Acer C530 Woes - General Topics

I'm having one major problem that I've been unable to solve. Every so often the bluetooth stops working and the sound locks giving error=2. Bluetooth reports "failed to turn on due to insufficient memory". If I try to increase the volume it goes back to 0. The only solution is a full hardware reset. It's happens so often I've transferred all the cab's onto a separate sd card so I can reinstall the lot without a PC.
I have a feeling it is USB related as it seems when it's stuck into a port it can on occasion initiate the problem.
The only way I've managed to sort the issue was by upgrading the bluetooth to a newer version (broadcomm_bt_stack.CAB 1.7.6) via a hack found on one of this forum, however while the sound then works the bluetooth is off completely probably because registry settings are using the wrong port etc.
Here's a list of the PDA spec:
OS: 5.01, 20061016
ROM: 1.10.15
Firm: 3.0
Bootloader: v2.17
Bluetooth: Broadcom 1.7.1 Build 8700
I have attached the bluetooth registry values (before I try to update the stack).
Any ideas???

Bluetooth GPS works once before failing

I have just got a Wizard off ebay running WM6 which has TomTom6 installed. I have a generic bluetooth GPS receiver which works fine the first time I use it after pairing, but then as soon as the device is turned off via the softoff switch, it is not seen again. I have to remove the Bluetooth connection and port, then re-add it all. Once I repeat the process, it works find again until the next time it is turned off.
I have tried this with 2 different bluetooth gps units, both of which work fine for my friends so I suspect it is something wrong with either the Wizard or a setting somewhere.
I am new to all this so dont know what information I should post to help get advice but can provide any info you guys need.
Can anyone offer me and suggestions or pointers ?
after wake up, launch tomtom, but leave it for say 20 secs it should eventually pick it up, it just takes time
Hello,
I have the same problem.
GPS pairing + COM config OK.
Then I start TOMTOM 6 and all is working fine.
Now if I switch off my GPS, and leave Tomtom, then switch on my GPS and start TOMTOM, I have a message telling me my GPS wants to connect to my wizard. So I must redo the pairing (code 0000) + the com port configuration.
I have this problem since WM6 (I tried mUn, XPlore 1.0, 1.1, Core 2.0x, and now i'm with XM6).
No problem under WM5.
GPS is XLock256 (sold by Orange in France).
Anybody know what is happening ?
Thanks.
TomTom
Install TomTom, or if it's installed all is ok.
unpair your GPS unit.
Reset the GPS unit with the power button (normally by holding it)
Now Pair the GPS Device.
go to com Ports, and add a outgoing Port (Whatever port is available, me somehow I'm hooked to 7)
Now start TomTom
go to settings, GPS Config and choose other Bluetooth GPS (now wait)
Switch of and on again your GPS receiver, because it could be in a powersave mode, but still do it.
Choose your chosen port (me as said 7)
.......patience, now it should connect
Now it should be ok.
Play with it for a while, and close the app in it's specified way.
Now it should start as normal.
If you follow these instructions to the letter it works.
I don't see what I missed before, but apllying your procedure solved the problem.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Normally it's the Auto Powersave which causes the problems, 1 year ago it took me 6 weeks to figure this out.
I'm having the exact same problem since upgrading to WM6 and despite following these instructions numerous times, every time I relaunch TomTom I get a prompt asking if I want to pair my GPS. If I select no, I get prompetd about every 5 seconds until I select yes at which point my existing pairing is deleted and a new one created. This pairing then lasts for the current TomTom session but the cycle restarts all over again when I relaunch TomTom and turn on my GPS again.
WM5 was completely flawless with the way it handled my GPS connection so what is different that is causing this behaviour?

Followed your procedure, got the connection set. Thanks loads, I was tearing my hair out. lj

Problems Connecting to External Bluetooth GPS

So I picked up an external GPS receiver off ebay. It's the Globalsat BT-359C (http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-214-bt-359c.aspx). Turned it on, everything went fine as far as my fuze finding it. I'd goto add new device, it'd pull up "BT-GPS371D88", i'd select it, put it the four "0" 's, and it'd give me the message "your pocketpc is now connected with BT-GPS371D88". It comes up in the list but under disconnected. So i'm like eh whatever, and setup the outgoing com port to COM0 as per the instructions, and make sure its unsecure.
I go back to devices, highlight BT-GPS371D88, click it. Check off "Serial Port" in select services to use, and save. Then heres where everything goes wrong, I hit connect, and it gives me the following message "Your device did not connect with BT-GPS371D88. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect." I've been tinkering with it all day, searching various forums to no avail. Even downgraded my 6.5 rom to 6.1 thinking it was maybe incompatible with something so new.
Now i'm stuck, I really want to get it working so i can use it for a trip thats coming up in a few days. Has anyone else had such a problem? is there like a quick fix that i'm over looking, or is it simply not compatible with the fuze? I managed to get it paired up and connected fine to my blackberry curve just to see if the gps unit was defective (did buy it off ebay). Any Ideas guys? Not sure where else to turn now.
Oh yeah btw my current rom that i'm using is
At0mAng Fusion Power V 5.X ROM Series
Windows Mobile 6.1 (Build 21051 1.6.4)

