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?

Hi Members,
I have just joined the site and this is my first post to try and find a solution to the most annoying frustrating problem im having. I am trying to connect a o2 XDA Mini to my laptop via bluetooth over a belkin dongle. My system only shows com port 4 then 9 12 etc. I have tried using 4 many times. Both the phone and the pc partner ok, but then when i try to sync from the handset the PDA try's to partnet again and will not connect. I have tried other ports, no good! same result. I then searched google extensivly and tried installing other stacks Widcomm, blue soleil etc as i aslo have cards and dongles for those, still no joy. Is the phone broken? Well my wife has the same make and model. Her one wouldnt connect either!! whats the problem with this phone/PDA. Do you have to be a rocket scientist to use BT or what. I visited other sites and forums and posed the question there. Apart from one reply it appears no one seems to know either way. Any help or guides other than the outdates geekzone(2004) would be most appreciated as i think those guides were not created for WM5 systems lol
Thank you and fingers crossed lol

I've always had problems syncing over bluetooth.
I dont have a WM2005 device, but my XDA mini exhibits the same problems.
I did get my xda to sync through bluetooth on my windows computer, but that was using bluesoeil. Strange thing was, after i switched stacks to the normal windows one, when i successfully sync'ed through bluesoeil, it WORKED!!
A hard reset has happened since then and im plagued with problems.
If you use a mac and a PC like me, i found it very easy to sync my xda mini through bluetooth with a mac. (provided you have buy the software).
If you search even harder through google, theres a page i came across which shows you, through windows cmd line, delete ports and free some up. Havent tried it tho.
Anyways goodluck, try hard resetting and starting fresh if you wanna sync wirelessly that bad.
Try this
Try this , it may work for you. Also I found that XP SP2 is needed if you wnt to sync via BT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=246847
Good luck
Ciao
works perfectly for me using different versions of vidcomm on the belkin and logitech dongles i have on various computers
on the pda i just choose the IMSync or whatever it's called as profile
and start activesync on the pda click on sync over bluetooth and it does
Heres something i found...
http://help.lockergnome.com/general/Activesync-Port-Availability-Bluetooth-ftopict26563.html
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315539
thats how to delete ghost ports from your system.
I got everything NEARLY set up, i cant set a outgoing port!.
I even hard reseted, still no luck, i think i just need to set a outgoing port to get this to work.
whitemoo.
ok...after restoring my backup from the hard reset, i rebooted the phone.
Then i got side tracked and went on the XDA-developers wiki.
Seeing that 'set up your own bluetooth personal network' article, i decided to set it up.
Figuring out that the original bluetooth stack is worthless, i switched to bluesoeil and rebooted.
Bluesoeil did not work for some reason, and couldnt find my bluetooth hardware, so rebooted the phone with the normal stack.
I went into the normal stack that came with my phone, and mysteriously, i could set outgoing ports!
I set the port my outgoing port to comm0 and tried to sync.
AND IT WORKED!!...its finally syncing!
Oh btw, i found this file in my ext rom: called 'default_BT_com_port0.cab' i installed it and it allowed me to set comm0 in the normal staCK. Previously before i installed that cab, i couldnt see ANY avalible com ports to set.
YAY!...whitemoo.
Hi
Thanks for the advise there it was appreciated. I have tried the different bluetooth devices two doggles and a card all with widcomm and microsoft drivers all have not worked blue soleil wouldnt find a serial port on my phone only dUN and Push obex. I have spent ages on this now i figured it just a worhless wm5 smartphone with a keboard.. oh MS if your listening re XDA Mini factor it in to the guidebook how to sync to an everyday computer to bluetooth. You provide the function but it dont work.. crapper ive had it with this overated smartphone with a slide out keyboard. worse thing is how much i paid for it. what a rip off!! I could get an old C500 WM2003 to BT sync on all three of these BT dongle/card.
Oh well thx.. Guys glad you got a result with yours bravo' lol
Many thanks for the input.

Hi again,
I have tried to contact o2 re this matter they tell me it cant be done via activesync and bluetooth. Has any one else managed to sync an XDA min via activesync to there computer. I am running xp pro SP2, Activesync Ver. 4.1 of the cover disc with the phone. I downloaded 4.2 and 4.5Beta to make sure none work. Google searches reveal nothin g on the subject. The model i appear to have is the WIZA200 version with WM5 rom version 5.1.195 (build 14847.2.0.0).
Any clues folks
thanks.

Can anyone help me please with this problem?

hi,
i have just got this phone X1 and i can not seem to get the bluetooth to work.
the phone can see other phones and i paired it to a few but when i tryed to
send something all i get is 'cannot connect'...
the phone is straight out of the box i have not done anything to it.
am i missing something...
can someone help me please...
thanks...
anybody...
please...
Might not be of any help but ... I had a similar problem but I found it was caused by an application called phonealarm ... if your using this you need to activate irda (even though theres no irda on the phone - sounds a bit odd but it worked after!)
... if not then I'm not sure.
ok then how do i do that then.
i have only had the phone a few days and am still figuring things out.
thanks...
Sorry this is probably a bit late but this is a forum post on the PocketMax (Phonealarm) website that discusses the same issue ... Bluetooth not receiving files
The setting your looking for is activate ir and its located within the profiles menus
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 guys,
I'm a complete noob on Android since I've bought a new X5, my first android, only yesterday. I came from a Nokia/Blackberry world so the differences are huge.
I have a couple of fundamental needs on a phone witch are bluetooth connectivity and Synchronization with Outlook. Both of these options are possible as far as I can understand with this phone but they are not working.
The bluetooth pairs with other devices but does not connect. I've tried car hands free, other phones and my laptop. it says paired but not connected.
The Hi Suite software requests me to install the usb drivers but the ones that come with the phone have a \adb_driver\android_winusb.inf that I cannot install because it returns an error when I try to right click-install. I'm running W7 Pro 64bit SP1.
Problem solved.... just a mater of turning usb debug on in Aplication/development phone options. One to go
Finally is there any tutorial for ROM updates in this forum?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance,
Miguel
In regards to BT, you have to retry when it says paired but not connected.
If you wanna try different Roms, this is probably the best guide:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/341011-ultimate-guide-to-the-huawei-u8800/
And this is probably the best source of stock Roms:
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8800
Good luck!
PS: With tens of Roms I've tried, the BT connectivity is still not great on my X5.
I've managed to connect the phone to the car hands free after about 20 attempts of pairing/unpairing ... I can't connect with the PC dough. Seems that the bluetooth stack of this phone sucks. Is there any BT alternative?
Thanks for you assistance .

I agree, BT sucks and so far none of the Roms have overcome that problem.
