Hi!

Thanks for your answer. I found the follwing updates on the TOMTOM Site:

TOMTOM NAvigator 2.24

GPS 2.08

I download both files to my Deskptop PC. Unpack the folders and starts the setup (first Nav. afterwards GPS). Sme routines are runnning, but no questions to transfer Data to my MDA II. So nothing happens to my MDA II and the SOUND is not running like before.

PLEASE HELP ME WHAT CAN I DO?

Use your original cd and install the voices again.

That will probably sort you out.

TomTom with the new 1_60ROM

Hi all!

I have a question here. The bluetooth option in the new 1.60ROM is now avaliable for COM4 and COM5.

But my problem is the TomTomGPS utility doesn't know the port COM5 just COM1,2,6,9 + infrared + serial on USB.

So, any idea how can I use my BluetoothGPS with TomTom?

(It works with other GPS-prog with COM5)

thx

H Towa,

Thanks for your wonderful job although I don't use any GPS or thing like this, I think people like you are necessary to make things work better.

One question : I must be doing something wrong but I cannot ActiveSync at all using Bluetooth. I tried with and without you're utility and when I click on Connect via Bluetooth, I don't have any dialog box coming up.

I can send and receive files so I know Bluetooth is working.

What can I check to make sure I didn't make anything wrong?

Thanks

Does the Towa BT Stack fix the pairing issue with Navman GPS

Ive read through the thread, but I cant see if loading this new version solves the pairing of devices (cant do it at the moment as the XDA will only allow numeric entry, and the Navman instructions tell you to enter NAVMAN).

I'll try the download later, but would appreciate if anyone could answer this.

XDA II TomTom 2.24 and Holux GR 230 Bluetooth GPS -PLS HELP

I have an XDA II and I am unable to use TomTom 2.24 with my Holux GR 230 Bluetooth GPS. I have already done the following:

Upgraded to TomTom GPS 2.09

Installed the Pocket Bluetooth Tools (and created the Bluetooth com port)

Tried various settings in TomTom GPS as there is not a listing for Holux GR 230.

It seems as though the GPS will communicate with the XDA II, and shows that it picks up satalite signals. When I start TomTom Navigator, the Blue GPS light on the receiver flashes to show that it is transferring data, but TomTom Navigator states GPS position unreliable.

PLEASE PLEASE can someone out there help me. If there is a solution, please explain in basic terms / step-by-step as I am far from an expert on PDAs.

Thanks to anyone out there that can help.

printer

Hi there.

I've just read all the post to connect my EXTECH S2500THS bluetooth printer to the MDA II.

Microsoft stack always asks me a PIN to bound the printer but I don't know the PIN printer nor how to set it (there's no istructions in the manual about the pin). So I can't even use the Towa BT Stack fix because it also asks for a PIN.

So I revert back using the widcomm stack. It works ok (it doesn't need a pin) but there is the problem that every time the MDA goes off the connection is lost and when you switch on again it says "bluetooth could not initialize ..."

So, how to workaround these problems? Is there a way not to be asked for a PIN?

Thank you all.

Re: XDA II TomTom 2.24 and Holux GR 230 Bluetooth GPS -PLS H

I'm using exactly the same combination and it works just fine (apart from the crap reception, high latency of the holux!). In TT GPS, select NMEA 9600 (or NMEA Bluetooth) as the source. Is the mapped com port listed?

If that doesn't work, my next fix would be a hard reset!

BTW, you haven't changed any of the holux's internal settings, have you? Like NMEA to SIRF, or a different speed? Because that could explain it.

I will try again. It has been suggested to run the gps down completely so it resets itself to the factory defaults. Perhaps this will help. Do you still need to use the GPS Viewer that came with the GPS? If you can explain what you have done from start to finish, I will follow steps and you never know... it might finally work.

Thanks for input. Look forward to reply.

