The MS may not have as many profiles as the Widcomm, but apart from the disconnect issue works ok on WM5 and gives you one important thing - BT voice dialling. From experience with Widcomm on 2003SE it will probably not work and I realise that doesnt matter to a lot of people; but just watch as people start asking how they can do voice dialling with the Widcomm stack. But all efforts to produce a better BA are appreciated by me, whatever they end up running.

Presently I've moved as much (and still moving the remaining portions I can) of the BT stack from the Himalaya AKU2 to TuMa v1.4. So far (according to beta testers) I've got it working with A2DP and Avrcp ... but the 'disconnect' issue is obviously still present.

I've tried some power-manager settings to keep BT active, but didn't have any luck with those either. I may be able to make a "battery hungry" solution for the MS BT stack problem though - which could be used as an optional CAB for those who recharge regularly. It may even be possible to make something which turns ON and OFF the power manager settings to accomplish this as well. Who knows - only experimentation will tell.

Anyways ... TuMa will keep the MS Stack (for now), and probably have either a power management CAB or a Widcomm replacement CAB as possible BT solutions.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Percz:
Well if the MS Stack can support A2DP and Avrcp without any problems, why use anything else? Although the MS Stack does look dull. :)

What's this disconnect problem people keep mentioning btw? I've used my trusty TomTom on my BA over bluetooth to a GPS device and had it worked on TuMa 1.3 without any problems or disconnects. 8)

MS Stack???

So TuMa 1.4 will still use the MS BT Stack? ...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] rschell:
Re: MS Stack???

I used both the Widcomm and MS stacks. Both have "issues":

The MS stack won't stay active and there is a low volume high pitch in my HT820 headset on Media playback. Handsfree and high quality profiles work well together.

The Widcomm stack has better sound quality but with low volume clicking noise in the right channel. Handsfree and the high quality profiles don't work well together right now.

Both have buffering problems that I haven't put my finger on yet, the high quality profile music will "skip" occasionally, it may be activesync and compaction thread related.

Right now, I think I favor the MS stack over Widcomm, at least all the features work between music and phone usage.

Couple of issues

Tuatara,

I have been following the latest releases and will decide to go to TuMa 1.4 after the teething problems have been solved.

I am on TuMav1.3 and have 2 issues:

1. After a soft-reset I loose any programs installed on teh Storgae Card. I might be doing something wrong. When prompted to pick th location for insatlling the application, I have 4 options: Device, /ExtRom, /Temp disk and /storage card. Can you please explain the consequence of choosing each of these options?

2. During voice calls, somtimes the voice goes through the handset to the other party, not through the bluetooth headset. under what sitation does this happen? After a soft-reset? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Re: Couple of issues

Good decision ... 8)

When putting the files in the EXTROM folder, they should all be marked as READ-ONLY. This should have been done in the original ZIP file I provided for TuMa v1.3. Use ActiveSync to copy them across to your device, and they should retain their READ-ONLY flag. Otherwise, the AutoRun application will delete the CABs once they are installed.

As for installation location - for the TuMa v1.3 CABs, they will ALWAYS be installed to the device, as they must be located in specific places for the registry keys to be assigned correctly. I have not made the CABs fully relocatable - delibrately so to limit the problems which people can have.

Any other CABs which you've added to the Cfg.txt file for default install (i.e. your own cooked EXTROM), these would also need to be marked READ-ONLY.

Unfortunately no. I did not have any Bluetooth gear myself until AFTER I'd already started on TuMa v1.4 - so I've been predominantly using the updated BT stack from the Himalaya AKU2. Maybe someone else here has a suggestion for you on this issue?

My BA will be in 'alpha' v1.5 mode for the next while ... 8)

TomTom issue on V1.3

I'm using this ROM for a week now and even though I need to soft reset my qtec9090 every day (a few times), i won't go back to wm2003. I has wonderfull features, i'm looking forward to version 1.5

I'm using the GPS "virtualizer" for my BT-GPSreceiver. TomTom 5.21 and OziExplorerCE 1.11.3

GPS-settings on hw port com6 and s/w port com7. BT activated, but no devices connected.

When I then first start Ozi, Ozi will automaticly connect to the GPS thrue com7. Next I'll start TomTom and TT also finds the GPS thrue port7.

When I change the order and just start TomTom, TomTom won't find the gps thrue com7. TomTom only works when directly connected via the h/w com6.

so TT doesn't seem to be able to activate the BT GPS connection via the "GPS virtualizer", but is only able to use it if another program like Ozi activated the connection.

suggestions?

WiFi issue on V1.3

Very often WiFi won't activate.

