Ok this might sound a bit dumb to you guys but I'm having a little situation here.
I got tomtom 5.1 and just got the glabalsat bt338 receiver.
I have paired the device with my xda as I have paired a nokia BT headset.
When I switch on the nokia headset and bluetooth, the pda and headset establish a connection automatically.
I would like to do the same for the bt338. As soon as the bluetooth is on, it should establish a connection.
I am not able to do this. I have to click on the bluetooth manager, double click the bt338 for it to establish the connection. Then I have to exit bt manager and turn on tom tom. Still tomtom does not detect the GPS receiver until I click on the GPS device settings and select OTHER BT RECEIVER and then select Blutooth receiver on COM5.
Only then does the GPS show any life.
I would like to know how to get the BT338 to work by just turning on TOMTOM.
It should authenticate and establish the connection on its own, and by the time its up, i should be able to input a destination.
Confusing? No?
easy there mate, give it time....once you have the BT338 paired with your handset, switch everything off.
then 1st switch on your BT338, then switch on your PDA...start up TomTom and leave it for at least 1 minute...it should switch on Bluetooth automatically and connect to the BT338, i had this issue and the 5.1 update solved it...let us know if successful.

There seems to be lots of questions relating to gps receivers not pairing with o2 xda exec especially with tomtom. Most solutions say you must designate com 6 to work. But I am only offered com 4 amd 8 all others unable to connect. Is there a general problem with bluetooth and XDA? When I load up tomtom under GPS it says I must pair first! which I have done. Is there one easy way to pair bluetooth or is it a case of try lots of different ways to see which works. Any thoughts would help. :!:
this always works for my bluetooth gps.
Turn blootooth on.
Start bluetooth manager
Turn on bluetooth GPS
Select NEW from bottom left menu in bluetooth manager
Scroll down to explore Bluetooth device
If keyboard appears type 0000 into keyboard and then Enter.
Once done you should have an icon in BT shortcuts - BUT you need two ICONS so repeat the above actions again.
Now you should have two icons for your BT GPS.
One BT GPS SPP (1)
One BT GPS SPP (slave)
The reason - one is the up channel one is the down channel.
Double tap either one and they go live.
Run TOMTOM and it should work fine.
What a lot of BT GPS users do is establish just one connection Icon which they think will make everything work OK. You actually need two Icons.
This problem drove me nuts for two whole days - my battery went flat and I re-installed Tomtom then the bt gps but didn't realise I only had one BT connection instead of two.
If you have done they above and Tomtom doesn't find the BT GPS try doing a configure within tomtom and select Other BT GPS device - that should fix it.

Hello, I have installed TomTom Navigator 5 in my Qtek s200, but I can't connect it with the bluetooth GPS if the telephone is switched off.
Tomtom runs ok, but doesn't find GPS device.
If I switch on the telephone there isn't any problem, tomtom runs ok and find the GPS device.
I have used tomtom, and dell GPS bluetooth GPS reveivers.
Someone knows if is there a solution to use the GPS with the telephone utility switched off?
Thanks!
ive got this problem too with my xda 1 which i only use as a satnav unit
I use the xda with a wired gps but tomtom complains there is no gps device because the unit is in flight mode, even tho im not trying to use any wireless signals.
anyone help ?
thanks.
I don't know if I understand you right, but I might have an explanation for this. On my Qtek 9100, I can't use a bluetooth GPS-receiver when the device is in flight-mode. Flightmode disables all radiosignals...and since bluetooth is sort of a radio signal, it's disabled as well
A solution might be to turn off and on your device and "cancel" when you're asked to enter your SIMs PIN-code. This way, the device is not in flight mode (so bluetooth works) but the telephone-reception is disabled.
I hope this helps, if not: let me know!

yes that works but the phone device is still switched on so uses battery
the gps in question in my situation is a wired unit going directly to my old xda 1's com port so shouldnt matter if the phone or bluetooth are on or not. Even if the pda was in flight mode it shouldnt affect use of my wired gps as there are no radio signals.
seems like a 'bug' in the tomtom software that if the pda is in any kind of flight mode including the phone being off, it decides it cant communicate with any gps, no matter how its connected, as if they expect everyone to be using bluetooth gps' and just include the wired configuration as a legacy function.

Darn...sorry, I misunderstood. I'm using a bluetooth GPS-receiver myself, so I just took for granted that you also used a bluetooth device And indeed, looks like a bug...not very convenient.

