In case you guys feel brave. I've extracted the BlueTooth stack from a recent i-mate patch to patch a PPC-6601 with success.

If you feel brave you might want to give it a try.

I believe the h6315 ships with BroadCom 1.0.0.1400

These patches could bring it up to 1.0.0.3000 or 1.0.0.3500

For PPC-6601 this fixed DUN, static on some headsets and handling bluetooth headset or PDA going to sleep.

Be sure to backup first and be prepared to hard reset (which is also the best state to start in).

You may find the First Post in this thread useful (But don't use the patches from that Forum, use the ones below)

Build 3100 (Proven to be stable, and fixes DUN)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=2264

Build 3500 (I did not do much testing, I also do not see the memory error we get on PPC-6601 phones. Others with this phone has had good luck with this patch)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=2346

This is a seperate OPTIONAL patch released directly from BroadComm to add support for Stereo bluetooth headsets and bluetooth keyboards. It can be installed with or without the above patches. Not much testing at the time I added this on 1/17/05

I braved it for the "cause"!! Im sick and tired of holding this thing up to my head and im on the phone most of the day. I really a dependable bluetooth headset connected to my 6315.

Here what I have:

HP H6315 - newest one from T-Mobile
Motorola HS820

I preformed a hard reset and went straight for the 3500 patch. I get the error

"not enough program memory.....blah blah blah....preform soft reset"

No amout of soft resets help.

After I install the 3500 patch it will work and pair with my HS820 without hitches. Once a soft reset is preform it takes a crap.

Im gunna restore my backup and try the 3500 without doing a hard reset and see what happens. Then I will try the 3100 patch.

I will keep you posted. I could use all the help you can give. If I had a little more know-how I would feel confident testing the crap out of this till I get a better stable working patch rather than the sh*ty one this thing came with.

Here are the results:

I tried the restore of an old backup and the 3500 patch remained. Although this time it said:

"Sorry! Your Bluetooth liscense has expired. You can not use Bluetooth anymore"

There was no way around this error either. I tried soft resets and tried to turn the bluetooth on but ever time I tried to pair it with my headset the error came up.

I did another hard reset and installed the 3100 patch. This time after installing it reset by itself. After it came back up it had the same error as the 3500 patch. "insufficant program memory".

Im gunna restore my backup and wait for your responce. I have no problems testing these patches out!!

-nate

I can help where I can.

If I had the h6315 phone and want to improve things this is what I would do.

Do exactly the types of things you described.

Look at the thread I referenced above. I listed the tool I used to tweak the CAB file. You can download trial.

A couple things might be happening here:

1) Try removing the registry script, it might not be compatible with your phone. You can also view it and learn a bit.
2) Check out this thread too this is a slightly older Stack but I think someone made some progress on a h6315 (most interesting info here is about the registry, there may be another over there too about what's in registrtry for the BT stack) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14329
3) Check the verizon stack (a zip) http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/attac...&postid=275444 It's possible these patches (from i-mate) are not complete and are relying on components already on the HTC phones. The verizon patch might incude a possible missing file.
4) Try trimming the fat off the kit even further. This is guess work by the names.

Lots of hard reset between experiments.

I also thought I read somewhere of a new patch for the hp phone out. I forget where, something about "3700". Maybe build 3700. Might have been at xda-developers.com

I viewed the thread from xda-dev and no where does it make refference to the 6315. I also reviewed the the other threads and tried some thing but with no avail.



I did though download the trail version and open the 3500 patch. I removed the reg entries for the software reffering to HTC. Its quite a bit over my head. I have no idea what to "tweak". Any suggestions?

I then reinstalled the 3500 and I still get the same error as last time.

-nate

The 3500 patch is more agressive and more specific to imate phone changes and files. Try the 3100 patch I posted and remove the whole registry file.

Hard reset.

Don't turn on BT.

Apply patch.

Soft reset.

Cross your fingers.

Don't restore any backups.

Wow, you guys are brave.

I'm pretty good with a bowstaff.

Here are the results:

Deleted the Reg entries and Reg files and installed the 3500 patch.

i get the error: "not enough memory...blah blah blah"

Deleted the Reg entries and Reg files and installed the 3100 patch.

I get the same error but this time it also says:

"Bluetooth liscense has expired"

and it turns off my bluetooth. I also decided to remove everything in the Reg except for the general information with the registration key for bluetooth. I thought maybe this would solve the expired bluetooth error. no luck though!


So far T-mobile hasnt released an update for the software and HP knows of the mass problems with it.

I have the Motorola HS820 and if it goes on standby it will lose connection with the 6315 causinga soft reset in order to pair the device again.

Very annoying



Any idea what I should try next? If you have time maybe you could tweak it for me. Im sorry but I've tried everything I know how. I will certainly test something if anyone can work up a new one.

Sounds like 3100 patch did at least partially try to start up, but we need to find a way around that license thing.

It could be in the OS checking the version.

You did hard reset in between patch tests, correct?

I'd be willing to play around with it, if I had a phone. I'm in MA

If your willing to muster somthing you think might work ill try it. At this point im willing to pay you for it.

Yes, I did a hard reset between patches.

let me know

-nate

I would not take money because I could not predict the results.

I have a friend with one he might lend me.

I'm sure there will be hacker along soon that will get that phone working if HP/T-Mobile doesn't.

If you are willing to spend Money you might consider switching to the i-Mate PDA2K which has the same features as the HP.

It is not without bluetooth problems but I think it's a leap better than the HP.

I got build 3100 working on a H6315

I removed the registry script and BTTrayCE.exe

I tested it with a HS820. Reconnecting from sleep seems to work.
Little flakely to pair it. I could not Pair it at all without patching it with 3100.

I will post a link here in a little while after more testing.

Sorry www.xda-developers.com is down which is where I usually upload to. I'll try in the morning. Or I can email it to one of you brave folks.

Note that I tested on a Hard-Reset H6315 with HS820.

I had tried build 3500 and had issues. 3500 seems to have some issues on lots of phones even the one it was designed for.

YOU ARE MY HERO!!

IF THIS WORKS IM SENDING SOME MONEY!!

Please email to:

nathan@skifstad.com

Im gunna stay up late tonight and wait so hopefully your still online.

Again - I thank you

-nate

Sent it.

What is the purpose of this patch?

It brings you from Bluetooth Version 1.0.0.1400 to version 1.0.0.3100.

It fixes dialup networking over bluetooth (I never got it to work with my thinkpad t41 and it works now). But Some web pages would not load. www.msn.com loads fine. But www.pdaphonehome.com does not. I don't think this has to do with patch. It's a wap/proxy/gateway configuration thing.

It also handles keeping headset paired when the phone and headset go to sleep.

No promises but it looks like an improvement to me.

I need to return the phone this morning to it's eager owner.

mswlogo, you say this fixes the bluetooth with your thinkpad T41. I experience the same issue with my T40. I would love to try the modified patch you built. Would you mind emailing it to me, if it works I will upload it to my website and put a link in this thread for others.

I wish HP or Tmo would take some ownership over this pile of crap phone. I'm about ready to buy an XDA IIs because I can't do anything useful with my h6315. If I make the leap, HP will never get my business again. I'm sick and tired of this pda not working.

Email: paladin27@gmail.com

Pse send me the patch.
