Here is an quick translation how to install widcomm 1.4.1.4

First download Acer 1.3.2.7 and Dell 1.4.1.4 Software.

http://support.ap.dell.com/ap/en/filelib/download/jump.asp?fileid=R58915&format=71611&location=2

Extract all Files.
Copy license.dat from Acer into extracted Dell-Directory.
Begin install
After Install, software ask for license.dat or licensekey, cancel this step.
Don´t click bluetooth-icon!!
Now we need an Hexeditor.
Open btsec.dll (into c:\windows\system32) with hexeditor.
Patch this bytes:

Offset 0x43EE old Value: 75 4E new Value: 9090
Offset 0x4402 old Value: 75 3A new Value: 9090
Offset 0x4408 old Value: 74 39 new Value: 9090

Save btsec.dll and try it out.
If you can´t edit btsec.dll kill btstac~1.exe before in taskmanager

good info
Thnks, I have CSR bluetoth (1.3.2.7), can ý use this driver ?

[zfrank]

Yes, you can this driver.
But no need.
The newest feature is support of human-devices. If you use bluetooth-mouse or bluetooth-keyboard you can do this with software and in the same time you can connect your phone with this drivers.
No second bluetooth-stick is needed.

[zfrank]

It´s you own risk to use the software. Be carefull with copyright...

i tried downloading the acer drivers but the download doesn't start even after a long wait. i have widcomm, tdk and msi 1.3.2.7 drivers, would it be ok if i used them instead. and would it work with a billionton adaptor?

coming to my main problem... i have a billionton bluetooth adaptor and i've accidentally broken th cd that came with it. i bought a T610 last week and i've still not been able to connect to my phone after trying everything i could and now i am at my wits end :(

i'd be very greatful if anyone could pls tell me how do i install my bluetooth adaptor! i've tried running widcomm, msi and tdk drivers but nothing works. i don't even get a bluetooth icon in my taskbar which by the way should not be because of the hardware because plugging in the hardware comes later on. pls someone help me out here.

thanx.

>i have widcomm, tdk and msi 1.3.2.7 drivers, would it be ok if i used them instead.
Surely yes. I've tried this trick with MSI's "license.dat": everything works just fine! A lot of thanks to bluetoothmaster :)!
Don't miss this thing: "Don´t click bluetooth-icon!!". Additional warning: Don't try to save Advanced Configuration settings before you patch the "btsec.dll" file!!!

>tell me how do i install my bluetooth adaptor!
This may help: Uninstall any existing BT soft from your system, then check your \Windows\System directory for any copies of "wbtapi.dll" and "widcommsdk.dll" files. If any (or both) of them is still there - remove it! After this - install a fresh version of soft as usual.

[sagarka]

can we use this software with n e bluetooth device

[BesTCooL]

I install this driver (I patched dll file) bu phone sending and file to computer but computer not see phone.
I try all way but same problem:(

Phone to computer OK
Computer to phone DONT WORKÝNG

Why?


2nd question. How bluetooth settings for PC suite or OPM (Oxygen Phone Manager) use?

Can I add Local or Client services which?

[ritz_]

thanx for helping out guys... i really appreciate it.

i've come half way through but in dire need of your help again. i know its a pretty long post but pls go thru it and see if u can help me out. here's the story so far:

1) downloaded latest "dell 1.4" drivers and already had widomm
1.3.2.7 drivers.

2) copied license.dat from extracted widcomm directory to dell
directory.

3) after installation i was never asked for licence.dat or
licensekey.

4) edited btsec.dll as told with a hexeditor.

5) didn't click on the bluetooth icon.

and now my problem:

i have the bluetooth icon in my taskbar and even after i plug in my bluetooth adaptor nothing happens. in advanced configuration it says "bluetooth device is not connected".

i got this msg while installing the software that a new hardware is found - "usb controller".

in device manager i now have a "universal serial bus(usb)controller" with a yellow question mark and a exclamation sign under "other devices", i.e. that the device isn't installed properly.

and under "universal serial bus(usb) controllers" in the device manager there is no mention of any bluetooth device.

i'm going insane trying to get my bluetooth to work... someone pls help me out here.

thanx a lot.

@ritz_
First of all - what model of device do you have?
All of Billionton devices I've ever encountered had original CSR's VID=0A12, i.e. they should be detcted by software (see btwusb.inf) as "CSR USB Bluetooth Device".
As a first step, try to install your device manually - update driver for your "universal serial bus(usb)controller" forcing windows to search new driver in \Program Files\xxxx\Bluetooth Software\bin directory.
If this don't help, find an entry for your device in registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\USB\...) and post corresponding VID and PID here.

