Bluetooth headset and tomtom 2

For anybody who is interested. I have a bluetooth headset HBH-200 and also a Fortuna Gpsmart bluetooth gps running Tomtom2, they both work at the same time without problem. When the headset/handsfree issue is sorted out I hope to be able to use the full capability of the HBH-200, will that include being able to listen to mp3 or the output from tomtom through the headset. The reason I posted this is because I have heard others that cant get 2 devices to work at the same time on the bluetooth. I am using the standard xda2 without patches for bluetooth.

what make is the hbh-200?

Bluetooth and the XDA2s - assign button to toggle bluetooth?

For anyone that's interested:
My XDA2s works perfectly with my nokia CK-7W car kit with the standard widcomm software - only for phone audio as you'd expect - xda2s detects the car kit as soon as i turn it on. The only function I can't get it to work with is the voice dial. it does last number redial, answer, reject etc.
It also pairs with my computer and hotsync etc works nicely - no problems there. I was able to pair it with my wife's nokia 6310 and swap MP3/AAC files from the nokia to the xda2s (not that it knew what to do with an atrac ), but can't seem to do it the otherway round as the xda2s only seems to let you push 'obex' calendar, contact etc objects, not files etc.
One question - can I assign a button to toggle bluetooth on and off - i'd prefer not to have to go back to the start menu and turn it on that way - i'd prefer just to press a button on it as i'm getting in the car

You might try using this little app and map h/w button to it. It will toggle bluetooth on/off. Originally for Smartphones but hey it works for me on XDA2 so I'm not quite sure if it's gonna work on widcomm stack but worth a try eh?

nokia CK-7W car kit
Got a nokia CK-7W car kit for my XDA2 only to find out it doesn't work. Could you give me some help with the way you got yours to work ? Where do you find standard widcomm software ?
Thanks

Sorry mine is the XDAiis - it works because it has the half decent WIDCOMM stack on it, not the MS stack in use in the XDA2.
Sorry i can't be more help - don't know if you can rip out the MS stack and use WIDCOMM / Broadcomm drivers instead?

T_Mobile MDA III, TomTom 3.03 and Bluetooth headset problems

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.

Bluetooth Versions - General

Seems to be a lot of problems/issues spread across the forums concerning bluetooth and XDA2/XDA2i in general. :?
Would a specific Bluetooth Forum be an idea, to try and zero in on some of these issues? :idea:
Now that there are an increasing number of BT devices/uses - GPS, headsets, headphones, cameras, laptops, fridges, car setups etc.. it would be good to be able to share info on those uses that actually work well .... and those that don't.
As a starter .....
What is considered the best and most stable BT setup for XDA2 and XDA2i? Does this vary depending on what you are using it for - handsfree, TomTom, or built-in carphone ?
For my own setup, I am using an XDA2i (Bluetooth v1.0.0-3900 by Broadcom) - this works about 75% of the time with my JabraBT250v.
I also have bluetooth factory-fitted by Audi in my car - but as yet it is intermittent when connecting to the XDA2i and will not recognise the SIM addressbook like it is supposed to do.
The car makes the bluetooth link OK, and I can make calls (even using Audi's Voicedial 8) ) but it then drops out/reconnects every four minutes :evil: Very annoying, but suppose it keeps the call costs down :roll: Is this likely to be the car dropping the phone or the phone dropping the car? Any fixes or hints ?
I have a spare XDA2 that I will happily use as a testbed to try and get different Bluetooth versions working - just be patient with me as I'm a novice !

as far as i know then which bluetooth version is supported is in the Hardware and can never be altered
but what you can do is to change bluetooth stack from MS to vidcomm / broadcom
it solves some issues but creates others try doing a search for vidcomm OR broadcom

Parrot CK3300 GPS CAR KIT - Any experience?

I am interested in this http://www.parrot.biz/united_kingdom/products/index.php?id=ck3300 Does anybody have any experience using this device, how well does it work etc. ?
I plan on using it with O2 Mini S and possibly Tom Tom software what do you guys think?

I have a CK3300 and the similar CK3100 (no GPS) in my wife's car.
They work superbly with Sony Ericsson phones, less well with Motorolas and Nokias but a bit of a disaster with the XDA Mini-S. Doesn't auto connect, doesn't synch contacts properly, overwrites voice tags. There's a bunch of posts on the subject in the Parrot forum on their website. Rumours that there will be a software upgrade shortly which will address some issues.
I haven't got around to trying the GPS with TomTom on the XDA (as I can't get it to install!) but it worked fine with my previous PPC (an iPaq RX3715)

I have a CK3300 not had to meany problems on the GPS side but my xda 2s and my axd mini would not work with the handsfree bit.
My xda exec works fine on GPs and handsfree.
Very good bit of kit overall

Beside experience, I have a question to post here.
I have Parrot СК3300 for 2 years. As handsfree kit, it works perfectly with Sonyericsson K750i, 700i, Z800, P900. With Sonyericsson P900, it works perfectly as hands free kit and GPS module simultaneously.
However, after connecting my QTEK2020i (1.11.00 WWE, Radio 1.02.00, ExtROM 1.11.113 WWE dd 27of Jan 2005) I can use Parrot as GPS module only. Any attempts to use Parrot as kar kit leads only to loud clicks from speakers. So just for now, I use Parrot as hands-free for Sonyericsson K700i and as GPS module with QTEK simultaneously.
No way to fix it. I delete all Bluetooth devices, soft reset, ad only Parrot as hands-free, soft reset. No result.
Can you suggest me how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have a CK 3000 intsalled with Tom Tom and a third party BT GPS mouse. The Parrot works very well but it has to be paired as a Hands-free set and not as a headset. One small bug, though: I have to start TT first for the GPS to connect when getting back into the vehicle. After that I start the engine, which connects the CK3000 to my MDA II. If the CK is connected first, TT can't find the mouse.
I've been looking for a way to get the audio to be put through the the CK. I once found a piece of software that could do that on this site but inspite of hours of searching, I haven't been able to find it again. - HELP!

parrot car kit
I have a parrot CK3500 GPS car kit and it works well with TomTom Mobile 5 on my SPV E200 ,C500, C550 and has worked with TomTom Navigator 5 my M2000 as well. This is for Voice AND GPS simultaneously.
with earlier versions of TOMTOM i needed to rename the bluetooth connection from Parrot to TomTom Wireless GPS.
I have an XDA Mini S too which is on a data only tariff (so havent tried handsfree) but TomTom 5 works with it for GPS. They seem a little fiddly to set up, but once set up they are great.
I found i needed to use "AnyGPS Tweak" on all the smartphones to get it to connect initially
I had a CK3300 in another car and that worked exactly the same.
The only criticism is that the GPS voice instructions dont go through the speakers. However sometimes they do, and it seems to be if you start TomTom before you switch on the car ignition, the car kit thinks a call is in progress and relays the GPS through the speakers. It doesnt always work, but sometimes its a bit of a shock to get Jane bellowing through the speaker!!
The downside is that if you take a voice call over the car kit, it seems to re-set and the GPS voice then reverts back to the phone speaker.
I have emailed Parrot about this and have not had a reply as yet.

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I understand, I can't solve problem with incoming - outcoming telephone calls by some "secret' QTEK settings.
Therefore, I'll try to find "Any Bluetooth Tweak" program to fix it.
Can you suggest any "Tweak" software?
