When you say 'with the phone off' do you mean 'flight mode'?

You have to be a bit careful because putting the phone into 'flight mode' not only disables the phone, but also any BT or wi-fi so TomTom wouldn't work.

Also, with Phone off (instead of flight mode) TomTom 6 dosn't work either.

You must have phone on (and of course BT) to get TT6 work.

I use my Qtek 9100 without SIM with TT6, but i must have phone on to get working (but without connected to operator network, of course).

This isn't related to WM6, so put this question in the correct thread, this is only for WM6 related.

Yeah, BT on, phone off, and tomtom will NOT work.....Switch on phone and all is ok.....Strange.


Anyone know of a workaround- I like to drive without being interrupted by a phone call

As you can read in my last post, TT6 NEEDS phone on, there isn't a workaround for this. It's "by desing" feature

If you want drive without been interrupted, you need a PNA.

Hmm, every other phone/pda I have had this is not an issue, I don't believe you are correct. Also, I do belive you meant "design"?

Instead of switching phone off, just divert all calls to your answering machine. There are also many 3rd part apps to make this a little easier (ie. today screen plugins etc)

Yes, design

And of course i can be in an error, but if you think this is an issue, you can test very easy... put same version of TT6, in my case, TT 6.030 in other non HTC PDA with WM5 or WM6 and give us the result.

Not a valid test to put TT6 in Symbian OS or Palm. We are talking about WM5 or WM6 and Hermes PDA.

Solution

Solution:

Be sure SIM Pin is not disabled

1) Switch phone off (via commmgr).

2) Switch phone back on & when it asks pin push "cancel".

You're phone is now on, but not registered to the Network ("No Service") & TT works now with BT GPS Receiver.

Rgds.

Even easier use callfirewall 1.2 to block incoming calls or perhaps just allow your whitelist callers.
