Hello all
I downgraded my Qtek 2020 from WM2005 to WM2003 SE.
But now I can't make TomTom 5 recognize my Bluetooth GPS.
In WM 2005 it workes great, but I have the backlight problem, so I come back to 2003 SE thinking that that problem was over, but I was mistaken.
I paired my GPS ok and made the outbond to COM5, but still TomTom don't see my GPS.
I also searched this forum and try'd some of the solutions, but no hope.
Can some one help me with this.

Hi,
does anybody know, if the TomTom Navigator work on an MDA2. I've got my MDA2 since monday and i am not able to get TomTom Navigator (Version2 incl. the newest Updates) running. The installation-process works fine, but if I start the installed software, I get the lovely circling wheel in the middle of the screen...and that's all...hmmm...so, does anybody got a working installation of tomtom2 on an MDA2 or an XDA2 ???
Next question:
Does anybody have experiences with a Bluetooth-GPS-Mouse on a MDA2 (maybe this question is not very important, if the answer of the question above will be nefative ;-)

There's a thread on Bluetooth GPS and the XDA II/MDA II (http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3341)
in which there is an answer to both your questions.
Haven't seen anything new lately on either topic:
- Tom Tom with any kind of GPS
- Bluetooth GPS
I had the same problem, then I tried a different SD (128 instead of 256) card for map storage and it works. I remember TomTom having the same problems with Ipaq 5450’s until HP issued a fix.
I’ve just ordered a Bluetooth GPS.. Looks like I’ve got more problems ahead.

Please keep us informed, regardless if the Bluetooth GPS fails or not..
By the way: I read a review of the new Toshiba E800 PDA (which has a 480x640 screen :shock: and beautiful indigo color (finally something else)) and the author mentioned testing the PDA with a Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver.
At first, he had difficulties connecting the Toshiba and the Rikaline, but managed to solve it by setting TomTom to 'Bluetooth Card' instead of 'COM6'.....
Might be worth a try :?:
Take care :!:
There is no 'Bluetooth Card' setting on Navigator 2.
I still can't get it to work.
Help!

:roll: I guess it has to do with the Bluetooth Manager of the Toshiba then...
Nothing left but wait for Tom Tom updates and more MDA2 Bluetooth profiles
Somebody101, will you try something, install maps to main memory and see if that works, I know you can only install a portion but I would be interested to hear the results.
I have bought a Falcom Navi 1 BT GPS receiver to use with my xda2 (O2 rom 1.72.187) and Destinator 3. I have also downloaded the Dell axim bt patch and have set it to COM 0. When opening the Destinator sometimes the GPS is found, but most of the times it is not! The receiver is correctly set in the Destinator program at com 0. Anyone had this sort of problems before?
BTW, I have also tried the old Bluetooth tools as well with no result.
please help.
GPS Gate
Hi I have experienced the same problems with Falcom Navi 1 BT GPS and HandyMap 2004. My solution was GPSGate from www.franson.biz
Hope this helps

Kind regards
GPSGate didn't work either. Also tried the pocket bluetooth tools, but this sets the bt gps at com7 which Destinator does not see. Any more ideas guys?
I can strongly reccomend upgrading to WM2005 it works like a charm
Hi Guys
Before you go and spend your money on tom tom 5, if you have an xda2i it's not compatible and tom tom won't supoort it. I've only found this out after buying the tt5 upgrade.
I can't get it to see the gps device on outgoing com port 6 on my xda2i.
Got a Fortuna Clip On BT GPS
Lost all the will to live with this now, feel like selling my xda2i.
Any help before it goes on ebay?
thanks
jase
Just got TomTom 5 for my XDA IIi as well. I've got the wired TT GPS receiver and all I get is no GPS device. I've set TT to the right receiver type but can't see anyway of changing the com port to use.
Any ideas? or like you am I screwed
I have an xda2i with TT5 and BT GPS receiver...works fine.
Or at least as good as with TT3. TT5 seems to turn off BT once it's been closed though, bit annoying.
Didn't have any problems with installing it though.

Which BT GPS Receiver are you using?
Can you go through which settings in TT5 did u use, what's your outgoing com port etc.
Thanks
jase
does this thread works for You?

