hold on people

pocket bluetooth tools works like charm with my O2 mini

BUT

the catch is to use the right version

now

lemme make life very simple for u all

go to the link http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es

and

download the Version 1.0.1.2 (Installation through Windows PCs)

NOT THE HIGHER VERSION CAUSE IT IS NOT AS STABLE !!

once u download and install .. soft reset

then

from yr ppc .. pair it with yr computer and just as u tap the finish button .. the screen for pbt appears and select avtive sync in that ..

now

when u tap the tools option in active sync .. it will show " connect via bt with (computer name)"

just tap this option and u r good to go

remember u must have done active sync atleasr once prior to this with a normal usb cable or cradle

HOPE THIS WORKS FOR U
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeTheMagician:
Thanks I'll give that a try now. You are saying to NOT use the latest version of PBT right?

BTW - I am syncing with a Toshiba Satellite 5100 laptop with on-board BT (if that has anything to do with it)

Thanks again! (oh, and yes - I have upgraded to 1.11)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeTheMagician:
I have 1.11 and I'm running a fresh (ie. brand new from a zeroed hdd) version of XP SP2 with the latest updates, BIOS etc. etc.

Jack - so should I do a USB sync first (if I just sync "files" to save time is that ok?) and then try using the stock standard Activesync bluetooth setup.....before I retry PBT?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeTheMagician:
Okay - this is completely F___ED !!!!

I have tried AGAIN to do a normal ActiveSync BT setup and, despite the "Connect via Bluetooth" option being available in the menu - when I click it absolutely nothing happens (and yes, the two devices are already bonded)

Okay - take two (more like 202.... :evil: )

I then downloaded and installed the 1.0.1.2 of PBT as suggested and tried that.....and just like before....absolutely no "Profile Selections Screen" shows up after doing the setup (to the letter). Oh, and now the "Connect via Bluetooth" option is actually GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGHHHHHHH :evil: :evil: :evil: :!: :!: :!:

Somebody MUST know how to fix this?????????
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
hey mike

relax man

u r just missing something...

have u checked the com ports that the computer has assigned to yr device and if the one active sync progarm(in the pc) is using is the same as that ..

if u have done that too then just remove the pbt ...

do a soft reset ..

let yr device relax ..... u also relax

and then

go to this thread and check it out

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
I guess what U are missing is the correct Com port value for active sync. (no matter U are using stock or PBT)

I am not sure about Toshiba's BT driver. But to check the com port of my Desktop (Widcomm BT driver from IBM) is right click on the BT icon > advance setting > local service.

Then config yr active sync to use the same value.

Once U click connect via BT on yr PPC's Activesync, the desktop should notify U yr PPC is connecting. After U apporve the connection, Activesync on desktop should get activate and start syncing
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
ok

i have a dell inspiron 9300 but i didnt get the bt module

so i use a bluetooth dongle with widcomm stack

my point is that iam not familiar with yr toshiba

so u r gonna have to work with me here !

WE WILL MAKE IT WORK ..DONT WORRY

on the right hand corner of yr laptop's screen along with the volume and other icons there must be an active sync icon in grey colour

right click on it and then click on "connection settings"

there u will find the following options

allow serial cable ........(select this if not done already)

and

allow usb .... (which must be selected already)

IF THE FIRST OPTION WAS NOT SELECTED THEN THAT MY FRIEND "WAS THE PROBLEM"

however if it was or wasnt ....

see which all com ports r available in the drop down list

now select the one which matches yr toshiba list ..... which as far as i understand are .. com 1 , com2 , com4 and com5

if more than one r matching then try one by one

now in yr ppc uninstall pbt .. soft reset ....

and now try the connect via bt option of active sync

remember to try with all matching options of com ports

if this doesnt work ... dont worry !!

