MSI Bluetooth Dongle Chipsets?

Hi, I'm looking for a bluetooth dongle which works with skype on my bluetooth headset.
I went through a bunch of cheap ones (ISSC based), and now I'm consdering one from MSI (Btoes 2.0). Can anyone tell me what chipset is in this device? I have had good experience with CSR chipsets, but I can't tell what's inside the Btoes 2.0. The older Btoes appears to have a CSR chipset.
Also, if anyone has experience using either the starkey or the btoes with a Nokia BH-200 successfully I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!

I have the Motorola v80 which has 5megabyte memory.
So the memory front is not the problem.
edit: I read something about getting some security code or anything like that. I have not been asked to register/type in any code/serial of any kind, not during the installation nor durning sessions when using the dongle. I just find this very odd not working. Isnt there any support I could call for this matter. Im located in Sweden, couldnt find any support or telephone number to MSI in Sweden.
I've just bought a product that doesnt work. Thats not fair

MSI Bluetooth Dongle Btoes

Hi there!
Just got this USB Bluetooth Dongle from MSI called Btoes and wanted to connect my Motorola V80 and transferr some cool pictures to my phone. Though there seem to be a problem, I cant transferr any file bigger than 5985kb. If I try to upload a file to my Motorola larger than 5985kb (e.g. 15053kb) the bar goes to 5985kb then stops and after a while a message pops up sayin' "connection was interrupted" or something like that.
How do I solve this problem?
thanks!

Msi bluetooth headset and msi bluetooth dongle

have both, dongle installed and working, but it cant ever find the headset... any idea?

From my understanding the dock for the bluetooth headset was made for the original iPhone. The dimensions of the iPhone 3g are different, so the dock would not be the right size for the phone. You can still charge the bluetooth headset either in the dock that came with it, or with the cable that also was included in the box. Hope this helps

MOVED: MSI Bluetooth Dongle Vista Drivers?

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=106342.0

Quote from: Tiresmoke on 28-January-07, 21:09:36
Who knows. We don't as this is only a user to user forum and no one from MSI is reading this... You could always use the service link at the top of the forum and ask MSI what they are going to release however past experience says they won't share that info with you. They simply don't release info on what they are going to release, instead they just release it when it is ready.
I used the service link after you post and until now i didnt had anything back

MSI Bluetooth & XP SP2 native bluetooth support

I am getting sick and tired of Widcomm's software stack, my bluetooth device will stop working if the computer has been on for a while, it needs frequent resets, etc.
XPSP2 has native bluetooth support. Does this work with the MSI bluetooth devices, without installing any Widcomm stuff?

Thanks to the Secunia security mailing list for this bulletin:
Pentest Limited Security Advisory
WIDCOMM Bluetooth Connectivity Software Buffer Overflows
Advisory Details
Title: WIDCOMM Bluetooth Connectivity Software Buffer Overflows
Announcement date: 11 August 2004
Advisory Reference: ptl-2004-03
CVE Name: CAN-2004-0775
Products: WIDCOMM Bluetooth Connectivity Software
Vulnerability Type : Buffer Overflow
Vendor-URL: http://www.widcomm.com
Vendor-Status: Fixed in release 3.0
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: N/A
Advisory URL: http://www.pentest.co.uk/documents/ptl-2004-03.html
Vulnerability Description
WIDCOMM's products provides a full range of Bluetooth connectivity
solutions for PCs, PDAs, mobile phones, headsets, digital cameras,
access points, and various output devices.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit various malformed service
requests via Bluetooth, triggering a buffer overflow and executing
arbitrary code on the vulnerable device.
On Windows platforms this allows arbitrary code execution under the
context of the currently logged on user account.
Vulnerable Versions
WIDCOMM supply their Bluetooth Communications software to other
companies to allow them to integrate Bluetooth technology into their
devices. They also supply Bluetooth SDK's to enable developers to create
applications that use Bluetooth. Therefore it may not be immediately
apparent that you are using the WIDCOMM Bluetooth software and version
numbers may vary.
WIDCOMM's website (http://www.widcomm.com/Partners/index.asp) reports
the following companies as customers or partners with WIDCOMM:
Logitech
Samsung Electro-Mechanics

Pentest Limited have tested for the reported vulnerabilities against
BTStackServer version 1.3.2.7 and 1.4.2.10 on both Windows XP and
Windows 98 which ships with MSI Bluetooth Dongles. We have also tested
this against an HP IPAQ 5450 running WinCE 3.0 with Bluetooth software
version 1.4.1.03.
Pentest Limited have also written a proof of concept exploit for Windows
XP.
Whilst the above platforms are the only platforms tested and confirmed
to be exploitable by Pentest Limited, discussions with the vendor lead
us to believe that are all versions prior to version BTW & BT-CE/PPC 3.0
are affected by this vulnerability.
WIDCOMM has not confirmed whether BT-PPC/Phone Edition, BT-Smartphone,
BTE-Mobile or BTE are vulnerable.

will be made available for older versions.
Fix
Until version 3 of the WIDCOMM software becomes available from WIDCOMM
or their customers/partners Pentest Limited recommend that end users
stop using the vulnerable WIDCOMM Bluetooth software or set their
Bluetooth device configuration to be non-discoverable or hidden. This
will not stop the device from being vulnerable but it may limit the
exposure.

