Bluetooth Chat with: BuZZone

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?

easiest way to configure internet bluetoothsharing
get widcom drivers from this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=1436
then put all these files in your pocket pc windows main folder
\Windows.
go to file explorer of your pocket pc and extract these thre which you downloaded or run these files from your pocket pc..
now your bluetoth manager is installed. then just go to this site
and learn step by step to configure your pocket pc for intenet connection sharing with your desktop

i think its the easiest way to do in min not hours
best regards for all my brothers.

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?

HTC Touch: only muted calls with Becker Cascade navigation system

Hi guys,
I have searched up and down this forum and other forums, some problems get close but none of them hits the spot.
I am using an HTC Touch with Windows Mobile 6 Professional, Version: CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) and link it via Bluetooth with the car navigation system Becker Cascade 7944.
The link is established but calls are muted. Becker had this problem with some other phone models too and brought out an update version 3.7.
Now the calls are not muted anymore, but the sound is distorted. It sounds like the loudspeaker is broken. In short: not usable.
I posted this problem with Becker and after the update version 3.7 they sent me this mail (translated from German):
Dear xxxxxxxxx,
the System-Software 3.7 was sent to a lot of customers as update. Only
positive results came from this and we did receive no negative replies or
complaints except for two models from HTC.
Please contact the manufacturer of the mobile device and ask for a
possible software update.
We regret we can’t give you any other answer.
Sincerely

Then I sent a fax to HTC Europe headquarters asking them for support and /or a solution. Nothing heard from them.
I then sent a fax with the HTC Europe headquarters fax attached to the Chairman of HTC (see www.htc.com) in Taiwan. Same result, no reply!
In the french forum www.planete-htc.com they have a post that the CAB-file WM6_BT_DUN.cab could solve the problem. I have not installed this file yet, since I don't know what it does or if it solves the problem.
Could it be that HTC uses a different bluetooth stack or CODEC-files?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot

Hi!
I've got the same problem with an other phone from HTC (MDA Vario 3 from T-Mobile) and my Becker Cascade. Spoke with Becker, no solution in sight. They said I've to talk with the producer of my mobile ..... grrr.
Bye the way, if you make a call and after being connected with the other side you can press "private" in the options menu to give the call back to the phone. Then again press "private" in the options menu and you have a clear connection without distortion!
Bye, Peter (Germany)
PS: Tried the CAB-file, no change

hi @ all I have the same problem with a becker Casscade pro and Firmware 3.61 and - now - 3.70.
This problems is only with HTC devices that have installed Windows mobile 6, (Wings, Kaiser, Touch..) with the older ones like T-Mobile Vario and Windows Mobile 5 it works fine.
by the way the same problem, the other side hear no sound from you, and you hear the other scrambled
and it is not depend to use Sim access profile or normal earphone profile.
maybe i think, the Becker car radios are not longer supported from the manufactur..
the right way is, to change the bluetooth stack on the HTC devices. there are some parameters between mobile and bluetooth called EHR
and this parameters are wrong. maybe by HTC configuration or Becker
A Nokia E61i and many other WM5 devices works well with Becker casscade pro.
i can try tomorrrow some AT&T Models with windows mobile 6 (Samsung and some other) maybe they works...

soon, now i test a becker casscade with a samsung shg 6xx smartphone with WM6.
BT Profile works very well with casscade 3.70 firmware.
so it´s a problem of all actually HTC devices with WM6 i think.
maybe we should change the BT Stack was inatlled as default...

Hi joy.d,
I thought of the same solution.
I tried one of ROM cooking guys in this forum about how to change the BT software, but no reply.
Do you know how to change the BT stack on the HTC?
By the way I am using the HTC with the Jabra BT320s and the Plantronics Discovery 640X. Both work well.
And the Cascade worked and works with all other phones I know of. There is a forum in Germany for the Cascade and they report only problems with the HTC.
Also, some in this forum have reported BT problems with the HTC Touch.
So, please let me know if the BT software upgrade/change works.
Take care
baucis99

hmm.. i have no time to cook my own rom with fixed bluetooth drivers. (maybe the actually bt version from broadcom, better knows as widcomm stack works well) we think in our company to change from htc to other manufactor, the bt problems not the only one problems ;-)
but if i found somethink i will tell you please let me know if you find something.
p.s. the BT update for htc kaiser dont change or helps.
maybe becker has a problem with her integration of bluetooth.. with the most bluetooth headsets works the htc devices. (i test over 20 different BT Headsets with HTC devices, but the most with WM5)

Same problems
I have the same problems. HTC Mobile 6 with Becker Cascade. To work around this issue, press [Private] in the [Options]Menu, once in a call, and then return back following the same keysequence.
According to the User Manual, Becker only supports the bluetooth HFP1.0 profile...

Hmm, and the Windows Mobile 6 Devices supports:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
HFP1.0 (Hands-Free Profile)
HSP (Headset Profile)
It´s work with a Samsung blackjack, so i think the Problem is by the provided BT Stack from HTC..

Headset profile
When the connection to the phone is made, a headset icon appears in the upper homescreen. It seems that the headsetprofile is initially used. When you execute the private workaround, the phone switches to handsfree...

hmm, i tried it with this private funktion, but the quality of sound is not really good or better. is not a really funtional workaround. I have test the Becker cascade now with an Asus P750 Phone, and it works well too..
i think it is a HTC Problem.

