Tomtom handsfree with Xperia?? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
BIG THANK YOU for all your hard work with helping me make the most of my X1
I am posting due to a problem i have with my Tomtom 930t. I used my tomtom as handsfree for my W960 from sonyericcson with no issues. I could get calls, text(send and recieve), wireless data, Traffic and weather all from the bluetooth connection through the phone.
Now with my Xperia i can only get calls and thats if the bluetooth stays on long enough. I cannot get texts or wireless data to recieve my weather and traffic updates when im on the road.
Is there something i can load onto the Xperia to allow this?
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Did you try Bluemusic from Teksoft ?
I bought it two years ago but by this time it never worked on my HTC TyTN WM5, so I successfully used the Gotland patch.
I tried again Bluemusic on my new Xperia X1 and by miracle it works (probably staying two years (not used) in my computer fixed the trouble...).
BR.

Thanks ill have a search and see what i can find. However I did contact SE and they said it was an issue and would be resolved in the first update.
Well I had a search but this looks like its just for music? I am looking for Calls, Text and wireless data connection from my X1 to my Tomtom 930t.
At the mo it only supports calls

Kaiser owner with a few queries

Hi all, my first post here. I have had my Kaiser now for about 3 weeks, its going well but I have a few questions.
On my old Moto, I had a bleep that sounds every 30secs if I had a text message or missed call alert. Is there a feature like this? Its very useful.
I can't seem to find the TV or VOD in the T-zones.
Is there a quicker way of sending a text instead of doing Messaging, New, SMS etc..??
Anyone used Bluetooth Audio program to send all sound to the BT headset (like MP3s)? Handy for when I am using my mono BT headset.
Is there a program that will switch off the phone and BT overnight and back on in the morning on a sked????
My Kaiser is a UK unlocked handset all as standard.
Now just waiting for Krussel to bring a case out for it. I have e-mailed Krussel and PDA Addons but got no reply.
Thanks all for the help.
P.S Tomtom have refused to support me as they say the TyTN 2 is not a supported product.
As far as the beep on text message alert I use PhoneAlarm. It will let me set the notification time interval as well as how many times it repeats itself. I also use Kaiser Notifications by Phil_UK LED notification program to change what LED's blink for missing Texts, emails or calls.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328596
As far as TomTom goes, I called them and they say that they dont support any WM6 phones as the front line guys have not been updated on WM6 yet. I think they may want to get on that in all honesty.
And I have no idea what you are talking about here:
I can't seem to find the TV or VOD in the T-zones.

It was the 3G TV on T-zones and also their Video on Demand (VOD). Thanks for the other info.
Guys, regarding tomtom. They do support the Kaiser/TyTn 2. BUT, you must tell them that you have installed THEIR specially adapted tomtom version designed for the TyTn 2 and that your installation disk has their logo on it. It seems their staff have not been informed about this in many cases. However others who have been persistent have been successful. Ask the person to get their supervisor.
By the way the tomtom software and GPS is pretty straightforward and works well, so if there's a problem - report it in one of the GPS threads here and you may well get an answer.

Tom Tom on Vario III Questions

Apologies if these points have been raised before but ....
I have installed TomTom 6.032(8351) on my MDA Vario III and have found the following problems...
On start up, the sound is muted and requires two selections of sound on to activate it.
During a journey, an incoming call to bluetooth headset blanks the map screen, which returns at end of call.
On my MDA Compact III with an earlier version of TomTom, neither of these things happened.
Sound was on as default and maps stayed on with muted sound.
Can anyone advise a version of TomTom that works correctly on Vario III.
Is it TomTom, T-Mobile ROM or Windows Mobile 6 causing the problems....or something else?
Next time, please search the forum.
"you have to switch off the data connection before starting tomtom"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333680&highlight=tomtom+sound
Sorry about that and thanks.
Hardly a fix though as the data connection is often active.
Is this data connection affecting the map off during call as well?
As I said, it never happened on a slightly older version on my Compact III.
There is another simple workaround:
Roll the volume 'wheel' (in the left side), then the volume will be turned on.
Thanks gogol
There appaers to be a couple of threads from people not searching as well.
Still no answer to the map going off during a call.
Anyone?
Hi ericb,
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question because I always turn off the data connection if I dont use it. I only use data connection for internet browsing.
I hope other user can answer.
Hi gogol
When using TomTom, I use Traffic which uses the Internet data link so it cannot be avoided.
Never mind, thanks for your help so far.
I can't be the only person with this issue.
Someone will help I am sure.
I have the same issue, but just rolling the wheel is not a hardship, TomTom will surely fix it in the next version....

Push Email, Bluetooth headset and HTC Support!

Firstly, a big thank you to all contributors here, for the first time I thought I would contact HTC re problems with the diamond and believe me, I won't ever bother again with HTC support.
Over the years I've had many HTC devices and like many people here, have a strong understanding on subjects like push email. I just can't believe how difficult it is to talk to anyone from support areas regarding issues. I just thought HTC technical dept may be different, but sadly they are not.
The issues I have are (they have been discussed before but the threads have died with no solution)
1) Bluetooth headset, when disconnecting causes the Diamond to loose abilty to make any sound, be it ringing, alarm or music. This is random and only a soft reset cures the problem.
HTC response, Only HTC branded bluetooth devices are supported, tough!
2) Push E-mail, randomly forgets to check back with the server to see if their is a conenction and if not re-establish one. Logs show the device goes into sleep mode and is woke say 8 mins later (does change due to heartbeat interval changing) to ping server. however, its not waking. So I had a situation when the last server communication was 6am, and by the time I noticed I wasn't getting any mail 6 hours had past! Activesync on the device still show connected!!!
HTC response, clearly its your connection settings with your email. Hard reset and try again. Cant be our software.
Any ideas guys, I'm loosing the plot here. The handset is so much smaller and lighter than my kaiser, but I never had these issues.
P.S. I would never have bought another HTC device again if it wasn't for XDA. This forum has helped me so much over the years and also tought me the joys of WinMob!! HTC should be paying you guys!!
Bump:
Anyone else suffering from these problems? Push email is particularly frustrating.
I have this problem too. The answer from HTC is wrong because bluetooth is an universal standard and , is no reason to say to use only HTC bluetooth devices. Bluetooth should mean compatibility with all bluetooth devices . Another stupid answer from HTC.... Anybody to help us ...?

