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?
lmk cheers mate

Hi
I'm looking at purchasing an XDA IIi from O2, both to use as a PDA, phone and for SatNav. It's likely that I'll go with TomTom and I already have a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I've already got an O2 blue headset that works with my SonyEricsson T610 and I'll also be wanting to use that whilst in the car.
I have some questions that I hope some of you might be able to answer...
Is it possible to use both a bluetooth headset and bluetooth GPS at the same time?
Does the XDA IIi support the O2 blue as the SE T610 does, i.e. I press the button and say the contact I want to call and then the phone (home, mobile etc).?
Thanks for any help!

Hi
I have the Jabra BT 200 headset and the Leadtek 9537 GPS unit. They both work fine at the same time on my Xda IIi.
I was checking the GPS using Pocket Streets (have not re-installed Tom Tom yet but I do not envisage a problem)
The BT setup seems better on the IIi, there wasn't any messing around with the COM port settings like there was with the Xda II.
If you mean the fonix VoiceDial software that comes with it, then yes, it does work that way.
On the whole, I am pleased with the IIi (I had the II for a year), the camera is flakey but I can live with that.
MarkySan...
Thanks for that... Looks like it'll do what I'm after
I might then have to become a regular on these forums!
Cheers

Be warned, if you mean the o2 CLIP blue headset (made by iTech), I also have it and have been unable to get it working. (Why oh why can I not have the old stack from the xda2 as that worked perfectly with headset profile)
At one point I was briefly able to get it installed as a handsfree device but it then stopped working. Before I got rid of my xda2 I tried re-pairing the devices and it worked great first time. Other BT headsets I had access to worked fine.
Does anyone else have this headset and an xda2i? I've posted about this before but got absolutely no feedback whatsoever. Could anyone tell me if they're using a clip style headset (not the ones that hook round your ear) with the 2i...how much it cost and what make etc. I may have to bite the bullet, sell the o2 headset and buy another one.
Cheers

2 BT devices simultaneously on XDA II
This is an interesting problem. I've got an XDA II, a leadtek BT gps receiver and a nokia handsfree BT carkit, plus Tom Tom.
I haven't got them all working at once yet and have been told there is a problem getting the handsfree to work anyway.
This was from a so called reputable high st mobile phone chain (who also said that only one BT device could be connected at once).
Any help or advice appreciated....

Well, I got my XDA IIi and very nice it is too.. this is my first foray into the world of PDA so I've nothing to compare too, so I'm very pleased
I've twinned it with my O2 blue headset and it works fine.
Also got TomTom navigator and a bluetooth GPS (although you still need a cable for power across the dashboard! Doh!).
They both work together, although there does seem to be some strangeness when they're both on:
1. The GPS sometimes drifts off... although this is based on a 15 minute drive into Town only
2. When on a call, the GPS signal seems to go completely and TomTom doesn't know where I am!
I do have a question about WiFi and MMS if anyone could help...
I have a WLAN at home, whihc the XDA IIi seems to connect to fine. However, when I am connected to it, I cannot send or receive MMS messages.. I'm sure it's something to do with this 'Internet' or 'Work' stuff, but this is all rather confusing. Has anyone written an idiots guide to all these strange settings?
Thanks!
ive used it all week on calls and even had the voice through my jabra 250 gps stayed on all the time it was fine the only problem i had was i couldnt get gprs without a softreset
Alix, are you saying you got the Tom Tom voice directions through the Jabra?
If so, I'm off to get the i!
Firstly is this forum ONLY for developers?
Because you will quickly discover that I am not a developer but a confused user and I was hoping that I could get some advice here?
Anyway I have a Bluetooth headset and was considering getting TomTomGo but also wondered if the headset and a BT GPSr would work together.
Also does anyone know if we will ever get voice dialling working on MobilePPC? I had a brief discussion with someone at Fonix who said that "Microsoft does not expose the necessary functions to third party software developers like Fonix".
Actually, now I've been using it for a while, it seems the reason Tom Tom drifted was because of a loss of signal.
Using the BT headset and Tom Tom with the BT GPS together is fine.
What is annoying though is the fact that the Phone App pops up in front of Tom Tom and doesn't go away when the call is complete.
Also, when touching the button on the headset to open the connection with the phone, it doesn't automatically start the Voice dial, you still have to reach across and fumble about looking for the button on the side. Has anyone got any ideas if it's possible?
That being said, the voice dial works OK.. not brilliant, and the voice that tells me what it thinks I've said is rather disappointing.. I want to keep telling it to 'Please speak more clearly' !
And I too can hear the Tom Tom voice prompts through the BT headset when the conection is open, although I prefer not to.
See my note re what the Fonix guy said above.

