I had RC33,
and upgraded (imo) to Cyanogen.
Im trying to pair with my tomtom G630, but no luck.
the phone sees the tomtom, shows as "paired but not connected"
the tomtom doesent even detect the phone though, despite the phone bluetooth being set to discoverable.
It worked fine before.
any ideas?
From what I know, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen mod fully supports all the BT features, maybe you got a bad flash. Check the md5sum and if its not right delete the file off your computer and redownload and wipe, wipe ext2, repair ext2 and wipe then flash.
man, i hope that's not it, everything else works absolutely perfect, tethering works beautifully.
Im more inclined to blame the damn tomtom than the G1 LOL
haha
Yeah, I use an app called CoPilot but its expensive so I recommend AndNav2
Its not that bad =]
I already bought the tom, and have updated the maps already once, so ive sunk about $400 into it, its not getting replaced any time soon.
Im racking my brain, but there just really isnt anywhere to go on this.
If i set the phone to be discoverable and run a scan with my laptop, boom its found, almost instantly.. So the phone IS discoverable, just not by the tomtom.
Ok, so now things have swerved far into the retarded lane.
My Macbook can detect the G1 just fine.
If I set the macbook to be discoverable, the tomtom will find it just fine.
so the G1 is boradcasting and can be discovered, and the tomtom is trying to detect and is detecting other discoverable devices..
but not the G1.

AH HA!!!
got it!
the trick (if you can call it that) was to do "connect to bluetooth device" not the scan for phone option.
WELL CRAP
I still cannot use tomtom traffic, says the G1 is not capable of wireless data or something to that effect.
poop.
aww haha, hmm maybe TomTom will update or a dev will code something to help out.
not sure, I don't have a car nor a tomtom lol
Please don't take this as me flaming, but did you say "Maybe TomTom will update their code"? No way! They are lazy when it comes to that, even when you have purchased their top of the line products, they just don't care. It is take it or leave it when it comes to their stuff. I had more luck working with Parrot, Cardo, and a few other companies who actually wanted to help make their products work, or at least listened to work-around ideas to help implement them.
I am stuck with a TomTom Rider 2nd edition for my 2 wheeled ride and it hates my G1 phone, all TomTom says is to deal with it or to get an older phone from their list of phones that are known to work. I even offered to pay for a new map upgrade and they said it was not enough. BTW, I had 2 GO910 models and they both took a crap in the first week. I had to fight with Circuit City to rectify the problem (even with the extended warranty). I ended up getting my money back since TomTom blamed me for having a car with a tight suspension and was not willing to fix the unit. This was on a Chrysler 300M with the touring package. When they told me that line I laughed so hard that I cried! Next time I'll get a GPS from a different company or just try the TeleNav program on the G1. I wish Google Maps read out turn by turn directions and stuff.
If you know linux, you might want to just try to hack into the GPS and work that puppy till it begs to connect to your phone.

Hi,
I wonder if there`s any possibilities to moderate/hack Fujitsu Pocket LOOX N100 which has a Windows CE 5 core. The device has a Samsung 300 MHz processor, and 64 MB internal memory. Navigon 6 is installed and the manufacturer says the device is "locked". So would it be possible to hack this device so that it could be used with f.ex TomTom and TCPMP?
I know this is not a phone/pocket pc, but i pray for help anyways
I have tried to hack it. But without any results. There is no active sync, so you can't hack the registry. I made a dump of the update (1.16.0). I can play play Pacman on my own device .....
I know what I want to change, but I can't build a nieuw image for the moment. I'm working on it, but it is a bit difficult!
I did it!
But, I can't deploy the picture yet!

Any interesting mods for the N100 out yet? How to unlock it is already known, see here: http://www.mediafire.com/?celjlwwzbb1
Hey, it is even a HTC Device...
Especially, any idea how to upgrade the GPS firmware? Using the GPSROUTER command of the boot loader + SirfFlash doesnt work for me, and any of the gps update programs of other WinCE devices dont seem to do the trick either. Im stuck... too bad, from my Loox T830 I already know which firmware I would like to have...