I currently don't use BT headset anymore. However, before using Diamond, I use the HTC Touch Elf with A2DPTOGGLE http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1626
It can switch between BT headset or speaker. I tried beforeWM will not automatically switch between them. I know there is problem using the same A2DPTOGGLE in Diamond, because it is a Today plug-in and Diamind hide the Today from TouchFLO 3D. You may try to use "Second Today" together with the A2DPTOGGLE to fix your issue.
Another issue with your pushmail (via GPRS), I constantly working with pushmail and there is no missing mail. there are 2 things you may need to take into account.
1) check your peak or non-peak time. if you need to constantly receive mail immediately in 7x24, you need to set non-peak time also "arrive immediately". something like that.
2) apperantly, WM will save battery when device in sleep mode, WI-FI will deactivated. if you use WI-FI to work with pushmail, you may need some registry settings (i dunno which registry to control this) to disable such energy saving capability. Or, use normal GPRS or 3G data connectivity to test.
P.S. I hate to be the support of HTC product, but seems HTC have well-known bad after sales service.
Using adv. config. I disabled ,,joint stereo'' . I have no problems with ''no sound'' after using BT headset anymore. Can somebody else to confirm this ?

I had a similar problem with a bluetooth dongle.
Start/Settings/Connections/Beam/Recieve all incoming beams. Make sure BT filesharing is turned on the phone (if you fileshare), also make visible. BT can be spotty sometimes and these settings can be reset to default if the phone is reset.

I forgot the setting 'Receive all incoming beams' now that has been set, everything is OK. Thanks
Had the same problem. Set to visible, receive all incoming beams etc. but I could only send, not receive. I solved the problem by activating Bluetooth Explorer and Activate File sharing. Strange since I didn't have this problem with WM 6.0 and BT Explorer deactivated.

Anyone try Garmin Nuvi/Zumo BT Contact Synching

Im wondering if anyone has done a bluetooth connection between a garmin Nuvi or Zumo and their diamonds?????
I have a Garmin Zumo, and to synchronize my contacts in WM 5 and my PPC 6800 I had to send each contact individually (Yes one at a time) whereas most phones Autosynched all contacts each time the BT connection was made...my understanding was this had something to do with the bluetooth Stack on WM5 and the 6800's Bluetooth hardware...
Can anyone confirm if the Pairing of a Diamond has had better Contact Synch results? Noit a Deal Killer...Actually a bad answer makes it easier to wait for Alltel release I supose...I heard September 30 Rumors and Nov 13 for Pro...Not sure how reliable those forums were
Finally got my Alltel Diamond....
For those who lurked into this thread wondering the answer...The answer is it synchs the full contact list and recent calls list perfectly, unlike older pocketPCs...So microsoft obviously worked out the bluetooth stack issue that used to make us synch one contact at a time...WOO HOO...Love my garmin Hands free...Zumo/XM/AUDIO/Handsfree with a Diamond to BOOT
HTC Touch Diamond / Garmin nuvi 760 BT
Hi flipper44,
I recently got a Garmin nuvi 760 and it pairs fine with my HTC Touch Diamond but I don't seem to get any phonebook - ie. the phonebook option is just not shown on the Garmin.
Do you know whether only contacts that are on the SIM card will sync, or will the 'Outlook' type contacts also sync. Also, is there anything I need to do to get them to sync.
The nuvi manual seems to suggest that the Garmin should pick up my phone contacts automatically.

Are you saying there is no phonebook contact icon at all?
You could try it the old fashioned way of going into contacts...picking one and tellin g it to send via bluetooth
HTC Touch Diamond / Garmin nuvi 760 BT
The 'old fashioned' way seems to work and should be OK for my purposes as I only need to add some of my contacts.
Regarding the icon, it is not displayed (until I used method above). If I clicked on the 'Call Home' icon, for example, there would be a 'Phonebook' button, but disabled.
I moved a contact from the 'Outlook' contacts to the SIM and made sure that the Bluetooth mode had 'Allow SIM access' enabled, but even this didn't seem to work.
I may try re-pairing, otherwise I'll just push the desired contacts to the nuvi...
Strange...I have a CDMA phone....Although I had a diamond when I last synch'd...Havent been on any business trips since I got the PRO so havent bothered to go hands free yet...I'll give a bluetooth pairing a try with my PRO and let you know...But i can tell you with the diamond CDMA obviously the SIM card had nothing to do with my succesful sync
HTC Touch Diamond / Garmin nuvi 760 BT
I deleted the pairing on both my phone and the Garmin and then re-paired. This time the phone book icon was displayed but each time I went into the phonebook an hourglass was displayed - even after about 15 minutes, so I assumed that it wasn't working.
I eventually found a link to a page on Garmin's site which lists the level of bluetooth compatibility of various phones. The HTC Touch Diamond is not listed (a bit poor IMO) but phones such as the Tytn, etc. are. It seems that neither SMS or phonebook synching are supported.
I was able to select all my contacts and beam them en masse to the Garmin though - a relief that I did not have to do this one by one.