Re: XDA II TomTom 2.24 and Holux GR 230 Bluetooth GPS -PLS H

The short version: Bought XDA II & HOLUX 230 at the same time but obviously couldn't get it to work as I knew nothing about the XDA II's BT/Serial issues. Tried reconfiguring the HOLUX and locked it up (due to a bug in the firmware). Found out about BT/Serial issues and installed corrective software but still didn't work as HOLUX was out of sync. Rang HOLUX who said that it couldn't be 'fixed' over BT connection and that I would either need a data cable (supplied USB cable is power only) or wait up to a month for HOLUX to go flat. Availability on new cable was at least two weeks so I managed to keep my paws off the HOLUX for about 3-1/2 weeks and then it works again. BINGO!

However, I can drive for 10-15 minutes before I get a lock, IF I get a lock at all. It drops the lock frequently. I can get anything from 2 'gray' sat signals to 6 'red' (locked) signals - it's all over the place. I only drive a clio 172 so I don't think it has a (signal blocking) heat reflective windscreen so I'm confused as the HOLUX seems to have a good rep. I'll have to call them again before I buy something else.

I suggest that if you want to know anything more, PM me rather than us hijacking this thread.

What is Pocket Bluetooth Tools?

http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/

Pocket Bluetooth Tools adds the missing Bluetooth functions to the O2 XDA II (or other compatible PDAs like the MDA II).

The current version includes:

Support for the SSP profile (serial port), e.g. for GPS receivers or modems

Support for ActiveSync (synchronization with Outlook and Internet connection)

Switch Bluetooth on and off automatically

The current version 1.60 of the ROM includes already a virtual serial port but unfortunately it is a dynamic port, which is not visible to many applications. Also the ActiveSync support is difficult and complicated to use and if you want to synchronize with different computers you have always to couple the device again.

For future releases I plan the following improvements:

Support for Bluetooth headsets

Support for Bluetooth network access points

Send contacts and files through Bluetooth

GPS Blues-tooth

First Post,

I have tried to set up a Navman 4400 BT GPS receiver, but with no success. I cannot even pair the device as the Navman uses an alphabetical Passkey, but the BT Manager (such as it is) will only support numerical Passkeys.

I am in discussion with Navman, but this seems to confirm that the XDA does have some BT issues with Com ports.

today I installed a bluetooth NOKIA fixed carkit (wich works perfectily with nokia phones such as the 6600 I tested)

unfortunatelly Qtek 2020 has again a problem with this : bounding the divices is no problem but further on the nokia carkit does not seem to be able to communicate with the phone

suggestions ? anyone ?

somebody suggested the problem lies within the fact that the Qtek allows only headset-bluetooth ... but does this really makes a difference ? the headset does exactly the same thing as a carkit, no ?

Fortuna &XDA2

Hi guys,

I have read this thread from page 1. I was directed here by the company I purchased the tomtom kit from because of the problems. I still have the problem...

I am running the fortuna clip-on with tomtom 2 on the xda2.

I have...

Hard reset the XDA2

Loaded on the patch from Toxa (Cheers - donation on its way)

loaded on the tomtom2

loaded on the v2.09 patch from tomtom

paired the fortuna with my xda2

set up the gps with a number of diferent settings but at the moment it is set at NMEA 0183v2 38400 and fortuna on com4

It still doesn't pick up the information from the receiver. There is no indication of data traffic between the little satalite icon and the pda icon on the status screen and it still says 'gps position unreliable' on the main screen but the little blue light on the fortuna receiver is flickering away quite happily.

Further more, after I have run the gps wizard, when I go back into the BT screen (by pressing the BT icon on the bottom right) it still lists the three options i.e. on, off and discoverable but the circles to the left and the ability to choose any of then have gone and only return after a soft reset???

What have I not done right??????

Your help would be so much appreciated. Has anybody else had this problem?

Working but still problems

Many many hours after posting the message I got it working.

It started working after I discovered the slide (to change between st and xt) behind the on-off switch was half way between the two and must have come from the factory like that.

Cardfather thanks for your pm, the patch can be found on the link a few pages back from here.

