AKU 3.5 BlueTooth, Kitchen Fix Files

[JBabey]

I have finally tracked down and resolved the BT issues on the new kitchen. The link here will allow you to download the fixed files and replace them in your Kitchen. No more endless spinning on BT toggles, PAN issues are resolved, and headset/GPS all funcitoning properly in regards to turn on/off and losing pairing.

I dont know how to break the DLL files out of the module folders properly, so I am unable to make a cab file to allow you to patch your existing flashes. If someone is able to somehow extract those DLL files, and post them back, I will gladly make a CAB installer to allow those who do not wish to rebuild or reflash to be able to resolve their BT issues. My ROM has these fixes implemented if you wish to flash to my own.

Sorry this took so long, I had a LOT of homework to do on BlueTooth, and a crapload of reading to do on Microsoft's Technet. If you are interested in the sources for my information i will pass this link along to you from Helmi_c

ALL of the above files control the Bluetooth either directly or indirectly. It took me about 8 or so flashes to realize that you cant just update the files, you need to update their dependancies as well.

The Registry was not altered at all, so this download pack should be sufficient to do a file replacement on the UNIFIED KITCHEN.

If you have issues with BlueTooth once building a ROM with these files, please be specific and post STEP-BY-STEP instructions to duplicate your problem. I may also need a link to your ROM so I can flash it on my Demo to duplicate your issue.

Enjoy!

EDIT

1 - DELETE all of the files listed in the post above from your kitchen

2 - COPY all of the files in the zip to the proper directory. They are broken down by folder, as well as listed in the post above where they all belong

3 - DONE

________________________

None of the files are flagged as read-only or hidden, there should be no issues building your ROM after replacing these files that you wouldnt normally have an issue with.

________________________

These files fix

1 - Endless spinning icon when re-enabling BT on the handset

2 - Extremely long time to re-enable BT, phone says BT is on, but the device will not connect (headset or otherwise)

3 - OBEX & PAN disconnection issues from laptops & dropping connection during file transfers

J - I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a link to any files in your posting. It just lead me to an MSDN site with a lot of developer / reg key articles.

Am I missing something?

Hey there. I am a long time lurker on this forum, but have been following and experimenting every step of the way for months and months now. Thank you for all of your hard work.

I got the following error when trying to copy the apache drivers folder over the old files.

"This folder already contains a file named bthamb.dll"

It would not let me replace the file. My solution was to delete the entire apache drivers folder, then put new files into the folder, then copy kitchen files into folder and manually say "NO" to all existing files.

I'm flashing right now and will let you know my results.
Thanks again!!

Are you sure you were logged in at the time? The file is at the very bottom of the posting, but will only appear when you are logged in.

Jlc, you are getting that error because you are trying to replace a dll file with a dll module (folder of files) or vice versa. You will need to remove the offending file before you can copy the replacement file/module.

JBabey, Nice work. I am looking at this now. I never really had issues with BT as some reported. Occasionally the BT link would drop but that was about it.

Anyway, you can use RecMod.exe to convert modules to dll files. However, I believe that some dlls must remain as modules before building the rom. If you need the dlls in file form to create a cab to install to an existing phone, check your dump folder. All the files are converted there.

Thanks Colonel! Ill work up a cab and test. Testing a cab will take me a few days though because I took some time off work for finals so i dont have a demo handset readily available for testing.... that and the BT laptop i tested with is a work demo also haha.

Those articles and reg keys are the research I did to help me track down all of the files that control the handsets BT. If anyone was curious where I started, i wanted to give them a chance to follow my footsteps if you will. Sorta see the man behind the curtain. There was no magic... just a ton of reading, and a few forums i visited to nail down all of the files.

-Appreciate the support from these forums, Thank you all!

I was just about to compile a new 3.5 rom when I saw this - so I threw it in. I am having occasional problems with my BT being confused about whether it is really on or not - so hopefully this will fix it. I'll keep you posted.

Will this affect the problem with music skipping on BT headphones?

There are seperate threads that address that issue, it is not the stack that is causing the skips, its buffering/timing issues.

I"m having BT problems every day using a Jabara BT500 hedset with Verizon 6700 with Jeff Kirvin Clean & Simple" ROM. Droping calls from the headset to the hand set finding the check mark unchecked under BT settings having to soft reset several time a day. Is this what you guys are talking about? I sure could use some help on this problem!

Not resetting hidden file error when I build. Is it a big deal?
