TomTom Navigator 7.918(9193) Volume Control? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have TomTom Navigator 7.913(9189) on my Leo. It is a custom ROM using the latest shipping base & packages (3.14) and WM 6.5.3 (5.2.23152). I have a Bluetooth carkit (XCarLink) and the pairing is set up OK as far as I can see. The XCarLink has Hands-free and Stereo Audio. Playing music is fine, however the audio from TomTom is at maximum and whatever I change the volume to in TomTom it stays the same. It is so bad that there is clipping. I have changed the 'Link volume to car speed' to enabled and disabled and there is no difference.
I had the same version (same .CAB) on my Blackstone and the audio worked perfectly on this.
Any ideas?
Andy

Hi,
had a similar problem with the Mobile Navigator
I think it has something to do with HTC's own Bluetooth stack.
Strangely, it was not at all tested Costumrom's
One solution I have not found yet.

Hi!
This is just to let you know taht you are not alone. I got the very same problem on my HD2, Jabra connector and Navigator.
The problem apears just using blutooth, using the earphone jack it works flaweless.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Gabriel

After a lot of searching I now understand that the BT stack on the HD2 is the Widcomm/Broadcom BT stack and this is the issue. On the Blackstone its the MS BT stack. Apparently the Broadcom stack doesn't support volume control - this is supposedly a function of the bluetooth audio device and the volume must be controlled by it. Its not part of the BT standard if I am to believe other posts? This is obviously different from how the MS stack worked as this worked perfectly on my Blackstone.
I did some research into maybe getting the MS stack transplanted back into the HD2 ROM but I never got very far with it - I assume its possible as the Windows Phone 7 ROMs for the HD2 have the MS BT Stack don't they? Plus all the HD2 Android ROMs using other drivers for the BT?

Headset option available but no Hands Free option on XDAII

I need some help and I'm not technical... when using my XDAII with only a Jabra FreeSpeak BT250 I had no problems at all. Recently I had my car dealer install a bluetooth hands free system (Parrot CK3000 - www.bluedrive.com) in my car and when I pair with my XDAII the headset connection is lost with the Jabra becuase there is no handsfree option on the XDAII. As I understand it, I must have a headset profile for the Jabra and a handsfree profile for the CK3000. Is it possible to have two profiles on my XDAII for two types of connections? If so, how? If not, does anyone know how I could have two headset profiles that I could easilly switch between based on the pairing device I want to use? Please help...

Well, the XDA II comes with Microsoft's Bluetooth stack, and that stack just does not implement the Handsfree Profile. Some people have, with some degree of success, installed a Widcomm Bluetooth stack on an XDA II. However, as the Widcomm stack was never officially ported to the XDA II, it cannot completely replace the Microsoft stack, so that solution has a few quirks (having two stacks, and switching betrween them for different applications). If you want to try that, just search for "Widcomm". Be advised, however, that the Widcomm stack is not freeware, and is not sold separately. So, all version you find are pirated.
Then there are the Pocket Bluetooth Tools (http://bluetooth.i-networx.de). I think they would allow you to have more than one Bluetooth headset paired with your XAD II, but unfortunately at least the version 1.1.0 does not work with your Parrot. I know that for sure, because I have a Parrot CK-3000 myself (firmware 3.13), and no matter what I tried, it didn't work.
And this is where your options end... no luck, I am afraid.

Two BT Stacks...what are the potential problems
Thanks for the initial support...very helpful!
If I install the Widcomm Bluetooth software what functions will not be supported/available. I currently have he Jabra FreeSpeak BT250 and the Parrot CK-3000 I would like to pair but also have a BT Sony Vaio Laptop PCG-Z1WAMP3 that I will pair over the next few days and plans to purchase a BT GPS unit in a week that works on the XDAII and the Laptop. Will Widcomm software support all my needs or will it fall short.
PS - before reading your post I tried Pocket Bluetooth Tools (http://bluetooth.i-networx.de) version 1.1.0 and I could not pair the two either. I was initially happy and finally maddened! Should this be removed before adding Widcomm if I do elect to proceed?
Cances of getting anything to work with your sony vaio (other than other sony kit) are slim, sony use their own peculiar bluetooth stack and it doesn't support any but the most basic profiles on any other stack. If I try to search services on my sony c1-mhp from my xda 2 with either widcomm stack or microsoft stack all i get is a load of serial ports.
I did see a thread a while ago about using the widcomm stack on a vaio, but can't remember where.