Concerning bluetooth devices:
This seems not to work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
With Pocket PC 2003 devices it is possible to use with TomTom bluetooth while in flight mode.
Here's a work around for Win 5.0:
1) Enable the phone and bluetooth in the Comm. manager.
2) Make the link to thte bluetooth gps in TomTom.
3) Disable the phone in the Comm. manager.
4) Return to TomTom.
The bluetooth link will be maintained until you exit Tomtom or try to link again.
This might also be the case with a wired gps.

since upgrading to tomtom6 my ba wont connect to my gps reciever, just says no gps device. if i reconfig it to bluetooth gps it trys to connect but wont even try with my wired gps iv even tried changing the gps. anyone got any ideas?
Which OS have you got on the BA?
If its WM2003SE have you gone to BT manager found the GPS unit tap and hold, then select "Connect" - BEFORE trying to configure the GPS in TT.
If its WM2005 have you selected the serial port mode and then set the outgoing Com port? - again this must be done BEFORE trying to configure the GPS in TT. - Mike
tomtom gps
im trying to use a wired gps reciever
In which case go to Start/ Settings/ Connections Tab select IrDA or Beam once in this page deselect the "Recieve all beams" check box, then try again with the TT unit (the IrDA stops the Com port from working) - Mike
job done
many thanx, wish i'd of asked before buying a new cradle and gps lol.
Hi,
After I install tomtom6 I'm not able to connect to my Bt headset?

Don't you mean: Connect GPS via other cable in your TT6 config, instead of the BT Headset??
I have exactly the same problem here. (HTC Blue Angel with BlueTooth for Windows CE BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 3900)
When TT6 is installed, I can pair with my Jabra BT135 and create a shortcut, but I can't connect to it by using the shortcut.
After removing TT6 from the Blue Angel, I can connect to the Jabra using the same shortcut immediately.
So think with me here, why is this happening?
Could it be the case that the HTC Blue Angel is only capable of having 1 BlueTooth device/COM-port/connection/channel,
and that TT6 is somehow claiming a BlueTooth channel for a wireless GPS BT receiver that it could try to connect to and so the Jabra won't connect to it anymore?
Or is the HTC Blue Angel capable of connecting with more than one BT-device at a time, but are the headset and TT6 using the same COM-port for BT communications or something? In the second case, how can I change the port used by either the Jabra of TT6 ?!?
Does anybody have an answer to this?
have just resolved an issue others may have with TT6 installation affecting Bluetooth earpiece functionality.
Actually, I found the answer on the net after literally days of searching!.
If you have installed TT6, it will overwrite at least one bluetooth dll file. This can prevent other BT devices functioning after TT6 install. On my XDA 2s, I was able to pair my bluetrek G2 headset, but not connect. The answer is to re-name the "BtCoreIf.dll" file in the PDA wndows file to ""BtCoreIfold.dll".
Immediately, I had my BT earpiece functinality back, AND TTN 6 works too! Don't ask me how, it just worked for me

On my BlueAngel is the same with TT6 vs. Motorola Headset H300.
I've tried to rename BtCoreIf.dll but system don't let me to delete the original file I thing because it is in ROM.
I simple do a workaround: open bt service and connect the headset manually

Then you don't have the problem as descibed in this topic at all. Because when TT6 is installed, it is impossible to connect to the BT headset (manually).
So I guess you are lucky.

I think so: when headset is connected, TT6 do not connect automatically the Gps receiver, I must to doubleclick on Gps icon.
And vice versa.
Hi guys, I have the following question:
I am planning to buy e bluetooth GPS receiver for my Prophet. In my car, however, I have a bluetooth hands-free system installed. So my question is, will it be possible to have both the GPS receiver and the hands-free system connected to my phone at the same time?
Thanx,
Boyan
Seriously, no one has tried this before? I suppose it should be working, but I really don't want to spend the money on a GPS receiver and not be able to use it simultaneously with my car kit...
hello there blazarov,
it will work, and yes many have already got this up and working.
Search for SIG or Piconet or simple Bluetooth on say Google
and it will get clear to you.
I have experienced i have to let Tom Tom activate bluetooth
and then my Rikaline GPS receiver and my Parrott carkit work.
In this order it goes well.
When bluetooth activated and connected to my Parrott carkit and then activating TomTom it can't find/connect to my Rikaline GPS receiver.
btw i use Qtek S200 ( = HTC Prophet)

Hi,
Thanx for the information! It is also good to know that the combo works with a Parrott carkit, as i have the same one in my car
