You can see the item 9133392608 is for the sale to the ebay.
The reasons I would like to share with you are the following:
1. The unit is not very practical for business use.For example on the road you have to open the unit and press the stylus . Totaly impractical , I use to have a P910i and I could do any task (e.g. check my email) in 2 seconds.
2. Although the screen is VGA you cannot take advantage of it.
3. With any ROM i had tried (inluding latest DOPOD rom) , only with i-mate latest ROM i have 99.99% reliability.
4. The BT (JX-10) disconects sometimes with all the ROM i had tried.
5. It is like a PC (I have powerbook MAC tiger since 1 year) that needs formating once a week so it can work faster.
6. The 3G (UMTS) it's nice but OS it is a big bottleneck.
7. It cannot be sync MAC OS X without any issues (like my P910 use to). There is a sofware called missing sync in beta for WM5 but it doesn't work always.
Why am I KEEPING my universal

1. the unit is very practical for using on the road (do you know any other laptop that fits your pocket :wink: )
2. you can use the VGA screen if you want to (its not easy though)
3. up to date stock info is more reliable then old info 8)
4. ..
5. its like a PC i can do everything i want on it.
6. i love having internet in the train
7. can sync with exchange server

1. If you don't know how to use it, it's very impractical yes.
But if you know how to use the keyboard, you can start any program and do everything without having to touch the stylus or the screen. It's perfect for in a car as I use it like that with a brodit carholder.
2. It has VGA and it's perfect for using remote control like www.logmein.com, I can connect to my homepc 640x480 full screen and start a download so when I come home it's finished, or check websites that don't work very well on Pocket internet explorer.
For as far the desktop of the pocketpc, who wants that in VGA mode all the time? it's way to small for that.
3. I use the latest QTek ROM and it has eveything I need like MSN, A2DP, AKU2 and is super stable. Nothing to complain.
4. I am using a bluetooth carkit supertooth II and a Bluetooth GPS at the same time without any problems.
5. It's like a PC I can watch series like southpark in the car with the sound coming from my car speakers with an FM transmitter. I watch videoclips, MSN, read email and the only time when I need to reinstall it is when I want to checkout another ROM.
6. The UMTS is perfect when my DSL is down, I connect my Universal as a modem and use the internet through the UMTS connection.
Download abut 45KB upload 7KB. Only for the low ping of 200-250ms it still is perfect for browsing and even downloading stuff.
7. Then stay with your P910 and your Mac. When you bought a Mac you knew you would have compatibillity issues with almost every program on the internet. Now the Universal doesn't work very well you balme the universal?
I am happy with my universal, and the complaints you are making has nothing to do with the universal. But with the user behind it .

Buying a Pocket PC for use with a mac is... mad, surely?
Next time, do your homework, and nice seeing you - enjoy your P990 forums.
I planned to buy a Universal on eBay, but after reading your post I decided not to bid on a machine as lousy as that

Use Nokia HS 12w...Stereo BT,FM and caller ID...I hope this eliminates all the "impractical" things
Speed and reliability
This is the key for a business phone appart from practicality.
I loved the phone for the 3G / UMTS connection but Microsoft had prooved again how badly they design their OS.
I agree with you that it is cool but it is a gadget and gadgets are cool.
But if you want to be serious and do some work , you would wait , upgrade the ROM when a new version comes up , sync again ...and waste your time.
It is no suprise that companies who control the biggest of the mobile phone market they don't use the WM as an OS but symbian.
On the other hand I am very happy to read this forum and I would missed that .

Using the ROM of QTEK the BT JX-10 lost it's service and I had to re-enable it at the time that I was in a meeting.
With i-mate ROM i didn't had this issue but sometimes the voice was breaking up.
hi
in one of the posts above.. i noticed that the author is using gps via BT
i love my jasjar and use a holux bt gps with the universal but every 6to 7 mins the jj goes screen off and i have to re-establish the BT connection
how can i make some settings that would let me JJ keep awake and not turn the BT off...
im using the latest qtek rom aswell
thanks

I don't know why that happens. If I were you I would do the following.
1. USe the houlx with another pocketpc to find out if the problem lies with the holux GPS or the Universal.
2. If it's the Universal upgrade to the latest ROM.
3. I use the Universal in my car with an active holder. So it's charging while I am using my GPS and the screen stays active. Maybe that has something to do with it but I doubt it. I use the Adapt 300 GPS by the way.

