I was given a ipaq hx2490b and it is now happily running windows 6.5.3.
But it still has a problem. My first ipaq was a 5555 series model and to get it to detect bluetooth devices I had to search out a hotfix, after this it ran quite well for it's entire life. This new device has the same problem, you can scan for hours but it will never find a bluetooth device. If you try to find the ipaq it will show up under search but won't connect or pair. I have looked for a hotfix but can not find one, this device is of little use to me if it can't find the bluetooth gps as the reason for having it is to run a gps map. Help please.
oops ignore me!

well while I was surfing the net looking for an ultimate solution that would put our endless search for a stable fully featured bluetooth stack to rest, I came acroos something very interesting. Toshiba have released a new bluetooth stack that runs on all thier toshiba pdas. Now as i read further some guys on the net were able to modify some registry settings and got it to run on HP pdas. Hell, others were able to hook thier USB bluetooth dongle to thier pdas and according to what they say it's working like a charm.
So I thought, well, if someone were able to modify the registry keys for the Toshiba software, maybe we can make it read the HTC bluetooth hardware.
Onething I would like to know is what type of hardware do HTC use as a built in bluetooth device in their Himalaya version. I mean there must be some sort of bluetooth chipset they use for the Himalaya Model. And are there any technical sheets for this bluetooth chipset.
Finally I provide u with the bluetooth software I came acroos today. Hope someone can modify it so we can use it. Software works great and seams to load without any problems, but the only problem I faced was that it would not recognise my bluetooth device, instead it was searching for a Bluetooth CF Card or the Toshiba built in Bluetooth chipset.
Unfortunately, as it says in the readme, it won't solve our most pressing issue: a decent handsfree connection.
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

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.

Seems that Trinity identifies itself as a PDA in BT - some BT devices only want to bond to devices that identify itself as a computer.
You may want to try search for a registry key to change the BT device type in Trinity. It has been discussed before.
Hi, Ive recently bought another xda 2, the O2 version.. i had one before but this time i cant get it to recognise the GPS, i have set it to other bluetooth GPS, and this is set as BT on COM6, it setup as a SPP when i added the bluetooth device.
tomtom just wont see the device at all, and i cant figure out what im doing wrong.. its got standard windows 2003 on it,
Although i think its different to my old one, i had wifi on my previous xda..
can anyone help please?
cheers,
Mark
Is this any use to you per chance http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html - Mike
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?
