solution that works
Hi,
I've found this article on another forum. I have tried it and it works !!!
1 To sync with BT first delete all your pairing with your computer and phone on both devices.
2 Go to BT Manager on your phone and click both check boxes for Inbound and Outbound COM ports and pair the devices.
3 Once they are paired go to BT manager (on the phone) again and click on the start button (for BT ActiveSync setup) and pair the devices again if you have to.
4 Once that is done make sure that on the computer in BT Settings the the Serial Port Profile (SPP) "Serial Port COM4" is checked.Click on the phone device>property>services.
5 After that on the computer's BT Manager itself ensure that the COM ports folder shows incoming and outgoing ports with the phone's name in front.
6 Open ActiveSync (on the computer) ensure that the COM port no. is the same as the Incoming COM port no. given in step 5 above and it being shown as available. Sometimes if it is unavailable, the computer needs to be rebooted and then it will be shown as available.
7 Click on ActiveSync thru BT on the phone and it should work.
8 Whenever you wanna disconnect ActiveSync press stop on the compouter to disconnect.
Hi,

I just installed tomtom version 5 on my MDA Vario but I can't seem to get the tomtom to recognise the bluetooth receiver.
Can someone tell me a simple solution please where I don't need to edit anything.
I need a DUMMIES guide!
I would really be greatful if someone could upload the prog. or software that would solve the problem + clear instructions.
Thank You
Hi
I am using XDA II , I think tomtom setting is same. after installing tomtom you need to pair the phone with reciever. Once paired goto settings, system,bluetooth settings.
Make sure you have 'ticks' place in 'Bluetooth Serial Port settings'
Inbound Com port : Com4 ( activate by placing tick )
Outbound Com port : Com5 ( activate by placing tick )
thats all the setting for bluetooth you need on the phone.
Start tomtom and goto 'Change Prefereance' and then Show GPS status.
in there you can select your reciever type and then in configuration menu select com5, it should pick some sattelites. on mine it takes a little while to pick the signal.
On the tomtom gps connection menu BT is listed as Com 6 (it is on mine) but that is incorrect, so you need to select Com5. I tried both com4 and com5 and it worked, so tried both com ports.
I hope you can understand what i am waffeling on about .

I have a bluetooth GPS reciever and i want to connect it on COM port 9 but in the bluetooth settings it only allows me to use 6 or 7, does anyone know how to change this?
Im using the HTC Vox if that makes a difference?
Thanks
When you say "Bluetooth settings" are you referring to the settings in the GPS software (TomTom, Garmin etc) or are you referring to the bluetooth settings in your phone settings?
When you first pair your device with the external bluetooth device, you need to set up and outgoing port (COM5 on a Himalaya, not sure what Vox would use) and also go to the advanced bluetooth settings and chose "serial connection". The com port should then appear in your GPS software bluetooth selection choices.
Let us know if this helps.
Ports :S
Thanks Jadel for the reply, i was referring to the bluetooth settings in the phone not gps software. i have paired it and and selected serial port and then it gives me a selection of ports to use: 6 or 7, but i already have things connecting to those ports and want to select another one to use? Any ideas?

the guide may not be using the latests wm version but still it should
give you a clear picture as to where on the PC you handle the activesync comports
rather then on the pda which dont use comports for activesync at all
Hello,
I currently have tomtom navigator 5 running on an XDA IIs via a bluetooth GPS device on windows mobile 6.
When I want to run tomtom, i use the quick link to "FTECH-SPP" (the bluetooth gps device) once this is done, I then have to select "com ports" > "new outgoing port", select the device, next, then select com port 0 and finish. I can then run tomtom.
My question is, how can automate the whole bluetooth stage to a script I can execute in one touch?
Any advice is welcome!
Cheers

Surely cant you just go into the bluetooth settings, tap on your GPS device, tick the box for a bluetooth serial port service. Go back into bluetooth settings and select the com ports tab, set the com port there. It should be set permenantly to that port now.
In settings in WM6 go into "external GPS" and setup the software ports for it.
Tomtom should use the port you selected when you first ran it.
I want it to automatically assign com0 as the outgoing port every time it syncs with the gps device, which I manually have to do everytime it syncs.
so i just got the new 1005ha asus netbook today and spent the day setting it up as well as the bluetooth to the fuze. i got it to work with my stereo headset as well as to use data over bluetooth for internet
but i cant seem to make it sync up through activesync for file sharing
any help?
ive had the computer setup a port and told the phone to search in activesync and it doesnt find the com port just the same services each time
OK, sorry if you already did all this, its not 100% clear from your posts:
Create a new incoming port on the PC in bluetooth properties. (exactly where this is may vary - on my win xp its called "bluetooth devices" in control panel)
open active sync (on the pc). File / connection settings. check "allow connections to one of the following" <select the com port you just created>
make sure the pc is discoverable & phone bt is on
on the phone - open bluetooth settings and add a new device
select pc, pair, save etc
hopefully now the phone will see the pc, and activesync will now be available as a service
select sevice, save etc.
launch activesync on phone, and select "connect via bluetooth"
remember to disconnect when you're done! - it wont close the bt connection just because its finished its sync
