I have a fortuna bluetooth gps and i have rom vrsion 1.72 on my xda2 and i cannot get it to work properly with tomtom. I allso have the latest version in tomtom gps and i have the bluetooth tools by towa can anyone please help.
When you bonded the gps did you choose "serial profile". What settings are you using in tomtom? Which fortuna gps is it, on my xda2 the gpsmart needs no bt tools and neither does the gr230.
it is fotuna clipon. it bonds ok, it asks about serial port but dose not give a port number. in tomtom i select tomtom wirless gps and bluetooth gps.
thanks
Starman:
DO NOT use BT Tools (not needed with rom 1.72)
Bond the BT GPS, say yes to create com port.
In TomTom GPS select
- NMEA xxxx Bluetooth and
- COM5 or (better!) Bluetooth GPS
- tick blue-ish box
Should work right away
Remember you only get fixes with a clear view of the sky!!
I would like to know if:
- You can tick the blue-ish box with Bluetooth GPS (instead of COM5) selected or not
- What the origin of your 1.72 ROM is: iMate, Qtek, T-Mobile beta
the rom was posted by wax hit is the himalayen rom i tryed all the thigs that you said and it is still the same.
could you be more specific?
There is no user 'wax' nor has anyone with a username like that posted a message with RUU172* in it . . .
BTW I suppose its not enough to uninstall BT Tools, to be sure its gone do a hard-reset
I have the Fortuna BTCliponGPS unit with an XDA2 but only with the 1.60.00 WWE ROM from O2.
Do EXACTLY what edsub said:
1. Go to Bluetooth Settings (in Settings) and make sure that Bluetooth Serial Port setup is enabled for both Inbound (COM4) and Outbound (COM5)
2. Delete any ClipOn-BTGPS devices showing on in your Bluetooth device list and reconnect. Don't forget that the Fortuna device uses 0000 (4x zeros) as its passkey and that you must allow it to create a COM port when it asks.
3) I presume you are using TomTom Navigator with this? Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the very latest GPS software AND the TomTom Navigator application update.
4) Stand outside in the pouring rain waiting for the blasted GPS unit to lock onto a satellite.
will this work w/ TT3.01?
Do we have to update to TomTom 3.03 + GPS 3.03, or can the Fortuna Clip & XDA II work with version 3.01 +gps 3.01?
No you dont have to update the drivers etc, but the latest version runs alot faster.
Im running an xda2 tt3 and bt fortuna clipon and bttools, ROM 1.66.00. I have NO problems at all with this configuration.

The Pilgrim
I use Dconnex DC-230 bluetooth with my XDAII ROM 1.72, and Tomtom 2.
I had to upgrade TOMtom to 2.24 and GPS to 3.03, the in tomtom i chose SIRF BT and Bluetooth GPS. and as edsub said you nedd to check the blueish box, but don't stand in the rain waiting for signal, you will get a message saying no signal found??.
BTW when bonding my GPS I opted for NO serial ports.
anybody knows how to keep the GPS bonded all the time (other than leaving it on and next to the XDA all the time)
Hi,
I have problems connecting to my bt headset since I have installed TomTom3. I am running the build3500 bluetooth stack from the 1.06.02 FRA radio. It was working fine without even losing connection with the mda, but after I installed tomtom, it can pair, but cannot connect. The weird thing is that I can sync using bluetooth. I suspect tomtom is keeping busy some of the bt com ports? i noticed that during installation, it required to close bluetooth (cause it said the file BtcoreIf.dll was in use) and as soon as I did that, it finished installation, but since then the headset stopped working. Anyone has similar problems??
Thanks in advance for any input.
Update
Managed to sort it out by upgrading my BT stack to 1.0.0.3900. Still cannot find any similar complaints in any forums. Can it just happen to my MDA III? Who knows....at least it works now, even if my engineering background is not happy with it :shock:
Upgrading the bluetooth stack
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem as you had, although I'm on the UK network Vodafone and have an XDA2s.
My current radio version is 1.06.02 but I can't fine what version my bluetooth stack is. How do I upgrade to 1.0.0.3900?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Hi,
I am using Qtek9090 with TomTom 3.07 and Jabra BT800 headset and have not the problems you people talk about here. I have to mention that I immediately updated my BT version from 2400 to 3900 the same day I purchased the whole stuff. I was - when I was in the shop - told that TomTom 3.07 can sometimes cause problems due to BT version of Qtek (1.0.0.2400) and I better upgrade it to 3500 and/or 3900. I was also told that there were known problems with earlier versions of TomTom wireless (like in your case TomTom 3.03) and that I (at least) had to use TT 3.07 and/or better upgrade the BT driver of my Qtek9090. In order to find your current BT version:
- Click on Bluetooth icon
- Select Bluetooth Settings
- Go to [About] tab
- And there you see your own Build
- You can also select [Advanced] button in [About] for more details
Anyway, once being at home and taking my device out of package I did a BT upgrade to 1.0.0.3900 right away and so far I have no issue with BT stack. Even Jabra BT800 which a lot people complain about works fine with my Qtek9090 (OK, I admit the CallerID at Jabra still not working but I already expected that).
I downloaded the 3900 version of Bluetooth driver (plus another Audio driver) at the following URL in The Netherlands: http://www.pdanieuws.nl/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=37