By the way, since some people seem to be still trying:
I did some analysis a while ago on my N100, and I think one main point is that whatever baud rate you set SirfFlash to, it will change to 115.200 in the process. So this is why the GPSROUTER doesn't work I guess.
I was almost (?) as far as being able to at least read the firmware by using this method:
- Find RX and TX lines on the N100 mainboard
- Disconnect them from the system
- Find the TTL level RX and TX lines on a PC mainboard (before the chip that changes the serial voltage +/-12V!)
- connect N100/PC: TX-RX and RX-TX
- connect an oscilloscope to the lines to listen what's up
This is where I found with the oscilloscope that whatever baud rate I set, it seems the SirfFlash always changes to 115.200 after the first initial contact to the chip.
Unfortunately then I was very dumb and destroyed the com port on the used mainboard by creating a short circuit - and that was the end of my trials. The N100 is working Ok, still, after re-connecting the RX and TX lines.
If anyone is interested I might post some pictures about where to find RX and TX on the N100 mainboard later.
Just in case anyone is still trying: Somehow it seems to me that all my experiments to flash update the GPS firmware in the N100 seemed to fail due to baud rate issues. Tracing the serial communication I saw that every time after uploading the data that is supposed to set up the GPS chip to accept the firmware files, the baud rate of the transmissions from the chip side would be at some different value than originally set up. So always the "answers" would not be understood by the PC used for programming. There seems to be no baud rate at which to set up the PC so that the communication works later on. I gave up now, and use the N100 only sporadically anyway...
Long time bump. Just picked one of these up at good will for 1 dollar!!! Don't even know if it works. But I noticed that the plug is not the same as a reg old school USB. Does it use an standard USB? If not are plugs still available? And #2 there was no SD card in it are the maps that were on the USB available?

I have been dreaming about the HTC Shift so much I could not wait. I bought this HP Tx1001Au tablet until I can get my hands on one.

