Hi Guys,
Just changed to the XDA2s from the XDA2, and i've got real problems getting my TomTom GPS to work. All set up fine on the standard 2, but it just won't work with the XDA2s. Does anyone know how to get it linked!!
Cheers
James
I don't know if this'll help so sorry if this isn't relevant, but I'm using a Navman GPS with the Tom Tom software, which although is different hardware does work ok.
I just have mine set to: "TomTom Wireless GPS" and in the second box "Bluetooth Serial Port 6". The first time you try to connect it asks which Bluetooth device to link com 6 to and after that I work just fine.
Hope that helps somehow!
Cheers, that worked perfectly!
Hi all,
The problem most of us experience is that microsoft removed the function of configuring com ports in their Pocket PC Version 4 build.
I have a program that can sort out the com port problems between the bluetooth and gps software.
I have included the program as an attachment, just unzip it into your PC, make sure you reboot your PDA, sync your PDA to the PC and run setup.
Problems solved.
Cheers,
John
i thought it was only the automatic comport handleing that was removed so you just have to manually set a com port it 2 second of a job
XDA comports
It seems that Microsoft left out our ability to configure com ports altogether. If you try and do a manual configuration with the GPS software it will drive you crazy. I have had so many emails at my hotmail account from people with problems that I have sent this program to and it has fixed thier problem. That is why I decided to put it up here.
Cheers,
John

Bluetooth GPS problem
I have updated the zip file to include a new readme file.
Please follow the instructions.
Unzip file to PC
Reboot PDA.
Sync PDA to PC.
Run Setup.exe
Problem should be fixed, if not reinstall GPS software.
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
Thanks for that.
I tried it and it doesnt appear to have fixed it.
I installed the patch rebooted phone, removed TomTom6 and reinstalled and still cant connect to bluetooth headset, uninstall TomTom6 put on TomTom5 and works, back to 6 still no go.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers
Hi Cozza,
Sorry you are still having a problem, only thing I can suggest is to see if anyone else has a similar problem with TomTom 6, if so you may have to contact them direct and ask for technical assistance.
Just had another thought, could Tom Tom 6 be taking over the port assigned to the headset by default, if so maybe installing the headset after TomTom 6 might work???
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
Yep i have tried that.
Have formatted the phone several times both installing the Bluetooth Car Kit before and after TomTom 6 and still no luck.
TomTom 5 works fine but as soon as updated to TomTom6 Car Kit wont connect, it finds it but just 'connection failed'.
Remove TomTom6 and thinks work OK.
Weird....
Hmmm - What should be different?
I've installed this application, but I still don't see anyway to change either:
1. which port the bluetooth app assigns to the connection (currently port 7)
2. the selection of ports available from TomTom 5.21 to make a connection.
Like everyone else, I've gone through all the port options in TomTom, and it still doesn't connect to the GPS. Other GPS software (everything else I've ever tried - a LOT of software) has no problem connecting to my GPS, so this is obviously a TomTom problem.
Thanks!

I made Headway!
I finally found something to help!!

The above is a step-by-step guide. The key for my HP6325 (63xx series) was to not connect to BlueTooth, but "Other NMEA GPS." After that, the port connection through Bluetooth worked.
Yeah!

It was all working fine up to last week when my sim card packed up, since I've put the new one in it can't find my GPS.
Can anybody please help, before I sling it out the window.

Wizard GPS settings after GPS in phone is unlocked
I own a T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) with the 3-0-0 upgraded ROM and need the GPS settings after GPS in phone is unlocked. Anyone know how to do this?
ok i just installed yahoo go on my herm 8525, how do i use the GPS as in could someone help me on telling me what ports to use, i searched google but i Couldn't find anything on it or about it so could you guys please help?????
Unfortunately my friend there is no internal GPS (working) inside hermes model handsets... You must buy external Bluetooth GPS and the BT set-up will assign a com port to the external GPS which can then be used by any program on the device.

Bluetooth Woes
Hi, I have the same issues, bought a bluetooth keyboard, the driver does not find the bluetooth stack, so it all ends there!
I can see and pair to the device but it does nothing.
Same Phone Vodafone v1520 = ASUS P550.
Has anyone got and answers, comments, help.
The keyborad manufacturer, iGO said, "We no longer make the keyboards, so there will be no further driver updates". Nice!
Any assistance would be greatly appriciated.
bluetooth problem solved
Hi, well I now have a a working bluetooth keyboard. Using it to write this post. The way to fix the issue? buy a different keyboard!
I have now got the Freedom Input unversal keyboard. After a little hassle 'unlocking' the driver with help from their tech support, very fast response, it all seems to work well. The instructions with the packaging aren't very good, but the downloaded manual is a step by step guide. Once paired and thr driver setup, you can turn off the keyboard and blutooth on phone then turn them both on again and away you go, it remembers all the settings. running on Vodafone v1520 - ASUS P550 Windows Mobile 6. many Thanks for your interesting site.
Cheers, Adrian.
Hi folks.
I am a newbe on android and seek help with my tab.
I bought an inexpensive one as I am not a rich man. It has ICS 4.1 on board now.
It is RK2918 based.
The idea was to put sea navigation on it and hand it to my father-in-law on his birthday.
It supports USB OTG but for some reason it refuses accepting my USB GPS mouse. Tried a blutooth dongle but no joy.
The tablet itself doesn't have GPS and bluetooth on board.
The sea navigation tells me its waiting for GPS data while a street navigation told me GPS is off :crying:
Can somebody help me with this issue?
See txt file for link to manufacturer site, where the rom can be downloaded (as I did) and screenshot with USB GPS mouse attached.
Any help appreciated
