Dude, I had the same problem but THERE IS A FIX!

Here is the extract from the forum post :

go into the setup menu and then into map datum menu. Your GPS will probably be set up on OS GB (although I could find no indication of which grid it was using). Scroll down to page 9 and highlight the WGS 84 setting then press enter.

To further improve things you can go into the position format under the main menu setting and set it to correspond with that under the GPS settings in Tomtom ie: DDDoMM'SS.S" etc. There is a setting for UTM(WGS84). Not quite sure if this is compatable and haven't experimented as the system is working so well now and if it ain't broke..etc.etc.

Yeeeee Haaaaaw!

Maybe something wrong with me, but I couldn't uninstall the WidcommBT perfectly. Same problem than others: no sound after uninstallation anyhow I tried.

Please somebody HELP MEEEE!!!!!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] surur:
Tuningszocske:

Hard-reset, and start from scratch. Dont restore a back-up, reinstall all your apps from scratch. (hard reset by soft-resetting while holding down the power button).

Also, I found that towa's app interfered with setting up bluetooth activesync (probably because it also uses com ports). This is more of a problem, as microsoft bt does not currently support the PAN profile, so if you want to surf the web wirelessly while at home, and dont want to use GPRS, you have to do it via activesync. I found if you set up the bluetooth activesync first, then install towa's fix, things work brilliantly.

Anyways, Thx Towa for the help!!

YEahyeah...Thanks your ideas but my problem is I don't wanna make hard-reset because I have many-many programs installed on my xda, and it would be a long time. (I have 512MB SD full with progz)

First of all, thx to Towa :D , because his BTprog works on my XDA but if I'm trying tu uninstall Widcomm, there's no sound anymore. But if I put it back and leave the MS + Towa + Widcomm BTmanagers working together everything is ok, sound is ok. I deleted Widcomm from the Startup folder.

Just one little thing I don't need the Widcomm anymore but I need the sound :) So if somebody has an idea without hard-resetting to uninstall the Widcomm I'm waiting. I have few kBytes to hold some free space for this 'old' BTManager :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] tbd@immigrantsong.de:
Just an observation :!: :

If you have a GPS-application that can automatically scan COM1 through COM8 to find the GPS-device disable this before enabling the GPS!

The XDA executes a soft reset when the scan passes through COM6, presumably because this is reserved for the internal BT-headset. Once I fixed it to COM7 everything goes well.

Had it happen to me a couple of times using Falk City Maps :(

:idea: By the way: it really does make sense to hard reset the device if you installed that Widcomm stack BEFORE installing towa's fix. Otherwise, you may not be able to select a serial port, b ecause they are still blocked in the registry by Widcomm.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Tuningszocske:
You have no right because I have all the three apps on my phone and I tried to use Towa's fix to select a serial port and because the Widcomm is on it offers just one port (COM5) but it's enough for me to use one BT GPS :)

So, I selected this COM5 and it works fine with the GPS navigation and the BT headset simultaneously.

THat's it.

Turning XDA/MDA II off...

Hello

I was very glad to see that some guys are working on the BT problem with the MDA/XDA II. So I installed the resco explorer and did what was mentioned in the forum but then didn't find the MyTry2.zip on the server and therefore used the BluetoothGPS.cab to install the new stack. All right it seems to work but after putting the device off and then on again I always receive the message "couldn't initialize bluetooth"! and then I have to put BT off an on again. What can I do to solve this?

Re: fortuna gps

I have the Fortuna GPSmart, I cannot comment on it working with XDA2 but it looks like it works fine with the patch, I think you are getting a reasonable deal. As you may be aware the gpsmart is also a stand alone gps, can be used via bluetooth or wired to many other pda's using available cables, I got a data cable from ebay for £3.75 (mini usb lead) and used a usb lighter attachment to power the unit. It is very sensitive and I have managed to get 3d signal inside my house. I have used it with ipaq 3870, 3970 and also with ipaq 3630 with bluetooth sleeve, no problems of any kind for me.