install again the version of pbt that i told u earlier

after installation ... soft reset

now

tap the bt icon on the ppc and select both option in front of u

next

delete any existing names of yr comp in the devices list

and

search for new

select yr comp name ny tapping it and then tap next

then

give passkey and tap next

as soon as u feed the passkey in comp too

the PBT screen will appear

on that select active sync and tap ok

and then finish

if it asks to assign serial port .. say yes

if asks to assign as hands free ... say no

tap ok

goto active sync

tap .. tools ... tap connect via bt to ..... and then reply on this post if it works

and even if it doesnt

and if u didnt understand what i just explained .. read the thread link i have given above !!!

phew .... this is a very very long post now

HOPE IT HELPS U

On my jam the newest version of PBT didn't work (no options after bonding and a lot of major bugs) I downloaded the version prior to the last one and it works perfectly
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
yup

sanders is right

that is the version i have been trying to explain about here too

thanks for the support man
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeTheMagician:
I

really

appreciate the effort you have gone to in trying to help me man!! Thank you!!!

I feel really bad in saying that it STILL isn't working - I tried everything you suggested and it is EXACTLY the same problem as before. No PBT screen after bonding and then when I go to ActiveSync the "connect via bt" option is gone!

Damnn......when are Apple going to make a handheld/phone?

Just one point - I am supposed to be using version 1.0.1.2 right?? Should I try an even older version perhaps as a next option?

The wierd thing is that we should still be able to connect via bt with just ActiveSync right? Anyone have any further ideas?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] boatcyber:
Same Problem.. Solved

I just removed the 1100 PBT and my mini is back to normal again.. I before had trouble pairing with jabra, mini run so slower and halted.. and just before i remove the PBT, I can't even hear anything from the phone. i was thinking about these problem ..

1. maybe this PBT shouldn't run from Storage card

2. XP service Pack 2 {I have just SP1 before)

3. the big storage..

but after remove PBT.. it's working good again.. will try install 1102 later.. :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
what device r u using mike ??

jam or mini or ..?????

and u have to use the Version 1.0.1.2 (Installation through Windows PCs)

and "not"

Version 1.0.1.2 (alternative installation directly on the PDA)

this is quiet strange !!

actually it should work without pbt ..but cause of the stupid microsoft stack in our devices .. we face such problems

ok now answer the following questions ..

1... did u check the com ports available in active sync and they matching to the ones in toshiba ???

2.... have u read and tried what is in this thread http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=544932

3... r u using the pbt version i have mentioned above ??
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeTheMagician:

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) Yes

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MikeTheMagician:
PS - the other REALLY annoying (and wierd) thing is that it actually worked the very first time (just like in the link you just posted) and this was using the latest version (i.e. v1.1)????????????

The only conclusion is there MUST be some secretly buried DLL's or some other legacy code that just won't budge! I have tried emailing the maker of PBT but so far - no response. Anyone else had any success corresponding with this guy?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
For people having problem w/ PBT latest version !!!!!!

Actually, I did use PBT lastest version long time ago and I remember I ahd that selection screen disappear problem too. But somehow I search the web (don't remember where) and get an solution to make it working on my Jam.

The profile selection screen actually is there but it just get covered up by the "Name selection" page.

So here it the trick to bring it back:

I don't remember exactly which steps. But when you went thru the steps pairing w/ yr PC and it ask U to click "OK" or "Finish" on the final step, DON'T click it. Instead, just click Start > Today to bring up yr today screen. Then click the yr BT tray icon and U should see the profile selection page now.

But as I said before, PBT is still still buggy and I don't see any point to use it if U can use the stock one.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Sander:
Re: For people having problem w/ PBT latest version !!!!!!

Thats true, with the new version I had to do a trick like that to get the selection screen up. But after that it gave me a lot of bugs. When I tried the older version the selection screen popped up immediately, and works still without any bugs. Have you deinstalled the program the right way? (deinstall it, soft reset, deinstall it again, remove all maps and folders left)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
Re: For people having problem w/ PBT latest version !!!!!!