I'm thinking to mget the qtek2020i as wel with the tt5
Hi Goldenhands
I'll give it a go.
Thanks
I've tried this and it doesn't work.
Bluetooth app locks my outgoing com port to port 6. Does this need to be changed?
Thanks

untick recieve all incoming beams under connections
It was already unticked mate.
I have a QTEK 9090 with a BT antenna from TT3.
I simply installed TT5 over TT3 and everything worked right away.
Only problem is that in many screens, the onscreen keyboard is missing so I have to use the slideout keyboard. I expect them to fix that but it's really not that big a problem.
you have an xda2-s?
tom tom 5 is compatible with that but the xda2i isn't according to tom tom.
I am running Tom Tom 5 with the GreatBritain-Map on and XDA 2i with an "Aktronix" Bluetooth GPS reciever and it works absolutly with no problems whatsoever
My GPS reciever isnt paired and uses COM 6:
Tom Tom turns the bluetooth on by itself so my bluetooth is set to off usually.
I dont have a bluetooth headset.
Hi Danny
You saying that you didn't pair your gps receiver in with your xda2i first in the bluetooth manager?
Thanks
tomtom5 and xda2i

TOMTOM 5 Might be able to help you out IMPORTANT
Hi Guys & Gals!.. right might be able to help here... ive got a magician and I got tomtom 5 on saturday... I have the original bluetooth TOMTOM GPS and I had Tomtom 3 on the pda, I uninstalled tomtom 3 and then installed tomtom 5.. and it connected to the bluetooth reciever. Then I went off thinking it would work and it didnt connect (no GPS found), so I reintstalled again did all the bonding int bluetooth manager, and it still didnt work... so I did a hard reset which was a pain but then reinstalled tomtom 5 again.... went to work and it still didnt work so I was in the car messing about trying to get it to bond and did it all again and it didnt work!...
So just got to work (HERES THE IMPORTANT BIT) and went up to my mate whos a techie currently building the largest Oracle solution in the world) and said look this blinking things not working.. so he started proding the screen with the pen all over the place mumbling as he does and hey presto the screen was in the GPS status screen were it shows all the satelite data and he touched the bit thats says NO GPS device (its not a box its just the text) and it then came up to reset the device to finish installation and hey presto it worked!!!!! ....
SO try this if it works the bloke is a genius !....and TOMTOM have a serious floor in there software.
Post on here your findings :lol: I keep checking it every 5 mins to see if its connecting and it is fine now.. SO FAR!
Having said that
Having said what ive just said... ive just turned it on and its now doing it again and not finding the module... dont believe it! it seems very wierd... let me know your thoughts please!
Having said that again.. ive now changed to a wired one in the configuration and selected it then gone back to the bluetooth one waited 60 seconds and clicked on the no gps device again which has reset the device and its working again! wierd.......!
I've tried both Helmis and Ibashas 3.5 ROMS and they are brilliant, but I have one issue with both that I cannot solve.
How do I configure TT6 with BT GPS - I also use a BT headset.
Tried to follow the "old" TT5 manual for Universal and TT5 from this forum, but I cannot select outgoing port to 8.
I've tried outgoing port to 4 and program port 5 and it works ok.
Problem arises when I pair my BT headset also, if it is switched on, when I start TT there is no connection to the GPS, and consequently TT cannot find any satelittes.
Switch off the headset and restart TT and everything is fine again.
A few times it has happened that I get the BT pairing dialog box up after a while with TT started (headset on!) and has entered the passkey again.
So I wonder what settings I should use to be able to use both BT headset and TT6 with a BT antenna, anyone seen/solved this??????
I've tried 2 dif. BT headsets and 2 diff. GPS mice with both ROMS.
Best regards
/Henrik
Nobody experienced this or know how to solve it?
Waiting....
Ok, so nobody knows?
I will try on Buzznet then.

I read in tom tom website, tom tom 6 is not compatible with all device. For example in my case, I use O2 XDA II . Unfortunately tom tom 6 doesn't work with my device so I still use tom tom 5.21
Actually TT6 works exceptionally well with your device, which is the same as mine! - If it wasn't for this BT headset issue that is, it actually think it runs faster and smoother than it does on my JasJar!
But if you want to run it in landscape mode, you have to have either WM 2003 2. edition or even better WM5 in order to be able to use landscape (TT6 doesn't have that facility anymore).
And then you get the issue with the BT headset, which I reckon someone must know how to solve, even if it is a bit strange, nobody gives me any answers, not here and not on XDA-Developpers.
I would so much like to know if this is a known issue with this device and WM5, or if it is too trivial a question for anyone to bother to answer??????

TomTom 6 works perfectly on my xda 2, you are obviously on about the backlight issue, which can be fixed easily
Ok, but can you use a BT headset also?????
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the bt stack used in 6.1 back to the 6.0 one without downgrading to wm 6.0.
I have some strange problems with 6.1 and my bt car kit. With normal 6.1 stack my kaiser crashed after calling over bt. With 6.1 and jetware kaiser doesn't crash but I can't make outgoing calls over bt device.
With 6.0 I had none of these probs.
Hi,
I do have the same experience with my Vario 3 running WM 6.1 and the VW Premium Carkit which uses the rSap protocol...
Any solutions in the meantime with WM 6.1??
