Hi, I'm trying to install a gps mouse on my XDA and cant work out the right settings. I have tried the must likely ones but they dont work.
when I try to connect to com port 1 my phone says its not available.
does anyone know how to open the com port or how i might get around this.
Go to settings/connections/beams and make sure the "receive incoming beams" is not checked. The mouse should then find Com1 and operate fine using nmea 4800 or just choose tomtom gps in the gps selector in tomtom.
Thanks for the advice, just tried it and it works fine.
Dam it guys..
Edit: damnit lol

Hi folks,
Last week I purchased a Seiko Smartpad 2 for my XDA II. I noticed someone else on xda-developers said they had got it working but I can't on mine.
Seiko Tech support told me I should be using the COM1 port in InkNote Mgr. However my xda says the port is in use by another app. If I try COM2 they appear to talk to one another ie. it says it is connected and battery status is ok. However the X/Y coordinates stay blank and nothing appears on the screen.
I do have TomTom installed so could this be grabbing COM1 or is there something else I need to look at.
hope someone can help.
cheers

Go to settings/connections/beams and make sure the receive incoming beams is turned off. TomTom should only grab the port when it is running and will only use COM 1 when using a wired gps receiver.
My XDAII wont connect to GPS. I have tomtom5 installed on my xdaII and have tried a BT GPS receiver and a wired one. It will ask you the device type unpon installation and then the port number.
no i dea which port to use and have tried then all anyway. I get a message no device connected. I cannot keep my BT device connect when i pair it either. Tried this on a XDAIIs aswell and exactly same prob.
Please help!!
i would try unchecking "recieve all beam files" in connections
to release com1
and try once more
Turn off beams releases com 1 for the wired gps. I think wired gps is the way to go if you need it for incar use only, I see far too many problems with bluetooth and if you have no sense of direction like me it is very annoying when the bluetooth decides to start acting stupid.
i will try
thanks guys im away from home till wknd so i will try this when i get back.
i will let you know if it works.
thanks
Yup that worked great thanks guys
Hi,
can someone help me before I rip all my hair out! lol
I just installed tomtom version 5 on my MDA Vario but I can't seem to get the tomtom to recognise the bluetooth receiver.
Can someone tell me a simple solution please where I don't need to edit anything.
I need a DUMMIES guide!
I would really be greatful if someone could upload the prog. or software that would solve the problem + clear instructions.
Thank You
Hi
I am using XDA II , I think tomtom setting is same. after installing tomtom you need to pair the phone with reciever. Once paired goto settings, system,bluetooth settings.
Make sure you have 'ticks' place in 'Bluetooth Serial Port settings'
Inbound Com port : Com4 ( activate by placing tick )
Outbound Com port : Com5 ( activate by placing tick )
thats all the setting for bluetooth you need on the phone.
Start tomtom and goto 'Change Prefereance' and then Show GPS status.
in there you can select your reciever type and then in configuration menu select com5, it should pick some sattelites. on mine it takes a little while to pick the signal.
On the tomtom gps connection menu BT is listed as Com 6 (it is on mine) but that is incorrect, so you need to select Com5. I tried both com4 and com5 and it worked, so tried both com ports.
I hope you can understand what i am waffeling on about .

I'm using a Touch Pro (Raphael/Fuze) with TomTom7.
So heres the problem, my Raph's GPS would work fine with Google Maps getting satelites easily and quickly but while using TomTom it doesnt find any. Tried different COM ports and built in gps-reciver etc.
So im wondering now how i can get it to work... Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to point TT to 'other NMEA' com6 baud 115200... Make sure your GPS is set to HW com8 SW com6 manage 'auto'

Hey guys,
Right quick story of whats going on, basically i got my XDA stellar hock up via bluetooth to my laptop at work using active syn, and is set to com port 8. the reason i do bluetooth is casue our work server wont allow usb connection, dont ask why, but bluetooth works fine.
so just yesterday my fone broke and currently taken it to get repaired, now i have got my old XDA orbit which i used before, and i need to transfer all my contacts i saved in outlook on to me old XDA orbit, so i paired the laptop and the fone, but active syn didnt work said i need to pair, so i tried to set the fone to have an outgoing port to the acer (laptop), but i have only got options for com6 & com7. i need to add com8 on my fone so i can active syn with the laptop, any ideas how i can add a com8 to my XDA orbit??
I hope this makes sense
Kind regards
