XDA2s and TomTom BT GPS - Help!

Hi Guys,
Just changed to the XDA2s from the XDA2, and i've got real problems getting my TomTom GPS to work. All set up fine on the standard 2, but it just won't work with the XDA2s. Does anyone know how to get it linked!!
Cheers
James
I don't know if this'll help so sorry if this isn't relevant, but I'm using a Navman GPS with the Tom Tom software, which although is different hardware does work ok.
I just have mine set to: "TomTom Wireless GPS" and in the second box "Bluetooth Serial Port 6". The first time you try to connect it asks which Bluetooth device to link com 6 to and after that I work just fine.
Hope that helps somehow!
Cheers, that worked perfectly!

XDA 2S BLuetooth Reception

Hi All,
Long time viewer, first time poster.
Firstly would like to thank many of you for posting awsome information and providing a great deal of help to people like myself who rely on these places to get the infor required to really enjoy our PDA/Phones
Ok now to the problem
I have an XDA 2S with the latest Rom, i use it for business because of the WiFi and its ability to browse websites and support Putty
However since getting it i have had nothing but problems with using Bluetooth on it , i now have 6 different Bluetooth Brands ranging from Nokia, Ericsson, Blueant and Jabra and to date none have provided me with quality Bluetooth voice...... Well nothing like my Nokia or NEC mobile phones.
The issue i have is that voice is constantly breaking up, even when the phone is like 30cm away from the Bluetooth, i have tried everything but one thing!
And this is where i need to probe the wisdom of some of you
1. Is there a way to upgrade the Bluetooth Drivers on the phone? IF there is can some one direct me to either downloads, Litriture for reading or to any websites that talk about it.
2. Is there a way to upgrade the Bluetooth Firmware from version 1.1 to 1.2? The guy i was speaking with from O2 said that he has heard/seen people do it in some cases was successful and in other cases destroyed the phone to the point where a re-load had to be carried out.
Any infromation on this problem that others can share with me would be greatly appreciated, if anyone else is having this same problem please do share your experience with me and if any work arounds let me know
Mobile Spec's:
O2 XDA 2S
Firmware 1.40
Radio version 1.12
Bluetooth Headset = Nokia HS-26W
If i lack any information please let me know.
Thank you in advance
Cheers,
David.

TomTomGo 300 & WM6

Hi Guys,
I've done some searching of this forum, and can't find anything relating to Tom Tom Go 300's here - so I figure it's safe to post this
I've upgraded to WM6, and everything works wonderfully, but for one thing...
I've a TomTomGo 300 Portable SatNav device, and it doesn't seem to want to work with WM6 - any reasons why? Anything I do to fix it?
When I try and pair the phone and the TTG, it finds the phone - but then comes up with something about there being no required services on the phone. Is this because we don't have DUN on WM6?
Any help/suggestions/abuse appreciated!
Ta!
Matt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310411&highlight=tomtom+DUN
hope you get it running soon as you atleast need a TT to find your way '-)
Bah! I thought I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't for the life of me find it.
Will follow that thread then!
Thanks!
Matt
Which TomTom are you using?
Instead of starting a new thread, I'll keep using this regarding navigation options.
I have a Cingular 8525 with the VP3G LSVW rom. Since I've read other threads that the internal GPS chip in the TyTN is hopelessly disabled, I'm wondering what type of TomTom software + gps device is everyone else using? I'm thinking that there is something that can connect via BT or emu to my device that will provide the gps portion and then I can just install software.
Please post what you have and links to products would be even better!

Bluetooth carkitt no longer working after upgrade to WM6

A few days ago I upgraded my HTC P3300 to the official WM6 rom.
All works fine except calling using my bluetooth carkitt.
The carkitt I have is the factory carkitt in a Peugeot 307SW. I've read somewhere this carkit is made by Parrot and can also be found in the Peugeot 207, Citroen C4 end some Seat models. Googling showed averyone with those carkitt's has the same problem sinde the upgrade to WM6. It all worked fine in WM5 by the way. I've also tested with several non official WM6 roms, but it's still not working.
Connection and pairing the phone is not the problem. I do see the contact list in my car display and I can even see the battery status. The problem is when I dail. My speakers mute my radio/cd sound, but I don't hear the phone through them. It's just silent. I can't hear the person answering the phone and I don't hear the dial tone. The strange thing it sometimes works. I have the impression it starts to work after I strated tomtom, but I'm not sure about it. What never works is when people call me. The phone rings, but when I answer I can't hear the person on the other side.
Is there any way to fix this? It looks like bluetooth 2.0 isn't 100% compatible with bluetooth 1.1 or it's a bug in WM6. There is no upgraded firmware for my carkitt available and like saif before, a lot of other car owners have the same problem.
Please help.

