Can not get gps signal even after i bond

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.

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)

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.

What vs of TT are you running if vs3 roll back the GPS driver to vs 2.06, alternativly some people have had luck using TT vs3,07 I tried various vs3 settings and never got it to work the headset will pair and connect but when TT vs3 is loaded the headset will pair but fails to connect - I use TT vs5 which works but not with BT GPS and Headset tried it and it worked until you treminated call and at that point you lost GPS - so I went wired for GPS and all is fine.

tom tom v3
my tom tom v3
i would upgrade to v3.07 after my holidy

Give it a try but the only way I got the XDAIIs to do what I needed was to ditch the BT GPS and go with wired, combined with BT headset - had no problem sinse then

Need help with BT GPS n XDAIIs, plz plz plz plz

Greetings,
I have tomtom navigator installed on my XDA IIs and i have polstar bluetooth GPS, BT 111, they both work fine and excellent, but the problem is, the next time when i switch on the bluetooth gps and tomtom on my XDA, tomtom doesnt detect the gps itself, I mean i have to delete the bluetooth entry in the bt manager of XDA and i have to add this new bt connection and all the bt setup again, why is it, can someone please tell me the solution to it, i mean like is it possible tht everytime i switch on tomtom on XDA it automatically detects my bt gps receivers.
Plz, thanks in advance
cheers

First of all make sure you have TomTom Navigator version 5,21 loaded on the device. Then create th ebond between the devices, and set TomTom up to use "Other Bluetooth GPS". If you have done all this how long are you waiting for the XDA to switch on the BT and find the GPS? it can take upto 45 seconds on some devices, if you need TTN5,21 download it from www.tomtom.com as it is free - Mike

I'm running TTN 5.21 on my XDA IIs with no problems, I don't even need to do anything with the bluetooth, it automatically turns on the bluetooth when I start TTN and turns it off when I close, and it automatically picks up my TT BT GPS dongle. Although there is a max 5 min wait to get a valid GPS signal.
I installed the 5.0 version then used the update from the web site afterwards.

Bluetooth conflict

Hello,
I have just bought a Jabra BT530 bluetooth headset and a BlueNext BN-905GR bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm having trouble getting them to work simultaneously with my TyTN running WM6. If I first connect my Jabra then neither tomtom nor Pocket nav can receive data from the GPS - Pocket nav says "GPS: Can't open COM port". If I switch off the Jabra then tomtom picks up the GPS in about 6 seconds. The Jabra will then not connect until tomtom is switched off... then if tomtom is restarted GPS no longer works. I have tried the available COM0, COM2, COM5 and COM9 for the GPS serial ports (with receive incoming beams switched off). I did actually manage to get both devices working simultaneously for a short while by uninstalling them both, resetting the PDA, installing the Jabra then installing the GPS on COM9. However when I switched them both back off and on again I was back with the original conflict. I'm using:
ROM Version: 3.30.3.3
ROM Date: 05/15/07
Radio Version: 1.38.00.01
Protocol version: 32.71.7020.12H
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim
