Does anyone know how I can switch off the phone (GSM) part of my PDA but still be able to use a bluetooth GPS? When I try to put BT back on after going into flight mode the Qtek forces me to switch flight mode off and so putting on the GSM transmitter.
Try this tool for example....

Thanks Stefan! Will try out today.

Strange behaviour of RadioOn&Off
I wanted to use this application with a BT GPS Holux 236 and TomTom5, but the GPS fails to communicate with the TT5 software. Pairing is OK and the BT receiver can be seen by the QTek, as well as my handsfree carkit. But the TT5 software doesn't see any GPS!
I tried to start TT5 before using RadioOff and then when TT5 is working together with the GPS I switched the GSM radio off and guess, it works that way!
Stopping the TT5 application and restarting it again doesn't work. So I will have to start the GSM before starting TT5, which is no good for me.
Any other solutions?
The best way to turn off the phone while leaving bluetooth on is simple, All you have to do is make sure you have pin coded your SIM card, so when you soft reset your XDA2i it asks for the pin code, dont enter anything just press cancel the pda turns on but the phone stays off, turn on bluetooth and select tomtom and there you go, toget the phone back on just soft reset.

I don't think so as emergency numbers can still be dialed, so the radio must be on! This way one won't be able to receive calls or dial out a number except 901.

When I attach my QTEK2020 in the car (for use with my TOMTOM navigator) it automatically tries to conect to a certain phone number. Why? is it trying to synchronize anything?
i click on cancel
When i shut the QTEK down, after a while it starts up automatically and tries to call again
i looked everywhere but i cannot find any settings to stop this
can anyone help me please
Dan
Mine dose the same, when i plug in the tomtom cable it start activesync, and trys to connect, i just push cancel and off it goes and tomtom works fine, but it should not do it i am sure

You know sounds that come out of a radio when you put a phone next to it??
Well my xda2i makes the sound when running tomtom and it then freezes and needs a reset.
It does it every 5 minutes!! and i cannot use my XDA2i in the car!!
Any solution to this?
Also if i could switch on flight mode and have bluetooth ON as well would be great. I do not use the phone for calls as its on the data tariff
Anyone know how to use bluetooth in flight mode?
Please help..
I appreciate
Cheers
DJ
anyone as i got a road trip later

Hi the way I turn on the flight mode is thru the profiles option under the tools tab on th o2 today screen, then i turn on the bluetooth and it works fine. If you turn on the flight mode by taping on the signal meter and then select flight mode you cannot activete bluetooth.
Hope this helps.
with the xda2i you need to apply the tom tom upgrades for use with the phone - also worth turning of any email dial up programs.
I also found Tom tom did not like my maps being on the SD card (I had a cheap unbranded one) - kept hanging..
Flight Mode seems to ease the hanging, but at least once a journey it hangs. How do you install maps onto the memory, they are MASSIVE. I've heard installing TomTom on memory and maps on SD card works, just not sure how to do this, anyone know?
Perhaps dj swift should ask the wikids!
I have a problem with my MDA Vario and TomTom Navigator 5.21.
I got it working with my GPS receiver (Holux GR-230) via Bluetooth COM 7.
But I have a second phone with car kit. So I switched the GSM/Phone function off on my MDA Vario and wanted to navigate. But TomTom indicates that it couldn't find a GPS device. So I removed and paired my Holux receiver again. 'New Partnership' could find my Holux receiver. But TomTom again couldn't find my GPS device. I checked if Bluetooth is on.
When I switched the GMS/Phone function on on my MDA Vario everything worked well again. TomTom can find the GPS.
So it seems that if you switch off the GSM/Phone function TomTom can't find the GPS device.
What can I do to get it working without het GSM/Phone function on?
I take it you had switched it into "Flight Mode".
This disables ALL the radio functions and as a result, you are left with a PDA that has no GSM, BT or WiFi.
I suppose the only way to use the unit without any GSM is to take the SIM card out.
I am sure someone will come along and correct me on that, LOL
If you go in the communications manager, you should be able to shut off just the Phone and keep bluetooh and/or WiFi on. I have not tested the ability to use bluetooth in this fashion, but I can't imagine why you couldn't.
Workaround found
Thanks for the reactions.
I am able to shut just the Phone off and keep bluetooh on (by using the communications manager). I even swithced off the Phone and left Bluetooth on and then started TomTom. But it can't find the GPS device anymore.
Luckily I remembered that with a dual SIM only the first SIM that connects with the GSM network has the connection.
So my workaround is:
1. Switch off the Phone off my MDA Vario
2. Turn my other GSM on
3. Switch the Phone on off my Mda Vario
And so I can use my other GSM for phone calls (via my carkit) and use my MDA Vario for Navigation.
Still curious though about how I could get it working otherwise.
Hello everybody, Long time reader first time poster.
I've got a little question I'd like to have answered.
I've got a I-mate JasJam and I use it for a lot of things, one is for GPS. To understand my problem I'm going to quickly tell you what my situation was before.
I used to Own a Ipaq RW6828 (Atom) However, I managed to drop it in a mop bucket and it died. (still sold it on ebay and got 80 bucks for it =D ) So I decided to get a Hermes. Back when I used my Ipaq for GPS, All I had to do was turn on the GPS receiver and run TomTom and it would instantly connect the Receiver to the Ipaq and would proceed in using it.
HOWEVER, now with my JasJam, every time I wish to use the GPS, I have to set it up every time ( select incoming / outgoing ports, etc) Which is a little annoying as when I wish to use the GPS, I don't really wish to waste the time setting it up.
Now this leads to my question if you haven't already guessed, How do I get it to do what the ipaq did and instantly connect the receiver to the PDA? I do know one way in fixing it but it requires an upgrade to WM6, and apparently it voids the JasJam warranty if I do so.
One thing I have noticed is that my Ipaq used to have a GPS settings program in the settings menu under the System tap, and the JasJam doesn't. I'm running WM5, and the GPS receiver is a generic one I got off ebay..
So that's my problem, I'd be greatly in your debpt if you helped me figure this one out.
Thank you for reading all of this, I can be the type of person to ramble on
The way I got it to work
Hi There-
I had the same problem this week - and I found the following solution which now works as we all want it. i.e turn both devices on - start TT and voila.
The way I did this.
1. Go into Settings -> Bluetooth and pair your GPS device.
2. Set the outgoing port (i set up port COM port 9 - though you can do whatever is free).
3. In your TomTom folder on your Hermes - you will find a file called: navigator.cfg - firstly take a backup of this file.
4. Then open this file up (note: i transferred it to my PC for editing).
5. On the first line (or second) of this file - you will see a reference to a COM port.
6. Ensure it is the same COM port as per Step 2 above.
7. Copy the file back to your Hermes - overwriting the original one.
8. Then start up TT and give it about 10-15 seconds and you will see that it will automatically connect - each and every time.
9. MOST Importantly do not EVER go into the COM port settings within the TT app on the hermes - as this will overwrite the 'navigator.cfg' file and corrupt your settings. If you do - then just follow the steps again.
Let me know if it works ok for you.
Thanks
Hi there.
Thanks for the reply, however this didn't work.
TomTom is fine once I pair it. It's the fact that I have to pair the Receiver my hermes every time I turn the GPS on. And set it up under the blue tooth connection settings. That's whats annoying me, TomTom picks up the receiver fine when I set it up the first time, So yeah, it;s more of a Windows Mobile thing that I need to fix.
Suggestions?
Could this be because TomTom connects to the device over bluetooth and thus takes control of it?
I use Navigon Mobile Navigator and that "locks" onto the BT GPS, so when I exit that it shuts down the BT. However, if I've got a BT headset switched on it leaves BT switched on.
Have you paired the device already with your PPC device before you let the SatNav software have it's go?
If it is still not saving the settings then it could be a problem with you're bluetooth. I had this earlier in the week and unfortunately the only "fix" I found was to do a hard reset. Cue a couple hours reinstalling
Ahh well. Good luck and you'll let us know the outcome, won't you?!
Thats a shame it did not work for you.
I take it you have gone through the tomtom support notes like this one?:

