I'm having a strange problem:
I bought an PS-3100 BT GPS reciver and I am unable to pair it with my HTC.
When I try to pair it, I am asked for a password (acording to the GSP reciver manual it is 0000). I will allways get an autentication error, and I am asked for the password again and again. if I leave it blank, a message apears telling me that the GPS reciver wants to make a connection with the HTC and asks for a password again. this time, if I put a password there (any pass, be 0000, or 1234 or whatever), the BT app will hang. The pda is still usable, but the BT page stays hung!
I'm running the latest imate firmware. I tried with the beta and the one after that (the most recent). I tried with another GPS reciver (same model) just in case it was faulty. Same thing...
I'm out of ideas?
anyone can help?

My spv doesn'twant to pair with the tomtom gps bluetooth receiver, It recognizes it, asks for the pin, accepts pin and the device is accepted, then when I use the tomtom and configure tomtom software to the recievre, nothing happens and keeps saying no gps recievr, and when i go to bonded device i find the reciver gone from directory (not thier any more). I tried resetting the device, removing the tmtom and reinstall it...but no way. Any ideas mates?
I use tomtom 5.0, and tomtom gps receiver MKII
Hi all,
Just go the xda through work, and even though i have got the new version of tom tom of their website (5.2) for ppc, when loaded and docked in my cradle, it cant sem to get the GPS to receive!?!?! anyone else had this problem?
I have an O2 XDA Exec and its working fine with the TomTom 5.2 software. I got some very useful info from http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6 ..... basically a post on there advised setting up an outgoing com port to the BT GPS device (I used Com0) ... this is found under Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth>ComPorts (after you have paired the BT device of course).
In TomTom you then select "Other Bluetooth GPS" in the GPS options screen, select the Com port set previously, and away you go.
I hope this helps
I bought a 32-channel QStarz GPS receiver from eBay, cracking little thing it is. I had problems getting it going though initially - what I had to do was setup a pairing, which was a little tricky as TT didn't want to behave.
Basically, TT tries to establish a serial connection whenever I open it. As TT loaded, just before it went into the TT interface, It showed a dialog box with all my serial connections in - I think it might've been the device pairing screen, but I've not been able to find it again... What I did was pick the gps receiver's serial port device entry I'd previously set up, select it, check the box to tell TT to always connect to this device by default, and then hit enter - all before TT managed to load into the interface. It took me a couple of goes, and I'm sure there's an easier way to do this (I don't think I was even supposed to see this dialog screen ) but now it works perfectly. I don't have to establish the Bluetooth connection to the GPS receiver, TT does that (and it'll even turn the Bluetooth on and off if it's not already on for me). However, I did have to choose Other NMEA GPS from the device options, and then tweak my COM port settings (I found a scant piece of information regardingthe fact that it should be something like COM5 for incoming data and COM6 for outgoing data, you would do well to doublecheck the TomTom site's FAQs for this info). There's a couple of seconds lag whilst TT correctly detects the device and begins to latch onto GPS sats (it says "No Compatible GPS Device Detected!", and then changes to something like "No GPS Signal Detected"... And then starts picking up sats.
This is all with TT5.0, by the way.
This document will be very useful.. principal is the same for most GPS Receivers..

Not sure if you are trying to receive through a Bluetooth GPS receiver - if you are, this worked for me (first poston the page);

Thanks for your help guys, but i meat to say i am using a wired GPS the small square official Tom Tom one, hard wired in to my cradle.
I can open the software and everything, but it just says, cant find GPS, the green light flashes on my GPS, but thats all it does.
Help!
Ok, so you're using a wired receiver.. That helps to know. You should be able to choose TomTom Wired GPS or Other Wired GPS, and it should just... work. If it doesn't, choose the nearest chocie to your receiver, and go into the Advanced settings (if the option button is available) - if so, doublecheck what your COM port settings are.
Where did you buy the cradel from, I just got ripped off to the tune of £48 off ebay due to the cradle not actually passing the srl connection through, all it does is provide power for a Bluetooth GPS Receiver out of the port on the side.
I think I've heard othe rpeople saying that wired GPS receivers will not work with the Universal. Can anyone confirm this?
What you have heard is correct the mini USB on the Exec WILL NOT accept a GPS connection, you need a bluetooth device for this to work - Mike
Tony B - that sounds like the cradle i am using - jasjar or jamjar something like that!
I have put my wired GPS straight in to the side, and nothing!!
think you might have got it mate!