When I click on the WiFi icon in the systemtray and check the box "turn on WiFi" and click "ok", the screen will close as usual, but WiFi won't turn on.

checking WiFi a second time will show that the checkbox is empty again. Only a soft-reset will solve the problem.

Actualy very much like the BT issue.

My experience sofar is that for BT and WiFi both it appears to be that when WiFi and/or BT are active and for some reason the connection is lost, the problem will occur. I.e. having the BT-GPS activated, walking away from the car with the qtec9090 so losing the active connection will make losing BT and needing to soft-reset.

When i close down the GPS-connection and stop BT before walking away, BT stay's available.

The same seems to happen with WiFi, turning on/of Wifi in an area where i can succesfully connect works fine, but having turned on WiFi and losing the connection makes thath i need to soft-reset to het WiFi back.

I hope this helpes in solving the BT issue :?

[alt][tab] feature request on V1.5

SPB Pocket Plus has a neat [alt][tab] feature wich you can connect to a h/w button. This is very usefull in changing active programs just like on a desktop.

SPB Pocket Plus made the wm2003 version slow, but now on WM5 it's makes the device extremely slow so a can't use it anymore.

Most of TuMa V1.3 works beautifull

You can consider me a intensive PDA user, for example yesterday and today:

With a lot of traffic-jam driving to and from work. BT-on, GPRS-on, TomTom via BT-GPS, Headset via BT. about 1,5 hour using the phone, while BT-GPS is active at the same time, between two call's a MMS is coming in with a foto and a message, replying this with a camera-picture of the traffich-jam via MMS/GPRS, TomTom-GPS and headset keep functioning. Meanwhile checking the internet-mail. AL together 4 hours of intensive PDA use and iin between n the office-hours just using the phone and IE through GPRS for 8 hours.

Today jogging for 1,5 hour in the woods with the BT-GPS on and Ozi-explorer to keep track of the route, meanwhile SMS coming in, driving back home so adding Headset and TomTom via the BT, while GPRS keeps working on the weather updates for SPB-Weather.

All this without one bug or need for soft-rest and not loosing GPRS and BT connections.

If I just stay aware to turning of BT before it's out of reach of headset and GPS then it seems quite stable.

Very good is the GPRS/MMS stability, in the "old" day's of WM2003 ROM it has neven been this stable!!

Good job :D :D

additional testing results

My divx player works fine as well, that's nice for the little one at the backseat in the car. The qtec9090 in landscape mode next to the mirror, tomtom active talking the directions in the background, a nice movie in full-screen playing and when the phone rings it'l just go in pause-mode for the movie and i can handle the phonecall. off-cource all with BT-on for GPS and headset.

The Citrix ICA client for mobile devices works fine as well. I can connect via GPRS, launch the ICA client and do wat ever I want on the office-desktop-citrix environment.

E-wallet encrypted data also functions perfectly.

For the [alt-tab] question, for now i set the""running-programs" application on a h/w button, it'll do as work-around

For the WiFi issue, i'll try the wifi-enable application for a while to see if it works better.

thanks for the quick response

tomtom and gps

TomTom is indeed not the most intelligent on gps connections. In a previous version tomtom had it's own bt-stack installed, overriding the bt-stack from the device :cry:

anyway, when I use Franson gpsgate tomtom does find de software-port emulated by franson. Even when tomtom is the only gps-requiring application. But what Franson gps-gate does is connecting to the gps-device via BT, making it an active connection.

the gps-function in wm5 does not connect to the gps-bt device and waits for an aquiring application to search for a gps device. And this is what tom-tom can't handle.

isn't there a registry tweak to make the gps-function more aggresivly searching for a gps-device when bt is turned on, or would that be to much battery consuming?

lefthanded screen rotate

because of the way I placed my carkit (landscape-style) I very often rotate the screen. I put the <rotate screen> function under a button to do the trick.

In WM2003 I could define a "lefthand" modus (don't ask me how, did it once and it stayed that way) so when rotating the screen it turned clockwise in stead of counter-clock wise.

I can't find a way to this in WM5, is there a registry tweak for it or otherwise a trick to handle this?

Activesync 4.1 issue on notes

I discovered that I missed a number of contacts on the PDA, after some deduction it are all the contacts that have some text in the "note" field.

adding a new contact without note and a new contact with a note will lead to two contacts syncrhonizing with the pda. When scrolling through the contacts, only the one without a note is visible on the pda.

adding a note on the pda to a contact without notes, will lead to schronizing with the desktop and showing the note in outlook on the desktop. Updating the note on the desktop will make activesync to sycn this contact, but on the pda the contact info stays unchanged.

removing a note from a contact on the desktop will make activesycn to sync again, but will still not show the contact on the pda.

is this just me or are there more people who can recreate this issue and hopefully have a solution?

by the way, my pda outlook is WWE, on the desktop it is a dutch language

Re: TomTom issue on V1.3

I recommend integrating Mortbuttons: Exellent freeware taskswitcher (alt-tab feature) and menu. I've been using this with TuMa 1.4 and it works great! I'll never go back to start-menu or pocket plus for launching programs. I've assigned different menus to the different hardware buttons so I easily can launch everything one-handed. It has an annoying 1 sec delay before popping up but this could be improved if integrated in rom.

