Problem pairing with bluetooth GPS

[Guest Fjatle]

Hi.

I have an Qtek 8310, and recently got a GPS receiver "Holux GPSlim 236"

The thing is, to get the phone and the GPS to pair, is a nightmare!!

*Here is what I do. turn on my GPS, and wait til it starts "bluetooth-blinking"

*Set my phone-BT to ON.

*Start searching for other units to pair.

All I end up with is "No other units is found".

I try to put by phonebluetooth, to off, and on again, but still no result .

Then one time, I sat my phoneBT to "Visible". that actually did the trick.... but for that one time only..

I started TomTom, and everything worked...

So to check that it would work every time, I set it all of (exit tomtom, turn off phoneBT and turned off GPS)

When I now put my GPS back on, started tomtom, They didn't speak. Went to phoneBT-settings to check

if there were any contact. NOPE IT WASN'T!!

So then back on, try to pair them without ANY result... My phone just wont find the GPS again..

-----------------------------------------

Any ideas anyone??

May it be the GPS is F***??

Is there any trick to make this work??

Help would be great :)

Well, now I have tried to test my phoneBT with other units.

Nokia 6230, a laptop with BT, My Qtek 8310, the GPS.

I tested who could find each other, and who couldn't.

Laptop found Nokia (vice verca, Nokia found laptop)

Laptop found GPS (!!)

Nokia didn't find GPS (but it only support BT headset, so maybye its logic?)

So, the schocking results:

NO ONE found my Qtek, and vice verca, my Qtek didn't find anything.

This was testet both with my Qtek BT set to "on" and "visible".

So I guess the problem is not the GPS, but my freakin phone!!

What is mystical here is (as you see from my starting thread) I sometimes

actually DID find my GPS with my Qtek.

Ergo, the phone BT ain't comletly dead, it's just VERY unstable..

So my question is now, What can I do to make my BT up&go???

I REALY want to be navigated (altough it's just for fun :)
