Are you using WinCE CAB Manager?

Yes, I know 3900 has been out, but this looks like a newer version. File names are different. This is 3900 B.

Yes, WinCE CAB Manager, changing min/max don't make a difference What makes a difference is max os build -536870912 (like in BT3900.CAB.)

Swap, I created BT3900_B.CAB. It was an experiment to try to get a PPC-6601 (Original ROM) up to 3900 from a Hard Reset. It's a mix of BT3500_C and BT3900.CAB (Don't use it on any CDMA phone with the new ROMs or you will be going backwards).

Thanks msw... I'm just looking for ways to avoid a hard reset, while updating my bluetooth (from 3500). Hard resets are a nightmare, it took days to get up to speed again...

I keep waiting for the magic bullet.

If you are trying to remove BT3900 (or BT3900_B) from a new factory ROM machine I can tell you how.

Do tell

E
(already did the hard reset, but want to learn)

Using a good File Explorer (like Resco). Be sure System files are set to not hidden. Also put your browser in "Detailed View". All the files installed from BT3900.CAB are dated 01/14/05. You will see them all grouped together near the bottom. Select them all and Cut them. Create a dummy folder and paste them there. You will get warnings, say yes to all. Now Reboot. Now delete the dummy folder. What goes in registry should be harmless.

I tried the 3900 patch on my Imate PDA2K on top of 3500. I did a soft reset only. The positive I was able to use the Hands Free Profile on my 2005 Acura Rl. Previous to this I was lucky if I made 1 call & it went thru. Now it works like a charm.

Hi experts,

I'm trying to make work a Jabra BT200 head set with a XDA. I have installed the Broadcom patch
-----
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. But it should be installed last if you decide to use it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=2574 (PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab)

Now I dont have sound in the normal speakers (the volume is allways down, even if you rise it to the top) and the media player said That has not the correct codecs to play sound (video works without sound), the Jabra only receive phone sound but the microphone it doesn't work.

Waht can I do?

I have a lot of sw installed and registered a hard reset is the worst solution. Do I have any other possibility?

Thanks in advance,


To Check your Bluetooth stack version:

Go to Bluetooth Icon
Choose Bluetooth Settings
Choose About Tab
Choose Advanced... button

Rock Solid Install:

Backup (to SDIO card or PC).
ActiveSync
Hard Reset
ActiveSync as Guest
Copy patch to PPC, On PC Copy to either:
My Computer: \Mobile Device\Storage Card
My Computer: \Mobile Device\Storage
Turn on Bluetooth (so it will be on when you are done)
On PPC Use File Explorer and Browse to where you put the patch
Now click on the Patch.
Soft Reset (if not done automatically).
Delete the patch from PPC if still there (it often is no longer usable).
Test your headset and Bluetooth devices.
Do real ActiveSync (delete existing partnership while disconnected).
Reinstall Apps.

Rambo Install:

Backup (to SDIO card or PC), Rambo still does backups.
ActiveSync
Copy patch to PPC, On PC Copy to either:
My Computer: \Mobile Device\Storage Card
My Computer: \Mobile Device\Storage
Turn on Bluetooth (so it will be on when you are done)
Soft Reset
On PPC Use File Explorer and Browse to where you put the patch
Now click on the Patch.
Soft Reset (if not done automatically).
Delete the patch from PPC if still there (it often is no longer usable).
Test your headset and Bluetooth devices.

If Problems:

Hard Reset
Restore Backup
Soft Reset
ActiveSync
Clean up

What if an Official patch comes along:

It may not overwrite everything these patches did.
You may have to apply the Rock Solid Install method using the official patch.

Headsets:

Stay away from: Jabra BT250 and HS820.
mswlogo favorite: HBH-300 (but it's not for everyone)
Good reports on: HS810, BlueSpoon AX, HBH-660

Risk:

This is not without risk. However I never had a single hang, crash, reset, or hard reset in the dozens or so of experiments I did. Except for Bluetooth itself not working.

There is another risk. That people stop complaining to carriers about the bugs because these patches fix their problems. Or they become passive and wait for i-mate hacks like this one. Make sure you KEEP COMPLAINING. Do you have a complaint in now?Threaten to cancel and send the phone back. These patches are proof that it can be fixed proper. There are also many issues not fixed with these patches.

Memory Error Causes using Build 3500:

When you first reboot the phone it goes out and scans for towers, this can take a bit of time.

