Is there an app that can use the buildin GPS over bluetooth (transporm Desire into a bluetooth GPS) like ExtGPS (symbian app) ?
I have garmin on my laptop (which has the only map for my country) thus can use desire to act as a BT GPS instead of carrying N95 for this purpose
And I would like to do the opposite
My Desire reboots every time I try to use the GPS. Tried different ROMs, Radios.. it still happen. I have a bluetooth GPS and I would like to use it, to see will it then reboot.

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.

Does any one know if there is a GPS for the S620? or does it have LBS?
thanks....
You can buy one bluetooth GPS and connect to the S620
you could run navizon which does wifi and cell positioninig if you dont want to carry a gps around. www.navizon.com
I use Socket Communications Bluetooth GPS Receiver and would highly recommend it. It works excellently with CoPilot Live Smartphone 6.
I have a bluetooth gps reciever. Mark qstarz gps 818x. The htc desire sees the reciever and connects, but then says paired. disconnected.
Is there a way to add GPS method.
And i can't see the reciever in my location in the menu.
There are more people with this problem or knows someone a solution
Thanks Roy Timmermans

Any particular reason for not using the built in GPS receiver?
No but it saves battery and this gps mouse has 64 satellites. I want to know why he does not work. And curiosity
I'm not 100% sure but I didn't think there were 64 gps satalites?

I've checked. There are 66 channels which can be exploited. for fast acquisition.
You wont get a faster acquisition than the desire, unless you tell your gps unit roughly where it is in the world.
The desire already knows this, and that's why it locks so quickly

But the main question about connection between Desire and b/t gps, remain!
Once paired you have to press 'connect'. That's what I had to do with a bluetooth stero unit.
Hey there, I'm also having this issue. I have the same GPS Unit and was wondering if I could use it to enhance the accuracy of my current GPS setup? Currently it says the accuracy is within 100 meters. With my old phone I was able to get it to within 2 meters using my bluetooth receiver. I have tried the "hitting the connect" but am unable to find that button, otherwise I'm sure it would be an obvious option. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Yeah i know there's a lot of thread here in xda-developer asking bout this issue...but i can't found one with HTC Desire HD, so it's ok, right?
I have an HTC Desire HD, i use capdase case on it to prevent scrath, but eventually it's makes it hardly to lock GPS signal using internal GPS.
I have a Hollux M-1000 Bluetooth GPS Receiver, which i ussually use with my Archos 70IT. For navigation i use NDrive. In my Archos, i use NDrive for navigation via Bluetooth GPS Tether to my Hollux and it's work like a charm, NDrive can run as it's an internal GPS. Archos 70IT run Froyo 2.2 and has a Built-In bluetooth GPS tether in it's bluetooth configuration, so there no need a third party application involved. On the other hand, my HTC Desire HD run on Gingerbread 2.3.5, and it has no built in bluetooth GPS tether configuration, so i install an application called Bluetooth GPS Provider. With it i can connect my DHD to Hollux M-1000 and got GPS signal ( Location Mock enabled ). I can run Google Maps with internal GPS off, but when i try to use the same NDrive i installed in my Archos, it's failed, it's says GPS is Off and i can use it for navigating. Is this an application permission issue or an OS issues?
Just wondering if someone somehow can porting those Bluetooth GPS Tether available in Froyo to Gingerbread, it would be very very nice..
Sorry my poor english
I use a bluetooth GPS receiver in my car for two reasons
1. It has an athermic windscreen and the bluetooth GPS with an antenna in the back window gets a much better signal
2. I use it as a trigger for a tasker script so that the phone knows that it is in my car
I am thinking of putting a bluetooth audio receiver in the car as well so that I can stream music from the phone to the car speakers
Is the One-X capable of simultaneously communicating with two different bluetooth devices?
thanks
gps test?
Which to do gps test my one x ?
I use an app called "Bluetooth GPS Provider" which works brilliantly. I think that is what your question meant?
Mine will connect to hands free and my obd2 reader at the same time via bluetooth. Do you have a way of testing before buying?
i think if it uses different protocols for each device then it would work
ie if one used a2dp and the other uses whatever gps uses, then yeah i think it would work , but best bet is to test it out first
