Can't adjust volume on hands free call (BlueTooth)
I have a TomTom Go 920 GPS.
Volume when speaking navigation commands is great, and able to be adjusted to whatever level I desire. However...
When I connect my cell phone via BlueTooth (doesn't matter what kind - I have three different BlackBerrys and a Motorola Razr) I have no control over phone call volume, and the tiny bit of volume I do get isn't useable - I have to hold the TomTom up to my ear to hear.
I currently have installed software version 8.302, and updated it online using TomTom Home about an hour ago, still with no success. Any ideas?

The things you'd want to check first are:
1. the volume of your speaker is not turned off ...
2. your GPS (navigation) software supports voice navigation - directions /commands ...
3. you have (installed & selected) a navigation voice (e.g. standard or computer voice)
4. you have done a "reboot" ... or "hard reset" ... to start the software up again.
If all of these are OK ... and you previously had heard navigation voice on your GPS ... but suddenly, there's no more navigation voice, then it is possible that the navigation software (voice portion) got corrupted. If that's the case, you would want to try to restore your software from backup (using HOME), or download a copy of the navigation software from TomTom.com (for your device type/class) and install it.
Normally the voice commands are only available in the "Computer generated voice" mode. If you select any other voice, the feature is disabled. Hope this helps
repair both ...start fresh from start.....do a hard restart on the TomTom...this is located on the last menu of your tomtom...Factory reset...it will erase recent destinations and favorites....but it usually clears the tomtom....Now try to repair both the phone and the tomtom
Below is the procedures for setting the languages...
Touch tools > settings > language > voice.
Voice- changes the language for voice promts.
Languages noted with a persons name are (tts) text to speak voices.
which have an extensive vocabulary and pronounce the street names as you approach turns.
The pre-recoreded voices (those without a persons name) have a limited vocabulary and (do not speak names of locations or streets)
Text language- change all on-screen text to the selected language, changing the text language does not change the language of user entered data or map data, such as street names.
Keyboard- select the keyboard for your language, you can also change the keyboard language mode from any keyboard by touching the mode button
Adjusting the volume levels
From the "menu" page touch "volume" to adjust the volume.
To adjust the volume levels for the media player and the navigation prompts,
please click.
I located a forum post via google which gave exact details for the phone and provider. This connected sucessfully. problem was that one of the internet settings was incorrect on the phone and also manually inserting DNS values and logon script
Yes Nickarino is right.
When I switched on my new tom tom it gave me that option to speak street names and it vanished after selected a different voice.
I checked all manuals and web references in Tom Tom - none of them list it.
Like Nick said - what you need to do is swtich the voice type to SAMANTHA and it will show the option "Read Street Names Loudly".
I jumped on it and said yes ..!!!
Thanks Nick !!
there should be a volume button on your bluetooth, or you have turned your volume down on your phone, which is most likely, thats what i had done, crazy huh.
Well, according to THIS, the Blackberry 8100 can only be used for hands free calling with a Go920...
That said, it shlould be possible to establish a connection between the two...
Let the Go find the phone, not other way around...
It can take a LONG time searching for the phone, and it may not be able to establish a connection automatically..
If so, try to set it up manually, it will ask for that if it fails...