tomtom gps
The problem is that tomtom is messing around a bit with bluetooth for bt gps receivers.
So after installing tomtom allways reinstall the latest bt drivers.
AFAIK you should always use TTN 3.07 (GPS and Navigator) on SE and Phone Edition devices (Blue Angels is both WM2003SE and Phone Edition)
Big Fat TY
I was getting stupid before reading this 3d.
Even went back to the shop with the motorola headset and had them show me it was working....
Tom Tom was the reason.

This link is not working at the moment, is there another link for this, i am running an xdaIIs and installed navigator3 and could bond but not connect to my bt headset.
will try the stack upgrade also a link fopr nav3 3.07 would be handy too...
cheers.
all sorted now, have got the files and fixed the issue.
Have had my Orange SPV M2000 for the past month & neither TomTom support or Orange have been able to resolve:
TomTom Navigator 3 shows "GPS Disabled" at the Settings> System> GPS> gps> screen the device shows "TomTom Wireless GPS" in the top box & "Bluetooth GPS" in the box below. The large 'button' to their left is grey/blue, but it does not respond to selection.
Does anyone USE TomTom + TomTom Wireless GPS on their Blue Angel?
Having used TomTom on my previous XDA2 & SPV M1000 have tried EVERYTHING to get it working...resets, re-loaded TomTom, Bluetooth sees the TomTom GPS & works with my BT headset
Peter
I've had this problem with XDA2 and with a rom prior to SE.
Never knew why I couldn't enable TomTom Wireless GPS , but you might wanna try enabling a standard NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth driver. It should/might work also.
Ever since i installed 2003SE I can enable TomTom Wireless GPS

Thanks

It works fine for me with a Tomtom Bluetooth and Tomtom 3 on my XDAiis
Lots of questions, hopefully one will point you in the right direction -
1. Have you ued the updated version of tomtom and the tomtom GPS driver, the Blueangel is a WM2003SE device and will not work without the patch. v3.07 from tomtom download
Mine cam with 2 CD's, I installed Tomtom from the update CD with v307 and the maps/voices etc from the normal CD.
2. Does the GPS pair OK with yuor PDA, can you see it in the "Bluetooth Manager" as a device, can you conect to it from here
3. Have you tried running the standalone "GPS" application installed with TomTom rather than the full app, go to the HW tab at the bottom of this and ensure Bluetooth device selected and hit the tick button
4. Does the GPS unit work with any other applications like Navio from tiny stocks - they have a demo you can try
5. What colour and flash rates are the LEDS are on the GPS
If you cant figure it out post answers to the above Q's and I'll try and help
Cheers Wayne
Check the settings in the bluetooth manager to see which outgoing bt com port is in use. Mine was doing this until I checked this to see it was using com6. I then set the GPS second drop down box to com6 and all was well.
Also make sure you are using the latest Nav and GPS version from tomtom.com (v 3.07 I think).