Well, it'll be hard enough to get two stacks together working on one hardware, so I don't think it'll be a good idea to add a third player (the Bluetooth Tools) to the game.
I had the Widcomm installed only very briefly. Some time after that, more elaborate instructions on how to install and set up the beast occured on this forum, so your best bet is to search the forum for "Widcomm" and read everything you find. Be warned - it still is a big hack that involves manually adjusting Registry entries and such things.

Getting TomTom 3 and a bluetooth headset to work with XDA2s

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to an XDA2s from an XDA2. All my software runs fine with the exception of one clash. My Tomtom 3 software prevents the bluetooth from connecting with anything. If I do a build without Tomtom, the bluetooth works fine.
The GPS unit isn't bluetooth, its a wired one.
The bluetooth headset is compatible with the XDA2s and works.
Has anyone seen this/Fixed it?
I'm having to keep 2 backups on the go, one with Tomtom and one without. Ideally I'd like to not have to do this
All ideas most welcome. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
UPDATE : I have upgraded my radio to version 6.10 and my bluetooth drivers to 3900. The bluetooth is much better now but Tomtom still interrupts it.

WM 2005 and Bluetooth Hands Free

Does the WM 2005 bluetooth work properly with handsfree profile or is it like 2003 and only work with head set profile :?:
Thanks
Jon
Works perfectly with my MR Handsfree headset. Until now I could not get it working in handsfree mode. With WM2005 it is working.
Own an AUDI with the factory installed Bluetooth handsfree kit and I have never been able to pair the XDAii with it so that it works properly - incredibly unstable and never could get to work completely... been lurking this forum and others and tried lots of solutions... upgraded the OS to WM5 today and first time paired and works perfectly - even displays caller ID on the Audi instrumentation!!! Most pleased - now if only I can get the o2 GPRS connection to work
Did notice the following problems with the Bluetooth
- Com ports not recognised - seemed to have something to do with the pairing... simple reset after pairing with Audi would then allow com port assigned to BT GPS (not fully tested yet)
- Multiple pairing - device seems to want to pair more than once not sure about this one but who cares it works now

I have Ericsson's HBH-65 and WM2005 uses it as Headset only. It doesn't even call-back when I press headset button :-(((((((
Motorola HS-850...
I have a Motorola HS-850 and it works perfectly with WM2005 in Handsfree mode.
Now if I can just get it to voicedial via bluetooth...
Jabra BT250 here and Handsfree works great!!!
WM2005 is the only OS that I have had where my Jabra does what i want it to do.
Craig.
The crux is can you activate your phone through your BT headset to call any number?
No good in a BMW
I loaded 2005 and tried to pair it with my BMW, although the pairing went well and the hands free profile was selected, its no better than Sins 2003 rom.
The microphone in the car doesnt work, the speakers do. The microphone on the phone is the active one. It wont connect a call unless you try twice and you have to answer call twice before they connect.
Bugger
Jon
In the devices list, tap and hold the car kit, and select handsfree, see if this helps.
Voice dialling
The thing I find most surprising with WM2005 (and the previous versions for PPC) is the lack of hands free/car kit voice dialling. That is one thing the P910 has over WM2005 phones that emphasises that full convergence has not happened in the mind of developers... the PPC is a PDA with phone connectivity, whereas the Symbian system has taken the approach that its a phone first and foremost. With the simple addition of hands free voice dialling, WM2005 could be the first really convergent OS.
(I'm kinda hoping someone will say they have a perfect voice-dialling system in place for the XDAII with WM2005, in which case I'll gladly eat my words)
I am still very grateful for ALL those here who have helped deliver three OS upgrades to my XDA in the space of 18 months!!!
Some people are using Microsoft Voice command with Magneto and they reported it to work well.
Cheers
Pat

ditto with Merc 2003 E class.
same old problem with handsfree
i also have the Motorolla HS850 and though it did work for a while it seems to be back to mic and speaker working on the device and only speaker on the headset!
so though you can hear the call on the headset the mic dosn't work but the mic on the device is active as is the speaker
has anyone else had this with 2005?
have hard reset and re loaded 2005 but without success
hmm its working again.....
this is wierd!
headset battery was low yesterday so it may be to do with that. will keep checking and see if i can spot a pattern