If you try to start Bluetooth while it is scanning it collides with a Memory Error.

This is why I noticed early on if I kept retrying to start Bluetooth eventually Bluetooth would start. If I shutoff Bluetooth and reboot and immediately start Bluetooth it will fail every time. If I wait a while it will start fine with no error.

This is also why, as some clever folks noticed, that if you shut off the CDMA radio (turn on flight mode). Then start Bluetooth you can get Bluetooth started and then turn the CDMA radio back on.

This also makes sense that if Bluetooth is on, on reboot it works. I think Bluetooth starts before the CDMA radio starts scanning on reboot if Bluetooth was on when you rebooted.

Sometimes the CDMA radio can scan for a long time if it's on the fringe area or lots of towers to sort out and optimize signal (I love CDMA).

This also makes sense that it's a problem on our CDMA based phones because the patch was never designed/tested on a CDMA phone.

It's makes sense.

GSM Phone Users:

DO NOT USE these patches on PDA2K/SX66/XDAIII use originals from Club i-mate (folks have had good luck with them on SX66). Read the PDA2K forum. I’ve made suggestions there too. These patches may run, but your phone might be even more stable with more capabilities if you use the i-mate patches.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=2574 (PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab)

This is Build 3900. Source is unknown but I did install it on top of 3500C (Rambo style). I have ActiveSync'd and Did a quick test on HBH300 and it connected ok. I have not used for general use yet. I will update this later with my feedback as well as others. Yes, it still has the memory bug. But it may behave better on a newly updated XV6000 or SX66. Thanks to outz in SX66 forum for finding it. It appears to replace all the files in the 3500C patch. So it should install on a hard reset or on top of 3500C. But I don't know all the historical changes in the registry.

I assume CDMA with new ROMs refers to the Verizon XV6600 (with the camera.)

The BT version is 3500 out of the box, but the 3900B installs and seems to connect to the headset faster. Are there reasons 3900 would be a step backwards?

Also, are there utilities that can query a BT device to see what level of Bluetooth it functions at? (1.0, 1.1, 1.2...etc?) I know my Motov710 had BT 1.2 and my Jabra BT250 had 1.1 and you only get advanced features like channel hopping/optimization with everything being 1.2 or higher. I still am not sure what "level" this PDA functions at.

Ben

k, quickie sometimes when i flip open my moto850, it connects but other programs will open to. i have build 3500. also my phone came with 3500, should i go to 3900 or 3900b. im with sprint cdma 6600

I have installed 3500 ROM plus 3900 patch on vzw XV6600
Still cannot reliably work with handsfree link on acura rl (2005)
Has anyone had success with this?
Appreciate any suggestions

update to my previous post:

I reinstalled everything from the beginning through to the 3900 patch and now have success (mostly) with xv6600 and acura rl

There are still some issues (the stated memory problem with the 3900 patch) and sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect through bluetooth manager. However, at least I have use of the phone through the hands free link which I never had before.

Both Verizon and Acura point fingers at one another. My impression is that it is more a Verizon issue than Acura.

Not sure anyone is still reading/posting to this thread, but I have found that removing the Intellisync Client solves a lot of memory issues on the device. You can either remove it through Remove Programs or do a Soft Reset at the "3 second" pause point after a Hard Reset. This eliminates some other junk sw installed by Verizon.

the link for the 3900 patch isn't working

Thanks! Is there a particular sucession to installing? I figure do 2.03, then bt stack then prl after getting the info from sprint? thanks again

You can do PRL anytime, as it only affects the Qualcomm radio hardware - not the Pocket PC side of the phone.

You have to do the BT stack after 2.03, since 2.03 will hard reset the phone...

E

Very cool. the last question, since the radio that comes in the prl link version is older than the ha01_151, if I pasted the radio vers. from that link that goes with prl, will I be downgrading the radio?

As such I assume there something special about that radio copy then distinct from 151? can I simply load the prl radio and prl, then do the 2.03 so I have a newer radio? I just want to make sure I have the prl radio stuff but at the same time the newest version of the radio.

BTW loved the FAQ FAQ hahaha

There are lots of threads discussing why SPRINT users should stick with the HA00_140 or HA01_140 radios. The HA01_151 radio works with the 20007 PRL, but not with any SPRINT provided one.

That's just off the top of my head. I would stick with the HA0*_14* if I was on SPRINT.

p.s. thanks