Even though the GPS is now working, I am finding that the BT side of things are a little unstable at times. I still occassionally have the problem on the BT screen on the XDA2 (after pressing the BT symbol bottom right of screen) where the three options are shown but the circles to the left have dissapeared and you cannot choose any of the three options. (The three options being on, off and discoverable). This means I can't switch off the BT. This problem is resolved by soft resetting the XDA2 but has re-occured on occassions??!!

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Towa, occasionally the dialog boxes pop up regarding whether I want to switch on or off the BT in respect to the use of attachments but not all the time. Is this common with your patch?

Problem with Fortune BT-clipon & Jabra 250

I have a similar problem as Wolf with the radio buttons.

However the combination Fortuna BT-clipon/Jabra 250/TomTom also has a more urgent problem:

When I switch on the Jabra 250 while the BT on the XDA-2 is ON, TomTom does not want to reconnect anymore to the BT-GPS.

A workaround is to switch OFF the BT on the XDA-2. Then restart TomTom and have Towa's Pocket Bluetooth Tool start the BT on the XDA-2 again (do not forget to enable the BT-headset mode as well after this).

Another workaround is to switch the XDA-2/BT OFF prior to switching on the Jabra 250.

Or softreset the XDA after switching on the Jabra.

Quite clumsy procedures, which I quite often forget. Can anyone think of a more permanent solution to this problem???

Using TomTom 2.24; GPS driver v.2.09 (2.08 gives the same problem).

XDAII

Hi there all, firstly very informative thread, would be good if XDA had the same kind of resource.

Anyway, I am developing software that uses a bluetooth scanner. The scanners currently available will only seem to work with the widcomm stack. (I have tried to get them going using Towas BT patch but had no success)

I install widcomm stack onto the XDAII, remove the MS stack and the scanner works fine. No problems there.

Now I want to run a headset as well (BT400 GII). Now this runs perfectly with the old MS stack but I can not get the "Bluetooth headset mode is disabled" to point to the Widcomm Stack. It keeps wanting to start the MS version.

I assume i need to change some registry entries but the links for the reg edit programs do not seem to work in this thread anymore. So has anyone out there got the "Bluetooth headset mode enabled" to work when the Widcomm stack is being used?

Any help would be fantastic as I am starting to go crazy getting this to work..

Hi All,

Just purchased TomTom Navigator 3 Bluetooth GPS (UK) (( http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=TOMTOM3BTUK ))

With my XDA II it worked straight out of the box. My XDA II is standard with no upgrades/patches etc and it still works with my Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset HBH-35 (( http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=105947 )) and takes calls no problem.

It does not come with a car charger and I do not have an XDA II car charger either. What is the best recommendation for this? I already have a mount for the XDA II.

TOMTOM obviously recommend the TomTom XDA Navigator Car Kit (Complete) (( http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=111504 )) but I don't really need the mount.

Has anyone seen a cigarette socket charger which will charge the XDA II but also have a connector for the TomTom Bluetooth lead?

XDA II, TomTom 3 and TT BlueTooth Receiver

BlueTooth has been the cause of much headscratching with my XDA II. Everything else is cool, but the BT support is .... dire.

So it was with my newly acquired TomTom BT receiver. Set it up, no errors, no problems. Bonded/paired the receiver OK but absolutely nothing in the GPS status. Tried various permutations without getting anywhere.

But then, Success :D - I dropped the BlueTooth bond for the receiver and recreated it. This time, when prompted "This device supports serial bluetooth profile, do you want to create a COM port etc." I chose No, and the whole thing jumped into life.

<Gripe mode on>

Admittedly I ran through the TT setup pretty quickly, but don't remember anywhere being told NOT to create a COM port. My TomTom box contained no printed manual or setup guide other than the poster for the car kit/holder (which I don't have anyway) and the CD manual is pretty useless.

:? Was it me? Did I miss something obvious? I'm a relative newbie to PocketPCs, BlueTooth and even GPS technologies, but I'm surprised that getting the XDA II to talk reliably to other devices is such a struggle.

<Gripe mode off>

Anyway, hopefully if others hit the same problem then this post may point them in the right direction.
