My XDAII wont connect to GPS. I have tomtom5 installed on my xdaII and have tried a BT GPS receiver and a wired one. It will ask you the device type unpon installation and then the port number.
no i dea which port to use and have tried then all anyway. I get a message no device connected. I cannot keep my BT device connect when i pair it either. Tried this on a XDAIIs aswell and exactly same prob.
Please help!!
i would try unchecking "recieve all beam files" in connections
to release com1
and try once more
Turn off beams releases com 1 for the wired gps. I think wired gps is the way to go if you need it for incar use only, I see far too many problems with bluetooth and if you have no sense of direction like me it is very annoying when the bluetooth decides to start acting stupid.
i will try
thanks guys im away from home till wknd so i will try this when i get back.
i will let you know if it works.
thanks
Yup that worked great thanks guys

Hey all...
read through lots of posts, but can't think of a solution to get the gps working.
I have a Rikaline 7 series BT GPS receiver and TomTom2 (Updated to 2.4 and GPS 2.09). I have bonded the device to the xda ok, but can't get the gps to start. I have selected Tom Tom Wireless and BT on Com 6.
Also switch off beams... any tips???
I did a hard reset before i installed tomtom2, no other bt device attached at the minute.
Thanks

I got my Rikaline via post via ebay today. The instuctions were all wrong, telling me that it would be on Com8, when it appeared on Com 7 after some resetting of the PDA (it just wasnt seen at first even though it had bonded) ... sorry, but can't be of any more help than this .... make sure you get the alternative bluetooth stack at:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Try removing the gps from your bonded devices, run the tomtom wizard making sure that bluetooth is in "discoveravble" mode, it should then prompt you to choose, click "new" in the gps manager then when it finds the gps click it and finish. Go to bluetooth manager, switch to "on" and then run tomtom. Might help.
Thanks for the replies - really appreciate it. I tried what you both mentioned, and in the end i had no choice but to use Towa's BT tool and set it on serial com 5 for tomtom2 to pick it up. Every so often i have to rebond the device to keep it working which is a pain, but it works at least.
For some peculair reason, if i take the device out of range, without exiting tomtom2, again i have to rebond the device.
Thanks for the help!

Hi there,
I was using Mapopolis GPS software ver 3.20 on my SX-56 and it was working fine with the GPS reciever being picked up on COM 1. Suddenly one fine day, the Mapopolis software would not work at all and the phone for some reason would not detect the reciever on COM 1. I re-booted, re-installed and eventually blew my ROM and thus the phone entirely trying to work the GPS but to no avail. I kept trying since when I connect the GPS reciever even now directly to my laptop, it still works fine so I assume there is nothing wrong with the GPS unit itself!
I have just bought a new T-Mobile WM 2003 unit and after installing mapopolis on it, it still is not working on the GPS and giving me the exact same problem. I have put it on "autodetect" and it goes in a loop on the COM Ports and starts from COM3, then COM8 and then COM9 then back all over again...it does not even start from COM1...when I remove "autodetect" and set it on COM 1, it keeps saying detecting and nothing happens, I've left it like that for more than an hour!
I'm just wondering why it was working before and not anymore? Any suggestion or ideas are more than welcome! Are any program trying to block the COM1? If so, how do I get rid of them or free the COM1? I'm stuck...
Thanks.
Try to deactivate the beam of IR port.
Or take a look if the Activesync doesn't use the com port.
It you're using a IR external Keyboard deactivate it...
Bye, M.
Re: COM Problem
Sir,
You are a king!!! Just saved me from blowing up yet another fantantic PDA!!! I don't know how to thank you, it was the IR port occupying the COM and it is working great now after I disabled it!!! Just a small question for you, is it possible to fix my old PDA which I totally messed up because of re-setting etc etc.? I have the problem posted on:

Thanks in advance.

tv tuner
Is it possible to use mda2 as a monitor to watch tv out of home, connecting it to an usb-tv tuner?
Re:
I doubt it since the USB-TV Tuner would require a USB port for a connect through and I do not know of PDA which have that, but then I may be wrong....

Hi thanks a lot for the link but I try to change com port 7 in 8 by an hex editor but when I run TT5 the port number come back in 7 and don't find any GPS receiver.
I don't know to do more..
Resolved..thankx a lot...
TT5.21 goes!!!..This morning I'm using it but after half an hour the program hang up..
May be the batery level too low?
Hi all, nothing to do, TT5.21 sometimes hang up.
I'll try to use MDA PRO with external power.
Anyone has similar issues?
Bye..
I am trying to pair my Droid 2 with my Gtab to use as a GPS. When pairing via bluetooth, everything goes fine but once the pairing is successful there is no connection, only paired but not connected. Rebooting does not help and when I long press on either device there is no option to connect, only unpair. I am running VEGAn beta 3 on the Gtab. Anyone know of a solution??
please see
I had the same issue (althoug it was with a HTC). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874401 <--hope this helps
Thats normal. Whether I pair my tab with my phone or my bluetooth GPS device, the bluetooth settings shows Paired but not connected. I go into my "Bluetooth GPS" app to initiate the connection. When using my phone "ShareGPS" has to be setup and running.
Thanks for the quick reply guys....I'll try it out on the way home tonight to see if all is indeed working as it should.
Hi there
I have an "issue" on my device.
I'm on marshmallow (yep I know.. but) ^^
On first attempt to connect to any BT-device the connection will be unsuccessfull, the second one will work as intended. That wouldn't be a problem is the system would try to connect to ALL my listed BT devices, one after the other one.
I develop BT speakers as hobby. I have about 15 BT devices listed.. you can imagine the frustration I have when I have to wait 5-10min that he succeed to come back to the first one I tried to connect -.-'
Does anyone knows how I can force connect to one specific device? I feel pretty stupid, but I didn't found any settings for my BT
Grüß,
H.
