How can I increase the amount of Bluetooth connections? To enable me to use my bluetooth handsfree and TOMTOM at the same time?
Not quite sure. But as far as we know, the bluetooth hardware built-in can support only one connection at a time.
Several devices can be paired and work at the same time as long as they are not of the same function, meaning 2 bt headsets cannot be used simultaneously but a bt gps receiver and a bt headset is ok.
You need a Virtual Com port/GPS splitter.

Hello,
I wonder if the i-Mate Jam can make 2 bluetooth connections at se same time. I explain myself. I want to make a BT connection with my GPS and also with my BT Handsfree Car Kit.
If this is possible I can use the TomTom soft earing the indications trought the speakers of the car.

Yes it can, I use the TomTom Bluetooth GPS and the BT Jabra 200 headset at the same time with no problems.
I use the standard magician bluetooth stack, no tools or upgrades or anything.
I can confirm this. I tried it with a TomTom Bluetooth GPS and a Jabra BT-250. It worked with the standard bluetooth stack.

Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to use bluetooth car kit on a Wizard at the same time it is using its bluetooth connection to talk to a bluetooth GPS dongle (Holux 236)?
TIA
i use a parrot car bt car kit and the same holux gps receiver sometimes at the same time and have no problems.
I also use a Holux 236 and talk with my earpiece at the same time. I haven't had any problems yet.
Nice one, thanks for that.
This should be perfectly possible.
The Bluetooth standard v1.2 allows a device to connect to multiple devices via bluetooth at the same time.
Not sure on the exact specs, but can imagine the device time splitting data from multiple devices with certain connection types having different priorities?!?!
So, having a BT Headset and GPS at same time - headset device should be ok, but GPS data may be slower to update....
Thanks again.
I regularly use mt o2 xda mini s with a BT headset. If I connect up a BT GPS receiver will I still be able to use my BT headset as well?
Yes. Have been using this way for long time
What is your headset bluetooth version? I had problem with using BT 2.0 headset (HBH-610) with BT GPS receiver. On making calls bluetooth on the device was just turned off by itself. Headset bluetooth 1.2 (HBH-662) works fine with this combination. Looks like microsoft BT stack can not work correctly with serveral simultaneous connections of different bluetooth versions.
I am using plantronics 320, Bluetooth 1.2
And GlobalSat BT-338 GPS
Thanks all.
Am using SE HBH600 headset with the Co-Pilot Sat Nav system with has a Blue Tooth GPS Connection - and it works fine. No Problems.
I have upgraded my BA to WM6 and have found that when using the BT GPS that the GPS will disconnect when I turn on the BT handsfree headset.
Can anyone provided me with some assistance to allow multple BT sessions to be connected.

Thanks baniaczek I will give that a try
baniaczek I have made the changes but it will still not allow gps and headset to connect at the same time.
My problem was this on a Hermes running WM6:
When using TomTom Navigator 6 with an iBlue BT GPS receiver, if I take/make a call with my SonyEricsson HBH-IV835 BT headset, the headset becomes disconnected after approx 30 seconds. In order to be able to use the headset again, it must be turned off/on.
I fixed it by NOT selecting to use "serial port" after the iBlue was paired. I set the program port to com6 and the hardware port to com0. Works both with TomTom and Google maps.
Yeah I had this too.
try this it worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328982
good luck
Hi,
Is it possible to have, say a bluetooth gps and a wireless stereo headset connected at the same time in WM6?
Thanks
Yep
I use a GPS and a bluetooth mono headset at the same time, so there should be very little difference, as one uses a serial port and the other uses the audio gateway.
also i think its possible to have two apps using gps if needed, for example tomtom and cameraware. You have to use the enable gps icon tweak and you then can set a hardware com port and software com port.
