Have anybody found a better BT solution that the current ROM has? In particular, PAN and FTP profiles are much appreciated.
I see no Widcomm drivers yet.. but what about Bluesoleil?

Hello,
For one week now, I'm trying to connect my MDA II with a bluetooth carkit. This doesn't work 'till now. The main reason is the missing profile in the bluetooth driver. The MDA supports a lot of profiles, but not the handsfree or cordless tephony profile, wich is needed to communicate to carkits (and more and more headsets too).
Are there more people having this problem and does anybody know if there is an update of the bluetooth driver available?

The MDA II does not support the handsfree profile, and there is no add-on software that provides this functionality.
However, there are some handsfree sets that can use the headset profile (which is implemented in the MDA II). An example is the Parrot handsfree unit.
If your handsfree set does not support the headset profile, I'm afraid you're out of luck...
Cheers

Look at this site. Its in german. This link is recommended by Royaltek in it's FAQ, then the Royaltek BlueGPSMouse BT 3000 doesnt work with the Royaltek-Driver and MDA. I installed the driver from this site on my MDA II and now I have the contact with the mouse. At first, uninstall the old driver!

The software on this site implements a proper serial profile. It doesn't help with handsfree at all, unfortunately.

Daniel (and Widder),
Thx very much for your replies. I've already have contact with T-Mobile Netherlands with the question to deliver a driver for the handsfree profile. I'm still waiting on a reply.
The Parrot is indeed supporting both profiles. I will try the CK 3000. Do you have experience with this unit?

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.

also make sure that the bluetooth in your PC/PPC support PAN
the ms bluetooth stack dont support pan
the vidcomm does
I was wondering if anyone had found a way to update the crappy MS Bluetooth stack on the Mogul to the Broadcom one? I am having a lot of trouble with the bluetooth after updating to the 3.35 ROM. It keeps shutting off and it didn't on the 3.09 ROM I had before. I thought that maybe getting rid of the MS stack in favor of the Broadcom one might do the trick. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have tried several different .cab files, one for the Dell Axiom and one for the Hermes, but neither have worked right. I have also tried all of the bluetooth registry tweaks I could find and nothing helps. ANY help on this topic would be greatly appreciated!
Has there been a solution to this? The BT shutting off randomly is driving me nuts.
bump bump!
is there a solution to install Widcomm Bt Stack on herald? I want bluetooth PAN client functionality.
Thank you very much.
