I bought a XDA2 today, reinstalled all the 3rd party navigation software etc and when I tried the GPS via RS-232 it does not see the GPS reciever!
I am using the same cable as before and it was working perfect with the XDA1, but once I try the XDA2 it will not recognise the COM1 where the GPS reciever is connected via RS-232!
Has anybody any clue whats going on? It seems that I need to reconfigure the COM1, but how? do I need to re-wire it??
Thanks
Andrew
GPS with XDA1 works fine, but not on XDA2
Trie to use the software: http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/
Found the cure from:
http://www.pocketmap.com/accessories/troubleshooting.html#AUTO
it states:
Q: I have a T-Mobile/XDA/Siemens Pocket PC Phone and when I try to connect to the GPS on COM1, it keeps telling me: "Can't Open COM1: Check to make sure no other applications are accessing this port.
A: You have to turn off the "Receive Beam" feature first.
Go to Start->Settings. Click on the "Connections" tab.
Open the "Beam" manager.
Uncheck the checkbox that says "Receive all incoming..."
Restart PocketMap Navigator and try using COM1 to connect to the GPS.
If that doesn't work, try disabling the ActiveSync auto sync feature:
Go to Start->ActiveSync.
Go to the Tools->Options on the menu bar.
Uncheck the box that begins "Enable synchronization when cradled..."
You can try re-checking the box after you get a GPS lock.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No rewiring required, just go to settings/connections/beams and uncheck the box, this will release com1, if you have a keyboard driver you will also need to disable this because it is also likely to grab com1.
Wassup All,
This thread is dedicated to problem resolution. So if you have a prob let us know. And for those who know how to fix the problem post your solution here and let everyone be happy!
BTW, here is a set of solutions for:
1) those whose WM5 lockups during the night (haven't had this for a week or so after applying the following):
a. Make sure your Today Items are compatible with WM5 (disable suspicious items by unchecking Settings->Today->Item name box);
b. Disable HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\Sleep by putting 0 value;
2) those whose GPRS connection drops when putting/receiving a call:
a. Make sure your HKLM\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume contain ~GPRS! value
b. Power off your device after 5sec of GPRS connection establishment
c. Try to place/recv a call
3) those whose Bluetooth over ActiveSync have stopped working unexpectedly:
a. Make sure your desktop PC have at least one network adapter enabled (if you have no adapters you may install MS Loopback software adapter from network adapters section of hardware installation wizard)
b. On your PPC, check ActiveSync->Connections->Syncrhonize all PCs using this connection box
4) those who have dual sim card and changing of cards using flight mode off/on takes so much time:
a. Whenever you need to change sim card start Wireless Modem application, choose Irda from the drop list and tap Start. Then tap Stop and close Wireless Modem. Now you can turn off flight mode in much faster way.
5) Caller ID filter to be used during the night or busy sessions:
a. Assign a ringtone to VIP contact using Contacts->Ringtone
b. Find any silent wave/wma/mp3 file and place it to \windows or \windows\rings folder
c. When you need to receive only VIP calls choose this silent audio file from your Phone->Options->Ringtone drop list
6) To disable automatic repeat of reminder:
Set "0" to HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins value
7) To enable MMS reception:
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=142617
Re: WM5: Problem Resolution Center
Is there anybody who progressed with ArcSoft MMS/Inbox integration?
This thread is an excellent idea. Here are a few questions/issues I am facing with WM5.
- The Alram Bug is back My alarms don't ring. Sometimes they ring once and instead of repeating, like they are supposed to, they just go back to sleep. They will only continue when i turn on the phone (whever that may be).
- ActiveSync is always running on the PPC. If I kill it manually, it comes back after a while.
- Can I hide the BT icon in the system try? Can I control the display (hide/unhide) the system tray?
- Can i customize the soft buttons (Phone, Contacts) at the bottom? i.e. assign other programs to those buttons and change the label?
- Camera and record hardware buttons do't work. This has been widely reported and I believe its under investigation.

