I just got my XDA II and loving it. This is my first post here, I've been looking for a great XDA site and now I found one.
First question is, how do you guys find all those ROM updates and Radio Stack upgrade? I have 1.60.00WWE and Radio version 1.08.00. Is there a new rom upgrade out there that I can't find in myxda.com site?
Second question, could I replace the Microsoft Bluetooth stack so I can use my bluetooth headset to listen to music or videos?
Thank you for your time,
Eberhard
I can answer the second question, the bluetooth on the xda2 does not allow listening to music through bluetooth headset neither has the full handsfree/headset profile been implemented. A very clever person has however written a program called pocket bluetooth tools which go some way to addressing some of the shortcoming regarding serial port profiles. Some of the later roms however have negated the need for this program. Run a search on this forum for "bluetooth", make sure you have an hour or two to spare.

As you know,the Xda 2 is name by thousand of other names like MDA2,I-Mate pocket pc phone,Q-tek 2020,etc..
The official upgrades you can find everywhere,especially on the company site like: www.clubimate.com (I-Mate)
www.myxda.com (Xda-O2)
www.qtek.nu (Q-tek)
Who let you download the newest upgrade by free.
-Actually there isn't such implemetantion on curent bluettoh stack but,have you tryed installing the new Bluetooth hacked Stack from Widcomm?
I give u the link for Access the Lan over Bluetooth,then you will find the link to the download of the Stack named BluetoothGPS.zip

Thanks for all the tips you guys given me. I tried bluetooth stack and so far it works.
As for the hack on the bluetooth, I'm going to try it now.
But it still don't fulfill my satisfaction as I can't listen to music thru my bluetooth headset, at least not with bluetooth tools.
Thanks again, I hope this bluetooth hack will solve my needs to listen to music over my headset.
what hack are you guys talking about ??
i ve installed widcomm stack and the kai patch. when the widcomm manager connects to the headset it gives beeping sounds but after i answer the beeps there is no sound on my imate or the headset..
what hack are you guys talking about ??
Well, I tried the Widcomm BT tools and the darn thing don't work. 2 Bluetooth Icon Appeared on the bottom and I tried to connect my Headset and it doesn't want to stay connected when I hit the connect button. It would sound on but then it turns off and I can't answer a call with it.
Does Widcomm BT has to be installed with the Bluetooth Tools?
Having played around with WM2003se I still find that the MS Bluetooth stack is quite silly. I have seen some posts of people claming to have the widcomm stack working with SE, but I have not yet been able to find instructions.
The important things to me are in this order:
1. Hands free (headset and car kit)
2. GPS (Falcom NAVI-1)
3. BT Activesync
Would be nice to know whether this is possible.
Respect to dcs, mamaich, sin and everyone else assiting withe the wm2003se project for Himalaya.
yes, it is working with Win2k3SE
but not really sure working with other BT device
e.g Handfree, no sound and etc
Where to find the widcomm stack
I've actually been able to get my Xda II to run the following since ROM 1.60 to my current 2.06:
1. Bluetooth Headset (Sony Ericsson / EPoX)
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth
3. File sending and receiving from other bluetooth devices
I have no GPS, so I haven't tested this yet.
what about the hands free is it working guys?
HI!
See my new thread "BT carkits woes come to an end with 2003 SE"
regarding BT handsfree carkits.

:wink:
Hi, I have a XDA II TSM 500 (Telefonica) in Spanish versions:
rom 1.72.03 ESN
03/*15/04
1.10.00
1337.18
ext rom 1.72.102
And I have a parrot ck3100 but it doens´t work, I cant uase the parrot I have install the bt tools but nothing, bttools v10.12 and 11.00 but nothing, and the widcomm program but nothing, can someone help me?, must I upgrade the room? what rom?. Thanks
The parrot carkit is one of the few that support the BT headset profile. This profile is the only (speech) one the standard Himalaya roms support.
So . . .It should work. Afaik, you do have to configure the parrot in order to make it support the headset (instead of handsfree) profile.
I think this should be in the manual.
As from 1.72 roms there is NO NEED to use the Pocket Bluetooth Tools for these matters. Uninstall those!
The widsomm stack wont help either, because that one supports a lot of protocols, but it does not support the headset . . .
RE
Thanks but when I syncronice my XDA with parrot in the screen of parrot appear HEAD SET!! but dont appear coberture, battery, agenda, and I cant speek throught the parrot my radio versiono is 1.00, whan I configure the XDA II bluetooth I put the com4 and com5 enable is this right?, thanks.
RE
I tested It again, it puts HEADSET in the screen of parrot, whan I call from XDA II puts bluetooth headset is on but I it dosn´t work in parrot or in XDA II listen nothing, and the sincronice fails after 30 seconds, I downloaded 2 roms from here "windowsmobile2003se.exe", "RUU172601WWE.exe" must I put one of this?, thanks.
I bought a parrot driveblue, it didn't work . I called parrots office and they said me my version Rom 1.66.00 radio 1.10.00 wasn't high enough to work with driveblue, and I see that you still have the same radio 1.10.00. Isn't it that, your problem ?
Look edsub has a OS 1.72.00 and a radio 1.17.00.
If you change with your ESN by a WWE , be carefull with the country error code !
May be I'm wrong and this have nothing to see with your problem.

