Sorry, meant to paste the text too (I can't edit my own post?):

Dont know if this has already been mentioned regarding TomTom loosing bluetooth connection.
It seems TomTom manages its own paired bluetooth devices and in some cases will conflict with those devices already paired by the phones manager.
The best way to pair bluetooth devices when using TomTom to prevent loss of connectivity when using Nokia N70 is:

Delete all bluetooth devices in the phones connectivity manager. Start TomTom.
Use TomTom's manager to pair the device.
Exit TomTom.
Open the phones connectivity manager and you may see the GPS device listed.
Delete this device again.
Start TomTom and you will notice that the GPS device still exists. Pair this device and TomTom should work fine, no disconnections.
***You must delete the device after pairing for the first time in the phones default connectivity manager***
Obviously if the device exists in 2 seperate connectivity tables, there must be either a conflict or a problem sharing the device.

Try this and let me know if you have any joy.
I used to get disconnected every 10-15 minutes. Since doing this, no more loss of connectivity.

I have had the same problems and thought I had solved my problems. Here's all the answers in one place.

1. Before you do anything else, get your N70 firmare updated to version 3.0546.2.3 (you can do this at ny Nokia services centre, or call your netwrok provider- TomTom state that the N70 using this firmware version should work)

2.As per other posts, you should NOT let the Nokia N70 pair your bluetooth GPS device. You should let TomTom do it. Here's how I did this:-

1. Delete all current bluetooth pairings on your phone Go to Bluetooth?Paired devices then options then select "delete all".

2. Now re-boot your phone (this is crucial as unless you do this, the N70 will 'remember' all previous paired devices and ask you to pair it again when you next switch on the receiver! Once you've re-booted the phone the N70 loses all this data after you have deleted all pairings)

3. Switch on your GPS receiver

4. Go into tomtom, select Change preferences, then go to "Show GPS Status", select "Configure" then if you use a non TT receiver, select other and let TT search for and pair the device. You may also get a message from TT asking you to let your smartphone or PDA pair the device, but ignore this and click continue. Once you can see the unit is connected, selct 'Done'

5. Now exit TT

6. Now go to Bluetooth then pairings. You may find the GPS device is listed there. If it is, delete it.

7. Now re-boot your phone again.

8. Now start totmotom, it may ask you do you want to accept connection from your bluetooth receiver, select yes. That should be it.

9. Now!! You should find the thing will work. But for those of you who still have problems, remove all your POI's, including speed cameradatabes pr pocket GPS speed camera POI's and you should be OK

I don't know if someone has already written it (I don't want to read all the story).
I've got a Window Mobile 5 based Smartphone (SPV C600) and Nokia LD-3W (SirfStar III GPS Receiver) and it couldn't work with TT5 (5.20).
Interestingly enough there were absolutly no problems with MS Pocket Streets so I could see that all the hardware is working properly.
The only thing that helped was to set the name of GPS Receiver (during the pairing process) to "BT GPS" and it's working without any problems Smile

Maybe this is the solution for you. Of course you also have to set COM ports.
You can also try setting the name to "TomTom Wireless GPS".

Got my N70 handsets back from MobileFunShop.co.uk with latest v5 firmware. GPS came in post yesterday. Setup TT to do the pairing as per the instructions above, all seems to be fine. Noticed a couple of things though...

When I check Bluetooth Pairings with the phone in the house, and Bluetooth switched off, there are none. Nothing to rename "TomTom GPS" etc. Doesn't seem to stop the phone picking up the GPS but should this be the case? My routine is to power GPS on first, wait 30 seconds until I've driven to the main road, then start TomTom. Does the pairing vanish if inactive? I didn't think this was the case.

Does the bluetooth gps (Mine is this one) have to be less than about 5 feet away from the phone to keep the integrity of the link? I had a few dropouts with the phone on my lap and the gps on the dash yesterday, but none this morning.

Also tried adding some Favourites to TomTom (5.2) and was wondering how to spell Joe Bloggs etc. with a capital J and B? Seems to be a bit hit and miss. Nothing in the manual I could find about entering capital letters. Not a big problem, but being a pedant, it looks a bit naff to me.

Any feedback appreciated.

Answering the last one myself: The captial letter thing is a bug.

Yes I do have a reliable sat nav program on a Nokia N70. Like many it is TT5 Mobile. Unreliable until I got v3 firmware.

One thing I am pretty sure affects reliability is if I run TT to lookup something without connecting to the GPS receiver. Then next time I run TT with GPS receiver it will drop connection quickly.

lucky you...

I've got V5 firmware and it still freezes, and yes, I've tried all the 'fixes' mentioned in this thread

if it wasn't just a case of pressing the hangup button then the media button to restart TT I'd have binned it by now... roll on Auguest so I can upgrade this cack phone

Re Nokia N70 gps Problems

I have had my n70 for a couple of weeks now and like most people here have been banging my head against a brick wall trying to get TT5 working for longer than 10 minutes without loosing gps signal .. I have found that previous advice on Pairing to Help.. But The Most IMPORTANT thing is to run TT5 on your phone BEFORE you switch on the gps receiver..

When you initially turn on your receiver it spends around 10 seconds initialising the bluetooth connection, pairing with your phone..
this i have found creates a stable connection between the two devices
I have Had it working for a couple of hours now with no problems so remember...

Switch ON the GPS AFTER you have TT5 running on your Phone