In your particular case let's try the following: while your system is powered (power off value does not turn off your device) a set of automatic snoozes will be performed and each snooze will prolong time of power-off.
So, change HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins to a value less than the value of system Power Off.
Example of alarm that repeats every 2 mins on a system that suppose to power-off after 3 mins of idleness:
a. Set up value of Power off (Settings->System->Power->Advanced->Turn off device if not used for) to 3 mins
b. Set the registry value to 2 mins
- Can I hide the BT icon in the system try? Can I control the display (hide/unhide) the system tray?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can control appearance of the icon by moving \Windows\Startup\BTIcon.lnk file to and from \Windows\Startup\ folder. Example, I want tray icon so I leave the file in \Windows\Startup\ folder. Now I don't want tray icon so I move \Windows\Startup\BTIcon.lnk file to a different place and soft-reset my device to get the changes take effect. Moving operations can be performed using Windows Explorer (Cut function)
- Can i customize the soft buttons (Phone, Contacts) at the bottom? i.e. assign other programs to those buttons and change the label?

Place path and name for your applications at the value 1 of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCProg and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSContacts registry branches.
Here is an example of starting calculator when pressing Contacts button:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSContacts\1 = calc.exe OR \windows\calc.exe
WARNING! Changing of CProg branch will lead to remap of your Green Phone Button too.
ActiveSync is always running on the PPC. If I kill it manually, it comes back after a while.

I also noticed that and changed many reg values so don't remembler what helped. First try to uncheck this checkbox "ActiveSync->Connections->Syncrhonize all PCs using this connection" when not using activesync and soft-reset your device to see if it helps. Let me know on your progress pls.
Camera and record hardware buttons do't work. This has been widely reported and I believe its under investigation.

TomTom51/WM2005/BlueTooth problems
Can someone help me?
About every minute TTN5.1 is loosing the Bluetooth GPS
(EMTAC Crux II/BTGPS) but soon after finds it again.
I'm using de TomTom5patch but can not use com5.
Also installed Bluetoothtools, using com4 for the BTGPS.
Com 5 is in use according to Bluetoothtools
(http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/).
Within TTN5.1 i can select the BTGPS correctly on com4.
It identifies itself as the BTGPS.
I'm not using "New Outgoing Port" or "New Incomming Port"
because i'm not sure if this is necessary.
If it's necessary, what port must I use?
Can the settings done by the TomTom5patch be reversed and how?
Which settings are affected by this patch?
How do i disable Infrared on the Himalaya?
How do i disable BT within TomTom?
My main issues seem to be
MMS- Cant get to work at all
GPRS- Cant get internet over GPRS
Camera and Notes button- Can live without these
i have the same problem with tomtom my bluetooth keeps droping out.
i'm using tomtom5.0 and the tomtom com5 patch
with the deflut microsoft bluetooth
i set my outgoing port to com5 and tomtom5.0 can find it but like i said it drops out alot
and one more side note i put my com5patch file in my tartup folder but after i soft-reset and try to start tomtom. tomtom can't find com5 so i have stop tomtom and manuly go start the com5patch
this kinda sucks so if anyone can help that would be great

Automatic disconnect is known feature of Pocket Bluetooth Tools it automatically disconnects after 1 minute of BT inactivity. As I remember you can stop this feature by taping on clock icon at your today so your clock icon should not have white color but should be grey. Warning!

Sorry don't have TT & BT GPS. Haven't you tried Settings->GPS Wizard for setting up your GPS?
0) Pair your GPS using serial profile
1) Set COM9 to Settings->GPS->Programs tab->"GPS program port:"
2) Set COM0, if not using ActiveSync over BT, or COM1, if using AS over BT, to Settings->GPS->Hardware tab->"GPS hardware port:"
3) Make sure your Settings->GPS->Access tab->"Manage GPS automatically" is checked
4) Open your TT and select COM9 in your device configuration window
OR
0) Pair your GPS using serial profile
1) Select your device through Settings->Connection->Bluetooth->Com Ports->New Outgoing Port->Your GPS Device
2) Tap Next
3) Select any port under "Port:", e.g. COM8
4) Open your TT->GPS Device Configuration->Select Com8
Try to check if your GPS works... if not, continue with the following:
4.1) Open Settings->GPS Wizard, Assign hardware com port to COM8 (Hardware tab) and Assign program com port to COM9 (Programs tab), check the "Manage GPS automatically" in Access tab
4.2) Select COM9 in your TT.
Good Luck! ;-)

Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
Solution for TomTom51/WM2005/BlueTooth problems
Hi all,
I think I've found a solution.
TTN5 works for me perfect now, but when I activate the
compass so it will display itself on the navigation screen,
then the GPS is lost (and found again) about every minute.
When I deactivate the compass, there is no problem at all!
So, try this and let me know if this solves your problem.

Hi y'all,
i have a BT GPS receiver that i used with my Qtek 2020 (before this was stolen... ).
Now i have a XDA Exec from O2, but i am not able to set the receiver!
Anyone has any tip for me?
Thanks a lot...
...no one can help me out...??? Please...
Check out this guide and follow from after installing tomtom and you should get BT GPS working with exec, I did!!!
ps search term used was 'tomtom 5.1 guide'
hope this helps!

Hello,
first the bad news: not every bt-reciever is working...
but you should try this way:
Connection-Manager
Enable BT
Setting (Connection-Manager) BT-Settings
Tab devices and ad new partnership (be sure, BT-Reciever is on)
Pair it with your Universal (pin is usuall 0000)
Tap Com-Ports: new outgoing Port (your BT-Reciever) set to com 4
Tap Com-Ports: new incomming port (your BT-Reciever) set to com 8
Now it should work!
Thanks for the tipo...now i don't have my GPS receiver with me...but tomorrow i will give it a try.
The only thing that i find strange is: when i try to set the outgoing port i find my BT receiver in a box, but when i try to set the incoming port i dont' find it anywhere.
Something wrong?
Oh...and also...i use the software "GPS View" for the connection with the BT receiver...which port should i open (the COM4, the COM8 or another one?).
I ask you this because i have 10 COM ports available (from 1 to 10), but i cannot open all of them, because some tell me "COM porte error" when i try to open it.
Thanks for your help...
can anyone confirm if haicom-405 bt works with dopod 900?

