Setting up a bluetooth profile

Guys
I am having real problems getting my GPS to talk to my XDA11i . the two devices appear to talk to each other ( flash furiously) but tom tom doesnt recognise it.
Bluetooth manager confirms there is an active connection.
I believe that the BT profile is not set up correctly.
I can go to BT settings and make a new profile , selecting serial transfer etc and then give the profile a name , BUT , each time I select the profile whilst the access permissions are still as set , when I open the services tab no services are selected ! despite selecting it when the profile was set up ?
Any thoughts here ?

Go to BT parameter -> services -> serial port -> options
Write down IN/OUT port number, report the OUT port number to you GPS software.
If pb still exists, try to use "Franson GpsGate" or NMEA as connection within gps software.

Tried that !
Hi NewbiePDA
Been there and tried that , the outgoing port is port 6 and in tom tom 's configuration choices the choice of port 6 is the only oje that seems to get any where ( activity from the LED on the GPS unit ) all other port choices given turn off the GPS.
Ive got a copy of franson gpsgate but got nowhere with it ,
It has to be a simple configuration problem !
I have set up a spp profile in BT settings ( and called it tom tom ) I have ticked the serial connection and then Enable service box then closed down ( hit ok). Upon re opening the profile serial port choice is no longer chosen ? any ideas ?
Best Regards

Hi Astro1,
I think that creating spp profile is unnecessary, my procedure is as below:
1) Pair you devices
BT -> BT manager -> tools -> pair device -> add
browse you BT devices then you should see you gps icon appear, click on it, then type you password to pair, usually is 0000
2) back to BT manager, choose "new", choose discover a BT device, again, you should see you gps device, click on it, normally you get spp service, just follow the step by clicking "next"...
If you can't see any services available then turn off you BT gps device, turn off you Xda2i BT, soft reset, then turn on gps, back to step 2)
3) If pb remains, probably it's due to tomtom's bt stack, try rename BtCoreIf.dll BtSdkCE30.dll (in \windows folder) to others name, or delete them.
Hope that helps.

re name or delete
Hi Newbe
I am trying to delete or rename the two files you note , I have seen this on other sites as well .
Like you XDA11i says that the files are in use and read only / archive /hidden or in use etc.
It will not let me touch them !
Any ideas of a file manager or software that will let me work on them ??

download and install gpsdash2 and in the connection settings click on auto config, it will find you gps receaver ad set itself up, this will also give you the correct bt settings, it will show you if everything is working okay. and some cool features.
i had to do this with my jentro bt unit

Hi Skeevee
Ive tried that one too .
GPS gate checks trhe ports and the blue led on the Bluetooth GPS unit flashes furiously ( as if they are talking ) , but GPS gate reports unable to find GPS ???
This is loosing me , it seems to me that the two devices are talking but that there is a comms / set up problem .
TT6 tries to talk to the GPS as well but gets no where ?

Bluetooth sharing

I don't know if i'm missing something here, but the bluetooth manager folder in file explorer seems useless.It never finds any of my devices and i have no idea why. It says searching but can't find anything. It can't find my 8525 when it' on and visible. Does the 8525 have to have this for it to work? If not, how can i get it working? Thanks

I had problems with this too, couldn't find the receiver device when trying to send a file.
This worked for me:
You have to do kinda "shake hands" of the devices the first time.
Goto Start menu -> settings -> connections -> bluetooth -> devices -> add new device
(could be named a little bit different, I translated from my german device)
You will be asked for a password. I normally use 0000 (standard BT password), even if it's not the savest way I think
The other device will recognize this and also askes for the password.
Once the device is mentioned in the devices list, sending and receiving to/from it will be possible.
I hope this was what you asked for.

My problem
I have done the whole pairing thing but when i do the discover services it say no services found and it's not connected please advise

u need to go in the BT configuration and under FTP tab check the Enable File Sharing.
For some reason or maybe for me only, this settings does not stick, and I have to do it anytime I want to exchange files. But once I tick the box, I am able to transfer files, contacts and such.
On the same FTP page you can choose to activate the BT explorer. This will browse other BT enabled phones ?! I guess. More like BT jacking?!

is there a cab for the BT Explorer as it is not cooked into the rom I have ??

Bluetooth OBEX

Hello,
I try to send files via bluetooth to a C500 or other phones but each time i have an Error message from Obex : "Cannot connect to the Obex device. It is either not accessible or does not support selected device". I have disabled Obex in Resco explorer and i have put the value to 0 in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled) but it did not change anything.
Does anybody know how i can doto be able to send and recieve files from everybody ?
Thank you, and have a good day.
MA

Please, tell me if i am alone to have this kind of probleme, are you able to send files with all other phones ?

I can see that nobody use his bluetooth.
Thank you

I have no problem at all.
1. Add new device, in bluetooth settings.
2. Click FTP tab and make sure "enable file sharing" is checked
3. Beam the file you want. After you are paired.
Thants what I do and have always done, and it works fine for me.
EDIT* Make sure the other device has filesharing permissions set. I.E. allow file transfers. Not enabling this on the recieving device will throw that error.

