Had to send my early XDA11 back to O2 for repair and it came back empty and they upgraded the ROM(?) Re-installed Tom tom loads so slowly its unusable. Memory map navigator loads ok but takes 5 seconds to react to a screentap. Also, it can bond with Holux bluetooth GPS but cant see it in Tom tom wizard. It all worked fine before they got their hands on it.
This sounds to me like you have the wrong com port chosen for your gps. Remove bonds for any bluetooth, reset, then rebond the gps, it should ask if you wish to use the serial profile for the device, answer yes to this. I think gps should then be on com5.
Thanks for your help
Thanks for that. When I get to select serial profile I only get Com 7 offered. Com7 is not offered in Tom tom GPS setup. Previously I had "Holux on Com4" as a choice. I have no Bluetooth manager program as on the Ipaq but I have loaded BTHTools1100 from April04. Can I check Com port status somehow? Maybe old stuff is assigned to the serial port I need?
We have lift-off!
Unticked Com 4 as incoming Bluetooth port in Bluetooth settings. Now have "Hollux 230 on Com 7" as an option in tom tom GPS setup.
KeithR: IF your on ROM version 1.72 now, you better skip the BTH Tools.
Un-install them or do a hard-reset (yes, once more).
Just bond the GPS, select YES to create a com port.
The GPS will then communicate thru COM5
Assign COM5 in TomTom (and one of the NMEA protocols).
It will work then as expected.
BUT: Since you have a Holux GPS you miight encounbter the same slowness when starting TomTom and the GPS is not 'connected'(ie off or out-of-reach). This is an issue specifically for the combination Himalaya (or MS BT Stackin the ROM) and (some?) Holux and D-Connex BT GPS's.
It seems that this last issue is solved in WM2003 SE, but that seems less stable to me . . .
Thanks all
Now its running ok I'm going to leave it alone. (I doubt.) I'm tempted to get an XDAIIs to use with broadband and VPN at home but the MDAIII seems much cheaper. Thanks again, I'll check this site for info on it.
I need serious help. I have tomtom 5 installed and using a blue tooth gps. I have bluetooth tools installed aswell but my bluetooth connection keeps craching from time to time.. Does anybody know why this happens and what to do. Sometime it even freez. Please help me aout
tomtom problems
Then you have done something wrong,
in the first place: "DO NOT" install bluetooth tools but just install tomtom 5
and go to prefferences- / gps settings/ then choose other bluetooth cable and set the com port to "5"
this works!
if it does not, you have bad software and i reccomend you to install a better rom before using tomtom
greetz: jazz
Hmmm?
Inbound com port: com4
outbound com port: com5
I cant change them?!?
Which one do i set as com port on the set up for the bluetooth on the tomtom program?? 4 or 5
sorry for asking but what is ROM, i'm so new at this!!! :roll:
Hi guys, Iam having the same problem my friend by mistake deleated tomtom5 and I've been trying for 1 day to get the MDA to find the right bluetooth com ports for Tomtom5. tried everything. Next thing is a hard reset and start from scratch I think. must be an easyer way

I have Tomtom 5 working, This time I hard reset my MDA compact and reloaded only the basic Microsoft active zinc manager no exta programs and then loaded Tomtom 5 / paired the bluetooth GPS and it worked straight away. I think the extra softwear tools that come with my MDA compact blocked the blue tooth comports
Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there will be kind enough to help and solve this problem before I rip all my hair out!!!
I've installed tomtom (V5.00) on my mda pro, but I can't get it to recognise my bluetooth gps receiver.
I've set up a bluetooth partnership with an outgoing COM port. My MDA allows me to choose COM0 ,COM4,COM8
When I select other Bluetooth device from Tom Tom configuration, it gives me the options:
QCT Data Interface
Serial Cable on COM1
COM7
RIL on COM6
Infrared Port
Ir on COM3
I can't seem to align the software and the bluetooth to get it working correctly. Please help
Update your application to at least version 5,21 to get this working, have a look at http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&FID=3361 for the software - Mike
Apart from the 5.21 and above (current is 6.03) software requirement, many users also have to set a COM port your MDA offers you (i.e. COM0) manually in the navigator.cfg (or was it .dat, don´t remember,try) file where the COM is stored that TT is using. Just change to navigator.txt, edit and change back to .cfg Good luck.
Hi Guys,
I've used a search but can't find anything related to my current problem. I upgraded my Tytn to WM6 and reloaded Tomtom but it doesn't connect to the GPS. I'm sure it's about coms ports but I haven't sussed it out yet, anyone know the settings? Also, any links to a user guide / explanation of the GPS manager in WM6 would be useful too.
Incidentally, I had to force Tomtom onto my Tytn with MW5 because the nice, unhelpful people at Tomtom simply stated it doesn't work with that model. It does, you just have to load the cabs to the storage card and run them from there whilst manually copying the voices to the device Tomtom folder. It worked fine though....
What gps receiver do you have?
Hi guys,
Recently I bought Imate 8502. Everything works fine. I have installed tomtom 6.01 for wm6 (which works fine on my other htc p3600i)
Now problem in in Imate 8502 when i go in to the settings>External GPS>Hardware... it shows me "gps Hardware port "(none)". If I select any port and press ok and open it again, again it shows "(none)" in gps hardware port. So whts wrong with that.
Also tomtom is not working in Imate 8502. in tomtom software setting doesn't show gps port.(like in htc p3600i gps settings shows that gps in com9). I tried too much to solve this problem but got failure and failure. So I am asking help from any expert here.
Please help me.. I want to run GPS software in Imate 8502
Thanks in advance
1. u need to turn on gps manually
2. u need GPSgate
Thanks
Thanks netnerd,
well i turned it on manually as well but same things happens ?
by the way how does gpsgate will help in this problem? I have no idea of this software.. Though i have downloaded demo but I am not getting this software
thanks bro !!
waiting for your reply
tomtom cant see your build-in gps port
GPSgate will make a virtual gps comm port that gps programs able to see
Need Some knowledge
Dear Chintak i also have an 8502 but still serching for upgrade as u said u upgraded it with tomtom it realy works and how is the procedure to upgrade
will appriciate help .
hi ayesha,
I didn't upgraded anything in imate, I just installed tomtom for ppc.
but tomtom can't read gps port so m looking for another option
OK - hope this helps some....
I have the I-mate 8502, and TomTom 6 running fine.
Things I did:
- Installed TomTom...
- Went to Wireless Manager and enabled GPS. These are my GPS settings by tab (can get to them via Wireless Manager):
>Programs: GPS program port - COM9 (default setting
>Hardware: No GPS port specifed (not needed) and baud rate 4800 (again not needed) - these are default settings
>Access: Manage GPS automatically is checked (again default)
The only setup in TomTom was to set the GPS device to the IMEA option.
TomTom should see the device, but display a message that no gps satellites found or it searching. It usually takes a couple of minutes for the GPS to pass through satellite information to TomTom first time but it then works great.
Running the Telstra WM6 Rom
I followed Rathalian's instructions and it worked perfectly for me too.
I did have to select COM9 as the COM Port of the GPS device in Tom Tom Configuration.
I am also using a Telstra WM6 ROM.
Thanks everybody its working now thank you very much everyone
i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?
Good afternoon, folks
I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.
As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking:
is anybody willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.
Warm regards,
Manuel
