PDA2K Bluetooth Headset

My PDA2K had the same problems as everyone else did the bluetooth error kept turning up and asking for a soft rest.
Bluetooth activesync and TomTom worked fine the the headset was crap it did sort of work but not as it should.
I did the upgrade rom from the Imate site, But now the Activesync and TomTom work as befor, but the headset (jabra 250 and 250v) pair ok but fail at the end of the set up proces.
Dose anyone know a way to fix this
Thanks
John

Am i the only one with this problem? or after rom upgrade dose everyones PDA2k work fine with no Bluetooth problems, and the headset working properley
Thanks John

aside from the annoying constant connection, I've got it paired to a sony HB-35 and working with no major problems.
As for annoying, what happens is that the phone establishes a bluetooth connection to my HB-35 but never releases it unless I disconnect or power the HB-35 off. Other than that, when it is connected, it seems to work ok... have not used it all that much since i use the PDA2k to play my mp3's.. so I've been using the corded headset.. Tend to use the bluetooth only when I need it for gps navigation .

Bluetooth Tools JAM compatibility?

I just got my JAM and the MS Stack doesn't work with my Audi MMI System BT. The PDA2K Widcomm stack 1.1 did, but not the JAM. I can partner but no functionality.
Has anyone tried using the MDA II/XDA II BT Tools that helped that devices MS BT Stack with the JAM?
I love the JAM, but the MS Stack has so little menu functions.

yes it works perfect for me ... the same functions in xda2

Having quite same problems with Nokia carkit, after pairing connection dies quickly and doesn't work. Under BT devices menu "set as hands-free" is grayed out and also using bluetooth tools doesn't make difference, the connection screen just disappears quickly when pairing so can't change profile, maybe it's due incompability...
Don't know if it's possible to change BT stack but at the moment this thing sucks...

GPS Navman 4410 on Qtek S100
Sounds like the same problem I have with my GPS-connection (Subject GPS)

Could someone post the Bluetooth Tools file? I can't find it anywhere on my system or on the web.
thanks

Thanks kha!

Tools doesn't work well on my JAM!

Hi!
I´ve tested the Pocket Bluetooth Tools as well, but it doesn´t worked on my MDA compact (German ROM). When the software was installed, the BT doesnt work anymore.
My special problem is with the Royaltek RBT 3000 and the download of the tracks to the pda. Each time i try this, the connection breaks after 200 waypoints approx. The normal use with the navigation software like TomTom works well.
Looking for a solution.

TomTom disables BlueTooth on exit

Hi,
I use a BlueTrek earpiece (bluetooth) to enable handfree calling with my Qtek9100. I Also use TomTom Navigator.
When TomTom starts it enables the BlueTooth connections (if not allready active). This is usefull since I use a BlueTooth GPS with TomTom.
However, if I exit the TomTom Navigator application it is also disabeling BlueTooth, resulting in loosing the connection with the earpiece.
Does anybody know if this can be changed?
Perhaps a registry key I can change to solve this small, but annoyng, problem.

Turn on bluetooth before you start TomTom, then when you quit it should stay on. Does on my xda IIi anyway

The same on my magician. TT5.1 returns BT in the state it was before starting TT. TT5.0 however always shuts down BT on close.
Regards, M

I tested this last week, but came to the sam conclusion.
No matter what the state of BT, TomTom always disables BT on exit.

Ditto with my XDA2i running TomTom5 with a Qstarz BT-Q880. Slightly annoying.
However, if I press one of the hard buttons (such as the Contact List button), when the new window is brought up TomTom is minimised. Then, I can Switch (from hfrmobile.com) to Close All - and while this disconnects the GPS device, I've doublechecked and it doesn't disconnect my bluetooth headset, nor does it turn off the Bluetooth itself.
So, that in itself is a quick-and-dirty workaround hack, but I've not come up with any other solution thus far. Currently scouring the registry and the configuration files (what few there are) for a fix - it may be that someone with infinitely more coding ability needs to hack the TomTom .exe to disable this switchoff, though that's no mean feat.

You will probably find that if you reconfigure your GPS reciever in the Tomtom preferances as an "other wired receiver" select an appropriate baud rate, then select a Bluetooth com port, it will still work with a bluetooth GPS receiver but will completely leave your Bluetooth alone.
This does also mean it wont start it automatically if it's not allready on.

That doesn't work - the only way my Qstarz will work is if I configure it as Other Wired NMEA GPS and then run it on Bluetooth COM6, setting the baud rate appropriately (the Qstarz will accept any rate from 4800 to 115500 anyway, so that's rather irrelevant). Even if it's set as other wired GPS, the bluetooth is still disabled upon TT exiting.
This is also the info advised by the TomTom website if you're having problems getting your GPS to run with the software, so I'm guessing it's the only way. I'll have another look round the TT web site when I'm not so pushed for time.

What Tomtom version are you guys using? After a little play with mine I can say that with GPS setup as a bluetooth device. If bluetooth is on when I start Tomtom it stays on after I exit.
I use version 5.2 for Pocket PC

Well, small update - after having TomTom pop up the Bluetooth Manager box every time it starts up, and asking me which device I'd like to use as default, I managed to select the Qstarz Serial Port Connection shortcut which I created (had to manually create the link after setting up the device pairing) - I checked the option to Use this connetion by default, and now TomTom leaves the Bluetooth turned on after it exits!
Smashing stuff, means I can now use my headset and TomTom simultaneously in the car.
This is with TomTom 5.000 (4890) with GPS driver v1.20 and using the Great Britain Plus Map (v571). Bosh!

I get something different on my QTEK S100. When the QTek starts receiving the GPS signal (via bluetooth), TomTom freezes the screen for about 2 seconds and then closes TomTom.
Any ideas about this problem?
Is it because I had "MagicButton" installed? I uninstalled it, did soft reset... but the problem is still there. I can I know if it is MAgicButton doing that?
Thanks

Since v1.60c my bluetooth second binding is distorted

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.

WM6 and Bluetooth pairing Garmin GPS

I am using Garmin navigator (street Pilot 2820 / BMW Navigator III) and paired it with my WM5 phones without any problems.
Now I updated to WM6 and the pairing never ends properly. Since I am not the only one with WM6 and Garmin pairing problems I would like to ask here for a solution. Garmin is usually very very slow with updates and I use it daily for commiunication on the motorbike.
The phone connects to the Garmin and the Garmin sends it to the BT headset in my helmet.
What happens now:
Initiate pairing, devices find each other, giving the passcode, device connect for 30 secs, then the Garmin disconnects and starts the pairing proces again.
Usually when I am still setting the WM6 device to click on headset profile.
It doesn't matter on which device I start the pairing, they quickly connect.
When pairing I see 2 profiles on the WM6 device: headset and serial port. Headset gets automatically selected.
I have tried with and without authentication (passkey required) selected.
It seems the moment they make a connection and the WM6 device is figuring out what profile to use, the connections fails, the Garmin tries again, fails etc.
I have done a hard reset on both devices to make sure there were no 'left overs' but it did not help either.
Is there anyway to downgrade the BT driver on the WM6 device to get this working again? (I don't use the BT for anything else.)
My current devices 2x HTC Artemis /P3300 with different (latest)ROMS but I got also reports about the same problems with Garmin Zumo and WM6 (Qtec)
Thanks in advance!
