hi, if you want to replace Bluetooth stack try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18537
there is an easy guide how to do it, and where to get it.

thanks, checking it out now.

tried with my O2 Xda II mini
but still failed to listen to MP3 using bluetooth :-(

Hi All,
Unlike the T-Mobile MDA Compact, does the Vodafone VPA Compact a Widcomm BT stack? Anybody tried?

Greetings Ben...

So if this information is correct we need a VPA Compact rom. Anyone?

Ok, well if that .pdf file is correct, harrah! However, Expansys have listed the VPA Compact as a discontinued item. I can't find a single store that sells it, so maybe it's over before it began!!

After a quick search there is no ROM is availabe over the internet. The hope is the dumping. But my knowledge is this phone is sold only in Germany. Not sure!!!!

Thanx to Google:

It is a German ROM 1.12, coming from Vodadafone.
Greetings Ben...

OK, well does anyone have the ability to extract the stack and find out whether it's widcomm or MS? I certainly don't!
I've done a google translate of this page and it doesn't mention anywhere about which phone it's for. I'm guessing you selected this on the previous page?
And what's with the constant reference to blackberry? Has vodafone acquired blackberry software now?
Makes me want to just install the rom and find out, but I can't read much german!

The link to Blackberry is that exchange between VDA Compact & Blackbeery needs the VDA Compact rom 1.12 upgrade.

You're better off posting that one in the bluesoile thread, dude. You'll get more help there.
Berkens.. Ok cool, so it is the rom.. (just worked out you need to click on the link that says "heir" to see the ROM), but how do we find out which bits we need? Can Buzz or anyone with ROM experience tell me whether there's any substance to this?

Hi,
I updated my T-Mobile MDAc with this and it's similar to the T-Mobile update, no new BT-Stack, just Vodafone branding

Bugger! Oh well, got our hopes up for a bit!

How would one be able to tell if it is the MS stack or Widcomm one?
I've not seen the Widcomm stack running on a PPC yet- so wouldn't know.
I'm sure like most here, the interest is whether you can get the A2DP profile setup on the MDAc.
I'm sure this is 'easily' possible- just need some with the know how i guess...
EDIT: Just noticed the BT Stack for the VPAc is exactly the same as for MDAIII- so is this a mistake regarding the VPAc stack running Widcomm. Or is the difficulty in uninstalling the MS BT?

TomTom Navigator 5 Series

Hi all,
I am trying to work out how to install the TomTom Navigator 5 Series maps onto the Polaris. It does not seem to be going very well. I was using these maps with the jamin and tomtom5. Do I really need to buy new maps? I hope not as these work and are perfectly good. Please could someone enlighten me please?
Kind Regards,
Will

I guess the problem is that you have tomtom 6 on tc and want to use tomtom 5 maps. You could try installing them using tomtom home. Or you could try uninstalling tomtom 6 from the tc and installing tomtom5. if u have bought the software and maps, you could email tomtom customer services and explain the problem (i.e. that u cannot transfer the maps on ur new device), maybe they could be of help.
hope this is helpful

TT5 works fine on my Touch Cruise. You first have to remove TT6 from the device. Then, copy the 4 CABs to a temporary dir on your SD-card and run them. Install the cards you need on a temporary dir on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.
I copied the card dirs from another device. All settings and speed cams where copied to my TC.
I hope this brief explanation will help you.
Joop

Thanks Joop and Jackster....
I have had a reply from tomtom........(info for anyone else)
"Dear Mr Richardson,
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your PDA.
Navigator 5 maps are unfortunately not compatible with the software of Navigator 6.
You will have to use the maps provided with navigator or buy new maps.
Please check the compatibility of your device , you could do tis by going to our website under PDA/Mobile"
Its a ****** scam! At least Microsoft aren't that bad! "Here buy Nav 5, (XP) whoops you have upgraded to Nav 6 (Vista) none of your programs work, sorry you have to buy them again!!!!!!
Brilliant Thanks Tomtom for the support and great service! What other people sell navigational software? (Rhetorical Question, PLease do not reply!)

