GPS via navicore SIRF III

I have recently purchased a navicore SIRF III but when i use it with tom tom on my hermes (WM6)I can connect it to the hermes via bluethooth with no problems but I can not get it to connect to a satellite. Tom tom asks me about what com port I am using im not sure what the correct settings are can anyone help me out?
I noticed on the hermes I have external gps settings? also when i connect the device when i search for the device on a tab it has COM ports which has no settings in.

OK I have the same proglem whit my IGO plus, but the solving problem is very simple, the com port is 0, do not use auto search, simple assignee com port 0
in your navigation software.

Well indeed I have used com0. But actually you can use others like 4 and 9. If one does not work try another. (You may need a soft reset between changes in port settings)
Heres a little bit of info to help you know if what you are trying is working:
In the tomtom satellite screen (the one that shows a series of columns for each satellite - there is a useful verbal comment at the top of the screen it will say one of three things:
1
No GPS Device - (always says this initially for 2/3 seconds. If things are set correctly it will move to 2 (below) but if your ports are wrongly set it will stay on No GPS Device)
2
No Valid GPS Signal - (means it has found the GPS device, you have the ports set correctly and it is now trying to find satellites - anything from 2 or 3 seconds to several minutes if you this is the first time you are using GPS, it will then move to (3 belowi) if you are in range of satellites). Make sure you have an open clear view of the sky at least for the first time you are doing this step.
3
Other NMEA GPS Receiver (or similar)- (says this when locked on to satellites and working correctly)
The above 3 steps are useful just to check whether the setup and port is correct. Even if you do not want to use tomtom it's worth running it at least once just to iron out any port problems.
Mike
NB if you find yourself going round in circles with this and not getting anywhere - clean start by deleting the T partnership turning of the BT device, doining a soft reset. Now start again - what can happen is that after making several port changes etc, you can find that even when you pick one that should work, it doesn't - hence the need to clear out previous failed attempts.
Thankfully once you get it working, it generally works fine after that. (A good reason to have a full backup programme like SPB backup - it saves you the hassle of going through this kind of thing ever again - on this device at least!).
Navicore works well. I use the Sirf Star 3 slim - It's tiny and works well from my pocket:

Very funny, and how do we hear what's on the radio?
With the plug in the phone the internal speaker is off

Not if you press "Menu" then "Speaker" from within the app!

If the radio works with a 3.5mm adapter plugged in i.e. no wire/aerial, then we would know its possible to use the radio without the headphones as the aerial.
Would this be a good place to start because then we at least no whether it is possible????
like this

Car bluetooth

Hi everyone, I rooted my x10 the week it was rooted and since that time have always had an issue with my alpine w505 head unit and the blue-tooth.
It works but i have to turn the volume all the way up on the car audio to just barley hear anyone.
I was not to concerned and figured it was just a glitch and was waiting for android 2.1. well with the delay and pending release of the android update I decided to update my x10 from 016 to 026. I did a clean install and thought my blue-tooth issue would be gone, well it it the same.
The alpine unit works fine with my wives nokia, but my x10 is horrible.
I can tell you that it worked great with the default rogers rom. which makes me believe that it's an issue with the packaged files I'm using.
I used the rom from post 4 in the android development thread. as i was going to try and just update. but I did have an issue and decided to do a clean upgrade.
Has anyone else had an issue with a car blue-tooth device? or does anyone have the alpine w505?
Thanks

You are lucky the bluetooth works at all.........................................
The prime reason for me wanting 2.1 is so that the SE flagship experia can do the things my 2007 K800i does..........................................................

ok is everyone having issue's with bluetooth and android 1.6? or is this a x10 issue?

I have a parrot CK3100 and everything works fine, i have to set the volume half the way because it sounds too loud.

I bet you can't voice dial and the phone book does not transfer though!

I have my xperia on xxxxx24 working in a fashion with a nokia kit. In the menu, you have an option to keep the lights on for development purpose. Say yes to this. Re boot phone, switch on Bluetooth, connect, stick in car charger and it doesn't disconnect while lights are on cos x10 don't sleep.....

