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,
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.
Jon
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:

Cool 8) Was just compiling a reply Nice to read you've solved your issue
Well, thanks for your effort!

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!!
Hello all,
I was just curious. Im considering purchasing an external bluetooth GPS receiver and running TomTom on my device when im driving.
I also currently use a bluetooth handsfree device.
Am i able to use both bluetooth devices?
I have no problems connection a bluetooth GPS (Holux 236) and a handsfree device (Nokia HS12W) together (and using them at the same time).
HTC branded TYTN.
Only downside might be in the way the applications address the display. Nokia Smart2Go doesn't seem to like the phone application interrupting it... (it works, but phone application doesn't show)

TomTom works fine with the phone.
I have searched across all the forums and have noted that the Hermes does not pair with a Cars built in blue-tooth radio allowing sound through the built-in speakers.
Does anyone have an update to this issue or is it just a case that WM6/Hermes and integral vehicle bluetooth simply do not work.
I have tried upteen ROM updates to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have paired the brand new car (Fiat) successfully with a Nokia 5300, XDA Exec (WM6.1) and XDA IIi (WM2003)
Thank you all in anticipation.

Pairing a Hermes with a Bluetooth Car Kit is certainly possible, and indeed routine. I have successfully paired with my two Ford cars, with a variety of WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs.
I merely followed the usual steps to set up a partnership, and ensured that the partnership was set as 'Hands Free' on the final page of the setup process.
So my experience is - no dramas, and I can't see why you are having problems. The car is, after all, just acting as a Bluetooth headset.
Transfer of contacts to your Car Kit is a bit more problamatical, as you have to set up Bluetooth Sim Access Protocol (BT SAP), to give the car, as it says, access to your sim card.
Hi and thanks for the response.
I have no problem pairing the hermes and it reads all my contact information and does everything I would expect save for the sound; I don't get any sound from the cars speakers and yet it all works perfectly with other makes/models of phone/pda.
I suppose the problem would be easier to solve if none of it worked but it does. I watch the car screen as it tells me I am making a phone call from my address book and I can see calls coming in but I cannot use the microphone on the PDA nor hear anything via the pda or the car's speakers. The XDA Exec (WM6) Nokia 5300 and XDAIIi (WM2003) work flawlessly (I borrowed those from my friends).
Thanks once again.

291,
I've had the same problem...
But found this program... From JetWare Mobile - Its not free but there's a trial period to at least see if this fixes your problem...
http://www.jetwaremobile.com
Now My bluetooth on phone and car works flawlessly, including: Music connection (can play Mp3's from phone and contacts loaded to the car stereo) I was even able to get Voice Commander to work through the car stereo but could not get announcements to work (a known issue with VC 1.6)
Look at this post, may help...

Hermes with RT4 system
I have got th esame problems with my hermes and my Jumpy with RT4 and bluetooth connection. I can drive my hermes, make a call by the way of the RT4 but speakers and mic are out. The only solutions to make them working is to make call by my hermes ans after RT4 working good and for and incoming call, accept it by the way of my Hermes. With this solution, I can ear ans speak unsing bluetooth system. If some one can help me, thank a lot...
I have TomTom Navigator 7.913(9189) on my Leo. It is a custom ROM using the latest shipping base & packages (3.14) and WM 6.5.3 (5.2.23152). I have a Bluetooth carkit (XCarLink) and the pairing is set up OK as far as I can see. The XCarLink has Hands-free and Stereo Audio. Playing music is fine, however the audio from TomTom is at maximum and whatever I change the volume to in TomTom it stays the same. It is so bad that there is clipping. I have changed the 'Link volume to car speed' to enabled and disabled and there is no difference.
I had the same version (same .CAB) on my Blackstone and the audio worked perfectly on this.
Any ideas?
Andy
Hi,
had a similar problem with the Mobile Navigator
I think it has something to do with HTC's own Bluetooth stack.
Strangely, it was not at all tested Costumrom's
One solution I have not found yet.
Hi!
This is just to let you know taht you are not alone. I got the very same problem on my HD2, Jabra connector and Navigator.
The problem apears just using blutooth, using the earphone jack it works flaweless.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Gabriel
After a lot of searching I now understand that the BT stack on the HD2 is the Widcomm/Broadcom BT stack and this is the issue. On the Blackstone its the MS BT stack. Apparently the Broadcom stack doesn't support volume control - this is supposedly a function of the bluetooth audio device and the volume must be controlled by it. Its not part of the BT standard if I am to believe other posts? This is obviously different from how the MS stack worked as this worked perfectly on my Blackstone.
I did some research into maybe getting the MS stack transplanted back into the HD2 ROM but I never got very far with it - I assume its possible as the Windows Phone 7 ROMs for the HD2 have the MS BT Stack don't they? Plus all the HD2 Android ROMs using other drivers for the BT?
