Done on an Asus A620BT, and this magic regkey also works for a Socket BT GPS... Many thanks, this would have been very helpful last week while trekking in the grand canyon... OK for TomTom, but too late try it with Follow Me (only 7 days for free ;^)

If you were out trekking in the Grand Canyon then something you should have taken with you was Memory-Map together with the Maptech National Park map set.

This configuration would have given you 1:100,000 and 1:24,000 scale topo maps to use for navigation.

Too late ;^)
But I plan for a 4 days snowbyke trip in Canada (February 2004)... Time now to plan for more tools...

Thanks, Pierre

Downloaded the PHM reg editor from downloads and made the reg change, works perfectly with my 2210 and rikaline x7. As soon as i'm in range, the GPS receiver turns on and gets a fix, when i'm out of range, it disconnects its self. Doesnt even annoy you by giving pop up messages or anything.

I just did exactly what lbendlin said:

1) Use the registry edit program

2) Find the registry key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BtConfig\Autoconnect\000x

(000x is 0008 for com8 )



3)Add a DWORD entry under this key:

BtBrowserEnabled=0


Dont know much about pocket pc's myself, or what i was doing Rolling Eyes but it worked out ok

Please, please, please can somebody give blow by blow instructions. I'm a total newcomer to the PC.

I've downloaded the regedit prog onto my desktop so what the hell do I do with it now?

It won't run on the PC and I don't know how to transfer it to my iPaq.

PostPosted: Fri Dec 19, 2003 1:46 pm    Post subject: regedit help please Reply with quote

I have managed to get a regedit programme and located the following:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BtConfig\Autoconnect\000x

Not sure of what to do next, I have the 0008 highlighted, can go edit, which brings up: New Key, New String, New Binary, New DWORD etc etc. I take it I choose new DWORD Value:

Then have a new screen, with value name, value data: Base Binary, Decimal Hexdecimal etc.

Where do I enter the “BtBrowserEnabled=0” and in what format.

Not sure what I’m doing here so some complete instructions would be very helpful. I am running PC2003 on an IPAQ 2210 and keep getting that annoying popup manager asking for connection!

Thanks for the help.

It sounds like you're nearly there. It should be as simple as creating a DWORD value called BtBrowserEnabled in the appropriate key if such a value doesn't already exist. Set that value to 0 (it doesn't matter whether you enter that as Hexadecimal, Decimal or Binary - it's still 0).

Finally cracked it. :D

That's the way it SHOULD have come out of the box.

Thanks to those cleverer than me for pointing me in the right direction.

I have been reading with interest these threads and follow the techniques for avoiding the loop. TT have made me upgrade to 2.09 saying it would cure the problem - it did'nt.

As a consequence I am also concerned about having upgraded to 2.09 I may have done more harm than good for any future BT comms products I buy.

Is it possible to plan offline without the BT running ?

I am a relative novice and have no idea how to modify the registry as suggested. Is there a step by step guide to doing this. Does this mean BT is not running ?

Steve, I already gave you information in your original thread here. If you only post your message once, not only does it help people in replying to you, but it helps you find your original message and the replies to it!

Posting multiple messages doesn't actually mean you'll get an answer quicker, in-fact it puts people off (and staff off) answering your messages because they know you aren't going to read them because you are going to miss the replies.
