Hi all, I just got the 750 a couple of weeks ago, and while I think it is one of the best tools I have used, I am having a bit of a problem with it and I am hoping one of you guys might be able to help out. I bought Tomtom Navigator six with the Tomtom BT receiver, I installed it and everything worked fine for 3 or 4 days. Then all of a sudden it stopped working??? I can pair the BT receiver with the 750 no problem, but when opening the navigator software, all I get is "NO GPS Device!"
I have tried reinstalling, soft reset and played with some of the com ports but I just can't get it to work. It is driving me absolutely insane!!! Does anyone have a step through guide on how to get them to pair correctly?
If you do I would very much appreciate it, thanks in advance

Stupid question
Stupid question, but is the phone on? Or does TomTom say "flight mode"?
While traveling, and having my phone off (i.e. flight mode) TomTom wouldn't work and it was driving me crazy. Later I realized that for some reason, TomTom doesn't work if it's in flight mode... strange. I don't use the TomTom BT receiver tho...

Hey everyone
I wonder if someone can help.
Having recently got my XDA11i and managed to pair my Sony Ericcson Bluetooth headset sucessfully. I thought i would go the whole nice yards and get myself sat navigation for the car.
Having now got the tom tom reciever and again sucessfully pairing it to my XDA11i using the tom tom set up wizard, my sony ericcson headset now refuses to connect to my xda.
can anybody help as I am really at a loss as to what I can try to solve this problem.
upgrade BT
Hi, you need to upgrade your BT version to build 3900.
It worked on my M2000

Thanks for That
Thanks for the advice Rayman. i have downloaded the patch you suggest however i dont know how to install it on my xda. if you could pleaase help i would be most grateful
Surely it's a case of sticking it on your phone and then, on your phone, tapping on the cab file?
On this topic...
I've historically had problems with Tomtom running and getting a call, both on XDA2 and now XDA2i. Normally what happens is that the call bubble appears but none of the "buttons" on the bubble work, and then TT crashed.
HOWEVER
I was on my way home the other day and for a laugh I turned on TT to tell me the way to go . I got a call from my girlfriend and so I flipped the boom on my Motorola HS810 and waited for it to pair up, then answered the call. It worked, and better yet, when I hung up the call TT hadn't frozen! Made my night, but then I live a sad life

I had this very same problem.
Downloading and installing the latest Tom Tom GPS update solved it.
Also, check that you dont have a port conflict (this is what Tom Tom told me to do).

Hi Guys
Before you go and spend your money on tom tom 5, if you have an xda2i it's not compatible and tom tom won't supoort it. I've only found this out after buying the tt5 upgrade.
I can't get it to see the gps device on outgoing com port 6 on my xda2i.
Got a Fortuna Clip On BT GPS
Lost all the will to live with this now, feel like selling my xda2i.
Any help before it goes on ebay?
thanks

Just got TomTom 5 for my XDA IIi as well. I've got the wired TT GPS receiver and all I get is no GPS device. I've set TT to the right receiver type but can't see anyway of changing the com port to use.
Any ideas? or like you am I screwed
I have an xda2i with TT5 and BT GPS receiver...works fine.
Or at least as good as with TT3. TT5 seems to turn off BT once it's been closed though, bit annoying.
Didn't have any problems with installing it though.

Which BT GPS Receiver are you using?
Can you go through which settings in TT5 did u use, what's your outgoing com port etc.
Thanks
jase

Hi Goldenhands
I'll give it a go.
Thanks
I've tried this and it doesn't work.
Bluetooth app locks my outgoing com port to port 6. Does this need to be changed?
Thanks

untick recieve all incoming beams under connections
It was already unticked mate.
I have a QTEK 9090 with a BT antenna from TT3.
I simply installed TT5 over TT3 and everything worked right away.
Only problem is that in many screens, the onscreen keyboard is missing so I have to use the slideout keyboard. I expect them to fix that but it's really not that big a problem.
you have an xda2-s?
tom tom 5 is compatible with that but the xda2i isn't according to tom tom.
I am running Tom Tom 5 with the GreatBritain-Map on and XDA 2i with an "Aktronix" Bluetooth GPS reciever and it works absolutly with no problems whatsoever
My GPS reciever isnt paired and uses COM 6:
Tom Tom turns the bluetooth on by itself so my bluetooth is set to off usually.
I dont have a bluetooth headset.
Hi Danny
You saying that you didn't pair your gps receiver in with your xda2i first in the bluetooth manager?
Thanks
tomtom5 and xda2i
Have aked tomtom if it is a problem ,since have ordered upgrade,will let you know the response!

