How to connect to a BT device (GPS)

[SamuelTee]

Hey Guys,

it seems a bit like a stupid question (and maybe it is) but how do a actually connect my s730 to a ... lets say GPS Bluetooth receiver?

I read the manual ... I got the two devices paired.

Everythings fine. Until it says that I am connected to the receiver. The problem is, I am not. At least the receiver says so.

Until last week a had a Asus P525 (WM5 PPC). It was no problem to get a connetion. I paired the devices ONCE, activated BT and chose connect on the paired device everytime I needed it. Unlike WM5 PPC there is nothing like "connect now" anywhere. It seems like I have to re-pair the devices everytime. But that can't be right.

Thanks in advance,
Samuel

With some GPS programs, after you have paired, you need to create a com port over the connection. Did you do this?
With Tomtom 5.2, you do not need that. It just finds the device as soon as it is paired.
Hope that helps

I have TomTom 6 installed. And it says that I have to connect the device. On my WM5 PPC I used Navigon MobileNavigator 6 and had no problems at all. MN|6 found the device itself. Maybe its TomTom which causes the problems.

Sorry I can't help. Since I learned that TT6 was not suported on smartphones, I gave up any plan on upgrading. 5.2 is enough for me.

Did you disable Bluetooth explorer?

Yes, it is disabled. I tried Efficasoft's GPS Utilities and these CAN connect to the receiver ... and get a lock.

What bothers me, is that there seems to be no real bluetoth manager on the s730. It would be great to get the Broadcom Bluetooth Manager to work.
