I see, as of October 26 in Ontario we are not allowed to use "hand held communication devices" while driving either.
I just presumed that anew fancy fangled device as per the Google video comes complete with hands free speaker phone.

Phones also set up with a GE model 21518 Bluetooth adapter which rings through to home phones on a cell call BUT cannot be connected or Tom tom won't connect

 

TomTom Go 730
Samsung Highlight SGH-T749
T-Mobile, no data, Unlimited calling plan

Connects easily, downloaded address book, makes and receives calls good, receives messages. Calls are very clear..
Does not send messages. Causes bluetooth to fail and phone has to be turn off and on to reset.
After downloading new maps, bluetooth does not recognize phone. Turn cell phone off then on and it recognizes it and works.
I don't know if other downloads cause problems. So far, turning phone off then on corrects connectivity problems.

 

TT903T version 8.351, AT&T unlimited data and messaging.

I just changed to AT&T due to problems with my sprint phone no longer connecting to data services.
Both my phone (sony w518) and my wife's (samsung a797 flight) are uble to establish bluetooth/hands free/phone book transfer/ and data services...weather and plus traffic. The only issue I've had is that I must routinely do a pin reset to establish the data connection.

Regards,

Bill

 

I also have a Go 720 and I am trying to connect to an LG VX5400. It pairs fine, but after a few seconds loses the connection to the phone. My carrier is Verizon. Anyone know of a solution?

 

You could try downgrading to app 8.302 per here, don't know if it will help.

Connected easily. Voice works fine. Text messages received, but send from device not supported. Did not try data as Tomtom does not support in Canada.

 

Out of the box, the 740 paired easily with the Verizon LG Env2 (VX9100), and identified it as both handsfree and phonebook compatible. It downloaded the phonebook and worked fine with voice dialling.

I ran into a PC (XP) connectivity problem through the home dock and among other things I used reset to factory defaults without success. I was able to get connected using a direct USB connection to the windshield dock and updated the device application through HOME.

Now, the TomTom only recognizes the phone as a handsfree device, and can't access the phonebook. The status occasionally shows up as device disconnected. Restarting the phone and 740, and re-pairing didn't help.

Anyone know if TT broke the bluetooth code with their update or if there's some residual files/settings from before the factory reset that could be causing the problem?

 

See here. For rare phones, bluetooth is better after the update. For most phones, it's worse.
