Does anybody now whether it's possible to replace Microsoft's bluetooth stack with the one from Widcomm? Thabks
Yes, you can replace the MS Bluetooth driver withbthe Widcomm Stack.
You can check this site:

MS has a lot of HowTos online relating the Bluetooth-issue.

I am confused I thought the original poster was asking for his handheld device, the link however refers to XP SPK2?????
I don't think there's a way to replace the MS stack with Widcomm on the Hermes (which is what I believe the original question was about).

Now I am confused, too.
Widcomm Bluetooth Stack
Yes, I ment replacing Bluetooth stack on HTC TyTN. While I was searching Internet and xda-developers forums about the possibility of BT stack replacement, I actually learned that it can be done for some HTC PDA's. Therefore I think that theoretically it's possible.
Also need this for Blackstone HTC Touch HD
Because of Bluetooth issues with my Nissan Carkit i'm also looking for a way to remove the MS bluetooth stack with an other one, or maybe the bluetooth stacj of WinMo 5.x or 6.0 will do....

Hey Everyone
Two things i need help with
Firstly - i want to get a bluetooth keyboard for my XDA2 but i can't find any. Does anyone know where to get these from. Also, i found a virtual keyboard which might interest some people which can be found at the link below
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/ibizpda/vike.html
Secondly - Microsoft Voice Command looks excellant but is currently only available in the US and Canada, does anyone know how i can get it now or when it will become available in the UK?
Thanks for any help you can give
Michael
maybe this one?
http://davesipaq.com/articles/000058/bluetooth_keyboard_ipaq
Nope, that keyboard won't be compatible:
It requires the Widcom or Socket bluetooth stacks. The i-Mate has that piece of sh*t Microsoft one.
I am really starting to get sick of the horrid bluetooth software on the i-Mate :evil: A first class PDA phone and fifth class bluetooth software.
Anyway, confirmed here:
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2903
well nokia just showd a bluetooth keyboard at some show
which will be out in the fall
maybe it would work ?
My understanding that it is possible to install Widcom stack on the i-mate, at least I remember doing that on my previously. So, it might work with keyboard in this case.
What's the difference between the I-Mate and the XDA2. I'm new to this technology and don't know the difference. They seem very similar.
HTC is the company from korea who makes the 2 devices supported on this site
'Wallaby' and 'Himalaya'
the former is xda1 and mda1 and qtek1010 and l.......
the later is xda2 and imate and qtek2020 .......
so to answer your question
they are the same hardware
Thanks for the info. So, you cant use something like the Logitech bluetooth keyboard? I know they have full size keyboards for the pc but will it work with the XDA2? By the way, does anyone know anything else about the virtual keyboard i refered to with the link? it looks ok but might not be better than bluetooth.
Can someone please post the Link to download the WM 2003 SE, because i see like 20 posts each like 15 pages which is filled with 10 roms and upgrades...can someone just post the link(Modified and ready to use)with the RIGHT steps below it

Dear,
Follow my link to original developers of WM2003SE here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14373
HTH
Man, I am so insecure of which rom to use after all the zillion editions that surface each day, that I am afraid of using a buggy one. Better wait for a stable confirmed image, I guess.
Why not combine your own?
I use 2.06WWE (mysteryman) as found in the other posts, kept it as is, only exchanging the radio stack to 1.18 (picked up from 2.02)
I find it pretty stable, only has some trouble getting avantgo to work properly...
Problem of combining is that i don't have time to get that much into it, i'm afraid. My normal working hours are so hard that i hardly have time to sleep, so I'd like to get a working edition that is just plug'n'play as it's so nicely put by M$
Can you post your setupfile ?
If you dont have enough time, dont upgrade. Sounds like your to busy to worry about things like phones. Use 2 cups and some string instead. ROM upgrade your carrier pigeon, they are also more reliable.
I'd recommend you wait until a proper upgrade comes out from your phone provider.
The upgrades (especically SIN v3.5) do work well and don't take a whole load of time to install, but you can have problems.
I guess the questions should be, is there a Rom Kitchen
version of WM2003SE?
The Kitchens are the best way to cook up a custom rom with or without your desired ingredients.
Also, is there an XDA I version of WM2003SE?
I just upgraded and it work like dream! I also got the widcomm 1.4.x to work perfectly with my superduper version which was bundled with my norwegian BT dongle. No problem with that "license" message either. Anyone need that package, let me know and I can post it.
Also, syncing with Async using BT works superb too.
NB! My stringphone is already upgraded ;-)