Same problem here... when upgrade to WM6 official the sound in the car is gone when dailing. Phone is connected but I'am unable to hear anything... everything goes into mute...
I'm stuck with the very same problem. I'll try JetWare and change some configs, but I fear it will not work.
If I have any news I'll post them.

I have the same problem.
Car kit BT Peugeot 207 and HTC 3300 with cooked room wm6.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I have found deactivating the bluetooth and reactivating on the call works.
I would hope someone finds a solution. What would be the downside of going back to WM5?? I cannot remember why I upgraded now.....
I finally downgraded to WM5, but I'm interested in knowing if new WM6.1 ROMs have corrected the problem. We have both Blak&Blue and Vanilla versions based on WM 6.1
I've not upgraded to WM6.1 because I'm tired of problems. If someone try to install it, please report
Regards

Mine is an HTC P3300 locked to local Movistar provider. To downgrade, you must find a WM5 ROM, that's all. I found ART_HTCESN_1.14.412.1_026790_ESN_Ship.exe but it is Spanish, so probably it doesn't interest you.
Downgrade procedure was exactly the same as upgrade.
Would you be so kind to test some WM 6.1 releases with the car's bluetooth before downgrading to WM5?. It could work and I assume that in any case you are going to reinstall everything, so a kick install should be not much of a problem.

Yeah i would be happy to.
If someone can point me in the direction of what I have to do.
I have a UK o2 XDA, so I assume I would need to unlock it first?

Nice!
But I find a problem, isn't your O2-XDA also known as Wallaby? I mean, if I'm right you are posting in the wrong forum or at least you should be advised not to install another PDA ROM on yours becouse you risk to brick it. We are posting at Artemis forum. Of course, Bluetooth problem seems not related to PDAs but WM6
On this forum there is info about how to unlock your PDA. Unfortunately I dont find any ROM for your device.

Same Problem
hi all,
207 FACTORY KIT / M650
I have the same problem, only the original ROM under WM5 work properly...
I Tried many bluetooth soft on several tips and WM6 release...
AJE , 1.5 / 6 /8 / 9 / 2.0 beta........
Now i am under B&B 5 (WM6.1) and the problem persist
I note that if i desactivate bluetooth stereo and fix sample rate to 44Khz, it looks to work a little better than before.
If i wait between 2 phone call (out), it works much.
If i answer to a phone call with the remote control it never works.
If i answer with green touch on the phone it work ALL the time.
Are we condamned to stay under WM5 !??
WM5 -> bluetooth but no CRM (does'n't want to work)
WM6 -> No bluetooth but CRM...
I choose to work on this but any result, since more than eight month...
HEEEEEEEEEEELLLP US AND SHAME ON PA**OT
PS: HTC and parrot pass a deal to increase compatibility of their product...
Since this time does anybody tel to parrot on this problem ?
Does newer HTC product originaly under WM6 work fine one factory kit (peugeot/citröen 207/C3...) because if no, i think parrot sucks ! they update firmware on all their product, but for product sells to peugeot or citroen -> NOTHING
Thx for the info. It's a pity that the problem persist on WM6.1
We are hooked to WM5 and to my eyes, the Artemis and PocketPCs look older than ever.
At the end, I think it is a Microsoft problem. PSA Bluetooth CarKit works flawlessly with WM5 so Microsoft changed something to the Bluetooth stack on WM6. Shame on them.
I'll wait to WM7, but I don't have too much expectations.
Regards
Some hotfixes are available from HTC regarding bluetooh, only not for the Hermes. damm.
Anyone tried one of these already? Currently still not able to updrade to WM6.1