The touch screen is perfect. It works the same way as a ppc but requires a firmer touch to activate. The touch screen software (I think provide by HP not vista) is done to perfection. In the past i have found tablets unusable because of the rigmarole of entering text on a regular basis. This baby knows exactly what I want to do before I do. The sip can be a keyboard or word recognition. The word recognition is light years ahead of what we get on windows mobile devices. I can write naturally in running writing at my speed in a messy way and it almost always gets it correct. When it gets something wrong it can be edited on the fly without having to go back and re-write the text.
The processor (AMD Turion 64 bit x 2 core at 2 Ghz ) is capable of matching all my needs. The ram is a low 1Gb but I will buy 2Gb in the next few weeks.
The finger print scanner makes password storage and use convenient (if you trust Verisign).
The wifi is also done well. It connects to my network in around 2-3 seconds, a lot faster than my other machines running XP.
The one big downer is the overhead that Vista ladens the system with. This machine operates almost exactly the same as my last computer and that was only 1.2 Ghz. The extra 800Mhz is swallowed up by vista and all its paranoid DRM obsession. The aero desktop also slows it down considerably as does the user account control. If I turn off aero and UAC the thing noticeably jumps in speed and becomes generally more responsive in every aspect from tap recognition to opening files.
Vista has also crippled many of my favorite programs. PeerGardian2 the best privacy tool around does not work at all in vista, leaving windows free to phone home any time I connect to the internet. UAC stops programs such as WinRar from integrating into the shell correctly, another reason to turn off UAC.
Definitely worth buying and compares well with other similarly priced laptops.
Please send it to me.
one cool thing is that vista hooks up with my hermes bluetooth so seamlessly.
I just had to push a few buttons then type *99# and I was online. My phone has a faster connection than my home ISP. I am posting this using my 3 connection and writing in cursive using word recognition. It has not got one word wrong so far.
The only negative using the phone as a modern is that if I let the power go off it crashes after about 5 minutes and requires a reset. That kind of sucks because it means the screen chews through power faster even if the back light is off
If this is the future of mobile devices then PPC will be dead within a few years. kind of sad.
Well I am kind of drooling here, stuck with my poor P4 2.8 / 512MB.
Then again I am don't have to go anywhere near vista. (In fact yesterday I installed Ubuntu and now waiting to see if it really can replace the XP, probably not since I need eVC 4 and VS 6)
Still great gadget! Have fun with it and who knows - maybe HP will take a hint from Dell and drop Vista as well.
If you like this thingy, you're not going to like the Shift. It's stuck with a rather lame VIA processor, which your Turion DC outperforms by tens of times. The only thing you'll love the Shift for is that it'll have a better battery life compared, and the phone stuff is built-in.
(And worse still is that the Shift "rocks" Vista. If XP can only run *decent* on a VIA C7M 1.0, I can only imagine what Vista will do to it.)
OMG these are so hot on the market right now!
My Tilt is crazy, and is driving me nuts. I am hoping someone here could diagnose and help me fix the problem.
I've had this phone for about 2-3 months now. I've been running Sleuth 1.2 ROM, with Radio 1.27.12.11.
Once in a while ActiveSync (I use it via USB) would not connect, something that normally was resolved by a soft reset on the Tilt, or a reboot on the PC, or both.
Last week I installed the Daylight Savings Time update that Microsoft distributed in March. I don't know if that caused any problems or not, but the point is that later on the Tilt could not get the AT&T phone signal (it was showing no service), but still could get the data connection (3G in my area). This happened after a failed ActiveSync session.
After reinstalling the ActiveSync on the PC, soft reseting the phone, trying to sync via wireless, I gave up, did a hard reset, and restored a backup made before the DST update. Everything worked, but the Tilt became extremely slow. The screens were sluggish.
I then did another hard reset, installed first the DST patch, tested the phone and everything was ok. Then I reinstalled all my programs. Everything worked perfectly, the phone was fast, ActiveSync was working ok. It stayed that way for about 1-2 weeks, until today.
Today, when I first connected the phone to the PC via USB, as usual it went through the ActiveSync process, then Sprite Backup kicked in, did its usual resets, backed up, and at the last reset after the backup was completed, ActiveSync gave me the "can't connect" error message.
The signal indicator shows no phone reception (but I get data transmission through 3G and through my router), after each reset an error message pops on the screen for a fraction of second and vanishes, no allowing me time to read anything, and the calendar and the contacts don't open. Mail opens ok but it isn't updating. When I try to open ActiveSync on the Tilt, it flashes and vanishes.
I did a couple of soft resets, tried to use safe mode, but nothing seems to resolve the problem.
I don't want to restore the backup and get the bad performance again, and I would rather not have to reinstall all my programs without knowing what is going on, as I am afraid it will keep on happening over and over again.
I would appreciate ANY help or suggestions.
Thank you

That is not exactly the kind of help I was looking for...
I'm having same problem and cannot find a solution. My phone is dead to me. Can't open contacts, calendar, activesync, or make any phone calls.
ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
didnt really read the whole thing cuz theres just too much all together...use paragraphs next time but maybe a new flash either your current rom or a new one..
I today started having the same problem for the 1st time. Tilt is 4 months old using the latest rom provided not a cooked one yet. Have several additions and apps added to the phone. I can access the web and sms/mms, and all data but no cell signal and no access to certain programs or my contacts. AT&T tells me it's a device issue and they would have to send me a new on some time next week and i need my phone for work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
For those of you who are having this problem i performed a HARD RESET, and then a restore and it corrected my problem
Hello! I used my Diamond inflight (from cockpit B-737) using NAVGPSpro 4.5 its didnt work , but on the ground i can use all my GPS programms. I have tried to switch ON/OFF phone, soft reset, started all my programms but.....
Could someone help me please? Why Diamond dosent work inflight?
P.S. Glofiish X900 working well. And sorry for my english, i am from Russia
I am no expert, but are you maybe travelling too fast for the Diamond GPS to lock on?
You need to have an extra satellite fix for aviation software to give you your altitude.
But X900 working excellent. What are restriction to use Diamond GPS? I didnt find its. NAVGPSpro is special programm for aviation. And one more: sometimes i have had successful attempts.

i'm gonna go with this answer, it sounds cooler.
I've tried Diamond inFlight using IGO8, TOMTOM7 also OZIExplorer and it worked fine. It takes some time to find satelites for the first time.
Possible that the heating elements in the windows are limiting the GPS reception? Do your 737s have the eyebrow windows?

