Bluetooth license has 'expired'. What the deuce?

STi Sev · 09-09-05, 02:33 AM

I get this message quite frequently from BTTrayCE. What the hell is it?

"Sorry! Bluetooth can no longer be used because license is expired."

I bet your rom is A02 - just softreset and if you get this too frequently upgrade the rom

NO. I am upgraded to A05 ROM already. But this still always happen.

Jukov · 09-09-05, 03:35 AM

hmm, I have actually had this error a few times but since the upgrade to A03 I have never experienced this error again

STi Sev · 09-09-05, 12:38 PM

I'm A05. My friend who gets it is A03

I just ordered my X50v.
What is AO5?(what does it stand for?) And will it come on my system?...do I need to upgrade to it? Is there some sort of patch you need to download?
Thank for your patience.

I have A05 and I got this message once. Only once. Never got it again and won't worry unless I do.

A05 is the ROM version, if you just ordered your X50v, it should come with it already installed. You can check what version you have by Start-Settings-System-System Information. The ROM version will be listed there, 6th item down, A05 is the latest for the X50 series at this time.

You're shutting it down incorrectly. Your're probably soft resetting with BT running instead of disabling BT before doing a soft reset. I always get this message if I happen to soft reset with BT enabled. If BT is disabled, you should not get this message.

This message is notorious on the Widcomm/Broadcomm stack. Just about every device that has it has run into this message at one time or another. There are a number of causes though lawman's suggestion is most likely for yours.

Nope, My Bt connection 80% of the time is on (including while , shutting down, softreseting , you name it) - no errors!

I don't think he's saying that shutting down while BT is on WILL cause this problem, but if this problem is occurring then shutting down while BT is on is the most likely culprit.

Kind of like how all peanuts are legumes, but not all legumes are peanuts. =)

The same problem happends to me. The wierd thing is, I do everthing the same and it comes up ramdomly. I mean sometimes it comes up with leaving it on in a soft reset and then other times it doesn't care. I think its just a harmless bug in the bt stacks.

That's exactly what I mean. Don't do it! Disable Bluetooth BEFORE you shutdown/soft-reset your PPC. Then see if you still get those pesky BT error message. You shouldn't be getting them.

i get it everytime i softreset with BT on. i m on A05. but interestingly enough, i never get this crap with A02-A04
