Dont know if anyone else has come across this problem or my gps is crap. Takes ages and very clear sky to find satellites. apart from that when i go through blackwall tunnel the gps stops (obvious reasons) but then does not start again on the other side. what i dont understand is why cant it connect to satellites like in-car navigation systems.
Do you think a gps aerial will make a difference??
Definately,
I have a GPS antenna, and it improves reception greatly usual satellite locks of between 8 - 12 sats and quick TTFF
What GPS reciever are you using ?
Do you have recieve all incoming beams unckecked ?
You will find it here :- Start/settings/connections/Beam.
I have an M1000 and an O2 XDA II and both lock on and get a fix in less than 30 seconds I am using the tomtom bluetooth GPS reciever with tomtom 5.

I have got a socket/EMTEC Blutooth GPS that i have had for years, it cost me over £200 when i first bought it and i have never had a problem at all once i bought an antenna for it (the antenna was a no name solution)
as for the incoming beam settings, it makes no difference to me with or without it set, but i personally leave it not set to save battery life as i have never had a need to use it in over 4 years of having a pocketpc
Hi! Im using an iMate PDA2K with TomTom navigator 5.1 and a GlobalSat BT 338 receiver. Everything works but sometimes after using TT,I notice that the bluetooth icon in the lower tray has disappeared.I then have to go and click on the Run BT Tray file in the windows/startup folder to get it back.
anyone know why this is happening and the solution for this?
thanks in advance.

Hi
Cant help but I have a very similar problem.
Tomtom turns my BT off on exit from tt.
On some occassions the whole of BT manager and settings have frozen!
hope someone can help!
Just configure ir for normal cable gps instead of bluetooth...
hi
what is ir? what steps do i need to take? :shock:
I think the "ir" was a typo for it.....
I have configured it for "other wired GPS receiver and like I said, it works fine but sometimes (more often lately) when I exit from TT, the BT icon is not there in the system tray...
Have you got anything like the O2 active interface loaded onto the device, - if so get rid of it. This causes all sorts of instability, Once deleted mines been great, and with the new ROM from O2, its even better - Mike
nope, mine is the iMate version without any of the O2 stuff....
it's like the BT icon disappears randomly from the system tray....going to File Explorer and then the windows/startup folder and clicking on Run_BTTray gets it back.....and the BT works fine too..... :? :shock:
I have the 1.40 iMate ROM and apart from this,every thing seems to be peachy.....anyone got any clues what's going on????something is "closing" the BT in the system tray..how do I find out what it is and stop it....
I've got tomtom5 and a rikaline bluetooth gps reciever, tomtom seems to find the reciever fine, as the little icon on the top right of the app start to spin, but nothing further happens. Anyone know what the issue might be?
I had the same thing yesterday. I set up a colleagues BT GPS receiver in the office. BT manager found the receiver and was receiving data. Tomtom displayed the spinning icon, updated time but no valid GPS signal. I resorted to standing outside for <> 5 minutes in the wind and snow and eventually the receiver fired up and now works perfectly! I have no explanation other than I took that long with a good signal for the GPS receiver to cold boot.
I had similar problems when I first got my BT GPS. I similarly I just waited for about 10min outside in clear skys and it worked...
Dunno if it will solve any problems.
Problems
Hiya,
I don't actually know how true this is, but I have been told that once you actually get the GPS unit talking to the PDA / Phone, it needs to dowload a "GPS Almanac" which, from what I have been told, is something along the lines of a database of what satelites are available, where they are located etc for the unit to give you correct information. This can take up to ten minutes to download, and you do need to be in an area where the sky is clearly visible.
Again this is only information I have been told, but after I through a GPS receiver against the wall, and then asked a colleague why it wouldn't connect, this made clear to me!
I have problems with my Bluetooth and the paired device in the car with almost every recent ROM.
After about 10 minutes driving with a connected phone, the Bluetooth shuts down on my Diamond. When I go to Settings -> ... > Bluetooth -> Mode -> Turn on Bluetooth is unchecked. If I check it again it connects again with the phone and about 10 minutes later it's off again.
I went back to the RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.93.479.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe. It's against my feelings, believe, etc. but I want to solve it .....
I installed Advanced Configuration Tool (3.0), went to Bluetooth -> Audio gateway power save and Disabled it. I did it because I was reading about suspended devices and power save features. I thought that the loss of Bluetooth is been caused by a saving power feature.
After a soft reset, the Bluetooth stays connected.
It's a start, but I'm not happy with it ... I would like to use cooked ROM's and optimal settings in the ROM.
There are other tweaks too in Bluetooth, for example the supported bitpool, etc. Perhaps those settings cause the shutdown of a connected Bluetooth device instaed of the power save feature.
Has anyone this kind of problems too with paired Bluetooth devices?
If so, would you like to help me to find the cause?
If not, can you describe what device you use (Jabra, TomTom, car radio, etc.), which ROM, which radio and extra tweaks?
Hi
I do have the same problem. I am using my Diamond with my Opel Astra (Vauxhall) and a CD70 radio with built in handsfree (Opel UHP). It disconnects after 10 minutes and after calls. Everything else works fine. Changing rom and radios has not helped so far. If I don't close the comm manager it stays connected but disconnects after a call because the comm manager is closed with the end of the call. Is there a way to force the comm manager not to close?

I have a CD70 too in a Opel Zafira.
This "comm manager" thing is interesting, but it looks to me like an Opel issue.
Can't you flash firmwares by opel?