You can ONLY connect to MMS via the O2 GPRS network. Since your WIFI is outside their network, and is somebody elses, they won't let you login to their servers to send. All the carriers work this way - it's how they charge!
Hi,
I have a XDAIIi, Nokia car kit and TomTom 3 bluetooth. I have been trying to connect my phone to the car kit using bluetooth. Unfortunately it will only connect for phone calls. Does anyone knows how to permanently connect the phone using a different profile, so that I can listen to music and voice instruction of my TomTom using the car audio system? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

All I can help you with is that using my Jabra I press the call end button on the headset and the sound for my Tom Tom and MP3s comes through the headset.
Hope this helps.
Thanks mindracing. Do you know what services/profile your jabra return when you enquire it?
KR,
Reda
It shows up as Hands Free connection to Jabra 250.
Status just shows Jabra 250/Audio Gateway.
If you know where else to look just ask.
Thanks mindracing. yesterday I tried every possible combination but it seems I cannot stream my music and Tomtom instruction to the car kit.
Thanks anyway.

just a note on this. I have had a jabra bt205 working with a QStarz BT-800 gps, it works ok BUT when i changed from the jabra to a stereo headset it workd ok too but only on the crap audio quality. I installed the cab file for A2DP support. now i have really good audio but as soon as i try to connect the gps the audio goes all choppy and eventualy cuts out.
It is of my limited opinion that you cant run A2DP and a bluetooth GPS because of the bandwidth (data transfer) available. Ive yet to see if i can get tomtom running with the wired gps and A2DP quality headset.
Think ill be goin back to wired headset for on the bike so i can have music, tomtom and calls... just need to find someone on here who has got a voice dial prog to run from the green call button on the wired headset.

I use the MS BT stack with my Blue Ant BT earpiece and the Broadcom BT stack with a BTGPS74R receiver (aka Holox BT-321). They both work well individually, but not together. Another post made the point about com port issues ... well yes, I use the Broadcom BT Manager for this purpose, but the XDA II does not pair with the Blue Ant, even with TomTom 6 OFF. It shows up but is not really paired correctly.
Perhaps there is a simple answer ... if so, I am sure someone will advise me.
Hello! I buyed myself a BlueTooth HandsFree, nothing special, simple hansfree...

This is my BlueTooth http://www.mrhandsfree.com/blue-butterfly-2.aspx
Thank you!

I know that not every headset supports the headphone profile, which can be used this way.
As for the apps (i.e. btaudio) that are supposed to direct all audio over to the BT headset, I've never been able to get that to work. I don't know if it's because my wep200 only supports hands-free or something else, but I have a co-worker that has MW5 on a wizard that had it work with his Jabbra 250.
Might be a limitation of the BA (per http://blogs.msdn.com/cenet/archive/2005/08/12/451012.aspx). I can get hands free /or/ headset working with my BA via a BT dongle on my lapdog, but I've not been able to get both working at the same time. Not that I've poked at it too much...
I have a parrot 3200 in my car is it posible a can have the sound of tomtom 6 on my p3300 with bleutooth connection by parrot in my carspeakers.
Can somebody tell if it possible and what must change in my phone.
Thanks.

1. Pair your device
2. Set the device as Hands-Free
3. Make sure you are near enough and have activated bluetooth
4. Run BTAudio
its the way it works for me
try this one.
PS: Start BT Audio before u start anything you want to hear over bluetooth
Works perfect now. Using is important

Works perfect. Thanks for instruction.
I can't get it to work in my car! I have a JVC BT1 and it has bluetooth built in. It works fine with calls (i.e. thru speakers) but tom tom only goes thru the unit. So I tried this BT thingy and it doesn't work. I can turn the program on but still nothing. What does it mean, set the device to handsfree?
Thanks

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
