Everyone,
I have been able to get the internal GPS working well with Google Maps, etc. However, I tried connecting last night to my Holux GR-236 external bluetooth GPS receiver and the bjii (wm6.1) cannot connect - it gives me an error that either there was a connection problem or the passkey was incorrect.
Note that I have several other devices that connect with the Holux just fine using the 0000 passkey, so I dont believe it is the passkey.
Also note that I can get the bjii to connect to my computer and a bluetooth headset so the bluetooth on the phone works.
Anybody have any ideas what is going on? Is there any way to debug why the connection fails?
Thanks.

I got a GPS receiver, this one: http://www.widget.co.uk/asp/product...cat=45&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
It didn't come with any instructions.
I am trying to pair it with my phone, as Tomtom 5 asks me to, but I don't know what passkey to put in or how to go about doing it...
I have created a connection to it in bluetooth manager and tried to add it in tomtom to no avail.
I have an XDA 2i with all the default ROMs etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.
[Edit]
After digging around on the net I found out how to pair them. It seems that the company who sold me this didn't even include the code to pair the device with! Now I have the problem of tomtom not detecting it...
It seems that COM6 is the port which the bluetooth GPS receiver is on but in tomtom it only lets me select from COM4, COM2 and COM9 - how should I go about connecting it?
NB: I have tested the GPS with some application that I found for it on the net and it *seems* to not have a fix, though it has been connected and turned on a long time.

Hi,
I recently upgraded to the bluetooh Widcomm stack on the laptop. Its better, more complete software but I seem to have lost 2 bits of functionality :
1. Only the device can initiate a bluetooth connection. Nothing I do from the PC will establish a working connection, even though it does see the device.
2. My bluetooh sat nav no longer pairs with the laptop. No idea why. But it's pain - because bluetooth was the only way to connect. It's never been recognised by XP as a USB device.,
any one had similar experience ? wm5 on a prophet.
bump.....sorry
Hello,
I've the following problem. I've a MDA Pro with WM6. It's a german Maxstegi 4.7, but I tried 2 differnt ROMs from your board but my problem persists.
Bluetooth is activated and working. This I checked with a Siemens HHB-750 A2DP Audiotransmitter. Then I tried to connect my i747
http://www.transystem.com.tw/p-gps-iblue747.htm
and googlemaps, wififofum and Tomtom can't find it, regardless of every combination of settings in external GPS and Bluetooth. The funny thing is that Navigon detected the GPS on COM1: serial cable but wasn't running because of memory problems. I checked the gps mouse with my laptop and it's running fine.
My question now: Has anyone this gps running on a Universal with WM6 or does anyone know about problems with the bluetooth stack and how to correct it, or which GPS via Bluetooth works somewhere with Tomtom?
Thanks

I have 727 and universall and WM6.0 (but french FLA242). no problme just have to do partenership and open a com port (for tomtom and universal it's com4. uncheck secure connect
@stephane.papin
Hello Stephane, I tried com4 with and without external GPS - no success. Secure connection is unchecked. Any more suggestions, please.

Thanks

I am currently using Energy 'Phoenix 2' (21892) Feb 17 build. I have a Holux GPSlim 236 GPS receiver that I am trying to connect. I am positive that I am using the correct password to connect, but every time it tries to connect it says "The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect". I have tried everything listed in this post (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476940), but nothing seems to fix it. Anyone successfully gotten a BT GPS receiver to work with WinMo 6.5+?
same for me
I don;t have mine anymore.. but you are using 0000 as the password, right? that is what I had to use on mine.. but that was with my HP iPaq.. all my HTC devices jsut used the internal GPS....
I'm trying to use an external GPS receiver with my Sensation, but can't get it to connect.
I can pair with it, but am then unable to get a connection to work...
Am I missing something?
Ok, I found a solution...
I downloaded 'Bluetooth GPS Provider' from the market - works perfectly, even with Sygic!
