Bluetooth wont connect - windows mobile phone

Bluetooth wont connect - windows mobile phone

I just purchased a Plantronics Discovery 975 headset and I tried to connect to it but I can't get it to connect...

I am currently running

NFSFAN's 6.5 21864 V1.0 GENERIC CARRIER ROM + Altell .cab

Radio version - 3.42.40

I have tried:

MODE: make this device visible to other devices = on/off

TIMEOUT: Turn off visible mode = Never

SECURITY: authentication (passkey)required = on/off

FTP: enable bluetooth explorer = on/off

How to Pair Your Phone with Your Earpiece for the First Time

1: Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your phone.

2: Turn the earpiece on.

Press and hold the call control button until the indicator flashes red/white.

3: Use the commands on your phone to locate and select your earpiece.

9xxPlantronics.

This is where it fails

4: If prompted for the PIN code or Passkey, enter 0000.

Pairing is successful when the indicator on your earpiece flashes white.

Note If your phone supports Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), you will not need to enter a PIN code or Passkey.

But nothing, it fails everytime to find the device

Help ...

I have four suggestions:

1. Try the BT headset with a different device. If it works, then you know the headset is ok;

2. Soft reset the device and try pairing again;

3. Hard Reset the device. You will loose everything, so make sure that you back up first.

4. Try a different rom. If there is a problem with the BT driver in NFS's rom, then you will never get it to connect (I highly doubt that this is the case, because I have connected BT devices to this rom without issues).

good luck!

How to Increase the [speaker] Volume for Our Vogues

NFSFAN's lastest Rom's volume is quite low, is there a registry fix for this. The MANY AudioParaVogue.cabs don't seem to work, or does ONE of them work, which one?

Thanks,
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lmiller1708:
The one built in NFSFAN's ROM's is the best. You should not have a problem with it. Try my ROM or another one to compare. Mine is the same as NSFAN's. So It could be a hardware issue. ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Prowess:
There's no problem as of it working, it's just low. When you have it in your pocket, the sound is fainted. If you have traffic noise, etc., you won't hear it. If it's out of the pocket, it's 'loud'.

I've tried your Rom, I know you're improving with your version 15, but not enough for replacement. I have issues with it having no music in manilla, and alignments with dialer, etc.

When comparing this, it's because I'm comparing this with Android. The volume in Android is extremely HIGH and crystal CLEAR at maximum. Probably 175 percent louder than Windows Mobile 6.5. You would literally have to wear ear plugs because it's so high. Of course I don't put it at max!

I remember installing MS Voice Command and it increased the volume quite high, but the sound cracks. I uninstalled it because it was a retail version that I didn't buy.

Any further thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks,

Deactivate Audio Booster and SRS Wow if active. They have a tendency of dampening the sound coming out of the speaker.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Prowess:
I uninstalled Audio Booster (in 'remove programs' under settings/system) and I don't think I have SRS Wow (can't find it anywhere).

Thanks for the help, but sorry to say, sound is still the same as 'low'.

If all else fails, I'll have to cope with it for now until Android is FULLY functional.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Truth be told, I think Android might be pushing the limits of the speaker a bit too high. I personally never had issues with listening to music or hearing people over the phone with my Vogue, but it could be just me...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hhp_211:
Hey thanks egz... I tried first 2 then 1 a phone on which I new would do BT...and...no luck...

...so I went back to instructions and found I wasn't getting the headset into pairing mode.:confused:

Once I did that I was golden!!!

Thanks again!!!

Hi is there a quick comparison breakdown of the few newer ROM's??

B-ROM | Miller-ROM | Eqzthunder1's-ROM | Brack-ROM | Barogi44-ROM

I would like to try one or some out, ...

it just seems like it takes so long to fine tune a ROM after loaded, ...

I currently don't have a ton of free time to do that.

and I'm getting cross-eyed :eek: trying to switch views back and forth to see who has what.

Thanks for everyone's time in continual ROM development!!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I will tell you right off the bat that mine is great if you are in MetroPCS... The other 3 are more generic carrier type of roms (I haven't seen Brack's rom). The latest one, I believe is from Barogi, so you can go with that one if you feel adventurous enough. Truth be told though, I would just flash all of them (it might take 1 hr tops to go through all of them - provided that you downloaded all of them already)

Hope this helps...

hey guys..

hey guys.. off topic but.. did any1 try the appkiaction wmwifirouter with the bell htc touch plan??