I am agree with you about first time but further attempts after several time unsuccessful. I can observe just 1 or 2 satellites not more
What version of radio do you have?

1.May be but X900 working well.
2. No they are closed by panels
i was able to get the GPS Cycle Computer to work, but with no altitude measurement. top speed = 503 mph
tomtom 7 would not work. waited several minutes, no sat lock.
isnt this illegal??
radio communication is supposed to fk up the flight instruments n stuff.
if that was true then every osama fu*kstick wanna be would be bringing down planes just by turning on the gps. the fact is back in the 70's and 80's there was a problem with interference but the technology is better now so its not really a problem any more.
GPS is passive-recieve-only, its based on a bunch of satellites sending accurate timestamps to you for triangulation. So no, it won't **** up nav systems any more than listening to the radio.

On the next picture, the altitude profile show some gap (i put some pink in the image): 6 500m to 3 500m in one second.
Those gap appear also on the map : the step on the red trace.
I've got no explaination for those gaps:
My flight was at 4 000m or my descend is stronger than the altitude profile show.
I'm not sure it is safe to trust the altitude given by the GPS in a plane.

That's the common misconception.
It is illegal for passengers to leave on radio communication devices during a flight. However in most cases its harmless.
I remember reading that only a few frequencies which do interfere with aviation communication. and these frequencies are NOT currently being used by ANY mobile phone networks.
Haha, i do love it though when i play with my Diamond on the airplane while having it on flight mode, and people around me are like staring.... and thinking OMFG THAT DUDE IS A TERRORIST HE HAS HIS PHONE ON!!!!!!! I even had a old couple remind me that i have to turn off my phone.... haha very amusing.

hello guys, im sorry to bother you all. i recently purchased a 8925 and im trying to setup the built in gps, i have no prior experience in this, so please bare with me. I have rom PC Ultimate v19 and radio 1.70.19.09 I have hardspl 3.29 and sim unlocked for use with T-mobile. If someone could help me out i would really appreciate it.
All the help you need is right up there on the search button. There is also a nub wiki in my signature or the normal wiki list up top.
That is all the info in the world regarding this phone and anything you want to know about it. The knowledge is there but you have to gain it.
If we were in the matrix it was be easy to download it all into your head.

well i did already search and what i basically found was to use quick gps and other simialr programs to speed up the search for satellites. I tried chagning the com ports as well as the baud rates and still no luck. what i was wondering is whether that radio i am using is incompatible or something? sorry again thanks in advance

Yeah so your post doesn't really outline problems. You really just state what you have and that you want help with gps.
Whats wrong with the gps?
I'm sure someone will disagree but if your phone is taking calls with no problems, playing music, taking nice photos (nice for the kaiser/tilt), and has decent battery life then you have a compatible radio.
I actually don't think the radio has anything to do with the GPS because it's 2 different antennas. (considering your phone can be off and still use GPS)
That was a long shot there.
as for radio roms, it is sort of hit or miss, the rom thread should have a suggestion of which radios to use and the rest is trial and error.
GPS takes a while on all the kaisers.
id first like to say i really appreciate your help, i dont mean to come off as a lazy bastard who wants others to do all the leg work. im just very frustrated because i cant seem to get anything to work. the problem is nothing is finding a lock. there are no sats found, at all. ive tried gmaps, windows live, gps test, quick gps, turbo gps, quick position and none of these help to get a lock. any ideas? thanks in advance
You really should be posting this over on the PDA V19 thread, there are more people to help you there. V19 is brand new and everyone over there is working together to tweak it. Abu. added a few GPS apps to this rom and would be more able to tell you how they work.
before i had this rom i had the phoenix rom installed, and it had teh same problem, which is why i thought it may be the radio.

I doubt it is the radio, but it only takes a few minutes to flash a radio. Just take a Saturday and a bunch of 6.1 compatible radios and start testing.
It probably has more to due with your area, clear view of the sky, GPS setting and patience .
ok so i just tried this program GPS gate and it solved my problem, thank you so much for all your help, i greatly appreciate it!