I follow the tips ...outgoing port (COM4 - which the only port can be used other failed to open), incoming port (COM8).
But it doesnt work with my Garmin10 .... which work well with my previous XDAIIs. Anyone use Garmin1o with Dopo900?
Thanks
Usually, there's no need to setup an ingoing COM port: my Holux 236 receiver, for instance, works perfectly paired with my Qtek 9000 and only the outgoing COM8 setup'd.
The only thing to pay attention for is that TomTom have to be v5.1 or above (better if v5.21), in order to work properly under Windows Mobile 5.0.
Well...in my previous XDAII worked perfectly using the software MAPSONIC and the GPS VIEWER with my BT receiver (and just setting the outgoing port).
I tried to do like Teja told me in his answer (setting the outgoing COM4 and the incoming COM8), but it still does not work.
I will try to get a TOMTOM 5.1 software to give it a try...
solved...and i don't need to setup the ingoing port...thanks for the tips
Hi there! I have MDA Pro from T-mobile (UK) and until now I couldn't set a COM port appart of COM0 port for BT-GPS...
Now have COM4 for outgoing port and tom tom once is connected after 5 seconds is disconnected and again after 5 seconds is connected and again is disconnected and again......
I am using TT 5.21
Help please
I have set the outgoing port on COM8, no ingoing port needed and it works fine...although i don't have TOMTOM!!!
Orange M5000 and BT GPS and TOMTOM 5.21
I thought I share this just in case there are other like me out there.
I had an Orange M2000 with tomtom 5.0 and 512MB SD card.
I installed TT5 as normal on the PDA but the maps on the 512MB SD card.
I just got an Orange M5000 which is XDA EXEC and could not install TOMTOM 5.0 from CD. The SETUP kept on crashing on XP PC.
Here is the solution:
1) Put the SD card with the maps in M5000
2) Did NOT install TT5 from CD but downloaded navupd521.exe from the tomtom site and installed this on M5000 fine.
NOTE: I did not have to copy CAB files. I just installed this as normal from my PC with the USB cable
3) TT installed fine but I could not get it to recognise the BT GPS
I used the instructions below from the forum:
a) Turn on BT GPS
b) on PDA goto BlueTooth seeting --> New Partnership and supply the password (0000) to pair it.
c) Then in Bluetooth settings select the COM PORTS tab
d) Select Incoming port and set to COM8
e) and again in COM PORTS tab select Outgoing ports and select COM4
f) Start TOMTOM and goto Preferences and find GPS Configuration and select OTHER GPS and select COM4
It works every time... ALL my FAvourites etc are still there so no need to type them again.
So far WM5 and TT5 rocks. I will be testing it on the road with my Plantronics BT headset soon. With my old M2000, usually when TT5 is on the M2000 CPU does not have the juice and Bluetooth devices die or stop responding. Also when I stopped TT5 application the BlueTooth stopped.
We will see how M5000 improves on M2000
Thax...
i believe you shouldnt have a problem running your headset and bluetooth GPS together.
when i had a blue angel i ran TT3 with my SonyErricson Car Kit and the TT3 together and made vioce calls at the same time and even now with the Universal i can do the same! run them both together!
only thing is that occasionaly the TT5 seems to be a little behind my actual location if i have made/received a call luckily by only 30-40 yards so can still use the screen to see where my turnings are.
has anyone else found that and got the cure....
thanks
Has anybody managed to configure an external bluetooth GPS unit with the new windows mobie 6.5beta?
I can pair them, but the JRTGPS (JR-29) remains disconnected and when I try to connect it I get:
Code:
Your device did not connect with JRTGPS. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect
Tomtom naturally does not see the GPS unit.
See settings at the bottom. By the way the JR-29 are very sturdy, small and compact and used standard nokia batteries so a lovely and cheap 42 channels bluetooth gps receiver!

Thats one of the best GPS I've had. I had another BT and had problems locking on Sats. Had a wired one and also had problems with Sats. GPSlim 236 always locks on atleast 6 Sats and I've had up to 9 at a time. Great buy!
@Gloomyboy: I haven't flashed 6.5 yet, so can't give you feedback there mate.
I have TomTom GPS and it works well with WM 6.5.
I have a Pharos and it works like a charm.
Well, it must be the JR-29 that doesn´t work with 6.5
pairs ok but afterwards stays disconnected (under the new bluetooth settings) no matter what I do
It works great with my old acer pda with windows 2003 ce

Verify a few things...
1. Make sure you don't set BT GPS as Serial
2. Make sure you have assigned an Outgoing COM Port to the GPS (You need to know which one your GPS uses. IE: GPSlim236 uses Port 6.
3. Try both, Secured and Unsecured for the port you chose.(I use secured)
4. On Settings>> GPS Settings>>Program: verify that you have (None) for "Program Port Software
5. On Settings>> GPS Settings>>Hardware: Select the same COM port assigned under BT Outgoing Port. (my case Port 6)(Baud Rate 115200)
6. On Settings>> GPS Settings>>Access: Select Automatic
Hope this helps. Good Luck