VDA GPS ft. Toshiba Portege G710

Hello,
I have been a week of the VDA GPS Vodafone, same device as Toshiba Portege G710
It is the standard Windows Mobile 6 installed, no touchscreen. (Smartphone)
It has a right trackball, there are also pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.de/greddy7/VodafoneVDAGPSAuchBekanntAlsToshibaPortegeG710
It has the same size as the HTC S620, has 260MHz, no WLAN, but GPS in it.
My questions now, because I have absolutely nothing could find on this device:
Which company is building the device? HTC builds not.
Which GPS chip was consumed?
Where a still another Rom for this device, or any support pages?
Thank you
Cheers

I'm also keeping an eye on the G710, especially because of the integrated GPS and the small keyboard. However, one thing makes me wonder:
Can I use any navigation application with the Portégé G710?
Although the Portégé G710 is GPS enabled, it is not possible to use any standard navigation software on the G710. Details on which navigation packages are compatible with the Portégé G710 will be available soon.

(Taken from the Toshiba site)
It would be nice to know whether TomTom or a similar offline navigation software would work. I cannot imagine that "it is not possible"

now my device is at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200211975316
This device is cheap, price and quality. I am now back to my htc s620!
Tomtom5: Screen black, the device is not stopped, but the screen is black. The same
with the core player: Screen black ...
Tomtom6: Screen not black, nice, but Tomtom detect no GPS Hardware
Route 66: works (but i can not live with this slow gps software !)
This device has many bugs ...
cheers

Could you check out any other navigation software such as Navigon?
By the way: I don't think somebody will pay 300€ on eBay, if you can get it for 230€ at Vodafone directly.

My Toshiba G710 was provided with Copilot Live 7. This software is very good.
I'm very happy with this phone, the Gps receiver is so fast even without a-gps !
Unfortunately, he have not WM6.1 and Toshiba says "it is not foreseen"

Touch Diamond2 TT Navigator7 compatibility??

Hi All
just upgraded (or should that be downgraded) to a TD2 but I cant get either version of TT 6 or 7 to install. In both cases it tells me the software/device are incompatible...
Device data WM 6.1 pro build 21042.1.6.1
processor MSM7200A - 528MHz
All assistance greatly appreciated as I want/need it for my hols startin Sat!!
Thanks
Pete

The only advice I can give as I don;t have mine yet is post on the TD2 forum... there are lots of TomTom threads there

TT7 7.45 cab works, TT6 works too - what are you doing as I had it running fine.

Hi
I had purchased v6 originally and it wasn't recognised by my PDA. I bought v7 and it told e that it was incompatible with the device as well as screwing up TT home. From that and searching in here I found a cab file for a version called 7.95 which works but only recognises maps of Spain and Pertugal which I had purchased through TT home prior to the upgrade.
It wont recognise either v7 or v6 maps of UK no matter what I try (no code works) I am told this is because TT7 is free but the maps cost and self install/authorise without the user needing to enter an authorisation code.
TT support told me that their support doesn't cover TD2 as they haven't tested it yet...therefore I'm stuck...

I know i'm going to get blasted about no warez slogans but if TomTom aren't going to support it for some time then i guess they don't deserve your money right now, warez it and then when it gets supported, you might want to consider buying it.
It's better than not having a gps on hand.

tom tom more maps
I installed tom tom and it works. i installed 1 map (western europa).. tehn i want to install another (center en eastern europa) but this did not work.. Can i install 2 maps on 1 device? or is this not possible?

Installing Tom Tom Navigator 7

I am going to Eastern Europe, so -as I understand it- I need to 'upgrade' (from TTN6) to TTN7 inorder to be able to purchase the E. Europe maps?
Can someone point me towards a TTN7 cab known to run on Touch Cruise and some clear installation instructions. Especially, advice on what I do with my existing TTN6 and (W. Europe) maps.
Thanks
