Bluetooth 3.10 update Warning

If you are using a blackberry pearl 8100 with a Nuvi (i've got the 610T), DO NOT update the bluetooth driver, it fixes the phone disconnecting issue, but breaks the transfer of the address book.
i've placed a call with Garmin to see if they can come up with any ideas.

so does anyone know if i rollback out of 3.10 if so how and where can i get 3.00

thanks

Note - its now sorted - see my post below

OK,

its sorted...... downgraded firmware to 2.80 and found still had the same issue - not transfer of address book.

went through exercise of checking phone and nuvi several times. and found that on the blackberry, there was a group in the address book - removed the group, retried syncing the address book and it worked

so if you have a Blackberry Pearl and a Nuvi - remove all groups from the address book, it should then work.

apologies for the initial post, but i had spent about 3 hours trying to get it to work.

Phil, thanks for the links it helped me troubleshoot the problem

cheers

Thank you for this thread. I was able to downgrade to 3.00 on my Nuvi 760. It is the same procedure to force the update.

I was running Bluetooth SW Version 3.10 last week.

Garmin sent me a new 3.10 to fix the Phone Disconnect issue and lo and behold when i check now my Phone Book says "No Data Available". Nokia 6880. This may not be the version available on the WebUpdater.

However i then downgraded to the old 3.10 and the Phone Book is back. Re-updated to the new 3.10 and the Phone Book is fine..... Rolling Eyes

Oh and it doesn't fix the Phone Disconnect problem either. Admittedly it's less frequent but not fixed.

I replaced the file as well and restarted the unit.

I am not sure if it was required, but I manually forced the update. Whatever it does.

I pressed and hold 'Moving Avg' on the Speedometer screen to display the hidden menu screens. Pressed 'Next' until I got the 'Bluetooth Status' screen and choosed "Updt" to manually reload the firmware.

It would be nice to try your new 3.10 bluetooth FW if you can post it somewhere.

Thanks

This time, I tried 2.80 just by replacing the file but it was still 3.00. I did the forced update and I waited many seconds until the process completed. It was definitively moving this file content somewhere. After that, I got v2.80.

I read in another post that Garmin itself told someone to force the update that way. Strange they did not tell you... ???

Still no lock with pairing, though...

ok, I did it! I feel a bit dumb, but you tell me.

I cannot ask the Nuvi to scan for the phone. That does not work with my Samsung. Today i just had a flash and I asked the phone to scan for the Nuvi. It worked!

All this time, I was scanning for the phone on the Nuvi. I could see all the other phones at the office, but never my phone. It was clear to me this was the thing to do. Why try something else...

Conclusion: the next guy that has a problem pairing his phone with his GPS, tell him to try the other way around.

Cheers!
