Greetings,

First, thank you for the opportunity to try TMJ. I have a new found interest in my Sony W810i now. This program prompted me
to debrand my Cingular phone so that I may use it with my bluetooth GPS. The difficulties I'm experiencing are twofold.

The first problem is that using the 'Exit' function doesn't always result in a clean shutdown, and the program hangs while cleaning up. I have to use the built in 'Exit Application' function Which may be the cause of the second issue.

Second, my GPS is always detected by the program's 'Connect' utility, but it doesn't always connect. The phone is setup for Bluetooth Powersave
'OFF' which allows for multiple BT devices to connect simultaneously as I also have a headset. Even with the headset off I experience difficulties.
The BT GPS in question is a GlobalSat BT359C.

I have other GPS programs on the phone that aren't suffering from the GPS connection problem.

Any assistance in this area is appreciated, I'm happy to provide any other information that may be of use.

Sincerely,

Mark

Thank you Stephen for the fast action. I did as you suggested, uninstalled the original app and installed the revised .jar..no dice. It acts pretty much like the other app following your instructions. One thing I failed to mention is that my GPRS internet globe appears pretty much all the time, as I've set it to upload to your site. I still have the shutdown hang as well, it only hangs on Exit if it doesn't go through your connection closing and cleanup procedure if that makes sense. Any way I can attach a debugger for you? I have Netbeans, Sun and the Sony plugins on my machine, but I've never written even a 'Hello, World' app in my life.
