Hello, just thought I would share my problems with you after installing TomTom 5.
I use a Blueangel (badged as XDA2S) with all the latest patches etc, but with the standard ROM.
After installing TomTom 5 I get the following problems.
1. No Virtual (screen) keyboard
2. The signal strengh meter does not display any bars or indicate the number of satellites locked onto
3. When I save my "home" position it only saves the co-ordinates in that session. If I shut down TomTom and re-start it then the "home position is lost
4. If I receive a call whilst the navigator is running, my XDA really struggles to display the telephone interface.
5. There is no option to change screen sizes
I suffered NONE of the above whilst using TomTom 3 so I have just removed TT5 and re-installed TT3 WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.
TT5 worked well apart from the points above, but most of all I loved the extra detail and the super quick rastering/vectoring on the graphics whilst on the move.
Does anyone know if TT4 is worth installing, and what are the advantages of it over TT3?
Cheers

Virtual screen keyboard is a known problem, if you use "Advanced Planning" the OSKB works fine (or at least it does on my unit XDAIIs), the lack of sat info is strange are you leaving it long enough to sincro - it could take upto 20 min for the first time? is it wired or BT if wired is the IRdA ll beams still selected - if so turn it off and the wired unit will work I have had endless problems with my unit and in the end swapped it for another identical handset - and now it all works - I never got TT3 to work correctly as I use a BT headset and the TT3 locked it out from connecting, TT5 doesn't work fully with the XDAII2s using BT GPS and headset - when you terminate a call it closes down the GPS connection as well - since I have now set it all up running vs5 with wired GPS and BT headset its great - it does exactly what I want, check you settings and get back to me with more specific info if you want - mike
Hmm, intrigued that you say when you use "advanced planning" with TT5 on XDAIIs as if I use this option the OSKB is still missing
Hi, I get no problems navigating at all, but still no keyboard even using the advanced route planning.
Bluetooth worked fine with TT5 and TT3.
Cheers
OK I need to quantify that - I use the advancd planning to find destination on the map and save that as a fav, once this done the OSKB pops up and you can re-name it to what ever you want, its not ideal but I am prepared to live with it untill someone comes up with a fix - tt3 was much better but not on the XDA totally useless, having said that the new XDA O2 have given me has worked faultlesly since Saturday, perhaps the first one was a rougue unit time will tell, first impressions pretty good, no reset in three days and satnav plus phone operable whilst on the road - what it should have done in the first place
Hi Guys
Got my new Smartwatch 3 today but impossible to have a GPS acquisition.
Connected in BT to the phone, MyTracks app start from the watch but once disconnected, the app launch but won't start: no starting clock when clicking the red button on the watch.
Tried outside during 15mn and impossible to start MyTracks when clicking on the red button.
In developper mode / manufacterer, i can't see any GPS information: only have
Accelerometer, Gyro, Magnetometer, Vibrator, Ambient light sensor, Compass, Touch, Product id, Step counter.
Tried to restart, tried to reset the smartwatch but always no GPS acquisition.
Is there an icon when GPS is activated ?
Smartwatch software: 4.4.W.1
Build week 42
BUILD KKW60C
Android wear: 1.0.5.1630507
Thanks

IN my case there is GPS (last entry) and within 30sec I get a lock (it gives long/lat and altitude)....
However, I am on SW version: 4.4W.2....does this explain why you cannot see the gps?
I agree that its your software version. GPS was not supported on the version of android wear that was shipped with the watch. 4.4W.2 is the latest, at least until we get lollipop in a few days.
In my experience on the build with GPS support, if the watch is connected to phone at all, GPS is useless. If I disconnect it, it works and locks on in 30s to 2 mins.
:good: Many thanks... but my SW3 doesn't update to 4.4W.2 even with the reset/unpair trick seen on Youtube
Reset the watch
While the watch is resetting, unpair watch in phone via bluetooth settings
Uninstall and re-install the Android Wear app
Pair normally
Once paired on watch, before even doing tutorial, go to Settings and check for updates
Try Sony PC companion
Finally updated 2 days ago in 4.4W.2 after reading your [Guide] Soft unbrick/reflash stock firmware
Power Off the SW3 normally
Download and install PC Companion
click on "Support Zone", it will be downloaded,
click on "Accessories software update" and then you can choose SmartWatch 3 and PC Companion App waiting for a SW3 connected in USB
Start the SW3 by a long press on the power button until an image saying "connect USB"
Connect the SW3, the driver will be automatically installed.
Sony Companion App will detect that an update is available i.e 4.4W.2
Download start and the SW3 is updated in less than 5mn
This morning updated automatically in 5.0W.1
My GPS is fully functionnal and acquisition times : from 15 to 30 sec :good:
Hello,
I've a problem with my SW3. The GPS doesn't work at all in offline mode (Mytracks, Runkeeper...). No problem in online mode, with my phone.
What is weird is that it has sometimes worked before. So I decided to uninstall just a few applications, in vain. Then all, in vain. So I tried to reinstall SW3 software (5.01) with PC Companion 2 but it didn't change anything.
I tried to obtain GPS signal for around 30 minutes many times, in vain. My localisation is obviously activated. I tried in airplane mode on and off.
Do I have a defective sample ? What would you suggest ?
After that I reinitialised the SW3, it seems to work fine outside. So I guess that I had an application compatibility issue.
Thanks

