Generally widcomm is a much much better stack that MS gives

On the other hand, the Samsung 760i which I had for a short time had Widcomm, and was universally panned for it lousy bluetooth performance. I would second the OP on this.

I had the i760 too, until it was discontinued due to Bluetooth performance bugs. Maybe it was BECAUSE of this, but equally likely this is just coincidence.

The Rhodium's is the first shipped bluetooth to work on a Sprint/Verizon HTC device in a long time.

History of the struggle here

I don't know enough about the specifics here to comment constructively, but I thought it was relevant.

The VZW Raphael worked fine in my 08 Altima, right from the get-go.

Just throwing my hat in the ring.

Takign apart many Rhodium and Whitestone ROMs show that the following packages are missing from every SYS;

Bluetooth
Bluetooth_Lang_0409

IMO, the newer stack works better for me, and won't be using the MS default. But maybe another chef... or maybe even you can create such a ROM.

The bluetooth stack that came on my TP2 works much better with BMW Bluetooth/iDrive...

Vote me out too.


For the first time in 2 years, I have an HTC pda that works with my Nissan Altima 08 with Factory Nav / BT

Your Altima doesn't have factory GPS navigation. With/without gps makes a difference here.

I've never had any problems with the MS stack whatsoever on either the 6700, 6800, or TP1. I've had 2 devices with Widcomm stacks (XV6600 and TP2) and both have been subpar. The Widcomm stack lacks the PAN profile, has major issues with voice command, won't hang up, ignore, or redial when you hit the appropriate buttons on your headset, and does not work at all with visual voicemail. It will connect and function fine during calls, but that is about it. I know that these problems have been well documented in the main forum.

At least if the chefs don't want to replace it, perhaps they can give us the option to do so ourselves, like many have done with the sys files on the TP1 ROMs. I'd be willing to donate to have that ability. I'd make a ROM myself but I have neither the time to do it, the knowledge to do it, or the time to learn how.

Are those the MS Bluetooth packages? Perhaps you can detail them for me a little better and how they function. Is switching the stack as easy as swapping the packages out in the SYS? Also, would it be possible to create a standalone MS BT stack installer or create an option to install the MS stack within a kitchen?
