Hi Ppl.,
I'm starting a new project with this thread.
Goal is to get TMC running within Navigation Software on X10.
As we all know from the specs and my determining over here, that there is no FM Chip assembled to the X10.
But our User drobec208 had the Idea to make use of an external bluetooth / TMC device.
The Idea is to use the "FM9BT-C", made by GNS GmbH with "usually TMCable" navigation software. (Nice side affect: FM9BT-C also brings a 5V, 1A USB Charger ).
I ordered one FM9BT-C and received it yesterday.
As I make use of Sygic mobile maps for Android, I knew from the .ini files, that TMC is just deactivated after stock installation of Sygic.
Within the folder: "\sdcard\Drive\Android\" you can find the .ini files too.
But now, I'm a little stuck.
I can't even connect FM9BT-C to X10.
Pairing works fine, but the my phone shows: "Paired but not connected".
I also can't connect both devices.
I guess, it's the same issue, like I had with my Bluetooth keyboard:
Android 1.6 is simply not capable for HID Devices.
So I guess its same with the TMC Device.
The TMC Device needs to be set up with a COM Port.
But atm I don't even get so far.
So guys, whats your advice?
Any Devs around, that can help out?
Do I have to wait for 2.1 this month?
Is Android not TMC capable at all?
Kind regards,
McK
O.k., as far as I could determine myself, a Bluetooth COM Port is needed for sure.
But how can I set it up in Android?
Is is that impossible with 1.6?
if it's connected via BT I'm affraid the problem is limited Bluetooth profiles support on 1.6. The USB on FM9BT-C is just for charging?
O.k., I feared something like that.
As the Update to 2.1 will come in a few Weeks, we will see more, after it was released.
Du you know something about the profiles in 2.1?
Japp, the USB connector is for charging only.
not much, just google I'm waiting for 2.x just because of BT profiles and my SE MBW-150 support via OpenWatch http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/

otherwise I'm affraid we have to wait for 2.2

I've also recently found this Thread in a German Forum:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/439320-post42.html
Roughly, fast and only the important thing translated: Wit Android 2.1 for X10, the Bluetooth Stack will be updated to Bluetooth V 2.1, which introduces:
- secure simple pairing
- GAP Generic Access Profile
- GOEP Generic Object Exchange Profile
- OPP Object Push Profile
- PBAP Phonebook Access Profile
- SPP Serial Port Profile
So, we have to wait a little more....
@MBW-150: OMG? S///E X10 isn't supporting a S///E Bluetooth Watch... *[email protected]///E*
Uhm, bad news.
I still get "paired but not connected".
Even after updating to 2.1.
I guess the connection has to be initiated by software (like on the bluetooth keyboards).
Does anybody know the name or so of the bluetooth com port?
I'd try to connect through Sygic Mobile Maps.
hi, I'm not glad to hear that.
what happens if you try to find TMC device from within the Sygic?
P.S: My MBW-150 finaly works with X10

Unfortunately: Nothing...
My last hope is to set the bluetooth comport manually within Sygic.
With a little chance, it will activate the connection if it knows the way...
But I don't know the port
Is there an app, to list the ports or so?
maybe http://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/ ?
Uhm... I have no idea how to use that App

Hi! i search an application for do Tmc (Traffic Message Channel) on my android in use the FM radio in direct not with a gps application
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel

After two years same question
İs there any news for tmc support on the android?
No i have no news about tmc on android
it didn't work with cygic with the old version, i didn't try with the new
I was looking for this too, It will be awsome to be able to have TMC on my phone.
agree
I'm also interested in this. It would be nice to use the existing accessories from Tomtom and others.
Theoretically it is possible. As far as I understood you need a TMC receiver, which reads the normal FM signal in and strips the multiplexed traffic data out. What it presents then (via USB) would be just a sequence of serial data which can be read by every navigation application. I am currently trying to retrieve a TMC receiver with USB (and no charger included) and it normally needs just a c0210x kernel object loaded (and some app to tell the system where the serial data needs to be presented to).
This is all theoretical, but IGO or Navigon for example should be able to read /dev/ttyUSBx in Android as well as normal COM ports in Win CE - I think
Any luck??