As it just worked for me I'm stuck. Only other thoughts are:
Do you have any other serial devices or use GPSGate in use or are you using Bluetooth Activesync?
Try deleteing the device in the Bluetooth managher and re pair, I dont have authentication selected in the properties in the Bluetooth settings.
When I said try the GPS with a different application I meant on the Blueangel, Navio is another GPS program
Good luck
Hi y'all,
i have a BT GPS receiver that i used with my Qtek 2020 (before this was stolen... ).
Now i have a XDA Exec from O2, but i am not able to set the receiver!
Anyone has any tip for me?
Thanks a lot...
...no one can help me out...??? Please...
Check out this guide and follow from after installing tomtom and you should get BT GPS working with exec, I did!!!
ps search term used was 'tomtom 5.1 guide'
hope this helps!

Hello,
first the bad news: not every bt-reciever is working...
but you should try this way:
Connection-Manager
Enable BT
Setting (Connection-Manager) BT-Settings
Tab devices and ad new partnership (be sure, BT-Reciever is on)
Pair it with your Universal (pin is usuall 0000)
Tap Com-Ports: new outgoing Port (your BT-Reciever) set to com 4
Tap Com-Ports: new incomming port (your BT-Reciever) set to com 8
Now it should work!
Thanks for the tipo...now i don't have my GPS receiver with me...but tomorrow i will give it a try.
The only thing that i find strange is: when i try to set the outgoing port i find my BT receiver in a box, but when i try to set the incoming port i dont' find it anywhere.
Something wrong?
Oh...and also...i use the software "GPS View" for the connection with the BT receiver...which port should i open (the COM4, the COM8 or another one?).
I ask you this because i have 10 COM ports available (from 1 to 10), but i cannot open all of them, because some tell me "COM porte error" when i try to open it.
Thanks for your help...
can anyone confirm if haicom-405 bt works with dopod 900?