Hey, just seeing if it worked for ya. Let me know

you're supposed to put 1 for IsEnabled

wlan filesharing through router

hey there,
im using my day off to play a little bit with my td. now i would like to build network connection via wlan through my router to my desktop so i can move files from pc to ppc and vica versa. problem is that im not able to see my desktop on the phone, nor to see my phone on the desktop. i cant even get into any filesharing option(s) on the diamond
since now im using resco explorer...
help needed

What have you tried so far?
In Resco Explorer, try Menu > File > Network > Map Drive and then enter the computer name and share in the format \\computer\share.
You may find there are no computers/shares listed in the bottom window (hence why you have to manually enter it above) however in my case I'd always put this down to me using Samba on Linux but perhaps it just doesn't support this sort of network 'browsing' to find what shares are available.
Mathew

yeehaaw thanks a lot! that made it. still a a bit uncomfortable but i think once added i dont have to reenter the path.
so now i just have to figure out how to make this work vice versa... wonder if it is as easy as it sounds i'll let you know
thanks so far!!

I don't think it's possible the other way round... but that shouldn't matter as from your phone you've got two-way traffic right now.
You're right about not needing to reenter the name - just hit My Device at the top (or traverse up to the tree to the top) and you'll find a My Network at the same level - inside here is your previously mapped share(s).

Hi,
I have tried to map my Vista laptop via Resco as stated above but comes up with error :
Cannot map network path, network resorce cannot be found.....
As I dont fully understand what I am doing can someone do a walkthough please?
I have tried to search the forum, but can get it to search keywords.
Thanks in advance
PS Can I map the internal storage via windows explorer?

You guyz should try Total Commander, it has a plugin for LAN. Works very good, even transferring big files. Running Vista Ultimate.
Greetings.

Thanks Sergio for your reply, I have total commander but have no idea how to use it, Can you offer any step by step instructions to connect to my vista laptop.
Thanks

Sure no prob do this:
-Turn your WiFi connection. (usually best performance settings works best)
-Access Total Commander.
-In the main page, where you see Internal Storage and device. You should see a folder named \\Plugins. Access this folder.
-Then access the folder named LAN.
-Then access the <new server> option.
-Name your connection.
-When asked for the server name, type in the computer you want to access (you can find the name by going in your PC to the network file and check which files are shared on your computer, click on them and you should get the name of the server "pic attached")
-You are done enjoy.
-Vista kicks assss.
Greetings to all.

Thanks Sergio,
I have followed your steps,Now I can connect to the Laptop folder in the network Directory which is the location \\LAPTOP. I can connect fine but the folders are not visable so appears to be empty in Total Commander which we know its not.
I also have a NAS drive which I can connect to following your steps with ease. Trouble is I dont want to use this as it is by Back up drive.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks again.

[PROB] Bluetooth Explorer of HTC touch pro

I cant get bluetooth explorer to work.
Whenever i tick the check box to enable bluetooth explorer in settings, once i click ok it does not save it and the box is unticked when i open up bluetooth settings again.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any ideas?
I try to fix:
****FIXED*****
Now the Problem just happen to hit me when my bluetooth explorer wasn't working on my Touch pro. From the stock rom it worked fine, then I applied some tweaks, and it stopped.. So I starting searching.. I have came up with no Fixes, so I was retracing my steps..
What had happened was I had set my File System Cache to 131072 from the registry. I never noticed it, till I fired up Advanced Config, and Noticed that when I clicked on the list of sizes, 8M was the higest, I thought that was strange, so I set it to 8M in advanced config, Soft Reset, and now my Bluetooth Explorer is working just fine..
So, recap..
Make sure your FILE SYSTEM CACHE is set to 8M Or just not some Huge Number, My FILE SYSTEM FILTER CACHE IS SET TO 131072
Notice where I got the mixup I set the wrong values.. Hope this can help some people out..
For those who don't know what the Bluetooth Explorer is, Its quite simple, You need to enable FTP Sharing on your Device such as your computer.. Then open the FTP Explorer on your phone, it will list the bluetooth devices it finds, once it does click the device, and walla all the files that are on the device(computer) folder you setup now show on your phone..
If anyone has any questions about this or needs help fixing it, just PM me.

but nothing happen, I open start > program > without bluetooth explorer
I use mighty rom, window mobile 6.5

I had no issues when I was using WinXP and a Tilt, I could just pair the laptop and Tilt and transfer files back and forth.
I am now on a new Dell laptop w/ Vista (and Dell Wireless 360 Bluetooth module) and after pairing w/ my Fuze, I cannot transfer files in either direction.
Any thoughts????
Hi, I have your exact same setup and just got BT exporer working.
Things to check are:
1. go to settings under "communications manager " and select Bluetooth
2. add your laptop as new device
3. under mode, make sure "make this device visible.." is checked
4, under FTP, make sure "enable BT explorer" and "enable file sharing" are checked.
On your laptop I used the "Bluetooth Information Exchanger\File Transfer\Shared Folder" to transfer files and I got it to work.
It isn't easy to setup but it does work.
Cheers,
Connor
did you try this from the same thread?