Does bell detect it and charge like crazy?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
You cannot use wifirouter since the Vogue doesn't have Wifi on it. Having said that, you might be able to do something similar via BT. However, you are gonna have to dig around a bit for this one since I have personally never done it myself (although it should be perfectly doable).

Now, you are referring to Tethering. I haven't really seen too many reports of people getting charged for tethering, but aside from data usage, they cannot really tell if the data being used is by the cell or by a device connected to it.

Hey all having problems switching from portrait to landscape when txting with ezinput; any suggestions...while on the subject can/did anyone develop a screen rotation quick toggle/icon? if so can u provide a link. Also having problems with taking video with stock camera program on 3.19. anyone have same issue/solution?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
There might already be a few in existence. You may want to do a google search for something like "WM +screen rotation +toggle" or something like this. Also, I think that the screen rotation is a program located under \Windows (can't remember the name though)

Any guidance on camera issues

EGz thunder any guidance/insight on camera issues, thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Define camera issues. If you are talking about the video issue that you mentioned, Nag might need to cook the rom again with a different camera app altogether. However, you are not clear on what kind of issues you are having with the video (doesn't record, video is choppy, different formats, etc).
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] devildog0729:
Sorry...doesnt record. red light comes on and minutes countdown as if, but when u go to replay nothing happens.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Does it create a file? Because if it does, you may simply be recording under a format with unsupported codecs (happened to me with my HD2)

Video Camera issues

Sorry...it does create a file, but then does not replay. can i download the necessary codecs off of xda...and what are they?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Try to get TCPMP, which has many codecs for different video formats. My guess is that you are recording in something like mp4 or something that the device cannot play with regular codecs. Also, go to the camera settings and make sure that you change the recording format to something like avi.

Android IN Windows Mobile... err...?

Okay, so a few months ago I heard someone say he could install Android OS on his Windows Mobile phone in way that he could switch in to Android, and if he wanted, just reboot the phone and it would come back to Windows Mobile.

Did I misunderstand something? Is this possible? If it's possible, what is this process CALLED (since I'm sure there's already a step-by-step how to guide).

I've looked at the "how to" guides for installing Myn's Warm Donut on a Vogue and they seem less clear than EGZThunder's guide for installing Windows Mobile ROMs. I still don't want to dive in to that because I haven't found out how Android recognizes what network you're on (since there is no such thing as a Carrier CAB file on Android!) - but that's a question specificially for the Android forums.

NuAngel
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Simply load Android from SD. Tatnai's guide over at Android is pretty clear on how to do this.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NuAngel:
Gonna read up on Tatnai's guide. Thanks much!

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Let me know if you have questions.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
To tether via USB for a PC (with XP) you must:

1. Have data plan active on your account;

2. Connect your device to your computer;

3. Open up a program called Internet Sharing;

4. Click Connect.

Certain roms have the USB to PC interface that pops up every time you connect the device to the computer. If that is the case, simply choose internet sharing and click connect.

I am not certain about Mac or how to tether via BT (although I know for a fact that it is perfectly possible). I hope this helps.

GTX theme (especially bottom bar for 6.5.x

Have you seen the GTX theme for Sense 2.5?

This looks really good!

One of the main reason I still use a 6.5 version is because I find the 6.5.x bottom bar so ugly!! I have never found a theme or a skin that makes me like it... It looks so "unfinished"... Like an alpha version...

But look at that nice and slick bottom bar (start menu) on the last line of pictures : No apparent buttons, seamless... Beautiful!! :)

Can anybody do that for Touchflo 2D? Simply skinning the bottom bar and probably also the scroller...

I already use the Diamond skin for the CDMA dialer that is all white (NFSFAN's), Audio manager is already white too...

That would be awsome!

Long Battery WM6.5

I'm currently using barogi's rom now on my vogue with 3.42.30 radio.

Is there any rom which have less battery usage? so my battery will stay longer like in the stock rom.

thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks LMIller, will try that
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
How old is your battery? It could be that it is unable to hold charge because of age. You should probably try them out and see which one performs better. I don't believe that there is a formal comparison between the different roms.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I don't believe there is a QVGA version for it, but you could ask the author.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vellowax:
it's a rather old battery :D

btw, i was in nfsfan rom, but i could only stay with that rom for only 1 day, because the rom took a little bit more battery life than the stock rom.

So yesterday i flashed with barogi's rom and i think it is better than nfsfan.

Dont know with others.

egzthunder1

Maybe be i should try your rom too...:)

And about the widget,

is there any widget like in android for task manager in WM6.5 ? ( Press to end all applications ). it would be useful widget and save more life for battery.