I follow the tips ...outgoing port (COM4 - which the only port can be used other failed to open), incoming port (COM8).
But it doesnt work with my Garmin10 .... which work well with my previous XDAIIs. Anyone use Garmin1o with Dopo900?
Thanks
Usually, there's no need to setup an ingoing COM port: my Holux 236 receiver, for instance, works perfectly paired with my Qtek 9000 and only the outgoing COM8 setup'd.
The only thing to pay attention for is that TomTom have to be v5.1 or above (better if v5.21), in order to work properly under Windows Mobile 5.0.
Well...in my previous XDAII worked perfectly using the software MAPSONIC and the GPS VIEWER with my BT receiver (and just setting the outgoing port).
I tried to do like Teja told me in his answer (setting the outgoing COM4 and the incoming COM8), but it still does not work.
I will try to get a TOMTOM 5.1 software to give it a try...
solved...and i don't need to setup the ingoing port...thanks for the tips
Hi there! I have MDA Pro from T-mobile (UK) and until now I couldn't set a COM port appart of COM0 port for BT-GPS...
Now have COM4 for outgoing port and tom tom once is connected after 5 seconds is disconnected and again after 5 seconds is connected and again is disconnected and again......
I am using TT 5.21
Help please
I have set the outgoing port on COM8, no ingoing port needed and it works fine...although i don't have TOMTOM!!!
Orange M5000 and BT GPS and TOMTOM 5.21
I thought I share this just in case there are other like me out there.
I had an Orange M2000 with tomtom 5.0 and 512MB SD card.
I installed TT5 as normal on the PDA but the maps on the 512MB SD card.
I just got an Orange M5000 which is XDA EXEC and could not install TOMTOM 5.0 from CD. The SETUP kept on crashing on XP PC.
Here is the solution:
1) Put the SD card with the maps in M5000
2) Did NOT install TT5 from CD but downloaded navupd521.exe from the tomtom site and installed this on M5000 fine.
NOTE: I did not have to copy CAB files. I just installed this as normal from my PC with the USB cable
3) TT installed fine but I could not get it to recognise the BT GPS
I used the instructions below from the forum:
a) Turn on BT GPS
b) on PDA goto BlueTooth seeting --> New Partnership and supply the password (0000) to pair it.
c) Then in Bluetooth settings select the COM PORTS tab
d) Select Incoming port and set to COM8
e) and again in COM PORTS tab select Outgoing ports and select COM4
f) Start TOMTOM and goto Preferences and find GPS Configuration and select OTHER GPS and select COM4
It works every time... ALL my FAvourites etc are still there so no need to type them again.
So far WM5 and TT5 rocks. I will be testing it on the road with my Plantronics BT headset soon. With my old M2000, usually when TT5 is on the M2000 CPU does not have the juice and Bluetooth devices die or stop responding. Also when I stopped TT5 application the BlueTooth stopped.
We will see how M5000 improves on M2000
Thax...
i believe you shouldnt have a problem running your headset and bluetooth GPS together.
when i had a blue angel i ran TT3 with my SonyErricson Car Kit and the TT3 together and made vioce calls at the same time and even now with the Universal i can do the same! run them both together!
only thing is that occasionaly the TT5 seems to be a little behind my actual location if i have made/received a call luckily by only 30-40 yards so can still use the screen to see where my turnings are.
has anyone else found that and got the cure....
thanks
hi there
new to this forum which looks very interesting. Hence asking answer for a problem.
i have bought a Holox BT-321 gps receiver which is blue tooth enabled and i am trying my xda exec to recognise it. aftre turning both devices on xda can see the receiver but puts a yellow question mark before its name.
when turn the gps software on ((Medion Navigator) it does not recognise presence of the gps receiver.
i have great hopes that out there some one does know the answer to this.
to me it appears a software conflict as xda can not install this receiver.
i have tried O2 but they politely refused and asked me to contact gps receiver makers who in turn say the receiver is working fine!!
i was about to pay for a software pathway for sale at ebay but it had been banned by the ebay.
so help please
mohammad asif
Assuming that you did set a port for it (not sure whether it's incoming or outgoing) on the Exec for the GPS unit, you'll probably have to set the port to see the GPS unit on the software also.
That's how I got my GPS unit to work with my software. Please note that the software and the GPS unit that I'm using are not the same as yours. So results might vary.
I too am having exactly the same issues with the Holox 321 and o2 Exec. If anyone has had success pairing a using these two devices and can post a step-by-step walkthrough on how to do it I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
MDA Pro and BT321
I have got exactly the same problem. It seem that the bluetooth works but the GPS receiver is not recognised. I was thinking of it could be missing drivers or something along those lines
I'm seeing a trend...
hi all,
My m8 has one of them on an XDA2i and the only way we could get it working with TT5 was to set it up as other NMEA GPS on com 6, that did the trick
hope that helps
Thanks BBD, that may help. Trouble is though, I can't even get it to pair correctly. The Exec seems to go through the motions, but the blue light that's meant to flash whenpairing is successful just stays solid.
I also get the question mark appear next to the device in the list of BT devices. What OS is your friend using? WM5 or PPC2003?
hi m8,
he is using WM2003SE, he two has the question mark beside his device I think that just means it does not have a Windows Certificate nothing more, just cheked my TOMTOM device has the question mark too and that works fine
Matt
hi,
