bluetooth cant see other devices and viceversa - Touch HD General

hi all
i just bought a touch HD, its my first WM device and i have some problems with it
one if it is the bluetooth that dosent work, or i dont know how to configure it
i cant find other devices and also other cant see it
i tried before(SPL 1.14) and after i put miri ROM(SPL 1.57)
is there a solution to this?

Without mening to offend, but have you gone into Connections, Bluetooth and enabled the device to be seen?

offcourse
but the thing is i cant find others as well
do i need(or can) to install something? like a driver?

You shouldn't need anything extra.
So, not only is bluetooth turned on, but it is also set to allow the devices to be seen?
What type of device(s) are you trying to connect to?
Can you tell us the main steps you are taking when trying to establish a connection?

Is this how you are doing it?
Click to watch video

yes i selected the "make my phone visible.." and turned on my bluetooth just like on the video
im trying to connect to a regular phone( samsung d880 and SE k800)

well, you shouldn't need any other program or driver. What ROM do you have?
If you want, you can try using this program (DrYar-Bluetooth v1.6) and see if it works. Can't promise anything, but you can give it a shot.
Download it at the bottom of this post.

im using miri V16 WM6.5
but it didnt worked before with stock ROM
im gonna tryu and see if it workes with other kind of devices

looks like its started to go
i think drYAR bluetooth did the trick
thx for the help
the touchflo interface for bluetooth dosent work(it dosent find other devices) but the WM one(in the advanced) does strange but i can live with it

Hmm, okay. I guess it's sort of a "half solution". Still annoying that touchflo won't do it, but I'm glad you can at least use bluetooth via other methods.

Hi all I would like to get this application working but it does not look like the test application works on our XDA's?? :-( It is saying somthing about needing the WIDCOMM drivers.... Any idea if there is an esay and safe way to get this utility working?
Hear is the web address of where you can find the application:
http://www.buzzone.net/eng/index.html
Thanks guys
Just install the latest Widcomm PPCPE drivers in "Hacking It"
Thanks for the reply rahjinoh, I will give that a go, I did see somthing about Widcomm drivers but when i looked into that option it seemed very complicated and a number of people where having problems with the XDA II with it would I be correct in saying that?
I'm a little scared to install it if its going to cause me any problems as I use a Bluetooth GPS (with Destinator 3) as well as the O2 Bluetooth headset (The new one, works like a charm)... I use both these bluetooth devices on a daily basis and cant affort them to go down.
Any idea if I will run into any problems if I install this Widcomm driver?
How does it work?
Do I have 2 bluetooth drivers installed then? both MS and Widcomm?
Sorry for all the questions would like to try and find out if it is a simple process or if I could run into problems....
Many thanks!
The Widcomm works with everything EXCEPT headsets.
The GPS would work with Widcomm but not the O2 headset, not yet at least.
Both the stacks will coexists and you can turn on 1 at a time.
I use that stack as well, some people get the "Cannot initialise bluetooth hardware" once in a while, but mine's fine.
I used the Widcomm with Widcomm related software, otherwise, my MS Bluetooth stack is on most of the time.
I use the MS one for my Motorola Headset and Bluetooth GPS, and the Widcomm one for other purposes, like BuzzOne
just remember that you can only enable 1 stack at a time
thanks for the reply rahjinoh
This sounds like a lot of messing around unfortunatly, I wish bluetooth would come up with some starndards and stop stuffing around so much, its going to die in the long run if they don't I recon. I've read that the makers of bluetooth have not stoped any research and devolopment with the technology (Sony/Ericson) this does not seem to be a good step but I don't blame them really as the software side of things is a compleat MESS!!!
Is Microsoft going to be fixing up there drivers? or has the problems been fixed in the Newer Windows 2003 SE Phone Edition? (Which I hope is going to be comming out for our XDA II's some time soon??)...
Cheers!!!
Any more news any one? any ideas what I can do to get my Bluetooth GPS, Head Set and Software Programs to work with ease and no problems?
Still no news??? ANY ONE???
Has any one mannaged to find an easy way to get this program working as yet?
still no news or any ways to get this software working is there? I need a solution that will work with my Bluetooth GPS (and current software, Destinator 3), Bluetooth Headset as well as this program...
Any thoughts any one?
Might want to read this...

Thanks for the reply Nighthawk...
I have seen that post before, but what I am worried about is that I've noticed that people on XDA-Forum has posted that you cannot use your Bluetooth Headset if you don't use the MS Stack? Is this correct?
I use a Bluetooth - GPS, Headset and software... Will I have any problems with these?

