Bluetooth in SP2

[elaverick]

We'll I've just grabbed SP2 and so far most of it seems to work ok... however:

If you have the WidComm Bluetooth stack installed it seems to kill that fairly instantly. I have however now uninstalled WidComm and tried using SP2s native Bluetooth stack.

Bits of it seem to work quite well however anyone with serious(?) Bluetooth needs have a couple of points to consider right now. SP2 BT has quite a limited set of services supported.

• Dial-up Networking
  
• Keyboards & Mice
  
• OBEX File Transfer
  
• Personal Area Networking (PAN)
  
• Serial Ports
  
• Printing
  

This means anyone with experience of WidComm's feature set will miss:

• Audio Headset
  
• Audio Gateway
  
• Fax
  
• PIM Sync
  

So far I haven't tried to re-install the WidComm stack but I suspect it will continue to fail (I'd like to know if this is incorrect however).

On the plus side MRouter (For Symbian OS devices) detected things absolutly fine and I think this stack might be slightly nicer about allowing multiple device connections (but as the only other BT device I have is a headset I can't be sure) as it assigns each device its own Com ports.

I'd be interested in anyone elses experiences with BT support especially if they have a method for enabling headset profiles.

i've got a conceptronic bluetooth usb device, it uses the same software as msi's. i wonder if it's not compatible with the new SP2 if so... any idea to solve this?

Ya I had problems with my bluetooth connectiont o my cellphone using the SP2 drivers. It wouldn't let me do file transfers. So the only way that I managed to the get the WidComm Bluetooth stack working was to force my bluetooth adaptor to use the old drivers and not those that came with SP2.

Hi All,

I forced the install of the old drivers on my IBM X31, I now can see Bluetooth audio but I no longer have a Mic as a recording device and only have line in.

suggestions ?

i have a widcomm bluetooth device, and i got it to work, goto control panel -> system -> hardware -> device manager -> expand bluetooth radios -> right click on generic bluetooth radio -> click update driver -> click option No, not this time -> install from a list or specific location -> click option dont search, i will choose the driver to install -> check show compatible hardware, and see if it lists the hardware correctly (if so click it then click next) if not click have disk then browse to the inf file for the driver, then all should be well, hope this helps