Before anyone says anything, yes I have tried looking.....
I have a problem with TT5.21 where I can connect to the BT GPS several times but then all of a sudden TT won't connect again. The only way I can do it is to delete the pairing with the GPS reciever and re-pair it setting up the COM ports again. It will then work fine 3 or 4 more times and I have to do it again.
I know the GPS works fine as it works perfect on my Alpine (believe it or not).
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, I have this problem too, no set times or obvious reasons as to why tomtom loses gps, still appears in bluetooth device list, but tomtom cannot see it, only way to get tomtom to recognise the gps is to delete pairing and re-pair gps.
Eventually figured it out. When setting up the initial pairing (or was it com port), I cleared the use secure connection radio box and it seems to be fine now.
Thanks for your response though and I hope this works for you too.
Is it possible to use both TomTom (with a bluetooth GPS node) and a bluetooth headset at the same time?
I've managed to do it although that was on an old O2 ROM, not the new one.
Hi
Ok - installed TomTom6
First of all I removed TomTom 5, rebooted and then installed TomTom 6 as per this site:
http://ppcwarez.org/index.php
Ok - so all went well, installed inc UK map fine.
Isue is the Blutooth. I have a BT GPS. So I removed it, repaired it, entered access key of 0000, gave Outgoing com port as 6. Started TomTom , configured GPS to use another Bluetooth GPS receiver, selected com6 and they found each other. The issue is when I turn off the BT GPS unit and the restart it, TomTom wont find it the GPS unit. I have to remove it from the Bluetooth setting on the OS and repair - with the ley being the code of 0000
If I try and pair the TomTom with the TomTom Blueotth GPS reciever - it has the key symbol with 0000 in - but it wont pair. Now, this seems to have been carried over from the previous installation. Can I remove they key for this device - as this may work?
Any ideas?
Scott
i have the same bt gps you need to delete the bt partenship and call it gps only instead of bt gps that should work
Hi!
I have the same problem. Tried to rename to gps, but no luck.
Every time I turn off the Bluetooth GPS, I have to delete the partnership, redo the partnership, assign an outgoing COM port, and then finally tomtom6 sees the bluetooth gps again .....
Any clues?
Thanks.
Hi
I've followed these superb instructions and have got my TT5 working like a charm with my BT receiver. I have one little problem though and I'm wondering if anyone has encountered it too?
I turn on my GPS receiver then fire up tomtom. After a few seconds, I can see that BT gets turned on on my exec, then i get a message telling me that it's trying to connect to my GPS receiver - i have to select yes or no. I obviously choose yes, at which point I'm prompted for the passkey. Once that's been entered, I then get the window where I need to select the serial port service. Once I've done all this, it works fine, but it's a bit of a pain. This happens every time - why can't it remember the settings?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Why don't you configure the device by clicking Start, System, Connections then Bluetooth icon, select devices tab then 'New Partnership.
It should then remember the partnership.
Mike
I've done that. The partnership is there and TomTom seems to know which device it wants to connect to - it just asks for confirmation each time and requests the passkey / services stuff. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Make sure you are running the latest version.
I had this issue with 5, but 5.21 solved it.
I don't think I ever had the issue with my TomTom GPS though, only with my Socket one.
Hi. It's v5.21 that I'm using, I'm afraid.
I've always been confused why people have a problem with the Universal and GPS receivers. I simply paired my device, set up an outgoing COM port (I have two receivers, and set one to COM0 and one to COM4, which seemed to be the only free ports), and simply select those within TomTom (5 and 6).
I've never had any problems.
Cheers,
Steve.
I have the same problem with my M600 and BT GPS receiver. Every time I use Tomtom I have to delete the GPS pairing and re-pair it for Tomtom to find it. Its very annoying. I'm using the V6 Tomtom. Never had this problem with earlier versions.
I take it your config file or SD card isn't set to read only? That might prevent TomTom from saving its settings or something?
Cheers,
Steve.
