Hi,
I've been trying to pair my Legend (updated to HTC Android 2.2) with Holux M-1200 bluetooth GPS receiver but without success, I kept getting "wrong PIN or passkey" error. The strange thing is that I can pair this same Holux M-1200 with Desire and Wildfire (both running HTC Android 2.2) without any problem. Does this means Legend's Android 2.2 is not the same as Desire and Wildfire?
I drive to the neighbor country quite often and since I don't have a data roaming plan and it usually take me a very long time (5~10 minutes) to get a gps location fix without data access.
Is there a work around to get this working? Or even better, is there a way to have a faster gps fix without using data (something like QuickGPS in HTC TD2 running WM?)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Its better to contact htc customer care and report the issue.
There are many frustrating unsolved bluetooth issues with legend.
For me, its with my blaupunkt bluetooth audio in my car stereo.
It might pair, but many a times the audio isn't routed through the bluetooth even if its paired and connected.

hi, don't know if you ever got this sorted, but I had the exact same issues with a stock legend and a qstarz q818xt gpsr (and I believe the qstarz gpsrs use very similar hardware to the holux ones, if not exactly the same!)
I eventually found that by rooting (not trivial as I had to downgrade) and then flashing CM7 rom onto my legend I was able to get the device to pair easily, it appears to be an issue with the bluetooth stack in the stock rom.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the info. I've decided to stick with stock ROM as I still prefer Sense UI and some Sense's widgets. For the time being, well, just switch on the gps once in a couple of days, that helps......
Cheers,

Heres how I do it. Im running dexter 1.3 mod. You have to install the bluetooth fix. Put you a7 in discovery mode and you gps into discovery mode . Scan for your gps once found pair it with the a7. It should come up and say paired but not connected and thats normal.
Download bluetooth pgs provider from the market and run it. It will ask you to choose your gps. Tap on your gps when you see it. after that you should see a bar that says start tap on that. Now you should see stats at the bottom of the screen from your gps. Now you can run your gps program and it should work mine does. I use copilot live. I also use it on my phone. After I install it on the a7 I had to copy my copilot directory from my phone to the a7 to make it work. There are other bluetooth programs on the market that do the same as bluetooth provider If that doesnt work you could try some of the others
hope that helps

I am hitting a dead end. I have tried both Dex's 1.3 mod with the bluetooth fix as well as the 1.4 mod with the same results. In either case, when I go to the market, the Blue GPS app as well as many others don't show up in searches when I try to get them (for example, when I search for meowsbox I only see 3 apps including the "Bluetooth GPS License" but not the GPS app itself). I can see them in my PC browser but not via the market App and in my browser they say they are not compatible with my device. I was able to download Blue GPS manually from source_forge by accepting non-certified apps but that didn't work either (connection errors).
For reference, I see the following in "About Device":
Model Number: A7-040; Firmware Version: 2.2; Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1; Serial number 2496430001227; Build Number: Dexter's ElocityA7 Mod v1.41; EC version: 0.14;
Also, when I hit the market, I see the following:
Maker:Compal; Model:A7-040; Carrier:T-Mobile;
Any ideas?

this is the only way, and it works.. i have used a bT gps with it..
remember as mentioned to enable "mock location" in settings -> development
Can't find the Bluetooth fix for Dextermod 1.3 does anyone have a copy?
I purchased a GSat Bluetooth GPS receiver and want to use it but all of a sudden I can't enable bluetooth. I'm running 1.3 without any patches and I used to at least have the ability to turn on the bluetooth and pair up a headset. Now, in settings, I can't even get bluetooth enabled (I have WiFi just fine). I was looking for the bluetooth patch that was created for Dexter's 1.3 mod, but can't find it. Does anyone know where I can locate that patch?
I know that I could update to 1.4 (plus patches) but I've been spooked by some of the problems reported, and everything else is working well.
Update: OK, I found it at Post#690 on the Android Dev/Elocitymod thread. I hope it works!
if i recall the right file from examining dexters rom, he replaced either the settings or contacts apk that originally had bluetooth settings option from elocity w one that does not have those bluetooth settings, at least in the 1.41 rom. so upgrading will not help.

Bestialbub, if you have any advice for me I would really appreciate it. Your wife is so lucky to have you to help her... my husband is wonderful but l'm the techie of the family!!!
i might have the answer for that one;
1
download and install "anycut" from the market. its a utility application for making convenient shortcuts to important activities and menus in programs.
2
open anycut from your applications menu.
3
choose "new shortcut"
4
choose "activity"
5
scroll down to where i hope you see "Bluetooth settings"
you should now have a shortcut on the desktop labeled "Bluetooth settings". see if that gets you to what you need. it didn't work on my cm6 froyo rom for my x10 phone, and i don't have a tablet in my hands at the moment. i just got a force close error. i should think if the bluetooth app (it is an apk) is working right, it should open that menu, even though you may not find it elsewhere. sorry if it doesn't work.
EDIT; otherwise, if that doesn't work, using the same solution you may find one of the many "Settings" listings further down the activities list could be a bluetooth menu entry as well. they don't list the subnames sometimes for multiple activities/menu's in 1 program. you may also find some of these activities/shortcuts causes your tablet to reboot.