From your footer I see that you have a history with WM including VELO 1.
I had one too , and return it for a PSION and then PALM devices and never got a WM device only till recently.
FYI, the jasjar syncs with MAC OK with missing sync beta 2.5a10 .
I think I would go for an E61 nokia instead .
I just sold my O2 Exec on eBay too, for the same reasons -- not practical for business. Too "clunky" physically... OS and software too slow.

If a symbian OS mobile was using a 500Mhz processor than it would be able to make some coffee , wash the dishes ..etc.
WM5 mobiles are power / memory / system resources hungry .
Of course it always depends of the user , if you want the smallest notebook like a friend here wrote than it is the one.

Having just bought a Tytn I found that my tomtom 6 didn't work. I seemed to have two issues. 1) It hung up frequently and 2) It kept losing my external bluetooth GPS receiver.
I thought I'd go to Tomtom's page to see if there was a fix given that HTC mention this saying that Tomtom have updated version 6 for the device.
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/htctytn/support/faq.html?id=539&cat=applications
To my horror I I found this page which suggests that the device is not supported, never has been and never will be. The reason according to Tomtom is due to an agreement with HTC,
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/htctytn/support/faq.html?id=539&cat=applications
I am trying to catch up on this device so am swamped by data at the moment but this is a real blow to me as one of the main priorities is to run Tomtom 6. When I bought the device I assumed that it was just a pocket pc with a phone in it. Seemingly I am wrong as there appears to be differences with the hardware or Tomtom checks the device it's running on and presumably refuses to work properly.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how ( if at all to get around this issue). Currently my device still has mobile 5 but I am ploughing through the plethora of information on this site trying to figure out exactly what I should and shouldn't do. I've a lot of catching up to do..
Any advice / suggestions would be most welcome, it seems too strange a concept to be locked out of running a pc app just because of the hardware it's running on.
EDIT: Apologies moderator this probably shouldn't be posted in the wm6 thread even though I am intending to move over and would like to use tomtom on that. Please move it if necessary.

Try a search on the Hermes forum. I found lots of stuff.
I found THIS ONE . But there were MANY others. Some users reported success with some ROMs.
Don't fret, it works fine on mine... Are you running a WM6 image - you may wish to upgrade to wm6 if you're not. (or downgrade to TT5.....)
Treat the issue as 2 separate problems, bluetooth related loss of GPS unit, and the stability of the TT6 software.
There are any number of other applications that will let you connect and read signals from the GPS unit, try these to see if you have a faulty gps unit or if its TT playing up.
Once you're happy with this look at the TT issue.....
I have 2 Varios II and I can admit that I had some issues with TT6 with WM5. TT liked to freeze when I was typing in the address or browsing through menus. When I changed to WM5 AKU3.2 it was better, but still not perfect. Eventually, it was WM6 that helped me. Now TT6 is running without any issues (of course it can freeze from time to time when I have too many programmes running in the background). Just try any of new WM6 and everything should be fine.
I had TT5.21 which people said run fine which didnt on wm6 but TT6.1 works fine
Long time since i've been on here but while i was browsing about, i saw this problem. All i can suggest is using the inbuilt GPS and see how that works? I have TT6 as well and i have used it perfectly well on an XDA Mini, XDA Orbit, SPV M700, HTC Touch, HTC TyTn II... seems a bit odd that you're having these problems. Have you since cured the fault or is it still being a bit of a ****bag?!
While i'm here... anyone got the latest maps at all for TT6? Shout me on [email protected] if you have any info on TT6 or need any PDA / Pocket PC help.