Thanks for the reply maani_ch, great advice, only 1 question... If I install these drivers. Do you know if I can still use my Bluetooth GPS with my Bluetooth Heatset at the same time as I do at the moment???
As well as both of them working of course!
CHEERS!
Good question Guest, thats exactualy what I would like to konw, I'm a little scared to install stuff on my XDA now days as in the past I've learned that sometimes things just stop working after installing some applications and it's hard to find out what it is (as it is normaly combinations of things)... As I use it for work it's hard to afford any down time with my phone...
Any answers to the previous questions as to how it would work with Bluetooth GPS and Bluetooth Head set at the same time?
SSA connection is problem...Can any 1 help with a solution?

Go to your extended ROM >>> see if there is a BT.cab there, and of so run it. Otherwise you may have to reflash the ROM. Maybe others will advise differently.
Nope...that aint there... i searched a few extended rom compilations but couldnt find any BT.cab or similiar cab

Given we are using the same ROM version (Sin's merged), then I think the drivers are there but it sounds as thought the icon (BT_Icon.cab in the ROM) may be missing. What you could do is download BTH Tools v.1010 from XDA-Developers ... I found it yesterday by doing a search. This is installed from a PC and may help you get it going. It is not a BT engine, merely a means of activating/deactivating BT and it shows which battery is in use as well.
I have a weird one as well in that my BT works well in connecting with a laptop computer, but when I use it with a Plantronics M3000 BT earpiece, I have to re-do the connection the hard way (i.e., pair the damn thing) after every time the XDA II is suspended. I don't think it is the Plantronics device (which is a piece of ****e in my experience) alone .... will sort it even if I have to buy a better BT earpiece. Maybe others have some advice??

VERY Noobish IrDA Problem

Ermm this is a very stupid question, but I appear not to be able to send recieve stuff with my brand new Hermes. If a file is selected in the File Explorer and 'Beam' is selected, then the BT search works fine, but the usual Align IR port line doesnt even appear :S
Furthermore, the IR LED doesnt turn on (I checked by watching through another phone camera, which can 'see' IR turn on)?
I cannot recieve files either, it would appear, despite beam being enabled in the communications screen and the 'accept incoming beams': nothing happens, other phones can't find the device...?
Ive searched IrDA problems, but found nothing, can anyone suggest an easy way to test (I realise this is a very noobish problem, so thanks for the time spent reading this)?
PS I am running this rom:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_h...ermes_rom_wm6_1_wwe_s64_v2_download_2057.html
this is a new kind of problem and the thing is not everybody is using IR for their communication connection. IR is slower than bluetooth so no body bother for it. Even I have used only 5 times (may be) in two years for business card to some non bluetooth handsets
Although IR is not very popular now, I still use IR function very frequently. I use it to transfer small file to my PC which has no bluetooth function built-in, but has an IR port on it.I like the feeling of "everything always be connected".
Back to the title, you could try two things.
1) Check the settings->connection->wireless send/receive( I don't know the exact name on your phone, I use Chinese version, the english name of it is just my guess ), the check box in it should be checked.
2) In wireless manager, in its setting there is also an controlling stuff related to wireless connection, check it ,and make it appear in the manager main screen, then you can turn it on.
You can try above two thing first.

just to help......its called settings->connection->beam in english
Actually I have a similar problem, though I have an Atom.
Tried flashing, didn't work for me. Guess it is a hardware problem.
When I cooked my polish rom there was an option normaly enable witch turn of the irda port. When I turn it of the irda works fine. Unfortunetly my present rom WM6.1 wasn't cooked and irda is turn off. Could somebody shaw me way to turn it on? THX.

Htc Should Update Hermes Roms!

Today I was in this computer where clients are able to touch and test the equipments. I went to the PDA section and I tested the bluetooth menus and options available on HTC touch cruise and another one I dont recall (p34 something). I was surprized to see an option on the bluetooth menu which said "Time until BT goes invisible". And then a drop down list from where u could choose from none (always active) until a couple of hours. This said I wonder why cant they put an option like that on hermes? I mean, everytime I go into suspend mode the bluetooth goes invisible and only my headset can find the PDA! Hermes is an HTC best seller I cant see why they dont support it anymore, it's such a powerful device
We only need a short program for this. I think Dr. Yaar Bluetooth is being popular on the forum. Well I never give it a try but surely we can do such type of function to work.

Haven't tried it myself, but it seems like it may be what you're looking for.
the problem with most bt togglers out there is that htc changed the bt stack to the widcomm stack instaed of the wm stack because of that ur gonna need to find someone with the time to deconstruct the wdicomm bt stack in order to get a toggler fot the bt on the tp2 hope that helps answer ur question
This one will work

I can agree on that! This works just fine. Offcourse it's handy to set one of the softkeys to this program to turn bluetooth on or off if you use it a lot.