TOMTOM 5 Might be able to help you out IMPORTANT
Hi Guys & Gals!.. right might be able to help here... ive got a magician and I got tomtom 5 on saturday... I have the original bluetooth TOMTOM GPS and I had Tomtom 3 on the pda, I uninstalled tomtom 3 and then installed tomtom 5.. and it connected to the bluetooth reciever. Then I went off thinking it would work and it didnt connect (no GPS found), so I reintstalled again did all the bonding int bluetooth manager, and it still didnt work... so I did a hard reset which was a pain but then reinstalled tomtom 5 again.... went to work and it still didnt work so I was in the car messing about trying to get it to bond and did it all again and it didnt work!...
So just got to work (HERES THE IMPORTANT BIT) and went up to my mate whos a techie currently building the largest Oracle solution in the world) and said look this blinking things not working.. so he started proding the screen with the pen all over the place mumbling as he does and hey presto the screen was in the GPS status screen were it shows all the satelite data and he touched the bit thats says NO GPS device (its not a box its just the text) and it then came up to reset the device to finish installation and hey presto it worked!!!!! ....
SO try this if it works the bloke is a genius !....and TOMTOM have a serious floor in there software.
Post on here your findings :lol: I keep checking it every 5 mins to see if its connecting and it is fine now.. SO FAR!
Having said that
Having said what ive just said... ive just turned it on and its now doing it again and not finding the module... dont believe it! it seems very wierd... let me know your thoughts please!
Having said that again.. ive now changed to a wired one in the configuration and selected it then gone back to the bluetooth one waited 60 seconds and clicked on the no gps device again which has reset the device and its working again! wierd.......!
Since v1.60c my bluetooth second binding/connection is distorted.
In the car, first my TomTom gps binds and connect perfect and then my carkit Parrot 3100 binds and connect perfect. But when i make a phonecall, the line is very distorted. Some buzz is on the line.
And if i change the sequence, by first binding the carkit, and after that trying to bind the TomTom gps. The gps will not bind at all.
The last version that worked correct was the version 1.60c
Somebody with the same experience?
PS. is it possible to extract the Bluetooth files from the v1.60c version and save on the latest versions?
Gps & Parrot Together With Wm2k5 : Bluetooth Incompatibility ??
Same happens to me.
I'm experiencing this problem since I upgraded from WM2003SE.
Every WM2K5 ROM I've tryied does the same.
If once gps and parrot both are binded, you go to bluetooth settings/devices/and you disable hands free service, wait for few seconds and enable it again, then the parrot should work with no trouble.
It's the only that works to me...I have to do it every time I get in my car.
If somebody has the solution I would apreciate.
FRANCESC
Yes, it works for me too. But it isn't a beautiful way to connect!
Somebody know what this could be?
hi
could the both of you with the parrot 3100 please tell me:
.) does it sync the phonebook with pda's contacts?
.) does it show the name of the incoming call?
.) does it show mobile providers net status (=strenght)
if not: have you tried www.jetwaremobile.com ? does it work with that "enhancement"?
thanks!
regards ize|man
I will try!
Thanks for this information, I'll try.

Not working for me!
I think that I'm suffering with the same problem. I used to use a Nokia CK-1W for hands free and a iBlue BT GPS with Tomtom6 on my Jasjam/Dopod/Hermes and had no problems whatsoever. I've just changed the car and have fitted a Parrot CK3100 (FW 1.6C) and I can no longer connect to hands free and the GPS at the same time.
If I bind to the GPS first everything is fine until I attempt to pair with the Parrot. Upon pairing synchronisation starts and then for some reason the bloody thing starts to make a call!!! The phone doesn't recognise that it's calling, it's just the kit doing it. Once paired and synched the GPS connection is killed.
If I bind to the Parrot first I have no bizarre calling issues but I am unable to locate the GPS device.
What the hell? Have I bought a turkey?
Anyone with a suggestion as to how to fix it?

so. none of these three questions is answered with YES? does it work out-of-the-box?
so if i get you right: there is no way to sync my contacts with the 3100?
thanks ize|man
I mean it's not solving my problem
Didn't solve mine either. In fact, it made it worse! I still have all the connection problems but in addition, the battery meter no longer shows on the Parrot. Uninstalling jetware returned the meter.
Hi all
First post here so apologies if this has already been asked and answered...I haven't been able to find it.
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit 1 for an O2 Orbit 2 to gain the remote sim access profile (rsap) that my VW Passat's hands-free system needs.
I also have Tom Tom Navigator on my Orbit 2.
Here's the question:
when my phone's paired with the car, I have no problems making or taking calls but when I switch on the Sat Nav, while the connection between the handset and the car doesn't appear to be lost, the phone signal is.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
John
Hi Guys,
I've got the same problem with my Artemis an the blutooth premium of my golf.
The pairing with the phone is lost when i switch on tomtom.
Did you find a solution ?
Same problem as Lolo and did not find any solution until now.
Use McGuider
As far as the problem comes from tomtom and not from the GPS usage, we can use other navigation software like McGuider. I have tested, and it works fine.
I asked tomtom about this problem but no matter the problem is within their software. They did not want to know anything about it because their sofware continues working (is the rsap who goes down).
Hello all,
I recently purchased the TD2 and I encounter a problem with its BT SAP functionality with my car (VW).
It connects and works ok, but when I turn the ignition off, remove the key and the phone disconnects from the car, it doesn't reconnect to the GSM provider again. I have to go to Settings/Communications and turn the phone off and then on again in order to reconnect.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue?
HTC support told me that it seems the car BT is not releasing the SIM card properly. The thing is that my old prophet with a cooked WM6.1 rom (don't remember which one right now), worked fine, without any similar problem.
Any ideas?
TIA.
PS. Ooops, sorry, think I posted on the wrong topic.