Hi,

I have an interesting problem. I unlocked an htc vogue, put on wm 6.5 and then android. I was purchasing a hero to replace it. The number was switched over from the old phone, but before the sale was rung up the sales clerk and I realized that the deal I had gotten two days ago as the "primary person" on the account was not the deal my wife would be getting, so no go. Anyway, the codes I was given to reactivate my wife's phone (I had left it in my office, thinking there was no reason to bring it along) now won't activate her unlocked phone. Aaaarrrgh! Is there any way to flash it back to stock in order to use code to reactivate?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cheatachu72:
Two quick questions:

I have flashed NFSFAN's latest rom to my touch and have experienced these two issues.

1) During a phone call, it seems the speaker will just go out for about 3-5 seconds. People can hear me talk, but it there is absolutely nothing going on. This occurs maybe 3 times during a 45 minute call. Is this a known issue? This is the second touch I have tried it on, and both touches had this issue.

2) I fall asleep streaming radio with TCPMP with the phone on the charger, and a couple of nights ago I was woken up at 3:00 AM to the chirp for low battery. The phone was charging off the wall and the phone was SUPER hot. Like, uncomfortable to hold, not like just got done talking for 60 minutes. The phone said it was charging, and the TCPMP was still playing my stream. Bad hardware?

Thanks guys!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Never heard of that issue...

It may be that the consumption by the device is higher than the output from the charger. Hence, it turns it into a constant in/out charge of the device.

As for the first issue, have you tried a different rom?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Next time, please post your questions here. Don't open new threads for questions.

As for your issue, look in my guide. I have a link for all the stock roms (or at least most of them). Just make sure that you get the one for your carrier, and simply flash it.

Has anyone have any problems with adding cities in manilla. I've tried all roms that have manilla cooked in and I can't get my city Philippi, WV to get added. Anyone have some pointers.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lmiller1708:
Sure...

First add any city to the list.

Then using CeRegEditor goto [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Weather\0]

Edit the Following:

"LocationCode"="YOUR ZIP HERE"

"Location"="THE NAME OF YOUR TOWN HERE... CAN BE WHAT EVER..."

Softreset and then update the weather. Then just export the entire Weather reg and place it in one or your OEM's.

If this don't work let me know...

Have fun!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ski21:
LMiller, I can get the weather to work in the older manilla like which is in your rom, but the new manilla it won't work. I copy the weather file from you rom after my city is added, and add it to the new manilla but I just keep getting data not available.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ski21:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cheatachu72:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Well, the battery drain issue confused me because I have been streaming radio overnight with the stock rom and I wake up to a recharged battery. It was odd that using the same program the phone was really really hot and dead battery.

Also, I did not have the problem with the stock rom. I would be willing to try another ROM, but I like the way that NFSfan's rom looks...any suggestion for a rom that looks the same, but has different stuff going on under the hood? Miller's scared me with his line about "if you want a stable rom this isnt for you" and your's scared me with the (MetroPCS) part.

What kind of coffee do you drink? ;)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Don't be scared by disclaimers... the only reason they are there is because most of these releases are not Microsoft's official releases... hence, they are bound to be somewhat unstable. As for mine, you can take that to any carrier. It is really optimized out of the box for MetroPCS, but can be used with any carrier really...

As for the coffee type, I drink any kind ;) (cuban, black, latte, any kind will do really :))

Well this is probably one of the dumbest questions but my search efforts have been rather futile..

Not a biggie but for some reason my Sprint Vogue has been flashed with a few of the top custom roms here.. All is well aside form the fact that whenever I dial i dont recieve a Sprint message.. It actually states that the phone is for a verizon account (it says SPRINT right on the phone).. There have been a couple roms with provision fixes but not for the one im using now.. Is this common? Or even a problem at all? Just thought it was weird..

Anyhow thanks to all of you at XDA for breathing life into my otherwise crappy phones =D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
The phone that you have (which I am guessing was purchased used) is programmed for Verizon network, which is why you hear Verizon messages even thought the device is Sprint branded. You have to reprogram the device with EPST.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hexalot:
Thanks for that! It looks like I have some research to do as the EPST program opened p quite abit of info.. Just a quick question tho.. I have a Sprint Instinct thats already activated and ready to go.. Can I copy the ESN, HEX and all that from my Instinct into the settings of EPST on my vogue and have it obtain my service? Id like to switch to this phone without calling sprint if im able to..