Screen Colour lost

Here I am, waiting patiently for the my GPS delivery - interestingly getting the Fortuna Clip On instead of the Rikaline so must be the same supplier as Starman - and I've lost the colour from the screen. Gone from supersonic to black and white.

Anyone else had this problem ? Have taken it back to O2 who are sending it for repair - but they seem foxed as well. No dropped unit, water etc etc - it just lost the colour - weird.

Net result is that I won't be able to test the brilliant TOWA fix until I get it back.

BTW - I've now suggested the O2 sales people access this site if they start to get customer complaint about XDA2/Bluetooth connections. If their parent company can't sort things out they'll have to turn to a man who can.

You should be getting some real dosh out of the likes of O2 and T-Mobile for the work you have done TOWA.

A very grateful ..... mg
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Tuningszocske:
Re: fortuna gps

Starman:

I'm using Fortuna Clip-on which is more precise than the GPSmart, but the same price. And not at last it made by XTRAC-technology what gives you more exact positioning for example between high buldings in a town. Although I think it's an unuseable thing because XTRAC has a delayed positioning which gives not-exactly-correct positioning on a map, because if you turn 90degrees left, it draws an arc of a circle, and it calculates the average of the position points.

But without reference to this I compared that device with the EMTAC bluetooth GPS, and they have practically the same result in the same conditions, but EMTAC has double price.

So, finally I suggest you can buy this Fortuna Clip-on without any doubt.

Have a lucky purchase!

navman GPS 4400

Just wondering if anyone has an idea as to how I can get my bluetooth Navman 4400 connected to my XDA-II (Microsoft stack) - when I try to pair the devices it prompts for a pairing key, but the NavMan doesn't use one.

With the widcomm stack and bt stack on my PPC2002 3970 pairing is painless and doesn't even prompt for a key, but the microsoft doesn't seem to want to proceed with pairing without me entering something, at which point the pairing fails :(

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately it doesn't actually solve my problem...

The microsoft stack will only let me tap in numerical passkeys, while the navman needs alpha characters... the 4400 will either pair if no passkey is entered or if the passkey 'NAVMAN' is used, unfortunately the stack supplied on the xda-ii insists i use some kind of numerical string, the button to proceed is grayed out unless you enter at least one character.

Thanks towa, and good work on your efforts with the bluetooth tools :)

The 4400 doesn't have any pc-linkup though, so I'm not sure how we'd go about changing anything.

If there was a registry entry for the microsoft to allow empty keys to be sent, to enable the alpha characters (it shows the full keyboard but only allows 1-0 to be selected) or just circumvent key entry entirely I'm pretty sure that would fix0r it too :)

Hello Everybody

In fact there is an UPGRADE ready and existing, solving the COM port PROBLEM but not yet PUBLIC,

it is one nice 40 MB RUU file which will uprgade your unit to english language:

Microsoft Pocket PC version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)

ROM version: 1.60.00WWE

ROM date: 12/03/03

Radio version: 1.06.01

Protocol version: 1337.16

ExtROM version: 1.60.06

I have it, and I am willing to share! Please email me for the ftp details.

The most important change is that bluetooth has finally COM ports functionality! and EMTAC or SOCKET Bluetooth GPS works well with it!!

(tested myself). As it is quite new, I may want something in return, like serial number for some applications, but I am looking only for the few ones.

The problem with Medion Navigon

Some users reported that Medion Navigon doesn't seem to work correctly with my driver.

I analyzed this issue and the reason seems to be that Navigon passes a 256 byte to my driver. The Microsoft stack therefore waits for 256 byte until it returns them to the me. (This behaviour is correct and intended). In the meanwhile Navigon thinks it has lost the connection to the GPS. All other programs use smaller buffers of only up to 8 bytes. I updated my driver to use by default only 8 bytes of the buffer even if it is bigger. (8 bytes is usually the size of the FIFO of real serial port). I did again tests with all known programs and it seems to work now perfectly with Navigon. I also got a positive reply from a beta tester. (I 'm living in Madrid and I have only a demo version with a map of Düsseldorf).

The updated version will be available this evening on both mirrors of my website when I get home.
