I'am allways used the tom tom navigation software in combination with a garmin etrex. Happilly joined using com1. However, after upgrading to rom 3.15.15 I lost com1. when trying to use com2 my xda almost isn't able to response anymore. So obviously something serious is conflicting.
Does this problem sounds familiar to you. Or does someone know how to enable the com1 again??
Thanks in advance
Make sure you have the IR autoconnect turned off.
It works, thanks. Sometimes life is simple if you know it

My blue tooth fortuna clip on will not respond to the XDAII with the updated rom, which suports serial ports. has anyone else had this problem, do I need to down load the BT tools patch again & if so can some one remind me of the web address

HI i have the GPSmart BT verision
and i have alos updated the ROm on my XDA II
all i can say is it works very very well i did have a delay when using
TOMTOM and that has now gone
Hope this help you out
I am also using the BT GPS Clip-on with the XDA II. Works perfectly after the O2 update. I'm using Tomtom 2 with the 2.09 GPS update from their website. Im not using it with the com port option, I'm using it as a Tomtom BT device.
Foruna clip on problems
I still can't get the tom tom gps driver to recognise / show information from the Clip on BT gps. I downloaded the latest driver from the tom tom site but still no luck. tom tom's gps drivers do not show the fortuna clip on. I have tried rebonding it with and without the serial port option. When I'm in the tom tom GPS page what GPS driver do I need and what com port do I select and do I need to set it up as com port 5 when I bond the gps????????
Well if you have the rom upgrade installed and you are using V 2.09 of the TOMTOM GPS drivers you can select
the device a TOMTOM Wireless GPS
and set the com port bit to Bluetooth GPS
I use this setup and have never had a problem
Hope this helps
I tried that but no luck, it would not show any satelite info on the gps pages. I notice in the blue tooth settings you can select com ports 4 & 5 for recieving and transmitting , what should these be set to? also when you bonded the fortuna, did you select the serial port option ?
Ta :x
Hi
It souds like you dont have the latest ver of the gps drivers fromtomtom installed
on V2.08 there was no mention of Bluetooth so i think you have that ver installed
And yes when i bonded with the GPSMART it asks me if i want to use the serial profile
Do you have ver 2.09 ? if not i can post it on here for you

I too have same problem - have 2.09 gps but now not getting info, it bonds ok, but won't display any tracked sats, do i need to say yes to serial when bonding?
Yes you must say to to it or it will not work
(that is if you have the updated Rom installed)

All working now :lol:
now the back light drops out
I have tried reloading the ROM upgrade and reloading the Tom tom 2 software and latest drivers from the Tom Tom site (ver2.09GPS driver)
I still am having problems with the fortuna GPS. In tom Tom GPS it does not show any satelites and the little sat dish to PDA legends on the right hand side show no communication
Now the Back light drops out without warning and when I check the back light settings it has reverted to no back light on the battery power! (yes the battery is fully charged) and I keep getting a communication error popping up saying (cannot start communications with desk top computer" and the XDA 2 is not even in it's cradle
HELP!!!
I'm tempted to send it back to O2 for them to sort it out. :evil:
I have used fortuna gpsmart with xda2 with standard rom and had no problems, is it possible for you to download the launchrom from the O2 site and see if that will get you back where you started. You could also try unbonding everything then after loading the latest bthtools rebond and try that.
It worked fine with the original ROM & BT tools patch. I cant find the original rom on O2's site. May be I downloaded a corupt version even though it said updated ok? It took so long to down load on a dial up connection ( Damn XP at work on a broad band connection wont let any one apart from the administrator download programs!!!)
Do O2 send out discs with the rom update on them?
Also just noticed, when I try to turn it off on the power button all that happens is that the backlight turns off and the isplay is still there allbeit very faint. Still at least my BT200 works now!
I had the same problem for a few days after I got the Fortuna, but all went OK, not sure how I did it really, just kept, trying
I wonder if anyone can help me with a problem, sometimes I want to start TomTom2 with no GPS, just to do a quick route for someone, but when I start it, it locks up (presumably cause it cant find Bluetooth), I cant go into the GPS app to turn GPS off with the tick. The only way I can do it is turn on the Fortuna, THEN untick in the GPS app - very messy. Is there anyway to start TomTom without GPS/Bluetooth active?
Hi everyone
up until today i was using a 3970 with tomtom2 and a b/tooth emtac receiver.Bought a xda2 today and firstly cant get the emtac to bond with thexda think im using the correct passkey of 0183 but the xda keeps saying invalid bluetooth pin :?:
any ideas as im pulling my hair out here,also on a similar subject cant seem to get the xda to even recognise my b/tooth headset,a hbh 30 which was working fine with the ipaq.Hope i can get these issues sorted as the Xda looks great.
Regards
nige
Ohh..well... WELCOME to buggy XDA2 bluetooth!
Try to install the new Bluetooth Tools Patch,maybe fix the prob man!
Regards
nigelfish
I have a rebadged emtec receiver and can confirm that you need to install bluetooth tools (even with the latest ROM).
I have rebonded this thing many times due to ROM upgrades and hard resets, the other day it would not accept 0183. weird. A soft reset fixed this problem.
Thx for the swift reply guys,i will give it a go asap
watch this space
ah well thought it would be to easy,i downloaded the bluetooth tools and still not accepting the passkey of 0183 just saying invalid bluetooth pin.Any other ideas guys?
nige
this may be a stupid question but are you using the keyboard or transcriber to enter 0183?
The keyboard is the way to go here as you can't confirm if transciber is recognising correctly.
emtac problem sorted
Hi evreyone
got the emtac problem sorted thx,passkey turned out to be wrong should have been 2003.So tomtom seems to be ok now,but still cant get my hbh30 bonded,not even seeing it when im on discoverable,so again any ideas would be welcome,and once again thx for all your help with the emtac problem
nige
Update
Hbh 30 now bonded but having trouble/or could be me getting used to it ! /
i can acept calls into the headset ok but making a call from the xda i cannot use the headset just the xda to talk with.Anyone using the microsoft voice command?
Just would like to be able to have full hands free when in car.
Thx for any help offered.
Hi all,

