Problems with COM PORT 1

Hi there,
I was using Mapopolis GPS software ver 3.20 on my SX-56 and it was working fine with the GPS reciever being picked up on COM 1. Suddenly one fine day, the Mapopolis software would not work at all and the phone for some reason would not detect the reciever on COM 1. I re-booted, re-installed and eventually blew my ROM and thus the phone entirely trying to work the GPS but to no avail. I kept trying since when I connect the GPS reciever even now directly to my laptop, it still works fine so I assume there is nothing wrong with the GPS unit itself!
I have just bought a new T-Mobile WM 2003 unit and after installing mapopolis on it, it still is not working on the GPS and giving me the exact same problem. I have put it on "autodetect" and it goes in a loop on the COM Ports and starts from COM3, then COM8 and then COM9 then back all over again...it does not even start from COM1...when I remove "autodetect" and set it on COM 1, it keeps saying detecting and nothing happens, I've left it like that for more than an hour!
I'm just wondering why it was working before and not anymore? Any suggestion or ideas are more than welcome! Are any program trying to block the COM1? If so, how do I get rid of them or free the COM1? I'm stuck...
Thanks.

Try to deactivate the beam of IR port.
Or take a look if the Activesync doesn't use the com port.
It you're using a IR external Keyboard deactivate it...
Bye, M.

Re: COM Problem
Sir,
You are a king!!! Just saved me from blowing up yet another fantantic PDA!!! I don't know how to thank you, it was the IR port occupying the COM and it is working great now after I disabled it!!! Just a small question for you, is it possible to fix my old PDA which I totally messed up because of re-setting etc etc.? I have the problem posted on:

Thanks in advance.

tv tuner
Is it possible to use mda2 as a monitor to watch tv out of home, connecting it to an usb-tv tuner?

Re:
I doubt it since the USB-TV Tuner would require a USB port for a connect through and I do not know of PDA which have that, but then I may be wrong....

TOMTOM 6

I have installed TOMTOM 6 on my pda, but when I try to run the program the backlight goes off. I have tried the same software and installed it exactly I did on XDA II. The other PDA TomTOm6 works fine but on my XDA II the backlight goes off. I don't know why...anyone having same problems??? or anyone knows how can i fix this problem.
Many Thanks in advance
Jay

Use the search feature, there is a backlight fix somewhere.

I cannot find any software or installation file which I can use to patch this problem. I have found some people here are saying to alter some registry settings while installation but that is for TomTom 5 and not 6.
If you have a patch please do post it here or send the link. that will be really helpful.
Kind Regards
Jay

No Prob Bud!
Enjoy. Just copy and over write the exe file and it should work fine.
Good Day.

You are A Star dude!!!

Try to turn your phone on (I mean Flight Mode must NOT be ON). Should work fine then.

GPS PC Software w/ TP?

I'm looking for a good PC program that is compatible with the TP when using it as an external GPS recevier. I already configured it using GPS2Blue and seems to be working. I've tried Google Earth Pro, but it doesn't seem to be compatible.
So what progs are you guys using on your PCs for GPS software?
Thanks,

[Q] How to turn an android device into a USB connected mouse

I am trying to develop an Andorid app that will turn the device into a USB connected mouse. I know there are a lot of stuff on the market like this but almost all of them require a software installation on the PC. What I want to do is to have the phone be recognized as a mouse driver.
My team and I have been doing extensive research on this as we have worked on Android before. We are having difficulty on how to turn the phone into a mouse driver. My first plan is to learn how real mouse gets recognized as a mouse from the PC and then translate that to Android device.
Any suggestions? We would really appreciate any ideas and inputs.
Thanks,

Very usefull work
I realy want this app but cant find...
U can speak with bluetooth mouse makers or microsoft! To know how a windows can find driver for mouse
Sorry for bad english!!!

Very good idea. I was hoping you might success.

Thanks for the response guys. I am looking into bluetooth function as well. The main problem seems to be the communication between the PC and the phone, so we are considering using a board but that will not be consumer friendly.
I wish I can just figure out how real wireless mouse works... it is a good idea as mentioned to contact one of the mouse makers but I don't think they will tell me anything xD

Mk808b + usb gps

Hi All, has anyone had any success in getting android devices such as the MK808B to work with external GPS devices such as the Prolific PL2303? Desperately trying to find a way to support it so that I may use one to make a car PC. So if anyone can help / advise me how to install drivers and get it recognised in copilot I would be extremely grateful. Thanks
Dave

I did try this using my android phone and a few apps that share your phone GPS as a bluetooth GPS but couldnt get it recognized by copilot. Id definately be open to this if i can get it recognized in there. Currently im using an archos 80 G9 tablet as my car PC, but want to switch to this mini pc for better performance and a better mounting option for in the dash - so my aim is to get GPS and a HDMI / USB touchscreen (such as an egalax screen) working. Then its a go. Ill then probably turn my hand to application development (my day to day job) to come up with the best option user interface wise and will happily share all the information and software i develop with the community.

MK808B + CoPilot (GlobalSat BT-359)
I am able to use MK808B + CoPilot (GlobalSat BT-359) with the help of a mock GPS provider app (Blutooth GPS). GoogleMaps \ Sygic are both working perfect.
I am also looking for a HDMI/USB touch screen for it, any update on this?

Ok, got a copilot branded BT GPS device, and its recognised and seems to be working with some apps - but not the one i want the most, copilot. It just states its unable to register for GPS updates, which sucks!

I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Electron...p/B006M49G80/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=136138107
I use it w/out issue w/Google Maps, so I'll drop co-pilot on and see how it works out.
The rest of my CarPC setup:

I contacted the makers of Co-pilot and they said they dont support external GPS receivers. I have both the bluetooth and USB receivers but I think for co-pilot to support them I'd need to get to be recognised as the inbuilt GPS receiver. Co-pilot tells me its unable to register for GPS requests - but other apps _seem_ to work, but currently all my testing is done on a PC monitor, so its hard to hit the road and see if its actually working. I currently have an archos G9 80 built into my Jag XK8 and im so pleased with the functionality - but not so much with the GPS support (can be hit and miss) and with the mounting. Prior to that i had a windows PC, but that was much worse of an installation.