just double checked and this is how it worked, pair the GPS receiver up, then go into TomTom and use the NMEA devices with baud rate of 38400 then select bluetooth on com6 and bingo bango your off
cheers
Matt
I think my problem occurs before TT5 is even invloved. From what I've seen WM2005 is very different from PPC2003 as far as BT goes.
I search for a new device and the BT-321 is seen as normal. I select it then enter the sec. key; ok so far. then I'm ask what services I want to use (only "serial port" is available). I select this, then finish. At this point I expect the blue BT light to start flashing telling me I have a successful pairing, but it stays solid. I have tried creating a new outgoing port, but no change.
Until I can get a successful pairing my BT port doesn't appear in the list in TT5, so I can't select it.
I wish I could find someone who has successfully paired these two devices...
Bump.
I can pair my mini s to the bluetooth reciever, but not tt5
i have paired my bluetooth reciever with my xda mini s but when i go to select it in tt5 none of the comports correspond with any i can pair the reciever with. I have installed bttools but this hasnt helped either. someone suggested i needed to build a com port but i dont know where to start, and they also said its because its an xda that theres comport problems, i donubt im the first one with this issue. i pray someone can help me out, would be much appriciated.
email [email protected]
Same problem on my Wizard with the Gpslim 236. However, my fiend brought over his rikaline last night and it worked very quickly. Go figure. I think I'll be exchanging today.
I got the BT321 working with the Universal no problem.
It paired okay, gave me the COM Port option which I took, showed the icon with ? on it.
Going to the COM Ports tab, I created an outgoing port (COM0).
In TT5.21 (I think you need the latest version of TT5) I selected COM0 and after a while it found it no problem..
F.
paring xda exec + gps holux 236
i did pare the 2 after updating tomtom to 5.21 free from tomtom web site then u get com 8 were u can set the outgoing port from the xda ,voila
I have XDA EXEC and have successfully installed the Holux BT-321 Bluetooth GPS. It runs perfectly with a number of GPS applications - so I know the port/Bluetooth configuration is ok. I had to choose an unused com port (0 or 4 work fine). (Ports 1,2,3,6,7,and 9 seem to be already used by the XDA EXEC - so could not be seleted).
BUT (going back to the first post) Medion Navigator (4.2) does NOT recognise the new GPS port. Instead it has options to select ports com1,2,3,6,7,9 but not the "new" port where the GPS is actually configured!
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
After several hours trawling forums and trying lots of things here's what worked for me on an XDA Exec running WM5. In fact I was shocked when it worked! In return for this can someone please think up the next thing after Toothache! The WM5 bluetooth connection thing could also do with a re-write - as could the WM5/XDA Exec instructions/FAQs/help, etc... on BT:
If your aim is to get TomTom working AND you're using a non-TomTom BT GPS, try this (the TomTom GPS seems to install itself without much problem):
1. Pair the GPS with your device BEFORE installing TomTom, because the GPS port needs to be already setup on your device for TomTom to recognise when installed.
2. Then install TomTom
3. Launch the BT connection thing in WM5. Make sure the BT is discoverable (first tab). Select 'Security' tab and ensure 'Authentication (Passkey) required is checked.
4. Go to 'Devices' tab and select 'new partnership...' The pairing thing should find your GPS and will then ask for the passkey - select next WITHOUT entering anything even if there's a passkey. If you enter the passkey now you will not get step 5 which is a crucial milestone.
5. The device should now ask if you want to add the GPS to your list, select yes
6. The name of the GPS is shown. Ensure 'serial' port is checked and hit next
7. You will be asked for the passkey again - enter it this time
8. At this point the GPS may look like it's not paired. The lights may flash as if unpaired. You'll also get a question mark icon next to the GPS in your list. Not to worry.
9. Select 'com ports' tab and select 'new outgoing port'. You should see your GPS listed. Select it and hit next. From the list of ports select COM8. Make sure the 'Secure connection' is UNCHECKED - otherwise you'll be pairing everytime you start TomTom! Select Finish. You should see your GPS (COM8) listed in 'COM ports' tab.
10. Turn off 'device is discoverable' (first tab).
11. Now install TomTom. Having installed the GPS as above, TomTom will now know about COM8 i.e. where your GPS is to be found. If you hadn't done that first there would be no COM8 and no GPS connected to it as far as TomTom is concerned.
12. Turn on the GPS
13. Launch TomTom and go to 'preferences/ GPS Settings'. Select 'configure'. Select 'Other bluetooth GPS'
14. You should get a list of ports and with any luck you should see 'COM8' - select it and hit 'done'.
15. I think at this point the GPS page in TomTom came alive, or maybe I had to restart TomTom - can't remember. And it works thus far!
Toothache - what a palaver!
BT/GPS Problems
Hi,
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

Hi,
I`m a new member.After installing your litle tool i can`t start this application and also can`t find it under programs or anywhere else?
I`m using a T-Mobile MDA Compact II with WM5 latest ROM, a Holux BT321 and TomTom6. `have expierences with BT and XDA`s using TT5 for a long time.
After upgrading to new devices and new sw i have the following problems:
I can connect the BT321 as a BT Mouse and get a good signal.Using TomTom6 the navigation works with a delay of round about 100 meter. I`m looking for a resolution to connect the BT321 via the NMEA Interface.
regards