Er, people. When you say that Widcomm software is installed and working for you, can you also post what type of Bluetooth dongle/USB adapter you are using?
I think the license issue arises from the fact that Widcomm forced each BT dongle/USB adapter vendor to hardcode the device ID into a btsec.dll file issued with the Widcomm BT installation files.
If you have the software from someone, and you are using the same type of BT dongle/USB adapter as that guy, then you are in luck, coz the license is the same.
I had 2 dongles, one a generic CSR device and another Belkin one. Both comes with their version of Widcomm software, and the software wouldn't cross-interact with both devices because of the license issue.
What a DIM comm idea!
Hi,
I only forward an information from IVT. I asked them if they try to make BT solution for our XDA II.
I tryed MS, Widcomm and many combinations on my XDA II. But every time i got problems, unstability or something of Synchronization, Modem, Headset, Handsfree, GPS didn't work.
I have BlueSoleil BT with my MSI BThub and I thing it's very good. Maybe best I tryed (M$, Widcomm).
So, there are the answer from IVT>
......I am the project manager of BlueSoleil CE's product. I am so glad that you want IVT provide a good Bluetooth solution on it. Actually we want to have a solution on T-mobile MDA II Pocket PC Phone if we can get help from HTC people's supporting!
We will contact with HTC's people to see if we can have a solution on it! I am really not sure that we can get any help from HTC!....

Maybe a hope for us. Maybe some petition or some(many) E-mails to HTC support can help. What do you think?

I am looking for bluetooth stereo headphones. I have looked at logitech and motorola ht820. I have not actually used them. Have you used either one. I just want to know about performance and your opinion.
Thanks,
ptfdmedic
You perobably wanted to post this in the accessories sub-forum.
Mods, you wanna move this?
My motorola HT820s were only AUD$50 on ebay and work brilliantly, had to patch my Magician when i used them with that. only thing i had to do with the hermes was load the skipping patch, only thing im waiting to do on the hermes is load the widcomm bluetooth stack when its finished (i dont mind the MS one though)
Forgive me if this subject has been covered, I've not been able to find much on this and I'm fairly new to all this having just aquired a Hermes recently.
One of the things I did hope to do with this (amongst many other things of course) is to use this device as a remote control. I have a number of devices that would become unusable if their remotes were to die and so creating a dbase of all those obscure remotes has been worthwhile using my ipaq to date.
Currently I've tested a couple of pieces of software which work but it appears that the infra red signal is pretty weak, particularly when comparing it to my iPaq 2210 running Nevo. It's far too weak to really be of that much use.
Anyway before I give up on this path I thought I'd try to find out if anyone else has found this to be as weak as I have and more to the point, would a radio or ROM upgrade help or is this down to the hardware that HTC used for the irDA?
It is in general that most PDA's have a 'weak' IrDA submitter. HP is really an exception. I also missed this powerful Irda when I switched one day ... !
A ROM upgrade won't change this.
You might be better off by buying a UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL for your devices. Even your HERMES might be happy and last a bit longer.

Ok thanks for the information. I was kind of expecting this to be the case. I might have to hang on to the HP, it works a treat. It's a shame though.
I'll concentrate on finding out about the rest of the stuff I need to resolve like the gps problems as Tomtom is one of the priorities.
