V4.0726.2.0.1 Feedback Please Respond

Only problems I have (as have been documented elsewhere) are with connecting to my BT-77 GPS device and the BT connection between my N73 and my PC is very flakey.

Other than that, no noticeable difference in performance.

this is the exact one i use

but bought from a uk seller

dont know if this helps at all

do you know what version your gps works on

i was thinking maybe nokia upgraded the bluetooth due to the stereo feature but maybe they forgot to code it so it was compatible with bluetooth v1.2 1.1 etc etc
so if your nokia is say bluetooth v2 which i think it is and your gps device was v1.2 which some are , now it might have worked before because the old firmware on ur phone was backwards compatible but the new software might not be backwards compatible

i know its a long shot but it sort of makes sense dosent it?? and maybe this is why some peoples work and others dont

just a stab in the dark though

KEEP THE FEEDBACK CUMING GUYS

Bluetooth connection to PC and file transfer - fine
Bluetooth connection to other phones and file transfer - fine
Bluetooth connection to headset - not tried
Bluetooth connection to GPS receiver - unachievable

My GPS receiver is a Fuzion Silvershield

In line with buxz's theory, my receiver module is Bluetooth v 1.2 but aren't later bt versions supposed to be backwards compatible?

yes ther are supposed to be iam wandering if this is what nokia messed up
they would have had to do summin to the bluetooth to add the stereo support so if they have messed with the coding then perhaps they messed with the backwards compatibillity etc

this would defently explain why it works for some and not others i may not be exactly right but ive got a feeling its along these lines otherwise it just seems weird how it works for some and not others there has to be a reason for this

nokia cant just say that it will work with some and not others there surely has to e a ruling to this ie has to be v1.2 has to be v1.1

i mean what are nokia putting in their gps devices that make their ones work so well?? are they v2.0 or 1.2

as we go along we can eliminate whats what

KEEP THE FEEDBACK COMING GUYS

N73/Tomtom 6 to Holux 240. Working fine. Kept a rock solid connection all the way from Essex to Somerset and back last weekend, even when i took the phone with me while paying for LPG. When i got back to the car, the Holux/N73 connection was remade before i even opened the door.

N73 to PC via bluetooth. Working fine. Both at home and at work. Walk into the room, instant connection. In fact right now the phones on top of the fridge, in the next room, through a brick wall, 15' away and still connected.

N73 to other phones. Working fine.

N73 to bluetooth headset. Not tried.

Pop email accounts set to periodically automatically download email over GPRS (access point specified), New email alerts set to On in Email account settings.

Emails are downloaded (email and attachments), but no icon or audible tone is heard when playing back music over Bluetooth via BH-500. Worked fine in firmware released prior to 4.0726.2.0.1.

heres a link to the nokia disscussion board concerining this firmware i help it can be helpfull to some people

theres a few peepz on there guessing the same as me that the firmware is having backwards compatibillity trouble with bluetooth versions 1.1

there is also eveidence of other gps devices working with this firmware so nokia hasnt made the firmware nokia only

i think we are slowly getting there with this bluetooth issue

any1 having troubles should try and get to a gps device with a higher bluetooth version ie version 2 and see how they get on

please get back to me if possible

I have the same problem with bluetooth connecting to my GPS device. Its from 2003 so will be running the older version of BT. Lets hope Nokia release a fix soon

Do you have multiple accounts set up?

I find that my default account (Yahoo) gets a mail icon, but my secondary (Google) never gets an icon.

I have 2 tiscali POP email accounts set up. If I have no BT connection, I get an icon, but none if I have the bluetooth connection to BH-500 established.

N73 with V4.0726,2.0.1 firmware.

32 channel gps receiver purchased on ebay (Series 2), working fine.
Tom Tom 6 (Installed on memory card), working fine.
Phone to pc (Bluetooth 2), working fine.
Dont have Bluetooth headset (yet).

Edit. Have just checked. My gps is the same as the one purchased by 'buxz777', on ebay.

It appears that the mail notification works correctly if can the charger is plugged in and the device is charging!!!!!!!!!

Quality.

And mail notification works correctly if audio playback over Bluetooth is paused.

Hi guys - yep, the newest Nokia firmware offering is sound enough but my original Tomtom Bluetooth GPS receiver is not communicating with my N73, it pairs but the tomtom program does not connect/communicate.
I have been in touch with Nokia, who's responses are, shell we say, are "generic" to say the least, "we are sorry you are experiencing problems....however, purchase the Nokia GPS as we have tested this and cannot speak for 3rd party hardwares, blah,blah" - Great, in other words, we dont care, make us richer by buying more of our products!.....
Anyone wanna buy an original TTGPS receiver, mint condish, say �30 + P+P???.....lol, no?, ok...EBAY it is then.
And yes, the GPS receiver works fine with my PC, Pocket PC and Orange SPVC500.
Oh well, another waste of time, i wonder if threatening Nokia with some bad publicity from a national newspaper would do any good?, prolly not!
Oh, and another yes, i do own 2 original copies of Tomtom, version 3 for PPC and version 6 for symbian!... 😊