I can confirm the X10i works flawlesly on the Bury C9060 too, and syncs phone book, also A2DP music works as it should, it never loses sync and bluetooth is available after approx 5 secs of starting the car.
You can also change tracks from the C9060 and voice dial is imo better than the parrot, I checked every device before going for the C9060.

I can't sync my phonebook on my jvc unit or look at the name of songs that are playing off my phone when I use bluetooth streaming. It works fine with the bold and iphone though

Here i am
This is how the Agenda looks when you sync a phone that it isn't able to transfer your contacts(my old LG viewty for example):
X10i linked with parrot, notice the icon located at the low right side, that means it is transfering your contacts:
This is how Agenda looks now:
Let's see if it works...
Yep, working
You can check Exif data to view time/date of the pics and the camera(x10i ), it links 5 seconds after i turn on the car, never disconnects, however i can't do AD2P since parrot CK3100 can't support it

OP-- this sounds stupid but it happened to me so check. The media volume for bluetooth is different from the media volume coming out of the speaker/headphones. Try turning up the volume on the phone.

[Q] Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-214 Works on Defy ?

Hello,
I just bought a Defy a month ago and its awesome.
Does the Nokia BH-214 works on Defy ? In eBay India there are many OEM version of BH-214 are there for about $16.
Any one using it on Defy ?
Also recommend me other bluetooth stereo headsets.As i ride a lot i need the earplugs to be inside my helmet.
is there any other way (except power amp) to control music through the normal headset which came with Defy ?
Thank you,
Hari

I've tried an original Nokia BH-214 and it works. It's not as good as directly to headphones (tested with some good IEMs). But it works and it's pretty decent.
Have a nice day!

BH-505
Hi !
I bought a Nokia BH-505 (hands-free + speakers)...

The price is correct... about 45€ in many shops like Virgin or Fnac.
The sound is more than correct, the mic is a little misplaced (can't call with it in the train because of the ambiant noise, but i can in the street), it has buttons to play, stop, answer call, FWD, BCK, VOL+ and VOL- !
This headset is aslo water-resistant (not waterproof !).
So, ... I LOVE BH-505 !
PS : Any bluetooth headset normally is compatible with ... any recent and decent phone... because they all use A2DP (for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and those with remote controls like BH-505 also use AVRCP (for Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), with is a standard.
Wikipedia :
Operating Systems supported
Android:
Android version 1.6 (Donut) and all subsequent versions support A2DP.

I will order it assuming it will work on defy.
I need something which fits inside my helmet so will buy BH-214.
Thanks for the clarification
I know bluetooth works on any model but I just want to know if the music control button works.

A-Sure S3OVB bluetooth issues...

Hi all,
Recently bought an ASURE S3OVB (see link: goo.gl/FXsks9 [URL shortened to prevent cluttered post]) and installed into my 2010 Vx Zafira B. Everything is AWESOME and i really love the headunit, however I seem to be having difficulties with the Bluetooth connection.
So. My phone (Archos 50 Power) pairs up OK with no issues, but when I go to place (or receive) a call with via the phone itself or the headunits Dialler, the call is placed and connected OK but the audio is still coming out of the phones ear-piece, UNLESS i press the button underneath the END CALL button (pictured below).

}
I have also noticed that, on the phone, no matter whether the bluetooth is connected or not, the icon (circled in the picture below) is ALWAYS set to phone ear-piece, and NEVER sets itself to BLUETOOTH, HOWEVER even if i place a call and change this setting to BLUETOOTH manually, the call audio is STILL routed through the phone's ear-piece.
What Im trying to establish is the following....
1) Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem with one or other of my devices?
2) If there IS a problem with one of my devices, Which one is it? Both are pretty much NEW devices, and thus if I need to claim on a warranty, I want to claim on the correct one!
3) Is it likely a software or hardware issue? If so is there an easy (-ish) fix? I have toyed with SOUNDABOUT from the play-store on the PHONE, but have had no success (although there are a LOT of settings!)
Any help will be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Do you have any other bluetooth devices connected? Mine was something to do with the smart watch i was using (alcatel gowatch). I have since gotten a new watch (sony smartwatch 3) and the issue is resolved. Hopes this helps!
