Sharp ROMs / Cacko Bluetooth Stability Problems?

« on: July 20, 2005, 01:39:23 am »

Thanks for suggesting affix, albert but I am afraid Nokia no longer updates the drivers.

Further to my above post, I have bought a new bluetooth 1.1 compliant CF card (Taiwanese brand Chronos www.chronos.com.tw - repackaged Billionton/CSR/BCSP). I could connect the new card with my Z800i too at max about 13kBs (115kbps) BUT the same connection hang occurs like the Socket Rev E! I did go a further step and issued hciconfig hci0 while in the hang state, and discovered that I could get any response (connection time out from CF card). I could however eject/reinsert the card and reconnect through RFCOMM to the phone afterwards (so that could rule out problems with the phone's firmware as the phone is not in a lock-out state). Any suggestions whether it is a problem with bluez or usbdcore/usbnet as suggested some other forum threads?

I am reluctant to go out and buy a usb dongle just to try my phone on another machine. I also do not have another linux machine aside from my Z.

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Bluetooth Stability Problems?

« on: July 15, 2005, 07:46:09 am »

Hi all,

I also have a Socket Rev E bluetooth card and encountered the same problems with large data transfers. I have a Sony Ericsson Z800i which can give me 3G mobile data transfer rates of up to 45KB over bluetooth but somehow the RFCOMM link always fails and l2ping returns nothing from the handphone. After reading everyone's experience with host-to-host connections on the Rev E card, I am down to the worrying conclusion that there are interoperability problem between 1.0b to 1.1 bluetooth systems. I even turned off encryption too like speculatrix to no avail.

On the other hand, the Socket card works fine with GPRS data transmission speeds up to 10KB. It worked with my trusty old Ericsson T39m (although I had to fix an unrelated problem to do with ppp_async module).

I may try to raise the stability problem in the bluez-users mailing list. I just wanted to warn anyone from using the Rev E card for high throughput uses e.g. UMTS, EVDO or PAN.

Sharp ROMs / Module ppp_async.o

« on: August 06, 2004, 01:35:02 am »

Yay! I managed to compile the above module with zgcc2 and once I did a modprobe, my bluetooth GPRS connection worked like a charm.    So, I can assert that for older bluetooth-enabled Ericsson phones (T68i and older), you have to run the kernel module fix because of a IP framing error in the phones' firmware. Note that this does not fix IRDA connections with Ericssons though.

Incidentally, I tried to 'make zImage' using zgcc2 but I had a line parse error in stdio.h (are the zgcc2 include files somehow different from typical cross compilers?). I skipped that step and therefore ran 'make modules' without a modversions.h file. Since my Z did not complain about kernel versions during modprobe, I guess my compiled module is ok. But I wish I could fix the stdio.h error and finish compiling my own customised kernel image. Can anyone help?

Sharp ROMs / Module ppp_async.o

« on: July 23, 2004, 07:34:47 am »

Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has compiled the module ppp_async.o for the SL5600 and Sharp ROM 1.32 before. I'd like to try and use the module to initiate a pppd session with the option flag_time=0.

I have an Ericsson T39m (firmware R4A) and Socket Bluetooth Rev.E which I can't get to work together in a GPRS connection. I can successfully authenticate and connect to my network APN but there is no flow of data between the Zaurus and phone. Oddly, I can surf without a problem in a CSD connection (although I never set the baud rate more than 19200 then). I'd appreciate it if anybody knew I could debug the problem further.

If anyone has the module, please reach me at jccmATebuzzDOTcomDOTmy - thanks.

5x00 General discussions / Problem using Irda Modem connection via SonyEricsson T68i

« on: April 20, 2004, 09:02:25 am »

I succeeded in connecting my 5600 to an Ericsson T39m via IR by following ZDevil\'s method of connecting thru the browser (Opera), and I am using Sharp ROM 1.32 without maslovsky\'s irda tx kernel patch. However, I found that I had to abort and repeatedly retry the connection to get the phone to dial out / connect to GPRS. Once it did start to connect to my phone service provider, the IR connection between the Z and phone remained stable. So for those Ericsson users who are unable to recompile their kernel to include maslovsky\'s fix, this method will hopefully be of help.

BTW, I had to set the communication baud rate to 19200 in the Network applet. I could not get 115200 to work.  :roll:
