Problems pairing with GPS

[vma]

Hi,

I had an old ROM release on my Qtek 9090 and with it my GPS Bluetooth device worked fine.

Yesterday I got myself a Parrot EasyDrive and it would not connect to my Qtek 9090. It would however work fine with my 2 Nokias.

So I decided to finally (after one year) upgrade my Qtek and I used the 1.42 ROM from this site.

No the Parrot EasyDrive works fine, but my GPS receiver has this annoying problem: whenever I want to use the GPS receiver, the pairing window opens up, asking for the passkey (1234). The problem is, that it won't keep it, no matter what I do.

I tried to remove the GPS-Device in the Bluetooth manager and I deleted the pairing partnership. Then I made a new connection with pairing, etc.

After turning Bluetooth off, the pairing information is lost.

Meanwhile, the Parrot Easy Drive carkit works fine.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
vma

Well, I ended up solving the problem myself...

While messing with the registry to remove the operator branded dialpad of the new ROM I installed, I managed to mess up my Qtek 9090 and lost the screen alignment. Because of that, I could not access the lower part of the screen anymore, thus it became impossible to realign the screen.

As stupid as it might seem, I had to do a hardreset at end, otherwise the device was useless (Side-question: is there any shortcut to get the screen alignment for the Blue Angel?).

After doing the hardreset and after re-installing all applications again, I paired both the carkit and the GPS receiver without problems.

It seems that if the pairing goes wrong the first time, one has problems afterwards. Would be nice to know how to really reset all connections without having to do a hardreset.

For all of you that went through the pain of reading my two posts:

I purchased an Parrot EasyDrive carkit, which was on sale for 35 Euro. It is a device that plugs into the carlighter and that has voice recognition.

I then passed new cables for Ground and 12V from the lighter to under the steering wheel and attached them to the speaker part of the carkit.

The result is a proper Bluetooth carkit with voice recognition (you say "telephone" and then the name and the carkit dials the number on the phone - all contacts have to be send one by one from the phone's contact list through Bluetooth and then you train the name twice - memory holds 200 contacts), where you just see the little knob with the two buttons - for just 35 Euro!

I say, that's an excellent deal!
