Dear friend I'm using BT GPS. In some s/w (like Destinaor 6) there is no problem to select the assign BT port (COM 5 in my JasJam) , but some old s/w (like NaviGuide 3 and more) it refuses to let me choose the BT COM Port, it allow me to choose other port like COM 6 , COM 3 and others which I can not assign the BT COM Port to them. Did someone come across this problem ? Is there any Reg tweak that will allow such s/w to know the existance of the assigned BT Com Ports ?
Please advice.
I came across this problem when using wm5 and old versions of Destinator. I couldnt find a way to get wm5 to "open" up the other com ports so I added to hack the actual program. In Destinator it was in .ini file in hex. not sure about the other programs. Problem was everytime you changed something in the settings of the program it would over write my hacked .ini.
Problem solved !!!
Attached is an application whice enable for me all the COM ports !! just copy to your mobile and run the CAB file attached
i had this exact problem and the only solution i found was a program called Franson GPSGate http://franson.com/gpsgate/ this program allows you to remap the port to enable its useage by destinator, and as a side effect, it also allows you to have multiple programs accessing your gps downstream at once

Hi, if anyone has had success using Destinator PN on the HTC Tytn, I would appreciate any help. I have a GlobalSat BT338 which I had previously used successfully on an O2 ATOM, but recently upgraded to a HTC Tytn. I cannot seem to get a Com Port to work - on Bluetooth pairing - setting an outgoing COM port - can only get Com 0, and Com 2 and Com 4 as available ports. Yet, on the Destinator PN Find GPS mode - only available Com options are Coms 1,5,6,7 and 8.
I use the same receiver, but I have only used TTN6 and iguidance 3. Both allow the selection of the avialable com port (I chose Port 2). If there is no way to do it you kay want to switch the AS port to 2, 4, or 0, and then use the default AS port (port 5) to fix the problem.
First you've got to pair your GPS.
Then go to the "COM" tab in the bluetooth manager
Add a new outgoing port with the GPS as device (do not tick the serial port box)
* Copy the "DestinatorApps/Destinator/Destinator.ini" from the pocket pc to your desktop
* Open this in a hex editor and change where it says C.O.M.6 to the com port of your gps. Mine was Com5 so I just changed the 6 to a 5.
* Copy the "Destinator.ini" file back onto the PPC
I have already had this problem and fixed it myself... do a quick search... there is a file you can download and it shows all com ports... much easier than doing a hex edit, etc...
yes same here - I have got this to work a few months ago with the tytn and destinator pn - cant remember how - but it does work ...
alternatively, get the new destinator PN (6) - it lets you choose all the ports and works super fast!!

generally, the incoming serial port for the pc over bluetooth is COM7.
however, sometimes it is not available to select in activesync or wmdc(for vista).
you can try to set it manually. try the followings:
- if your PC and phone is already bound over bluetooth, delete the relationship.
- start -> run -> regedit (enter)
- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
- you will see a REG_SZ (string) value named as "SerialPort". change it to COM7
- reboot the PC. try to bind over bluetooth again. this time you should see "ActiveSync Service" not "Serial Port" during the binding process. start the binding process from your phone, not from the PC.
if the incoming serial port is different than COM7, then use it. I am sure there is something in the control panel to let you add/delete/modify that setting. check it before starting.
good luck.

It's ok,also need to del the unused serial port
Thank you
Hello
I've managed to select the incoming port in Activesync to COM6
and set the outgoing port on my S200 to COM6
but the pda is reporting that he doesn't find a computer that supports Activesync, although they are paired
I'm using the Widcomm stack
the widcomm program is reporting these 3 services are available on the pda:
- Connect NPA & Dialup & voice Gateway, serial port is not one of them
hello there i have just got an bluenext gps reciver i connect it to my xda II via bluetooth and then istart tomtom and it says no gps device what shell i do please i need elp
The complete steps for this is in the Wiki under Himalaya/Himalaya Faq:
Pair your bluetooth GPS device with your Himalaya first.
After this, make sure to choose the advanced option which will give you the choice of choosing the serial connection and then which port you want to use.
I always choose Com 5 as this seems to work fastest, most stable etc.
After this, you then leave bluetooth on and in discoverable mode.
After this, load up your software.
The correct com port should then appear in the list of possible com ports for you to choose from (Com 5).
After that, all should be well with the world.
I found EnableDUN.lnk shortcut in \Windows folder (and the program with the same name).
Running program allows to switch TG01 from ActiveSync mode to Dial-Up Networking (DUN) mode - see attached screenshot.
After selecting DUN menu item my laptop (Windows 7) switched off ActiveSync and identified my TG01 as USB Serial Modem, but could not find a suitable driver for this modem.
Does anyone know where to get this driver?
Hi.
Well, very old post but without any response.
You can utilize one of HTC .ini script and fix it for tg01 purpses.
Works fine. I'am just writing this post utlizing tg01 as as usb serial modem.

Hi I have just noticed in the nokia diagnostic tool in the bottom right the three dots when pressed gives you settings option and within that option it says usb mode Zune or usb serial with an option to choose which one ... What's this serial in this case ?? Will this allow direct access to hdd and find a way to use as mass storage ? or can we use this to access the cpu or other parts of the phone ?? im not sure were the serial point to yet ...
Probably that would be the way to flash rom.
It seems to be used for reparing the device or OS level software debugging - it won't give you USB Mass storage device....Or it maybe if you found the right driver...from Nokia Engineer. On HTC phones, this can be used for tethering with the right driver.
Serial Ports are the port that were used for Modem and Mouse before USB was invented (COM ports) It is the very basic form of communication port that most device implements - which the chipset on Lumia also emulate Serial Port over USB cable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port)
Ahhhh ok thanks very much guys
Didn‘t notice that before, I'll poke at it using a serial debugger once I get home, could be some interesting/fun stuff that can be done
In winxp you can load a driver for a system device. maybe at driver level the connection data can be verified. How:
connect in serial mode. it will at first time detect a nokia rm801 or whatever device and ask for a driver. it finds 4 devices.
for the first, the xp system will itself suggest
1) USB Composite Device
2) will not find anything, and show the dialog to go onto internet, search etc.
Don't search and choose the driver to install yourself, with the downmost radiobutton and click next, in the categories go to System Devices, the driver assist will suggest a Compaq Deskpro Thermal Sensor, install this. Will install without error
3) see 2.
4) see 2.
Because it installs a temperature sensor driver, it must be possible to monitor or probe somehow. help?
My guess that will only gain you access to temprature data from the phone.
Have you tried putty and a baudrate of 9600? this is the most common used baudrate, tho It is quite possible they use 16000 instead if the serial connection is ment to handle data transfer.
I've been looking at the schematics for the phone and I can not seem to find out which chip they have used for GPIO. We would probably need to get hold of service level 3 or 4 manuals for Nokia Care (unless someone wants to dissasemble their phone and have a look at the mainboard)
Edit:
After a bit more digging I think I've traced serial to be managed directly by the CPU.
This suggests that it's a purely SW serial console.
I haven't been able to find any details on WP7/7.1/7.5 SW serial.
Worth looking into but I guess would require disassembly of the software?
what is the protocol for example when doing a software update through Zune? It gets into some kind of bootloader mode then too.
can imagine the serial connection is hosted as sw in the phones sw environment when running the mango os. But is the serial mode still fully sw if you boot it? Don't know if you could find anything in the 15 sec of booting to mango
I think the easiest way of figuring out how this is done is to disassemble the .net library that is used in the WP7 update tool.
I will have access to the required tools when I get home. The tool is this one if you want to get cracking on it:
