Is it me or are o2 Selling us XDA IIs with trial bluetooth? - Networking

My XDA IIs keeps saying blutooth licence has expired! and I searched for devices and it found none when my mate found 20+ on his mobile!??!?!? If its gunna cost me surely its easy to uninstall??? or is this just a **** up somewhere?

Hi
This is a known issue. Later versions of the bluetooth stack for the blue angel have fixed this, but O2 are dragging their heels in releasing this for the XDA IIs. Typical....
Some people have reported success in installing the IMATE bluetooth update 3500 onto XDA IIs devices. I have not tried this. Check the Blue Angel forums for more info.

Theres a O2 release V3500 ovet at http://tekguru.co.uk/
This fixed the problem for me. Although it did screw up the screen display untill i chose a different today screen and then changed it back again so no big problem.

Advice needed: Moving from XDA II to JAM

As I'm giving up from getting my Xda II up to the task of BT Syncing AND BT handsfree, I ordered an i-mate Jam from Expansys.
As my order is on backlog due to lack of stock (more than 3 weeks now) I'm having time to wonder about my "incoming" new toy.
So I have a few questions for the more "JAM" experience users:
:?:
1.- Is BT operational with HandsFree devices? I mean carkits and the like.
2.- Is the BT stack having problems to ActiveSync with Win XP SP2?
3.- Any rumours about the new 2005 version? When will I-mate ship it?
4.- Are the most recent units coming with the flaws fixed? I read about bad sound, blurry pictures, a patched radio protocol, etc.
5.- Is any application known by not running on the JAM?
Thanks for commenting, I'll post my findings when my unit arrives.
BTW does anyone need a perfectly working XDAII?
:wink:
No help?
Ok, Should I admit there are not any problems around? Is anyone out there moved from XDA-II willing to help?
Thanks.
:wink: :?:
Great Move.
I changed my XDAII for a Jam and I'm extremely happy :lol:
No sound issues also bluetooth headset Motorola 810 connects fine. Camera is not too good but I guess thats the only flaw.

Hi zedeff! Thanks for info!
Just wondering: Is anyone using a BT carkit? Since this is a common problem with XDA II, I'm a bit worried about.
:wink: :?:
considering a switch
i'm quite happy with my xdaII except that i find it bulky.. i'm seriously thinking of getting the xdaII mini (aka magician). any comments? bad reviews? suggestions?
btw, i'm looking for a fair market where i can sell my xdaII here in manila in case i do decide to buy the mini. any ideas? :wink:
Me too!
I'm also considering moving from the XDA2. My XDA2 has been great although not without one or two issues (getting BT working with a GPS receiver - not for the newbies!). I was considering the XDA2s and XDA2i but have read about issues with both. Now the XDA2 mini looks fantastic as I often wish I had a smaller phone without sacrificing the features. Has anyone else taken the plunge?

Possible upgrade to WM5?

I have been looking on ebay and have seen an upgrade that might work ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6445067715&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1) item number 6445067715. Although the auction doesnt say anything about any specific device I emailed the seller asking if it will work on a XDA 2i and got the following response:
Hi, this is for Smartphones and Pda's that have windows already installed on
them and the pda's must have a camera button on them, thanks mjase
Any ideas if this is right and would work on the XDA 2i? Although I dont have one yet I am looking at getting one (my old IPAQ 2210 screen stopped working a week ago) and although I have a Sony Ericsson s700i I thought it would be nice to get everything under one device - can anyone tell me if the camera on the XDA 2i takes better pictures than the Sony Ericsson s700i?
thanks

there's no WM5 for XDA 2i yet!
I understand there is no official update yet but wondered if aynyone has tried to use these updates and if no one has then purhaps it is a way of moving forward
the updates is for Smartphone not Pocket PC!!!
thounds of us are like you too, tried waiting for WM5 for Alpine.

O2 XDA Mini S and Motorola HT-820?

Hi,
Just got a new o2 xda mini s, can you guys help me with a few things?
Im trying to set it up with the motorola ht-820, bluetooth headphones, i believe this requires a2dp? Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Ive seen a few hacks around that update the bluetooth on the xda, however cant seem to get these to work!
Many sites claim the xda mini s is compatible? Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ed
Not yet. Microsofts AKU2 update will apparntly include A2DP but it won't be around from OEMs untill march as I read it...
(I too have a wizard and a pari of HT820's)

New XDA Exec ROM (AKU2) & Phonebook sync?

Hi everyone, I've been using this site for a while to help me through the occasional nightmare that is XDA Exec ownership... so thanks for your help so far.
I've just applied the new XDA Exec ROM today with AKU2 and I was under the impression there would be a Bluetooth phonebook sync profile now. Am I wrong?
I have a Sony Ericsson HCB-700 car kit with a phonebook button which is supposed to read the contacts list via a SIM Access profile of some sort.
Has anyone got this working? It sounds different to the Parrot solution where the contacts are pushed to the carkit, this appears to be direct-access by the carkit.
The only article I found here was this, but no solution yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37787
Any ideas?
Now this is stupid...
Found this
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2762
So Sim Access profile was available under AKU 1.1 for some phones, but the XDA Exec never had the build number greater than 14402.
Now with AKU2 we still don't have it? How crazy is that?
Am I missing something? Is is Microsoft or O2 that need a good kicking? :roll:
M$ have planned a WM5 SE (Second Edition). Perhaps it will be addressed in this update of WM5.
See here: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=220079
I have a parrot 3100 & it works for me every time it connects it syncs withthe exec.

XDA Exec & Parrot CK3100

I've been using my XDA Exec with a Parrot CK3100 for a while now without any real issues.
However, recently one of them keeps losing the pairing and both use non-volatile ram. Nothing has changed on the Exec and certainly no new apps installed on it.
Anyone else comes across this?
I was thinking maybe its a good time to update the rom on the XDA - whats the latest and greatest rom available?