Yeah, I had established that the gps was working fine, I've been happily using it on my ipaq 2210 for ages. Then with the Hermes testing with gpsgate and some other stuff showed no problems.
The problem I had was that my TT6 was a 2GB SD card version and I didn't have micro SD big enough to test it. I had about 1hour to play with my friend's one and that's when I discovered the two problems.
He lent me the card to play with this evening and I've made a little progress now. I've sorted the flakey GPS operation, primarily by changing the com port, deleting the pairing and pairing again. So far that's not dropped out since.
Tomtom runs but freezes, this appears to be a confirmed problem which I hope that WM6 will solve as (mean-machine) suggests.
I feel a lot happier that the damn thing runs at least. The freezing appears to be related to cpu usage as I find that that zooming right out on a map is a good way to cause this to happen. The menu screens can be a problem too and the rest appear intermittent. As others have stated in other threads, hitting the red button and then switching back to TT will free it up.
I guess the next thing is to study the Wiki and try an make sense of the order things need to be done to put WM6 in, which Rom if any, which version of WM6. ... Information overload, so I think I need to take it slow and ingest the data .
Thanks for all the replys guys, it amazes me how much support HTC has and how many of you are passionate about them. Up till a few months ago I had never heard of HTC, now I doubt I'd consider anything else.

I have been using TomTom 6 on my Imate Jasjam (TyTn) both with WM5 and many versions of WM6. It works flawlessly never missing a beat. What com port are you using? Have you turned off secure connection?
@louiscar: a good place to start with upgrading info (to avoid the overload) is THIS SITE . Great guides that make it simple.

Hi rbin,
I've currently got the GPS panel set to 'program port = com2', 'hardware port = com0' and my bluetooth gps is set to 'outgoing = com0'
Currently this works well so the GPS issue has been resolved.
Tomtom on the other hand freezes pretty much as described here:

and in a number of other threads.

Great link, thanks Todd. Reading glasses are on already.
TT6 w/Pharos and Holux recievers work great
I've an AT&T Tytn upgraded to WM6 and have no troubles with my Holux or Pharos receivers and TT6.
Everything works great EXCEPT issues with data connections such as TT Buddies or traffic. This isn't unique to the PDA version of the software though, as I also have a standalone TomTom GO 910 paired with the phone and it works almost okay as a bluetooth speaker phone, but constantly has trouble getting a good data connection.

I have used TT6 on my MDA VArio II (TyTn) for almost a year...no problem. Now I have the TyTn II
Same here.. been using Tom tom 6 on my Tytn since the day i installed wm6, no problems here, works like a charm!
HEAT???
I have been using TT6 on my Imate JASJAM running the DOPOD WM6 ROM without much trouble (no hanging etc). The only problem I am experiencing is huge power drain and the unit being physically hot when running TT. Maybe this power drain and potential overheating can cause some units to hang and playup, or potentially any unit given the right environment!
Anyone else finding their units getting a bit hot?
I've been using TT6 on my Tytn (MDA Vario II) almost one year now. No problems. Started using TT6 while running WM5, upgraded to WM6 (schaps rom), reinstalled TT6 and it just continued as before. No problems, no hangups no freezing. I've been using all kinds of different charts with TT6, so I don't think the problem is with TT.

Going to try your settings too, cause on all WM6 roms I tried I keep losing my GPS BT connection. I'm not damn sure it got nothing to do with TT6. But when I delete my gps and reconnect it while TT6 is up and running, TT will find the gps straight away. So imho it's the BT connection that fails and not TT.
It's really annoying though.
Cheers, M
I have been running TomTom Navigator 6 on my JASJAM for some time. The hanging problem described is probably caused by having all the Points Of Interest (POI) active.
Go into the TomTom settings menu and de-activate ALL the POIs. Try it, then only turn on the ones you actually require.

Doesn't work either. Seems that after a soft-reset the BT connection with my GPS is f*d. Very strange because the BT headset doesn't suffer any of this. Maybe time to buy a new GPS, but with WM5 I never experienced this behaviour.
I found that with tt6 you need to have the WM6 internal gps settings set to "None" for both program and hardware port. Then make sure the box is checked in the last tab so it autodetects the com ports. Once all this is set and you goto add a bluetooth gps device in tt6 it gives you the option to use com port 0. select this port and it should detect your gps unit with no probs. Been running tt6 on my 8525 with tnt's latest cooked rom and things couldn't be running smoother.
Edit: On another note. I used to use Telenav with my 8525 with the original at&t rom. I had the worst luck with that application. I would constantly lose my gps connect and I almost always had to do a soft-reset to get it working again. It is quite possible that Telenav was not the issue and that the particular rom I was using had bluetooth connection issues that were resolved when I switched to a cooked rom such as the tnt one. So for those using tt6 with BT connection problems you may want to try a different rom and see how your luck goes.
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 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

