Well, I have had the situation where the Bluetooth keeps turning off and then I will type backspace r and usually have to go out and reconnect. This is definitely a humanware issue, not anything Sendero has done. I was in a chat in July with a lot of Braille note users (and Charles was there too,) and Maurice Sloan said at that time that Humanware had had to write their own Bluetooth program and quite honestly I think we are going to have to wait until our machines are offered a Windows Ce 6 program package to get this fixed, at least this was the impression we were given. Charles you may want to add to this or if any of you others were in on this chat chime in on this by all means. This is why Ihave done almost nothing with the voice note, its still on 3.5 with the gps because it simply won't keep a Bluetooth connection. So Hopefully, after the first of the year we will know more about what Hw is going to do. You realize that the direct competition was supposed to have a windows mobile 6 platform in their machines in September and those folks are still waiting, so I am told.
Happy Holidays everybody! Mary Ellen Earls----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles LaPierre" <charles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi GB,Well again I didn't do anything different there in how bluetooth works, except on enter and on selecting a Bluetooth GPS receiver I first see if Keysoft Bluetooth is turned on or off thats it which shouldn't affect what your experiencing. You may also want to try what I suggested in my last emailTake care Charles. At 12:23 PM 12/22/2007, you wrote:Hello,I have noticed the same issue yesterday with 4.2. I left the P K running theg p s software and shut off the m 1000 receiver and went in a building forabout 1/2 hour. Then I came outside and turned on my m 1000 and even waiteda few seconds and then did a r+backspace to re connect to the software. I tried this 8 to 10 times and then finely exited out of g p s and re activated the g p s program and got connected. Thus I tried this again in another building the same afternoon and had the same issue. In v. 4.0 and with patches did not experience this issue. -----Original Message----- From: gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peggy Kern Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2007 12:09 To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gps-talkusers] Harder to get a connection with 4.2 Hi, all. I'm looking through the documentation to see if I can find an answer to this, but so far I haven't found it, so I thought I'd ask on the list. With 4.1, I would turn on my Holux 1000, then enter GPS. If it didn't recognize that a receiver was on, I'd hit c, and it would try to connect, and would be successful. Often when I entered GPS, it would find the receiver right away. With 4.2, it almost never seems to realize the receiver is on, so I hit c and it tries to connect, then tells me again the receiver isn't on. So I have to exit GPS, turn off the Holux for a few seconds, turn it back on,then go back into GPS, and everything is fine. I'm using speech on request,so maybe I need to turn speech on to hear if it's telling me to do somethingI don't know about. But although the changes document says the software is smarter about recognizing a bluetooth receiver, mine seems to be dumber. Ormaybe it's the operator who's dumber? <sigh> Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? And I promise I'll keep reading, because it's probablydocumented somewhere and I just haven't found it. But we're going out for awalk soon, and I don't want to have to fiddle with things for a while beforeheading out. <grin> Peggy http://kernsac.livejournal.com/Charles M.
