gps disconnects after a call using a bluetooth headset! help!

[Guest wilfy]

I am running Tomtom 5.21, gps driver 1.20 on my vario and it all works great most of the time except when i hang up a call when using my bluetooth headset. When the call terminates, my gps also disconnects from the phone meaning I have to restart tom tom to get it working again! Tom tom carries on working fine whilst the phone call is active and good old jane shuts her mouth as she should do when I'm talking. It's just ending the call that's the problem.

Anybody else seen this before. A previous install of tom tom 5 used to work fine until it started to make my vario reboot randomly (oh the joys!)

Cheers

I've got exactly the same problem except i don't have to restart Tom Tom. The GPS signal is usually only lost for a few minutes if not less. It's as if disconnecting the phone call from the headset disconnects the bluetooth GPS as well, but mine always recovers soon enough. Not great when your in the middle of Bristol trying to find your way out though!

Hi ant.

What I meant by outgoing bluetooth port was that in the phones bluetooth settings (in comm manager) you have to set a port for outgoing bluetooth connections. when i set up my gps device to the same port as this it worked fine.

Hi,

Yeah, I knew what you meant. But I was wrong, I'd set it to port 7. Changed it to port 6 now, but can't be bothered to go out to the car and get my GPS! So I'll test it tonight!
