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.

Generic BT GPS & TomTom 5

I have just bought a Generic BlueTooth GPS for use with TomTom 5. I successfully paired the GPS with the XDA IIs, then the problem came of getting tomtom to find it. It will not see it as a Bluetooth GPS so I have to select "Other Cable NMEA GPS", set the baud rate to 38400 and set it to COM 6.
This will work for approx 40mins before TomTom5 crashes. It then takes a soft reboot to get it working again.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
I might have to go back to TomTom3.
My device info:
ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE (i-mate ROM)
Radio Version: 1.12.00
ExtROM Version: 1.40.176 WWE

Well after struggling with TomTom 5 for the last time, I'm going back to TomTom 3. I believe there is a patch out there to get the TomTom 5 maps to work with 3.

I use my pda2k with tomtom 5.1 and both the Tomtom 3 bluetooth gps and a BT-338 Globalsat GPS Bluetooth Receiver .
In order to get it to work, I have to switch on bluetooth and connect to the gps manually, and then start Tomtom. Occaisonally the gps wont connect or Tomtom just wont detect the gps. I then to a soft reset, try again and it works.
I have not had to do anything clever with the Tomtom settings, in fact I think I just use the Tomtom bluetooth setting for both receivers.
If someone phones me whilst using Tomtom, after the call, tomtom does not detect the gps and I have to quit and restart.

Well I'm back on TomTom 3 now, it's lovely and stable, the BT connect first time everytime and I can make/accept calls on my BT headset.
Perfect!
If only the boys at TomTom had put some effort in and tested 5 before releasing it.

Hello Porkspeare,
can you tell me which version of TomTom 3 you are using and what bluetooth stack? I have the problem that I cannot use my BT headset Bluetrek G2 after installing TomTom 3.01 , even though before the TomTom install it works fine. Would be interesting to know what combination works on your machine.
Thanks

ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE (i-mate ROM)
BlueTooth Version: 1.0.0 Build 3900
TomTom Version: 3.03 (427)
BT Headset Ver: Blue Trek G2
Hope this helps.

Vavavoom, are you using the very latest bluetooth driver from tomtom for version 3..

tomtom 5 hangs
I have same problem...
The problem goes away if you turn off all POIs
some say copying poi.dat from tomtom3 maps will solve it..
also seen something about a vga registry hack, havent tried any - i have just turned off poi until some solution pops up...
Jan

Hi cruising-thru,
I don't know what you mean by "bluetooth driver for TomTom3" - can you get a seperate update for just the bluetooth driver? The only update I found was for the Navigator (3.07) and GPS (3.07). Unfortunately I can only install the GPS update. If I try to install a Navigator update higher than 3.01 TomTom tells me it cannot find a map even though it's installed and activated. My current combination is therefore Navigator 3.01 and GPS 3.07.
If there is a sperate BT update could you please tell me where to find it?
Thanx

Thanx porkspeare,
I have the same combination except I only managed to install TomTom up to version 3.01. Maybe if I somehow manage to update to 3.03 it solves my problem. Will keep trying
Cheers

Bluetooth connection Qtek 9090

Hi all,
hope to find somebody able to help me. I have a Qtek 9090 purchased with the BT version 1.0.0. I'm using WM 03 SE. I would like to know if I can upgrade it the BT version and if yes how? Sometimes I really find it hard to configure BT devices (i.e. TOMTOM version 5.0).
Cheers

Start on the below page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
Then, look here where it says "How to upgrade to the latest Bluetooth Stack version (currently 1.0.0.3900)"
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Bluetooth_1.0.0.3900_Upgrade
Hope this helps..?

Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked on my device and the version of the BT is 1.0.0.39. Therefore does not need upgrade. Now my problem is to configure Tom Tom 5.0 with my GPS device which is BT and is produced by Hamlet. Every time I receive a message from Tom Tom saying the it is an invalid GPS signal and then I can read that the GPS signal was lost as soon as i finish to configure the device. Hope to find a solution

Look at other posts
Please see this post further down the forum for possible solution..?

Thanks!

Hamlet GPS reset
I had the same problem but i was not related to BA, but to the bluetooth GPS.
I suggest to reset your GPS as shown on hamlet site:

car bluetooth and WM6 latest roms (black 2.5 and dutty v2)

Hello
I have a Seat Leon with preinstalled bluetooth in-car.
I used to have dutty v1 installed on my hermes and everything was great!
When I installed Black 2.5 then I was able to pair the phone with the car but after a minute the connection is dropped.
same problem happens with dutty v2 and the newest lvsw
you know what is wrong with the new version? newest bluetooth?

any ideas?

i was going to start o similar topic... but i've seen yours... the reason... happy with wm6 and the car kit
so.. i have o parrot 3400LS-GPS car kit... and when i conected the phone to it for the first time it showed the signal strength and battery state... with wm5 i had nothing.... and the coolest thing is that i have also carrier's name... at first it was eandomly shown... but i think i figured it out... if it is on 3g it does not display the carrier's name... but on gsm it does... BUT if i disable the longnameprefix in regedit it also shows the carrier on 3g.. but on this i still got to test....
anyway no BT drops...
spv m3100
radio 1.41.
hardspl 2.10 oli
dutty v2 premium

Same on Audi A6, Black 2.5 (and latest LVSW) drop BT connection. Sucks.

i guess microsoft broke some compatability with this os build in a few weeks there might be a new os build....heh

Same issue here
working with an older version of LSVW (can't recall which one) and a 2006 Audi S4 -- pairs fine, shows signal strenght and other details not shown with WM 5.0, but drops and reconnects randomly. Very irritating. I don't use bluetooth anymore in my car -- a tremendous shame.

