Hello,

I have a bluetooth dongle, I use to connect my pc to phone. It came with a software name "widcomm bluetooth software". I was using it fine. but as you know windows needs to be formated frequently so I am not a exception and lost the installation. I then again try to installed but Alas my installation CD was wrecked :( . Now i was with dongle but still without dongle. Then i went to local vendor and showed him my dongle, he gave me CD, in cd i found a software named Blue Soleil. I installed and it worked. But it says (software) your device is not liencesd to use the software you can use it in evaluation mode for transferring 5 mb data only.

That's irritating as i connect to net using bluetooth..

I then searched then net and downloaded widcomm software but that one was not able to recognize my dongle.. NOw i m still using bluesoliel but cnt surf netfor long (5 mb limit) then have to restart software.

so if anybody have used Bluetooth software then kindly upload it at *www.rapidshare.de/en/webhosting.html or *www.yousendit.com etc. so that i can download. If u have bluesoleil then don't upload , and also tell me hw I can remove the 5 mb data limit while using bluesoleil.

Waiting

I've got the original WIDCOMM Drivers and the Mavin application stack, which is free. But the setup is still 18MB compressed. I'll see if I can download it at night.

Ok.. it is not easy as I thought,

In using bluetooth dongle (if you don't have software supplied with hw) is like eating iron nuts !

After many days I got widcomm 4.0.x.x worked with my dongle. (it required lotsa reading and patching etc ) but problem is that widcomm is too slow .. The blueSoliel is working nice but widcomm is useless :(

Now is there anyway we can make bluesoliel to work with my dongle ?

well....as far as i kno widcomm drivers are the best if ur dongle is supported. even if it is not then u can add it to the list urself its easy...

i personally use an Air2U dongle. i had got bluesoliel drivers wid the dongle. i use gprs on ma T610 sync'd laptop for accessing net thru bluetooth. i also use Float's mobile agent.... bluesoliel has lotsa features wid lotsa eye candy too!! but it is not compatible wid many apps n dongles...

i uninstalled bluesoliel and installed patched widcomm drivers instead....

check this link....it may solve ur prob.

hey ricky, i dont know if this wud work, but why dont u give it a try?
dload and install the TDK bt stack drivers for TDK Systems bt usb adapter.
*www.tdksystems.com/support/drivers/range.asp?id=1

direct links:

stack driver: *www.tdksystems.com/support/drivers...rl=/download/bt/bluetoothstack.zip&driver=350
pairing wizard: *www.tdksystems.com/download/files/PairingWizard(1).exe

i also have the widcomm device but dialup is a big problem...and the original drivers r nowhere to be found on the net....support has been withdrawn since widcomm was acquired by broadcom.

Well..
As I told earlier..

I have now understood many facts about bluetooth which i never imagined of, also have tried many version of widcomm software on many OS , all patched , but speed of net still slow on widcomm. in bluesoliel max download was 20 KBps, here in widcomm max was i think 1.5 kBps..

So is that givnig same performance as bluesoliel for net ?

is ur dongle fully supported by widcomm? i hope you haf WinXP SP2 installed. hey buddy i haf the original bluesoleil driver cd wid me...the installation files are heavy tho. where do u live?

ps: do a search on bluesoliel patched drivers on net. you may find someting.

did u visit josguides? goto bluetooth guide, there in subsequent pages you will find a direct link to widcomm drivers 3.1.905 on HP's site and to patched files also. try those and let us kno.

ok buddy now all that i can think of is this:

if u dun use ur phone for advanced tasks like bluetooth audio gateway n stuff then uninstall all the drivers and stick wid the basic microsoft bluetooth stack and test performance. do let us kno the results of the tests.
