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.

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 ;-)

Hi!
How did ou get past the "license" message? Could you post it?

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!
Many people have been asking, so I wanted to let everyone know where the new fix stands.
1. This fix will be a real fix, no more crap hacks.
This is a replacement for btagext.dll, so we can just install it, change the ag dll in the registry, and you'll be all set.
2. I have to start over a little bit. I've made serious progress in understanding both the HTC shipped version and the MS VC version of the btag dlls.
3. I was in a car accident, and won't be back to my office to work much for a week or two. I'm getting my laptop back from repair this week, so I will keep you posted.
My release goal day is March 21, but that is now more tentative than before.
XCSdM
Ouch, Get well soon!
I appreciate the effort you are putting into this as I would have no clue where to even begin. I am very sorry to hear about your accident and I also hope you get well soon.
As a developer myself, I am amazed at your ability to understand and reverse engineer compiled DLL files, and even rebuild them. What tools and reading material would you suggest if I wanted to learn to do what you can do?
Fix? why the need
I have VC 1.6 and is working fine in WM6. what is the exact problem, as i have not noticed anything compared to 1.5 which i had before

Do you use it over bluetooth? and if so it is correctly routing messages and listening to your BT headset for input?
It works fine for me on my Wizard but on my Hermes I have the same issues that everyone else has reported.
Get well first

let me know if you need a beta tester.
How are things coming along xcsdm? Hope all is well.
Health comes first!
But playing with these phones comes a close second!
Hope you are recovering well!
I'm eagerly awaiting this release xcsdm. How are things progressing??
@xcsdm
Would love to start using VC again.
Should we expect only a more stable routing or also some new functionality.
Caller announcements and personalized ringtones ?
@xcsdm
Hows your recovering going and how is the fix coming along?
Been in two major car accidents (so I can empathise) but I am still here to pester you for VC 1.6 fix!
I Would Also Love A Fix For Vc 1.6. I Understand Your Situation And Hope You Feel Better.
Kinda new around here, but hope you get to feeling better soon. Got hit by a car walking in a parking lot once, world is full of dumb people.
Looking forward to the VC fix, and to all other members here, thanx for all the work. Hopefully one day I can contribute back.

Give the guy a break - he might be going through the early stage of the amnesia recovery now :-(
any update on the VC fix?? and how are you after the accident...
I think he was unable to get it to work but has not bothered to post any updates.
Hi altogether,
I want to buy a bluetooth GPS Mouse to use with my Wizard.
Actually I ogle with the CMJ-1000.
Has someone experiences with this one or can recommend me another one?
Should be not that expensive.
I want to use it in the car, while biking and walking/hiking.
Thanks in advance.

Search just a little please... this is a thread just a few down from your new one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295300 I personally have given up on recommending accessories as someone will always have a new/better/different suggestion.

Sorry, but I read this thread before I posted this one ;-). First, the thread is quite old and did not contain the information I am looking for.
Perhaps I didn't specify my question good enough. "This device xy works fine for me" doesn't help me, because I don't know the needs of the user who is posting.
Perhaps someone who knows, could give some information, which Specs are needed/recommended/needless to different usages.

Well... just about any BT GPS receiver will work, so look for the form factor that suits your needs. Buy a receiver that has at least a SiRF III chip. Here is a site that has a bunch of receivers http://www.usglobalsat.com/ I use the BT359, I drive, I walk, I use it biking but not while I am riding (electronics, biking, death...all too related ) Someone else suggested the iBlue 737 as seen here http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=175&page=5
Something you'll have to decide is whether you want data logging. That is useful if you are using the receiver without a live BT-phone connection.
Mostly you need to think about what mode you are going to use it in most frequently. For me, its the car (where I have power so I can overclock the phone), but I do use it elsewhere but it just "depends".

PS you could have added to the old thread and it would have "become new again".
just thought I'd give an update
BT-359 with TomTom 7 works absolutely perfect on WM 6.1 ROM

I am struggling with my 2-day-old Sprint Touch Pro 2 and to the eye of the newbie I am, it has been crippled so badly, I'm on the verge of canceling the contract. I was patient enough to wait for about 4 months without a phone until Sprint releases this one but now I am so p1553d off I may switch back to iPhone (and before that I was an Sprint user again). Before all these stories I had (and I still have it on my desk) a WM5 iMate Jamin and it worked well without any need for upgrade (well, at least for ME).
But Now: Except for the start menu and and the one that closes the appz I can't use e.g. the battery indicator and sound volume icon on top of the Today screen. Plus I can't install 'advanced configuration tools' and a couple of other appz that used to work smoothly on my WM5. It feels like Sprint have totally butchered the OS; I mean I shoulda been able to do ordinary stuff at least. Paid 450 (no rebate yet) and it's a pile of shame.
Now the question: is there any step by step ROM upgrade process available for this special device, cuz I am afraid I mess up the whole thing upon upgrade.
PS: My ROM version is 1.21.651.3 for that matter.
Thank you in advance.
first you are in the wrong forum... you need the rhodium forum.
since this is primarily a gsm site i would head over to ppc geeks and check out the tp2 forum there.
as far as i know they are still waiting for a unlocker for your phone so no custom roms yet.

Thank you so much for your both corrections and directions. I am gonna keep an eye on that topic out there. Hopefully something comes out in coming weeks..
Nobody ask for any roms i have to whole collection of them all. I see nobody wants to move on. well I still use it and i still laugh out loud, about it.BC the ipad or ipod and new devices can do what this can do too. i have made this thing in to a machine that never ends so many programs like about 100,000.00 programs collected them since 1999 when the older device were around. (like h3800 ipaq) and all those old programs still work for the WM6.5....... The device you use today Ipaq and amsung and so, you r being track down ever step you take but the old device as in HTC X7500 Advantage can not be trace or track down, bc as long as you know to chage the mac an ip you are ok. but who care anyway no buddy join my group, i still wonder why? there is still more with the connection of HTC X7500 and the HTX X9500 shift still lives with me.
