I have a rebadged BT-R920 from semsons and i'm having trouble connecting it to wizard's bluetooth. The wizard recognizes the receiver but doesn't actually connect. a blinking blue light on the receiver should indicate the connection of the bluetooth but yeh nothing. anyways if anyone has this figured out i would appreciate it very much. thanks
in the bluetooth device page, theres a question mark icon and i made sure to use it as serial port.
Dont you need a subscription/service plan to use that?

Ive got a question mark icon near my BT receiver too, but it doesn't affect anything. The blinking blue light just means that the receiver is pumping a bluetooth signal not meaning it's connected though.
In Comm Menu open:
Settings/Bluetooth Settings/COM Ports/New Outgoing Port (use COM7 listed w/ receiver)
COM6 is for Incoming Port(nothing will be listed w/ it)
Open your GPS software and make sure that it lists COM7 as the COM Port, Baud Rate 4800. Happy Trails

Hi People,
I hope someone can help me solve a problem connecting a GPS receiver to my MDA. I'm working with Tom Tom and when I try to access the receiver on COM 1 I get an error "cannot connect to COM1, port does not exist". When the reciever is connected to a friends unit it works fine.
I see a couple of possibilities:
The serial port is broken.
Dirver problem. (I don't think so because I've updated to the newest ROM from T-Mobile)
Tom Tom problem (unlikely because I installed a different software with similar result).
Has anyone had similar problems? If the serial I/O buffer is def. can it be changed? I'm a technician but I don't have any circuit diagrams.
Is there any other way of hooking a serial receiver up to the MDA other then the serial port? TT offers the options Ser to usb, ser to ird, ser to com2 and com9. none of these work directly with the serial cable.
Thanks for any help I get.

Go to settings/connections/beams, make sure beams is unchecked. Also if you have an external keyboard driver present you need to deactivate it.
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip! Hours of talking to T-Mobile couldn't solve the problem. They suggested having my SIM card checked.
Cheers,

Glad to be of service 8)
Just got a TomTom5 kit with Bluetooth GPS receiver from PDAMods.com.
Followed the instructions to set everything up, but TomTom still says "No GPS device!".
The XDA seems to connect via BT to the device OK, and the BT active light comes on on the receiver, so I think its maybe connection params.
The only step in setting up the receiver that I couldn't perform was changing the outbound COM port to port 8 in BT Settings as specified in the receiver manual.
I go into Bluetooth Settings.
Select the Services tab.
Select 'Serial Port'' as instructed.
Make sure Enable service is checked, authoriszation required isn't, and Authentication passkey required isn't.
Then I go into the Advanced options to set the ports and I can't edit them...
Any ideas? I need to use this this afternoon - in about and hour and 10 minutes, and have been struggling for 2 hours to get the thing to recognise the receiver...
I've already had to do a hard reset, and lost a load of other stuff off the device, because the Bluetooth setting seemed to get corrupted and i started getting a message about Bluetooth license having expired. That bit is OK now after the hard rest, but the receiver is still not recognised.
In the TomTom prefs I have gone into GPS status and hit the configure button. Selected 'Other Bluetooth GPS'., and hit the ''Bluetooth Serial Port 5" line (which is what the inbound COM port connection is set to).
According to Bluetooth settings my Inbound COM port is 5 and my outbound is 6. The receiver setups says these should be Inbound 5 and outbound 8.
Please please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
FM
try using cable
In TomTom try using the Other NMEA cable device (or somthing similar) - select the com port and set the baud rate (mine uses 9600 but you may need to try a few settings). I also ensure that I connect the device in Bluetooth manager before starting TomTom.
Hope this helps.

Don't tell me you haven't used the "outbound" com port setting .
The inbound/outbound name is nothign to do with data flow, it's whi instigates the connection.... the XDA does, so it's an Outbound connection you need to use.
Try Com6 (or com 8 .... whatever it was)
Once again, xda-dv forums members are stars!
That sorted it..
9600 and selecting the inbound com port (i think it was that one) made the thing spring to life..
now i know where i am going..
cheers cgrillo,

hi
try to make 38000 bps , and remeber to choose com6 on other cable select...
i try it and he cames like a ferrari....eheheh

