I have an email from O2 saying they are aware of the issues with blue tooth headsets
The Email started by saying the BT200 is approved for the XDA2
I then sent a email asking for an approval cert stating this is the case.
I know all Blue tooth headset are not compatable with XDA2
I have tested 5 manufactures and they all do the same thing
If the bluetooth headset is used when phone is on a desk the coverage is quite good.
Problem Is when you put the XDA2 in your pocket the coverage is crap it sound like a old fm radio station and you get poor audio quality both ways incoming and outgoing.
I will paste a copy of email from O2 below
Anybody else had any problems like this??
===============================================
Thank you for your email and apologies for the inconveniences you are experiencing.
This is indeed something we are aware of, and we too believe it is a problem with the device itself. We are currently liasing with the XDA manufacturers to try and resolve these issues, but I hope you can appreciate something like this is not going to be a quick fix.
I'm not sure if it will resolve the actual issues you are facing, but we are also releasing a ROM upgrade for the XDA II in feb/March (from www.my-xda.com) which should greatly improve the Bluetooth facility, which also includes scope for the handsfree functionality.
I appreciate that this is not the answer you were hoping for, but we are working to resolve these issues.
Kind regards
O2 Data Support

I have a SOny Ericsson HBH-35
The first one I bought wouldn't work at all with the XDAII - I though 'oh know', assuming it was the XDAII at fault.
I returned the headset - the shop tested it and found it to be faulty. Gave me a new one to try.
Works perfectly !
Bluetooth
Does it work in your back pocket ok
I tried one it did the same as the Bt200 but not as bad
Xda 2 bluetooth headset
HIIII
I have the Nokia HS-3W bluetooth headset for the Xda 2 and it works the treat....I have tried many other bluetooth headsets and this one is the best one by far. Hope this information will be helpful... :lol:
,Hi...1st time on this forum... I have just bought the new o2 xda 2i... having problems already with it.. awaiting my second replacement ..
I have sat nav maps installed but when using it,, the phone keeps locking up,, always having to soft reset... can anyone advise if this is a common problem with this model.. i want to be able to use the phone whilst using satnav..
cheers...
I also found that the drop down list for rom version and radio.. do not contain my phomes settings??
...strange, I just posted a similar problem.
Are you using TomTom Nav3? What happens with mine is that when I lose the phone signal, the whole device crashes.
tomtom prob's
Hi... yes I am... I saw your posting after I put mine on... exactly the same problem..the whole thing freezes up and has to be rebooted!! a pain!
I have just started my contract with o2 and phoned them.. they didnt recognise the problem and are sending me a new xda... again!..my third one in a month..but I'm not sure there is anything wrong with the phone/xda... I tried to switch the phone off and ran the mapping softwarare again... worked perfectly!! but no phone...It seemed that when the phone picked up its signal or a call the system locked up...dont kow how to get around it though... was hoping for some answers on this site...
cheers, Bill
This is a known problem with TomTom 3 - if you call tomtom, then will say they don't support AKU2 yet (TYPICAL!)
O2 know about as do TomTom.... i'm told that tomtom are fixing the problem.
:roll:
i doubt there will be a fix for this as ttv5 is due out in the next couple of months
seems a little strange as I'm using the Xda IIi with tomtom and have not experienced any problems
What version are you using T3.07T is the latest it is the traffic version but you do not have to enable it
still locking up...
Well.... tried new xda 2i...didnt load o2 stuff from start...re loaded tomtom navigator and eventually got the gps system to work thro' com port 1..( my last posting)... chose corporate setting as recommended ..using pin shown..(0506)... went out to try it before sending back my last ppc...still locks up....freezes,,apparently when phone picks up a fresh signal..presumably from local ariel?....sooooo frustrated. .. so still have to switch to flight mode to use navigator properly...
does anyone elsa have useful suggestions to fix this problem...please :?:
is it possible to get on this phone,i cant get it it on before i waste anymore time,does anyone know.
thanks and regards steve