Settings for GPS in WM 2003 and WM 6.x are totally different.
thanks to everybody I got it working now!
In case anybody else has a JR-29 (they were very popular on ebay when I bought it some 2 years ago, cheap and with 42 channels)
Bluetooth Settings:
- Outgoing COM PORT 8
- Authentication passkey required = ON
External GPS:
- Program port NONE
- COM Hardware port 8
- Bauds 9600
- manage GPS on (works with off as well but seems to take longer to handshake)
Hi,
I have a gpslim240 but my situation is like gloomyboy. When I tried to pair my gps, it always said "wrong password". Can you tell me more about what you did to make it work ?
Did you do all the settings part BEFORE or AFTER trying to pair the devices ?
The GPS problem is the only thing make me regret to have a BA because all other things work great.
Any help is welcome.
Thx
mik
As soon as I try to pair up I am prompted for a password and enter 0000
that has never been a problem for me
I hear other passwords are 1234
and 00000
I know my password is 0000, I switch to WM2003 each trip I make to be able to use my GPS. I use it also with my laptop.
So I know for sure this is a problem with any rom WM5+. I was hopeless until today. I just want to know exactly what you done because if this is only a settings problem, it's a great new ... I thought it was a driver problem.
well for my GPS it is a MUST to disable secure connection but I have to enable authentica. Play with those settings...
I too have a problem like gloomyboy while using Windows mobile 6.5 beta without Ramdisk version. But I can connect to my external GPS Holux 1000 by using Garmin XT 5.00.20 software.
I didnt face any problems pairing or conecting to my holux 1000 with ramdisk version from Sundream's one.
Try swampys V3 full rom (not the basic version), it definately has working bluetooth drivers.
Setting up external Bluetooth GPS
You only have to do this, if you want to use an external Bluetooth GPS. If you have never used your external Bluetooth GPS, this takes five minutes.
Connecting via bluetooth
* Make sure that the Bluetooth GPS device is turned on.
* On your phone go to Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Bluetooth.
* Set the checkbox "Turn on bluetooth" on the "Mode" tab.
* Go to the "devices" tab and choose "Add new device".
* Your bluetooth GPS device should appear in the list, otherwise recheck that its bluetooth functionality is turned on.
* Select your GPS device and click "continue" on the very bottom of the screen.
* You may be asked for a password - if you know the password enter it of course. Probably you don't because you didn't configure it.
o If you don't know the password, first try entering nothing (empty password) and continue.
o If that doesn't work try entering four zeroes "0000".
o Otherwise try reading the GPS devices manual or the manufacturer's web page.
* After you took that hurdle, check "serial port" as connection service - then click finish.
* Your device should now be listed on the bluetooth devices tab.
Configuring the COM port
* Go to the COM tab in the same Bluetooth system settings.
* Select "new connection".
* Select your Bluetooth GPS device.
* A COM connection will be shown "e.g. COM8", note this down, and click finish.
* Go to Start-->Settings-->GPS (or External GPS).
* Go to the "Hardware" tab and make sure that the GPS hardware connection is the COM connection you just noted down.
Check if your GPS works
* Start TomTom and configure other bluetooth device, port8

NOTE 1 >> So far in the years I've been using BT Devices, all of them always use password 0000.
NOTE 2 >> Serial port is only used for WIRED attachments using a Data Cable. If its BT, do not check Serial.
NOTE 3 >> COM ports are not chosen randomly. You need to know the specific port that your device uses.
@mik-
You can go to BuyGPSNow and click on Customer Service... Ask a Question... and get the exact COM port that GPSlim 240 uses.
Thx a lot all !!!!
I can now use my GPS !!!!
Here is what I did :
-Add BT device.
-When Asked for password : 0000 ====> Error
-When Asked for password : 0000 ====> Error
-When Asked for password : 0000 ====> No error
Now I can choose a "BT Service" but no service are in the list.
-Save
-In the BT devices list, choose "Edit" for the GPS.
-Go in the "BT Services" and hit "refresh 4-5 times (until the serial service is shown).
-Choose Serial
-Create a new outgoing port (com 6) without secure connection.
In external GPS,
-Choose Hardware Com 6, 38400
Use COM 6 in any GPS software.
I tried to use COM 9 for "program port", but the GPS softwares didn't find a GPS on this port. But since COM 6 works, I'm REALLY happy.
Thank you very much.
so what is the cheapest GPS unit I can buy for BA?
2 years ago I bought my JRT-29 for 35 euros on ebay
It was advertised as bluetooth GPS 42 channels and is black and probably 5cm x 5cm (or 2" x 2" if you are in the states)
It uses standard nokia phone batteries which are easy to source so a very good purchase as far as I am concerned and works with the BA