1. i did not remove bluetooth ... why would i do such thing..
2. previous roms had firmware bluetooth problems not "settings" in android.. different story.. different problem..
when its said "bluetooth fix", it means bluetooth boot.img fix, not anything else.. i would not recommend ideas, when you can actually just open and check yourself... and you're not using so why start advising on the firmware you havent seen.. your advise can be easily misunderstood, and you cannot see the problem, as you start directing in wrong direction, which lead to total confusion, which i see now.... why use shortcuts when settings offer a "bluetooth" option like all android would...
@dexter_nlb; i never falsely represent my suggestions as definitive solutions; just possibilities as workaround for a device i didn't have in my hands at the moment.
and for the record, *i* tried both suggested solutions, and yes, i verified the bluetooth settings shortcut i suggested (which could be a convenience for some to have direct access to from the homescreen) worked, as well as yours. i made the silly assumption someone would have checked the settings menu before asking.
@okantomi; under Wireless in the Settings menu in the newest elocity firmware, i cant say for elocitymod version youre running.
sorry dex couldn't CLEARLY answer this before chewing me out. @dexter_nlb; did you try my suggestion before snapping?
i wasn't making things up about your contacts.apk either;
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
permissions not listed in the contacts.apk you provided that are listed in the factory apk. suggestive that the contacts.apk provided in elocitymod could be lacking some bluetooth functionality OR accessibility to such settings, at the least in the contacts.apk; a system application in your rom.
i'm pretty sure users are permitted to answer questions on xda without your permission, even if they do relate to your rom. wouldn't they be posting directly to your rom thread if they thought you were the only one with all the answers?
and i'm not suggesting you would intentionally remove functionality in your rom; but your rom is a work in progress, just like all roms. i'm sure with room for improvement, and those improvements are generally made with feedback and insight from other users.
good luck with your rom developmemt if this is how you respond when other users try to help each other online, out of your thread nonetheless, on a forum thats says "xda", not "dexter's". you should be taking these opportunities to learn from other people that are willing to help you, instead of assuming you have all the answers. i only quote what other users have been freely pm'ing and emailing me in private, after you've clearly given this impression to other users, and not for the first time.
EDIT: @dexter_nlb; i will have my own a7 by next week. you can rest a little sounder knowing i won't be suggesting untested solutions in the near future. sorry for the scare.
bluetooth access is if the framework require that in combination with a headset that has speech support or similar, but direct related its not.
Contacts and Bluetooth works independently.. and some rights failing during bootup can be ignored, and yes, contacts and calendar is "motorola" design for mobiles, so bluetooth makes less sense here, and the access is not important.
people using BT gps units mostly fail with it, as they think they should have it in "connected" state when they use the bluegps4droid app, but no, just have it paired is ok.. and mock locations enabled in this case under development, but all info possible to find when looking for bluegps4droid..
my previous problem with bt, was firmware flashing in previous releases not happening for all ppl. 1.41 do not have the problem.
the "problems" reported on 1.41 is sdcard related, that did not exist on 1.3 or previous as it were not at all found in android, but only as mount in filesystem. now its fully supported but with some tweaks to work with.
I installed Dexter's Bluetooth Fix for version 1.3 and it worked...I got my bluetooth back. Now I'm trying to get my GPS receiver to connect again -it did so for a while last night and won't connect again since I rebooted. However, I'm sure that's an issue with the hardware I'm using and will keep working on it.
Thanks to everyone who is working on making this tablet work better. I have learned a lot from all of the discussions and explanations. It is very appreciated.
I had an old "Palm" branded Garmin bluetooth GPS receiver laying around; so, I decided to give this a try with my A7. Pairs with bluetooth fine. Connects with Bluegps4droid. GPS stats seems to report the correct lattitude and longitude, but Google navigation does not work at all. I own copilot; so, maybe I'll try that later.
Hello,
I can't pair my Advent Vega (POV Mobii 10') with my iphone 4 (for the 3G connexion).
I've installed the MoDaCo custom rom R8. (Froyo 2.2)
When I pair the two devices, it says "Linked but not connected".
Please help me if you can. Thanks. Regards, JM
AOSP froyo builds (and thus the Vega) can't tether over bluetooth by default, it simply doesn't support the profile

and when saying "by default" there is a way to do it that makes the firmware "non-default"?
Cuz i would like to connect my bluetooth GPS to the tablet.
quick goole search found this
http://sourceforge.net/p/bluegps4droid/home/
Thanks, now i just need to get my Bluei GPS to actually get my position.
Tried it with my Nokia N8 and it didnt want to get a loc there either, so i guess i have to let the reciever stay on and under open sky for a while.
Hello everyone,
Just got my A7, so far I'm pretty happy with it. However, I do have one issue and wanted to see if it's just me. I've already searched the forums to no avail so I apologize if I just missed this. Are there any Wiimote pairing apps that work on this device? I've tried four of them but they either disconnect right away or force close upon pairing. I have the same apps working fine on my droid 2 global.
I'm running Dexter's mod 1.3 along with more recent update patch. BT seems to be wotking fine in general and I've enabled the proper input methods.
Any ideas?
Bump. Specifically, has anyone tried pairing a Wii remote with the official Elocity update from a few days ago which is supposed to include better bluetooth compatability?
I bought a wii remote to use but returned it. It seems the elocity will not support it.
Hi, recently shifted to AOKP ICS Built#29 through Overcome as instructed. But facing a problem connecting to my Bluetooth headset (in spec written Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR). The tab is being able to locate any other devices such as Nokia Handsets, laptops but can't find the headset. I was using the same headset with the same tab without any prob previously but of course it was then with Froyo 2.2. Can anyone pls help on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi, i'm under #31 build,
and often use nokia bh 505, sony mw600 and motorola eq5 bluetooth headset/speaker with no problem. Never had some in the past too.
All work like a charm: play/pause, next, previous, calling...
Did you do a full wipe.? I'm using, humberos kernel 20120410 wich is include in the build.
For a while now, i always perform full wipe when i change build, like that all rocks.
I bought titanium pro, restoring is automatic, and in 3 minutes, all my apps are restored!
Bye, Yoh
