I tried contacting HTC's HQ USA and left messages with one of their product managers there, but never received any replies.<br /><br />Long story short, it seems my HTC Incredible does not support SPP. I have found other threads where users try to connect SPP keyboards and game controllers without success. According to the one GPS vendor I called, all the external GPS units communicate over SPP. Looks like I am stuck!<br /><br />I am probably going to return the phone and GPS.</div></div><br /><br />Verizon is rolling out Android 2.2(Froyo) to the HTC Incredible. I'm hoping the bluetooth issue is fixed with this release. Since bluetooth works fine with the HTC EVO (Froyo, too), I think there is a pretty good chance that the Incredible will work now.<br /><br /><a href='https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/incredible.pdf&pli=1'>Verizon Release Doc</a><br /><br />JeffJeff Trackaroo2010-08-27T17:40:15ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Jeff Trackaroo2010-07-28T23:42:20Z2010-07-28T23:42:20ZYes, works on the Droid X.

I'm guessing this USA update will include those same bluetooth SPP fixes.<br /><br />The HTC Incredible update didn't happen, but it sounds like it was delayed a couple weeks to include the full Froyo update. A couple weeks delay is worth getting Froyo.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/07/19/htc-droid-incredible-htc-email/'> Boy Genius Report</a><br /><br />JeffJeff Trackaroo2010-07-19T20:28:55ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Alan James Wolfe2010-07-19T19:20:12Z2010-07-19T19:20:12ZThe HTC Eris is also getting an update to fix bugs related to 2.1. One of the fixes is a bluetooth fix so that the Eris now works with Jabra headsets. I'm hoping that means they fixed SPP while they were at it. I will query HTC once I get the update.Alan James Wolfe2010-07-19T19:20:12ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Jeff Trackaroo2010-07-16T17:00:14Z2010-07-16T17:00:14ZIt sounds like the Droid Incredible is getting an OTA update right now.

I was able to connect to a Qstarz 818x and log GPS data successfully. There were some issues with reconnecting (after disconnecting). In some cases, I had to toggle the bluetooth to reset it.<br /><br />JeffJeff Trackaroo2010-06-17T20:10:28ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Ruch Gini2010-06-17T19:29:26Z2010-06-17T19:29:26ZAny update on the Evo?Ruch Gini2010-06-17T19:29:26ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Ruch Gini2010-06-09T06:50:38Z2010-06-09T06:50:38ZYeah they were sold out all over the place here in Northern Cal. I preordered from radioshack for their next shipment which is this friday and they gave a $20 giftcard for preordering which i guess I can use towards sales tax haha.Ruch Gini2010-06-09T06:50:38ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Jeff Trackaroo2010-06-09T05:57:17Z2010-06-09T05:57:17ZGive me a couple days and I'll let you know. I'm trying to get my hands on a HTC 4G EVO. It's a little difficult since they are apparently sold out.<br /><br />JeffJeff Trackaroo2010-06-09T05:57:17ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Ruch Gini2010-06-09T05:30:55Z2010-06-09T05:30:55ZI'm actually just about to pick up an HTC Evo and was planning on purchasing your app first thing. But I fear the same problem that the Incredible has, the Evo will probably have so I don't want to rush out to buy the GPS just yet unless there are other methods of connecting.Ruch Gini2010-06-09T05:30:55ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Jeff Trackaroo2010-06-09T05:10:29Z2010-06-09T05:10:29ZSorry, the 818X can't connect via USB to your HTC. HTC needs to fix their bluetooth stack. I'm pretty confident that they will fix it, but not sure when. I suggest contacting HTC to hopefully get them to work quickly.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.htc.com/us/support/e-mail'> HTC Support Email</a><br /><br /><br />JeffJeff Trackaroo2010-06-09T05:10:29ZRE: Trackmaster v2.0 released!Ruch Gini2010-06-09T04:46:15Z2010-06-09T04:46:15ZFor the Droid Incredible users without SPP does the BT-818X connect via USB and would that work with the program?Ruch Gini2010-06-09T04:46:15Z