have a BT GPS for my Dell axim x51v, got some trouble too getting it to connect, but eventually did
here are some pointers:
1) Delete all pairings and com port pairings on the device
2) Pair the device (make sure that you put 'request authorization' or something... this ensures that you need to put the 0000 code to connect)
3) you need to set up at outgoing port on your device, to the BT GPS... COM 8 is norm
4) External GPS setting in the Start>Settings tab
hardware port is where you put the outgoing port in (3)
software port is where you put for your GPS software... COM4 is norm
third column where WinMo will manage GPS, say yes
This worked for me:
I have a Hermes (WM6.5) with a holoux bluetooth GPS, but the GPS was not connecting for me properly either. It seems to be a problem with the way WM6.1 pairs with bluetooth devices.
I managed to get mine to work without reflashing by downloading this alternative bluetooth manager:

Hope this helps.
Not trying to bump up an old thread for no reason, but I figured this info would be helpful for people utilizing searches.
After lots of research and frustration the past week I have gotten my external GPS (USGlobalSat BT-368i) to work with my HTC Fuze! Below are the steps I followed that have worked for me. Note that I still have the phone configured to use the internal GPS if the program is set to "Let windows manage GPS settings".
1. Pair the device using Bluetooth.
2. Under the devices tab select your external gps device, and check the box to use "Serial Port". Then choose Save.
2. Under the Bluetooth settings choose "COM Ports" tab.
3. Choose "New Outgoing Port", and then select your device and click next. Choose your port and preferred "secure" option. Then click Finish. (I have configured mine to use COM0 & Secure Connection)
The device will still show as "Disconnected", and you will not be able to connect it under the Bluetooth manager. It will give you an error saying unable to connect.
To use the external GPS device you can simply select the outgoing port you configured above in your program, and most likely you will use a baud rate of 4800. Once you enable the GPS in the program it should connect itself via Bluetooth to your device and begin using it.
You should also be able to configure it to automatically use your external GPS instead of the internal one under the "External GPS" settings, but my current ROM has the hardware portion of External GPS manager broken @ the moment. Therefore I have not configured this, and cannot confirm it.
Hope this helps someone!

Focus Bluetooth gone

So, I noticed that my Bluetooth no longer works on my Focus.
I have it interloped unlocked and running OS version 7.10.8862.144
I was trying a Bluetooth file transfer program, and it no longer enables. If I toggle it, my phone thinks it's on, but the status bar icon never shows up. It can't see other bluetooth devices and they can't see it.
My guess is that the file transfer program screwed up some settings.
Anyone willing to look for the settings I should have in the registry and possibly the driver names?
What is your Bluetooth file transfer program?
I removed it after it didn't work. The suppose bigger issue is that I tried a few programs, and I don't remember the names.
The ones I remember are as fallows : BT Transfer, DFT BT File Transfer, and Nokia Bluetooth Share.
DFT BT File Transfer for Full Unlock.
Nokia Bluetooth Share must have Nokia drivers on your phone.
Ok, but my issue is that Bluetooth no longer works at all.

Android Whiz-kid required!

Hi all
I know this is regarding a headunit but I feel like its more of a "generic" Android Software issue, so was hoping someone knew in here- i havent had any luck in the Android Headunits forum...
Basically, my Android Headunit is driving me mad!
Sometimes (99% of the time) when i switch my car on in the morning the headunit will switch on as normal, but either the touchscreen will not work at all, or will work for a few seconds and then stop responding completley. It will then sometimes either start working again after a while, or after a few resets (via the hardware button). However, once it starts working again you can bet your bottom dollar it wont work again the next day.
The headunit is still working, because i can change the volume with the SWC and I also have a mouse connected via USB so i can control it, access settings etc.
My question is that is it likely a background Android process that activates once the headunit has been to sleep is responsible for causing the touchscreen to become unresponsive?
Things I have tried:
* Hard Reset (I dont think this is a full hard reset though because it keeps evidence of previously installed apps, folders etc on the internal flash)
* Touch screen calibration
* Removing sim card and other (USB) connected devices
Things I cannot do:
* I have asked for the firmware from the seller but he is not responding
Things I will consider doing
* Installing another (preferably rooted) firmware, but I dont know which are compatiable
This is the headunit:

That's quite helpful. But in my case it was totally different. I installed win 10 on my PC from an iso (got it directly from windows website and not from manufacturer) and the Bluetooth just stopped working... In the previous version, i.e. win 7 there used to be keyboard shortcuts for enabling it. Installing a new iso deleted them all. so, the only way is to switch on Bluetooth from TPFC (ThinkPadFanControl) and it only works that way... LOL
