Hi,
I'n bought an Oasis Bluetooth GPS Reciever. Is paired it with my Universal according to the tomtom install guide find on this site.
Unfortunately I cant get the dahm thing to work.
Tomtom keeps saying: No Usable signal.
Anyone got an Idea?
thnx
Have spent a long time trying to get my tomtom5 navigator working on my mda and now have it all going lovely - however I cant get my bluetooth reciever to be seen by tomtom. It is one of the BT-77 one that you see loads of on Ebay - did used to have it working with my old phone but not this one?
Any ideas - cant give up now!
Thanks
ROger
I have the same problem with an xdalls with a BT338 bluetooth gps.
I can get it to pair up. Tomtom5 does not see it though. Been thru all the settings that i can thing of.... i have the blue light flashing fast and then just logs off.

I have the BT-77 (also from ebay) and it works perfectly with the TomTom 5.21 software...
I had trouble with it initially too- it's to do with setting the right COM ports.
To get things working, I downloaded and installed Pocket Bluetooth Tools:
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/ Download version 1.0.1.2
Delete any existing pair that you may have with the GPS receiver...
Re-pair the device with the above software installed, and now you will get an iconic menu, use the serial port option and select an available COM port. Complete pairing procedure as per on screen instruction.
Now start up TomTom and go to GPS options in preferences- select 'other bluetooth device' and now you should see the something called 'BT on COMx' x being the port you assigned earlier of course. Complete configuration.
Wait for the receiver to get a fix and you should be ready to go.
I've used the Pocket Bluetooth Tools many times on different variants of the Magician and has work everytime.

thanks for the help

Hi!
Just registered to try and find out how to get my MDA II working with a bluetooth GPS and I find this thread. Thank you for the link to the bluetooth tools it seems to have worked a treat.
Cool. Glad it is working for you guys.
The software also works well with using Bluetooth and ActiveSync.
I would appreciate any help offered,
I have searched the threads but have not found much applicable
My problem is that I cannot get My Universal to talk consistantly to the Rikaline 6033 GPS the BT link will not stay up.
I am using a T-Mobile Universal with the excelent
JASJAR_WWE_19096_19505_11300_AKU_3_2_ship Rom
The only way I have found of getting the GPS to talk to the Universal BT
is to install "Virtual Earth Mobile",
get it to pair with the Rikaline GPS
and then run TOMTOM 6
TT 6 will then recognise the GPS on COM0
Every time I switch it off and back on I loose the conection and have to go through the whole rigmarole to get it to go again.
I have tried opening the other comms with WM5GPSfix but it doesn't seem to help
If someone has managed it and can let me know I would be very grateful
TIA
A side issue,
What is the reason that the first connection with AS 4.2 takes so long?
Thanks
I just recently upgraded my 8525 to the new AT&T Rom update and can't get my Tom Tom One to pair correctly with the 8525. On the Tom Tom it says no services are available.

There is lots of advice here and on http://www.modaco.com/HTC-Hermes-HermesMoDaCocom-f204.html but you ned to be clearer about what you need help with. Are you Blutooth pairing a Tom Tom GPS Receiver with your 8525? Can you get the 8525 to actually pair with the receiver succesfully?
Sorry but you may already know all this - but it's unclear and I see this is your first post. There are plenty who can help if you can provide more information.
Regards
He's trying to pair a TomTom One GPS Navigation unit to the 8525. Likely to access online services like traffic, weather, etc..
As for an answer on the Bluetooth, the only thing I can think of is make sure you can pair other devices, and give the phone a reset. My bluetooth acts wierd sometimes and a reset is all it needs.
What services are you trying to access from the 8525?
I am trying to update traffic info on tom tom via the data connection from the 8525. The 8525 sees the tom tom when looking for devices and tom tom tries to pair with 8525, but it will fails with the following message
The required features could not be found for this phone.
*bump* I have exactly the same problem! (running Black 3.0.1)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions??
I love the Hermes, but unfortunately going to have to return it to provided in a few days if there's no way of getting a Bluetooth DUN profile working with the TomTom. Damned Microsoft!
Any solution for this would be greatly appreciated! Is there perhaps a replacement stack available which would solve this?
Nick
*bump*
Are there any ROM experts out there who could answer this definitively?
I need to know if there is any possibility of the Bluetooth DUN being added to WM6, or if it's been done, as I need to return the phone to T-mobile in the next few days if there is no chance!!
Much appreciated...
Nick
Bump. Is there no solution for this problem of bluetooth DUN support at all right now? Would appreciate if one of the knowledgeable techies here could answer.
Otherwise the Hermes has to be returned tomorrow, which will suck. lol
TIA, Nick.
same problem here. seemed to work fine until i upgraded to new rom from att. so im sure the problem is within the rom
I just purchased my 8525 and can't get it to pair with my TomTom One. My 8125 worked just fine. Anybody find a work around? Are there any cooked roms that it will work on? I'm happy to upgrade a rom if it makes it work.
TIA

None of the cooked roms have DUN in them. Stupid MS decided that PAN was much cooler so they removed DUN making bunches of devices unusable with the Hermes.
Hi,
I am trying to connect my Tomtom GO 500 to the universal through bluetooth (it should be able to get the traffic situation, the weather and it should act as a handsfree), but the tomtom cannot see the universal at all (but it can see my neighbour's phone!), even if it is in discoverable mode.
I read on a blog that the problem is the universal does not identify itself as a phone but as a pc, is there a way to change this?
Any other solution?
Any help will be greatly apreciated!!!
I've also tried this and couldn't get it to work. I think it might be something to do with DUN not being available in current WM builds anymore. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I think I will give a try to the widcom bluetooth stack, it is possible this will solve... MS BT stack has never been very good
What about this one? http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
I got this info from this forum...
I don't think this will help... the problem I am having is not the phone not being able to discover tomtom as an handsfree - with tomtom things are quite different, it is the phone that must be discoverable!
Anyway, I will give it a try... do you know if they have a trial version?