That's an option, but my Trinity (P3600) performed great with the same car. Will an upgrade solve my problems? I know one thing, it's not cheap either.
I tried it with different ROM's, but it still happens.
I tried it with different radio's, nothing changed.
Till today, I've got now the new radio (v1.05.25.BS14).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432770
It has fixed the delays in GPS + faster GPS fix and more important fo me Bluetooth didn't stop today.
I'm sure 100% sure yet, but seems to be better.
I got something to complain too about the new radio. The radio signal is less strong than the .05 radio.
Same problem here
My Vectra is equipped with CD70.
Previously I've owned a Kaiser and the problem was solved by one of the 6.1 radios, bluetooth connection was rock solid.
Right now I have the same problem with Diamond - after every single phone connection, when I'll hangup, the phone disconnects CD70. When I'll try to reconnect manually using CD70 everything is fine.
I've noticed that the same problem exists when I'm using Nokia bluetooth headset - one call, bluetooth connection dropped...
I've tried following Diamond radios:
.05
.07
.08
.BS14
and two Raphael radios by Bepe:
1.03.25.18
1.02.25.11
Each Diamond radio behaves the same way. Each Raphael radio adds a bonus - random bluetooth connection problems.
Right now I'm back with .05, I think I'll look for the software I've seen once (can't recall the name) - it's a PDA application designed for connecting to the car bluetooth systems and it has been cerftified to work fine with CD70.
Use Jetware Mobile for htc-diamond.
jetware
That's the software I couldn't remember the name.
Anyway I gave it a shot and it gets even worse, I couldnt get the connection lasting longer then 2-3 minutes, totally unstable
Right now I got back to radio .08 - the bluetooth link is rock solid, I guess I'll just need to get used to reconnecting after each phone call
Same bluetooth system in my car, same problems as you guys.
To avoid the disconnections after calls you need to go, with 'Advanced Config' to bluetooth->Audio gateway power save, and switch it to disabled.
For me this little change solve the 'first' problem, but I have another one that I don't know how to solve: the aparently random bluetooth disconections. Sometimes BT is not disconnected in hours, sometimes in days.
I am also using Jetware Mobile, but i didn't feel any improve...
The random ones depend on the radio rom version - I was using .05 and it was rock solid.
I will try .16 with audio gateway started and with power save disabled as you advised - I thought about it earler but previously I tried to disable the power save without enabling audiogateway service
Well, we will see if it works or not.
Hi,
I also have a Vectra CD/70 combination, for 2 yrs now.
I had a HTC3300 and 2years i had not a single problem with Bluetooth connection.
Now i have a HTC Diamond Touch Pro and have the same problems you guys have.
I tried all your suggestions, radio's and so on with no good result.
The good news is .. its an Opel problem and it seems to be that a Bluetooth Firmware Upgrade is available from Opel Germany. I just contacted my dealer and next week he will Upgrade my bluetooth firmware.
I will keep you guys informed.
Hello,
had the same problem with my Opel CD70.
Using Jetware Mobile and limited the entrys who copied to the car to a max. of 5. Also disable the call lists. Now it works.
I think the Opel/Vauxhall Bluetooth Connection disabels if to many entries are copied to the car.
Hello,
any News about our Bluetooth Problem ???
I also have a CD70 from Opel and I cannot understand why my Diamond swich of Bluetooth after a while ?
Is it an Opel-Problem or does anybody now an Application which helps ?
Thanks a lot for Your help,
Stepos
Hi,
I am currently using BTrestore (http://home.casema.nl/rgschmidt/WM/Downloads/BTRestore_V_1_0_0_PPC.ARMV4.CAB). This utility checks the status of the bluetooth stack every 5 secs and (re)enables it everytime it's down. It seems that the 5 secs are short enough to keep the phone connected. It's not a real solution and unfortunately this tool is sometimes instable too, but it absolutely extends the connection time with the UHP.
Maybe bullock can tell us if the carkit upgrade solves anything...??
I also created a ticket at HTC, but they refuse to troubleshoot user specific issues. They told me they only look into issues if they get enough calls from different users and to keep an eye on the update site (they seem to be able to solve issues without knowing what the actual issue is...). So I would encourage everyone here to create a HTC ticket for this issue. I still think it is an HTC issue: a bluetooth stack should never go down without any user intervention.
Good luck!
BTrestart and Jetware Mobile doesn`t help, my Touch diamond disconnect again from Opel CD70 and swiched off Bluetooth !
Can anybody help ?
Sorry guys, the OpelDealer is still "searching" for the Bluetooth upgrade.
After several phonecalls maybe next week (1st week of Febr) it will be made available to the dealer.
Like i said ... i willl keep you informed ... still have this lousy problem !!
..does anybody use the new Rom 2.03 ? Any difference ?
I also asked my Opel-Dealer for an Update of UHP, next week I 'll get new Information....
... well guys I had my CD70 updated !! I am/was very sceptical because the only thing they did was a re-install of the Language of the Navi System with a version 2005 CD. I asked if that was all to correct my Bluetooth problem .... the (smiling) answer was YES.
I have it now for 24hrs ...... and Bluetooth is still on )
I will let you know the result after a week !!
..i can't beleave it works with a 2005-update ! Great !
My Opel-Dealer is still busy in selling 10 Opel Corsa every day (..the magic word is "Abwrackprämie") , so I'll have a date there next week...
When I bought my Vectra the dealer had also to reinstall the Language-CD, maybey it was the wrong version....
...... Sorry guys ......
This update DOES not do the magic trick !! So we have to find another solution
who has the right idea ??