ive got an XDA2 and have tomtom 3 sat nav software, ive bought a gps reciever exactly the same as this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4668&item=5717153957 but cant get it to work.
first it crashed everything and i had to hard reset just to get going again, i now have just windows and tomtom running but am gettin an error that com1 doesnt exist.
any help would be great
digidude
Wasnt there a PPC2003 problem with Tom Tom? I seem to remember reading somewhere that there was a general incompatibilty with the program and the OS.
Have you checked the Tom Tom site for a patch?
go to settings/connections and make sure 'Recieve all incoming beams' is unticked.
it normally steals the com port.
good luck
skipjack, thankyou, thank you, thank you,
saved my life
words cant describe how gratefull i am m8
cheers
digidude
That's getting to be an FAQ for XDA and GPS
i tried every single device using every sinlge setting possible that it would let me, ive turned off the recieving beam, set it to tomtom gps default and it found it instantly
once again
thank you :lol:
Of course if you'd visited our site before you'd have known the answer
like i said ive been reading the site for about 2 months and never needed help, tried a few searches for tomtom, missing com port, gps recievers, but couldnt find an answer, hence the request, and all sorted within an hour, what a top place for xda help, ive recommended to a few
Please guys help me!
I'm fighting to bring a BT GPS with an MDA III to work, but nooo luck and I'm getting very very sad...
I've discovered so far that with the official ROM 1.42 (WM2003SE) it works fine when I manually start the BT connection with serial port service.
Now the problem is that in WM5 and WM6 there is no manual connection ability (maybe another "smart feature") and there is the ****ing GPS Driver of WM. So I'm trying to get a TomTom 6.03 and an iGO to work but nothing at all
Really tried nearly all combinations to configure but zero luck.
It's totally disappointing....
Please tell me how do you use you BT GPS
UPDATE: problem solved with Xplode-s new ROM.
Hello, I've got problem with my bluetooth gps (nemerix).
When I'd like to connect to my pda first I'm looking for new devices in bluetooth manager, then parring and seeting outgoing port. And then I'm starting my Navi aplication. It works.
But, when I'm shutting down gps device, turning off buetooth in pda and start it again I've to all tasks mention above - searching, parring and so on. In my opinion,when it's added to my bluetooth devices and properly parred once it should work every time I'd like to use it, however gps device doesn't communicate with pda.
It's quite annoying, why I cannot just start my gps device and my navi aplication and run - I spend a minute with setting connection.
Do anybody know how to fix my problem?
Are you using a custom rom? If so it could be a problem with the rom you are using. I've had the same problem in the past and a different rom fixed the problem.
I've got now Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full, which rom are you using -RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10?
Have you tried "Pocket Buetooth Tools"? You can find it here: http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/download_e.html
I hade major problem pairing my BT-gps to use with Tomtom before I found BTTools.....
I'll try, thanks for advice