Is there a quick way to have TOM TOM connect to the GPS Mouse when TOM TOM is started? Currently I have to start blue tooth manager and connect to GPSlim236 manually.
Then run TOMTOM.
Also, in my blue tooth manager my blue device is listed as:
Holux GPSlim236: SPP Slave.
is SPP Slave correct?
same problem as above! but i lose the conecction after about 10 seconds! any ideas? ive searched the whole forum and this is the closest ive come
Hi, my xda mini s only has bluetoth COM ports on port 6 + 7, however tomtom5 only recognises the IR, serial, and COM ports 0, 2, 3, and 9. I have tried the 'Other cable...' thingy, changed the BAUD rate, and generally messed around with it. Any ideas?
btw, i use a globalstat BT-359 receiver (bluetooth)
Can anyone tell me if TOMTOM 5 is compatible with the XDA?
When i say compatible, i dont mean will it install etc cos ive actually managed that no problem. What i mean is, has ANYONE found a GPS reciever that works with the XDA and TOMTOM 5 ? If so what settings did you use?
I have a RIKALINE GPS reciever, and TOMTOM 5. Ive tried what seems for ever to get the god damn thing working but no matter what settings i use, the TOM TOM 5 software refuses to acknowledge that i have a GPS reciever attached or even a signal.
I know the RIKALINE GPS reciever has a signal since ive watched the procedure it goes through in order to obtain it. I know what BAUD rate the GPS reciever needs, but i dont actually know how its connected to the PDA. Ie COM 9:, Serial Cable on COM1:, Serial on USB or Serial Cable on COM2 ?? I have tried them all but to now success. SO does anyone have a TOM TOM 5 installation guide or some information on what i should try next. Anything anyone can give me will be much appriciated. I really dont want to go back to TOM TOM 3 (which i have had working with all the above equipment)
Thanks in Advance
Hi there
Yes the XDA is fully compatible - but there are also conflicts you need to be aware of.
Go to START/SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS - select "BEAM" option - make sure that the box is UNCHECKED - as the infra red beam conflicts with the receiver!
On the TOMTOM program set the GPS receiver to TOMTOM CABLE GPS & away you go!
Let me know if you still can't get it working.
You'll need "Serial Cable on Com 1" Use Other Cable GPS receiver and set the baud rate and it should work once you've disabled the beam
I have had tomtom 5.00 installed on my XDA, and bought a GPS mouse type receiver which is attached by cable. Tomtom5 doesn't appear to recognise the receiver and displays "No GPS device" whether it is plugged in or not. The receiver appeared to behave as expected when positioned in the car and plugged in to the lighter socket - green flashing light for a couple of minutes until it fixed its position. The manual is a very poor chinese translation and of little use to me. I would really appreciate some help on getting this to work.
Have you disabled beam?
Stefan
I have disabled the infra-red beam now and soft reset; but it still doesn't work. Other info/queries:
I couldn't instal the receiver driver (only a chinese version existed) but I was told this shouldn't be needed as tomtom5 should recognise the device without this. Is this correct?
The receiver needs to be plugged in to the car lighter socket to work (for power) but should the XDA recognise it if not connected to the power source?
Settings: baud rate 4800, connection serial cable on COM1.
Many thanks for your help so far.

TomTom should be able to use the GPS Device without a driver as long it is NMEA compatible.

The receiver needs power to be recognised afaik.

This should be ok i think. Perhaps have a look at the TomTom website if your GPS-Device is supported.

Hi there,
First, it would help if you told us what model of GPS you're using.
simon.cook3 said:

Well that's a bit limited. Try 38400 for the baud rate, and maybe COM2 (as I think I used that back in my Wallaby days ...)
Good luck !
XDA with tomtom5 doesn't recognise GPS device - it does now!
Changed the baud rate to 9600 and bingo! I had previously reduced this to 4800 when trying various fixes to get the GPS working. It looks as though the original problem was the infra-red not being disabled. Brilliant system to use.
Thanks to those who helped
what gps receiver do u use?
i'm using an HOLUX GM 210 U and have the same problem
anybody can say me something?
Hi stefan
i download a new rom from the kitchen but now i cant disable the beams every time i try it is always enabled
Any help would be greatley appreciated

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/

http://www.google.com/support/forum...n&fid=40c6f9447eac44e600047f171034e819&hltp=2
otherwise I'm affraid we have to wait for 2.2
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html#PlatformTechnologies
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