Cascade Pro + HTC Kaiser
Hi Guys
I am experiencing exactly the same problem with my HTC Kaiser and Becker Cascade Pro 7941. It really makes you upset when no one helps you, becker says its handset manufacturer's fault and HTC dont even bother to reply.

yes, that´s sad. if you found a solutions let it know us, in germany, there are some more users with exactly same problem. :-(

Hi... not 100% related, but I have an HTC VOX and that works fine with the Becker High Speed Pro 7945 (same software as the Cascade) which I recently flashed to v3.6. The Becker works fine with 2 other HTC phones that I have, SP5 and SDA. The only difference is that the VOX actually displays the signal strength bars on the Becker bottom RH corner...
NOT all roses I am afraid as since I flashed my Becker, I lost ALL navigation functions..... but all other functions including the phone still work...

hi fwd, but your Fox and the other devices is running with Windows mobile 5, right?
With WM5 all devices from HTC works fine with becker

Hmm... sad..

Yes joy.d, the VOX is the HTC S710... sorry should have mentioned that earlier - it is easier just to refer to it as the VOX

There are two common BlueTooth stacks in use. The Widcomm/Braodcom one and the Microsoft one. An app that is built again one stack will not work with the other.
Sounds like BlueXard requires the MS one. I was under the impression that the TP2 had the MS stack (most HTC devices do) but maybe it uses the other stack.
Your only hope is to change the stack and this didn't used to be feasible. Maybe you can find a ROM that does use the MS stack and flash to that.

Bluetooth Serial Port behavior

I'm using Bluetooth serial communication. With the new HD2, HTC shipped their own BT stack. Every time I open the serial port, a popup appears to choose the desiered remote serial port. I never got this on my old wm phones. The port is already mapped in the HTC BT software. Why is it asking every time I open the port? Has anybody noticed this too. And is there any workaround for automate this, like it was in the good old MS BT stack?
Please have a look at the attached screenshot.

anybody has an idea?

Hi,
I got the same problem, everytime I start iGO8 witch wants to connect my TMC receiver the popup appears. very annoying. Did you ever solve the problem?
TIA
Cheers

Same problem here. I sent a request to the HTC support today. Damn WIDCOMM Bluetooth-Stack.

No, I didn't found a solution.
I don't think thats a Widcom stack.

I got a reply from the HTC Support today. They told me that this behavior is windows mobile specific.
I thought a bit about the problem. If we knew where the routine is which displays the window, we would be able to modify it to always use comN and close the window. Does anyone have a clue where we could find it?

I think that HTC isn't telling us the truth. I own serveral WM devices. They all come with the MS bluetooth stack and none of them had this popup screen. I heared that HTC build their own BT stack.

Hmmm that is nice... i try to contact by telephone people from HTC CZ Support today, to find solution with them, expect that they will help. in about information in BTstack is not described who is manufacturer.

The HD2 has the Widcomm (later called Broadcom) stack.
I had a small problem with my foldable bluetooth keyboard, but that has to do with the driver of the BT keyboard.
Yesterday I paired a car kit (some chinese mp3/without any problem. Not tried to pair other devices yet.

i think that this is problem of some dynamic library that BT is using. btw. what is version of your bt? i got Ver. 1.9.3 bulid 500 HCI ver 4.168 and LMP ver. 4.16919. So i asked HTC second time for help with this. will see

I have got the same BT Version.
Did HTC respond to your question?
If this all doesn't help us, i will write a program which connects tmc and starts navigation aftwards. I am trying to get information on this bluetooth programming stuff.

hmmm not yet will see tomorrow

Same version here.

so HTC replayed! nice now we know that they know, hope that this is start how to solve this problem. unfortunately how i know these companies, it will be not early :-(
Dear Ondrej, Thank you for contacting us. In regards to the pop up message on HTC HD2: It is not possible to remove this pop-up (We don't support editing the registry it will breach your warranty). I will escalate the issue to the HTC Head office. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Bo K

Rom with microsoft bluetooth stack??

Is anyone cooking a rom for the T-mobile HD2 that uses the Microsoft bluetooth stack instead of widcomm. I am looking to see if Microsoft Voioce Command will work properly with this stack.

yes. it would be nice to use my by keyboard and mouse again. LOL.

Subscribing to this thread, too...

Very Unhappy
I could not wait for the HD2 to be released on Tmobile. I have been with them for almost 9 years. I thought finally I can use their 3G network with the HD2. The last thing I expected was for the basic functions of the phone to not work. The phone does so much and is very advanced yet the basic bluetooth functions have been left out. I have spoken with both Tmobile and higher level support at HTC and honestly neither is going to do anything about the bluetooth support on this phone.

Well, if this is true, then it's becoming more and more clear that this is not something they just forgot to integrate - they omitted it on purpose, like the second camera (the second big fauxpas for a "high end phone"!), in order to have something left they can put into HD3 which makes people buy a new device...
I'm still wondering about the roms though - on PC I used to fight with BT stacks years ago. But it as always possible to install a different one, no matter what BT dongle I was using. Is it definitely impossible to create a rom with another stack? Is the stack somehow hard coded into the hardware?

Great question...I'm hoping there is an answer.

This would be so great if anyone could make my bt mouse running again on HD2. May be there could be a sourgeforce app or a MS BT stack cracked HD2-Rom.
If I only could use my BT mouse on HD2, may be in 2012 on WM8? Would be so nice for RDP, Virtual Machines, Gaming...
Someone tried on HD2 android with blueinput? Cannot get my BT working Android Running since my new Radio semms not to fit, will test later... I changed the BT working Android to the Phone working Android that is running fine on new Radio...