Hi, I don't know if this will solve your problem but here goes anyway. When I first got my phone (Orange SPV M3100), I could not connect to installed BT system in my Audi A4. I understand from what I have read that this is due to a slight difference in BT specification used by WM to that used by mobile phone manufactures. I had similar problems as you describe above - all fixed since I installed software from JetWare (use google to find). Hope this helps.

hrmm, I'll try that too but my question is that my phone used to work just fine, now with the latest rom the problems with bluetooth started, that's what I am pointing out.

Hi all.
I've a Seat Leon too, with bt integrated.
Since i upgraded to first WM6, i have no problems with hands free, but i must get the PDA on. If i put PDA off, BT starts to disconnects and reconnects, and finally BT goes off.
With all WM5 i've tested, the BT disconnects and reconnects every time with the PDA on.
Think there is an issue with the way the handsfree get info from the phone, cause normal phone works without this issue.
Regards.

Im also using Pro 2.5 and have noticed that my BT for my Handsfree car kit is playing up. I can connect and it works but when I leave the car and come back I need to shut down and then restart Bluetooth to reconnect. Bit of a pain atm.

try the widcomm stack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1234724&postcount=507

Also having problems, Parrot Rhythm 'n Blue, it droppes during calls and reconnects after a minute (not always).
I already use Jetware, so I fear that doesn't do the trick. According to the reactions in this thread this really seems to be a problem...

Ok thanx, I'll try that and report back...

It's the BT implementation in the phone (either HTC or Microsoft), other phones work fine. Anyho: for me the previous LVSW (03-26) works fine and since I don't need the other 'stuff', I'm using that release.

as said: I use the jetware software already and got the same problems... not always, but frequently.

I'm currently using Black 2.5 w/an '07 Infiniti FX and have zero dropout issues. I love it actually, I got in my car this morning and it reconnected automatically when I got a phone call, no problem

guys, finally the jetware did the job, the bluetooth stopped on keep disconnecting, let's hope that MS will fix the problem on the next release.

Hi all, another SEAT Leon driver with bluetooth handsfree problems here
My Vodafone v1605 suffered the dropout problem when it was on the stock Vodafone ROM.
I used the WM Black 2.0 ROM for about a day before the 2.5 ROM came out and didn't suffer the problem.
Since going to Black 2.5 I have suffered the problem intermittently. When the phone is running on battery it frequently disconnects/reconnects. However it appears to be pretty stable when on charge in the Brodit powered mount. I would guess that the major difference is that when on charge the phone doesn't go into standby mode.
I am tempted to go back to 2.0 and test for a while longer, especially as my device code has been updated with 2.5 so TomTom is not currently activated

6.1 and tom tom, bluetooth working now?

Can any body tell me the best 6.1 cab to use tom tom on have trouble with bluetooth at the moment wont stay paired up.
Will consider using a 6.0 cab if this is the only way.
is there a fix
thank you

Had no problems with either Farias R-32 versions, and Schaps was fine too.
i found TomTom pretty good with pairing and finding bluetooth signals.

TNT 19999
Hy...
no problem with this rom.... i hope this notice can help you.....
If you need some other information cantact me!!!
Bye!!

there must be another problem, mabe with your bt-gps. Been flashing about 7 different 6.0 and 6.1 roms's the last few weeks and none of them heve instable bluetooth gps pairing and using.
i'm using a bt-gps and bt-stereo headset intensive together. listening to mp3, on the same time tomtom is telling directions, while on the background pushmail is bringing me new mail that i can read at the same time, being interrupted for incoming sms.
on top of that all an incoming phone call on my bt-headset will work, just as using a voice command to dial a number myself. and the mp3 player automaticaly pauses and restarts at the end of the phonecall.
tomtom keeps working.
just when ending a phonecall sometime the mp3 sound goes to the pda speaker instead of the headset.

Pays 6.1 ROM works with tt6 and bt.

My hermes kept droping out with TomTomon WM5 all the time, but since I switched to WM6 i never had a single drop.
For me WM5 > WM6 stopped all TomTom problems I had

hi Photoscuba, i have the exact same problems
First it wont pair properly (says that the key is incorrect).
Its there in the Bluetooth device list, so i open a com port for it then run my gps software, goto detect GPS but then i keep getting GPS reciver wants to pair with you message, as soon as i can answer yes or no, another screen will pop up saying the same
i have asked in several other threads if anyone else is having the same issues, but everyone elses seem fine.
i did read some where about all wm6.1 rom having problems with pairing when using the pass code 0000 (something along the lines of it sending a NULL or a single 0), but i cant find now. ill keep looking for it maybe someone has over come this, on a thread on XDA.
i use a HOLUX GPSlim240 receiver and it works flawlessly with wm6's
im using K's 1.3 at the mo

All these ROMS worked for me
I like to test new ROM and play around a lot.
I have tested Tom Tom 6 and my Bluetooth GPS on the following WM 6.1 ROM all worked.
Below are the ROM in the order i used them.
FARIA-R-32-CLEAN
TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
CRCs_PHKv12r10
Binky11'sv3_3 - Great Clean ROM and i loved S2U2
PDACorner.V10 - New ROM i am testing right now

Considering they are talking about Tomtom, I assume thats the software they are using....

yea, lol, shoulda seen that coming
but the problem seems to be the gps unit connecting or staying paired to the phone, so if there a list of bluetooth gps units that are working fine with wm6.1 then maybe see why some units wont connect
It all works fine on all the WM6's, so the change is in how wm6.1 handles it as far as i can work out
if theres a list of workin and non working GPS's then maybe i could see what the problem is