Hi,
Beg to differ with you:
1. I personally have a BT carkit mirror that has a pairing code of 8888, and I once had a BT headset that had the pairing code printed on a label hidden under the battery. So it is not always 0000 although most of the time it is.
2. Serial is NOT only for wired use. Older BT stacks used to use a virtual serial port for BT protocol communication and some still do. I have a Holux GPSlim 236 and the only service that shows up after I pair it is Serial.
3. The COM port used is not random, but you can pick any one that is free. I have successfully use COM6, COM7 and COM8 with the Holux connecting to IGO. You just have to make sure that you set up the same COM port in the BT settings and in the GPS program.
Personally, I dont even use the external GPS program. I set up the BT device and COM port in BT settings, then I go into the GPS program (IGO or Google Maps) and set the same settings there and it all works.
Hope this helps anybody who is having problems.
I'm looking to have access to the Blackstone phonebook when I connect it in rSAP mode to my Audi MMI.
Because I dont have the very brand new MMI with harddisk navigation and new integrated phone) I can only select numbers from SIM card.
Any comments/suggestions?
I've got an Audi A6 and I use software from jetwaremobile.com to sync my HTC with the MMI.
First try to install the demo version and then look for a config file that lets you SWITCH PHONEBOOKS (between SIM and Outlook).
In my Audi I've got to sync the Outlook Phonebook, Incoming/ Missed/ Outgoing calls and signal strenght.
NOTE: Do not try the AUDI MMI configuration that appears on the web page. It's not necessary and doesn't work.
Mode Handsfree vs. rSAP
thx for your answer.
It sounds to me you are connected in "handsfree mode" - could you check the small sign at the MMI display?
Should show 2 x symbols (1 bluetooth-symbol and 1 signal bar symbol) - right?
I have got the same issue with my VW Passat. It worked fine with Nokia phones, but I also cannot get the phone book over SAP with Win Mob. Tried all version patches etc. But have not been able to find a solution.
The work-around: Copy the needed contacts to your SIM, hide SIM contacts in the phone and let the car sync with the SIM card. It is not the best solution but at least it works.

Teh reason why...
The reason is the use of a proprietary use of a Nokia phone unit in the car of VAG in the past.
All new cars are able to communicate in the right way of bluetooth..
(I tried it successfuly with my HTC Touch HD and a brand new A6 - all worked perfect!)
Did you use the "Handsfree" profile in the Audi, cause I know this works fine? I've tried this with a few rentals.
The problem arises as soon as you want to connect using the Bluetooth SAP profile. In my Passat I have no other option as SAP and I actually like this function, just this phone book issue...
Handsfree
I dont like "Handsfree" because I have to use my inbuilt phoneunit of my Audi - and so I need the SIM access- Biggest advantage is the us of an external antenna with very strong signal.
Nobody else with a hint?

Sorry for the delayed answer.
Yes I've got two symbols, the bluetooth and the signal bar.
I realized that symbols on MMI depends on the implementation of the bluetooth protocol of the phone. For instance, with sony-ericsson I used to have bluetooth, signal bar, SIM entrys (not phone contacs), incoming, outgoing, missed calls, etc.
But with Motorola the only thing I used to get was the bluetooth symbol (no contacts, calls, etc.)
This is exactly what happend when I first connected my HTC, so I searched for a solution. Since I have JetweareMobile I've got the same features than with sony-ericsson, and even more, because I can sync both SIM and PHONE contacts.
It's nicely resolve because when you toggle to PHONE CONTACTS, you get your contact's names in the MMI with a /W, /H and /M for work, home and mobile numbers (you may have several numbers per contact)
If you have the bluetooth car kit and you're having problems, give it a try.
Same result without jetwaremobile.com
ok pitaXDA - thx for your answer.
So I was right - your are using the HTC in "Handsfree" mode - this works fine with the standard Bluetooth Software installed on the HTC - you will not need this extra peace of software.
I don't like the handsfree-mode, because it only uses the Bluetooth connection for the phonebook.
I'm using the rSAP mode - because I want to use the external phone antenna of my A6 and also the phone funtion at the HTC is disabled (like Airplane mode) to save power. The disadvantage for me is the use of phonenumbers stored on SIM only (there is no synch of the "normal" phonbook in that mode)
