Holux M1000 keeps disappearing

[bjhotch]

Hey,

I bought a Holux M-1000 last week, but it's been less than a match made in heaven. If I hard-reset my phone, and pair the GPS, it works fine. Sometimes it'll work fine, even though multiple sessions. Many times, however, it'll "disappear". Sometimes, if my phone "turns off" while the GPS is connected, I cannot get it to reconnect. I cycle the GPS, my phone, the BT radio, etc., in various combinations, and it won't come back. Neither Live nore the GPS app that came with it can find it again. Today, it happened for no reason. I had it connected and it worked, but I wasn't able to download the map via live. Since i had just reflashed my phone, I decided to do the Verizon over the air programming. I disconnected gracefully from the GPS, did the programming and, after the 2 resets, I tried to connect back up. No GPS! Nothing I did brought it back. This time, I went to the BT screen and changed from COM4 to COM5, and did the same in the GPS app under SETTINGS. For the moment, this seems to have worked, but I can't figure out why it's happening.

Anyone have a similar experience, or any words of wisdom?? I'm on a homebrew 3.5 1.0.4 ROM.

Thanks!

Brian

I've had problems with the M1000; worked one time - otherwise the mini GPS viewer either doesn't find the receiver or it just closes in the middle of scanning. I'm sending mine back.
