anyone with ht820's had better luck quality-wise with the latest Widcomm drivers over the IVT's? Haven't tried the widcomm because I was afraid that my csr-based 350 might not work with em.... anyone?

Bluetooth, on the whole, has been an enormus pain in my butt. It's not a protocol in the purest sense of the word. It reminds me of when 802.11b was brand new. Some vendors worked with others, some did not, some 'kinda' worked, etc...

I have followed the directions and installed 3 diffrent bluetooth stacks, and all have worked equaly, which is to say, not well at all.

Now in all fairness, i'm not connecting a mouse, but a phone/Palm PC device.

I gave up and went back to the USB cable. :/

Absolutely,couldn't agree more,BT has been an enormous waste of my life.
The sooner this technology is replaced,the better.

this thread is kind of long, so i'm confused about what i should do.

so... ok, i just got myself an e1705. i ordered one with bluetooth because i figured, "oh, why not?". blah. anyway, it's the 355 module "with EDR", whatever that means.

now i'm just wondering: what do i need to uninstall, re-install, etc? i guess i'd just want bluetooth to be functional only in case i actually needed it at any point in time. would rather have the least memory footprint possible.

If you aren't using any Bluetooth devices, just leave it alone. Most of these pages are dedicated to getting one device to work with one set of drivers, etc. The main complaint (and I will be corrected if wrong) is that the Toshiba stack (drivers) are severly bloated. I.E. they fire up a hand full of processes, even if you aren't using it.

If your not using it, just disable it all. That way, if you ever need it, it will be there.

Quick question for the Motorola HT820 users.

I can get the headset to work in stereo, no problem, with my BT 350 unit. However, I can't get the silly thing to work in stereo WITH the microphone simultaneously. I can only get mono sound with the mic functioning.

Any way around this?

Nope. I think that it is a bandwidth limitation. I wish it would work...

Wow, if only Motorola had said that on the box. Wouldn't have wasted my time with it. Not only is it extremely uncomfortable, it's also flawed. Oh good!

Is there any way to make this work with the 355 Module?

I'm using an MX1000 and I'm hoping this will fix a couple of problems:

a) The mouse randomly disconnects while gaming, and it's very involved getting it to reconnect.

b) It behaves very strangely following a system standby with the Dell drivers.

Im currently using the Widdcom drivers with the 355 and it works great with my jabra bt620s (a2dp and headset), Logitech mouse (not sure which model), and my motorola phone v551. Try that stack and see how it works!

While installing the Widcomm software I get this message during the "Installing Bluetooth Kernel..." phase:

No Bluetooth device was detected. Please make sure that your Bluetooth device is plugged in properly and click 'OK' to continue installation. Click 'Cancel' to continue installation without the Bluetooth device.

So I click Cancel and it detects a COM port and a Communications Port and a couple Audio things, but nothing that would indicate that I could connect my mouse. What's my next move?

Also, although I can't get to that step yet, I don't have the Logitech dongle. Is that going to be a crippling problem in trying to use my MX1000?

Update: There's now a Bluetooth icon in my tray again, but upon Right Click it says "Bluetooth Device not found." Also, there is an unknown BCM2045 in the device manager.

Go to http://mikestein49.com/Files/ and right click/save the jabra.iso (scan it if you want but its legit). Mount the iso and install that driver. That should work. If not, I duno.

You didn't say it, but do you know about pairing a bluetooth mouse?

Right-click on the bluetooth icon and put it into search mode AND then press-and-hold the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse - hold the button in until the software registers it.

wwing, thanks for the effort, but during the installation I get the error:

"Please insert the disk: 1"

There must be some protection on that disk or something.