The lastest version has the feature to call up the phone application by pressing the BT headset button which is nice. But that version gives a lot of problem if U don't use the today plugin that come w/ it.

The older version gives me nothing but wasting of resource since I can get BT Activesync w/o the help of any external software.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tunx:
hey mike

its very strange why this active sync thing is not working .... !!!!!

even after so many tries !!

why dont u make a back up and do a hard reset and try it once with out PBT and once with it ???

i think otherwise u have done everything else and this is probably the last thing left to do now !!!

BEST OF LUCK

Sad to see you're still having probs Mike. I have personally done a hard reset and am using the default bluetooth stuff for my new GPS unit, which works totally fine.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
I have been using Nook HD+(10inch) running Carbon rom in EMMC. It works pretty well. That and my GN2. When I originally brought the HD+ I was looking at the screen resolution as my primary concern as I use my tablet mainly for reading manga and watching movie. And it does that perfectly well. Now that the 7inch have just updated(Nexus 7 and assuming the new KFHD will follow) to have at least FHD resolution, I'm thinking maybe getting 7-inch tablet to replace the 10-inch is not such a bad idea. While I still concern about the resolution being so cram that any manga reading would be terrible, but I can try doing so simulation to experience with that. And that would be just any HD 7-inch tablet in general. My concern in choosing the variant of 7-inch would be the eco-system since it would look like either the new 2013 Nexus 7 or the new KFHD would be 2 obvious choice. Right now I have app in both Google Play Store and Amazon App Store, but since neither of my phone or tablet is Kindle based it's hard to judge. The problem I have right now is the Amazon App Store, for many time it seem after each update of Amazon App Store it force me to re-login. That alone isn't so bad, but combining the fact that Amazon App Store now doesn't allow you to paste the password in, this is a big issue for me as I use(and should be using) a long complex password. So this brought me to the questions.

1. How does the KFHD work in regarding the app management and the app store service? Does it work as well as normal android using Google Play Store?

2. Does the KF experience allow you to have Google Play Store work in conjunction with? I know the Nook UI was terrible with this prior to the official support.

3. Since I also have Prime, I know I could use watch FHD content on the KFHD, but IF say custom rom on the new KFHD is possible(still not sure is that a good idea yet nor would the new device be a total lock down) would an Amazon video would still works? I know this is more like education guess at this point, but I think the better question would be; based on the past experience how does Amazon support or restrict the mod community effect the experience? I know that was one of the problem comparing Nook HD to the KFHD, since the Nook HD hardware was more open than the KFHD, meaning easier to get custom rom running.

Any constructive advices are also appreciated.

Thanks,
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK lemme try to answer this to the best of my abilities:

1. If you are asking does the amazon store work decently then yes it works pretty well, and everything u buy will show up in your cloud so u don't have to go to the store and search for it to reinstall it, u just goto ur cloud to do so. Personally I don't like the amazon store as much because IMHO it seems like I could sometimes find newer versions of apps I bought there in the Google store, but that was only in some cases.

2.Google play store works just fine. The Google play store does work in conjunction with the amazon store in a sense, as far as I know if it recognizes an app from the Amazon store and let's say its a free app and the Google store has a more up to date version it will let u update it, but in terms of using both at once they work fine, just don't ever update amazon apps that show up in Google play store as they mess up when updated, and u have to uninstall them.

3. We indeed have custom roms, I am currently on one myself, jesters tablet ui of hashcode's cm10.1. Unfortunately as far as I know there is no way to watch amazon movies on a alternate ROM outside of using flash player on their site, and keep in mind flash player is quite buggy on jb since adobe decided to stop supporting android... My flash player tends to crash when watching videos online if I click inside the flash player more than around 8 times.

