asked me a couple of things that I auto answered yes...
The first one was about giving permission to access my SIM.
After that my phone always entered in remote SIM mode with the kit.
Today I remade the pairing and when my phone asked to enable access to the kit for my SIM... I answered NO (and checked the box "do not ask me this again").
Now me, my phone and my car seem to be understanding each other.
Hope that this was of any help,
Andre