JASJAM GPS Receiver Bluetooth connection problem!!
hi guys,
i have same problem when imaking a Bluetooth connection with a GPS Receiver i have jasjam W5 OS when i search my JASJAM finds my GPS Receiver its showing (?) question mark i think it is not recognizing well it pairing also but i don't no how to establish connection with GPS receiver there is no connect option my friend has PDA2K it has connect option he can connect all devices but mine not showing please help me
Thanks
destinator 6
Ok. Pairing.
Switch on your phone bluetooth. Switch on the GPS/BT device. Goto the BT menu on you're phone and tap 'add new device' and hold the gps near.
When it comes up with what you think is the closest match then select and press next. It'll ususally ask you to put a password in. This is either 1234 or 0000.
If this is ok then click next or finish.
You might need to setup a com port on your pda for this phone for some other devices to connect. To do this you'd clck on "Add com port" and then select the device and there will be a way of selecting a com port.
I know it's a bit fuzzy but ive not got the device ihere, and this is all in memory.
Cheers, Elwyn
hi Elwyn M3100 ,
thanks for your quick reply, i did everythg seems working fine but i don't know how to connect pairing no problem and port also but my only problem there is no connect option when i go in destinator it says no GPS found .....
i tried to update my ROM but no result .... im having bad luck
Right. Ok.
1. Do you have the BT GPS unit sucessfully paired to the PDA?
2. When you go into your satnav software, is Bluetooth on you're phone switched on?
THANKX BUDDY ! IT WORKED !!!!!!!!!! YUPEEEEEEEEE
Thanks Again ....

Most SatNav software, once it discovers you have a Bluetooth GPS module take it upon themselves to switch BT on and off on your phone. In one way this can be helpful, but bloody annoying if you've got a BT headset in use too
However. Once you've got it mastered, things look up from there.
Occasionally as well I find that the BT isn't actually on when it says it is, and a soft reset usually cures that.... Anyway. Congrats
I there any way to let our BlueAngle to connect GPS and BlueTooth headset at the same time I use WM6 already with Garmin Mobile 10 (10x) but can't used head set at the same time anyone have some idea to solved this problem
This is indeed a weird issue that is still occuring, the only 'work around I found' is to make two outgoing connections in order to connect them both, usually you have the headset connect towards the blue angel, so in inbound connection, if you connect your BA towards your headset, so in the bt menu really select to connect it, and than connect your bt antenna, this is no problem, I've tried all myself already to resolve this as I use this a lot and no other solution up to know, tried changing registry where you have like max connections on bt and all, but all that doesn't work
Grtz,
Tom

I'm not very sure but if you use HELMI_BA_WM5_BT1.7_TEST.CAB it works, i use BT GPS and a Car handsfree and is able to receive GPS data on my BA and also instruction from BA to handsfree and when there is incoming call i still get it.

Well basically it's rather easy for my as I use Tom Tom and once Tom Tom is powered on it will activate the BT and connect any device already linked to your BA,
So I power my BT car kit, but don't activate my BT on my BA, I wait for 10sec and then my car kit makes a sound like it can't connect (because my BT isn't activated) and so he stops looking but remains powered on, then I just power on tomtom, this activates my BT function and connects my car kit and tom tom antenna immediatly, dunno how this comes but he always does this,
Several versions of tomtom already installed and always works like a charm...
i had a similar problem...
the work around i found is that connect audio first and then connect gps. it'll always work
Have to try this too
I will try these methods tonight then will report back here later on thank a lot for all good ideas here
Confirm
Well Done I found the solution even it not so convinience but it work out
1. Turn Off BlueTooth on BA
2. Turn on BT Headset , GPS
3. Wait for a while
4. Open GPS program for my case is GARMIN MOBILE XT
4.1 MOBILE XT turn on bluetooth then it will link to both device without registry edit at all
5. Enjoy the show and drive safely
I will keep update on testing with these 2 devices.
actually i use garmin que with gpsgate,
b4 starting garmin que .... the audio had to be connected..
It works for me, I use TomTom bluetooth GPS.
The trick is to start bluettoth first manually and then GPS program. Bluetooth headset can be started any time.

What GPSsettings do you use, program and hardware port?
Thanks.
After use 2 BT GPS + BT head set for almost a week everything work great but the only thing you have to aware is do not move one of the device out of range otherwise you will lose the connection from them even you have put them back in range. I notice that by I put headset with me then leave the phone and GPS inside the car after I come back the HeadSet can not be pair with the phone anymore have to turn off and then turn on the BT in our BlueAngle again. However there is only 1 problem i can found out.
New way
Ok I found more easy way I use program camm btIO V0.6 from www.silentservices.de or you can download from
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-btio-bluetooth-tray-icon.html
then just tab the icon to turn on/off bluetooth
however I also use another program call CicleBT then map the button of camera which i don't use much to turn on/off Bluetooth in case have some problem to connect to GPS MOBILE 10x
Hardware port setting also help me sometion no need to turn off bluetooth before enter Mobile XT