I have one of the first Parrot CK3000 which works fine with a Sony T610 mobile. I have expended hours of effort trying to get to work with an XDAI, an XDAII and a PDA2K (borrowed).
I tried Windows Mobile 2003, 2003se and various BT tools. None worked.
I upgraded my XDAII to Magneto (WM5) and BINGO! works fine now!

:arrow: INFO: New version is here!
Thanks very much Sin!
Been Looking forward to this SiN! Made my weekend!
Thank Sin for putting it together.
I originally Had and Orange SPV M1000, and upgraded it with the O2 1.72 version, in the hope that it would sort out the problems with Blue Tooth and Handsfree car kits, which it did not of course.
Thought I would try the rom from Mystery Man, which interestingly did not require any changes to the files to allow it to update, which also did not work the blue tooth, so I was going to try just updating the Radio to 1.18, but saw your new package pop up, so thought what the hell, give it a go, and now I am made up cos been very frustrated that it would not work in car kit.
The car kit I have is the Nokia CK-7W Blue tooth if this helps anyone else, I also assume it will work with the others, in particualr the built in ones in BMW's.
So thanks again everyone, I can sleep now.

Other known issues..
Thanks for the job SIN!
I have to point out a couple of issues I'm having since long, that seem related to the BT problem, but looks like no one else is having: "DUAL STEREO" sound in both (XDA II and Handsfree/headset) devices.
No matter BT headset is "enabled" or "disabled", the devices configured as "handsfree" are operational. Plus, my HBH 35 headset refuses to work unless configured as a handsfree device. After that, every handsfree device works in "STEREO" mode. Nice for multi part conferences, but annoying for your caller, who hears every tap on the XDA in your pocket, since the mic is operational no matter what.
I'm really the only one with this problem?
:?:
Hi Sin
Just a quick question, tried to change the splash1 & 2 images, to get away fro O2 image you put into file, but having probs with corrupted display if the image, howd you do it please, as I understand the normal method does not work with Chinese and Trial versions !
Many thanks in advance.

Does the headset mic work on handsfree profile Sin?
thanks Sin
I tried to modify the extended ROM to modify the provider list but couldn't found the autoconfig.txt, is it ok to create autoconfig and put it there? or did you merged the autoconfig inside Sin.Merged.v1.0.cab?
please let me know
thanks

Re: Other known issues..
Looking Glass,
Your not the only one with this problem.
I have a bmw with bluetooth and it does the dual stero trick.
I have a Bluespoon Digital and it also does the dual stereo trick.
Has any one tried removing the head set profile and leaving just the hands free
Thanks
Jon

Other Bluetooth Devices
Before I try out these new updates which sound fantasic, I am interetsed to know how this will effect my bluetooth GPS.
Currently I am using bluetooth tools to connect my GPS to my XDAII, does the new roms enhance bluetooth or should I still install bluetooth tools?
thanks.

I just tried the car again and it worked perfectly. So it looks like I only have the problem with the Bluespoon.
I'm pretty happy with the car working as that was what I really wanted.
Johnson..... you have to log in then you will find the attchments at the bottom of the first post in this thread.
Guest... I dont have a bluetooth GPS. Ive no idea if it works. I do know you cant get the Sandisk WiFi SD card to work which is a bummer.

ExtendedROM...
@ Sin,
This merge ROM version of yours, what is the most very important file that I need to keep on my extended_ROM? Last time I used your version without any problem But I need to remove some CAB file for my own customization. But now seems that ms_.nbf has only one file (Sin.Merged.v1.0.cab) which I think all the CAB file was in there.
Is it possible to gave us your merge CAB without the rest of installed program? Or is it okay to delete some CAB on extended_ROM after installation (cooked-own ROM style)?
Thanks!

Nice to know, thanks for info, I was about to think no one else has the problem.
I've been experimenting during the weekend, and found that the problem remains quite the same: some headsets/handsfree only work if the HandsFree profile is selected, and then the "dual stereo" problem arises again.
By contrast, version 2.20 properly handles every "audio" device (at least my devices) but I haven't found how to made BT ActiveSync back to life. Plus the other known issues with the translation (May I help Buzz_lightyear?)
Resume: Excellent job by Sin (regards) but the whole BT thing is not yet fixed. I like his "new compact" Ext Rom, but since HandsFree profile is at this time more important to me than BT ActiveSync, I'm going back to 2.20.
Not there yet...

I have a CoPilot Bluetooth GPS unit and it does not need Bluetooth Tools to get it to work via serial port emulation. I'm using 2.06 ROM.
With the BT GPS bonding, you get to say you want it to be a serial port but you don't get to specify what specific port number like with Bluetooth tools. This is not a problem with CoPilot software as it will FIND the serial port and baud rate in it's Bluetooth connection/configuration setup.
I also have a SanDisk SDIO WiFi card which also works fine (note the card is NOT the SDIO RAM+WiFi though!).

Hi again!
How exactly did you get to eliminate de "Dual stereo" effect in your carkit? I have too a HBH 35 headset and the problem remains on both of them.
This is my only complain, everything else works so well! And Sin made such a good job putting the Ext Rom together!
Thanks Sin for the easy to install ROM.. well done.
My Bluetooth GPS works fine, a bit of a change not having to select a port, but the port is displayed so that wasn't a problem.
My Logitech Headset refuses to work. It pairs with the XDAII but I am unable to iniate a call from the headset and the mic doesn't work.
The Bluetooth smybol is gone from the task bar too... probably something I did...
Is there a cab about that allows me to reinstall the bluetooth section just in case I stuffed somethign up?
Thanks.
