Hi. I was previously ActiveSyncing ok via my bluetooth dongle, and then I installed Towa's bluetooth fix, which works great with my GPS system.
However, now I can't ActiveSync with my laptop anymore.
It could be something else, but before I waste a lot of time on this, I just want to know this. Has anyone managed to get the Towa fix working with both GPS and ActiveSync? If someone says yes, I'll persevere with sorting things out my end, though I'm thinking that maybe there's a conflict?

/me says yes. Or, to rephrase, that: right at this moment my MDA II is talking to both my Fortuna Clip-On Bluetooth GPS and my desktop machine via bluetooth simultaneously. ActiveSync and TomTom both run, and both work without a problem. I have Towa's patch installed, or course.
Occasionally, however, ActiveSync on my desktop machine (!) seems to lose contact to the Bluetooth dongle. Rebooting helps. Did you try that? Also, a soft reset of the MDA cannot hurt.
Cheers
Daniel
Many thanks. I've got up and running myself. Turned out I had to re-install my bluetooth dongle on the PC. Almost certainly nothing to do with the Towa extensions, which have worked flawlessly from the first.

GPS BURTOOTH
hi iv installed software on xda2 and it can see my bluetooth gps but it runs very slowly about 500m behind me is there any way of speeding it up please as i need it so much every day cheers everyone
I also experienced the same thing as jgadallah. Towa's patch works beautifully with my BT devices (headset, GPS & AS) so long as you create the partnership with the PC for activeSYnc first BEFORE installing the patch. BUT I can never activesync with Towa's patch if the patch is installed BEFORE the bond is created with the PC and XDA.
To overcome this, I always create the partnership first with my PC (say after a hard reset) then only install Towa's patch.

This does not sound like a problem with the Bluetooth connection (which either works or doesn't), but with your GPS receiver. Does it use XTrac mode? If so, this is a known effect - better reception under difficult circumstances, but a lag of some ten seconds.
There are forums where all this is discussed. Unfortunately, the only one I know is in German - if you understand German, have a look at www.pocketnavigation.de. Otherwise, maybe someone else can point you to an English forum?

Guys help.
I cant download the file.

I have an imate PDA2K which does not have the Bluetooth Settings under the system tab.
I have been able to get the bluetooth paired, a bluetooth serial port setup, active synch setup, etc.
I get as far as the device connecting, but then it just hangs. I can leave it there for 20 minutes and it still just hangs. I tell it to just synch calender and hangs.
Anybody have any ideas?
P.S - I have tried on multiple different machines. They are all running on Windows 2000 SP4, Active Synch 3.8 and the latest iMate rom. Using Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2003.
Hi. I am a newbie. Received a new Jamin yesterday to replace an imate PDA2. Works great so far. Only 2 problems.
I use Avantgo and previously synced successfully with Activesync 4.1 from my PDA2. However, although Avantgo is correctly set up and I can sync from the Jamin itself when it is in the cradle, I cannot get Activsync to sync automatically on connection. Would appreciate any suggestions. It worked fine with the PDA2 so do not understand why not.
All my old software works with WM 5 except that I use Worldmate Standard Edition. Activsync does not sync and the program itself will not open. I am presuming it is not able to cope with WM 5 but would like to know if others have used successfully.
Thanks for the help.
HI
I have found that when i STOPALL running programs, ActiveSync restarts itself a few moments later.
Has anyone else noticed this? Should this be happening ?
My Vario is not connected to the PC when I do this.

Yes it seems to do that with all the wizards - annoying as it uses some ram, but i ignore now
Hi all,
Everytime I use Tomtom V6 on my Orange M600 I have to delelte and re-pair my BTGPS unit. If I don't then the Tomtom software cannot seem to see it. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, has anyone found a solution?
Well, i also have this Problem. I also use TomTom 6 with a BT GPS unit, and after every softreset or longer disconnect i have to re-pair the device and enter the code. If i don't TomTom will not see the device any more. I haven't seen any thread with a solution yet.
On my XDA Mini with WM2003SE i never had this problem, so i guess it is a WM5 thing.
Is anybody here who can help me. I have the german Rom 2.15.4.29 GER. Radio Rom is 02.19.21.
Maybe there is a way to fix it in the registry... nothing else is installed yet.
Thanks in advance ... Marc
Ok, can be closed.
The solution is:
uncheck the security mark when installing the com port
Cool, thanks matey. Works a treat