Also thought I'd mention from experience I enjoy reading tons of manga on my kindle HD 7”, don't know if u have have been using a web browser for it, but if u have I highly suggest getting a free app called quick manga from the Google play store, it supports a lot of sites and only dl's the picture and displays it while preloading the next few pages. It allows you to bookmark them, keeps track of your current chapter and page, and download chapters if u want for off line viewing as well. I love me some manga! I have over 227 manga total in my library, not all that are ongoing though. If you ever need manga suggestions feel free to pm me!

Hope I answered your questions, I was falling asleep reading manga and got on the forum to wake myself up so I wasn't exactly in the best condition while reading and replying to your questions.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Thanks for the quick response. So KFHD won't just ask you to re-login every time there is the app store update? And say, when the next KFHD come out and your current one broke, would you buy the new one or the Nexus 7 considering if the new KFHD has FHD resolution also?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK to clear one thing up, on the amazon os, the amazon app store doesn't update, and if it does it does it with the is updates. The kindles linked to your account and always stays signed in unless you unlink it, or for some reason if you clear your cache and dalvik cache , that will also usually unlink it for me.

As to your other question I am not very sure, I have never had an android device before my kindle, I haven't had a cellphone in 2 years since I lost mine outside. The kindle I have is a gift and I am jobless, and after having experience using a kindle and flashing a new is on it I find it fun to do because I'm a PC tech. But I look at it this way, if a new kindle comes out, we will first have to find out how to root it, this may be the easier part. Second we would have to determine if its even feasible to be able to put a custom or 2nd boot loader on it like the past 3(not counting first gen because it was already unlocked). So if the new one came out and u wanted to get one right away the nexus would probably be a better idea unless you want to wait and see how the new one would be in terms of rooting and flashing. But personally since I haven't used any other tablets, the kindle has grown on me, so I would probably get the new one if I could assuming the conditions above could be met.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-BoneFL:
As a former Nexus 7 (2012 version) owner for 10 months, I have an opinion :)

Assuming the new KFHD has FHD like the new Nexus 7, I would buy a new KFHD. Once rooted, the Kindle offers the full Amazon content and UI that I enjoy since I am a prime member, and the minimal UI that a third-party launcher (like Nova) offers. This is how I have my current KFHD configured. All the Google apps like Hangouts, Google+, etc, plus Amazon content.

The Nexus 7 offers a pure Android experience, but to be honest, I like do not like Google Play Books, nor do I like Google Play Movies. Since I am Prime, Google cannot compete with Amazon Prime books and instant video streaming. Oh, and I love Kindle Free Time unlimited kids's content for $3 per month.

But... if I were not Prime, then I would get a new Nexus 7 (2013) instead of a new KFHD FHD tablet.

Just one guy's opinion.

If you want the benefits of the Amazon side of things AND those of the Google side of things, go for the custom ROM called Kinology. It's the stock OS with the Google services stack installed, along with some of the annoyances fixed and a few extra features.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Thank you, I will keep an eye out for that custom rom. I would not have known that if I didn't post the question nor dig deeply in the KFHD scene.

I'm pretty much like you, T-Bone, while I'm using Nook HD+, ,y launcher of choice has always been Nova. And generally, I would not install the additional google store myself. Never touch those book/music/etc store and sometime I even use Titanium backup and force remove those stuff myself.

I guess that mean, I'll wait for Amazon announcement and pre-order the new KFHD if the apec goes according to the rumor. Thank you for all your insightful input.

2) Is factory reset will install them back? or i need to do restore?

i am about to try:

Root

Backup all these provider apps (as dialer, etc..)

uninstall all the annoying apps

am i missing something?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Kriggs:
Don't unninstall, freeze them (TiBU, App Quarantine, etc) and set the QuickButton to open the app you`re using to freeze them just in case you f*ck up the launcher.

There will no problem, good luck.

Thanks mate :)

do i need root in order to freeze them with one of the application you mentioned? (TiBU, App Quarantine, etc)
[LG Optimus G Pro] android_ace:
I believe titanium backup (tibu) needs root but the app description should tell you if it needs root or not. Just check the app description before downloading.
