What's up with Dell's Bluetooth drivers? - Page 5

i have the dell 350 bluetooth, and the toshiba stack is suck $h!t, i cant get my smartphone to sync with my lappy due to its $h!tness. anyways will this guide work with my bt? i dont have a logitech hub etc.

I have a Logitech DiNovo Media Desktop Laser that I've connected to my internal BT350 module in my XPS Gen2. It would be a wicked bit of gear except that my PC periodically BSODs whenever I send/receive email in Outlook. I've tried Widcomm 5.0.1.801, 5.0.1.802 with no change, and upgraded the firmware in the bluetooth module all to no avail. Removing Setpoint seems to fix the problem so I believe it may be caused by some logitech hook attempting to update the display on the mediapad to notify of new mail.

Has anyone here experienced this, or have any bright ideas on how to fix the problem (not using outlook isn't a fix )?

Should be fine, just do steps 1 to 7.

i hate to put this here but i think it belongs here. if anyone has a windows mobile 5.0 device then this will be helpful. if you want to create a partnership you need to open activesync on your desktop/lappy go to file, then connection settings, check box for allow connetions to one of the following, then choose com port 7. partnership should create successfully.

Has anybody else experienced the bluetooth icon not showing up on the tray? This has happened to me the last 2 times I have booted my laptop but if I kill TOSBTMNG.EXE and restart the Bluetooth manager it shows up in the tray.

Ideas?

excellent guide!

Excellent Guide!!!!! I put in the 350 module and it loaded with microsoft drivers. It was a pain in the rear to use it for anything with those drivers so I went to install the toshiba stack and it locked up on install during every attempt. After that my bt didnt work. I followed this guide and not only did it recover operation but the use of bt is very easy now and has more functions. I use it to connect to my hacked Motorola Razr VC3. File transfer and EVDO cellular broadband are flawless.

To the OP:

Logitech has released a new version of the SetPoint software, version 2.60 build 601.

What's special about this version is that includes the Widcomm Stack 5.0.1.2500 and also a new firmware for the Logitech dongle (don't know version yet, still downloading). Any chances of getting a "service pack" for this new version?

Thank you for the guide. Quite useful indeed.

Edit 1: Didn't see any DFU screen during the update process, and in my usual idiocy I didn't take note of the firmware version before the update. After everything installed it shows:

Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation
Firmware Revision: 2.1.85.0

HCI Version: Bluetooth HCI 2.0
HCI Revision: 2000
LMP Version: Bluetooth LMP 2.0
LMP Sub Version: 4155

Edit 2: Nvm about the "service pack", I've been lazy and I haven't checked the relevant sources for a long long time. I will leave the (possible) updating of the thread to you

Need help on 2 items!

Hats off to Karoloydi, I'm a bit late to this thread but I need some help on 2 items: (1) I don't see dfu.exe inside the dfu directory. Where else can it be?
(2) Is anybody using the Apple Wireless keyboard and how did you get to successfully pair?

I just tried connecting my Sony Ericcson z2520a phone to my laptop with a 350 Mobile using the Toshiba drivers and the laptop would only see the phone as a modem and not as a bluetooth device. This kept the Sony Ericsson software from seeing the phone so that I could sync my laptop up with it. Any ideas on how to get the Toshiba drivers to properly see the phone?

I hate to ask this because it will sound stupid.Can someone give me the exact part number of the internal TM350 module I need for my Inspirion 9300.The dell website does not list any.

Anyone try to connect Bluetooth Headphones (not a headset) to their Laptop? I can find it and pair it fine. (well i finds BT-Headset if that's correct) But I can't connect. I'm using the latest Dell firmware and the stack as described in post #3...

The Bluetooth adapter for the i9300 is the TM350. Pick up the telephone and call Dell Spare Parts (they don't have a website), and give them the i9300's Service Tag #.

The newest setpoint 2.60 + widcomm 5.0.1.2500 can recognize my mx 900 without logitech hub. Most important, my wish came true, setpoint allow to customize button assignments without using bulky hub. Yehaaa !!!

Step by step:
1) Download setpoint 2.6 (included widcomm) at logitech site.
2) (Optional) Remove previous setpoint, widcomm. Restart.
3) Run installer. Don't press "Finish" button.
4) Explorer into "c:\documents and settings\administrator\Local settings\Temp" (i use "administrator" username, replace that username by yours). Search for a directory contains 3 subdirs: khal, Redist, Widcomm.
5) Copy Widcomm folder to another location. Now you can press "Finish". I think no need to restart.
6) Install widcomm.
7) Use the attachment program "license patcher" to generate a license.dat and a license.reg file. Select "TM350" in the drop down box. Press patch. It will put those files in the same folder.
8) Copy license.dat to "program files\widcomm\...", to whatever folders that contains bttray.exe
9) Import license.reg to registry, it will remove the "trial period" nag screen.
10) Execute bttray.exe. Right click on bluetooth icon, Start.
11) Restart. Done.
12) Now setpoint allow you to customize buttons. In other to specify functions for each application, please download uberoption here. Install it, then a miracle come true

The attached file: "patcher 1.7" is downloaded from gsmhosting forum. This thread.

does this work 100% on restart? i mean, does setpoint recognize the bt mouse with the dell 350 bt module without having to plug in the logitech dongle and removing it upon restart?

edit: followed dual-athlon's steps and my 350 is now using widcomm's drivers and it's all good. thanks.

hi all there.... i´m planning to buy an stereo BT headset, HT820, to work with the internal bt dell 350 of my dell9400.

Can any of you tellme if the dell bt dongle supports the A2DP protocol??
Awaiting your answers... thnks in advance... regards

you can remove it with windows powertoys, tweak ui. download it from microsoft.

That's a good question, I'd like an answer too if anyone has managed to make it work. The forums at MobilePlanet don't make it sound promising.

let´s wait for the answer together....hehehehe.... regards....

I have a 9300 with the Toshiba stack latest an ht820 and h500 and ipaq 1945 and cingular 2125. All work and a2dp also works. I also have MSKeyboard and mouse works. 2125 is a piece of junk and I would advise against it, the rest are great. Love the bluetooth deskset and the headphones are nice too they can flip the songs on the notebook while I am banging away at my desktop. Plus the phone will interrupt the music but the bluetooth stack in Mobile 5 seems like junk almost don't work.