Hot fix for resolving Bluetooth headset sound problem that occurs when reconnecting with HTC Touch Cruise
If you are using the Bluetooth headset, “Jabra JX10”, “Jabra BT500” or “Samsung WEP 150”, and the headset becomes out of range or undetected by the HTC Touch Cruise, in certain circumstances, you may be unable to hear any sound from the headset even after it has reconnected successfully with HTC Touch Cruise. Please install this hot fix to improve the connection when using the above-mentioned Bluetooth headsets.
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
What map software and GPS units are everyone using?

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
The device is Holux GPSlim 236. The phone is Hermes. The phone will pair without question on a 6.0 rom, does not matter who cooked it.
It will specifically not pair with 6.1 roms.
I can see the device when scanning for bluetooth devices, i can choose it, it asks me for passcode, but will not accept the "0000" as the passcode. (tried hardware and software keyboards). IF i type in a passcode OTHER than "0000", it appears to pair, i can see the spp slave service and select it, but once the gps software tries to talk with it, it asks to pair again.
Something is definitely different in the pairing process between 6.0 and 6.1.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Also see thread about it here from the Himelaya:

Thanks,

Did you select it as a serial port? You have to do this after you pair the device with the phone!
I am not familar with gps units, does it have a pairing mode like a headset? I know with my Plantronics headset, if I let my phone discover it without the headset being in pairing mode, the phone says it pairs with it, but it really doesn't, so I put it in pair mode then turn on bluetooth on my phone and pair up as normal(0000 passkey) and all works fine.
I have exactly the same GPS unit and have no problem pairing it with the probably 15+ WM6.1 roms I have tried.
Try leaving the battery out of the 236 slim for a few minutes and see if that helps. (can't remember is there is another way to reset it)
Bluetooth Pairing with 6.1
In the latest PC Pro magazine in the UK, there is an article on WM 6.1. It says:
"There's another neat feature in WM 6.1, namely that when you try to pair the phone with something like a GPS dongle or hands-free kit that has a fixed PIN, the operating system will cycle through a set of common codes (0000, 1234, 8888 and so on) to try to find the right one."
It goes on to say that there is the potential to get locked out of the pairing if it goes wrong.
I have to say that I have not had any problems pairing with my GPS unit and my car kit, using a number of 6.1 ROMs. Indeed I have seen no evidence of the above software routine trying to pair for me. Possibly, that routine will only appear in the production ROMs, rather than the development ones which we use on XDA Developers.
I had issues with the same device on some roms. I eventually changed BT drivers from WM6 and all went back to normal.
On some WM6.1 roms things went OK though.
Try not using any password when you try and pair it manually.
If it asks would you like to pair your device automatically select no and do it manually.
I was having this problem but WM6.1 does not require a bluetooth passcode for most devices.
mines gps is a holux 240 and i have the same probs
ive mentioned it on a couple of threads, im glad to know im not the only one

You are not the only one
I reverted back to the 6.0 and it pairs without issue. I am thinking that alot of these cookers do not pay much attention to the development of bluetooth in some of their roms. Its not like I changed something on the GPS, so something must have happened with the software.... Still investigating. I hope it works on schaps new rom.

this method paired my jabra automatically, it didnt even ask if i wanted to do it auto, i juck clicked "pair" and there it was.
When pairing the holux 236 on the other hand, it would ask for a passcode, then reject it if you put in the correct code of "0000". If you canceled it, it would appear in the connected devices list!!, but still ask to pair once the gps application tries to connect. VERY jacked up.

Did that article describe any way of disabling that feature? That functionality could easily trick a simple bluetooth device if it is not expecting such a rampage of codes...

Wam, which rom are you using now that it works with? id like to download and try it. The 5 or so ive tried did not work.
I power cycle the device without any change in pairing succession.
Thanks!