Basically, cutting out Windows Update as a possible source for a new driver forced it to use the local MSI install files.
Anyone else care to give this a try?
Now I just need to sort out the new hardware serial number nonsense key thing!

Bluetooth dongle not working on bootup

I have an usb bluetooth dongle, inserted it, started bluetooth daemon and everything worked just fine (using kde and bluedevil). However when i rebooted i discovered that during boot the dongle doesn't get initialized so i have to unplug and plug the dongle to make it work.

MSI Bluetooth Adapter drivers

Hello there,
I've got the MSI Bluetooth USB dongle adapter. I had some trouble to get it working, I have a question regarding the latest 1.3.2.7 drivers.
After rebooting the WinXP and after logging in, usually the BTTray.exe locks up, about in 3 cases of 10. The WXP has all the latest patches installed. I tried the dongle at other computers, my friends have the same dongle, and they have trouble with WXP as well :(
When will be available new drivers working without any trouble?
igorage

I have the Bluetooth module and I can communicate with my laptop using it, but when I try to connect to the Microsoft mouse or keyboard it says that I should plug in the transreciever, so I think that there is some problem with the drivers, because the MSI bluetooth is under USB devices in the Device Manager and the Microsoft Bluetooth transreciever under BlueTooth Radios

Bluetooth dongle license that needs the device address

PLEASE HELP ME
I have just bought the MSI BToes Bluetooth Dongle and when i tried to install it, it kept saying that the device cannot be found, i downloaded the latest driver and software and that installed it fine. But it asked for the serial number on the dongle but i do not have one. I went to the WIDCOMM website and it asked for the device address, but i cannot gather mine because the software that i need is not installed because it needs the serial number, and the serial number needs the device address
Can you please help me get out of the never ending circle, PLEASE
Thanks
Ben Evens (Ben13muk)

I take it you mean the Physical Address of the BToes dongle yer? if so i have got that but i can't find where to get the lisence from on the Widcomm site :(
Can some kind soul show me the way

MSI BLUETOOTH Setup. Can you HELP??

MSI 845E Max2-BLR (i845E) Mainboard
Hi
Ive just built a system with the above mentioned MSI board, I chose this board because of the Bluetooth option as my friend is in a wheelchair & needed a short range wireless network to connect his desktop PC to his Laptop to transfer files etc. I thought bluetooth was the best option.
We have managed to Install the Bluetooth antena on the desktop end & the MSI USB Bluetooth dongle (Transceiving Key) on the Laptop end, everything Installed ok with no conflicts or problems showing anywhere.
When we go into the bluetooth software however it reports that theres no signal between the two devices, The system is running Windows XP Professional, do we have to setup a network within Win XP?
Im a complete novice regarding Networking or Bluetooth so if somebody whos maybe got experience of setting up this board with bluetooth could guide me through the setting up procedure of getting the bluetooth up & running
my email is: [email protected]
Many thanks.

Just googled "K800i Apple address book bluetooth sms" and found this link
http://www.fscklog.com/2006/09/sek800i_mitma.html
Its in german but copy and paste 10 points into sherlock and traslate to english.
Very simple to follow, took under a minute and now bluetooth sms and calls work a treat.
Have rehashed the clumsy translation and included below for you
1. Backup your address book and quit the application.
2. Right-click on address Book.app - > ' show Package CONTENTS '
3. Continue to go it into Contents/Resources
4 into Telephony.bundle
Right click ' show Package CONTENTS '
5 As before Contents/Resources to advance
6 Duplicate your ABDeviceCommandSets.plist for security
7 Open ABDeviceCommandSets.plist to with TextEdit
8 Search for' K700 '
9 Copy that string line and paste below replacing K700 with K800
< string>K800</string >
10. Finished. Open address book and test sms and dialing
Now telephone numbers can be dialled and sms sent
Enjoy!
Thanks to Leo...

Motherboard requirements for bluetooth dongle

I have a MSI 845PE Max2 motherboard (without bluetooth, firewire, LAN and all that).
I've now realized that it could be nice to have bluetooth and I've noticed that MSI offers some bluetooth items. My question is:
Can I get a bluetooth dongle (MS-6967 or 6970) and plug in the USB port, although the motherboard itself does not have bluetooth support?
/Gioud

Fantastic! Thanks a lot.
And I guess that if I had a "bluetooth" motherboard, I could get this other "module" MS-6968 and plug it in on the MB?

Star Key 2.0 Bluetooth dongle crashes Autodesk Maya?

After pairing my Star Key 2.0 Bluetooth dongle to my Nokia phone, I was no longer able to launch Autodesk Maya 8.5 (running on Vista 64-bit edition). Maya quits immediately after it finishes loading. If I remove my phone from the list of Bluetooth devices in my Bluetooth settings, Maya loads without any problems.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the Star Key dongle or with my Nokia phone (it's the only Bluetooth device I own, so I can't test this with another Bluetooth device) or with Bluetooth in general, but I wanted to post this information in case anyone else was having a similar problem. I am using the Star Key dongle with the latest MSI drivers (not the Vista drivers). It's possible that this is not an issue if you use the default Vista bluetooth drivers... I'm not sure, as I haven't tested it.
Let me know if you are experiencing any similar problems.

Dongles are allways a pain in the but.
They are a copy-protection and they are known to give troubles in combination with other devices.
Try under XP, it can be well a Vista problem too.
