MDA2 and TomTom

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.

XDAII and Tom Tom Navigator

I have recently installed Tom Tom Navigator 3 on my XDAII but whenever the telephone software is switched on, i.e flight mode off, the thing crashes and needs re-booting very frequently and every time a call or text is received. I have updated the software for the XDAII and for Tom Tom but without success. The only way Tom Tom will work is with the flight mode on which means no calls. Has anybody else experienced this and found a solution.

I use an XDAII, TTN3 and a BT GPS daily without any issues. What GPS have you got and what SD Card?

Depends on what version of TTN3 you have. If you have a fully purchased one you will be able to download and install 3.07 which removes these kind of problems - 3.07 I believe specifically cures those issues.
If you have an....ahem...acquired....version of the program, you may experience problems. I also have a BT GPS but don't generally experience any probs apart from the old "showPOIequalslockups".
Cheers

XDA2i-Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS-Plantronics Bluetooth earpiece

Hi Guys
I have an XDA2i as follows:
Rom - 1.10.00 WWE
Radio 1.00.00
Protocol 1337.39
Extrom 1.10.124 WWE
When I install the bluetooth earpiece it works fine until I install the Tom Tom software when the bluetooth GPS works great but I get an error when I try to conect to the earpiece (connection failed or something like that). If I uninstall the Tom Tom the earpiece works again. I've tried a different earpiece and I get the same error.
In otherwords I cant get the tom tom bluetooth GPS and the bluetooth earpiece working at the same time or even just when tom tom is installed and not running.
Anyone know where I am going wrong here?

A quick update for you all...
Tom Tom customer suport finally answered my query and suggested that I might have a port conflict....well the GPS receiver is port 6 but I don;t know what port the earpiece uses and dont know how to find out...perhaps someone could let me know.
Anyway, I had a blunder about and finally downloaded the latest Tom Tom GPS update which after a few resets (4 or 5) seems to have resolved the problem.
One other slight problem, well inconvenience is that when I install tom tom I get duplicate and occasionally triplicate short cuts in the programs menu......Its no biggy cos I jus delete them via file manager still it would be nice to know why this happens
Anyone know?

WM2005 PROBLEMS with TOMTOM. **HELP PLEASE**

Hi,
I just upgraded my SPV M1000 from WM2003 to WM2005 (1.60c WWE version).
I've installed the tomtom software on my pda again but when I run tomtom the BACKLIGHT on the pda doesn't come on. The backlight stays off even when I exit tomtom.
Also, the video camera quality is poor compared to WM2003.
Are there any solutions?
Kind Regards

If you go to buzzdev.net there are instructions on how to edit your tomtom navigator exe file to correct the backlight problem using a hex-editor, and also an updated exe file to download if you don't want to diy. Not sure about the camera though, although I realised after I upgraded my XDA2 to WM2005 that the defualt resolution on the camera wasn't the highest, so it might just be something as simple as changing the resolution....

Himalaya 3.5 - TT6 - BT

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?????
