Product not found!

Sorry about that, if you look under O2 in the same page you will see it. Ever so sorry about that.
damn links!!

This is the O2 xda car kit
I ordered the kit from directmobileaccesories.com and it arrived yesterday, it is an O2 boxed xda car kit.
Everything works fine - except - I removed my old Nokia 9110 car kit which had a radio mute kit that feeds the phone through the car speakers, and tried to connect the radio mute from the O2 kit to the radio mute lead used by the Nokia car kit. When I place the xda in the cradle it immediately cuts over from the radio to the phone, even before the phone part of the xda is activated.
I have a radio mute on the steering console so I have temporarily disconnected the mute lead and fitted the speaker that came with the xda car kit.
Any suggestions why the radio mute cuts over straight away ?

Try making a call
Hi,
I have seen the same behaviour, it looks like the mute works reversed. If you make a call the radio will swotch on.
If this is your problem it should be easy to fix by using a small relay or something similiar.

the problem has resolved itself
the problem I had with the radio muting all the time has resolved itself, it now works perfectly.

Microsoft Bluetooth on XDA III

Hello,
is there a way to have the microsoft bluetooth that is on the XDA II on the XDA III ?
Thanks

And my question is : Oh my god, why?
All users of XDA II wants to have another BT stack. We are trying to use Widcomm (Which is in the XDA III) or another else than M$, which is almost useles...

As mentioned by kopecek, why would you prefer Microsoft drivers?
Having had an XDA II which only had Microsoft Drivers, I love my new XDA IIs which comes with Widcomm/Broadcomm drivers. There are more profiles here that Microsoft does not have.
Microsoft does not support Handsfree profile for Bluetooth handsfree which was a real pain for those still stuck on Microsoft drivers.
Besides, you can do anything with the Widcomm drivers that Microsoft can do.

First of all (but I am ot sure it comes from the widcom drivers) people hear me less well on my car kit with my Qtek 9090 than with my Qtek 2020.
Second of all (and I know it is not very important but it makes me nervous !!!) everytime the bluetooth is in use it switch on the phone. And when I make a phone call and hang it up I always switch off my phone like that it is safe in my pocket. But with the headset profile of the widcom you have to wait 5 seconds after you hang up to switch it off. Same thing when I enter my car the phone switch on when it pair with the car kit....Not realy a big deal but I wanted to try if it was possible with the microsoft drivers wich where on the Qtek 2020.
That's my reasons... :wink:

I solved my problem by only pairing the Qtek with my car kit and don't create a Headset profile. Like that when I am using my phone out of my car the phone is not trying to search for a bluetooth device and when I am in my car it recognize the Qtek and use it to place calls.
I AM NOW OFFICIALLY TOTALY IN LOVE WITH MY PHONE !!!

Jabra JX10 and Tomtom 6 Conflict

I have just bought a jabra jx10 and paired it with my BA under Helmi vamilla 1.4 ROM. Previously I was using a plantronics M2500 which worked fine with tomtom but the jabra seems to be using the same port/interfering with the gps.
When TT6 and mu BT338 gps are on, they work fine but as soon as I switch the jx10 on, tomtom loses the connection with the gps and a connection is made with the headset + I think TT tries to comunicate with the jabra as it bips regularly with TT on.
Does anyone know how two make both devices work simultaneously?
It worked perfectly with my old M2500...

anyone ?

I can't see how you are using the same port for both devices, but you may as well check.
Start - Settings - Connections - Bluetooth - Com Ports
Should see a list of devices and they should all be on diffrent "COM" numbers. It should be impossible to put two devices on the same port.
I would think you just have a headset that doesn't support more then two connections to one device, most older Bluetooth devices don't and theres still some new ones that don't. It's mainly a host thing, but not in this case. No amount of fiddling with your Blue Angel is going to fix the issue I'm afraid.
In fact, you have already stated it is not an issue with your Blue Angel as it works with your other headphones, which maybe is why no one else has replied.

I have a Htc TyTn WM6 and had a Jabra JX10 with TomTom gps receiver and it worked fine.
Two days ago my Jabra JX10 broke so I bought a Jabra JX10 Series II and now I have the same conflict as described in this post.
Can anyone please help?

First post - THB Bury problem

Hi,
This is my first post so please be easy on me
I am an ICT Engineer and I am having problems with one of my customers HTC Kaiser (re-badged as Orange TyTN II).
He has an THB Bury cradle. The Kaiser has TomTom installed (Orginal disc version 6 navigator), but when the phone is docked in the cradle it goes to Cra Kit profilr and he gets no sound from TomTom.
I have changed the profile, but still no sound from TomTom. I have checked the cradle it it works fine apart no sound for sat nav.
I have searched for hours on loads of forums to find a fix for this i.e. new ROM from Orange or patch from THB, but can't find anything.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix i.e. registry alternation.

Is there anything within the TomTom settings for this.
It might be that this is the way it will work, afterall you do not want the TomTom coming out over the audio of the telephone call.

Thanks for the reply.
We used to use the Orange SPV M2000 (HTC BlueAngel) with TomTom using the same hands free kit (different cradle obviously) and never had a problem. The sat nav audio would work as normal, but when a call came in the sat nav would cut out until the call had finished.
I have have been through the TomTom settings (very limited) and cannot see anyway of changing the audio on it.
It seems more like a HTC Kaiser problem rather than TomTom or the cradle, because it worked fine with a BlueAngle.

Just found this on a THB Bury re-sellers site: -
"Please note: When the Phone is put into the cradle, the Phone will immediately go into car kit profile, which means the external speaker will be disabled [loss of sound for the Sat Nav directions]"
Is the registry hack to stop this happening?

Have you tried using the tomtom and checking there is audio working ok without putting it in the cradle?

Yep. TomTom works absolutly fine out of the cradle. I have even bought a new cradle to check if the original cradle was defect, but still no sound.
To summarise: -
TomTom audio working fine out of THB Bury HFK
TomTom stops working when in THB Bury HFK (enters Car Kit Profle)

Could you not move the handsfree cradle to maybe a vent mount solution so that when you are in the car you can view the TomTom directions instead of hearing them?
Personally I would find yor situation ideal as I hate SatNav voice commands and prefer to navigate from the map.

I got a response from THB Bury about this problem:
"Dear Alistair, many thanks for your enquiry regarding our Bury product range.
The Navigationcommand didn´t run over the carkit, because the Navigationsoftware got no software for muting.
Best regards
Dean Taylor
--Bury-Infoline-- "
Not really what I needed so.....
Does anyone know either how to doctor the USB connector so that it doesn't cause the phone to switch to 'car mode' OR a registry/software fix which stops the TnTY/Stellar from muting its internal speaker when in 'Car' mode?
Failing that I need a new car kit which, holds the phone, charges it, provides hands free phone service, allows TT6 audio instructions through and doesn't blow the USB port. Just like the THB Bury 'Universal' kit should do.
Any recommendations? Alistair

Cheap alternative to car kit?

Just wondering, but I remember reading something like that the TouchPro 2 or one the HTC devices that also had Navipanel on carkit found a cheap way to use a normal car kit that would activate navipanel when placed onto it. Has anyone been able to come up with something like that for the HD2? Something homemade? The htc carkit for it costs almost 90 dollars so I'm hoping to find a cheaper one instead.
PS I don't want a solution to start Navipanel. I know about the /windows folder. I just want to know a carkit method to start navipanel.