Hermes Bluetooth - Fiat Car Speakers

I have searched across all the forums and have noted that the Hermes does not pair with a Cars built in blue-tooth radio allowing sound through the built-in speakers.
Does anyone have an update to this issue or is it just a case that WM6/Hermes and integral vehicle bluetooth simply do not work.
I have tried upteen ROM updates to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have paired the brand new car (Fiat) successfully with a Nokia 5300, XDA Exec (WM6.1) and XDA IIi (WM2003)
Thank you all in anticipation.

Pairing a Hermes with a Bluetooth Car Kit is certainly possible, and indeed routine. I have successfully paired with my two Ford cars, with a variety of WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs.
I merely followed the usual steps to set up a partnership, and ensured that the partnership was set as 'Hands Free' on the final page of the setup process.
So my experience is - no dramas, and I can't see why you are having problems. The car is, after all, just acting as a Bluetooth headset.
Transfer of contacts to your Car Kit is a bit more problamatical, as you have to set up Bluetooth Sim Access Protocol (BT SAP), to give the car, as it says, access to your sim card.
Hi and thanks for the response.
I have no problem pairing the hermes and it reads all my contact information and does everything I would expect save for the sound; I don't get any sound from the cars speakers and yet it all works perfectly with other makes/models of phone/pda.
I suppose the problem would be easier to solve if none of it worked but it does. I watch the car screen as it tells me I am making a phone call from my address book and I can see calls coming in but I cannot use the microphone on the PDA nor hear anything via the pda or the car's speakers. The XDA Exec (WM6) Nokia 5300 and XDAIIi (WM2003) work flawlessly (I borrowed those from my friends).
Thanks once again.

291,
I've had the same problem...
But found this program... From JetWare Mobile - Its not free but there's a trial period to at least see if this fixes your problem...
http://www.jetwaremobile.com
Now My bluetooth on phone and car works flawlessly, including: Music connection (can play Mp3's from phone and contacts loaded to the car stereo) I was even able to get Voice Commander to work through the car stereo but could not get announcements to work (a known issue with VC 1.6)
Look at this post, may help...

Problems with bluetooth headset Jabra BT3030

Hi!
I've got a Jabra BT3030 headset which works great with the phone and media player in my opinion. It's just that I have problems connecting.
First connection went fine, but when the device already is paired with the phone and I attempt to connect again it fails. I get to input a pin code then (standard should be 0000 according to manual), but it just says failed to connect.
If I unpair and pair them again it works (it doesn't ask for pin then).
Saw a fix on the Sony Ericsson forum where someone had this problem for Xperia, and they posted some cab file (Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1.2___BT_Fix.cab), but I'm doubting it's possible to use on my Hero, and if it is, I have no idea how to do that.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
You can't use any .cab's in android. and i think that fix is a registry fix and android doensn't have a fix.
i also noticed that bluetooth doesn't work without errors i hope that it will be fixed with android 2.0 we have to wait. but i didn't had any problems with my BT headset it also pairs automaticly.
Yeah I thought it wouldn't work... Well hoping for a fix.
Same problem here.
Yes I got the same problem with it not reconnecing. You can get it to work evensually by turn you bluetooth off and on afew time but i find it quicker just to unpair then repair each time. But apart for that, it works and sounds great.
Isn't 1234 the correct standard code ?

Thanks Manual is really awesome .. that works
I've also had some strange problems pairing. Try holding the call button in for 6-7 seconds(instead of the 2-3 seconds) till the device shine solid blue and then pair from other device. This is the method I used to pair to the PC. Goodluck