Also consider Mortsaver, from the same author. This is a screensaver/buttonlock that lets your device stay in standby even with interrupting events like incoming sms.

He also has an excellent mp3-player, mortplayer, which is ideal for one handed use.

Btw. Thanks for all the great TuMa roms!

activesync issue

i think, that activesync issue found in TuMa1.4 is hidden somewhere in TuMa1.3

To replicate: turn on DHCP and Autoconfig for Remote NDIS (registry keys in my post within TuMa1.4 thread), reboot, surf the internet using GPRS and put BA into the craddle.

Sometimes this doesn't deactivate GPRS and you will got "not recognized USB device" (PC side). Surf more - probably you will get "cann't execute tmail.exe" and "cann't execute repllog.exe".

I have no idea what is wrong :-(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
Re: TomTom issue on V1.3

I would definitely not recommend adding Mortsaver to the rom; rather have it as an installable cab in the extended rom. I have had problems with it locking up on WM5 so dont use it anymore. Also tried Mortbuttons and didnt like the interface. There are so many alternatives like Magic Button, vBar, GpsMagic. These apps are freely available to download, why add it to the rom when not everyone will want them?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sinensis:
Re: TomTom issue on V1.3

IMO it's important that a taskswitcher pops up immediately. That's why it should be in the rom (if that means faster loading..). I can't see what's wrong with mortbuttons interface, it works exactly like the alt-tab combination in windows. One click brings it up and selects the first program, additional clicks cycles through. Or you can go to a program directly by tapping the icon.

IMO it's also important to be able to use the device without the stylus and to be able to launch any program as fast as possible, without cluttering the today screen. If you know some better free alteratives to Mortbuttons that meets these criterias I would like to know.

Tuatara,

I see in your profile thaht you also have a O2 XDA, i'm considering to upgrade an XDA to WM2003SE to get the certificates functionality. Do you have any experience with it?

b.t.w. i'm now real-time in sync my office exchange server over gprs via pki-certificates all day and meanwhile in sync with three pop3 mailboxes and using gprs-internet and bt-headset and gps, and internet connectivity via wifi@home. it works very solid as long as i don't connect the pda to a desktop using activesync. that seems to be the naughty one. So for now i'm very happy with your 1.3 release
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
From the posts and limited testing I did of the 2003SE hack/port to the XDA, I decided and settled on (and very happy I did to date) a ROM I custom "cooked" using LumpyStephan's ROM Kitchen - containing all of the 'bits' which I found useful. I based this on the 'most stable' version as per the forums and my own experience: ROM Kitchen v4.01.12, Radio 4.21.

The XDA is my 'backup phone' so it doesn't always get charged fully, and 'dies', losing it's RAM memory on a relatively often basis. I've created a set of simple CAB files which re-import a previously set up Registry Changes, and dynamically changes the configuration back to a clean default for my preferences. In this way I only need to recharge, boot, run the registry CAB, reboot, and my device is 100% functional, personalized, and ready to go again.

2003SE isn't really recommended - I think that there are a number of bugs and issues - but many have workarounds. So, you're probably in (almost) the same boat as a BETA ROM for BA ... the only downside would be that there's nobody working on the XDA anymore ... although putting WM5 on a Wallaby would be a cool/funny thing to try to do. 8)

ActiveSync has some SERIOUS problems in general. I'm not sure how MSoft could get that so wrong on some points, and so right on others. I believe there's too much 'sync' integration attempted with it, and not enough attention to device capabilities. It'd be easier for the device to monitor and push changes, than to try and 'ravage' the device to figure out what might be different. But that's my $0.02.

I will however "see what I can do". Stability now is my primary goal. Speed is nice, but if it doesn't work reliably ... then it just sucks.

Activesync is not buggy. Love the additional features of this rom esp soft reset. GPS is very stable...Tomtom even loads up faster thanks to this.

Desktop feature is very useful aswell as the taskmonitor within the start up menu. You was right about waiting 4 the installation to load up before aligning the screen..so much faster.

So far I think the best part of this rom is that the phone is not as sluggish as it was b4 when it synched, received calls..i.e general connections in and out of the phone are better. Further testing and stability over time will determine if i keep this..So Far though a big thumbs up and once again thanks to all developers who made this possible.