Have you looked at sony's developer apps? Go to settings, tap about, tap the build number 7 times (will tell you developer mode activated), swipe away the about screen, scroll to the bottom, choose developer options, scroll to the bottom, choose manufacturer menu-launcher.
Run the gps one. If you are outside and don't get any satellites (see the last line), I'm guessing you've got a bad watch.

Thanks for the tips. It worked perfectly well. 5 satellites in my room, with my arm outside the window. And my position is correct.
I guess I had an application compatibility issue. I will install each application alone to identify the faulty one.
Do you know how I turn of the developper mode ?
Thanks a lot !

Reset the watch? AFAIK there's no harm in leaving it on, it just shows the dev options in the menu.
Hi all,
I have sometimes the problem, that at first the watch reacts properly after saying "Ok google". It records my command and also displays the recognized text correctly, but after that it does not execute the command but displays "offline" (e.g. calling a contact or setting the alarm clock).
The connection to the phone itself (using Bluetooth to my Samsung Note 4, Android 5.1.1) is stable. I have read about this behavior also on other forums with different smart watches (e.g. Moto 360). There is some indication that the problem is caused by the phone being unable to access the Internet at the time, although it has a stable and strong 3G connection with no data restrictions set (e.g. allow background data). It also happened when the smart phone was connected to my local WiFi.
The problem is not 100% reproducible. Most of the times the command gets executed by the first try, sometimes the problems disappears after repeating the voice command several times and sometimes it disappears by unlocking the smartphone.
Have you experienced this problem as well sometimes? If yes, are you using a Samsung smartphone and which Android version are running? I somehow have the feeling it is related to the android wear app and maybe to Samsung smartphones.
I also use smart unlock, which means I can simply unlock my phone by swiping the homescreen as long as my phone is connected to the watch and have to use fingerprint unlock otherwise.

I had an LG Urbane that had this issue. I did a lot of reading and found that pretty much every Android Wear watch model has this issue, but it is seemingly random wrether or not you will experience it. I read the same thing about the Huawei watch but took a chance and swapped it for my Urbane and it has been working fine. I would try and return it for another Huawei or a different model, and also downgrade the Android Wear app on your phone to version 1.3.0.2369832 (didnt fix the connection prob for me, but did help with other issues)
Has anyone been experiencing their bluetooth turning off on its own since the MNF26U update? I've tried re-flashing the factory image and doing a factory reset, but the problem still exists.
I've had the same persistent issue also as of recently. Only things that use on Bluetooth is my Hauwei Watch and State Farm Drive Safe beacon. I haven't figured out what is causing the issue.

I also use a Huawei watch and the drive safe app. I'm gonna install an older version of the state farm app as it recently was updated now that I think of it.

FWIW: I've had no Bluetooth issues. Only things I use it for are connecting to my two cars for phone, and Android Auto (which uses USB and Bluetooth connection).
I am also experience this same issue. Seems when I get in my car I have to toggle my BT back on. I am using a Samsung Gear S3 with my Pixel XL.

Ever since I got the Gear S3, my Bluetooth will restart every single time I disconnect my Bluetooth headphones. It also never routes calls through my headsets unless I go into Bluetooth settings and uncheck and then recheck the phone audio option of those headphones every time I reconnect them. I've tried maybe 6 different BT headsets and it's the same case with all of them.
I have been having this issue since NMF26U as well. NOF26V actually seems even worse. It doesn't go off immediately upon connection or disconnecting from my car, but then randomly wile the BT lite will disappear while it is disconnected from any devices. Toggling it back on works as does a reboot that comes back on with BT activated even though it was off when rebooting. Hard to believe after this many updates that BT issues continue to be an issue with this phone.
Probably background tasks are getting killed aggressively. Despite being "not battery optimized", my VPN app gets killed too, if I don't touch my phone for too long. E.g. at night. And yes, I'm facing Bluetooth issue too.
Strange, Bluetooth hasn't turned off since my first post. ?

I've had this issue and I'm not on the latest firmware. It's happened twice now. Very random, a week between. Maybe it was an update with the Google app, I've noticed a bunch of updates recently
I am having the same issue. The only thing I use my bluetooth for is my car. I have to turn it back on everyday when I start my commute.
I think I found a work around....

