O2 XDA II PDA + GPS

I am thinking of buying a O2 XDA II PDA, I notice there is a problem with Bluetooth gps units, can anyone tell me if there is a problem with cable gps units?? If not can you recomend which gps unit to buy?
Cheers
Nick

read that tomtom2 bluetooth dont work they are making an software upgrade so it does these days
here tomtom2 is officialy an accessories for qtek
so i asume that the wire version is ok working and it's quality is high enough since qtek does that

is the xda 1 connector the same as the XDA II, connector ??

I have the TomTom Navigator II and the XDA (1) car kit. Can any one please confirm if the old cable will fit the new XDA II ?
Second quick question...How the hell do you get the TomTom software working with the XDA II, is it just the case of installing it or do I need to change comm ports, turn stuff off etc etc???
Thanks

Yes the original XDA-Navigator works with the same cable GPS on the XDA2.
The only problem I found is that it could not read the map with a Sandisk 256mb SD card.
I tried it with a Lexar 128mb SD card and it works fine.
The TomTom FAQ site says that some Ipaq's had this problem, it was later sorted by Compaq.

On the XDA 1, you had to make sure that beams were turned off in settings/connections otherwise Com 1 wasnt available to Tomtom and would not work, giving error message "com 1 not available"

HTC P3400 Rom on Prophet

Hello everyone!
This question may sound a little awkward but is it possible to install the HTC Gene (P3400) ROM on a Prophet?
I'm asking this because I read that the P3400's hardware is pretty much the same as S200.
Thanks in advance!

It will doen't work!
Little example:
The HTC Orbit has nearly the same technical aspects as the HTC Prophet but you can't flash a Orbit ROM onto Prophet!

in case you don't know you can install Wizard ROMs on a Prophet i've done it myself, it just doesn't mean it will work well
never heard about htc orbit, but if you're talking about htc Artemis (xda orbit), it doesn't have the same hardware as the prophet: it has gps and fm radio and the prophet doesn't, for example. not to talk about the flash chips and stuff...!

Maybe or maybe not...
Hardware sound similar, but on p3400 no wifi hardware for example...
So might be possible to install, but some stuff will never work.

Wm6 10.0.15342.0
So could we make it with WIZARD's Wm6 10.0.15342.0 ? People having this device is really enthusiastic about this new brand ROm coming straight from Microsoft.
As soon as i get some free time i am gonna work on it.

i think it can work,but D600 look like dopod c858 or M700, but who can fix the rom for D600?

what to buy?

I currently have an eten m700 which I am very satisfied of, but the one thing that bugs me is the battery which is very weak and I`m getting kinda tired of it. I want to buy another pda or smartphone ( i also had a look at the blackberry bold) and I want a few suggestions. I want it to have phone, gps( i use igo a lot) wifi, BT, a good camera. Do you know what countries do the iphone maps or the blackberry maps have on their new terminals? And can these maps be used like i use igo.. ? thank you.

After owning a lot of Windows Mobile devices (Qtek 9100, Qtek S200 TyTn and Tytn II, Samsung SGH i600 and Samsung SGH i780 and Diamond Touch to name a few of them) I tried a Nokia E71 and wow what a smartphone - so stable and quick and the battery lasts for days. I don´t even miss the touchscreen. The camera is not very good, but at least as good on any camera in a Windows Mobile device except the Samsung Omina. So I can recommend it with all of my heart - will not be going back to Windows Mobile devices after using the Nokia for some weeks

is the gps usable on e71? i mean can i use it like igo on WM? and for what countries does it have maps?

Connecting HTC s740 to BMW Bluetooth Carkit

I have a 2004 BMW 3series with an integrated bluetooth carkit. Unfortunately I cannot get the connection with my HTC s740 working. The phone recognizes the car and connects. But not vice versa. The dealer thinks the software in the HTC is too advanced. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can I downgrade the bluetooth software of the phone? In my former car I had a Parrot which worked perfectly with the HTC. Unfortunately I sold the Parrot with the car.
Thanks for helping me out!

What rom are you using?
I have an issue with my HD and TOuch Cruise on 6.1, although using 6.5 on my Cruise works fine??
It is reported that cooked 6.1 roms dont like connecting to car bluetooth kits.
Im still looking for a solution to this, probably to do with bluetooth stack/drivers.

bluetooth problems HTC s740 to BMW
If you mean the ROM of my HTC, it is. 5.2(.20279.20279). It is a 2008 smartphone.
Do I need to upgrade the phone?

lol is that a cooked rom or stock? if cooked, see this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519676
I know its not much help, but you will appreciate that things are happening.

To be honest; I have no idea what you mean. What is the difference, and how I am I about to know. I didn't change anything on the phone, after buying it........

Hey bro,
If you have no idea what rom you are using, u will be using stock rom.
Stock = offical HTC rome included with device.
Cooked = another/different rom, not originally intended for use on ur device, or provided by HTC. A cooked rom has been "altered" to work on ur device. They work better and faster and provide more functionality than stock roms.............
It would appear that bluetooth is a problem with all 6.1 roms (cooked or stock!!)
ok, time to complain to HTC (for what good it wil make)
I may merge these threads into one, as they are related.
