Hi guys,
I've been using the 1.72 ROM for a couple of weeks now and I must say it is the most stable ROM since I've my MDA II. The radio on/off works like a charm and so does the bluetooth. But.....
I use TomTom Navigator 3 with an Emtac bluetooth GPS. It works fine with this ROM but I can't use TomTom anymore without the Emtac bluetooth GPS. What I mean is: Before this ROM I would sometimes open up TomTom to look something up on the map. This would be with bluetooth turned off and my GPS would be somewere else. Now with this 1.72 ROM and the Bluetooth Tools in it, I can't do this anymore. My MDA II will slow down in opening TomTom and will then freeze. It needs a soft reset to get out of this stage. This is very repeatable. I think it has to do with the bluetooth tools in the ROM.
So my questions are:
1. Does any of you guys have the same problem with a bluetooth GPS?
2. Can I do a hard reset and not let this bluetooth tools be installed and still get my bluetooth GPS working?
I hope any of you knows the answer to this (minor) problem.
Thanks!
Wouter
are you using the latest version of the tomtom gps driver, I had this problem on my old IPAQ 3970. but everything works fine on my XDA with 1.72 and bluetooth tools
I use the very, very latest GPS driver. So you can't reproduce that problem with a bluetooth gps mouse?
Wouter
I have a GlobalSat GPS mouse and it works fine.

I also have the latest GPS driver with the TomTom Wireless (Bluetooth) GPS mouse and works without any problem
Hi Xzanix,
Just to be sure if I just have bad luck. You can open the map in TomTom and look something up without the bluetooth GPS turned on? (I just want to be sure....)
Thanks,
Wouter

Hi guys,
This thread can be closed. I solved the problem!
I tell you what I did. I had in the GPS settings choosen for COM5 because I had that one activated in the Bluetooth Tools. This was how TT did work but didn't work with no GPS turned on.
Now I turned Bluetooth Tools off and choose for Bluetooth GPS in the GPS settings. Now it works how it is supposed and I can still look something up on the map without my bluetooth GPS turned on.
I'm so happy! :lol:

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to an XDA2s from an XDA2. All my software runs fine with the exception of one clash. My Tomtom 3 software prevents the bluetooth from connecting with anything. If I do a build without Tomtom, the bluetooth works fine.
The GPS unit isn't bluetooth, its a wired one.
The bluetooth headset is compatible with the XDA2s and works.
Has anyone seen this/Fixed it?
I'm having to keep 2 backups on the go, one with Tomtom and one without. Ideally I'd like to not have to do this
All ideas most welcome. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
UPDATE : I have upgraded my radio to version 6.10 and my bluetooth drivers to 3900. The bluetooth is much better now but Tomtom still interrupts it.
Hi guys, like most here I use xda2 as a sat nav aswell. I had tomtom 5 working on my xda fine running 2003se. I thought I could try the new wm5 and see what everyone else is playing with. However I cant get my gps to talk with tomtom. Now this is what i have tried.
1) Installed tomtom5 running and well fixed backlight worries.
2) Paired Bluetooth GPS reciever with XDA, selected serial port service.
3) Added an outgoing port com5 with the GPS
4) Used a patch i found which made com5 visiable to tomtom.
5) Changed preferences to other bluetooth gps and selected com5.
6) Nothing happens is says no gps device found.
P.S I ran Naviman and that works fine but I prefere TOMTOM.
I have attached a pic of my gps reciever.
Im really stuck and would love to get it to work. It worked fine on 2003se maybe I should go back.lol
Hi all!
I just bought an iPaq BT GPS system (seems like a rebrand of what GLobalSat offers). I have successfully paired the device, but when I do a services check, the blue angel cries that it cannot find any usable services. Is there something I can install on my BA to be able to use this GPS device? IT seems like they are trying to talk to one another, but just don't understand each other.
Thanks!
I fixed it...how? I dont know...weird but it works
I paired, I used tom tom, it got a GPS fix, I used it twice
LOL OK - back with some problems
First: the GPS unit will NOT get a GPS fix...
Then I could not connect to the device, so I deleted the pairing, and decided to re-pair them.
Then I saw the GPS BT device, but the services were not usable!
Now I try to paid the devices, and I cannot even see the GPS unit
arghhhhhh :evil:
I'm using the latest rom on my XDA2 (WMK5_2.01a32WWE) and TT Navigator 5.21 but I just can't get my Polstar PGM-111 wired receiver working at all, I've tried all sorts of input/output port settings even disabling GPS in control panel and yet I can't get connected. Don't really want to go back to 2003 as it works no probs but I just can't get this resolved in WM5, please any help would be wonderful before I lose any more hair!!
Good day,
I used to run Navigon, Destinator and VITO GPS software on my Jamin on WM6.0 and everything was working perfectly.
I upgraded my device to WM6.1 and I like it very much for stability and performance however the GPS programs are not working any more!
The problem is that the programs can not see the GPS any more.
I am using Bluetooth external GPS receiver from Hulox, any idea?
Appreciating your help in advance.
Best regards.
i had no problem on wm6.1 n holux gpslim 240. maybe the softwareis not configured correctly? have you checked BT settings?
Yes I've checked the BT settings and the GPS receiver was paired correctley with the Jamin, however when I go to the software and click GPS settings -> search for BT receiver ; the software can not find it.