This suddenly started happening to me as well and at first I thought it was my Moto 360 watch going bad since it kept displaying "Bluetooth Services has Stopped". After looking I noticed my Bluetooth was off on my pixel and here is what I did after learning a similar experience from my Camera shutting down on my old Nexus 6.
I went under Settings/Battery/Click the 3 dots in top right corner and select "Battery Optimization"/Then select the little drop down arrow next to "Not Optimized" and select "All Apps"/ Scroll down to "Bluetooth MDI Services" and Bluetooth Share". I selected both of them to "Not be Optimized" but you can play around and select one or the other to see if it works for you. Since I selected both my watch has stayed connected now for about 2 days straight and my Bluetooth stays connected and connects automatically like I've set up to my car and other devices. It also works and stays on when my phone goes into "do not disturb mode" also....
I'm not saying this is the "fix" for it but it seems to be working for me....
I hope this will work for you guys and helps!

Yeah I would be very curious if it works for you as well and hopefully it does. I was getting very frustrated with it but since I changed those settings it seems to be working fine now and I haven't really noticed any difference in battery performance either.... If you don't mind, keep me posted as I'm curious. Thanks!
Had the Bluetooth turn off on my XL before even entering my car (but I didn't see it happen except when I was about to get in the car and noticed no BT indicator). This was approximately an hour after a reboot and no BT devices had been paired though the indicator was on for some period after the reboot. Pretty hard to believe it was an optimization issue since I had run no apps after the reboot. While typing this, the BT icon disappeared again. Add this to getting a Verizon "Server Unreachable" error on my wife's Pixel yesterday and my XL this morning that both needed reboots to remedy. My frustration with this phone is pretty bad today. Both are unlocked BL, rooted with newest SU, running newest TWRP and newest Google version but otherwise stock. P.S. When you see about 4 Google play updates a day for about 2 weeks (with not very many apps installed other than the base) it is hard to guess what my be causing the issue. OK, rant over.
BT has definitely been a PITA since the latest security update. It's completely ruining the music experience on a car I bought days before the update came out. Since the update I constantly have to toggle bluetooth on then off again to get the phone to connect to the car. Then I have to open Google Play Music and start playback manually. This happens several times a day and is very annoying. Had not a single issue before the update.
I am having issues with Bluetooth disconnecting as well. Was bad on previous build but this most recent update, NOF26V build, is worse. I connect to my truck, watch, and speaker system in home and office. Happens randomly without notice. I have tried to test the "do not distrub" theory, after reboot, etc., so far I have not figured out a root cause or time.
Trying the optimized thing for the heck of it. I noticed that only share was listed and not MDI services. I wonder if that is only available on Google phones and not Verizon somehow or only shows if the BT is connected to the device, but I'm not in the car to check.
I too have a gear 3 frontier and since then I have to reconnect my pixels bluetooth, pretty much once everyday. very frustrating lol
Same BT problem
I have been having the same issue with BT switching itself off for about a week now. Never had any BT issues prior to that. Mine is a Verizon Pixel XL. I noticed it when it wouldn't connect to my car, but I quickly discovered that was because BT was off on the phone. I always leave BT on, so I knew something was funky and paid close attention after that. Once I turn it back on it connects to everything just fine and it stays on for the duration of me using it at that time. But when I go to use it the next time, it is off again. It can be a variable length of time in between when I use it, so I don't know how soon it turns off, but it has to be within just a few hours. This pattern suggests to me that something is turning it off, perhaps to save battery, if it goes without being used for a certain time period. I did not knowingly turn on any setting that does that, so it makes sense that an update changed something. I have not tried the workaround/fix mentioned above; I will do it and report back.
My issue seems to be different from others' as mine isn't just bluetooth losing its connection - it actually unpairs.
In my car (it has an Android Auto compatible infotainment system) it works fine for ages then fails to connect all of a sudden. Then after a while a message pops up on the car's screen saying "bluetooth pairing successful". The phone then asks me for contact sharing permissions. Of course it screws up the smart unlock feature as a result forcing me to set it up again.
On my Huawei watch 2 sport it loses connection and so the wear os app says the watch is disconnected. Bluetooth settings show the watch to be invisible and, as a result, smart unlock gets unconfigured and I have to set it up again. The watch battery discharges very quickly - probably constantly searching for the phone.
I reboot of both devices seems to fix it, for a while.
This is all since the Pie official update.
Does anyone have any fixes please?

No fixes but same problems here
I'm having the same issue also very frequently with WiFi dropping all the time. These two reasons are linked from what I been told. Google telling me to RMA. The pain of that
Mine has done this with my Gear S3 watch since I first got the phone a few months ago, it had me seriously considering returning it for a while. Sometimes it would just disconnect from the bluetooth, but often it would unpair causing me to have to go through the whole set up process again. It did this on Android O, various DP builds of P but so far (touch wood) has been good with the latest version of the Samsung software and Android P.
I'm having the same issues as well and currently searching for answers.