Yes, but you will have to copy the TomTom supplied SD card to a mini-SD then all should be fine.
When I put the card in, the tomtom screen shows briefly then disappears. It doesn't appear to install. I'm running a TMobile MDA Vario - basically the same as an 02 XDA.
any ideas
regards stevo
I have tom tom 5 installed on my T mobile MDA Vario, using 2GB memory card and Holux GPSlim 236 GPS Receiver over bluetooth.
@andyfeild
what vertion,was it navigator 5,bluetooth navigator,mobile navigator or somthing else,would apriciate how you did mate,did you have any problems.
regards stevo
Hi
I upgraded my XDA II to WM2005 using this upgrade Hima_WM2005_3.35a.16-16-96.rar
Everything is working perfectly except Route 66 navigator 7. It works for about 5 minutes and then the XDA soft resets. This happens whether I have my bluetooth GPS reciever turned on or not.
Anyone any idea what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.
Michael
Has anyone else had any problems with the above, currently using L26 WM 6.1 Proffesional. But TomTom taking ages to find GPS with Window 6 more less straight away. I have updated QuickGPS, just dont seem to be finding my GPS location. Any advice would be appreciated!

Just tried mine with TT6 and the same ROM as you and have the same problem.
No issues with the L26 WM6.1 ROM and TT6 over here. They work fine together with a fast fix.

Is there any chance you can share this quick fix?
I use dutty's WM 6.1 ROM for 2 weeks now. And in the 2 weeks I used TomTom for 4 days and it worked 100%

lol, when sanderjohan said fast fix, i think he meant it picks up his position quickly, not using some trick or something like that
I'm having the same problem, Tomtom and iGO have no problem initializing the GPS, but it can never determine where I'm at.
I changed Radio Version from 1.64.08.21 to 1.64.06.04 and the GPS issue has been resolved it takes less time to find fast fix. Plus theres no loss in signal on Orange UK, so problem solved
ill give it a shot thanks
Didn't fix anything, still takes forever to lock on.....that's even IF it locks on
It worked for me, even got GPS signal inside.
Which TomTom Version you using?

Is you tomtom setup to use the internal antenna setting, as I had the same problem but when I changed to "other NMEA" setting and set baud rate to 1900 and com port4 it is working great.....

Gave up on this rom (sleuth 6.1) untill fix comes out? and installed udK 7.0 R1 Vega now tom tom locks within few secs! so must be something with the old rom?
Running Sleuth's 6.1 for a week and a half now with no trouble. Try a soft-reset followed by an IMMEDIATE Quick GPS download before loading Tomtom. Make sure that it actually DOES download. The one issue that I'm having with this rom is that some 3rd party apps don't always trigger a GPRS connection. When it's being cranky, the Quick GPS update just immediately acts like it's finished without ever actually doing anything. I get around this be triggering a connection 1st w/ PIE and then waiting a sec for traffic to flow then launch Quick GPS and watch to make sure it really does do it's download. I was having the EXACT same issue as your guys before working this out.
SLow GPS
To be honest, I believe the built in GPS Reciever is both slow and poor, compared to even one of the cheapest full-blooded GPS devices out there.
Not that I expected much more, but when it takes my TyTN II 2 hours to find my location while driving from Oslo(Norways capitol) towards Sweden in a car, then there's something wrong.
I set the location, put the phone on the dashboard, and waited. After two hours it said: "Take a right". Yay, the right I was taking was the last few meters on my trip.
"You have now reached your destination"
I applauded, turned of TomTom, and has never started the application again.
What a waste
I'm using Schap's v4.40 with the original orange radio and TomTom locks on with 10 seconds.
I noticed that if you live in an area with large buildings around, your gps signal won't be good and it'll take a longer time to pick up a signal. Usually the first time running, your gps will take a while. I also notice that inside a building, you are going to have a harder time picking up gps. If you are in an open field for more than 2 minutes trying to pick up gps, then I think you have a problem. Be sure to consider all these things before saying gps doesn't work with the rom.
Just to note: some radios pick up gps a lot faster than others. You can experiment.
