have an ipaq 4150 with tt 5.1 .. Everything is normally fine but ocasionally the screen goes into night setting mode and at the same time I loose the GPS signal ( blootooth ) 8O . Is this a way that TT indicates loss of signal ?? I beleive I have found out why the signal was lost .. had my mobile next to the GPS receiver .. I guess this would Interfere with the signal ?? any ideas
Next question  seems that I always have to go into bluetooth manager and activate the bluetooth connection .. I would have thought this should happen automatically ?? Am I doing something wrong ..
Thanks in advance for any help given 
Cheers

Tomtom 5 automatically greys out when signal is lost, could you be mistaking this for night mode?
The way I set my 4150 in motion is to activate tomtom, then turn the bluetooth reciever on. It is usually up and running in seconds.

The change from colour to mono screen, indicates a loss of useable sat signal.

GPS signals are incredibly weak - at the surface of the earth the signal is equivalent to the energy recieved from a 25 watt light bulb at a distance of 10,000 miles! It does not take much secondary radiation to blank that out. |
