Hey there,

I am new to bluetooth, so I just wanted to see if anyone is having any success with the WM5 bluetooth stack? I have a Motorola HS820 headset, which I have been completely unable to pair to my x51v.

I have seen a few other posts about Dell's shoddy treatment of customers when inquirering into the bluetooth problems, and I am wondering if anyone has found a device that is %100 compatible? I also use an MSI bluetooth USB adapter, which works on every other device, but will pair with my x51v, but can not find any services. When I try to pair, the serial connection goes green, and Activesync starts up, but then it errors our, and the serial connection is lost.

Has anyone been able to find a way around the limitations of the WM/Dell bluetooth stack. or are we all waiting for an update from Microsoft or Dell?

It's not a question of compatability. It's about a very poor implementation of bluetooth by both Dell and Microsoft. I have 3 computers, a cell phone,a headset, and remote speaker (for cell phone), and 2 Pocket PCs - all with bluetooth. They all do everything you would expect in respect with one another, with the exception of the Axim x51v.

The Axim will not sync over bluetooth with any of the 3 computers (using two diferent brands of usb dongles), it will not recognize any headsets, and although I can exchange pictures with the cell phone (Razor V3) - it will not discover any services for the phone, or vice-versa (I can exchange pictures by using the "send to" function).

The Axim will only discover serial port services on the three computers, but if I play around enough, about 1 out of 20 times it will discover activesync on my work computer. But it still won't sync.

Everything I have that is bluetooth works with everything else - with the exception of the Axim. The only difference is that the Axim uses Microsoft's bluetooth stack. BAD DOG, BAD!!

I have been going over the MSDN and Dell forums, and I can not find anyone talking about this problem. I can not believe that only the users at Aximsite would be the only ones to see this problem. Is there any other bluetooth software that can be used, or do all pocket pc's only use the embedded OS bluetooth stack? (my last PPC was an HP H3950 without bluetooth)
