I`ve just bought a Polstar PBT111 to go with my M2000 pda phone and when i first fired up everything worked fine and they were on speaking terms, when i next went to use them they totally ignored each other and no matter what i do they just won`t recognise the other`s existence. Anyone got any ideas or can someone tell me what the settings should be. thanks in advance, Dennis.

give the receiver a good whack (ie take out the batteries and let it sit for a while) or do a factory reset. That did help with mine. Then BT implementation on the Polstar receiver seems to be a bit flaky

I`ll give it a go, funny thing is it works fine with my laptop, and i`m using a Belkin b/t usb dongle !!
btw, how do you do a factory reset on the Polstar ?
thanks, Dennis.

Excellent question. This beast has a Sony chipset so you need a special tool for that. On your CD there should be a program called "PDATester" and probably a PC version too. You can't do a factory restart but at least a cold start with that one.

I didn`t get a cd with the receiver and the seller is not answering emails, teach me to buy off ebay, i`ve downloaded pdatester but with no instructions i`m lost. I`ve no idea what com port or any other settings should be. In bluetooth manager when i doubleclick on the polstar:spp slave icon and click on connect i get --- unable to establish a connection,please make sure the device is enabled and in range,also verify that the rquested service is available.

Hi,

Did you get it sorted?

I've also got an Orange SPV M2000 and I ordered one of those GPS yesterday, probably from the same ebay seller - he should be shipping it today.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian, the answer is no, it is nothing to do with the gps, the problem as far as i can see is with the M2000 and getting it to work with bluetooth. I can get the receiver to work with my laptop.

Hi,

Ah, ok.

Have you tried upgrading to the later rom versions around at xda-developers.com with the latest bluetooth stuff (3900).

Hi,

You can upgrade just the bluetooth easily:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18215

..but you might want to consider upgrading everything if you dont mind hard resetting and re-installing everything:

What are the advantages of the full upgrade, is it a worthwhile ex. ?

Hi,

I upgraded to 1.40 the other day and everything seems generally smoother and slicker.