[zfrank]

I think if ritz_ update driver manually it´s working.
To find vid/pid there is also an good tool available.
Look on this site: http://www.hhdsoftware.com/usbmon.html
This is good, to find out many datas about usb-adapters.

[vve]

Yes, HHD tools are good...but they all have one (sometimes fatal) disadvantage - they don't work under Win98 :)!

Dear All,
I found a website,and contained a 1.4.1.6 version software..
Good news is,it worked for any Bluetooth hardware for USB.
and the bad news is...
this website was built by Chinese

here is the Link:

[zfrank]

I know about 1.4.1.6, normally this version is from dlink and the same release as the 1.4.1.4 from dell.
I download it now and look if the software is patched or originally ;)
More in 1-2 hours
Thx for this info

[zfrank]

looks very good, software is originally
I test it in the evening,

[bosshogg]

As mentioned above by BestCool after followign the above instructions for 1.4.1.4 I can discover, and pair, with my Sony Vaio (XP Pro) via the Belkin F8T001 BT adaptor, but when I try to discover BT devices from the Laptop, nothing is found.

Anyone got any ideas?

I saw the same results after installign the MSI 1.3.1 drivers, yet discovering works OK (but very unstable) under the Belkin 1.2.2.16 drivers.

I noticed in the Belkin drivers their INF file maps their Ascii name onto the Broadcom drivers. The 1.4.1.4 has detected the USB adaptor as Broadcom (firmware 3591).

HELP!! (Please)

[IvanKrasnyj]

I've also seen 1.4.1.6 (GM_BTW.zip) at ftp://216.180.107.234/

@IvanKrasnyj

??? You seem to confuse something...It's original Widcomm's 1.2.2.16 on Billionton's FTP server !

[Dekka]

Hi,

I have followed the above hack method using msi drivers as the ACER download seems to download ok but is corrupt and cannot be run.

When I get to the offset editing the values do not match the ones above.

and even when i change these to 90 90 it still does not work.

Any help would be appreciated or if someone could email me a copy of there .dll file that has been edited already and correctly works and also the licence.dat file.

Many thanks for doing this. my email for these files is derek@stracey.org

Thx

D.

[JETTAGiX]

I installed 1.4.1.4 following the introduce.

But I just can get "Phone Book" in Chinese to Outlook correctly.
Transfer "Contacts" from Outlook to Phone book,the chinese characters are broken.

I tried to use PIM link.

Help!

[DREAMGSM]

Is posible to set up this soft for detection? for example, when I enter to my home, with my S55 with BT activated, the PC detect me and play a sound or run an aplication.

Is only curiosity :)

Thanks & B/R


Sorry for my bad english

Hi All,

It's taken me a few hours, but I think I'm making some progress. I have the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software 1.4.1 Build 6 installed, and it seems to be working. Unfortunately, it can't find/use either of my Bluetooth Adapters.

When I go into "Device Manager" (Windows XP) I see the two adapters under "Bluetooth Devices" and both are "Functioning Properly".

The two devices are:
- Philips CardBus Bluetooth Dongle
- Bluetooth USB Adapter

The Philips is really a Belkin F8T002, and the other is a Hawking H-BT10U.

Any ideas on how I can get the software to recognize and use one (or both) of these devices?

Thanks! I couldn't have gotten this far without the assistance of this Forum!!

I can install and run the driver, but i get always an error message, that no bluetooth hardware was found...

Kind Greetings.

Hi!

I'm starting up this quite old thread because I have some problems. I'm trying the methos with the Dell & Acer drivers (well, not the Acer drivers, but the TDK 1.3.2.7) to get my Microsoft Bluetooth dongle support more profiles. Because after what I've understood it will?

But I can't get it working, I removes the Micrososft driver and starts the installation, but at the part inte the installation where BT kernel drivers are installed Windows detects new hardware and installs the same drivers as before (the original Micrososft that doesnt support anything else than HID).
And I cant manually update the drivers to the Dell ones because then it says that it cant find any better drivers.

Is there anyone that got this working and maybe can give some hint what I'm doing wrong ;-)

thansk for any reply, best regards, Lars

(Btw, Im using XP SP2)

[Mr Floppy]

I use a Billionton USB-Dongle in my Notebbok (internel, on a mini-PCI Slot) and I have problems to run the Widcomm-Software. I took the files here listed and installed them. Then I did the changes to the three files as listed above. After it the Bluetooth-icon was no more red, it becomes white. But as soon as I click on it, it says that the dongle is not connected, but I'm sure it is. Which driver do I have to use to make it work and where can I get them? :confused:
