Bluetooth Handsfree still a non-starter on 540

Drudeboy · Occasional Visitor Joined: Nov 19, 2005 Posts: 45

On my previous 520, the BT hands free never worked properly, crashed the device completely with the last word the other person said repeating endlessly.

Now on my 540 the same problem exist making handfree unusable

TT support useless as ever replying with stock answers about compatible handsets (even though I clearly stated my phone was on the compatible list), how to reset the device, the usual unhelpful rubbish

I'd like to hear from people with the same problem.

I'm sick of TT advertising these wonderful devices that work flawlessly when in actual fact there are bug ridden and have features that don't actually work

The fact is does not work on two different TT devices most likely means the problem lies with the bluetooth implementation on your handset. There seems a great difference between handsets in the way they handle bluetooth.

If you post your handset type on here there may be some others who have the same handset and TT and can comment.

I have used bluetooth hands free on a Nokia N70, N73, N95, 6680, 6230i and an HP 614c windows mobile handset. All have had the same problems. I have used about 3 different BT headsets with all of these with no problems.

Do you find it works ok?

530 & 940 Work perfectly with old Sony T630s & T610 and Nokia 6300 (think thats the number).

People find it hard to hear me when using a HTC-S710 neither TT will read or recognise text messages from it.

Do you know someone with a sony ericsson you can try, almost the entire range are compatible with TT. If it works, there is your answer.

I used my 740 with my Nokia 6288 perfectly for the 5 days i had it. No problems and much, much clearer (at both ends) than my other sat nav...

I have a Go 540 and a Sony Ericsson W910i. I get intermittent problems when using handsfree, including the ones experienced by Drudeboy. Also, I am finding that the bluetooth does not always pair with my handset when I switch the device on. I have to power down the phone and restart it or reset my TomTom. I have tried performing a factory reset to my device but the problem persists.

I've had seven 720s, one 920 and one 730 ALL suffering from this repetition crash with my Nokia 6230i, which is definitely one of the most compatible phones.

In my case, I decided the problem came from using RDS-TMC Traffic service in combination with handsfree. I have two devices now (720 and 920) so I run 720 for handsfree and 920 for Traffic and the problem seemed to be cured. But has returned a few times recently - not enough to persuade me to suicide, just enough to refute my theory of why it happens!

Since day one of my 520,
TomTom Faults

1 - TT Home keeps offering WRONG MAP 660 AND POSTCODE FILE.

2 - I can only connect to pc if i carry out a reset via pin hole.(Cured i think)

3 - When altering the speed limit of a road in mph,
Is 1 mile out (30 goes to 31).

4 - If i edit a built in POI (move or delete it),
it removes my warnings i have set for my POIs.

5 - When i delete one of MY POIs it shows WRONG SCREEN,
Instead of the delete button it shows dial button.
(does work as delete).

6 - Voice Stutters and breaks up.

7 - Bluetooth still crashes and sticks on one word when in a call.

Each one has been reported and standard reply, Fix on next release.
Next release, NO fix But have time to launch new models!
Iam now going to re open ALL my question history with TT until they fix it!

I understand there are things I can do to stop been offered old versions, But TT should sort it not us.

Only a couple of lines of program code are needed to check file version on the device and only ofeer newer ones.
Most of these bugs could be sorted in 10 minutes if someone bothered to check there coding.

Iam not an expert in writing code to the level of their programmers, but most of these bugs I could fix with the knowledge i know from Visual basic!

Trouble is that if someone has a product with a software glitch WE accept it!
Iam sure if we had a problem with a new car,tv etc it would be giving back and told to fix it.
We would not wait until the next release like TT promise but never fix.
