Hi everybody and thanks in advance for any help.
I would like to know if any of you has the same issue using HD and TomTom GO730.
I can successfully establish a BT connection between HD and TT, and I can easily use TT as a carkit.
BUT as I try to download something from TT (for instance updates, voices etc.) TT says there is a Wireless problem and to check my phone. Of course my phone has an active and working GPRS/UMTS connection as I try to download from TT.
Now, I checked TT's website and HD is NOT officially supported. But i would like to know if my problem is somehow related to the ROM I'm using (Panhosa blackpearl 3) or to the "structure" of wireless connection between TT and a non-supported device.
Thank you,
Hileotech
After some hours of trials, I found a (silly?) solution: just turned on WiFi and everything went ok...
The question is: why that? And: why doesn't my HD recognize a new WiFi connection?
Anyway: it just goes... crossing fingers!

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

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?

Ok I've pretty much tried everything, been browsing the boards for over 6 hours for solutions. I've tried everything and just flat out can not get my Bluetooth GPS to work with preetty much any software I've tried. Using the T-Mobile MDA USA model here with Windows Mobile 5.0.
I did the registry tweak and managed to get the GPS Icon in my connections section. Messed with all the settings there, no luck.
I'm using a Ambicom BT-GPS that I used to use with my IPAQ 6315. Worked flawlessly with IGuidance but no luck. The MDA see's the device, successfully pairs the device. But no matter what settings I try to use I just can't get anything good to happen here. Should I abandon the Ambicom GPS? Is it just not going to work with the MDA? Should I try other software? I'm not all about shelling out bucks for software that I'm not sure is going to work.
Is anybody out there using a working bluetooth GPS setup with the USA T-Mobile MDA? What are you using, what are you running and what hoops did you have to jump through to get it working? I don't mind spending a little bit of money if I know it's going to work.
You did not state which model ambicom gps receiver you have but have you tried the updated drivers here for wm5?
http://www.ambicom.com/support/installation/gps/index.htm
hope this helps
Sorry bout that, it's the basic 1.0 version, BT-GPS...
Apparantly they don't let me download it because I don't send them enough money. That only works with their version of the navigator which is basically the IGuidance software re-branded. I do however have the 2.1 version of IGuidance.
That may be your problem then - try to get wm5 drivers for your device - not sure where from.
I am not a gps expert but few of the readers have praised the holux 236 gps and works with the wizard - and has the new gps chip
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44567&highlight=gps
For some reason, my first Holux GPSlim 236 did the same thing (Mapopolis this time). Surprisingly, an exchange did the trick. If you have a friend with a PDA, I'd suggest he try it too and see if it isn't a bad unit. That's the way I found out.

I have had a huge problem with getting GPS software to work with my MDA... the only marginal success I had was when i got Tomtom Navigator working with my Holux GPSlim 236. At first it didnt work, and I thought I hit a road block. But I switched the outgoing Com ports and got it working. But then I realized that I only had the Great Britain maps, so i downloaded the California maps, but the software wont work. I gave up on Tomtom and am going another route. I really cant get it working. Here is the link where I got the software for Tomtom. All other programs wouldnt work because there is an incompatability with Windows Mobile 5.0. This file works. http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3410079 Good luck.
Going a bit off topic (and not very helpful), but i was amazed to find out the BT Handsfree and BT GPS works at the same time
I'm dead happy to be able to talk and use TomTom at the same time. Everyone i asked said you cant use to BT devices at the same time. Great stuff.
Yes I do enjoy the fact that BT handsfree and BT GPS work in conjunction on my Wizard... really nice.
As for the original poster's issues. I use iGuidance with my Wizard (8125) and it was a bit confusing to get going at first. This is what I had to do.
1. Pair the GPS and the Wizard
2. Select the Com Ports tab and set up a new OUTGOING port, it should default to com6. I would uncheck the secure connection box as I don't think you have to have a secure connection to your GPS, but thats just me. If it doesn't work try checking it.
3. In IGuidance select the tools, GPS options, COM Port, and set it to com 6 just like it defaulted to com 6 in the settings above.
4. Tap the GPS icon and see if you have data streaming over the BT GPS connection. Hopefully you do!
I find that iGuidance is a bit strange in that it wants to hit the GPS on the port so it actively goes to the GPS it just does not sit there and wait so that makes things a bit strange. Also you most likely need the 2.1.3.2NA version on your MDA. All other 2.1.3 versions have an issue and won't display the 3D view at all on QVGA devices... its a known issue that they have fixed in this version. Annoying as the DVD did not have this version on it and I ran into the problem and was annoyed until I went to their site and found the issue fixed.
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.

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.
hi guys
need a little help please
i cant get my gps working on my O2 mini s. ive got tt5 and it works but no gps via bluetooth.
i can get it to work on my xda ii and on a ipaq h4100 but i have now sold them........
i just cant get it to pick up the gps!......i have added the bt-gps to the partnership group and added it as com6 (as i did on the other two) but i cant see com6 in the tt configure list. also i am unable to pair the gps as this option isnt available on the mini s.....
any help would be most appreciated.......im going bold
regards
jav
ive tried using the software that reconfigured the coms port in the register but that still hasn’t work.
software i used was GPSCOM, downloaded from here......
any ideas? has anyone got tt5 working on the mini s? am in posting in the right area?
Which version TTN5.0 or TTN5.21?
You will not get BT working with 5.0 without file swapping.
You need 5.21 minimum to configure GPS on a WM5 device. But be aware "older" maps may not run on 5.21.
Run the Update then shut down your device with the main power button. Reboot then configure the BT port in BT Settings.
Start TomTom then configure as "other bluetooth GPS" in GPS Status.
thanks for the reply
ive got v5.0 so will try this update.

Hello, I've got problem with my bluetooth gps (nemerix).
When I'd like to connect to my pda first I'm looking for new devices in bluetooth manager, then parring and seeting outgoing port. And then I'm starting my Navi aplication. It works.
But, when I'm shutting down gps device, turning off buetooth in pda and start it again I've to all tasks mention above - searching, parring and so on. In my opinion,when it's added to my bluetooth devices and properly parred once it should work every time I'd like to use it, however gps device doesn't communicate with pda.
It's quite annoying, why I cannot just start my gps device and my navi aplication and run - I spend a minute with setting connection.
Do anybody know how to fix my problem?
Are you using a custom rom? If so it could be a problem with the rom you are using. I've had the same problem in the past and a different rom fixed the problem.
I've got now Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Full, which rom are you using -RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10?
Have you tried "Pocket Buetooth Tools"? You can find it here: http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/download_e.html
I hade major problem pairing my BT-gps to use with Tomtom before I found BTTools.....
I'll try, thanks for advice