Hi,
did you actually make it work?
Has anyone got this to work?
it seems the service i need Dial-up networking (DUN) is not there as a service in the bluetooth services.
it was there the first time i did it to which i enabled it, the driver installed and i connected to bluetoooth dun through PDAnet . Just after i connected windows crashed and since then nothing i do will even get the DUN service to appear on the list.
the other 4 services i have are as follows
1 - audio source
2 - headset audio gateway
3 - object push
4 - remotely controllable device
bluetooth on android is such a pain ive had nothing but trouble and this is the final straw for me.
I followed this procedure http://www.junefabrics.com/android/bluetooth.php to which i now get to the add DUN part and i no longer have anymore.
any help appreciated.
starting to think my laptop bluetooth just isnt cutting it anymore..
i know it says bluetooth2.0 on the sticker on my laptop so maybe it needs 2.1?
Not sure if anyone can help me with this, but my x10 no longer connects to my pioneer avic u310bt car deck. I can get the deck to find my phone and prompt for code entry but afterwards it fails connection.
Phone and deck worked perfectly together in 1.6 and I've been on both nordic and now rogers firm ware. I can connect to my bt head set, just not my car deck anymore. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Seems the 2.1 update has stripped the X10 of much of its bluetooth functionality. I've read elsewhere in the forum of this problem and so far none of the people experiencing it (including me) have found a solution.
When I attempt to transfer files from my PC to the X10 (which worked fine under 1.6) I now get the message "No services found" which seems to imply that the phone's bluetooth specs are now missing something.
Maybe we need to wait for a patch from SE.
If anyone has better ideas please enlighten us.
Do anyone have idea for connecting Archos IT device to WM for using GPS function of WM.
I am thinking that it should be possible that Archos IT using BT to connect to WM phone to get the coordination and display the map in Android.
I don't know whether this is such application already available in the market, the simplest way I can think of is using some application in WM to generate the coordination to a file, and Android app will get such file from WM to get the coordination. Any idea?
i write this news
http://translate.google.fr/translat...e-son-telephone-android-sur-son-gen8/&act=url
thank you for your page. I am using WM phone instead of android phone, also I can't find any app in that page.
But from your page, I got some idea that WM phone can be act as a GPS receiver, and I found that there is a wm app call GpsGate that can turn WM phone into a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have already installed the GpsGate, and will try to try it out tonight.
GPS gate is ok but phone GPS isn't great and you may want to tether as well.
BT GPS is cheaper than the software (software works but my globslsat bt-359 is so much better).
John
I use the GPSGate is not because of the cost issue. If my mobile phone can become a gps receiver, I don't need to bring one more device to go outside.
I use GPS2Blue...works great....

hello everyone, first thread
after many many hours of searching and torture i think i found a solution to this problem. i might be a bit late, sorry then, but i did look up probably all the threads up there and none had the concrete answer.
just to let you know it can be done. Check the other post i made before i realized you can edit your posts. on many forums this is not enabled.
okay so the complete solution for me was this:
ftp : // ftp .packardbell.com/pub/itemnr/CS183A00/broadcom_bt_6209700.exe
h** p ://w**.getdriver.com/redirectdownload/2908/atheros-bluetooth-driver-6-27-0521-0302-65-4-mb-acer-aspire-5742g-driver-windows-7-x64/
you need both the atheros bluetooth suite and broadcomm drivers installed and it will work.
on the services page of galaxy s2 in the devices from control panel disable all but handset profile.
if your mic drops in calls just poke "headset" twice on the phone to reconnect. it should work.
and don't forget to uncheck "Use for media audio" on your bluetooth options for your connection on the mobile itself, just the phone audio should remain.
tested on bluetooooooooooooooth 2.0 and 2.1 + edr dongles
it's still buggy as hell and mic won't actually work most of the time. crap then i guess.
oh. and this is for win 7 x64
That up there was for bluetooth variant, if you're looking for usb variant you can get ics on your sgs2 and remember to have MTP active, windows seems to have updated the samsung drivers so maybe it'll work on GB as well. anyway it allows use of sgs2 as a dial up modem. didn't try it yet though
